Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 183
Today's weather is very good, the thin and bright sunlight slanted on the snow, reflecting a beautiful light golden yellow, and the soft snow is as tender as the skin of a beauty.The air is crisp, transparent and clean, taking a breath, the heart and lungs become clear.

"Mother Rong, they say that snow doesn't turn cold into snow, but why can't I feel cold? What do you think, Mother Rong?" Yao Cunhui raised his hand and brushed the road as he walked on the bluestone slabs that had been cleaned by the early servants. The snow on the side branches giggled to Rong's mother, Guazi's face was flushed, her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

After falling asleep in the middle of the night last night, although Rong's mother didn't turn over, Yao Cunhui knew that she didn't fall asleep all night, and she also knew why she didn't fall asleep.

"Miss!" Rong's mother was still gasping in her heart. She didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but when she saw her reach out to fiddle with the snow, she raised her hand and patted the snow off her hand, and scolded: "It's such a cold day, Carefully catch a cold!"

Seeing Yao Cunhui looking at her with crooked eyebrows and smiling, Mama Rong couldn't help but soften her heart, her face softened a little and she said with a smile: "The sun is here now, besides, the snow hasn't started to melt yet. The snow will melt in a while, look how cold it is! Go faster, it’s not fun to be frozen!”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to close the big red feather satin cloak and the snow cap of the same color as the wind for her.

Yao Cunhui saw that Rong's mother was not angry anymore, she finally smiled reassuringly, nodded her head and said "Yes", the master and servant hurried to Liuhua Mountain House.

"Morning, Second Miss!" In the Liuhua Mountain room, due to the turmoil last night, Fourth Aunt just got up and was sitting in front of the vanity mirror ordering Hongxiu to comb her hair. When she heard that Yao Cunhui had arrived, she got up and greeted her with a smile.

Yao Cunhui saw that she was wearing apricot-colored embroidered velvet thick pajamas and a lake-blue printed toga outside, so he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Auntie, let's wash up first, I will sit with Rong Ma."

"I don't know that Second Miss is so early!" Fourth Yiniang smiled a little embarrassedly, she personally led Yao Cunhui to sit down, and then ordered Qingmei to move Zhang Xiaoyu to sit down, and ordered someone to pour tea before returning to the room to continue washing.

"Si Yiniang has fewer people serving here, should we add two more?" Rong Ma asked in a low voice.

Since Fourth Aunt became pregnant, two more people should have been added to take care of her, but Master Yao immediately invited Nanny Cui and Nanny Li from outside to take care of her, so she didn't add any more people.Now that the two nuns are gone, it seems that there is not enough manpower.

Yao Cunhui shook his head, and said with a smile: "Mother Rong, I wish you had worked harder with Rhizoma Polygonum, Xiao Xing and Xiao Li. It's not good to put newcomers here at this time!"

"It's the old slave who is confused!" Rong Ma suddenly recovered.

After a short meeting, Fourth Aunt packed up and came out.

I saw him wearing an orange-red embroidered woolen jacket and a pink-purple skirt, with his temples slanted on his head, and a red and sapphire golden hairpin inlaid with a hundred seeds on one side. Qingmei came out with her arm smiling and supported her waist, and greeted Yao Cunhui affectionately.

"In the future, I'm afraid I will come to see my aunt every day. Don't you think it's annoying for my aunt to be so polite? Let's do as usual, auntie, sit down!" Yao Cunhui smiled slightly.

"Okay, please forgive the impoliteness of the maidservant and concubine!" Si Yiniang smiled, sat down cautiously, thanked Yao Cunhui repeatedly with a smile on her face, and said that it was really wrong and uneasy for the second lady to take care of her.

Yao Cunhui couldn't help but smile and persuade her again.

Seeing that Fourth Aunt was not successful, she went wild, and treated Yao Cunhui as respectful and polite as always, and the depression in her heart dissipated a little, but when she thought of the child in Fourth Aunt's womb, Rong Ma became a little nervous again: If this child It's really a boy, doesn't the young master have another competitor?

On this matter, Rong Ma and Ma Shi actually had the same opinion, both of them were very puzzled by Yao Cunhui's dedication to protecting the fetus in Fourth Aunt's womb.

How did they know that Yao Cunhui couldn't bear to deal with a pregnant woman. As a doctor and a woman with modern thinking, she couldn't do such a thing; The child has become Yao Shizan's competitor!
The fourth aunt is an orphan without a father and a mother, and also a concubine who was born as a maid. Her son is not qualified to compete with Yao Shizan!

Yao Cunhui asked Qingmei and Hongxiu for a while, and explained some more, then smiled at them and said: "From now on, I will come here twice a day. There will be one staying here, you don’t have to worry about anything, they are here, just like you, helping to take care of the fourth aunt! If you have anything to say, just say it! Take care, after these two months, the aunt will be safe Childbirth, father and mother will reward you generously!"

Hongxiu and Qingmei hurriedly bowed their heads and agreed.

Yao Cunhui said to Si Yiniang again: "Si Yiniang, you don't have to be nervous, just relax and take care of yourself as usual. I won't go to the rice shop these days, and I won't go out. I'm just in Luomeiyuan. If you have anything to do, just call People are looking for me! There is an old saying that mother and child are connected, if you are in a good mood, the child in your womb will be in a good mood!"

