Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 189
Both Yao Cunhui and Ma Shi were a little stunned and couldn't believe it for a while.

"Hui'er, why don't you thank your father!" Shi Ma said with a sigh of relief.

Yao Cunhui was secretly angry, but he had no choice but to go forward and respectfully agree.

Master Yao waved his hand and went with Mrs. Ma and the others.

"Second miss, the servant girl knows that what happened today must not be the second miss's fault, please don't take it to heart." The fourth aunt looked at Yao Cunhui and said.

"My aunt really thinks so, so I feel relieved. If she just said this to stabilize my heart, I have nothing to say." Yao Cunhui sighed with a wry smile.

"Naturally I really think so!" The fourth aunt also sighed: "In this mansion, the master really loves the concubine, but he works outside, but the concubine lives in this big mansion all day long, and the concubine can rely on me." Only the Second Miss. If the Second Miss wanted to harm the concubine, she would not have reminded the concubine before, nor would she use such a conspicuous method, not to mention, Madam's behavior—"

Who can know Ma Shi's personality better than her who has served her by her side for ten years?
"Since you are a sensible person, I am relieved!" Yao Cunhui couldn't help feeling more sympathetic to Fourth Aunt, and said with a smile: "The baby will be born in less than a month. After the new year, we should arrange it." Steady lady! During these days, don’t be frightened by this matter, if you fail this time, no one will be so stupid to take another shot, you can relax and take good care of yourself, don’t scare yourself!”

The Fourth Aunt smiled and nodded, and couldn't help but frowned slightly: "For the matter of finding a stable wife, I also ask the Second Miss, and ask the Second Miss to help the concubine..."

During childbirth, any situation can happen, whether it is a dead body or two lives, or the child and the mother are abandoned. There are many experienced women who can make watertight. Just thinking about it makes people shudder.Both of them understood that Mrs. Ma should not miss this best opportunity to act, but the matter of finding a stable woman should have been arranged by the head mistress.

"When the time comes, I'll let Mama Rong watch from the sidelines. You can trust her old man, right?" Yao Cunhui laughed.

"Then thank you Second Miss!" Fourth Aunt felt relieved.

Everyone thought that Fourth Aunt's inadvertent fall today would lead to extremely serious consequences, and would plunge the Yao Mansion into a turmoil. They didn't want to solve it so quietly and peacefully, and let everyone wait and see. The people were very disappointed.

Mrs. Mao in the Tangli Courtyard was boring, and Mrs. Ma was also very bored, gnashing her teeth, not knowing how many times she and Qiao's mother scolded the little bitch.

At least Fourth Aunt should have been born prematurely, right?Who wants to bleed a little and be fine!

Could it be that the ancestors of the Yao family were really blessed by the spirits in heaven?Ma Shi shuddered, and immediately got rid of this absurd idea from his mind!

How did Mrs. Ma know that Yao Cunhui had already taught Si Yiniang how to react in case of an accident so as to protect the fetus to the maximum extent, Si Yiniang always kept it in mind!At the critical moment, he didn't forget it.

After the winter festival, preparations for the New Year’s countdown officially began, including cleaning, carving peach charms and hanging lanterns, preparing New Year’s etiquette, welcoming and seeing off relatives and friends, checking and collecting all kinds of wild game, melon and fruit specialties from various villages, and cutting for the servants. Making new clothes and preparing to reward Lin Lin with countless tedious matters to deal with, Mrs. Ma was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink tea, let alone trouble Yao Cunhui or Fourth Aunt.

Yao Cunhui not only sits at Si Yiniang's place and Yao Shizan's place every day, but also closes the door and enjoys himself in the Luomei Courtyard. It's rare for Yao Cunhui to spend a few days of comfortable and clean life.

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.

What Yao Cunhui didn't expect was that Master Yao actually called Zhao Jiyuan to his house to celebrate the New Year together.

When I met Zhao Jiyuan in a small plum grove outside the main courtyard, and heard him smiling and calling "Second Miss", Yao Cunhui was a little dazed, blinked her eyes and tried hard to make sure she wasn't dazzled.

"Second Miss, long time no see." Zhao Jiyuan smiled a little shyly, brushing the newly made navy blue round-neck gown with dark pattern, a decent smile on his thin lips.

"Young Master Zhao!" Yao Cunhui nodded slightly to him, still polite and distant.

Zhao Jiyuan was a little disappointed, he thought that Yao Cunhui treated him more or less differently after the last help, but who knows, it was still the same.

I haven't seen it for a few days, but I didn't expect this piece of plum blossoms to bloom so well, the rouge-like red color is very pleasing, Yao Cunhui accidentally caught a glimpse, and was about to pick a few branches for offering bottles, but unexpectedly ran into Zhao Jiyuan again.

"Second Miss, is she going to fold plum blossoms? Let me help you!" Zhao Jiyuan smiled and stepped forward, but felt a little dazed.

The woman in front of him was as cold as a plum, but also as delicate and beautiful as a plum. Every time he appeared in his line of sight, there was always a kind of magical power that firmly stuck his gaze, and he couldn't move it away.

