Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 763
At the same time, Zhu Xiuyuan's laughter just now made Dong Cheng suddenly understand that his little daughter and his virtuous son-in-law were actually the same person in some respects.

how to say?

According to modern terms, it is...a bit unreliable.

Because Dong Shuzhen added ingredients to the medicine pot, his virtuous son-in-law actually found it funny... How could such a serious thing be found funny?
Through this incident, Dong Cheng finally understood that Dong Shuzhen and Zhu Xiuyuan are really people all the way, and this kind of matter cannot be left to them!

Therefore, Dong Cheng shamelessly ordered Dong Shuyu to prepare the medicine himself.

He is very relieved about this eldest daughter.

Of course, it would be unreasonable for the younger daughter and her husband to have the elder daughter take the medicine, but there was no other way. Dong Cheng already wanted to hold his fat grandson.

He could only send Dong Shuyu, the most capable eldest daughter under his "account", to handle this important matter in person!

"Yes, daddy, my daughter understands. Please rest assured, daddy, my daughter will definitely take the medicine well!"

Dong Shuyu actually had a premonition before that Dong Cheng would eventually ask her to brew the medicine in person again.

With psychological preparation, Dong Shuyu agreed and seemed more cheerful.

But in fact, Dong Shuyu's heart was very complicated.

As a sister-in-law, how does she feel when she personally prepares the "kidney-tonifying and essence-boosting recipe" for her sister-in-law to drink... does it feel like she is digging a hole for herself?

Although I feel complicated, this matter has already developed like this, and my father was so angry that he fainted...

In Dong Shuyu's heart, even though he was reluctant in every possible way, he had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

"Well, you make the medicine every day, and then serve it with the food when everyone is here for dinner. I will personally watch Xianxiu and Zhen'er drink it!" Dong Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Then...you've worked so hard. You take care of the housework every day, and you also take care of making medicine. I'm really sorry in my heart!" Zhu Xiuyuan got up and gave a long salute.

"Master Marquis, you don't have to be like this. It's just a medicine. It doesn't matter. Please get up, Master Marquis!" Dong Shuyu quickly stood up and returned the courtesy.

"Hmph, although the preparation of the medicine has been left to Yu'er, Zhen'er shouldn't even think about being lazy." Dong Cheng turned to look at Dong Shuzhen, his face darkening for a moment.

Dong Shuzhen immediately lowered her head, as if listening.

"Your sister is too busy. You should continue to follow Yu'er and learn from the sidelines. Learning is one thing, and helping your sister is also another thing!" Dong Cheng said.

"Yes, daddy, my daughter knows!" Dong Shuzhen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Zhen'er, you are not young anymore. Now you are still the mistress of the Hou Mansion. With a noble status, you must behave like a noble person!" Dong Cheng's tone softened again.

The slight darkness on his face disappeared and turned into a hint of hope.

"Yes, Daddy, my daughter understands!" Dong Shuzhen continued to nod.

"Just follow your sister's example. You have to be in charge of such a big mansion after all. You can't let your good husband be distracted from the affairs of the mansion while he is busy outside!"

"This is a duty of a good wife! The Hou's family has a great career. As the mistress of the mansion, you must take responsibility. Do you understand?"

Dong Cheng would never stop preaching.

"Yes, Daddy, my daughter understands!" Dong Shuzhen continued to nod.

Seeing Dong Shuzhen's correct attitude, the last remaining anger in Dong Cheng's heart finally dissipated completely.

Finally, he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, haha, I believe that with Yu'er taking care of you, given time, Zhen'er will be a qualified mistress of the Hou Mansion!"

Dong Cheng smiled, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This farce has finally come to an end.

"By the way, Dad, Lord Marquis, the day after tomorrow is a special day, it's the annual Shangsi Festival!" Dong Shuyu suddenly raised a topic. "Shangsi Festival?"

Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan, and Dong Shuzhen were all stunned.

"Yes, the day after tomorrow is the Shangsi Festival. Since Lord Marquis and Zhen'er have returned safely from overseas, and there is a big happy event in the house, I thought, should I take advantage of this festival to have a good celebration?" Dong Shuyu said.

"Well, it's time to have a good celebration!" Dong Cheng nodded, "Shangsi's 'Sacrifice to Gao Jin', 'Cure Harvest', 'Meeting Men and Women', etc. are all folk customs for praying for more children and good luck! "

"Xian'er and Zhen'er have just gotten married again, and it happens to coincide with the Shangsi Festival. Is it God's will? To celebrate, we must celebrate in a big way, haha!"

Dong Cheng stroked his beard and laughed.

Zhu Xiuyuan secretly rolled his eyes.

This father-in-law can really connect everything with giving birth to a child!

However, Zhu Xiuyuan knew very well that Dong Cheng's hope would definitely come to nothing.

If I want to realize my wish to have a big fat grandson, I have to wait until next year at the earliest...

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiuyuan felt a sense of guilt in his heart, so he remained silent.

"Okay, okay, it's the Shangsi Festival, we must have a great time!"

However, Dong Shuzhen jumped up, clapped her hands, and shouted, very lively.

"Ok?"

Dong Cheng frowned and slowly turned his head to look at her.

Dong Shuzhen was stunned immediately, trembling all over, then silently retracted her chair, her head hanging down.

"Yu'er, please make arrangements for the Shangsi Festival. You must handle it well!" Dong Cheng said again.

"Don't worry, dad, my daughter will step up preparations!" Dong Shuyu nodded.

After talking about the Shangsi Festival, everyone talked about other things.

When it was getting late, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective small courtyards, preparing to rest.

"Husband, I'm so strong! I can hardly walk!"

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen were walking back to the inner courtyard of the main house together. Dong Shuzhen followed suit, stroking her obviously bulging belly with a distressed look on her face.

"Haha, madam, who asked you to drink so much chicken soup? Walk slowly, just treat it as a walk... Look, madam, the night is so beautiful tonight!"

Zhu Xiuyuan took her hand lightly and strolled along the alleys in Fuchu. While walking, admiring the night view of Fuchu was quite interesting.

In the same palace in the capital, Emperor Chen and Concubine You took advantage of the night to stroll in the palace and enjoy the scenery.

In the morning, he discussed matters with the ministers in the Jinshen Hall. Later, when the matter of the southeastern salt merchants came up, Chen Huang suddenly felt a headache, so he returned to the palace to take a nap.

Chen Huang slept very comfortably. It was not until an hour ago that Chen Huang woke up leisurely.

After waking up, I casually dealt with the memorial presented by Zhu Xiuyuan, then took a bath and changed clothes, and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner...

Now, Emperor Chen was feeling refreshed. After dinner and it got dark, the air was cool, so he took Concubine You with him to take a walk in the palace and enjoy the scenery at the same time.

Concubine You Guifei has been looking for opportunities to advise Emperor Chen and persuade him to agree to Zhu Xiuyuan's "refined salt strategy".

Promoting refined salt is of great significance to Concubine You!
