Chapter 38: Zhou Jingya's Fall from Grace (1)

Under Rouge's comfort, Liu's mood became more and more sad, and his hands tightly pulled Rouge's sleeves.

"Yunmeng, look at it, it's really good that your daughter is so understanding, Hazy is about to have a child, and our Zhao family will soon be in the same house for four generations."

Rouge heard Liu's mother Zhao Yunmeng mention it, and her heart was also uncomfortable, although her grandfather's family took care of her since she was a child, but in the end, after a generation, the two old people loved themselves. I didn't accuse, but every time I saw Zhao Zijun being accused by my uncle and aunt, I was more envious.

The Chu family, since the Zheng family was favored, the etiquette is even more thorough, and they dare not relax every day on the morning and dusk of the old lady of the Chu family.

Although the old lady has long been exempted from the concubines' daily greetings in order to save trouble, she only sees the concubines in the backyard on every big day.

But Zheng got up every day at dawn and went to the old lady's yard to serve the old lady to freshen up.

When people came, there were fewer and fewer people, but whenever the old lady opened her eyes, Zheng was always by her side. The weather was sunny and rainy, and Chu Changjian was even more happy when he saw that Zheng was so diligent every day.

Chu Changjian himself is a filial son, because of the difference between men and women, and he is the head of the family, he can't serve his mother all day long. The wife he married was a county lord, and as the saying goes, "the official level crushes people to death." ”

This wife's identity is a county lord, and who dares to let her serve her mother.

Zheng's actions can be said to have won Chu Changjian's heart, and Chu Changjian knows in his heart that over the years, Zhou Jingya has won the true inheritance of the infighting in the royal family's backhouse, and the rules and regulations governing the backyard of the Chu Mansion.

No concubine dared to cross her Zhou Jingya by half a step, not to mention going to the old lady every day, if she Zhou Jingya knew, she would not have to turn the sky upside down.

Zhou Jingya has become more and more bored in the past few days, and it is not very pleasing to see her son Chu Wenyu.

Chu Wenyu saw that Zhou Jingya had a tiger face at him every day, and every day, he hid out early after breakfast, and came back after dinner at night.

Zhou Jingya knew in her heart that her identity as the county lord was not enough to support her in the Chu family.

The maids around him were sent to invite Chu Changjian several times, but they were all dismissed by Chu Changjian on the grounds that he was busy with things.

This matter spread throughout the backyard, and Zhou Jingya lost face. If it weren't for the old lady of the Chu family who was a demon on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, how could she become like this.

In the past ten or twenty years, I didn't see that the Zheng family, who had always been obedient, was also a powerful master, and the appearance of a small jasper who couldn't get on the table was even fascinated by Chu Changjian, who had seen a lot of beauties.

and Chu Wushuang, who pretends to be stupid and stunned on weekdays, has a deep mind, if he had known that he was not stupid, he would have killed him a long time ago.

At this point, no matter how much Zhou Jingya thinks, it is useless.

Today is the first day of the first month of the new month, according to the rules, the ladies in the backyard have to go to the old lady to say goodbye, Zhou Jingya was really arrogant before, but the general style is still unambiguous.

Zhou Jingya breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she couldn't come up, she couldn't go down. It was uncomfortably tight in my throat.

Early in the morning, when the grandmother who was waiting next to her brought water to Zhou Jingya to wash, she said, "Madam, today is the first day of the new year, according to the rules, Madame is going to ask the old lady for peace." ”

Zhou Jingya got up lazily, picked up the face towel prepared on the side and washed her face, ignoring her grandmother's words.

Mama saw that Zhou Jingya was acting like this, it really didn't look like she was going to ask the old lady for peace, and she was about to remind her again.

Zhou Jingya wiped her face, sat down in front of the dresser and said, "Mama, what do you care about so much, I have never missed a table in the past, but today, I really don't have that interest, this invitation, I won't go." ”

Mama couldn't, so she had to keep silent, and stepped forward to serve Zhou Jingya to make up.

When her hair was curled, Mama picked up the gold-inlaid jade string of pearls that Zhou Jingya wore on weekdays, but was stopped by Zhou Jingya.

"Mama, I won't bring that one today, just exchange for the red gold coral and the jade crown of the emperor sent by my mother's family, with a pearl earring, a purple jade jade collar."

Mama's hand paused, and the maid next to her had already found these things when Zhou Jingya spoke.

Mama looked at the jewelry in the tray, and said to Zhou Jingya with some embarrassment: "Madam, these are all from the palace, and they are all rewarded by various masters and ladies. ”

Zhou Jingya looked at the tray in the hand of the maid on the side lightly, and said: "What's so strange about this, I am the county lord of the royal family, even if I was born as a grandmaster, but I am also a royal person, these royal gifts, I want to wear them today." I am frugal on weekdays, and I don't want to press them as the county lord and make them ugly, but I didn't think that they gave me an ugly look these days. ”

The maid next to her was speechless for a while, Madame, you said that you dress frugally on weekdays, isn't this a joke, you wear gold and silver all day long, and you also say that you are thrifty.

