Chapter 49: Accompanying the Tour
After that day, Shu Mei never saw the painting again, and Su Yaqing never went out of the courtyard again, which was normal. There is only one point, Zhu Zeyue didn't go to live in the study after he came back that day, originally Shu Mei wanted to find an excuse to let him stay away from him, but he didn't expect Zhu Zeyue to be self-conscious, although the two lived in the same courtyard, they basically didn't meet except for eating.
Probably because he was afraid of running into Zhu Ning, Zhu Zeyue rarely even went out of the yard, and what surprised Shu Mei even more was that he didn't go to see Su Yaqing once. Shu Mei guessed Zhu Zeyue's thoughts, he suspected that the painting was instructed by Su Yaqing to climb into bed, and he felt that his sincerity had been ruthlessly trampled on, and it was estimated that he would have to make trouble for a few days.
However, Zhu Junliu came once and apologized to Zhu Zeyue, because he brought the wine, so Zhu Zeyue was taught a lesson by Zhu Ning. If it was put aside, Zhu Zeyue would not be able to calculate it easily, but this time he did not get angry, and sent Zhu Junliu back with a brotherly and friendly look.
After that, Zhu Zeyue was bored in the room and read, it was unprecedentedly serious, this look moved Gu Shi who came to see him almost to tears, her son finally grew up!
Gu told Shu Mei to take care of Zhu Zeyue's daily life and diet, so that he could study with peace of mind, after all, he was going to take the exam next month, even if he was not as good as Zhu Junliu, it would be good to be able to take the test and come back.
Shu Mei responded, but she was not available, because the Queen Mother suddenly ordered her to go to the palace in Gunzhou to escape the summer.
Gunzhou is not close to the capital, it is not far away, there is a two-day journey, but after all, it is out of the capital, and the queen mother did not say when she will come back, but Shu Mei does not know how to prepare.
Shu Mei didn't expect that the Queen Mother would suddenly issue an edict to let her accompany her, after all, they hadn't seen each other since that time in Miaofeng'an. Although the Queen Mother gave her a token to enter the palace at any time, it was just a whim, and it would be too unknown if Shu Mei went to get close to the Queen Mother.
After all, it is to enter the palace and then go with the Queen Mother's Feng Yuan, Shu Mei is not ready to bring too many people, and there are more people to take care of, and it is easier to have problems, anyway, with the Queen Mother, can you still say that there is a shortage of people around?
Lixia definitely wanted to take it, and Gu Yu also wanted to go, but Shu Mei left her behind and let her continue to take care of Zhu Zeyue. It was indeed too shabby to take a maid, so Shu Mei went to find Su.
Shu Mei arrived at Fushoutang, and before he entered the house, he met Lu Yan and Qing Tao coming out together, and the two of them saluted Shu Mei together.
The green goose said hello and went to do something, but Qingtao stopped and said a few words to Shu Mei. Now who in the Zhu family doesn't know that Shu Mei is going out with the Queen Mother, how many people can have this glory, Qingtao is a person with an active mind, and when he sees Shu Mei, he is naturally more enthusiastic than usual.
"I heard that the young grandmother wants to find a pot coral platform, and the slave maid has an uncle who is pouring flowers and trees outside."
"Yes, then you can help me inquire." Shu Mei did find someone to get a few pots and put them in the yard recently.
Green peaches should naturally fall.
Shu Mei then took herself to make snacks to see Su's, and when she saw that Su's food was almost complete, she opened her mouth to explain her intentions.
ββ¦β¦ There are a lot of people around me, but there are not many hearts, Gu Yu asked me to stay and take care of my husband, so I was cheeky and wanted to borrow someone from my grandmother. β
"You choose for yourself, and you can take whoever you are satisfied with the maids around me."
"I just think that grandmother, the person you trained is lovely, and you make it too difficult for me to choose."
Shu Mei would not be so naΓ―ve to think that Su Shi really let her choose at will, what she wanted to bring was naturally a green goose, but if she said it directly, she would definitely not be able to take it away.
Su Shi was satisfied with Shu Mei's answer, nodded, and looked at the few maids standing beside him, in addition to the green goose and green peach, Su also had six big maids, but those few were not favored by green peach and green goose. But now let Su choose one, she is also a little undecided.
Just now, Qingtao came in, Su Shi glanced at her, remembered that he had just heard the conversation between her and Shu Mei, and said, "Qingtao, you call the green goose in." β
Qing Tao was stunned for a moment, but in an instant, she returned to her usual appearance and went out to call the green goose in.
Shu Mei is only down-to-earth this time, in order to give Qingtao a chance to be courteous to herself, she really studied how to raise peonies. Because Shu Mei knew that according to Su's suspicious nature, nine times out of ten she would suspect that Shang Qingtao had two hearts, so that the person who went with her would be a green goose nine times out of ten.
Su Shi told Lu Yan a few words, asking her to pack up some things and prepare to follow Shu Mei. Lu Yan was a little surprised, and was stunned for a moment before thanking Su Shi and Shu Mei and going out.
"The green goose is what I watched grow up, doing things steadily and reliably, and it is the most powerful one around me, I almost let her marry with the princess at the beginning, but in the end she was not reluctant, she is familiar with the rules and everything, you take her, I am also relieved."
Shu Mei smiled when he heard this, "Thank you grandmother, don't worry, I have borrowed and repaid." β
Su Shi also laughed and patted his eyebrows: "You kid, you have learned to make fun of me, I won't give you what you want, and you will care about a maid." β
Shu Mei coquettishly faced Su Shi, "I know you love me." β
"It's good that you know," Su sighed helplessly, and said, "Although this is a matter of light on the face, but after all, you are going out with Niangniang, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, and be careful." β
"That's what you said."
In fact, Su Shi said these words to Shu Mei more than once after the will came down, but Shu Mei still had to listen to them and seriously agree.
Seeing that Shu Mei really didn't have any impatience, Su Shi was a little more satisfied with her in his heart, "I know that you are a sensible and smart person, there are some things here, I haven't said them before, you have to pay attention to them this time." β
"Grandmother, you speak."
"This time the crown princess is also in the ranks, although she is Aze's sister, but as soon as she enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, even if her parents are only commensurate with the monarch and the minister, when you see the princess, don't be courteous, do your duty."
Shu Mei nodded.
"We wish the family the glory now, relying more on the face of the princess in the palace, she has not been easy these years, although she can't go home often, but when you get married, her gift can be regarded as the only one, if you have the opportunity, you can say a few words for her in front of the queen mother."
"Don't worry, my husband's sister is my sister."
Su Shi was very satisfied with Shu Mei's answer, nodded, and changed the topic, "You are going out, and I don't know how many days you have to go, according to the practice of previous years, that is, ten days and a half months, I see that you don't have a few new sets of summer clothes, and I have specially asked Xiufang to hurry up and make a few new clothes for you." β
"Grandmother, you've been so nice to me." Shu Mei, who got a bargain, didn't mind praising Su Shi a few more words.
