Chapter 1081 Visit (2)
?
When Lu Xiu got the news, she hurried to the upper court with her daughter-in-law Liu Juanjuan.
Liu Juanjuan said as she walked, "Mother, do you want to make a set of dishes for lunch?" The princess came here like this, they didn't prepare anything, and they didn't buy extra dishes.
Lu Xiu knew Yuxi quite well, and said: "The princess is probably here to see my mother." When it is confirmed that she will have dinner in the Han Mansion, it will not be too late to draw up the menu.
Liu Juanjuan nodded.
Yuxi asked Qiu about some things in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it was written in the letter, it must have been explained in detail in person.
Lu Xiu came into the room and saw Yuxi, and said: "Why didn't the princess come here and say in advance, you see I have no preparations, this is too rude."
Yuxi smiled and said: "If I tell you, it won't stir up the crowd. I just came to see my mother, and I will go back to the palace later."
Qiu Shi didn't complain about Yuxi being too busy as before, but now she deeply knows that Yuxi's status is strong, so the Han family can rest easy. Qiu Shi said: "You should also pay attention to your body, don't make it too tired. If your body is exhausted, it's not worth it. Zao Zao, they all rely on you!"
"Mother, don't worry, I will take care of my body." After finishing speaking, Yuxi stood up and said, "Mother, I will come to see you when I am free in a few days."
Qiu Shi was taken aback: "Are you leaving now?"
Yuxi nodded and said: "Now we are preparing for the enthronement ceremony, plus there are two places that need disaster relief, so there are many complicated things. You should go back after you have been out for so long, otherwise the prince may not be able to do it alone."
When it came to this point, Qiu Shi naturally wouldn't stop her: "Next time you miss me, I'll go to the palace to see you."
Yuxi told Qiu Shi a few more words: "Mother, if there is anything missing, just hand it over to the palace."
"I don't need anything. As long as you are safe and healthy, then I will be content." My sons and daughters are filial, and I am about to have a grandson again, so there is nothing to worry about.
Yu Xi exhorted again, and then went back to the palace. It’s really coming and going in a hurry.
After sending her away, Qiu said: "This child is really busy, he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to chat." Even though she knew that Yuxi was busy with important matters, she still felt that women shouldn't be so tired.
No one dared to accept this.
Zhong Minxiu changed the subject with a smile, and said, "Grandmother, the princess looks so young, and no one would suspect a twenty-year-old girl." There are many women who are good at taking care of themselves, but forty looks the same Like a big girl, this is the first time she has met.
Qiu said with a smile: "As long as you have a sweet mouth, why didn't you say that in front of her just now?"
Zhong Minxiu laughed and said: "The concubine is so majestic, I dare not be presumptuous in front of her!"
Qiu poked her on the forehead and scolded with a smile: "Then you dare to be presumptuous in front of me?" The words were full of pampering!
Liu Juanjuan also laughed and joked, "It's because my grandmother is kind, that's why my siblings dare to say anything in front of you."
Lu Xiu smiled and said nothing, and she knew in just one day that her mother-in-law was more and more careless now. Just eat fast and recite the Buddha's name, and have grandchildren.
After talking for a while, Qiu said: "You all go back! I'm tired, I need to rest." The old man's energy is limited, although there are many people, but she can't support her spirit after a long time.
Hearing this, everyone got up and left.
He Hua followed Zhong Minxiu back to the yard, entered the house and said excitedly: "Second Grandma, the princess is so easy-going, she doesn't put on airs at all. The rumors that the princess is very fierce are all lies."
Zhong Minxiu laughed and said: "The princess is here to see grandma, so it's easy to talk." If it's outside, let's see if the princess will be so easy-going.
He Hua smiled and said, "Second Grandma, you admire the princess the most, did you talk to her when you saw her today?" At that time, He Hua was waiting outside and did not enter the house.
"On such an occasion, where do I have the right to speak?" The princess didn't specifically call out her name, and it was very rude to speak rashly.
Zhong Minxiu had long heard that Yuxi was a man of good manners,
How can she do something that Yu Xi hates.
He Hua was not disappointed. In the future, her grandma would have the opportunity to meet the princess, but He Chou couldn't say anything: "Grandma, I heard that the princess is almost forty, but she really doesn't look like it."
Zhong Minxiu said with a smile: "The family is happy and well-maintained, and they pay attention to maintenance. They look naturally young." That's true, but Zhong Minxiu feels that if there is a chance in the future, she must ask Yuxi for advice.
Lotus said: "Not only young, but also very good-looking." This kind of good-looking does not mean being beautiful, but that it is special and unforgettable after seeing it.
A woman came in and said in a low voice, "Second Mistress, the eldest lady is back."
