Second-hand lady

Chapter 71

Now that she met Concubine Su, Ru Cui followed Concubine Su to Su Wang's mansion along the way.What made her happy was that Wen Yanping and the two children of Su Wang's Mansion had a good time, taking care of them like a little sister (or little brother), which made Xiaoshizi like to chase after her, but because of her appearance, Diverted the eyes of the little princess, causing a certain little wolf cub to stare at her with a fierce look in his eyes.

While drinking tea with Su Wangfei, Ru Cui chatted about her affairs in Pingjin, while distractedly looking at the children playing on the thick carpet over there, and saw Chu Zhen baring her teeth at the little girl who was hugging the little princess , I'm really worried that Yan Ping's small body can't withstand Chu Zhen's attack. You must know that Chu Zhen is being specially trained by the captain of the guard of Su Wang's mansion, and he is very cruel.

"Zhen!" Little Chuchu is a serious child, and also a well-behaved child. Seeing her future shadow guard baring her teeth at Uncle Wen's elder brother, she pursed her lips and said seriously: "This is the son of Uncle Wen's family." Brother Ping, don't be rude."

Chu Zhen was a little confused. She looked at her parents—Chuchu Xiaobaozi, and at the boy who was holding hands with her parents. Then she moved to Chuchu's side and decisively put Wen Yanping on Xiaobaozi's shoulders Slapping his paws away, he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be rude."

"Zhen!" Xiao Chuchu called out.

Chu Zhen pretended not to hear it, but saw Xiao Shizi crawling around on the ground, ran over to pick him up, and handed him to Wen Yanping.

With his younger brother in his arms, Wen Yanping readily let go of his little sister, hugged his younger brother and started playing with him.

Concubine Su also saw the children's interaction, she couldn't help laughing, and said to Ru Cui: "You guys have recognized a good... son." Or a good daughter.

Ru Cui said happily: "Well, Yanping is a good boy. She likes to play with children younger than her."

At noon, King Su and Wen Liang came back together.

"Father, you're back~" Wen Yanping rushed over to greet him.

Wen Liang was a little surprised for a moment, the little girl seemed to be very excited, and even threw herself into her arms, isn't she usually very guarded against herself?Although most of the time she is just unconsciously guarding against men, not intentionally...

Ru Cui and Concubine Su came with a few children, Ru Cui explained with a smile: "Master Wen, Yan Ping had a great time playing with Xiaoshizi and the little princess today, and I want to thank you in my heart." Thank him for accepting her as Only by being a righteous daughter can she avenge her parents and start her life again, and know so many younger brothers and sisters.

After Wen Liang heard this, he was also very happy in his heart. Naturally, he was happy to see that the righteous daughter could have a good time with the children of King Su's mansion.Wen Liang picked up his other adoptive son, rubbed his white and tender nose, which made him laugh happily, "Bai Bai, do you miss foster father?"

Little Baozi has long forgotten about him, he doesn't want to think about it, but he is just learning how to speak, and he habitually echoes "thinking", but it makes Wen Liang very happy.

Xiao Yanping was very greedy watching from the side, he jumped and shouted: "Father, I want to hug my brother too~"

Seeing that she was dancing hard, Ru Cui picked her up and let her put her arms around Xiao Baozi, and smiled at Wen Liang.

Concubine Su came over with her daughter, and said to King Su who was looking at Wen Liang's family of three: "Why did your lord come back with Lord Wen? Do you want to set up a meal now?"

King Su nodded, and said calmly: "I heard that Rucui went back to the house with you, so Zixiu said that he would come to our house for dinner today."

Concubine Su curled her lips secretly, muttered something cheeky, and then hurriedly asked someone to set the meal.

After lunch, King Su and Wen Liang went to the study to discuss matters. Concubine Su and Ru Cui took a few children to play in the warm pavilion to digest food. After a while, the youngest little bun started to fight with his white eyelids. Concubine Su hurriedly ordered him to be arrested. Send it back to bed.

When Wen Liang and King Su came out, both of them had serious expressions. Princess Su guessed that Da Chu’s centuries-old enemy, North Vietnam, had made new moves, and she was also a little worried. This proved that her workaholic husband was going to die of exhaustion every day. Tired.Rucui also heard Princess Su mention a little bit, and she knew it well. It seems that Mr. Wen from my family is probably busy recently.

"My lord, my concubine, let's take our leave first."

After saying goodbye to King Su and his wife, Wen Liang left with Wen Yanping, who was already asleep, in his arms.

In the carriage, Ru Cui told Wen Liang about her entry into the palace, and then said to Wen Liang: "We should go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to meet our parents at the first time when we return to Beijing. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager will suddenly announce that Yanping and I will enter the palace. , it seems that it can only be postponed until tomorrow, I hope my parents will not be angry." Even if she was angry, she didn't feel it, but she didn't want to make Wen Liang sad.

Wen Liang smiled faintly, "It's okay, you can go back tomorrow. But I'll go back with you tomorrow after I go to court." It also saves time for his old man to criticize the girl.As he spoke, he ordered the coachman to turn around and head towards Taiyi Hu's mansion.

Ru Cui was silent, and once again discovered another bad habit of this man: narrow-mindedness.It is clear that he is someone who wants to keep the government of the town in the air.

Today I went to Imperial Physician Hu's residence on a temporary basis. Fortunately, Imperial Physician Hu and his wife were there, and my little cousin Sun Qiaoqiao was still there. After asking, I found out that I didn't go back to spend the New Year with my parents this year, but stayed at my grandfather's house for the new year.

"Your boy is back, hmph, I thought you were reluctant to come back." Imperial Physician Hu was critical when they met, "Where is your adopted son? Come and show me the old man."