Fourth Aunt felt relieved, smiled and nodded.

Qingmei talked quickly, and wondered: "The young master is still in the aunt's stomach, will he be in a good mood?"

"Of course, mother and child are connected! If you don't believe me, ask Auntie if the young master often greets her in her belly!" Yao Cunhui laughed.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Fourth Aunt raised her hand and gently stroked her abdomen, her face was full of tenderness.

Qingmei was startled, remembering that when the master came, she would often lie on the fourth aunt's belly to listen to the young master's movements, she couldn't help but blushed, and smiled embarrassingly.

Xiao Xing and Xiao Li handed over the paper sheet handed over by Yao Cunhui's order to shopkeeper Hao, and conveyed her instructions to tell shopkeeper Hao clearly, and then they wanted to leave and go back home.

"Wait!" Shopkeeper Hao carefully looked at the neat regular script on the head of the rope in his hand. The items were listed clearly and clearly at a glance.

This earnestness and meticulousness made shopkeeper Hao deeply moved, and he had the same regret as Master Yao: It would be great if he was a man!The Yao family's rice line is not worried about no one inheriting it!

"Second Miss, why don't you come here? When will you come?" Although he is not a man, shopkeeper Hao is still willing to teach Yao Cunhui a lot of skills, and the end of the year is when the affairs of various places are gathered, and there are many things that cannot be learned on weekdays. Only at this time can we learn. Shopkeeper Hao doesn't want Yao Cunhui to miss this opportunity.

Xiao Xing and Xiao Li looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: How can we talk about this inner house?Then he laughed and said: "Second Miss has other very important matters, I'm afraid she won't be here for two months!"

Shopkeeper Hao raised his eyes and took a deep look at them. Although he didn't know what happened, he guessed that it must be related to the inner house.

He thought for a while, then picked up two volumes from the table and handed them to the two: "Take this back and give it to the second lady, let the second lady read it when she is free, and write down anything she doesn't understand on the paper, and wait for her to read it." After reading it, you all bring the volume together with the questions she asked!"

Xiaoxing and Xiaoli were very happy, knowing that Yao Cunhui would be happy to see her, they smiled and agreed, and took it carefully.

Sure enough, when Yao Cunhui saw the volumes they brought back, and heard the words of shopkeeper Hao conveyed, he immediately smiled radiantly, and gently stroked the volume with a dark blue cover with his slender fingers, feeling a warm feeling in his heart. flowed through.

"This year, just such a small dividend?" In the warm pavilion of Tangliyuan, Mao shook the three thin 100 tael banknotes in his hand and asked the second master Yao's face, "How do you live this year!"

In previous years, there were at least five or six thousand taels, but this year is good, not even a fraction of previous years!
If it is said that the rice shop is losing money and the business is not good, then that's fine. She has heard that the money earned this year is even more than in previous years!

The miser who kills a thousand knives!Mao couldn't help cursing secretly in her heart, her face turned even colder.

"It's good to have it, what else do you want? It's not like you don't know!" Master Yao Er couldn't hold back his face anymore, and stared at his wife coldly.

This incident was the most failed and shameful mistake he did in his life, and the price he paid for it was not only money but also face.If she hadn't picked three and four, he wouldn't have done it at all!

Master Yao Er became more and more embarrassed as he thought about it, and said coldly, "Don't cause trouble for me, brother is willing to give 300 taels, that's the best of humanity!"

Master Yao has always been in the same boat when it comes to business, public is public, private is private, the second master Yao caused such a big disaster, he is the one who took care of the aftermath.If he wasn't his own brother, he would have dismissed him from Mihang long ago.

"This, isn't this intentional to prevent us from celebrating the New Year!" The anger in Mao's heart snowballed and grew bigger and bigger, one after another, and his body trembled slightly: "You are the boss, not the shopkeeper. It's not a buddy either, you already have a share of the capital of the Yao family's rice shop, how could the big brother do this!"

300 taels of silver, it’s not enough to go back to my mother’s house to buy gifts and give rewards, how can I celebrate the New Year?

Mao's natal sisters-in-law, plus an aunt who returned to her natal family to be a widow, are not cheap lamps!She is both envious and disdainful for her marrying into the rich and powerful imperial merchant's family!In order to beat her, every time they meet, they always say bitter words in the open and in the dark, mocking her for not being able to be a family and being in charge, and that the dignified censor's daughter is living under the hands of a concubine's superior "sister-in-law"!

Mrs. Mao felt resentful in her heart, and every time she went home, she would wear the most fashionable clothes and jewelry, and bring a lot of gifts to honor her parents. The red envelopes for her natal nephews and nieces are also big, and people are not lenient in rewarding them!
But this year, what should we do?
300 taels, enough to do?
Moreover, now she bought all the first-class jewelry to raise money to buy food for the second master Yao!
Second Master Yao saw that her complexion was cloudy and uncertain, she was gnashing her teeth, and the light in her eyes was flickering, so he knew what she was thinking.Master Yao Er sighed softly, unable to bear the sadness.

"Forget it! This year, it's a big deal not to go back..."
