This night, Song Chongjin locked himself in the study, and the light was on all night.

Wang Yongzhu also tossed and turned in the house, almost sleepless, and squinted for a while at dawn, but fortunately he was young and had a good foundation, although he stayed up almost all night, that is, his eyes were a little bloodshot.

Wang Yongzhu asked Gu Yu to bring a boiled egg from the kitchen, peeled the shell, wrapped it in a cloth and rolled it around his eyes a few times, so that he could no longer see it.

After freshening up, while letting people put breakfast on the table, he went to the study to call Song Chongjin to eat.

Song Chongjin also didn't sleep all night, his eyes were red and bloodshot, a little green stubble appeared on his chin, and his expression was quite calm.

When I saw Wang Yongzhu, I was a little ashamed.

Wang Yongzhu didn't ask much, but said: "Let's eat and put it first, are you going to report to the Hanlin Academy today?" ”

Song Chongjin nodded: "Let's go through the entry process first, and then have a ten-year break to let everyone settle down and do housework, and then go to the official report." ”

Wang Yongzhu asked people to bring water, asked Song Chongjin to wash, and asked him to roll around his eye sockets with eggs, tidy up his appearance, and then nodded.

The two sat opposite each other and ate breakfast silently, Song Chongjin wanted to speak before leaving, and in the end he only held Wang Yongzhu's hand, and said in a dumb voice: "Wait for me to come back!" ”

Wang Yongzhu nodded with a smile, no different from weekdays.

Song Chongjin finally let go of half of his heart, cleaned up his expression, and went out.

Because Song Chongjin came back yesterday, Wang Yongzhu had breakfast and went to Gao's courtyard.

In the past, when she came, the people in the courtyard of the Gao family were all smiling and enthusiastic.

Today, Wang Yongzhu came over, and the people in the courtyard of the Gao family, although they were still enthusiastic, there was a little more indescribable meaning in that enthusiasm.

Wang Yongzhu knew that he was afraid that Song Hong had already made it clear to the Gao family.

Sure enough, if it was before, these subordinates would definitely let Wang Yongzhu sit in the Gao family's living room on weekdays.

Today, those subordinates said, saying that the grandfather of the country has not left yet, and asked Mrs. Shizi to forgive him, and as he spoke, he led Wang Yongzhu to the flower hall next door.

Although it is still hot tea and hot heart, the subtle difference comes out.

Wang Yongzhu knew it in his heart, so he didn't say much, he just sat quietly in the flower hall, and waited for about half an hour, when a girl came over and asked: "Mrs. Shizi, Mrs. please come over." ”

Wang Yongzhu nodded, got up and followed the girl over here.

Gao didn't seem to have slept well all night, and when he was old, even if he tried his best to cover it with fat powder, he could see that there was still a little blue and black under his eye sockets.

His face was still as gentle as ever, and he smiled as if nothing had happened: "Brother Jin's daughter-in-law is here, did you have breakfast?" I have bird's nest porridge here, do you want to serve a bowl? ”

Wang Yongzhu was also not polite, and said generously: "Then it's a good thing for Madame, I want to send my husband out in the morning, but I haven't eaten much, and I'm really hungry at the moment." ”

Gao was stunned, but immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly bring a bowl of bird's nest porridge to Mrs. Shizi, and a few side dishes." ”

After a few words of greeting, Gao also said: "Since the emperor has made a decree yesterday, you will be the wife of the prince in the future, and this mansion will be handed over to you husband and wife in the future, and you should also learn the affairs of this family." ”

"Yesterday, the grandfather of the country told me, let me teach you to be a housekeeper, and when you are familiar with it, the affairs of this Manchu Mansion should be handed over to you, and I can also enjoy a few years of blessings."

"Grandpa Guo also said that I have worked hard for the past few months, and you can get familiar with it if you want to come. I said at the time, Brother Jin's daughter-in-law, you are originally smart, and you have also been by my side these days, and you have seen a lot. The standing directors of the family, the exchanges between the various prefectures, are just like this, but they are trivial! ”

"You're still with me as before, and if there's anything you don't understand, just ask. You are a smart child, I heard Grandpa Guo say that you used to be in business, and you are doing well. I want to come here, it's easier for you—"

Wang Yongzhu directly interrupted Gao's words: "Madam, please listen to me." ”

Gao Shi was stunned for a moment, and a trace of unhappiness quickly floated in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down, and only said: "Between us, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Wang Yongzhu said: "Although the time for me and my husband to enter the mansion is still short, I also know that this mansion can be so orderly thanks to the lady's central palm." Mrs. has been married to the grandfather of the country for decades, and takes care of the whole house, hundreds of people up and down, eating, drinking, and Lazar. The daily use of the house and the international entertainment of the government are all the credit of the lady. ”

"Madame is a kind person, and treats her children who are not her own without discrimination, and she is not harsh. treats several aunts quite leniently, who doesn't praise Mrs. for being gentle and virtuous? Madame has taken care of the daily life of the house for so many years, and there is no mistake, others only think it is ordinary, but I know the hardships. ”

"In this house, the glory outside is earned by men, but everyone in this house lives comfortably, thanks to the power of his wife. Madame's decades of hard work, without any selfishness, who doesn't admire and praise her? ”

"Madame, all these years, hard work!"

When Gao heard this, tears fell unconsciously.

For so many years, everyone thought that she was in this position, and they only saw her glory, but they didn't see the hard work of her back.

She gritted her teeth and struggled for decades, and no one had ever said such a thing.

Mama Jiang and Mingyue and Mingxin on the side couldn't help but sob, especially Mama Jiang, who wiped her tears with a handkerchief and choked up: "My wife has worked hard for most of her life, but she just wants to hear Grandpa Guo tell her this sentence." Because my wife failed to give birth to a child for Grandpa Guo, she always felt that she couldn't live with Grandpa Guo, so she had to do her best in these daily housework, for fear of causing trouble to Grandpa Guo and dragging her feet. “

"For so many years, no matter what kind of trouble it is, my wife has gritted her teeth and survived it by herself. It's been so many years, and you've said a fair word for our wife, Mrs. Shizi-"

Gao was just in tears.

At this moment, he had already controlled his emotions, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said with a reluctant smile: "With your words, I haven't lived in vain all these years!" I'm not someone I can't afford to let go, so I'm saying this to you today, this housekeeper, as long as you don't understand, just ask me, know everything, say everything-"

Wang Yongzhu waved his hand and said, "Madam, you misunderstood!" I don't say this for stewardship. My husband and I have just arrived, and we haven't even recognized the population of the house, so what kind of family do you care? ”

"I'm lazy and the least bothered, and my family used to have a simple population and few family chores, so that's it. With such a big family, hundreds of people up and down, it is estimated that there are dozens of big and small things a day, and I am estimated to deal with these things every day, and I am anxious. ”

"I think my wife also knows that I still have some business outside and am still studying medicine, so I really don't have the time to take care of this."

"I also beg Mrs. to have mercy on me, work hard for a few more years, and let me be free for a few more years!"
