Chapter 107
A few days passed, and one day it started to snow and clear, the weather finally got closer to warmth, and everything began to bloom.【26nbsp;】
In the exquisite embroidery pavilion, Yu Zhu had just finished making a purse. He was taking out a piece of jade and relaxing his eyes in the old way. The silver chain came in and said with a smile: "Miss, there is a daughter-in-law kneeling outside the ceremony gate, saying that she wants to I’m kowtowing to you to thank you.”
Yu Zhu counted the days and figured out that the matter should be done, so he put down Yu Jue and let Yin Lian lead the people in.
Yu Zhu, the thin and long-faced daughter-in-law of Zhuangtou, still remembers it. The haggard woman next to her must be her daughter Double Happiness. She is about forty years old, as thin as an old woman, and her withered yellow hair is only covered by a thin strand. With the thin silver hairpin tied up, she looked even older than her mother.
The two of them were a little cautious. They walked in with their heads lowered and timidly walked a few steps before kneeling down from a distance.
"Thank you, Miss, for saving my life."
Yu Zhu couldn't bear it, so she asked Hua Ruo to carry two small dices for them. He smiled and reassured them, "I'm not a man-eating tiger. You're so afraid of what I'll do. Just sit down and talk."
In the end, Shuangxi's mother, Tian Feng, was more knowledgeable and knew a little about Yu Zhu's temper. She didn't refuse, took her daughter's thin arm and helped her sit down.
"Thank you, Miss, for your help. Shuangxi finally saved her life." The Tian Feng family shed tears as she spoke. From time to time, she picked up the handkerchief tucked around her waist and wiped her eyes. "I'm afraid it would have been too late if I had gone a few days later." , Miss is the reincarnation benefactor of our family’s Double Happiness. From now on, I will erect a longevity tablet for Miss and continue to burn incense day and night..."
...What kind of mess is this? Yu Zhu quickly interrupted her, turned to look at Shuangxi who was sitting next to him with his head bowed in silence, and said softly: "Forget it, Dingtian, I'll call you Shuangxi."
Shuangxi raised his head suddenly, tears burst out of his eyes, and with trembling lips that were almost bloodless, he struggled to say one word: "Yes."
Yuzhu didn't know what the outcome of that matter was now. He wanted to ask but was worried that Shuangxi would be sad again. He hesitated for a while and only asked: "You don't look well, so you should go home and rest. What else do you need?" Why don't I hire a doctor for you?"
"A civilian woman doesn't dare to think about anything else, but I beg you, Miss, to help rescue the civilian woman's two children. Ding Yu gave birth to a beast, and her conscience and humanity have long since disappeared. She will definitely not treat her two children well." Shuangxi knelt down straight. On the ground, looking at Yu Zhu's eyes as humble as dust, she clutched the skirt of her chest tightly, as if she couldn't breathe in pain.
The Tian Feng family felt that something was wrong. They would get bored easily by asking for trouble again and again. If they failed, they would be kicked out immediately and never allowed to come in again. However, they remembered that their grandson and granddaughter were so thin when they went to pick up their daughter. When Lingding looked pitifully black and thin, she finally couldn't bear to pull her daughter up. She gritted her teeth and knelt down, pleading: "Miss, please, I know you shouldn't trouble me with this kind of thing." You, my slave, really have no choice, that beast of the Ding family only feeds the child one meal a day, and this time he suffered a loss, and I am afraid he will abuse the child even more."
Yu Zhu moved his neck in embarrassment. He still didn't think well. Why didn't he think of having a child? Sure enough, if you haven't been a mother, you can't realize the weight of the child in the mother's heart. That Ding Xiucai is really shameless and knows about double happiness. How much you love your children, even if Shuangxi is gone, you will still torture her by torturing her.
"Get up, since I'm in charge, I won't let go halfway." Yu Zhu comforted the two of them, and finally dismissed them, then rubbed his brows and asked Qin Si to call the person who was sent out to help.
Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu is a rough lady, she has no other abilities, but she is very strong. Some time ago, Yu Zhu was afraid that Tian Feng and his family would suffer, so he specially sent a few powerful rough ladies there. Now he has it.
Someone who knows.
Mrs. Hu, who was full of flesh and blood, had a clear mind and cleared the matter without Yu Zhu asking. In fact, she had been preparing for the return for many days, just waiting for the lady to summon her.
"After the Tian Feng family returned home, they followed the lady's instructions and went to Ding Xiucai's house to make a scene. Within a few days, Ding Xiucai came home angrily." Mrs. Hu chuckled, showing her black and yellow front teeth, "Just to pamper my concubine.
He killed his wife and had a bad family tradition. He was deprived of the qualifications to become a Gongsheng student and take the scientific examination. He thought it was his mother-in-law who was responsible for the trouble. When he returned home, he yelled at Mrs. Tian and killed her. The two children came forward to plead for mercy and were not allowed to eat..."
Seeing Yu Zhu's angry look, Mrs. Hu grinned and waved her hands proudly, "Don't worry, Miss. The official from the Yamen went there not long after that day. He locked the person up and left without saying a word. He said it was Ding.
The scholar was discussing the government affairs indiscriminately, and the servants followed behind to watch the fun. The scholar Ding was cursing at first, and his face turned red and thick when he argued with the Yamen servant.
After being frightened by the court, she immediately became obedient. She would do whatever she was told. She would not dare to go west when asked to go east. She would not dare to give copper coins to him if he was asked to pay money. She would not dare to call him dad if he was asked to call me grandpa..." Mrs. Hu
Thinking of the way the dog-killing man was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, he couldn't help but get excited. He got off topic while talking, and Hua Ruo coughed repeatedly to bring her back to the topic.
"Tian's life is also miserable. Ding Xiucai said that he was a bad guy. When he returned from the county office, he gave her a divorce note. She was not allowed to take anything with her. She pulled her up from the bed and kicked her out. She stood at the door and dropped it for a long time.
Book bag, what's 'jealousy','no
"Xian', I can't remember clearly, and I want to take action in the end..." Mrs. Hu couldn't help but pull up her sleeves, and said bitterly: "I guessed that the black-hearted murderer wanted to do this, so I called the Tian family couple early.
Waiting outside, when I see that
When the dog was about to kick Mr. Tian, the servant stepped forward and kicked the skinny scholar to a full circle. He rolled to the door and groaned... Humph, it was also retribution. The Ding family is now poor.
, I guess there are only a few pieces left except for the small yard.
Clothes and food rations are gone, tsk tsk, Ding Xiucai deserves to be unlucky. He met such a powerful county magistrate. There is a scholar in the village of my servant nephew. He has done all kinds of bad things. Many people went to the county government to complain, but the county magistrate didn't even fart.
…”
"Hua Ruo, take some money to buy some food for Aunt Hu. You are tired from running so many times, but don't talk about it from now on." Yu Zhu said with a faint smile, staring closely with a pair of wonderful eyes.
Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu's rambling talk stopped abruptly, she swallowed, took the money with a smile and stepped back.
"Miss, this matter is difficult to handle. Even if there is a divorce, it is impossible to take away the child, not to mention that sister Shuangxi is still divorced." Zaoyuan opened his eyes and said worriedly.
That's not what Yuzhu was worried about. She had a headache when she thought about the debt she had to repay after asking her eldest brother for help. Huh, he is still his biological brother. He has never been merciless in exploiting her needlework. Isn't it just a small favor? It's actually a lion.
Asking for a whole set of t-shirts, why should you be so deceitful? It's all your fault, second brother, why show off when you have nothing to do? The unlucky one is you.
