Chapter 19 Layout
For several days, the Duke Shen’s Mansion seemed to have returned to its former peace.
My thoughts were released, and I spent most of my time with the old lady in Yansongtang. I occasionally went out to meet with familiar ladies, and went out for a walk and enjoy the flowers, so I felt comfortable.
Chen Qingyun studied with Mr. Xu every day, getting up early and going to bed late, never slacking off for a day, but she would come to dinner with her mother Han every day.
"Madam, stop waiting. The Duke of the State is out today. It's time for this order. I guess I've already had a meal outside."
"Yes, then I'll stitch two stitches first and wait for Qingyun to come."
Through the curtain, Chen Qingyun heard the conversation between the nanny and Han in the room, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The maid opened the curtain for her, and it caught her eyes that Han was wearing a purple embroidered robe with only a very good-colored jade hairpin stuck on her hair, half leaning against the beauty couch, her eyes gently embroidering the clothes on her hands. The sun sets in the west and the twilight is warm, and the scene in front of her is as quiet as a picture of a lady.
"Mom, the light is not good now, how can you stand it like this?" Chen Qingyun couldn't help but remind.
Han glanced at Chen Qingyun with a grudge, but his hands didn't stop.
"That's right? Madam, stop embroidering. As soon as she talked about the lady, let the kitchen serve food." Madam Chen smiled and made the little maid below start to get busy.
"This is not summer. I want to buy some light clothes for your father." Han looked at the embroidered robe in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and then put it down.
"Isn't it enough for the embroidery lady to do it? Why do you have to worry so much?"
"Silly kid, how can it be the same? When you get married in the future, you will understand your mother's mood." Han smiled and joked.
Chen Qingyun was very dissatisfied. His father was obviously a free job, but he disappeared on weekdays. He obviously went to the outdoor room and cheated his mother in a very hard way.
But looking at Han's face, Chen Qingyun didn't know whether he should expose Shen Zhifeng's true face so quickly.
Madam Chen quickly prepared the food cloth. Chen Qingyun looked at Fu'an standing in the distance, thinking that she had to solve it first, otherwise it would be too dangerous to leave such a slut by her mother's side. The cause of her mother's death in her previous life was unknown, and now she is very suspicious of Shen Zhifeng's move.
Chen Qingyun retracted her thoughts and looked at the gentle mother in front of her, picking up food for her. There were piles of pointed dishes on the bowl, which were funny and satisfying. The two of them had a sumptuous dinner.
After the meal, Yi Cui followed Chen Qingyun for a walk in the garden to digest food. There was a leaf worm-eaten in front of her. Chen Qingyun reached out to pick it off, crushed it into the soil with her feet, and asked, "Can the news be released?"
Yicui nodded: "Everyone in the mansion knows, the lady is looking for a marriage for Fu'an."
"Is there any intention to move?"
"Yes, the two sons in charge happened to be old. I'm afraid they'll ask about the situation in the next few days. After all, they are the favored maids around the wife, so it's not difficult to find a marriage."
Chen Qingyun smiled faintly. I guess Fu'an looked down on the marriage, but if he wanted to become a princess, he had to see if he had the fate. He just waited for her to get the water from the bamboo basket.
The next day, a manager found Madam Chen and wanted to ask about Fu'an's situation.
"Madam Chen, we are all born in the family. You probably know the situation. Although my son is not very good, he now helps his wife manage a shop, so he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and is still motivated. He is one year older than Fu'an. In the past, he was always dissatisfied with him, but now he has accepted it. I'm just coming to you to see if he has that blessing."
Manager Wang, who spoke, was responsible for purchasing a piece in the outer court, and he was also considered a certain status in the mansion.
If Fu'an is just a second-class maid, he is more than enough to be a good-looking and handsome son.
Madam Chen also met the son in charge, with a good facial features and no bad habits. She was a good marriage, so she agreed with a smile and told her wife to report back.
When Han heard this, he thought it was good, so he called Fu'an over and asked.
"Although the match depends on your own ideas, are you willing?"
Fu'an's face turned pale and he knelt down: "Madam, you dislike me and think that I have done something bad. I want to drive me out."
Han smiled so hard: "Silly Fu'an, look at what you said."
Madam Chen also comforted her: "You can't stay when you are old, so staying here and there will be a grudge. The son of the manager Wang looks good and has good abilities. If you can't make up your mind, you can meet him first."
Chen Qingyun happened to beside him, and said innocently on the surface: "Look at Sister Fu'an like this, but she looks down on her son in charge. I wonder what kind of person does Sister Fu'an want to marry?"
Fu'an looked up at Chen Qingyun and saw the thirteen-year-old lady's face was beautiful and her expression was calm, but her eyes were dark and seemed to have indescribable coldness.
She quickly lowered her head. In fact, she knew that her age was here, and the marriage was quite matched. She repeatedly ruling, but she could only pretend to be uneasy: "This, the lady is too worried, but she suddenly heard about this and was a little shy. Just as Madam Chen said, let's see you first."
When Madam Chen saw her reply, she covered her mouth and laughed, she was happy: "Okay, I'll go back to the manager tomorrow."
Fu'an was embarrassed, thinking in his heart, but he wanted to tell the Duke quickly.
She is already a member of the Duke's body and mind, so how could she marry someone else again?
Chen Qingyun sat aside to drink tea. The fish had already taken the bait, so she was not in a hurry. According to her observations during this period, Fu'an seemed to go to the East Courtyard to meet Shen Zhifeng every five days. Calculate the days and it will take another two days.
But Fu was so anxious that his mouth was about to blister.
Maybe it was because Manager Wang’s son really liked Fu’an, or maybe it was because Manager Wang was not young anymore, so Manager Wang was urging him tightly.
Madam Chen had just replied to the message, but she began to make an emergency arrangement to meet.
Wang Zhong had actually met Fu'an. He would occasionally report to Han to check it out regularly. The second-class maid often stayed in the outer courtyard of Nuanyu Pavilion on weekdays. Wang Zhong saw Fu'an obediently busy with his own affairs several times. He thought this maid was quite cute.
Now that he heard that his father was actually going to let him marry Fu'an, his wife agreed. He has always been busy with business and doesn't want to get married, he suddenly felt that if there was a beautiful wife waiting for him at home, it would be a peaceful time.
So I bought a jade hairpin and used the excuse to report the accounts. After seeing it from afar, I dragged the hairpin to Madam Chen to pass it over.
Madam Chen felt that Wang Zhong was considerate, so she praised him well in front of Han.
Fu'an still burst into tears: "I am not worthy of the prince, I just want to serve my wife."
