Xia Lan naturally understood Lin Zhixuan's concerns, and also felt that Lin Zhixuan was very thoughtful, so she nodded in response: "It's just that this hard girl." ”

Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "Don't get in the way, come to a maid to serve me, what do I work hard, and I don't need to teach it personally, naturally there are you and Gu's mother." If you agree, I'll give you a day off, and you go back and consult with your family, and we can't just be here to plan for them, but also if they want to, right?"

Xia Lan hurriedly bowed down and saluted Lin Zhixuan: "They don't have any reason not to allow it, Xia Lan thanked the girl for the family." ”

Lin Zhixuan nodded and motioned for her to go quickly.

Seeing Xia Lan go out, Qiu Ju Dongmei hurriedly came in to serve, Lin Zhixuan saw the two of them, so she picked up the embroidery work of the Splendid Workshop, lay down on the bed, and said to them: "But I'm tired to death." ”

Dongmei innocently stared at Lin Zhixuan with big eyes: "Where is the girl, where is the girl, Dongmei will rub it for you." ”

Lin Zhixuan laughed in a very good mood when she heard this, and Qiu Ju on the side poked Dongmei's head: "The girl is tired." Where are you going to rub it?"

Lin Zhixuan smiled and said, "I feel comfortable with the two of you, Dongmei, go and prop up this brocade with a brace, I'm going to start making money." ”

Dongmei responded, stepped forward to take the brocade and silk thread in Lin Zhixuan's hand, and went to support the brace and threaded the needle.

Lin Zhixuan said to Qiu Ju at this time: "Chun Tao hasn't come back yet?"

Qiu Ju said: "No." ”

Lin Zhixuan frowned slightly: "Did she go by herself, or did someone over there tell her to go?"

Qiu Ju said: "It looks like she is going by herself." ”

Lin Zhixuan nodded, and said to Qiu Ju as if she remembered something: "Mother Gu, you often mention her, and you, usually have nothing to do and walk around more, there is no harm." ”

Qiu Ju understood what Lin Zhixuan meant, and nodded in response.

Dongmei had already sorted out the needlework and thread, Lin Zhixuan touched the smooth brocade, and asked Qiu Ju: "This is like the royal tribute satin, soft and thin, I don't know if we have it?"

Qiu Ju looked at it for a while and said, "I don't know if there is anything at home, it's just such a good soft satin, and we really don't have it in our room." However, if there is one at home, in addition to the wife, only the second grandmother may be able to have it. ”

Lin Zhixuan nodded and said, "You go to the second sister-in-law to have a look, say I want to make a handkerchief, take a good look at a brocade, and ask her if there is there." ”

Qiu Ju said: "Then what if there is none?"

Lin Zhixuan said: "If you can't tell what this brocade looks like, she will naturally pick it out for you to see, you can pick up similar ones and borrow some for me to come back." ”

Qiu Ju responded and went to Chen's place.

After crossing the small bridge to the waterfront of the water Xuan, the summer is cool here, but now the early spring is still a little chilly, but the purpose is all lively, the mother-in-law who is going on at home inside and out or sitting or standing at the door is waiting, gossiping in groups, coming and going is not lively.

Most of the mother-in-law Qiu Ju here knows, but there are a few who don't know, but she doesn't know the mother-in-law, and now no one in the house doesn't know her.

Seeing her coming from afar, Huang's mother in the kitchen stepped forward to greet her: "Why does Miss Qiu Ju have to come to the second grandmother today? But what's going on in the third girl's house?"

She was originally under Gu's mother, Gu's mother went back to Lin Zhixuan, Huang's mother resisted Gu's mother's shortcomings, and Su Pozi, who had just received the key to Baolai Pavilion, also rushed to ask: "Yes, what's wrong with the third girl's house? I only heard that a mother-in-law came out this morning." ”

The mother-in-law on the side also despised Mrs. Su's mouth and couldn't speak, but despite this, they all listened with their ears stunned, for fear that they would miss something, especially the mother-in-law Hu in Lin Yaxuan's room in the West Courtyard.

Qiu Ju's face did not change, and said with a smile: "It's okay, isn't the third girl sick, bored in the house, I want to find a piece of cloth, make a sachet to play with, and I can't find a piece of cloth that makes the girl like for a while." The third girl thought about the good-looking cloth here from the second grandmother, so she asked me to come over and borrow two feet of cloth to play back. ”

Qiu Ju said, just as she saw Liu Xiang coming out of the house, Qiu Ju didn't want to be surrounded by these mothers-in-law, so she stepped forward to greet Liu Xiang and asked if she could go in and reply to the second grandmother.

Liu Xiang looked at Qiu Ju with a smile: "The second grandmother is talking to Wang Fu's family about the regulations for changing the head of the Zhuangzi this spring, and the girl should wait a little." ”

Wang Fuquan is the head of the Lin family, and Wang Fu's family often walks in the inner and outer courtyards, and he is also a very dignified person.

Several mothers-in-law who were also waiting on the side heard this, but they all looked at each other in surprise, but they didn't expect Liu Xiang to refute Qiu Ju's face. Does this mean that the second grandmother and the third girl also have a bit of open and secret fighting?

Mrs. Hu thought in her heart that it was because of the private correspondence between the maid and the mother-in-law after the door of the room fell last time, and the third girl brushed the face of the second grandmother like that, and the kindness and intimacy between the second grandmother and the third girl were all face-saving efforts.

Mrs. Hu was secretly happy in her heart, but Mrs. Su was puzzled, didn't she always say that the third girl and the second grandmother were very close and like sisters?

Huang's mother knew two points because she was close to Gu's mother, thinking that this was not what the second grandmother meant, maybe it was just Liu Xiang. She doesn't know if the second grandmother and the third girl are sisters, but Liu Xiang and Chun Tao are closer than sisters, and now Qiu Ju stepped on Chun Tao in front of the third girl, Liu Xiang wanted to stop it, and it was reasonable to give Qiu Ju a faceless face in front of so many people.

Qiu Ju had a dark anger in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just smiled and said, "Since the second grandmother is busy, then I'll just wait here." ”

Liu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to snub her very much, after all, now the second grandmother and the third girl have a good relationship, if you provoke some other gossip to spoil the master's affairs, Liu Xiang looked at Qiu Ju's softness, and then said with a smile: "I want to come to the second grandmother and I'm almost done with the order, I'll ask you again." ”

Qiu Ju smiled and said, "There is Sister Lao." ”

Sometimes politeness, is distancing.

The mother-in-law who was waiting in the corridor saw the confrontation between the two people, but they didn't dare to speak, and they no longer laughed with Qiu Ju, for fear that they would accidentally stand on the wrong team.

After a while, a maid came out to let Qiu Ju in, but this person was no longer Liu Xiang, but a little maid Xiu'er.

Qiu Ju was still smiling on her face, and went in with Xiu'er, and sure enough, Chen only said that Qiu Ju had just come, and asked her what she was doing with a smile.

Qiu Ju asked Lin Zhixuan if she wanted two feet of tribute satin and Chen Shiyi.

Chen Shi twisted his brows and thought for a while, before he joked: "What kind of handkerchief do you three girls want to make, and you want to pay tribute? I only counted the fabric at the bottom of the box at home with my wife two days ago, not to mention that I don't have it here, even my wife doesn't have that kind of satin there." ”
