Chapter 71(1/2)
As the morning light entered the window, Baoshan sat up with her waist and glanced at the man who was still sleeping beside her, wishing she could kick him out of bed.
Last night she wanted to get out of bed and have a glass of water, but he pinched her waist and pressed her back and didn't have to rest all night.
While he was sleeping, Baoshan twitched his hands and feet and climbed to the edge of the bed, pulled up the embroidered shoes, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a glass of water.
Unexpectedly, the water is hot.
The man's hoarse voice came from his ears: "The red date tea I made was made with sober Chinese medicine."
I felt a little moved, but he tangled tightly last night, and the breath had not dissipated. Baoshan blew the tea noodles and sipped slowly, "I want to thank you more?"
A touch of warmth came from behind, tying her entire arms.
With a thin lips pressed against her forehead, Lu Yuzhou touched her belly, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
He felt a heat coming out of his neck, and Baoshan struggled and said angrily: "Shut up."
Lu Yuzhou held her hand holding the cup and drank the remaining tea, "Closing it out, I will take you and A Sheng to a place today, don't dress too beautifully."
"where?"
"You'll know when you go."
Looking at the end of his eyes, Baoshan seemed to have guessed something, and deliberately wore a white long dress while dressing.
Lu Yuzhou also changed into a snow-white wide robe, holding A Sheng's hand and waiting in front of the carriage.
The family of three is also dressed in white, and seems to be about to retire to the countryside.
On the carriage, A Sheng lay down in front of the window and asked, "Where are we going?"
Lu Yuzhou stroked the ribbons on his headcloth and said softly: "Go and see A Sheng's grandmother."
A Sheng was stunned, his little head would not turn. He had a grandmother, he was a bad mother-in-law...
Guessing what he was thinking, Lu Yuzhou explained: "Your grandmother is a gentle and virtuous woman, the legitimate lady of Xunjin Hou Mansion, and the biological mother of Dad."
A Sheng tilted his head and frowned, "But where is grandma?"
Looking at the sky outside the car window, Lu Yuzhou sighed: "In the stars in the ink sky, in the shells of the sea, and in the fog of the mountain stream, as long as it is a place that A Sheng can imagine, his grandmother may exist there to accompany us."
At the end of the day, the man's voice was slightly choked.
When he was a maid in the Duke's Mansion, Baoshan knew that Lu Yuzhou was not easy when he was young. Now he heard his voice change, and his heart felt very restless. He slowly grabbed his fingers and connected with his ten fingers.
Lu Yuzhou lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, patted the back of her hand, indicating that he was fine.
When passing through the street market, Lu Yuzhou saw the stall buying flowers, so he called to stop the carriage and bought some flowers that his biological mother liked.
When he arrived at his biological mother's grave, Lu Yuzhou took out the broom he brought to clean up the surroundings, and brought Baoshan and Asheng to burn incense for his biological mother.
"Mom, my son is here to see you." Lu Yuzhou looked at the tombstone, and a flash of light flowed in his eyes, "and brought your daughter-in-law and grandson."
Baoshan knelt in front of the grave and looked at the handwriting engraved by Duke Xiang on the tombstone. She couldn't tell what she felt and felt depressed.
A Sheng pulled Lu Yuzhou's clothes and asked ignorantly: "Is grandma asleep?"
Lu Yuzhou nodded, "Yes, I'm asleep."
As he learned his parents' actions, A Sheng knelt behind and kowtowed, "Grandma, A Sheng is here to see you, are you waking up?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuzhou closed his eyes and stopped the tears from surging, but two lines of tears still shed.
——Mother, son has a companion
On the way back, A Sheng noticed his father's dullness, stepped forward and hugged his neck, and looked close to him, "A Sheng is with Dad."
Holding his son's back with one hand, Lu Yuzhou closed his eyes and leaned on his shoulder, and said solemnly: "Dad will definitely grow up with A Sheng and watch A Sheng get married."
A Sheng didn't understand the meaning of getting married, so he nodded with a smile.
Baoshan also sat down, held his other hand, leaned his head on his arm, and accompanied him silently.
When he returned to the mansion, it was lunch. When he learned that they were going to worship Lu Yuzhou's biological mother, Zhao's heart was sour and his face was not revealed.
During the meal, Zhao picked up the tenderest diced meat for Ting'er and smiled gently, "It's time for our brother Ting to go to a private school, so you need to eat more."
However, unexpectedly, Ting'er scooped up half a spoonful and put it on A Sheng's plate, "Brother eat."
A Sheng also scooped Ting'er a spoonful of dishes from his bowl, "Brother, eat it."
After last night's trip to the Imperial Garden, the two became close friends.
Looking at Changsun's actions, Zhao closed his eyes and glared at the second wife.
The second wife pinched Ting'er and whispered: "Don't sit next to Brother Sheng in the future."
Ting'er pouted, obviously not liked the mother's arrangements. This is how children are, pure and simple, and are not influenced by the secular worldly influences of material desires.
After the meal, Baoshan began to learn how to manage accounts with his mother Li, and he was strict with his master and became a good disciple. When teaching Baoshan, Li's mother did not let him go, so she was unambiguous when it was time to scold him.
Because my mother wanted to learn to manage the accounts, grandpa and dad had a document to deal with it. A Sheng was accompanied by Tsinger, squatting under the old tree in the second yard, holding a wooden stick to pick up the soil.
Zhao stood in the corridor with a tabby cat in his arms, looked at Xiao Tuanzi's back, narrowed his slender eyebrows and eyes. He glanced at the tabby cat and left angrily.
Ting'er ran over with a bag of malt candy, "A Sheng!"
A Sheng ran over and hugged his brother.
Ting'er pulled open the bag and "eat candy."
A Sheng picked up one and put it in his mouth, and said "wow".
At this time, Qin Lingxuan, wearing an embroidered satin dress, appeared at the door, waving the pink silk handkerchief in his hand, "Brother Sheng, Brother Ting!"
When they saw Sister Zong Ji coming, the two little brothers were so happy that they ran forward one after another, shook hands with Qin Lingxuan and circled around.
Qin Lingxuan followed the prince Zhao Yi, who had not left the palace for a long time.
When they learned that the prince was coming, Duke Xiang and Lu Yuzhou put down their work and went out to greet them. The three of them went to the garden loft to discuss the matter, leaving behind two little playmates.
I saw Qin Lingxuan’s ability to climb trees last night. Ting'er pointed to the tall branch and said, “Sister climbs trees.”
Qin Lingxuan pinched his waist and looked at Hei, his delicate little face was full of confidence. He "pop" his fist twice, and crawled up with the tree trunk.
A Sheng raised his head, his big black eyes filled with respect for Qin Lingxuan, and he felt that this young lady was too powerful.
Climbing up the branch, Qin Lingxuan sat on it and shook his calves, picked the unripe fruit on the branches and threw it to the two brothers, "Stop."
Ting'er pulled her long and tried to catch the thrown fruit, but Qin Lingxuan didn't throw it well and hit Ting'er in the head.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Zhao's personal maid Chen He.
"Young Master Ting!" Chen He ran over and pulled Ting'er who was rubbing his head, "How about it, did you get hurt?"
Ting'er shook her head, dizzy in front of her.
When they were maids, Chen He was jealous of Baoshan being able to serve the prince, and now he was even more jealous. When he saw A Sheng standing not far away, he snorted and took Ting'er to Zhao's place to complain, saying that A Sheng was instigating Xiao Zongji to pick fruit and smash Ting'er indirectly.
Zhao pretended to ignore it, and even scolded Chen He in front of everyone, saying that she was making trouble. But when the prince and Zong Ji left, Zhao mentioned this matter at dinner, and was dissatisfied with A Sheng in his words.
A Sheng was afraid of this evil mother-in-law and hid in Baoshan's arms.
Baoshan touched her son's red face and looked at Zhao: "Mother is careful, and the child will take it to his heart."
When he heard Baoshan contradicting him, Zhao sneered: "Brother Sheng did something wrong, why don't you allow me, my grandmother to scold me?"
Baoshan argued with reason: "It is inevitable that children will bump into each other when they play together. Just talk to them, there is no need to hold on. Besides, after hearing from Ye'er, A Sheng did not let Zong Ji climb a tree."
"Can a maid be used as evidence?" Zhao put down his chopsticks and looked at Chen He behind him while Duke Xiang and Lu Yuzhou were not there, "he took the palm of his mouth."
Chen He raised his hand to Tan'er, making a crisp "pop" sound, and there was a ruthless force in his eyes, as if the slap was hitting Baoshan in the face.
Suddenly, Baoshan stood up, slapped Chen He in the face with her backhand.
Seeing this, Zhao suddenly stood up and suddenly became angry, "Rareless!"
Baoshan pulled Ting'er, who was frightened, and said softly, "Brother Ting, be good, let's tell everyone what happened."
Ting'er hid behind Baoshan, looked at Zhao, and told everything.
Upon hearing this, Baoshan glanced at Zhao, "Old Changsun, who was raised by the Duke's Mansion, will not lie, will his mother have anything else to say?"
Zhao was stunned and gave Chen He a fierce look, shook his sleeves and left.
Condensing Zhao's back lightly, Baoshan rubbed Ting'er's head, and under the complicated gaze of the two wives, she took A Sheng's hand and returned to Meizhiyuan.
When Lu Yuzhou returned to the courtyard with the setting sun in the west wind, he heard Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking about the unhappiness of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, nodding, "I understand."
When he walked into the bedroom, he saw A Sheng lying on the soft collapse and taking a nap. Baoshan leaned on the beauty couch to look through the account book. Lu Yuzhou slowly approached and took off the book in her hand, "The light is dark, let's read it tomorrow."
Baoshan turned around and looked at the window, ignoring him, obviously angry.
You can probably guess what it is.
Lu Yuzhou held her calves with a good temper, "My wife is tired for a day, I will give you a press..."
Baoshan kicked away his hand, and her pretty face was covered with a thin layer of frost.
Lu Yuzhou held her hand and placed it on his lap, "Are you angry from Mrs. Zhao?"
Baoshan closed her eyes and said, "I asked for it knowingly."
The tone shows inadvertent spoilage, and it is only because someone cares about it that it becomes spoiled.
