Chapter 219: Ridiculous
Why is she here?! Xun Shao was surprised.
Cai Qiuniang hurriedly said: "The weather has been very hot recently, and the concubine asked Sister Zhangzhu to come here to soak in the soup to cool off." β
Her name is Fu Zhangzhu?! Xun Shao pursed his lips and did not speak.
Fu Zhangzhu got up and saluted Xun Shao slightly, but he kept avoiding his gaze and never took his eyes past him. When husband and wife get together, it seems a little redundant that she is still in the pestle, so Zhangzhu said: "I'll go out for a walk." β
Seeing this, Cai Qiuniang hurriedly said: "Don't go far, I'll take you to take a good look around the scenery when you go back." β
However, she was not in the mood to look at the scenery, and Zhangzhu turned around and left the room. After Fu Zhangzhu left, Cai Qiuniang hurriedly poured tea with her husband, and said, "Why did you suddenly come back today?" β
"I have something to do to return to Beijing temporarily. When I got home, they said you came here. β
Cai Qiuniang said again: "Mother said that it has been too hot recently and wants to come out to cool off. β
Xun Shao drank a cup of tea, and then said, "Are you very close to that Fu Shi?" β
Cai Qiuniang hurriedly said: "She cured Brother Qing'er's illness, I have always been very grateful to her, I didn't hear that she came back from the Taiping Bureau, so I wanted to ask her out to walk around." Speaking of which, I admire her a lot, although her life is hard, but she lives braver than anyone else. β
Xun Shao did not interrupt his wife's nagging, and continued to listen to her.
"I respect her medical skills very much, and there is nothing to say, and it is not easy for her to gain a foothold in the capital as an orphan girl, so I also told her that if she has difficulties in the future, she will speak directly to us. Zijun, it's okay for me to get close to her, right? β
"It's okay, it's better for you to be close to her, and it's better to get something out of her mouth." After all, she had a close relationship with Chu Yuanzhen, and he hoped that he could learn about Chu Yuanzhen's situation from Fu Zhangzhu.
Is this the use of Fu Zhangzhu? Cai Qiuniang was a little unbearable, but she had no regrets for her husband.
"Zijun, she is an orphan girl and a widow, what should I pay special attention to when she is helpless in the capital?"
Xun Shao was a little puzzled: "Is she a widow?" Who do you listen to? β
"Herself."
Xun Shao secretly said that it can't be wrong, no matter how crippled Chu is, it is impossible to marry a widow, he thought for a while, and then said: "You pay more attention to everything, if you notice anything wrong, tell me." β
"Do you think there's something wrong with her?"
"I can't say it for the time being, but she has something to do with that cripple in King Rong's mansion, so it's always right for you to help me keep an eye on it."
Cai Qiuniang agreed repeatedly, and Xun Shao sat for a while, until one of his subordinates found him something, and he hurried back to the city.
Xun Shao walked out of the house and was walking outside, when he caught a glimpse of Zhangzhu sitting under the eaves over there and talking to a maid at home. He couldn't help but look at it twice, why every time he saw the palm beads, he always thought of Xie Ruoyi. As soon as he thought of Xie Ruoyi, his head began to hurt.
"It must be hell!" Xun Shao scolded in a low voice, and then went out without looking back.
The maid who was talking to Zhangzhu had served Xun Xuan before, and after Xun Xuan got married, she was assigned to Cai Qiuniang's side. The maid is called willow branch, and the palm bead used to be naturally known.
"Brother Qing was born on the fifteenth day of May, and the fortune teller said that our Brother Qing is the best figure."
Zhangzhu pretended to inquire unintentionally: "I see that Brother Qing'er is a little weak, and I am afraid that I will be sick when I am young, right?" β
Liu Zhi smiled: "The little boy was actually quite well-behaved half a year ago, he ate and slept every day, and when he woke up, he would play by himself." Born white and fat, the lord and the lady like it very much. But after half a year old, my body was not so good, first I had diarrhea, then I had a high fever, and then I had a cough, and I didn't know how much medicine I took for three months. Later, it was the little boy's grandmother who took him to the temple to ask for a charm, burned it into water, and drank it before he slowly stopped. The senior monk said that our little boy had some tribulations, and after those tribulations, he slowly got better. β
"Premature babies are inevitably weaker, how much did the little boy weigh when he was born?"
Liu Zhi said: "It's not light, it's five catties and four taels." β
There are five catties and four taels born in seven months, so if you wait until full-term, you can't get nine catties? A big fat boy? Zhangzhu once again had a hint of suspicion about the premature birth.
"Five pounds and four taels, I'm afraid that a full-term child may not be so big."
Liu Zhi said with a smile: "Yes, they all say that our grandmother is blessed." β
Zhangzhu still wanted to inquire, but when she saw Cai Qiuniang coming, she got up, Cai Qiuniang took Zhangzhu's arm and smiled gently: "Let's go, let's see the lotus." There is a boat over there, and we are also happy to have a good time. β
"If Lord Xun is here, I'm just afraid of inconvenience."
"Whatever he does, he is in a hurry to leave before the stool is hot. Yes, he has a lot to do, and it's rare to go home, I'm used to it. β
Cai Qiuniang wanted to take Zhangzhu to take a boat, Zhangzhu Fang remembered that she had been seasick in Shouhuang Temple, and she was a little afraid to get on the boat when she just arrived.
Cai Qiuniang is only afraid of water when she is a palm bead: "Don't be afraid, these boat girls are veterans, and they are very stable!" β
"I'm afraid of seasickness."
"The lake is not big, and when we get to the other side, we go ashore." Cai Qiuniang pulled the palm bead and got on the boat. This is an ordinary painting boat. The palm beads sat on the beauty's lean, and the white veil hung from the window. She looked out the window and saw a white heron perched on a green lotus leaf.
"Grandma, you just talked about your first encounter with Lord Xun, and then Lord Xun interrupted when he came, can you continue to talk about it, I really want to hear it." Zhangzhu looked very interested.
Cai Qiuniang pursed her lips and smiled: "It was all a few years ago. Thinking of the original incident, her cheeks were secretly dyed red, and her eyes were full of tenderness at this moment, as if she had returned to the girlhood of spring.
"In the spring of that year, my mother and I went to the Xun family for a banquet, and I happened to see him at the Xun family's banquet. Zijun had a good reputation in the capital in the early years, and it was said that he was handsome and extremely talented, and when he saw such a fairy-like character, he couldn't help but take a look at it, and he happened to be discovered, and he nodded and smiled at me. But I really knew him when I went to the bookstore with the maid to buy a famous painting of my predecessors, and I took a fancy to that one time, but someone wanted to seize it, and then he came forward to buy it and sent it to our Cai family. At that time, I thought this person was very interesting, and I had a lot of contact with each other, and then I successfully got married. β
Zhangzhu asked a little blankly: "What year was that?" β
"Eight years in the spring."
In the spring of the eighth year of Yuanjia, when Xun Shao was still her fiancΓ©, when she thought that Xun Shao was in love with her, he secretly hooked up with other women. It's a pity that she has been kept in the dark, and she only found out today. What a ridiculous thing to do.
