Chapter 53: Tricksters in the Shadows (3)
Asakusa went back to her room and cried in her room. She really couldn't figure it out, obviously the second master had already explained that he would take him in, why was he still so cold to herself when he was in the middle of his life. And the clothes, jewelry, and makeup that the second young grandmother prepared for herself before were obviously arranged according to the preferences of the second master. And he is dressed like this today, and the whole thing is beautiful and refined, which is not bad at all compared to the second young grandmother. Speaking of other things, Asakusa may not dare to compare with the second young grandmother, but if she only talks about her appearance, she thinks that she is no worse than anyone in this house. Jinyu's appearance is not outstanding, compared to her sister-in-law Dong, it seems to be a little inferior. She is mainly dignified, and that kind of temperament and demeanor are something that ordinary people can't imitate if they want to. It's just that these Asakusa won't pay attention, and she can't understand it. Aside from her sadness and loss, Jinyu was in the house, but she also felt extremely depressed. Imagine that there is a woman who knows that her husband is having sex with another woman at the moment, and she will feel better? It's just that she has always been strong, and she refuses to show her vulnerable side in front of others. So, after dinner, she pushed her body unwell, sent a room of people away, sat alone by the embroidered couch, lit a furnace of incense, and sat under the lamp to read. It's just how can you see it? After watching it for a long time, my eyes were still staring at the first side. This kind of sour taste is the first time Jinyu has tasted it in her life. I can't help but think of my mother Hu for so many years, and I have to suffer this kind of torment every day. I really don't know how my mother has been through so many years? She let out a long sigh, suddenly hating her weakness and vanity. Why do you have to pursue that reputation for virtue and generosity? Why do you have to wronged yourself even though you are reluctant? Now that she is pregnant, and her reaction is so heavy, it should be the time for her husband to take good care of herself, why do you have to pick someone to take care of your husband and make herself even more uncomfortable? And do you have to be wronged like this to be recognized by your husband's family? And what if they approve of it? In this matter, it seems that Zhang Zizan was not happy because of her so-called virtuous generosity, but instead lost her temper with herself. What's wrong with that? She looked at the faint smoke curling from the censer and fell into deep thought.
"That little hoof in Asakusa cried all night last night! I heard it as I passed by her house. Early in the morning, the red apricot was chirping in Jinyu's ear. Jinyu felt that her heart was inexplicably much more relaxed. After using it early, she instructed Green Smoke: "Pick what the second master likes to eat, it's ready, I'll send it to him." He's in the study these days, and he doesn't know how the food is, so I'm going to go over and have a look. Her words shocked both Red Apricot and Green Smoke. Since Zhang Zizan left angrily that day, the little couple seemed to be stuck in a cold war, ignoring each other. Now Jinyu offered to visit Zhang Zizan in the study, which surprised them. And some joy. Originally, the two of them had a harmonious relationship before, and the atmosphere in the room was much warmer. Now that it's been cold for so many days, the girls have long been looking forward to this low pressure passing as soon as possible. So Green Smoke and Red Apricot hurriedly prepared the food box, accompanied Jinyu, and traveled all the way to the study.
Seeing Jinyu, Zhang Zizan was very surprised, and couldn't believe his eyes. However, Jinyu still had the same kind tone: "Did you use it too early?" I specially asked the kitchen to prepare shredded chicken noodles for you, so eat them while they're hot! "It's as if nothing has happened between the two of them. Looking at Jinyu's smiling face, Zhang Zizan suddenly found that his mood at the moment was very similar to the feeling of being wronged when he was a child and finally being comforted by his mother. Or, it's not all like that. In short, it's not as depressed and uncomfortable as a few days ago, but it's still a little awkward. He took the chopsticks from Jinyu's hand, sat down and ate them in a big gulp. I just think this bowl of noodles is the best noodle he's ever tasted. Seeing his performance like this, Red Apricot and Green Smoke retreated in a hurry. After Zhang Zizan finished eating, Jinyu thoughtfully handed over a hand towel and carefully wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth. Zhang Zizan enjoys his wife's tenderness very much. When Jinyu bent down to put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table, she was stopped by Zhang Zizan. "The lady is pregnant now, let me do these rough jobs!" He quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then held Jinyu in his arms. Smelling the familiar scent of his wife, he felt a satisfaction that he had never felt before. And Jinyu, sitting in Zhang Zizan's arms, was a little shy, but it was more of a sense of reassurance. "Lady, don't push me to others again. Even if it's your mother's request, you don't have to say yes, okay? I don't like people messing around with my stuff! Your performance before made me feel like you didn't care about me at all! Hearing Zhang Zizan's almost whispered whispers, Jinyu only felt that her heart was about to be filled with joy. It turned out that he turned his face