Yun Ci set off to King Mu's Mansion on the same day, leaving with Bamboo Shadow, Light Rhyme, and Light Heart, as well as many Yunfu guards. On that day, Chuxiu lived in Mrs. Tai's Rongjin Hall, and Chi's mother placed her in a separate room according to her treatment in Zhiyanxuan.

"Since the Hou Ye sent it to ask Mrs. Tai to train her, and Mrs. Tai handed over the girl to me, then we won't be polite, what do you say." Chi's mother smiled and said to Chuxiu: "Mrs. Tai's rules here are not better than that of Master Hou, her old man gets up early, you have to get up at the end of every day, and serve Mrs. Tai for breakfast at the beginning of the day." ”

Out of the head of the jaw means to write down.

"Mrs. Tai has breakfast every day and goes to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures for an hour. In order to show sincerity, the scriptures are copied by our own house, and you are also serving the pen and ink in front of the Hou Ye, so you will share the errand of copying the scriptures every day. Chi's mother said again.

Izuku received the order again.

Mother Chi nodded with satisfaction: "Mrs. Tai is not short of manpower here, only a few caring people who know cold and hot." You do your breakfast and scripture writing first, and then listen to her old man for the rest. ”

After thinking about it again, he added: "Oh yes, every morning, the second aunt and the third aunt have to come to accompany Mrs. Tai for breakfast, and the fourth aunt doesn't come when she comes, you have to make a note of it." ”

The two aunts and wives still want to come to accompany them for breakfast? Then why didn't the fourth aunt come too? Chuxiu was a little surprised in her heart, but she didn't dare to reveal it on her face, and sent Chi's mother out all the way.

Early the next morning, Chuxiu got up very early and went to the dining room according to the instructions of his mother in the morning. She thought that she had come half an hour in advance, but she never thought that there were already two maids in the hall setting the dishes and chopsticks.

When the maids saw Xiu suddenly appear, they were not surprised or spoken, but only smiled slightly, which was probably explained by Chi's mother in advance.

Xiu smiled in return, and also set up the dishes and chopsticks, and served the hors d'oeuvres one by one.

Mrs. Tai's rules, the daily breakfast is eight cold and ten hot, with a number of hors d'oeuvres, rice and noodles, two sweet, two salty and four soups, which is not a luxury. At least compared to the status and family background of the Yun Mansion, breakfast of this specification is also common in the family of the princess, not to mention that there are aunts and wives to accompany the meal.

Chu Xiu and a few maids were busy for a long time, served hors d'oeuvres and eight cold dishes, and stood aside to wait. After a while, a faint laughter came, with the unique calmness and self-cultivation of women, I saw Mrs. Tai helped into the dining room by Chi's mother, followed by two women in their thirties.

Mrs. Tai was dressed in a golden-brown brocade shirt today, very energetic, with a hint of a smile on her face, and seemed to be in a good mood.

The two women who followed side by side behind her were both dressed as women, one wearing a dark red shirt and the other wearing a blue shirt, each with its own charm:

The woman in the dark red shirt is a little more mature, with willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, a straight and sharp nose bridge, looking a little fierce, and the jewels around her body are very eye-catching;

The woman in the blue shirt is younger and simpler, her complexion is extremely white, and her facial features are not as good-looking as the woman in the dark red shirt, let alone Mrs. Tai, but her temperament is quiet and graceful, which makes people forget the vulgar and have a unique style.

These two should be the concubines of the old marquis, the second aunt and the third aunt of Yunfu. Izumi saw that the two of them each brought a maid, and as Mrs. Tai entered the dining room, there was a little residual smile on her face, which should have been caused by laughing on the way here.

The two aunts and wives did not squint, and sat on the left and right of Mrs. Tai. Izumi observed where the two were sitting, and thought in his heart who was in the second room and who was in the third room.

The woman in the dark red shirt sat on the left hand of Mrs. Tai, who should be the second aunt Taihua who had entered the door, and her surname was also consistent with her dress; The woman in the blue shirt sat on the right hand of Mrs. Tai, and it should be the third aunt Taiwen who entered the door later. Sure enough, as Chi's mother said, only the two aunts came to accompany Mrs. Tai for breakfast, and the fourth aunt never came.

