Chapter 33
"It's getting late, why are you still standing outside, girl? Why don't you go in and have a rest!"
Yan's mother walked up to Ge Baoer and blocked her view of Lu Zhengliu.
Ge Baoer bit his lip, turned around and went in, the veil still floating on his face.
Yan's mother came to Lu Zhengliu again and said with a smile: "Old Madam is going to rest too, so the prince doesn't need to go in to say hello."
Lu Zhengliu nodded, frowned slightly and left.
He was the one who chased Ge Baoer back to the mansion, but... But Lin Yunwan was the mistress of Wudinghou Mansion. Since she was the mistress of Wudinghou Mansion, he had to respect her for a day. It didn't matter what they said between them.
After I figured it out, I didn’t feel like I had gone too far.
Mrs. Lu asked Yan's mother to scold Ge Baoer again that night.
She still felt that it was not enough, but she didn't know what else to do with her. After all, she was Brother Qing's biological mother. No matter how clumsy Lu Zhengliu was, he was still reluctant to say that he would kick her out.
"How can a man be so affectionate? Wait a little longer, and Zhengliu will come to me sooner or later to send her out."
Yan's mother held the porcelain cup for mouthwash and said, "I think this is also the case."
Within a few days, something happy happened to her.
Lin Yunwan took the initiative to come over and mention to her: "It has been a long time since the prince returned to the house, and two more children have been adopted in the house. There will inevitably be some rumors outside. I thought... it would be better to choose two concubines for the prince. When the concubine is born, the rumors will disappear. That’s it. It’s going to be lively now that there’s a new person in the house.”
Mrs. Lu was very moved. She took Lin Yunwan's hand and asked, "Are you really willing?"
"It's all for the Lu family, there's nothing you can't do."
Lin Yunwan took out her hand.
Mrs. Lu seemed a little guilty. After thinking for a moment, she agreed with Lin Yunwan's idea.
"It's time to add more people to the mansion."
She also advised her sincerely: "Zhengliu is just a soft-spoken person. Don't just care about the newlyweds' affairs. You should also pay attention to your own affairs. Grandma, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. No child born by you is as good as your own." ,dont you agree?"
Yan's mother also came over to persuade: "This is exactly the reason. The prince refuses to go to grandma's yard, so grandma should find a way to invite the prince. The old slave knows that grandma is thin-skinned, but between husband and wife, it doesn't matter if the rules are occasionally violated. "
Mrs. Lu nodded accordingly.
Lin Yunwan lowered her head and said, "I understand." She seemed to have listened.
Mrs. Lu was very satisfied after seeing it.
Lin Yunwan took the opportunity and said: "Old madam, I want to go to Zhuangzi to choose the two concubines myself, and also select some younger maids to enrich the manpower in the house."
"Zhuangzi picks you up?"
Lin Yunwan nodded and said that she actually already had a suitable candidate.
Although Mrs. Lu was surprised, she still agreed.
Lin Yunwan also said: "The two young masters have not been to the Zhuangzi of the Hou Mansion yet. I would like to take the two brothers to the Zhuangzi with me to see the Lu family's property. What do you think, old lady?"
This is actually how it should be.
But Mrs. Lu thought about Brother Qing's character and was afraid that the more he knew, the greater his ambition would be.
She said: "You should take Chang Gong to Zhuangzi for a walk. Brother Qing should not go there. Mr. Zhang sees that he is very careful. It would be inappropriate to ask for leave every three days."
"yes."
Lin Yunwan returned to Chuisi Hall, smiled slightly, and ordered people to pack their things and set off the day after tomorrow.
On the day of departure, the servants in the front yard and the mothers in charge of the backyard all started to move, and there was a lot of movement.
Brother Qing saw Lu Changgong packing his bags and rushed over to ask, "Where are you going?"
Lu Changgong said coldly: "Go to Zhuangzi."
Let the boy take the baggage and go away.
Brother Qing looked envious. When he turned his head, he saw that Mr. Zhang was already heading to the side study. He had to carry a small school bag to go to class - the teacher did not allow the servants to serve him. He had to carry the school bag. do it yourself.
"There are two villages in the Wuding Marquis Mansion. The one we went to today is just outside Beijing. It only takes half a day."
In the carriage, Lin Yunwan and Lu Changgong were riding together, along with the steward's mother and two maids.
Lu Changgong glanced outside, and Yuan's mother quickly reminded him: "Young Master, Madam's face cannot be exposed casually."
He hurriedly put down the curtain, ready to admit his mistake.
Lin Yunwan smiled and told him: "If you are curious about the outside world, you can watch it by yourself when you are older and learn to ride a horse."
"horse riding?"
Lu Changgong didn't dare to think about it. He said, "A horse is so tall."
Lin Yunwan touched his head and said, "You will grow taller than a horse in the future."
Lu Changgong blinked: "Really?"
His eyes finally looked a little childish.
Lin Yunwan smiled and said he would definitely do it.
When we arrived at the village of Marquis Wuding, the people in the mansion settled in another courtyard. The steward of the village came with people to say hello, and also arranged for the wives of the village to help serve on the stove.
The two girls, Ping Ye and Tao Ye, were young and could not suppress the wives of Zhuangtou and Zhuangzi.
Mother Yuan came forward to negotiate with Zhuangtou: "You don't need your people to serve you. Go and call all the young wives and girls from Zhuangzi. Madam will choose a few to take back to the house as errands. There is also a girl named Zhuqing. She came from the mansion years ago, and Madam wants to meet her."
Zhuangtou remembered such a person and immediately said: "The villain will go now."
Within half an hour, a large group of people stood outside the courtyard. Although they were all simply dressed tenant farmer women, they were still clean, decent, and in good spirits. Only the woman standing at the edge looked normal. She is somewhat pretty, but her face is ashen.
Ping Ye pointed at her and whispered to Lin Yunwan, "Madam, this seems to be Zhu Qing."
Lin Yunwan glanced outside and told Pingye: "Let her come in."
Pingye walked out, stood on the steps, and said condescendingly: "Miss Zhuqing, why don't you come in and say hello to Madam?"
Zhuqing came back to her senses, walked up the steps slowly, knelt at the door far away, not daring to enter the house, and timidly said hello: "I've met Madam."
Lin Yunwan frowned: "How did you become like this?"
When Zhu Qing raised her head, she burst into tears and said, "Madam, I am wrong, I am wrong. Madam, please save me."
"Get up first."
Pingye helped Zhuqing, and Taoye moved a stool for her near Lin Yunwan.
"Wipe her face."
Pingye washed a clean handkerchief and washed Zhuqing's face.
Zhuqing whispered "Thank you" and briefly talked about her life on Zhuangzi in the past few years: "After I was sent here as a slave, I worked hard on Zhuangzi. The life was hard, so I looked... embarrassed. It’s a little too much. Madam, please forgive me.”
It's more than just embarrassing.
Pingye slandered, just like being pulled out of a pile of dead people.
Lin Yunwan asked her: "Are you married?"
Zhu Qing shook her head hurriedly, "No, no. I don't want to get married!"
Lin Yunwan nodded and said, "It's fine if you're not married. Then are you still willing to go back to the house and serve me?"
Zhuqing suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Madam, I am willing. I am willing to work as an ox or a horse for you. Please help me, please help me get out! Please, madam!"
