Foster son and husband

Chapter 92 Spring
Mei Niang is busy every day, she doesn’t sleep late and goes out early to see her son, then goes to Ziyun Hall, listens to the mother-in-law’s reply, and handles affairs. After that, Mama Wang was afraid that she would be hungry, so she sent the meal to Ziyun Hall to eat. After the meal, she often went to the big garden and various courtyards to personally inspect some gardens that needed repairs or were being repaired. , What if there is a housekeeper in charge of things, the old lady ordered, the housekeeper must pay attention, don't be lazy, move around frequently, look around, and take a walk.Take a walk, just take a walk, walk in a small area in the waiting mansion, and sometimes look at the right time, and go directly outside the mansion.

Busy to and fro, the days go by so fast, she breathes the breath of spring every day, but she doesn't realize that Tsinghua University has quietly put on spring clothes, and one day suddenly finds two sprouting green branches by the pool, like two graceful figures When the young girl stood by the water, she was quite surprised, and said loudly to Trientes who was following her:
"My God! There are two willow trees here!"

Cuisi was overjoyed: "Grandma, the two willow trees have always been there!"

Cui Lian said with a smile: "Grandma spends here every day, didn't pay attention to it, probably took them for wooden stakes!"

Mei Niang smiled: "Isn't it? If you don't pay attention to it, you don't pay attention to it. I didn't expect it to grow branches overnight. It's really beautiful and amazing!"

Pointing to the vines on the other side of the pool that climbed to the roof and opened the whole wall of roses, he said: "Those flowers are just blooming, right? I haven't seen them a while ago. Roses should bloom in four seasons, maybe in the year It was hurt by several heavy snowfalls before, and it is only now blooming. The roses on this side have just opened buds, and the roses on the other side are in full bloom. The two aunts really know how to take care of them, but they are also very honest, and they never go out. What are you doing stuck in the room all day? Let's pick some flowers and have fun, and take a look at them!"

Cui Lian said: "Grandma is here again! This is not good, how can grandma go to see my aunt? They should come to see grandma!"

"What's the matter? Let's go, let's go, it's not like I haven't seen it, my grandma is just..."

She stopped in time, sighed and said: "Forget it, the good thing is someone else's, and it will break after a long time after being forced, let's look at our rosebuds!"

Cui Si nodded: "Yes! How can roses be better than roses? The fragrance is not too fragrant!"

"You don't understand this. In fact, roses are very good. They are beautiful but not ostentatious. They are fragrant and elegant. Roses are a bit too delicate..."

Cuisi was puzzled: "Grandma, you used to love roses the most, but now you say it's not good!"

Mei Niang smiled and said: "I love you now too, who dares to say that Rose is bad? You silly girl!"

There were three women on the same street, and the master and servant stood by the pool pointing, talking and laughing, completely paying no attention to Xu Junying and Baoju behind them.

Before Xu Junying walked out of the east courtyard, she heard Mei Niang's exclamation. Baoju behind her couldn't help laughing. Xu Junying lowered her eyes and kept silent: What is she thinking every day?Taking care of housework, reading too many boring account books, people become stupid?But those eyes are still dazzling, and the clever mouth still makes the old lady laugh and makes the younger brothers and sisters happy, but they rarely pay attention to him. Now when eating in the old lady's room, it is Zhuang Yulan who is serving him, Zheng When Meiyu came to Tsinghua University, she was not even allowed to enter the room, and sent her directly to the east courtyard. He had no reason to go to the room, and felt that she should not go, and couldn't help but wonder what she was doing, so that Zheng Meiyu could not come. Too dense, the small side door of the east courtyard is locked, he enters and exits through the main entrance here every day, and in so many days, he only met her once in the courtyard, as if she suddenly discovered the existence of those two willow trees, she looked at him in surprise. Said: "Will Lord Hou go this way today? It's a long detour!"

After finishing speaking, he saluted, made a confession, and hurried out to the fourth courtyard to check the partition wall that needed to be rebuilt.

