He Jiaxian hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

The fourth grandmother said as if unintentionally: "What about your daughter, you said you would bring it over, why didn't you bring it?" Bring me to see when you come tomorrow. ”

He Jiaxian was afraid to cry and disturb her story, so she didn't dare to bring it, but at this moment, the fourth grandmother was so considerate, she was overjoyed, and quickly agreed.

It's just that there was no ice delivered today.

To tell the truth, He Jiaxian was willing to come over and follow the fourth grandmother to tell the story, and it was Bing's idea to fight and return Bing's kindness.

A Weng Bing can guarantee that Ran Ran can get a good night's sleep, and it's nothing if she works harder.

Looking at the bracelet on his arm, it looked very valuable, but He Jiaxian was a little disappointed: no matter how expensive things are, they can't buy ice for use.

On the way home, Jixiang said: "Juxiang set the slave's words, and the slave accidentally said that the ice was misappropriated by the grandmother." ”

"Yes." No wonder the ice is not given.

Ju Xiang also said, tell us to pay more attention to the aunt and grandmother. Say that our aunt and grandmother are pitiful. "Auspicious and said.

He Jiaxian was very surprised: "What do you say? ”

Ji Xiang shook his head: "She only said this, not explicitly." Presumably just hearing rumors. ”

When I went home, it was noon, and Jixiang went to the kitchen to pass the meal, but was replied: "The eldest grandmother said that the second grandmother didn't come back to eat and didn't prepare your dishes." ”

Ji Xiang said angrily: "Isn't it better to take out some of the dishes that night first?" ”

The kitchen has long been Zhou's world, and the cook lady is not afraid at all when she sees auspiciousness, and raises her eyebrows and says: "Everyone has a share, and the dishes in the evening are arranged to be fried at night...... If we use it first and it will be gone at night, and grandma won't let us buy it again. It's useless for the auspicious girl to get angry, who told the second grandmother that she didn't arrange it herself. ”

Ji Xiang sneered and said, "I see that you are a communiqué personal vendetta at all. ”

The cook also sneered: "The auspicious girl loves to think and think, anyway, this meal can't be cooked." ”

Jixiang couldn't, so he could only come back and go back to He Jiaxian, and said a little depressedly: "The good thing that grandma did, the whole house shouted that you didn't let you use the ice, which offended the masters." He also said that you took the lead in cutting the clothes, and the maids and women also looked at us unpleasantly. She saved a lot of money and took it to the master to ask for credit. ”

How can He Jiaxian not know how to be tired of this, but he can only suffer this dumb loss.

In the past, when she first arrived at Fangfu, there was no way to ask for help left and right, but the Zhou family was quite enthusiastic about her, and often pretended to have no intention of helping her out of the siege.

But now that time has passed, Zhou's has suddenly changed and become a smiling tiger.

Or, Zhou is such a person, but she was weak before, and she looked pitiful; Now she can stand alone, but she looks uncomfortable, and she stumbles openly and secretly.

As he was talking, someone outside said that he had sent ice from the house.

He Jiaxian hurriedly got up to greet him.

walked outside the corner gate, but found that Zhou was already sitting there with a frosty face, holding a gauze fan in his hand, as if someone had provoked her to be unhappy.

"Yo, my brother and sister walk quite fast, I think I'm afraid I know?" Zhou's skin snorted coldly without smiling.

When He Jiaxian looked at it, he saw that the subordinates from the mansion were holding a piece of ice in their hands, with a note pasted on it, and the four big characters were particularly eye-catching: "Ran Ran is special." ”

Only then did I understand why Zhou was angry - she was angry and embarrassed.

He Jiaxian ordered Jixiang to take the ice, and rewarded two taels of silver to the people from the house, and was about to go back, when the Zhou family caught up with him in a weird way: "Brother and sister, I see that there is no dry brother who is afraid of heat, why don't I exchange a basin of ice for you." My brother hasn't slept well for several days, and I'm crying so hot at night that my heart breaks when I hear it. ”

Before He Jiaxian could speak, Jixiang had already grabbed Bai and said, "Our second grandmother has come back, and she hasn't eaten yet." ”

Zhou Shi hurriedly said: "Oh, look at me, I'm busy, you went out in the morning thinking that you wouldn't come back to eat, so you took care of the meal from home." I saw you come back at noon but forgot about it. After speaking, he hurriedly asked his mother-in-law to prepare.

After giving the order, he followed He Jiaxian all the way to Tinglan Courtyard, and when the food came up, he looked at Weng Bing with a blank eye.

