Blessed

Chapter 59
Yuzhu knew a little about the situation in the Duke's Mansion, Bai Ji was a very capable girl, she became acquainted with the maids in the mansion as soon as she came to the Duke's Mansion, and heard a lot of private things related to Princess Jiahe.It is said that Princess Jiahe was not sick and went to the Zhuangzi to recuperate, but she just didn't want to see the Duke's mansion. She had no feelings for the Duke of the State, nor the two children. When she was in the mansion, she never took care of things. Throw it to the mothers and nurses to keep them, and chant scriptures and worship Buddha all day long.

Yuzhu also knows that if a mother loves her children, she will never leave them thousands of miles away and ignore them, so there is only one possibility, Princess Jiahe really has no feelings for this Duke's mansion, for the Crown Princess.

What a cold-blooded person.

Turning her head, she could see the radiant joy on Shen Mei's face, Yuzhu didn't want to break her joy, but she didn't talk to her.Shen Mei talked on her own for a while, and then brought up the matter of Shen Shizi checking her homework, just like a small chatter.

The two of them fed the rabbits and left them to run around in the yard. These two were very clean. After eating and drinking enough, they chose a marble floor and laid their heads on it to bask in the rare sun.

Entering the wing room, Shen Mei took out the letter that Shen Xian wrote to her and complained to Yu Zhu, "Look at it, it's just urging me to read my homework."

Yuzhu glanced over, and Shen Xianren was a little indifferent, and he could peep a little in the letters to her and Shen Mei. The letters he wrote to Shen Mei were always only a few sentences, how about in the mansion, how to be obedient, how about homework, Attach homework even.After more than two years, Shen Mei didn't even bother to let him go back.

What Yuzhu can say is to persuade Shen Mei, "Your elder brother is worried about you, be good, just send him your homework, and I will practice calligraphy with you for half an hour, no matter what, you are the princess, right? It’s nothing to be a female celebrity, but the handwriting should be written more beautifully.”

"Okay..." Shen Mei sighed, "I'll listen to you, and I'll practice calligraphy in a while." She was two years older than Yuzhu, but she relied on Yuzhu like an older sister.

After practicing calligraphy for half an hour, Shen Mei breathed a sigh of relief, "It can be regarded as relaxing for a while, hey, I want to go and see Shen Lin, Yuzhu, do you want to go with me?"

Yuzhu is not very willing. Shen Lin is the baby pimple that Aunt Liu finally conceived last time. It was the time when the Duke came back to take away the son more than two years ago. The child was only one and a half years old. At that time, it was impossible to be treasured by Aunt Liu on weekdays.

Shen Mei seldom goes out of the mansion, and there is nothing to do in the Duke's mansion. Occasionally, she goes to Aunt Liu's side and sees Shen Lin. The chubby boy is still very cute.

To be honest, Yuzhu is not willing to go over such a precious bump, and if she accidentally bumps into it, she will blame them.

Shen Mei insisted on going, and Yuzhu accompanied her. Madam Liu welcomed her in with a smile, and carried Brother Lin out, "Look, Brother Lin, your second sister is here."

"Brother Lin, call me Second Sister." Shen Mei likes this chubby little guy very much.

"Second Sister." The little guy is quite smart, his parents, sister, and brother all yelled very clearly. This child looks somewhat similar to the Duke of Zhen. If the Duke sees it, he will love him very much. of.

Shen Xian's appearance should be more similar to that of Princess Jiahe, only the outlines of some Dukes can be vaguely seen.

Brother Lin was a bit fat, but Shen Mei wouldn't make a fuss to hug him. After talking with him for a while, the little guy fell asleep, and the two of them left.

At Shen Shi Yuzhu left the Duke's Mansion, went back and passed Zhuyu Pavilion, went in and took a look, the shopkeeper was a slave who bought a body in the mansion, and could settle accounts, Yuzhu specially put it in the shop as the shopkeeper, she gave generous conditions, the shopkeeper Also try my best.

Yuzhu has her own way of calculating accounts. The store's expenses and income are clearly listed every month, and the account will be reconciled at the end of the month. As long as the things that enter the store are paid in taels, even if it is the masters like them, it is the same. .There are craftsmen in the mansion every month who give them jewelry to add to their makeup boxes, and there is no need to take jewelry out of the shop.

The shopkeeper remembered this clearly.

