Chapter 196: New Year's Greetings
Before the evening, Zhu fell ill.
For the people of Daxia, the fifteenth year is not over, especially before the sixth day of the new year, going out to pay New Year's greetings, entertaining guests, and miscellaneous things can make the hostess of a big family busy from morning to night.
Zhu's illness, the matter can only fall on the old lady. The old lady was only busy for two days before her eyes turned black, and the soles of her feet fluttered, and she felt that her old body could not stand it.
Duan Shaoqing was also in a hurry at home, and the car that should have been arranged went out on a business trip and was delayed once.
"Mother, what did the doctor say, aren't the second siblings okay?"
The old lady's mouth was foaming, and when she was asked by her son, she was angry: "You are an uncle, why do you ask so much!"
Duan Shaoqing endured depression and said, "It's not that there are too many things at home, my son feels sorry for you."
The old lady was a little more relieved, and then said, "The doctor didn't say why. People don't seem to have a big problem, who knows what's wrong, and they get dizzy when they come together."
The old lady even suspected that Zhu was pretending, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible.
This is the first time that the Zhu family has presided over the New Year, and if he doesn't behave well, he is not afraid of losing his housekeeping rights?
Zhu really didn't care about housekeeping as much as the old lady thought, and when he waited until the fourth day of junior high school, he said to the old lady: "The daughter-in-law has a strange illness, and I always feel that something is wrong......
The old lady frowned at this.
Rushing to Hua'er?
After so many years of not clash with each other, suddenly clash with each other?
Zhu leaned against the head of the bed with a weak look: "The second girl is a coquette, and there is no reason for the second girl to avoid it. My daughter-in-law thought, why don't we move out of the second room."
The old lady's eyes flashed: "You mean to divide the family?"
Zhu struggled to sit up straighter: "How could a daughter-in-law think about separating the family. It's just that we will move out for a while, and then we will move back when the second girl is out of the cabinet."
"What does this look like?" The old lady denied without thinking, "It's good to move out, don't you let outsiders speculate that your two rooms are not compatible?" Or do you want to let outsiders know that you and Hua'er are in conflict? Hua'er is going to marry Guchangbo Mansion this year. Zhu—"
Before the old lady finished preaching, she saw Zhu's eyes roll and faint.
The maids were in a hurry for a while, and Zhu woke up slowly, looking weak.
The old lady endured boredom and comforted her, returned to Ruyi Hall and thought about it, and came back to her senses: The second girl has offended the Zhu family?
Thinking about the time when Zhu fell ill, the old lady told her henchman Hongyun to investigate.
Shaoqing's Mansion said that it was the Zhu family's housekeeper, and it was the old lady who really controlled the fundamentals, and Mama Hongyun asked without too much effort.
"There was a little maid who overheard the dispute between the second girl and the cousin, and the fourth girl was also ...... at the time."
After listening to her confidant's reply, the old lady was so angry that she put the cup on the table: "This dead girl!"
is not only angry Duan Yunhua's trouble, but also angry at Zhu's ignorance.
After being angry, the old lady didn't ask Xin Yu to ask clearly, nor did she mention this matter to Duan Yunhua, but just called her to Ruyi Hall to advise: "Guchang Bofu is different from our family, and when you marry in, you will inevitably deal with the royal family. Grandmother invited a grandmother from the palace to teach you well, so as to save things from going wrong in the future. As for you, during this time, you can learn the rules with peace of mind and prepare for marriage."
Listening to this plan for himself, Duan Yunhuawen complied, and when he found out later that it was difficult to get out of his own yard, it was a later story.
Hearing that the second girl did not go out of school behind closed doors, Zhu's illness improved.
The second old man, Duan Wenbai, was a little worried about his wife: "Aren't you afraid that the old lady will let you make rules?"
Zhu smiled: "The family is still too busy with things, and the old lady is not so idle."
"I'm afraid that when the eldest brother continues, the old lady will settle the account after the autumn."
Zhu sneered: "Let's talk about it at that time. I just know that if I don't say a word now, I won't be able to stop my geese."
Duan Wenbai hugged Zhu's shoulder: "It's all because of me, wronged
You're with the kids."
"Don't think so, master, you can't choose your background. The eldest brother is an official in the court, and most of the family property is taken care of by you. The old lady needs us to share the burden for my eldest brother, and I will be too excessive."
Duan Wenbai nodded.
"Thank you also to Qingqing......
Xin Yu heard that Duan Yunhua was detained and was not allowed to leave the courtyard, and was happy for Duan Yunyan.
A girl with a mother to protect her is always happier.
"Cousin Qing—"
Xin Yu looked at the little girl who was approaching, and showed a gentle smile: "Is there something wrong with the fourth cousin?"
Duan Yunyan put a handkerchief on Xin Yu's hand: "Mother said that if you get help from others, you will be rewarded, this is my thank you gift."
Xin Yu unfolded her handkerchief and saw a pair of birds standing on the blooming plum branches, and couldn't hide her surprise: "This is embroidered by the fourth cousin?"
"Well, the magpie I embroidered. When the plum blossoms bloom, spring will come, and there will be good luck." The little girl looked solemn, "I'm not good at embroidering now, and when I'm done embroidering later, I'll embroider a beautiful one for my cousin."
"This handkerchief is very beautiful, thank you fourth cousin, I like it very much." Xin Yu carefully folded the handkerchief and put it away.
After receiving this handkerchief, until he returned to Qingsong Bookstore on the seventh day of the new year, Xin Yu's mood was good.
"Happy New Year." Liu Zhou and Shi rushed to give Xin Yu a New Year's greeting.
Xin Yu gave a generous reward to everyone in the bookstore, and the people in the bookstore were busy cleaning up inside and out, preparing for the opening of the door tomorrow.
The eighth day of the first lunar month is a good day, and the opening time of Qingsong Bookstore is slightly later than the shops on this street, and you can hear the sound of firecrackers outside, so it is not lively.
Liu Zhou and Shi each carried a firecracker and prepared to open the door to set it off.
As soon as Liu Zhou pulled the door, he was so frightened that he quickly closed it.
Xin Yu was walking out with the shopkeeper Hu and the others, and when he saw this, he cast an inquiring gaze.
"Boss, there are a lot of people out there!" Liu Zhou looked nervous, "It seems that he has something in his hands, and he doesn't know what to do."
Blatant robbery? It can't be so rampant, right?
"I'll see."
"The owner—" Seeing Xin Yu step forward, Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly shouted, "Let Liu Zhou see it."
If he really wants to encounter trouble, let the young and strong stand up, and he will take the owner to the back door.
"No, I don't." Xin Yu smiled and opened the door.
There are so many people in the bookstore, if there was really any bad luck, she would have "seen" it a long time ago.
Outside the door, there was a group of people standing in Wupress, and Xin Yu saw Gu Yu in front of the station at a glance.
"You-"
Gu Yu took a step forward: "Miss Kou, thanks to you, the neighbors have this New Year, this reunion year. Today, one person from each neighborhood has come to greet you for the New Year."
After the young man finished speaking, the people who came, old or young, men and women, saluted the girl standing in front of the Qingsong Bookstore.
"Miss Kou, Happy New Year!"
