green bamboo dream

After sending Du Shi away, Yuzhu sat on the kang and hesitated for a while, then slowly stood up...

Don't mention the grievances between them, even if it's for Xie, she can't turn a blind eye.

Standing still in front of the thick curtain to prevent the cold, the little maid was about to report when she saw her, but was stopped by Yuzhu.

A woman's flattering voice was vaguely heard inside: "...The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Although we are far apart, I would like to come here to say hello to Mrs. Tai, wish you an early year, and wish you all the blessings, prosperity, prosperity... I also hope that you can give a few words of 'blessing' and paste them on the door during the Chinese New Year, so as to be blessed by you."

Princess Zhuyi laughed briskly, and said: "Get up, you have been suffering in Zhuangzi for a year, what is such a small hope? It happened that I had nothing to do yesterday, so I wrote a few more, but they are all cheap. You, go back and post it and get a lucky one."

Seeing her master's radiant face, Yu's mother also had a flower blooming on her old face, and she was so busy that she wanted to pick it up herself.

The smile on her face froze when she saw Yuzhu coming in, and then she slowly knelt, "Greetings to the second wife."

Yu Zhu nodded with a smile, and slightly saluted Princess Zhuyi.

"It's lively here."

Scanning down a circle, there are quite a few women standing on the ground, they should be sent by Zhuangzi from various places to the Duke's mansion to send the annual report and reply.The lady Cai who spoke was a woman in charge of the Zhuangzi, because she often sent some fresh vegetables to the mansion, and she was able to speak fluently, so she was quite respectable in front of Mrs. Xie.Yu Zhu was deeply impressed by her unusually plentiful breasts, so she recognized her at a glance.

Today she was wearing an official green silk beanie, her hair was combed slickly, and she had a silver hairpin the size of a pinky finger inserted. She looked very energetic.Seeing Yu Zhu looking over with a half smile but not a smile, the old woman gave a coy smile, her head was depressed and she dared not speak any more.

Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The princess is instructing me to host the show... When there are too many people, it will be lively."

After managing the family for nearly a year, Ji's progress is extremely obvious.

Princess Zhuyi said with a smile: "It's better to have a lot of fun during the Chinese New Year... I saw green sheep and deer tendons on the list, and I can add vegetables at night, so I can make it..."

Yu Zhu didn't want her to just push it over like this, so she turned her head and said to Ji Shi immediately: "Brother Yi, daughter-in-law, what you said is wrong, how can the princess have the time to guide you to host the middle school? We will deal with it here and in Mongolia. General affairs should be different... Even if you are lazy, you should find a better reason."

Hearing this, Ji Shi laughed, poured a cup of tea affectionately and put it in front of Yuzhu, saying: "Your eyes are like a torch, you can see it right away."

"You two are really smart." A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of Princess Zhuyi, and she forced a smile for a moment: "It's a pity that I guessed wrong. I have been learning how to cook with my mother since I was nine years old. Bodhisattva blesses you, and you can still cook after all these years." I haven't forgotten."

"So that's how it is." Yu Zhu clicked his tongue twice, then sighed again: "Then you still say in front of the old man that you don't want to interfere with the housekeeper... What a pity."

The smile on Princess Zhuyi's face could no longer hold back, "Is it a pity? Then if Brother Yi's daughter-in-law is too busy in the future, I will..."

"Sister Jiaoying and Sister Xin preside over the Zhongfu?"

"Come and see" before the three words could be said, Yuzhu quickly picked it up, "This is great, thanks to your blessing, I will say that he will be more decent in the future, but it is a pity that I have to wait for several years .”

Ji's eyes lit up, and without Yu Zhu's signal, she smiled and said, "I'll thank you first for the two children."

Yu Zhu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and took a sip of hot tea from the teacup beside her, as if she had just discovered that there were still many servants standing in the hall: "...Everyone has worked hard, and it will be warm and snowy at noon soon , the road is not easy to walk, so I won't keep you guys any longer."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly bowed their knees and retreated.

"Look, Mrs. Cai has lost face today."

"No, who told her to hurry up and post on Mrs. Tai, she will definitely be hated by the second wife and the eldest grandma... Her days of crying are yet to come."

"Hmph, I don't have any vision and I still want to join the mansion, so stay at the Zhuangzi with peace of mind."

……

The women walked away talking and laughing.

Granny Cai gritted her teeth, spat hard at the backs of the people in front, and cursed: "A group of old wimps, they are willing to die of old age in the mud, and they don't allow others to run up, what the hell."

A daughter-in-law who was following her looked at her mother-in-law worriedly, and said softly: "It seems that Mrs. Tai has no idea of ​​a housekeeper. Are you going to make grandma unhappy?"

"You are young, what do you know?" Mrs. Cai muttered unhappily, pulled her eldest daughter-in-law's arm and walked quickly a few steps, looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Although Mrs. Tai is a stepmother, but She is married to the eldest princess, and is also the mother-in-law of the eldest grandma, the mother-in-law of the second wife, no matter how capable the wife and grandma are, she can't talk about the word filial piety. She has a high seniority and a young age. I'm afraid it's all under Mrs. Tai's world. If you don't take advantage of this time to flatter, when Mrs. Tai is really the housekeeper, those villains will not come over to flatter you like flies, and there will be fewer opportunities."

