Song Zixun was stunned, "Chu Shenyao? How did he get here? ”

"I said that I went to Yunyang Mansion to visit an old man, and I traveled around by the way." Du Rongzhi helped him tie his belt and hang up the jade sachet, "It's a coincidence that Master Chen's mother is sick this time, and he has taken a long leave from the school...... When Gongzi Chu saw the notice to hire a master, he looked for it. Du Rongzhi smiled, "You don't know, he is very funny, very popular with the children, every time after class, the children surround him to ask questions......

Song Zixun raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Why have you been going to women's school a lot lately?" ”

Du Rongzhi smiled and stopped talking.

Song Zixun sighed amusedly, "If you go, you will go, I don't blame you...... Why are you silent again? ”

Du Rongzhi pursed her lips, "I know you don't like it...... But you and Sister Guan are not at home these days, and I don't even have anyone to talk to, so ......"

"I know." Song Zixun took her hand and smiled warmly, "Now that I'm back, you don't have to be afraid of stuffiness anymore." ”

Du Rongzhi hummed lightly and smiled lightly, "It's not too early, let's set the table." ”

……………………

After lunch, Song Zixun went directly to the Yamen, while Du Rongzhi continued to pack up the items he brought back from the capital—the most fashionable clothes and fabrics in the capital now, as well as several sets of jewelry customized by Debaoxuan, the first treasure store, and some books...... The things she brought with her alone accounted for most of them.

"Madame has told you to try this recipe...... This is what she finally asked to find out. Many women have been taking care of the big fat boy for several months! Mama An cherished the box very preciously, and it was the prescription that Mrs. Du found for Du Rongzhi to ask for a child.

Du Rongzhi glanced at her with interest and lack of money, and handed it to her casually, "How many doctors have I seen in the past few years, and how many prescriptions I have tried, it is useless...... Why does mother still do these useless work......" There was an indescribable loneliness in her tone.

Mama An's nose was sour, and she smiled busily, "What is the young lady talking about!" You're only 20 years old this year, and it's a good time to have children, so why is it useless! Honestly, our wife was also married to the master for five or six years, and it took more than ten years before giving birth to our second young master...... It can be seen that the matter of this heir is not in a hurry. Sending the son Guanyin is in mind! ”

Yuan Yuan listened and nodded quickly.

Du Rongzhi smiled, looked at the four seasons begonias by the window in a daze, and said softly, "Mother and heir are difficult, and I have always felt ashamed of my father in my heart...... So I carried him room after room and aunt, and then I had my eldest brother, second sister, and third sister......" She turned her head and asked seriously, "Mama, do you think I'm too selfish?" Knowing that he injured his body in childbirth that year, he may not be able to have another child in this life...... But I still don't want to give him to anyone else. ”

She lowered her head and muttered, "I know that the elders have been putting pressure on him for the past few years, and I know that he is forced to do all this, but I still can't help but think about it...... Why can't he hold on for me a little longer? Why stab me in the heart when I rely on him the most and trust him the most......" She smiled self-deprecatingly, "At the end of the day, I'm too selfish." ”

"Nonsense!" Mama An's eyes were hot, and she reproached distressedly, "It's human nature that you think like this—what woman in this world is indifferent to seeing her man taking a concubine?" If you really don't care, we need to be even more anxious! Besides, your situation is different from our wife...... The slave maid also said something disrespectful today - if it weren't for the fact that our lady was too good and virtuous, she lifted the Zhao family to the master early, and raised the uncle she gave birth to under her knees, then the Zhao family could make the lard blindfold her heart, and as soon as she learned that the lady was pregnant with the second young master, she would have a bad heart? It's thanks to your alertness that you saw through her tricks, if not, it's two lives! You said that our master is afraid in retrospect, is he afraid? Regret or not? "90 look

Du Rongzhi smiled bitterly and shook her head, "But the Zhao family finally gave birth to my father's eldest brother...... For this reason, my father has been very grateful to my mother for her tolerance and generosity for many years. ”

Mama An sighed, "According to what the slave said, like some families restrain their children and grandchildren, and only if they have no children at forty can they take concubines, then it is really the right way!" Anyway, they are men, and they can still give birth to sons when they are seventy or eighty......"

Du Rongzhi couldn't help but smile and said, "I've known Mama for so many years, and it's the first time I've heard you say such a thing......

Mama An smiled sheepishly, "Isn't the slave afraid of teaching the young lady badly...... Don't be surprised if you say something wrong. ”

Du Rongzhi smiled and shook her head, "No, I love to hear you." ”

Seeing that Du Rongzhi finally showed a smile, Mama An also breathed a sigh of relief, and changed her words, "Don't blame Mama for being too talkative-our eldest young master is different from other men, he is really single-minded to you, and he has nothing to say." Aunt You's matter, he was also very helpless. He even had the idea of leaving Miss Sun in the capital to reject the old lady......"

Sure enough, I saw Du Rongzhi frowning.

"But he knows that Miss Sun is your lifeblood, and you can't bear to say anything, so you have to compromise with your family......" Mama An sighed lightly, "The ins and outs of this matter can be seen clearly...... You can't get into trouble with your grandfather again for this......"

Du Rongzhi pursed her lips in silence.

remembered the cautious look he had when he spoke to her......

Du Rongzhi nodded slightly, "You said this, I know ......"

Yuan Yuan secretly winked at Mama An, who hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot, "Since the young lady knows, she should be more concerned about her own affairs." She took out the recipe again, "According to the slave maid, Madame gave this recipe, and we will catch it and eat it." No one knows which cloud has rain - if it works, everyone will be happy, but it won't be useful, and we should all take care of your body...... It can be regarded as living up to the hard work of the lady, right? ”

Du Rongzhi was silent for a while, and finally sighed lightly, "Then let's eat." ”

"Hey!" Mama An was suddenly overjoyed, "The slave maid is going to ask someone to grab the medicine!" "I'm going to go out.

Du Rongzhi stopped her with tears and laughter, "My good mother, you can rest first...... You've just come back, and you're not too tired! ”

Yuan Yuan also stepped forward, took the prescription from Mama An's hand, and said with a smile, "Mama leave this matter to me." ”

Mama An couldn't help laughing and said, "The slave maid is also ......anxious," and as she was talking, she heard the little girl outside reply through the curtain, "Young lady, Aunt You has come to greet you." ”
