It took a while to go from the main entrance of the Lu family to Ning'an Hall. Zhu sent her eldest nanny to pick up the guests, and then asked Chu Xing with her daughter-in-law, "I remember that the prince seemed to be only one year younger than Congjian?"
Xiao nodded, "Yes, I'm one year younger, but I'm the commander of Shenshu Camp. I can listen to him from a clever way. However, the prince was young and promising, and the emperor deserved his title of commander. Last time A Nuan had an accident, such a big mountain, the prince went into the mountain alone and rescued A Nuan in an instant."
Young and capable, Zhu had a better impression of Chu Xing. When he heard the nanny outside brought someone over, he immediately urged his daughter and his granddaughter to quietly, "You two are going out to pick you up." Chu Xing is a junior, and she and her daughter-in-law don't have to go out to greet her, but Chu Xing is the savior of her granddaughter, so her granddaughter should be more enthusiastic.
Lu Mingyu understood this principle and called his aunt and the two girls went out together.
In April, the sun was shining brightly and the front of the main hall was bright. Suddenly, two little girls stepped out. Chu Xing instinctively looked over and saw Lu Mingyu wearing a lilac skirt at first sight. Not seen for nearly a month, the little girl seemed to have grown a little taller, her face was pink, and there was no big change.
"Cousin, Yingying, you are here!"
Just as she was about to withdraw her gaze, the little girl there suddenly smiled and walked towards them with her aunt.
Out of etiquette, Chu Xing had to keep looking at Lu Mingyu. After all, the little girl didn't know that he was reborn, so she called him cousin's uncle so enthusiastically. If he didn't even look at it, he wouldn't react indifferently. Chu Xing was afraid that Lu Mingyu would misunderstand that he wouldn't like her.
"Sister A Nuan." Chu Ying called happily.
Lu Mingyu said "ah" and held Chu Ying's hand affectionately, then looked at Chu Xing naturally, "My cousin's meal at our house at noon. I want to play with Ying Ying's sister for a while." He took the opportunity to secretly observe Chu Xing's left eye, the phoenix eyes were bright and deep, and it seemed no different from the right eye.
The little girl was wearing a cute bun, with a small face. Although she knew that Lu Mingyu was reborn, she met such a cute and beautiful face and listened to her innocent childish words. Chu Xing didn't feel anything strange. She lowered her head and refused and said, "Thank you, the fourth girl, but there is something else in our mansion. We have to leave after sitting for a while."
When Lu Mingyu heard this, she showed a disappointed expression, but she didn't mind at all. She politely took Chu Ying forward and never looked back. When she arrived at the main hall, Chu Xing stood with Zhu. Xiao chatted for a few words. After a simple greeting, he reminded his sister to be obedient and then went to the front yard to pay homage to Lu Zhan.
Lu Mingyu led Chu Ying to pick up dogs, and the girls got together and played for a long time until Chu Xing came to pick up his sister home.
After seeing off the guests, Lu Mingyu went back to the third room with his mother.
The gifts given by Chu Xing were all placed outside, and he gave Xiao two plates of potted pomegranate plants, which meant that there were many children and blessings, and it was very suitable. The one who gave Lu Rong was a top Duan inkstone. Lu Rong wrote a good handwriting, and this gift was also very suitable. Lu Mingyu's gift was chosen by Chu Ying, and a pair of white and fat Huishan clay men were fun and interesting.
"When the younger brother and sister are born, let's play with them." Lu Mingyu touched his clay figure and said funny. She would not play with these things.
Xiao stood in front of two potted pomegranate plants, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Chu Xing looked cold and didn't expect that he was so careful in giving gifts. She was pregnant with a child, and wasn't she most hoping to give birth to a child safely?
"Madam, the prince also sent two baskets of cherries. The old lady asked someone to divide them into five parts. Our ones have already been delivered. Do you want to taste them first?" Madam Li asked with a smile.
Xiao has been fond of eating sour foods recently. When he heard about cherry, he became greedy and said to Mama Li: "Cleaning, remember to send a plate to the third master." Calculate the time, the husband who went out to ventilate should come back.
