The motive for the collusion between Shen Fu and Aunt Lin, Hou Ye did not sue her, but since she had these previous circumstances, she could also guess a thing or two.

What Aunt Lin will do next, or what the Shen family will do next, is probably in Aunt Lin's every move at the banquet today.

Aunt Lin personally made a Hunan skirt and a Taoist robe for her and Hou Ye, embroidered a round waist lotus, wrapped small jewelry and gold cloves, and gave it to the aunts in the two rooms, and ate the banquet very obediently without much words, even Aunt Zhao, the biological mother of the three girls who was close to Ping Suli, did not say much.

This seems normal for an aunt who is grounded because of "lax discipline".

can not only do the whole courtesy, but also not talk too much, as if he really calmed down and thought about the grounding.

The clothes given to her and the Hou Ye, she had already instructed Linglong to take them down and repair them inside and out, just in case, and as for the gifts for the aunts, there might be an unexpected gain.

Wang remembers that she had listened to the guard's mother-in-law more than once that Aunt Lin was very precious to the purses she had embroidered with her own hands, and that she liked them more than the ornaments in them.

When Aunt Lin sent the purse out during the dinner, she also glanced at the purse from a distance, and the color and pattern were the same as the purse made by Aunt Lin on weekdays, and there was no big difference.

If you really want to talk about the difference, it is nothing more than that the embroidery is more delicate and sparse, and the pattern is more light and elegant.

It doesn't matter.

It was getting late, and the second lady Zhou said goodbye to her and took the children back to the second room.

Wang looked at the bunch of concubines around her, and felt that his Hou Ye was still very distressed.

Aunt Liu is the dowry girl beside her, after she gave birth to her son Qin Yuan, she obeyed her mother's persuasion to open her face and become an aunt, and gave birth to the eldest girl Hui Rong to raise in front of her; Aunt Lin was carried into the door by Mrs. Tai and gave birth to four girls;

As the wife of the main room, the Hou Ye has always trusted and loved, unlike the second master, which is somewhat absurd.

not only carried the third aunt, but the girls who served around the second lady were also contaminated.

Fortunately, although Zhou is kind on the outside, he is also very strong on the inside, and he didn't make the second room full of smoke and miasma all day long.

But after all, there are still more concubines in the third line, and there are also a few more concubines.

If it is placed in front of her eyes, I am afraid it will be very eye-catching.

But looking back, when it comes to the heir, there is only one man in the long room, which is really not a prosperous person, and if Aunt Lin can give birth to a boy, I don't know what the Hou Ye will do.

Linglong called her a few times, she came back to her senses from her thoughts, whispered a few words to Linglong, Linglong turned around and walked out, and she took the glass and pearls that she had used recently back to Jiamutang.

After a short time, Linglong also returned to Jiamutang, and replied in a low voice, and Wang took off the hairpin ring to wash with water.

As soon as she cleaned up, Hou Ye entered the house, his eyes bright.

As long as he drank too much, his eyes would get brighter and brighter, and the eyes of all her children were very similar to their father's. Clear and translucent, in front of her, joy and sorrow can be seen through at a glance, as if she can say a thousand words.

It's very intoxicating.

Wang lowered his head and adjusted his sleeves, feeling that he had been married for so long, and he could still think about these things at a young age, which was really a little blushing.

Qin Weien waved his hand to make the maids in the house retreat, and Wang stepped forward to change his clothes and spread his hair.

"The concubine body just instructed Linglong to send someone to carefully watch the few concubines who received Aunt Lin's purse in the second room, and they will report as soon as there is news. ”

Qin Weien nodded quietly, and did not mean to speak.

She instructed the girl outside the house to fetch water and wash him herself, and suddenly heard him say in a shallow voice: "When your brother came to give the New Year's gift before the festival, he said that your mother had chosen a few capable housekeepers and mothers-in-law, and I stayed in your wedding house." There are only a few maids around you now, which is somewhat inconvenient. ”

She was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that the wet nurse who used to be used by her side had a recurrence of her old illness in the autumn, and when she saw that it was not very good, she asked her family to take her back to recuperate with peace of mind, and she didn't have to wait for her anymore.

The other housekeepers and mothers, the kitchen went to a Li family to take charge of the situation, and other things in the yard had to be arranged, so that after all the odds were calculated, there was really no useful manpower.

"I think it's very appropriate for Linglong to do things, after all, he is the candidate selected by the Hou Ye"

"There is a Duan clan, I think it is very credible, and it is reassuring to do things. There are many and complicated things for the New Year, let her come into the house to help you, and you can also have a good rest for a few days. ”

She suddenly didn't know what to say.

