Foster son and husband

Chapter 133
The next morning, Meiniang didn't get up until the hour of Chen. Cuixi and Cuisi hurriedly helped her wash, dress, and dress up, and pushed her to the table to have breakfast. Look at the couch and ask:

"Has Master Hou left?"

Cui Si replied: "The Lord Hou took Bai Zhan out at dawn, and before leaving, he asked Grandma to sleep more."

Mei Niang lowered her eyes and snorted secretly: "What time is this, can I still go to see Heng'er?"

Cuixi said: "Grandma is late, after breakfast, she has to go to Ziyun Hall to listen to the women's reply!"

"Can you not go today?"

"Eldest grandma, let's go!" Cuixi filled a bowl of hot porridge and handed it to her: "Eldest madam taught grandma: the plan for a year lies in spring, and there are many things in spring, so you have to be careful and strict. Relax!"

"If you don't let Songhuo die in summer, no one can stand the hot weather!"

As Mei Niang said, she picked up the spoon and stirred it vigorously in the porridge bowl, venting her resentment: "Xu Junying! He ran away after finishing his work, and made me half dead tired. I couldn't sleep, and it wasn't his fault." ...Girl! Who has the patience to serve him like that? There are so many rooms in the east courtyard, are they all leaking? I don't believe it! Cui Lian is at home today, let her run over there to see if it's true."

Just as they were talking, Cui Lian happened to come in from the outside, and when she heard it, she approached Fu Yifu and said, "Respond to Grandma's words, it's true! In the morning, Master Hou ordered me to take Cheng'er and Ping'er over there. , helped Ruizhu Ruibao tidy up the study, the rain last night was moderate, but it kept falling, Wen Jinxuan was leaking everywhere, the basement of the study was waterlogged, the bedrooms were unusable, and there were a few empty rooms , all moved the books in, there were some books that were soaked, and they were opened one by one to dry... Crowded and crowded, it was hard to stand!"

"Where are the rooms where the servants live, are they leaking too?"

Cui Lian said: "I don't know anything else, Ruizhu Ruibao's room also had one or two leaks, and a porcelain basin was used to catch the rainwater in the ground."

Mei Niang's eyes widened, and she put the bowl on the table: "This is not the first rain in spring. When the weather is fine, they don't talk about it or fix it. What are they going to do at this time? Could it be possible, Master Hou wants Move to live with us?"

The girls looked at each other, and Cuixi said cautiously: "...Master Hou should also live in the upper room. Grandma can't say anything. It's not good for others to hear, but mother knows, so she should come and teach her a lesson!"

Cui Lian lowered her head and remained silent, Cui Si rolled her eyes: "Master Hou went to the ear room next door to have a look this morning, maybe the ear room will be needed!"

Mei Niang thought for a while, then picked up the bowl to eat porridge again: "The right side room is past, there are no people in the three rooms in a row, Cui Lian will take someone to clean it up, let him live first!"

Anyway, they can't live in the same room together, among other things, she doesn't want to be a free servant anymore.Last night, he was tossing enough, delivering tea and water, eating snacks in the middle of the night, and not needing maids to serve him, talking about military secrets, idlers are not allowed to come near.

She said: It seems that I am also an idler.Xu Junying answered her: I can guard against you, but I can't guard against others!
She was silent for a long time because of this sentence, and couldn't figure it out no matter how much she thought about it, and finally she simply stopped thinking about it.

Sitting by the side with a crochet sweater, she added hot water to the tea bowl at his request from time to time. In the middle of the night, she was so sleepy that she leaned on the edge of the table and just squinted her eyes when she was woken up again: "I'm hungry!" , is there anything to eat?"

She stood up in a daze, went to open the pineapple wood drawer specially for snacks and snacks, and gave him a plate of cloud cakes. He looked at it and said that this must be too sweet, so he took another one. Corn cakes, he said he didn’t like corn, and changed to green tea cakes, saying they were too soft, Meiniang felt terrified, and finally grabbed the salty, sweet and spicy orchid beans that Bao Lin Runan bought for her, and threw them in front of him: "This one is full of five flavors, hard and crispy, it should suit your taste!"

Xu Junying ate one and nodded: "It's very good, but it can't satisfy my hunger!"

Mei Niang was angry: "If you want to eat something that can satisfy your hunger, let Baoju go to the kitchen outside, there is everything there! I have to go to bed now, otherwise I won't be able to wake up tomorrow, and I will go to Ziyun Hall after a late hour, ladies and gentlemen They will talk about me in private, and they will not submit to my control!"

Xu Junying said: "Which servant dares to disobey the housewife? Even if you don't go for a few days, you only let Cuixi pass on the message, and the women can't say anything! Since you are sleepy, go to sleep, but get me the bed cotton first. I’m here, I’m almost finished reading it, and I’ll be resting on this couch in a while.”

Mei Niang is used to being a young mistress, she usually opens her mouth when she eats, and stretches out her hands when she needs clothes. Cui Xi Cui Lian takes care of all the internal affairs. There are several cabinets in the house, and she rarely touches them. She doesn't even know which cabinet the quilt is stored in. , ping-pong-pong rummaged around, opened almost all the doors of the cupboard, pulled out two quilts for a long time, hugged them to the couch and threw them down, without saying a word, walked into the inner room of the partition, lowered the curtains, Climbing into bed, pulling the quilt and falling asleep, Xu Junying didn't care about what happened outside, or when he turned off the lights and went to sleep, and didn't know.

