Zhu saw Yao Chongming's cold face, thinking that he had just come from Xiao Miao's yard, and Xiao Miao was afraid that he had given himself eye medicine in front of Yao Chongming again, so he pretended to be generous and said: "Why did the master come over so late today? Why didn't you stay in the courtyard of your younger brother and sister to rest?" Not only did Xiao Miao feel awkward, but even Zhu didn't like to be called such a name, but she would rather be called sister-in-law than a woman who was more than ten years older than herself.

Yao Chongming still had a cold face, and said lightly: "You have sent people to urge so many times, can I not come?"
Zhu shouted wronged, "Where is the concubine body to urge people, today just when the lights are lit, someone came over to spread the word, saying that the master is going to rest in Xiya Courtyard, let the concubine body not wait!
Yao Chongming thought that it was estimated that two women made it out in order to compete for favor, as for who was true and who was fake, he didn't bother to care, just thinking that the woman who usually behaved extremely generously would still be jealous for herself, Yao Chongming felt proud, and his face was much better, "Xu is the subordinate who saw me go over there in order to get a reward, so he came to report the news on his own initiative!"
Seeing that Yao Chongming deliberately didn't mention this matter, Zhu also said with interest: "I'll just say how to look at that mother-in-law's eyes, it turns out that she wasn't sent by the master to spread the word at all!" Zhu deliberately said that the person who reported the news was sent by Yao Chongming, to show that he was not suing Xiao Miao's situation.
Yao Chongming said: "There are only a few people I often send to pass the word, you know them, and when you see the eye again, you can directly take a beating board, and then throw it out!"
"Yes! The concubine's body has been written down!" Zhu saw that Yao Chongming's face softened, and there was a faint sense of joy, so he asked again: "What happy events has the master had recently?"
Yao Chongming's heart tightened, and he hurriedly restrained his expression, "It's nothing, it's just that I have been praised for my errand recently, and I may be promoted next year!"
Zhu Shi saw that Yao Chongming was guarding against himself, and he was even more sure that he had just discussed something with the person in the second room, otherwise why hide it from himself? After all, he was still inferior to that person in his heart, in the end, because he did not give birth to a son, he was a little lonely when he thought about it, but his face was full of joy, and said: "This is a good thing! No wonder the old man is red!" said, and deliberately made a jealous appearance and said: "I thought that the old man had recently gained some confidante and forgot about such an old person as a concubine?" ”
Yao Chongming saw that Zhu's face was shy, compared to Xiao Miao's charm, he loved Zhu's young and delicate more, and the desire that had just been suppressed came up again, rubbed Zhu's waist, and pressed down on the couch.
Seeing that Yao Chongming was emotional, Zhu deliberately hung his appetite, and his body flexibly drilled out from under Yao Chongming's armpit, and said angrily: "The concubine has already ordered someone to prepare hot water, so the master should go to the bath first!"
Yao Chongming saw that Zhu's neckline was slightly open, revealing the peach-colored underwear inside, thinking that if it was in the water, it must have another taste, so he pulled Zhu to the clean room, and Zhu couldn't earn it, so he half-pushed and half-obeyed him.
Yao Chongming and Zhu had an intimate relationship in the clean room, and when they saw that the water was already cold, they hurriedly washed their bodies and returned to the bed to lie down.
Zhu thought about what Yao Chongming had just said about the promotion, so he asked, "I don't know what position the master will move to next year, and whether he will stay in the Ministry of Industry?"
Yao Chongming thought that if he married Yao Keqing, he would be able to get closer to the Dai family, and with the care of Dai Shangshu, of course, it would be better to stay in the Ministry of Industry, "Of course, I still stay in the Ministry of Industry! Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry is going to be transferred to another position, and I may be able to be promoted to Zuo Shilang!"
Zhu's heart moved, the Yao family and the Dai family have become enemies, the old man is eager to leave the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible, in the past two years, the Yao family has been moving around, just to transfer him out of the Ministry of Industry, but unfortunately it didn't work out. Now that he has the opportunity to leave the Ministry of Industry, how can he be willing to stay in the Ministry of Industry, there must be a problem with this, "That's really a good thing, the old man is a four-grade official at a young age, and when the time comes, our family will have to hold a banquet and invite relatives and friends!"
Yao Chongming was proud in his heart, but his face was very humble, "What are you talking about? This is something that has not yet been decided, where can it be accurate! Don't mention it again!"
Zhu Shijiao said with a smile: "With the master's talent, this must be accurate! Maybe he can be promoted to other ministries and offices, go to other ministries and offices for a few more years, and get the blue eyes of the saints, and then he can enter Shangshu Province!"
Yao Chongming was flattered by the Zhu family, thinking about what kind of scenery it would be when he entered Shangshu Province, where to see Dai Shangshu's face. Thinking that he is still relying on the Dai family, he still has to stay in the Ministry of Industry, with Yao Keqing's relationship, and with the care of Dai Shangshu, it is easier to make political achievements, "I don't want to go to other ministries, the Ministry of Industry is the head of the Dai family, and the Dai family is a relative to us, and there is also a care!"
