On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mama Wu called Rong Yu up early and served her to wash and change her clothes.

Although the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet is a dinner party, the nobles and women must enter the palace in the morning to pay respects, and then the people who are invited to the dinner will wait outside the palace gate to listen to the summons.

Xiao Shen's prepared for Rong Yu a short robe with mink-trimmed apricot carved silk and cotton placket, and an eight-panel skirt with the same color bluegrass.

Baozhu combed her in a tight bun and wrapped a circle of topazes around the bun.

There are many nobles at the palace banquet, and it seems that the Hou Mansion like the Rong family, which is no longer noble, must be low-key everywhere.

But it can't be too cold.

Nowadays, high-ranking families are extravagant, and if they are too simple, they will not only be despised, but also may be tricked by some tricky officials and palace maids who only respect Luo shirts and do not respect people.

After wearing it properly, the treasure pot served the japonica porridge and shrimp steamed dumplings that had been prepared, Rong Yu drank half a bowl of porridge, ate two steamed dumplings, and let the treasure pot withdraw.

After this meal, when the dinner was the next meal, Mama Wu persuaded Rong Yu to use some more porridge.

Rong Yu looked at the hourglass and said to Mama Wu: "It's okay to be hungry for half a day, it's not good to make jokes because of full food......

"I'm going to go out immediately, and I'm going to tell my grandmother what I'm going to say, please be sure to hear clearly."

"I'm not going to Suzhou for fun, do the Shen family want to blame me, or do they want to give me a promise to my little cousin......"

"We don't know ...... right now"

"I am Miss Hou Mansion in the end, no matter what the Shen family thinks, they don't dare to be rebellious, but if I take you with me, they will definitely not be afraid of you......"

"You have a husband with inconvenient legs and feet at home, and two young daughters, if I offend the Shen family, I will always be embarrassed in the future......"

"I have agreed with my eldest sister that I will go to Shaofu with Nanyan after the palace banquet tonight, and I will follow them directly from Shaofu tomorrow morning......"

"Mama, you will go straight back to Tongzhou tomorrow morning, rest at home for a few months, and when I come back, I will pick you up in Tongzhou and go home!"

Mama Wu muttered, "This, how can this work?!" ”

"Miss, you went to risk alone, but the slave hid at home and was lazy......"

Rong Yu looked at the hourglass again, stood up and walked outside the house, saying as he walked: "I'm in the same place with my eldest sister, it can't be said that I am in danger......"

"I won't take you there, just in case, lest anyone have a crooked mind......"

"You can wait for me to come back in Tongzhou with peace of mind!"

After speaking, she stood still by the courtyard gate, held Mama Wu's hand, and instructed: "Mama must do what I tell you, otherwise, it will not be good if your father notices something wrong!" ”

Mama Wu looked at Rong Yu in embarrassment.

The Shen family has a lot of wealth, and the young master of the Shen family is also good-looking, and he is close to each other, although the status of the businessman family is lower, but if the young lady likes it, it can be regarded as a marriage that is not satisfactory.

The point is, Miss now doesn't like it!

Therefore, although she had the heart to accompany Rong Yu to the Longtan Tiger's Den, she was worried that she would be pinched and helped!

It's a dilemma!

Rong Yu looked at Mama Wu's expression, and persuaded again: "Good Mama, you think for me, I know ...... in my heart."

"After hitting me to the ground, your eyes were almost glued to me, and it took a lot of effort to stare at me neatly and grow to this point."

"This time, you will let go of these tired things, go home to rest for a few days, and also hurt your own two daughters, okay?"

Time was urgent, and Mama Wu had no choice but to respond.

Rong Yu took the treasure bottle and walked towards the second gate.

Even if there was no "return to Suzhou" this time, she had planned to let Mama Wu return to her hometown at the beginning of Youning's second year.

As a slave of a grandmother, she often accompanies the little master as soon as she lands with her son, day and night, and eats and lives in the master's house, as short as two or three years, or as long as ten years or even a lifetime.

In addition to the hard work, if you don't have children in your family, you have to be separated from your family all the year round.

Therefore, those who apply for the job of grandmothers are often women from poor families who have no other way.

The same is true for Mama Wu.

Mama Wu's father is a showman, she is familiar with her mother's family, and she also knows some big truths, which is different from ordinary rough village women.

When he reached the age of marriage, he was told to be a matchmaker, married the son of the yellow butcher's family in the town, and gave birth to two daughters in a row, without worrying about food and clothing.

But when she was confined after giving birth to her second daughter, her man accidentally fell when he drove a pig back to the town from the village, and the pig ran away, and her man broke his leg.

Seeing that the ancestral craftsmanship and the life of the whole family have been broken, Mama Wu's in-laws have no good face for her, and today they scolded her for being a broom star, and complained that she couldn't give birth to a son tomorrow.

