Chapter 252 Ugly(1/2)
Cheng Xunxun smiled and said: "I didn't see him, so I thanked him outside Cining Palace. I thought that I didn't bring the wet nurse into the palace. I held the baby in my arms. If I had to breastfeed or change diapers, it would be difficult in the palace.
I didn’t dare delay at all.”
Yu Zhu secretly laughed, saying it in such an understatement. In fact, she must not be less anxious than her, otherwise she would not rush to the palace as soon as she could pick up her son, and could not even wait for her to wake up.
Too lazy to expose him, Yu Zhu smiled brightly and said, "Dad, let's eat early."
Cheng Xunxun raised his eyebrows, "Early?"
Yu Zhu was sitting at the table, looking at the pastry that Ruan's mother had recently made, and said casually: "It's just for fun. Brother Xi was born in the morning. I gave him a nickname and barked him in the house."
Cheng Xunxun couldn't deny it. He took the porridge bowl handed over by Yu Zhu, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly: "When brother Xi can eat on the table in the future, will you, a mother-in-law, still make jujube paste and yam cake?"
Soak it in shredded mushroom and chicken porridge and give it to him?"
This person still remembers the embarrassment she had when she panicked on the first day of her wedding...
Yu Zhu blinked, his face not red, and his heart not beating: "Who is so stupid? How could you eat those two things together? One is sweet and the other is salty. Tsk, the taste must be weird."
Cheng Xunxun glanced at her with a half-smile, his extremely dark eyes were like thick black ink that had not yet condensed, and his pupils seemed to swell with this glance.
Yuzhu was a little embarrassed to talk for no reason, so he took a bowl of porridge to cover it up.
When he saw Yu Zhu's slightly pink ears, Cheng Xunxun stopped teasing her, and the two of them ate quietly.
Yin Lian didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart. It was clear that the second master and his wife didn't say anything at this moment, and they didn't even make eye contact, but the two of them seemed to be wrapped in honey, and even the room was filled with a sweet smell, wasn't it?
The sweet fragrance of the honey lotus paste cake made by Ruan's mother is not the floral fragrance of camellia. It is quiet and soft, making those who serve them feel comfortable and tight, and the corners of their mouths can't help but turn up.
.
After Cheng Xunxun had been sent away, Hua Ruo came in and reported: "Madam, the Cai Baokang family wants to see you."
Yu Zhu put down the tea cup and asked Hua Ruo to lead the people in.
Chunyan still looked like a capable daughter-in-law. When she saw Yu Zhu, she smiled and bowed her head to say hello, "Madam is well, please take good care of the second young master. I can't kowtow to the young master in person."
Yu Zhu immediately laughed out loud: "That little guy hasn't even grown a single tooth yet. If he knows anything, you can just pick it up and say it nicely."
Then she asked Hua Ruo to move an embroidered pillar for her to sit on.
After thanking Cai Baokang again and again, he sat down halfway and said why he came: "...I have something to tell you, Madam."
Yu Zhu had already guessed that she must have come here because of something. Hearing this, he smiled and asked what the matter was.
"The concierge just reported that Miss Qiu Wen's family has come, saying that they are asking for help from the wife." Cai Baokang's family frowned, with a look of disgust on his face, "The stench is deadly, and the servants are afraid that they will stop the second master.
So I first stabilized the road and came to ask my wife to make a decision."
"Are you here to seek medical treatment for Qiu Wen's brother?" Yu Zhu asked curiously.
"No, I heard from the mistress that you can smell the stench from across the sedan chair. There must be no one and no ghosts inside. I'm afraid that instead of waiting for death in the village, I might as well try my luck."
The Cai Baokang family member lowered his voice, "Should we drive them back? Farmers are not allowed to go out at will without the master's permission. They definitely don't have anyone's permission to come to the Duke's Mansion this time. Just because of this rule, they don't need to stay. Besides, still
Such a disease could never dirty the door of the Duke's Mansion."
The Qiu Wen family escaped secretly because of their courage and were really not afraid of punishment? Or is it because Qiu Wen's brother's condition is really serious and cannot be delayed any longer?
"Madam, Miss Qiu Wen's family has been brought into the house." A little maid in green clothes raised the curtain from outside and came in, angry and anxious.
"What?" Cai Baokang's family stood up in shock. His wife didn't speak. Who in this house would dare to let in a few people who are not even relatives.
Yuzhu was a little speechless. It was almost clear who this person was. Who else could he be besides Princess Zhuyi?
"The Madam said that people have come all the way here and are making people laugh outside. If you have anything to say, come in and say it." said the little maid Fu Shen.
As soon as Cai Baokang's family left, the maids next to Princess Zhuyi arrived, making them confused and had to ask her to rush to report the news.
The speed is not bad, I heard the news so quickly and sent someone...
Yu Zhu stood up with a smile, "Let's take a look. It's our second room's business after all."
Hua Ruo hurriedly found a jade-patterned brocade feather satin cloak and put it on Yu Zhu, then helped her to Chunxi Residence.
"The second wife came just in time." The princess of Zhuyi was sitting on the Kang drinking tea, looking leisurely and calm. After not seeing her for a few days, the slight depression between her eyebrows had disappeared. She had exquisite makeup, embroidered red clothes, and silk leaves.
, the whole figure seems to be reborn.
"I just heard from my mother that our second young master has just come back from the palace, but is it true?" Before Yu Zhu could answer, she continued with a smile to herself: "I wonder if he has grown up a little bit more.
, she must be more beautiful, can you lift your neck?"
Yuzhu smiled faintly and said lightly: "Brother Xi is asleep." After a pause, she glanced at Princess Zhuyi with a smile: "I heard that you helped me entertain Qiu Wen's family."
