Chapter 48: Scheduling Days (2)
When Mama Li heard this, she immediately smiled slightly and squinted her eyes.
She has been on an errand in the Zhu family for many years, so naturally she doesn't care about this idea, what she cares about is Shen Yuechen's attitude towards her.
After all, she is not an ordinary subordinate, and she is also a decent person in front of the old man and wife. As a bride, Shen Yuechen treated her so politely and respectfully, which couldn't help but make her feel more satisfied, and her back straightened.
Shen Yuechen knew the weight of Mama Li in the Zhu family, and she was the "eyeliner" that the old lady and the Li family had placed beside her in disguise, so she naturally couldn't deal with it sloppily.
Shen Yuechen doesn't want to be the kind of master who likes to be powerful everywhere, and she can't do it......
Mama Li took the reward money, went out of the house very satisfied, and went to the side courtyard to spread a message to several aunts.
Shen Yuechen was physically and mentally tired, sat at the table with his head bowed, and didn't speak for a while.
Mingyue couldn't figure out her preferences, so she just stood quietly to the side.
Suddenly, the curtain outside the door moved slightly, and Chun'e came in and said, "Grandma Da Shao, Aunt Cao is here." ”
Shen Yuechen couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this, only to feel that their movements were really fast, then she looked up at Mingyue and ordered softly: "Go and make me a cup of strong tea, the stronger the better." ”
Mingyue was slightly stunned, and retreated in a loud voice, but she bumped into Aunt Cao who was coming on, and was busy with her body.
Cao had just heard the news from Mama Li, and the arrangement of the days was still the same as before, which undoubtedly made her feel very happy, counting the days, it would be her turn in two days.
Since Qin Taoxi became ill, Zhu Jintang has not been to any of his aunt's houses again, either going out or resting in the study, almost completely not close to women, this situation has continued until Qin Taoxi enters the door.
Qin Taoxi is young and beautiful, and her family background is prominent, Cao knows that she can't compare with her at all, but fortunately, she also has a daughter, although she is a concubine, she is also a unique talisman by her side.
In order to consolidate the low temperature, the Cao family had no choice but to hug his daughter Zhu Ying, in order to let Shen Yuechen take a look and feel pity.
Recalling that when he officially greeted him for the first time, Shen Yue Yuechen seemed peaceful, but he did not lose his momentum, and Cao's heart couldn't help but be a little nervous.
Mingyue opened the curtain for the two of them, Zhu Ying took Cao's hand, and walked in all the way, her black and shiny hair was tied into two pigtails, and her big round eyes turned around smartly, looking at everything around her with curiosity.
As soon as the Cao family entered the door, he let go of the hand holding his daughter, curtsy and said, "The concubine Cao Shi greets the eldest young grandmother." After speaking, she pulled Zhu Ying beside her again and reminded softly: "Say hello to your mother." ”
Zhu Ying nodded as if she didn't understand what she said, remembering what her aunt had told her several times before, she immediately followed the example, knelt on her knees, bent down, kowtowed in a proper manner, and said in a milky voice: "The child asks his mother for peace, and wishes his mother a long and healthy life." ”
Shen Yuechen hurriedly raised his hand, looking a little tired, but he still smiled and said, "Let's all get up and talk." ”
Cao Shi responded while picking up Zhu Ying from the ground and standing up.
Shen Yuechen immediately instructed Mingxin to show the two of them a seat, looked at Zhu Ying with a smile and said, "What a good boy, come here, let me take a good look." ”
When Cao Shi heard this, he immediately gently pushed Zhu Ying and said gently: "Go, go to my mother." ”
Zhu Ying looked up at Shen Yuechen's unfamiliar face, hesitated slightly, but still obediently, walked over, lowered her head and called "Mother".
Shen Yuechen also smiled when she heard this, but her smile was a little reluctant.
There is no merit, this "mother" really makes her feel ashamed. Suddenly, there is an extra daughter who is close to him, and no one will not like it.
Shen Yuechen originally liked children, she took Zhu Ying's soft and warm little hand, touched her head, and said gently: "What a good child." ”
Zhu Ying didn't recognize life either, and stood in front of Shen Yuechen generously, pursed her lips, and smiled.
Shen Yuechen carefully looked at her eyebrows and eyes, and felt that she did have a little connection with Zhu Jintang.
This is the first time we have met, and she, as a mother, should always have something to say.
Shen Yuechen thought about it, and then immediately instructed Chun Ming: "Go and bring the pendant of the white jade Maitreya Buddha statue." ”
Chun Ming agreed and went and brought a small brocade box.
Shen Yuechen opened the box, picked up the Maitreya Buddha statue tied with a red rope inside, and gently put it on her neck while saying with a smile: "Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha." This Buddha statue has been opened in the temple, and you can wear it to pray for blessings and avoid disasters. ”
Rather than bounty and silver, it is better to reward a heart, not to mention, they are the ladies of the house, and they like these blessing gadgets the most.
Sure enough, when the Cao family saw that their daughter had been rewarded by Shen Yuechen, they were overjoyed, and they felt that they had really come to the right place this time, and they would have to move around more in the future.
Zhu Ying is three years old this year, and it is the most likable time, but the uncle is usually too busy and doesn't like to be close to children, so she has to put more effort into Shen Yuechen's body.
The children in the mansion are sensible early, and they will observe words and emotions since they were young, and if the adults mention it a little, they will know who they should please.
Although Zhu Ying didn't recognize his life, he kept secretly holding his eyes at Shen Yuechen.
After giving a reward and asking questions, Cao took Zhu Ying back with satisfaction.
She went out with her front foot, and Sun Wenpei followed in with her back foot, saying that she was coming to greet Shen Yuechen.
