The second sister-in-law of Lian was originally sitting on a cold bench in the wing room of the second courtyard, and heard that the lord of Rongyi County was invited, so she hurriedly lifted her skirt, wiped her mouth and clasped her hands to break in, entered the hanging flower door, walked on the big peony flower road, and came to the door of Ronghua Hall. In the center, there is also a marble, sour branch wood, five plums, and a heart-saving screen partition, through the hollow, the shadow is enough, and the shadow is enough to see the young green goose yellow, light pink and light red early spring shadow in the rear.

The second sister-in-law Lian saw that her throat was dry and itchy, and she only felt that such a place was where the gods lived. The main room of Ronghua Hall was closed, and a maid came to greet her, saying that the county lord was waiting in the left wing. The second sister-in-law of Lian looked carefully and found that this girl was wearing a lotus lotus-colored dark treasure flower jacket, with a small magnolia pomegranate red silk skirt tied underneath, a hairpin, a pair of skeined shrimp whiskers and silver bracelets hanging on her wrist, and a pair of butterfly gold rings on her ears. Second sister-in-law Lian secretly sighed: Where is this maid, it is clearly a young lady.

Picking up the bamboo curtain with red felt edging of the flowers and plants of the four seasons, the second sister-in-law of Lian bumped into it head-on, and was dizzy by the dazzling Qiluo splendor, and the treasure light painting in her eyes shook her dizzy, and when she saw a figure, she hurriedly asked for peace: "The county lord is blessed." ”

"Ah, that's not worth it." Honey Jujiao shouted and hid to the side: "Second Grandma Lian, please get up quickly." Saying that, he came to help her: "Second grandmother, please take a seat." ”

The second sister-in-law of Lian found out that Shuheng was not there, but just a maid arranging tea saucers here. Shuheng is still small, how can she admit her mistake if she has seen it again? It's just that this magnificence has robbed me of my sight and sanity. She sat down next to the small round table of lacquered peony and rich mahogany, and felt that the gold-rimmed elastic ink python chair under her was soft and slippery, better than the fabric of the clothes on her body—now the days in the second room were getting worse and worse. She hated that she didn't have a daughter to run the family like Shuyue, and she was glad that the three of them were all boys, studying in the Yuan family, not only saving money but also having silver for pocket money, if the girl still had to raise a dowry for nothing. Thinking about it, the second sister-in-law felt that she was complaining about her bad life, if she was born in such a gold and silver nest, it was not what she wanted, what she wanted?

She was muttering in a mess, when she suddenly heard a maid outside the door laughing, "The county lord is here." Then the curtain was raised, and a girl as tender as a spring flower entered proudly with her head held high.

Shuheng walked in front of her, his eyes did not squint, nor did he say hello, nor did he greet him, he waved his sleeves, and sat upright on the small kang with a big red gold thread python pillow.

"Second Grandma Lian," Shuheng spoke, his voice immature but clear, like a mountain stream ball, "May I ask what you are doing in my house?" ”

She doesn't call her aunt, she just treats strangers politely.

The second sister-in-law of Lian read Shuheng, wearing a moon-white dark gold thread embroidered with folded branches and lotus palace satin narrow sleeves, and a pink butterfly wearing a flower cloud silk gauze skirt, I don't know what method was used, the skirt opened up like a bell arc sleekly, and as Shuheng sat down, it spread out around him, like petals falling. She wears a three-bird pattern flower with red gold inlaid with red gems on her head, a large cherry bright red and lustrous coral bead hanging from her ears, and a red gold pan and a ring on her neck. The little girl's eyebrows and eyes were bright, and her face was as white as jade, and she was more and more lined as if she was a pampered flower, precious and beautiful.

When Shuheng opened her mouth, she suddenly realized that not only was she beautiful and beautiful, but she was also domineering!

She was about to get close to Shuheng and touch her clothes and jewelry, but she was invited back by the two maids and forced to sit down in her place. "Second grandma sit down, please sit down."

"What is the second grandmother doing?" Shuheng spoke again, and there were three points of impatience in his tone.

She was already surprised by Shuheng's style, and she forgot that she planned to ask the county lord for peace at the beginning, and when she was asked, she hurriedly replied: "There is nothing to do, it's not that your brother Bai is going to take the exam. ”

Shu Heng looked down on her more and more in his heart, even if Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion to fight the autumn breeze, she was still ashamed to say not to say it, she actually opened her mouth so naturally - Shu Heng was really a little curious about what the old fourth room was used to by her grandfather who had never met before.