Mama had no choice but to put on the jewelry for Zhou Jingya.

Zhou Jingya, who was wearing jewelry, looked at herself in the mirror and felt more and more radiant.

couldn't help complaining about Chu Changjian: "This old man is too visionless, which point of my appearance is not better than that Zheng family, how can the old man fall in love with the Zheng family these days, he is really getting older and older, and his eyes are afraid that it is not good." ”

The voice of complaining is neither loud nor small, but it is just enough to be heard inside and outside the house.

Old lady Chu had breakfast early in the morning under the service of the Zheng family, and waited in the hall for the concubines in the backyard to salute her.

Seeing that the hour was not early, the concubines had already arrived, but Zhou Jingya had not arrived.

Zheng, who was on the side, said in a gentle voice: "Old lady, do you say, did the lady encounter something or something uncomfortable, why didn't she come at this hour?" ”

When the concubines saw that someone was taking the lead, they also started to talk about it.

"That's right, old lady, this lady hasn't come yet, I'm really a little worried about waiting."

"Old lady, you might as well send a grandmother by your side to ask what is going on, so that you and none of us are worried."

Old Mrs. Chu was also full of doubts, worried about whether Zhou Jingya was sick or something.

scolded a little maid who had followed him for many years, and went to Zhou Jingya's yard to see what was going on.

The little maid didn't dare to delay for a moment, and came to Zhou Jingya's yard.

In the morning, the servants in the yard swept the floor and watered the water, and no one noticed that a little maid was coming.

The little maid was also afraid that Zhou Jingya was sick, so she didn't make a sound, for fear of disturbing her wife's rest. Came lightly to Zhou Jingya's door.

Coincidentally, I happened to hear Zhou Jingya's words complaining about Chu Changjian in the room.

The little maid didn't stretch out, and quietly went back again.

Zhou Jingya in the house would never know that a complaint just now would make her completely passive.

When the little maid returned, she whispered in the old lady's ear.

After hearing this, the old lady looked not very good, and said that she was not very well, so she exempted the concubines and aunts from asking for peace today, and let them retreat.

On the way back, several concubines wanted to be friendly with the Zheng family, so they deliberately followed behind the Zheng family.

The old lady in the hall asked the little maid to repeat what Zhou Jingya said.

After the little maid finished speaking in this book, the old lady was angry.

I was worried about her Zhou Jingya if she was not feeling well, but she complained demeaningly about me in that room.

Old Mrs. Chu was extremely angry with Zhou Jingya's actions today, and her hands on crutches kept trembling.

The frightened people in the house were frightened, and said in unison: "The old lady is angry, the old lady is angry." ”

Zheng noticed that several people were following him after his birth, so he slowed down his pace and let them follow.

How could those concubines not know that the Zheng family was walking slower, and hurriedly followed.

"Sister Zheng, you go slowly, wait for me and Sister Hu." Aunt Zhang opened her mouth.

When Zheng heard this, he stopped.

Aunts Zhang and Hu caught up.

The three of them saluted each other.

Zheng said: "The two sisters are in such a hurry, but what do you want to find your sister?" ”

Aunt Hu Shi took Zheng's hand and said kindly: "Why, sister, there is nothing for our sisters to talk to each other?" Do you have to have something to do to find you? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, my sister doesn't dare to think so."

Zheng's weakness can't help but make Hu and Zhang's eyes shine, although he can't see this Zheng's weakness, see that the old man likes it, otherwise he wouldn't be the only one to favor Zheng now.

"That's right, Sister Zheng, our sisters have been married to the master since they came to this backyard, and they haven't talked together yet, today is a good day, why don't we go to the pavilion and talk together, how about it?" Aunt Zhang said.

Aunt Hu Shi continued: "That's right, Sister Zheng, let's go to the pavilion to talk together, this whole day in our own yard, it's going to be stuffy, today there is a chance, our sisters have a good talk." ”

Zheng was very clear about the thoughts of the Zhang family and the Hu family, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, two sisters, I have been in this backyard for twenty years, and today is probably the first time in twenty years that I have spoken to the two sisters for such a long time!" Let's go to the pavilion and talk slowly. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang and Hu's faces changed slightly.

The three of them walked towards the pavilion in unison.

Old Mrs. Chu was angry, so she went and called Chu Changjian to the room.

Chu Changjian heard that the old lady was very angry, he didn't know what was going on, and he was worried about the old lady's body, so he hurried to the old lady's residence.

When she arrived at the hall, the old lady sat on the Luohan platform, her face pale.

The old lady was getting older and older, and Chu Changjian was afraid that the old lady would be angry, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Mother, what's wrong, why are you so angry? You say to your son, what the hell is wrong? ”

"It's not all your lady Zhou Jingya, except for her, who dares to make me angry like this."
