Chapter IV The State Mansion
Zhou Zheng went to the border with him, and two years later, Zhou Jinxuan was afraid that his wife would miss her daughter, so he sent her back in a low-key manner.
At this time, Lin Yu, the Duchess of Wu, finished reading the account books in the house, so she brought a few servants to take care of the peach blossoms in the courtyard.
Lin Yu loves peach blossoms, and Zhou Zhengzheng's love for peach blossoms is also inherited from Lin Yu.
The faint sunlight sprinkled down, and Lin Yu's face seemed to be dyed with a layer of golden light, which was exceptionally beautiful and peaceful.
She wore a ginger plain gown today, a moon-white lace eight-piece Hunan skirt, a crow-blue hair with only a plum hairpin, and a rice-grain-sized purple stone pendant embedded in her ears.
After receiving the letter, he learned that Zhou Zhengzheng would arrive in the capital today, and sent guards to greet him as soon as possible.
Her six-year-old son, Zhou Yuheng, pestered her and asked her when her sister would come back.
Zhou Jinxuan only has a wife of Lin Xuan, no concubine, Lin Xuan and Zhou Jinxuan in the same year, married at the age of eighteen, gave birth to Zhou Zheng and son Zhou Yuheng, and was pregnant with a daughter when her husband went to the border, and now the daughter is almost two years old, Zhou Jinxuan named the youngest daughter Xiaoxiao in the letter. The implication is always smiling.
Lin Yu gave Zhou Yuheng a haircut on his forehead, and put the red gold bell hanging around his neck into the round neck, "Sister will be back soon, does Yuheng miss his sister?" ”
"Of course, I made a gift for my sister." The six-year-old son looks like a little adult.
"Oh, where's the gift?"
"I won't tell my mother until my sister comes." Zhou Yuheng said confidentially.
Lin Yu was amused, "Okay, good, the gift for my sister, my mother can't look at it." ”
Soon, Zhou Zhengzheng came back, and Mama Yun went to report to Lin Yu first.
Lin Yu took Zhou Yuheng with him, followed by several grandmothers and maids, and a grandmother also pulled Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was less than two years old, to the main hall together.
Soon, a little thing like a bud threw itself into Lin Yu's arms.
"Mother-" Zhou Zhengzheng couldn't help but cry when he saw his mother again.
The tears couldn't stop flowing, no one could persuade her, Lin Yu was very distressed when she saw it, and she personally took a handkerchief to wipe her daughter's face, "Ah Zheng misses his mother?" At the same time, I also wondered in my heart, why I haven't seen each other for two years, Zhou Zhengzheng has cried into tears, could it be that the life at the border is really too bitter?
"My daughter misses her mother very much, and she misses her mother very much." Zhou Zhengzheng also knew that it was not good to cry like this, but where could she bear it, she thought that she would never see her mother again.
"Sister, don't you want me?" A child's voice burst out from under his arm.
It's the second brother Zhou Yuheng!
A puffy bun face, big sparkling eyes, stretched out a soft little hand to hug Zhou Zhengzheng's hand, and Zhou Zhengzheng hugged him distressedly.
"And this is my little sister smiling." Zhou Zheng pinched Xiao Xiaoxiao's little face, Zhou Xiaoxiao had never seen Zhou Zheng, and she cried.
"When you and your father left for the border pass, Xiaoxiao was only three months old." Lin Yu took her little daughter from her grandmother's arms, "Naughty and crying, but if she is familiar with you, she won't cry no matter what you do." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Xiaoxiao got into her mother's arms, she stopped crying, Zhou Zhengzheng shook her wave drum, and Zhou Xiaoxiao giggled.
In her previous life, her younger siblings had a tragic end. The younger brother was originally a very well-behaved child, but who knew that he played with the second uncle's sister-in-law, and when he grew up, he did bad things all day long, and he couldn't pass the fame test. But Zhou Yuheng is obviously a prodigy who can write poems at the age of three. In the end, he was beheaded with the Duke of Wu Guo's mansion.
And Zhou Xiaoxiao was elected to the palace, and was killed inexplicably not long after.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengzheng's heart ached.
Now that she is back, she will not let the people she loves repeat the tragedy of the previous life!
Seeing that it was not too early, Lin Yu asked a few grandmothers to take Zhou Zheng to wash and dust, and then set up a meal in the main courtyard.
After dinner, Zhou Yuheng went back to his room, Lin Yu took Zhou Xiaoxiao to the account room, and several grandmothers sent Zhou Zhengzheng to see the boudoir that Lin Yu had newly arranged for her.
The room was lit with dim candles, the rhombus mahogany step bed, the clove-colored gold-edged silk tent hung down, the gilded crescent hooks were buckled on both sides, and a multi-treasure pavilion was set up on the right, in which all kinds of playthings of enamel and green jade were placed, in front of the window was a set of rosewood bookcase, the plum vase with blue and white on a white background was inserted with early spring flowers, and there were several pots of white camellia at the foot of the desk.
"Is the big girl still satisfied?" A grandmother smiled and said, "This is the closest to Madame's yard, if there is anything missing, just tell the old slave, and the old slave will go and get it." ”
Zhou Zhengzheng stroked the objects in the boudoir, his eyes flashed with water, and he muttered: "There is nothing missing, it's just that I want to prepare a futon for me, and I want to sleep with my mother at night." ”
The eldest girl hasn't seen her wife for two years, and she wants to be closer to her wife, which is human nature.
There was also a rouge box on the bookcase, and the lid of the box was lined with flowers and birds, and she gently scratched it with her fingertips, and the soft red was left on her fingertips.
Zhou Zhengzheng looked at himself in the carved bronze mirror, his skin was like clotted fat, his eyes were like autumn water, his lips were not red, his body was soft, and he looked like a dewy bud, although he was only eight years old, he was a natural beauty embryo.
With such a family and such an appearance, she lived in such a miserable situation in her previous life, just like a good deck of cards, but she made a mistake step by step and made a mess.
Is your poker skill bad? Sort of.
Reaching out to smear the rouge on his face, he suddenly heard a sound of broken footsteps.
"Girl, you're back."
With joyful shouts, several girls who were about seven or eight years old were carried by Narcissus and ran over.
Zhou Zheng saw it clearly, weren't these the two second-class maids in her room, Qingyun and Hongyue?
Seeing Qingyun, Zhou Zheng was extremely happy, and what accompanied her all her life in her previous life was the loyal Qingyun.
However, when his eyes touched the red moon, Zhou Zhengzheng's gaze flashed with a trace of coldness, and the corners of his mouth hooked.
In her previous life, Hongyue was not chosen as her maid to marry, and soon Qingyun betrayed her and took refuge in Zhou Yunluo.
Zhou Zhengzheng has always been unable to understand that Hongyue is still the maid she personally selected from the miscellaneous courtyard to stay by her side, it stands to reason that she should be more loyal to her, but the miscellaneous courtyard is very bitter. But how can Hongyue say that betrayal is betrayal?
Zhou Zhengzheng remembered that Hongyue was not like Narcissus, Narcissus's brother was on an errand in the Guogong Mansion, and unlike Qingyun who was an orphan, Hongyue's parents sold her to the Guogong Mansion, and every year they also needed the monthly example of Hongyue to help her two unsuccessful brothers.
Could it be that Red Moon betrayed her for the sake of silver? But Zhou Zhengzheng has always been generous, and has never treated Hongyue badly, but Zhou Yunluo, everyone knows that Zhou Yunluo is the same as her mother, and she is a picker.