After breakfast, I went to Ziyun Hall. The women in charge had been waiting for a long time. Meiniang quickly finished the daily affairs of the house, took Cuixi and Cuisi and hurried out, thinking that Bai Zhan went with Xu Junying. Walking out of the Hanging Flower Gate, Bai Zhan came to meet him, and bowed to Mei Niang to salute:
"The little one has prepared the chariots and horses, and is waiting for grandma's orders!"

Mei Niang glanced at Cui Si, and Cui Si glared at Bai Zhan: "Didn't you go out with Lord Hou? Why are you here again?"

Bai Zhan said: "Your Majesty has his own attendants to accompany me, I just sent it to the gate. Grandma is going out today, so I have to stay behind and drive the car!"

Mei Niang smiled: "Very well, you are indeed better at driving than Lin Amao. Hurry up, just like that day, and arrive at the Qin residence in the west of the city within a quarter of an hour. If you can't make it, you don't have to follow us tomorrow!"

Bai Zhan watched the three masters and servants walk in front of him, and he was stunned: the west of the city is not as good as the east of the city. There are many wealthy and high-ranking official houses in the east of the city, and there are many vacant private alleys. In the name of whichever road is going straight, just drill there, run wild at will, and naturally reach the destination quickly.The west of the city is a place where civilians live, densely populated, and the streets are a bit narrow. Cars and horses are often blocked in the streets, and they cannot move for a long time. Today is the market day, and it is noon at this time. It was too difficult to rush to the Qin residence!
Mei Niang didn't think so much, but she was upset that Xu Junying sent her eyes and ears to follow her, and hit Bai Zhan casually, and then it was over.Cui Si took it seriously, sitting in the car, urging from time to time:

"Bai Zhan, what are you doing? Is Grandma riding in a carriage or an old ox cart? Why hasn't she moved for a long time?"

"If Lin Amao was driving the car, we would have arrived by now!"

Looking at the crowds on the street, Bai Zhan felt anxious, but he didn't dare to refute Cuisi. He had suffered from her in the past, but he was still in the mansion. If he was outside, she would accidentally catch his tail. , and with the big grandmother behind her to support her, even if he had ten mouths, he couldn't fight her.

I had to answer carefully: "Sister Cuisi, please be patient. Today is the market day, and there are too many people coming to the market from outside the city. Look at this before and after. Cars like ours can only be moved slowly... You can’t bump into pedestrians, right? When you get out of this street and out of the intersection over there, it will be soon!”

Cui Si gave a light pooh towards the outside of the car curtain: "I will call my sister now, in the yard..."

Cuixi nudged her with her elbow, and Cuisi looked at Meiniang in embarrassment, but stopped talking.

Mei Niang said angrily: "This is strange, what can't I listen to? What did he do to you in the yard?"

Cuisi raised her eyebrows: "Grandma underestimated Cuisi, didn't she? What can I do to him? Ruibao won't let me pick osmanthus, and he got into an argument with me. He came to help Ruibao without asking why, and I scolded him and ran away." He, Baoju, and Ruizhu Ruibao are the ones who guard against us going to the house. When did he call our sister? They just shouted: Hey that girl!"

Meiniang burst into laughter: "There is such a thing? Then you will just call him: Hey that kid!"

Cui Si couldn't help laughing: "I just wanted to call him that!"

Cuixi hurriedly said: "Grandma is joking with you, you don't dare to say that! He and Baoju have been with the marquis since they were young, and have made military achievements in the battlefield. They have already been freed from slavery. They have fame and fame, so don't treat them lightly. People, it seems that we are ignorant!"

Cui Si snorted: "Have a reputation? No one is in the eyes, no distinction is made between right and wrong, it is useless to be an official and a noble!"

Cuixi said: "Why is Bai Zhan so arrogant? It's good for him to respect you as a big sister? It depends on whether you can bear it or not! He's older than you, capable and has a bright future. What do you have that deserves his respect?"

Cui Si lowered her eyes: "I didn't tell him to call him sister. He likes to call me sister, so I don't care!"

Cuixi was crying and laughing, pointing at her, before she could say anything, the carriage accelerated suddenly, she was caught off guard, a rollover fell against the wall of the carriage, Cuisi hurriedly helped her up, and looked at Mei who was sitting on the seat Mother, seeing that she only stretched out her hand to support the bun, and her body was not tilted, she turned her head and scolded at the car curtain: "Baizhan! Can you drive a car? If you want to fall down on grandma, let's see if you have any good fruit to eat!" !"

Bai Zhan was in a hurry to make amends: "Grandma please punish me! Just now there was a fast horse rushing from the side, if you don't dodge it urgently, I'm afraid you will run into it!"

Meiniang said to Cuisi: "No matter how he drives, tell him to hurry up, he will go to Cyclamen soon!"

Cuixi opened the curtains and looked out, and said, "Don't rush, we'll be there just around the corner of the street!"
Sure enough, while speaking, the carriage turned around and arrived at the gate of Qin's residence.

When I got out of the car, I saw the dilapidated and mottled wooden door of the Qin residence was open. Outside the door, there were many strong men standing under the stone steps. They were dressed in strong clothes and covered with long robes. When they came, Baizhan, Cuixi, and Cuisi followed, retreated one after another, made way, bowed to Mei Niang, and the two leaders said loudly:

"Welcome young lady!"

"The subordinates have seen the young lady!"

Mei Niang was stunned, looking at the figure swaying in the gate, guessing something in her heart, she turned her head to look at Bai Zhan, only to see that the place where Bai Zhan was standing just now was empty, and a tall brown-red horse tilted its head and kept going Rubbing against someone, it's not his fault!
