Co-wife

Chapter 274 Mind

After hearing what her mother said, Zhu'er didn't care. "I didn't let others see it. You and the old woman are the only ones in the yamen. I'm just looking at things, and I will be able to please people when I marry in the future!"

The old woman pursed her lips, packed up the things and put them on the table in the house, said. "It's done, come out quickly, and if the old lady sees you later, I'll have to tell you well, let this yamen do the work, I've worn out my lips!"

"Oh, mother, I understand!" Zhu'er came out with her mother, looked at the bundle on the table, thought in her heart, pulled her mother to the side, and said. "Mom, do you know where that thing came from?"

"That thing was sent by the county magistrate's wife, why do you ask?"

Zhu'er knew that the county magistrate was married, so she went to the yamen several times when she came back. Seeing the county magistrate's appearance, he was an official again. Earlier, she thought that he was not married yet, but she managed to convince her mother After answering, the county magistrate got married!

"I just asked, where is this magistrate's wife the daughter of a rich family?" Zhu'er said as she straightened her clothes. If she wasn't poor in her own house, she couldn't be compared with her appearance. As for the daughter of a rich family, when she thinks of the county magistrate getting married, she feels unhappy!

"The daughter of a rich family, the one who married the county magistrate was the daughter of Chunnong, who was conferred by the current emperor. Even though she has this name, she is a bit more noble. After all, she is still a married person. Wife's wife, who knows what crooked ways are inside!" The old woman looked at her daughter and said. "This year you're too old. After a while, I'll ask a matchmaker to find you a good wife!"

"What are you talking about here? There's no one in the kitchen!" The old lady came over, looked at the two mother and daughter talking softly, and said with a serious face. "This is for busy work in the yamen, not for you to come here to chat!"

"Oh, old lady, I understand. My daughter just said that her bones are a little uncomfortable. Didn't I mean her!" After the old woman finished speaking, she dragged Zhu'er to the kitchen!

Pearl followed her mother into the kitchen and looked outside.road. "Mother, does the eldest lady know that the magistrate's wife brought that thing?"

"What does she know, I took that thing in, and I didn't tell her about it later, forget about it!" The old woman added firewood to the stove, and said to Zhu'er. "Go and wash the porridge pot. The county magistrate must be busy when he comes back, and he will not rest until later on weekdays. Let's cook some porridge today!"

Pearl nodded, took the porridge pot and went out, washed the pot, and looked at the room where the magistrate slept.He quickly washed the jar in his hand and sent it to the kitchen, then frowned.Covering his belly with his hands, he said. "Mother, I have a stomachache. Could it be that my stomach was spoiled by eating today? I'm going to a latrine!"

"It's done, it's done, hurry up, come back and make some soup for you!" The old woman finished lighting the fire.Put the pot on top of the little stove and put some rice and corn in it!

Zhu Er went out of the kitchen and went to the room where Xu Zi lived.Looking around, she gently opened the door and walked in. Seeing the bundle on the table, Zhu'er was a little scared, but after thinking about it, she quickly picked up the bundle and walked out!

The old woman happened to come over this time, seeing Zhu'er coming out of the county magistrate's house with something in her arms, her face turned cold, and she scolded. "What are you doing!"

Zhu'er was frightened by the sound, and the bundle in her hand dropped to the ground, she quickly picked it up and patted it, looking at the old woman and saying. "Auntie, I..."

"What are you holding in your hand?" The old woman walked over with a cold face, pulled the bag over, opened it, and there was a piece of clothing inside, and then the purse also fell out!

Zhu'er's eyes flickered, she lowered her head, what should she do now, it's not that she didn't see the old woman here before, then she raised her head and looked at the old woman cautiously, and saw the old woman looking at the old woman in her hand. Satisfaction flashed in his purse eyes, and he said. "Auntie, I made a piece of clothes and a purse last time, thinking of giving it to the county magistrate to wear. My mother left this yamen to work and got money to support the people in the house. There is nothing to give away!"

"Why are you so sneaky as a gift? Since it was given to the county magistrate, why did you take it out?" The old lady didn't think about it, not to mention that Zhu'er was pretty, and her hands were very clever. The county magistrate returned home with all the outfits she arranged, but the sewing of the purse and clothes really took a lot of work!

Seeing that the old lady seemed to believe this, Zhu'er breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at her and said. "I'm not afraid that the county magistrate will not like it. I sent it in and put it away, and I will take it back after thinking about it later!"

"It's done. I'll keep this thing for the county magistrate first. When he comes back, I'll tell him, you go to work first!" Zhu'er nodded and said. "Thank you, auntie!" After finishing speaking, he went to the kitchen!

The old woman shook her head helplessly, packed up her belongings and took them back to her room!

"Mother..." Zhu'er hurriedly ran into the kitchen, but startled the old woman, and said. "You damn girl, why did you come in without making a sound!"

