84. Concealment

Zhao Jia's face tensed, and he rubbed it with cold hands for a long time, but he couldn't make his stiff face become relaxed.

Since she married into Prince Yi's mansion, she has experienced countless crises large and small. Every time, the prince handed over the backyard to her, and she never disappointed the prince. But this time, she really knew what despair and fear were.

Her hand kept slapping on her face, but it shook more and more, and in an instant, a thousand possible outcomes poured out in her mind, almost breaking her sanity.

A pot of orchids on the windowsill, with slender and graceful branches and leaves stretched diagonally, hangs a white bud, quietly waiting for the right time to bloom. Zhao Jiashi, who loves orchids the most, suddenly felt extremely dazzling.

"Come on, bring me this pot of flowers, far away." Zhao Jia's abnormal color made the maids at a loss, and someone hurriedly moved the flowers.

"Master, do you want to change a pot, another pot of white silver lanterns has just been hung." Recently, Zhao Jia's likes white orchids, so the maid has this question.

"Get out, get out of here." When Zhao Jia's blood surged up when he heard the white words, his eyes were filled with blood, and this glance only scared the seven souls of the maid away.

"Also, get all the white flowers in the yard for me." Zhao Jiashi took a deep breath and slowly adjusted her feelings, she couldn't get out of control like this, if the news leaked out, who knew what the people in the backyard would do with the situation. The palace is Hongyun's, no one should think about it, and they can't take a second look.

Since Daiyu couldn't smell the spices, she couldn't eat meat and fishy food. The kitchen got the letter, and quickly showed his skills, and put several things in one go. Daiyu looked at it and smiled, "Even if you can eat it, you can't eat so much, take two plates and divide them." ”

"Thank you for the young grandmother reward." The apricot fruit was crisp and raw, and I picked up two things and served them down.

Mama Mei also boiled the soup with confidence, and watched her drink it, and the wrinkles on her forehead were stretched. After Daiyu drank the soup, Mama Mei reminded her of the old words, "Since we have a small kitchen, why don't we start the fire ourselves in the future." ”

There is a small kitchen in the yard, and Mama Mei makes soup in her own yard, otherwise she has to go to the big kitchen to make soup, which is too inconvenient.

"That's not what I said, the small kitchen is for us to use urgently, and the daily expenses are all from our own accounts, and no one will say anything no matter how to use it. If you open your mouth and start a fire in the small kitchen, you have to beg E-Niang to match someone to pull something. We set a precedent, and others have followed suit, whether Eniang should or shouldn't. ”

"Besides, the big kitchen has a stove alone, and the kitchen lady has been specially selected to make it for me, which is no different from my own small kitchen. I really don't need to have more of these things, so as not to embarrass my mother. Actually, the cost of her own small kitchen is nothing to her, but living in a big family, she can't think like that. Pay your own money to open a small kitchen, is it a silent protest against your mother-in-law's abuse of your poor food, or does it seem that you are rich and special than others. In short, there are no good words left and right, there is no suitable opportunity, and it is better not to speak.

Mama Mei was a little disappointed, if she could open a small kitchen, she would most likely be able to take on the role of a steward. The kitchen is the place with the most oil and water, and it is a pity to let go of such a beautiful difference empty-handed.

But the master was unwilling, so she could only sigh in her heart, and lowered her hand to admit her mistake, "It's the old slave who wants to be wrong." ”

Daiyu ate slowly, and Bai Lu helped her walk a few steps around the yard. looked at Mama Mei's direction and asked, "Is there anyone else in Mama Mei's family, and has there been anything embarrassing recently?" ”

The slave remembered that Mama Mei was married, and the man in the family was a dart master who retired from the dart game. There is also a son, I don't know what to do, and I will call you back when the slave and maid inquire clearly. ”

Bai Lu's reply was very fast, and Dai Yuxi sounded, and there was already news.

"Let's call Xingguo to answer, you don't need to ask outside about this, this girl will know." Bai Lu pushed a handful of apricot fruits, covered her mouth and chuckled.

Xingguo laughed twice, and then said unconvinced: "It's not that slaves and maids like to inquire, isn't this someone who said that they only knew after someone told slaves and maids?" ”

She has the temperament of this bag to inquire, who doesn't know, someone loves to tell her something new, Xingguo is generous, dozens of big money to invite someone to eat a fruit and drink a cup of tea, a common thing. Besides, it's not about inquiring about the master, she just likes to listen to gossip, and if she says something good, she can be rewarded, what's wrong.

