After cleaning up with Frangipani, Zhou Mingshan got up and sat under the window, watching the little girls under the eaves of the porch play.

Turning over the flower rope for a while, kicking the shuttlecock for a while, throwing sandbags for a while, the white heat from the mouth and nose reflects their red faces, there is a different kind of beauty!

Seeing them so happy, Zhou Mingshan's mood also improved, and when she heard the news that Hongyun brought back, she was even more relieved, although it was not as good as she expected, at least it was not as she originally thought!

rewarded Hongyun heavily, seeing that she was holding the silver eyebrows and smiling, but she still knew how to advance and retreat, Zhou Mingshan looked at her differently, it seems that she can train more in the future!

There is still a period of time before her mother's incident happens, and she can still plan carefully! There are still many people and things to prepare, and she can't be in a hurry, otherwise it will be even worse!

Frangipani took her things and returned to the west room, and saw the four girls leaning on the big kang near the window, looking out of the carved glass window and smiling, and the breath in her heart slowly let go!

The fourth girl didn't know what was going on in the past two days, since she decided not to tell the third grandmother, she had to be careful, otherwise, if something happened, she wouldn't be able to make up for it even if she was beaten to death by the big board!

After watching it for a while, after hearing that Yuan's nap got up, Zhou Mingshan went to the main room.

The Yuan family was packing up the things sent by the Guogong Mansion, she was very open-minded, anyway, she didn't want to climb this backer, seeing so many good things at this time, Rao is her dowry is rich, and she can't help but be dazzled!

"Fu'er, come on, look at this cloud brocade, the color is positive and bright, just make you a gown, wear it at your grandmother's birthday banquet, how beautiful!" Yuan Shi greeted Zhou Mingshan while touching the dazzling material on his hand.

Zhou Mingshan turned his head to look at the red four seasons flower woven gold satin in Yuan's hand, and her mouth was a little bitter.

Yuan hadn't seen it, but she had seen it, it was a tribute for the upper use, and the idlers couldn't see it at all, let alone wear it!

"Mother, this material is so precious, I haven't grown up yet, and I'm getting smaller if I don't wear it for two days. Besides, I can't afford this color, so it's better for my mother to make clothes to wear!"

"That's right," as soon as Zhou Mingshan said it, Yuan also felt that it was inappropriate, so she immediately put away the satin, "My mother still has a lot of clothes, since it is a good material, then keep it for you as a dowry!"

"Mother......" Zhou Mingshan frowned, why did the Yuan family keep talking about this recently, she didn't want to marry at all now!

"Okay, okay, mother won't talk about it!" Yuan touched Zhou Mingshan's head with a smile, her daughter is older, and she will be shy when it comes to family affairs!

The mother and daughter were talking and laughing about where to put the dinner, when suddenly there was a faint sound of talking outside.

"I've seen the nine girls!" was the voice of the little girl Xia He.

"No need to be polite, is the fourth sister here? I got up early in the morning and was bored, so I wanted to come and talk to the fourth sister!"

"The four girls and their wives are here, you wait a minute, I'll report!"

"I'm sorry for you!"

As the curtain was raised, Xia He came in to report: "Grandma, four girls, nine girls are here!"

Zhou Mingshan and Yuan glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Yuan first asked her to invite someone, and then called Zang Rui in, and asked her to put the things in the small warehouse for a while.

Zhou Mingshan quickly put the lids on a few more expensive boxes and put them on the Nanmu Bogu shelf on the side.

As soon as the ninth girl entered the door, she first swept the entire room, and then stepped forward to salute, "Third aunt, fourth sister!"

Yuan smiled and asked her not to be polite, and beckoned Weiyu to serve tea.

Zhou Mingshan got up and gave up her seat, and asked her with a smile: "Ninth sister is here now, is there anything wrong?"

"It's not ...... Nothing...... It's just that my mother asked me to come over and make compensation to the fourth sister!" Seeing that Yuan Shi also looked at her with a smile, the ninth girl Mingxuan's face instantly turned red, and her speech was a little pitted, but her eyes kept staring at the few Liuxia brocades that they didn't have time to put away just now.

Seeing her like this, Yuan sighed slightly and looked at Zhou Mingshan.

Zhou Mingshan frowned, Ma is used to being like this, he can't see others when he is good, but when he sees others getting good things, he is so uncomfortable that he is anxious to catch himself!

