Fair Lady

The Chinese New Year is coming, and the servants are getting busy.Although there are only three masters in the summer house, various matters still need to be prepared, and the atmosphere of the New Year must be adjusted.

Because of Jin Xida's relationship, there will definitely be people who will send New Year's gifts, and Xia Zhai will naturally have to prepare a return gift.

But with Mama Liu inside and Uncle Kui outside, Shujie and the other three naturally don't need to worry about the New Year ceremony.

Now, when it comes to Uncle Kui, Mother Liu has to give her a thumbs up. She is a veritable housekeeper, and she is considerate in everything inside and out.

Since Zijin came to Shuyao's side, Shuyao took some nourishing qi and blood nourishing pills that Gao Mingde had given her before, and deliberately made her drink the water that had been invigorated in the treasure box Zenglingge once a day, He also asked Zijin to learn some simple boxing techniques from Lan Jin, just to exercise his physical fitness.

Zijin's body was obviously improving, and her pale face became more and more rosy day by day, which made Uncle Kui very happy, as if she had endless energy all over her body.In Uncle Kui's eyes, his father and daughter just met the lucky star and fell into the lucky nest. Naturally, they have to contribute their best to this lucky nest and protect the lucky nest and their three lucky star masters.

Not only Uncle Kui, but also the servants of the Xia residence have a feeling that since they entered the Xia residence, their health is getting better and better, and they seldom get sick.Some people originally had some minor ailments that bothered them for a long time, such as migraine headaches, such as bone injuries that would cause pain whenever the weather changed, such as women’s abdominal pain and weakness in hands and feet in the days when the monthly letter came... After entering the Xiafu Finally, as the days go by, I always suddenly find that I don’t feel pain for a long time, or it doesn’t hurt that much.

Only you know your own body best, and it's not uncommon for one or two people to feel this way.But everyone felt this way, and after chatting with each other a lot, they could only come to one conclusion: thanks to the master's blessing, this summer residence is a blessed place.

In fact, in order not to be too obtrusive, Shuyao usually uses the same water, food and other ingredients in the house as the soybeans used in the tofu workshop. They are only placed in the fresh-keeping layer of the mahogany box to increase the spirit. Naturally, the effect cannot be compared with the spirit-enhancing layer.

There are only water, snacks, supplements, etc. specially for Jin Xida and their three brothers and sisters, as well as the water specially used for Zijin's nourishment, and the medicine that Wu Zhenzi gave when Mama Liu's old injury broke out.Only put it in the spirit-enhancing layer or the effect-enhancing layer to increase the spirit.

The life of the three brothers and sisters of Shujie is still as usual, but, since they came back from Nangong Mansion that day, there is an extra item in the gatherings and pastimes of the three brothers and sisters before and after dinner: listening to gossip.

When Shujie first heard Shuyao's request, he was at a loss. He didn't understand why his younger sister suddenly wanted to hear gossip, and she wanted to drag their brother to do such... um... a bit boring thing.Later, Shuyao talked about Fubao's robbery of rose flowers.His complexion changed drastically, and he was terrified, and immediately understood Shuyao's intentions.

There are many rich families in the capital, and the relationships and twists and turns between these families are more complicated. Although their brothers and sisters still don't know what happened to the rose flower, it is obvious that they went for Shuyao.

This time Xiao Ding was able to hook up with the accountant Shuyao with the aunt of Nangong Mansion.Next time you can join forces with others to harm them.In addition, the foster father's relationship, competitors of the tofu shop, dragon fruit, camellia cultivation... may cause danger or trouble.

Shujie is young and has to concentrate on preparing for the exam.Sister Shuyao is even younger and has no contact with the outside world. The information is too closed. It is a channel to learn more about gossip. Although the information is not necessarily true, it is better than their eyes. .

Early the next morning, Shujie called Mother Liu and Uncle Kui to the study to talk about it.Let them arrange.Mother Liu and the two admired it very much, secretly thinking that although the young master is young.But it is shrewd and experienced.Mother Liu suddenly realized that she had stayed in Yulin Town for a long time, and she had been too slack. It was time to use her relationship to help the young master and the girl filter some information.

Xia Zhai has an advantage: few masters, simple relationship, servants are not only loyal but also united, so whenever the three of Shujie have any request, they can always fulfill it very quickly.

Uncle Rong, the second housekeeper who assists Uncle Kui in handling foreign affairs, and Aunt Dong, the mother-in-law who is in charge of purchasing, are the main "gossip" speakers.

Of course, Uncle Rong's gossip is mostly about major events in the capital, related to those aristocratic families and "men" in the official family, such as what new policies the court has introduced, who has made meritorious deeds and promoted, whose family is in trouble, and Which one bought a shop again, which son caused trouble again...

Sometimes Uncle Kui will add something, or make some inferences and analysis based on his experience.Anyway, it's just chatting in the mansion, as long as it's not pointing fingers at the current imperial court, it doesn't matter.

Generally, after Uncle Rong's "gossip", Shujie and Shuwen will go back to their yard, because it will be time for Aunt Dong's "backyard gossip". Engagement, which wife, young lady in which house and who in that family have handkerchiefs, or have a grudge... Except for the "dirty things" that young girls are not suitable for hearing, Aunt Dong's gossip news is really all-encompassing, Everything that one expects to find, plus the eloquent Aunt Dong, is as wonderful as a storyteller.

Of course, whether it is Uncle Rong or Aunt Dong, they always pay special attention to matters related to Murong's family, Ding's family, and An Guogong's mansion.

