Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Minister's Mansion, Linghua Pavilion.

Zhou Chenxiang came here straight back, ordered the kitchen to cook a large table of good dishes, coaxed Shen Lingling to drink some wine while eating, looking at the bright red pretty face, Zhou Chenxiang couldn't help but be moved.

Pick up Shen Lingling and throw it on the bed.

Shen Lingling said softly: "My lord, please cover the quilt first, it's not too cold in winter~~ Heart"

"Yeah~~ It's not cold." Zhou Chenxiang really didn't feel cold, his heart was full of fire, as if he was back in his twenties, full of passion and energy.

After making out for a while, Shen Lingling spoke softly. "My lord, I'm homesick!"
Zhou Chenxiang closed his eyes and said, "That's not right. Isn't the master's home your home? What kind of home do you want?"

Shen Lingling hurriedly changed her words: "Master's words are right, that Lingling misses her parents~~"

"Are Xiao Shiyi's parents still in the country?" Zhou Chenxiang asked casually, a little tired.

"Isn't it? Lingling's parents are still in the countryside, facing the loess and back to the sky, digging food in the field." Shen Lingling said sadly.

Seeing that Prime Minister Zhou didn't answer, she stood up and looked at Prime Minister Zhou, and said coquettishly: "My lord~~ Lingling entrusts you with blessings, rich clothes and fine food, but the countryside has been plagued by locusts and there is a shortage of food, and Lingling's parents and younger brother are in short supply. With little food and clothing, I was starving in the countryside."

How much can she eat and wear alone? What she wants is that the whole family can enjoy the glory and wealth in peace, and she has to earn more money when the master is new to her.

She relied on her natal family, and she could only stand upright in the mansion when her natal family was hardened.

With so many concubines in the mansion, Zhou Cheng is well aware of his little care for women.

Patting Shen Lingling's hand, he lazily said: "Growing potatoes everywhere, why go hungry? It's okay, don't worry." Ask him to be responsible for an aunt's family? He doesn't have that kind of family background.

"No, master, Lingling doesn't care, my parents gave birth to me and raised me, I want them to eat meat too~~" Shen Lingling pouted dissatisfiedly, pushed Zhou Chenxiang away, turned sideways and ignored him.

Zhou Chen couldn't resist, so he could only give in.

"Okay, okay, the master will give you five thousand taels of silver, and you will bring your family to the capital, buy a house and a front door, and let them start a small business, so that you will have meat to eat.

"Well~~ Lingling, thank you so much, master." Shen Lingling smiled happily, and slipped into Zhou Chenxiang's arms, "Master is so kind to me, you must do your best to serve him well.

Outside Linghua Pavilion, Aunt Jiang didn't see the master for several days, so she came here to find it.

Relying on the previous master's favor, she went directly to the door of the house regardless of Madam Su's obstruction, and was about to open the door to go in. At this moment, she heard the flirting and cursing inside, and her face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Standing at the door and waiting for a long while, she said outside: "Master, Niuniu wants Master to take her out of the house to watch the lanterns today"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a tired voice from inside: "If she wants to go, let her go with the madam, pestering the old man what to do!" Aunts are not qualified to go out to show their faces, so Aunt Jiang came here in the name of her daughter. Find the master.

Aunt Jiang's face darkened, but she still whispered softly: "Master, Niuniu is your little padded jacket, you promised her early in the morning.
"If you talk nonsense, give Niu Niu to Madam to raise. If you are so free, why not go out and sell tofu."

Aunt Jiang's face changed drastically when she heard this, she didn't dare to be petty anymore, and left with a gloomy face.

Her natal family was a tofu maker in the capital, and once she followed her mother to deliver tofu to the minister's mansion. She was spotted by the minister Zhou for her good looks, and she was accepted into the mansion as an aunt.

She gave birth to a daughter named Niu Niu, who was eloquent at a young age and was used to please Zhou and ministers.

Aunt Jiang was eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was born no worse than Shen Lingling. Although her status was not as high as that of a lady, she was naturally nobler than Shen Lingling, a handmaid.

But what else can she do besides being angry? The master protects her like that.
Look at how brave the master was just now? If Aunt Shen gave birth to a son, how could there be a place for their mother and daughter in the mansion?
The more Aunt Jiang thought about it, the more she panicked. She couldn't deal with Shen Lingling, a vixen, but Madam can!
Thinking so, he went back to Lanhua Pavilion and took his daughter, Niuniu, to Bingyue Pavilion.

In Bingyue Pavilion, Mrs. Zhou was asking Grandma Sun to choose clothes for her so that she could dress brighter and go out to watch the Lantern Festival when Aunt Jiang asked to see her outside.

"Let her wait in the yard." Mrs. Zhou deliberately ignored her and refused to let her into the house.

Grandma Sun came over with a crimson cloak, and laughed softly, "How proud was he when he was doted on by the master before? Heh~~ And today~~ Madam, what do you think of this one?" She said while gesturing.

"It's still darker." Mrs. Zhou looked at the mirror and raised her eyebrows. She begged the master to assign Zhou Qian to her as a bodyguard, and to dress brightly so that this old man would look good.

"Then change it." Nanny Sun took the cloak and hung it up, and came over with a purple one.

"Look at her despondent look, I'm afraid she was completely defeated by the one from Linghua Pavilion." The maid Chunlan glanced through the crack of the door and came over with a smile.
Nanny Sun made gestures to Mrs. Zhou and proudly said: "My aunt is my aunt, no matter how much she is favored, she has to come to Madam to be cold and neglected. Let her wait outside for a while to experience the feeling of being left out."
After trying more than a dozen pieces in a row, Mrs. Zhou finally said, "The fuchsia one looks the best, so let's just go with that one."

"Yes, ma'am." Nanny Sun took out the purple-red cloak again and put it on Madam Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou looked in the mirror with satisfaction, took the hand stove from Chunlan, and walked out of the house.

"Yo? Aunt Jiang hasn't left yet?" She looked surprised. Seeing that the little girl in Aunt Jiang's hand had a red nose from the cold, she stepped forward and said, "Look, Miss Qi is so cold? Why didn't you come out with the master?" Ice Lanterns in the Household?”

A few days ago, Aunt Jiang proudly showed off that the master would take Miss Seven out of the house to watch the ice lanterns.

Seeing that the master shrank in Aunt Shen's bed and refused to come out, Mrs. Zhou also secretly laughed.

Aunt Jiang sneered twice, and said nicely, "Master is in Linghua Pavilion, I don't have time~~ He said he asked me to bring Miss Seven to Madam's place, and trouble Madam to take Miss Seven out of the house to play.

"Well, then leave Miss Seven to me." Mrs. Zhou winked at Nanny Sun, and Nanny Sun stepped forward to hold Miss Seven's hand.

"Thank you ma'am." Aunt Jiang paused, then suddenly smiled and talked about Weihua Pavilion.

"Just now when I went to Linghua Pavilion, I saw a lot of movement in the room~~ The master is working so hard, I'm afraid I still want to give birth to an old man, alas~~ My stomach is hopeless, and I will be content with a daughter~~ See what I'm doing with this? It's a madam's pleasure.

As he spoke, he knelt down in front of his daughter and closed the cloak for her: "Niuniu must listen to Madam, Madam is the biggest and most respectable, do you hear me?"

After hearing these words, Mrs. Zhou somewhat dispelled her hostility towards Aunt Jiang, and said to her, "Okay, Miss Seven is still young, so you can go out with my wife to watch the ice lanterns."
Aunt Jiang was overjoyed, she quickly thanked her respectfully, and followed Madam Zhou out of Bingyue Pavilion.