It is said that as a concubine, it is a rule and etiquette to come to the main room every morning and evening to greet him.
Shen Yuechen had already prepared, only drank the strong tea in his hand, looked at Sun Wenpei who saluted him in front of him, and pretended to smile.
Because the days were arranged, the aunts came over to say goodbye, but Qin Taoxi said that she was unwell and did not come.
She was the last concubine to enter the door, so the days naturally ranked last among everyone, and it was not surprising that she was a little unhappy.
Shen Yuechen wished he could see her a few times, so as not to waste his saliva and spend his strength in vain.
Qin Taoxi's arrogance is not that she is overwhelmed, right now, she still can't do anything to her.
After the aunts dispersed, Shen Yuechen finally got a moment of purity.
At this time, Zhu Jintang was still working in the study, so Shen Yuechen asked Mingyue Mingxin to send chicken soup over, and then called all his personal subordinates over.
"Chunming, have you put away the medicine box?"
Chun Ming replied and whispered: "The slave maid put it in Wu's mother's room, it is very secret, and others will definitely not find it." ”
Mother Wu also chimed in: "Yes, the old body is responsible for cooking every morning, just right, you can send the medicine to the young lady." ”
Shen Yuechen groaned slightly: "This pill is convenient, and it saves the trouble of decocting the medicine." ”
Now, although Wu's mother is in charge of the kitchen, the former cooks of the Zhu family are still there, and if they see themselves boiling medicine, or smell the smell of medicine, they will inevitably have twists and turns.
Chun Ming handed over the pills to Wu's mother for safekeeping, which was undoubtedly the place that made her feel at ease the most.
In the Shen family before, she clearly noticed that Mama Li had called her away under the pretext of something, probably asking something. However, after Chunming came back, she took the initiative to report to her, saying that what Mama Li asked her, she shook her head and said that she didn't know, and she didn't talk much behind her back.
Shen Yuechen didn't doubt it when she heard it, she didn't believe in Chun Ming's loyalty to herself, what she believed was that Chun Ming was a smart person and knew how to judge the situation.
After explaining everything that should be said, Shen Yuechen lay down directly on the couch by the window, closed his eyes and rested for a while.
Zhu Jintang didn't return for a moment, and she couldn't rest for a moment, so she had to lie here with her clothes on her clothes to relieve her fatigue.
Seeing this, Chun Ming hurriedly retreated lightly, she hadn't eaten dinner yet, and her stomach was grunting with hunger.
Cui Xin, who had eaten first, stayed in the house, took out a thin quilt from the carved wooden cabinet, carefully covered Shen Yuechen's shoulder, and then moved an embroidery pier, sat at her feet, and waited.
Shen Yuechen lay quietly alone, gradually became sleepy, and soon fell asleep.
The cup of strong tea that Fang drank just now obviously didn't play a role in the slightest.
When she woke up again, she was gently pushed awake by Chunming.
Shen Yuechen was in a trance for a moment, and then sat up, only to hear Chun Ming whisper: "The eldest young master is washing up in the clean room." ”
Shen Yuechen rubbed her eyes and subconsciously asked, "What time is it?" ”
Chun Ming replied: "It's three o'clock. ”
Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that she had slept for so long, and Zhu Jintang came back so late.
Shen Yuechen sat up with his clothes neat, and after waiting for a while, he saw Zhu Jintang walking out in a middle coat, refreshed, and his hair was still dripping with water beads.
Shen Yuechen hurriedly picked up the towel and greeted him, and before he could speak, he heard Zhu Jintang say in a low voice: "Sleep." ”
He took the towel in her hand, wiped his head, and couldn't wait to dry it, so he went straight to bed and lay down, leaving only Shen Yuechen's back.
Seeing this, Shen Yuechen didn't care about saying anything, only gave Chun Ming a look.
Chun Ming turned off the lights, exited the room, and closed the door lightly.
After Shen Yuechen's wide clothes, he gently put down the gauze tent, lay down quietly, and after a little hesitation, he turned over, faced Zhu Jintang's generous back, and stopped talking: "Uncle, are you asleep?" ”
She wanted to talk to him, but he fell asleep, as if he had suddenly become angry.
Zhu Jintang turned his back to her and said in a light tone: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, his body leaned towards him slightly, and said softly: "Concubine, I have arranged the days for a few aunts today, or according to the old rules, I don't know what the uncle wants?" ”
If it is counted by days, Zhu Jintang should rest at Cao's place tomorrow night, and she can also relieve it a little.
Zhu Jintang never wanted to bother with the affairs of the inner house's daughters, and replied noncommittally: "Just do it." ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and turned over with a smile, "Yes, the concubine knows." ”
Zhu Jintang was originally too tired to fall asleep with his pillow on his head, but for some reason, he kept thinking about what Shen Yuechen had just said, and suddenly had some energy in his mind.
He is a person who has been married, and he can be considered experienced in this area. Think about it, when the Qin family first entered the door, it was not arranged in such a hasty way in terms of the schedule...... Even for this reason, some people ran to him crying and making trouble.
He was silent for a while, but finally turned over and looked at the people around him.
Who knows, as soon as he turned around, he saw Shen Yuechen's sleeping Zhengxiang's little face.
She closed her eyes quietly, her tender red lips opened slightly, and she breathed evenly, and her well-behaved and peaceful appearance made people's hearts move.
Zhu Jintang propped up his upper body, tilted his head, carefully looked at her sleeping face, and couldn't help but sigh softly, with a slightly puzzled expression on his face, and secretly said in his heart: "Obviously I'm still a child, but I always have to act like an adult...... Even, sometimes, it is sensibly overdone. ”
