Shen Junqian's family just came back, Mrs. Feng had already instructed, the first few days do not need the juniors to go to Shou'an Hall to ask for peace, but Xiao Shi did not want to be said, only followed Mrs. Tai to rest for three days, and then thought about sending her own housekeeper daughter-in-law Ji Mama to Shou'an Hall to tell Mrs. Tai a crime, saying that the ancestors forgave the juniors to rest for a few days, and the juniors should not be frivolous and should go to the ancestors to do their filial piety. To put it bluntly, it's time for the ancestor to say hello to you, right?

Mama Ji listened to Xiao's instructions and knew that Xiao's valued this matter, so she immediately went to Shou'an Hall.

Feng is old, and he must rest for half an hour every afternoon, and when Mama Ji came, Feng just woke up and was grooming under Mama Yan's service. Hearing the girl's report, the hand inserting the hairpin stopped, thought about it and ordered: "Let her wait in the side room for a while, and then pass her in later." ”

Mama Yan, who was standing behind Feng Shi to help her pull her hair, looked at Feng Shi in the mirror and said with a smile: "The ancestor is so blessed, the second lady is filial, I am afraid that this is to ask you, I will come to Shou'an Hall tomorrow morning to greet you, and I am in a hurry to come up to serve the ancestor." ”

Feng Shi smiled comfortably, and reflexively patted Mama Yan: "You old pious woman has come to make fun of me, see how I clean you up." He turned around and sighed.

Yan Mama asked in surprise: "What's wrong with the old ancestor, but is there anything wrong?"

Feng Shi has nothing to say to Mama Yan: "It's not for anything else, it's not for these things at home." My daughters-in-law are all filial people, but none of them can support this family. ”

sighed again and continued: "You also know about the former son Jizhong and his daughter-in-law Ma's family, you said that you are a good lady in charge of the family, and you are competing with an aunt there, and you don't dislike your identity." I was embarrassed to instigate the girls in the family to quarrel over the stuttering. ”

Thinking of Ma's recent actions, he has indeed lost his identity, but after all, Mama Ma Feng is the master, and Mama Yan can't say anything when Feng Shi says it, so she only persuades: "The eldest lady has also been anxious about the matter of the eldest young master recently, and her actions are not thorough, but fortunately, isn't there an old ancestor, you, the Dinghai God Needle? ”

Hearing Mama Yan's flattery, Feng scolded with a smile: "I'll say a few words to you, and you will flatter me." ”

Seeing that his hair had been combed, Feng took Mama Yan's hand, sat on the couch at the top, and motioned for Mama Yan to sit down as well, before continuing: "I'm not as old as when I was young, and now I want to worry about it. Alas!"

Feng raised his hand to take the tea handed over by Mama Yan, took a sip and continued: "To put it bluntly, my sons are not small in terms of ability, but how can the affairs of this inner house be interfered with, the masters have already worked hard outside, and the affairs of this inner house should be taken care of by women." In the past few days, I have carefully pondered my three daughters-in-law, and none of them can support this full house alone. ”

Mama Yan knew that this would be the Feng family, and she just needed someone to listen, so she didn't say much, so she sat aside and listened carefully, and said a few words of comfort from time to time.

"Speaking of which, none of my three daughters-in-law were found by myself. You know, when your eldest lord was looking for his daughter-in-law, his father-in-law was still alive, because he had saved Ma's grandfather, Ma's grandfather was bound to marry our family.

The Ma family is not bad, but they have always taken their mother's family too seriously. When she was a few years old, her mother went, and now the head of the Ma family is a continuation of the string, and she has a face for the Ma family, and the children of the Ma family are all born to this continuation of the string Mrs. Ma is not very close to the Ma family, but the Ma family was raised by her and likes to pinch the tip so strongly.

Back then, after giving birth to Junhao, she gave birth to three sons in the second room in a row, but she gave birth to two daughters in a row, and she kept holding her breath and forcibly lifted a few aunts, and when she was angry with Junjie again, she looked at those aunts and those concubines all day long, but fortunately, she was still reasonable and did not do anything hurtful. It's just that when it comes to being in charge, she still lacks a bearing!"

Mama Yan also sighed: "The old lady doesn't have to worry, the eldest lady is not stupid, you have to teach it, you can always teach it." If you can't do it, won't there be the second lady and the third lady to help you? ”

Feng Shi was not really worried, and analyzed with Mama Yan: "The third daughter-in-law, the county lord of De'an, then forget it, you still don't know how she and the third daughter got together."

She is just like the third child is a child, King Ning's family is good at martial arts, King Ning is a rough person who spoils De'an, the only daughter, and raises De'an as a child.

When De'an got married, her mother, Princess Ning, specially asked the Queen Mother to send four palace stewards and grandmothers to marry, on the one hand, to save face for the third child to be beaten, and on the other hand, Princess Ning knew that De'an was also a bad person.