Just like what I saw just now, she was wearing a red and gold embroidered fur cloak and a warm hat of the same color, standing under a tall red plum tree in full bloom, with her head slightly raised, revealing a smooth forehead and a soft profile On the face, there is a faint and soft smile, and the snow-white jade hands are climbing on the plum branches. The figure is pretty, the posture is elegant, and it looks like a picture of a beauty picking plums. The pulse of spring water, gurgling lightly.

He didn't want to disturb her at first, he just wanted to stand quietly behind her, admiring this picture of a beauty, and didn't want to make any mistake, but he walked to her side again.

"Thank you Mr. Zhao." Yao Cunhui smiled slightly, and took two steps back slightly.Red Polygonum hurriedly handed the warm hand stove to her arms.

Zhao Jiyuan came here as a guest, and he offered to help, if she refused, she would look petty.However, he is not very interested in the plum blossom in front of him.

"Which one does Second Miss want?" Zhao Jiyuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked with a smile.

"Mr. Zhao is free." Yao Cunhui lowered his head, and gently fiddled with the patterns on the stove with his fingertips.

"Miss, it's time for us to go in, and it's cold outside, miss be careful not to freeze!" Hong Liao added at the right time.

Zhao Jiyuan didn't hesitate anymore, after making a quick judgment, he neatly folded four branches that were in full bloom and in different postures, and handed them to Yao Cunhui.

"These few branches are not bad, Second Miss please."

"Thank you Mr. Zhao, I'll go first!" Yao Cunhui signaled Hong Liao to take it, then nodded slightly to Zhao Jiyuan, and the master and servant turned and walked away together.

Zhao Jiyuan propped one hand on the dark and strong plum, staring blankly at the two graceful figures leaving slowly, with a wry smile on his lips.Looking up at the blossoming red plums all over the tree, they are as beautiful and fragrant as before, but the shadow under the tree is missing, but it seems to have lost its soul.

At dinner time, when he saw Zhao Jiyuan was there, Mao still couldn't help but giggled, his half-smile eyes flashed between Zhao Jiyuan and Yao Cunhui, and he jokingly said, "Mr. Young master, don't be polite and restrained!"

Zhao Jiyuan smiled and bowed to her, polite and polite.

"Don't say a few words!" Master Yao frowned slightly and tugged on her sleeve.

Mrs. Ma immediately glanced at Master Yao, as if Master Yao had never heard of it, he was holding the hand of his precious son and talking with a smile.

"The dinner is about to be served, brothers and sisters, come and help me too!" Mrs. Ma was afraid that Mrs. Mao would say something ambiguous again, so she called her over with an affectionate smile.

Mr. Yao would bring Zhao Jiyuan home for the New Year's Eve, and Mrs. Ma was very disturbed.In her heart, Yao Cunhui must marry the Ma family, otherwise, sooner or later, the two of them will join hands, and she will have no place in this family!
"Okay, sister-in-law!" Mao smiled and never refused.

When the meal was served, everyone sat down and ate the New Year's Eve dinner lively.At the beginning of the year and the end of the year, everyone wants to seek auspiciousness, all intrigues and schemes are temporarily put aside, everyone has the most sincere smiles on their faces, and there is no accident after a meal.

After dinner, Master Yao, Mrs. Ma, Master Yao and others gave red envelopes to several children. Yao Cunhui and others thanked each with a smile, and sat in the hall talking and drinking tea.

The fourth aunt should not sit for a long time, so Yao Cunhui got up and took her back to the Liuhua Mountain House. Yao Shizan and Yao Shili clamored to set off fireworks, so Master Yao and Second Master Yao laughed and led them to the yard to set off.Ma Shi and Mao Shi asked the two ladies in charge to sit down and wipe their cards.The maids, mothers-in-law and servants also have their own places to go to have fun.Up and down, a lively scene.After the third watch, everyone dispersed and went back to rest.

As soon as Mao Shi and Master Yao returned to Tangliyuan, Mao Shi couldn't wait to open the red envelopes that Master Yao gave to the two children, each of which was 1000 taels!The husband and wife were a little overwhelmed with surprise for a moment.

"Big Brother, Big Brother won't make a mistake, right?" Mao looked at the four 500 tael banknotes in his hand, and couldn't say anything smoothly.

Master Yao has always loved his nephew and niece, but the red envelope in previous years was only 50 taels!

1000 taels is too abnormal.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Elder Yao glared at his wife angrily. The eldest brother deals with money and banknotes every day, so how can he be dazzled and take the wrong one?joke!
"Don't you understand?" Elder Yao sighed, "Big Brother lent the hands of two children to us! I knew that Big Brother would never leave me alone! Don't talk about Big Brother anymore.

"When did I tell you that your elder brother is wrong?" Mrs. Mao muttered unconvinced, holding the bank note in her hand, her heart was full of joy, who cares what the second master Yao said?I had been thinking about how to allocate the money, and my mood, which had been depressed for many days, suddenly became brighter.

In the early morning of the next day, the butler led all the servants to kowtow to pay New Year's greetings, and happily received the red envelopes.Master Yao and Second Master Yao led the family members of the whole family to burn incense and worship in the ancestral hall, and then went out to the rice shop.

This is the annual routine of the Yao family's rice shop. For the shopkeepers who stay behind at the rice shop, the owner needs to visit and greet them in person, and rewards are naturally indispensable.There are also shopkeeper Hao, Lin accountant and several core shopkeepers who are in charge, and they also need to visit in person.
