On this day, things came one after another, and Mu Chenxue felt physically and mentally exhausted for a while, but now that Jiang's mother had left the house and gone home, dinner could only be prepared by her and Aunt Cheng. But Aunt Cheng's legs were still swollen, so she had to cook by herself. Fortunately, I was used to doing these things in my previous life, and I made four dishes and one soup at random at night, and when the ninth brother got off the house to study, the three of them simply ate some, and they went back to their rooms to rest without saying anything.
I had a dream all night, and when the sky was dark, I woke up in the morning snow, cooked some porridge for breakfast, and steamed two snacks. Only then did he get up the ninth brother Mu Chenfeng, and after breakfast, he saw the ninth brother go to home school, and then he entered Aunt Cheng's house with a basin of warm water.
"My mother didn't sleep well last night, and it's all black and blue now!" Mu Chenxue asked with concern while twisting the towel.
Aunt Cheng barely slept much last night, and she didn't get confused for a while until the moon was sinking in the west, and she got up when she heard a sound in the yard, but she didn't go out of the house, afraid that her son would be worried when he saw her haggard appearance. At this time, I was asked by my daughter, thinking that my daughter is not young anymore, and there is no need to hide these things from her.
"Well, thinking that Mama Jiang has been with her mother for all these years, and she has not enjoyed any happiness at all, this heart is blocked for a while! Naturally, I can't sleep well at night! ”
"Mother~!" Mu Chenxue took the handkerchief that Aunt Cheng had cleaned and put aside, and then took her hand and sat on the edge of the bed, "Mother, don't worry, our life was a little hard in the past, but the days after that will definitely get better and better!" ”
Aunt Cheng felt chills in her heart when she thought of the eldest lady's attitude towards her, but seeing her daughter coaxing and persuading herself, she didn't want to put her mood on her face to make her daughter worry, so she had to nod her head.
How could Mu Chenxue not understand the bitterness in her mother's heart, but she couldn't do anything at this time, and what she naturally said was not convincing.
The two were chatting when they heard a knock at the courtyard door, and knew that Jiang's mother came over early in the morning and hurriedly opened the door for her.
Jiang's mother almost didn't sleep all night last night, first, she was worried about the injury on her son's leg, and second, although her son's injury was cured, it was less than three taels of silver, and she only caught three pairs of medicines. But these three pairs of drugs are only three days' supply, and the doctor said that this medicine will have to be taken for a month before it can be stopped. The medicine has not yet been found, how can she not be worried and unable to sleep.
Although I was anxious the next day, I was still thinking about Aunt Cheng, Fifth Miss and Ninth Young Master, so I entered the shogunate early, but met the head of the shogunate at the gate.
"Say goodbye to Steward Liu!" Mother Jiang gave a salute, this Manager Liu is the most popular person among all the subordinates of the shogunate, even the eldest lady has to give three points of courtesy when she sees him.
"Mother Jiang left early yesterday, but what's going on at home?" No matter how big or small the shogunate is, it can't escape the eyes of this Liu Steward. The next person stammered, and he became the brightest person in the house.
"There's nothing going on at home, it's my aunt who thinks about the hard work of the old slave these days, so she let the old slave go home early for a moment and a half!" Seeing that Steward Liu was talking to her while ordering someone to prepare the car, he asked more, "Which master is using the car today?" ”
"The eldest lady wants to take her aunt and young ladies to the temple to make incense and pray for the lord!" Steward Liu said, thinking about this, I was afraid that Aunt Cheng and Miss Five would not have a share, but the two of them were half masters of the house after all, so he continued, "I think the eldest lady is distressed that Miss Five is recovering from a serious illness, so Aunt Cheng stayed to take care of Miss Five!" It's false, but at least it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.
Mother Jiang didn't understand in her heart, so she had to nod again and again, and gave a salute to Mrs. Xie, so she retreated and went directly to the backyard.
The doorman who was guarding the door glared at Jiang's mother impatiently, and took a step towards Steward Liu's side flatteringly, "Steward Liu, that Aunt Cheng doesn't like to see the eldest lady, why should you be polite to that Mrs. Jiang!" ”
"No matter how Aunt Cheng is, she is also the master, and she can't help us to be subordinates. And even if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face, Aunt Cheng gave birth to the fifth miss and the ninth young master, who knows which master will have a chance in the future, you people will make the moves brighter, don't have anything to do and hold on to others, you have to live and live at ease with others, isn't it! ”
"It's still Steward Liu's thoroughness, you often follow the master's side, naturally you can see it better than the younger ones, and you have to ask you to mention a little more in the future, we are all good at doing things in front of the master!" The two minions were chatting and patting horses at the door, and Jiang's mother had already passed through the corner door of the verandah into the backyard.
As soon as he saw the curtain Chenxue, he knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word, "Mother Jiang, what are you doing, the sun will show her face at this time, and the ground is cold and tight, get up quickly!" Let's talk about what comes into the house! Mu Chenxue was willing to let Jiang Ma really kowtow to herself, and helped the person up into the house.
Jiang's mother learned what happened yesterday to Aunt Cheng, Aunt Cheng was only sad yesterday, but she didn't expect her daughter to take out her jewelry and settle down early. I was happy and worried, thinking that although these jewelry were inconspicuous, if the eldest lady asked, she had to find a reason to reply, otherwise I was afraid that this small thing could become a big thing.
Seeing Aunt Cheng frowning tightly, she knew what she was worried about, "Mother, don't worry about Madame's side, my jewelry is only two or three taels of silver on the left, I'm afraid that Madame won't remember it for a long time." Besides, I used to spend a lot of money, even if I wrangled the people who rewarded the main house, it was possible. Mu Chenxue's words appeased Aunt Cheng.
Mother Jiang then remembered what she heard at the gate of the outer courtyard, "Madame is afraid that she will take the young ladies to the temple to make incense after breakfast, will my aunt go to ask for peace at this time, or will it pass by the hour on weekdays?" ”
"It's still according to the usual hour, since the eldest lady didn't call someone to pass the word, it doesn't matter if I go and she's not there, if I bump into the master again in advance, maybe she will say something ugly! But it's good that she's not there, the nurse might as well wait for the eldest lady to leave and go home to take care of the nurse first, I don't have to go to the main courtyard here, so I won't have anything to do! ”
"There is a daughter-in-law at home to take care of, and I don't need to be an old woman, the old slave still stays. Although there is no work in this courtyard, there are also people who wash clothes and cook food. You can't push all these jobs to Miss Five, if this hand is rough, it will be difficult to raise it back! Mother Jiang and Aunt Cheng chatted a few more words, and when they saw that Aunt no longer insisted on letting her go home, they went to fetch water and planned to sprinkle and sweep the yard.
This speaker has no intention of listening, but Mu Chenxue, who has been sitting on the side, has a move in her heart, the eldest lady is not at home, that is the best time for her to leave the house and find a way. I had a plan in my heart, so I naturally cared about the front yard, and went to the courtyard gate from time to time to listen to it.
