"Scholar Fang?" Aunt Ying was a little unconvinced, "Fang Yanji, a scholar of Wenhuadian University? ”

Su Ke felt that he should feel ashamed, an aunt who lived in the Hou Mansion still knew a thing or two about the government, but she, a palace maid who had been in the palace for nine years, didn't even know who Fang Yanji was. She swore that she would share her worries for Hou Ye, but she didn't have two taels of oil and water when she touched her stomach, no wonder Zhou Gongzi looked at her and treated her like that.

Behind a red ginseng may involve the front dynasty and the harem, and the Hou Mansion is in such a position, many things must be taken care of and thoughtful. The inner house pulls the front hall, just like the harem pulls the front court, but it is just drilled in the boudoir, and it is inevitable to see things shortly.

It seems that he is still not capable enough and knows very little.

The Hou Mansion is not an ordinary big family, with the noble concubines in the palace, many things are not as simple as they seem.

Su Ke took a deep breath, peeked at Aunt Ying's thoughtful face, and couldn't help blurting out asking: "Wenhua Hall is to tutor the prince, is there a connection between our mansion and the Fang mansion?" ”

Aunt Ying was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Keshi with a little hesitation and scrutiny in her eyes, and then changed her face at an astonishing speed, and raised her tone into a singing voice, "But there is a small steward in the warehouse, and the shelf is not small." The girl is a person on the high branches, and we are trying to climb high. ”

After saying these nonsensical words, Aunt Ying turned around and went back to the house, leaving Su Ke with a blank face, stunned and unable to come back to her senses.

Mother-in-law, who had been waiting under the corridor, stepped forward at this time, bent her knees slightly in front of Su Ke, and said in a low voice: "I have to go and talk back to the third wife, the girl let's go." ”

Su Ke's sullen breath was condensed in his chest, he couldn't go up or down, he couldn't explain clearly, it was really uncomfortable.

A fourth wife turned her face as if she was turning a page, but she didn't expect Aunt Ying next to her to be as good as ever. The whole four-room brain is not normal.

"Girl, that Aunt Ying is protecting you." Seeing Su Ke ruining the branches of flowers and trees within reach on the way back to the flower hall, Mrs. Yue couldn't stand it, and finally pointed out, "The people in this house who are close to the fourth room can't please the old lady." ”

Su Ke stomped his legs and stepped forward, waking up the dreamer with a word.

She turned around slowly, her face was both grateful and embarrassed, "Aunt Ying's shouting like this has cleared up my relationship with Sifang, no matter whether it is good or not from the old lady, at least it is beneficial and harmless to me." I didn't even see it through, thanks to my mother's guidance. I think I'm smart, but I'm still far from it. ”

Mother-in-law couldn't help but praise a little, and hung her head shyly.

Su Ke no longer looked at her, walked forward step by step, and asked softly: "Mother Yue, what do you think of the work that I can do in four days and only finish in five days?" ”

Mother-in-law's footsteps froze, but Su Ke didn't notice it, and hurriedly took two steps to catch up.

Su Ke said again: "Mother Yue, I just came to the Hou Mansion, although I relied on my uncle's face, but the Hou Mansion is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, I don't know how to offend people, I'm afraid I don't know it." If my mother thinks of something and sues me, it means that my mother cherishes me. ”

Mother-in-law swallowed for a long time, and weighed the words in her mouth several times before she was willing to speak, "I don't know if it's right to rush to the completion date early, but if Mrs. Liu is still there, she will find the third wife to ask for six, seven or eight days of construction."

"Why is that?" Su Ke couldn't turn his head for a while, "Increase the construction period, will the third wife be accurate?" ”

"It's just not allowed, at least the third wife knows that it's not easy to finish this five-day job."

The path they walked leaned against the perimeter of the garden, and as far as the eye could see, the walls were covered with brocade of red, and occasionally a few small blue-black fruits were mixed in, as if the red clothes had been eaten by insects.

Su Ke's heart was also eaten hard.

Mother-in-law's words made her reflect. Although she cleaned up the warehouse in four days, she was busy in vain and black, and the six mothers-in-law under her hands were all complaining, even she herself was exhausted. At that time, I just wanted to do it well, do it fast, and impress everyone.

I want to watch Xiàn so much. This is not right.

She is not the third wife's person, so she will not get more benefits and praise from the third wife, but will be jealous and rejected, and she will not take her hard work to heart. On the contrary, the third wife may also feel that tidying up the warehouse is a very easy task, and it is a job that only takes four days to complete. If there is a similar thing next time, what if the third wife only gives three days? If you can't finish it, you won't be slapped in the face.

"Mom's advice is right, but I didn't think about it well and didn't do it properly." Su Ke sighed rather depressedly, "I didn't even paint a picture for a few mothers in the third wife, and I worked hard in vain." ”

Mother-in-law hurriedly said: "The girl has tormented us. The girl is the Si Yan who came out of the palace, she is quick and quick, but the Hou Mansion is not good, so she must be cautious. "Mother-in-law is not good at talking, and there is not much ink in her stomach, so it is the limit to say this.

But it's true.

Su Ke nodded seriously.

Si Yan is an errand runner, so naturally the sooner the better. Zuixiang Pavilion is also open to business, pay attention to the guests on the seat, a cup of tea must pay for silver. This kind of rhythm naturally doesn't work when it comes to the Hou Mansion, what the Hou Mansion needs is stability.

It is said that there must be my teacher in the threesome, and she has benefited a lot from following her mother-in-law.

Su Ke took his mother-in-law back to the flower hall of the third wife's director, but the mother-in-law who was cleaning said that the third wife had already returned. Su Ke couldn't, and asked his mother-in-law to lead the way to the third wife's Yuexin Garden on Houfu East Road. As a result, the mother-in-law guarding the door said that the third lady did not come back, so she could only go to the old lady.

