Chapter 186: Regaining Stewardship
A few days later, the palace sent someone to send two days for the Song family to choose the date of marriage.
Because Song Wu'er is not yet married, the Zhao family has discussed with Liu Guifei that they plan to wait for Song Wu'er and Lu to get married again. Concubine Liu Guifei specially mentioned this matter to the people in the palace.
The eunuchs in the palace sent a red note with the date written on it, and the Zhao family called Lou Xingzhen, who had just come out of confinement, and Chu Xun'er, who had just recovered from a serious illness, to help Song Wu'er pick a date.
The family didn't seem to have sat and chatted together for a long time, so the Zhao family called Song Wu'er over. Looking at the red note book on the table, Song Wu'er felt that time had passed too quickly, it had been almost a year since she was reborn, and this year she dumped the scumbag, and she was about to marry another person again.
In a daze for a moment, Lou Xingzhen couldn't help laughing, "It seems that our Wu'er is thinking of getting married." ”
Zhao and Chu Xun'er couldn't help laughing, and a few little maids next to them couldn't help but cover the corners of their mouths. The atmosphere was much more relaxed, not as awkward as when everyone first arrived.
Song Wu'er blushed when she heard everyone's teasing, "Don't be ashamed of me, mother!" Why did you ask me to come, you can just pick a day by yourself. ”
Zhao picked up the red note book on the table and opened it to look at the days, one was the eighteenth of the first month after the year, and the other was February. The difference between the two days is not far away, but I am afraid that it will drag on like this, and Zhao, who knows Song Wu'er very well, feels that she is afraid that she will be bored at home.
Just thinking that the daughter she had raised for so many years was going to get married, Zhao couldn't help but reddened her eyes, but fortunately, she controlled her emotions in time
, did not affect the atmosphere that had just improved.
"Since this is the case, Wu'er is in a hurry, then it will be set on the eighteenth day of the first month, and then Wu'er's ceremony will also pass."
Song Wu'er didn't have any opinions, anyway, she had already married once, and this time it was just a different person.
She has been thinking about why she is not so disgusted with marrying Lou Lichen during this time, obviously the two of them don't like each other, she used to think that it was her own rebellious psychology, and she wanted to be angry with Lou Jingyuan.
On the day Lou Jingyuan got married, she thought about it and found that she still accepted the position of the crown princess as a matter of course, knowing that this position might not be able to be kept and even her life would be in danger.
Song Wu'er comforted herself that she probably thought Lou Lichen was reliable, and saved her several times when she was most desperate.
"Mother, I've been busy with homework lately and I don't have time to take care of the house, you see..."
The air suddenly quieted down, and letting Song Wu'er take over at that time was just to help for a while, but now Lou Xingzhen is also out of confinement, and taking care of the house will not affect her body, so it stands to reason that it should be given to her.
Zhao looked at Chu Xun'er, she had just left the Chu family some time ago, and now if she felt that she was partial to her eldest daughter-in-law, she was afraid that she would be going to drill the horns again.
Chu Xun'er didn't seem to hear what Song Wu'er said, and was lowering his head and tasting the tea in the cup.
If the two people are divided again, there will inevitably be friction again, and when the two daughters-in-law have a conflict, it will be more troublesome than her own housekeeper.
After thinking about it, Zhao still spoke, "Xingzhen, your body has almost recovered, so you should be the housekeeper." Although Xun'er and Wu'er have been in charge for a while, they are not skilled after all, and they have to prepare New Year's goods and Wu'er's wedding recently, so you should come. ”
This sentence is irrefutable, Chu Xun'er didn't care about housekeeping rights before, so he was still Lou Xingzhen's housekeeper for a long time.
After speaking, Zhao's eyes wandered between the two daughters-in-law, and Song Wu'er also secretly looked at Chu Xun'er, her expression was indifferent, as if she didn't care about this at all.
This state is a bit like the second sister-in-law before she wants to take care of the house, has she figured it out now.
Lou Xingzhen also nodded cautiously, "Don't worry, mother." ”
Originally, she happily returned to the Song Mansion, and Xi'er was happy that she no longer had to look at other people's eyes, but she didn't expect that this time it was the eldest young grandmother who took away the housekeeping rights of the second young grandmother!
When she was pregnant, she threw the burden on the shoulders of their second young grandmother, and now that she has a child, she wants to take the housekeeping back?
Xi'er snorted unhappily.
I don't know if others heard this unhappy voice, but Chu Xun'er, who was closest to Xi'er, heard it. She turned her head to look at Xi'er and gave her a warning look.
After experiencing the affairs of the Chu family, Chu Xun'er felt that the harmony between the family was more important, if it was uncomfortable for everyone to compete for the right to stewardship, then she might as well not fight for anything, and she would still be idle.
Song Xuye is a military general, and it is estimated that he will not be able to take the position of the first assistant, why is he still in such a hurry to grab the right to be a housekeeper? I was really confused, and if I think about it carefully, it was all provoked by this little girl Xi'er, and I really have to talk to her when I go back.
"Sister-in-law, I heard Yun Niang say that there are several new styles of fabrics in the cloth village recently, and Xun'er wants to ask the embroidery room to help make a few new clothes?"
