Blessed

Chapter 86
Yulan has been silent all this time. She has lived a comfortable life in the past few years. Her brother has his own private property and is very generous to her and his aunt.Two years after Yuzhu went to the Imperial Temple, her second sister also got married, and she was the only girl left in the family in this generation, and her family favored her.

It seems that the horizons are broadened. The girls who know that they are looking for aristocratic families after making friends also have some prejudice against the merchants because of the bracelet, and their words will reveal their disdain for them.

She is planning to go to a banquet today, and she specially wears a newly made spring shirt, a crescent-colored neckline embroidered with willow leaves and plain white trousers, lotus-colored lotus flowers, and shoes embroidered with flowers and butterflies.Her facial features are delicate and charming, which is more suitable for this kind of elegant and chic dress, which makes her look even more pitiful.

Jiang Yulan knew that her fourth sister was good-looking when she was a child, but when she was a girl, everyone said that she was good-looking when she was young, but she grew up to be average. She hadn't seen each other for five years after Yuzhu left. There are no maids, so even a delicate beauty will be squandered without any color left.

How did she know that Yuzhu came home suddenly, she didn't even have any preparations, the moment she saw someone again, she didn't know what it was like, she didn't know that there were people wearing plain clothes and wooden hairpins who were still beautiful and charming, she felt a little jealous in her heart No matter how much you want to admit it, the fourth sister's face is probably unmatched, without a single blemish, just like an egg that has been peeled off its shell, smooth and tender.

In contrast to herself, her specially dressed attire is not as good as that of the fourth sister. Yulan felt uncomfortable, she huddled in a corner and did not speak, listening to Yuzhu continue, "Grandfather, grandmother, mother, I have not been around these few years, I can't be filial, I think I will spend more time with everyone in the past few years."

The old lady said cheerfully, "You child, we know you have such a heart, but you are almost fifteen, and you are going to talk about marriage. After talking about marriage, you will be married after a year and a half. Our Yuzhu is also a big girl." girl."

Yuzhu acted like a baby, "Grandmother, Jiaojiao doesn't marry, she wants to stay with you for a few more years." She thinks it's too young to get married at twenty, and the times are different, so she can't force it, anyway, let's talk about it after turning eighteen.

"Fine, fine, it's all up to you." Mrs. Mu agreed with a smile.In fact, the Mu family is also selfish. Her daughter has not been with her for five years. She has been thinking about it, and she doesn't want her to marry at a young age. It is not good for a girl's family to marry and have children. She wants to wait two or three years. Yuzhu is seventeen or eighteen, and it's not too late to talk about kissing.

Both Lin's and Tao's also smiled and said, "That's right, stay at home for a few more years." Both of them are smart people, and they knew what Mu's thinking, so they followed suit.

The old lady also understands, so naturally she won't stop her, since she is the granddaughter of her direct relative, so it doesn't matter if she stays for a few more years.

Talking and laughing in the main room, the old lady told Xing'er next to her, "Go to the kitchen and tell me to make more dishes that Yuzhu likes to eat. A few days ago, the warehouse bought a lot of bird's nest and shark's fin for storage, and stewed duck with bird's nest and winter bamboo shoots." Hot pot, chicken with shark's fin, wild mushroom and wild pigeon soup, Longjing shrimp, roasted venison, stir-fry a few more dishes, and make sea cucumber porridge." The old lady also really felt sorry for her granddaughter's dull five years on the mountain.

Xing'er agreed and backed away. Xing'er was the old lady's maidservant, she also got married a few years ago, followed the steward of the mansion, and just gave birth to a fat boy two years ago.

Mrs. Mu looked at her daughter, feeling sore, "Jiao Jiao eat more, she has lost weight."

Yuzhu held Mrs. Mu's hand, "Mother, I'm a jerk. I've lost weight. I can't be as chubby as I was when I was a child."

Furthermore, when she was on the mountain, the concubine was very kind to her. She cooked meat dishes several times a month and opened a small stove for her, saying, "You little girl's family is not a Buddhist or Taoist family, but she just came to the mountain." Accompany me as an old lady, you don’t have to behave like us, we don’t like meaty food, you’ll be fine if you eat some.”

It can be seen that the concubine really loves her, and she can't bear her taboo.

Speaking of this, the second sister-in-law Sun couldn't help worrying, and touched her fat boy, "Ji Geer also likes to eat, look at how fat he looks, I am really worried." Ji Geer looked eagerly Looking at the cakes on the table, when his mother talked about him, he shyly hid in his mother's arms.Mrs. Sun sighed again, "I don't know who my temperament has followed, just like a girl, when his father sees him, he wants to talk about him."

The Jiang family is all well-off, Ji Geer has very regular facial features, red lips and white teeth, but there is some meat, carved out of the same mold as Jiang Heng.Yuzhu liked this little guy very much, and said with a smile, "I wasn't like this when I was a child. I only had a stroke when I was six years old. Don't worry, my second sister-in-law. Ji Geer is young, and it will be good to start growing up tomorrow or the next year."

