Chapter 218
In the spring room.
Si Zhu ordered the kitchen to make blood swallow porridge for Yingchun. At noon, Mu Xiang brought it up in person. "Madam," Si Zhu said with a smile, "eat it quickly. This is selected by our old lady."
Yingchun got up from the couch and frowned, "Si Zhu, look at you these days. You have been on the mountain and Shanghai flavor. You want me to eat so many things a day, can you raise pigs?"
"Madam, look at what you said." Si Zhu suppressed his smile and whispered.
"Don't look guilty. I don't know what you think. Do you want to say bad things?"
"How dare the maidservant?" Si Zhu immediately defended.
Yingchun waved his hand, "Well, you go and bring the porridge, and I'll eat it here. I'm too lazy to go down."
Si Zhu brought porridge and looked at the exquisite small bowl. Suddenly, he thought of the old lady and the future of Jia's house. Yingchun's hand with a spoon had not fallen for a long time.
"Madam, are you afraid of being hot? Otherwise, I will blow it to you." Si Zhu mistakenly thought that Yingchun was worried about porridge.
Yingchun put the small spoon gently by the edge of the bowl, "Si Zhu, I'm inconvenient now, but I miss the old lady. You can send a letter to the old lady in a moment."
Si Zhu hesitated, "Go in person?" Si Zhu was shocked. What kind of secret thing made his wife so uneasy that she had to go in person?
Yingchun nodded, "Yes, you go in person and be sure to hand over the letter to the old lady, even if you give it to mandarin ducks and amber, do you understand?"
Si Zhu agreed.
In Jia's house.
As soon as Jia's mother had a rest, the mandarin duck said back and forth, "Old lady, Si Zhu from the second aunt came and brought a letter to the old lady. I said to hand it over to me, but Sizhu didn't agree to anything and had to hand it over to you. She said it was the meaning of the second aunt.
"What does it mean to welcome the girl?" The old lady put down the teacup and said, "Go and call Sizhu in, and beat out the little girl in the room."
"Yes." The mandarin duck promised to retreat.
Si Zhu was brought in. She saluted the old lady first. Jia's mother ordered her to get up and reply. Si Zhu stood up, took out the letter in his arms and handed it to the mandarin duck on one side.
Jia's mother took the letter and unfolded it to look carefully at the content of the letter with a magnifying glass. After a while, Jia's mother put down the magnifying glass and smiled at Si Zhuwei, "If you go back and tell the girl, just say that I understand her heart and let her live well."
Si Zhu just retreated.
Jia's mother handed the letter to the mandarin duck, "Go, take this and burn it."
"Burned?" The mandarin duck was a little surprised, but she didn't dare to ask more questions. She took the letter and went outside to burn it.
When the mandarin duck came back, Jia's mother was staring at the swinging clock. The mandarin duck stood aside and dared not say anything. For a long time, Jia's mother sighed deeply, "It's really difficult to welcome the girl. She is indeed a thoughtful child."
Mothers didn't know the importance of the matter and dared not reply to Jia's mother's words.
"It's just," Jia's mother shook her head and leaned against the couch. "There are many things that I can control?" Jia's mother seemed to be very tired. She lay on the couch and closed her eyes. Yingchun is really a good child. He saw the future of Jia's house so thoroughly and came to tell her again. However, many things have been doomed to an end from the beginning. If you want to turn back halfway, there is no way to come.
Si Zhu returned to Sun's house and learned from Yingchun.
"The old lady just makes it easy for her to raise."
Yingchun nodded, "You've done a good job. Go down and rest for a while. There are still a few locusthorns here."
Si Zhu replied with a smile, "I'm not tired."
Yingchun thought of another thing and told Si Zhu, "Just now, the girl from Mrs. Li said that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Li are coming tomorrow. You are going to greet the guests."
Si Zhu nodded.
Yingchun has not seen Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lu for a long time. Thinking that these two ladies are still the first friends they have made since they traveled through time, especially Mrs. Li, who are upright and uphold justice, and have very similar temperaments with Yingchun. It's a blessing to see these "handkerchiefs" and think about them. Thinking about it, Yingchun's face was full of smiles.
The next day, Yingchun was ready early. As soon as Mao Shi passed, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lu came to Sun's house. Although Yingchun did not greet him in person, Si Zhu took several maids to pick up the two wives.
The two ladies entered the courtyard of Yingchun. Yingchun had already stood at the door. Seeing the two of them coming, they smiled and saluted, "My body is inconvenient. I don't welcome Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lu far away. Please forgive me."
Mrs. Li came over first and took Yingchun's hand. "You are so foreign. Everyone has a good relationship with each other. What are you talking about?"
Mrs Lu also came over at this time and looked up and down at Yingchun, "Mrs Sun is a little fat."
