Lunch was sent by Mu Si's grandmother, and dinner was eaten in her room. The new furniture is newly laid out, a new vegan, even the waiting girl has a mother-in-law, Su Huaiyu asked Mu Si's grandmother to borrow someone, it is too troublesome to buy people outside, borrow the Mu family's subordinates to call, and all the expenses during the call are from the Su family.

According to Su Jinqiu's original configuration arrangement, plus the kitchen manpower, as well as the cleaning and laundry work, there are more than forty people in the house. The male servant had Lao Zhang take him to live in the outer courtyard and arrange a carriage for the trip. After enjoying the life of eight years, it is back, the clothes come to reach out, the food comes to open the mouth, and of course the clothes are still being made.

After sleeping comfortably, Su Jinqiu went to greet Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu on time after breakfast. Yesterday, there was such a big movement in Biyunxuan, how did Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu not know, Mrs. Mu was unhappy in her heart, since you have money, then say it directly, you are dressed so poorly and sour, who will you show when you come over.

Old Lady Mu was even more angry, his nose was crooked, because he didn't like Old Lady Su, although he didn't mean to drive Su Jinqiu out, but he wanted to embarrass her. Unexpectedly, Su Jinqiu was so bold that he even threw away the furniture, so he had to tear down the house and rebuild it.

In comparison, Dafang's attitude is very clear and very cordial, at least Mrs. Mu and Grandma Mu are smiling when they look at her, and they will greet her cordially.

Su Jinqiu's expression was the same, seeing that she was down, looking down on her, seeing that she was rich, whether she was good to her, the attitude of others was really a trivial matter. just said: "Not long after my aunt and I left the capital, we vaguely saw the carriage of the Pan family, and it seems that I also saw Mother Li." It's just that we were in a hurry at that time, and our identity was inconvenient, so we didn't dare to go up to say hello. ”

Old Lady Mu and Old Lady Mu were stunned, and Old Lady Mu hurriedly asked, "The carriage of the Pan family, and Mother Li?" Could it be that Yu'er is here? Why don't you come forward and ask? ”

Su Jinqiu said with a smile: "My aunt and I are in a hurry, and we look like we are, but we don't look closely." In addition, in such a big winter, the snow has stopped, how can Miss Pan go out, thinking that it may be that I am dazzled. ”

Mrs. Li ridiculed the Su family, and Su Huaiyu beat Mrs. Li. It's not a decent thing, and I believe Pan won't mention it. Then say so, lest the maiden mother-in-law of the Pan family talk about it.

Old Lady Mu nodded when she heard this, and said, "Also, in such a big winter, how could the daughter of the boudoir go out." ”

When he said this, he deliberately glanced at Su Jinqiu.

"Yes, why did Miss Pan go out at this time." Su Jinqiu said with a smile.

Old Mrs. Mu was worried about her granddaughter, and said, "Let's send someone to take a look, in case it's true." ”

Mu is her only daughter, but she died at an early age, leaving only one daughter, although she has never seen it, every time she thinks of her deceased daughter, she is also very distressed by Pan Yu, a granddaughter who only knows the name of Lu Dao.

Old lady Mu said: "How could the son-in-law let Yu'er go out at this time, not to mention that there was a letter coming over earlier, and he would only pick it up after the year." You are overthinking, thinking too much, how can you come here at this time. ”

"It's also ......" Mrs. Mu saw that Mrs. Mu insisted, although she was worried, it was not easy to say any more, and the topic stopped.

Seeing this, Mu Liuniang immediately changed the topic, smiled at Mrs. Mu, and said, "When I came over in the morning, I went to see the seventh sister, and she said that she was much better, and she didn't need to ask a doctor, as long as she rested for two more days, she could come over to say hello to the old lady." ”

Su Jinqiu listened silently, but he was a little puzzled in his heart. According to the rules of the big family, the younger generation is not good, as long as it is not sick, they must come to the elders to say goodbye. Like Mu Qiniang, she is just a little lazy, and she is not sick, so she doesn't come to say goodbye, which is considered rudeness.

"Then let her rest." Mrs. Mu said, and told Mu Liuniang: "Your seventh sister is thin, you should take care of her more as a sister, and go to see her often." ”

Mu Liuniang bowed her head and said, "Yes." ”

Su Jinqiu was really speechless this time, Mrs. Mu's arrangement was not an ordinary wonder, of course it was okay to let her sister take care of her sister more, but Mu Qiniang's mother was sitting next to her, and her mother didn't tell her, she deliberately told her sisters, Mrs. Mu's face was so stiff that she almost turned her face.