Rucui led Wen Yanping, who was still a little sleepy, and called out "Grandpa Hu" sweetly, and then said to Wen Yanping: "Yanping, this is Grandpa and Grandma Zeng, and that is Auntie Qiaoqiao. Great grandfather."

Wen Yanping was very kind, seeing Wen Liang's different attitude towards Imperial Physician Hu, he immediately smiled sweetly and shouted: "Hello Grandpa Zeng, Hello Grandma Zeng, Hello Biao Aunt, I am Wen Yanping."

Imperial Physician Hu responded lightly, not knowing whether he liked it or hated it, but he still gave a greeting gift.Mrs. Hu is getting old and likes children on weekdays. Seeing that Wen Yanping is thin and weak, she feels sorry for her, but Sun Qiaoqiao is very happy that she has a little nephew. Smart and lively.

"Haven't you brought your daughter-in-law back to Duke Zhen's mansion?" Imperial Physician Hu asked calmly after taking a sip of tea.

Wen Liang waved his fan slowly, looking at ease, and said sincerely: "I just came back last night, and today my wife has been sent to the palace by the empress dowager. How can I have time to go there? Tomorrow I will take them back to my parents Please."

Imperial Physician Hu nodded after hearing this, although he didn't want to see the people of Zhen Guogong's mansion, but he didn't want to be gentle and self-willed, and ruin his reputation.

Imperial Physician Hu and his wife asked about the situation of Tan's family in Pingjin, Wen Liang answered slowly, and couldn't finish talking for a while, especially Mrs. Hu, who cared about her natal family and asked very detailed questions. Imperial Physician Hu respected his wife, Knowing what she misses, I also listen to her.

After coming out of Hu Taiyi's mansion, the sky was already full of sunset.

The family of three, who were full after eating and drinking, abandoned the car and walked slowly towards Wenfu. Wen Yanping asked about everything that was new along the way. Wen Liang answered patiently, occasionally looking up at Rucui, she He will return a warm smile, and the restlessness in his heart will gradually fade away.

He thought, what does it matter if he has any heirs?Isn't it like a family now?
Early the next morning, Wen Liang yawned and went to court, Miss Rucui began to look through the books that had been piled up in the mansion for several months, and waited for Wen Liang to go back to Wen Mansion together.Wen Yanping sat at a small desk not far from her to read and write.

However, Wen Liang hadn't come back yet, and the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion sent people over this morning.

"Ma'am, Nanny Lin from Zhen Guogong's mansion is here." Tsing Yi Liu frowned slightly, secretly wondering what does Zhen Guogong's wife mean by sending that Nanny Lin over?Who doesn't know that Nanny Lin is the capable nanny who serves by Duke Zhen's side. In the Duke's mansion, even the current wife of Duke Zhen has to be respected, but she is a formidable one.

Ru Cui has also studied the people in the Duke's Mansion of the Town, and when she heard that it was Nanny Lin, she knew it in her heart, but she still sat calmly and said, "Bring her here."

Tsing Yi took the order to go, and after a while, she brought over a nanny who was dressed more gorgeously than the other servants. She looked about 40 years old, her face was a little more majestic, and a jade scorpion was inserted into her head. Chaizi, low-key but revealing a kind of wealth, looks more decently dressed than those high-class nuns.

"Why is Nanny Lin here? Come and sit down."

Nanny Lin greeted Ru Cui, then sat down, and said, "Third Young Madam, as a daughter-in-law, you won't visit your parents when you come back, so you know this is extremely disrespectful to your parents?"

Ru Cui said calmly: "Yesterday, the Empress Dowager suddenly issued an order to let me enter the palace, so I couldn't go back to greet my parents immediately. I am about to go back today. The Empress Dowager can't let the old man wait for her. I believe Madam Lin Can you understand it too?" If you can't understand, hehe, it doesn't matter, she is willing to let her understand.

Nanny Lin looked at her suspiciously, would the person who was going back sit quietly in his study and read the account book?
"Master Wen has given orders. When he comes back, we will go back to the mansion to meet our parents. It just so happens that my father is also going to court, so the time is just right." Rucui explained with a smile again. Seeing that Nanny Lin still had something to say, she interjected: "If Mammy is fine, go back."

Nanny Lin was a little angry. The young masters and wives in Zhen Guogong's mansion were not polite to her, but the third young lady didn't take her seriously, so she straightened her face and said, "Third young lady, You are so unruly, as a daughter-in-law, you should go back early in the morning to ask your parents-in-law to please you. There is no need to investigate what happened yesterday, but today it has been delayed until now and you haven't gone back. The third young lady can't learn the word filial piety well. "

"Nurse Lin is right, but I have to obey Mrs. Wen's orders when I marry and follow my husband." Ru Cui still said with a smile, and said: "Nurse Lin is old and may have forgotten her duty. You How can a servant question the matter of the master?"

"You..." Nanny Lin blushed, it was the first time she was humiliated like this.Sometimes slaves bully their masters is something that people criticize, but Mother Lin's position is aloof, even if she understands, who would dare to bring it up?

Nanny Lin stood up and left with a cold face. When she just stepped out of the gate, two white balls suddenly jumped under her feet. She was startled. She wanted to stop her feet and then stepped out habitually. I obeyed, but I tripped over the high threshold and fell headlong, and fell out.

Not far from Nanny Lin, there were two little white foxes squatting there looking at the sprawled man lying on the ground, as innocent as they could be.

In the room, Ru Cui and Wen Yanping covered their mouths and snickered at the same time, it was Wen Yanping who ordered the two little foxes to jump over just now.Only Tsing Yi sighed, this Nanny Lin is a person close to the old Zhen Guogong, when she goes to Zhen Guogong to file a complaint, the wife will be miserable.
