He gave Zhu Ying an idea and asked Ah Liu to guard the gate. However, Zhang Shou strolled around to the back door of his house. When he pushed it and saw that the back door was motionless, he knew it was locked, so he looked at the tree next to him.
Big tree.
Zhang Xiaolangjun, who looked elegant and handsome in appearance, actually climbed up the tree in twos and twos by using the trunk of the tree. Then he climbed up the wall of his house and landed in the backyard gently and skillfully. He did not care at all that others would be shocked if he saw this scene.
How many eyeballs did you lose?
Seeing that there was a lot of dust on his hands, he slowly went to the water tank to scoop water and washed his hands, and then quietly slipped into the hall through the middle door.
Finding that everyone was gathered in the front yard, he sat down on the main seat in a grand manner, and then consciously entered the theater-watching mode.
There was silence in the outer courtyard at this moment.
In fact, there are so many people in this small place that there is nowhere to stay, which is indeed in line with Zhao’s mother’s complaints.
Three lively horses, three horse slaves all dressed in the same outfit, and then four people whose clothes are slightly simpler than those of Zhan Jin and Liu Yin. They are also obviously two years younger. Their faces are a little childish, but they try to stand straight and clean.
A cheerful little girl.
Behind Mother Zhao, who was just looking for trouble, were two maids who were trying to stop her. Although their clothes and decorations were much simpler than those of Mother Zhao, they looked more elegant.
In addition, there are two guards, Zhu Hong and Zhu Yu, who were here last time, and twelve other guards of the same size.
In addition to Zhu Ying who just came in to talk to Mrs. Wu, a pair of big girls with beautiful eyes, old Liu Tou and Aunt Liu and his wife, and Ah Liu who was guarding the door without a presence, there were nearly thirty people and three horses in total.
Maybe it doesn’t look crowded?
Zhang Shou couldn't help but murmur a little. Although Zhu Ying's wet nurse said something unpleasant, looking at the way so many people are crowded here, the battle to take the eldest lady back home is huge!
At this moment, Zhu Ying, who seemed to have no one else coming in but only talked to Mrs. Wu, used her clear attitude to turn the courtyard, which was noisy like a market, into a silent classroom. Compared to Mrs. Wu, who was flattered, she was completely ignored.
Mother Zhao’s face is really full of colors and wonderful.
Mrs. Wu had already somewhat figured out Zhu Ying's character. After coming back to her senses in surprise, she quickly smiled and said: "Today's lunch is Thousand Layer Meat Pancakes and Sour Soup Dumplings. The soup is Jade Belt Soup, and there is also sweet lotus seed soup stewed in the pot.
, if you like, eat something sweet after a meal or after a nap."
"Okay." Zhu Ying smiled and nodded, "A Shou is back too, so let's eat first."
Ah Shou is back? Why is he nowhere to be seen?
Mrs. Wu was puzzled, but Zhu Ying was so steadfast in her words. After thinking about it for a while, she didn't question it, so she nodded and said: "We were delayed like this just now. The dumplings have not been cooked yet, and the meatloaf has not been cooked yet."
After frying, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."
As she spoke, she pulled Aunt Liu hard, and dragged away the cook who almost had a huge quarrel with Mother Zhao, but seemed to have forgotten her job. As for Old Liu, this cunning and cunning disciple saw that he was not able to perform well on his own.
He immediately ran away with his mistress and daughter-in-law.
It was only then that Zhu Ying turned around and faced the people who came to Zhao Guogong's mansion today. Under her stern gaze, no one knew how many people lowered their heads. But the next moment, she inadvertently glanced at the hall.
Then he discovered that Zhang Shouzheng was sitting steadily on the main seat, and when he noticed that she looked over, he even winked at her with a smile.
She couldn't help but look at him a few more times, who was the only one who noticed it. Then she withdrew her gaze and ordered condescendingly: "Zhan Jin and Liu Yin are the ones I sent here by name. Xiao Hong and the two horses are here."
Also, as for the carriage outside, there are probably boxes and cages that I have carried. I only need these people and things, and everyone else should go back."
