Zhou Baolu's favorite and closest woman in her life is Zeng's, the two have no blood relationship, it can be seen that fate is really difficult to say.

Zhou Baolu sent someone to the gate of the palace to announce that Zeng's family came in, and wanted to go to the gate of the palace to pick it up, but he was afraid that his aunt would say that he didn't know how to take care, so he had to sit on the kang and wait.

This is the weather in April, Zhou Baolu is not very happy, but not so uncomfortable, but because everything is now up to her, she simply does not wear big clothes in the room during the day, only wearing soft satin clothes and pants, or this year's special, exceptionally soft, thick and smooth, a total of only two.

When Zeng Shi came in, he saw Zhou Baolu sitting cross-legged on the kang, looking up at her with a small round face, smiling.

Looking at the complexion, looking at the expression, looking at the big crooked eyes that smiled, Zeng put his mind at ease.

Zhou Baolu fainted that day, which really made Zeng's suspense, but because there were many people that day, and she had just been diagnosed, she was coaxing everywhere, and she didn't want to stay for a long time, but she couldn't rest assured, for fear that her body would be weak and happy.

Zhou Baolu is about to get off the kang: "Uncle~~"

is still coquettish when she is so old, Zeng couldn't care about saluting, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her: "Niangniang, just sit, don't bother me." ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Baolu smiled and nodded, then pulled Zeng to sit beside him and greeted: "Uncle is okay?" What about Ange'er? And a few younger siblings at the bottom, are they all good? Why did my aunt come alone, why didn't Brother An's daughter-in-law come with her, so that the family also called me close and close. ”

Referring to this, Zeng asked Zhou Baolu instead: "I was going to bring Brother An's daughter-in-law here, but she had another illness and couldn't get up. Find two more good doctors and show Brother An's daughter-in-law, maybe it will be better. ”

Zhou Baolu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Brother An's daughter-in-law is not in good health? What the hell is going on? ”

Zeng sighed: "This is also no way, I didn't think that our family chose her, not only is her temperament like that, but her body is not good, and now I know that when she was a girl, she took pills all year round, and every spring and autumn season must make some mistakes, and these two days are not good, I think if there is a good doctor, change it to her." If only the root cause of the disease could be found, it would be good to go. ”

Zhou Baolu said: "There is a new Qin Tai Doctor in Tai Hospital, saying that he is not very good at this kind of perennial and always more good at being angry, and I will send someone to pass him to Brother An's daughter-in-law to take a look - just my aunt said that he is temperamental, what's the matter?" ”

Zhou Baolu remembered the dustless and noble appearance of the little girl, and she understood a little bit in her heart.

Zeng said to Zhou Baolu: "I can't finish talking for a while! I also looked at each other again and again before asking for marriage, look at her good appearance, her demeanor is also demure, I think she is also a young lady, the rules and conditions always understand, I really didn't expect her to be such a character! ”

Zhou Baolu handed the tea to Zeng's with her own hands, and saw that she was quite sad between her eyebrows, so she had to be relieved: "Before getting married, even if you look at each other a few times, it is just a look at your appearance, behavior, and behavior, what can be seen, I have also seen her twice, and I also think that she is demure and gentle, and she speaks softly, there is nothing wrong." ”

Zhou Baolu thought for a while, and said: "Maybe my aunt is too worried, if you want me to say, although Brother An is not short-tempered, but her temper is not much better, if you marry a daughter-in-law with a hard temper, the two are afraid that it will not be very good, so when my aunt enters the palace, I also think it is good, in the end, I was born there, gentleness and obedience are also rare, but I am not good at housework, I can't be a director, but I am still young, and my aunt slowly taught her, that is." ”

