Foster son and husband

Chapter 102
After finishing speaking, he turned and went back to the East Courtyard. Baoju followed him, and accidentally dropped a scroll in his arms on the ground. He wanted to pick it up but couldn't free it. Seeing that Master Hou had gone far, he hurriedly said to Cui Lian:
"Pick this up quickly!"

Cui Lian was nervous, thinking about when the grandma would come back, how could she care about Baoju, she turned her head and left, but the little girls also ignored him and followed him.

Baoju was anxious and angry: "You, you..."

Rui Zhu ran over from the Moon Cave Gate: "Master Hou asked me to fetch some items!"

Baoju asked her to pick up the painting scroll on the ground, and then let her take some things in her arms, and said, "It's a good thing you came, otherwise I don't know what to do, the painting scroll is my favorite, if it falls on the ground, they will be alone Don't pick it up!"

Rui Zhu took a look at Cui Lian and the others: "We're not a family anymore, so naturally I won't pick it up for you!"

She lowered her voice, but she was still heard by Ping'er with sharp ears, and immediately chased after them and replied:

"Sister Ruizhu, please explain more clearly: who is a family with whom, and who is not a family with whom? Who refuses to pick it up for him? Did you hear him calling someone to pick it up for him?"

The little girl followed behind Baoju, her voice was high-pitched and crisp, piercing into his ears, scratching his eardrums ache, he could only hear a lot of babbling, but couldn't figure out what it meant.

Rui Zhu turned pale: "You little hoof, what did I say? I didn't say anything!"

"You said it! You said 'we're not a family anymore', I'm not deaf!"

Cui Lian pointed at Rui Zhu: "What do you mean? The Tsinghua University has been repairing and tidying up the rooms these days. What is it for? Grandma doesn't let us talk nonsense, but you are here to talk! You said there is something new. Grandma is here, right? You have a new aunt to be your backer, right? We are about to be kicked out. Our grandma is not part of this family anymore? Isn’t it? Did you all hear me? Ruizhu from the East Courtyard, she But did you say that?"

"Yes! Sister Ruizhu, that's what she said!"

The little girls said in unison, Ruizhu cried, Baoju was stunned, subconsciously felt that he had provoked some trouble, and hurriedly wanted to slip away, Cui Lian caught up with him a few steps and stopped in front of him, her almond eyes were gentle and affectionate, light and thin The red lips smiled slightly:
"Brother Baoju, you heard it just now!"

Bao Ju looked at Cui Lian, his face flushed red, he shook his head in panic and nodded again: "I didn't hear that! I heard..."

The little girls burst into laughter, Baoju left Ruizhu who was crying and couldn't find his way, and ran away as if to escape.

Baoju returned to the East Courtyard, Xu Junying had finished changing, Ruibao came in and hung up his official uniform, Xu Junying asked Baoju:

"What's going on over there? Noisy chatter!"

Baoju calmed himself down while putting down his things, and told the truth: "...Ruizhu said something that shouldn't be said, and the little girl over there is quarreling with her!"

"What did Ruizhu say?"

Baoju glanced at him anxiously: "Ruizhu said, 'We're not a family any more', and then the little girl started chirping, saying, that a new grandma is coming, and that the eldest grandma is going to be driven away...Little girl I really thought that Cui Lian used Rui Zhu to deliberately stir up this remark, and it might be spread in the garden tomorrow, and when Grandma leaves the East Courtyard, it's not that she wants to leave, it's..."

"Is this the result that Cui Lian wants?" Xu Junying smiled: "You guessed wrong, go down. Ruibao stay!"

Baoju closed the door and went out, Ruibao stood anxiously with his head down, Xu Junying sat at the table, and tapped the table lightly with his fingers:
"Why does Rui Zhu say such things? How did you hear it? Tell me too!"

Ruibao knelt down slowly: "Master Hou..."

Xu Junying said: "The old lady has eight girls who are close to her. She has been around her since she was eight years old. She loves you and is willing to give you and Ruizhu to me. How can I be willing to embarrass you? You two and Jinhua Tang has never broken letters, and Jinhuatang knows everything about my place, and Jinhuatang, I only ask this time, and you won’t say anything?"

Ruibao sobbed softly: "Forgive me, Lord Hou! Mother Ji wants to ask about this matter, we have to answer, I don't know what Ruizhu said, I, I myself don't dare to talk about everything here This time, Ruixue celebrated her birthday two days ago. Ruizhu and I went to congratulate her. The sisters sat down and talked about it. When it comes to grandma, Ruixue said that grandma is actually very kind and virtuous. After discussing it, let the new grandma live in the upper room of Tsinghua University, and she will find another yard by herself..."

Xu Junying frowned: "She, went to tell the old lady? The old lady agrees?"

Ruibao said: "It should be accurate, otherwise Ruixue wouldn't say that!"

Xu Junying nodded: "Okay, let's go down. You and Ruizhu, just meet the girls over there with courtesy, don't talk casually."

"Yes! The servant has remembered!"

Mei Niang still couldn't make it to Jinhuatang in time, so Cui Lian sent a woman to Jinhuatang to inquire about the news, took another box of shortbread, and asked Cheng'er to take it to the third grandma's yard to say hello on behalf of the eldest grandma, Check whether the third grandma has gone to Jinhuatang. If she hasn't, wait for the master to come back and ask, and there will be a place to arrange for the eldest grandma.

