Eleven Niang took a sweet peach and handed it to Xiaoxi, and asked her, "Miss Xiaoxi, have you been busy on errands lately?"

Xiaoxi carefully tucked the sweet peach into her sleeve, and then replied, "Well, I'm so busy, the second sister-in-law Wu in the kitchen is gone, so her work to light the fire is now all done by me." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Then do you know what Mrs. Tai called Xiao Tao to do?"

"Huh?" Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, took out the sweet peach, handed it back to Eleven Niang, and said, "Miss, this, let's return it to you-"

"Oh, why? Don't you like to eat?"

Xiaoxi looked at the sweet peach, licked her lips, and said, "I like it, but Mama Yu will scold——"

Eleven Niang touched her head with a smile and said, "Then I won't ask you, take the peaches away, this is what I gave you, and I don't need anything in return." ”

"Thank you, Miss Eleven!" may be afraid that Eleven Niang will regret it, Xiaoxi immediately quit and went back to the upper room.

Mama Zhou looked at Xiaoxi's departing back speechlessly, and said: "People are clever, but they are too clever!"

Eleven Niang chuckled.

called Xiao Tao in, asked what happened, and then took them to the upper room.

Mama Zhou originally thought that this was a matter between slaves, and there was no need for her own young lady to surrender her identity to participate, so she did not agree to go with her.

Eleven Niang persuaded her: "Nurse, if it is really a matter between slaves, grandmother will not send someone to invite you today." ”

Steward Xu can be the master of the slave business, not to mention that she made such a big contribution to the family yesterday.

Mama Zhou thought about it and agreed.

When they came to the upper room, it was not only Mama Wu who was there, but also Aunt Lin.

Eleven Niang gave Mrs. Xu a blessing, and then asked, "Grandmother, I brought Xiao Tao here for you." ”

Mrs. Xu beckoned to her, pointed to a pestle beside her, and said, "Sit here." ”

After she sat down, she said, "Just now Aunt Lin came over and said that your maid Xiao Tao started beating Mama Wu, Xiao Tao, do you have anything to defend?"

Xiao Tao knelt down directly and said, "Mrs. Tai, it was Mama Wu who said ugly things indiscriminately, and the slave couldn't help but do it." ”

Mama Wu said angrily: "You squirt blood!"

Xiao Tao straightened back: "You just spew blood!"

Mrs. Xu was about to speak, but she heard a sentence from the door: "Presumptuous!"

I saw that Master Xu then strode in, and after saluting Mrs. Xu, he pointed at Xiao Tao and scolded: "This is the rule you learned?

Mama Zhou immediately stood up and said, "The eldest master is angry, it's the slave who doesn't teach him strictly," and then said to Xiao Tao: "Don't apologize to Mrs. Tai yet!"

Xiao Tao bit her lip and looked at Mama Zhou, and finally lowered her head and apologized to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Xu didn't respond to Xiao Tao, but looked at Xu Boyan and asked, "Why did you come to me at this hour today?"

Mama Yu brought him a stool when Master Xu came in, and after Master Xu sat down, he said, "Mother, as soon as my son returned home, he heard about what happened this morning, and he was about to ask Mama Wu to come over and ask, and when he heard that she was here, his son came over." ”

"Oh-" Mrs. Xu replied meaningfully, looking at Xiao Tao kneeling in the hall, and Mama Wu who was standing, she didn't speak anymore, squinting her eyes and not knowing what she was thinking.

Aunt Lin saw that Mrs. Xu was no longer silent, and she was not sure of her idea, so she gave a look to Master Xu, and Master Xu said: "Mama Wu, what happened to you and Xiao Tao in the kitchen in the morning?

"Yes, it's the morning of the slave—" Mama Wu had just said a few words when she was interrupted by Mrs. Xu: "Steward Xu, where is Zhong Yan?"

Steward Xu replied: "Mrs. Hui, the second master only came back from Fucheng last night, and he is probably still sleeping." ”

Mrs. Xu said angrily: "What time is it now, still sleeping, go, call him over, just say I have something to find him." ”

Steward Xu bowed down and replied yes, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Mrs. Xu and said, "Also, remember to call the second grandmother, Brother Jun and a few little ladies together." ”

After explaining, he let him go, and then said to Mama Zhang: "You go and call the eldest grandmother, the fourth lady, Brother Lian and Brother Lang over." ”

Mama Zhang should go out immediately.

"Mama Yu, you go and bring Brother Jin over to the backyard. ”

"Yes. ”

Master Xu didn't understand why Mrs. Xu invited the whole family when dealing with the matter of these two minions, and asked, "Mother, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Xu waved her hand, signaling him to be calm, and said, "I originally had something to tell you today, since you are all here, then save my business, and wait until they are all together." ”

Eleven Niang couldn't grasp what the old lady was going to do, so she could only sit with her eyes and nose and heart.

Finally, when the four ladies came in, they saw Xiao Tao kneeling, and walked to the side of Eleven Niang and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Eleven Niang didn't speak, just shook her head at her.

Second Master Xu seemed to be still angry when he came in, and said in a rough voice: "What's the matter with calling us up early in the morning?

The second grandmother hurriedly grabbed him and motioned him to shut up.

"Cut, I'm not wrong. Second Master Xu glared at his daughter-in-law, sat to the side, and said to Xiao Tao, who was kneeling in the hall: "Say something quickly, admit your mistake quickly, finish it so refreshingly, you second master and I will go back and continue to sleep!"

Mrs. Xu slammed the teacup in her hand on the table hard, and the sound she made stopped the second master Xu's complaints.

Seeing that everyone was together, Mrs. Xu said: "Today, I have something very important to tell you, so you are all here for me to stay honestly, I didn't say anything about it, no one is allowed to leave!" Speaking of this, he also deliberately glanced at Xu Zhongyan, Xu Zhongyan touched his nose and whispered: "I didn't say I wanted to leave." ”

"Just now, Aunt Lin brought Mama Wu over and said, the maid Xiaotao beat Mama Wu in the kitchen this morning, I'm old, I don't want to figure out who is wrong, Brother Lian-"

Brother Lian, who was named by name, immediately stood up, bowed and saluted, "Grandmother, grandson is here." ”

"You are the eldest son of Dafang, Mama Wu is a person from Dafang, since she said that she was wronged, you should deal with this matter in front of everyone, now deal with it. ”

After hearing this, Master Xu immediately said: "Brother Lian, since your grandmother has given you this task, you have to deal with it well!"

"Yes-" Brother Lian Xu was the first time to be assigned such a heavy responsibility, and it was in front of everyone, so he was a little nervous, he stepped forward and asked Mama Wu, "Mama Wu, can you explain the events of the morning in detail, especially why you had a conflict with Xiao Tao." ”
