Chapter 2 Zi Luo meets the third wife

After talking about what she needs to do on weekdays, Zhu'er roughly introduced the situation at home.

"The master now has two wives, the eldest wife, and the third wife. A second wife died of illness after having children a year. The eldest wife has one son named Zhao Qingxuan and one daughter named Zhao Yulin. She has already married. The second wife has a son named Zhao Qingwen. The third wife has one son and one daughter named Zhao Qingjun and Zhao Xingxue respectively."

Zhuier took a sip of tea and stood up, took out a long light green silk dress from her bag and handed it to her.

"You go and change your clothes and follow me to see the third lady."

Zi Luo retreated into the screen and changed into clothes, and followed Zhu'er out of the door.

"In short, you should be quicker to do things and more clever."

Zhu'er was still telling Zi Luo while walking.

As the butler said, their residence was very close to the place where the wife lived. When they went out, they walked around a small pavilion and walked through a small corridor to the villa of the third lady.

The third lady was happy with flowers. When she stood outside the door, she saw the colorful flowers in the yard and could smell the intoxicating fragrance of flowers.

Zi Luo was a little nervous. Zhu'er had already walked into the yard, and she was still looking inside at the door.

"Don't be afraid, I'm still there." Zhu'er smiled.

Ziluo nodded and speeded up. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw peony flowers as big as a bowl, graceful and luxurious. Inside were pure lilies, followed by gorgeous azaleas, with stars-like forsythias dotted among them.

Zi Luo couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, and was also full of curiosity about the third wife.

A maid who was sprinkling water saw Zhu'er and bowed to her.

"This is two months, this is Zi Luo, who is here to serve his wife."

Zhu'er introduced each other, and the two saluted each other. Without doing too much, they walked into the house one after another.

The sun was just right at this time, and the room was bright. Zi Luo lowered his head and looked at Zhuier's heel because of his nervousness, and moved forward with small steps.

"Madam, this is the new maid named Zi Luo."

When Zi Luo heard Zhuier talking, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"I have met my wife Ziluo."

"Raise your head."

A lazy voice came into my ears. Zi Luo straightened his back and slowly looked up, and then he found that the third lady was sitting in front of the dressing table with her back facing her. There was a bronze mirror on the dressing table, and the lady was raising her hand to adjust the position of the hairpin between her hair.

Zi Luo looked at the face in the mirror as if she was lost, with melon-shaped face, willow-leaf eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, long eyelashes and slightly upturned eyes, thin nose bridge, and slightly thick lips. Although she only applied a little thin powder, even the peony flowers in the vase on the dressing table were not as charming as her.

"Well, this girl looks good and I will not treat you badly."

After saying that, he touched a lily silver hairpin in the jewelry box and threw it in front of her, then got up, and Zhuer hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Madam Xie, I will definitely serve my wife well."

Zi Luo kowtowed and stood up. When he heard Zhuier shouting Lan Yu, she noticed that there was still a maid in the room just now. She was wiping the ash on the cabinet with a rag and was walking towards this side.

"I'm Lan Yu, for you, let's clean the house first."

Zi Luo took the rag from Lan Yu's hand and was busy doing the work.

"Madam, this is the cloth rewarded by the Queen Mother. The master ordered me to send it."

While hearing the sound, I saw the butler bowing to the third wife with a maid. There were two rolls of fabric between the maid’s arms, one was dark purple and the other was dark green.

"Did you go to the eldest lady first?"

There was a little anger in the third lady's voice.

"Yes, the eldest lady said that with the beauty of the third lady, it would be fine if it was not used for those gorgeous colors."

With a "touch", the ceramic slag of the teacup fell at Zi Luo's feet. Zi Luo shivered suddenly and the rag almost fell. Looking at Lan Yu next to him, he was not afraid at all, so he took a broom to clean up the residue on the ground.

"Hmph, she is old and beautiful, so she should dress up, but she is afraid of wasting such a good color."

For a moment, there was a silence in the house.

"Let it go." The third lady was fiddling with the flowers on the windowsill, as if she was talking to them.

"Yes." The butler ordered the maid to hand the fabric to Zhu'er, and then bowed and left.

"Zhu'er, take it to make clothes according to the size of the eldest lady another day."

"Yes, madam."

Zi Luo's heartbeat was so fierce that she just kept working silently and didn't even dare to look over there.

It was not until the old lady who was delivering food in the kitchen that Lan Yu asked her to serve her wife with Shuangyue for dinner that she looked up at the third lady, wearing a light pink gold silk embroidered skirt, a peony golden hairpin embroidered with gems, and her hair bun was loosely tied behind her head, giving people the feeling that it was not tacky but amazing.

Lan Yu skillfully brought out the food in the food box and placed it on the table. Zi Luo also followed her slowly. After all, it was her first time serving her wife for dinner, and no one blamed her.

But the red prawns and tender sea bass on the table were teasing Zi Luo from time to time, and she unconsciously swallowed several saliva.

But she was well aware of the rules in the mansion that they could only leave and eat when the master finished his meal and rested.

"Mom, I'm here to have a free meal."

Before the voices were seen, I could only hear the cheerful sounds coming from the yard outside the house.

"It's a lady." Zhu'er said to the third lady with a happy expression on his face.

Sure enough, Zi Luo saw a girl walking in, with a melon-shaped face like the third wife, peach blossom eyes, wearing a light yellow long skirt, a jade pendant on her waist, and the red tassels swaying left and right with the girl's cheerful steps, and a hairpin with butterflies flying between her hair, which was filled with a youthful atmosphere.

Zi Luo couldn't help but feel envious, she was obviously the same age.

Lan Yu went to the cabinet and took the new bowls and chopsticks in front of the lady. Zhu'er was peeling shrimps for the third wife, while Shuangyue served the lady soup, while Zi Luo carefully picked out the fish bones with a small plate.

"Xingxue, you are here at the right time. Today I have your favorite shrimp." The third lady smiled happily and put the shrimp that had just been peeled into Xingxue's bowl.

Zi Luo lowered her head and put the fish that had been picked up after she had picked the thorns in front of her. She was trying hard to hold back her tears and took a deep breath, trying to get rid of the scene in her mind where her mother picked up food for her.

"Where is your brother?" The third lady glanced at Xingxue.

"It's probably still sleeping." Xingxue replied casually.

"Pa" chopsticks were slapped on the table.

"Zhu'er, please order someone to ask the young master to come over." The third lady suppressed her anger.

"Yes." Zhu'er wiped his hands on the wet cloth and stepped out.

Until the meal was finished, the third young master did not come. The third wife allowed them to go back to have dinner first, so Lan Yu and the other two bowed and retreated.

After walking outside the yard, Lan Yu said to Zi Luo: "Zhu'er is a personal maid, she eats and lives in the wing room in the yard."

Suddenly Zi Luo saw their frozen expressions and bowed his knees.

"Three Young Masters."

Zi Luo, who came to his senses, hurriedly followed him to salute.

"Is this a new maid?" Zi Luo, who lowered his head, heard a magnetic voice first, and the next second, a finger raised his chin hard, and a handsome face reflected into Zi Luo's pupils.

"Yes, the maid in the new wife's room is Zi Luo." Lan Yu's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"Zi Luo, the name is good and looks good, hahaha." The third young master walked past them with inexplicable laughter.

I hope you like it and support it more. Thank you
