Marrying a powerful eunuch three times
Chapter 34 The 3rd Master and his family are back
"Our Second Grandma has such a fever that she can't even drink the medicine. Instead of saying a word of concern, you let a patient worry about Second Master's affairs."
Chunxi did not see Zhou Chengru at the scene.
I don't know what he is doing.
Just think he's out drinking.
"The old lady and the madam didn't even say a word of concern for the second grandma. It's really disheartening."
The maid named Suizi thought she was in the old lady's room and looked down on others.
At that moment he said coldly:
"Second Madam is sick and looking for a doctor. Is there any need to say such a sarcasm? The old lady is still ill now. Let an elder worry about Second Madam. Don't worry that Second Madam will die young."
"Our Second Madam is upright and fearless. You, a bastard who doesn't care about your master, are not worthy of shouting in Chuitang Courtyard. Get out of here."
Chunxi was so angry that he drove her away.
Suizi left with a snort, still saying, "I have to have a good talk with the old lady. How dare Chunxi, that little girl, not let me see the second wife."
"You exaggerate what you say."
Chunxi was so angry that he had a headache and ordered the gatekeeper in a cold voice.
"Whoever comes, kick him out."
Seeing that Chunxi, who was usually gentle, was so angry, the servant naturally didn't dare to say anything and nodded in agreement.
Chunxi returned to the inner room.
He told Xia An to light some calming incense sticks, and asked someone to take Taohua out to play, for fear that Taohua would be sick from the passing of her energy.
She sat beside the bed and served Su Rutang.
It's Haishi.
Zhou Chengru hadn't come back yet, so the people from the second house went out to ask around, and they only heard that several parts of the capital had collapsed.
Houses in the depressions were flooded.
All the people from the Ministry of Works were called into the palace for a lecture, so I’m afraid I’ll have to use my connections to smooth things over.
Old Madam Zhou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Send Suying to see Su Rutang.
Su Rutang drank the medicine and sweated all over, and her mind became clear. She took a hot mugwort bath and changed into casual clothes. She tied her hair into an ordinary bun and wore a red crabapple flower.
There was a touch of beauty on the pale little face.
Suying noticed that she was not in good spirits, so she spoke more cautiously.
It's simply that the old lady is worried about Zhou Chengru, and the mansion is counting on him. He has not returned since he went out at noon, so she asked Su Rutang to go out and find out.
Su Rutang leaned on the couch, and Chunxi placed two cushions behind her.
She looked lazy and tired.
Watching Xia An picking lantern flowers.
"What did the second room's master go to find out?"
Suying bent down and replied:
"Mr. Ming from the Second House went to the entrance of the Ministry of Works to inquire and learned that Mr. Second and several others had entered the palace. They have not returned yet and they said that many places in the capital collapsed due to the heavy rain."
Su Ying couldn't help complaining: "It's collapsed, it has nothing to do with our Second Master."
Su Rutang's eyes were dark and unclear.
As the Minister of Works, he knew where the actual money allocated by the Ministry of Revenue every year went.
How can it be okay just because it is irrelevant?
Suying used to be very measured, but today she kept complaining:
"The people in the slums all built shacks with broken wood to live in. In order to occupy more space, the ditch more than ten feet wide was filled up to less than two feet wide.
Some families expanded their buildings without permission, and fought over more space, with many of them getting hurt. Why do you blame our Second Master for the trouble? "
"In my opinion, they deserved to be drowned."
It was the first time that Su Rutang saw Su Ying cursing with a red face, and he wished he could throw those people into the river.
"Suying, you are someone close to the old lady. If you say something, it will cause trouble for the second master." Su Rutang stared at her righteously, "I will send someone to ask the people in the Su Mansion to find out something, and then go to the old lady's courtyard to report."
Suying quickly knelt down and saluted, feeling annoyed at her own loss of composure.
She felt even more ashamed and forced an awkward smile. "Thank you for your advice, Second Madam. I won't dare to do it again."
She stood up to say goodbye.
Go back and report to the old lady.
Su Rutang leaned lazily on the cushion.
Chunxi stood at the door and saw Suying holding an umbrella and a little girl with a long hair holding a lantern leaving Chuitangyuan. Then he lowered the curtain and returned to the house.
