When Yuan Zheng and his party returned to Zhuangzi, it was already completely dark, he helped the old lady out of the carriage, and the big maids Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang, who had been waiting at the door, hurriedly stepped forward to welcome them in.
"Mei Xiang, put the old lady and the second master's meal on the table."
Mother Wu commanded.
A group of maids and fish rushed in, and soon the meal was ready, and the mother and son cleaned their hands and served the table together.
"Mei Xiang, Doudou has already eaten," the old lady asked.
"Zhujun and they served the girl, just now Miss Doudou has been guarding the door with the slaves and maids waiting for you to come back, and then she couldn't hold it and dozed off, so Mother Zhao took the girl into the house and fell asleep."
Mei Xiang replied for the old lady.
"That little guy must have been just playing during the day, and she went to bed at this hour, and I brought her some snacks from Wuwei Zhai, which she likes to eat."
When the old lady mentioned Doudou, her eyes were full of smiles.
Yuan Zheng was confused when he heard it, when did there be a child named Doudou in Zhuangzi who seemed to be quite popular with his mother.
The old lady was stunned when she saw him holding chopsticks, and said jokingly: "Lord Yuan is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he dislikes the light and unappetizing food here for the old man."
"Mother is joking with her son again, your food here is the most delicious, but this bean is," Yuan Zheng wondered.
"Eat first, you'll know when you should know," the old lady deliberately sold off.
After the meal, the two moved to the east wing, and Wu's mother personally served tea and retreated.
"Zheng'er, a few days ago, Hui Niang sent someone to send a little girl named Doudou over, and she brought it up.
Mother likes it very much, and has already accepted her as a daughter for you and Ah Chao.
The old lady got straight to the point.
"Poof" Yuan Zheng squirted out a sip of tea directly, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth and said: "Mother, what's wrong with you, I have a daughter by myself, I can understand that you want your grandson to be anxious, but you can't just push me when you see a child."
The old lady glanced at him and said: "You still know that I look forward to my grandson, you look at your cousins and cousins, they are not a few years older than you, everyone is holding their grandson, your son doesn't know where I am, I just like a little girl and I have attracted you to complain so much, but if I have other sons, it is not uncommon to find you."
"Mother, aren't you forcing your son, my house is already a mess, if you get a child back for some reason, Ah Chao will not have to make a fuss Besides, Xiang'er has a very sensitive personality, so she has a sister for no reason, I think I don't like her anymore, I must be very sad in my heart, how can I recuperate" Yuan Zheng frowned.
The old lady said in her heart, I am embarrassed to mention that your daughter-in-law Sister Xiang has not been in contact with strangers since she was a child, and she has not even had a little sister or a little sister "What are you anxious about, I asked you to put Doudou under your name as a daughter, but I didn't want to hand her over to your husband and wife to raise, just people like your daughter-in-law don't even have the ability to take care of ordinary children, let alone Doudou" The old lady pursed her lips, mentioning Gu Chao's mood is not good.
Yuan Zheng sneered and said: "Yo yo yo, look at what makes our old lady feel distressed, isn't it just a little girl from the northwest, whether she has three eyes or six arms, it is rare for you to be like this" Seeing that her son looked incomprehensible, the old lady snatched the tea cup in Yuan Zheng's hand, and said angrily: "Don't want my granddaughter to be a daughter, just drink my good tea, stay in my house, you walk back to the city by yourself, you want to take my carriage."
Once an elderly person is stubborn, he is as difficult as a child, and Yuan Zheng feels angry and funny when he sees his mother, who has always been dignified and steady, suddenly become like this.
"Mother, you like your grandson and son must work hard, but this little girl from an unknown place, my son really doesn't want to make trouble at home for her and affect official affairs, so you can just let her surname Xie have so many nephews in your clan, it's not difficult to find a father for her," Yuan Zheng suggested at the forehead.
"I have been a member of the Yuan family for more than 30 years since I married my daughter, and I have my own surname Yuan, why should I let my granddaughter's surname be Xie" The old lady said unrelentingly.
"Mother, except for this, my son will promise you everything, hey" Before his words fell, the old lady stood up and grabbed his sleeve, "You go, let's go, my temple here is small, and I can't accommodate your big Buddha." ” The old lady didn't have much strength, so Yuan Zheng naturally couldn't be picked up by her, but he was afraid that his mother would make a mistake, so he had to be "pushed" out of the east wing according to her wishes.
Yuan Zheng was very helpless, it was late at this time, and the gate of Hangzhou had long been closed, although it was not difficult to enter the city as him, but when he came, he took his mother's carriage, and it was difficult to walk back and not be laughed at to death.
He only brought a small servant with him today, and was arranged by the steward in Zhuangzi to eat and rest in the outer courtyard, at this time it can be said that he was alone, and today he was pulled out by his mother in a hurry, and he didn't wear much clothes, and a cold wind blew and shivered.
"Mother, why don't you let me think about it, everything is easy to discuss" Yuan Zheng saw that Wu's mother was walking towards this side, and deliberately shouted into the house.
How could Mother Wu not see his intentions, and knew that the old lady was just a little temperant, in fact, where was the second master willing to be so frozen, she beckoned to Yuan Zheng and whispered: "Second master, come here." ” Yuan Zheng saw that Mother Wu really understood her intentions, and ran over happily.
"Sister Cui, give me a sneeze" He just wanted to open his mouth and ask Wu's mother to help him clean up the bed in the room, and a big sneeze came out.
Mother Wu said with a smile: "I've prepared it for you, hurry back to the house to warm up, I'll ask the little girls to send you a bowl of boiling ginger soup, drink it and sleep well, and talk about it tomorrow." ” "That mother's side," Yuan Zheng glanced at the east wing.
"Don't worry, I'm waiting for you, and besides, the old lady will really have nothing to do with you," Wu's mother said in a low voice.
Yuan Zheng arched his hand towards Mother Wu and left quickly.
He went back to the house, quickly wiped his face with a hot hand towel, scalded his feet with hot water, and drank the ginger soup in one go, so he felt warm, and hurriedly went to bed while it was hot.
Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as Yuan Zheng woke up, he felt lightheaded, his body was weak, his throat was sore and dry, especially his nose was extremely uncomfortable.
He pulled his lips slightly, he was really a little too busy recently, his body became so poor, he actually fell down with a little wind, and he had to admire his wife and help him take all the leave in advance.
At this time, in the inner room of the main room, Doudou, who slept very well, got up early, and under the command of the old lady, Wu's mother personally groomed her, and her already delicate appearance was more endearing than usual. t1706231537:
