green bamboo dream

The "things" Cui mentioned were the concubines of the old man. They all seemed to have divided their work. The men surrounded the old man, vying to curry favor with each other. My mother is dead and sad.

The women are all following around Ji's side, greeting the female relatives, they are not diligent.

Cui looked at them coldly, pointing at Yu Zhu, "...a few of them are not honest, that kind of thinking is really an embarrassment to the Duke's House."

Pointing to a tall and thin woman, she satirized, "Look at her frivolous appearance, she greets people casually without considering her own weight. Even though Mrs. Zhongqin is the second wife, she is not able to entertain her."

After finishing speaking, he pushed Yu Zhu to let her in——now is not the time to watch jokes, but the face of the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Zhongqin was feeling very uncomfortable, she felt better when she saw Yuzhu coming, she greeted her politely, and persuaded her softly, "...you have to mourn and take care of yourself."

She was wearing a plain hang silk gown, with a simple sandalwood konghou hairpin on her head, which set off her elegant face, which was plain and clean. In addition, she was not very old, and her tears were shining, which made people look at her. I feel pity in my heart.

If Yu Zhu hadn't known that she was Zhao Jin's biological mother, she couldn't believe that such a gentle woman would have given birth to such a disaster.

"Yes." Yu Zhu replied and invited her to sit in the inner room.

"No." Mrs. Zhongqin shook her head, with anxiety in her eyes, "You have a lot of customers here, so it won't be a problem...there is still something to do at home."

Yu Zhu didn't stay any longer, and personally sent her out.

As for what happened, she can probably guess, isn't she just worried about her precious son Zhao Jin.

At Uncle Zhongqin's age, he might not be able to have another son, so for her stepmother, Zhao Jin will be her future support...

Seeing Mrs. Zhongqin's figure disappear around the corner, Yu Zhu rubbed her nose, if she knew who was behind the scenes that caused Zhao Jin's life to suffer, she would have great fun

Back in the house, I saw an old lady with a strange face pulling Tang Shi to talk, and Cui Shi stood beside her with a cold face.

Seeing Yuzhu approaching, he pulled her and whispered, "That's the old lady of the Tang family."

Um, the one who said he was jealous, Yu Zhu nodded and said secretly: I hate it, even though the truth is so, don't say it out, let's keep a low profile.

However, she did not shy away from it. Generally, elderly people are not very happy to come to such occasions. They often let their daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law come to complete the ceremony. If they come in person, they have other purposes besides being old friends.

Yu Zhu secretly tugged on Cui Shi's sleeve, "Mother, you are not afraid of her saying provocative things to the second sister-in-law."

Cui's eyes were as bright as a rainbow, and she smiled, "If she can't even tell this, then I will love her for nothing."

"I don't know what Miss Tang San is thinking now." Yu Zhu shook her head, seeing the empty sachet with a very rough seal... the shock was probably not trivial.

"Go and see." Cui smiled gracefully, and walked up to greet Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang turned her head to see Mrs. Cui, and called out "wife in-law", with a very affectionate attitude.

"...I haven't seen my second granddaughter for a long time, I miss you so much." Although Mrs. Han is senior, she didn't dare to underestimate Mrs. Cui, and said kindly, "You just happened to come here. Nice to talk to you."

Cui glanced at Tang, and seeing her dazed face, she asked, "Oh, what happened?"

"My two granddaughters have had a good relationship since childhood... The third girl's marriage has also been settled a few days ago. The little girl is always a little timid, and she is weaker than others... No, after a serious illness, I just want to see the second girl one side."

Mrs. Tang looked at Tang's face lovingly, and continued, "I can't bear to look at it. I thought it was a trivial matter, so I agreed to her..."

Seeing her loving grandmother, Yu Zhu couldn't help wondering if she knew what Miss San had done.It's fine if you don't know, but if you know...that would be disgusting.

Cui's eyes flickered, and she said, "It turns out that Miss San is ill, whether it's important or not, what did the doctor say?"

"It's okay, as long as you are more open-minded, it will be fine after a few more days."

"That's true." Cui pursed her lips and chuckled, "There are so many troubles for children... But after all, you are going to someone else's house, so there is always worry."

She turned her head and said to Tang Shi, "Wait for the matter here, I'll go with you, it's okay to stay a little longer, you two sisters can have a good chat."

Tang shi heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded obediently.

After Cui Shi and the others left and saw off some distant guests, Ji Shi and Yu Zhu looked at each other, but they couldn't even pull out a wry smile, and didn't dare to rest, so they hurriedly prepared their speeches.

It was inevitable to cry again, and when Yuzhu returned to the Qingyuan Courtyard with red and swollen eyes, she felt dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.

Mother Xie carefully pinched her head, then hurriedly fed her some bird's nest porridge, and then served her to rest.

The second master sent a letter back early, saying that he was going to prepare for the funeral tomorrow, and asked his wife not to wait for him to rest earlier.

