Chapter 186: And Lu
Because of her curiosity about the Chen family, Zhou Mingshan asked Hongyun to inquire in private.
"That Mrs. Chen is the only daughter in the family, and she was raised almost in front of boys since she was a child...... Her father was a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, so he settled in the capital and did not return to Shandong. Later, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen died one after another, and Mrs. Chen and the younger brother who passed away were not close, and Lord Zhao had been in a foreign position, so he never returned to the capital......"
I see, Zhou Mingshan nodded while listening.
I think it's because my grandfather's old Chen was in Hanlin Academy, and my mother and Mrs. Chen would get acquainted.
It's also a surprise that my mother has someone to talk to.
Right now, she wants to concentrate on dealing with Uncle Xin's affairs, and she doesn't know where Mu Yuting hid Uncle Xin?
She called Mama Ann to inquire about the news from the new house.
"Is Mu Shizi used to living?"
That house was originally prepared for Frangipani, and she wanted her to have a place to live after she left the country, but it was just a small courtyard house, and it was not conspicuous, and it was not far from the Hou Mansion.
She handed over the matter of arranging Mu Yuting's check-in to Mama An.
"The prince said it was good, and he didn't ask for anything else. Mama An replied.
"What about Uncle Zhang?"
"Only Uncle Zhang was left, as the girl expected. Shizi said that there was no need for so many people, just let Uncle Zhang help do some work to sweep the door. β
Zhou Mingshan nodded, thoughtful.
In this way, her guess was conformed, and Mu Yuting really didn't want people to know.
Uncle Zhang is old, and he is mute, and he will certainly not harm him.
When Mama An asked her if the people serving in the house wanted to stay, she only said Uncle Zhang and the other family.
But in this way, Uncle Xin's affairs are even more difficult to handle, how can Mu Yuting find out the news of Uncle Xin if there is no one around her?
"In this way, you let Leping go over more often when he is free, in case the prince needs anything. You can also help!" She paused, looked at Mama An and said word by word, "Besides, Mu Shizi is in a special situation now, if there is anything wrong, we can also detect it earlier." So I must let Leping pay close attention to it, and report any abnormalities!"
She didn't tell Aunt Xin about it, and it wasn't that she didn't trust her, but she subconsciously felt safer.
Mama An was stunned for a moment, and then responded solemnly. "The old slave understands!"
Although she used to be decent in the Xianguo Mansion, but now that she is by Zhou Mingshan's side, she seems to be more comfortable, since she has changed her master, of course she has to think about the current master.
While Zhou Mingshan was busy inquiring about the news, the Western Expeditionary Army finally got the news, saying that it would return in seven days.
Of course, those who have relatives in the family who participated in this war can't help but be happy, not only because of the safe return of their relatives, but more importantly, because of the reward.
Of course, for most of the female dependents in the capital, the most important thing is the subsequent draft. The date has been set, and it is the tenth day of the ninth month.
not only enriches the harem, but also gives marriage to some meritorious generals.
No matter what the purpose is, Zhou Mingshan himself can't avoid it.
As the draft time gets closer and closer, she can't help but feel a little worried.
There is no news from the concubine Niangniang there yet, what is the situation?
She really wanted to go into the palace again to ask, but every time in the end, she forced down that impulse.
Most of the people in the palace are patient and good at kung fu, and they all pay attention to slow and methodical, plan and then act. After a long time, of course, those stunned young people can't please them. It doesn't matter if it's the master or the subordinate.
It was precisely because she knew such a taboo that she did not dare to act rashly, she was afraid that because of her impulsiveness, she would provoke the dislike of the concubine or ruin her plans.
The process of patience is long and painful. Just like the days when she was in Kannon Nunnery in her previous life.
Fortunately, she didn't put all her hopes on Concubine Ning alone.
However, she didn't want to use that method unless she had toβit was too bad to have half the stake!
August 22 is the fifteenth birthday of Zhou Mingluo, the second girl in the long room.
Because Zhou Mingluo has always been determined to participate in the draft, Wen's is not very enthusiastic about her etiquette.
Her original plan was to wait for the uncle to come back at the end of the year to report on his work, if she could stay in the capital. In March next year, the three families will be together, and it will be lively and lively.
But Zhou Mingluo disagreed, this may be her last birthday at home, if she doesn't do it, she won't have a chance in the future.
Therefore, he insisted on grinding the Wen family to agree, and also invited the little county lord of the Ning'an County Mansion to be a praiser.
"What do you mean by the second girl, even if the eyes are on the top of the head, you can't do this......!
Hongyun was very dissatisfied with Zhou Mingluo's approach, and couldn't help but nag a few words when reporting the news.
Zhou Mingshan smiled, "What about them, their mouths grow on others, can you still stop them?"
It's just that she invited outsiders to be praisers, and she won't take anything stricter than this.
If she was in her previous life, maybe she would really jump because of this incident, but in this life, she can't be moved.
Hongyun pouted, "But people will definitely not say that the second girl is not, but will guess if there is something wrong with you and the third girl, after all, you are in that situation, and when the time comes, it will be ...... kiss."
Hongyun said, his voice lowered, and he obviously realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Mingshan was a little funny, but she pretended to reprimand with a straight face, "What are you talking about, if you are so open-mouthed, be careful of your tongue!"
"Yes, girl, the maid remembered!" Hongyun glanced at her secretly, saw the corners of her mouth curled, and made a grimace and retreated.
Knowing that Hongyun is also for his own good, Zhou Mingshan's heart is warm.
After returning from rebirth, her gentle and kind mother is still there, with lovely younger siblings, and these considerate girls by her side, what is she not satisfied with?
Thinking of this, she looked at the small camphor wood box at the foot of the bed.
There were things given to her by her second cousin Yuan Zheng, including the round jade pendant.
She took a deep breath and tried to get the past out of her mind.
Although he has the name of retiring from his family, as long as he passes the draft, it should not be difficult to find a suitable person at that time.
However, the second sister's trick is unexpectedly similar to Jia Xinyi.
Didn't Jia Xinyi ask her to be the praiser of the ceremony?
It's a pity that because of the incident in Jia Qing's outer room, coupled with the continuous impeachment in the court, Jia Xinyi's ceremony was not completed after all. (To be continued.) )