After looking at the accounts at the shop for a while, there was nothing wrong with it, so Yuzhu set off for home. It happened to be dinner, and the family sat down to eat together. Jiang Ansu said to Xie Che and Jiang Jin, "You don't need to pay too much attention, everything is up to fate, There are very few teenagers who can pass the exam, the pressure is not too great, they are still young, and the road ahead will be long."

Xie Che said, "Disciple, save it."

Jiang Jin also said, "My son will save me."

"You guys eat more mutton soup. It's the best to eat in this weather. It can also soothe the nerves. If you can go to high school, there will be Chunshang and Chunwei. These recipes can't be stopped." Mu's love for the two children, even now After Qiu Wei, the kitchen will make them a meal every day to nourish the brain, soothe the nerves and nourish qi and blood, Shenqi Bunao Soup, Hema Pig Brain Soup, Stir-fried Gingko with Celery and Lily, Angelica Shenqi Mutton Soup, Kidney Qi Soup, Stewed wine-flavored fish head, walnut syrup... I have never tried it again.And she is still sure about the two children, thinking they can go to high school.

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Thank you mother."

"Mother, I want to eat too." Jiang Po also acted like a baby to Mrs. Mu with a white marble bowl.

Mrs. Mu sneered, "You still have the face! Jiang Po, let me tell you, your monthly money for this month is gone!"

Even the gentle and virtuous Mu family sneered and deducted Jiang Po's monthly money, which shows what an outrageous thing this child has done.

But, today, someone suggested that the doctor came to Jiang's mansion in person to sue Jiang Po for beating his son-in-law, and even brought the child to the door. The child's nose was bruised and his face was swollen from Jiang Po's beating, which was really ugly.The Jiang family made amends and paid money.Jiang Po was also punished by Jiang Ansu to kneel in the ancestral hall, and now she was released for dinner, and had to kneel for another hour after eating, not only today, but every day after class, she had to go to the ancestral hall to kneel.

Jiang Po couldn't help defending herself at this moment, "Mom, I hit those who should be beaten. Do you know what his son did? He molested other little girls on the street, this dirty little girl Bastard, but it's bad and flowing water!"

"Who are you scolding, you little bastard!" Jiang Ansu's gentle people were angered, "No matter how much he taught him, how dare you go up and beat someone! Go, let me kneel in the ancestral hall, and have dinner Don't eat it either!"

"He's the only legitimate son in their family, so his father is reluctant to beat him up." Jiang Po was still defending, "Dad, I did a good deed, why do you still scold me, that little girl's family didn't pay back on purpose." Did you come to thank me?"

Jiang Ansu was extremely angry with this poor child, he knew that this child was not bad in nature, but he didn't have a brain at all when he did things, how many times, some officials have intervened with him!Fortunately, the emperor didn't care about it, and said, "There are a lot of children fighting in the world, and even the most trivial things come to me to take care of them. You have nothing to do, right? Have you figured out how to solve the banditry in Fenghao's area?" ? Qishan in Jingzhou suffers from floods every year, do you have any solution? Have you settled the old account of the Ministry of Households? Since you are so free, hurry up and think of a way, don't watch the two children fight!"

Fortunately, no one dared to participate in Jiang Po again in the future. No one really wanted to face the anger of the Holy One and look at them like they were fools.

Even so, Jiang Ansu was also frightened, and wanted to restrain the child even more. "You go to the ancestral hall and kneel!"

Jiang Po snorted, dropped the bowl and chopsticks and ran out.

Yuzhu is helpless, Sixth Brother is not a bad boy, he has a good heart, and most of the things he provokes are to get ahead of others, and there are many people who take advantage of his bloodiness to deliberately lead him to beat up good people, and such things have indeed happened, parents have said Many times, he just didn't change, and was prone to impulsiveness. Yuzhu tried to persuade him several times, but he was stubborn.

Yuzhu thinks that it is impossible for a family to live in harmony forever, and there will always be some small problems. Her sixth brother, second uncle of the second room, and fourth sister Jiang Yulan are all these small problems, which need to be corrected slowly.

Waiting for the meal to go back to their rooms, Yuzhu secretly ran to the kitchen to ask the cook for two pork pies, wrapped them up and sneaked into the ancestral hall. Seeing the sixth brother kneeling there dejectedly under the dim candlelight, she whispered Said, "Sixth Brother..."

