In the next few days, Chu Yunli went to the mountain to kneel and pray every morning, and did not return until late at night. Naturally, she took the young master with her, while Lianyue stayed at home and was watched over by Mrs. Zhou.
Soon, seven days passed. Chu Yunli didn't have to go up the mountain. Originally, he didn't think of reminding the old lady. At worst, he would stay there for a few more days and wait for the family to remember before taking her back. But in the afternoon of the seventh day,
She had already boarded the carriage, and the woman beside the old lady ran out and told the coachman, "You will send the young master back early tomorrow morning."
The carriage driver responded, and Chu Yunli lowered her eyes. After tonight, she and Lianyue would be separated.
During the past few days, Lianyue had been drinking rice porridge, which was specially made from white rice. It was boiled until it was thick and sticky. After a few days, her face seemed to be rounder. Of course, the money she spent was just those ten taels.
Even though there was meat and vegetables every day, we only spent more than three taels in seven days.
In the evening, Chu Yunli said that she would go back tomorrow, but Zhou was quite reluctant to do so. She had been making soup every day for the past few days. Chu Yunli could not finish a whole chicken, so the rest was eaten by her family.
If this were to leave, she would definitely be reluctant to stew it.
Besides, this silver... She put the remaining six taels of silver on the table.
In fact, the old lady meant that all the money belonged to the Zhou family and should be treated as a thank you gift for taking care of the two of them. Chu Yunli said that if she took good care of them, the money would all be hers. But she was also used to asking Zhou
How much the Zhou family spent every day, even if the Zhou family spent some money, they both knew how much was left.
Looking at the silver on the table, Chu Yunli felt that he couldn't give it all to her, so he stretched out his hand and took out two taels and gave it to her, saying, "These are for this month, I will bring them again next month today. But there is one thing, the child has to eat
The rice must be white rice. I know white rice is expensive, but she can’t eat much for a child. One tael of silver is enough, and you have to take good care of it. To be honest, I don’t even have two taels of silver a month. I really
Treat this child as my goddaughter. If I find that you have not taken good care of her, I will take her away immediately. I will give her two taels a month. I believe many people are willing to help me raise her carefully."
After beating her for a while, Chu Yunli let her carry the child out.
The next morning, Chu Yunli took a carriage back to the city. After running around for a long time, she finally arrived at the mansion. She had just finished feeding the child and had not yet changed her clothes. The maid who brought her food brought her food and said, "It's time to eat.
"
Chu Yunli responded and changed the child's clothes. The maid did not send the child away as usual and left. She stood aside and said, "In the past two days, someone has come to you, claiming to be your...husband, saying that he is from home.
Someone is sick and needs money urgently. You're not here, so I can't help even if I want to. I've been here today, and maybe I'll come again tomorrow."
Good to come!
Chu Yunli responded and started to eat. Living in a farmer's house these days was actually not as comfortable as living in a house. Besides, she couldn't sleep at all the first night. In the following days, she knelt down every day and even had to do it in the morning.
I woke up early and my body was actually very tired.
She leaned on the soft couch and fell asleep. She took the young master with her. She didn't eat bad things at all. She also ate well, so the child was well raised. Not to mention he wasn't sick. He ate twice in the night.
She no longer moans and cries, and she feels much more relaxed.
In the morning, the old lady was not here, so she didn't have to go to say hello. Just after breakfast, the maid came in again and said, "Your lady is here again. She said she is in a hurry and will go back today."
Chu Yunli hummed, "Then help me look at it for a while."
At this moment, the child fell asleep. The maid took one look at it, nodded and said, "Go and come back quickly."
Chu Yunli went to the side door mentioned by the maid, and she saw Chen Dafu, who was wearing commoner clothes and was a little fat, standing at the door, rubbing his hands anxiously. After seeing her, his face lit up and said, "Qiu Niang."
"Why are you here?" Chu Yunli walked over and saw that he had already walked out. It seemed that he wanted to stay away from the side door to talk, because there was a woman guarding the door. But she did not follow and stood at the door.
Nei, shouting, "Where are you going?"
Chen Dafu had no choice but to turn around and walked up to him again. As he approached, he smelled of alcohol and stretched out his hand to hold her hand.
Chu Yunli avoided, "Is my daughter okay?"
Chen Dafu did not answer, but frowned and asked, "You dislike me? Don't forget that I found this job for you, and I am your man!" As he spoke, he extended his hand again.
Chu Yunli took a step back and lowered her voice, "No, I am taking the young master with me. If I get too close to others... I will lose my job."
Chen Dafu thought it made sense at first, but when he realized it, he frowned sternly, "You still fucking dislike me! How come I'm going to lose my job if I touch you?" He leaned closer and lowered his voice, "It's been almost a month.
If you don't see me, you don't want to..."
Think about it!
Chu Yunli stretched out her hand to push, took a few steps back, and already returned to the door. She asked solemnly, "Where is my daughter?"
She entered the house. Chen Dafu was afraid of the old woman next to him and did not dare to go in again. Seeing that she was really annoyed, he sighed, "My daughter is well at home. There is no rice. Please hurry up and give me some money to buy rice."
.Also, dad is sick and has a cold, so he needs money to treat his illness."
Seeing him talking about his daughter's lack of rice with a natural expression, Chu Yunli sneered in her heart, "I want to see my daughter."
