Mrs. Shi sat in front of the dressing table, received the gifts of the two aunts, and found that there was one missing, and her eyes became colder and colder.

Not long after, Xia Luo, the eldest girl of Ruixiang Courtyard, came in and said, "The people of Diexiang Courtyard, the third aunt slept late last night, and she was greedy for a cold, so she won't come to greet Mrs. today." He said that he would wait until he was better in the afternoon, and then he would come and confess to his wife. After speaking, Xia Luo posted it and whispered a few words to Mrs. Shi, probably saying: Shi Guogong rested there again last night!

Ning Yun stood behind Mrs. Shi, and felt that the anger in the eyes of this mother-in-law was "rubbing" out.

However, after all, Mrs. Shi is a human spirit who has been honed in the house for so many years, no matter how angry she is, she still smiles on the surface, and tells Xia Luo: "You go to the Butterfly Fragrance Courtyard and tell her that she knows, don't come to toss this in the afternoon, the rules are not on this." When you get better, it's the same when you come back. Let her take care of it first. After saying that, he also ordered Xia Luo to go to the treasury to get some ginseng health pills and give them to the people in Diexiang Courtyard.

Mrs. Shi has done such a good job on the surface, which also shows one point: this third aunt is still in good grace!

Ning Yun was expressionless and helped Mrs. Shi to sit on a Nanmu square chair in front of the table. The eldest maid ordered to "set the meal" outside, and the maid and daughter-in-law, who were waiting in front of her, opened the curtain in turn and came in, and put the large and small plates and bowls on the table.

Ning Yun couldn't sit on it. She wasn't sure if Bai Xiaochu had ever stood up to serve her mother-in-law for dinner before, so she stood aside and said less and watched more. She saw the eldest aunt An Zhen setting the bowl, and the second aunt holding the bowl and scooping the soup, so she took another pair of chopsticks from the maid's hand and gave Mrs. Shi a dish.

After the meal, the maids and daughters-in-law removed the dishes and chopsticks, and Mrs. Shi rinsed her mouth again, drank tea again, and the two aunts said a few words, and then went back to the courtyard. Ning Yun also took a seat. She was also going to leave, but there was one more thing that had not been done today, and she couldn't leave.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said polite words for a while, and Ning Yun cut to the point:

"The last time, my mother specially asked Fan's mother to send someone to her daughter-in-law. From top to bottom, the mother-in-law and maids are all available, and the daughter-in-law misses it very much. I'm not afraid of my mother's jokes, there were not enough people in this Moxiang courtyard originally, but now it can be regarded as a relief! ”

At first, Mrs. Shi was still wondering how this Bai's temperament could turn so fast, and now she listened to her bow so low and thank you so smoothly. I thought I understood: Bai was just a shallow-eyed daughter of a small household, and if she gave her a little benefit from between her fingers, she would be able to come over and thank her honestly immediately. Isn't that what you're looking for?

Mrs. Shi squinted her eyes and lowered her head to drink tea, hiding the look of contempt in her eyes, and said, "It's nothing." It's just a few subordinates. Originally, I shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of your yard, but I heard that the big girl in your yard dared to disobey the rules and make such a mistake. You are the new daughter-in-law, and when you first arrived at the Shi family, I was afraid that you would be thin-skinned and refuse to speak to me when you had difficulties. As a mother, I have to think a little more. ”

Mrs. Shi had a tone of "grace", and when she saw that "Bai Xiaochu" bowed her head and was silent, she became more and more like a mother-in-law, and said, "I also heard what Mother Fan said, those old people in your yard are too unruly." We historians don't raise people like that. Take this opportunity to change the person you have changed and rectify it! ”

Mrs. Shi thought that she was "one step ahead", but she didn't know that Ning Yun had been waiting for her for a long time!

"Mother said very much. After Fan's mother left that day, I gathered the people in the yard and punished them well. No, the original two second-class maids left without authorization, and they were punished by me for being demoted to the third class. Thanks to the mother who sent someone over, otherwise the daughter-in-law would really not be able to call it at this time! ”

Mrs. Shi listened to it and was very useful. Leaning on a royal blue bright satin embroidered backrest pillow on the large kang near the window, the corners of his mouth were hooked.

