74. Tea ceremony
Zhu Ninghua waited in horror until Du Xinghuai fell asleep, and only after making sure that the entire puppet was dead did he relax his stiff body.
But even so, Zhu Ninghua didn't dare to sleep too deeply when he fell asleep, for fear that he would sleep too deeply, and he wouldn't know what happened at that time.
Xueru watched the candle go out outside the house, and the whole person quietly stuck to the door, listening carefully to whether there were any strange sounds in the house, as long as there was, she immediately rushed out and knocked Du Xinghuai unconscious.
But fortunately, by the time it was dawn, there was still no movement in the house.
"A few of you, go to the kitchen to prepare some food first, and you can eat when Miss Hui wakes up, and a few of you, go to the kitchen to boil water, and you can use it when Miss Hui washes." ”
Even if the sky was bright, Xueru didn't dare to leave, for fear that she would leave for a while and something would happen.
Du Xinghuai is a soldier, and he is used to getting up early, and when Xueru arranged for someone to cook and boil water, his voice was not lowered, so he woke up Du Xinghuai all of a sudden.
After Du Xinghuai got up, he looked at Zhu Ninghua, who was still sleeping, didn't do anything, got out of bed and got dressed, and opened the door and went out.
"Ah, uncle, why did you wake up?"
As soon as Xueru turned around, she saw Du Xinghuai, and the whole person was startled.
"I'll get up when I wake up," Du Xinghuai didn't feel that Xue Ru's reaction was too big, and after opening his mouth to explain, he ordered, "Your young lady is still sleeping, you should be quiet." ”
"Okay uncle, I see. ”
There is no need for Du Xinghuai to talk about it, Xueru understands it herself.
After Du Xinghuai walked away, Xue Ru immediately entered the house, making sure that her young lady was really asleep and not sleeping because of other things, so she felt much more relieved.
"Xueru, why did you get in?"
Zhu Ninghua heard the voice in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xue Ru, and the whole person immediately woke up, "What about others?"
"Miss is fine, he just went out. ”
Xue Ru knew what Zhu Ninghua was worried about, and opened her mouth to explain.
"Miss, when you go to the tea ceremony, I will leave the Du Mansion and go to the Zhufu Mansion to find the old lady, I will tell them about it, and the old lady will definitely think of a foolproof plan for you at that time, miss, in the next two days, you will work harder, and you must not show flaws?"
"I know. ”
Zhu Ninghua knew the seriousness of this matter better than anyone else, "You should be careful when you leave the Du Mansion and don't let people notice you, you know?"
Xueru understood. ”
The master and servant discussed what to do later, and the servants had already prepared breakfast and brought it in.
Zhu Ninghua and Xue Ru also shut up and didn't continue, just after washing up and changing clothes, Du Xinghuai came back.
"Husband, where did you just go, why didn't I see you?"
Zhu Ninghua took the initiative to ask.
"I just went to the yard for a bit of activity and got up early, so I didn't call you. ”
Du Xinghuai subconsciously lowered his tone and explained.
"You go wash your hands, you can have breakfast, and we'll have to make tea for our mother later." ”
"Good. ”
Du Xinghuai was also thinking about things in his heart, and he wanted his mother to help, so he did not refuse Zhu Ninghua's proposal.
Anyway, Zhu Ninghua is already married to him, so the things that should be known still need to be known, but this kind of thing, how can he explain it clearly to a woman as a big man, this is really too difficult to say, let his mother tell Zhu Ninghua.
Zhu Ninghua sat down to eat, completely unaware of Du Xinghuai's idea.
After the husband and wife finished eating, they asked their subordinates to clean up, and Xueru took the opportunity to retreat with the maids and quietly flowed out of the Du Mansion.
"Why didn't you see the maid next to the lady?"
When the two went to give Du Mu tea, Du Xinghuai suddenly found that Xueru was gone.
"What did the husband say, but Xueru?"
After Zhu Ninghua knew all the maids, only Xueru was not there, and she didn't pretend not to know, which aroused suspicion.
Xueru said that she had some discomfort in her stomach, so I asked her to rest, so she didn't come along. ”
"I see. ”
Du Xinghuai did not doubt it, and nodded to indicate that he knew.
"Mother---
"Mother's ---"
As soon as Du Xinghuai and Zhu Ninghua entered the courtyard, they saw that Du Mu was already sitting on the high hall and waiting, so they opened their mouths and called.
"Hey, come and sit, come and sit. ”
At this moment, Du Mu no longer has the worries and anxieties of last night, and the whole person doesn't seem to have any problems at all, and she can't see that she has a big secret hidden in her heart.
"The daughter-in-law greets her mother, and the mother asks her to drink tea---"
Zhu Ninghua knelt on the cushion, took the tea prepared by the maid early in the morning, respectfully handed it to Du Mu, and said with low eyebrows.
"Hey, good boy, mother will drink ---"
Du Mu happily picked up Zhu Ninghua's tea, drank two sips, took out the red envelope that she had prepared yesterday, and handed it to Zhu Ninghua.
"Good boy, get up, you take this, this is the money your mother gave you to change your mouth. ”
"Thank you, Mother. ”
Zhu Ninghua accepted the red envelope and slowly got up with the support of the maid.
"Ning Hua, since you have married into our Du family, you will be a member of our Du family in the future, remember to give our Du family branches and leaves, and inherit the incense. ”
Du Mu opened her mouth to admonish.
Ning Hua knew. "I wish Ninghua a gentle voice.
"Okay, I've finished the tea, you can go back first if there's nothing to do, I don't have anything to do here, you little couple have a lot of feelings, and my mother doesn't need you here." ”
After saying what should be said, Du Mu didn't keep them, and opened her mouth so that people could go back.
"Lady, you go back first, my mother and I still have something to say, okay?"
Du Xinghuai also wanted his mother to help, so naturally it was impossible to leave like this.
"Good. ”
Zhu Ninghua didn't have any opinions, anyway, she didn't want to be in the same room with Du Xinghuai, their mother and son had something to say, and she was happy not to pretend, so she responded directly at the moment.
"What's the matter? You have a conflict? On the first day of marriage, why don't you spend more time with others?"
Du Mu waited until Zhu Ninghua walked away before asking.
"It's not. ”
When Du Xinghuai saw his new wife last night, he didn't know how happy he was, how could he lose his temper with others?
"My son wants to ask his mother for help. ”
Saying that, Du Xinghuai told Du's mother what happened last night, and then concluded, "Ning Hua has a simple personality, her mother-in-law didn't tell her about these things, and she didn't prepare a small book for her, and I didn't know how to tell her, so I could only ask my mother and Ning Hua to talk about these things." ”