Yingchun knew that the two wives knew that they were pregnant. Their faces were slightly red and asked the two wives, "Please talk inside."
The three entered the room, and the guests sat down. Yingchun smiled and said, "How are the two ladies recently?"
Mrs Li and Yingchun were relatively familiar with each other and smiled first, "It's okay, but Mrs. Lu has something to do this time."
Yingchun looked at Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "The matter that Mrs. Sun asked me to marry my sister is a little clear now. I have a choice. I would like to tell Mrs. Sun."
When Yingchun heard about Sun Huiying, she hurriedly asked, "What kind of family is it?"
"Dinghaihou Han's family."
When Yingchun heard that he would be able to be awarded the title of Marquis, he must not be an ordinary family. However, how can such a family marry a girl who is old and not a good official?
Mrs Lu saw Yingchun's doubts and explained with a smile, "The ancestors of the Han family, the Marquis of Dinghai, also followed the former emperor. When it came to the father of the Marquis of Dinghai, they attacked the throne. Because their father and the Marquis of Dinghai were not in good health, they were just a virtual number and did not master any practice. However, the salary in the court will not be small. I think Lord Sun should have heard of it.
Yingchun nodded, "It bothered Mrs. Lu, but I don't know what the identity of this prince is?" In fact, Yingchun already knows that Ding Haihou, the hereditary direct son of such a family will definitely not be told to Sun Huiying.
Mrs Lu smiled and said, "This is the son of a concubine. This prince is 18 years old. His aunt has died a long time ago, but she has been raised by the old lady of the Hou family. Although she is a concubine, the marquis has never embarrassed this son. Once upon a time, he had four brothers and was raised by the old lady. It was difficult for the marquis to ask anything deeply. Last year, the old lady died of an urgent illness, and the fifth son returned to the Hou family. It's just that the old lady said earlier that she wanted to choose the fifth son's marriage, but the old lady's death unexpectedly delayed such a good talent. The marquis's wife was also so anxious that she was afraid that outsiders would think that she owed the fifth son, so she tried to discuss marriage for the fifth son.
Yingchun smiled and thought that the marquis didn't pay attention to this concubine, otherwise she would really be a parent and put her child at this age. Why don't you talk about marriage?
Yingchun nodded with a smile, "It sounds very suitable for my little sister, but I don't know how the character of Mr. Han Wu is?"
Mrs Lu smiled softly and said, "Others say that he is a little dull and doesn't know how to compete with his brothers for status and property, but I look at people."
Mrs. Li said at this time, "My grandfather mentioned this Mr. Han Wuzi. It is rumored that he is a fool outside. He doesn't show tricks in front of his mother all day long, doesn't go to his brother's place, and honestly studies in his yard. Mrs. Sun can ask Mr. Sun. I think Mr. Sun has also heard the name of Mr. Han Wuzi.
Listening to Yingchun, I felt that this person was very safe. Some things can be fought if they are not contested. If you are not careful, there will be trouble.
Yingchun hurriedly thanked the two, and the two wives told them about Yingchun's pregnancy. Yingchun kept two ladies to have lunch at her place before ordering someone to send them out.
When Sun Shaozu came back in the afternoon, Yingchun told Sun Shaozu what Mrs. Lu said.
"Han Wuzi?" Sun Shaozu raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it Han Wu's fool rumored outside?"
Yingchun stared at Sun Shaozu, "Don't say that. I just want to ask you, can you hear, is this person appropriate?"
Sun Shaozu sat next to Yingchun and stroked a small hand of Yingchun. "It is rumored that this person is a nerd outside, but I think it's good. It is also Huiying's blessing that Mrs. Lu can help us find such a person.
"How's the nerd?"
"Naturally, it's good. I think you understand some things. Although the Han family, the Marquis of Dinghai, withdrew from their official career, they also did a good job in the business field. The family business was great, and the legitimate son and concubines also fought for blood because of their own selfishness. And he can put himself out of the world and don't rely on his left and right. No matter what happens in the future, he has nothing to do with him.
Sun Shaozu smiled gently, "What's more, this Mr. Han Wu is gentle-to-be and indeed like a reading material. The marquis and his wife are stupid to read as this son. Now they don't like this son or hate this son. Think about it carefully, would it be a simple person to be able to do this in such a intrigue family? I see, this person is the smartest person in Hou's house.
Yingchun didn't say anything, but he knew that Sun Shaozu was also very satisfied with this marriage. Then I'll talk to my mother tomorrow?"
"You can talk about it early tomorrow morning. You tell your mother that I also agree to this marriage. You ask your mother to tell Huiying that such a person, such a person, will not have this store after this village, and ask Huiying not to make a mistake.
Yingchun nodded, but there were a few worries in her heart. Will Sun Huiying agree to this marriage?
