The matter was resolved smoothly, the dust settled, Rui Xue's heart was also relaxed, so she hugged the old grandmother's arm and coquettishly, "Mama has eaten more salt than I have ever eaten rice, no one is more experienced than Mama, at this time, Mama said this, do you want to ignore me, Mama is going to be lazy." ”

Older people, the favorite is to be recognized, when the old mother heard this, she was so excited that she shed tears, "I care, I care, as long as the young lady does not dislike the old age, the young lady will always serve the young lady." ”

The master and servant snuggled together, looking at the two sleeping children, and their hearts were quiet and happy.

It's a pity that this good atmosphere didn't last a quarter of an hour, and it was broken by Caiyue who ran in with a shout.

The two children were so frightened that they frowned and were about to wake up, the old lady hurriedly stretched out her hand and patted them comfortingly, and saw that they were sleeping peacefully again, so she glared at Caiyue fiercely and scolded in a low voice, "Why are you so unruly, what are you shouting, startling the little master, the little miss, see that I don't hit your board!" ”

Caiyue also knew that she was reckless just now, so she stood by the door timidly and apologized in a low voice, "Mama I know it's wrong, I won't dare next time." ”

Rui Xue couldn't see her pitiful appearance, so she smiled, "Running in in such a hurry, but what's wrong?" ”

Caiyun remembered what he had just heard, and immediately his eyes lit up, and he said, "Madam, someone from the old store of the Wu family in the city has come, and it is said that Mr. has brought things back!" ”

"Really?" Rui Xue jumped off the kang in surprise, and the old lady hurriedly got her shoes and complained, "Just out of confinement, this body has not been well raised, and I can't catch a cold, no matter how anxious I am, I have to dress properly and call people in." ”

Rui Xue put on her shoes, hurriedly pulled two handfuls of clothes and went to the hall, Caiyue trotted to the second gate, and led Yun Xiaojiu and a small guy in, the little guy stepped forward to salute Rui Xue, and said, "Mrs. Zhao, I went back to Tongcheng a few days ago to transport wine koji, and I was entrusted by Mr. Zhao to bring back a small box for Mrs. Zhao." After speaking, he pointed to the small one-foot-square box in Yun Xiaojiu's hand.

Yun Xiaojiu immediately stepped forward and put the box on the table next to Rui Xue. Zhao Fengnian left for nearly a month, Rui Xue was very worried, I can't wait to talk to the two children dozens of times every day, and often meet in dreams at night, at this time finally there is news coming, where can I still take care of the embarrassment, and said, "I've worked hard all the way to the little brother, I don't know where the little brother and my husband meet?" Does my husband look fat or thin? How faced..."

The old lady listened to her own lady on the side and asked more, and immediately coughed twice, Rui Xue spoke, and saw that the little guy's face was red, even a few of her own people also bowed their heads and snickered, and they were very helpless, in this conservative time and space, the wife asked a few words about her husband's recent situation, and in the eyes of others, it was Meng Lang.

Despite her helplessness, she was still unwilling to give up this hard-won opportunity, and instead changed her question, "Little brother went to Tongcheng, but do you see that the customs are different from ours?" If the little brother is not in a hurry to return to the city, he might as well leave a few words of gossip. Caiyun, give this little brother a seat and serve tea. ”

Caiyun hurried over, led the little guy to sit at the end, and then brought a cup of tea with his own hands. The little guy was a little flattered and bowed a few times before he sat down. He was already messing around in the winery every day, so he naturally had a very good eye, and he knew in his heart that this Mrs. Zhao family was afraid that she only wanted to know the news of Mr. Zhao, so she did what she liked, and only picked up things related to the Zhao family.

For example, where did he meet Mr. Zhao, what kind of clothes was Mr. Zhao wearing at that time, what jade pendant was worn, how good his face was, the climate of Tongcheng was much warmer than here, and it was much more lively and prosperous, etc., and he talked for half an hour, and he was relieved to hear Ruixue, and the maids were also relishing, and they came to the snack tea, and they were particularly attentive.

Seeing that the sun outside was about to set on the western mountain, there was a look of anxiety on the little guy's face, after all, the city gate did not wait for anyone, and if he delayed for a while, he would have to spend the night outside the city.

Rui Xue was careful, so she naturally saw it, and felt that there was nothing to ask, so she called Qin Xin into the house and took a piece of silver for two taels and gave it to the little girl, and said, "Little brother, you are tired of running today, this piece of silver is to thank you, take it to buy a bowl of tea and drink it on the road." ”

The little guy waved his hand and refused, "When I came back that day, Mr. Zhao had already rewarded the small ones, and Mrs. Zhao's reward money could no longer be collected." ”

Ruixue insisted that he accept it, and at the end he instructed Caiyun to wrap a few bean paste steamed buns and give them to him to pad his stomach on the way.