"But Mrs. Tai told the old man that she would not take over the butler. I have said all this, can I go back on my word?"

Mrs. Cai triumphantly pulled away her daughter-in-law, and while admiring the scenery along the way, said: "If you are the master, you will be nailed with one mouthful of spittle? It's a joke, even that one may not be able to do it... Besides, the mother-in-law tosses the daughter-in-law, If the daughter-in-law can't make it, there are as many means as there are stones in the river."

Stretching out her finger to the sky, Mrs. Cai gave her daughter-in-law a meaningful look after speaking, and deliberately added an accent to the last sentence.

The daughter-in-law bowed her head obediently, helped Granny Cai go forward, and said courteously: "Mother, there are stone steps ahead, be careful where you step." But she gritted her teeth in her heart: You old man is really the only one in the world! Are daughters-in-law as easy to bully as I am? If my father hadn't died of illness, who would be so spoiled by you...

After all the mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law left, Princess Zhuyi's face was stiff, and after a few words, she got up and left.

When Princess Zhuyi's back disappeared at the door, Ji's tense body gradually loosened up, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, Second Aunt, for coming here on purpose."

If Yuzhu hadn't come here today and said those words again, she really didn't know what to do, maybe after this year, the servants in the mansion thought she was the housekeeper of the Tai Furen.

"I know it's not easy for you... If you encounter this kind of thing again, just send someone to look for me. If my natal sister-in-law didn't happen to bump into it today, you would have suffered a lot." Yu Zhu put down the teacup with a smile, and said: "Okay, there's nothing important right now. Anyway, I'm out, so I'll go with you to see the two flowers in our house. It's been a long time, and I miss you."

Ji Shi got up with a smile, led Yu Zhu back to her room, and ordered the servant girl to carry the two sisters up.

The two children are both white and fat, and they wear the same gold-beamed satin Bajixiang hat, which sets off the pink faces of the one big and one small, which is really pleasing to the eye.

In front of the Ji family, Yu Zhu couldn't get too close to Sister Xin, so after a little hug, she teased Sister Ying.

Seeing her daughter's big watery eyes turning around cleverly, Ji couldn't help touching her daughter's little hand, "This child is very annoying."

Yu Zhu said with a smile: "It's good to grind talents. Could it be that you want your child to be sick all day long?"

Sister Xin was teething, and clear saliva was flowing down her plump chin.Yu Zhu wiped her hand with a handkerchief with a smile on her face, and looked up inadvertently, only to see that Ji Shi was in a daze.

After looking at it calmly, Yu Zhu coughed lightly after she was convinced that she was right.

When Ji came back to her senses, she stroked her temples in embarrassment.

"But tired?" Yu Zhu signaled the nanny to carry Sister Xin and Sister Ying down, and straightened the skirts that were a little wrinkled from holding the baby.

"No……"

Yu Zhu could tell that Ji Shi really had something on her mind, but seeing that she didn't want to say anything, she got up and said goodbye with a smile: "It's been a while since I came out, brother Xi can't see me and it's time to make a fuss, so I'll go back first."

Ji hurriedly got up, hesitated for a while, and saw that Yu Zhu was about to go out, and then hurriedly said: "Second Aunt..."

"Huh?" Yu Zhu took back the steps that were about to step out of the door, and turned her head with a smile.

"It is true that I have something to bother you." Finally she said it, Ji's whole body relaxed, pursed her lips and thought for a while, then asked Yu Zhu to sit down: "...I really have no choice, otherwise I wouldn't dare Bother you."

Yu Zhu suppressed her smile, and intuitively felt that it might not be a small trouble for Ji Shi to show such an expression.

It turned out that Cheng Siyi was very strange recently, he was in a trance all day long, his spirits were listless, and he was often away from home.

Ji sighed and said: "...My husband used to leave the Yamen, and he returned to the mansion in a short time. But now, if the curfew is not reached, he will never come back."

Yu Zhu was shocked, how could this behavior be so familiar.

Quickly asked: "Have you asked the servants and long followers in front of him, those who go out with him in the town will always know."

"I asked a long time ago, and said that I went to drink with my colleagues... Either Mr. Zhang is treating guests today, or Mr. Li is hosting a banquet tomorrow. There are all kinds of entertainment at both ends of the three days." Ji's eyes were red, and once she couldn't help talking to Cheng Siyi said it, and was rushed by Cheng Siyi impatiently: "You were the one who asked me to go out to meet the world, but now you think I'm busy all day... What do you really want, and what should I do to satisfy you?"

At that time, her tears were about to fall. There is a saying in the book called "Repentance teach husband and son-in-law to find a prince", but her husband is just a small official bought with money, and his status is far from that of a prince. Why is it like this? ?

"Don't panic." Yu Zhu calmly patted Ji's shoulder, "Brother Yi must be surrounded by someone you put in."

She has no doubts about this, the Ji clan is not weak in the first place, and has been taught by the Xie clan for so many years, how could he have no means at all.

Sure enough, Ji's nodded awkwardly, and said, "There are two."

"That's it. Since I belong to you, it is very likely that what I said was not a lie. Maybe things are not as bad as you think." Yu Zhu took a deep breath. It seems that Cheng Siyi is impulsive and ignorant these days. Some, but good natured, not like that kind of person. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward.