He Jiaxian said: "Since the fourth grandmother issued an order, saying that it is for Ranran, I don't want to disobey it, if I ask, I won't lie to others, sister-in-law, you say yes." ”

Zhou saw that she was using the fourth grandmother to pressure herself, and she was angry, but she could only nod.

"But it's too hot this day, if Brother Qian'er is really hot at night and can't sleep, let him come over and sleep with Ran Ran." He Jiaxian felt that this was the best way, in the end, he was a cousin and brother, and he cultivated more feelings.

"That's not possible, but it's so active, what if you press our godbrother?" Zhou immediately retorted, but then remembered that this was someone's ice, so he said: "Why don't you use this Weng for our brother first, and you go to Congfu more, won't there be one?" Ask more from the fourth grandmother for some, anyway, she likes you so much. ”

This ice was originally from the fourth grandmother's distress and from her own share, maybe they don't have enough for themselves.

He Jiaxian looked at Zhou's greedy and senseless appearance, but he thought that she was all for his brother, so he didn't say anything, but said strongly: "If you want to, bring it over, if you don't want it, forget it." ”

Zhou Shi thought for a long time before shaking his head and said: "Brother Qian'er is too young, and he will cry when he changes places, I'm afraid he won't be able to adapt to it." ”

He Jiaxian lowered his head to eat and stopped talking about this topic.

Zhou himself was bored, looked at the Weng Bing hatefully, stared at He Jiaxian's back eating, and left unwillingly.

When I got out of Tinglan Courtyard, I met the maid of Heshoutang and said that Chen had lost his temper again.

Zhou thought about it, went to the utility room to bring out the peony, and asked her to go back to Tinglan Courtyard to serve.

When she arrived at Heshoutang, Chen saw her coming empty-handed, and said angrily: "Tell you to buy ice, what about ice, are you going to heat me to death?" ”

After saying that, when she saw Peony walking behind her and came out to salute, her anger disappeared by half.

Zhou said: "I also want to buy it for you, but unfortunately there is no silver on the book to spend." It's not like buying ice once, if you buy it every day, you will have to pay a few hundred taels in a summer day, and I don't have the money to make up for that deficit. As he spoke, he pointed at the peony: "I can't help my mother when I buy ice, I still have the right to mix this peony, so I'll send it back to you quickly." ”

Chen glanced at Peony, but felt satisfied, but he was unwilling to be sent away in the cold like this, and slapped the table with his hand with a shocking sound: "Peony should have come back a long time ago, but you didn't have the eyesight to see it, so I remembered it at this time." Ice is also to be bought. The master is not such a stingy person...... You must be the one who detains me! ”

Zhou's face was aggrieved: "How dare I, I have always been obedient to you, when you asked me to take 10,000 taels of private housing to subsidize the deficit in the public middle school, did I say half a word?" Now that there is no ice in the house, it is the idea of my younger brother and sister, and she said that she wants to save it. You know, she also served as a family for a few months, and her father didn't listen to what she said. It's not just you who have been laid off, it's gone. ”

After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said: "But I said something that shouldn't be said behind my back, I was stupid, I thought she was really trying to save money, and even her daughter was hot together." Unexpectedly, people have the ability, climb up from home, and there is ice sent over every day. I said that I would give Brother Qian'er nothing, but I didn't give it, and I said that I would use it for Ranran. ”

"Shameless! Shameless! Chen was very angry when he heard it: "A girl is also worthy of using ice?" Our godbrother is the eldest son and grandson of the Fang family, so naturally he has to be good first. Something, messed up, humiliated. ”

Zhou muttered, "Isn't it?" Speaking of which, you see that this morning and dusk will not come. Father said that you should not go out, but he didn't say that she could be unfilial and avoid these etiquette. Even I come every day. ”

Chen was about to get angry, but Peony heard the clue and hurriedly reminded him: "But the old man allowed the second grandmother not to come to ask for peace, and wanted to accompany the second master to study." "If the Chen family quarrels over this matter, won't they offend Master Fang again, and they don't have to think about going out anymore.

Seeing that the trick of fanning the flames was discovered, Zhou Shi hurriedly said: "But she often goes to Aunt Mei to say goodbye." I see, I don't take your grandmother seriously. ”

Chen couldn't hold back anymore when he heard this, and the little reason he had just been pulled back by Peony was all gone, and he slapped the table and said angrily, "Call her over to me." ”

Peony immediately persuaded: "Madame, let's take the medicine first, and then take care of the disease first." ”

Chen felt that Peony was holding his arm tightly, and was very dissatisfied, and said to Zhou: "Go and call her, just say that I am not feeling well, and call her to come over to serve the sick." ”

Zhou suddenly went on his toes.