"Hey, don't think I'm nosy." Princess Zhuyi said with a smile: "It's really ugly to have several such big people standing at the door. The reputation of Yu Guogong's Mansion is not good, so I will help you get in first.
If my brother's autumn pattern is cured, it will be considered a meritorious deed."
"... You must know that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. My sister eats fast and chants Buddha's name. Although I am not talented, I still have to learn something."
The sister she refers to is Mrs. Xie, and she seems to have adapted well to her stepmother's status.
But Yu Zhu was disgusted by what she heard, and sneered in her heart, Aunt Song's body was still cold.
Originally, I was just lying in bed and couldn't get out of bed, and my husband didn't care. The Xie family had always sent people to take precious medicinal materials to nourish me, but I had been safe and sound. The princess of Zhuyi ordered people to stop those medicines not long ago.
, Aunt Song disappeared soon, because during the Xie family's period of filial piety, she was only hastily buried.
"By the way, bring people in." Princess Zhuyi ordered, and then smiled with Yuzhu: "As you can see, although Qiu Wen is just a roommate, he is not an ordinary one.
The second master has been affectionate since childhood, and he will probably look up to my aunt in the future... From this point of view, she is not too humble, and I can see her."
After a while, a group of people, tall and short, came in. The two older ones at the front should be Qiu Wen's mother-in-law, and the plump woman at the back should be Qiu Wen's sister-in-law. The rest were large and small.
The younger one should have children, well, there are quite a few.
As for Qiuwen's brother Shanchang, he probably won't be able to see anyone at the moment.
"Greetings to Madam Tai, and greetings to Second Madam."
He knelt down sparsely on the ground.
"Get up." Princess Zhuyi waved her hands with a smile, then looked at Yu Zhu.
"Go and invite Miss Qiu Wen." Yu Zhu felt bright and ordered before she could speak.
Soon, Qiu Wen, who was looking anxious, was also brought in.
Not caring about or responding to her father's glance, Qiu Wen looked at Yu Zhu anxiously: "Madam, I am not a slave. I am not a slave..."
"I know you haven't." Yu Zhu pretended not to see Princess Zhuyi's playful look and said directly: "It's your brother who is sick and asked for help."
This kind of trivial fact is really not painful, although it is a bit embarrassing...but how much is face worth?
It's over, it's over, since she believed in Cheng Xunxun's thoughts, has she become a little more confident...
After leading the people out of Chunxi Residence, Yu Zhu simply ignored them, left the troubles to Qiu Wen, and returned to Qingfu Courtyard - Brother Xi must have woken up.
After sending Yu Zhu off respectfully, Qiu Wen suddenly frowned and said angrily: "Dad, why are you here?"
Fortunately, my wife didn't blame her for leaving Zhuangzi and coming to the Duke's mansion so rashly, otherwise she would just be walking around without food.
"You girl, why are you talking to your father?" Mrs. Hua was looking at the furnishings and gorgeous carvings in the mansion, but she suddenly received a scolding from her daughter, and she immediately became unhappy.
Qiu Wen's sister-in-law is a bit plump and has a fierce temper. She relies on her family's wealth and is very prestigious in her husband's family. But now she is polite and kind. With a smile on her face, she supports Hua and urges her: "Mom, don't be angry."
, Auntie didn’t mean that... we didn’t say a word when we came over, she was taken aback. It’s so easy to come here, let’s talk properly.”
Her abacus was crackling, and it was very clear that her family had been stabbed in the back in Zhuangzi. Life was already difficult, and this time she sneaked out, and there was no way out. She must behave well and see if she can
I beg my wife for mercy so that my family can find a job in the Duke's Mansion and settle down...
Later, the eldest girl was sent to the inner courtyard to become a maid, the eldest son was sent to the accounting office to help, and then the younger brothers and sisters were slowly supported... and the family survived.
He glanced at a fair-skinned woman wearing an apricot-colored thin coat who was standing a little further away, and snorted sharply from her nose.
Qiu Wen's father also had a hesitant look on his face, but he still pointed at his daughter to live her life. He didn't want to scold her at will. He just moved his shoulders with an air of dignity and said slowly: "Da Ni'er, you are rich, and you can't let your parents do it."
It's not okay to be poor in the village at such an old age. In the past, we, the old couple, could do anything and not cause you any trouble, but what happened to your brother is getting worse and worse. It's not good to see him so helpless.
Come on, you are just such a brother."
Qiu Wen's face turned pale and blue, and slowly turned red. He trembled his lips and said, "I am rich. Who said I am rich..."
"It's not kind to hide and tuck in. In the second master's room of the Duke's Mansion, as soon as you give birth to a son and a half, you will become the master immediately. My aunt must work harder." Qiu Wen's sister-in-law, Li, winked ambiguously.
He rolled his eyes.
In her opinion, giving birth to a child is an easy task, but this aunt is still too useless.
"My aunt is evil and won't give me food to eat." The little girl who was holding on to Li's clothes clenched her fists and shouted at Qiu Wen.
"Okay, even if that's the case, then I'm not... either an aunt, or a maid, so I won't be able to accommodate you." Qiu Wen was about to burst into tears. If the second master knew about it, he might not know what he would think.
.
The little maid sent away by Princess Zhuyi to report the news smiled gracefully and said, "Isn't it true that unruly people come out of poor mountains and harsh waters? They really regard the Duke's Mansion as their village."
"Master, you have a good plan." Yu's mother squeezed Princess Zhuyi's shoulders and said with a smile, "It can be useful if you just do it casually."
It's okay not to take him in, but to rush back directly or give him a punishment. After all, the Qiu Wen family did leave Zhuangzi without the master's permission, and the master's punishment is justified. But if he was taken into the Duke's Mansion, it shows that the master
If you don't blame the family, trouble will arise...