Only a small palace lantern was left to prevent getting up at night, and Mother Xie and Mother Ruan led a few maids to close the door and go out.

"It's really fate."

Mother Ruan sighed, and walked side by side with Mother Xie. Because it was still cold at night, she sleeved her hands and quickened her pace.

Mother Xie nodded and said, "This old lady is also unlucky, she dies like a lamp goes out, in the future...it's hard to say."

Passing by the small kitchen, Ruan's mother stopped and walked in, "Just go and sit with me tonight... I'm not afraid of your jokes, I can't sleep well if I go to sleep right now, I'm just thinking about it."

While speaking, the stove was built quickly, and the red fire was shining on her round face, with a slight frown between her brows, she said to her mother, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll get you something to eat together." It's over...Second Master still doesn't know if he wants to eat, he has to prepare it, and he won't be free later."

Mother Xie stepped forward to be a helper, taking over from Mother Ruan to light the fire.

"Then Aunt Song doesn't know what's wrong, whether she died of illness or continues to be raised like this."

Ruan's mother took out a plate of braised duck tongue and spicy diced radish and put it on the table, then took the flour, kneaded the dough neatly, and smiled nonchalantly, "What does it matter? Thinking about the old lady's pressure, will the old man soften his heart?"

"You don't have to worry about it. I look at the uncle and the second master are not easy to provoke." Mother Xie said succinctly, "We just need to protect the wife."

Ruan's mother put the noodles into the boiling water and said, "That's right." Instead, she concentrated on preparing stewed squab with yam lean meat for Yuzhu. If the soup tastes good, it needs to be prepared earlier.

As soon as the tidying up was finished, a little servant girl ran over and said, "Second master is back, he hasn't eaten yet, let the small kitchen bring in some casually."

"So fast." Ruan's mother hurriedly agreed, and got up to put the ingredients into the pot...

Cheng Xunxun entered the inner room with a cold face, a sense of low pressure permeated his whole body.

Hua Ruo and Zaoyuan looked at me and I looked at you, and finally bit the bullet and stepped forward to serve.

"You all go down."

Cheng Xunxun reached out and pressed his forehead, without even looking at the two of them.

Hua Ruo and Zaoyuan rushed out as if they had received an amnesty. When they got to the door, Ruan's mother came in with a bowl of fresh bamboo shoots and sliced ​​pork noodle soup, and said with a smile, "Second Lord, eat while it's hot."

Cheng Xunxun didn't talk too much, he ate the noodles with a few chopsticks and drank the soup cleanly.

Ruan's mother cleaned up the dishes and left hot water, and then retreated.

Cheng Xunxun walked to the side of the bed and saw that peaceful sleeping face, he was relieved, his eyes showed pain.

His heart felt tight, and he was at a loss as if he was about to split open... As soon as he closed his eyes, Xie's pale and thin face and those tightly closed eyes appeared in his mind...

Gently stretched his hand under the quilt, hugged Yuzhu Lianren and the quilt in his arms, and gently kissed her red and swollen eyes...

Yu Zhu was exhausted during the day, and now she was sleeping soundly. She only twisted and rubbed when she changed her position, and soon settled down again, lying on Cheng Xunxun's chest and fell asleep soundly.

When I woke up the next day, I was still alone in bed.

The hand unconsciously climbed up the side of the neck, dry and dry.

In the dream, there seemed to be a few drops of hot water falling down, making her heart clenched together...

Called Hua Ruo to come in and change clothes, temporarily forgetting about this matter.

In the Tang mansion, Miss Tang San was in constant panic and could not sleep all night.

The maid Shui Hui, who was close to her body, went out to splash water with a basin of cloisonné enamel painted peonies, muttering in her heart, why the second lady came back and persuaded her to still be the same.

Mo Ba came out of the room with uncontrollable anger on his face, "Our girl is so pitiful."

She clenched her fists and said angrily, "They are all Misses of the Tang family, so why did the second miss marry the young master of the Lin family and marry us into the Kong family?"

"Shh, keep your voice down." Shui Hui was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth with a hand, and said in a low voice, "It's early in the morning, what are you yelling about, wouldn't it be sad for the lady to hear it?"

Only then did Mo Ba stop, and after thinking about it, he lowered his voice and complained, "Master is partial."

As personal maids, they must be married to Kong's family, and there are two ways out in the future, one is to be a housekeeper and concubine, and the other is to serve as a servant, who has a better life.

She also recognized it at first, but if the Kong family is like what the young lady said, what's the point of being an aunt?

No wonder the old man who made the marriage contract, Mo Mo poured all his resentment on the "scheming" Tang Shi.

Hmph, I didn't expect that the second young lady usually treats their girls so well, but in fact she was secretly in the dark, and hurriedly snatched a good marriage, and kept the young lady and had to go to the Kong family to suffer.

"Hanqiu has already become a roommate." Her eyes were full of envy, and the handkerchief in her hand had already been twisted into twists. "I'm going to lift my aunt after giving birth. What a blessing." (To be continued) .If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
