Chapter Eight The Second and Third Wife

After retracting into the quilt and sleeping until midnight, Zhuang Shuyi got up and the first thing he asked was, "Is A Nian here?"

"Not yet. Miss, I've gone to see it. The glutinous rice cake is steaming in the kitchen." Chunmei came over with a smile and put on her shoes.

Zhuang Shuyi was approachable and never blamed the maids in the room, so he raised a group of chattering little sparrows, who were brave enough to say anything in front of her.

Zhuang Shuyi thought for a while and said, "Yeah, no need, I...I asked for one last night. See if Aunt Li cooked white porridge. I remember that a salted duck egg sent to Gaoyou a few days ago, and I want to eat that."

I was too full last night and I was not very hungry now, but I still had to eat breakfast, not to mention that Zhuang Shuyi had long been interested in the basket of green-skinned salted duck eggs.

"Miss, isn't it too little to drink only porridge?" Yuegui, as the eldest maid, knows much food that Zhuang Shuyi's stomach bag can hold much more than she herself. "Miss, did you have a sneak peek at midnight last night?"

Zhuang Shuyi looked away awkwardly. Yuegui's feeling became more and more sensitive. But if they knew about it, they would definitely complain to Ah Niang and be nagged for a long time. Zhuang Shuyi didn't want to.

Just as she was thinking about how to change the topic, the door was knocked. "Cousin, have you gotten up?"

Zhuang Shuyi immediately shouted happily, "Cousin, I'm up, come in quickly."

"You are such a lazy person." 6 Biaoyi came in with a stack of things with a smile.

"Cousin, you are as nagging as my dad. By the way, cousin, what is this?" Zhuang Shuyi took the tea made from Yuelao and drank it first.

"It's the photo, I brought it directly when you said you wanted to see it. Look, this is Lu'er." 6 Puyi opened the album and explained one by one. "This is Zao'er climbing a tree, you taught me, this kid went back to show off for a long time."

"Hehe, Zao'er is so cute. Last time my aunt brought him back, she was only a little big and it was so fun. I didn't expect that she would do it once. "Shuyi Zhuang looked at these photos and couldn't stand up straight. "At the beginning, he refused to call me aunt."

"I have heard of it. I keep calling you sister, right? Hahaha..." 6 Puyi said with a smile.

"And then he changed his words as soon as he climbed up the tree. He called him aunt, and his eyes were as bright as a kitten." Zhuang Shuyi showed his move and calmed him down.

The two were laughing, and there were lively voices coming from outside. Qi Fu, who was guarding the yard outside, is six years old this year. She is the daughter of the cook Aunt Li. She said she was Zhuang Shuyi's maid, but in fact she was just a little girl who was raising her yard and playing with her.

Qi Fu stumbled and ran in. "Miss, Miss..."

"Seven Talismans, what's going on? What's it like?" Yue Gui grabbed her and taught her a lesson with a stern face.

"The second and third wife are here. I saw it when I was outside the gate." Qi Fu's expression seemed to be a ghost, making Zhuang Shuyi laugh.

"Okay, I know you are most afraid of them. Go to the kitchen to get breakfast for me. Well, you may not be able to handle it alone. Chunmei... No, it's still Pearl, you go with her." Zhuang Shuyi ordered. It would be difficult for this little guy who was the size of a carrot to hold a plate.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Shuyi said to Yuegui. "Yuegui, let's make another pot of good tea. Those two don't like green tea, just cook some milk tea. Chunmei went to the cabinet to find some Western snacks, as long as they look good."

"Are they my second and third aunts? I came late yesterday and didn't dare to disturb me. I happened to ask you a question." 6 Puyi said with a smile.

"It's definitely more than that. The girl Qifu only speaks halfway. Sister Lan no longer studies, so she should come to see me. Tingting should go to school and hasn't come back yet; sister-in-law must be coming..." Zhuang Shuyi counted her fingers, and there were four of them.

"The house is so lively." 6 Puyi lived in his family in Beiping. If he hadn't raised four sons, he wouldn't even have a personal voice.

"It's lively." Before Zhuang Shuyi finished sighing, the outsider came in.

"It's really not as expensive as before. Everything is extremely expensive. A piece of clothing cannot be put down without three or four silver dollars, but if it is made too cheap, it cannot be taken." The woman who was walking in first looked a little haggard, with wrinkles between her eyes and eyebrows.

"My mother, come to see Liuliu, what are you doing?" The girl who came in from behind pulled her sleeve awkwardly and stopped her.

"What's wrong? Dede, you are all daughters, of course you don't care about these trivial matters. Zhengying, why did you come to Liuliu early in the morning and never sit at your aunt?" The woman was Wang Peifang, the second aunt of Zhuang Shuyi. "Liuliu, how is your injury?"

