Chapter Seventy-Four: Hawthorn Incense in the Courtyard

Shu Yujin has been having nightmares for a long time, but she has never seen the face of the woman who seduced Zhao Yun in the dream, but she is inexplicably familiar with the back, it seems to be someone she knows, and it is precisely because of this that Shu Yujin will be even more sad.

After a lot of work, by the time Shu Mansion arrived, it was almost time for lunch, so the housekeeper of Shu Mansion directly ordered the kitchen staff to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and then make more light supplements, specifically for Shu Yujin to recuperate.

Mrs. Shu is still teaching Lin Mei flower arrangement, which is a talent that women in the capital will have, so Mrs. Shu will call Lin Mei to accompany her every time she arranges flowers, and when she heard that her baby daughter is back, she immediately put down the bouquet in her hand, and she is in a good mood to put Lin Mei on a half-day vacation, and she will come here tomorrow morning to learn how to housekee.

Lin Mei happily returned to the curtain house, and after washing and combing, she changed into a light dress, she went to see it yesterday, and the clothes that Shu Wangjin sent someone to make for her were enough to make her change every day and not repeat until next year's New Year.

"Qingzhi, where is the wooden box that Miss Liu sent over yesterday?"

"Miss Lin, the slave maid will help you get it now." Qingying disappeared early this morning, so now it is Qingzhi's turn to serve the maid beside Lin Mei.

Lin Mei took the small peach box in Qing Zhi's hand, her face was quite happy, she didn't know what she muttered, she turned around and jumped out of the house, walked for a while, suddenly turned back again, turned her head and asked, "Is the eldest lady going back to her own yard?" ”

"The eldest lady went back to Xiuwu Courtyard, and Mrs. just rushed over." Qing Zhi lowered her head and replied meticulously, her voice tame.

"Shuwu Academy?" Lin Mei exclaimed in surprise when she heard this, frowned and said, "Shu Wangjin is the Xiuwen Academy, and Miss Shu lives in the Xiuwu Academy?" The name of the girl's yard is not very good, right? ”

Qing Zhi saw that Lin Mei had misunderstood, so she explained, "The eldest lady did look like a boy when she was a child, and she named her courtyard to be called Xiuwu Academy, but because Mrs. and Master didn't allow it, the word 'Wu' in the middle was changed to the homophonic word 'Wu'. ”

"It turned out to be the Xiuwu Courtyard...... Lin Mei muttered a few words, glanced at the peach box she was holding in her hand, and then rushed to the Xiuwu Courtyard where Shu Yujin lived.

And here, although Mrs. Shu has only seen Shu Yujin for more than ten days, she feels as if she hasn't seen her for a few months, and when she sees Shu Yujin's pale and thin little face, she is full of distress, and tears are about to burst into her eyes.

"Ah Yu, but that Zhao Yun bullied you? Or what happened to the Zhao family to you? Mrs. Shu took Shu Yujin's hand, and her face, which was still crying, suddenly became fierce, "If they dare to bully you, not to mention that the Shu family makes them look good, even if they let my old face go, let the emperor's cousin punish them!" ”

"Mother, why do you think so......" Shu Yujin couldn't cry or laugh, gasped a few times, and suddenly had a little dizziness on her pale face, which looked much more charming than before.

Mrs. Shu frowned slightly but didn't believe it, waved her hand and retreated Qing Yu and the others, even if she was well-maintained, a few fine wrinkles appeared on her face, and it looked a little vicissitudes.

"Ah Yu, you have always reported good news and not bad news, but I am your mother, seeing that you have watched it for so many years, how can you not see that you have something in your heart?"

"Mother, it's really okay......" Although Shu Yujin smiled reluctantly, but this was a sincere thought, since she was married, she had to take charge of herself, how could she trouble her father and mother in everything?

Mrs. Shu sighed lightly, she couldn't take Shu Yujin, she was really sad for a while, she can be regarded as enjoying all the glory and wealth in this life, the first half of her life is powerful and noble, and the second half of her life is rich and noble, but the three children she gave birth to are a bumpy life, especially the second son, who was killed before he even lived to be eight years old, the eldest son was stubborn by nature, and then he went crazy, although he is now very smart and has made the Shu family's business bigger, but he has never laughed sincerely, and the only daughter is not happy after marriage......

Zhang Tianshi once looked at Mrs. Shu's appearance, saying that she was too noble in her life, and even the blessings of her children were taken by her alone, which made Mrs. Shu blame herself for a long time.

At this time, the maid waiting outside the house raised her voice and reported, "Madam, eldest lady, Miss Lin has arrived." ”

When Mrs. Shu heard that Lin Mei was coming, she hurriedly collected the tears in the corners of her eyes and the bitter look on her face, she was the proudest powerful lady in the capital, even now, she would never allow herself to shed a tear in front of outsiders, even if there was any sadness on her face, she couldn't!

Lin Mei didn't know what had happened in this room before, so with a bright smile on her face, she saluted Mrs. Shu and Shu Yujin respectively, and then sat next to Shu Yujin.

If it had been before, I was afraid that Lin Mei would have sat down a long time ago, and if it weren't for Mrs. Shu's strict urging recently, she wouldn't have remembered to salute.

After all, Mrs. Shu's etiquette was taught by the strictest grandmother in the palace, and her posture was called a dignified and graceful manner, and under her iron-blooded teaching, even Lin Mei walked a little bit like a young lady.

"Miss Shu, this is our family's specialty, although it is not very valuable, but I heard that pregnant women love to eat this, I like it too, but it is too sour......" Lin Mei said and opened the peach wood box in her hand and brought it to Shu Yujin, and introduced, "This is a hawthorn cake made of hawthorn fruit, which can be used in medicine, and it tastes good to quench your thirst, do you want to taste it with Mrs. Shu?" ”

Shu Yujin and Mrs. Shu raised their eyes and saw dozens of thin pieces of dark red pastries stacked in the small wooden box, which made people can't help but have an appetite when they smell it.

"Hawthorn? I've heard of this thing, but I haven't had a chance to taste it, Miss Lin, you really have a heart. Shu Yujin said with a smile, stretched out her right hand and twisted a piece into her mouth, "I thought it was delicious when I smelled it before, but now it tastes really good." ”

Mrs. Shu also showed a rare soothing smile on her face, Shu Mansion has been in an eventful time recently, and she has not smiled so comfortably for a long time.

"If you think it's delicious, eat more, there is a stew of cangginseng and black chicken soup in the back kitchen, why do you have to give me a bowl today!"

Lin Mei saw that Mrs. Shu and Shu Yujin liked it, so she hurriedly said attentively, "Yes, Miss Shu, if you like it, I will ask someone to give you more tomorrow, you can make appetizers before meals, maybe you will want to eat more meals at that time!" ”