Only then did Daiyu know that Mama Mei only had one son, who inherited his father's business, and also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and entered the dart game as a dart master. But at the beginning of this year, during a dart walk, he encountered a thief, the goods were robbed, and he was seriously injured.

The family was in a hurry, so it was easy to rescue people and fill in all the family resources. Now she is still lame, she can't go back, she can't find anything else to do, the family has to rely on her, her son's medicine can't be broken, and his natural life is difficult.

"She's got such a big thing, why never heard her mention it." Daiyu exclaimed, she only asked to come to her, could she still care. If something like this happened to the people around her, what was it to her to give some money.

"It's probably because I'm afraid, the only thing the family can rely on is her job. What if the young grandmother heard this and asked her to go back to take care of her son, it would be easy to leave, but it would be difficult to come back. Bai Lu can understand her thoughts, and the young grandmother will definitely reward her with a sum of silver to see a doctor, but if she leaves here, the silver is spent, and the family will have to live on.

Mama Mei was sent to Daiyu by Hongyun, she is free, but she signed a contract. At that time, I also took a fancy to her kung fu, and if something happened, it would not be abrupt to take it with her. When it comes to cooking, what she is good at is soup, stir-fried dim sum is just mediocre.

If you go out of this door, it is indeed not easy to come in again according to her identity.

"The timing was not good at that time, how dare she cause trouble to her master at that time." Xingguo also interjected, at that time, Daiyu was grounded by Zhaojia's family, and the maids and women in the courtyard didn't dare to come out, let alone talk about this kind of thing.

Daiyu ordered the apricot fruit, "Now that we know, you can go and see, you should ask a famous doctor, you should use medicine, just help her." It's just a lone seedling, and young, don't leave any roots behind. ”

"The young grandmother is a bodhisattva, but she likes to be a cold face, so people don't dare to get close." Xingguo hugged for her.

"Everyone knows that you are a bodhisattva, and you can do things by yourself, but you also ask to come to you, and you have done all ten things, and you don't think you are good, and if you don't do anything, they will scold you for being black-hearted. Rather than that, I really want others not to be close to me. Daiyu only pursed her lips and smiled, she has lived in this era for a long time, and many things have been adapted, but there is one thing, it is still different from everyone.

People in this era are too concerned about their opinions in the eyes of others, and they think about fame in everything, which Daiyu has never been able to fit into. She is more willing to follow her own will, carefully test the scope of what this era can tolerate, and try her best to make her life more relaxed, more self-contained, and more unrestrained.

Other people's opinions and micro-remarks, as long as they don't hurt her muscles and bones, she doesn't care at all. The things that chew the root of the tongue in the woman's inner house still hope to last for a hundred years. As long as she doesn't care about other people's tongues, these things don't want to hurt people.

"The jasmine flowers outside are all blooming, and the master can't smell it." Bai Lu stood by the window, bursts of incense blowing in, very worried about the master who couldn't smell the spices.

"It smells good, it seems that the floral fragrance is fine, but the spices and head oil can't be smelled. Pick some of them and weave them into strings and hang them, and they smell good. Daiyu also smelled it, not only did she not feel depressed, but she also felt comfortable.

"That's great." Xingguo went outside to pick jasmine flowers and weave them into bracelets, put them on their wrists, and there was a fragrant wind when they walked, which smelled better than the previous incense.

Bai Lu looked at the apricot fruit weaving bracelet and gossiped with Daiyu: "The slave maid asked the maids and women in the yard to collect the hair oil and incense powder, but the weather is getting hotter, no need for hair oil, and the smell of this hair is not good." The slave maid thought and asked her mother-in-law to boil water in the small kitchen and let them wash and change frequently. After changing frequently, the clothes issued in the house are a little insufficient, and the slave and maid wondered if they should add a set to them. ”

"It's hard for you to think thoughtfully, this kind of trivial matter, you can arrange it." Daiyu has no objections, Bai Lu is in charge of her private money, and she doesn't care about these small money.

Xingguo braided the bracelet, put one on for Bai Lu, and carried a few newly knitted bracelets, "I'll send a few to Sister Xinlan." ”

"Go ahead, bring them some of the powdered plum flakes and snowflake candy that Agarwood sent." Daiyu looked at her and smiled.

"Well, the slave and maid thanked the master for them." Xingguo ran away with a smile, Bai Lu poured tea for Daiyu, brought the books she often read, and didn't forget to advise, "Master, don't bother too much, just flip through it." ”

"It's as verbose as Mama Wang." Mama Wang was old, and Daiyu couldn't bear to call her, so she let her go home to let her children and grandchildren support her. Only during the New Year's Festival, accompanied by her children and grandchildren to kowtow to her, as soon as she came, she had to talk about the first half of the day, and the piles told her one by one, Xingguo was most afraid of her, and she would hide far away when she came, so as to save her from nagging.

