300: Xiaocui reports, Lotus wants clothes
Jia Yue'er sat in the room, her delicate hands tightly clasped together, her long and thin eyebrows slightly wrinkled, but as soon as they wrinkled, she quickly used her hands to separate her eyebrows. She didn't want to grow wrinkles because of wrinkling her eyebrows. Now she had a look that could make the young master of the Zhang family love her, which was the most important thing.
"Auntie, I see that the old man is very polite to the couple, and the young lady seems to have a good impression of them as well."
Xiaohong was fanning Jia Yueer and talking.
Xiao Cui brought over a bowl of sour plum juice and said, "The Shen family's wife is good at cooking, which has made the restaurant's business booming. Naturally, the master is very polite to them."
"But you don't have to be so polite to them, right? Knowing how to cook is also giving them money."
Xiaohong said that she just couldn't understand why a country bumpkin was so worthy of the old man's polite treatment. What's so great about being able to cook? Didn't they sell the recipes for those dishes?
Xiao Cui had met Su Zhi at Baise Xiu Zhuang with Jia Yue'er, and she still had a different feeling about the peasant woman. Moreover, she had heard the servant who had been to Fuyuan with the old man talk about the magical place of Fuyuan. She thought that the family that could get a name from the prefect was certainly not an ordinary country family.
Jia Yue'er glanced at Xiaohong and thought that this maid was very loyal. Unfortunately, she was not as well-informed as Xiaocui. However, she still trusted her more because the most important thing for a servant was loyalty.
So she just told him what she had heard about the Shen couple as if nothing had happened. Xiaohong blinked her eyes as she listened, and her eyes were red with envy for the Shen couple.
"It's a pity that I didn't have time to meet her. I could have built a relationship with her, and it would have been more natural to go to her house. Otherwise, it would have seemed a bit abrupt."
Jia Yue'er thought to herself that when she heard that Shen Zi'an and his wife had arrived, it was already late. When she wanted to go, they had already left. However, Shang Shi met them, and she heard that Shang Shi was also very polite to them. Thinking of the picture of Shang Shi, the fierce enemy, standing together with the Shen couple in harmony, she felt it was ridiculous, and a hidden uneasiness rose from the bottom of her heart. She told herself that she was just overthinking.
Xiao Cui said with her hands down, "Aunt, after the Shen couple left, the young lady was called into the study by the master. I heard that when the young lady came out, she looked very well!"
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Jia Yue'er raised her eyebrows, wondering what the old man said to Shang Shi to make Shang Shi happy? She was not a stupid person. She could coax Zhang Baozhu into loving her from the bottom of his heart. Naturally, she was very smart. She had seen that Zhang Dafu didn't like her. The reason for not liking her might be because she was too smart. But she was just a concubine and too gentle. Zhang Dafu, a man who had lived a hard life, felt that a woman like her should not be too smart, otherwise it would be difficult to control her.
However, Zhang Dafu values a daughter-in-law like Shang.
What did Zhang Dafu and Shang Jing say to make Shang so happy? If it were usual, Jia Yue'er would not think too much about it, but today, the Shen couple just left, so she naturally connected this matter with the couple. But that couple was the source of her troubles now.
Xiao Cui nodded quickly and said cautiously, "Aunt, tell me, is this about the child?"
Aunt Yue suddenly looked up at Xiao Cui and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Xiaohong also looked at Xiaocui. The idea that Xiaocui mentioned was indeed a topic that attracted their attention. In the Zhang family, offspring were the most important thing, because Zhang Baozhu, the only son of the Zhang family, was almost thirty years old but still had no children. This was simply making people anxious. Whoever could give birth to a child for the Zhang family at this time would be praised to the sky, not to mention a son, even a daughter would be the same, because as long as a child was born, it would prove that there was nothing wrong with the young master of the Zhang family!
Seeing Aunt Yue and Xiao Hong looking at her, Xiao Cui became more energetic and said in a crisp voice, "I heard that the young lady liked the three children of the Shen family very much when she met them today, but after the children left, her complexion was not very good. It was obvious that she was worried about the issue of offspring.
After coming out of the old man's study, she immediately became happy, most likely because of the child. "
Xiaohong said: "It may not be this matter, maybe it is something else!"
Xiao Cui said: "I also heard one thing, that is, the Shen family lady, her medical skills are very good!"
When Jia Yue'er heard this, her heart was moved. If the lady from the Lou Shen family was a good doctor, then it might really be about the child. No, she had to find out what was going on as soon as possible!
"Xiao Cui, how much do you know? Tell me everything you know! You will definitely benefit from it when the time comes!"
