Chapter 525 One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer
Xinghui Courtyard is not the main house of the Lu family, so the courtyard is naturally not very big.
However, the vegetation is suitable, the camellias are abundant, and there is a tea table in the pavilion for enjoying the shade. The warm sunshine falls and illuminates half of the courtyard brightly. It looks comfortable and leisurely. The first impression is that of spring and the passing of time.
Be quiet.
At this time, Wang Xiuzheng and the prince were sitting in the pavilion, playing checkers in their hands, looking like their own mother and son.
When Wang Xiu saw them coming, he said to Lu Yunzhu: "Set another table and greet the two girls with tea. Forget about the false courtesy."
Lu Yunzhu happily agreed and ordered his subordinates to set up another table for them.
Mei Min and Xu Yanxin looked at each other and went together to greet the prince.
The prince raised his head, looked at Xu Yan and said in his heart: "I know you. My stepmother took me to your house."
"Your yard is very beautiful and big. I will build a yard as big as that for my stepmother in the future, and then I can play there."
Xu Yanxin smiled and said: "It's hard for Your Highness to remember that that is the blessing of our Xu family."
The prince smiled sheepishly. He looked at Mei Min and thought about it. It seemed like he had seen it before, but it seemed like he hadn't.
Then he looked at Wang Xiu with pleading eyes, and Wang Xiu reminded: "This lady's surname is Mei..."
The prince suddenly realized: "Is it from the Grand Master's Mansion?"
Mei Min knelt down and saluted, and replied: "His Royal Highness, I am the third girl of the Mei family, Mei Min."
The prince said, "You have to call me aunt. Aunt Mei, go over there and play. Don't worry about me."
Mei Min froze in embarrassment. She felt that the prince didn't like her. But she would be the prince's stepmother in the future, and she felt very uncomfortable.
But Xu Yanxin just wanted to say goodbye and run away. She immediately took Mei Min's hand and said to the prince, "Thank you, Your Highness. Let's go play then."
Mei Min squeezed her fingers but did not shake Xu Yanxin's hand away. She felt that Xu Yanxin was like a fool. Such a person could not be a queen. She didn't know what her mother was worried about?
The table next to it has been set up, and Lu Yunzhu happily suggested: "Let's play cards. My sister-in-law made us a pair of jade cards. It feels cold to the touch and is very fun."
Xu Yanxin asked expectantly: "Is it a leaf card?"
Lu Yunzhu said: "It's almost the same, but it's easier to touch than the leaf cards."
Mei Min's mind was still on the prince. She saw that the checkers played by Wang Xiu was very simple, so she took the initiative to step forward and said: "The day after tomorrow is the wedding of the second sister. My sister-in-law must be busy with a lot of things. Why don't you come to me?"
Come and accompany His Highness the Crown Prince, I will do it too."
Wang Xiu indeed has a lot of things to be busy with, and he is also thinking about how to get out of it?
She then looked at the prince and asked, "Is it okay?"
Although the prince was reluctant, he still nodded and did not forget to ask: "Then will you paint for me tonight?"
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "Of course, how can adults deceive children?"
The prince immediately said happily: "Then you go and do your work. Aunt Mei can accompany me."
Wang Xiu stood up and gave up his seat. Mei Min sat down and started playing chess with the prince. She seemed calm and there was nothing wrong with her.
Wang Xiu went to see Yunzhu and Xu Yanxin again and said, "You go and accompany Yunyuan. Let her play with you and ask a maid to accompany you. That's enough."
Four people fit into a table.
After Lu Yunzhu and Xu Yanxin heard this, they thought it was a good idea and left.
Wang Xiu occupied their table, and people from the outer courtyard came to talk and ask for instructions, and people from other mansions came to ask questions... At once, he sent away more than a dozen waiting women. During this period, he acted in an orderly and decisive manner, even Mei Min
Everyone has to admire it.
But because she was distracted, she soon lost to the prince.
When the prince was cleaning up the chessboard, she still looked like she couldn't believe it until Wang Xiudao said, "It's okay. I lose often. The prince is very talented and has a high talent for layout."
Mei Min blushed suddenly, because she felt that Wang Xiu was trying to make up for her by saying that he had lost too.
And she would lose to a child, which she never expected.
But what she didn't expect was that Wang Xiu asked the prince to settle the accounts for her.
After throwing an account book over, she drank tea nearby.
The prince was very happy, settling accounts and reporting on the progress.
She suddenly felt that the prince was too easy to fool.
And Wang Xiu, how could she instruct the prince to do such a thing?
However, there were two mistakes in the prince's account report. Wang Xiu pointed them out without even looking at them.
The prince recalculated and found that it was indeed the case. He had to correct his attitude and become serious.
Mei Min, who watched the prince's calculation from beginning to end, did not notice the mistake. She stayed in place blankly. When she looked at Wang Xiu again, her original contempt was gone.
At this time, Wang Xiu, who was not busy, was sitting on the recliner, leaning back as if no one else was around, closing her eyes and concentrating. If it weren't for the fan in her hand, which was swaying lightly and lightly, maybe even she would have thought that this was just a man in the back house.
, a woman who relies solely on her family and husband to live a stable life, right?
However, what really shocked her was how many people in the outside world looked down on Wang Xiu?
They once thought that Wang Xiu was just born well, had good luck, and married a good husband.
But I never thought that the real good thing was her and nothing else.
When the prince finished calculating the account book, a proud smile filled his little face. He patted the account book and said, "I know everything!"
Wang Xiu hugged him, raised him high and hugged him, and couldn't hide his happiness and said: "This is really great, you can help me in the future, it's great."
Mei Min: "..."
At this moment, she was confused again. Wasn't Wang Xiu thinking that the prince would calculate all the accounts for her in the future?
The prince was obviously very happy that he could be of some use, and he nodded with a smile.
Mei Min: "..."
That's all, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
But in this way, she found that the prince was actually very easy to get along with.
At this moment, the prince said: "I'm going to play with Chengxi and see my sister."
Wang Xiu said to Mei Min: "Take the prince over, and call Eunuch Hua by the way. With him here, others will not dare not listen to orders."
Mei Min was flattered and could hardly believe that Wang Xiu would give her the job of taking care of the children?
"Me?"
Wang Xiudao: "They all went to play, what do you think? You didn't leave just now, so I thought you wanted to share my worries?"
He said with a sad look.
Mei Min knew that Wang Xiu was promoting her, so she quickly said: "Okay, I will take His Royal Highness over."
Wang Xiu touched the prince's little face and warned: "Go with your Aunt Mei and ask Eunuch Hua to take care of you and play. My foster mother will pick you up later, okay?"
The prince nodded and took the initiative to hand his hand to Mei Min.
The moment she held the prince's little hand, the soft touch instantly spread from the palm of her hand to Mei Min's heart. Such a small child... and his biological mother was so pitiful.
She held the little hands and led him out.
Hua Zimo came to greet her outside the door, followed by a palace maid, who was very courageous and looked directly at her.
Mei Min felt strange, why did this person... look a bit like Wang Xiu?
I didn't notice it just now, but now that I realize it, I feel a little strange.
Huazimo knew the reason and accompanied them there.
Mei Min looked at the palace maid calmly and found that her eyes were always looking around, and she was not behaved.
She suddenly felt that there must be something wrong with this palace maid, so she wanted to find an opportunity to ask Hanako Mo.
But thinking of this, and worrying that Hua Zimo would think she was meddling in palace affairs, he hesitated.