Madam Li nodded, her eyes swept over Qiuyue and Bitan, and asked Bitan to send cherries to the third master. The lady asked her to guard against Bitan, and she could not hand over important errands to Bitan. Such errands should be given to Bitan so that Bitan would not notice something wrong.
Bitan obediently went to the kitchen to wash cherries. The bright red cherries were brighter after washing. After washing, they shook the water and put it into the fruit plate, one by one. After putting a plate, Bitan picked up the plate with one hand and covered the cherries with the other hand to control the water. The accumulated water in the fruit plate flowed out. But seeing that the water droplets were getting less and less, Bitan's heart suddenly moved.
She was always worried about how to give Mo Zhu and the Third Master at the same time. Isn’t this plate of cherries her chance?
"Sister Bitan, there is no water!"
The little maid's reminder came from his ears. Bitan came back to his senses. Seeing the little maid looking at her jokingly, Bitan smiled awkwardly and said to her: "You send your wife's over first. It's inconvenient for the third master to eat, so I'll wash it again."
When the little maid heard this, she immediately decided to wash the cherries she was responsible for.
Bitan ignored her and turned her back to the little maid. She quickly took out the small porcelain bottle hidden in her purse and poured half into the copper basin for washing cherries. The powder was colorless and tasteless. Bitan put water in and stirred for a few times, and it quickly melted without a trace. Bitan breathed a long sigh of relief. Each cherry was soaked again, moved it to the white porcelain plate again, controlled the water, Bitan held the plate with both hands and sent it to the front yard.
Lu Rong had just returned. In early summer, he inevitably had a little sweat on his body when he went out. Lu Rong was happy and prepared to go to the backyard to see his wife after bathing. Over the years, Lu Rong has been used to Mo Zhu's service, but Lu Rong also has his own rules. Before marrying a wife, he could not accept any woman's body to look at him. He didn't like the darkness in front of him, but others could look at him unscrupulously, so Lu Rong never needed Mo Zhu's help in dressing or bathing.
"San Master, you can go in." The Western Jiji room was where Lu Rongmu bathed. Mo Zhu packed up the inside and came out to report.
Lu Rong didn't say anything and stood up straight away. In fact, he could see the shadows of the symbolic door, tables, chairs, and Mo Zhu, and also the blurred colors. But Mo Zhu didn't know that he was treating his eyes, so Lu Rong picked up the bamboo stick, gently lit it into the western room, closed the door and inserted it, and then lit it to the bathtub, which was so waterless.
Mo Zhu stood at the door and listened to the sound of water coming from inside. She couldn't help looking at the door panel in front of her, her eyes were complicated.
What does the third master look like without clothes? She loves this man. She used to be the closest woman to him, but she is just a maid. She has no qualifications to serve him further. She can only watch the third master marry Xiao and enter the door. Seeing that Xiao, who had never met before, easily become his wife and become her dream couple with him.
Uncontrollably, Mo Zhu stretched out his hand and slowly approached the door panel, wanting to get closer to him.
But just as her hand was about to touch the door panel, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside. Mo Zhu's face changed suddenly, as if a thief was being caught and dirty. Mo Zhu quickly turned around and walked quickly towards the door. He was far away from Xijiji, and then he slowed down, pretending to be curious about who the person coming was, and stepped out of the door.
"Sister Mo Zhu, today the Prince Chu accompanied Miss Chu to our mansion to get the dogs and gave me two baskets of cherries. The lady asked me to wash a plate first and take it for the third master to taste. How about it, is the third master back?" Bitan said with a bright smile, with unconcealed arrogance and pride in his smile.
The maid on the wife's side did not like Mo Zhu, especially Qiuyue. Unless the third master was present, he had to do face work, he would always be cold-eyed. He would naturally not be too stupid if he could get a maid from Bitan. She understood that if she suddenly got better with Mo Zhu because she wanted to coax Mo Zhu to eat cherries, it would only arouse Mo Zhu's suspicion and would be counterproductive.
Mo Zhu had long been accustomed to Bitan. Qiuyue's sarcasm. Facing Bitan's smiling face, she smiled faintly, "The Third Master has just returned and is bathing."