Mother Zhao couldn't bear it anymore. She rushed forward and shouted in a tearful voice: "My eldest lady, when did you ever live in such a dirty place in the countryside! What the hell is this engagement?"
That's just deceiving. Do you want all the rich ladies in the capital to laugh at you? If Madam were still here..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Ying shouted directly to the two steady servants behind her: "Mother Li, Mother Jiang, grandma sent you two here just to embarrass my wet nurse here?"
Seeing Zhu Yin's face darken, she was obviously really angry. Mother Zhao panicked and sat down on the ground, already crying: "Oh my god, I have served my wife for so many years and worked hard to feed her."
It’s so big…”
The next moment, a ball of rags completely stuffed the second half of her words back into her mouth. Mother Jiang, who had been as quiet as a virgin just now, moved like a rabbit, apologetically bowed her knees to Zhu Ying, and then neatly cut Zhao Ying's back.
Mother's arm directly dragged the person away.
Mother Li hurriedly rushed forward, bowed deeply, and explained with fear: "Miss, please forgive me, Mrs. Zhao led four people to intercept us halfway and follow us forcefully. That was on the street, she kept saying
The eldest lady is her lifeblood, how can she live outside. We were afraid of causing trouble on the streets of the capital, so we had no choice but to take her with us."
As she spoke, she glanced at the guards. In an instant, she saw that among the burly men behind Zhu Hong and Zhu Yu, someone suddenly took action. After a while, four of them were pinned to the ground by the remaining eight.
, was gagged, tied up tightly, and then escorted out of the yard together with Zhao’s mother, who was frightened and angry but unable to struggle.
All these things happened in a short moment. After a while, a large area of the courtyard that was crowded with people just now became empty.
Looking at this scene that was as flipping as flipping through a book, Zhang Shou couldn't help but rub his chin gently.
He just said, there is indeed something fishy!
I heard the girl next to Zhu Ying just now say that Mother Zhao led someone to stop the car today and forced her to follow her. Now looking at the hard work of the servant girl outside, it is just a piece of cake to stop Zhu Ying's wet nurse. The four guards
They are no match for the eight guards of the Duke's Mansion. If they really don't want to bring them here, why would they need Zhu Ying's words just now to make them deal with them?
Do you want to tell Zhu Ying that life in the countryside is not so quiet and comfortable, and annoying people may come and disturb you at any time?
So the next step should be to ask this young lady to go back home quickly, right? Well, that must be the case!
Seeing that Zhu Ying had a sullen face and remained silent, Mother Li continued: "Miss, you stay here. Madam Tai was worried at first, but now you only leave pure gold and liquid silver, and spread the word, wouldn't people think that
Duke Zhao's mansion can't even provide the manpower to serve the eldest lady?"
"Furthermore, others can instigate the eldest lady and your wet nurse to come over and cause trouble, and they may send other people over to make trouble. Please eldest lady, please understand the madam's hard work. In addition to Zhanjin and Liuyin, let these four hard-working little girls do the work."
Let’s do some chores and leave Zhu Yu, Zhu Hong and the others as guards. This way we can be safer and won’t cause the host’s family any trouble like just now.”
At this moment, Zhang Shou couldn't believe his ears
Zhu Ying stayed yesterday and asked for a lot of things. The two guards Zhu Hong and Zhu Yu could not object. This can also be explained as the eldest lady was too willful. They really had no choice, so they hurried back to report.
But looking at the current situation, the lady in the Duke's Mansion not only plans to keep Zhu Ying at his place, but also uses the incident just now to increase the manpower. Is she planning to turn her temporary residence into a permanent residence?
Are you kidding me? Even if they are engaged, they are only an "unmarried" couple, not a husband and wife!
Zhu Ying was so happy to be persuaded by her mother Li so considerately. She used to feel that her grandmother could understand her heart best. Now it seems that this is more than understanding. If her grandmother were here now, she could not wait to hold her and call her "grandmother"
Long live!
At this time, she heard Zhang Shou's voice: "The eldest lady lives in the country, and the lady in the house is really worried."
