Chapter 168: Back then
Back in the pavilion, Zhu Jiu was thoughtful, and then called Aunt Jin to ask about the day before last.
Aunt Jin listened to her own girl ask about the eighth day of the previous year, and that day was the day when Miss Zhu Ba was taken care of by the door.
At that time, the slaves and maids were still in the courtyard, and they were not very honest about some of the movements in the gates of the courtyards. However, when it comes to Laba walking around a day in advance, this was indeed the case in the North Courtyard the year before last. "Aunt Kim remembers this.
In Laba the year before last, the north courtyard was a day in advance on the seventh day of the new year, and the girls in the door had to go to the door to walk around.
Historically, the people have also lived the day before, but in the Zhujia Gate, it was the first time.
When Zhu Jiu heard Aunt Jin say this, he couldn't help asking, "One day in advance, could it be that you hit the day?" Dudu's North Courtyard walked around a day in advance, and the other courtyards didn't do so? ”
"Yes, it was true that the year before last, only the North Courtyard walked around the day before. It is also the mouth of the second house of the North Courtyard and the ancestors, and the North Courtyard lived the day before. If you want to talk about the collision, I haven't heard of anything about it. ”
Aunt Jin thought about it, and then said, "It's better for the slave to send someone to inquire." ”
"I'm going to inquire."
Zhu Jiu is puzzled, the Zhu family has never walked around a day in advance, how can the North Courtyard not be the same the year before last.
If it weren't for the day when something big happened, it wouldn't be like this.
But Aunt Jin has never heard of this, why would the housewife of the second room of the North Courtyard do this?
Now that I think about it, she and her sister only used the same bowl of laba porridge in the second room, because they had used it in the north dean's room, and they were a little full.
Therefore, my sister did not let anyone add another bowl, and drank a bowl with her.
Later, after coming out of the second room, Da Mo was also due to her weak body, and the effect of the medicine was faster, and then she was sent back to the South Courtyard by Zhao's mother first.
If she can sort this matter out, why is Mrs. Yun, who was an aunt at the time, also in the North Courtyard?
I also saw Zhu Heng pull my sister into the door.
Previously, Zhu Heng did not have a good reputation in the Zhu family, this person likes to eat, drink and have fun, but he is a little unmotivated, and he is a treasure of the Ming family, and he has been spoiled since he was a child.
But before the incident with my sister, I had never heard of him having such a heart.
Zhu Jiu thought about this, then got up and explained to Aunt Jin: "Aunt Jin, prepare some food and snacks, I'll go to the South Courtyard for a walk." ”
"Yes."
Aunt Jin got the word and asked Nanlin to prepare it, and then picked up the food box and followed her girl to the South Courtyard.
Mrs. Yun recently sent someone to visit Zhu Jiu in the West Courtyard, but she didn't go over, and it was not good for her to go over to see people.
Now February is coming, and in a few days it will be the day when the second dragon will raise its head in February.
Thinking of the auspicious days, Mrs. Yun asked Liu's mother to take the portraits of those beautiful girls, and pick a good day to go to the door in a few days.
Now that Zhu Hong's family is unable to raise again, it is time to add another flat wife and a few concubines to Zhu Kun, so that he can extend his heirs as soon as possible.
After all, they got married three years ago, and they haven't seen a child under their knees until now.
The man was watching inside the house, and the maid who was waiting outside came in and said, "Madam, the girl is here." ”
"Let people in." When Madame Yun heard this, she hurriedly put the portrait aside.
Zhu Jiu entered the house, looked at the portrait placed under Mrs. Yun's hand, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Mother, do you have a good look?" ”
"Look, you also come to palm your eyes, there are a lot of girls with good faces, it's not about her character." Mrs. Yun said, beckoned to Zhu Jiu, and asked people to sit down beside her.
When Liu's mother saw the girl coming, she hurriedly asked someone to prepare the tea that the girl liked to drink.
Aunt Jin brought a snack, first handed it to the maid to take it down and prepare it, and then sent one to Zhu Hong's yard.
Zhu Jiu heard this and glanced at the portraits, "The people on these portraits are all Peugeot, and the matchmakers can send them to the Zhu family are good." ”
"Yes, these girls are from good backgrounds."
Mrs. Yun already had a picture, and as she spoke, she took a few of the portraits, and the portrait of the first girl was about to marry into the door, and she also asked people to inquire secretly.
"This girl is the daughter of the second room of the Zhao family in Nancheng, and she will be fourteen in half a month. I thought about it, I chose the day of February 2 to come to the door to get married, and the two girls in the photo will join the door next year. ”
Look, Mrs. Yun said that she was happy, and she was also very satisfied with the girls in the portrait.
Listening to the footsteps outside, Zhu Jiu took a sip of tea, and his eyes were slightly concentrated: "My sister-in-law only had a miscarriage last year, and now it hasn't been long since I followed my brother into the door, and it is not appropriate for my mother to be in a hurry to marry my brother at the moment." ”
The people who came outside listened to the sound coming from the house, and they paused for a moment, and the smile on Fang Cai's face froze.
"I pity her, but after all, she has nothing to show for the future. Kun Xiaozi has been married for three years, her first child has not been saved, this year is the fourth year, and she will not marry until next year, which is not in a hurry. ”
Mrs. Yun had received Zhu Jiu's words before, and Zhu Hong's family had not been harsh.
But after three years of marriage, she didn't land on the ground when she conceived her first child, and she begged for the punishment of Zhutangyuan for the rest of her life.
What's more, this year is set to enter the door next year!
The people in the house were talking, and Liu's mother's voice came from outside: "Young lady, why didn't you go in, the girl will also be in the house!" ”
"It's not a rare trip for Sister Jiu'er, and it's not easy to go in and bother." Zhu Hongshi pulled the corners of his mouth, and his face was very bad.
Liu's mother glanced into the room.
When Mrs. Yun heard the voice outside, she raised her eyebrows a little displeased, "Come in." ”
Zhu Hong's family didn't go in, and she panicked in her heart, and when she heard Mrs. Yun calling her, she had to walk into the door.
"I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a few days, and I see that I have lost a lot." Zhu Jiu lowered his eyes slightly, and when he saw Zhu Hong's coming in, he got up to salute.
She heard what she said, and hurriedly raised Zhu Jiuyi: "Is my sister okay in the West Courtyard?" A few days ago, I heard that you are not used to it, and you are tired after the New Year. ”
"I'm fine."
Zhu Jiu sat down after speaking, and Zhu Hong nodded and did not speak again.
There are three people in this room, and it is inevitable that the atmosphere is a little inappropriate.
What Mrs. Yun said just now also fell into people's ears, just by looking at Zhu Hong's face.
Zhu Hong couldn't sit still, and his eyes were red. Zhu Jiu still spoke openly, seeing that Zhu Hong's clothes were thin, let people go back to the courtyard to add clothes first.
"It's still my sister who is careful, I just heard that my sister is coming, and I'm in a hurry to go out, so I'll go back and add clothes." With tears in his eyes, Zhu Hong got up and hurriedly saluted and went back to the courtyard.
When the people left, Mrs. Yun always felt that there was something wrong with Fang Cai and Jiu'er. But after thinking about it, Zhu Jiu has never been concerned about such a trivial matter, presumably she thinks too much.