It was only a few turns of thought, but when I heard Mrs. Tai, she had already opened her mouth and ordered: "Out of Xiu, order the food." ”

As soon as these words came out, when he came out, he noticed that two eyes were on him, from the Hua family and the Wen family.

It seems that his name has reached the ears of his two aunts. Izuku didn't dare to look and think too much, so he hurriedly lowered his head and walked quickly to the small kitchen, and after a while, he led a few little maids to serve food.

The two eyes when he left had already been retracted, and the Hua and Wen families had looked as usual, and they accompanied Mrs. Tai to start eating. The maids on the side serve on the side, serving vegetables and soup from time to time, which is very well-behaved.

The meal went on so silently, and at the end of the meal, Mrs. Tai spoke again and said lightly to Hua's: "What about the second child?" Taught him to come to me for breakfast. ”

When Hua Shi heard this, he was a little embarrassed on his face, and said with a smile: "Now that the second master has divided the garden and lives alone, I don't know where the others are, so I will send someone to take a look at it in a while." ”

Mrs. Tai said "um", as if unintentionally: "Now that there is a plague in Fangzhou, although it has not reached Yanlan City, our Yun clan can't ignore it. Yesterday, the Hou Ye had already set off to discuss countermeasures in King Mu's mansion, and the third child also instructed the rice industry to distribute rice from all over the country, but the second child was still idle, so he should be sent to sharpen and sharpen. ”

In front of the "outsiders", Mrs. Tai insisted on calling Yun Ci "Hou Ye", obviously she was a mother and son, but this remark and etiquette made Xiu feel a little emotional in her ears.

At this time, Dan saw that the Hua clan replied to Mrs. Tai in a curtled manner: "You are right, the second master should indeed share some affairs for the Hou Ye." After saying that, he glanced at Xiu as if he didn't have any.

Hua's glance was fast, but he still taught Xiu himself to catch it. Out of Xiu thought that this glance was like Mrs. Fang Caitai's words, which was quite meaningful.

Imagine that Mrs. Tai has been in charge of the Yun family for many years, she is highly respected, and she has a lot of money, how could she let the second aunt Taihua not come to the stage at the dinner table in front of a few maids? Mrs. Tai clearly had something to say, and reprimanded some of the actions of the second master Yunqi.

If Mrs. Tai spoke, Izumi still hadn't figured out what her old man meant. Then the glimpse of the Hua clan had made Xiu suddenly realize.

It must be Yunqi's teasing of himself, or Yunqi's begging Yun for his own business, which was known to Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai is expressing her position to Yun Ci through herself, and she is also telling Hua and the second master on the side that she is Yun Ci's person.

Thinking of this, Izuku felt a little inexplicable in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was flattered or panicked. She wanted to survive in this mansion in a low-key manner, but she was forced to push it in front of everyone, and even had a feeling that she was about to be on the cusp. This feeling reminded Dexiu of some days in the drunken flower building in the past.

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.

But Izuku believes that this feeling is only temporary, because Yun Ci is not in the mansion, and he has sent himself to the unfathomable Mrs. Tai, which will make him feel at ease. She had the patience to wait for Yun Ci to come back, and she also believed that he could protect herself.

In any case, life in Yunfu is better than being in Drunken Flower Building, and it is better than being bullied by Shen Yu's favorite concubine in Chasing Hongyuan. Here, all she had to do was trust that person, and that was enough.

*****

A breakfast was spent in the hearts of several wives. Izuku was tidying up in the dining room and was about to go to the Buddhist hall, but he saw the second aunt's wife, Hua Shi, pacing in front of the dining room with a maid.

Before Izumi could react, Hua Shi had already seen her with sharp eyes, and said with a smile: "Take a walk here after breakfast, I don't want Miss Izuku to leave yet." ”

Where is this walking, it is clearly deliberately waiting for someone. Izuku had no choice but to go down the steps and salute the Hua family.