"Huh? My father Dingguo Gong said first, the cost of the Yuan clan study is borne by the Guogong Mansion and the rest of the surplus, the poor children in the clan can not only listen to the lecture for free, but also send paper and ink expenses, this field is also prepared on the public account, why do you still come to ask for it? Could it be that the elders of the clan are greedy for ink? This is a big deal, and it is good to verify the evidence. "Shuheng thought to himself: Do I look very foolish?

The second sister-in-law of Lian originally made up a reason casually, one was that she would not ask carefully in the past, and second, she didn't expect that a pampered little girl would know about this kind of thing, and she didn't have to enter the school. Hurriedly said: "Ah no, it's my sister-in-law who has a bad memory, I originally gave it, I forgot, this time I came for the dowry, and your brother Bai has reached the age of saying kiss." The bride price has not yet been settled. "Yuan's clan studies have been strictly managed by the public relations of the Dingguo, and if the crime of lying and slandering is implemented, the strict zhòng will be kicked out of the school - she still expects the clan studies to give her a chew grain.

"Ah, this is strange, even if you can't afford to prepare Brother Bai's bride price, you have four uncles and four grandmothers, and there are grandmothers who are not good, and there are grandfathers, why did Tete run into my house? Moreover, Brother Bai is fourteen years old, and it is still early to say that he is married, and after ten years, he will be able to save some of his wife's capital, so you are worrying too early. Shu Heng looked at her obliquely, and his voice was cold: "The second grandmother just made up a reason and wanted to take the silver back, is it to deceive me into being young and ignorant?" ”

Second sister-in-law Lian didn't expect her to be so perceptive and so direct-she was talking about her relatives and her wife, where did this seem like an eight-year-old girl said it? She was stunned for a moment and said: "This is the truth, if you don't believe it, sister-in-law, will I lie to you as a little girl?" Besides, Brother Bai is my own son, and I should be anxious about him. ”

"But our business has recently expanded, and it is at the critical point of using money, and there is no idle silver."

The second sister-in-law of Lian made an expression of "who are you coaxing", as if you don't give her money, it is yours, she crooked her eyebrows and slanted her mouth, and just said with a sloppy face: "I don't want more, as long as two or three hundred taels, you have enough seams in your house, and Mrs. is not the master of a few hundred taels of silver made by your little girl!" If you want to be poor, there will be no rich people in the world, and any one of your little dolls is worth a hundred taels, so you are so panicked! ”

Shuheng was "shocked" and said, "What? I said I don't have any money, and the second grandmother still has to come to strip me of clothes? ”

Second sister-in-law Lian was stunned, when did she say such a thing?

Shuheng covered her mouth and protected her chest, looking insulted - she was really unreasonable today!

The second sister-in-law Lian saw that the next step would be blasted out by Shuheng on the grounds of violating dignity, and when her eyes rolled, she slapped the table, rolled her balls and wept, and cried, shouting grievances while sobbing and sobbing: "There are still three poor relatives in the imperial court, and our house has been filial piety since the grandfather of the first country, where is there a reason not to help each other as brothers?" Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, why do you look down on us? Since I got here, I knelt and crawled to say goodbye, but you don't let you enter the second gate and don't let you go, isn't this poking people's hearts, seeing your second sister-in-law and cousin suffer from poverty and death? Oh, why is my life so miserable? ”

I had seen this crying and spilling kung fu at the beginning, and it was not surprising at all, Shu Heng sneered, stretched out his right hand at will, and took the spring tea handed over by the tangerine, the taste was mellow. Shuheng's little finger was slightly cocked, gently holding the small cup of colorful mud gold, lowering his eyes and sniffing, and the aftertaste was long. You cry, I'll drink a cup of tea first.

The door of the room was closed, the field was cleared, Shuheng silently drank tea and reviewed the text, starting from "Kindergarten Qionglin" and "Disciple Rules" to silently recite the "Hundred Poems" that he is reading now. When she recalled that "winter is warm, summer is clear, morning is awake, and dusk is fixed", she felt a little hungry. Tangerines are very easy to hold the snack box. Plum blossom purple cake, Yulu lotus seed cake, Wuhe jade with crisp, mandarin duck small noodle corner, Shuheng tasted in turn, showing a happy and enjoyable expression from time to time.

