Chapter 30 The Nurse
Chapter 30 ·Nanny
Mrs. Tang nodded with great satisfaction, "Our Tang family is not more populous than the Dong family. The three sisters in your eldest uncle's family are all married, and now only Sister Li is left in the family. Plus ours
There are only a few people in the room. If you don’t get close to them, who will you get close to? You, sister Ping, are getting married.
The date is set for the end of the year, and I am busy embroidering the dowry right now. I don’t have time to accompany you when you come. Later, I will ask Sister Li, Rongxuan and Xueru to accompany you around. I am getting older, you
My uncle and aunt are responsible for running the store and the housekeeper, and your aunt doesn't go out much in her spare time, so after all, only the three of them are idle."
"That's good. With elders like you following us, we can't let go. Then it will be boring to be tied up. The last time I came to Hangzhou was when I was very young. I can't remember many things. I just remember going there.
We walked to the Broken Bridge and saw the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon and the Leifeng Pagoda..." Dong Yuluo recalled the last time he came to Hangzhou.
The scene, with a look of longing on his face, "I am young and forgetful, so I don't remember many details. I only remember that the scenery of West Lake is as beautiful as a picture scroll, and the lakes and mountains are unique. Later, because I often talked about the West Lake, my grandmother didn't know where to get it.
I bought a picture of the West Lake’s lakes and mountains and hung it in my study.”
"What's there to see in the West Lake?" Tang Xueru, who has lived in Hangzhou since she was a child, can't remember how many times she has been to the West Lake. She can find the scenic spots there with her eyes closed. The scenery does not attract her at all. Instead, she drives on the edge of the West Lake.
A restaurant particularly suited her liking, "I want it."
Just go to Huanqinglou, where they cook authentic Hangzhou cuisine, especially the West Lake vinegar fish and Dongpo pork. The taste is absolutely authentic." When she said this, her mouth was watering, and the more she talked, the more excited she became, "Order one.
A pot of osmanthus tea, some oil to relieve greasiness, and then a few pieces of Dingsheng cake..."
"Look at her, she is more energetic than anyone else when she eats." Mrs. Tang looked at her pretending to be angry, "It seems like the family has treated you badly, hasn't it allowed you to have enough food and clothing for these years?"
"That's not true." Tang Xueru stuck out her tongue playfully, "It's just that the cooking skills of our kitchen lady are not as good as those of the chef at Huanqinglou." Huanqinglou has nothing to say about its location or craftsmanship, and the price is naturally not cheap.
, the Tang family is not a lavish family. Even though Tang Xueru has only been there twice since she was so old, she has never forgotten it for so many years.
Dong Yuluo followed her words and said, "That's a good relationship. When we get tired of shopping, we will go there to eat and I will be the host." He was very heroic and generous.
Tang Xueru suddenly felt that she was more pleasing to the eye, and said happily, "You need to make a reservation in advance for his house. When do you want to go, ask Yan Guan to book a place in advance. It is best to book a private room on the second floor. It is not only quiet, but also recommended."
You can see the view of the West Lake when you open the window.”
He actually looked impatient.
Mrs. Tang hurriedly pulled the conversation over, "Your cousin Yuluo has just arrived home and needs a few days to get familiar with the environment. You should let her rest first and gather enough energy to straighten things out before going out. The time for playing is later.
.”
Tang Xueru did not object this time and agreed obediently.
Seeing that she was sensible, Mrs. Tang nodded with satisfaction.
Just then Mr. Huang came back, "What are you talking about? It's so lively?"
When Tang Xueru met her mother, she was afraid that she would not allow her to go to Huanqing Building. She lowered her head like a mouse seeing a cat, "No... I didn't say anything."
Mrs. Huang felt strange, and Mrs. Tang said, "The children were talking about fun. When they mentioned this, they were more happy than the other. Has Yuluo's luggage been properly packed?"
"The women who came with Yuluo were very smart. I sent them to the gate of the yard, and they made arrangements by themselves. I couldn't get involved at all, so I went to the back stove. Lunch was ready. I'll let someone know in a moment.