When Fu Tuan got the news, he immediately sent someone to call Mrs. Xiang back. As soon as Yuxi left, Mrs. Xiang arrived home.
After the mother-in-law went down, He Hua whispered, "Second Grandma, does the princess know that the eldest lady is not here?"
Zhong Minxiu smiled softly: "The princess didn't ask."
Lotus was a little disappointed; "It's such a pity, it would be great if the princess asked."
Zhong Minxiu was also a little puzzled: "The concubine didn't even ask a single question. This is quite strange." No matter what, Mrs. Xiang is the concubine's sister-in-law, so she had to ask no matter what in the mansion.
He Hua didn't think much about it, and said: "Perhaps what happened at the beginning made the princess still have a grudge, so I don't want to see her anymore."
Zhong Minxiu shook her head; "No, the concubine is not such a petty person." Even if she didn't like Xiang Shi because of what happened back then, she wouldn't make it so obvious.
He Hua heard this and said suddenly: "Second Grandma, do you think the princess knows that the eldest lady has left the house?"
Zhong Minxiu also reacted quickly, nodded and said: "Considering the time, it is indeed possible."
After finishing speaking, Zhong Minxiu laughed: "Mother-in-law is out of luck." The two must have never met, or Xiang would definitely come back. When she walks on the front foot, the princess will arrive on the back foot. Now the princess is gone, and she is back. This luck is gone.
When Mrs. Xiang arrived at the upper courtyard, Mrs. Qiu had already lay down, so she had to go back to the main courtyard.
Mrs. Xiang looked for Lu Xiu, and asked with an ugly face: "The princess is coming to the mansion today, why didn't you tell me about this in advance?" If she knew that the princess would come to the Han mansion, she would definitely not go out.
Lu Xiu is not a soft persimmon, but she doesn't want to quarrel with Mrs. Xiang. Although she is said to be a sister-in-law, she can be Xiang's mother at her age, and she is the one who is ashamed to quarrel with Xiang: "Did sister-in-law think that I deliberately didn't tell you about this?"
Xiang Shi was also anxious and angry, and he spoke without restraint. Now that I heard Lu Xiu's unkind words, I immediately came to my senses: "Sister and sister, don't be angry, I was a little anxious just now, it's not that you deliberately concealed it from me."
When Lu Xiu heard this, her expression softened a little. Although she doesn't like Xiang Shi, she doesn't want to get into trouble with Xiang Shi either. In this way, the reputation is also ugly: "I also got the news after the princess entered the mansion. Sister-in-law, the princess said that she just missed her mother, so she came to visit her mother."
"Then why did you leave so soon?" Since I came to visit my mother-in-law on purpose, why did I have to finish my lunch before leaving.
Lu Xiu smiled and said: "My concubine has a lot of things to do every day, it's very rare to be able to take time to visit my mother, how can I have time to stay for lunch." Instead of looking for her mother-in-law to enter the palace, she came out to visit by herself. decent.
Xiang was in a bad mood, and soon returned to the main courtyard. As soon as he entered the room, the futon asked, "Ma'am, what does Second Madam say?"
"She said she didn't know about it beforehand." She believed it. Because I got the news in advance, there must be some arrangements, but this morning, the whole mansion was silent, and there was no movement at all.
After a pause, Mrs. Xiang said: "Second Madam said that the princess came to see my mother specially, and she wouldn't blame me if I wasn't here."
Fu Tuan comforted Mrs. Xiang and said: "I will definitely not blame you. The princess came here without saying hello, Madam, you don't know. If you blame it, it would be too unreasonable."
Mrs. Xiang hummed, sat on the chair and said: "The Han family is the head of the big house, and the housekeeper should also belong to the big house."
"I'm afraid that the second wife is unwilling to hand over the power of housekeeping." Taking charge of Zhongfu is tantamount to controlling the backyard. In this way, it is very convenient to act. In addition, using the convenience of the housekeeper can also get some oil and water from it.
Xiang frowned and said, "We have to find a good way to let the second wife take the initiative to hand over the housekeeping power."
Without Xiang's thinking of a way, Lu Xiu wanted to hand over the housekeeping power. After dinner that day, Lu Xiu mentioned this matter in front of everyone in the room: "Mother, you see that my sister-in-law is back, so I'd better hand over the general affairs to my sister-in-law! Mother, you also let me relax It's day."
Hearing this, Xiang was a little stunned, she didn't expect that Lu Xiu would take the initiative to hand over the housekeeping power.
Xiang's is to judge others by himself. Lu Xiu didn't want to take care of the affairs of the Han family for a long time, and it was really thankless. Of course, the most important thing is that Han Jianye himself is also a general from the second rank, and they can live well without relying on the big house.