Zhu'er patted her mother's back flatteringly, and said. "Mom, I did something wrong!"

"What's wrong? What did you do?" The old woman stared at Zhu'er after hearing this. "What did you go out to do with your time?"

Then Zhu'er talked about this matter to the old woman, the old woman listened, poked Zhu'er's forehead and said. "You said, if you want to learn needlework, it's not good to ask the old woman to teach you, but now it's good, you nonsense, if people find out, why don't I stay here and work!"

The old woman was very angry with her daughter, said. "It's okay if someone else brought that thing, but it was brought by the county magistrate's wife. Tell me about you..."

Seeing how anxious her mother was, Zhu'er hurriedly said. "Mother, why are you so anxious? We know about this. Besides, the magistrate's wife doesn't know about it, so she won't come to the yamen herself!"

"That's the way it is said, but..."

"Mother, just listen to me. It's nothing. If something happens later, I'll tell you the truth. A good-hearted official like the county magistrate will definitely not be too harsh. Don't worry!" After hearing what her daughter said, the old lady nodded, but she still kept it in her heart!

When Xu Zi returned to the yamen, it was already dark that day, Zhu'er came to the front yard from time to time, and was anxious to wait, and then looked at the carriage parked outside, Zhu'er was overjoyed, so she hid herself happily, and looked Let the old lady wait by the door!

Seeing this, Zhu'er hurried back to the kitchen, fetched water to wash her face, and said to her mother. "Mother, the county magistrate is probably back, but he has to bring food to the table?"

"Why are you so anxious, the old lady hasn't even spoken yet!"

When Zhu'er heard this, she had no choice but to wait. Seeing that the old lady was coming, she said. "Auntie, but do you want to serve food to the table?"

The old woman glanced at Zhu'er and said. "The county magistrate will eat outside, we can eat by ourselves!" After hearing what the old woman said, Zhu'er was a little disappointed, and quickly took the bowls and chopsticks to serve the old woman to eat, and said. "Auntie, you eat!"

The old lady felt that Zhu'er was very clever, said. "I'll eat later, you guys eat first!" After speaking, he left the kitchen!

Seeing the old lady go away, Zhu'er pursed her lips and said. "Mother, why is this old lady so difficult?"

"Speak softly, it's not good to say this behind someone's back, if you let her hear it, you'll look good to me!" The old woman said, putting away the prepared meals, and said. "Let's eat, we have to clean up later!"

When Xu Zi came back, he went into the study room, and the old woman made him chrysanthemum tea as usual. Xu Zi didn't like tea at first, so he drank this chrysanthemum tea from Chen Chunhua's house, and gave it to him every day. It's up, this chrysanthemum tea was brought back last time, and it's very economical to steep it a little bit!

"Lord county magistrate, the weather is getting hot these days, and there will be a big sun tomorrow, but you need to wear less?" The old lady brought tea to the table and asked casually!

Xu Zi nodded and said. "I have to wear less, it's really exciting to go out today!"

The old woman nodded slightly, seeing that Xu Zi couldn't take his eyes off the book, she quietly backed out, Xu Zi didn't have the heart to read at the moment, after drinking the tea, he said to put on clothes, his daughter-in-law hadn't made them for him yet. Taking off the clothes, seeing that the sky is getting hot, but does she remember this thing?

Back to Xu Zi alone, no matter how he lived, it was different to become a family, and some things that he didn't pay attention to back were also paid attention to!

When she got up the next day, the old lady prepared Xu Zi with the dress made by Zhu Er. The blue gown of this dress was also made of very good fabric, and it fit Xu Zi perfectly!

Xu Zi looked at himself and said. "The clothes are nice!"

"That's not it, it fits very well, that girl Zhu'er is good at sewing, even my old bones look good!" Then the old woman handed the purse to Xu Zi, and said. "Look at this purse, but it's pretty tight?"

Xu Zi nodded, took a look at the purse, then put it down, said. "Didn't you make this dress?"

"Oh, my eyesight is not very good these days, and I haven't been able to catch up with it, but Zhu'er is so thoughtful, she fixed it!"

"Okay, you can give her some money later, as if you bought this dress!" Xu Zi walked out after saying that, and Zhu'er put it in the yard to sweep the floor, and when she saw Xu Zi coming out, she hurriedly hid aside. , Seeing him wearing that dress today is even more beautiful, but after thinking about it, this dress is not made by himself, and it doesn't look so pleasing to the eye!

When Xu Zi went out, the old woman looked for Zhu'er and gave her the money, saying. "Look at the material of the clothes is not cheap, it's because of your good intentions, you keep the money!" The old woman said and gave the prepared money to Zhu'er, Zhu'er was stunned, and hurriedly returned the money to the old woman. Mother-in-law, said. "Auntie, what do you do with my money!"