He felt a sense of loss and sadness that he had never felt before, but he forcefully suppressed that bad emotion.

At any rate, he is a little hearing, Xu Junying watched Mei Niang turn her head, her shining eyes were clear, she smiled and said to him:

"Good luck, Lord Hou! Isn't Master Hou going to court today?"

Xu Junying said: "I rest, today and tomorrow."

"Oh!"

Mei Niang responded, but there was no more to say, what did you say?Could it be to ask him: Master Hou has two days of rest, what activities are there?

That's too much gossip!
But he has been resting for two days, which means that he may appear in this yard at any time today and tomorrow, what if he wants to ask himself something?I still want to go out tomorrow to ask Lu Xiangfeng some things, mainly about Lin Runan's news, counting the itinerary, from Lingnan to the capital, it will take more than a month, so it's time to arrive, right?
But when Xu Junying handed over the same red paper, Meiniang yelled no, it's another invitation!The goddamn flower banquet is going on non-stop, she has participated in three or four in a row, it's so boring!

"This is a post from Mrs. Chang Le Hou, I will go there at the time of tomorrow - the peonies in her house are blooming!" Xu Junying said.

Mei Niang slowly took the post, and lightly pursed her lower lips: Mrs. Changlehou, she is quite an interesting woman, so it is not easy to refuse...

She raised her head and looked at Xu Junying: "Will Master Hou go too?"

Xu Junying nodded slightly: "Chang Lehou and I took a bath at the same time, he made a special trip to say that he will go too!"

Mei Niang's eyes lit up: "Master Hou is going, so I won't go, right? I... have some things to do in the mansion!"

Coaxed Xu Junying to go out, she can do whatever she wants behind the scenes.

Before Xu Junying answered, there were two charming smiles from the door: "What are you talking about? Where are you not going?"

The two turned their heads at the same time and saw Zheng Meiyu coming slowly with Zhuang Yulan on her arm, followed by three or four women and maids.

Zheng Meiyu saluted Xu Junying: "Blessed cousin!"

What Zhuang Yulan said was: "Master Hou is well!"

Xu Junying looked at them: "Why don't you two accompany the old lady, come here when you have time!"

Zhuang Yulan kept silent, Xu Junying didn't have dinner at Jinhuatang for two days, and went there before dawn every day, and asked Mother Ji to pass her greetings to the old lady, but she couldn't see him and was upset. She said that Lord Hou only went to Mei Niang's side these days, and she was even more depressed, and couldn't bear Zheng Meiyu's prodding, so she sneaked out with Zheng Meiyu while the old lady was dozing off.

Did the old lady tell her that it is not easy to come to see her cousin before she gets married, and that the cousin always comes to Jinhuatang, and it is not easy to talk to him if she wants to see him?But my cousin has been absent-minded recently. It would be better if Meiniang came to Jinhua Hall together. If Meiniang didn’t come, his smile would disappear. Meiniang lost her affection and lived apart from time to time, why did he act like this?Does he still have Mei Niang in his heart?Zheng Meiyu, that damned girl, teased her that day, she wanted to talk, she coaxed for a long time, but couldn't coax a word, Zheng Meiyu just said: Sister Lan knows my heart, I am willing to serve Master Hou, serve Sister Lan Well, it's not time to talk about it yet, when Sister Lan gets married, remember her, and bring her in. At that time, she will tell Sister Lan everything, and show Sister Lan a heart!

It's strange that Zheng Meiyu is willing to cut her heart, what's the big secret?It's nothing more than making up an excuse to coax myself, first give her a title, hum!When who is a fool?If you want to serve the Lord with me, go ahead and dream!
Zhuang Yulan hated Zheng Meiyu in her heart, but she kept her expression on her face. Before she married Master Hou, she would not do anything.She is a lady from all over the world, a well-known Shuyuan, who knows how to maintain her good reputation. She can only do it after she gets married and becomes the head of the house. Take your time and clean them up one by one. In Tsinghua University, there will only be one mistress!

