The concubine lifted the table, the prince was too rampant

211: Follow the vines to find the melon, and Zijin is surprised again. The gray sky is dark and gloomy, and the end of winter is about to pass, but the earth shows no sign of rejuvenation. It is still so cold that it makes people want to hold the stove in their hands all day long.Zi Jin looked down at the copper hand warmer she was holding in her hand, hollowed out and carved with begonias, her clear eyes flashed with coldness.

Su Wan can be regarded as a character, she has always kept her own place in her own garden, at least no one can find her fault on the bright side, it is extremely difficult to punish her.And Suwan is very smart and smart, if you want to dig a hole for her to jump, you may not really make her jump.

Zi Jin once thought of finding an excuse to send her out, but was afraid of breaking the line, so she simply endured it, but she finally waited until today.

The residual incense in the incense burner was still lingering around the room, Zi Jin sniffed lightly, then looked at Xian Qiao and said: "Listen to the news at any time, no matter what, I have to dig out the people behind Su Wan. Difficulty sleeping and eating."

Xianqiao responded, and said: "Even though that man is as cunning as a fox, the servants will not believe that he can fly into the sky and escape from the ground."

"It's good if you have this determination. You have been with Su Wan a lot in the past few months. Don't you know how cautious she is?" Zi Jin sighed, "The enemy is too cunning, trying to catch her, You have to let go. Grabbing the loach with force will make the loach run faster, and if you loosen it slightly, it will have unexpected effects."

Xianqiao looked at Zi Jin with some understanding, then smiled and said: "Your servant understands, the young lady has nothing to say, so the servant will go down first."

Zi Jin nodded and said, "Call Zhou's mother in."

Xianqiao responded, turned around and left, and soon Mother Zhou came, "The old slave has seen the young lady, I don't know if the young lady has anything to ask for the old slave?"

Zijin looked at Zhou's mother solemnly, and said, "Zhou's mother, have you found any clues after a few months of private investigation? Has someone tampered with this Anyuan, otherwise I have been married for half a year. How could I not have a stomach? information?"

It's not that Zijin is eager to have a baby, but that Zijin can't tolerate being tampered with for not having a baby. The feeling that I am a fish is really bad.

Zhou's mother hurriedly replied after hearing the words: "The old slave has searched inside and out, no matter whether it is food, clothing, bedding, hanging in the house, or spices burning in the incense burner, nothing is found. .If someone has tampered with it, there should always be clues left, but the old slave really didn't find anything. The old slave is useless, please punish the young lady!"

Zi Jin waved her hand, "I can't blame my mother for this matter, that person is really too powerful. Neither the eldest lady nor the second young lady has moved, so it can be seen that it is really not easy to find out this person."

Zhou's mother looked at Zijin's brows tightly furrowed, she was also anxious, and blurted out: "Young Madam, when I was working in the Marquis of Changxing, I heard a secret story, but I was still a little girl at that time, and I knew There were not many of them. At that time, there were many concubines and concubines in the Hou family, and the struggle for power was fierce. One of them was unable to conceive a child. The old slave did not know the specific process, but later heard that the source of the accident seemed to be from the outer court. The male master was tampered with. You said that we have been searching in An Yuan, could it be Master Ye who should do the same?"

It's not that Zi Jin didn't think of this, and said softly, "Didn't the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master have already checked, and nothing wrong was found out?" If it was only Ye Fan, Zi Jin couldn't rest assured, but with Ye Jin, it was only A careful person should not make mistakes.

"How can a man be as careful as a woman? Sometimes a small detail can be fatal." Mother Zhou said.

Zi Jin thinks about it carefully, Ye Mingxuan has a study in the outer courtyard, it should be said that several young masters of the Hou Mansion have their own study in the outer courtyard, they form a separate courtyard, entertain colleagues on weekdays, meet guests there, do not disturb each other It's a quiet place.Zi Jin, Ye Mingxuan's study in the outer courtyard, has never been there.First of all, as a man/wife, you can't have no taboos in the inner and outer courts, and Zi Jin doesn't want people to think that she is narrow-minded, and she can't leave Ye Mingxuan for a while.Even Chu and Shen couldn't easily go to Ye Jin and Ye Fan's study.

But when Zhou's mother said this, Zi Jin felt that the problem might really be in the outer courtyard.

"The reasoning is not bad. I will tell my lord when he comes back, let's go to the outer courtyard to have a look." Zi Jin felt that this matter should not be taken lightly, so she nodded in agreement.