Linglong was arranged to serve by her side before, calm, generous and diligent, very reliable, and those housekeepers were almost indistinguishable, and she forgot about the lack of manpower around her for a while.

But after all, Linglong is a girl's family, and some things are inconvenient to do, especially such a major event as arranging the New Year in the mansion.

She bowed her head and said: "Nuan Nuan is also learning to host the matter of feeding, and Hou Ye might as well also pay attention to her and choose a housekeeper mother to manage her in the house." ”

Qin Weien thought about it, felt that it was necessary, and there was no suitable candidate for a while, so he picked up the cup and drank a sip of water, and found that it was prepared honey water, glanced at his wife and smiled lightly, and suddenly remembered to pick Qiong.

He didn't know how to keep Cai Qiong by Nuan Nuan's side.

"What do you think of Mrs. Jiang?

The Wang family was obviously stunned for a moment, didn't Mrs. Jiang want to teach the girls in the house to practice calligraphy, if she stayed in the Huizhi house, wouldn't she look down on others a little?

"I am an old friend of Jiang Niangzi's master, and when I send a letter to her master, I will leave her behind, her life experience is also quite miserable, and it is not convenient to live in a Taoist temple on the outskirts of Beijing. The other girls are also very good at calligraphy, painting, poetry and books, but Nuan Nuan is a 'not enterprising', leaving her to teach the girls to write that day, isn't it just for Nuan Nuan? I see that Nuan Nuan also likes Jiang Niangzi very much, so it is better to stay in the Yuhua Pavilion and take care of her. "It's also a shame that his wife spoils her little daughter too much.

Wang couldn't think of the need to refuse, Jiang Niangzi read well, the words were good, and the most important thing was that she had good medical skills, and it was not a big deal to be a female gentleman in the house. Hou Ye seemed to always know her thoughts, "Hou Ye thinks this is appropriate, so be it." It's just that she can't be regarded as a housekeeper, she should be half a teacher, and she is not wronged by Jiang Niangzi. ”

***

Hui Zhi also scattered her hair, changed into a comfortable middle coat, and listened to the news brought back by Yifang: "The purse that Aunt Lin gave to Aunt Zhao is no different from the one given to several other aunts, the girl has a good night's sleep, and wants to come for a few days, even if we can't find the news, the third girl can get the news." ”、

That's right, if Aunt Lin wants to pass on the word, or have any action, probably the third sister knows best. Although the third sister's biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and the Lin family are very good, she has already told the third sister about these things, and presumably Suihua must have her own decision.

She just waited quietly.

But she became melancholy again, in the Cheng'an Hou Mansion, she didn't know whether it was the needlework room or the news that the big kitchen had sent to Cong Qingyuan.

Did people from outside the mansion infiltrate their own mansions, or did there appear ghosts in the mansion?

She was still not at ease: "The past few days have passed, what is the movement of the girl named Nuo'er in the kitchen? Jasper can be divided in the courtyard? Have the people in the needlework room been to Congqing Courtyard again?"

"The kitchen has been very busy lately, and Nuo'er has not seen Jasper again, but the people in the sewing room have been called by Aunt Lin to send gold and silver embroidery threads, and although the mother in the sewing room has sent the little girl away, she is still a little indignant. said, 'Since my aunt is pregnant, don't do more needlework, and the children in the province will be small-minded in the future'. ”

The woman who took Fang learned to speak very similarly, and suddenly amused a room of people.

Hui Zhi's mood has improved for some reason.

is a father and brother who are worried about things outside, Aunt Lin should not know that she is being stared at, with her reminder, the third sister can handle it easily when she enters the palace.

She just quietly followed Senior Sister Jiang to study medicine and listen to the affairs of Silent Valley, and this year would soon pass.

Senior Sister Jiang's medicine is very useful, and she often feels very clear in her head now, and she can think about things clearly. This is probably the "Lingtai Qingming" mentioned in the book, right?

But she thought of Senior Brother Pei inexplicably.

She pestered Senior Sister to tell Senior Brother Pei about it, but she didn't tell Senior Sister Jiang that Senior Brother Pei was Wuwei Hou Shizi.

Senior Sister Jiang told her that Senior Brother Pei entered the valley because Uncle Tu Anqing saved him who was chased and killed by robbers, and when he entered the valley, his mother was killed by the bandits.

Even the corpse capital was not saved.

She vaguely remembered that Mrs. Wu Weihou at the plum banquet was very young.

It must be a stepmother.

For some reason, her mood suddenly darkened.
