Chapter 159 It's not that simple
The Zhou Mansion has been busy preparing for the banquet these days, because the banquet preparation is in the back garden, and there are ordinary low-level maids and rough envoys in the mansion
The little ones all went to the back garden to tidy up, clean and build flowers and trees......
Hexiang Temple is also lively and tight, and there are maids coming and going from time to time. %Www.しWxs520.coM
Mrs. Zhou sat on the yellow rosewood chaise longue in the warm pavilion, and the screen embroidered with the Buddha lotus picture was also folded up temporarily. Threads floated through the golden incense burner on the side
The agarwood smoke, together with the faint cigarette smoke of the Buddha shrine on the east wall, diluted the fat powder fragrance of the warbler Yanyan in this room a lot.
"Mo Niang, I didn't say you, but as a mother, you can't even stuff a maid into Xu'an's courtyard, do you still want me to hand over the backyard of this week to you?" Zhou Lao
Madame didn't even raise her eyelids, and said lightly.
"Mother, daughter-in-law can't help it, the maid Xu An who arranged it before didn't accept it, it's so easy to arrange two......" Zhou Liu said but couldn't continue
Besides, she felt useless. This week Xu'an is really strange, he has a big yard, and he doesn't even want a maid to wait.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Zhou asked.
He said again that the two maids had given the young ladies their names, so they changed their names and sent them to the kitchen. Those two maids have been carefully trained by their daughter-in-law, and they are the best at serving
people. And one is called Hongling and the other is called Green Calyx, where is the name of the young lady, but it was renamed Xiaohong and Xiaolu and was sent to the small kitchen. he
That small kitchen may not be on fire once a year, isn't this a disguised disacceptance! "Zhou Liu is really distressed by this.
"Oh, sister, this is not right, the eldest young master has never seen anything stunning when he is talking about business outside, so you pull out the two third-class maids in the courtyard with a mediocre appearance,
Don't talk about the eldest young master. I don't like it either. Aunt Luo on the side hurriedly said that she wanted to put Xia He and Qiu Ju in her yard
The eldest young master's yard went there. In case one of them is taken by the eldest young master and has an aunt, I can't thank her.
There's no way, since her daughter Mengchan got married, and the master is addicted to alchemy and cultivation, she has no status in the Zhou Mansion. Not only has there been fewer monthly cases,
Occasionally, if you want to make bird's nest porridge in the small kitchen, you have to report to the hateful Liu Mo Niang......
"What do you want to say?" Liu Mo Niang snorted coldly and said.
"Madame. Old lady. Xia He and Qiu Ju in front of the concubine are both top-notch, so it is better to let the two of them dress up as the eldest young master. "Aunt Luo
At this time, I also know a little bit of etiquette, and said respectfully. also made Liu Moniang unable to pick a thorn.
"But the two behind you? Looks gaudy is not what Xu An likes. Mrs. Zhou asked, these two maids have been rolling their eyes since they came in, and they are not peaceful.
"Mother-in-law said very much, Xu An can't choose a maid at will. What's more, this is a pick-through room. Liu Mo Niang was proud, but her face did not show it.
"Old lady. I'm ......" Aunt Luo was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mrs. Zhou's words.
"Alright, you guys came to my yard in a group, and it really gave me a headache. Let's take the maids back, I have my own discretion on Xu'an's affairs. "Old Madam Zhou
After speaking, she waved her hand to the big girl Purple Kite beside her, and Purple Kite nodded and said to Zhou Liu and Aunt Luo expressionlessly, "The old lady is tired." Madame and aunt, please go back first
Go ahead. ”
Zhou Liu listened and retired. She was followed by a few maids. Aunt Luo had no choice but to retreat, but a few maids followed her.
Wait for them to go. The room was finally much more spacious and brighter, and even the aroma was much lighter.
"Purple kite, where is the eldest young master?" Old Madam Zhou asked again.
"Back to the old lady, the eldest young master has come back from outside. The slave maid sent someone to invite it, and it is estimated that it is time to come. Purple Kite still said with a blank face.
"......" Mrs. Zhou did not speak again, but continued to pretend to sleep, but kept counting the Buddhist beads in her hand.
"Old lady, the eldest young master is here." After a while, I heard the maid outside the door open the curtain and say, and then I saw Zhou Xu'an, who was wearing a green shirt, walking in, and his expression was exactly the same as the purple kite beside Mrs. Zhou. It's just that Zhou Xu'an is not good at expressing Mu Ran, but Purple Kite is cold from the bottom of his heart, so his face is expressionless.
"Grandmother." Zhou Xu'an shouted, not forgetting to salute her.
"Xu'an, you are not young, and you should have a concubine. And you're a big young master, and there's not even a little maid in the yard to serve you. Mrs. Zhou pretended to be unhappy and said.
"Grandmother, didn't I say it before, I'm too troublesome, so I'll only marry one wife in the future." Zhou Xu'an said, and saw that his grandmother was about to speak, so he said what he wanted to say while the iron was hot: "Moreover, I already have someone I want to marry." ”
“…… Then let's not mention the matter of concubines, who do you say you want to marry? Old Madam Zhou said with a frown. A few days ago, the daughter of the county commander who was in the county seat before
Zhu Zhiyuan actually asked someone to ask for a letter again, saying that her father was now transferred to the capital to investigate the criminal case and make the yamen a county official, and he was actually promoted to the sixth grade. This is also amazing, not to mention that Lord Zhu has a lot to do with that Shuntianfu Yin. Mrs. Zhou has already recognized Zhu Zhiyuan as the eldest granddaughter-in-law in her heart.
"Her name is Chunyu, but she is the daughter of a small family." Zhou Xu'an said, but saw that his grandmother's face was getting worse and worse.
"Spring rain? This name is a little familiar......" said Mrs. Zhou.
"Back to the old lady, the Spring Rain girl that Miss Mengya came to talk about occasionally before is the one who often eats with her." The purple kite has a good memory, so she hurriedly said to Mrs. Zhou.
"What? It's actually that country girl, no, I still think it's too low to let her enter our Zhou family as a concubine. When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she resisted very much.
"Grandmother, you believe in Buddhism, and the Buddha also said: All living beings are equal. How to distinguish between the humble and the rich. I only know how to marry whoever I want to marry, and as for grandmother, I forgive my grandson what you think. Zhou Xu'an said but was about to leave, and at the end he turned around and added: "Grandmother, I invited Zhou Fu to her banquet tomorrow, I think you will like her when you see her." ”
It's just that after Zhou Xu'an walked outside the door, he heard a 'snap' sound, as if something had been fallen. Zhou Xu'an was silent for a while, and then went directly to his sister Zhou Mengya's Yimengju without stopping, and he had to go and talk to Meng'er. He can't go to the inner courtyard tomorrow, so he has to let her take good care of Chunyu for him.
As for grandmother, let her know today, she must be ready to accept it. When his mother was still there, she didn't like her mother in every way, and she didn't have much affection for his brother and sister. By the time her mother went, she came to express her grandmother's love again, but it was too late.
However, what he is worried about is that he will not be loved by his grandmother, and the spring rain will be difficult, but he will definitely do his best not to let her be wronged. (To be continued.) )>