The fourth wife lives on the west road of the house, the third wife lives on the east road, and the flower hall of the incident is at the back of the courtyard of the third wife, near the edge of the garden on the east road. And the old lady was going to move out of the main house, but the Hou Ye refused to let her, and the Hou Ye has never married, so the old lady is still living in the middle road. After this big circle, Su Ke can be regarded as going around most of the Hou Mansion.

Seeing that she was about to arrive at the old lady's incense house, Su Ke was about to turn around and go to the verandah, when Mrs. Yue suddenly grabbed her arm, dragged her over, and added in shock, "Girl, wait." ”

Su Ke laughed, "Mother Yue, what's wrong?" ”

Mother-in-law looked flustered, her eyes swept behind Su Ke a few times, and when she saw that Su Ke was aware of it, she was about to look back, so she hurriedly grabbed her again, and she stalemate for a long time before she spoke: "The old slave wants to ask the girl for a favor." ”

Su Ke pursed the corners of his mouth helplessly, "What's wrong with me, my mother will say if I have something, if I can help, I will naturally help, I am afraid that I will speak lightly and make my mother happy in vain." ”

The corner of her mother-in-law's eyes still glanced behind Su Ke, licked her lips, and said, "The son of the old slave is sixteen years old this year, and he is wiping the wheels in the carriage and horse division in the outer courtyard. The girl is related to the housekeeper of Fuda, can you help find another errand for my son? It's not bad to rub the wheels, but it's not a daughter-in-law. ”

Mother-in-law is not the first person to come to Furui's relationship, but Su Ke is willing to help her, "I'll mention it to my uncle when I go back, and I can't give you permission if it doesn't work, after all, although I call my uncle, in fact, I have been separated by an unknown number of generations." But don't worry, Mom, I'll tell my uncle about it. ”

Mother-in-law's gaze withdrew from behind Su Ke, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "Then thank you girl first." ”

Su Ke smiled and didn't have any doubts.

There was such a distraction, and it was already two quarters past noon when I got to the old lady. Su Ke asked the old lady about the time of lunch, and the mother-in-law said that she was not clear. Just as he was hesitating, Su Ke saw the girl serving in front of the third wife standing at the door, so he quietly stepped forward to talk, "Girl, just now the third lady gave me an errand, I finished it, and now I can't go back to Ming, please help the girl help me talk to Miss Chongfang." ”

The girl glanced at Su Ke up and down, swept the small wooden sign of the steward hanging on Su Ke's waist, nodded and agreed, and asked, "Where are you the daughter-in-law of the steward?" ”

Su Ke was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face was a little stiff, and he said in his heart, I have seen you several times, why don't you have an impression of me? Still in charge of the daughter-in-law, do I look like I've been married? "Well, the girl just needs to say to Miss Chongfang, 'Su Ke is back from the fourth wife'."

The girl replied crisply, and Su Ke went back to the warehouse with a bitter face.

In the small courtyard of the treasury, Wang Guigui's family was talking boastfully with several other mothers-in-law, and they kept gesturing in their hands. Seeing Su Ke coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to offer his courtesy, "The girl is back, why is it so long on this trip, I just dried the tea, and the girl quickly moistened her throat." With that, he welcomed Su Ke to sit under the corridor.

Su Ke took a sip of tea and asked her, "What did you just say, dancing like this." ”

Wang Guijia smiled mysteriously, "I am very familiar with the old lady's sprinkler mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law just came to me and told me that the fourth lady brought such a big wooden box to the old lady. After that, there was a lot of laughter in the house, and the old lady kept the meal. This is the first time in the world. ”

Su Ke couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, the wooden box about two feet long was definitely not filled with red ginseng, it must be something that was as good as it. Maybe it's exactly what the old lady really needs. She walked on the front foot, and the fourth lady went to the old lady, and the third lady was also there with the old lady, so it can be seen that the whole scene was a game that had been planned a long time ago, and she could wait for the fourth lady to jump. It's just that I don't know what it has to do with Scholar Fang's wife.

Su Ke sighed, feeling more and more that he was not capable enough. After a day of confusion, by the beginning of the unitary period, the lights had been lit everywhere, and Su Ke went to return the key to the warehouse to the third wife.

The third wife's mood looked very good, I don't know if it was because of the fourth wife, in short, she was smiling, and handed over the reward money for sorting out the treasury to Su Ke. A total of a penny, let Su Ke distribute it at will.

Su Ke took it gratefully, and when he went back, he called the six mothers-in-law over, and took out a bunch of money to show them, "This is the reward given by the third wife." What I mean is that each mother will take 100 wen back to buy some wine to eat, give 200 to Dong's mother, and save the remaining 200 with me for the future when we get together during the New Year. Moms look good? ”

Su Ke is in charge, who would dare to fight with her. In the past, when Mrs. Liu was there, there were also cases where she had a reward to swallow alone, and Su Ke could also spread it out and give each of them a hundred, and they were already very content. For the remaining two hundred, Su Ke left it in his pocket or really saved it, so they didn't have the heart to think about it. So they all happily took the money and went to their respective homes.

Su Ke returned to the Fu family with four hundred dollars, and although he was tired, he had to go to the main house to say hello to the Fu family. But who would have thought that on the table of the Eight Immortals in the main house, the copper stove hot pot was gurgling and steaming, and Shao Linghang was sitting in the right position, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, looking at her with a smile. Fury was pouring him wine, and Fury's family was busy adding meat and vegetables to the pot.

And there is a set of clean dishes and chopsticks next to Shao Linghang......