"Second Madam, do you want to ask Second Master Su for help?"
Su Rutang's second cousin Su Buli worked in the Dali Temple.
When he participated in the Spring Examination with Zhou Chengru, the emperor intended to let the handsome Su Buli be the third place winner, but his essay strategy was much better than others.
The emperor specially discussed it with the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and finally decided that Zhou Chengru would be the third place and Su Buli would be the first place.
He is still single now. Lan Xuanji urged him to get married several times but gave up seeing that he was unmoved.
"Let me think about it."
Su Rutang thought about it and called Xia An.
He lowered his head and gave a few instructions.
Xia An took the order and left.
After Xia An left, Su Rutang coaxed Taohua to sleep.
She was covered with a thin mulberry silk quilt and Dongxiang was asked to stay in the inner room to look at the peach blossoms.
I just came out.
"Let's go to Rongxitang."
Chunxi responded and put the cloak on her.
Qiu Ling reached back and took down a glass hydrangea lamp from the antique shelf next to her, lit a small candle and placed it inside.
Chunxi held a glazed hydrangea lantern and supported Su Rutang as they walked behind, while two other maids held lanterns and walked in front.
There was less rain at night.
Su Rutang knew that the rain was not over yet.
Arrived near Rongxi Hall.
Someone is heard talking.
"The Third Master and his family are back."
Su Rutang paused only for a moment and then continued walking towards Rong Xitang.
Chunxi lowered his voice, "The Third Master who was sent out for exile is back, maybe he will be promoted."
In his previous life, Zhou Chengzhang came back and was infected with the plague. He was sent to a place outside the city where the plague-infected were kept. He never came back, and even his wife and children died in the plague.
At that time, Su Rutang just felt something was wrong.
The plague seemed to have only infected Zhou Chengzhang's family.
Arrived at Rongxi Hall.
The little girl outside hurried over to greet them, "Second Madam is here."
Suying comes out of the house.
"Second Madam, our old lady hasn't rested yet. Third Master is back."
"Ah."
Su Rutang walked into the house.
Old Madam Zhou was still leaning on the chair, while Cui was sitting beside her, looking at her at a loss. One could tell from her red eyes that she had cried and been scolded.
There were several people standing in a crowd below.
A tall figure stood in front of Su Rutang, "Second sister-in-law, how are you these days?"
Su Rutang raised his eyelids indifferently.
Nod.
"Third brother."
Zhou Chengzhang also asked his wife Wang Yuehong to bring his son Zhou Wenmu and daughter Zhou Qionghua to pay their respects to Su Rutang.
Su Rutang was surprised by Zhou Chengzhang's behavior.
She quickly avoided Wang Yuehong's greeting and said, "Sister-in-law, you and I are sisters-in-law, there is no need to be polite."
Old Madam Zhou was unhappy.
"Su's family."
Su Rutang sat down slowly. "I got caught in the rain and soaked in dirty water today, and now I have a bit of chills and fever. Doctor Shen specifically told me to take good care of myself, so I thought the old lady felt sorry for me and asked me to sit down and talk."
Old Madam Zhou felt depressed. This bitch didn't care about her husband's life or death at all.
It turns out that a daughter who marries a second time is no good.
It is better to be a widow like Murong Feiyue who keeps her chastity and has the dignity to bring infinite glory and respect to the Zhou family.
It is truly admirable and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Chengru hasn't come back yet, but you can eat and sleep well. You are so careless. As a wife, you don't know how to share your husband's worries and solve his problems. This shows that you don't understand your wife's duties."
As soon as these words came out.
Zhou Chengzhang and his wife both looked over.
Wang Yuehong twisted the handkerchief in her hand again and again, her eyes were ambiguous under the dim lantern. She only subconsciously glanced at the old lady, then looked at Zhou Chengzhang.
"Grandma. What happened to my second brother?"
Zhou Chengzhang had just arrived home and had no idea what was happening in the capital.
The old lady angrily told him the whole story.
"Since my second brother has entered the palace, what can my second sister-in-law do?" Zhou Chengzhang also sat down. He told Wang Yuehong to take the children back to rest, and he stayed in Rongxi Hall to see if there was any solution.
Wang Yuehong lowered her head and responded, then left with the children and servants.
