The girl who wears fast

Chapter 42 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (42)

"Our family doesn't care about these red tapes... don't you need to greet me?" Luo Rui asked with some doubts. Although he hadn't experienced all kinds of fights between mother-in-laws, he thought that no daughter-in-law would be willing to marry her. The one who got up early to greet and serve her mother-in-law, besides, Xu Shichu was only his stepmother.

"No, I'm just a little worried that if people find out, they will think that I have no dignity and no filial piety..." Qin Mei said carefully.

"How can outsiders control our family's affairs? And Mrs. Step wished that we would not quarrel with her, so you don't have to care about these things." Luo Rui said patiently, he didn't know why his wife kept discussing this matter with him , can't she just do what she says?Why explore too much.

Qin Mei saw her husband's impatience and finally shut up.

Xu Shichu originally thought that having an extra step-daughter-in-law would not hinder her, but she never thought that Qin Mei was a "filial" person. Although she listened to Luo Rui's words and did not greet her sooner or later, she began to visit her during the day.

"Ma'am, the young lady is outside, and she wants to see you." Zhichun came back and told Xu Shichu.

Xu Shichu was teasing Du Zhao with fruit, when he heard this, he was puzzled: "What is she looking for me for? Forget it, let her in."

After all, she is a daughter-in-law who has just entered the house, so it's not easy for Xu Shichu to refuse her contact from the very beginning.

Qin Mei followed the leading servant girl into Xu Shichu's courtyard, and what she saw were flowers blooming all over the place, as if entering a fairyland.

"As expected, it is indeed the garden of the prime minister's wife in the capital of Ming Dynasty..." Qin Mei's eyes widened in amazement at the words of the mansion, and she couldn't help sighing. The maids she brought were also shocked by all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. .

Qin Mei remembered that when she and her elder brother were strolling in the streets of the capital, they once passed a flower shop called "Hundred Flowers Pavilion", where all kinds of rare and beautiful flowers were arranged in a well-arranged order.

She also forgot to turn her eyes. When she went in to look at it, she found that she could hardly afford every potted flower there... Although she couldn't afford it, she could still appreciate it. At that time, she still lamented that if one day If she can buy a pot of flowers from the "Hundred Flowers Pavilion", she will be satisfied!

But now, the owner of Baihua Pavilion is her mother-in-law... Qin Mei's heart warmed up when she thought of this fact, especially when she saw the flowers in the yard that were invisible to the eyes, her heart beat even faster-no woman would I don't like flowers.

"The step-wife is amazing. She can grow so many exotic flowers and plants." Qin Mei said in amazement, even slowing down her steps.

The maid leading the way has long been used to seeing guests being mesmerized by these flowers, so she proudly said: "Our wife is naturally powerful, no matter how rare and difficult to grow flowers, there is no one that cannot live in her hands. "

Seeing that Qin Mei could barely move, the servant girl said very understandingly: "Young Madam, if you like it, you can tell Madam, and I will stay and enjoy it later."

"Okay, I definitely want to appreciate it. I've never seen many flowers here." Qin Mei said happily, and quickly walked up, hoping to finish contacting Xu Shichu's "feelings" earlier so that he could enjoy the flowers.

"Mother, the flowers in your yard grow so beautifully. My daughter-in-law immediately fell in love with them. I wonder if my daughter-in-law can enjoy them?" Qin Mei and Xu Shichu exchanged a few words, and then made their own request.

Xu Shichu raised her brows, she was not stingy about letting people admire her flowers, but she was worried that some people would not appreciate them enough and wanted to keep them for herself.

However, Qin Mei shouldn't be so thick-skinned, right?Xu Shichu thought uncertainly, but he still complied with her request to enjoy the flowers.

"Auntie, let's pick strawberries!" Xiao Zhaozhao said to Xu Shichu with a smile, raising his chubby face.

In addition to planting flowers, Xu Shichu also planted some fruits, strawberries are one of them, but not many are planted, so if you want to eat strawberries, you have to wait.

Little Fatty just wanted to eat strawberries every day, and even if the strawberries were not yet ripe, he would ask the maid to take a look at them every day.

"The strawberries aren't ripe yet, what are you picking?" Xu Shichu rubbed the chubby little face, "You pick the one that's ripe, how can there be any ripe ones now?"

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Zhaozhao's chubby face was puffed up from rubbing, but his small mouth still said firmly, "Yesterday, yesterday, I got half acquainted!"

"Half cooked?" Xu Shichu couldn't help laughing, "Half cooked yesterday, will the rest be cooked today?"

"That's right." Little Fatty nodded of course.

"Okay, I'll let you go and see if it's ripe." Xu Shichu picked up the heavy little guy and walked to the small field where the strawberries were planted.

Xiaopangpang smiled happily, put his short fat arms around Xu Shichu's neck, and said affectionately in her ear: "Auntie, when I pick the strawberries, I will share half of them with you!"

Xu Shichu was amused by him: "Only half of it? I let someone plant these strawberries."

Little Fatty suddenly frowned, and said with difficulty: "Then, then give another one to aunt?"

"Just one more?" Xu Shichu pretended to be unhappy and said.

"Two more! No more! I won't have any more..." Xiao Zhaozhao said with a sad face, his flesh aching, as if giving two more strawberries to Xu Shichu was like digging flesh from his body.

Xu Shichu was amused by his distressed little expression, and finally realized his conscience and said: "Forget it, Auntie won't rob you, you just need to share half with me."

"Thank you, aunt!" Xiao Zhaozhao immediately burst into a smile when he heard it.

When the aunt and nephew arrived at the strawberry field, Xu Shichu saw at a glance that not many strawberries were red.

Xiao Zhaozhao obviously saw it too, he turned around the strawberry field with eyes full of disappointment, raised his head, and said to Xu Shichu in frustration: "Auntie, it's so rare..."

"Who made you think about picking them all day long? You eat the ones that are cooked. It's luck to have a few cooked ones now." Xu Shichu teased.

Pangdun had no choice but to pick the few ripe strawberries in disappointment, held them in his hands, and shared them with Xu Shichu one by one.

The aunt and nephew shared the strawberries, and Xiao Zhaozhao played for a while before taking a nap.

Xu Shichu also wanted to take a nap, but unfortunately there was Qin Mei in her yard.

"Go and ask how long you want to admire the young lady? If it takes a long time, I'll take a nap first." Xu Shichu sent a maid to ask Qin Mei.

After a while, the servant girl came back and said that the young lady would appreciate it for a long time, and let the lady go to sleep.

Xu Shichu was not polite to his cheap daughter-in-law, and really went to bed.

When she woke up, she saw Qin Mei who was full of excitement and asked her shyly and expectantly: "Mother, can you give me some flowers? Just the ones that are planted in the yard, it shouldn't be a problem to send me some... ..."
