A few maids and wives came out of Suosuo, and answered separately. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The old slave is sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard in a pile, ready to take them out and pour them. ”

"Mother He told the maid to go to the front yard to have a look, and Grandpa Guo can go home. ”

"Madame is going to rest, and Chunshan asked the old slave to fetch hot water. ”

"The maid is wiping the verandah. ”

“……”

After a few people finished answering one by one, Lu Shi swept the maid who answered "wiping the verandah", and asked, "What kind of verandah is wiped at night?"

When she asked, the maid panicked, knelt down with a "plop", and begged for mercy again and again.

Lu Shi didn't look at her, and said in a deep voice: "You all perform your duties, and there are some who don't react." This lazy and slippery person pulled down his slap for twenty and was punished to the pulp washing place on an errand. ”

After disposing of the people in the courtyard, Lu Shi turned back to the house. I went to see Chen's first, and when I saw that she was still asleep and had no intention of waking up, I motioned to Mother He, Chunshan, and three other first-class maids who served Chen's closely to come outside.

Just now, she dealt with her subordinates vigorously and resolutely, and the scale was in place, which made He's mother look at her with a little more awe.

She sat down slowly and looked at several people: "You are all people who serve your mother closely, I don't want to lose your face, but you watched your mother being stunned, and you deserve to be punished!"

"Please punish the young lady. ”

Lu Shi said slowly: "Mother He, why are you so careless in serving your mother for so many years? A few of you, a fine of one month. The good life will serve your mother's decoction, and the rest will be punished by yourself when your mother recovers. ”

After disposing of all this, Lu Shi pressed the corner of his forehead before returning to his Zhengchun Courtyard.

Looking out the window, the sky was about to dawn, and she had a terrible headache. Although it has been dealt with now, this farce in the Chungkook Mansion is bound to become the latest topic in Kyori.

Even though she was reluctant, the Zhongguo Mansion tossed for a night, and opened the door in the middle of the night to invite the imperial doctor, and the movement was not small, how could she hide it.

This future daughter-in-law has just won the favor of the Queen Mother, and Chen fell ill, what do people think?

If she could, she really didn't want to face such a situation. Forget it, she closed her eyes, and the boat went straight to the bridge.

……

The morning drum sounded in the palace, the door was wide open, and today was the day of the early dynasty of the hundred officials.

Mrs. Zhuang sent An Guogong out and was dressing up, Banmei walked in and curtsied about what happened in the Zhongguo Mansion last night.

Mrs. Zhuang put down the butterfly hairpin in her hand and smiled: "Sick?"

Banmei nodded yes.

"That's amazing. Mrs. Zhuang smiled.

This Chen doesn't know what to say about her. Falling ill at this time, doesn't it make it clear that she doesn't like Xu Wan to really have the blue eyes of the queen mother? Coupled with her reputation for always treating her concubines harshly, I'm afraid that there is anything to say now.

She also can't think of it, which cat doesn't steal, what does a man get by taking a concubine?

In this capital, don't say that a high-powered person, even the poor scholar once he is promoted, he will also take a concubine to try it. Look at the Pingguo Gong, the warbler Yanyan in the courtyard, is the Duchess of Pingguo not alive?

Zhongguo Gonggong accepted such a concubine, and he was made uproar by the Chen family, and the house was restless.

After thinking about it, she ordered: "You go to Xu's house to report that the Duchess of Zhongguo was sick last night, let Zhen'er prepare." At that time, I asked the carriage to pick her up, and I took her to see her future mother-in-law. ”

Now that Xu Wanzhen has married Wu Zhengxiang, Duchess Zhongguo is her future mother-in-law. The mother-in-law is sick, and the daughter-in-law should visit, which is a courtesy.

Xu Wanzhen's elders were supposed to take her to visit the patient, but her mother had passed away, and Mrs. Xu was old, and she was a generation higher than the Chen family in terms of generation. It was very inappropriate for her to take Xu Wanzhen there, and there was no reason for the woman's elders to rush to visit the patient.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhuang is at the same level as Chen, and as Xu Wanzhen's stepmother, it is natural for her to take on this matter.

As for what Chen thinks, whether she is willing to see Xu Wanzhen or not, that is what she can control. As long as you are on your side, you don't lose your courtesy.

……

In the Pingguo Mansion, the children all invited An to go out.

Zeng looked at Wang's mother, who was about to speak, and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Mother Wang's Shi Li smiled: "It's not that it's hard to say, Miss Fang Cai and the young masters are all here, and it's inconvenient for the old slave to say." ”

While combing Zeng's hair, she said: "It's gossip on the Zhongguo Mansion, just listen to it, Madame." Yesterday, the Queen Mother announced that Mrs. Zhuang's daughter-in-law Xu Wanzhen entered the palace alone, went in in the afternoon, and came out after leaving for dinner, obviously liking it tightly. Guess what's going on, ma'am?"

Zeng Shi looked at the mirror, picked up a silk dot emerald gold step shake in the makeup box, gestured next to the bun, and said with a smile: "She is a merchant's daughter, even if she is liked by the Queen Mother, will it hinder anyone's eyes?"

Mother Wang took the step shaker in her hand, firmly inserted it into the bun, and said, "It's not in the way of people's eyes, it's in the way of the eyes of her future mother-in-law, Duchess Zhongguo." Last night, Mrs. Chen fell ill and heard that she had been tossed all night. ”

Zeng Shi was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and said with a smile: "What is this called! She hates this concubine, and she is not so angry that she can't even tolerate a merchant girl." ”

"Who's to say it isn't!"

Zeng thought for a while: "Speaking of which, the Xu family and the Tu family are blood relatives. Last time, I was a guest in Mrs. Zhuang's courtyard and asked Xu Wanzhen about Manzhen, but she said a lot of good things. It seems that Manzhen has a good relationship with her, and you can help me pay attention to her affairs in the future. ”

Wang's mother should go down.

……

The capital is not big, and it is not small to say small.

This incident soon spread among the powerful circles and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

There are those who watch Chen's jokes, those who pity Xu Wanzhen for getting along with such an evil mother-in-law in the future, those who are jealous that Xu Wanzhen has won the favor of Empress Dowager Xiao, and so on. But no, no

Wu Shangshu Mansion, Wu Chenghe walked into the door with a gloomy face, took off the jade crown on his head, and fell to the couch by the window.

Wu Jiao was burying her head in needlework, looked up at him in surprise, and asked, "What's the matter?" Why did you come back at this hour?"

"What's wrong?" Wu Chenghe snorted coldly, picked up the tea on the table and poured it, and immediately squirted out, slammed the teacup to the ground, and with a "bang", it fell into several petals on the ground.

"On a hot day, you put such a pot of hot tea here, trying to burn me?" Wu Chenghe asked.

Wu Jiao's stomach was full of grievances, she had just let the tea brewed by Hongying, and she was going to drink it after it cooled, but who knew that he would come back at this time?

She is a girl who grew up with the tip of Chen's heart, when has she ever suffered such a grievance.

He threw the sewing basket and stood up suddenly: "The surname is Wu, what did you say when you came to ask for marriage, have you forgotten?"
