"Ah...... Cut. Xu Wang's family sneezed lightly at this time.

Su Ke turned to look at her, Xu Wangjia's face was slightly red, and he hung his head in shame.

Su Ke pouted, "Then thank you for the kindness of the Hou Ye." "It's very unwilling.

The mothers-in-law who came to deliver the things were all grateful, and there was nothing better than going back to make a safe deal. After laughing a few times, he hurriedly left the place of right and wrong, for fear that Su Ke would regret it again.

Su Ke walked up to the charcoal basin and stretched out his hands, warmth spreading from his palms to his arms.

Xu Wangjia stood behind Su Ke, couldn't find the right wording, and hesitated for a long time, but he didn't say anything in the end. Su Ke looked back at her, glanced at the other three mothers-in-law, and suddenly grinned, "Don't waste such a good charcoal, tomorrow I will bring a few sweet potatoes, slice them on the iron net, and roast them to eat, not to mention how fragrant they are." ”

Xu Wangjia was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly answered: "Then I'll bring some potatoes." ”

"I bring eggplant."

"Then I'll bring two knives of tofu."

A few mothers-in-law, you say a word to me, and the tense atmosphere gradually disappears. Su Ke stood too close to the charcoal basin, and his chest felt flustered. She whispered, "Be careful, don't let the old lady know." ”

Some heard and some did not. Those who heard nodded hurriedly, and those who didn't hear seemed to understand.

After that, several people began to work, and came back with a large copper basin, boiling water, and cleaning. Far away from the front yard and back house, the cleanliness of this back garden made Su Ke experience a short period of peace.

That night, Shao Linghang still didn't come.

Early the next morning, Su Ke went to the top with the cyan under his eyes. It's just that in front of the door of the old warehouse, except for a few mothers-in-law who each carried baskets of oil bags, the mother-in-law who led yesterday was also there.

There is a big food box at the mother-in-law's feet, which is ordinary, half-new and not old. There is also a basket of silver frost charcoal.

"Master Hou asked you to use your lunch here, and go back and forth to the big kitchen to delay time. Clean up the warehouse as soon as possible and don't delay the construction period. The mother-in-law handed the food box to Xu Wang's house, and the latter glanced at Su Ke's expression, not knowing whether to take it or not.

Su Ke's face darkened a little. Duration? Where did the deadline come from?

Yesterday's stalemate was staged again, and the woman couldn't lift the food box anymore, looking at Su Ke with her eyes.

Su Ke gritted his teeth, nodded and let Xu Wang's family take the food box, and then didn't say anything, just asked the mother-in-law to continue to work. Yesterday, I didn't clean up a tenth of it, and the warehouse that had been old for many years was like a bottomless pit, not only the mother-in-law couldn't wipe it down, but Su Ke was even in trouble to make a book.

At noon, a few mothers-in-law put the things they brought next to the brazier, and then went to open the big food box.

On the first floor, there are two plates of steamed buns, on the second floor, on two plates of pickled chicken wings, and on the third floor, there are two jars of ginger tea wrapped in cotton sleeves.

Su Ke's lips pursed tightly.

On the third day, the big food box contained pancakes with meat and mutton soup. On the fourth day, there were two plates of raw meat, one rabbit and one venison. The fifth day was stir-fried vegetables, steamed fish and five-grain rice.

Others didn't know it, but Su Ke knew that it was an anchovy.

When he was on duty, Su Ke took a detour to the big kitchen and secretly asked Ding's second daughter-in-law a few words.

Fresh anchovies were sent from Nanjing, and the good ones cost twenty taels. It's not big, it's not particularly fresh, and it's at least five or six taels. Yesterday, ten were just delivered from the south, and now they are steaming on the fire, and the Hou Ye is going to eat at the old lady's place in the evening.

Su Ke took a few deep breaths, stiffened a face that was difficult to maintain, and said goodbye to Ding's second daughter-in-law.

For five days, she slept in her clothes every night, and woke up at the slightest sound, but he never showed up again. There is no explanation, but the food is delivered every day. Twenty-one taels of anchovies, the old lady has not yet served them, they have already eaten them at noon.

After returning to the Fu family, Su Ke went straight to the Fu Rui family, "Mother Fu, please go and tell him, I want to see him." ”

This is the first time that Su Ke has offered to see him, and the Furui family doesn't know why Su Ke relented, but this is definitely a good sign. One does not come, the other dies, and someone must take the first step under the stalemate.

The Furui family was in a good mood, and the next day they went to the front yard when Shao Linghang was on duty.

However, when Su Ke came back from duty, the Furui family said four words to her with a frustrated face: "Master Hou is not coming." ”

Not coming?

Su Ke glared, gritted his teeth and couldn't help thinking, what do you mean, do you want her to invite it in person?

The front yard of the Hou Mansion is not something that anyone can go to if they want to, the so-called gate does not go out of the two doors, except for the people who serve in the front yard full-time, the women in the back house have to stop at the hanging flower door.

