Chapter 1246 Ruined
Xia Zihan took two steps and thought of the Chu family and Xia family again. She added, "Order some more dishes for the Chu family and Xia family and ask the waiter to deliver them, and then give the master a pot of thirty years." The bamboo leaves are green.”
"Master, I heard that the bamboo leaf green you gave to me during the last Dragon Boat Festival was hidden in the wine cabinet and I was reluctant to drink it. As a result, the young master stole it and drank it. After drinking it, he took advantage of me that he was not around and took it to the study room in the front yard. One of the maids in the house was ruined, and the angry master gave her a severe beating. Later, it was the wife who made the decision and rewarded the maid to the eldest young master as his maid. "
Although the maid's status is low, she is still a human being. Since he has ruined her innocence, Mrs. Xia Er, as the mother of the family, has to come forward and give her an explanation.
If this happened in other people's homes, maybe the head wife would put the blame on the maid, saying that the maid seduced the young master, then beat the maid, and then sold her away. But in the Xia family, these servants It was all because Mrs. Xia Er personally went to Renyazi after the family was separated. Those bought there were carefully cultivated, especially the sweeping maid. Mrs. Xia Er saw that she was honest, honest and hard-working, so she was specially sent to clean Xia Shiming's study. It was good, but she was disappointed. Xia Zijiang was ruined.
Mrs. Xia Er was also furious. Xia Zijiang bullied her, but she couldn't beat, scold or train her. She had to give the maid she had cultivated with great difficulty to Xia Zijiang to warm his bed.
Who calls her the stepmother?
If she just curses casually and spreads it, she will immediately become a vicious woman.
"Master, why don't you just forget about the wine? Please order some more snacks and let the waiter from Juxiang Tower deliver them to you. I heard that the master likes to eat the snacks so I kept them." Chu Qing said with a wink.
Xia Zihan really didn't know about the wine, no one told her.
When she learned that the wine she sent had an accident because Xia Zijiang secretly drank it, and of course she couldn't send any more wine this time, she hummed and asked Chu Qing to order two more dishes to send over.
After Xia Zihan gave orders to Chu Qing, he hurried to find Zhuo.
On a hot day, the greenhouse built by Prince Anjun is surrounded by glazed bricks and has glazed tiles on the top. If it is winter, it can block the wind, keep warm, and can still see the surrounding scenery. Both Zhuo and Xia Zihan like to nest in the greenhouse. Doing needlework on the hot kang in the small flower hall.
But in summer, the greenhouse became as hot as a furnace, and Zhuo didn't like to go there. She stayed in her room all day, lazily.
When she heard that the maid came to report that her daughter-in-law was here, Mrs. Zhuo felt a little more energetic and said, "Ayu is here, come in quickly."
"Mother."
Xia Zihan walked in, took off her gauze hat, and threw it to the maid next to her. Just as she was about to get married, Mrs. Zhuo pulled her over and sat down. "We are just the two of you, no need to be polite." Then he asked, "So The hot weather is coming, is something wrong?”
"Yes, there is a big happy event." Xia Zihan said with a smile, took out Chu Jingqi's letter from his arms and handed it to Zhuo to read. "Aqi sent a letter, saying that he has recaptured Shengjin City."
"Oh, this is such a happy event." Zhuo suddenly became energetic and opened the letter and read it.
In fact, Fei Ge's message was just two rows of words, with no more than twenty characters in total, but it also gave a general idea.
Mrs. Zhuo only glanced at it and said happily, "Have you sent someone to tell your father? He must know about such a big happy event as soon as possible."
"Not yet. After receiving the letter, I will come to my mother." Xia Zihan said. During the day, Chu Xuanyu and Mr. Chu and his son would basically teach their two precious grandsons martial arts in the front yard. In the evening, Chu Xuanyu would bring his two little grandsons into the inner courtyard.
Therefore, in the past few months, Xia Zihan's time with her two sons has been gradually decreasing. In the past two months, she can basically see her sons only when greeting them in the morning and having dinner in the evening.
Although she was a little disappointed and lonely, she also knew that the Chu family was a family of Wuhou. Only by practicing martial arts and leading the Chu family army well could the Chu family army be passed down from generation to generation.
Mrs. Zhuo called her maid and asked her to inform Chu Xuanyu of the good news. Then she agreed with Xia Zihan and subconsciously wanted to inform the cook to add more dishes in the evening.
Xia Zihan pursed her lips and said happily, "Mom, there's no need to add more food. I've asked Chu Qing to order food at Juxianglou, and it will be delivered in the evening."
"Yes, yes, you are more considerate. You are tired of eating food from your own kitchen all day long, and you need to change your appetite occasionally."
Mrs. Zhuo felt that her daughter-in-law was very considerate, so she held her hand and kept talking about Chu Jingqi, "There are only a few words in the letter. I don't know if the brat is injured, whether he is thin, or not." I know if he is eating well. Hey, my mother is worried about her son traveling thousands of miles away. My heart is just thinking about these three sons all day long, and each one is more troublesome than the other. "
Zhuo's three sons are all outside. They open their eyes every day and sigh. Fortunately, Chu Xuanyu will persuade her and make her think more openly. Otherwise, she will have to think about death.
"The handwriting on this letter is strong and strong. It doesn't look like it was written by someone who was injured." Xia Zihan took the letter and showed it to Mr. Zhuo carefully. Ms. Zhuo looked at it and said, "It's true. Hey, you are still careful." , I am getting older and my eyes are getting weaker.”
"Mom is not old. When we go to the street, people will definitely say that we are sisters, and they will never tell that we are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Look, your hands are whiter than mine."
Xia Zihan stretched out his hand, revealing a small section of his arm and placing it with Zhuo's.
There is an age difference of more than twenty years between the two, but the skin on their arms is the same. Zhuo has good skin, truly white and flawless, as smooth as cream, and soft and tender. No wonder Chu Xuanyu dotes on her like a baby. , attach great importance to it.
Just this ageless skin like a girl's is enough to make Chu Xuanyu fall in love with her.
Zhuo's face was filled with pride, but she said sheepishly, "I'm still old when I'm old, but my skin is not as good as yours." She quickly pulled down her sleeves to cover her skin.
Knowing that she was embarrassed, Xia Zihan stopped teasing her and said seriously, "I also ordered food to be sent to Chu Mansion and Xia Mansion. The weather is really hot this year. A few days ago, I heard Qinghui say that my grandmother had a bad appetite. Okay, she didn’t eat much. My master checked her pulse and just said that maybe it was too hot and she didn’t like to eat.”
He said with a worried look on his face.
Zhuo said, "The sour plum soup made in the kitchen yesterday was iced. It is cool in the mouth and tastes good. I will ask the kitchen to make more and send a can to Chu Mansion."
Xia Zihan also thought of the delicious sour plum soup yesterday, but, "Grandma is old and can't eat cold food. Otherwise, don't use ice, just send it like that. Qinghui and Dalang brothers want to eat iced." Yes, let them go on their own.”
