"Brother Yan hasn't come back yet?"

For the green calyx who came to help temporarily in the past few days, she couldn't tell that this was the first time that Mrs. Zhu of Yangning asked this same question, and when she shook her head helplessly, she could clearly see the trace of disappointment in Zhu's eyes. So, she had to change another hot tea and bring it up, and then sat down on the small pestle under the Zhu family, and then said, "Old lady, please relax." Although the military masters in front of the door couldn't ask anything, it was more appropriate to say that they were guards than surveillance. Besides, you know the shrewd nature of the fourth young master, and even if you encounter trouble, you will definitely take care of it properly. ”

Zhu Shi almost calloused her ears when she heard these comforting words, but the green calyx was by her side for the longest time after all, and the gentle and kind words made her feel a little calmer, and after sighing at this time, she leaned on the pillow behind her head, and then said: "What kind of nonsense is coming out of the house?" ”

"Back to the old lady, it's just that there was some panic up and down at first, and no one dared to chew her tongue." Speaking of which, the nasal calyx had to move out of another stubble that had never been mentioned before, "When Manager Liu saw me before, he also talked about this. The old lady is sharp-eyed, the fourth young master is sharp-eyed, and all the people who moved to Dingfu Street with us are not those wall grasses that tend to be inflammatory, but they are appeased in a few sentences, he is much faster than usual, and he wants to kowtow to the old lady to thank him. "What a kowtow! His family has been an old man in the house for many generations, and his grandfather has been the chief steward, and he is still the chief steward. The third child also wooed him before, but he didn't let the head of the Hou Mansion do it, and he followed my old wife over, just this heart, I will take him. Zhu thought that when the family was divided before, many people were willing to follow, and in the end, they had to carefully pick and choose, and they couldn't help but smile a little more on their faces, "Speaking of which, I didn't expect that so many people would follow, I should have picked some more to send to the three girls, there are few people in her place, and the people who buy outside are unreliable after all." ", "The old lady is partial to the third aunt and grandmother again. Be careful when the words reached the fourth young master, he muttered in his heart. "Seeing that Zhu's mood is a little better," Lu Cao naturally followed the gag, "Besides, although there are few servants in Jingyuan, it is the third aunt who raises a lot of women and children in the family. These people's monthly expenses are not more than the monthly money in our house, and they are not so picky when they work. The only bad thing is that they are all living deeds, even if they are used well, "in the future, the husband will be promoted or otherwise, and he will also go out." ”

"Uncle Quan's child" and Lan'er are the most compatible pair, and the two of them think exactly the same thing. Zhu's face became more and more gentle, and he smiled while holding the thick and soft small pillow, "The way of employing people, the two of them are far better than my old bones."

I only hope that Lan'er will give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible, so as not to have anything to say. Since the conversation has shifted from the big things outside to these sporadic little things, the green calyx naturally accompanied the old lady to chatter knowingly, until Zhu's sleepiness came up, she took advantage of the situation to let people rest on the kang, and then tiptoed out after tucking the corners. When she got outside, she saw that Zheng's mother was already waiting there, and hurriedly walked two steps forward to meet her.

"The old lady has fallen asleep." "That's good." Mother Zheng pressed her chest, very relieved, and then looked at the green calyx approvingly and said, "You can still bear it, no matter what the little ones say, the old lady will be impatient after a while." Simply turned around and pulled the fourth young master back to the old lady, although it is good for you to take care of those purchases, there should also be a housekeeper daughter-in-law in this house. ", "Zheng's mother is too famous, I am ...... young after all", "I'm not young, the old lady has kept you for two years, and you are now in your early twenties." Zheng's mother interrupted Green Calyx's words with a smile, and then said sincerely, "I'll tell you directly, my mother was the old lady's arm at the beginning, and then it was replaced by me, but unfortunately although I have a daughter, I am a stuffy gourd, and I can't mention anything, but there must be someone around the old lady to mention something." The old lady mentioned that I should go back in two years to enjoy the blessings, if I go away and no one else picks up, then how can I do it? The green calyx was brought up by Zheng's mother in the past, and she was deeply afraid of her scheming methods, so it was the first time that she put her heart in her heart. knew that there was no shortage of ideas to promote her, but her husband had not yet gained a firm foothold in the outer courtyard, and she did feel that the Zhu family was far better to serve now than before, and she couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she lowered her head and hummed softly.

Zheng's mother was happy to see this, and was about to say a few more words, when she saw that the curtain outside had been lifted, but it was a housekeeper's daughter-in-law who squeezed her eyebrows. She thought about it, and simply pulled the green calyx out with her, and asked bluntly as soon as she stepped out of the threshold; "This is the time for the old lady to take a nap, what big thing can't wait for this moment?"

"Yes, I know I shouldn't have done this." The young daughter-in-law hurriedly saluted, and then lowered her eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's really Manager Liu who said that there is something important, so I can only come to run an errand." As she spoke, she glanced left and right, quickly stuffed something into Zheng's mother's hand, and said in a low voice without waiting for Zheng's mother to frown, "This is what was found on the ground when someone was in the backyard today." Isn't it because there are people guarding the door, so the old lady asked the husband to be more cautious, so Manager Liu said that the backyard patrol at night was inevitably a little slack, and it was expected that things should have come in last night.

