Pear and Meizi are seventeen and fifteen this year, and they were both sold into the general's mansion as maids three years ago because of the poverty of their families. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info They didn't know the situation in the mansion very well, but the general was appointed sixteen years ago, and the steward Wang should have been a housekeeper in the mansion from the beginning.

That housekeeper Wang really watched her grow up.

In the past three years, in the eyes of Pears and Meizi, Steward Wang has treated people warmly. In addition to the accounts in the house firmly held by Erniang, all the miscellaneous things in the other houses are also taken care of by the Wang housekeeper. Even if these little maids and servants occasionally made some small mistakes and stabbed them in front of Steward Wang, Steward Wang never scolded him.

The pears are ok. Meizi was clumsy when she first entered the house, and she was the most impressed.

Once, Meizi and another maid were jointly responsible for sprinkling and sweeping the mourning hall, and accidentally knocked over the incense altar. It just so happened that Erniang and Steward Wang were there. was so frightened that Meizi suddenly knelt down and kowtowed again and again to admit her mistake.

Steward Wang smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, you get up and clean up, and you can respectfully worship again." ”

Looking at Steward Wang's kind smiling face, the panic in Meizi's heart immediately became much more steady.

However, Erniang didn't let go of Meizi so easily. Although Steward Wang had already said that it was okay, Erniang still opened her mouth and punished her for three months, and also punished her for not eating dinner that night. She saw that Steward Wang opened his mouth, but in the end, he only smiled sympathetically at her, and couldn't persuade Erniang.

After that, Erniang drove her away to sweep the floor outside the mourning hall. Meizi secretly looked inside. Erniang didn't let the other maid touch the incense altar. It was Erniang who cleaned up herself, put the incense altar back in its place, and then offered a stick of incense. At that time, Meizi always felt that the corners of Erniang's mouth were faintly smiling.

Hearing this, she also sneered in her heart, and immediately understood.

Meizi did make a mistake, and punished her for three months and a dinner, and it was not too heavy. That was an excuse for Erniang in front of Steward Wang. The matter of overturning the incense altar with the plum was punished more heavily, so that the two maids could be driven away, and Erniang was able to make incense in person.

After sneering, she couldn't say sympathy in her heart. Erniang is somewhat pitiful, she has been with the general for more years, but she has never been a wife, and even giving incense to her father-in-law and mother-in-law has to be so difficult to seize an excuse to blatantly go once.

Let's not talk about that for a moment.

Today is the second day. Yesterday, she had just instructed Steward Wang, and this morning Steward Wang reported that she had found Peach's family. Steward Wang's efficiency is really fast.

But the steward Wang said that Peach's family did not accept the twenty taels of silver sent by him, and the deed of sale was confiscated.

Now she is sitting in front of Peach's funeral hall and waiting, waiting for Peach's family to come and retrieve Peach's body.

It was noon, and Steward Wang went there in person an hour ago. Momoko's family lives in the city's civilian area, and it is estimated that they will be back soon.

At this time, she faintly heard the footsteps of four or five people from far to near.

She didn't move herself, and glanced at the pear. Pear nodded and went out.

After another two or three minutes, Steward Wang came in first. Before she could see clearly, the three people behind rushed in as soon as they entered the room and saw the only peach corpse placed in the center of the house. She was startled and frowned, it was too late to stop her.

The three of them threw themselves on Peach's corpse and wept. The white cloth covering Peach's body suddenly wrinkled, faintly revealing half of Peach's face.

"It's my mother, open your eyes and see. My mother is here to pick you up......"

The first old woman was not tall, her back was a little hunched, her forehead was a little white, and she never looked up, but she could faintly see that the old woman had deep wrinkles on her forehead. Momoko is only sixteen years old, and I heard that her mother is not yet forty. In this way, this old woman is much older than the steward Wang, who has been determined to be nearly fifty years old.

The old woman threw herself on Peach's body and cried, but her hands were raised in front of her. When she looked at it, she saw that the old woman's hands were weather-beaten, black and rough, the result of years of farming. I want to come to the poor farmhouse, and the woman works hard all the year round and grows old quickly. Alas-

"Oh you don't, you should open your eyes and look at your mother. You...... Why are you so ruthless...... Oh my God, what have I done......" The old woman kept crying, and kept crying for Peaches to open her eyes and look at her, but she never looked up at Peaches' face, which had been scratched by their crying and white cloth.

She had some sympathy for the old woman in her heart, but then she saw the old woman secretly withdraw one hand and pinch the man next to her.

The man was also crying faintly, but then he suddenly shouted loudly: "Sister, sister, I am your brother, do you remember me, open your eyes and look at me, sister, I miss you so much, why do you ...... Why are you ......?"

Gee!

The man did not look up. Just listening to him crying, this scene is not as good as his mother's doing. It's just a small cry, once you shout out loud, there is no crying in your voice.

She glanced at the man. The body is also short, but the man is always half a head taller than the two women next to him. I heard him call Momoko 'sister' over and over again, and that was Momoko's younger brother who was only one year younger. That's only fifteen years old, and there's still a long way to go. Looking at his body bones, there is some flesh compared to his mother, and a pair of hands that are also raised in front of him are quite white.

While she was looking at the man, the young woman who was on the man's side out of the corner of her eye also secretly looked at her.

The woman didn't cry out loud, but she sobbed lowly and looked decent. When she turned her eyes to look at the woman, the woman immediately bowed her head, but she was clever.

Looking at the age of this woman, it is not difficult to guess who she is.

She glanced at Steward Wang, and Steward Wang stepped forward to the three of them: "Raise your heads quickly, and see, this is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion." ”

As soon as Steward Wang's voice fell, she was startled again. The three of them had fallen to her lap in an instant. The man was okay and didn't dare to touch her. The old woman hugged her legs directly, and her hands were not small, and they scratched her a little.

She couldn't break free in a hurry. Steward Wang, Lizi and Meizi reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to help. The old woman didn't let go, and the housekeeper Wang was not very good at doing something to a woman because of etiquette, so he could only persuade her. The two maids, Pear and Plum, couldn't pull the old woman.

The old woman hugged her leg and kept howling: "Miss, you are the master of the child, you have to be the master of the child!"

She was no longer alarmed. The pear and the plum can't pull the old woman, and the housekeeper Wang is so good that she doesn't move. She waved her hand and motioned for Steward Wang and the two maids to step back, no need to persuade them again.

"Old woman, do you know that you scratched me?"
