"Yes!" Yinling nodded and said yes. Seeing Xu Shu showing a little nervousness, she comforted her, "Miss Nine, please be relieved. Although the master is very strict with outsiders, he is very kind to his family!"
Xu Shu smiled and said, "No matter how strict my father is, he will have his mother here. What's there to worry about?"
"That's it! Madam loves Miss Jiu the most!" Seeing that Yuzhu Yinzhi had already packed up all the things, Yinling said happily, "It's getting late. Miss Jiu's rested earlier, so I went back to Pu Yuxuan first. The master is back. The lady is in short supply!"
"Okay! You are familiar with me too. I will ask someone to send you without any politeness. You can go back by yourself!"
"Ai!"
After Yinling left, Yuzhu took out the gift box sent by Yinling, and then she was shocked when she opened the first box, "Miss, it's a box of Dongzhu!"
Yinzhi leaned over and took a look, and praised, "It's rare to see such a box of Dongzhu, which is exactly the same size and color. I have served my wife for so many years, and I have seen such a good pearl necklace from the old lady!"
"Yes!" Yuzhu reached out and pulled it, "It's exactly the same size, the same color, warm and delicate, and there is no flaw at all. Any jewelry you make is beautiful!"
As he said that, he went to disassemble the second gift box. When he opened it, he saw a box of colorful gems. Seeing that it was enough to make several sets of faces, he disassembled all the remaining gift boxes, either gems or rare objects, or ordinary things, or even good-quality gold ingots.
After dismantling the gift box and looking at the table full of treasures, Yuzhu curiously said, "Didn't the master go out to Beijing to do errands? Why did he bring so many things back? It seems like he's going to trade!"
Yinzhi chuckled and said nothing. These things were not brought back by the master. They were all prepared by the wife early. When Mr. Zheng Si came back, he sent them in the name of Mr. Zheng Si, just to let Mr. Zheng Si give Xu Shu a good impression. The wife really hurt Miss Jiu!
"Okay, put away all the things!" Xu Shu of course understood that these things were not brought back by Master Zheng Si, but Mrs. Zheng Si was full of her wishes, and she could not let her down.
While packing up his things, Yuzhu muttered, "No wonder she had to deliver them to this night. If she had delivered them during the day, she would not know how many people would be red-eyed!"
Yuzhu said this truthfully. The Zheng family has many eyeliners. If there are more people seeing them, how can there be fewer gossips? It will cause trouble for Xu Shu. Mrs. Zheng Si is indeed considerate.
"Miss, please take a break soon. I'll go call the master tomorrow, but I'll go earlier than usual to be polite!"
"Well! Please serve me to wash!" Xu Shu sat in front of the dressing table, and let Yinzhi loose her hair bun. Yinzhi looked at Xu Shu's forehead in the mirror. Seeing that the purple had become much lighter and the redness and swelling had subsided. She thought that she would not see anything when she got up tomorrow morning, so she felt relieved.
Xu Shu washed and rested, but the lights were still on in the Puyuxuan.
Mr. Zheng Si went out for several months before coming back. When the couple met, they were particularly jealous. Mrs. Zheng Si ordered a table of dishes in the kitchen, left the servants and served Mr. Zheng Si personally for the meal.
"Sit down, we couple, why do you want these vulgar gifts?" Master Zheng Si sat beside him with Mrs. Zheng Si's hand, "It's so late, the dinner in the mansion is early, so you can eat some too!" As he said that, he took the empty bowl beside him and served a bowl of porridge for Mrs. Zheng Si, "Your favorite lily lotus seed porridge!"
Mrs. Zheng Si took it and couldn't eat it after taking two sips. Master Zheng Si said strangely, "What's wrong? It's been one or two hours before dinner, why aren't you still hungry?"
Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and said, "During dinner, Xiaojiu sent a pot of duck soup, which was very delicious. I drank two more bowls, and now I still feel like I'm holding on!"
"Xiaojiu..." Master Zheng Si smiled, "I'm coming back for less than an hour, and you've mentioned her for less than ten times!"
Mrs. Zheng Si said angrily, "Xiao Jiu is so considerate, I think of her from time to time!"
"I heard what you said, I'm smart!" Master Zheng Si laughed, "But if you can be appreciated by the Queen, you must be not a vulgar person!"
Mrs. Zheng Si gently pinched Mr. Zheng Si, "There is no good person in the mouth!"
"You!" Master Zheng Si sighed, "You are simple in nature, and you do not know that the world is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable!"
Mrs. Zheng Si was unhappy when she heard this and took the chopsticks from Master Zheng Si's hand. "The master has such a mind to figure it out, I think he is full!"
Master Zheng Si obediently put down his chopsticks and took Mrs. Zheng Si's hand and said to her carefully, "It's not that I like to guess people. Anyone who knows the inside story will understand this matter if you think about it carefully! Look at her as a blind girl, she is not from a high school. She first became the favor of the Empress Dowager because of her righteousness, and then became famous in the name of Master Miaofan. She gradually became famous in Shengjing. It was four or five years ago. How old was she four or five years ago?"
Mrs. Zheng Si calculated that Xu Shu was only fifteen this year, and when Xu Shu became famous in the capital, she was only in her early 10 years old. She was ten years old... she was just a child... She had never thought about this before, and Mrs. Zheng Si's face dimmed.
"I'm still that old, so I didn't ask anyone to hold on to the wrong thing. All the things that came out were good things. Think about what kind of scheming was here!" Seeing that Mrs. Zheng Si's expression was not as happy as before, she thought she had entered. Master Zheng Si said again, "Think ahead, how old was she when her righteous act of saving her brother in the sea of fire came out?"
"At most, five or six years old..." Mrs. Zheng Si calculated again.
"A child of five or six years old, facing the surging sea of fire, has not lost his mind and can protect the safety of a baby. This mind, with his current age experience, may he be as calm and rational as she used to be?"
After a long time, Mrs. Zheng Si didn't say anything, as if she knew she was wrong. Mr. Zheng Si comforted, "She is by your side all day long. What you see and hear are all what she told you. Over time, she will inevitably be biased towards her, and it will be unfair to see things!"
Mrs. Zheng Si said seriously, "Yes! I admit she is extremely intelligent, but so what? Has she used her intelligence to harm others? Has she used her intelligence to do things that are harmful to the world?"
"This..." Mr. Zheng Si said quietly, there was really nothing...