Zheng Meiyu was clever and said with a smile: "Sister Lan heard that the roses are blooming in Tsinghua University, so I want to come and have a look!"

Mei Niang looked at her and said bluntly: "The roses in Tsinghua University only form buds and never bloom. You can't see them! Here, there are roses in Auntie's yard over there, and they bloom just right. I want to see them." Let's go!"

Zheng Meiyu did not show any weakness, met Mei Niang's gaze, and said: "Sister Lan only enters the upper room, but Auntie's room is not where she wants to go!"

Mei Niang smiled: "How do I know if Cousin Lan wants to go to my aunt's room? I just invite her to enjoy the flowers in my aunt's courtyard. As for Cousin Yu, I have to stay here, and I can't even go to my aunt's courtyard—Ruyi and I Having said that, the candied fruit sent by Cousin Yu is extremely bitter, and she is resenting you in her heart, and she is scolding when she goes there!"

Zheng Meiyu changed her face: "Biao sister-in-law!"

Mei Niang said: "Come on slowly! Cousin, I let someone take you into the mansion until today, and I finally heard you call cousin sister-in-law. It's not easy! When you come back in a year, you will only recognize cousin and stop calling cousin sister-in-law." Alas! Tired, I’ve been busy for a long time, I’m exhausted, I want to take a break, please take care of yourself!”

Zheng Meiyu bit her lip, Zhuang Yulan felt aggrieved and approached Xu Junying with some fear: "Cousin, what happened to cousin sister-in-law today? We just want to see the flowers!"

Xu Junying called to Mei Niang: "You said just now that roses only form buds and never bloom. What do you mean? Since the flowers are planted for viewing, why not let them see them?"

Zhuang Yulan's eyes flashed with joy, a slight smile appeared on the corners of her lips, she peeked at Zheng Meiyu, Zheng Meiyu nodded knowingly, and also smiled.

Mei Niang said lazily: "If you want to see it, go and see it... Forgive me, Lord Hou, my feet hurt, let's go in first!"

Cui Lian helped Mei Niang to leave, Cui Si blessed Xu Junying, and said: "Return to Master Hou: the roses on the rockery are really not blooming, they just opened buds. Grandma planted roses to dry For tea and medicine, all the buds will be cut off before the sun rises tomorrow. Therefore, the roses in Tsinghua University, "only buds, never bloom"! Miss Yubiao, didn't you know this a long time ago? ?”

Zhuang Yulan and Zheng Meiyu were stunned, Zheng Meiyu turned to Xu Junying's right hand, gently shook his arm, and said coquettishly: "Cousin, look at this girl!"

Xu Junying withdrew his hand: "In this case, you can just look at the roses. Not only Tsinghua University has roses, but don't other courtyards have them?"

Zhuang Yulan said softly: "It doesn't matter. Since it is used as medicine, let's go to see it elsewhere. Cousin Yu, I heard that the third grandma's famous orchids are in full bloom tomorrow. Let's ask my cousin to take us to see it together, okay? "

Zheng Meiyu happily replied: "Okay, my cousin will take us to see orchids tomorrow!"

Xu Junying said: "I don't have time tomorrow. The peonies are in full bloom at my colleague's house. There is a flower party. I posted a post. I have to go to meet the scene!"

Zheng Meiyu tentatively asked: "Please invite the female relatives? Cousin, why don't you take Sister Lan with you!"

Zhuang Yulan clasped her hands tightly in her sleeves, thinking that if Xu Junying agreed, she would reciprocate and bring Zheng Meiyu to accompany her. In this way, the two cousins ​​accompanied her, and no one else had anything to say.

Xu Junying looked at Zheng Meiyu, then looked at the upper room, and said flatly: "Mrs. Changle Hou has invited Mei Niang, she will go with me!"

Zhuang Yulan's nails dug into the flesh, and the pain was excruciating.
