The next day it was just cloudy and it didn't snow.
But Cen Yunchu and Jiang Nuan still came to Zheng's house as promised.
According to etiquette, they should go visit the old lady and his wife.
But Mrs. Fang didn't want to see anyone at this time, and the old lady was ill, so Xu Chunjun took care of her.
"Sister Xu, why have you lost so much weight after not seeing me for half a month?" Jiang Nuan immediately pulled Xu Chunjun and asked with concern as soon as he saw her.
"I've been sick for a few days," Xu Chunjun said lightly, "I've just recovered in the past few days."
"You work too hard," Cen Yunchu said, "even if your body is made of iron, you may not be able to endure it. I advise you to stop in moderation. You will be the most noble at any time."
"I would like to listen to my teachings, my Miss Cen. It's cold outside. Come inside. I asked them to marinate the venison, roe deer meat, and fresh mutton. Let's grill the meat and eat it." Xu Chunjun held their hands together.
Go inside.
"Don't tell me, I'm really craving for wine these days. Barbecue and soju are perfect for the current weather." Cen Yunchu said with a smile, "Mr. Chun knows me."
"You're not the only one who likes barbecue, don't I also like it? Maybe you've benefited from me!" Jiang Nuan met her, and they couldn't say more than three words without starting a quarrel.
"I've prepared everything you two like to eat." Xu Chunjun was in a good mood when he heard the two of them bickering. "There are also pancakes spread out!"
"Are there any green onions?" Jiang Nuan's eyes lit up.
"Why not?" Xu Chunjun said, "I remember you told me that when you were at your aunt's house, you liked to wrap the barbecue with pancakes, which has a unique flavor."
"Jiang Atuan, you have been thinking about pancakes rolled with green onions all day long. When the time comes to talk to Zong Tianbao, don't offend him with your first words." Cen Yunchu covered his mouth and smiled evilly.
When she teases people, she is also very charming.
"Stop laughing at me! When you get married, I will send you green onions every day. Not only to you, but also to Young Master Chen Qi, so that none of you will dislike the other." Jiang Nuan laughed loudly after saying this.
"Anyway, you are getting married before me, so what should I be afraid of?"
The three of them entered the house chatting and laughing. Lvchun and the others had already prepared tea and fruit drinks. They smiled and greeted Cen Yunchu and Jiang Nuan.
"Why don't you see Sister Ziling?" Jiang Nuan asked.
Xu Chunjun then told Zi Ling that she was pregnant.
Everyone was very happy. Among the three of them, only Ziling, the personal maid, was married now. They got along well with each other on weekdays, and they were all happy for her.
"Lu Shen, please stop waiting around. Take Fulan Lingdang and the others to Zi Ling's house to sit down. It's on the back street anyway."
Lu Shu agreed and led Cen Yunchu and Jiang Nuan's two maids out.
Here, Xu Chunjun and the three of them were sitting and talking, and they all asked the servants to go out.
"Why are all your family members sick?" Cen Yunchu was a little surprised.
"Although family scandals should not be made public, you two and I really have nothing to hide." Xu Chunjun smiled softly and said, "A lot of things have happened in our family in the past half month."
Then I talked about Zhang Tingzhi, but of course I kept the Fang family part hidden.
Glutinous rice
It's not that he deliberately concealed it, but as Fang's elder, Xu Chunjun always wanted to save face for her.
"This person surnamed Zhang is so shameless!" Jiang Nuan was furious when he heard this, "If I were here, I would beat her and vomit blood! She and Zheng Wuji have been cousins for more than ten years, why didn't she give her the gift so early?
Cousin as a concubine? I have to wait until you, the real wife, come and live a decent life, but she comes to interfere! But she is not satisfied yet, and she actually wants to be the main wife. "
"This Zhang Tingzhi deserves to die, but there may not be people like her in the future. Whether it's Chunjun or the two of us, we have to be more careful." Cen Yunchu said while sipping tea slowly.
"Ah, what should I do?" Jiang Nuan panicked upon hearing this, "You two have a lot of tricks up their sleeves, but I can't do it! If this happens, I will definitely let her plot.
"
"It's good that you have such self-awareness." Cen Yunchu said with a smile, "He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise. You are not too confused."
"A Nuan, you don't have to worry too much. For one thing, the Zong family is different from the Zheng family. The master and his wife in his family are both shrewd and will definitely avoid a lot of trouble for you. Besides, Zong Tianbao is different from our uncle. Like us
How many uncles can be so ridiculous?" When Xu Chunjun told Jiang Nuan like this, she felt a lot calmer.
"You don't have to worry in advance, this kind of thing is just a matter of showing off." Cen Yunchu looked at Jiang Nuan and said with a smile, "Besides, aren't there still two of us?"
In fact, Xu Chunjun and Cen Yunchu rarely gave Jiang Nuan advice. It wasn't that they didn't want to help her, but Jiang Nuan was too straightforward.
Her stepmother and Jiang Qing occasionally used small tricks on her, but they didn't hurt her fundamentals.
Except for that time when Jiang Qing and Meng Qiao deliberately threw dirty water on her, and Cen Yunchu and Xu Chunjun took action, the others turned a blind eye.
Because she told Jiang Nuan, she would probably overreact.
In this way, it is self-defeating.
It's like a three-year-old child. People around her occasionally starve her for half a meal, but the evaluation of taking care of everyone is not too excessive.
But if you hand a knife to her hand, those people might cause her to stab herself with the knife.
Even if she wins once or twice in small things, with her stepmother's rank, she will only be on guard against her.
It's not as good as this. Although you may suffer a small loss occasionally, it doesn't hurt in the end.
"Yes! As long as you get married smoothly, there is nothing to worry about in the future. Your father and your stepmother will also look down upon you considering your husband's family. Isn't that the case now?" Xu Chunjun laughed.
Ask Jiang Nuan.
"That's true, they are really nice to me now." Jiang Nuan is a sincere person and will not say anything against his will.
"What's more, my predecessor met Cui Mingzhu again on the street." Cen Yunchu said.
"Now that she has seen you, is she still causing trouble for you?" Jiang Nuan asked quickly.
"Of course she was unhappy when she saw me, but she won't be as sarcastic as before. She also knows that I don't like her! In addition, Miss Cui Si's life now is probably not as good as before." Cen Yunchu said, "
Since her brother went crazy, his father has taken in several aunts one after another. So far, two of them have given birth to boys."
"Cui Baoyu is crazy. Of course, it is impossible for his family's title to be passed on to him." Xu Chunjun nodded and said.
Just as Aunt Huang was asking for a meeting outside, Xu Chunjun asked her to come in and reply.
Aunt Huang was ordered to go to Zhang's house to watch. When she saw someone else in the house, she said to Xu Chunjun: "I have nothing else to say to grandma. I just sent someone from the Zhang family to ask if the eldest girl in their family has any disease."
Already."
"I understand, remember to send some tributes there." Xu Chunjun said.
Outsiders don't know the real cause of Zhang Tingzhi's death, so they still have to make superficial efforts.