The little guy often goes to various houses for the shopkeeper to run errands on weekdays, but it is the first time to see such a kind master, I am grateful, I took the silver, saluted and said goodbye, and when I was in and out of the door, I suddenly turned around and said, "Mrs. Zhao, the scenery of Tongcheng is good, and there are many beautiful women, if you have leisure, it is good for Mrs. to go for a walk." ”

Rui Xue was stunned, then smiled and nodded, "Thank you little brother for your kind words, if I have time, I will definitely go and take a look." ”

The little guy saluted again, took a few steps back, and followed Yun Xiaojiu out, touching the silver in his arms along the way and sighing secretly, although he heard the news when he left Tongcheng, he couldn't tell if it was true or not, but it was groundless, it may not be without a reason, and it should remind this Mrs. Zhao more, so as to save a good person like her from being kept in the dark...

Rui Xue sat on the chair, pondering the last few words of this little guy, her heart was inexplicably a little sour, and when she was about to think about it, a few maids had already chirped and laughed, "I don't know what good things Mr. brought back to Mrs. and Little Master?" ”

The old lady stretched out her hand to drive them away, and said with a smile, "You dare to covet the master's things, hurry up and get busy, and let the young lady take her own time." ”

Only then did the maids remember that there might be some private things between the master and the wife, so they all blushed and dispersed, preparing dinner and washing the children's clothes, and they were busy without mentioning it.

Rui Xue and the old lady who hugged the box entered the inner room together, and looked at the box by the sunset outside the window to see that the box was actually made of sandalwood, one foot square in size, the lid of the box carved a hibiscus flower, the petals were stacked on top of each other, very elegant, the brass lock nose in front of it was cast into the shape of a tiger's head, and the tiger's mouth held a lock the size of a child's palm, and the key was directly inserted inside.

Rui Xue played with two times with great interest, and then pinched the key and pressed it gently, after a slight sound, the lock was opened, and the box was opened directly, only to see that it was full, and there were two letters on the top, one was very thick, one was extremely thin, needless to say, the thick one was written Rui Xue's name, and the thin one was for Mu San.

The old lady was afraid that she would be there, and her own lady would not be able to read the letter, so she directly took Mu San's letter and sent it to the front yard.

Rui Xue pinched the envelope, and her heart was beating wildly, but she looked like she had received a love letter for the first time back then, and secretly spat herself twice, so she tore up the letter and took a look.

The two lived for a year, Zhao Feng lived up to Rui Xue's "edification" at the end of the year, and there were a lot of sour words in the pen, which was easy to understand and close to read, but he didn't know whether he was afraid that this letter would be seen by others, or that he couldn't cross the shackles of rules and etiquette after all, and the title was not "snow" on his lips in private, and there were no words like missing in the whole text, which made Rui Xue a little disappointed and complained.

But after thinking about it, compared to the letters from other men to his wives, this is probably many times better, so he raised his eyebrows and picked up the objects in the box, a pair of red gold dragon and phoenix bracelets were for her, three extremely well-forged daggers were for the three boys, and a mutton fat jade ring was for Niuniu, and the bottom few small rattles, wood carved small fish, little monkeys and the like were for the two children.

Rui Xue took it out one by one, and then put it separately, and finally put the dragon and phoenix bracelet on her hand, looking left and right, she really loved it, not because of the texture of the red gold, but because Zhao Fengnian knew her preferences too well, and chose this bracelet to be simple and @ exquisite, the lines of the dragon scales and phoenix feathers are clear, but there are no other complicated lines, which is her favorite style.

The old lady came back from the front yard, and saw that the corners of Ruixue's mouth were raised high, rubbing the bracelet on her wrist, and she couldn't help but rejoice in her heart, for a woman, what is more important than marrying a good husband, her own lady is so happy now, she just swallowed her breath and went to Huangquan, and she also had an explanation for Hou Ye and Mrs.

"Miss, but Mr. said he was coming back?"

Rui Xue looked up and saw that it was the old mother, so she took off the bracelet on her hand and put it back in the box, and said with a smile, "No, there are still some things to deal with in Tongcheng, I'm afraid it will take a while, but he said that he must come back for the child for a hundred days, and he will come back in two months if he wants to come." ”

The old lady nodded, looked at the few gadgets for the two children, and praised, "Mr. is careful, this little object is polished very smooth, and there is no clear oil, and the child does not hinder it even if it eats in his mouth." ”

When the two children woke up, the old lady put the two gadgets in their little hands, and the two children immediately grabbed them, spitting small bubbles in their mouths, and their big eyes were dripping and rolling, as if they were studying what this thing was, and the appearance was extremely cute, which made their mothers feel very angry, and kissed each of them several times on the forehead.

At one point, Caiyun came in and said that dinner was ready, Rui Xue asked the banquet in the front yard to be delivered, so she ordered two more dishes to be added, and a table was also set up in the hall, and the big and small maids were all on the table and had a meal together.

Jian Wu also knew that there was a letter from the male master today, and the lady was happy, so she made fun of saying some good things, and there was constant laughter and laughter at the dinner table.

When the dinner table was removed, Rui Xue persuaded the old lady to go back to sleep for a night, so she left the sword dance to watch the night, and was busy changing the diapers of the two children, so she took them to sleep gradually.

At the beginning of the day, the carriage that went out to give up the steamed buns finally rushed back, Sanya and Erzhuang were sleeping soundly in the carriage when they were young, Wu Yu and Da Zhuang were still holding on, and when they arrived at the door of the house, they all ran back to the yard, and they couldn't wait to take off their clothes and lie down to sleep for a while.
