Mrs. Rebirth

After Zuo Shaoqing returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to go to his own warehouse. There was more than one warehouse in the Zhen Guogong Mansion. The old lady and Lord Lu both had their own private warehouses. Of course, the one owned by Lu Zheng now belongs to him.

The last time Zuo Shaoqing stepped into the warehouse was the day after he got married. He was busy registering and making records, so he didn't have time to take a good look at his warehouse.

As soon as he entered the door, boxes and boxes of gold, silver and jade were neatly arranged, dazzling and glittering in gold, Zuo Shaoqing licked his lips, his gaze remained fixed.

"What does the third master want?" The woman who was beside him asked respectfully.

Although Lu Zheng said that all the things inside belong to him, Zuo Shaoqing had no choice but to ask: "Is there someone Lu Ye likes?"

The woman bowed her waist slightly and replied, "I don't know."

"Forget it, you go out first, I'll pick a few at random." Zuo Shaoqing took the booklet in her hand and looked at it casually.

"Yes, the third master just chooses it and registers it for the old slave. Master Lu has explained that you can take whatever you want from the mansion."

The corner of Zuo Shaoqing's mouth curled up, and he waved her back, then walked around the warehouse several times, but after walking, he realized that there was nothing suitable for women here.

No jewelry, only a few exquisite jade crowns, no silk and satin, only a few pieces of cloth with no visible material, the rest are mostly gold and silver ingots, and then there are ancient calligraphy and painting books, antique jade, and some he doesn't know at all. Recognized stuff.

According to Qu Changqing's preference, Zuo Shaoqing picked out a few calligraphy and paintings, and Zuo Shaoqing went around again, and chose a potted jade ornament with rich and noble flowers and a Pixiu pendant, then shook his head and walked out.

After asking the old lady to register the things, Zuo Shaoqing went to the old lady's Nuanxiang Pavilion again.

"Hey, what wind brought our busy man here?" The old lady leaned on the beauty couch in front of the window to read a book, one of the two pretty maids fanned her, the other beat her legs, and the other side of the room , Nanny Zhong is teaching two little girls to write big characters.

Zuo Shaoqing snatched the fan from the servant girl's hand, and fanned the old lady herself, "Look at what you said, I obviously came here this morning." It's just that the old lady was still sleeping at that time, so he didn't bother her.

"Hmph, which wife can be like you, busier than the men, and stay away from home all day long."

Zuo Shaoqing murmured softly, "That's because no wife is a man."

The old lady gave him a sideways look, and dropped the book in her hand, "Tell me, when do you plan to take over the housekeeper's duties. The old lady has been in charge of the house for more than twenty years, so it's time to rest."

Zuo Shaoqing squatted down, patted her leg and said flatteringly: "Mother is still so young, and the housekeeper can take care of her well. It will definitely be fine for another 20 years."

"Go away!" The old lady waved his hand away, raised her chin and said, "The old lady is not that stupid. I will be your housekeeper for nothing. I have decided. I will pack up my things and go out in a few days, while I can still walk and run." , look around."

"Ah..." Zuo Shaoqing screamed and blinked, "Master Lu agrees?"

"What does the old woman want to do and he needs his consent?" The old lady slapped Zuo Shaoqing on the head, and said a lesson: "Do you know what filial piety is? That means what your parents say, and you have to do it!"

"Isn't this concerned about your safety? In case of danger along the way, and the far water can't save the near fire, what do you want Master Lu and I to do?"

The old lady sighed: "I have lived for most of my life. The old lady of other people's family has grandchildren at this age, and I have nothing. How can I not go out for a walk?"

Zuo Shaoqing leaned his head on the old lady's stomach, not knowing how to speak.

This is the first time he has had such intimate contact with the old lady. The old lady was obviously stunned for a moment, then her eyes softened, she stroked his long hair and said, "Well, the old lady is actually lazy and doesn't want to help you housekeeper anymore. gone."

Zuo Shaoqing had a sore nose and red eyes and said, "Without you, how deserted would this house be?"

"This house... When will it be deserted?" The old lady raised her eyes and looked out the window, as if lost in memory.

She and her husband are also considered to be in love with each other, but they get together less often, and the only son is not around. In those years, she was the only master in this family, so one can imagine how deserted it was.

Now that the son is married, but married a man, no matter how good Zuo Shaoqing is, she is not a woman after all, and it is impossible to pass the time in front of her all the time.

"By the way, are you here at this time for business?" The old lady asked after regaining her composure.