Put the food in the front hall, which is more spacious." Huang walked to Dong Yuluo and said softly, "My aunt tried her best, but she just doesn't know if it suits Yuluo's taste.
"
"My appetite has always been very good, auntie, don't worry." Dong Yuluo took Huang's hand and looked very close to her.
Mentioning the woman beside Dong Yuluo, Mrs. Tang took a few glances and asked with some confusion, "Yuluo, why haven't I seen your wet nurse? I thought she would come with you anyway."
Dong Yuluo's wet nurse, whose surname is Fang, is now called Mama Sun both inside and outside the Dong family. She was the dowry maid who married the Dong family with the Tang family. When the Tang family was pregnant, the Dong family was upright and prosperous, and Mrs. Dong was also a dowry girl.
People who spoil children, just do it
The master asked several wet nurses to be found. There were no suitable ones to choose from. It happened that Sun's mother, who was married to the manager of the Dong family named Sun, was also pregnant. The delivery date was two months earlier than that of the Tang family.
I personally selected Mama Sun to be Dong Yuluo’s wet nurse.
Although Mother Sun was only Dong Yuluo's wet nurse, she was particularly concerned about her affairs. Later, after the death of the Tang Dynasty, Mrs. Dong asked Mother Sun to take charge of the affairs of Dong Yuluo's room, and also let her two sons
Go to the inner courtyard of the Dong family to work. Dong Yuluo is now at the age of discussing marriage.
Mrs. Dong has already discussed with Mother Sun secretly. If the marriage between the Dong family and the Qiu family can come true, then she will ask Mother Sun to take her two sons as companions to the Qiu family. Mother Sun will be responsible for managing Dong Yuluo.
In the inner courtyard, the two sons manage the dowry farm and shop.
Mother Sun naturally didn't say anything and agreed immediately.
"Do you still remember her?" Dong Yuluo heard her grandmother mention the wet nurse and said with a smile, "Originally she was going to follow her, but before she went out, her foot sprained and it was so swollen that she couldn't even go out.
I couldn't even put it on. I decided to let her stay at home, but she felt uneasy and asked her eldest son to come with her, saying that she must kowtow to you and say hello."
Mrs. Tang asked with concern, "Is the sprain serious? What did the doctor say? Ever since your mother passed away, she has been by your side to serve you wholeheartedly. This contribution is not only made by the Dong family, but also by our Tang family."
Said very sincerely.
Dong Yuluo was afraid that Mrs. Tang would miss her, so he quietly gave her a meaningful look and said casually, "Don't worry, someone at home will take care of her and she will get better. When she gets better, I will come back to Hangzhou next time.
Let's greet you with her." It stands to reason that before Dong Yuluo gets married, he must come to Hangzhou to meet the elders of the Tang family.
Mrs. Tang was so close that she could see her granddaughter's eyes at a glance. Thinking of what she mentioned in the carriage about the separation of the Dong family, Mrs. Tang immediately realized that there was another reason why Sun's mother had sprained her feet at this time. Maybe it was Dong.
The old lady deliberately kept her here.
She simply stopped asking any more questions and nodded with a smile.
Dong Yuluo rushed to a maid behind him and said, "Hanzhu, go ask Sun Wen to come over and say hello to grandma."
The maid named Hanzhu responded immediately and walked out of the door quickly.
Mr. Huang looked surprised at the side. Why was Yuluo's trip to Hangzhou so troublesome? First, it was originally scheduled that the third master would have diarrhea and be replaced by Dong Zhaolin, the fourteenth one. At this time, Yuluo's wet nurse had sprained her foot again.
… Could it be that the day of the trip is wrong?
Just when she felt strange, Hanzhu had already walked in with a young man with a calm personality. The man looked to be a few years older than Dong Yuluo. Before he could stand still, he was busy giving Mrs. Tang and Mr. Huang,
Tang's greetings, "The little man Sun asked, greetings to the old lady, my aunt and uncle, and my aunt's greetings."
