Dongling said on the side: "The dowry of the three girls must have been replaced! The last time the lady asked the third girl to carry the dowry out of the warehouse, the slave maid also went to see the excitement! Steward Zhou carefully read the list one by one, and Steward Zhou had a palm eye in the pawnshop when he was young, and his eyesight was not to be said. ”

Chunxiao tried her best to keep smiling, thinking that this little girl was brought out by herself, why did she have so no eyesight to see her child? The girl was at present, she didn't dare to be presumptuous, so she could only reprimand in as gentle a tone as possible, "You still need to say this, everyone with eyes knows it!"

In Dongling's eyes, her sister Chunxiao has always been a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and she didn't take it seriously when she was scolded, but came over curiously and asked in a low voice: "Who changed the dowry of the three girls, does Sister Chunxiao know?"

"Who else could that be? Not old ...... cough cough...... "Chunxiao subconsciously wanted to tell the truth, but fortunately, when the words came to his mouth, he hurriedly held back, and almost choked to death by his own saliva.

Dongling hurriedly came over and patted Chunxiao on the back, Chunxiao slapped her on the door of the head, and said in disgust: "Go and go, there's nothing for you here, go to the kitchen to see if dinner is ready, it's time to get dinner." ”

Dongling responded crisply and ran out quickly.

Chunxiao saw that only she and her master were left in the room, and originally wanted to gossip with her master, but seeing that He Linwan was already leaning on the couch, holding a volume of booklets and flipping through them, she didn't look curious about what they just said, and couldn't help but shut her mouth stupidly.

Dongling went for almost half an hour before bringing the meal back.

Chunxiao saw that it was almost dark, and the booklet in the girl's hand had been changed to the fifth volume, and while walking over to help set the meal, she couldn't help but whisper a lesson, "Why did you take so long to get a meal?"

Dongling made a bitter face, "I went to the kitchen and waited for a long time! It was said that the old lady suddenly had a chest ache, and she refused to see the doctor, and the kitchen was busy stewing supplements for the old lady, and the girls and young masters in the house were two quarters of an hour late, and the food in our courtyard was still the first to go." ”

Chunxiao's ears immediately stood up, but her face remained reserved like a big girl, "The old lady is also sick?"

"No, Madame had been sick a few days earlier, and yesterday she had finished her marriage with a sick gymnastics, and then she fell ill again in the evening, and even the fourth lady fainted in front of her door three times without opening the door! When Dongling said this, he leaned into Chunxiao's ear and said in a smaller voice, "By the way, when I just came back from taking the meal, I saw Hou Ye taking the fourth master to the lady's courtyard together, and Hou Ye didn't look very good!"

Chunxiao guessed that Hou Ye was going to find something unhappy for his wife for the third girl's dowry, pouted, leaned over and bit Dongling's ear for a while, Dongling nodded and walked out quietly.

He Linwan walked over and saw their small movements, and seemed to be smiling.

Chunxiao hurriedly smiled and flattered: "I'll let her go outside to see the situation, don't worry, this little girl is clever when she inquires about the news, and she is no worse than the fox spirit next door!

The vixen in Chunxiao's mouth is the sworn enemy fox in her heart. In order to compete with the fox for favor, she tried her best to train the little girls under her hands. And the consciousness of taking the initiative to help the master inquire about the news was also what she learned from Hu Yao.

He Linwan knew that Chunxiao's girl couldn't make big waves, so she went. Fish fish

After He Lin finished eating, Dongling came back to report.

"Master Hou went to Mrs.'s yard and also ate a closed door, and Mama Wang replied through the door that Mrs. had just finished taking medicine and had fallen asleep again. Hou Ye was very angry, standing at the door of the lady's courtyard and refused to leave, the lady must have been soft-hearted, and after a quarter of an hour, she got up with her sick body and asked Mama Wang to invite Hou Ye in. After the Hou Ye and the fourth master entered the house, there was the sound of the Hou Ye slapping the table, and then the Wang Mama beside the lady came out and ordered someone to set the carriage, saying that the third girl's dowry was stolen, and she wanted to go to the yamen to report the case, so that the government could cure the arrogant, shameless, and stealing thieves who came to the Hou Mansion. ”

Chunxiao looked at the sky outside, "It's this hour, and you're still going to the official mansion?"

"Mama Wang may have been dizzy at that time. Dongling whispered, "Steward Zhou beside Hou Ye quickly chased him out, persuaded Mama Wang in a good voice, and persuaded Mama Wang to go back." However, Mama Wang said that she would go to the official office as soon as it dawned tomorrow! ”

"What happened later?" Chunxiao forgot the original intention of inquiring about the news for her master for a while, and listened to it with relish.

Later, the Hou Ye came out of the lady's courtyard angrily and went to the old lady, and asked Steward Zhou to invite Mrs. Gu immediately. ”

He Linwan listened to their conversation in his ears, and went to greet Wei.

Wei leaned on the couch and read a Buddhist scripture, his face looked fine, and he did not look sick. Mama Wang stretched her face, sat on the stool next to her and did needlework, and when she saw He Linwan coming in, her face softened slightly, and she got up to pour tea for He Linwan.

"Grandmother is in good health?" He Lin asked after the evening salute.

Wei Shi pointed to the stool where Mama Wang was sitting before and asked He Lin to sit in the evening, put down the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and said in a casual tone: "I am very well, and my illness is pretended." ”

Mama Wang came in with tea, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but say: "If Madame doesn't pretend to be sick, she will be so angry that she will be really sick! All the shallow-eyed things, kindly treat them as donkey liver and lungs, and when something happens, she thinks of letting Madame clean up the mess and take responsibility! She also opens her mouth and closes her mouth and threatens to divorce her wife? I'm sorry! But the family that bullied our Madame is now in decline! I want the slave and maid to say, Madame, just leave this matter alone, report to the yamen tomorrow, and let the government take good care of these shameless pickled things! Since you are shameless, then don't leave it for them!"

Mama Wang usually speaks softly in front of Wei, but this time she is really angry, and she is angry as soon as she speaks.

Wei's face was calm, and he didn't look angry at all, "I don't care if they have a face or not, I don't want Mian'er and Ah Wan to follow these children without a face." ”

Mama Wang: "They just saw this and knew that the house would not make a big deal of trouble." ”

He Linwan smiled and said, "Grandmother is too worried, her face is earned by herself, and others can't affect anything." Grandmother can do whatever she wants, there is no need to tie her hands. ”

Wei glanced at He Linwan thoughtfully, and also smiled.
