Nian Xia is Wang's mother's confidant, the affairs of the house, as long as she knows, she thinks she should be told, she never covers it up for others, as for whether to tell the old lady or not, it all depends on Wang's mother whether she says it or not, she does her duty.

It is the four big girls in Changsong Courtyard, in the spring, summer, autumn, and winter, Wang's mother likes to read summer the most, because she is smart enough and obedient enough.
After returning to the main hall, Nian Xia leaned into Wang's mother and muttered, it happened that the old lady was in a good mood and said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, say it louder, I will listen to it too." ”
Nian Xia glanced at Wang's mother, Wang's mother nodded, and she said, "Just now on the fork in the road in front of Changsong Courtyard, the third girl, the fourth girl and the seventh girl quarreled with the second girl, the slave didn't dare to step forward, so she quietly dodged, they asked the second girl to return the money to the eldest lady who bought Duan Yan in the previous big house, the second girl was angry and asked the old lady to call the shots for her, and they stopped her, the second girl said forget it this time, next time it's like this, she can't help but beat people......." ”
The smile on the old lady's face slowly froze, and finally turned iron.
Mother Wang persuaded the old lady to stop her anger, how could the old lady not be angry, Muyang Hou was so generous, Bofu was still shameless?!
"Let the three of them go to the Buddha Hall to kneel, can't copy fifty family rules, don't participate in the family banquet in the evening!"
When the old lady spoke, a maid went to pass the word.
Gu Yinlan heard the old lady punish her, and suddenly became angry, thinking that it was Minglan who sued, so she said that this time forget it, turn her face and go to sue, shameless villain!
A few people didn't want to kneel, so they went to the old lady to plead, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, Gu Xuelan's maid Chunlan grabbed her and said, "Girl, the slave maid remembered, the slave maid turned around and saw a maid in a blue and blue skirt, it was Sister Nianxia, ......." ”
Ordinary maids, when they heard the girl arguing, they didn't dare to talk nonsense, and she didn't care, but Nian Xia was different, she would tell Mother Wang that Nian Xia's style of acting had already been taught.
Gu Yinlan twisted the embroidered handkerchief angrily, and didn't dare to enter the house again, lest the old lady be angry and the punishment would be heavier.
A few people went to the Buddha hall in a gloomy manner, knelt there to copy the house rules, and scolded Minglan while copying.
And Minglan, after going to Youlan Garden, went around and returned to Frost Garden.
After returning to the house, Yan's mother poured her tea and said, "Before, a maid saw the girl and the second girl pulling each other, was it because of a dispute over the five thousand taels of Duan Yan?"
Minglan was holding the tea cup, the tea was fragrant, she didn't speak, Bizhu said, "It's not because of this, they are too annoying!"
Mother Yan sighed, looked at Minglan and said, "If you want me to say, the girl doesn't have to ask for the five thousand taels, the eldest lord failed to be promoted, our lord has been promoted, and it is always not a taste in my heart, the lord has always been generous, and if the five thousand taels of girls are not returned to the eldest lord, the lord will make up for it sooner or later." ”
Minglan glanced at Yan's mother, twisted her brows and said, "Then Yan's mother means that in order not to embarrass my father, I will return the five thousand taels?"
Mother Yan saw that Minglan seemed to hesitate between her eyebrows, and she was already shaking, so she strengthened her strength and said, "The girl is sensible, the master loves you the most." ”
Minglan smiled, "Mother Yan is afraid that she doesn't know yet, the third sister was punished, just because she asked me to return the five thousand taels to the eldest aunt, which made my grandmother unhappy, and you came to persuade me again, is it wrong for my grandmother to punish them, I did something wrong?"
Yan's mother was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "The girl is right...... ”
Minglan put down the teacup heavily, and said, "I'm naturally right, they keep saying that the second room has a close relationship with the big house, and they shouldn't be so divided, so who is our second room with, and uncle?
What does my father do, I can't control it as a daughter, I don't think my father will let me wronged myself, how can I say it from my mother's mouth, but it becomes that if I don't return the five thousand taels to the long house, my father won't hurt me, and I will ask my father at the family banquet later!"
Minglan's voice was slightly annoyed, and the crisp voice hit Yan's mother's heart, but it was like a heavy hammer, and she was suffocated for a moment after the beating.
That's not what she meant!
Yan's mother hurriedly said, "The girl misunderstood me, I didn't mean that......." ”
Minglan tilted his head to look at her, "That's not what you mean, then what do you mean?"
The voice was as light as the catkins on the lakeside, but Yan's mother heard the aggressive meaning, and she hurriedly said, "The slave is the girl's nurse, and everything she says and does is for the good of the girl, but I think that there is no need to quarrel over money and divide the sisters, and they can't kiss each other." ”
Minglan suddenly smiled, Yan's mother who was laughing was terrified, her back was cold, and she only heard Minglan say, "If the third sister and their nurse have Yan's mother, you are half dutiful, and they will not ask me for silver today, let alone quarrel over some silver, and Ming'er will let her grandmother change them for a nurse, and there will be more nurses like Yan's mother in the house, and the whole house will be harmonious." ”
Yan's mother's throat seemed to be choked, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Bizhu saw it and said, "The girl doesn't say it, I haven't found out yet, the three girls and their nurses try their best to help them get silver, why is it strict mother, but you always persuade the girl to take out the silver, that's five thousand taels, you can buy a lot of clothes and headdresses, and it's not robbed, it's the old lady who let the big house for the girl, and it's just like that, and there must be many people behind her back who say that the girl's brain is in water." ”
Besides, if she really wants to pay it back, the girl has no money to pay back, so she asked Steward Liu to buy charcoal.
Bizhu Balabala poured beans for a while, Yan's mother glared at her fiercely, she talked to the girl, asked her to interject, and did a good thing for her!
Here, Minglan was impatient, waved his hand and said, "You go out, you don't need to serve here." ”
Yan's mother had no choice but to retreat, and when she turned around, her face was a little terrifying.
Minglan held her chin, thinking about things, just now in Changsong Courtyard, in a flash of inspiration, she thought of what birthday gift to prepare for the old lady, but it was a little more difficult......
After pondering for two quarters of an hour, Minglan got up and went to the study, picked up his pen and painted.
Draw one, lose one.
Soon, there was a pile of waste paper on the ground.
Fortunately, after half an hour, I finally finished the drawing, and when the ink dried, I carefully rolled it up again.
Bizhu stood aside, marveling at Minglan's thoughts, and said, "The old lady must like this birthday gift for the girl, but it is troublesome to embroider, and a month is definitely not enough." ”
Minglan smiled, "I didn't say I embroidered it myself." ”
"Ah......?"
"Ming'er is out of the house. ”
She doesn't want to stay up late doing needlework and burn out her eyes, she doesn't care about money in this life, and she will never wronged herself if she can do what she can do with money!
When he was done, Minglan stretched out and walked out of the study.