Jiang Po turned her head, brows brimming with joy, she couldn't hide her smile, "Jiao Jiao, did you bring me something delicious?"

Yuzhu took out the pancake wrapped in oil paper and handed it over, "Here, the pork pie, I asked the cook to make it for you. It's delicious." This is the consensus reached by the two. In the ancestral hall, Yuzhu would secretly bring him food. Sixth Brother was very kind to her, so she was reluctant to let Sixth Brother go hungry. Besides, when he was still growing, he would not grow taller if he was hungry.

She was wearing a plush cloak with red trimmed plum blossoms and dark patterns, squatting next to Brother Six to watch him gobble up, and persuaded, "Brother Six, don't make your parents unhappy, it's a good thing you saved that girl, then It’s a great thing, but, you can’t go straight up, you have to know how to make a roundabout, and the things you do are praised by everyone, instead of good things turning into bad things.”

Jiang Po swallowed the pancake in his mouth, and asked Yuzhu, "Jiaojiao tell Sixth Brother, how can we get around it?"

Yuzhu said, "This is also simple. When you see such a thing, don't go up and beat him first, but ask him. Your father is an admonishing doctor on the fifth rank. He specializes in discussions and the world's opinions. Righteousness, honesty, honesty, integrity... In short, it is to praise his father so vigorously that he will be ashamed to flirt with the little girl again. Isn't this matter resolved? It should be resolved peacefully so that he will not hold grudges against you and that girl."

Seeing Jiang Po's pensive look, she continued, "You beat him up today, and you lost so much face, I dare say that he not only remembered you, but even that girl .Our family has the uncle's house as a backer, but what about that girl? Brother Six, have you thought about it? If he secretly tricks that girl, what will Brother Six do?"

Jiang Po couldn't even eat the pancakes anymore, and looked at Yuzhu in confusion, "Didn't I do something wrong?"

"Not really." Yuzhu said, "Brother Liu has a good intention, but it's not the right way, you have to remember it next time."

Jiang Po complied, not knowing if she remembered, Yuzhu accompanied him to eat the last pancake before slipping back to the room.

The maidservants who served her personally knew what the master was doing, so they didn't ask much, they helped her to wash up and go to bed. Today, the licorice vigil is held, and she sleeps on the footrest with the quilt in her arms.

The weather is getting colder, and after two or three days it will be the day when the list is released, so the uncle's mansion sent a servant to guard the list early in the morning.

Yuzhu also wanted to go, but was stopped by her brothers and parents. It was too cold outside, and it was not good for a girl's house to blow too much wind.

Yuzhu couldn't go, so she sat in the main room and waited, a little anxiously waiting, and went to the door from time to time, not only her, but also the Jiang family.

Just when she was worried, Zheng Xiuxiu was supported by the maid to open the curtain and walked in. When Yuzhu saw her sister-in-law, the anxiety in her heart was relieved a lot, and she stepped forward to help her, "Sister-in-law, you are here, sit down quickly .”

After the eldest sister-in-law became pregnant, her fetus was unstable, and her eldest aunt rarely let her out and walk around, and she started to walk around the mansion again when she was older.

Zheng Xiuxiu sat on the round chair, reached out and pinched the delicate cheeks of my sister-in-law, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen Jiao Jiao for a long time, I miss it."

Yuzhu was also coquettish, "Jiaojiao also misses sister-in-law, when will sister-in-law give Jiaojiao a little nephew?"

The big guys are cute to hear these words, and the old lady of Xi and Mrs. Lin couldn't get along from ear to ear.

The whole family gathered in the main room, even Aunt Hong and Brother Yulan came over. Brother Zhu also turned fifteen this year. Last time he took the imperial examination together with Brother Heng and failed.This year, Aunt Hong asked him to continue to participate, but he refused. Aunt Hong cried and forced him. As a result, he ran away on the first day of the imperial examination and didn't come back until after the end, making Aunt Hong very angry. Just get better.

Yuzhu didn't know much about this third elder brother who was a concubine from the second house, and she always felt that he was a bit gloomy, but his temper was unambiguous, and he didn't like being persecuted by others. When Aunt Hong forced him, he made such protests.At this moment, he just sat quietly in the corner, without making a sound, only Aunt Hong's eyes fell on him from time to time, with a hint of sadness.