Zhou's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "It's best for the young lady to think so. After all, any doubts should be taken seriously, maybe it will be right."

Zi Jin sighed at this moment: "It would be great if Du Ruo was here, but now I really feel that there are not enough people around me."

Here Zi Jin lamented that there was not enough manpower, who would have known that Mrs. Yao seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection, and Lu's mother came to the door the next day.After the second day of the new year is the day when the married daughter goes home, Zijin went back in the second day of the new year, so when she suddenly saw Mama Lu, she thought that something had happened to Mrs. Yao, and she was very anxious for a while and asked Mama Lu to keep asking.

Lu's mother smiled all over her face, and hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, Grandma Wugu, the old lady is in a tough state, and I'm here today to send someone here for you."

Zi Jin was taken aback, "Send it to someone? To whom?"

Mother Lu laughed and said, "It's Lin Zhong's wife."

Hearing the name Zi Jin suddenly hadn't recovered, Lin Zhong's daughter-in-law... eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Lu's mother and said in surprise, "Du Ruo?"

"Exactly, Du Ruo gave birth to a son prematurely in August last year. She originally thought that Du Ruo would come to work with you after three months, but the old lady thought that the child was too young, so she said that Du Ruo would wait until the child was six months later. Come on. Now that the child is six months old, the old lady knows that Du Ruo has been with Grandma Wugu for many years, and she is cautious. In order not to let her have any worries, she even bought a nanny to take care of her child until she was two years old." Mother Lu said with a smile on Mimi.

Zijin sighed slightly in her heart, in fact, she knew that according to the original plan, Du Ruo would not be able to work as an errand until the child was one year old.It is very likely that the old lady learned something from Xianqiao's mouth when she went back during the Chinese New Year, and she was worried about herself.In the first lunar month, people can't be forced in, so they have endured until now, which has sent people in.

Zi Jin looked at Mama Lu's red eyes, choked with sobs and said, "Mama Lu, please tell the old lady when you go back that Zi Jin has made her worry about the old man, not being filial in front of her, and only causing trouble for the old lady. I'm sorry, Zi Jin will definitely kowtow to the old lady in person after two days of free time."

Lu's mother hurriedly said: "The old lady said, these are not important, the important thing is that Grandma Wugu is pregnant with the child as soon as possible. It is said that they have been married for almost a year, why is there still no movement?"

Zi Jin was afraid that Mrs. Yao was worried that she hadn't told this matter. Now that she heard Lu's mother say this, Zi Jin couldn't continue to hide it. Thinking that the old lady is well-informed, maybe she can really understand the tricks in it. , so he said the matter in a low voice.

Lu's mother was shocked after hearing this, her face changed, and she said, "No wonder the old lady said there must be something wrong with you..."

Hearing Mama Lu's words, Zijin understood that Xianqiao didn't tell Mrs. Yao about it carefully, after all, she came out with her, and if she didn't order some things, it would be considered that Xianqiao used to be Mrs. Yao. The wife doesn't dare to talk nonsense, Zi Jin is very attached to her heart.

"I was afraid that my grandmother was worried, so I kept it a secret. I thought maybe I was lucky. Who knows that there has been no movement until now. I am also a little anxious, and I am preparing to investigate thoroughly." Zijin lowered her voice, "It's just that if it is true What is most frightening is that someone has tampered with it, but everything that can be checked inside and out has been checked and there is no clue. This is the most frightening thing."

Mother Lu couldn't sit still when she heard this, so she said: "The old slaves have to hurry back and tell the old lady that Du Ruo's family will come to see you tomorrow, so you can arrange whatever you want." He took out a stack of papers, "This is their family's deed of prostitution, Grandma Wu Gu has kept it."

Zi Jin took it over, nodded, and sold the contract. In ancient times, such a piece of paper restricted people's freedom.

Zi Jin personally sent Mama Lu to the door, then called a few girls and Mama Zhou in, told everyone about the happy event, then looked at Mama Zhou and said, "How would you like to arrange Du Ruo?"

Zhou's mother thought for a while and said: "Lin Zhong's wife is already married, so it's not good to live in the inner courtyard. Our Hou's mansion has a special place for servants to live in. It's better to arrange it there. It's far from the Hou's mansion. If Lin Zhong's wife It is also convenient to go home and see the children, there is a corner door behind our yard to get in and out."

