Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 369 Visiting the Golden Gate Young Years

Cao Mansion, Shaoyuan.

After Cao Yong asked Ann to go out, Zhao Jia's depression was unstoppable, and he couldn't help sighing.Although Cao Yong has all the rules and etiquette, it is just for the sake of glamor in front of others. If he is not his own son, he will be so obedient to win over him.

Now, apart from Cao Yong, she complained more and more about Cao Song in her heart.This silly son seems to have the same nature as his father, he only recognizes his elder brother's kindness, but he can't see his mother's suffering.

Although she couldn't bear it, she recovered from her "illness" yesterday, stopped the medicine soup, and started to eat.But Chuyu sympathized with her greasy body, and ordered bird's nest porridge to be brought over sooner or later.

No, Xicai, the maid at the Wutong Garden, sent bird's nest again.

In Cao's family bird's nest is not considered a precious thing, even in Jiangning, Zhao Jia's often ate it.Now what she uses is the top-grade "Blood Swallow" in the bird's nest, which is simply not available in the market, but it is much better than what she used before.

When the old matriarch was alive, Mrs. Zhao Jia also saw this in the yard over there, and it was given to him by the emperor in Jingli.Now, after eating this, she paid attention to it and asked the servant girl to inquire about it quietly.

Sure enough, as guessed, this one was sent by someone from Prince Chun's Mansion because Chu Yu was pregnant.Zhao Jia's cannibalism is short, so the complaints against Chu Yu are a little less.

It's not easy for a woman in the world, even if you are a princess princess, don't you still have to take care of your husband, and you can't afford to make mistakes?Because Zhaojia has been domineering for half of his life, and he also suffered a lot from the notoriety of "jealousy", so looking at Chuyu, who is connected with the same fate, he doesn't feel as obtrusive as it used to be.

When Xicai went out, she leaned on the kang, ate the bird's nest, took the handkerchief from the lapel, wiped her mouth, and said to Luju who was standing next to her: "I'm all done, let your grandmother also" Okay, well, it’s not auspicious to toss too much for the Chinese New Year!”

Lu Ju responded in a low voice, Zhao Jia saw her like this, sighed and said: "Those two old girls, what are you tossing about now? I am also annoyed by directly picking your faults and hitting me in the face. It depends on For the sake of grandma, she has twin bodies now, so I, as an aunt, can still make trouble with her at this time!"

Lu Ju hesitated for a moment, and said to Zhao Jia: "Madam, grandma is getting old, she likes to hang out, pick up business, and spread gossip. The maidservant is her grandson, although the two aunts taught grandma that day, but It's just the words that matter! Wife, don't worry too much about grandma's affairs... Don't talk about grandpa and grandma, even the second and fourth masters, I'm afraid I will hate grandma too much... Grandma will also be seventy I'm old, or my wife will give her grace to take care of the old man! There is no need to alienate the mother-child relationship between the wife and the men for the sake of grandma."

Seeing that Luju's head has been stripped of pearls and emeralds, and her body clothes have changed into plain clothes, Zhao Jia said these words again, and she really loved her.In the past two years without her husband, she has had a hard time.The sons are ignorant, the eldest daughter is married, and the second daughter is too young, but Luju serves her wholeheartedly by her side.

Mrs. Zhao Jia just looked at Madam Zhang's affection and treated her differently from others. Seeing that she was so down-to-earth, she liked her more and more.

Those pearls and emerald clothes were all rewarded by Zhao Jia.Green Chrysanthemum was afraid of being ostentatious, so she packed them up and didn't wear them.Mrs. Zhao Jia saw that the maids in Wutong Garden were decent, and fearing that she would be outdone by others, she put all the green chrysanthemums on them.

This time Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang had an outbreak of Luju, Zhao Jia knew that it was not Luju's fault, but she couldn't hide her face and said it was her own fault, so she was a little embarrassing.

Hearing Lu Ju's selfless and selfless words, Zhao Jia became more and more determined.She stretched out her hand, called Luju to the bedside, took her hand and said, "My good boy, it's really rare that I love you all the time! Your grandma is my nanny, and your mother is my nanny." Sister, speaking of it, it’s okay for you to call me aunt. Now, you don’t have an old lady, and you can still be so loyal by my side, even this kind of heart will bless you to have a good fortune!”

The front of the words was fine, but the latter words were not something the girl could hear, Luju blushed, lowered her head and said nothing.

