Chapter 73

When several people sat down in the house, Wu Jiao looked thirteen or four years old, but she was much shorter than Zhuo Xi. She also found this and said in surprise, "six younger sister, I saw you only a few months ago. Why have you grown so much since I haven't seen you for a few months? "

I can't tell them that I'm actually sixteen, but the food before was too poor and grew slowly? Zhuo Xi had to say with a smile, "the food of Hou's house is too good. Another secret is that you should pay attention to moving your muscles and bones sooner or later, and you will grow faster naturally. When you were a child, did you practice martial arts well? Looks taller than ordinary people? "

Wu Ru thought and said, "sure enough. Five younger sisters, if you look at the second brother's writings, you won't be as tall and strong as your eldest brother. "

Zhuo Xi asked casually, "I've never seen my second brother. Where is he on duty now?"

Wu Ru said with a smile, "yes, Liu Mei, you haven't seen your second brother since you were a child. The second brother is now a doctor in Dingzhou Prefecture. Many official documents ordered by Dingzhou Prefecture are from the hands of the second brother. "

It turned out to be a pen pole. Xianglan is also in Dingzhou. Although it's OK that the semicolon of Dingzhou is covered by the queen, I'd better write to her when I'm free to give her a chance to contact this second brother. Zhuo Xi thought and praised, "second brother is good."

Wu Ru looked adored, "that's."

At this time, Wu Jiao paid attention to Zhuo Xi, "Liu Mei, you just woke up. What's wrong with your body?"

"No, I haven't eaten for several days. I'm greedy." She smiled.

Wu Jiao immediately said, "what do you want to eat, six younger sisters? Just let Jingyan tell the kitchen to do it."

Zhuo Xi nodded, "I want to eat Beijing roast duck, crispy ribs, fried hairtail, braised eggplant..."

Originally confident Wu Jiao became more and more embarrassed, and Wu Ru's face became more and more gloomy. Because they have never heard of these delicious dishes.

Surprised Yan couldn't help laughing and opened a crack.

Wu Ru saw that even the slaves and maidservants on one side laughed at her, and his anger surged up, "what do you mean, six younger sisters?"

Zhuo Xi asked blankly, "didn't you tell the kitchen to do what I want to eat? Surprised, can you write down these dishes? "

The surprised words cooperated with the blessing of the body, "the maid wrote it down. Now go to the back kitchen to talk to mother Li."

Wu Jiao held her startled words as she was about to go out, "sister, wait, the food of the Wu family must not be comparable to that of the Hou family. I'm afraid these dishes are difficult to make in Wu's kitchen. "

Wu Ru said coldly, "this is Wu's house. You still think you're in the Marquis house? Also, when Hou Ye leaves Beijing, there is no place for six younger sisters in Hou's house, right? Who knows if you pretended to be in a coma for fear of losing face? "

Startled speech would come forward to theory, Zhuo Xi raised her hand to stop her, "third sister, please speak carefully. I went home to recuperate, but my father didn't object to the orders of the marquis. What's your dissatisfaction? The elder brother and the three doctors can testify whether they pretend to be ill or not. I'm still a seven grade official now. If you see that I can't pay homage, you can forget it. If you speak so falsely, do you know it's a crime of contempt for the royal family? " She never claimed to be an official. She found that the official was really comfortable.

Wu Ru was surprised, but he still said, "I'm just asking whether it's true or false. If you have no ghosts in your heart, what official power do you put on? "

"Hehe, I've never put my authority before. I'll put it here." Zhuo Xi stood up and shouted, "dare to make trouble for the people. Don't you pay homage quickly when you see my official?!"

Wu Rutong was scared to kneel on the ground. Wu Jiao was calm and knelt down slowly.

This is really enough. Zhuo Xi slowly said in a deep voice, "despise the royal family, exile thousands of miles, or copy all over the door. I hope you two will be careful in your words and deeds in the future. Get up. "

Wu Jiao held Wu ruzhong, who was weak all over, and sat down in a chair again. She dared not speak for a long time.

Surprised Yan handed a cup of tea, Zhuo Xi took a sip, "the two sisters are sorry. It's about the reputation of the Hou family and the Wu family. My sister has to do this. I also hope the two sisters should be cautious outside. Don't mess with your father if you're not careful, brother. "

Wu Jiao shivered for a moment before she found her voice. "Six younger sisters, three elder sisters are frank. Please don't worry about six younger sisters."

Zhuo Xi nodded, "my sisters, I don't need to care so much. But I'm still curious. It's the order of the Marquis that I live in this remote courtyard. I will neither hinder you nor disturb you. Why are you so unwelcome? "

Wu runa couldn't speak, so Wu Jiao had to answer, "six younger sister, I've been used to getting along since childhood. Suddenly, a stranger lived here, but I'm not used to it. Sister, don't take it to heart. "

Zhuo Xi sneered, "are you afraid of robbing your share? Or are you afraid of sharing your favor? " In fact, neither of them is rare to her.

Wu Jiao replied awkwardly, "how could it? We... "

Wu Ru suddenly shouted, "the three of us are as old as we are. We will take part in the palace election in March this year. You don't have to take part in the election if you have suitable servants. But now you are sent back in a coma, just as a concubine is taken home. So how can I get into the palace? "

Zhuo Xi was shocked. "Do you two want to enter the palace?"

