Chapter 115: The Best 2◇
◎ Jinjiang alone. ◎
Kyoto Zhongsu Palace,
On the morning of the third day after Zhou Yu returned home from her three visits, before she even woke up, Princess Jingyi's trusted nanny, Nanny Shi, came to summon her to the Princess Jingyi's presence to set the rules...
In the morning, he had to get up at the hour of Mao, wait outside Concubine Han's bedroom for her to get up, and then help her wash her face and put on makeup. After having breakfast, he could go back to his own room to eat something.
After eating, she couldn't rest for a moment before she had to go over to accompany Concubine Han again. When Concubine Han was painting, she ground the ink; when Concubine Han was praying, she burned incense; when Concubine Han was visiting, she supported her; when Concubine Han was going to the toilet, she... waited by the toilet...
In short, according to Nanny Wei, the so-called mother-in-law asking her daughter-in-law to set rules is nothing more than this.
"No!" Zhu Xi angrily exclaimed, "How can she be called a proper mother-in-law? She's just my stepmother, and she has the nerve to let my sweetheart Yu set the rules for her?! We didn't get enough sleep last night, so we need to get some more sleep!"
He held Zhou Yu's face and comforted him:
"Wife, just sleep a little longer. I'll tell the Emperor that she's deliberately making things difficult for you! Don't worry, your husband will take care of you no matter what!"
The two Wei Mamas beside them...
"Uh... Your Highness Prince Rui, Crown Princess Jingyi is still your mother after all. As a daughter-in-law, it's only right for the princess to set the rules. If you bring this matter to His Majesty, I'm afraid that His Majesty or others will think that the princess is being spoiled and deliberately being lazy!"
When Nanny Wen saw this, she hurriedly spoke out to persuade them.
Zhou Yu was also embarrassed by the fact that this guy was flirting with her in front of the two maids, and her face turned red. She couldn't help but slap Zhu Xi's hand that was holding her face.
"Just go about your business. You don't need to worry about such a small matter! Also, don't come back to have lunch with me today. Everyone else is eating at the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Why are you always coming back?"
In recent days, Zhu Shan, Zhu Xi, Zhu Chi, and other princes and grandchildren in Kyoto had to accompany Emperor Chengqian and his ministers to discuss state affairs every day. Therefore, they all had lunch with Emperor Chengqian and his ministers in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Only Zhu Xi ran back as soon as it was time for lunch, making a special trip back to have lunch with her, and then ran back again after lunch...
As a result, the top figures in Dayan are all impressed by her, the favorite concubine who seduced Prince Rui to the point of losing his soul! !
She had only been married for seven days, but because of this guy, she had already gained the reputation of being a vixen!
God knows how completely unrelated the three words "Zhou Yu" and "Fox Charmer" are!
"Ah? Ayu, I don't..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi immediately shook Zhou Yu's arm to express his opposition. However, after Zhou Yu whispered something in his ear, Zhu Xi immediately stopped talking, hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, and went to Emperor Cheng Qian's bedroom.
Ayu told him that from now on, they and their wife would fight for their future lucrative fiefdom!
What they have to do now is to cling to his grandfather's thighs and not be delayed by these childish affairs!
So, Emperor Cheng Qian, who had just woken up, saw the flattering smile of his fifth grandson...
The sun is rising from the west today?! Why else would this guy, who never dawdled until noon after their wedding, be so diligent today?! Is he up to something bad again?!
…
Meanwhile, Zhou Yu, with the help of Nanny Wei, finished dressing up and sat down on the couch. He drank a bowl of glutinous rice porridge and ate four exquisite steamed buns at the small table.
"Princess, they can say whatever they want. If you can do it, do it. If you can't, don't do it. If you really can't do it, just pretend to be weak. In short, don't tire yourself out..."
Nanny Wen reminded Zhou Yu in a low voice while watching him drink porridge.
Crown Princess Jingyi obviously wants to use the rules to control Zhou Yu, the new daughter-in-law. She is a kind-looking person with a cruel heart. Nanny Wen has heard that even her own daughter-in-law Deng has lost a lot of weight recently because of her abuse. Therefore, she is worried that Zhou Yu is young and has a weak reputation, and will be bullied by this stepmother-in-law!
The two maids that Lady Eguogong gave her were so kind to her! They were completely different from when they first went to her house to teach her!
Zhou Yu felt like she was being spoiled into oblivion by the two of them! No matter what she did, the two maids would always make arrangements for her in advance and give her lots of advice, which made her, a complete newbie in the palace, feel a lot more relaxed!
Zhou Yu was very happy with the transformation of the two, and naturally reciprocated their kindness with more respect. Hearing the worry in Nanny Wen's words, he smiled and comforted her:
"Well, don't worry, Ma'am. I will definitely not let myself suffer any loss!"
…
By the time Zhou Yu had combed his hair, drunk his porridge, and dressed, half an hour had passed. Nanny Shi, who was waiting at the door, had become anxious. Seeing Zhou Yu still seemed slow to act, she could not help but urge him:
"Princess, please hurry up! Do you still want the Crown Princess, the mother-in-law, to wait for you, the daughter-in-law?!"
"Oh? Is mother awake already? Oh my! I have to hurry!"
Zhou Yu sounded panicked, but his actions were not in a hurry at all. He continued to dawdle and even joked to Madam Shi as he walked:
"You say mother is really something. She doesn't have to set rules for mother-in-law, and no one sent a nanny to urge her to get up early. Why does she get up so early if she doesn't want to sleep in a little longer?!
Hehe, those who know this think that it's because she's old and doesn't sleep enough, but those who don't think she's deliberately tormenting her daughter-in-law?!"