Mama Wang brought Ping'er with her as usual, and was responsible for the reception between the west courtyard and the Tsinghua campus.

Meiniang went back to Tsinghua University to ask some questions, then went into the inner room to take a bath and change clothes, Cuisi Cuixi took off the cloth bags on each of them and handed them to Cui Lian to put them away, and each went to wash them, Mama Wang came back and took a look, Feeling relieved, she took Cheng'er and Ping'er to the kitchen to get some food.

Meiniang's master and servant figured it all out. Sitting on the couch, reading a book, drawing in red, hooking up a sweater, Meiniang began to train Cui Lian:

"What do you mean by making such a fuss? Do you want people to think we are pitiful? I wish this could be done quickly and quietly. If you do it like this... just look at it, that person is embarrassing , he might not let me move out!"

Cui Lian stood by the side, wringing her hands, with tears in her eyes: "I don't want grandma to leave Tsinghua University! Why should I let her live in the main courtyard and grandma live in the side courtyard? Grandma is the wife who is currently married by Ming Media. What is she? Wife Ping, later on, the emperor ordered the marriage to be too late! Why did grandma let it go? Hugh abandoned the hall and left the Houfu, but she also wants to go out from here, the seat of the principal room, in a dignified way!"

Meiniang was stunned, Cuixi and Cuisi also stared at Cui Lian blankly, outside the door, Xu Junying had already raised the curtain, but did not step in, only to hear Meiniang say:

"You girl, I'm impressed. I only say that you have a bright mind, but I didn't expect you to have quite a personality."

Trish asked: "What is character? Don't I have one?"

Mei Niang said: "The personalities here are very different."

"Then who am I like?"

"You too...you are very different too, oh, forget it, I can't explain it clearly!"

The master and servants giggled, Xu Junying lowered the curtain, and waved towards the corridor. The servants who had been chased away by him came back, and Xu Junying said, "Report!"

The mother-in-law shouted loudly: "Master Hou is back!"

The house is not so messy this time, and I didn't look at Cyclamen's account book tonight.

Meiniang came down from the roof, Cuixi put on the embroidered shoes for her, and the three maids lined up behind her, took a few steps to meet her, and saluted the Lord Hou.

Mei Niang said: "Your Majesty came for dinner at Jin Hua Tang, did you hear the good news?"

Xu Junying nodded: "The third sister-in-law is happy, and the third brother said that you have a share of the credit, let me convey my thanks on your behalf!"

Mei Niang smiled: "Third Master, you are being polite. I have received a lot of help from Ru Lan before, and I didn't even say a word of thanks."

Xu Junying glanced at the girls standing side by side: "Why, why don't you give me a cup of tea?"

Cuixi hurriedly ran to make tea, and after a while held a cup of tea bowl and put it in front of Xu Junying: "Master Hou, please use it!"

Xu Junying looked at Mei Niang: "Aren't you going to drink?"

Mei Niang shook her head: "I haven't eaten yet, I'll have some soup later."

Xu Junying looked at Cui Lian: "Why don't you go to Jinhua Hall for dinner?"

Cui Lian lowered her head, and Meiniang replied: "I went to Ru Lan's place and talked to her for a while, and other sisters-in-law also came to congratulate her, and they missed the meal time by talking and laughing. Cousin is here, it's okay!"

Xu Junying suddenly asked: "The last time Lingxuzi gave you those pills, the pain in your body will be healed after eating, do you have any more here?"

Mei Niang's heart skipped a beat, but she made a blank expression: "What pills? Who is in pain? Is it the box that Lord Hou gave me a few days ago? And, I only took two pills!"

Xu Junying looked at her face carefully, seeing no flaws, and said, "It's not that, don't you remember Lingxuzi?"

"Lingxuzi," Meiniang said again, "why don't you remember? Your friend, who gave me a pulse check, and another one, because they came, Rulan's Xijiang Xuelan was moved to the backyard .”

"The other one, his name is Zhang Jingyun." Xu Junying didn't take his eyes off Mei Niang's face: "You may not know that Zhang Jingyun is the eldest son of the Jingguo Mansion. Last time I saw a girl on the street and beat her with a whip. The Fourth Young Master of the Jingguo Mansion, that girl... her surname is Cen, and today I know her name is Cen Meimei!"

Cuixi and Cuisi over there were sweating nervously, and Mei Niang was stared at by Xu Junying, her expression was a little flustered, she turned her face away, and said gently:
"That girl, she's really amazing! Does the Marquis... If you think she's good, you can ask someone to ask her. If you have a clean background, please come back and be a good concubine, that's all!"

hum!It must be smelling something, maybe I met Zhang Jingyun Lingxuzi today and saw him by the side.Then play for real with him and let him investigate. There are so many people with the surname Cen, so what if he finds the Cen family in Dongcheng?The door of the Cen family is right there, and someone lives there, so it is impossible to ask for a marriage. How can a merchant woman who runs a restaurant be worthy of his noble family?

Xu Junying was stunned for a moment, and lowered her eyes resentfully: How did she change her mind?To understand it this way... begging to come back and be a good concubine?What do you think of him!

Cuixi glanced at Meiniang secretly, and Cuisi had a lot of effort to suppress herself, keeping the shy expression on her face, and didn't laugh out loud.

　Second watch, do you have any fans? . . . . .