Hearing Yao Chongming's words, Zhu thought to himself that the matter that Yao Chongming discussed with Xiao Miao today must have something to do with the Dai family, "I don't know if my aunt will come back in the first month of next year? I haven't seen my aunt and grandmother since I got married!"
Yao Chongming said: "It will definitely come!" After speaking, he found that he had lost his words, afraid that Zhu would guess that his mother and himself wanted to give Yao Keqing to the Dai family, and he was unhappy and ruined, so he explained: "The Yao family is her maiden family, how can there be a reason not to come back!"
Seeing that Yao Chongming was already suspicious, Zhu Shi hurriedly diverted the topic, "What I said is that the concubine is a concubine who has no mother's family to rely on, and every year she follows Sister Qing and Brother Shen to Fang's house, and she feels envious when she looks at it!
Yao Chongming saw that Zhu's expression was a little lonely, thinking that her mother's family was gone, and she had no children under her knees, and she wanted to get closer to Yao Keqing's sister and brother, and please Yao Keqing a lot, it was not for nothing, he was angry with her just now for this matter, it really shouldn't be, so he softened his tone and said: "Sister Qing doesn't care about anyone, you don't have to deliberately please her, it's not too short for her to be useful, anyway...... Anyway, she won't have anything to worry about in the future!"
Zhu was a little surprised, when did she please Yao Keqing, since she was taught a hard lesson by Yao Keqing in the summer, now she is avoiding her, and she easily does not dare to meet her, where did she come from? Could it be that Xiao Miao said something to the master, so that the master mistakenly thought that he was currying favor with her? But what was the purpose of Xiao Miao's words? And what did the master want to say at the moment when he just paused? Why don't he have to worry about her in the future? Zhu couldn't help but associate this matter with Yao Chongming's change of attitude towards the Dai family, so he said tentatively: "How can I say that I am also Sister Qing's mother, seeing that the child is always lonely and alone, I can't help but feel a little pity!"
Yao Chongming said: "Sister Qing is such a character, you don't have to pay attention to it, she is raised with good food and drink, and she will marry in two years." It's Brother Shen, you have to worry more about it in the future, maybe you have been with Sister Qing for a long time, but you have become a little dull and don't like to talk anymore, you should spend more time on Brother Shen!"
When Yao Keqing was going to get married, Yao Chongming's tone was so natural, but he didn't mention that he wanted his mother to see it for her, Zhu estimated that the matter discussed by Yao Chongming and Xiao Miao today was Yao Keqing's family matter, and he would have to inquire about it tomorrow. The important thing now is to use Yao Chongming's mouth to win Yao Qishen to his side, "The concubine also wants to be closer to him, but Brother Shen only follows Sister Qing every day, and the concubine is not good at separating the two children!"
Yao Chongming twisted his eyebrows and said: "You are their mother, can they still not listen to you?"
Zhu Shixi said: "So you have to bother the master, although the concubine feels that the boy is not good to mess around in the inner courtyard, but she can't open this mouth, now that the master has spoken, Brother Shen must be listening!"
Yao Chongming said: "That's natural, if he doesn't listen to my words as a father?"
Zhu smiled and talked to Yao Chongming for a while, then fell asleep, and the next day, after sending Yao Chongming away, Zhu asked Chunxiang to inquire about the news.
Chunxiang didn't come back until after Zhu's nap, and Zhu hurriedly asked, "But what did you hear?"
Chunxiang nodded, "The slave maid heard that the old lady sent someone to send a letter to the aunt and grandmother who married into the Dai family, and the aunt also replied, and the old lady looked at the aunt's reply and was very happy!"
Zhu asked again, "Is there anything else?"
Chunxiang shook her head, "There is nothing else, it's just that the subordinates are all rumoring that my aunt and grandmother will definitely come back in the first month of next year, and the old lady is ordering people to buy the food for my aunt's family!"
Zhu said: "It seems that I guessed correctly!"
Haruka was curious: "What did Madam guess correctly?"
Zhu has never hidden anything from Chunxiang, and told her everything, which is in exchange for Chunxiang's loyalty, and Zhu naturally wants to tell Chunxiang about this, "Do you know why the old lady is so sure that her aunt and grandmother will come back?"
Seeing Chunxiang shaking her head, Zhu said again: "Nine times out of ten, the old lady wants to give the second lady to the second young master of the Dai family, so as to repair the relationship with the Dai family, so that Dai Shangshu can treat the master differently!"
Chunxiang was taken aback, "Madame is the mother of the second miss, how can they cross the madam's to marry the second miss?"
Zhu sneered: "I'm just a stepmother! The old lady is her own grandmother, why can't she marry the second lady?"
Haruka asked, "Does the second lady know about this?"
Zhu smiled: "She naturally doesn't know, she knows how to sit idly by!"
Haruka asked cautiously, "Isn't Madam going to tell Second Miss?"
Zhu Shi covered his mouth and smiled, smiling extremely happily, "Why should I tell her? Without her suppression, what am I afraid of? When she is engaged, the third young master will naturally be closer to me!" Zhu thought about his plan, and suddenly became a little proud. I'm afraid of you, I can't calculate you, I have someone else to deal with you!
