The beauty of the lady

Chapter 70: Housewarming (1)
That night, Mrs. Zhao went to bed very early. After all, she had been in the carriage for several days. Although her body was fine, she still felt tired.

On the morning of the second day, all the people in the Zhou Mansion gathered in the front hall to pay respects to the Patriarch and Mistress of the Zhou family.

Seeing this couple, everyone probably had the same thoughts in their hearts as Zhou Mei did back then.

How could this gentle and gentle looking lady marry the master?
She didn't know how Mrs. Zhao disciplined her servants. At this time, Zhou Mei was leading Zhou Tang to explore in the backyard.

"There hasn't been anything serious at home these past few months, right?" Zhou Mei took her younger brother's little hand and walked from the artificial cave to the water corridor outside.

Zhou Tang's little head shook from side to side, as if he felt that his eyes were not enough to see. It was a bit dark in the fake cave, even though there was a lantern lighting every few steps.

"It's nothing, except that the two aunts went to Fucheng for two days last month, and then they were sent away by the mother."

"What are they going to Fucheng for?" Zhou Mei murmured in her heart.

Zhou Tang thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know, it seems that I asked my parents for money, but my parents didn't give it to them. When I went back, it was our carriage that took me back."

At this point, Zhou Mei didn't continue to ask. Zhou Tang was still young, and the Zhao family would not let him know about this kind of thing. Zhou Mei was satisfied to be able to ask this little information.

When Xianglan came over, it was already noon. She was sent by Mrs. Zhao to call them over for lunch.

When the siblings came to the Sandalwood Courtyard, the meals had already been set.

"Hungry, let's eat quickly." Mrs. Zhao greeted the two of them.

After cleaning their hands under the maid's service, the whole family gathered together and had their first meal in the new home.

"Father, most of the family business is clear to Le Zhao. Last night, mother told me that it is no problem for father to look at the accounts now, so in the future, father will take care of our family's business. At the end of the year, I will Help dad look at the ledger, and for the rest of the time, I want to be by mother's side."

Settling in the capital, Zhou Tang is excited, Zhou Zhuang must be apprehensive, and the one who is palpitating is his own mother. She wants to spend more time with her. Women in this era marry too early, who knows? How long can I stay with her.

Zhou Zhuang nodded: "You're right, don't worry too much about business matters, if you encounter something you don't understand, Dad will discuss it with you."

"What about me?" Zhou Tang was unwilling to lag behind.

"You just study. I will hire a gentleman for you in a few days. You have to study hard, you know?"

"How is Brother Bi Shuo's wife? Sister, I have finished reading the Three Character Classic with Master Xu, and now I am reading Hundred Family Surnames, and I have also learned a little bit of Thousand Character Classic."

When Zhou Mei heard this, her eyes widened immediately, "Have you learned so much?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Tang nodded proudly, "When I was at home, my mother also taught me a lot, and my mother also asked for a wife."

"Don't worry, the master will lead you in, and the practice is up to you. In short, you should work hard on your own."

After lunch, Wednesday Zhuang asked Qian Hong to lead him around the mansion. Although he wandered around for half an afternoon yesterday, he still didn't finish it. He said just now that he couldn't even have a place in his home Know.

Mrs. Zhao moved to Donghua Hall with her two children. It is now August and the weather is as hot as a steamer. cool.

Because the mansion had just been repaired, there was no time to prepare the so-called ice cubes. Fortunately, there was more than half of the lake in the backyard, and it was cool to open the windows at night.

In front of the window near the lake, the boy had already laid out pens and paper for Zhou Tang. The little guy was picking up a pen and practicing calligraphy. I haven't seen him for a few months. His handwriting has improved a lot, and the posture of holding the pen is also very decent.

"Mother, Zhou Tang misses you at the first glance. She is smart in reading, and her handwriting has gradually acquired the character of her mother." Zhao's handwriting is elegant, full of arrogance, soft and firm, even if she doesn't know calligraphy well, It also seems to be seen that this is almost self-contained.

The more she gets to know this mother, the more Zhou Mei feels sorry for her. Although she has a gentle temper, she is resolute, she is also beautiful, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Became the female supporting role among female supporting roles.

Mrs. Zhao looked up at her son from the thread, with a gentle smile on her lips: "This is what he is willing to learn. You are all mother's proudest children."

"That's because mother taught well." Zhou Mei smiled delicately, then looked at her, and asked softly: "Since you have entered Beijing, why don't mother go to An Guogong's mansion?"

"Of course I'm going, let's wait a few days." She was also afraid, which is the so-called timidity of being close to home.

Now the Chengbeihou Mansion has nothing to do with her, but the An Guogong Mansion is still her mother's family, and her grandmother and grandfather love her a lot, but thinking about everything that happened in these years, it really feels like time has changed.

An Guogong Mansion, Shouxi Hall, the old lady is sitting on a soft couch, leaning on the big aster flower pillow, chatting with her daughter Xuan Yunyan and her daughter-in-law and granddaughter who have just returned to her natal home.

"Yan'er, this is your third child. Looking at your pointed belly, you might be a fat kid again." Mrs. Xiao, the Duke's wife, smiled very unhappy.

Xuan Yunyan gently stroked her swollen belly, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I already have two sons, and I hope this one will be as caring as Rong'er."

Upon hearing this, the old lady looked at her daughter, squeezed the hand of her granddaughter Xuan Qingrong who was sitting next to her, and said with a smile: "Don't be like a little monkey like Rong'er, she is very naughty, but she has made your sister-in-law bother."

"Grandmother, how can you say that about your own granddaughter? Rong'er loves grandma so much, doesn't grandma know? Besides, be careful that Rong'er doesn't make lotus cake for grandma." Xuan Qingrong is 12 years old this year. Shao Ling is nine years younger, and the Duke's Mansion has no concubines, so there are no so-called concubines and concubines. As the only concubine, she is naturally held in the hands of everyone in the mansion, and she has a bit of a hot temper. Too naive to understand the sufferings of the world.

"Listen, this little monkey is still cute?" The old lady nodded her brows, "It was useless for your aunt to praise you just now, but now he is threatening grandma."

"That's why grandma loves Rong'er."

Over there, Mrs. Guogong is carefully talking to my sister about the precautions during pregnancy. Although she is now the mother of two children, as a sister-in-law, she personally manages her marriage and personally watches her get married. The happiness of life is also inherited by the husband's family after giving birth to heirs, and in the husband's family, the parents-in-law loves it, and the husband loves it. It is said that the husband also had two concubines at the beginning, but since he married the sister-in-law, he no longer loves it, but only wholeheartedly. Treating her made Xiao very happy. He was talking about the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law, but in fact it was more like a sister.