Peony was slapped to the ground by Chen's backhand, and her face was red: "It's against you, don't think that Mother Jin accepted you as a goddaughter, and she will take care of my decision." ”

"Slaves don't dare." Peony hurriedly prostrate on the ground and kowtowed: "It's just that the slave heard a few words outside, and I really can't bear to keep you in the dark, madam." ”

Seeing that she looked sincere, not like a fraud, Chen softened his expression slightly: "What did you hear?" ”

"The slave maid heard that as soon as the eldest grandmother was out of confinement, she went to ask the second grandmother to return the housekeeping rights." Peony said the first sentence first, and looked at Chen's face tentatively.

"So what? Grandma don't come back, do you let the second daughter-in-law's slut take charge of my food, clothing, housing and transportation? Chan was unimpressed.

Peony hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't mean that, the eldest grandmother is in power is certainly better than the second grandmother in power." However, looking at the grandmother like this, do you think she will hand over the housekeeping after you go out? The slave has the courage to say a word, but I am afraid that the eldest grandmother is better than the second grandmother, and I don't want you to go out. ”

Chen was shocked, she just thought about He Jiaxian's disobedience and obedience, but she didn't think of this fatal stake, but at this moment she listened to Peony's words, but she was a little vigilant, and raised her chin to signal her to get up and speak.

Peony hurriedly patted the ashes on her body, bowed her head respectfully and said: "The slave maid used to be on an errand in Heshoutang, and the people who went out to talk to the slave maid were all three points to please and seven points to stammer, and none of them told the truth. Later, the slaves and maids went to the miscellaneous courtyard to do chores, and the most inferior maids and maids said a lot of really heart-wrenching words to the slaves and maids. ”

"They said that the second grandmother was kind and generous, although she didn't have a lot of money, she never took a penny from others, and she didn't fight." Peony said: "Moreover, she will never declare her personal vendetta, the slave maid thought that she sent the slave maid over, but later found out that it was the eldest grandmother." ”

When Chen heard this, he was a little angry: "What benefits did you receive from her to speak for her like this?" ”

Peony was so frightened that she didn't dare, knelt down and bowed her head silently.

Seeing that she looked honest, there was no one else to rely on, Chen got up and went to the house, sat and drank a sip of tea, but as soon as he entered the mouth, he fell down with the tea bowl: "Bring me any Chen tea." ”

Seeing this, Peony hurriedly went over and explained, "This tea is in the hands of the grandmother. ”

Only then did Chen listen to it and glance at the peony, and his heart was mixed.

She has always felt that the Zhou family is loyal and filial to her, even if she is cold, she is not willing to think in that direction. What's more, Zhou gave birth to a grandson, the eldest grandson. They are a family, and they are a relationship of both prosperity and loss.

But at this moment, I have to seriously think about Peony's words.

Peony immediately knelt down and explained, "The slave will not say bad things about the eldest grandmother to deceive you. Who you are, you can see everything really clearly. Now it's just that I can't get out in this Heshoutang, and those people are not loyal, so I don't report anything to you. But the slave couldn't get angry. ”

"Grandma is now in charge of the entire Fang Mansion, although delicious food and drink are waiting for you. But the slave maid heard that the uncle wanted to intercede with the master, but was stopped by the grandmother. Looking at her current performance, does she want you to be in charge again? She just wants to borrow your hand to rectify the second grandmother, you see if this is the truth. ”

"But the slave dares to say a heart-wrenching word to Madame, Madame and Grandma have different purposes, you must want to take care of the house again." Peony said the words in Chen's heart, and he was relieved to see that Chen was not as angry as he was just now.

"Get up." Chen was finally more kind to Peony: "Maybe what you said is right, I can't lose my previous wariness of her just because she gave birth to a son?" I forgot that she was stingy and calculating, and she really couldn't do a big deal. But in the past, there was a golden lady who always reminded me, but now that there is no her, I really love to forget a lot. ”

"The slave will mention some of the ladies in the future." Peony took the opportunity to say. When she followed the Chen family, she had more time to be powerful and blessed, and she offended many people. Unexpectedly, as soon as she went to the utility room, she was squeezed out by others, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Now, if she wants to turn over, her only hope can only be to hug Chen's thigh.

Chen was ill, and He Jiaxian had to suspend his plan to go to Cong's house and come over to serve the sick according to her request.

First, I sent it to the small kitchen to boil medicine.

After boiling for an hour, the back hurt when I sat upright, and the peony came over and said, "Madame doesn't want to drink it, pour it first, and wait for it to boil again." ”

He Jiaxian was so angry that his face turned red, knowing that the Chen family intended to fix her, looking at the small kitchen where people came and went, filial piety was heavenly, but it was not easy to say anything.
