The days have entered the winter moon, and the cold here in Tongcheng has finally become heavier, and then the women who like to dress up have also worn small jackets, draped in brocade covering, or fur-trimmed cloaks, although it is inevitable to look heavy, but also has a unique charm.

In the Happy Garden, Rui Xue looked at the accounts, and whispered to the old lady carefully explaining how to arrange the teahouse and what to buy. ”

The old lady also sighed, "Miss, bear with me, just wait for Mr. to come back, there are the most rumors in this deep mansion compound, so you can avoid it." ”

Ruixue still had to speak, Caiyun Caiyue was already carrying a food box, opened the door and came in, her little mouth was pouting, and before she walked to the master, her eyes were red, and the old lady hurriedly said, "Xiao Cui'er just looked for you two to dry the quilt, I will serve here, you go down first." ”

Caiyun looked at the old grandmother's eyes, so she put the food box and pulled her sister to go out, not wanting Ruixue to look at it earlier, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you crying, who bullied you?" ”

Niuniu also threw down the pen and paper in her hand, leaned over, and asked, "Wasn't it okay when you went out just now?" ”

Caiyun was sensible, and wanted to cover it up, but Caiyue said like a jumping bean, "Madam, those mothers-in-law in the big kitchen are bullying, we went to get Mrs.'s lunch, they actually took some radish and cabbage out, we asked why the meal was so much worse than the previous day, they also scolded us, the soil buns are blooming and floating to the sky, Mrs. should eat this..."

Niuniu reached out to uncover the food box, took a look, and jumped up to find a stick and ran out, Jian Wu's eyes were fast, he grabbed her, and persuaded, "Second Miss, listen to Madame first." ”

Niuniu struggled twice and didn't break away, then she was pushed to her sister by Jian Wu, Rui Xue patted her shoulder, "Don't be impatient." ”

The old lady stretched out her hand to take out the dishes in the food box, and the more everyone looked at it, the darker their faces became, a plate of vegetarian fried cabbage, which was actually paste, a plate of radish and cherry blossom stew, with a layer of butter floating, and the two bowls of rice, could definitely pick out a handful of sand, it couldn't be worse.

"It's really embarrassing for them to find such a meal to deliver." Rui Xue's face is also not good, the small stove in the garden, only boil water on weekdays, simply make some food, three meals or the big kitchen in the house is ready to send it, Zhao Fengnian when he is at home, no one dares to slack off, he left, someone immediately moved, needless to say, she should also have some coping, otherwise she will be bullied, I am afraid that anyone will dare to step on it.

"Sword Dance, go and call the orchid." The sword dance should be down, and go out to call the orchid.

Orchid deserved it well, but it took half an hour to arrive, and as soon as she entered the door, she apologized repeatedly, saying that it was delayed in taking care of miscellaneous matters, and Rui Xue was not polite, and directly pointed to the food on the table and said, "Orchid is in charge, so busy, I'm afraid I haven't taken care of eating, it just so happens that these meals haven't been touched, you eat first." ”

Orchid glanced at the dishes on the table, and scolded in her heart, the stupid women in the stove clearly told them to move their hands and feet a little, how to do it so obviously, let alone eat this meal, it was disgusting to watch.

She hurriedly waved her hand and excused herself, "Mrs. Xie is generous, the slave and maid have already eaten." ”

"What kind of dish did the orchid girl eat? I'm so simple here, I'm afraid your food is even worse. ”

Rui Xue smiled, her tone was as kind as gossip and homely, and when she heard it, Orchid was even more weak-hearted, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she said, "Mrs. Xie is worried, yesterday the master said that the family expenses are too big, and you should try to be as frugal as possible. ”

Is this sure that he doesn't dare to ask the old man for verification? Rui Xue sneered, "Then don't forget to tell the kitchen that the master's food can't be frugal, otherwise gossip will spread, and outsiders will think that our Zhao family can't even eat." When your young master comes back, I will persuade him to go to the master to ask for guilt, but he didn't take care of the business well, and the family's income is less, so the master wants to live frugally. ”

The corner of Orchid's eyes jumped, pursed her lips, and changed her words for a while, "Although the master said that he wanted to be frugal, he must not want the young lady to eat badly, after all, the two little masters want the young lady to take care of it, and it must be those subordinates in the kitchen who will be wrong, and the slave will go and explain it to them." ”

"Then bother the orchid steward to take a trip, and bring this meal to the chef to eat, don't waste the food."

Orchid held back her anger, took the food box and retreated, and as soon as she got out of the hospital, she fell to the ground hard, her eyes squinted slightly and she thought for a long time, and finally picked up the food box and walked away.

Jian Wu gently closed the door of the courtyard and returned to the house, and the old lady asked, "Didn't the slave take the opportunity to speak ill of the young lady?" ”

Jian Wu shook his head, "Although I dropped the food box, I didn't go to the main courtyard to complain." ”

"Count her acquaintances." The old lady scolded, turned around and saw that Rui Xue was already asleep on the brocade mat, hurriedly took the thin quilt and covered it carefully, and picked up a few little maids to go to the yard to play with Niuniu, and then stayed aside to do needlework.