"What's there to worry about? Aren't the Ding family very poor now? You can go and find Wang Yapo, who is commonly used by our family to buy maids, and ask her to bring some money to buy someone. After the matter is done, we can
Don't worry about Ding Xiucai being entangled anymore, just do it neatly." Yu Zhu told Zaoyuan nonchalantly, picked up the needle in his hand and prepared to sew Lin Zongyan's clothes. Just as he lowered his head, he suddenly remembered something and murmured: "Black people
It needs to be darker." After that, he shouted back to Zaoyuan, who had already walked to the door, and warned: "Ask Wang Yapo to buy back the wife, and don't forget to tell the news that Ding Xiucai sold his son and daughter in order to support his concubine.
If it comes out, his reputation as a scholar will be completely ruined."
After hearing this, Zaoyuan's eyes lit up, she happily agreed and ran out.
Nothing Yu Zhu did could be hidden from Cui. When Cui heard the news from Liu's mother later that night, Rao had just served her mother-in-law from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion for a day, and she was very tired.
Still couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Madam, I have really grown up, and my skills are no less than yours. You can rest assured even if you get married in the future." Mother Liu helped Cui remove the hairpin ring with her hands and feet, smiling all over her face.
Ms. Cui took a deep breath, spread her long hair and sunk deeply into the thick and soft pillow, and said with a smile: "This child is still a little young, he is just a little scholar, what does it matter? Just move your fingers.
Crushed to death." Xiuyue knelt on the ground and squeezed her legs with moderate strength. She also laughed when she heard this: "Mother Liu, please don't listen to Mrs. Liu's modesty. In fact, Mrs. Liu is happy."
Mother Liu sleeved her hands and said with a smile: "I'm not that old and stupid yet. I can't see it anywhere."
"Originally, there are many ways to deal with a young scholar, but what if you deal with your husband and his wife and concubines in the back house? I wonder if that girl can be ruthless and control her own heart."
Mrs. Cui raised her hand to rub her temples and closed her eyes tiredly, "There is not much time left. I am afraid that my Zhu Yatou will be engaged in April or May, and it will not be easy to meet again then.
"The circles under my eyes were red before I finished speaking.
Mother Liu sighed, but didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only stay by her side silently.
Yuzhu didn't know what kind of struggles Cui was going through with her motherly heart. She was busy making a dessert to comfort her mother who had been working so hard recently. She had also been to the Hou Mansion to visit the old lady, so she knew the fatigue involved.
, not only have to serve tea and water, but also have to endure Shi's temper, which has become increasingly unstable after the disease. When something was smashed in front of his face, he could only smile and serve another bowl, but he couldn't even show an impatient look.
, it is really a kind of torture. Fortunately, I can come back in the evening, which is better than waiting for Fan who is not available at the bedside all day long.
Since the separation, Yu Zhu has been cooking more frequently. Now he kicked out the mothers in the small kitchen as usual, laid out the dishes and stone bowls, and rolled up his sleeves.
Let’s start: Boil and chop the carefully selected peanut kernels, grind them together with the soaked glutinous rice into a very fine pulp, Atractylodes macrocephala, Codonopsis pilosula, Poria cocos and Zhigancao have been taken out from the warehouse and washed.
Now, you just need to slice them and grind them into fine powder, boil them in water and get the juice for later use. Then you can count ten good red golden jujubes, steam them in a basket, remove the skins and cores, knead them into a fine paste, and then put them in a pot.
In a small casserole, add a bowl of goat's milk boiled with almonds, sugar, and concoction. After the milk boils, slowly pour in the slurry. Stir until it becomes a thick sauce. Finally, add the date puree and mix well. Close the lid and wait.
Once cooked, a sweet peanut cheese will be ready.
Seeing the snow-white and delicate peanut butter under the bowl, Mrs. Cui felt that the pain all over her body and the turbid air accumulated in her chest had completely dissipated. She hugged Yuzhu and smiled very satisfied. Mother and daughter, you take one bite and I finish the bowl.
The peanut cheese was eaten cleanly, and the eyes were red in the end. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