Bitan had already arrived at the door of the main hall. When she looked at Xiji, she walked into the main hall with cherries, put the plate on the rectangular table of red sandalwood inlaid stone in the middle, looked at Mozhu, turned around with a little disdain, looked up at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the north side. Mozhu thought that when Bitan came to Bitan, she wanted to explain the origin of the cherries to the third master in person, and stood silently on one side without disturbing each other.
About two quarters of an hour later, Lu Rong came out, his long black hair was obviously washed, and he wiped it away from him, and it hung behind him.
"Is Bitan coming?" Lu Rong walked to his seat skillfully and asked calmly.
Bitan smiled and explained his purpose. As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Zhu walked to the table, picked up the plate and put it back in place, and said softly: "San Master, try it." It was a reminder to Lu Rong where to place the cherry.
Lu Rong smiled unconsciously, raised his hand and ate two cherries in a row.
When he ate the second one, Bitan smiled and sincerely advised Mo Zhu, "Sister Mo Zhu, please try it too. This is also the cherry from Dengzhou, it is delicious." They are all the maids trusted by the master. There are so many cherries. Even if Bitan doesn't advise Lu Rong to eat it, he will give Mo Zhu to him. Therefore, Bitan's words are not a transgression.
Lu Rong nodded and agreed with Bitan's words.
Mo Zhu politely declined, Bitan enthusiastically pinched two pieces and insisted on her eating them. Mo Zhu just pretended that Bitan was deliberately pretending to be good in front of the third master, and did not want to push them around and make the third master upset, so she took them over and lowered her head to taste under Bitan's hypocritical attentive gaze.
After eating two, Lu Rong stopped eating and said to Bitan: "You go back and tell your wife, and you will go after my hair is dry."
Bitan smiled and said, "I understand. Third Master, don't worry, the fourth girl is talking to her wife."
Lu Rong nodded, and when Bitan left, he looked in Mo Zhu, "You can eat this cherry, I can't finish it and give it to others." After that, he went to the inner room alone and waited for the hair to be completely dried.
Mo Zhu watched him in, knowing in his heart that his master didn't need her to serve him. If he came out, he would go directly to the backyard.
The surroundings were quiet and quiet, more like deserted. Mo Zhu did nothing, and his eyes gradually fell on the plate of cherries. Like other rich children and daughters, Lu Rong often gave the endless pastries and fruits to the maids. Mo Zhu was never polite and ate them as soon as he should. Although the cherry was sent by Xiao's order today, it could not help but be sour and sweet, so delicious that it was even rarer than pastries. Mo Zhu swallowed his saliva and ate them continuously while paying attention to the movements in the inner room.
As he was eating, Mo Zhu thought of the sound that the man made just now when he was bathing, and the unrestrained figure of Lu Rong when he was disguised, the man who had just taken a shower had a slightly red face, which relieved his coldness and alienation in front of her, and suddenly became easy to approach.
Mo Zhu subconsciously licked his lips, and Lu Rong's lips after eating cherries appeared in his mind, with a rosy and shiny radiant...
After eating the cherry, the wisps of sourness stirred up Mo Zhu's admiration that had been hidden in his heart for more than ten years. Mo Zhu stared at the door curtain not far away, and the more he looked, the more he thought, the faster his heartbeat. She was also wronged and wanted to cry, why did she have been with the Third Master for so long but never served him once?
Mo Zhu wants to be the third master’s woman, even once.
But will Master San want her?
Mo Zhu was a little hesitant again. The third master liked Xiao so much. What if he refused to ask her? At that time, he realized that she shouldn't have the delusions. Will he drive her out of the house in anger? Thinking of this, it seemed as if a basin of cold water was poured down. Mo Zhu shook his head blankly and told him that he could not be impulsive. Then he felt the desire to retreat, and hope appeared in his heart.
The wife is pregnant. The third master hasn't touched a woman for a long time. After so long, he might want her? She has a master-servant relationship with the third master for more than ten years. The third master is so kind to her. In order to maintain her status as a maid, she would rather ignore the wife for several years. As long as the third master wants her, she will definitely be responsible for her with the third master's character?
Mo Zhu smiled happily.
She wanted to be the third master's woman, even if she only once in her life, she was willing to do so.
