green bamboo dream

Yu Zhu spread her hands regretfully, shook her head and said: "No, you will have nightmares if you listen to the sound of the piano at night, how can you say that you are good at the piano?"

Chunxian's face was flushed red, she opened her mouth not knowing what to say, and finally she had to lower her head dejectedly. 【26nbsp;】

Yu Zhu waved her hands with a smile, and was about to speak.

A little maid came to report outside: "Mother Zhou is here."

Then a short, middle-aged woman with a round face came in with her head bowed, and she blessed Yuzhu with a smile on her face, and her gesture was very respectful. This was the mother in charge of the yard later.

Yu Zhu nodded slightly: "Mother Zhou."

Mother Zhou stood up and said with a smile: "Greetings to my wife, how do you feel today? The old slave should have greeted you a long time ago, but these days you are too busy to be a slave and don't bother me."

Yu Zhu would not put on airs to irrelevant people, and kindly asked Qin Si to move her a small chair to sit down and talk.

Mother Zhou didn't seem to see Chunxian who was standing awkwardly aside, she declined and sat down half of her buttocks with a face full of gratitude, "Don't dare to waste my wife's time, the slaves have already ordered everyone, look— —”

"Let someone come in." Yu Zhu generally knew that the second room didn't have too many servants, and such a large hall was enough, so let's meet here directly.

Zhou's mother hurriedly stood up to answer, bowed and retreated.

Backing out the door, Zhou's mother didn't dare to delay, she walked quickly through a narrow corridor and entered a small hall.When a group of maids and daughters-in-law waiting inside saw her coming in, they immediately surrounded her and started asking questions.

"Meet your wife? Would you like to talk?"

"I heard that she is the only direct daughter of the Lin family, is she fierce?"

"Look at your temper?"

……

Zhou's mother raised a light smile at the corner of her mouth, raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you think I saw? That damn girl Chunxian had red eye circles, she stood there unable to say a word. The two people beside her were dismissed earlier , didn't even see a shadow."

"Oh, I'm afraid it's not good to punish the room when you enter the door?" A woman who was on good terms with Zhou's mother hesitated.

"Hey, who knows, stop talking nonsense, the wife wants to see someone, hurry up, because the wife is young and easy to fool, and there are three mothers in charge who don't seem to be easy to mess with, give me a while Be honest, don't make fun of yourself and embarrass yourself." Zhou's mother had uncontrollable excitement on her face. The yard has been in chaos for so many years, and the second master rarely comes back when he doesn't care about things. Some slaves really think that they are masters the...

Standing still after entering the door, although the rule is that it is not allowed to look up at the master, many people have never seen the new wife before, and they can't bear to secretly glance at the new wife curiously.

I saw Yu Zhu sitting at the head with a smile, Yun Fei's white and tender skin was exposed on the collar of Yun Fei's brocade gown made of colorful satin and colorful flowers, her palm-sized delicate face had picturesque eyebrows, four maids and three stewards Mothers surrounded her, some were holding small bowls and snacks, some were holding tea trays, and the rest stood behind them with lowered eyebrows and folded hands. All of them were wrapped in brocade, gold, silver, pearls and emeralds, making the woman in the middle even more dignified. Tsinghua University is awe-inspiring to see.

"Madam, please." All the maids and servants knelt down respectfully, even if they were a little contemptuous at the beginning, they have put away their thoughts now.

Yu Zhu was still a little unaccustomed to such a big kowtow, but with a calm face, she cried out with a smile.Folding his hands on his legs, he looked at the people below with great interest. This was the first time he really took in people, although there was definitely no lack of eyeliner.

"I've seen you too, and you've seen me too, so you've seen me." Yu Zhu's voice was soft and friendly, and she looked at the people who were listening attentively because of the master's words, and then said: "Would you like to see it again?" One look? Don't misunderstand the master in the future."

Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed that someone's body was lowered, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and smiling, and nodded to Yao's mother.

Mother Yao bowed slightly, then took a step forward and began to speak for the mistress.

It's not that Yuzhu is lazy. In fact, the more unpredictable the superiors are, the more obedient and respectful the lower talents are. If they talk more, their personality will be exposed. Let's stop there. Anyway, Yao's mother is in this line of work and she is very experienced.

Mother Yao didn't say too much, after all, the old lady and the eldest lady must be staring at her just after entering the door, it's better not to be too much, because being a young daughter-in-law is different from being a long-term daughter-in-law.

"Mother Zhou stay here for a while." Seeing that it was almost done, Yuzhu wanted to send everyone away, and finally said to Chunxian as if she suddenly remembered: "Go back and practice the piano again. If the sound of the piano can be heard, From now on, if I can’t sleep at noon, I’ll ask you to come over and play a section.”

Having lost such a big face in front of the servant girl who was usually dismissive, Chun Xian gritted her teeth shyly to support her crumbling body, and said in a miserable voice: "Yes, the servant girl knows."

After everyone dispersed, Yu Zhu smiled and said to Zhou's mother: "I am young and I have just entered the house. I don't understand many things. I am afraid that I will have to trouble my mother more."

Zhou's mother didn't even dare to say anything, and said respectfully: "If you have anything to say, please tell Madam."

"Did everyone in the yard come just now? Is there a complete list?"