Zeng sighed rarely: "Alas, if this is the case, I will not worry." You don't know what to say, she seems to be gentle and obedient, just like you said, she speaks softly, and the wind blows and falls, but I didn't expect it...... At that time, she just entered the door, I saw that she was delicate, not very old, thinking of the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion, naturally pampered and raised, I told her, the body and bones are important, I have no shortage of people to serve, and I don't have to get up every day in the morning, come to ask for service, she got this, politely, don't come in the morning, even three or five days don't take a look. That's it, I don't expect my daughter-in-law to serve her, but I sent someone to ask the maid in Brother An'er's room, and said that Brother An was resting in her room, and she didn't pay attention to it when she got up in the morning. I don't understand, what are the rules of this Anguo Mansion? ”

Zhou Baolu also listened a little unbelievable, the daughter-in-law entered the door and served the mother-in-law and husband, that is a matter of course, when she met a generous mother-in-law like Zeng, who would like to be considerate, it is already a blessing for eight lifetimes, if you don't go in the morning, then at least you have breakfast, you should go to your mother-in-law's place for a walk, please be safe, talk, is what it means to be a daughter-in-law, and now take her mother-in-law's considerate words, and ignore it?

Delicate must be delicate, even if it is delicate in her mother's family, but where is the difference between her mother's family and her husband's family?

Zeng said: "Once, the housekeeper who she married came over to take care of it, and I tried it with words, and the mother-in-law said that earlier in the Guogong Mansion, because she was not in good health, Mrs. loved her, and she had already been exempted from these, and she could do whatever she liked, but Mrs., from time to time, also went to her room to see her." ”

Where is this to raise a daughter, this is to raise an ancestor!

Zhou Baolu and Zeng's glanced at each other, both of them understood people, and they both understood that the Zhu family was not raising a yuan and a concubine like this, but out of love, but really uneasy and kind.

Killing is also a kind of killing.

Zeng's is used to seeing things, and it is rare to spit out bitterness like this, probably because she is in front of Zhou Baolu, and because she is really aggrieved by this matter, her eldest son who relies on the most is so promising, and he is so promising, and he can't help but hate Zhu: "I don't know what kind of means the wife of the Ludao family raised her, only close to those relatives of their family who can't get on the stage, and everyone else is behind, that time, it's in the old year, she just got married not long ago, I look at her appearance and behavior, Brother An also likes her, and look, it is indeed pitiful. ”

Zeng sighed: "That's the character...... It's only been two months since she got married, and she opened her mouth, asking Brother An to arrange her cousin uncle to the household department, Brother An asked, where is the serious cousin, it is actually the cousin of her stepmother and aunt, who was doing that kind of silver outside, how to arrange it? Come to think of it, if it is a serious person who should arrange it, An Guogong and An Guogong are also big celebrities, so naturally it will be arranged, right? Brother An naturally shouldn't, she cried twice, but it wasn't spicy, it was just begging again and again, saying that her stepmother had raised her for all these years, and now she just did such a trivial thing, and she couldn't, what is it? As long as Brother An fulfills her filial piety, she is weak and weak, and she will be sick within two days, and she can't take the medicine she vomits. ”

Zhou Baolu also had to sigh.

Zeng said: "Let her just like this, she is not satisfied, she will give birth to Xinwen'er from time to time, she should not have a cold face, crying endlessly, and make a fuss, she will be sick for a month, in the past six months, the days of good will not be a few days." There are things to say every now and then, and I don't know where there are so many things in that house, I'm afraid that if the lady is waiting for her to do it? also kept saying that relatives should always take care of her, if she ignored it, what would she become? And it's all good, and there's nothing unpleasant. ”

"What the hell did she think!" Zhou Baolu didn't understand: "If this is not a bad thing, why don't the Zhu family do it?" Hengzhu is her relative, she should also be spoed to seek death, and force An Guogong to do it! ”

"If she dared, would she still be where she is today?" Zeng sneered: "It's nothing more than to praise the little girl very much, to offer it high, to coax the little girl to be ignorant, and to make the little girl willing to take her body, it is filial piety and ability, isn't it?" Hengzhu didn't raise her, what does life and death have to do with her? ”

Isn't that what you say? My aunt has always seen it thoroughly. Zhou Baolu nodded, she only took pity on their brother An, who had such a good character, but married such a daughter-in-law, she couldn't blow it, what else could she do except raise it?

