An Guogong's head has been hurting a little recently, although two days ago the house just held a happy event, his eldest son finally married a wife, married the cousin's daughter, the door is close to the family, and it is the holy marriage No matter how you look at it, it is glorious, but as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes lurk, after these two days, An Guogong has a deep understanding of this.

"Alas!" looked at the steaming bowl of snake soup in front of him, An Guogong let out a long sigh.

Aunt Zhang, who was waiting for him to have breakfast, saw it, and said casually: "Master, what's the matter? This snake soup is a piece of filial piety of the young lady, why do you still sigh?" Although Aunt Zhang is over forty years old, she still has charm because of proper maintenance, and she speaks softly and softly, which has a charm of her own.

She was originally the maid of An Guogong, who has been serving by her side since she was a child, and even her wife Wang is still inferior in affection, and she gave birth to her eldest son Li Yuanxiang, so although her status is low, she has been honored and favored over the years.

"The house is restless! It's hard for me not to sigh!" In An Guogong's cognition, Aunt Zhang is gentle and considerate, so he is willing to talk to her if he has troubles. Even if he was angry at the eldest son's misdeeds just yesterday, he did not get angry and snubbed the Zhang family.

Aunt Zhang's eyes were red when she heard this, and she looked at An Guogong with tears in her eyes, and said in a throated voice: "It's all concubines, if the concubine can persuade the eldest prince well, he won't be so confused!" She sings and writes well, and she sheds tears before she speaks, and her behavior, which was originally extremely contrived, is pleasing to the eye, which makes people unconsciously feel a sense of pity.

"Yuan Xiang himself is not angry and delusional, how can he blame you?" An Guogong saw his concubine crying, and his heart softened, and he said half-coaxing and half-persuading: "Although you are his biological mother, but you were not raised by you, how can you control it?" besides..."An Guogong paused before saying: "This child has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he is also a civil and military all-round talent when he grows up, and he is not worse than the sister-in-law of others. Speaking of which, it's all my fault, I've been patronizing discipline and discipline all these years, and if I could care more about him, I wouldn't have become like this!"

"Where is the master?" Aunt Zhang looked at An Guogong with a pair of charming Ruifeng eyes, "You are busy with official business on weekdays, how can you have so many free young ladies to take care of it?" ”

An Guogong only felt a burst of heartwarming, because the bowl of snake soup sent by Situ Ningbing gathered in his heart The depression in his heart also dissipated a lot, holding Aunt Zhang's soft hand, seven points of pity and three points of helplessness: "If Mrs. has half of your understanding for me, I can save a lot of worry." ”

This kind of standard quote of a heartless and heartless man is fortunately not heard by Wang, otherwise it is estimated that she will vomit three liters of blood even if she is not angry!

Like An Guogong's treatment, Situ Ningbing also sent a bowl of snake soup to the Wang family, but compared to An Guogong's long sighs, Wang's reaction was much more fierce and direct. As soon as the little maid who delivered the snake soup stepped out of the door of the main house, she heard a crisp sound, and Wang swept the bowl of snake soup to the ground neatly. After a few days of adaptation, the maid in the main room has changed from the initial panic and fear to no stranger, and her face is cleaning the mess on the ground in an orderly manner as usual.

Looking at Wang's Tieqing's face, Mama Qi thought for a while and silently handed a cup to Wang. In the past few days, she has persuaded all the words she can persuade, and she said that her mouth was dry, and she didn't know how much Wang listened, so she simply let her drop a few more things to make the fire out.

"That's really unreasonable!" Sure enough, Wang took the teacup and smashed it again after only taking a sip. "One by one, they are against me, I can't live this day!"

Mama Qi didn't persuade her, just quietly waited for her next step.

Wang sulked for a while, and suddenly looked up at Mama Qi, her eyes were eager and determined. "Mama, this time I must sell Zhang's fox and girl's feet, such a scourge must not stay in the mansion anymore!"

Mama Qi secretly complained in her heart, when will her young lady grow up?! On her face, she could only persuade in a serious voice: "Madam, why do you have to deal with a lowly concubine in the main room? Not to mention that the master will not agree, just because she is the biological mother of the eldest prince and has not made a big mistake on the surface, you can't sell her!" Seeing that the Wang family opened her mouth and wanted to argue, Mama Qi hurriedly said: "Even if you can really sell her, do you want your reputation?" A concubine who made no mistake and gave birth to a son, what would you say about selling it and selling it to someone outside? The daughter of the Wang family, who has never been detained as jealous, you... Alas!" Speaking of the anxious place, Mama Qi stomped her feet, and said almost pleadingly: "Madame, slave and maid, please beg, the old lady has already left only you and Miss Five's two daughters, and Miss Five's life has been ruined, if you have a reputation of jealousy, how can you ask the slave and maid to have the face to go underground to see the old lady in the future?!"

When Wang heard her mention that her sister and her mother who went first, she hated and hurt in her heart, and she fell down on the low table beside her, and said sadly: "Mama, my heart is so bitter!"