The more Zhao Jia looked at her, the more she fell in love with her. Thinking of her niece from her mother's family, she is good-looking, but the young lady is really arrogant.

With such a dignified appearance as Lu Ju, if she was from another family, she would be a concubine, even the main wife.Cao Song is a reckless guy, and he just needs such a proper person by his side.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao Jia frowned when she thought of the jade dragon and the jade spider who were currently serving in Huaiyuan.These two lowly maidservants are really daring, she has only been ill for two days, so how dare they not set up rules with her?

Huaiyuan, wing room.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Yulong's face turned pale, she covered her mouth with a veil, and was too shocked to speak.Yuzhu opened her arms, her face was full of tears, grabbed Yulong's arm, and begged in tears: "My good sister, you really want to save my sister this time, the second wife... the second wife will make people beat my sister to death." of……"

Yulong's brain couldn't turn around for a while, and after hearing this, she couldn't help but wondered: "Why is this? My sister is pregnant with the second master's flesh and blood, why did the second wife beat my sister to death!"

Although she has never been pregnant, because there have been several pregnant women in Cao's mansion in recent years, Yulong knows a little about these.Jade Spider is petite and thin, plus she was wrapped around her stomach and wearing loose clothes before, so she doesn't show her bosom.This untied the clothes and removed the wrapped cloth, and the stomach was already swollen, and it looked like it would take five or six months.

I heard Yuzhu crying and said: "The second master is in the filial piety period, not to mention that having a child will damage his reputation, the grandma who is going to come in is the second wife's niece, naturally she doesn't want a child from a concubine to obstruct her eyes!"

Yulong took out her handkerchief, sat down on the kang with Yuzhu, wiped her tears, and said, "Since my sister knows, why did you keep it secret? If the stomach is smaller, it's just a medicine; now At this age, if the second wife refuses to give birth, wouldn't she be killing her?"

Yuzhu was also really scared in her heart, she shed tears, and cried: "My good sister, don't you see what the second wife is thinking? People like us are not as good as cats or dogs in her eyes! My sister is also annoying. I found out why the second wife got mad at us when she entered the mansion, and she gave us... the soup... It was all instigated by that old man surnamed Zhang! Her granddaughter is the green chrysanthemum next to the second wife, she coaxed the second wife, Cleaned us up just to make room for her granddaughter!" Speaking of this, she couldn't help gnashing her teeth and said, "I heard that the second wife was the one who persuaded the second wife to sell us. Only then did we stay; she brought up the matter of the eldest son, fearing that we would give birth to a child early... If my fate is unlucky and I go like this, it's fine, but if I survive this test, there will always be a day when I will take revenge on that old man. I will definitely tell her to die badly!"

When it came to the end, the jade spider had a ferocious expression, and looked very frightening.

Seeing her resentment, Yuqin hurriedly persuaded her: "Sister, be careful, you have children, so it's not appropriate to talk about this!"

After hearing this, Jade Spider's face immediately softened. She lowered her head, looked at her stomach, and rubbed it lightly with her hands, her tears seemed to flow, and she couldn't stop it.

Although Yuqian felt a little uncomfortable in hiding the matter from her for a long time to Yuzhu, but now is not the time to talk about that.Seeing Yuzhu's sad appearance, Yulong also felt sad, saying: "Since my sister has kept the child, she should think about the child more, don't hurt your eyes by crying. Let's beg the second master to go, this is the second master's relative." As for the flesh and blood, even if the second wife is annoyed, the second master will not give up this child!"

Yuzhu shook her head and said: "Silly sister, even if the second master can protect it for a while, can he still protect the child until it is born? If the second wife sends someone to pour medicine, how can she take advantage of the second master's presence?"

Seeing her crying so pitifully, Yulong couldn't help crying too, sobbing and saying: "Then what should I do? My sister's stomach is so big, if she really drinks the medicine, let alone a child, even my sister will die." No guarantee!"

Yu Spider raised her face, grabbed Yu Qin's hand, and said, "That's why I asked my sister to save my sister!" Saying this, she stood up and wanted to kneel down.

Yulong couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly supported her: "Sister, just say what you want, we entered the mansion together, and we have served the second master together these years. Could it be that my sister can help or not?"

Yu Zhu wiped the tears off her face with her hand, and asked, "Really?"

