Chapter 106: Someone from Yanjing City
"My husband and second brother haven't come back yet, I've already sent someone to invite my brother and sister, and I'm going to be there in a while." Zhao helped Mrs. Su sit down slowly, and handed over the tea.
Just now, the old lady was uncomfortable like that, her throat must be very dry, and she had to drink some tea to moisten it.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, as soon as Zhao's words fell, Qian hurriedly walked in from outside with his daughter-in-law. After entering the house, he first asked Mrs. Su for peace in a proper manner, and then said anxiously, "I heard that someone sent a lot of things back one by one, and wrote a letter?" ”
"It's a letter." A smile flashed on Mrs. Su's face, and she pointed to Mama Su who was waiting on the side, "The letter is held by Mama Su, but I wrote a lot of words for you on the letter, and it is not in vain that you hurt her." ”
"It's always been annoying." Although Qian was talking back, his footsteps went straight to Mama Su, took the letter and flipped through it, and after reading the previous page, he gave it to his daughter-in-law on the side, and he continued to look down. It happened that at this time, Zhao's daughter-in-law Hai also came over, and after inviting An, she stood over and read the letter with the Qian family.
After about a cup of tea, everyone had already finished reading the letter. Hai looked at the old lady with a smile, "The old lady got the news one by one this time, can you rest assured?" ”
"I didn't expect Changzhou to be so interesting, and I had a little fun looking at them all!" The second daughter-in-law also replied with a smile, "I also said that if I have the opportunity, I will come to see the old lady." ”
Along with the letter sent back, Xu Jiayi specially collected the specialties from Changzhou and sent them back, full of two large boxes, each of which had a share. Zhao asked people to send all the things to Wan'an Hall, and when everyone returned home in the evening, they all gathered in the old lady's house and had dinner together, and the old lady asked someone to open the box and send the things out one by one.
Everyone is smiling when they get a gift, no matter whether this thing is valuable or not, whether it is suitable or not, it all represents Xu Jiayi's filial piety, not to mention that Xu Jiayi was specially selected according to everyone's temperament, and everyone is naturally happy in their hearts.
And when they had finished dividing the things, they sent them all out. The smile on the old lady's face was retracted, and she sighed and sat back on the soft collapse, which made Mama Su wonder, "Why is the old lady suddenly unhappy?" ”
"Look at everything written on the letter is a festive thing, and the brother of the Chu family who came back from the wedding team didn't show up on the wedding day, but I didn't mention a word about it, and I don't know how much true or false what she wrote in this letter, didn't she write it to coax me." Old Lady Chu frowned as she spoke, and her face became more and more displeased.
Mama Su also knew a few words, and after getting Xu Jiayi's letter, she also glanced at it, but she didn't realize it just now, but now after listening to the old lady's words, she faintly felt that what the old lady said was right, and paused, then raised her eyes and smiled, "Old lady, you are too worried, my cousin is not a person who will be bullied, you can rest assured, even if there are any difficulties, it will not be difficult for her." ”
"If I don't see it with my own eyes, I always feel at ease." Old Lady Chu sighed deeply and said slowly. Suddenly remembered something, and called the second-class maid Xiangyun in the house, looked at the little maid in front of her, and asked gently, "Xiangyun, how many years have you been serving me in the house?" ”
"Back to the old lady, it has been twenty-five years since the slave maid entered the house."
"It's been so many years in a blink of an eye, and I still remember that you were still a little radish head when you first entered the mansion, and you were so big in a blink of an eye." Old Mrs. Su looked at Xiangyun and sighed with emotion, "Xiangyun, I don't want you to go around in circles, I want to ask you for a favor if I have something." ”
"The old lady really tortured the slave and maid, the old lady just commanded, as long as the slave and maid could do it, the slave and maid were willing." Xiangyun knelt on the ground as soon as she heard a direct "poof" and said loudly.
"It's not a big deal, I just want you to go to Changzhou for me, are you willing?"
"This ......"
"If you don't want to, forget it, I'll find someone else."
"The slave is willing!"
Chu Changfeng basically only comes back once a month or two, and every time he comes back for three or two days, he leaves in a hurry, which makes Xu Jiayi feel distressed. Sure enough, how much ability comes to bear a lot of responsibility, others only saw that the Anping Marquis Mansion was in full swing and was favored, but who knew that they had exchanged their lives for their lives day and night.
Old lady Chu originally had several brothers, but unfortunately when he was young, he died on the battlefield in the battle more than thirty years ago, and he didn't even have a bloodline left. At present, the Anping Marquis Mansion is just a lone seedling like Chu Changfeng. So although Chu Changfeng is alone in his backyard now, it is difficult to guarantee that other concubines will not be stuffed in the back.
If he learned that he was cold, it would be even more difficult to get pregnant, but I was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to save face, so he would go directly to Chu Changfeng's room and release him.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiayi's brows furrowed tightly, and she sighed secretly.