Mama Qi patted her back distressedly, her eyes were full of helplessness, her young lady, she had no biological mother at the age of nine, and her husband had the eldest son first, and the first child was miscarried, and she finally gave birth to a son but was born disabled, and it was really not good to have a trembling life all these years. But if you say that life is hard, she was born in a famous family and is a concubine, although she has no biological mother early, but she still has a father and brother to rely on, even if her stepmother enters the door, she has never been sad for her, although the husband loves the concubine, but he also knows that he has never done anything to spoil the concubine and kill his wife, the prince is disabled, but this does not affect him to become the first son of Longxi, respected and respected. Compared with many ladies of the family, she is in a much better situation, if she can open up some more, why should she suffer so much? Alas! This person always does not know how to be happy and content!

Compared with the gloomy clouds and mist at the Wang family and Aunt Zhang, the atmosphere of Yuxuan was much more cheerful, especially when the small kitchen was surrounded by a group of good maids and servants. However, most of them only dared to poke their brains outside the kitchen, and a few dared to stand by the door and pick at the snakes that circled and twisted into a ball inside the bamboo cage next to the stove.

"See the poor girl, I want to be fat. ”

"Seeing that Sister Pian wants this smaller one, just steam it, I'm sorry to trouble you. ”

"I won't pick one when I see my sister, you can help me pick one. ”

“……”

Seeing that Pian seemed to be in a very good mood today, he agreed to these requests, one wall was holding a big kitchen knife and cutting off the snake's head, and the other wall casually ordered a few maids who were shrunk in the corner and said, "Hongluan, you go and pick a few snakes for them to come out." ”

"See... Sister Pity" Hongluan's voice trembled, "I..."

Before she could say anything about refusal, she had already raised her head and glared at her, "What am I, I! A few non-venomous double-spotted snakes are just scared like this? Didn't I teach you how to catch snakes, you just do it! As the big girl next to the young lady, she can't even deal with a snake, what else do you say!"

Although Hongluan didn't know what the big girl next to Miss Dang had to do with catching snakes, even if she was scared of death, she had to muster up twelve points of courage and walked towards the bamboo cage next to the stove.

Looking at the snake twisting in the cage and spitting out bright red letters, the always bold Hongluan almost didn't cry, she looked down and saw that she was busy and opened her mouth to make the last effort, but before she could say anything, she suddenly raised her head and glared at her again, "What are you still rubbing? Hurry up and do it! After dealing with these, I have to go back to serve Miss, why do so much effort with you!"

Although they are both big girls, they see mercy beside Situ Ningbing, and they say that they are the same, not to mention that Hongluan is Yuhe Suyun, and she can only obey her orders obediently in front of her. Hongluan's father died early, and there was a sick mother and a five-year-old brother at home, and the family depended on her to support her, so she didn't dare to disobey the words of pity, so she could only close her eyes and lean into the cage with her hands in a daze.

"What are you doing?!" Hongluan's hand was grabbed by Jianlian in midair, and she opened her eyes and looked at Jianlian with an angry face in shock.

Seeing pity and iron, he glared at her, "Although this snake is not poisonous, you can't just stretch out your hand and let it bite!" Hongluan screamed in fright, and subconsciously wanted to let go, not wanting her wrist to be grabbed by Jianpian, and her five fingers couldn't move as if they weren't hers.

This snake is now in your hands, you can pinch it to death with all your strength, and it should be it not you!"

Xu is scream vented all the fear in her heart, after hearing the words of mercy, Hongluan calmed down a lot, and boldly looked at the snake in her hand, and looked carefully at it was not as terrible as she thought.

"Hold on, I'll let it go. ”

Hongluan swallowed and nodded.

Seeing that mercy let go of Hongluan's hand, as soon as the strength of the hand was loosened, Hongluan's fingers holding the snake unloaded the strength, and the snake struggled violently, and was about to bite Hongluan's hand when he saw it.

Hongluan looked at the snake with its head hanging in his hand in a daze, and only came back to his senses after a while, and said to Jian Lian with some excitement: "I caught it! I can catch the snake when I see Sister Pian!

"This is what I caught. Although Jian Lian wanted to sue her like this, in order not to discourage Hongluan's enthusiasm, Jian Lian still patted her on the shoulder and encouraged: "Very good, you can try to catch a few more yourself." As he spoke, he pointed to a few little maids who were still cowering in the corner and said, "I'll teach them well when I'm proficient." After encouraging Hongluan, he turned his head and scared the little maids, "Unqualified ones will be punished for washing the thatched toilet in our yard for a month!"

So after hearing this, the faces of several little maids were all pale and pale, but Hongluan swept away the frightened appearance before and responded domineeringly: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely teach them well!" After speaking, he handed the snake in his hand to Jianlian, and beckoned to a few little maids: "What are you doing there! Come and catch the snake with me, and see Sister Lian waiting to kill the snake and get out of the pot! Look at you are so scared, it's really useless!" She seemed to have completely forgotten that she was one of them just a quarter of an hour ago.

A group of people outside the kitchen were watching the bustle inside, and no one noticed that a thin figure retreated silently, and then rushed all the way into the main courtyard.