That's just a cry, and there are two troubles and three hangings. Shu Heng held the jade chopsticks with Phnom Penh Mofu characters, eating food slowly, and wondering how long she could cry. Wait, she won't faint crying and crying, whether it's pretending to be faint or faking fainting, it's not easy to do. Thinking of this, Shu Heng beckoned to her kindly: "Do you want to eat something before continuing?" ”

Lian's second sister-in-law:――

"You have the strength to eat enough, and your voice is no longer as loud as Fangcai." Shuheng looked at her very sincerely.

"That's how you Dingguo Mansion educates children, ah, I'm an adult as tall as a child to be insulted by you like this. I'm not alive anymore, and I can't see this old face anymore. Oh, you want my life, I'm not going to live. The second sister-in-law of Lian was stunned, and her crying face was closed, but she covered her face with a handkerchief, slapped the table and shouted, which was quite embarrassing.

She thought that children were easy to frighten, and that she had never seen such a scene, so she would quickly take the money to pass it away—which was also the usual style before. Even if Mrs. Yuan comes back, she won't say anything, do you still ask for it?

A faint smile tugged at the corner of Shu Heng's mouth, looking a little weird. She nodded slightly, and immediately walked out behind the screen several tall and sturdy mothers-in-law, led by Mother Kong, who was in charge of punishment and was feared by all the girls and daughters-in-law. She glanced at Shuheng again and asked for her opinion: Do you really want to tie up this sister-in-law?

Shuheng nodded decisively. My surname is Yuan, and this family is originally part of me.

The mothers-in-law immediately took action, surrounded the second sister-in-law of Lian, pressed her head on the head, pressed the leg on the leg, and pressed the leg to make her unable to move, and then took out a wide coarse cloth to wrap her, tight, dead, like a silkworm chrysalis. These mothers-in-law are experienced and have the right strength, and when the second sister-in-law was lifted up like a stunned stick, there were no scars on her face, and her hands and feet were intact. It's just that her hair is scattered and she becomes a crazy woman. Shuheng tilted his head to look at it, and motioned for Tangerine to freshen her up.

"This girl combs my hair for the county lord of the fourth grade on weekdays, and now she enjoys it for you, which is a great grace."

Second sister-in-law Lian was already stupid, she looked at this delicate flower-like girl who was only three feet tall, and suddenly felt terrified - this was Wei Wu's daughter, the daughter of Wei Wu who dared to raise her sword and kill people. And she is even more terrible than Wei Wu - because she is a child, ignorant and fearless, and the laws of Daxia are very lenient towards minors.

Seeing her hair in a bun back and her face wiped over, Shuheng slowly walked up to her—and then stepped on the stool, then on the table, and lowered his head to look down at her.

"You don't want to live anymore, do you?" Shu Heng smiled like a demon: "I can help with this favor." ”

She plucked a small hosta from her head and gently held it up in front of her eyes.

Second sister-in-law Lian's eyes widened, and she said in a hoarse voice, "What are you going to do?" Murder is paid for life. ”

Shuheng scratched his head with a hairpin very easily.

Second sister-in-law Lian:――

Shu Heng finished scratching and said in surprise: "Don't you know that there is a kind of person in this world who can legally kill people?" ”

Second sister-in-law Lian was stunned and exclaimed, "Executioner?!" Her original fear turned into amusement, thinking to herself, after all, she is a child, but she is just a strong servant to support her. I don't kill people, I don't set fires, I don't commit treason, who dares to kill me? ”

"You are the grave woman of the second uncle of the fourth room, how can you die casually? But you are indeed guilty," Shuheng looked at her and said seriously, "Theft." ”

Second Sister-in-law Lian's eyes widened instantly.

Shuheng said lightly: "Second grandmother may not know, according to my Daxia law, the theft of goods worth thirty horses will be sentenced to exile of 3,000 li and three years of hard labor." ”

"I took the Hetian jade ornament, it's not worth thirty horses, and you have a maid to see it. If you see me taking it, it doesn't count as stealing. ”

Sure enough, it's brazen. Shuheng only thought it was funny. She looked back, and a jade toad with red eyes and golden eyes full of red bumps on her back was also looking at her, and motioned to Mother Kong to loosen the cloth belt, Shuheng took it easily, and stuffed it through her collar very easily, "You stole this thing." ”

The second sister-in-law was dumbfounded, as if she was surprised by Shuheng's shamelessness.

Shuheng tilted his head innocently and motioned to Mother Kong to tie the cloth belt tightly again.