Furui's family can go, relying on Furui's face, and he is familiar with Mother Sun. The reason why the old lady no longer reuses the Furui family after Shao Linghang returns home is also because she can see that the Furui family has become Shao Linghang's person with the east wind. If you can't use it for your own use, you must guard against being heard. Therefore, although the name of the Furui family is under the hands of the old lady, everyone in the house knows that she is the person called by the Hou Ye.

But even so, many times they have to avoid suspicion, if it weren't for Su Ke's business, the Furui family rarely went to the front yard.

So, what excuse did Su Ke have to find, with whose face did Baba run to the Hou Ye to "offer courtesy"?

According to the rules of the house, those who go to the front yard without permission will be thrown out of the board.

She was fed and fed, and ran to the front yard.

After two more days of holding back the fire like this, Su Ke's small days came unexpectedly. Five or six days in advance.

When I returned to Fu's house in the evening, the Furui family saw that Su Ke had been wrinkling her face when she was eating, and her hands were still covering her lower abdomen, so they asked her if it was the day. Su Ke endured the pain and nodded, and was poured ginger brown sugar water for two nights at night, but it was still not much better.

"It's a cold." The Furui family brought Su Ke a soup woman, "Didn't Master Hou send you a charcoal basin?" ”

Su Ke put the soup woman on his little belly, and said with a sad face: "The house is so big, and it is full of things, put a charcoal pot in the house, it is inconvenient to work, so we moved to the yard." Roast the fire only when you are resting. ”

Furui's frown, "Isn't this a waste of charcoal, who is the charcoal pot in the yard for?" ”

Su Ke muttered in a low voice: "Give him something, send someone to send a charcoal every other day, and I won't leave until I see us light a brazier." Then the tide of the house lit the charcoal basin, smoked people will be happy. ”

Furui's family tucked the quilt for Su Ke, "You two, be tough, it's worth sulking if it's a big deal." I think Master Hou has figured out your temper, hangs you, and lets you come over after you are angry, otherwise when he comes, the two of you will have to quarrel again. ”

Why not be noisy? Suco's ears buzzed.

"The things he sent are getting more and more excessive, and it is impossible for the old lady not to know about it, but it is just to hinder everyone's face, and turn a blind eye. But don't go too far. Su Ke dragged Furui's family and whispered, "The old lady hasn't served it yet, we have already eaten steamed anchovies in the warehouse." At noon today, the Buddha jumped over the wall. ”

The Fury family flickered.

Su Ke said again: "I told those mothers-in-law every day, and they all promised to be good and not to talk nonsense outside." But paper can't hold the fire, and when the matter is revealed, everyone has no face. ”

The Furui family responded a few times, and suddenly raised his eyes, thinking that something was wrong, "Speaking of which, there is nothing in this mansion that can hide from the old lady." But the girl shouldn't underestimate Master Hou too much, don't talk about it from afar, the girl's identity has not been concealed until now. There are some things that the Hou Ye has his own considerations, he wants to send them, you will accept them, there is no reason to shirk the things that the master rewards, you eat generously, and do the work in your hands well. As for the old lady, since she plans to turn a blind eye, as long as you don't deliberately show off, the old lady won't do anything to you. ”

It's all true, but did he consider her position in doing so?

After being silent for a while, Su Ke's eyes became cold, "He is so piercing, the old lady doesn't know what to think." ”

The Fury family opened their mouths, but in the end they didn't say anything.

In fact, all those who know are in the know, and the old lady doesn't have to have a girl by the side of the marquis. What the old lady wanted, all the old lady wanted, was that the Hou Ye was no longer distracted and worried about Qin Huai's Oiran.

And Su Ke happened to be the uninformed party.

She had countless messes and infinite resentments in her heart. But I just couldn't see anyone, and I didn't even explain. Is it just that the days are just like this, day by day?

Su Ke gritted his teeth and felt that his lower abdomen hurt even more. She suppressed her temper and decided to wait for a few days before theorizing. Now I can't do it anymore.

It's easy to endure these few days, as soon as the small day is gone, Su Ke is busy until the time comes, and when he comes back from duty, he immediately runs to Furui's family and says: "Mother Fu, you are tired to help me bring a word, I want to see him." ”

Furui's family's embarrassment: "I went back, but Master Hou didn't even look at me." ”

"Then you go over and tell him that I have raised the money, and ask him to come and count it in person." Su Ke said seriously.

The Furui family didn't take it seriously, "Who believes this, where did you raise such a large sum of money?" Don't tell me that it was given by Imperial Doctor Liang, it's really messy. ”

Su Ke said coldly: "I borrowed money from the fourth wife today." ”

As if saying this, the Furui family jumped to their feet, "My ancestor, you are really stubborn, why can't you tell you how to persuade and don't listen." Do you have to make a big deal out of it? ”

Su Ke pursed her lips and didn't speak, anyway, this time she was determined to talk to Shao Linghang.

"Okay, then you wait, I'll give you a run." The Furui family didn't dare to delay, Su Ke was a bold and right-minded person, don't make anything happen because of this moment.

She went to the kitchen to load two dishes casually, and carried the food box to the Hou Mansion.

Shao Linghang was still at the old lady's place, she sat down in front of Mother Sun with the food box, and her teeth trembled with anger, "These two are wrongdoers." ”