Seeing that she was so unhappy, Yulong was also a little annoyed, and said: "If my sister doesn't believe it, don't tell me!"

Yuzhu hurriedly said: "I said I said... my sister begged my sister, help me to beg my grandma... only she can protect me in this whole house... my sister was confused before and did something wrong, which made my grandma Grandma and Miss Zijing both hate me, but my sister is different, I've watched them treat my sister with a bit of sincerity over the past few years!"

After hearing this, Yulong couldn't help frowning. Mrs. Zhao Jia and Mrs. Zhang were suddenly "ill" this time, and the mansion also had some excuses.Besides, the eldest grandmother is the head of the room, and there is no reason to interfere with the housework of the second room.

Seeing her like this, Yuzhu said: "The uncle loves the second master the most, and the grandma treats the second master like a brother. Although the elder sister is an eyesore, they look at the second master's face, and the younger sister begs for the older sister. Please forgive me, grandma is kind, she will obey! Good sister, you have already taken the second wife’s medicine, and you will not have a child of your own size in the future. The child of your sister is your child. If God blesses you, you can pull an adult , tell him to be filial to you!"

The previous words were nothing, but after hearing the latter, Yulong's face turned pale.Over the years, she has been looking forward to having a child all the time. She originally thought that it would be best to have a daughter when grandma came in.If you don't talk to your mother intimately, it won't hinder grandma's eyes.

How many times, she couldn't move when she saw the child, and the most favorite place in the house was Grandma Tian's yard.Now, there is no hope at all.

Yulong looked at the rain-like jade spider in the pear blossom, and then at her stomach, feeling that she was so strange.She stood up, turned around, stopped looking at the jade spider, and asked in a low voice: "If you really think I am a younger sister, why did you go to such lengths to hide it for six months? In these six months, you have nothing but two Ma'am, is there me?"

Yuzhu didn't expect her to say this, she blushed and argued, "My sister misunderstood, how could my sister have such a meaning? It's just...just..." In a hurry, she couldn't find a suitable excuse, so she paused After a pause, he said: "...It's just that my sister is honest, I'm afraid that you will be coaxed to talk about it..."

Yulong turned her head and said with a wry smile: "Stop, are you being coaxed? Elder sister has already planned to get younger sister to come forward, right?"

The jade spider was hit by her words, and she was speechless, her face became more and more ugly, and there was a bit of despair in her eyes.

Yulong glanced at her stomach, finally couldn't bear it, and sighed: "Sister, don't worry, my sister is going to ask Grandma!" After finishing speaking, she walked out of the room quickly without stopping.

Yuzhu's body softened, and she sat on the kang, clutching the front of the bed, crying silently.

Yulong came out of the house and was blown by the wind, only to feel her face was cold.She reached out to touch it, but she didn't know when tears were streaming down her face.

Afraid of being seen by others, she hurriedly went to her own room to wipe her face before leaving Huaiyuan and heading for Wutongyuan.

When passing by Shaoyuan, Yuqin remembered that she was stumbled by a jade spider today and hadn't filled Zhaojia's cigarette pouch yet.After hesitating at the door, she went to Wutong Garden first.Otherwise, when she went to the Shaoyuan, the second wife would think of the jade spider again, so that someone would spread the word, that would be great.

When they arrived at Wutong Garden, Chuyu was not there, only Xiyun took a little maid to watch the house.

"Did Grandma go to the second wife's yard?" Yuqin asked seeing that Chuyu was not there.

In the six months since Zhaojia's visit to Beijing, those who restrained the jade dragon and the jade spider seldom came to Wutong Garden.

Seeing the jade spider coming over today, Xiyun felt strange, so she hurried to sit in the room, and replied: "Gege went to Grandma Tian's yard together with the uncle. Today is the birthday sacrifice of the father of the two young masters. In the morning, I will send it to the kitchen. After the altar was placed, the two of them changed their clothes and went to worship after the uncle came back from the yamen!"

Yulong whispered: "Since that's the case, I'll wait for Grandma and ask for something!"

Xiyun brought candied melon seeds and said with a smile: "Look at you, you don't come here for half a year, you seem like a guest? It is said that the second wife can take care of people, but I didn't see anything else, but she made you look like a little daughter-in-law! "

Yulong couldn't answer easily, so she smiled and grabbed a few melon seeds, thinking about how to beg Grandma...
