Chapter 45 The Banquet Ends
Zhang waited for a long time before she heard some noise outside. She hurried out of the inner room and saw that it was Yin Xu who came back. She hurried forward and said, "Master, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Then he told Madam Zhou who was standing beside him, "Madam Zhou, bring some food over, and ask the maids to boil some water so that the master can take a bath later."
Madam Zhou bowed and said, "Yes, Madam, I will take my leave."
Zhang and Yin Xu walked into the inner room. Zhang personally stepped forward, untied Yin Xu's thin cloak and hung it on the hanger.
Zhang saw Yin Xu's tired face and said quickly, "Master, you must be tired! Come and sit down."
Yin Xu nodded and sat on the Arhat couch. Zhang poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yin Xu personally. Seeing that Yin Xu looked very tired, Zhang walked to Yin Xu and rubbed his shoulders.
Seeing Yin Xu's expression gradually relax, Zhang asked, "Master, how is it? Yi'er also entered the palace today and went to the prince. I also understand some of the situation. There is no need to send invitations to Shangjing City. We only need to entertain the people of the three major families."
Yin Xu sighed and said, "The disaster is more serious than we thought. There is no need to entertain the people from the three major families. Just keep a low profile, let them come in through the side door, and serve them food and drink.
Moreover, your mother's family, the Zhang family, is in Shaanxi, which is a disaster-stricken area. I don't know if you can arrive safely? ”
Zhang's heart tightened instantly: "Master, it should be fine. With the protection of the troops, it should be fine."
Yin Xu nodded and said, "Well, it should be fine. Madam, remember, you must stay calm during this period of time and don't make a big fuss about anything. If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it, it will be a fatal weapon to attack me."
Zhang said: "Don't worry, my husband. I know what to do."
Yin Xu patted Zhang's hand gently and said with a relieved look: "I am most confident in your work. Oh! By the way, Madam, please help me pack my luggage. I will rush to the disaster area at dawn. This is an operation and it is confidential. Madam, please do not leak the secret. If I am not careful, my life may be in danger."
Zhang walked up to Yin Xu worriedly and couldn't help asking, "Is it so dangerous? Okay, I know. I won't say anything. If someone asks, what should I say?"
Yin Xu said: "It is an emergency. The emperor left me in the cabinet to discuss matters. I don't know when I will return home. And don't worry, Madam. I have the protection of the Jinyiwei. Besides, I am visiting secretly, so the danger is not great.
Madam, during the time that I'm not at home, you must take good care of the family, Jingyi's imperial examinations, Yue'er's marriage, Zijin's illness, Niao'er's temper, as well as Feng'er and Yao'er. The concubines have all been asked to take care of by you. I hope that when I come back, everyone in the Yin family will be waiting for me at the gate. ”
Zhang didn't know when she started crying. At this moment, she was wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, saying, "Don't worry, Master. I will take good care of the family and wait for you to return safely..."
As they were talking, Nanny Zhou brought in food. After Zhang helped Yin Xu finish his meal and bathed and changed his clothes, she asked, "Master, would you like to stay at Yimei Courtyard tonight?"
Yin Xu waved his hand and said, "No, I'll go see Aunt Li." Then he strode out.
Zhang and Zhou Ma Ma bowed and said, "Farewell, Master."
After Yin Xu disappeared, Zhang stood up and whispered sinisterly: "It's Aunt Li again, it's Aunt Li again. How charming is Aunt Li? She still dotes on me after so many years.
Could it be that those brothel styles could really seduce men? Or you can learn it yourself. ”
When Zhang came to her senses, she pinched herself and said, "Ah! What are you thinking about? You are already old, what are you still thinking about?
Let’s wait and let the Sixth and Seventh Girls learn from them later! As long as they can serve their husbands well, that's enough. ”
I wonder what Zhang was thinking of? He sneered and said, "Mrs. Li personally taught her son to play the lyric and sing songs, dance and arrange flowers, and teach her son to serve a man. I can't help but want to watch it."
Nanny Zhou packed up the dishes and bathing supplies, looked at Zhang talking to herself, and said, "Madam, it's getting late, go to bed!"
Zhang finally responded and said, "You can't go to bed yet, Madam Zhou. Let's pack up the things that Master will take with him on his long journey tomorrow before going to bed."
Madam Zhou said, "Okay, Madam. I'll help you change your clothes. Let's go to the front yard."
Zhang nodded, put on her clothes, and left Yimeyuan with Nanny Zhou and walked towards the front yard.
As soon as she left Yimeyuan, Zhang heard a faint and intermittent sound of a piano. Zhang asked, "Madam Zhou, did you hear the music?"
Madam Zhou said, "I heard it. It must be that vixen, Aunt Li. She gets horny when she's not around for a day. No wonder the master is so obsessed with her."
When Zhang heard Madam Zhou say such vulgar words, she quickly said, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, Madam Zhou, you'd better stop saying such things, especially in front of the children."
Madam Zhou said, "Madam, rest assured. I know my limits. I am here to defend you. You are so virtuous and have managed the house in perfect order, but the master does not appreciate it. He goes to Aunt Li every day."