Zhou Baolu comforted Zeng's again and again, and Zeng's was a little embarrassed to say: "It's rare for me to say these things outside like this, but today I disturbed my mother." ”

Zhou Baolu said angrily: "My aunt is so polite to me now, doesn't she hurt me?" If you don't tell me about these housework, do you tell Xian'er? How old is she? ”

It is rare for someone as calm as Zeng to say so much, Zhou Baolu understands this state of mind very well, and she sometimes has this sense of powerlessness when facing her mother.

This is really destined by God, and it is not humanly possible.

But Zhou Baolu still persuaded: "Although Brother An's daughter-in-law is not very sensible, she just needs to let her more on weekdays, Brother An has a bad temper and she is delicate, don't scare her." What's the matter with her, my uncle and aunt are not good, just send someone to tell me, I will arrange the same, nothing more than a few low-level positions, I can't be embarrassed by this family, she cries and cries, who can be happy. ”

Zeng had to nod yes, only thinking that his daughter-in-law could be half as strong as Zhou Baolu, so thank God.

Zhou Baolu said something else to explain to her: "I heard the prince say a while ago, my uncle sent Brother Hong in, and the guards in front of the prince, and now the prince and several families went to Songlin Garden to hunt, I saw that Brother Hong also followed, speaking of which, Brother Hong is also fifteen years old, but it is almost the same, why don't you send Brother Qing'er?" ”

Wu Anhou's son, except for the eldest Chen Yi'an, who is almost twenty years old, the second Chen Yiqing, is from Zeng's family, sixteen this year, and the third Chen Yihong, who is from Aunt Hua, is fifteen this year, and the rest are still younger, so naturally they don't need to care about them.

mentioned Chen Yiqing, who is Zeng's favorite son, and said with a smile: "Brother Qing is just studying, not like Brother Hong, who loves martial arts, where is he a guard, but he can study with peace of mind, and then he will find a future." ”

Chen Yihong is a concubine, and he planned his future earlier, so Zhou Baolu smiled and said: "My aunt is a pampered young brother." ”

"Does it matter?" Zeng said with a smile: "People like us have a good future, and they don't have to go to the scientific examination, they study hard every day, he is still young, so it's okay to be loose." ”

"Brother Qing is also sixteen, where is he still young, but this daughter-in-law is afraid that she will talk about it." Zhou Baolu saw that when it came to Chen Yiqing, Zeng's expression was fond of it, and he was happy to say such things.

Sure enough, Zeng smiled and calculated: "This daughter-in-law is going to be picky, I thought, now it seems that it is appropriate to talk about it next year, and the mother should pay more attention to it, and tell me if it is good." ”

Zhou Baolu smiled and responded, so he took the opportunity to talk to Zeng's about whose girl was good-looking, whose girl was talented, and whose girl's flower was fine.

Zhou Baolu left Zeng's for dinner, and Zeng's smiled: "At noon, your uncle sent someone in to tell me that he would be back tonight, and he might have returned to his house by this time, so I'd better go back and take a look." ”

When Zhou Baolu saw this, he had no choice but to give up, and only sent the maid to pack two boxes of fresh pattern palaces, two old ginseng, and some gastrodia notoginseng and other things: "Dim sum for younger brothers and sisters to taste, these two ginseng have been for thirty or fifty years, give them to my uncle, and those aunts and uncles will use them for their own sake, take care of themselves." ”

He personally took a new Silla with silver and red butterflies and flowers: "This is the appearance of the summer materials sent by Jiangnan Weaving, which cannot be seen outside, so give it to Brother An's daughter-in-law." ”

Zeng answered.