The old lady also said, "That's right, there are no fat people in the Jiang family." The old man looked at his great-grandson with distress, "If he wants to eat, he will give him a piece. See if his younger brothers are eating, how can he bear it?"

Mrs. Sun had no choice but to bring a piece of pastry to Brother Ji. The little guy happily took it and said thank you. He sat on the little stick and ate it, with a lot of pastry crumbs on his mouth.

Seeing Yuzhu's heart softened.

After talking for a while, the old lady spoke, "Yuzhu has worked hard all this way, so hurry back to Fuyun Courtyard to wash up and rest, it's time for lunch later."

People from all houses and courtyards all went back, and Mrs. Mu held Yuzhu's hand all the way and refused to let go, saying all the way, "I need to eat more later, look at how thin you are, the small kitchen has all kinds of ingredients, let licorice every day Let me make soup for you, and I will definitely grow some meat back in a short time."

Many mothers are like this. When they see their children, they only notice their fatness and thinness, and nothing else in their eyes. This is a kind of maternal love.

Yuzhu didn't speak now, but hummed quietly, she could feel her mother's love for her.Along the way, Mrs. Mu chatted with Yuzhu about other things. Yuzhu could feel peace and gentleness in her heart just listening to it.

Back in the wing room of Fuyun Courtyard, the maids carried water into the room to help her freshen up. For five years, licorice, bletilla striata, and white peony would occasionally go up the mountain with Mu to visit Xia Yuzhu, but the last time they met was a year ago , They also miss their girls a little bit.

Yuzhu's usual maids were the three of them, who had already been promoted to first-class maids, and there were quite a few second- and third-class maids, but none of them stayed close to her to serve her.

The tub was filled with warm water, and Yu Zhu took off her half-worn plain girdle and clothes, revealing a body as white as jade, with slender and beautiful shoulder blades, and a waist full of grip, she was still a girl, so her whole body looked like a girl Somewhat slender.Licorice took a look and couldn't help but blush. The girl was a little girl when she left, but now she is a big girl, her body is as white and moist as jade.

After Yuzhu finished washing and washing, Baiji prepared a lake-colored vase dress with flowers and a goose-yellow skirt sprinkled with flowers and smoke. Yuzhu took a look and asked, "Is the color too prominent?"

Staying in the mountains wears plain clothes all the year round, and I haven’t worn such brightly colored clothes for a long time.

Bai Shao leaned over and took a look, "Girl, this color is just right, it's not gaudy at all, girl must look good in it."

Yuzhu put it on and tried it on, and it made her look even brighter, but she felt a little too gorgeous, so she couldn't help touching her face in front of the bronze mirror.

Bai Shao couldn't help muttering, "Girl, you're so pretty." There is no one more beautiful than her girl.

Finally back home, Yuzhu didn't feel sleepy after grooming like this, but was a little excited. She turned around and asked a few maidservants, "Where is Meow'er Baoer?" She still remembered the two big rabbits, two of which she raised since she was a child. pets.

The lifespan of a rabbit is ten to fifteen years, and some of them can live to eighteen or nineteen years if they are taken care of well.Yuzhu raised this pair of rabbits when she was four years old, and they have been raising them for almost ten years now.

Licorice smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, the two of them are fine, it's just that they didn't get used to it when the girl left, and they didn't eat or drink for several days."

Led Yuzhu to see the two rabbits, originally they were still sleeping in the nest, when they saw Yuzhu, the two raised their heads, and suddenly stopped moving, after a while, they strung together violently, jumping up and down in the cage .

Surprised by the maidservants, Bai Shao said, "They recognized the girl, they haven't seen her for five years, and they still remember her, they are really spiritual."

Yuzhu opened the cage, and the two jumped out, scrambling to jump on Yuzhu's body, which made Yuzhu laugh, and then hugged the two rabbits in her arms, which was really difficult. These two rabbits are no smaller than adult cats.

In Yuzhu's absence, the servants of the mansion did not dare to neglect the two rabbits. They took good care of them, bathed them every few days, cleaned the cages they lived in every day, and changed their nests every two or three days. There is no peculiar smell on the body.

After staying with the two rabbits for a while, Yuzhu went back to the room, and the two rabbits still insisted on following them, barking vigorously as soon as they were put in the cage.

Yuzhu relented, "Okay, let them come out for a walk." When she didn't leave home, they were basically free range.

That's good, the two rabbits followed Yuzhu closely, and they refused to move anywhere, even when they went to the main courtyard for lunch, they insisted on following, which made the old lady laugh, "No I have seen such a smart rabbit, look, Yuzhu stayed on the mountain for five years, and they still remember it." She became more and more sure that Yuzhu of their family is really a very blessed person.

Ji Geer hid behind Sun and looked at the two rabbits curiously. Even the two-year-old Ran Geer was crying like a rabbit in the nurse's arms.

Ji Geer asked Sun carefully, "Mom, can I play with them?"

Sun smiled and said, "Of course."

Ji Ge'er played with the rabbits obediently, but Ge'er also asked for it, and Mrs. Lu asked the wet nurse to hug him and play with Ji Ge'er and the others.

