Chapter 046: Negotiation
Seeing Zhou Mingshan smiling, Zhou Mingzhang was also a little embarrassed, and stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Fourth sister is merciful, the second brother will buy you the jade noodle bee cake for Juqingzhai another day." ”
Jade noodle bee cake is a new dim sum from the time-honored brand Juqingzhai in Beijing, I heard that it is the flavor of Huaiyang, the entrance is soft, the fragrance is strong, several sisters in the family like to eat, often ask people to go out to buy.
"Am I just coveting your bite?" Zhou Mingshan deliberately stiffened his face to scare him.
Zhou Mingzhang suddenly panicked, thinking that Zhou Mingshan really wanted to sue, so he turned in circles in place and said, "Fourth sister, you can say whatever you want, I will buy it for you!"
I look anxious and don't know what to do, and then I think about it, it's really a bit like an ant on a hot pot.
"Puff......" Zhou Mingshan couldn't help laughing anymore, and Fang Cai's depression was swept away.
The second brother Zhou Mingzhang is not like his mare Ma, nor is he like his sister Zhou Mingke, Zhou Mingshan often played with him when he was a child.
"Okay, fourth sister, dare you to tease me!" Zhou Mingzhang also reacted, pointing at Zhou Mingshan and complaining angrily.
"Who told you not to go to class and come to this Yunxuezhai!" Zhou Mingshan smiled and said, "Let's go, there are still a few sisters in there who haven't left." ”
This is the back house, although they are all relatives, but there are also Yang Zhaohui and Meng Yuechan who can learn the rules, so they should always pay attention.
"Oh, oh......" Zhou Mingzhang was a little excited, nodded in agreement, and looked inside. Seeing Zhou Mingshan looking at him, he smiled again, and Fang turned around and left.
"Does the second master often run here?" Zhou Mingshan asked Hongyun, who followed.
"The day before yesterday, when the slave maid went back to get the cloak for the girl, she came out and met Guixi next to the second master, and I thought she was looking for the third girl, but I didn't pay attention. ”
It seems that Red Cloud has also found out that something is wrong.
The third sister asked for leave today and didn't come at all, and the second brother definitely couldn't have come to find the third sister, so what did he come here for?
After thinking about it, Zhou Mingshan didn't have a clue, so she put it away.
In the blink of an eye, the first month came out, and the Zhou sisters learned the rules for about half a month.
During this period, except for Zhou Mingluo and Yang Zhaohui, who were occasionally taken to the palace of Ning'an County, the sisters hardly slacked off for a day.
It is said that the Hou Ye specially confessed, and Aunt Wang did not dare not fail to fulfill her responsibilities.
On this day, Mrs. Hou's Yang has set dinner to be used together in Chunhui Hall, and will see the results of the girls' recent studies.
When it was time for dinner, everyone came to Chunhui Hall.
Entering the main courtyard, there have been many people serving here, the eldest grandmother Wen with the ** milk Ma, the third grandmother Yuan, the fourth grandmother Zhang and Chunhui Hall to serve the girl began to set up tables and chairs, holding the cup, the cup, the spoon, the soup.
Mrs. Hou Yang sat alone on the front couch, because the protagonists of today's children were several girls, so empty chairs were added on both sides of Mrs. Hou, and Aunt Wang and several girls sat together, and the wives set up another seat.
arranged for Yang Zhaohui and Meng Yuechan to sit separately, and a few of the Ming Luo sisters came up to sit down, and the others sat down in turn. The maid next to her insisted on whisking dust, gargling, and towel, and the close-fitting girl stood on the side.
After the meal was over, everyone held tea and rinsed their mouths without mentioning it.
Mrs. Hou looked satisfied and said with a smile: "It seems that you sisters have worked hard in the past few days, I am very pleased, this is the style of the girls! As for the rest, I won't say more, I believe you all already know! I hope that in the remaining days, you can continue to be diligent!"
The Mingluo sisters all stood up and agreed.
After that, Yang asked Aunt Wang to comment on everyone's situation.
Aunt Wang was also not polite, and her words were direct and ruthless.
The second girl, Zhou Mingluo, is too arrogant and can't see others in her eyes; the third girl, Zhou Mingke, is too troubled by gains and losses, but loses her generosity; the fifth girl, Zhou Mingjin, gives people the feeling that she is too small-minded; and the sixth girl, Zhou Mingling, is careless, and needs to be more careful......
Aunt Wang said a lot, but after all, the eight girls had problems, only the fourth girl, Zhou Mingshan, the seventh girl, Zhou Mingqi and Yang Zhaohui, were still acceptable, and they barely showed the five or six successful husbands they had learned recently.
As soon as the call ended, several girls were red-faced, and they were eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. is so embarrassed in front of the whole family, how will you see people in the future?
Zhou Mingshan was a little surprised, she had tried so hard to pretend, but she still made a bird, and now she will be remembered by Zhou Mingluo and Zhou Mingke for a long time!
After a few more gossips, Yang motioned for everyone to disperse.
When the Chunhui Hall was quiet again, Xingyuan waited for Zhou Jiancheng to come out of the inner room.
"Yesterday, you said that Sister Shan didn't want to enter the palace?"
Yang bowed down and replied, "Yes, the concubine asked her before, and she said so." Later, the third family also mentioned it twice, saying that they didn't want Sister Shan to enter the palace. ”
"Wouldn't that be one less?" Zhou Jiancheng frowned.
Even if it wasn't his own grandmother, the Yang family couldn't help but rise up a little ridicule, anyway, he looked at such a child, and they were all granddaughters, but they couldn't wait to send them out one by one for a future!
However, it just happened to be what she wanted!
"Sister Luo and Sister Ke don't need to say, Sister Jin, Sister Ling, and Sister Qi are both concubines, and they are also younger, and besides, isn't it inappropriate for our family to send so many girls in at once?"
Seeing Zhou Jiancheng pondering, Yang continued: "So, I'm thinking about it to see if I can count Hui'er?"
"Hui'er?" Zhou Jiancheng raised his eyebrows, "Do you think it's appropriate to send a person whose parents are both dead?"
Yang's breath was so blocked that he almost couldn't get up in his eyes, but he trembled with hatred.
This is the "beloved" she married, how many years have she never saved face. Others say that she was born as a concubine and was able to marry into the Hou Mansion as Mrs. Hou, I don't know how much high incense she had in her previous life, but she couldn't see her secret suffering, let alone those injustices in the past!
Let's go, I've endured it for so many years, for the sake of Brother Jue, why not endure it a few more times!
"Even if both parents die, the concubine Yue in the palace is not the same? Besides, Yihui'er's appearance may not be able to stay!"
Hui'er's background is there, even if she finds an ordinary family, she may not be able to live very well.
"Hmph! Compared with Concubine Yue, when Concubine Yue entered the palace, she still had an uncle!"
Yang was angry again, which was a satire that her brother was idle, and he knew that he came to fight the autumn breeze all day long.
wanted to refute, but she couldn't say anything, and it was because her mother's family had no one, so she couldn't raise her head. A woman lives like a mother and a son in the world, but no one in her mother's family says it, and her son is dead, so what's the point of caring about this!
