Second-hand lady

Chapter 16

After returning to Ning, they rested for another two days, and Wen Liang's wedding leave ended.

In the morning, Miss Rucui got up early to help him change his clothes and wash his hands, and had breakfast before sending him out.

It was the first time for Miss Cui to send her newlywed husband to the court, and she behaved well, but Wen Liang seemed a little bit reluctant, and frowned slightly, it seemed that today was not just as simple as going to court, there should be something else Son.But after Miss Rucui asked with concern, he just smiled, said a few words to her, and went to the court, and the servant Shangxi followed behind him step by step.

After Wen Liang went to court, Ru Cui was not idle, and began to look through the account book that Wen Liang had given her.

After a while, Uncle Ming also came over with a stack of ledgers for her to look at, and said, "Young Madam, these are the ledgers of the shop in the mansion and Zhuangzi, I will trouble Madam in the future."

Ru Cui quickly took it, and said, "Uncle Ming, I'm still young, if there's anything I don't understand, I hope you can point it out, lest I accidentally spoil things."

Uncle Ming nodded with a smile, Miss Rucui's honest words were helpful to her ears, and she pointed out some things she didn't understand before retreating.

On the second day after Gui Ning came back, Wen Liang handed over some house and land deeds and warehouse keys to her, so that she could be a housekeeper in the future.Wen Liang's move can be said to be a kind of wholehearted trust, completely entrusting the tutoring to her, without leaving any money for herself.To her surprise, he just smiled lightly and said, "You are mine now, what else can I not give you?"

Miss Rucui was embarrassed, but she didn't shirk in the end. Fortunately, she followed Concubine Su and helped Concubine Su handle the affairs of the palace before, so it would be because she was not in a hurry.It's just that Wen Liang's move was disapproved by Jiao Yusheng, but Wen Liang directly ignored it.

On the day of Guining, they went back to Taishi's mansion directly, Wen Liang asked Uncle Ming to go to the mansion to inform, and when he came back, he brought back these three girls.Wen Liang didn't say anything, and asked Yusheng and the others to stay and wait on him because of the old man's affection.

In the past two days, Rucui has already identified all the stewards in charge of various positions in the mansion, and she can deal with affairs more quickly after knowing it well, but she is still very awkward about accounting. Turned over a little.

"Miss, it's noon." Tsing Yi reminded.

Lan Yi rubbed the ink beside her, and when she heard Qing Yi's words, her stomach also made a rumbling sound, which made her blush uncontrollably.

Miss Ru Cui stretched her waist, and said with a smile: "So it's already noon, I can't complain that I'm hungry." As she said that, she originally wanted to send people to serve meals, but remembering that Wen Liang didn't know if she would come back at noon, she said : "Master Wen, did you send someone back to say that you will come back for lunch?"

Tsing Yi replied: "The servant girl asked Mother Chen in the mansion, she is serving the young master, and said that the young master usually comes back for lunch if there is nothing to do."

Rucui nodded, and asked people to serve meals.

At noon, Wen Liang came back, and brought an old doctor with him.

The old doctor is indeed very old, her hair is gray, she is about sixty or seventy years old, but she is very energetic and walks steadily, and her thin face looks kindly - but at this time it is full of anger. It doesn't sound that easy to get along with.

Wen Liangtui helped the imperial doctor to enter the door. The housekeeper, Uncle Ming, came over to greet the old imperial doctor as soon as he saw him, and said respectfully, "Old Master Hu, why are you here?"

The old doctor glared at him angrily, and said, "Is it okay, can I come over?"

Uncle Ming smiled and didn't answer, but Wen Liang touched his nose and said, "It's our fault, I don't know if Grandpa Hu is back, or I should have brought my daughter-in-law to greet Grandpa Hu." Seeing Rucui coming with her maid, she hurriedly said, "Come here, please greet Grandpa Hu."

After hearing this, Ru Cui hurried over to greet Imperial Physician Hu.

This Imperial Physician Hu is a relative of Wen Liang's mother's family, and also an in-law of the Tan family in Pingjin. He married the sister of Wen Liang's grandfather. Grandpa Hu.Moreover, Wen Liang also grew up in Tan's parents for a period of time when he was a child, and he often stayed by Mrs. Hu's side, and Mrs. Hu treated her for minor illnesses and pains.When he was a teenager, Wen Liang had a solid skin. He fell from a tree while climbing a tree with a group of cousins, and almost lost his appearance. Later, he was cured by Imperial Physician Hu, so the relationship between Imperial Physician Hu and Wen Liang seemed normal Like the children and grandchildren of the family, if they disagree with each other when they meet, they will always scold them a few times.