Mother Zhou's complexion changed slightly, she hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "Yes... one is missing, she works in the study, but... but she still wears a filial piety, it's better not to be bumped by her on the day when the wife is happy, I didn't call her over."

Yu Zhu was startled, this is amazing, which maid would dare to wear mourning in the Duke's mansion?

"Madam heard from the maidservant that this Zhuxiang girl is actually not a maid in the mansion. Her brother was a soldier of the second master three years ago." Hua Ruo served tea with her own hands. Zhou's mother hurriedly stopped to thank her, and then went on road.

"Zhuxiang's elder brother is handsome, so he brought trouble like this—" Zhou's mother sighed, "It is said that there is a young master from a rich family in Beijing who is born to like men. A few boys. I happened to meet Zhuxiang's brother on the street once, and I couldn't forget it all the time. Later, I thought about it so much that I sent someone to take him captive and raise him in the yard outside for fun. Zhuxiang's elder brother is also amazing. , ran out desperately after finding a chance...Unfortunately, I was chased home again, seeing that there was no hope of escaping, I immediately slammed my head against the wall..." Mother Zhou sighed, it is better to be a slave in this world, saying When beating a dog, it depends on the owner, and when you go out, you will also look at it with high regard.Small families and small households have no room to resist when encountering such a thing.

"This name won't work." Yao's mother frowned, and interrupted her abruptly, "This name conflicts with my wife, so I need to change the word before it."

Yuzhu signaled Yao's mother to be calm and calm, and then signaled Zhou's mother to continue talking.

"Zhuxiang's father saw his only son die in front of his eyes, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe, so he let go on the spot. Her mother died long ago, and Zhuxiang was the only one left in the family... The young master felt very sorry when he found out about it. I heard that Zhuxiang is six points like her brother, and she is also a rare beauty, so she started thinking again." Zhou's mother took a sip of tea, looked at Yuzhu's expressionless face, and continued a little nervously : "Later, the second master heard the news and rushed over, so he happened to save it... Later——"

"Later, the second master must have done something to avenge this soldier under him, and at the same time offended that nobleman. Worried that Zhuxiang would be retaliated, he took him to the mansion to take care of him, and allowed her to be a filial piety for his father, and then Because she is not a real maid, let her stay in the study." Yu Zhu interjected, thinking that Zhu Xiang seemed to be a good person, and even Zhou's mother was a little biased in her words, because she was afraid of cleaning up by herself. her?

Zhou's mother was a little uncomfortable, and said: "Madam is wise, that's it. Zhuxiang has always been very disciplined, and she hardly goes out of the study."

"Okay, I see." Yu Zhu stood up, "It just so happens that the second master promised me this morning that I can go to the study to find some books to read, so let's go and have a look at this poor girl, anyway, her filial piety is coming soon. It's over, I can't collide. Man Tao, you lead the way, I haven't been to the second master's inner study yet."

"Yes, ma'am." Mantao responded a little excitedly, and walked out gracefully.

Cheng Xunxun's inner study is not very far away. Unlike the usual set up in the inverted seat, his study is in a small courtyard next to the main courtyard. In front of the inner study.

This small courtyard was originally a small garden, but after renovation, it was opened up with the large courtyard and became a second-bedroom courtyard. There are still many flowers and plants, and the scenery is beautiful and quiet, which is very suitable for quiet reading.

Because there was no prior notice, Yu Zhu looked at the closed door and signaled Zhou's mother to come forward and call the door.

After being glanced at by Yao's mother with a half-smile, Zhou's mother had no choice but to step forward and shout: "Zhuxiang, Zhuxiang, open the door."

"Hey, here we come." Immediately after clearing his throat and whispering softly, a soft voice that seemed to scratch the bottom of the heart sounded.

Then the door opened, and a snow-skinned woman stood in front of the door, like a clear lotus that emerged from the mud without staining, with red lips and teeth, gnat head and moth eyebrows, plain white clothes, and small white flowers set her off perfectly. Pretty.

Seeing so many people outside the door, she was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, and hurriedly bowed to Yu Zhu: "Madam, please be well."

Zhou's mother was a little apprehensive, but Yu Zhu just looked critically at the Zhuxiang girl, then smiled and said, "Forget it." Then she walked in on her own.

The study room is very large, probably formed by connecting two rooms. At a glance, everything is quite complete. There are windows facing south and north. Between the two windows is a huge red sandalwood book case , on which are neatly placed Wuyuan’s inkstones, top-quality pine smoke ink ingots, blue and white porcelain brush washers from Guangyao, and a shelf full of Xuan brushes of the "ancient method" variety, plus pen holders, pen cases, Shuicheng, ink bed, inkstone dripping, pen licking, paperweight... It seems to be the same thing, Yuzhu picked up the exquisite inside and outside painting on the table, clear flowers and ganoderma patterns, and played with it, tsk tsk in his heart, face project It's a pretty good job.

At the back is the same magnificent and simple Duobao Pavilion, in which there are some small green pine and cypress bonsai, and the rest are small wooden objects. It's a faint satin-like purple-black, deep and elegant, and it's full of good old things.Walking around again, there is a building behind the main study room. There are some stoves, teapots, tea trays and other things in it. One has been converted into a women's boudoir. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward.