In Ruixue's sleep, she faintly heard the cries of the two children, she thought that the children were hungry, got up in a daze, lifted the placket and was about to breastfeed, but she didn't want the old mother to run over, and said, "Miss, the two little masters seem to have bad stomachs, not hungry." ”

"Bad belly?" Rui Xue hurriedly opened the diapers of the two children and took a closer look, and sure enough, the diapers were stained with some watery things, she couldn't help but be shocked and anxious, "How is this good?" ”

The old lady hurriedly comforted and said, "Jian Wu went to the Ping'an Inn to invite Amber, and he will be there soon, don't worry, Miss." ”

If the child is sick, how can the mother not be in a hurry? Rui Xue hugged her son and coaxed, and changed her daughter's kiss, but unfortunately the two children just closed their eyes, clenched their little fists, and cried so loudly that they completely ignored their mother's distress and anxiety.

Rui Xue was at a loss, and finally shed tears with her, and when Amber finally arrived, she saw that the mother and son were all tearful, and thought that something was wrong, but after taking the pulse, she breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, the child is just suffering from a cold stomach, and it is good to put a plaster on the navel to pull out the cold." ”

The old lady looked at him with a relaxed look, and couldn't help but say angrily, "Then hurry up and boil the plaster, the little master is still uncomfortable." I was at home all day, and I ran out to play chess when the little master was uncomfortable..."

"Hey, okay, I'll go." Where could Amber stop the old lady's chatter, he was also distressed, and ran out in a puff of smoke.

Soon, the ointment of the sauce purple was applied to the muslin cloth, and it was attached to the belly of the two children, which was also magical, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the two children stopped crying, and there were tears on their eyelashes, and they were already twisting their little heads to look for their mothers.

Ruixue took them in her arms one by one and fed them, and when she saw that they were slowly sleeping peacefully, her high heart finally fell.

Niuniu was curious, so she approached the two little nephews, sniffed left and right, and finally said, "Sister, put this plaster on me." ”

Rui Xue patted her sister's head and said with a smile, "Silly girl, your stomach doesn't hurt, what are you doing with plasters?" ”

"Who said my stomach doesn't hurt," Niuniu rubbed her lower abdomen with her hands and pouted, "My stomach is bleeding." ”

Stomach ache? Bleeding? Could it be...

Rui Xue and the old lady glanced at each other, and they all came to Niuniu's side, and asked, "When did it bleed?" ”

The one asked, "What's the stomach hurt?" ”

Niuniu blinked her eyes wide, and said with some doubts, "When I woke up in the morning, my stomach hurt and I bled when I touched it." ”

Rui Xue really couldn't cry or laugh, but this time she didn't leave her hand, slapped her on the shoulder heavily, and said angrily, "This foolish girl!" Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

The old lady hurriedly said, "Miss, I'll take the second lady down to pick it up." ”

Niuniu was a little ignorant and was pulled down by the old lady, leaving the big and small maids in the room blushing and laughing, Rui Xue rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Caiyun Caiyue, go boil some brown sugar ginger water and send it to the second lady, tell her to lie on the bed first, and I will go to see her in a while." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Caiyun Caiyue retreated, Jian Wu and Qin Xin helped change the diapers of the two children, and were about to take them to be cleaned, when they heard a strange female voice say outside the door, "Young lady, my lord, please go to the main courtyard." ”

Rui Xue and Jian Wu Qin Xin were stunned, Jian Wu hurriedly went out to deal with a few words, and when he came back, he said, "It's Cailuan who is serving in the main courtyard, I stuffed a piece of silver, and she said, the old man's face is not good, and he wants Mrs. to have a bottom in her heart." ”

Ruixue frowned, got out of bed and picked up her dress, combed her sideburns again, and took Xiao Cui'er to the main courtyard.

Sure enough, Old Man Zhao's face was so black that he sat on the main seat like the bottom of a pot, and when he saw Rui Xue saluting, he didn't arouse it as before, but only faintly said "Hmm", Rui Xue got up, walked to the left hand side and stood up, and asked gently, "Father, do you have something to call your daughter-in-law?" ”

Old Man Zhao put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at her, and said, "I heard that the two children are a little uncomfortable?" ”

"Yes, father. Xu is cold at night, some bad stomach, just put a plaster on it, and has fallen asleep. ”

When Master Zhao heard this, he immediately slapped it on the table and scolded, "Hmph, as a mother, you don't serve your two children well, and you know how to pick food and clothing all day long, how can you look like a mother?" No matter how good a child is, he will not be able to succeed if he is taught by you. I have already asked two nurses to send the two children to the main hospital tomorrow to raise. ”

Rui Xue raised her head suddenly, her eyes were full of disbelief and resentment, if this old man reprimanded from time to time on weekdays, or picked some small faults, she saw that he was an elder, and it was the child's grandfather who endured it, but today's move to invite a nurse is obviously to snatch the child.

Could it be that it is impossible to separate her from the child under the pretense of an idea, and then slowly kick her out again?

"Father, please forgive my daughter-in-law for not being able to deal with this matter." Rui Xue's face was also cold, and she didn't hesitate at all, and refused at all.
