Mrs. Chen closed her eyes to rest her mind, obviously unwilling to talk more, and waved her hand to let her daughter-in-law go down. Mrs. Liu had no choice but to retreat.
When Ms. Liu left Jing'an Hall, Mrs. Huang, who had served Mrs. Chen for many years, walked in. She knelt down at Mrs. Chen's feet and put on soft cotton shoes for her. She had been following Mrs. Chen since she was a child. She has been waiting by her side for nearly fifty years; from a little girl to a first-class eldest girl, she was then let Mrs. Chen arrange marriages for her, and finally she became Mrs. Chen's housekeeper, and she was deeply relied on by Mrs. Chen. Now this year In her late sixties, she was at an age where she was enjoying her family, but she still couldn't bear to leave the old lady and kept waiting close by, chatting with her to relieve her boredom.
Mother Huang has served Mrs. Chen for many years. Everyone in the house, including the masters and their wives, all call her "Mother Huang" respectfully.
Mother Huang personally made a cup of tea for Mrs. Chen and placed it on the table to warm. Then she knelt down and gently beat her legs.
"Going out?" Mrs. Chen asked with her eyes closed, enjoying Mother Huang's service. Naturally, she was asking about her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu.
"Yes, Madam." Huang's mother smiled warmly and said with concern: "Madam, you got up early in the morning, but you are tired. Do you want to go to bed and lie down for a while."
"No need, I can't sleep well even as I get older. The more I lie down, the less energetic I feel. Decades have passed and we are all old." Mrs. Chen sighed softly, lamenting that time is not forgiving, and in the blink of an eye she From being in the Mood for Love, she became an old woman with gray hair.
"What did the old lady say? In the eyes of this slave, you are not old at all, and you still want to watch the eighth young master get married and have children?" Mother Huang comforted, yes! Many people came out of the personnel room with her, but now they are all gone, and she is the only one left with the old lady.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait! No one in the house is worried." Mrs. Chen closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead. How could she not know the second daughter-in-law's little thoughts? She just let her do what she did in the house all these years. Now, It would be better if she was there to hold him down. Without her, what would the Chen Mansion be like if it were left to her?
"Old madam, be more open-minded. Didn't Dr. Xiao say that you need to relax your mind, think less, worry less, and calm down to take care of yourself? This disease will heal quickly." Huang's mother advised. After decades of service, how could she still be able to heal? I don’t know what the old lady is thinking.
Mentioning Xiao Ming, Mrs. Chen thought of Chen Yuanze again and asked, "Did Brother Ze go to school today?"
Mother Huang's eyes were strange, her hands moved for a moment, thinking about what the girl below said to her, she didn't know how to speak, she hesitated for a moment and then said: "No, the eighth young master went out to play."
"Did you go out with Xiao Ming again?" Mrs. Chen asked, feeling a little angry in her heart. This child was really spoiled by him, and it was hard for him to go to school. He hired the best teacher for him, but he was also half-hearted and didn't study very hard. , already twelve years old, only passed the examination as a child student.
I didn’t expect to take Xiao Ming out to play again today. This child is really...
"How about I send someone to find the eighth young master?" Huang's mother asked tentatively. She saw that the old lady's face was not very good, and she knew that Chen Yuanze ran out without studying, and went out with Xiao Ming again, causing trouble. Mrs. Chen was unhappy.
"Forget it, let him go!" Mrs. Chen sighed. After all, the child who was raised in front of her couldn't get angry. Xiao Ming would simply leave tomorrow, so let him go today.
She used to be able to let him do whatever he wanted, but now she couldn't. In the days to come, she would have to restrain him to study.
"Old Madam, the weather is nice now. Why don't you go for a walk? The flowers are blooming in the garden and they are very beautiful." Mother Huang knew that Mrs. Chen was angry because of Xiao Ming, not because Yuanze went out to play for no reason. She Changing the subject, he suggested that Mrs. Chen go out for a walk. The weather is not very hot now, so she could help the old Mrs. Chen go out for a walk to relax.
Mrs. Chen looked out the window. There was a little sunshine coming in. It was indeed a good weather.
"Okay, go out and stretch your bones, otherwise they will break and you may not be able to get up one day." Mrs. Chen said. She had been sitting down after breakfast, and her body was indeed a bit heavy.
"How could it be? From what you said, you are in good health, and the eighth young master wants you to raise a young master for him." Mother Huang smiled and helped Mrs. Chen stand up slowly, and called out again , and asked Ziyun, the eldest girl waiting outside the door, to come in and help.
"Haha, this kid has a beautiful idea. I have raised him for so many years, and he still wants me to raise a son for him." Mrs. Chen laughed again when she mentioned her precious grandson Chen Yuanze.
Mrs. Chen was going to visit the garden, and the girls accompanying her were very grand. There were tea and cakes, hot soup, little girls carrying low stools, and little girls wearing cloaks. They were waiting around, grandly and carefully. Along the way, Mrs. Huang said auspicious words from time to time, and even brought out interesting stories from Chen Yuanze's childhood to please Mrs. Chen.

"Sister Xiao Ming, come quickly. What are you looking at?" Chen Yuanze, who was walking in front, asked curiously after not seeing Xiao Ming move around for a long time.
"Nothing?" Xiao Ming came back to her senses and looked at Chen Yuanze. This little kid, knowing that she would go back tomorrow, insisted on dragging her shopping after leaving Jing'an Hall, saying that he would show her the prosperity of Hechun City. Spring.
But the tall figure that suddenly appeared just now seemed familiar. Xiao Ming looked back and saw that familiar figure no longer seen.
'Why is he here? 'Xia Xiaoba's fourth cousin, Xiao Ming was a little suspicious, but then smiled with relief. What does he have to do with her?
"Here we come." Xiao Ming quickly caught up with Chen Yuanze.
After leaving Jing'an Hall, Chen Yuanze proposed to go out to play. However, his sister Chen Ningke said that she was not feeling well and her face was not very good, so she could not shirk it. She also told her brother not to cause trouble when he went out, and not to interact with him like last time. People started fighting.
The little girl Li'er had been feasting at the food stalls on both sides for a long time. She was a savior and Mrs. Liu specially rewarded her with fifty taels of silver. Now she buys whatever she sees on the street.
"Girl, there is seafood." Li'er shouted happily, pointing to a shop. Her joyful shouting made passers-by turn around.
"Tsk! It's rare to see a lot of weird things." Chen Yuanze scorned, it's too embarrassing, isn't it?
"Yes." Xiao Ming also saw a large seafood shop, which was filled with seafood and other goods, as well as many fresh seafood.
At heart, Xiao Ming is also a foodie. Seeing so many seafood items that were not available in Pingcheng, she suddenly felt proud and waved her hand.
"purchase."
Fresh lobster, bought.
Abalone, bought!
~~~~
Chen Yuanze looked at it in surprise, forgetting to close his mouth. Never underestimate a woman's purchasing power. Xiao Ming and Li'er were in the store, cleaning up all the fresh seafood in the store, and buying more. Less useful information.
In just an instant, nearly a few hundred taels of silver went out without Xiao Ming even blinking an eye.
Chen Yuanze suddenly became happy. He seemed to know sister Xiao Ming's preferences.
