Chapter 10: Cousins and Aunts Arrive
Aunt Li is pregnant, so she instantly becomes the person that Mrs. He wants to hold in the palm of her hand the most, and the good things that replenish her body are constantly sent to Aunt Li's yard, and Aunt Li's daily meal has become the most exquisite in this house.
Zhu Yuehua ordered her subordinates to take care of Aunt Li's side more, but it didn't have a big impact on her life for the time being, and Mrs. He wouldn't stuff her over there when Aunt Li was pregnant, but just let her go to see Aunt Li more.
But He Wenzhao, that is, the young lady in the eyes of everyone in Hefu, has become the strangest one.
No matter how generous Ren is, his grandmother will send some good things to her aunt at most, and then often send the big maid around her to ask about the situation, and occasionally visit her once or twice, which is admirable enough. Like the young lady, she let her eldest maid go to Aunt Li with a special order to stew an old ginseng chicken soup or something and send it to Aunt Li, and I can't wait to visit Aunt Li's yard every day, this kind of behavior not only makes people scratch their heads, but also makes Mrs. He and Aunt Li more wary of her.
Even if the world is praised as a generous, virtuous, and jealous woman who can tolerate people, there are no two such facts that can really be done, whether it is Mrs. He or Aunt Li, they are very clear, it is precisely because of this that they put aside their understanding and do not understand the above behaviors and do not talk about it, there is no way to believe that it will be really so kind.
At this time, Mrs. He and Aunt Li seemed to be on the same front. The things that are sent to Aunt Li every day, Aunt Li has never even touched a mouthful, and Mrs. He will not touch them, but it is a pity to look at so many expensive things every day and can only pour them - although those are not their silver, I can't take the initiative to mention that I don't want to send them again.
Like Mrs. He and Aunt Li, Zhu Yuehua also can't look at it, He Wenzhao takes his wife's things every day to give his lover courtesy, not to mention that his lover is not ready to appreciate it at all, but doesn't he waste anything?
After He Wenzhao was warned and sarcastically ridiculed by Zhu Yuehua, he no longer thought about going to see and deliver things every day as before, but he still had to find an excuse to take a look every once in a while, but he no longer took his wife's things and sent them to Aunt Li, but fortunately, he was not stopped again.
Occasionally, He Wenzhao also pulled his sister He Qingyu to ask about the situation. This made He Qingyu, who already felt that her sister-in-law was strange, even more strange.

There is a haunt and a haunt, and half of April has passed in a blink of an eye, and the He Mansion is about to welcome guests.
He Juzhang served as an official in Beijing alone, but his younger brother He Juheng was doing some business in his hometown Tai'an, and his ordinary life was actually comfortable and nourishing, but in the end, this dynasty was light business, and the status of businessmen was not high, so both He Juheng and He Qi hoped that their son He Wenze could go back to take a fame so that he could teach people to be impressed.
With such a purpose, and their daughter He Qingmi is fifteen years old, and the people in Tai'an don't look down on some young people of the right age, so they also think about whether they can find a big brother and sister-in-law in the capital to help find a good family.
Whether it is He Juzhang or He Li's thoughts, they are still very clear about this younger brother and sister-in-law. He Juzhang's official position is not high, and Yu Lu is naturally not very good, when he first entered the officialdom, he needed to rely on the funding of this younger brother in many ways, so He Juzhang also hoped to help with their ideas.
He Li is far from having the same idea as her husband, saying that he gave them silver taels, but in fact it is only the first one or two times, and the annual friendship really depends on her dowry?
Later, when they returned to Tai'an for the New Year's Festival every year, the gifts they gave to their brother's family have always been rich, but their husband always remembered that this younger brother had helped him, but he didn't know who the person who really helped him was, and he still needed to post so much to be satisfied.
I think so, but He Li's is not too confused, when He Juheng concealed the matter of He Qi's stuffing of silver taels to them when they were very difficult, she always remembered it in her heart. Where she can help He Wenze and He Qingmi, she will still help.
He Juheng has a lot of affairs and can't leave, and only He Qi, He Wenze and He Qingmi come to the capital. When they arrived at Hefu, it happened to be dark before dark, and dinner was almost ready.
As early as when the carriage had just entered the capital, a servant had already called Zhu Yuehua to the main hall, and waited with Mrs. He, He Wenzhao, He Qingyu, and Aunt Li to welcome the arrival of the He Qi family. He Juzhang had to come back from the yamen a little later.
Zhu Yuehua didn't have any impression of the He Li family, and in order to avoid mistakes, she had already asked the system to transfer all the memories about them and let her receive them again. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the system this time, and she successfully extracted the information she wanted.
He Qi is an elder in the end, He Wenzhao's memory does not have much evaluation of her, and Zhu Yuehua does not have much contact with this aunt, and he does not have any special ideas, but he is obviously not very close.
He Wenze is only three years younger than He Wenzhao, He Wenzhao used to like this younger brother who loves to follow him, but because He Wenze doesn't know why he has become more and more silent, not talkative and afraid of life, the liking for him has faded, and the two have not had much contact since then.
He Qingmi is only one year younger than He Qingyu, and it stands to reason that they should have a good relationship with each other as cousins, but He Qingmi is a little domineering by He Juheng and He Qi's habitual temperament, and He Qingyu and this cousin are not too compatible.