with himself because of this. How stupid did you have to be to do such a thankless thing before? She nodded solemnly and said, "I see." As long as you don't dislike me, husband, I can't tolerate people if I am jealous, no, even if you dislike it, I won't let you have anyone else! Zhang Zizan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Don't dislike it, although jealousy is not a virtue, but between you and me, jealousy is not too much at all." I just wondered in my heart, why did you take the initiative to let me accept people, aren't you jealous at all? Or, in your mind, I'm simply dispensable? Because of this, I couldn't eat and sleep for days! Jinyu said embarrassedly: "It's all because I'm too pedantic." In fact, how good have I been these days, you left angrily that day, I was puzzled at first. I can't figure out what I've done wrong. It's obviously doing what your mother-in-law wants, and it's also thinking about you, but why are you still so angry? Didn't my husband understand my embarrassment at all? There is a mother-in-law on it, and if I resist, I will have to bear the notoriety of being unvirtuous and unfilial. However, I did as my mother-in-law said, but my heart was 100,000 uncomfortable. Especially last night, I barely slept all night. I just can't stand working with other women. So, I finally figured it out, no matter what notoriety he is, I just need to live a good life with my husband. At the end of the words, remembering the sadness of last night, Jinyu couldn't help choking. Zhang Zizan couldn't help but be deeply touched when he heard this. Thinking of Jinyu's previous embarrassment, and he really didn't think of this layer at all, he couldn't help but feel guilty. He hugged his wife in his arms hard, and said softly, "Okay, okay, let's just talk about it." You're not wrong, it's me who is wrong. I was too impatient, too reckless. If there is anything in the future, we must discuss it carefully before we do it, so that there will be no estrangement. Don't worry, Mother, everything has me. After all, she also wants us to live a good life. If she is worried that our children are weak, we should work harder and have a few more. At this point, the husband and wife finally reconciled, and their love was stronger than before.
When Asakusa rushed to the study and was about to serve Zhang Zizan, Zhang Zizan returned to his previous cordial appearance and no longer raised eyebrows at her. Although she wondered in her heart, she still noticed the difference. At noon, when Zhang Zizan went back to her room to have lunch with Jinyu, she naturally knew the reason. It's just that, in addition to the deep loss, she is more unwilling. What is she? A joke? Then the joke is too funny. Thinking of the exclusion, suppression, ridicule and jealousy he received before, Asakusa felt angry in his heart!
In the dimly lit back kitchen, a little girl guards a stove, fanning her fan every now and then, and her head is like a chicken pecking rice. "Second young grandmother's lily lotus seed soup, is it okay?" A clear voice woke the little girl up. "Alright, alright. I'll keep it warm over there! As she spoke, she was about to get up, but she heard someone laugh and say, "Look at your stove carefully!" I'll just take it myself. The little girl hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you sister for your thoughtfulness." The man walked over and picked up the casserole, and walked briskly out of the kitchen, ignoring her.
"After taking a porridge for so long, did you step on ants on the road?" Taking the casserole in Asakusa's hand, a second-class girl in Jinyu's room looked impatient. Originally, she was going to go over to get it, but Asakusa suddenly came over with a smile on her face and said that she happened to have something to go to the back kitchen. She took the opportunity to be lazy. It's just that Asakusa went for a long time, and she was trained by Hongxing. Now that she sees Asakusa, she naturally doesn't have a good color. It's just that she didn't notice the coldness that flashed on Asakusa's face.
"Why does today's porridge smell like medicine?" Jinyu took the bowl, took a small bite, and put it down. Green Smoke heard this, but his face changed drastically. When she was in the Gao family, she was repeatedly advised by the Hu family. You must be careful about Jinyu's diet and daily life, especially now that Jinyu is pregnant, you must pay attention everywhere. These days, the family has been peaceful, and she has let her guard down a little. Is something really going to happen? She took the porridge bowl in Jinyu's hand, and sure enough, if she didn't pay attention, she could hardly smell the medicine in the porridge. It's just that Jinyu has always cared about Shen Fang before, so she is particularly sensitive to medicinal tastes. So, after a little bite, I noticed the difference. Hongxing looked nervous: "What should I do?" Miss, what is wrong with you right now? I'll go and inform my uncle right away! Jinyu shook her head and said, "I'm just taking a little bit, so I think it shouldn't be a big deal." Hold your sights. As if nothing had happened. I have my own ideas. ”
Early the next morning, Asakusa and the needlework girls on Jinyu's side started needlework together. As she did so, she kept an eye out for movement in Jinyu's room. Since Jinyu and his wife reconciled, Zhang Zizan told Mrs. Zhang what he meant, and when Mrs. Zhang saw her son's own intentions, she was no longer strong, and Asakusa was also arranged by them. So Asakusa was arranged by Jinyu to be on an errand with the needlework girls. She paid attention for a long time, but saw that Jinyu was as energetic as before, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in her heart.