Ning Yun continued: "Those two girls are really unruly. But since the fight has been lowered, it is not so perverse and lazy. In this way, there were more people in my yard who were third-class maids, and there were eight more people. My daughter-in-law also inquired, in other courtyards in the house, there have always been only six third-class maids, although I am a bride, and I have my mother's partiality, but I dare not take it because of this. So when I came over today, my daughter-in-law sent Xia Tao and Xia Lan back. Mother, don't blame me for being hypocritical! As he spoke, he gave Yuchai a look and asked her to bring in the three maids who were waiting outside.

Although Mrs. Shi was unwilling, she didn't show her meaning. I thought in my heart that it was just two third-class maids who had returned, and I didn't care about it, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

However, when he saw that there was a first-class maid Xia Yan who walked in, he was a little unhappy.

Without waiting for her to have a seizure, Ning Yun took over with a smile: "Mother rewarded her daughter-in-law with the right person under her hand, this is a preference, and she shouldn't have shirked it." Just ......"

Ning Yun pretended to sigh regretfully: "Hey, the big girl Hongyun who made a mistake under my daughter-in-law was wronged after some investigation by me. Originally, I made a mistake in the case, and everyone in the yard watched it, and my daughter-in-law couldn't help but give Hongyun justice, so I paid her back the lack of a first-class maid. In this way, there is one more big girl next to me...... The daughter-in-law wanted to secretly leave Xia Yan behind, but after thinking about it for many days, she still couldn't be cheeky. So, I had to send people back again. After speaking, Ning Yun didn't forget to glance at Xia Yan a few times, and looked very reluctant to return the "baby".

Mrs. Shi was a little confused about the meaning of "Bai Xiaochu", but her intuition told her that with a culture like Bai Xiaochu, most of them wanted to pretend to excuse themselves, and then take people away with peace of mind, so she replied: "There are not so many rules." It's just a maid, you just stay by your side and call it. If you are new to the house and you are not familiar with the place, it is also good to have multiple people to call for it. ”

Who knows, as soon as she finished speaking, the "Bai Xiaochu" opposite sat up from his seat with a pout, and said with a panicked face: "The daughter-in-law will never dare." If the rules of the house are broken by me today, and the ladies and aunts in the other courtyards come to ask their mothers for this 'exception', then how can it be good, and when the time comes, the daughter-in-law will really die and be to blame! In the past, the daughter-in-law was ignorant and begged her mother, which made her mother angry. Now that I have lived for a few days, I know that the rules in the house are the strictest, and I can't compare to my mother's house. I realized that I was too much, and I was the first to embarrass my mother so unreasonably. Now every time I think of this, my daughter-in-law is unable to sleep. Now that I have brought people back, I feel a little better. ”

Mrs. Shi wrinkled her eyebrows and couldn't say a word for a long time. This is really speechless!

Which one did this Bai sing about? She couldn't see it.

If you don't deal with Hongyun, it makes sense that she is still in the dark. But the person who sent him out came back, what's going on?!

If the other party is someone else, then there is no need to doubt it, it must have seen through his own purpose, and he can't say it clearly, so he did such a face-to-face effort, so that he had to take the person back. But who is the other party? Bai Xiaochu! is just a from a small family who can't move to the stage, not only an uneducated person, but also a brainless person.

Therefore, Mrs. Shi was puzzled.

Ning Yun lowered her head, the corners of her mouth were obviously upturned, but her voice was a little "choked": "Please also ask your mother to accept the person and forgive her daughter-in-law's 'nonsense'." ”

Mrs. Shi strained her face, and she was extremely angry, no one dared to show her face like this. But I couldn't say a wrong word from her! It's really embarrassing. It's as if a slave who used to be submissive suddenly turned over and broke away from her control.

No, I have to let Mother Wu put some thought into it. If she repented of it, it wouldn't be easy.

Mrs. Shi squinted her eyes, remained silent, and her heart turned a thousand times, and she quickly denied Fang Cai's conjecture: she didn't have the courage to think about it. Although many people have returned, there are not a few who remain in her. I'm afraid I've thought too much about it, and it must be more secure to observe her for a few more days, and then take the opportunity to knock and knock.

"Since you said so, then these maids, stay. In the future, if you are short of manpower, just come and ask me. ”

Mrs. Shi had a lovely smile on her face, and Ning Yun also gave her a decent smile in return.

At first glance, they are really a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