While chatting and laughing, the servants cheered outside, "Old lady, old man, lords and ladies, hit, hit!"

The whole family rushed to the yard, and seeing the young boy's ecstatic appearance, the old lady asked anxiously, "Which brother is the one who got the shot?"

The little servant smiled, "Back to the old lady, both brothers are in high school! Brother Che knows Yuan, and brother Jin won the second place. I'm afraid there will be an official from the yamen to announce the good news. It's a great joy." Well, the old lady and the old man don't know, the slave just saw the names of the two brothers on the list, and almost fainted from joy."

As soon as these words came out, there was a buzzing in everyone's minds. The old lady's body softened and she almost fell. She was supported by Wang Momo and Xing'er. Wang Momo burst into tears of joy, "The old lady must take care , This is a great happy event, counting one family, three Juren and two Jieyuan, what an honor it must be..."

Yuzhu felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she was so excited. She also knew what this meant. It is the first family to produce three candidates, two of whom are Jie Yuan. It is self-evident what this means. If Brother Xie and Brother Xie can go to the imperial examination and rank among the top three Jinshi in the middle school, they will be in the Jiang family for decades to come. I am afraid that no one can match the glory.

Mu Clan cried with joy, Jiang Ansu could also see that he was very excited, his hands were shaking.

The aunts and aunts also showed their sincere joy and congratulated repeatedly.

The old man couldn't help laughing, "It's time to set up a floating banquet for three days and three nights."

"You old man." The old lady finally regained her strength, "This is not allowed, the wealth is not revealed, besides, our uncle's house has produced two Jieyuan out of three Juren, what an honor, outsiders may be jealous If you set up a running banquet for three days and three nights, you should be criticized again, so I invited relatives and friends over to have the banquet, and wait for the children to pass the spring and take the palace exam."

Jiang Ansu also said, "Father, what mother said is right, it's good to invite the in-laws over to get together, and it's time to draw up the list in a while and get ready."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Okay, it's all up to you, the two children are also tired, so it's time to relax."

The whole family is happy, only Aunt Hong wants to cry again, why not his son's high school?

The wives and gentlemen discussed and drew up a list of banquets quickly, and the Duke's Mansion was indispensable. Others only invited in-laws and close friends, and there were three or four tables.

The life in the mansion has become richer, and new cooks have been replaced long ago. The cooks are very skilled, no worse than those in Zuixianlou.

The news of this happy event in the capital shocked the entire capital. No one thought that the Jiang family would have such a chance. In this way, the emperor would probably pay more attention to the Jiang family.

Shen Mei was overjoyed when she heard about this. Just a few days ago, the government bought four bear paws from Orion, so she ran to Mrs. Liu to ask for them, "Auntie, Brother Xie from Yuzhu's family knows about Brother Yuanjin. I also got the second place, which is a big deal, and I sent a post to our mansion, I thought about sending the four bear paws I bought a while ago as a gift, what does Auntie think?"

She feels like a ghost!Mrs. Liu was so angry that she couldn't show it, she twisted her handkerchief and smiled, "Princess, these bear's paws are rare, I gave two to my natal family, and I want to make up for you and the children with the remaining two." What about your body." Bear's paws are very rare at this time of year, even if you have money, you can't buy them, this damn girl is willing to give away everything, she is really a prodigal.

Shen Mei exposed her without hesitation, "Don't worry, Auntie, the two bear paws haven't been sent out yet. I just went to the kitchen to ask, and the person in charge said they were still there. Since they haven't been sent out, I'll get someone to give it to Boss first." Send it over to the house, my aunt really wants to eat it, I asked Xiao Feng and Xiao Li to hunt one back for you, they are not only good at martial arts, but also good at hunting."

Xiao Feng and Xiao Li are the guards Shen Xian left for her, and they are very capable.

What else can Mrs. Liu say, really going to grab four bear's paws with a child?She smiled and said, "Since it hasn't been sent out yet, the princess can just take it as a gift." And she doesn't want to talk about this kind of thing, after all, the little county lord treats the princess very well. It is also very good, but if there is any fresh food at home, half of it will be sent to the Duke's Mansion. A few months ago, the uncle's mansion just bought a farm cow that accidentally fell down the mountain. This thing is also rare, so I sent it to the Duke's Mansion immediately Half come.

Shen Meimei thanked her with a smile.