In the past, when I was a girl, I also knew that I was cold, but I didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I am married to a woman, I know how tricky it is. Now I just hope that the medicines I drink every day have some effect, and I can slowly raise my body. Therefore, Xu Jiayi did not refuse all kinds of supplements sent by Mama Hua and Xiangqiao, and drank them directly as long as they were available.
has nothing to do, and in the past few months, I have almost visited the Anping Marquis Mansion. In addition, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Xu Jiayi doesn't like to go out and walk around anymore, and spends more time in the house reading books or doing some embroidery work. She planned to make a dress for Chu Changfeng herself.
Although Xu Jiayi's embroidery work is not as good as that of an embroiderer who specializes in this industry, it is not bad. Not only is the workmanship exquisite, but the hands and feet are also fast. Xu Jiayi made a rough estimate, and she would be able to finish her clothes in about ten days, just in time for the next time Chu Changfeng came back.
Xu Jiayi was very serious when she lowered her head to do embroidery, and she didn't look at the figure who came in from outside the courtyard gate. Cuiyun, who was sitting on the side twisting threads for Xu Jiayi, had a low neck for a long time, so he wanted to lift his neck and move, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a tearful figure standing at the gate of the courtyard, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, and touched Yuan Xiang who was bowing his head and seriously arranging the thread next to him with his arm, and lowered his voice and said, "Yuan Xiang, look at me if I'm dazzled, I seem to have seen Xiangyun." ”
Yuan Xiang frowned subconsciously when she heard Cuiyun's words, and just wanted to say that you are overly wrong with your eyes, Xiangyun is so dignified in Yanjing City, how can she appear here.
Who knew that when he raised his eyes and looked at Cuiyun's line of sight, the whole person was also surprised. Standing up violently, the silk thread that had just been sorted out was twisted into a mess at this time, but she didn't see it, but looked at Xiangyun and exclaimed, "Sister Xiangyun!" Madam, it's Xiangyun here! ”
Xu Jiayi raised her eyes, and sure enough, she saw Xiangyun, hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand and greeted her, subconsciously went behind her but found that there was no one else except her, a little loss flashed in her eyes, and the next second she smiled again, and happily took Xiangyun's hand and said loudly, "Xiangyun, why are you back here?" What about my grandmother? ”
"The old lady is old, Changzhou is far away from Yanjing City, and she can't stand it, so she didn't come with her." Xiangyun smiled and shook Xu Jiayi's hand back, seeing that her face was ruddy and in excellent condition, she knew that she had not suffered any grievances in the Anping Hou Mansion, so that the old lady could feel at ease.
"The old lady sent the slave and maid over this time, first, to visit the aunt and grandmother, and the second was to ask the aunt if she had anything she wanted, and the slave and maid wanted to return to the lord and the lady to know, and they would find a way to send it."
"I don't want anything, but I miss my relatives a little."
"How is my aunt doing? Is Uncle good to you? Xiangyun asked out loud as she helped Xu Jiayi walk into the room.
"It's all good, it's all good......"
After accompanying Xu Jiayi to talk for a while, Xiangyun said that she was going to ask Mrs. Hou for a peace, and Mo Jiao people laughed at the maid who came out of Shangshu Mansion did not know the etiquette, which shamed her aunt and grandmother. In fact, it stands to reason that as soon as she enters the mansion, she should go to ask Mrs. Chu for peace, but she is worried that she doesn't know how her aunt and grandmother are doing in the Anping Hou Mansion, so she wants to come over to see her aunt's situation first, so that she can decide what kind of attitude she should take to see Mrs. Chu.
Originally, Xiangyun meant to go to see the old lady of the Anping Hou Mansion alone, but Xu Jiayi was so happy that she didn't dare to let Xiangyun disappear from under her nose, for fear that it would be her own dream in the end, and she would be happy; The second reason was that she had a lot of questions to ask Xiangyun, so she accompanied Xiangyun to Rongyang Hall.
"Hello to Mrs. Hou, the slave's name is Xiangyun, she is the maid in front of the old lady of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, this time I took the liberty to come because the emperor rewarded some things to my aunt and aunt, my old lady knew that she was worried about her aunt and grandmother, so she specially sent the slave and maid to follow the team to send the reward to come over and visit her aunt and grandmother on her behalf." Xiangyun lowered her eyes and respectfully greeted her.
Xiangyun is a powerful maid in the old lady's house, and she has always been measured in her words and actions, and when she sees the old lady Chu at this moment, she is neither humble nor arrogant, so that people can't find the slightest mistake. Speaking of which, Xiangqiao also served in the old lady's room before entering the house with her, and then Xiangqiao was given to her mother's house.
After Mrs. Chu saw Xiangyun, her attitude was very good, she asked a few words, cared about the physical condition of her in-laws, said after a few greetings, and said that she would not disturb their reunion, and sent Xu Jiayi and the others back. Xu Jiayi was very surprised by Mrs. Chu's good attitude, but this is also the best.
After leaving Rongyang Hall, Xu Jiayi didn't have time to ask, "You just said in the house, what is the emperor's reward?" ”
