Chapter Twenty-Nine: Grandma Jin
Yuan Zheng sneered and said, "Master, I look at you as if a tiger is coming, even if Grandma Jin comes back, she can't control your head, so you have to disgrace my master?"
Qing'er lowered her head in shame, their four boys, Zhuang, Qing, Geng, and Kang, are generally old, and now they are the most useful personal servants around the master, speaking of which, Mama Jin is just a subordinate in the house like them, wouldn't he make the master a head shorter in front of his wife?
But it would be impossible for them not to take Mama Jin in their eyes, the four of them, Zhuang'er and he were the domestic slaves of the Yuan family, Geng'er and Kang'er were sold into the house by Lao Tzu Niang when they were four or five years old, and they were all taught by Mama Jin before serving the master.
Think about who didn't cry dad and call mother by Mama Jin back then, and who didn't scold the "dead old woman" in private? But now they can have this kind of talent, and they can get praise from others when they walk out of the Yuan Mansion, in fact, most of them also benefit from Mama Jin's training, and everyone still has a little gratitude in their hearts, and there is also a little respect in their hearts.
Yuan Zheng couldn't see Qing'er's careful thoughts, he reached out and took the secret letter on the table and threw it into the carbon basin on the side, and the thin paper disappeared in an instant.
"Tonight I will go back to the inner courtyard to rest, and the few of you will sort out and classify the official documents and letters sent by the gentlemen according to the rules, and clean the study, and I will deal with it after I return from the yamen tomorrow. Yuan Zheng Chao Qing'er gave a few words and slowly walked out of the study.
※※※※
The arrival of Mama Jin made Gu Chao, who had been depressed for a long time, suddenly brighten, and when she learned that Mama Jin had entered the inner courtyard, she hurriedly reshaped her makeup in the mirror and went out, and the situation was like a milk swallow returning to the nest.
I haven't seen her for more than a year, and Mama Jin, who appeared in front of everyone, is still so energetic and radiant, her hair is neat and messy, her clothes are not wrinkled at all, and she has a dignified and decent smile on her face.
However, in Mama Jin's eyes, today's Gu Dynasty can simply be described as bad, with a random head on his head, a haggard complexion, untidy makeup, a dull color of homely clothes, and a messy gait exposed by the whole person, if it weren't for his beautiful appearance, he wouldn't be too old, he would be unsightly at all.
She bowed solemnly to Gu Chao, who could hardly help but pounce on her: "The old slave is back, greet Madame." ”
An Ran's solemn voice made Gu Chao instantly become steady, and his unconscious state of the whole person also underwent earth-shaking changes, his chin was slightly raised and his back was straight, with a hint of arrogance in his dignified elegance, as if he had changed back to the noble girl who was envied by everyone in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Mama Jin nodded with satisfaction, and the two walked into the main room of Chaoyun Courtyard hand in hand.
"Miss, why did you become like this, what happened in the mansion after the old slave left for more than a year?" After sending the maids out, Mama Jin no longer had the slightest scruple to call Gu Chao "Miss", and she couldn't wait to ask her what had happened in more than a year immediately.
Jin Mama entered the palace at the age of ten, and when she was twelve years old, her hometown was flooded, and she completely lost contact with her family since then, until she got the news that her mother was still alive and seriously ill more than a year ago, and before she took leave from her master, Gu Chao arranged for her to visit her mother's carriage and horse servants, who would have thought that this would be more than a year, until she arranged her mother's funeral before she rushed back.
Gu Chao leaned into Mama Jin's warm embrace, and couldn't help sobbing loudly anymore.
"Mama, are you back...... Xiang'er was sent away...... Yuan Zheng brought back a wild child...... My mother-in-law also said that if I can't conceive a child within a year, I will take a concubine for Yuan...... How long has it been since Yuan Zhengdu has been to Chaoyun Temple...... When will I be able to go home......" She said while crying, her sentences were incoherent, and Mama Jin, who was shrewd, was also confused.
"Miss, say slowly, Mama is here, and I will never leave you again. Mama Jin took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped her tears for Gu Chao, her voice was calm and soft, warm and heartwarm, which seemed to give people a strong sense of comfort.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Gu Chao to gradually stop crying, although she still rested her head on Mama Jin's shoulder, her eyes had already regained clarity.
"Mama, in fact, Yuan Zheng and I have been doing well for more than a year since you left, just a little more than a month ago, Yuan Hui sent a wild child over......" Gu Chao told Mama Jin about the recent incident.
"What? a little girl who looks exactly like you?" Gu Chao said a lot, and the most exciting thing about Mama Jin was undoubtedly this sentence, she has seen countless beauties in her life, and there are not many looks comparable to the Gu family's Shuangshu, not to mention that it is exactly the same, what is the origin of this little girl?
"Miss, what about the child's parents?" Mama Jin immediately asked.
Gu Chao shook his head, "Yuan Zheng said that she has no father or mother, and she was adopted by Yuan Hui since she was a child. She paused and continued with some hesitation: "Mama, I suspected that Yuan Zheng had found an outer room that looked like me......"
"No way, my uncle will never deceive you so far. Mama Jin immediately asserted that she knew very well what kind of person Yuan Zheng was, if she really liked any woman, she would bring it back to the mansion directly, and she would have nothing to say if she accepted a few beautiful concubines in his capacity, even Gu Ge Lao and Mrs. Gu.
"Later, I didn't mess with him, but you don't know, Xiang'er went to treat the disease, Yuan Zheng is not easy to entrust, but it's Xie Min, do you think I can not be angry! That's it, that wild child doesn't know what ** medicine Xiang'er has poured into their mother and son, and Xiang'er likes it very much......" Gu Chao became more and more angry the more he spoke, and his silver teeth were gritted and gurgling.
"So you've been snubbing that kid?" Mama Jin looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and she didn't need to explain that she knew what Gu Chao would do.
Gu Chao heard the disapproval in Mama Jin's words, she raised her slender neck and wondered: "Shouldn't it? My Xiang'er doesn't know where to be taken by the surname Mo to suffer and suffer, why can a wild child of unknown origin come to my house to enjoy a qiē, and get the love of my mother-in-law, my husband's love is not enough, I still have to hold it?"
"Miss, you've almost forgotten all the things Mama taught. Mama Jin stroked her forehead and sighed, the eldest lady has really lived so well in the Yuan family over the years, and she completely forgot what is the most important thing for a woman to sit firmly in the position of being the housewife.
"Mama, do you also think I should be good to that wild child?" Gu Chao still didn't understand.
Mama Jin nodded, "As long as you still want to live with your uncle, you must like what he likes, even if you don't like it in your heart, you have to pretend to like it on your face." It's just a child, and it's not a young woman, what are you anxious about?"
