happy event

Chapter 167
"I'll kill you vixen, I'll kill you! I'll let you snatch the concubine from me..." The more she thought about it, the more she became angry, and the strength of her hands became stronger and stronger. Begging for mercy, he had no choice but to hug the master's leg tightly, and begged, "Miss, miss, please forgive me. Woohoo, servant girl... servant girl will go to arrange the manpower now, and they will enter the palace, and it will be convenient for the lady to deal with that person in the future... "

When Liu Xiaozhen heard this, his subordinates slowed down.She sat on the chair and took a sip of tea, and said angrily, "If you don't get out of bed, pretend to be dead! Hurry up and make arrangements for me, don't begrudge the money, I want the woman who sweeps the yard to obey me!"

"Yes, miss." Hongyu resisted the pain and got up, saluted respectfully before slowly retreating.

"Stupid servant!" Liu Xiaozhen cursed, and then thought about what to do when she went to her aunt tomorrow.As things stand now, apart from the strong support of my aunt, there is no other way to force my cousin to change his mind.

She was so lost in thought that she didn't see Hongyu's hands pinching the door leaf at all, because the knuckles were faintly white because of too much force...

The four great joys in life can be described as rain after a long drought, encountering old acquaintances in a foreign land, wedding night in the bridal chamber, and the time of being named on the gold list.This night, in the backyard of the palace that finally calmed down, Murong Huaide, who was dressed in robes again, was depressed.On the last bridal night, he was playing the role of the silly son of the Cao family, not to mention consummating the marriage, and he must always be careful not to show his feet in front of his wife.Although he was able to hold his fragrant and soft wife in his arms this time, but there was a high swollen belly between them, and the two sons naughtyly stretched their fists and kicks from time to time to remind their parents of their existence.

Murong Huaide let out a long sigh, and Dong Rong, who was buried in his arms, was amused, so he asked, "Are you regretting that you forgot to let someone catch a magpie outside the door and scream a few times when you woke up this morning?" ?”

Murong Huaide laughed dryly when he heard this, he didn't intend to continue this topic, otherwise more old stories might be revealed.

"Go to sleep, I've been tired all day, and I have to go to the main courtyard to offer tea tomorrow morning."

How could Dong Rong allow him to avoid the topic, but before she could speak again, Murong Huaide was already snoring half-truthfully.So she lowered her head and took a bite on his shoulder, and finally leaned on his arm again and closed her eyes.

The young couple had a good night's sleep, woke up in the morning, washed up and had breakfast, changed into two sets of happy and well-fitting clothes, and prepared to go to the main courtyard hand in hand to offer tea.As a result, when I went out, I saw two big maids who had obviously been well-dressed standing at the bottom of the steps. Both of them squatted down and saluted softly, "My lord, your concubine is well."

Murong Huaide didn't even look at them, he summoned Guanshi Zhang who was waiting at the side and said, "We'll be back soon, you deal with them as soon as possible."

Manager Zhang quickly nodded in response, "Don't worry, master."

Murong Huaide helped his wife with his own hands, and took Yiba and Zizhu to the main courtyard slowly.As soon as Guanshi Zhang waited for the master to go out, he called out loudly to all the people in the yard to come forward, and the last person handed out two taels of silver, and said, "The concubine of the world is happy, and I don't want too many people around me. So, you take If you want to reward the silver, you can find the big housekeeper to reassign the errand."

Is this to expel everyone from the palace?A group of maids and servants looked at each other, they were all a little hesitant, they almost broke their heads for this job, some of them were entrusted with important tasks by the princess or someone, so they were kicked out so easily, whoever got it Wouldn't those hard-earned money be lost?

Thinking in this way, the two big maids wanted to argue a few words, but Zhang Guanshi didn't give them a chance, and just waved his hand and asked Yun Rui Fuzi to help them out.

Everyone stood outside the door and heard Steward Zhang yelling for people to "clean" the entire yard, they were all discouraged.The ghosts in their hearts hurried to report to the master, and the silver coins in the hands of the rest of the people also walked away wisely.

Concubine Liu was taking her niece to drink tea and gossip in the hall. I don't know if it was the careless woman in charge of the laundry or the palace was already in such distress that there was no food or use. Except for the chair where the concubine was sitting, there were no cushions for the rest, even the hall. The bluestone floor tiles in the middle are not paved, and they are so clean that they can almost reflect the carved wooden beams of the roof.

Taking the opportunity of drinking tea, Liu Xiaozhen glanced at the floor tiles, the corners of her mouth curled up strangely.

Murong Huaide and Dong Rong walked slowly all the way to the main courtyard. When they entered the hall and saw the empty room, Murong Huaide turned cold and scolded the old woman standing at the door, "Are you so old Can't even pour the tea? Then go home tomorrow, the palace doesn't raise waste!"

The old nanny originally wanted to follow Princess Liu's wink, but now seeing that the prince was angry, she ran to pour tea and brought it over on a tray.

Just as Dong Rong was about to kneel down, Murong Huaide took off his robe and threw it on the ground, and then helped his wife to kneel down.Dong Rong's heart felt hot, and when she slowly bent down and lowered her head to touch the cold floor tiles, she didn't feel aggrieved at all.For this man who treats her like jewels like jewels, she will overcome even the mountains of swords and fires, let alone kowtow to his biological mother?
"Mother, please drink tea."

