Blessed

Chapter 23

When he left, Xie Che was still dressed lightly, but when he came back, he was wearing a jacket and a cloak, and it happened that the snow was falling, and his whole body was crackling.Mrs. Mu waited under the eaves of the main entrance of the mansion with Yuzhu'er in her arms. When she saw someone arriving, she immediately asked for help to bring the things into the mansion, and asked Licorice to change Xie Che into a new cloak.He lost weight, grew taller, and had a handsome face. When he saw Yuzhu's tense face when he was a child, he smiled. He greeted his wife and took Yuzhu'er from her hand.

Yuzhu'er was also thinking about Xie Che, and when she was taken over and hugged his neck tightly, she softly called out, "Brother Che, Jiaojiao misses you."

Xie Che was so soft in his heart that he wanted to kiss her tender cheeks, but remembering that he had only come back from the outside, he was afraid that she would be cold, so he stopped thinking and walked towards the mansion with Yuzhuer in his arms, "Ah Che also wants to kiss her softly." Jiao Jiao, how cute Jiao Jiao is at home these days?"

Yuzhu nodded, and told Xie Che what she had seen in the past few months. Xie Che felt more at ease when she saw that her words became clearer.

Xie Che brought back four baskets of jade stones of different colors from Qizhou, chicken blood stone, garnet, lapis lazuli, rhodochrosite, beeswax, amber, all kinds, colorful and very beautiful.Qizhou is rich in all kinds of jade, these are the cheapest, and they don't cost much money.

Making jewelry requires all kinds of gold, silver and copper objects. The Mu family has already prepared them, and the artisans have found them, and signed the deeds. It is not a contract of sale, but a variety of agreements that need to be kept secret. The jewelry is fresh, as shown in the picture. This is an exquisite design, if it is passed on, the business of the shop will definitely be affected.

Mrs. Mu also knows that these styles will be spread sooner or later, but he can still make a lot of money if he seizes the first opportunity.

In the next half month, Mu's family took the licorice out early and returned to the busy shop at night, and Yu Zhu'er was served by Bai Shao Bai Ji.

It will take at least a month for the first batch of jewelry to come out of the shop. Yuzhu is busy at home every day, eating, sleeping and sleeping, and Xie Che will come back after noon to teach her to read and write.

Yuzhu'er got up early this day, ate the wonton noodles left by licorice in the small kitchen, and there was a charcoal basin in the room, which was warm, so she fell asleep again, and she didn't get up until noon, so Bai Shao helped her put on her clothes. He put on a cloak, carried a small bamboo pole, held a heater and sat on the veranda outside the wing room to watch the plum blossoms.

Yes, all the wintersweet branches she let the white peony and bletilla striata insert survived, none of them died.It's strange to say that the winter plums in the Duke's Mansion are carefully cared for every year, and one or two will die every year. The cuttings here can survive even if they are watered. Could it be that the yard is full of spirit?

Baiji was sitting next to Yuzhuer embroidering a purse, looking at the wintersweet branches and couldn't help nagging, "Girl, all our wintersweets have survived, maybe next year the girl will be able to hold a flower viewing party in the courtyard."

Yuzhu'er was teased by her and laughed straight, she didn't go out these days, and she heard a lot of things outside the mansion from Baiji, all about her, no one outside said she was stupid, they all said that she was late As soon as she was enlightened, there were amazing talents. I heard that several families came to her door to make baby marriages for her, but they were all dismissed by Mrs. Mu with a smile, and Mrs. Mu's face was stiff for a few days.

It was getting colder and colder this day, Yuzhu'er couldn't sit still after staying outside for a while, and staggered into the house with the stove in her hand.

It was cold and cold, and I was sleepy on the couch all day, and the days passed very quickly. It was the end of the year, and the first batch of jewelry was finally rushed out. Embarrassment, the mansion is really miserable now, almost everyone who can be pawned is pawned, or a thin camel is bigger than a horse, after all, it has been brilliant, and it has survived these years relying on pawns.

Yuzhuer also specially asked Mrs. Mu for four pieces of jewellery. These four pieces of jewellery, a beeswax beaded silver hairpin, gold thread twisted into a peach blossom shape, inlaid with broken jade stones, and a polished and round honey hairpin in the middle. Wax jade ball.

There are also gold thread garnet budao, butterfly hairpin, and gold inlaid emerald pick hairpin, all of which are exquisite and beautiful. She plans to give these three to her three sisters, and the beeswax stone hanging beaded silver hairpin to the little princess. One is that I really want to give the little princess a gift, and the other is that I can help the shop to promote it. Look, even the little princess brings jewelry from our shop.

Just two days ago, the little princess posted a post to come to the mansion, inviting Yuzhuer to go to the Duke's mansion to play, and the mansion doesn't need her to help prepare for the New Year's affairs, just eat, drink and have fun, the old lady learned that the little princess invited her, let people Get off the carriage, and take the two servant girls, Bai Shao and Bai Ji, to the Duke's Mansion.

Yulan still wanted to go with her, but Tao refused to allow it. The post of the little princess clearly stated that she only invited Yuzhuer to play, and she was eager to follow her.

