Sun has just returned home, and she is already busy with everything in the inner courtyard, so is it difficult for the old Duchess to pull her to chat? Naturally, it was for Zhou Yunluo's business.

A round egg yolk gradually moved to the western sky, overflowing with a brocade-like purple red, and the glazed tiles of the Duke of Wu's mansion were shining brightly.

Zhou Zheng walked out of the boudoir, a red light was projected on her face from the window lattice covered with green yarn, she was as beautiful as a porcelain doll.

I saw the cuckoo in Lin Yu's room slowly coming over and saying that Mrs. Jun invited Zhou Zhengzheng to come over for dinner together.

Zhou Zheng didn't send anyone to pick up the food box, changed into civilian clothes, Qingyun and Narcissus carried the cloud pattern lantern, bypassed a few flower paths, and arrived at Lin Yu's Shufang Courtyard.

The afterglow of the setting sun was faintly cast on the undispersed mist in the garden, and the Shufang courtyard was bright red against the afterglow of the setting sun, and the slaves and maids worked in an orderly manner, and saw Zhou Zhengzheng stop and say hello before walking over.

The slaves and maids in Lin Yu's courtyard are all very well-behaved, they usually don't talk much, but they work hard, and there is a little arrogance in their expressions, which are all imitations of Lin Yu's master.

The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Yu ordered the slave maid to put on the lamp.

The mother and daughter sat at a willow round table in front of the window, the rhombic window was half open, and half of the bamboo mat was hung, and the evening breeze gently blew in, and the light was faint, so pleasant.

Lin Yu grew up beside the Queen Mother, and was used to eating the food in the palace, after marrying his father, his father specially invited all the famous chefs in the capital to his home for his mother's food. So there are often small stoves in the courtyard, and the meals made by the famous chefs in the capital are even better than those made by the original chefs of the Wu Guogong Mansion.

Zhou Zheng asked about Zhou Yuheng's homework while eating, Lin Yu smiled and said: "Your younger brother has been studying hard at Xixi's house, and I just went to see it yesterday, and my schoolwork has improved a lot, but you, when you come back, you always think about us, but you don't know that people's hearts are unpredictable, do you know what your grandmother said to your second aunt?" ”

Zhou Zheng grabbed a piece of pork belly and bit it, and asked casually what to say.

Lin Yu drank a cup of milk custard and said: "Yunluo's gift to your grandmother, your grandmother didn't like it very much, so she passed it on to your second aunt, asking her to discipline Yunluo well, saying that she has grown up a lot at a young age, and the most important thing in the big family is harmony, but in front of the subordinates, it fell into the face of your second aunt." ”

Zhou Zhengzheng's eyes were calm, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Grandmother thinks she likes Yunluo, and she hates iron but not steel." ”

Lin Yu looked at Zhou Zhengzheng and said, "After your second aunt goes back, she will have to count Yunluo." At that time, my mother was also on your second aunt's side, so I also listened to it. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, even so, Lin Yu must have guessed that Yun Luo was scolded, and Zhou Zheng had the credit, "Mother, didn't the second aunt punish Sister Yun Luo?" ”

Lin Yu said: "This is their second room, my mother doesn't like to care, Ah Zheng, you don't want to provoke them in the future." ”

Lin Yu said a lot of things in front of him, in order to worry that Zhou Zheng would provoke Zhou Yunluo, it seems that although Lin Yu has few words, he is still an understanding person.

Although he didn't have much contact with the second room, Lin Yu saw it clearly. She was afraid that Zhou Zhengzheng was not as scheming as Zhou Yunluo, and she would suffer.

Zhou Zhengzheng smiled: "Mother, my daughter knows." If my daughter doesn't go to Yunluo to play, it's fine. ”

Only then did Lin Yu put his mind at ease and put vegetables in Zhou Zheng's bowl.