Zhou Mingshan didn't plan to let her get her wish this time, in the past, because of the poor ninth girl's life experience and situation, they knew that she was sent by the second aunt Ma to rub things, but they also pretended not to know. But anything that is not particularly valuable or cannot be taken away, let her get her as she wishes every time. This is also used to the second aunt, every time I hear that the third room has something good, I will inevitably let the ninth girl come over, isn't it just to see her and her mother have a soft face and a soft heart?

Now that she Zhou Mingshan already knows what kind of person she is, she must make some changes, and she can't endure her second aunt like this!

It's just that such a nine girls are really a headache.

Nine girls, Zhou Mingxuan, the only daughter of the second master Zhou Jing, the biological mother was Zhou Jing's outer room in the early years, and it was not until the ninth girl was four or five years old that the incident occurred.

This stabbed the hornet's nest, Ma didn't expect that under her nose, Zhou Jing actually raised an outer room, and had a sinister seed, where did this make her face go? She first tried her best to deal with this outer room, but she didn't want not only Zhou Jing to guard against her, but that outer room was not a simple one, and she didn't succeed in it again and again.

Later, Zhou Jing was finally annoyed, and the two had a big fight, Ma's eyes were red and his criticism was chased by Zhou Jing to Mrs. Hou, saying that the second master wanted to divorce his wife and begged Mrs. to make decisions for her.

Mrs. Hou also had a headache, since she already had the children of the Zhou family, she could no longer treat it as if she hadn't seen it, first at the request of the second master, she asked people to take their mother and daughter back, and then asked the second master to apologize to the Ma family, and finally solved this farce.

I never thought that there was no blessing in that outer room, and I fell ill in less than half a year.

I don't know what I said before I died, Zhou Jing went to Ma's to make a fuss that day, I heard that the second master swore to the sky that if the ninth girl couldn't live, he would just fight for his life and divorce his wife.

Whether this is the case or not, few people know, and now Zhou Mingshan said that although the second uncle's move saved the life of the ninth girl, he also fell behind.

The nine girls who have no biological mother to take care of them fall into the hands of Ma, just want her to live, what kind of life she wants to be, and it is not Ma's decision yet?

As a result, the Nine Girls were raised to be what they are now!

Ma pointed to the east, she didn't dare to go west, she was submissive all day long, like a girl who had been calling Ma for more than five years.

Zhou Mingshan didn't know if the second uncle didn't know this situation, or if he thought that girls should be like this!

Secretly sighed, Zhou Mingshan didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Since there is nothing to do, then the ninth sister might as well stay and eat!"

Thinking of the things he ate every day in Chunhua Courtyard, Zhou Mingxuan lowered his head and prepared to agree.

But suddenly it occurred to me that the third uncle should go back to the inner courtyard for dinner at this time, it was not very convenient for her to be here, besides, she didn't dare to respond like this, and it was not easy for her mother to explain.

Looking at her palm-sized little face for a while, she was surprised, hesitated, embarrassed, and regretted for a while, Zhou Mingshan probably knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "My father is eating in the outer courtyard today, and it just so happens that we girls eat together!"

was guessed into doubts, Zhou Mingxuan's face turned red again, but after the first concern was dispelled, her nerves loosened a little, and finally the temptation of food defeated her fear.

It didn't take long for Weiyu to come in with a few girls carrying food boxes, swinging spoons and spoons, and after a while, there were four meats, four vegetables and eight dishes on the table.

Although it is just some home-cooked food, but because Zhou Mingshan is very picky in terms of diet, the third master invited a special person to take charge of the spoon, and a few dishes are good in appearance and fragrant, which can arouse people's appetite in an instant!

Zhou Mingshan nodded at the light rain and secretly praised her eyesight, obviously seeing the ninth girl coming, she quickly added two dishes.

Weiyu saluted quietly, and went down silently with a group of people.

Since the ninth girl saw this table of dishes, her eyes have not rolled again, and there is a faint sound of "cooing" in her stomach.

Seeing that she was wearing a half-new pink jacket, and her wrist seemed to be a little shorter, Zhou Mingshan frowned secretly.

The Ma family has done too much, even if Ming Xuan is born in the outer room, she is also the granddaughter of her grandfather, the daughter of the dignified marquis, looking at her current appearance, it is obvious that she is not as good as a decent girl, this is too unusual!

No wonder, every time Ming Xuan leaves, the Yuan family has to sigh for a long time, and when he turns around, he has to send someone to send some food to Ming Ling and Ming Qi, and also ask someone to take care of the people who call them, don't snub them!

Compared with his mother, Ma's difference is simply not half a star!