Zhou Baolu personally sent Zeng's road to the door, and said with a smile: "My aunt came to see me when I was free, and I was talking, now that the days are long, it's boring, and now my little aunt has gone to the northwest, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back in the past two years, and there is really no one else." ”

At the beginning of this year, the emperor handed over all the properties taken care of by Chen Xiqing to Xiao Hongcheng, and even Chen Xiqing became a member of Xiao Hongcheng's Zhan Mansion, and he was rewarded with a five-grade offering, but it was not publicized.

Of course, these five offerings are really not done in vain, just out of the first month, Xiao Hongcheng sent Chen Xiqing to the northwest, the border trade has entered the most important stage, Xiao Hongcheng has already seen the opportunity to pick peaches, to the old Wenge a dull stick, since the year before last has been constantly inserting people in the past, although there is no gunsmoke in that place, but there is nothing to say about the tension, this will unexpectedly sent Chen Xiqing to follow, is it to receive the industry?

However, Zhou Baolu only asked casually, and when he heard that Chen Xiqing would not come back in a year or two, he pouted, and that's it.

After sending Zeng's away, seeing that it was two o'clock, Zhou Baolu sent someone: "Go ahead and ask if the prince has returned to the palace, and if you want to come back for dinner." ”

There is a little girl who has taken the order.

Since Xiao Hongcheng and Zhou Baolu got married, both of them tried to have dinner together, if there was nothing very important, Xiao Hongcheng would rush back, and Zhou Baolu was also used to waiting for him.

Zhu Tang watched from the side, and brought over a bowl of sesame walnut paste: "The prince will come in this time, and it will take a while to eat, Niang Niang will eat some of this first, now it is not as good as before, and it should be careful." ”

Zhou Baolu knew that he had to remember to take care of his stomach now, so he didn't hold back, and took it and ate it casually.

When she ate most of the bowl, she looked at the little girl from the courtyard window and walked in the door, looking a little flustered, Sakura happened to also enter the door, so she stopped her from talking, the little girl was a little hesitant, but she still nodded, and stayed in the yard.

Sakura lifted the curtain and came in, and said with a smile: "The prince is back, but there seems to be something going on in the study, so it's stumbling, the slave and maid are looking at the fire and candles more than usual, and there are more shadows, and the slave and maid look like that, and the prince can't come back for a while, so it's better to be the mother first."

For dinner, when the prince calls, then call the kitchen and wait for the study. ”

Zhou Baolu looked at Sakura suspiciously, she always felt that Sakura was a little sneaky, so what was the little girl panicking? Sakura stopped her for what?

Zhu Tang is a solid-eyed child, and after listening to Sakura's words, he smiled and said, "In this case, Niangniang passed on dinner, but you can't wait." ”

Zhou Baolu said: "Okay, Zhu Tang, you go and tell the kitchen, I want to eat egg custard, make a bowl of it, don't add toppings." ”

It's always a good thing to want to eat, so Zhu Tang hurriedly responded.

Zhou Baolu asked Sakura: "What are you doing sneakily stopping people?" ”

Sakura was quite scared and said: "My God, fortunately I stopped her, she is not sensible, she hears something and says it outside, if you want me to say, this is not true now, I can't tell you, you have to wait for the prince to come back." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Baolu glanced at her, this girl, she is getting more and more boundless.

Sakura touched her head, and after a while, she said: "It seems that someone scared the horse when he was shooting, and now the news released outside is that it is the prince, but the slave thinks it is not, I waited outside the study to see, and there is no blood on the clothes that the prince has changed." ”

Zhou Baolu was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly: "I know what to do." ”

The author has something to say: The chapter at 9 o'clock in the morning tomorrow was sent in advance, and if I wasn't busy tomorrow, I would try to add a more, and if I couldn't add it, I would only have to go at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, disrupting the regularity, I'm really sorry.