Concubine Liu stared at the teacup, the coldness in her eyes almost froze the tea, she wanted to drop the teacup and throw this lowly peasant girl out, but her reason told her not to do so.But she was not reconciled to accepting the tea so easily and acknowledging her status as the concubine...

She was so hesitant, but Dong Rong had been kneeling for quite a while holding the tea bowl.Murong Huaide endured and endured, seeing his wife's hands trembling, he stepped forward to take the tea bowl and put it directly on the tea table, and finally helped his wife up, and said lightly, "Mother and concubine, no matter what happened before, now Mrs. Dong is mine. Now that I am a concubine, and she still has my child in her belly, I hope that the concubine mother will treat her kindly. It doesn't matter if the concubine mother really doesn't like her, we will stay in Xuemeixuan for three to five days and then move back to another courtyard."

While talking, he saluted, turned around, helped his wife out and left.

Concubine Liu didn't expect her son to embarrass her like this, and it took a long while to recover from her anger.She was so annoyed that she smashed the tea bowl and said angrily, "I really have a good son, a good son!"

Liu Xiaozhen was afraid that her aunt would kick her cousin out immediately when she got angry, and all her plans would be in vain. She was about to say a few words of persuasion, but she saw a maid looking outside the door, so she went out to ask After a few words, he came in with a dark face and reported, "Madam, um...all the maids and servants who were assigned to Mei Xuexuan earlier have been kicked out. This..."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaozhen also turned pale with anger.Not to mention consoling my aunt, she wanted to jump up and curse crazily.

Not to mention how angry Princess Liu's aunt and nephew were, only that the young Murong Huaide and his wife returned to Xuemeixuan and saw that there were only a dozen people brought by their own family left in the yard, and they all smiled.

Dong Rong happily asked Zizhu to cook a bowl of red dates and corn porridge, and steam a basket of fresh meat buns.When she got up early, she was thinking about serving tea to her wicked mother-in-law, but she couldn't get used to the food bought from outside, so she just stuffed her stomach hastily.Now when I am in a good mood, I feel that my chest is stuck to my back, and I wish I could eat a cow.

Zizhu happily agreed, just as Yunrui and Wenniang bought fresh ingredients from outside, she hurriedly went to work with a smile on her face.

After waiting for the white and fat steamed buns to arrive on the table, Murong Huaide had to go to the study to write a letter to Mr. Feng after eating two.In the end, Guanshi Zhang came to report that the treasurer of the state capital near Kyoto had come to send congratulatory gifts.So he stayed and planned to play with his wife.

In the past two months, many shopkeepers were unable to figure out the orders passed down by the boss. In the spirit of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, the gifts they prepared were mostly precious things.But now that the master's background is known, and it's time for a big wedding, the mistress is even pregnant with two young masters, and the shopkeepers are almost crazy, looking for new things all over the world.

But the news spread a bit late, and it took time to search for good things. Gifts from all over the country rushed to Beijing, but it still didn't catch up with the day.The first person to rush to the palace was naturally the shopkeeper of Yuezhou who was the closest to the capital. He was a little bit annoyed that he came late, but he saw that the host and the mistress were all holding gifts in their hands to watch with great interest. See, he felt that the timing of the gift was just right.

I don't know if it's because the child in her stomach is more lively and active, these days Dong Rong can almost only see the child's things.Previously, her favorite clothing or jewelry, or even the novelty items brought back from overseas, were hard to attract her attention. On the contrary, those exquisitely embroidered clothes and shoes, and a few small animals made of pink pearls, She was so happy that she held it in her hand and looked at it again and again.

"Husband, look at this pearl puppy, how real it is! And this pair of tiger-toed shoes, they are so exquisite, our son must be very cute wearing them!"

Murong Huaide smiled and nodded, "If you like it, let them send more."

Dong Rong hesitated and asked, "Will it be too troublesome?"

Before Murong Huaide could respond, the chubby old shopkeeper rushed forward to salute and said, "As long as the lady likes it, it is the honor of this old slave, but I can't take trouble. Just give orders, the lady is the moon in the sky; The old slave also brought someone to set up a net to catch it and put it in the mother's house to illuminate it."

Dong Rong couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said was funny, and finally pulled her husband's sleeve and said, "Then I'll draw some clothes and let the shopkeeper take them home and find someone to sew them. I want to make them for my son." Two cow suits, and a tiger hat..."

"Okay, there's no rush for this matter. You draw slowly and let them do it slowly." Although Murong Huaide didn't know what a cow suit was, as long as his wife liked it, he would definitely agree.After he finished speaking, he looked at the old shopkeeper and asked, "Is the old shopkeeper from Yuezhou?"

The old shopkeeper heard that his master was able to tell his origin, and he quickly bowed and responded happily, "Back to the master, the old slave is from Yuezhou, and his humble name is Liu He."

Murong Huaide nodded, and said, "You have prepared this congratulatory gift very carefully. This year, the company made an exception, and I have an extra promise for you. You can talk to Zhang Yang later, and the company will definitely fulfill it for you."

"Thank you, Master, thank you!" Old Shopkeeper Liu was so happy that his legs trembled, he knelt down and kowtowed his head.Manager Zhang was afraid that he would quarrel with his master, so he quickly helped him to go outside to talk.

Dong Rong asked Wen Niang to collect the things she liked, and finally thought about it and said, "Should I also share some with the main courtyard?"
