Chapter 14 Selling Jadeite
Helping Mrs. Wu to walk all the way, several people quickly came to Yunrong Courtyard. But all the way to the upper room, I didn't see any maids, and the entire main courtyard was quiet.
"Where has this man gone? If you don't stay in your place at this time, why are they all gone? Onyx, you go and see. ”
Mrs. Wu frowned and motioned for Onyx to go and see what was going on. Onyx walked quickly to the side room where the maid lived, and after a while, he quickly ran back.
"What's going on, what are they doing?"
"Madam, the maid and mother-in-law are resting in the side room. They said that it was ordered by Jade, and that the old man was drunk and wanted to rest, so as not to let everyone make noise everywhere. They had just returned to their room for a while......"
Before Onyx finished speaking, a maid and a mother-in-law walked out of the room one after another, and Ai Ai stood in the courtyard and looked at Mrs. Wu.
"Forget it, you all go back to your places, do what you have to do."
With a wave of her hand, the maids and mothers-in-law dispersed, Wu Tianrou took Mrs. Wu's hand and hurried to the main house.
"Mother, I don't know what this jade is doing, so let everyone avoid what to do! I always feel that there is a problem, let's hurry up and take a look. ”
Hearing Wu Tianrou's reminder, Mrs. Wu suddenly paused, and then grabbed Wu Tianrou, who was running forward.
"Cuiping, Cuiqin, you take Miss back to Yunxiang Courtyard first." After speaking, he pushed Wu Tianrou to Cuiping.
"Huh? Mother......"
was suddenly pushed into Cui Ping's arms, Wu Tianrou looked at Mrs. Wu in surprise, not quite understanding why she suddenly became so strange.
"Good, you go back first, and the rest of the things are up to your mother."
After speaking, she didn't pay any attention to Wu Tianrou, who looked puzzled, and Mrs. Wu walked forward quickly with agate and amber.
"Alas!"
Standing in place and looking at the back of Mrs. Wu with an anxious face, Wu Tianrou thought about it carefully and immediately understood what Mrs. Wu meant.
"It seems that my mother has thought of that, too, if it is really like that, it is really not good for a girl to see that kind of scene, not to mention that it is still my father. Alas, I didn't think it through, and I almost went on a business trip. ”
Thinking about the reason, Wu Tianrou patted her head gently, then turned around and returned to Yunxiang Courtyard with Cuiping and Cuiqin, waiting for the next news.
I ate dinner without knowing the taste, and seeing that the sun had set, Yunrong Courtyard still didn't move at all. Wu Tianrou couldn't help but wonder if she had misremembered the time, wasn't it this time?
Sitting on the bed at night with a vegetarian brocade quilt that had been basking in the sun all day, Wu Tianrou buried her face in the soft brocade quilt, smelling the faint fragrance and a dry sun breath on it, and this mood finally calmed down.
After rolling on the bed a few times with the brocade quilt, Wu Tianrou fell asleep with a heavy heart, until she was awakened by a dream of her own after dawn.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror and yawning, Wu Tianrou rubbed her nose helplessly. I didn't sleep well at all after dreaming all night, and it seems that I am still very curious about the things in the main courtyard.
"Miss, something big is wrong!"
Suddenly there was a loud voice from Cuizhi outside the door, and the curtain was picked up, and a figure ran in quickly.
"Cuizhi, how many times have you said don't shout, what kind of system is this!"
Looking at the cuizhi running in, Wu's mother immediately began to count the landings.
"Okay Mother Wu, I will definitely change it in the future!"
Pulling Mother Wu's arm and shaking it, Cuizhi finished speaking coquettishly, and immediately walked in front of Wu Tianrou.
"Miss, I just went to the big kitchen to get breakfast when I heard Amber say that Jade wanted to climb into the old man's bed while he was drunk, and was bumped into by the lady who went back. In the evening, when the old man woke up, he was furious and wanted to buy her and Aunt Liu together, and the jade who said to the outside world wanted to steal things happened to be discovered by Mrs. ”
After saying what he heard in one breath, Cuizhi let out a long sigh of relief.
"Oh, what nonsense are you talking about in front of Miss, what do you climb into bed and don't climb out of bed, is this something that can be said to Miss Boudoir!"
Hearing Cuizhi's words, Mother Wu first rolled her eyes at her, and then sighed.
"I didn't expect this girl Jade to have such a mind, such a girl really can't stay."
"Why did my father want to buy Aunt Liu too?"
Wu Tianrou was not surprised to hear the ending of Jade, but she was still a little surprised that Aunt Liu was going to be sold together.
"Well, that's what Amber said, yes, I couldn't get it wrong."
Nodding, Tsui Zhi reassured.
"It seems that Aunt Liu was angered by the lord because of the jadeite, but she has not known respect and humility in recent years, and has always instigated trouble openly and secretly, provoking the relationship between the lord and the lady, and it is good to sell it."
Mother Wu thought about it and analyzed, in fact, she was quite happy that Aunt Liu was sold. If there is less person who can make trouble in the house, it will be much quieter in the future.
"We have the right to treat this matter as if we don't know, don't talk nonsense after you go out, even if someone asks, they only say that the jade was sold because of stealing the owner's property, you know!"
Looking around at a few maids in the room, Wu Tianrou said seriously.
In fact, as for the reason why Aunt Liu was sold, Wu Tianrou believes that it will never be so simple, there must be something that she doesn't know, otherwise her father, who has always valued love and righteousness, will not sell his aunt in vain.
"Yes, miss." Cui Ping, Cui Qin, and Cui Zhi hurriedly nodded in agreement.
As for Cui Xue, she had already been transferred out of Wu Tianrou's side by Wu's mother on the grounds that there were enough people to serve in the house and that the affairs outside the house needed personal management, and now she is rarely able to appear by Wu Tianrou's side.
Cui Xue actually rises and falls, and now the maids and women in the entire Yunxiang Courtyard are all loyal to Wu Tianrou. Listening to Cui Xue's instructions to work, in fact, they are all watching her eyes.
Under the intentional guidance of Mrs. Wu and Master Wu, the sale of Aunt Liu and Jade did not cause any major fluctuations in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was completed in a silent manner.
After nearly half a month of calm like this, Mrs. Wu's health finally improved. Everyone who was notified was very happy, because in two months it would be the old lady's sixtieth birthday, and if her health had not been good, this birthday would not be easy to manage.
When Mrs. Wu was young, she and the queen, that is, the current queen mother, were close friends in the boudoir, so she often went in and out of the palace when she was young.
In the early years, he also saved the young saint who was attacked by a falcon in the hunting ground, and there are still scars on his arms that were scratched by the eagle's claws, so he is very respected by the saints today.
When the saint was still the prince, the deceased old lady also served as the prince's teacher, and Wu Yunyang was also the prince's companion when he was young, so the saint has always been very fond of the Wu family. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the Wu family has always been loyal to the royal family.