Fortunately, since she gave birth to Sister Luo, she also has a strong posture of being a mother, and she has slowly learned a lot of things over the years, as long as she can take care of the third family, I will ask God to sue the Buddha, and I don't expect her to do anything else. ”

"As for the second daughter-in-law, she is very capable and clever enough. is to take the children too seriously, and the relationship with the second child is good, the second child is still willing to spoil her, she doesn't like to get involved, I want to give her the affairs of the family, I'm afraid that the second child will run to me again to chatter. The second one, he's just bad. ”

Yan Mama remembered that the second master had been in the old lady's room in the name of filial piety in order to marry the second lady, and he insisted on accompanying the old lady, and the second master was patient enough to grind in the old lady's room all day, but it was not clear that the old lady really thought he was filial, and also played the spirit to cultivate the mother-son relationship, and finally knew that it was to ask the old lady to come forward to marry him, and the old lady was so angry that she couldn't smile bitterly, but she couldn't do anything about him.

"The second old man is really that time, I don't dare to talk to the old lady, so I came to grind the old lady, and poured tea and water in front of you all day long, that diligent, I want to come to Dule. ”

"But no, at the beginning I also said that he grew up sensible and knew that he had to be filial to me, and I understood it in the middle of the ring, so I just instructed him to run errands back and forth in and out of the courtyard, and he also took it silently, and then although I was angry, I also agreed to him to go to see Xiao.

Xiao is the daughter of his teacher, Mr. Lishan, and he is a brother and sister, Mr. Lishan is a strict tutor and teaches her very well, I see nothing dissatisfied, so I told the master to give it. In the past few years, she and the second child Qin Se and Ming, which can be regarded as a good thing. ”

Thinking of the past, Feng Shi also smiled knowingly, and sighed with a few melancholy.

Seeing Feng's feelings, Mama Yan was worried that she would be sad to think of the old lady, so she changed the subject: "Old lady, what are your plans for the housekeeper's affairs, this account book is still in the old slave's?"

Feng Shi was also nostalgic for a while, and when he heard Mama Yan's words, he pondered for a moment: "What you said before is also right, the eldest daughter-in-law also listens to the teaching, and she can always teach well if she teaches carefully, and if she crosses her and gives it to the second child, I am afraid that not only will she think about the family too much, but also the people will be unstable." However, at this time, the eldest daughter-in-law can no longer be allowed to take care of all the things alone, plus it is going to be the New Year, this year the ancestors will open an ancestral hall to record the names of the next few brothers and sisters in the family tree, which is a big deal.

Well, it's better to let the eldest daughter-in-law take care of things, but the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law have to help on the side. ”

Remembering that Mama Ji in the second room was still waiting in the side room, she said to Mama Yan: "Just go and ask Mama Ji what is the matter, if it is really the second daughter-in-law who asks about asking for peace, you can tell her that I will allow Ming'er to come over, and if there are other things, come back to me." ”

Mama Yan bowed and retreated, and walked to the side room.

When Mama Ji was talking back, Xiao was in the side room with the girls to place the objects they had brought back. Because Shen Jitang was going to stay in Beijing when he came back from Maozhou this time, he brought back a lot of things that he was used to in Maozhou, and there were a room full of large and small things. Some of these things need to be used at the moment, and some need to be stored in the warehouse, and it is very time-consuming to organize them piecemeal.

After being busy for the past few days, the objects have been almost placed, and there is no need for Xiao Shi to keep an eye on it personally, and when she saw Mama Ji coming over, she asked the big girls next to her, Ming Hong, Yao Huang and Ting Lan, to stay and take the little girls to continue to tidy up, and then simply freshen up under the service of Dai Lu before going to the main room to sit down.

"I can see Mrs. Tai, what does Mrs. Tai say?" Xiao Shi asked directly after taking a sip of tea.

"Back to Mrs. Lady's words, when the slave maid went, Mrs. Tai just stopped and didn't see me, so she only asked Mama Yan to come out and say that if it was a matter of asking for peace, Mrs. Tai already knew, let Mrs. Ming'er take her brother and sister over. ”

Xiao nodded, thought about it and instructed Mama Ji: "If you go to the eldest lady and the third lady again, just say ......."

pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Forget it, Mama Yan will definitely send someone to inform you, you still go to Brother Xi and them, tell Brother Sù Xi or their grandmother, let their brothers go to bed early tonight, and come to me early tomorrow in the morning to say goodbye to the ancestors, go!"

Mama Ji answered and withdrew.

Dai Lu on the side moved her shoulders when she saw Xiao Shi uncomfortable, and walked behind her to pinch her shoulders, and asked puzzledly: "Madam, I don't understand a little, I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

Xiao Shi smiled: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask, Mama Ji, Mama Wu, Ming Hong, Yao Huang, Ting Lan and you are all powerful people around me, what do I hide from others, how many of you can I hide?"

Dai Lu smiled embarrassedly when she heard this: "The slave is stupid, I don't know why the lady is so anxious to say goodbye to the old woman, the old lady specially said that we should rest for a while." ”

Xiao patted Dai Lu's hand comfortingly and said, "What's the matter if you're stupid, as long as you do things for me loyally, Madam, I don't dislike stupid." As for the matter of greeting the old lady, it was supposed to be our daughter-in-law. Speaking of which, I married the Shen family is also a blessing, my in-laws are reasonable and kind, and there is nothing bad in the concubine, I have followed my lord out for so many years, and there is no daughter-in-law who enjoys such happiness in the capital. And it's going to be the New Year, there are a lot of things at home, even if your wife I don't deliberately advance it, I'm afraid that Mama Yan will come to inform us in the next two days, so it's better for me to take the initiative and leave a little bit in Mrs. Tai's heart. ”

Dai Green nodded as if she didn't understand.
