Chapter 22: Praise for being strong and unyielding
Aunt Zhuang's worries were not unreasonable, but she didn't expect that the eldest lady waved her hand slightly without care, and her words were very casual.
"Don't mention them, the meal is coming."
As soon as it fell, Liu Yi led a few maids with trays and walked in, five dishes and one soup, or pigeon stewed broth, which was the most nourishing.
Aunt Zhuang lived in the countryside for a month, during which it was all coarse tea and light rice, and the best dish was just meat and eggplant.
"Come, auntie, try it."
In a daze, a small white bowl with pigeon soup was handed over.
"It's hot, be careful."
Listening to the voice of concern, and then looking at the soft smile on the eldest lady's face, and then refusing, it was obvious that she didn't know what to do.
"Thank you, Miss." Responding in a low voice, he hurriedly took it, and then drank it in small sips, and did not pick up other dishes.
During this period, Qin Yunshu kept serving vegetables to Aunt Zhuang, but she didn't eat much herself.
This meal was the best and fullest Aunt Zhuang had eaten in a month, and if she hadn't tried to restrain herself, she would have burped.
"Miss, the meal is delicious."
"The cook of the Qin Mansion, you will be able to taste it every day in the future. Whatever you want to eat, just tell me to go down. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Yunshu looked at Liu Yi, "Leave a word for the kitchen, the food I sent to my aunt these days has changed its tricks." ”
"Yes, miss."
When Aunt Zhuang heard this, she hurriedly said, "Miss, I can't help it!" ”
The corners of Qin Yunshu's lips were hooked, and his voice was full of affirmation, "You are Shuyou's mother, and he is the male heir of the long house, and you can completely bear it." ”
After that, she even instructed Liu Yi to bring high-quality black tea, and specially ordered the maid to send it to her aunt's courtyard.
Qin Yunshu stayed with Aunt Zhuang for more than an hour, and finally personally sent her out of the cloud courtyard.
The sudden change of the eldest lady, passing by the maid saw it in her eyes, and slowly spread.
Undoubtedly, no slave dares to be disrespectful to Aunt Zhuang, and when he sees her coming from afar, he salutes and greets.
Qin Yunshu saw it in his eyes, and he was in the house for two days in a row, and went to his aunt's courtyard from time to time.
When Mrs. Qin heard this, her eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and she was happy in her heart. After so many years, the hurdle in Shu'er's heart has finally passed, and the Qin Mansion is more harmonious than before.
The past two days have been particularly peaceful, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites have been very busy. And this Ministry of Rites Shangshu has to ask Taifu Qin again on such a major matter.
Therefore, Qin Yunshu almost didn't see his father until the day of the Ningjiang banquet came.
Whenever there was a feast, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would send a palace carriage to pick up the lady and lady from the courtier's mansion.
Early in the morning, a carriage inlaid with gold wire and hung with bright yellow tassels entered the Qin Mansion.
Qin Yunshu was dressed in a pink dress, the fabric was soft, made of high-quality silk in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was wearing a soft shirt inside.
The skirt is like a wave, reflecting the jasper beads on the bun, which is very good-looking.
The sky is also beautiful, warmer than yesterday, the wind is not strong, the golden sun is not dazzling, and it is particularly comfortable to shine on the body.
"Miss, your appearance can't be compared to other young ladies!" The corners of Liu Yi's lips were raised high, and his eyes were full of pride.
Qin Yunshu looked at her like this, and deliberately raised his hand to gently scratch her nose, "The mouth is sweet like this, it's a blessing to marry your man." ”
When Liu Yi was teased like this, his ears immediately turned red, and he was anxious, "Miss! ”
"Your young lady is going out." Qin Yunshu chuckled, took out a green gauze from the dresser cabinet with his right hand, and put it on in front of the mirror, revealing only a pair of smart eyes.
The hazy beauty scattered out, making others curious about the face under the veil.
"Miss Qin, I'm going to Ningjiang at the right time."
A shrill voice came from outside the door, and the father-in-law, who had come with the carriage to pick him up, came to urge.
"Here it is."
As he spoke, he straightened his appearance again, and stepped out of the house after a while, "Grandpa Sun has been waiting for a long time." ”
"Where is the girl, please."
The one who was sent to pick up Qin Yunshu was a senior father-in-law in charge of the palace, who originally served the concubine, and was the sister of the queen mother of the dynasty.
Since the concubine returned to the west, he was transferred to the queen mother, and he has been serving until now, and everyone respectfully calls him grandpa.
He came to pick it up in person, and he must have accepted the will of the Queen Mother. This kind of glory falls in the eyes of other noble girls, and it is rarely envied.
For Qin Yunshu, it is different from the previous life.
Although the Queen Mother is kind and kind-eyed, she has never been close to any noble girl on the surface. No matter which mansion, whoever pleases her, she will reward whomever she wants, and a bowl of water is very flat.
In this life, she sent her father-in-law to pick her up.
In the midst of the surprise, the people also arrived at the gate, and with the support of the palace maid, Qin Yunshu was about to get into the carriage.
At this moment, an anxious woman called softly, "Yun Shu." ”
Even if she hasn't seen her for many days, Qin Yunshu is very familiar with that voice, her eyes narrowed, why did she come?
Zhao Ruyu walked in a maid's costume, and her movements were unnatural when she walked.
Qin Yunshu subconsciously looked at it, and her eyes fell on her buttocks, the eldest lady of Zhaofu would not ask her for a doctor, and the injury would definitely not be healed. But she not only got out of bed, but also walked to the Qin Mansion.
endured severe pain, this perseverance, what should she say, praise her strength and unyielding?
At this moment, Zhao Ruyu also walked in front of Qin Yunshu.
In the end, Father-in-law Sun is the father-in-law in charge, and it is clear at a glance that the woman who suddenly appeared is the concubine of Zhaofu, and Mei Yan was rewarded by the Queen Mother before.
In the current situation, it is inconvenient for him to intervene. So, he waved his hand slightly, sent the nearest palace maid and eunuch, and waited quietly on his side.
Zhao Ruyu saw that the person was far away, and immediately whispered, "You promised me, as long as I am well, you will take me there." ”
Qin Yunshu looked at her carefully, "Yes, I said this, but ......"
"What's wrong, you regretted it?"
No, if you agree, you have to do it, the Ningjiang banquet is very important to her.
Qin Yunshu smiled and shook his head, "Am I this kind of person?" It's just that you can't follow me in, even if you're a maid. ”
"Why not, don't all the nobles have to bring maids?"
She doesn't understand, why can't she do it, isn't this how Mei Yan was brought in? Even if everyone knew her identity later, the Queen Mother didn't blame her, what can others say?
"Ruyu, today is not an ordinary banquet, the noble lady is served by a specially trained palace maid. If you want to go in, you have to wear a palace maid's dress. ”
After saying that, Qin Yunshu turned around, and with a little look, Grandpa Sun understood.
"Help the girl of the Qin family to get into the carriage."
With an order, the palace maids on both sides stepped up, and Zhao Ruyu couldn't speak if she wanted to, so she watched Qin Yunshu go up.
Until the axle grunted and turned, she could only stand stiffly. It means that she understands that it's not that she doesn't help, but that the rules are too strict.
If you want to get in, you can only find a way to get a set of palace maid clothes. A thick unwillingness rose from his heart, and the festering wound was painful sharply.
No one understands her, step by step, how difficult it is! She can overcome the pain in her bones, nothing can defeat her!