"No wonder Xingguo ran fast, I dared to guess that the master wanted to mention Mama Wang's name." Bai Lu smiled and closed the door and stood outside. Ensure that if Daiyu has something, she can call someone if she makes a sound.

Daiyu held the book and flipped it at will, and within a few pages, she heard a little girl coming over to Bai Lu outside. Bai Lu whispered through the curtain: "Master, the little master has come to see you." ”

The little young master in Bai Lu's mouth is no one else, it must be Jingyu. Daiyu hurriedly walked out, "What about people, is it in Eniang's yard, let's go quickly." ”

"I've been there, and Fujin asked him to come directly." Bai Lu helped Daiyu and just walked into the courtyard when he saw Jingyu walking over with long legs.

"Go back to the house and stay, who wants you to pick it up." Jingyu's wedding date is approaching, and her behavior is becoming more and more adult-like. Seeing Daiyu standing outside, he immediately made a straight face.

"The doctor said that it is good to walk around, and you can't sit and lie down all the time." Daiyu reached out and flicked his forehead, "Pretending to be an adult, how come you have time to come here today." ”

"My mother asked me to come over to see if you are doing lately and if you are missing anything." Jingyu looked at her sister's smile like a flower, and she didn't dare to look at her toes.

Daiyu didn't notice his strange appearance, and invited him into the house to sit down, "Tell my mother, I'm okay with everything, don't always worry about me." Now meat can also be used, but suddenly I can't smell the smell of spices and hair. The doctor came back once every three days and said that I was very good. ”

"That's good, my mother was afraid that you would be bored, so I brought you a few boxes of gadgets." Jingyu asked people to bring things up.

He picked up a box from inside and twisted a bird on it, and the box made a musical sound.

"Music box?" Daiyu took it, the appearance of the enamel wrapped in gold edge, a bird with bright feathers, touched it with her hand, it was actually carved from a whole piece of crystal. It seems to have been transported from outside the sea, and it is really a rarity.

"My sister actually knows that just this box that can sing, I don't know how many people have robbed their heads and bled out. Take a look at this, do you know what it is? Jingyu picked out a large, oval-shaped object from the box and asked her.

"Easter eggs." Daiyu took it again, and on a triangular bracket, there was a luxurious easter egg, and the intricate patterns carved a large number of characters were exquisite.

"Hey, it's really hard for you." Jingyu deliberately picked out some uncommon things, but he didn't expect that a few of them didn't stump him, so he couldn't help but wonder.

"Hongyun told me, don't think that your sister doesn't know anything about the outside." He said angrily: "There are even dolls, you are treating me as a child." ”

"If you don't play, the child will play in the future." Jingyu didn't care, he didn't come here to send things, these were just covers. When his father found out about Hongyun, he specially recruited him back and asked him to go see his sister.

My mother didn't know about it, for fear she wouldn't be able to bear it. He went to ask Fu Jin for peace just now, and Fu Jin found out first under the temptation, obviously she also knew about Hongyun's disappearance. The two families reached an agreement to hide this matter, especially not to let Daiyu know. Now that she has a body, she definitely can't stand such a blow.

When Jing Yu heard this at first glance, the whole person was stunned, and it took a long time to pretend to come over as if nothing happened. At this time, seeing his sister happily like a child getting a gift, touching this, looking at that, his heart was sour, and he clenched his fists tightly before he endured the sourness.

"What's wrong?" Daiyu felt the aura on Jingyu's body change, and there seemed to be a struggle in her eyes, so she couldn't help but raise her head, "What happened to my father?" Are you looking for the prince? ”

"No, no, what are you thinking. I just feel that my sister has become someone else's family, and she always has to worry about it. Jingyu found a reason to cover up the past.

Daiyu was smiling, and when she saw Xingguo standing outside, she hesitated and said, "What are you doing, standing outside and not making a sound." ”

Xingguo walked in and greeted Jingyu Fuli, and Daiyu said strangely: "Didn't you go to Xinlan and them?" Why didn't you meet Jingyu. ”

"The slave should have left first, so I didn't meet the little master." Xingguo saw the salute, and then the opportunity to serve tea retreated.

Daiyu was a little strange, if she left first, why did she come back at this time. But thinking about Xingguo's temperament, it is estimated that if you hear any gossip on the road, you may turn around and can't walk, so you don't think much about it.