Aunt Shi...
Nanny Wen following behind Zhou Yu...~Puff!
Most of the worries in my heart about Zhou Yu's young age and lack of reputation were immediately dispelled, and I thought to myself, their princess is really... mischievous!
Crown Princess Jingyi just turned 36, and she's already calling her "old lady"! I wonder what that person would think when they find out?! Haha!
…
Concubine Han has had a terrible headache these past few days! She feels like asking Princess Rui to come and set the rules for her is simply asking for trouble! She's so angry that she's even got a few more gray hairs!
But you really can't choose her gift,
Because, no matter what you ask her to do, she always has a good-tempered smile...
But when you ask her to serve you tea, she accidentally drops the tea bowl. When you ask her to pour you water, she trips and spills the water in the basin. When you ask her to chant sutras with you or light incense, she even knocks over the incense burner!
In less than half a month, she had almost destroyed everything in her house!
But you punished her for being impulsive, didn't you?! She immediately fainted... After she fainted, the two old ladies beside her picked her up and ran away, crying... crying and howling...
Why do they always pick on the princess when they have two daughters-in-law?
Why is it that normally the Crown Princess wouldn't blame a little girl for smashing something, but they punish the Princess for such a worthless thing?!
How come their princess was plump when she got married, and now she's already lost so much weight in just a few days...
Every sentence accused her of abusing her stepmother!
Princess Han felt that this was not going to work, so she changed her strategy and brought her daughter-in-law with her whenever she attended a banquet in the palace, wanting to let everyone see how impulsive and ignorant of the rules this new princess from a humble family was. As a result...
In front of outsiders, she behaves better than her own daughter-in-law...
Princess Han...
…
Ever since Zheng moved to the house in Kyoto, Zhou Zelin could no longer stay in the small courtyard in the west of the city. Coincidentally, Zhou Li and Zhou Zhuo were admitted to the Imperial College, so Zhou Zelin simply closed the West City School and returned to Kyoto with Zhou Ruiquan and Zhou Ruifeng.
However, he still didn't want to go back to the former cabinet minister's mansion. There were too many traces of his father in that mansion, and Zhou Zelin was afraid that the scene would bring back memories.
There happened to be a small courtyard in the northwest corner of Zhou Jin's current house. It was not only neat and tidy, but also had a special door leading to the outside of the house, and a corner door leading to the inside of the house. So he invited Zhou Zelin and others to live with him.
The families now get along like one family, and Zhou Zelin wished it were so, so he didn't bother to be polite with Zhou Jin. He packed up some simple things and moved in.
Zhou Ruiquan did not want to become a stumbling block on his nephew's path to marrying a new wife. Like Zhou Jin's siblings, he had long seen the sparks between Zhou Zelin and Zheng. Therefore, on the pretext of not being able to let go of his grandson, he dragged Zhou Ruifeng to live in the former cabinet minister's residence, which was seven or eight alleys away from Zhou Jin's home.
I didn't care at all about Zhou Ruifeng's protest, saying that your grandson is not my grandson and I don't have any grandson to worry about, so why should I live in your house?
…
Since the entire courtyard had more than ten rooms, and Zhou Zelin was the only one living there, and each room had a separate door, after Zhou Zelin moved in, he connected several rooms on the north side of the courtyard and reopened a private school, enrolling about ten students...
He spent the whole day teaching and studying. After school, he would leisurely stroll to the mansion to eat the meals cooked by Zheng. His daily life was very comfortable, and his relationship with Zheng had become more and more profound over the years...
Zhou Zelin knew that Zheng still had him in her heart, but she was afraid that her remarriage would affect the reputation of her children, so she always held on and didn't dare to agree to his request!
Zhou Zelin had no idea what to do about it, and he was too embarrassed to mention the words "I want to marry your mother" to Zhou Jin and his sister. Although he had long realized that the brother and sister had no objection to this, he couldn't open his mouth as an elder to say this to the younger ones.
Later, it was his uncle Zhou Ruiquan who saw his predicament and suggested that he should find a matchmaker to come to his house and make the matter between him and Zheng known to the public. Then, with the help of others to persuade Zheng, the matter might be resolved!
Zhou Zelin agreed with what he heard, so he asked Bai's mother-in-law Wei to be the matchmaker and help him propose marriage to Zheng!
Sure enough, after hearing this, everyone, whether it was Zhou Jin and his sister, Zheng's mother Lin, or the Bai family, came and took turns to persuade Zheng...
Even the brothers Zhou Po and Zhou Luo came over and expressed their willingness to have Zheng become their stepmother...
Zhou Jin even said that if his mother remarried, his son would ask his father to take care of the matter.
In the end, after everyone's repeated persuasion, Zheng finally shyly agreed to Zhou Zelin's proposal!
However, just when Zhou Zelin was happily choosing a date for his wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou came to his house with Zhou Zhu...
…
Old Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, looking embarrassed, were supported by Zhou Zhu to the gate of Zhou Jin's house. When they weakly told Zhou Jin's doorman that they were Zhou Jin's grandparents, not only the newly hired doormen of the Zhou family, but even passers-by on the street were stunned...
At that time, Zhou Jin and Mu Qingni were not at home. Zhou Jin only took one day off every ten days, and Mu Qingni only returned home every three days. Therefore, Zheng was the only owner of the house at that time.
After hearing the servant's report, Zheng Shi hurriedly sent someone to notify Zhou Jin and his wife, and then went to the door herself with her maids and servants...
When he arrived at the door and saw that the two people in front of him looked much older, but they were indeed Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat!
If possible, Zheng really doesn't want to see these two people again in her life...