"No..." Wu Jiaoli denied, but Wu Ru said, "who doesn't want to enter the palace? If you are deeply favored by honor, it will be a step to the sky and full of glory... "

Wu Jiao hurriedly covered her mouth. "Sixth sister, third sister, she was stunned. We went back to the room first. You should have more rest and don't tire yourself any more. "

Zhuo Xi quietly watched the two sisters leave and sighed. I don't think the third sister has such ambition. What a pity

The next day, after having breakfast, Zhuo Xi held Jingyan and groped all the way to the Luoqing hospital where the old lady lived. Since I came to the Wu family, it's really unreasonable not to meet the elders. When I got to the gate of the hospital, I heard that it was very lively inside. The old lady's tea in the hospital was coming out with her head down. When she looked up and saw that Zhuo Xi had arrived, she quickly welcomed her and said enthusiastically, "Miss Liu is coming. I'm going to invite you over."

Zhuo Xi and Jing Yan looked at each other and saw their surprise.

Zhuo Xi walked in and asked faintly, "isn't it that the Marquis has something to bring me?" I'm afraid someone from Hou's house can warmly welcome the girl with eyes on her head.

Tea opened the curtain of the inner room, "Miss Liu, you'll know when you go in."

Zhuo Xi went in and the sound inside stopped immediately. A woman sitting under the head of the old lady immediately got up to Zhuo Xi as soon as she saw Zhuo Xi. Her eyes were red before she opened her mouth. "Old slave, please say hello to your excellency." She wiped the corners of her eyes and was about to pay homage.

Zhuo Xi hurriedly held her, "mother Wu, what are you doing?"

"Oh, my lady, no, my Lord, I've seen you for a few days. Why have you lost so much weight?! It's all the killing talent of the childe! If you're pregnant, why don't you keep it at home and go outside? And he did it regardless of the weight! " Mother Wu began to wipe her tears again.

The old lady was listening to me for a while. What happened to her? Are you pregnant? It was not easy for mother Wu to stop nagging and quickly greeted, "my good granddaughter, how are you? You should stop standing and talking. It's serious to sit down first. "

Zhuo Xi held Wu's mother to sit down under the old lady. She first saluted the old lady and then sat down and said, "grandma, granddaughter's body is all right. She has been lying for several days without dripping water. It looks a little empty." This is also said to mother Wu, "mother Wu, don't exaggerate and scare the old lady. I'm just diligent in practicing martial arts and growing faster in recent months, so I look thinner. " She then turned to the old lady, "grandma, yesterday my third sister and fifth sister went to see my granddaughter in my granddaughter's house. The three of us are about the same age. Yesterday I compared again. My granddaughter is a head taller than them!"

The old lady said in surprise, "Oh, isn't it? When you came last time, you stood with them as tall as usual, but it's only a few months now? It seems that the rice grain of Hou's house is very nourishing. "

"Isn't it?" Mother Wu said proudly, "before the LORD set out for the war, he specially ordered the slave and maid. When the adult woke up, the old slave came with the cook at home to serve the adult."

Zhuo Xi was surprised, "is mother Wang coming too?"

Mother Wu said with a smile, "two days ago, Mrs. Wang picked up the cooking guy and was coming. I said the girl didn't wake up yet. Sheng stopped her three times before she stopped. I heard that you woke up last night and came over early in the morning. You see, I've been sitting here for a long time. Mrs. Wang hasn't come back yet. "

Zhuo Xi said helplessly, "Mom Wu, I just go home and live for a few days. Where do I need to move the kitchen? Are you afraid that my family will treat me badly? "

Mother Wu said, "this is what the Marquis told me personally. Mrs. Wang also said, "I'm afraid you can't get used to other people's meals. She can't rest assured until she makes it up herself."

The old lady then put in a joke and said, "I don't know. I thought you were serving my wife! Interesting. Xiao liu'er is right. Where is there no good food and drink at home? "

Mother Wu said positively, "the girl is not the future..."

Zhuo Xi hurriedly interrupted her, but she couldn't talk nonsense. "Mom Wang is really right. I'm going back to my own house. Where can I get used to eating? You're here. What about ah Xin? "

"The girl still remembers her!" Mother Wu skimmed her mouth.

Zhuo Xi smiled, "she didn't mean it! What's more, she needs more hands to serve two people. "

The old lady still didn't understand, "what do you mean by a Xin?"

Zhuo Xi said with a smile, "grandma, crown prince tengju and crown princess are now recovering from injuries in Hou's house. Ah Xin is the crown princess."

The old lady said in surprise, "is it true that the prince was injured?"

Zhuo Xi nodded, "it's true. Now there are foreign men living in the house. Although they are the couple, the male owner of the Hou house is not here. It seems that the granddaughter will stay with the old lady for a few more days. "

The old lady nodded and smiled, "I really want it. Another granddaughter will accompany me to relieve my boredom. "

Mother Wu quickly got up and saluted, "thank you, old lady. I have to take care of the girl's daily life. I have to nag your house for a few days. Please bear with me."

The old lady smiled, "what did you say, mother Wu! Although Xiao liu'er has a post in your Hou's house, she is still the daughter of my Wu family. Will someone gossip when she comes back to her mother's house for a few days? "