Yuzhu'er is wearing a begonia-colored embroidered jacket skirt and a moon-white embroidered plum blossom cloak. Her cheeks are as white as jade and fleshy, which makes one's heart soften a little.

I don't want to be coincidental, I heard the gatekeeper's mother-in-law nagging that the little princess is sick again, saying that the little princess has not been around since she was born, and the princess mother is not around, and she is very noisy every day and night. The nanny doesn't drink much milk, and she was thin when she was young Like cats, they thought they were not going to survive, and when they finally grew up, they were also plagued by disasters and illnesses. The last illness in a month was considered rare.

Yuzhu'er felt pain in her heart when she heard this, and she couldn't help but think about what happened in her previous life. She killed her parents and lived in a relative's house for a few days. Seeing her uncle and aunt loving her cousins, she watched eagerly and missed her mother very much. , but she has a family who loves her in this life, and the regrets in her heart can be made up for.

The little princess is really pitiful, Yuzhu'er walked away quickly because of her soft heart, wanting to comfort others.

When they arrived at the courtyard of the small princess, the mother-in-law retreated, and Yuzhu looked at the dozen or so maidservants kneeling in the verandah, hesitating whether to go or not.A maidservant in a light blue jacket and skirt at the head saw her, with a happy expression on her face, and hurried over to bless her, "Fourth Miss, hurry up and go in, the little Princess is still waiting for you."

Yu Zhu'er walked in with her, "Isn't the little princess sick?"

The servant girl nodded, "Yesterday, the little princess made a fuss about going out to watch the snow scene, and then fell ill after returning to the house after a while, and the prince even lost his temper."

Yuzhu'er thought to herself, no wonder there was a whole yard kneeling outside.As the maid entered the room, Bai Shao Bai Ji was waiting outside, and as soon as Yu Zhu'er entered, she heard the little princess lose her temper again, "I just don't drink it, this medicine is so bitter, I don't want to drink it."

"Drink it!" Shen Shizi's cold voice was completely different from that day.

The little princess broke down and cried, "I just don't drink, bad brother, I want a mother, I want a princess mother, woo woo woo..."

Yu Zhu'er was worried when she heard this, and walked in quickly, her feet rarely touch the ground these days, as soon as she walked fast, her two little feet tripped together, almost fell, and she staggered to stabilize, she was so worried, I feel that this is not good for milk dolls. There are only so many body functions, and it is impossible to be stable.

She staggered out of the screen and just showed her face in front of Shen Shizi and the little princess. The little princess stopped crying and looked at her with tears hanging down, "Yuzhuer..."

Shen Xian looked down at the white jade doll on the ground with serious eyes, then turned his head and handed a bowl of dark soup to the little Princess, "Drink it up."

The little princess came back to her senses, seeing the mist gathering in her eyes, she was about to cry again, Yu Zhu'er hurriedly said, "Little princess, I brought something nice for you."

"What is it?" The little princess stopped crying and turned to look at her, "Show me."

Yuzhu held the wooden box and came to the imperial concubine's bed, not afraid that the princess would get angry with him, so she opened the wooden box next to the little princess, revealing the contents, "Here, this is the first jewelry made by my shop. , specially found for you. And this can of fruit, I specially begged licorice to make it for you to eat."

As soon as the white porcelain jar in the wooden box was opened, you could smell the fragrance of jujube. The little princess wiped away her tears, crawled over to Yuzhu'er, and looked down at the jujube in the jar, "Ah, this jujube is so fresh Strange, why is there something white wrapped in it, Yuzhuer, what kind of food is this?"

Yuzhu smiled triumphantly, "This is called glutinous rice and red dates." She specially came up with a new food, the little princess loves sweets and dates, so she begged Licorice to help make it, and Licorice even laughed at her, "Girl, this date There is glutinous rice flour in it, is it delicious?"

"Can it be delicious?" The little princess also muttered.

Yuzhu'er just laughed, "Why don't we wait for the little princess to drink the medicine, let's taste it together, I haven't eaten it yet, the inside is glutinous rice flour, knead it well, dig out the date core and stuff it into the date Steam it in a wok, wrap it in a layer of syrup and let it cool down, and once it’s done, let someone pack it up and eat it with the Princess.” Two months later, she spoke quite smoothly.

The little princess was very moved, and without waiting for Shen Shizi to say anything, she took the porcelain bowl of plum blossoms in his hand, and Gu Lulu drank the concoction inside in one gulp, put the empty bowl back into Shen Xian's hand, and picked up a plug In the mouth, there is a layer of sweetness on the outside, and the syrup is crunchy. When you bite into it, you will find the sweetness of jujube, the fragrance of glutinous rice flour, and the delicious tongue can be swallowed. Ya, try one quickly."

After finishing speaking, she saw Yu Zhu'er was still standing under the imperial concubine's couch, which was a bit high, she only showed her head, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and take off your boots and sit up and eat with me."

Shen Xian held the porcelain bowl and looked at the two jade dolls expressionlessly.

Yuzhu'er squatted down as she said, and hadn't taken off her rabbit-fur boots with great effort, when someone picked up the back of her neck suddenly, and she was suspended in the air, and then she was placed on the imperial concubine's couch and sat down again. She saw Shen Shizi slightly Bend down and take off her boots! ! !