After lunch, all the rooms were ready to go back. Brother Ji sneaked up to Yuzhu, tugged at her sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Little aunt, can I often go and play with them?"

Yuzhu pinched Ji Geer's cheek, "Of course, if Ji Geer wants to come and play with Miao'er Baoer in the future, just let the wet nurse bring her over."

Ji Geer thanked happily.

Back at Fuyun Courtyard, Yuzhu was a little tired, so she washed her hands and face and lay down on the couch to rest for a while.

There are a lot of things to do when I come back, Yuzhu is not in a hurry, let's rest first and then talk.As soon as she woke up, it was the end of the hour, and she opened her eyes. Yuzhu straightened her head to a moon-white silver thread with dark patterns, and above that was a handsome man's face, like a crown jade. With familiar facial features, Yuzhu murmured , "Brother Che."

Xie Che's dark eyes looked at her gently, "Jiaojiao." He reached out his hand to put the hair on her forehead behind her ears for Yuzhu, and looked at her crooked eyebrows and creamy skin.

Yuzhu sat up, and the licorice at the side took the sash and put it on her. Yuzhu looked at Xie Che, with a blush on her cheeks that had just woken up, "Brother Che, long time no see."

She knew that he was young and accomplished, very remarkable, very much favored by the emperor, he was a young minister of officials, and he was also very prestigious among the courtiers.

Xie Che looked at her with a smile, "Yes, long time no see, I miss Jiao Jiao very much, does Jiao Jiao miss me?"

"Of course I miss Brother Che and Fourth Brother."

Yuzhu sat on the edge of the couch, pulled on her embroidered shoes, "By the way, where are the fourth brother and the others?"

Xie Che squatted on the ground to help her put on the embroidered shoes, "Ah Jin still has some work to do, so he won't be back until a day or two later. Ah Xun went to the north these days, and Apo probably hasn't come back after going out to play."

Ah Xun is the fifth elder brother, who is not interested in studying. He has not participated in the imperial examination for these few years. Instead, he ran around the country. As for the sixth elder brother Jiang Po, he is still the same as when he was a child. The domineering descendant of the aristocratic family took action, except that he was a bit wild, but he was very kind, he helped many people, and he had a good heart.

Because of this temperament, he even got a few words of praise from the emperor, saying that he has a rare heart of innocence.

"Brother Che, I'll do it myself." Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed and moved her feet.But Xie Che held her feet and pulled the embroidered shoes on for her, then got up and laughed at her, "You often slept with me when you were young, but you forgot? I will help you get dressed and shoes."

It was true before the age of five, sometimes when Mrs. Mu was busy, Xie Che would take her to take a nap together, and even helped the little girl put on her clothes and shoes when she woke up.

Licorice wanted to say that the girl is getting older, she has wet lips, and dares to speak.

Yuzhu laughed, "Brother Che also knew that he would be young, but now Jiaojiao has grown up."

"Yes, our Jiaojiao has grown up and is a big girl."

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and Xie Che accompanied Yuzhu to dinner in the room.

The dinner was served at Fuyun Courtyard. Jiang Ansu also came back from the Yamen with the third-bedroom people. He was also a little excited when he saw Jiao Jiao. Maybe a father is not very good at expressing emotions. He only said with slightly red eyes. , "It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

Jiang Posi, the sixth son of the Jiang family, ran back while the big guys were eating. Xing, a 19-year-old boy, hurried in and pulled a stool to sit in front of the table. come over."

Jiang Ansu's face darkened, "Jiang Po, what time is it now, I don't know how to call when I go home, and I don't have any rules."

When Jiang Po grew up, she was not so afraid of her father. On the contrary, she smiled and said, "Father, I know, don't keep talking about me, you might as well talk about fourth brother, he is not married yet, he is not young anymore."

But no, Jiang Jin is also in her twenties, and she hasn't even talked about her marriage yet.Mrs. Mu was very worried about these boys, they were not too young, but none of them got married, only Jiang Xun and Jiang Po got married, and Jiang Jin's got married.

"Brother Six." Yuzhu knew that this brother probably hadn't seen her yet.

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Po was stunned, turned her head in disbelief, met Yuzhu's face, and stared at the boss, "Jiao, Jiao? Jiao Jiao is back?"

"Yes, Sixth Brother, I'm back."

The next moment, Yuzhu saw Jiang Po's eyes flushed quickly, "Jiao Jiao is back, Sixth Brother misses you so much."

Whether or not there were a few people in between, Jiang Po could have jumped up and hugged Yuzhu.

After dinner, Jiang Po refused to leave, and insisted on staying in the room with Yuzhu, until Yuzhu yawned and then he smiled and said, "Jiaojiao, I won't go anywhere tomorrow, I will stay at home with you."

Yuzhu responded with a smile, Jiang Po was willing to leave, Yuzhu took a rest after washing up, and slept on the apricot red and gold heart glitter satin brocade quilt, Yuzhu was drowsy, but her heart was inexplicably at ease.

she's back.