Zhu Yuehua finished reading the information extracted by the system, and felt that it seemed to be just one sentence in the summary - a big wave of trouble was coming.

When the servant came to report that the carriage was near, Mrs. He took Zhu Yuehua and a few others to the gate of He's mansion and waited, and saw three carriages coming towards this side from a distance. In the front carriage were the three of He Qi's family, the carriage in the middle was some necessities and a few personal maid servants, and the last carriage was a cart of goods, as for what it contained, only He Li knew best.
The three of He Qi were helped by the servants to get off the carriage, and Mrs. He had already taken Zhu Yuehua and a few people to greet them with a smile. Although I have only seen it during the New Year's Festival, but when we meet again at this time, it is also a joyful scene of happiness and harmony.
Talking and laughing, a group of people entered the house, and He Qi was led by the maid to the side room to wash up a little, and then was led directly to the dining room, where the big wooden table was full of all kinds of food and people's appetites.
"Brother and sister, Wen Ze, Qingmi, sit down." Mrs. He welcomed them to their seats with a smile, and He Qishi also smiled on his face, but he didn't sit down immediately and only asked, "Hasn't the eldest brother returned from the yamen yet?" ”
Mrs. He nodded and said, "Your eldest brother has already explained that you don't have to wait for him to have dinner after your brother and sister arrive, he will come back as soon as possible." ”
While he was talking, the servant hurried in and reported to the people, "The master has returned!" ”
The smile on Mrs. He's face was even stronger, and she looked at He Qi and said, "I really came back just now, my brother and sister will sit first, and I'll go over and take a look." He immediately walked out of the dining room. He Qi followed him to the dining room, and the others could only follow him like this.
He Juzhang has just come back, and he is still wearing official clothes, so he needs to change into civilian clothes first, and he is afraid that he will be late and rush back in a hurry, so he must freshen up before he can meet people, so it will take some time to be able to pick up.
Outside the dining room, He Qi's family stood at the front, and He Qingmi whispered to He Qingyu at the end; And He Wenze and Zhu Yuehua in the middle, although they were standing side by side, they had nothing to talk about; He Wenzhao and Aunt Li stood behind them, and wanted to ask Aunt Li how her body was, but He Wenzhao still held back.
Aunt Li shouldn't have appeared here, she should have gone back to her courtyard when she welcomed the He Qi family into the mansion, but she knew that the He Qi family would definitely prepare a meeting gift for the people in the He Mansion, and if she didn't appear at the dinner table, the gift would be gone.
Zhu Yuehua originally thought that Aunt Li had gone back, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of her still there, but she couldn't figure out whether Aunt Li could appear here or not, and she hadn't been able to fully understand these cumbersome rules.
He Juzhang and Mrs. He soon came to the dining room, and saw a rare smile on He Juzhang's face, but when he caught a glimpse of Aunt Li, his face still changed. Mrs. He noticed the change in his face and didn't understand it yet, but after seeing Aunt Li, she knew what was going on, and suddenly she didn't look very good when she looked at Aunt Li.
Although Mrs. He was very happy that Aunt Li was pregnant, she didn't want to be persuaded by her younger siblings what to do if she gave birth to her eldest son, so she didn't want to be known by the He Qi clan that Aunt Li was pregnant, so naturally she didn't like Aunt Li much here.
is dissatisfied, neither He Juzhang nor Mrs. He will show it at this time, let alone such a moment of gathering in front of his brother and daughter-in-law. Aunt Li also noticed the look they gave her secretly, even if it was a rare meeting gift from the He Qi family, she couldn't resist the resentment in her heart, and when He Juzhang, Mrs. He, and He Qi went to the dining room, she also quietly left and went back to her own courtyard.
Zhu Yuehua and He Wenzhao have been paying attention to Aunt Li's actions, and seeing her leave faintly angry, the former seems to be quite interesting, and the latter is worried that she will hurt her body when she is angry, which are completely different mentalities.
But no one really cares about an aunt, and they are still very happy after dinner—at least on the surface, and He Qi really took the meeting gift. After drinking tea and chatting for a while, He Juzhang said that they had just arrived, and they were tired from the journey, so they should go and have a good rest.
The moonlight poured down silently like water, as if paved a chic path one by one.
Zhu Yuehua still went to sleep in the study, and happened to be with He Qingyu, who was returning to his yard. Zhu Yuehua looked up at the moonlight, but felt that tomorrow would be a good weather, so she asked He Qingyu directly, "What do you think, sister, how about finding a time to go to Qingqing with Wen Ze and Qingmi these days?" ”
"Okay, it's rare to go on an outing with my brother." Although He Qingyu was surprised that his brother would take the initiative to propose such an idea, he only raised his head and said this with a smile.
The moonlight fell on He Qingyu's face, revealing a face that had disappeared from childishness, Zhu Yuehua patted her head lightly, and said with a smile, "Then find a time." ”
I hope that Meng Yu, who has the kind of experience that will be unforgettable for a lifetime and can definitely be remembered when he sees He Wenzhao's face, will not fail to come, Zhu Yuehua, who was thinking about the task, thought silently......