Hua Shi watched her salute and get up, and then smiled again: "Lord Hou treats you well, everyone has gone to King Mu's Mansion, and I don't forget to send you to Rongjin Hall......" When she said this, she suddenly changed the topic and sneered: "No matter how favored you are, you are just a slave, no matter how beautiful you are, you can't be Mrs. Hou, you have to weigh your own weight." ”

Izumi pursed her lips and was silent, her expression forbearing.

"Forget you're dumb and can't speak." Hua Shi smiled and sighed preachily: "The old man is not old and the old man is the first to decide, the words of the ancestors have some truth, you should also listen to it." ”

After saying that, he had already put away his smile, snorted lightly and brushed his sleeves away, just took two steps, stopped again, turned around and said cryptically: "Flowers are the same, people are similar, and the girl should not be happy and sad." Then he walked away quickly.

Flowers are the same, people are similar...... Izuku thought about this sentence silently in the bottom of her heart, and only felt that Hua's words meant something. There are also those four words "happiness and sorrow", which seem to be ......

"Out of the Xiu girl!" Chi's mother's voice interrupted Xiu's doubts in time, she stood not far away, and said as she walked: "The time for Mrs. Tai to chant the scriptures is coming, you still don't know where the Buddhist hall is, I will lead you over." ”

Izumi nodded yes and followed Chi's mother wordlessly.

Mrs. Tai's request was not simple, nor was it difficult to say, she only gave herself a copy of the scriptures, requiring that each page must be written exactly 9981 words, and there should be no smearing.

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all prepared, and after grinding the ink by himself, he began to transcribe the scriptures stroke by stroke. After more than an hour, half of the volume was copied, and there was no typo. Although Chi's mother didn't comment when she saw it, she could see that she was very satisfied, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

"The girl has been copying for more than an hour, so let's go back and rest first." Before lunch, Mrs. Tai will always recite the sutras in the Buddhist hall, and if she has any orders, she will send someone to summon you. Chi's mother put down this sentence, then took the scripture copied by Xiu, and went to Mrs. Tai's house to reply.

"After breakfast, the second aunt really went to look for her bad luck." Chi's mother said: "As for what was said, I haven't heard it. ”

Mrs. Tai looked at the scriptures intently, and only after a while did she say, "Wuying didn't dare to say anything. ”

Mother Chi sighed softly in her heart, she knew better than anyone else that the three words "Hua Wuying" were the knots that Mrs. Tai had hidden in her heart for 20 years: "After so many years, you still can't let go." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Tai only rested the scriptures on her lap, closed her eyes slightly, and said: "Back then, I wanted to make the decision to match her to the Hou Ye to make a room, but she said she didn't want to, but she carried me on my back when I was pregnant...... She was brought here by my mother's family, how can I not chill when she does such a thing? ”

"The second aunt was also confused for a while, this is not after giving birth to the second master, the old marquis also treated her coldly. Moreover, over the years, she has not dared to exceed the rules in front of you, and the second master has not disciplined you much, just to make you feel at ease. Chi's mother persuaded: "It's not worth being angry with you for her." You still have to recite the scriptures, but you can't be resentful. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded when she heard this, then she picked up the scriptures, and sighed while reading silently: "The words are written very much like words, I don't know if I deliberately left this hand, I want to invite favor?" ”

"This ...... I don't look like it, maybe the Hou Ye took pity on her for being a mute, and she had a little talent, so she brought it back. Chi's mother defended Xiu.

"At that time, Wuying didn't seem to be thoughtful, it turned out that she didn't look down on being just a roommate, but she made her wish to be a concubine." Mrs. Tai expressed her worries: "What's more, her appearance ...... It's always unreassuring. ”

Chi's mother didn't dare to say anything more.

Mrs. Tai looked at the thin gold font on the scriptures again, as if she had a thought: "I can't let Xiu become the second Hua Wuying." Now that his resignation has passed the weak crown, when the plague is resolved, his marriage will not be delayed! ”