Just looking at the fact that Aunt San was not following her, Uncle Zhuang knew that these two opponents who looked down on each other must have had a fight at the door again. Even if they saw her, they would not come in together.

Following the woman with a low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, she looked young, but the folds of her eyebrows were never missing. This woman was Zhuang Shuyi's sister-in-law and the daughter-in-law Wu Zijin.

"Thank you aunt. Sister Lan, your clothes look really good today. Is it new? My sister-in-law looks much better today. It seems that Dr. Bai's medicine works." After Zhuang Shuyi praised, the faces of the three people there suddenly looked better.

6 Puyi took this opportunity to say hello. "It's all my nephews. I thought it was too late yesterday, so I was too upset to go to my second aunt's place. I hope my second aunt is much tolerant."

Uncle Zhuang also said good things to him. "That's right. Did you see the second aunt? My cousin brought a lot of things. Along the way, I didn't even hear someone who helped get things. How hard it would be. Cousin, right?"

6 Lie Yi got Zhuang Shuyi's eyes and said immediately. "Yes, it's all because I brought too heavy things. I came in a hurry and didn't bring anyone back. I brought fur scarves for my second aunt, brother and cousin Lan, which are the latest styles in Peking. I just don't know if you like it."

Wang Peifang suddenly became happy and smiled. "Come here. What gift do you bring? Are you so tired? Is this fur from fox fur?"

It really reveals one's nature in three sentences.

6 When Lie Yi heard this, he felt very whispered in his heart, but continued to say without changing his face. "Yes. The white fox's fur, my mother said it must have been called, and it won't be worn out if you pull it."

"Since it's your mother's opinion, it's not wrong. Your girl is about to go out, and she's still missing. Thank you, Aunt. In two years, she's out, you'll have to come and drink." The third wife Wang Peifang said happily regardless of her daughter's pull.

Zhuang Jialan blushed and tried desperately to stop her mother from saying these embarrassing words, but it didn't work at all. She was so angry that she didn't even dare to look at her cousin's eyes.

The difference between her and her cousin was too big. Her mother could only see the moment she was greedy for the little profit and would have to talk about it for a long time to make a piece of clothing, let alone other things. And what about Juliu?

The gap between them is frustrating just by thinking about it.

When Zhuang Shuyi saw her entanglement, she didn't ask. This kind of thing was not something she could solve. If she really comforted Sister Lan, 80% of them would be even more uncomfortable.

After eating milk tea and British hard snacks, after enduring for half an hour, they finally sent each other away. Looking at them out of the yard, Zhuang Shuyi and 6 Puyi sighed, then looked at each other and smiled.

"Miss, do you still have breakfast?" Zhenzhu asked carefully.

"I almost held on after eating so much snack." 6 Puyi said with a smile.

"So too. I don't want to talk, it's best to eat snacks. But it's a pity to waste it. You bring it and I'll eat it." Under the surprised gaze of my cousin, Zhuang Shuyi ate a sea of ​​white porridge full of white porridge with salted duck eggs with red oil.

"Liuliu, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown up a lot." 6 Pingyi took a sip of strong tea and suppressed his shock.

"Cousin, if you want to say I eat too much, just say it." Zhuang Shuyi said without caring. "But if you want to say I am fat, just drink your tea."

6 Liuyi held up the cup and held back the laughter.

"Miss, the third wife is here." Yue Gui said, and the person behind him came in.

"Liuliu, I heard that you injured your feet. Are you getting better now?" The third wife Jiang Wenyin greeted softly.

Uncle Zhuang looked carefully. There was no anger on her face. It seemed that her second aunt had lost again.

"It's much better. Thank you aunt." Zhuang Shuyi ordered his maid. "Yuegui goes and make a pot of coffee."

"It's better to remember my preferences. Tingting, my family, has no memory at all. I memorized a book for more than a dozen times before I could barely write it down."

Jiang Wenyin turned her head again and said to Liu Puyi. "Zhengying is here too. If you have time, go to my place to sit. I have a new phonograph, which looks good, but it hasn't been used yet."

"Okay. That happens. I know my aunt likes this, so I brought a few original discs for my aunt, and I will send them to you later." 6 Biaoyi agreed with a smile.

Uncle Zhuang nodded aside and ate the newly brought butterfly crisp on the table. Although Aunt Third is not as troublesome as Aunt Second, when she likes this kind of thing, she can't even make a single word.

Fortunately, my cousin is here. My cousin is so powerful. Her ability to speak people at the same time makes her more knowledgeable.

"Speaking of this, I heard that you made trouble yesterday and Yang Bo was injured." The third wife just said this casually, but she called Zhuang Shuyi and woke up suddenly.

Yes, the wound he suffered yesterday must have worsened. Such a heavy ladder was bleeding, and he was foolishly asking him to carry it all night.