It was too late for him to get this thing, although he didn't know whether it was good or bad, but after thinking about it, he still presented it, and as for whether to report it to the old lady, he asked Zheng's mother to decide. Mother Zheng was very useful when she said this, and immediately put things in her sleeves and nodded at the young daughter-in-law. When the people retreated, she rushed back to the side of the green calyx and beckoned, and pulled people into the house. When she arrived at the back of the blue gauze cupboard in the bright room, she turned to look at the green calyx and said, "You say, do you want to give this thing to the old lady?" Such a big thing, Green Calyx weighed it in his heart, and finally shook his head, but he could say. Ran said something else: "Mother Zheng, although the old lady's body is not as healthy as before, what she hates the most is that others deceive her, I think it's better for us to present it honestly." Now there is only one old lady left, if you can't make a decision, you will always come to you for details, if it is not appropriate, then you will slowly persuade it. ”

Mother Zheng nodded again and again when she heard this, and felt more and more that her previous choice was correct. It's just that she entered the east room with the green calyx, and saw that Zhu was still asleep on the kang, she and the green calyx looked at each other, after all, no one dared to disturb, so she simply sat and waited with a small pestle, and unconsciously took a nap together. I don't know how long it took, but the green calyx, which looked like a chicken pecking rice, suddenly heard a light cough and immediately opened its eyes. Seeing that Zhu had woken up, she hurriedly and quietly kicked Zheng's mother lightly with her foot, and when she saw that Zheng's mother also raised her head, she stood up and took the tea cup on the big kang table on the side.

"Old lady, I'll go and change the hot tea first." When the green calyx left, Zheng's mother hurriedly stepped forward to personally serve Zhu to sit up, and then handed over the letter in her sleeve and said the reason. She was worried, seeing that Zhu nodded approvingly to her, and immediately opened the seal, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't expect that the next moment Zhu took out the letter and didn't read a few lines, Huo Ran's face changed greatly, and he actually smashed his fist on his side.

"This brute! This wolf-hearted brute! ”

Seeing that Zhu's face was so angry that her face turned blue, Zheng's mother hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, but she couldn't help but regret it in her heart. Seeing that the green calyx came in with tea, she couldn't help but glance sideways. Unexpectedly, before the green calyx could react, Zhu snorted angrily: "I have already given the Hou Mansion to him, and the belongings have been given to him, he himself is restless, and An Ren is also his own choice, relying on others to do something!" He was so arrogant that he went to Han's house to withdraw from the wilderness, he thought he was a person, and he thought that the capital was somewhere! "What are you angry about, old lady! ”

When the Zhu family was angry, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside, and immediately after, a small figure came in. Seeing that it was Chen Ting, Zheng's mother and Lu Cao hurriedly saluted, and Zhu looked at the little grandson who was raised by his side, thinking of his hard-working mother and vicious father, his face was extremely complicated for a while, and he smiled to himself, but he couldn't say anything.

Chen Ting didn't know this, so he stepped forward and kowtowed to Zhu obediently, hugged Zhu's leg and said, "The old lady hasn't been out of the house for a few days. Although it was cold outside, the fourth brother kept saying that going out often is conducive to the nourishment of the earth's qi. It's not snowing today, why don't I take the old lady for a walk in the yard? After being interrupted by Chen Ting like this, Zhu remembered that it was useless for him to know these things at this time, and his impulse would only ruin a big thing, so he reluctantly pressed it. couldn't help Chen Ting's soft grinding and hard foaming, she finally agreed, and Zheng's mother and Lu Calyx served and put on a coat and went out. Before the two of them had taken two steps in the snow-swept courtyard, they only heard a shout of surprise at the gate of the courtyard, followed by the two mothers-in-law to get out of the way, and a spirit figure also rushed in.

"Old lady, abandoned brother!"

Seeing that it was Chen Yan, not to mention the Zhu family and Chen Ting, even Zheng's mother's green calyx and the people in the courtyard were all elated. Zhu Shi hugged the person without waiting for Chen Yan to come close and saluted, and looked up and down carefully for a while before he said angrily: "If people don't come back, they won't give a letter, do you know how worried I am about you!" "That's it, fourth brother, if you don't come back, I'm in a hurry!" Chen Yan touched Chen Ting's head with a smile, and obediently apologized to the Zhu family, accompanied them in the courtyard for a while, and then impatiently helped the Zhu family into the house. When he coaxed Chen Ting away in a few words, he saw that Zhu seemed to be smiling, and Zheng's mother's face was also full of worry, so she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked, "I'm all right, what's wrong with the old lady?" Seeing that Zhu Shi took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over, Chen Yan suddenly took it strangely, and grinned when he saw it: "I thought the old lady was worried about something." Don't worry, I'll have to go out later, so I'll leave this matter to me by the way. ”，！ ~！