Her man sighed and felt sorry for himself all day long since he broke his leg, and he actually listened to his father's bastard words, and picked his nose and eyes at Mama Wu.

Mama Wu has a strong heart and does not want to suffer such idleness, so she gave up her infant daughter and came to work in Kyoto City as soon as she was confined.

Because she is reasonable, clean and neat, and has just come out of confinement, she was selected by Rongfu as a grandmother.

For nine years now, he has only been able to go home for a few days a year, and the monthly money of five taels of silver every month, as well as the reward money, have been brought back to the Huang family for a penny.

A woman who left her hometown and earned money to support her family, it stands to reason that if the Huang family has a conscience, they should be grateful to Mama Wu.

But there are not many people with a conscience in this world.

Mama Wu's in-laws believe that it was Mama Wu's hard life that caused her man to break his leg, so it is also appropriate for her to earn money to support the family.

Not only that, but they were also worried that Mama Wu was getting older and would not be able to give birth to a son, so they took a concubine named Le Niang for Mama Wu's man.

If she is an innocent yellow flower girl, even if she is a concubine, she will definitely not give a nest with a broken leg as a concubine.

Although Le Niang is good-looking and lively, she was actually a dusty woman, she knew that the skin and meat business was not a long-term solution after all, so she found a matchmaker to falsely report her age, and married into the Huang family as a concubine under the pretext that her family was in the middle of the road.

Le Niang had seen wealth and prosperity when she was young, and she tried her best to marry into the Huang family, but was it just to be a concubine?

What she wants to do is be a serious lady.

A hundred years later, a descendant went to her grave to offer incense.

The woman in Fireworks Willow Lane is best at coaxing men, she treats Huang Cripple obediently, Mama Wu's in-laws are also old, and now the entire Huang family is like a Le Niang.

Whenever Mama Wu, who has worked hard, goes home, she feels like a guest and suffers from idleness.

It's just that Le Niang tried her best, but she never got pregnant.

Fengchen women often take the decoction of avoiding children since childhood, and after years of injury, it is difficult to conceive.

But in the end, she had high means, and she coaxed the yellow lame man to think that there was something wrong with her body, and agreed to adopt a son to continue the incense.

Mama Wu was naturally reluctant.

She is able to bear fruit.

Therefore, in the second year of Wucheng, Mama Wu took leave and went home several times.

Although Lao Beng Huaizhu is dangerous, it is better than the adopted son.

Huang Cripple's heart is all in Le Niang, even if Mama Wu goes home, she will not have sex with her.

Mama Wu was disheartened, and Wu Cheng stopped going home for three years, but she also bit the bite and did not let go and agreed to adopt her son.

The adopted son should be recorded in the name of the head of the family and the lady, Mama Wu did not let go, and the yellow cripple was helpless.

The wretched look at Mama Wu became more and more unpleasant.

In this way, Zhengzhong Le Niang made a "suggestion" to let Huang Cripple take a break from Mama Wu.

In the spring of the second year of Youning, Mama Wu's youngest daughter drowned in the small river at the edge of the town.

Mama Wu was in mourning, and in order to save her eldest daughter's life, she invited herself to go to court.

Later, Le Niang was straightened and adopted a son.

She was greedy for bride price money, and married the eldest daughter Qiao Jie'er born to Mama Wu to a stupid son from a village member's family.

Mama Wu couldn't do anything, so she could only secretly bring some money to Sister Qiao'er, hoping that she would have a better life.

The fool doesn't understand people, Sister Qiao'er had an affair with a drama who walked the streets and sang operas, and the east window incident happened, and she was almost immersed in the pig cage.

Rong Yu came forward in the name of Princess Ning, and also paid a large amount of money to the foreigner, which was able to save Sister Qiao'er's life.

rescued an unchaste woman without authorization, and because of Sister Qiao'er, she was reprimanded by the queen mother, King Ning, and Rong Heng one after another.

She doesn't mind being reprimanded, she just hopes that Sister Qiao will be smooth from now on, so as not to worry Mama Wu.

After Sister Qiao'er married that opera, she arranged for the couple to manage a grange in the suburbs of Beijing for her, but the couple didn't know how to cook, and they were lazy to eat.

In the end, Sister Qiao coaxed a sum of money from Mama Wu to flee Kyoto, and has not been heard from since.

It's just a grange, and now Rong Yu doesn't hold a grudge against Sister Qiao.

However, I don't have a good impression of her......

She is willing to take care of the affairs of the Huang family, all for the sake of Mama Wu.

Naturally, Mama Wu couldn't continue to follow Huang Cripple......

It's just that it can't be "self-invited", but "reconciled".

The daughter and dowry should belong to Mama Wu, all of them must be taken away, and not a single straw will be left for the Huang family!

The best, this time Mama Wu is watching at home, and her little daughter can avoid dying......