Zi Jin nodded, looked at Zhou's mother and said, "You go to the young lady's place and ask the young lady to arrange a place for Du Ruo's family to live. If the young lady asks why there are still people coming in at this time, you can It is said that she was originally a dowry dowry companion at the beginning, but she didn't come with her because she was pregnant, and now she has to come over to serve her after she has a child. Needless to say, the eldest young lady is a sensible person, so she naturally knows what to do."

Mother Zhou nodded and smiled. Xianqiao, Shui Rong, Hanmei, and Yantao were very happy. Speaking of which, Du Ruo has always had a good relationship with them.

On the second day, Du Ruo really came. She had gained a lot of weight because of the childbirth, and her complexion was very good. The light blue dress made her feel more energetic.Seeing Zi Jin shed tears, not to mention the excitement that the master and servant could see each other again, and Xian Qiao and the others also talked and laughed around Du Ruo, Zi Jin asked the child, Du Ruo replied: "Is there a nanny to see?" I can't walk down the ground yet, and I don't dare to take it out of the house casually, and I will bring it to the young lady to see when I can run down the ground."

Zi Jin nodded, the survival rate of ancient children was extremely low, so they were extra careful, "What's your name?"

"One character is a celebration, his father married it." Du Ruo smiled shyly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Zijin asked Xianqiao to take out the auspicious objects such as the longevity lock that she had prepared long ago and gave them to Du Ruo, "It's my heart, I hope the child can grow up healthy and strong."

Du Ruo hurriedly thanked Zijin, and Zi Jin asked if the yard arranged by the Young Madam was satisfactory, and Du Ruo answered one by one. There are three main rooms and east and west wing rooms, more than enough for a family to live in.

"You don't have to come here today to be on errands, and you don't have to be too early tomorrow. You still have to take care of the child. You can come over after [-]:[-] pm, and you can go back at [-]:[-] pm in the evening. The child is still too young, so you need to provide more snacks." Zi Jin thought It is better to have a nanny or a biological mother in front of you, so extra preferential treatment.

Du Ruo said in a repeated voice: "How can you do this? You are too generous, and you don't dare to be a slave. It is a blessing for a slave to be considerate of a master, but if someone accuses the young lady of acting out of order because of this, it is not good. The slave will follow It’s fine for everyone else in the Hou’s mansion to be the same. I’m not the only one who has children. Don’t deny that I can do what I can do. What’s more, the old lady found a nanny and a girl for the slave’s children. If I’m not satisfied, what else is there? Face is on the job here."

Du Ruo insisted on refusing, so Zi Jin had no choice but to let it go, but she still smiled and said: "You are only settling down today, so you don't have to come here, come and take care of me tomorrow morning, my yard lacks a daughter-in-law who is in charge, after all, Zhou's mother is old , you help her share more."

Du Ruojian complied abruptly, and then resigned.

In each yard, there is a nanny in charge, who belongs to the head steward, and there is also a small steward, who directs all the chores in the yard and leads these maids. Mother Zhou has always been in charge of these two tasks alone. So, Xianqiao and the others are not married, so they can't do these things. Now that Du Ruo is here, Zhou's mother can breathe a sigh of relief, so she is very happy.

Du Ruo is very adaptable, coupled with the guidance of Zhou's mother and the help of Slimy, he became familiar with An Yuan in a few days. Because of Du Ruo's matter, Zi Jin also specially raised Mrs. Ye, Du Manqiu and the eldest princess. After this matter, everyone has no objection, after all, it's just that the dowry came late, it's no big deal.

As soon as Du Ruo's affairs were delayed, Zi Jin's plan to go to the outer study was put on hold. Now that Du Ruo is familiar with it, and everything in the courtyard is clear, Zi Jin wants to find a day when Ye Mingxuan comes home to go to the outer courtyard together. walk around.With Ye Mingxuan by his side, there would be less gossip, Zijin didn't want to make trouble out of nothing, so she was extra cautious.

That day Ye Mingxuan came back early, looking very good, walking lightly, Zi Jin widened his coat for him, changed into a homely robe, and asked: "What is so happy, you won the battle?"

"Madam really hit the nail on the head, that's right. Admiral Jinghai's attack was really extraordinary, and he won the battle with a good start. The emperor was very happy." Ye Mingxuan smiled, stretched out his hand to wrap Zijin into his arms, and sighed: "The I haven't been home for a few days, and I miss you in my dreams, do you miss me?"

Zi Jin's face turned red, the girls were still in the room, this one who didn't know how to avoid suspicion hurriedly pushed Ye Mingxuan away and said, "I have something to tell you, you just came back just fine."