There was no peace over there, Zhou Yunluo fell into Sun's arms and cried endlessly, and Sun scolded Zhou Zhengzheng for being impure and feeling sorry for his daughter.

Zhou Ziye, who was seven years old next to him, gritted his teeth, his eyes showed a sophistication that was not commensurate with his age, and said coldly: "Sister has sincerely copied a Buddhist scripture to grandmother these days, and grandmother will definitely like my sister again, why cry." ”

Zhou Yunluo stopped crying, patted her head and said, "Yes, grandmother loves Buddhist scriptures the most, why didn't I think of it." ”

Sun touched Zhou Ziye's head and said with a smile: "Good son, you are still the smartest." ”

Zhou Ziye said: "My mother can also take the opportunity to ask me to follow Zhou Yuheng to Xixi to study. I am only one year older than Yu Heng, but Yu Heng is one step ahead of me and enlightened, and I can't say it. ”

Sun nodded, "Your grandmother likes the unity between our concubines the most, if Lin Yu refuses, it seems that she will be deliberately estranged from our second room, and her grandmother will also favor us." ”

Zhou Ziye said: "As long as I can study with Zhou Yuheng, my sister will be angry here, and I will come back for my sister in Zhou Yuheng." ”

Zhou Yunluo burst into tears and laughed.

In the past few days, Zhou Yunluo'an has divided a lot, almost staying at home, Zhou Zhengzheng doesn't care about her, and goes to Lin Yu's side to make Zhou Xiaoxiao laugh.

A few handymen carried a few baskets of bayberry in the outer courtyard, and after Mama Yun finished counting, she asked the slaves and maids to carry them to Lin Yu.

Zhou Zhengzheng saw these black and red pearls, big bayberry, and liked it very much, it seems that this year's field production is very good.

Lin Yu said: "Two baskets were carried to the second and third rooms, five baskets were carried to the old duchess, and the remaining ten baskets and three baskets were distributed to the slaves and maids and miscellaneous servants who were in the merit book last month, leaving three baskets to eat by themselves, and four baskets to make bayberry wine." ”

Mama Yun did it one by one.

Although Lin Yu is a housekeeper, these fields and properties are also produced by the Guogong Mansion, and it was originally not the turn of the second and third rooms, but Lin Yu did not show favoritism at all.

Zhou Zhengzheng pulled the corner of Lin Yu's clothes and said: "Mother, these bayberry grows so well, I'm afraid that in half a month, there will be more production." It's just that the light is distributed to the family, and the palace also has to send a little. Moreover, the second uncle and the third uncle must have few people, but I am afraid that they will not be able to eat so much. The ones we left to make bayberry wine will naturally be distributed to them in the future. ”

Lin Yu thought about it, instead of being a good person for the second and third rooms, it is better to sell this favor to the palace, after all, the Queen Mother is Lin Yu's biggest support. agreed, "Although our Guogong Mansion is not short of money, but it is naturally frugal to support a family with the help of the Guogong Father." ”

Naturally, it could not be derogated from to the old Duchess of the country, and as a result, the two rooms and three rooms were reduced to one basket, and two baskets were carried and placed in the storage room, intending to receive a sign tomorrow and enter the palace to give to the Queen Mother.

Mama Yun did so one by one, and looked at Zhou Zheng out of the corner of her eye when she left.

There was nothing to do for a while, Lin Yu was busy, Zhou Zhengzheng looked at the account book casually, but heard a report that the old Duchess wanted Lin Yu to see him.

Zhou Zhengzheng asked: "Who is the person next to the old Duchess at this time?" ”

The subordinate replied: "Except for the second master, the second room is here." ”

Between Zhou Zheng's eyebrows, a trace of vigilance rose, and he pulled Lin Yu and said that she would also follow.

Lin Yu said: "I promise you, little pestering spirit, but you have to be obedient, don't quarrel with your grandmother." ”

The Jiaohua courtyard is green and green, and the spring is good.

A few slaves and maids were feeding the birds.