Coming to ask Lou Xingzhen meant that Chu Xun'er had accepted Zhao's words, and Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lou Xingzhen nodded hurriedly, "No problem, when the time comes, I will ask Yun Niang to bring the fabric to you to see, and Niang, Xun'er and Wu'er will pick it first." ”
In order to alleviate this mild and embarrassing atmosphere, everyone's topic returned to Song Wu'er. Song Wu'er was so amused by the three people that her face turned red, and she stomped her feet and ran out of the house.
Because she didn't want to annoy Lou Xingzhen during her pregnancy, Zhao didn't tell Lou Xingzhen about Li Debao at all. Lou Xingzhen, who was the housekeeper again, saw that Li Debao was not there, so he brought him back who had been degraded.
"Li Debao, the matter of purchasing New Year's goods will be handed over to you, just follow last year's line. also asked Yun Niang from Xiufang to take the new fabrics to the old lady, the second young grandmother and the young lady to pick them up, and quickly sew new clothes for them, and put the others first. ”
"By the way, and the young lady's dowry is ready? The old lady means that it is not enough, I hope it can be carried more than a dozen more, you can prepare. ”
Although Song Wu'er has a little ability, she is really not as good as Lou Xingzhen in terms of housekeeping. Lou Xingzhen arranged everything resolutely, and then asked his subordinates to move the account book to himself.
Li Debao listened to the two voices from time to time next to him, and in fact, his heart had already blossomed. During the period of being degraded, he has been sighing for a long time, and the older people are, the higher they climb, and he has fallen to the bottom.
I didn't expect it to be better than the young grandmother, and as soon as I came back, I put myself back in the position of the housekeeper, the key is that Ah Fu is now dumbfounded next to him, and he asked the eldest young grandmother what he did wrong.
He has been a housekeeper for so many years, he is much more capable than Ah Fu!
When the arrangement was almost complete, a little maid ran over, saying that the child was crying, and Lou Xingzhen hurriedly took Cui'er back to the yard. Although there is a nurse, sometimes she still likes to feed the child herself.
It may be the excitement of being a first-time mother, and now she thinks about it when she can't see her child.
Watching Lou Xingzhen leave, Li Debao's tail was about to go to the sky. He looked at Ah Fu gloatingly, and said mockingly: "Look, I'll just say that I, Li Debao, will come back, you are still too tender, eighty percent of the young grandmother is not happy, and I will directly belittle you!" ”
Ah Fu held his breath in his heart, but he had nothing to say, after Lou Xingzhen made Li Debao a housekeeper, he didn't arrange any work for him, did the young grandmother want to drive him away? He really didn't do anything wrong.
Although he didn't care so much about the position of housekeeper, since the old lady made him the position of housekeeper, he couldn't live up to the old lady's expectations of himself. Now that he's been demoted for no reason, he needs a reason to convince himself.
Ignoring Li Debao's cynicism, Ah Fu walked in the yard alone in despair, just as Song Wu'er passed by and saw that Ah Fu was about to walk into the pond. Falling into a pond in the middle of winter is no joke, it has to freeze.
"Ah Fu, what are you doing?"
Song Wu'er shouted, Ah Fu only cared about his own affairs, didn't hear it at all, and walked straight forward. Chun'er saw that he was about to fall into the pond, so she quickly ran over and grabbed him.
"Ah Fu, what about Miss calling you, look at you are about to walk into the pond, what happened to make you so distracted?"
Ah Fu looked at the pond in front of him, why did he walk away from the direction, he turned around and looked at Song Wu'er embarrassedly.
"Miss, I'm worried about you. The little one just had nothing to do, so he had to take a walk in the garden to pass the time, but he didn't expect to be shaken for a while, did the young lady find me something? ”
Song Wu'er was a little puzzled, "My sister-in-law said that it is the busiest day in the house now, why are you still so leisurely as a housekeeper?" Are you too tired and want to rest, then just tell me, I'll give you a few days off, and come back when you're rested, otherwise this kind of unwillingness will affect what you have to do. ”
Ah Fu sighed, "I'm no longer the housekeeper in this house." The young grandmother called Li Debao back, and he is now the housekeeper. ”
Why is this Li Debao again, thinking of this fat head and big ears, laughing with an oily face, Li Debao, who still looks down on people from time to time, is really unappetizing, wasn't he belittled by the Zhao family because of greed for money before? How did you come back again?
Afraid that Song Wu'er would misunderstand, Ah Fu hurriedly explained: "The young grandmother shouldn't know about that incident, it's just that after I was demoted, the young grandmother didn't arrange anything for me, and my previous work was replaced by someone, so I felt a little panicked when I was free, didn't the young grandmother want to drive me away, miss, I didn't do anything wrong!" ”
Song Wu'er felt that her sister-in-law was not that kind of person, and she was afraid that she really didn't know about Li Debao. But Ah Fu didn't do anything wrong, so it didn't seem appropriate to belittle him for no reason.
"Don't worry, I'll ask my sister-in-law, if you don't do anything well, you also have a bottom in your heart. Now that you're so busy, there's always something you need to help with, so I'll stop by and ask. ”
Ah Fu happily knelt down and kowtowed to Song Wu'er, "Thank you, Miss." ”