Chen Dafu seemed to have endless patience, "My daughter is still young. I will definitely bring her to see you next time I come." He stretched out his hand, "Come out quickly and let's talk."
Chu Yunli went out and followed him out of the back door to the outside of the house. The alley to the back door of the Lu family was specially separated. Except for the servants of the Lu family and their family members, this road was basically empty.
Someone will come.
Away from the mother-in-law, Chen Dafu reached out to pull her, and his mouth that smelled of wine came up to her. Chu Yunli raised his hand and slapped her hard.
With a "pop", Chen Dafu woke up a little from his drunkenness, and with a ferocious face, he asked, "What the hell do you mean?" He raised his hand and hit him.
Chu Yunli raised her foot and kicked his calf. Chen Dafu was tripped and fell to the ground. Then she kicked him in the stomach so hard that the obese man rolled around due to her kick.
Before Chen Dafu could react, he fell down and was kicked in the stomach. A sharp pain hit him. He raised his eyes fiercely, and his eyes happened to meet a delicate embroidered shoe.
Chu Yunli kicked him hard several times, and when he saw that he was about to shout, he picked up the stick on the side and hit his mouth hard, knocking out two teeth.
"You don't care about Qiu Yang..." He looked horrified.
Chu Yunli sneered, "If you dare to come to me again in the future, I will beat you to death and throw you into the Ji River."
She approached step by step. Chen Dafu clutched his stomach, hunched over and ran away.
Seeing him running away, Chu Yunli did not chase him. When he returned to the side door, he saw the maid hurried over and said, "Hurry up, the young master is awake and crying."
In the afternoon, when the child was asleep, Chu Yunli was leaning on the soft couch and squinting, but the door was pushed open, and the person who walked in was Mrs. Zhao.
She stepped in slowly and walked directly to the bed, "I'm here to take a look at the child."
Chu Yunli stood up, walked to the bed and picked up the child. Because she moved too fast, she even squeezed her.
Zhao's face turned ugly, "What do you mean?"
"The young master should pee at this hour." Chu Yunli picked him up and unswaddled him, "Second wife, it's better to avoid it. This smell is not good."
Mrs. Zhao looked ugly and retreated outside.
The child has just fallen asleep, where does the diaper need to be changed? Chu Yunli just didn't want her to get close to the child. After groping for a long time, she went out and said, "Second Madam, the young master is asleep."
Mrs. Zhao covered her mouth, frowned and asked, "This house is so strange, why didn't you light some incense?"
There is no smell at all in this house. Although there are children, they are well-kept and there are people who wash clothes. It’s just that there is no fragrance like other houses. Chu Yunli’s eyelids twitched, “The young master doesn’t like it.
If the person holding him has a scent, he will put it all away."
"Nonsense." Ms. Zhao was angry, "What if the smell smells like this to my mother? Start lighting it up quickly. If you don't...the Lu family likes obedient servants. There are many women in the world who can breastfeed their children.
very."
After saying that, he raised his chin slightly, rolled up his sleeves and left.
Maid Lu Lan was a little worried, "I'd better light it up quickly?"
Although she was asking, she had already quickly walked to the incense burner, blew out the censer, and made a show of lighting it.
Chu Yunli frowned, went in and hugged the child, poured all the unused spices into the incense burner, then held the child in one hand and the incense burner in the other, and hurried to the front yard.
She didn't believe that Lu Yuzhou would watch Mrs. Zhao deal with his son!
Behind her, Lu Lan watched her movements, thought of something, her expression changed drastically, and she quickly chased after her.
Chu Yunli hugged the child and went straight to the study room in the front yard. Zhang Qiuniang had stayed in this mansion for more than half a year, and she had heard about some of Lu Yuzhou's habits. For example, he would be in the shop or go to the cave dwelling at the beginning and end of every month.
, I would read the account books in the study every afternoon.
I met a lot of people along the way, and it was quite strange to see her walking in such a hurry, but no one stopped her. After all, she was the young master's nanny. It was impossible to say that something had happened to the young master.
She did not cover up her whereabouts. Soon, everyone in the backyard knew that she had gone to the front yard with her child in her arms. Most people just speculated in private. When Mrs. Zhao heard the report from the people below, her expression changed drastically, especially
When he heard that the wet nurse was carrying an incense burner, he couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and wanted to go out. Then he remembered something, sat back down again, and ordered, "Bring over my half-made bellyband."
No one stopped her along the way, but when she arrived at the door of the study room in the front yard, she was still stopped.
The person who stopped her was the housekeeper of the mansion. He frowned and asked, "How can you enter the important place in the study?"
Chu Yunli said solemnly, "The young master is not good, I must see him."
The argument at the door was heard by people inside, and then Lu Yuzhou's voice came, "Come in and talk."
Chu Yunli came in and put the incense burner on the table in front of Lu Yuzhou, "Today afternoon, the second wife went to see the young master, and then she insisted on letting me light the incense burner."
Lu Yuzhou was able to take charge of the Lu family at such a young age, so he was certainly not stupid. "You mean, there is something wrong with this incense burner?"
Chu Yunli spoke quickly, "I don't know if there is any problem, I would like to ask the doctor to take a look. After all, it is best not to use any medicinal or fragrant things for children, but what the second wife means is that if
If she doesn't light the incense, she will have to be a wet nurse for the young master."
The author has something to say: See you tomorrow at 12 noon.