Xiao Cui immediately told Jia Yue'er everything she had found out. The more Jia Yue'er listened, the more shocked she became. She had never thought that the Shen family's wife was not only clever but also able to treat illnesses. What else could she not do? How could she be such a person?
Jia Yueer's mind flashed with the image of An and Su Zhi standing together happily, and her brows were furrowed. She couldn't remember to wipe them away, and she just felt confused.
Xiao Hong said anxiously: "Aunt, if the lady from the Shen family has this ability, you can't let the young lady get ahead of you, at least you can't let her get pregnant alone! You are the one that the young master likes the most, and you are the one who is most qualified to give birth to the young master of the Zhang family!"
Xiao Cui also nodded at the side. She was also anxious. If Aunt Yue gave birth to a miscarriage, then they, as personal maids, would also benefit. And if the young lady gave birth to a young master, it would also affect Aunt Yue's status. Naturally, they hoped that Aunt Yue would take action.
Jia Yue'er clenched her fist, stood up, and said, "I suddenly remembered that I might need to buy some rouge and powder. You two can come with me."
Xiaohong and Xiaocui looked at each other and responded quickly. The two of them began to pack up for Aunt Yue. After a while, the three of them walked outside and left the Zhang Mansion.
Although there was a drought, the number of people in the town market did not decrease at all. Instead, it seemed that there were more people. Those who did not farm were much less affected, so they naturally came to do all kinds of trading. The farmers who did farm were also more active in looking for ways to make money in order to exchange them for food.
Shen Zian drove the ox cart carrying his wife's three children on the street and first went to Baise Embroidery Shop. Since Su Zhi started working with Shopkeeper Su, she would meet her every time she came to the market. After meeting Shopkeeper Su, she said goodbye and left. As a result, she met her mother and Lianhua, who took her to talk about family matters, especially the growth of the fat and fair grandson of the Zhao family, and asked Su Zhi to go back and take a look when she had time.
Su Zhi naturally agreed. Although she didn't have a good impression of Zhao Xiaomei's family, she did her best. Who asked her to use someone else's daughter's body? She was living a good life now, so she naturally wouldn't let the Zhao family down. She had returned to her parents' home two or three times in the past few days, and each time she brought something back. She had a good reputation in Liushu Village. Who in Liushu Village didn't envy the Zhao family for having a well-married girl?
Su Zhi also planned to find a way for the Zhao family to make money so that they could have a livelihood, and they would come to her house less often to ask for money in the future, and she would really be responsible to Zhao Xiaomei. She didn't help the poor, but only helped them in times of emergency. She thought that the Zhao family might be afraid of poverty, so they would like to take advantage of her. If they had money and jobs, they would not bother her.
Su Zhi will not let them participate in her business. She wants to find an independent small business for them to do. She is thinking about what to do!
"Sister, your dress is really beautiful."
Lianhua told Duozhi that she looked at the clothes on Xiangzhi without hiding the desire in her eyes at all, and she was almost about to tell Suzhi that she wanted this dress.
"You girl! Is your family short of clothes or what?!" Zhao Yang scolded Lianhua, then turned to Su Zhi and said with a smile: "Su Zhi, don't pay attention to your sister. She has grown up now and knows how to love beauty. She always has her eyes on those colorful things, which is really worrying. But this is also the nature of girls. If you have any leftover clothes, give a few to your sister!"
Su Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She thought the first few words were pleasant to the ear, but the latter part turned to asking for things. But she was not angry. How could a mother be polite to her daughter?
Zhao Yang didn't ask her to pay for clothes for Lianhua, but only asked her to give her a few old clothes. That was good enough. But how could she give Lianhua her old clothes? Besides, she really didn't have any old clothes. She didn't have two clothes before. Later, all the clothes she got were new ones, and she liked them all.
"Lotus is old enough, it's time for her to make some more clothes. I'm going to the cloth shop, let's go together, I'll buy some cloth for mom and sister. My nephew has grown up a bit now, I'll buy him some softer cotton cloth, it's my thought as an aunt."
Su Zhi is rich now, and she really doesn't want to worry about this little money. Since ancient times, which married woman doesn't want to make her parents' family live a good life? Although she is not a pure daughter of the Zhao family, she also wants to fulfill her daughter's heart for Zhao Xiaomei.
Lianhua was happy when she heard this, and Zhao Yang was also happy. This was exactly the result she wanted!
"Su Zhi, Zi'an won't be unhappy, right? That will cost a lot of money!"
Zhao Yang was overjoyed, but suddenly she remembered Shen Zian. Su Zhi was spending Shen's family's money. Shen Zian also didn't like the Zhao family before. He wouldn't be angry now, right? (
,please.