Qiu shook her head and said, "Your sister-in-law doesn't have so much energy to take care of brother Ye. You are still in charge of this general affairs. If you feel tired, let Juanjuan help you more!"
Xiang's black face is the bottom of the pot, how can she have no time and energy when her children are so old. After thinking for a while, Mrs. Xiang was unwilling to reconcile, and said, "Mother, brother Ye is growing up, and there is a nanny to help take care of it. It's okay for me to help my younger siblings with housekeeping."
Liu Juanjuan knew that Lu Xiu really didn't want to be a housekeeper, so she immediately smiled and said, "Grandmother, am I going to pick up my niece to stay here for a few days? During this time, I'm afraid I don't have time to help my mother manage the household affairs together."
Qiu hesitated for a while, then nodded and agreed: "In that case, then Ye'er, his mother, you can help manage the general affairs."
Xiang's attitude is also low: "Sister and sister, I am young and I don't understand many things. If there is something incomplete, I hope my younger brother and sister can give me some pointers." Since Zhong Minxiu became the housekeeper, Xiang has realized that he has many shortcomings. .
She will try her best to teach her daughter-in-law, but Mrs. Xiang is not a daughter-in-law but a sister-in-law. Furthermore, Xiang's behavior has already made her very happy.
Lu Xiupi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is too polite. When I was in Haocheng, I heard that sister-in-law is very capable, and she takes care of the inside and outside of the Governor's Mansion properly. I'm afraid it's not enough for sister-in-law." She was unwilling to be a housekeeper, but she didn't let her be manipulated. While suspecting that he was pocketing his own money, he also wanted to teach her how to manage the feeder. How could there be such a cheap thing in this world!
Before Qiu Shi came back, everyone in the Duke's Mansion looked at her face and acted accordingly. What Xiang Shi said to the maid in the room was overheard by people outside. Naturally, these words soon reached Lu Xiu's ears.
Xiang was so choked that he couldn't speak.
When Yuxi returned to the palace, she didn't go to the imperial study immediately, but went back to the bedroom first.
After a while, Yunqing came over: "What's wrong? You look so exhausted?"
"I walked around the Duke's Mansion for half a circle, and nothing changed." A small number of places have changed, but the general pattern has not changed.
Yun Qing sat down and asked, "How is mother-in-law? Is it okay?" Yun Qing still respects Qiu Shi very much.
"He's still in good health, but he looks a lot older than before." To say that Qiu's not old is a consolation. Older people, no matter how comfortable their lives are, are not as good as they are year after year.
Yun Qing said: "After I've been busy for a while, I'll accompany you to visit her old man."
Yuxi nodded, and said: "He Rui, after a while, we will take Zao Zao and the others to visit my biological mother's grave. Do you think it's okay?"
Yun Qing was stunned for three seconds, then nodded and said: "It should be." If it weren't for the busyness of the past few days, he thought that he would take the children to visit Ning's grave in these two days.
After a pause, Yunqing asked: "Yuxi, do you know what kind of person your mother is?" He had never heard Yuxi mention the Ning family, so he was in a daze just now.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "I don't know. She passed away within two months of my birth. In these years, few people mentioned her to me." Qiu's time with Ning's was also very short, and she didn't know her well . And Mother Fang was afraid that mentioning Ning's would make Yuxi sad, so she seldom talked about Ning's.
Yun Qing said with a distressed face: "I'm sorry for you."
The hardest and most difficult days are over. Yu Xi asked with a smile: "What kind of person is the mother-in-law?"
Yun Qing thought for a while and said: "My mother is a hot-tempered person. But my father has a good temper, and their husband and wife are also affectionate."
Yuxi waited for a long time, but she didn't see Yun Qing continue: "After the accident between father-in-law and mother-in-law, you must be in great pain, right?" She has never been with Ning Shi, so she doesn't feel sad when she mentions Ning Shi, but Yun Qing doesn't care. Same.
Those days were the darkest in Yunqing's life. Before, Yunqing never mentioned it. Now after so many years, with the happiness of the family, I have gradually come out of the pain: "The most painful thing is knowing that my grandfather passed away, but I couldn't even take the last journey. At that time, I really wanted to die. But grandpa wants me to live well, so I can't die." Before the age of ten, he lived a carefree life, and the only worry was that he couldn't finish the homework assigned by his teacher. After the age of ten, he lived on hatred.
Yuxi held Yunqing's hand and said: "Don't think about it, it's all over. I think grandpa, father-in-law and mother-in-law will be very pleased to see you like this."
Yun Qing said with a smile: "If grandpa knew that I married such a capable and beautiful wife, and gave birth to him so many great-grandchildren, he would definitely be laughing from ear to ear."
