Chapter 49 The bastard in ancient times who wanted to concentrate on his career 13
Aunt Yun was very excited when she heard the news about her son's return. Unfortunately, Yuan Xi was in the study now and she couldn't go. She was so anxious that she complained repeatedly to Magistrate Song and called someone to the study as soon as he came back.
His aunt, Mrs. Song, was in charge of the middle school and was well-informed. She got the news early in the morning and knew that her eldest son had also gone to the study, so she secretly guessed in her heart. But soon I felt a headache because of the news from Dagui (one of Magistrate Song’s confidants), and it was another day of domestic violence.
Magistrate Song said lightly that if Yuan Xi was to be taken care of in the evening, Mrs. Song would urgently prepare a menu based on the kitchen inventory and notify the kitchen to prepare the dishes. If there is not enough, people will be sent to buy it immediately. The people in the main courtyard are very busy.
Yuan Xi suddenly came back and had to clean up the yard where he lived, which was another matter. Mrs. Song didn't have time, so she directly called Aunt Yun and left the matter to her. It can be regarded as finding something to do for Aunt Yun who is anxious to see her son. When she is busy, she has no time to think about it.
The big kitchen in the house was busy.
Even though the banquet was only held in the evening and it was just a family banquet, the preparations were not a lot of work. Normally, preparations are made two or three days in advance, but now at short notice, no one in the kitchen, from the chef to the cooking boy, is free.
Lunch has already been prepared and placed in the food box, waiting for the maids and boys serving each master to carry it back. Oh, now that there is an additional fourth young master, there is no need to cook fresh meals. On weekdays, more meals are cooked in case any master does not have enough. If the master does not eat, the extra food will naturally be divided among the servants in the kitchen.
In the study.
Yuan Xi saw that his elder brother had adapted well after receiving the message, and he was filled with admiration in his heart.
Then he left his father and eldest brother behind, said goodbye, and walked away neatly.
He is going to see his mother-in-law.
However, according to the rules, he had to go to the main courtyard to meet his aunt, Mrs. Song, and say hello.
Mrs. Song's conduct was commendable, and she did not treat the concubines in the backyard and the concubine's children harshly. She would not try every means to suppress the concubine just because the concubine was more promising than the legitimate son. She was also pretty good to Yuan Xi, so Yuan Xi also respected her very much, and asked Yuan Xi to say that being able to marry Mrs. Song was because the county magistrate's father had accumulated good deeds in his previous life.
The servants coming in and out of the main courtyard indicate how busy the main courtyard is. However, Mrs. Song took time out of her busy schedule to see Yuan Xi. She had not seen him for a year, and she really missed the child.
Yuan Xi sat on a chair, and during a cup of tea, servants reported matters one after another. Mrs. Song finished handling them in an orderly manner, and finally had time to chat with Yuan Xi.
"I've been waiting for a long time. If your father opens his mouth, I, the housekeeper, will have to work hard." Mrs. Song started to criticize Magistrate Song. Yuan Xi was also used to it. This is the style of her aunt, who is unforgiving.
"You too, don't live at home. Is it better outside than at home? You won't come back even once a year."
Yuan Xi lowered his eyes to cover up the guilt in his eyes, fearing that he would be seen.
Not finished yet.
"The same goes for your father. When you were still young, he nodded and asked you to go to the Northland. It's so far away and you're not familiar with the place. He doesn't worry about you going out alone. He's so considerate."
"Forget it, let's not talk about him. You haven't returned from studying abroad for a year. It seems that you have grown taller and more handsome. I wonder how many little girls you will seduce in the future?" Mrs. Song is already thinking about which little girls are suitable. , as I get older, I like to be a matchmaker and hold happy events.
"When you came in, I almost didn't dare to recognize you. I thought it was some immortal who had descended to earth."
Oh, my secret cultivation of immortality was exposed. Yuan Xi was heartbroken.
The two chatted for a while, but Mrs. Song didn't stay long and asked Yuan Xi to go see Aunt Yun.
As soon as they left, the nanny next to Mrs. Song gossiped: "I don't know what kind of girl will be worthy of the fourth young master's appearance in the future?"
"When marrying a virtuous wife, you can't just look at her appearance." Mrs. Song paused, "But it can't be too different, otherwise it's easy for the couple to disagree."
"Madam is very considerate and sincerely considers the Fourth Young Master. Having you as my aunt is also a blessing for the Fourth Young Master."
"Both Yuan Xi and Yun Zhi are good children. Aunt Yun and Aunt Ming are also honest and responsible. I am not intolerant of others' tempers. I can't write two characters of Song in one stroke. These two children will be successful in the future. It’s also a good thing for Zhiyi and Xuanwen.”
"That's why Madam, you see clearly and have a broad mind."
"..."
Not to mention the conversation between the master and the servant in the main courtyard.
After Yuan Xi came out of the main courtyard, he went to the front courtyard where he lived in Zhuxin Courtyard.
Aunt Yun was still instructing her servants to sweep. When she saw Yuan Xi, her eyes immediately turned red. She wiped them with a handkerchief, grabbed Yuan Xi's hand, looked up and down, and kept muttering: "I've lost weight, I've lost weight." "
Yuan Xi comforted her softly, and even acted coquettishly for a long time to make Aunt Yun happy.
Aunt Yun released a wave of emotions. After caring about her son, she saw that her son was alive and kicking, and her expression began to change.
Belated anger welled up in him.
He called people into the room, grabbed Yuan Xi's ears, and began to lecture.
Yuan Xi was too well-behaved to resist.
She was having fun amidst the suffering, thinking that her mother at least saved herself some face and did not pluck her ears in public.
After all, Aunt Yun felt sorry for her son. After a few words of instruction, he was asked to sit down, leaving him to sit alone and sulk.
Yuan Xi took the opportunity to take the gift that was thrust into Qingzhu's hand on the way, and said with a flattering smile: "Mom, look, this is the gift I brought for you."
He handed over two exquisite carved rosewood boxes and winked at Ruyi. Ruyi took them and held them in front of Aunt Yun, "Auntie, look, the young master is thinking about you. This box looks so exquisite, and it must be even more beautiful inside." Extraordinary, aunt, open it and take a look, so that this slave can also learn a lot about it."
"You will say nice things to him." With a stubborn mouth, Aunt Yun's face burst into laughter. She opened the wooden box and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"You prodigal child."
Yuan Xi, who was waiting for praise, was suddenly beaten.
He covered his arms with a helpless look on his face.
Yuan Xi: What’s going on? ? ? Where is my compliment? So love will disappear?
Aunt Yun ignored him and looked at the two open wooden boxes on the table. The contents inside were each more valuable than the last.
One of them contains a set of purple pearl headpieces. Pearls are inherently precious and valuable, and pearls of different colors are even rarer. Moreover, the pearls inlaid on the headpiece are round and plump, and are of extraordinary quality. Pearl divers rely on luck when fishing for pearls, and it takes an unknown amount of manpower and material resources to assemble such a trap.
In the other box are the Baihua Pills and Yurong Cream refined by Yuan Xi. Although Aunt Yun didn't know the medicine inside, she knew the bottle containing the medicine, which was mutton-fat white jade. She had a mutton-fat white jade bracelet on her hand that was awarded by the master. It was her most precious piece of jewelry. It looked like she didn't have the bottle yet. The jade is of good quality.
Aunt Yun knew the value of these two gifts no matter how knowledgeable she was.
What's more, she has been in the house for many years and has seen a lot of good things with my wife.
