Chapter 569: Waiting
Du Yunluo untied the snow coat on her body, and when she walked into the flower hall, the warmth on her face made her whole person feel much more comfortable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The maids and ladies in the flower hall got up one after another to salute Du Yunluo.
Mrs. Jia smiled and said flatteringly: "Madame is here, the wind outside here is really strong today, blowing on your body, it is more powerful than the knives in our kitchen." ”
"Look at what the old sister said, the knives in the kitchen chop all the fish and meat, do you want to say that our lady ......" There are people who are not on good terms with Mrs. Jia, and they will stir up trouble when they open their mouths.
Du Yunluo slanted at him, and then stopped talking.
Sammo Hung's family helped Du Yunluo sit down, raised his eyebrows and said: "On such a cold day, we still have something to say, and after we finished speaking, we dispersed, and the mothers finished their work and went back to the house to roast the fire, no one stopped them, it was really grinding, everyone was blowing cold wind outside, and no one wanted to be comfortable." ”
Due to the prestige of Sammo Hung's family, and Du Yunluo was present, they were settled all of a sudden.
There is still half a month before the wax moon, and it is almost the busiest time of the year.
The New Year's gifts of each government and each courtyard, each Zhuangzi shop has to enter the house to serve the account, and they have to prepare for the Laba New Year, even if there is an old precedent in front, it still makes Du Yunluo a little uncomfortable.
Zhou and Mrs. Wu told her that after all, they are double-bodied, they don't have to do everything themselves, there is no shortage of competent people in the house, Du Yunluo should be up and down, but people can't be idle.
She waited for Mu Lianxiao to come back day by day, and the vacuum came down, and she felt that the days were long.
After the general affairs were dealt with, Du Yunluo wanted to go back to Shaoxi Garden, but as soon as she got out of the flower hall, she saw that the sky was dark outside, as if it was about to snow, so she changed her mind.
"Let's take a look." Du Yunluo said.
Mu Lianxiao's residence in the front yard became his outer study after he got married, and Jiuxi was taking care of it these days.
Du Yunluo asked Jiuxi with a smile: "Does Master Hou have any news back?" ”
Jiuxi shook his head and said, "Madam, if there is news, the slave will definitely go to report to you early, and there will be no delay." ”
"There's no news from Yunqi either?" Du Yunluo asked again.
Jiuxi touched his head and smiled: "His news is a little brighter than the slave, yesterday it seemed to be said that the Xishu Qing Officials of the Household Department scolded the Shengshang, and even the two waiters of the Household Department did not please him, the same was a scolding, as for the news of our master, he never talked about it." ”
The saint let Mu Lianxiao go to Shu with the front foot, and scolded the Xishu Qing Officials and the left and right servants of the household department with the back foot, Du Yunluo thought, probably Mu Lianxiao sent some message back to Beijing.
Du Yunluo asked Jiuxi to find Yunqi, turned around and sat down in Mu Lianxiao's study.
It was very clean.
There are a lot of books on the pineapple bookshelf, from the art of war to miscellaneous notes, Du Yunluo casually took out a book to pass the time.
After waiting for almost an hour, Yunqi came in a hurry.
It was cold outside, but he was sweating profusely.
Du Yunluo put down the book and said, "I heard that the adults in the household department were scolded yesterday?" Isn't it ...... Master Hou?"
Yun Qi grinned when he heard this: "Madam, the slave heard that the master is already on the way back, and the slave can't say which day he will enter Beijing." ”
"Since you know, why didn't you say it earlier?" Du Yunluo asked him.
"The master knows that Madame is worried, and said that it is only these days, so he should be in a hurry on the road." Yunqi touched his head, he did what he was told, but when he faced Du Yunluo, he was still a little apprehensive.
Du Yunluo didn't blame Yunqi, she knew what Mu Lianxiao meant.
Mu Lianxiao went to Shudi, but nominally, he went to Jiangnan.
Therefore, in the past few months, Mu Lianxiao has not even sent a letter to her family, lest this post station come over and let people know where the letter came from.
He will not tell his whereabouts very thoroughly, the journey time back to Beijing between Shu and Jiangnan is different, and the more detailed he says, if he asks someone with a heart to verify, the easier it will be to be seen through.
This is not only the second room, but the saint must also guard against those in Shu.
Du Yunluo didn't go into detail about when Mu Lianxiao set off, as long as the person was already on the way back to Beijing, just like Yunqi said, Zuo is just these days.
But just a few days made Du Yunluo particularly worried.
In the Baijie Hall, Xu smiled Yingying and Wu Lao Taijun talked about Laba going to Pocamel Mountain to get porridge.
"This year's big event, I and my four brothers and sisters went," Xu was in a very good mood, and his voice was a little clearer than before, "I will go to get porridge early, and when I come back, the family will share it, and I will be blessed." ”
Mrs. Wu laughed at her: "You are already a good fortune now." ”
Xu's face was slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've been cutting swaddling clothes for children these days."
Over the years, I have embroidered Buddha scriptures, occasionally sewed two shirts for myself, and where I have done children's work.
I didn't know how to start with these hands, so I called my mother from the sewing room to my room and gave me a work to draw a thread. ”
Hearing these words, Mrs. Wu sighed with emotion.
There is a sewing room in the house, there are so many mothers, where do you need the masters to cut clothes, Xu is so happy that he wants to make clothes for the children by himself.
But as she said, she hadn't done this work for many years, and she had already given birth to her hands.
Mrs. Wu patted Xu's hand: "You are skillful, in less than a month, you will do as well as before." I remember, Lian Kang's inner clothes and socks when he was a child were all made by you, and they felt as soft as tofu, which was very comfortable. ”
"That's all I have to do," thinking of the past, Xu sighed, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and said, "I'll prepare more this time, in addition to the one in Lian Kang's daughter-in-law's belly, and the one in Lian Xiao's daughter-in-law's belly, I'm still thinking about living for another ten or twenty years and making clothes for my great-grandchildren." ”
Du Yunluo came in from outside, stood in the bright room to ward off the cold, and heard the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law inside, and her heart was also heavy.
She remembered that in her previous life, Xu also lived for a long time, her heart was like ashes, she suffered day after day, and finally grew old.
In those days, she never laughed.
In this life, Xu rekindled the hope of life, every day is joyful, and she lives a down-to-earth and satisfying life.
Lifting the curtain and entering, Du Yunluo took Xu's hand and said, "Third aunt, I can hear it, what you said, I also have a share of this in my stomach, you must not miss mine, otherwise I will not follow." ”
"This kid is still climbing up the pole," Mrs. Wu scolded with a smile, and pulled Du Yunluo to sit down, "Tell the old woman to see how she looks today." ”
Xu Shi also smiled and bent his eyes: "You are indispensable." (To be continued.) )