One day, after the Shujie brothers returned to their study, Shuyao held a cup of tea and began to listen to Aunt Dong's "storytelling". The new padded robes that Shuyao wears during the Chinese New Year, the Shujie brothers have all finished, and the girls' clothes are more flowery, so they are put at the end.

Aunt Dong opened her mouth with a piece of "big" news: General Huwei's mansion invited an expert to match Ma Juntao and Murong Zhi's horoscope, saying that the two horoscopes are incompatible, and one side will overcome the other. The Ma family has formally proposed to the Murong family. Retire.

Many people are spreading rumors that the Ma family was not included in the emperor's banquet list last time, so the old general Ma was so angry that he was about to retire and was thinking of an excuse. Murong Zhi "offended" the empress dowager again and rewarded Nangong The old lady's Fubao, the name of "Broom Star" once again resounded in the capital, and it was really sleepy that someone gave me a pillow.

Shuyao expected Ma's resignation, although Ma Juntao is a fool.Still don't worry about marrying a wife.

Lan Jin curled her lips: "It's cheap, then Murong Zhi, now the Murong family don't have to stare at our girl anymore, right?"

Mother Liu smiled and said: "Silly girl, it would be 'cheaper' for Murong Zhi if the Ma family had withdrawn their engagement before, but now it is not a good thing for her to withdraw from the engagement."

"Isn't it?" Aunt Dong put on an exaggerated look of disgust, "Now everyone says that the young lady of the Murong Mansion is a broom star and disfigured, the whole lower half of her face is full of flowers. Don’t even dare to look at her. Think about it. If a fool saw it, wouldn’t it scare people to death? Then it’s strange that General Huwei’s mansion doesn’t withdraw their marriage.”

Shuyao asked suspiciously: "The Murong family is willing?"

"Of course I don't want to," Aunt Dong said with a smile, "I heard that Mrs. Murong was crying and making noise, but the Ma family is right in this matter? Who wants to marry a broom star? Although the young master of the Ma family is stupid, but At least he’s alive, isn’t he? It’s said that Old General Ma still loves his eldest grandson very much.”

"That's true." Shu Yao chuckled lightly.Bow your head and sip tea.Now that the Ma family is in full swing, the Murong Mansion didn't dare to withdraw their marriage back then, so they paid her attention, and now the Murong Mansion also dare not not to withdraw their marriage.

"There's one more thing," Aunt Dong suddenly patted her thigh, "It's about the house of the girl Nangong who is good friends with the girl."

An aunt of the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Nangong Mansion.I heard that she was still a noble concubine, but she suddenly fell ill.He died on the first day he was sent to Zhuangzi.Both Nangong Mansion and the aunt's natal family confirmed that she died of a serious illness, but someone spread the word that the aunt had a good relationship with Mrs. Murong and was restrained to death by them.The aunt's daughter was implicated by the eldest lady of the Murong Mansion earlier, and was also caught by the cat, leaving a few scars on her right hand.

Aunt Yu?Shu Yao almost choked on the tea.Could it be that Aunt Yu and Xiao Ding's hands and feet were discovered by Nangong Mansion?Even so, even if it is punished, it will not be "dead from serious illness", right?At most, they will be grounded or sent to Zhuangzi for a few years.

Shuyao didn't think she had that much face.Even if Nangong Mansion knew that Aunt Yu and the others were plotting against her, they would not kill Aunt Yu to "revenge" her.What's more, she was not injured, and no one knew about it.

Mother Liu didn't know when Shuyao changed the rose flowers, she was puzzled: "It might be that Murong Zhi is really a disaster star, you see, she was arrested, and the second Miss Nangong sitting next to her was also involved. Immediately afterwards, the aunt died of a sudden illness, yo, no one should dare to approach her after this."

Several people were feeling emotional, and a servant girl came in and replied: "Miss, a few people came from outside the house, they were brought by Zhang Gui, who is next to my aunt, and they said they were the eldest young master's grandmother, aunt, and cousins."

Big brother's grandmother?Didn't she go to live in the southernmost sea city with her eldest son?I heard that the eldest brother's uncle was doing well there, so he took my mother and younger brother over there.In the first few years, there were still news, but gradually there was no news.Why did you come here suddenly?

These are all the last time in Zhen's mansion, Xiao Lin mentioned Shujie's maternal ancestral home, and later Shuyao was curious and asked Shujie to find out.

Shujie's grandfather was originally a hunter, and later opened a small sauerkraut shop in the town.By a coincidence, Xia Zhihan who was robbed by some bandits was rescued, and Xia Zhihan, who was injured in his leg, was sent back to Xia Mansion.Xia's residence didn't want people to say that they would not repay their kindness, and they were reluctant to part with money and property. It happened that Xia Linxuan was old enough to say goodbye, so they let Xia Linxuan marry Orion's daughter, Zhao Shi, and saved a sum of dowry.

Fortunately, the Zhao family was still a beautiful and kind woman, so Xia Linxuan recognized her, after all, the Zhao family saved his father.

Shujie said that his grandmother, Zhao Heshi, was a very kind and kind person. He was taken care of by Zhao Heshi before Shujie was 5 years old. At that time, Xia Linxuan and his son lived in the Zhao family, but Xia Linxuan worked as a bodyguard in the Xinyi Bodyguard Agency and rarely went home. Shujie followed his grandmother and little aunt.

Later, Zhao's eldest brother established a foothold in his small business in Haicheng, so he took Zhao He, his second brother, and younger sister to Haicheng, and sold the sauerkraut workshop and yard in Yulin Town.