Zuo Shaoqing raised his head, almost forgot the business, he smiled flatteringly: "Actually, I'm here to ask you for something."

The old lady was angry and funny, "Do you want anything? If you don't have it, go out and buy it. Is the Duke of Zhen's government short of your money?"

Zuo Shaoqing rubbed her nose, "My cousin is getting married soon, and I just want to ask you for some jewelry, which I don't know how to choose."

"Yo, is that the one you talked about kissing earlier?" The old lady sat up straight and asked with great interest, "What day is the date?"

After Zuo Shaoqing finished answering, he said that he was holding a wedding in his hometown, so he rushed to find something to add makeup.

"Isn't that simple?" The old lady gave a few instructions to Nanny Zhong, and soon, Nanny Zhong walked in with a sandalwood box in her arms.

The old lady opened the box, chose a set of pure gold and a set of sapphire headbands, and took off an emerald bracelet from her wrist and handed them to Zuo Shaoqing.

"Hey, the two sets of hair masks are for you as a gift, so this bracelet should be a congratulatory gift from the old lady."

"This can't be allowed, how can you give my cousin a congratulatory gift?" Zuo Shaoqing accepted the two sets of jewelry, and put the bracelet back to the old lady.

"It's not for you!" The old lady scolded, and asked people to wrap up the things, and sighed again: "Originally these things will be passed on to the daughter-in-law and granddaughter in the future. That's fine." She glanced at Zuo Shaoqing and shook her head in disappointment.

Zuo Shaoqing smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say, who made him a man?

Just when he was about to leave, Lu Zheng came back with sweat on his head. He poured two cups of tea as soon as he entered the door before asking, "What are you talking about?"

The old lady asked Nanny Zhong to take the things away, and teased with a smile: "Your daughter-in-law asked me to ask for jewelry, but you don't care about him. How can you ask the elders for things?"

Zuo Shaoqing threw the fan to Lu Zheng, and twisted a wet handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face, "Mother said she has a lot of treasures, but it's a pity that she has no heir."

Lu Zheng lowered his head halfway and asked Zuo Shaoqing to wipe his face, then sat beside the old lady, "Anyway, it's a gift, who is it not?"

The old lady snorted at him, "Leave that aside, but when are you going to adopt a child?"

"It's a matter of chance, you can't force it." Lu Zheng replied blankly.

As soon as Zuo Shaoqing heard this, she knew it was going to be bad. Sure enough, the old lady sneered: "Do you think it's a woman who gave birth to a child? It depends on chance? Let the leaders of those families come to see it another day, and just pick the one that suits you." .”

"I don't like it."

"Then what do you want?"

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it later."

"You..." The old lady was so angry that the top of her head was smoking, her face was black and she didn't speak.

Zuo Shaoqing hurriedly sat over to comfort him and said, "Calm down, Master Lu means that adoption is a major matter that needs to be carefully considered, and you don't want to spoil the reputation of the Duke of Zhen by adopting an ignorant dude. Bar?"

"He dares? The old lady broke his leg!" The old lady roared aggressively.

"Yes, yes, so, this investigation is very important. The time is too short to see clearly. Not only the young ones, but also the big family have to see clearly, otherwise the child we have managed to raise will be abducted by his own parents with a word. If you leave, wouldn't all your hard work be in vain?"

The old lady frowned, "Anyway, this is your business, so do whatever you like, if you don't adopt a child as soon as possible, the old lady won't come back."

Zuo Shaoqing looked at Lu Zheng with a wry smile, only to hear him ask, "Where are you going?"

The old lady replied enthusiastically: "When I was young, I made an appointment with your father to travel around the world together in the future. Unfortunately, he couldn't wait for this day. Then I only need to fulfill this wish."

Lu Zheng frowned, and just when Zuo Shaoqing thought he would object, he nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll arrange the itinerary."

The old lady obviously didn't expect her son to be so easy to talk to, so it was rare for her to say to him kindly: "That's a hard work for you."

After leaving the Nuanxiang Pavilion, Zuo Shaoqing pulled Lu Zheng anxiously and asked, "You really let the old lady go far away? What if you are in danger?"

Lu Zheng put his arms around his waist, and kissed him on the side of his cheek while no one was paying attention, "Don't worry, I didn't promise her to let her go tomorrow, and just take her on the road together when I go south some other day." .”

Zuo Shaoqing thought to herself: Can going out for business work be at the same speed as going out for sightseeing?But he also knew that there was nothing safer than this, but the old lady would not be happy.