Although Doctor Hu is old, his eyes are sharp and tight. It is a kind of penetrating sharpness that sees through the world. Some younger juniors never dare to act too badly in front of him.Facing the scrutiny and scrutiny of Dr. Hu, Miss Rucui always smiled, and after greeting the old man, under the gentle gesture, the two helped him into the flower hall where the meal was prepared.

There was one more person, but it was just a matter of adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks. The maids quickly presented the bowls and chopsticks respectfully.

After lunch, Wen Liang asked someone to prepare tea, and asked Rucui to offer tea to Imperial Physician Hu, which was regarded as a formal gift to the elders.

Doctor Hu looked indifferent, took the tea readily, and gave the bride a red envelope as usual, and then said dissatisfied: "Is it because my old man is not here, so you don't want to go to see my old man? Fortunately, I am still eager to see you." Waiting for you to come and offer me tea..."

Hearing his accusation, Wen Liang called out his grievances: "Grandpa Hu, I heard that people from Prince Anding's Mansion took you away from Beijing to see a doctor for Princess Anding, and I feel very sorry that Grandpa Hu, you can't preside over my wedding. Originally, I wanted to wait for Grandpa Hu to come back, so I would take my daughter-in-law there to greet you, but who would have thought that I would see you in the palace today..."

Imperial Physician Hu's expression slowed down, and he snorted and said: "It's good if you have this heart, and I'll be exempted from presiding over the wedding for you. I'm afraid that the Zhen Guo Guild will look for me desperately. Come on, you young couple also sit down and talk to me .Brother Liang's daughter-in-law, Brother Liang is quick-tempered, and he is a caring, careful person. You will discipline him well in the future."

After hearing this, Miss Rucui quickly straightened her back and said seriously: "Don't worry, Grandpa Hu, I will!"

This earnestness is flattering, Imperial Physician Hu didn't know someone's nature for a while, so he nodded with satisfaction.He returned to the capital last night, and was announced by the emperor to enter the palace early this morning to see a doctor for the sick concubine Shu. He didn't have time until noon, and he didn't expect to meet Wen Liang in the palace.Thinking of the child's return from the battlefield, a series of tossings and finally getting married, he was comforted in his heart, but he missed his marriage because of the Dingping Palace, and he felt a little bit sad in his heart.Fortunately, Imperial Physician Hu is not really that pedantic person, he met Wen Liang today, so he stopped by to see his nephew and granddaughter-in-law.

After chatting for a while, Imperial Physician Hu has been busy recently and is getting older, after all, he is not in good spirits, and under Wen Liang's persuasion, he did not go back to the mansion, so he rested in the guest room of Wen Mansion.

After arranging for Imperial Physician Hu to rest, Ru Cui returned to the room, and saw Wen Liang sitting lazily on the long couch by the window drinking tea, and had already changed into a set of moon-white clothes. It also seems to be less popular.

Seeing her come back, Wen Liang waved to her.

Miss Rucui walked over calmly, and said with a smile, "Miss Wen's actions seem to be recruiting Dabai and Xiaobai from my family."

Wen Liang smiled and said, "Are you Dabai or Xiaobai?"

Ru Cui solemnly said: "I am their master, and Lord Wen is their master's husband!"

"..."

Wen Liang laughed suddenly, grabbed her waist and hugged her into his arms, rubbing her vigorously to eat tofu.After the two had quarreled for a while, Wen Liang lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, and said, "Girl, it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday in two days, and the Empress Dowager will welcome you then."

Ru Cui was surprised, "The empress dowager specially invites me? Why? Hey, does the empress dowager want to give some beautiful maids to serve you?" As she spoke, her eyes flicked around him.

Wen Liang's face was full of black lines, what was going on in this girl's head?Or did the empress dowager's interference in Su Wang's mansion leave her with a psychological shadow? "Girl, you think too much. I'm not the empress dowager's son, and the empress dowager can't manage my backyard. Cough, but if you see the eldest princess at that time, you should be more cautious."

Hearing what he said, Miss Rucui immediately understood, and said, "Master Wen, has the eldest princess taken a fancy to you?"

Wen Liang rolled his eyes, "I don't even know what that little girl looks like, but I didn't provoke her. It's just that the nurse next to the eldest princess passed a message to me, and I didn't take it to heart." , Seeing her eyes fixed on him, Wen Liang softened his heart, touched her face, and said softly: "Don't worry, I said it when I was in Tongcheng, I will marry you as my wife in this life, and I will marry you for others. Haven't even looked at it yet. You have to trust me, huh?"

"Oh, I'm not worried about this." Miss Rucui was calmer than him, looked him up and down, and sighed: "I just think that Mr. Wen, you are so beautiful that you attract a lot of stinging bees."

"...." Is the idiom used in this way?
Wen Liang choked so hard that he could only stare at her.