Especially Mu Liuniang, who told her, is still Mrs. Mu's biological daughter, on one side is a sister-in-law, and on the other hand, she is her biological mother.

Old Lady Mu looked at everyone, then looked at Su Jinqiu, and said in a weird manner: "You are not the Mu family, you don't need to come over to say hello sooner or later." ”

Su Jinqiu was suddenly overjoyed, she didn't want to run this trip sooner or later, it was comfortable to lie in the quilt in such weather, and got up and said: "Yes, the weather is cold now, thank you for the old lady's mercy and love." ”

"Hmph~" Old Lady Mu snorted coldly, very disdainful.

Old Lady Mu looked at Su Jinqiu with a little reproach, and didn't ask the elders for what she looked like. Old lady Mu was angry about yesterday's incident, if Su Jinqiu made a good compensation, how could she be excluded from the list.

Su Jinqiu didn't see Mrs. Mu's hint and continued to sit with a smile. She really didn't want to come over to say goodbye, and she wasn't M, the warm quilt in the winter was not staying, and she couldn't afford to run over to suffer from this.

Old Lady Mu seemed to be even more angry, and said, "I'm tired too, so you can go separately." ”

Everyone stood up one after another, and bowed down in turn.

When she came out of the main room, Grandma Mu Si glanced at Su Jinqiu with envy.

She didn't want to come over early in the morning to say goodbye, but she couldn't escape, she didn't have to say goodbye, she was so happy.

Su Jinqiu took the girl back to Biyunxuan, and Su Huaiyu was taking the girl's mother-in-law to clean up the east wing. Although there were plenty of manpower yesterday, there was only one day, all the furniture in the house was replaced, and Su Jinqiu's five main rooms were cleaned up, and Su Huaiyu's own house had not been cleaned up. Su Huaiyu slept with Su Jinqiu last night, and today he has to clean up his house and live more comfortably separately.

"Lao Zhang is about to go out, does the girl need to bring it?" Su Huaiyu asked.

The girl's mother-in-law has already opened a list, all of which are trivial daily necessities, now it depends on Su Jinqiu, whether she has what she wants.

Su Jinqiu thought for a while and said, "Bring some books, buy some of them." ”

As the granddaughter of the champion, Su Jinqiu must have the opportunity to read and write. But the books I read are very restricted, at most I can read poems and the like, and I haven't even seen a book jacket for travelogues and biographies, let alone vernacular novels. It's rare that no one cares about it now, and she also wants to read some miscellaneous books, at least to understand the folk culture of Dachu.

"Well, buy some books and see how to pass the time." Su Huaiyu said, although it is very comfortable to live in Biyu Xuan, it is still not easy for Miss Boudoir to go out. She doesn't care, Su Jinqiu will marry in the future.

Su Huaiyu led people to clean up the things in the wings, and Su Jinqiu also took the girls to tidy up things. The things I bought yesterday were just sorted out for the ones I needed right away, and there were still a few big boxes to be placed, mainly for the house ornaments.

"The fourth grandmother's family is a big businessman, and her family is very wealthy, and she came with a dowry of 10,000 gold when she got married. The fourth master is also a capable person, in the past few years, he has followed his uncles to do business and opened several shops, and now the cost of eating flowers at home depends on the fourth master Zhang Luo. The mother-in-law was talking about the gossip of the Mu family.

At that time, the Mu family was poor and couldn't eat, but thanks to the fourth grandmother who came to the door, the family could get better, otherwise they would not have starved to death, and they would not have the rich life they have now.

Su Jinqiu knew in her heart, when she entered the door, she felt that the Jiangcheng Hou Mansion was much richer than she imagined, and she would definitely not be able to live like this by relying only on Yongye Tian and Sacrificial Field, the original truth was here. After a pause, he asked: "I went to my second uncle's house that day, and the family was also very relaxed......

"That's the third grandmother has the ability." The mother-in-law said with a respectful face, but lowered her voice a little, and said: "The girl doesn't know what to say, the second room was so poor that she couldn't even eat. Thanks to the third master's ability, he married the third grandmother, who was born in Qiaojiabao, which is a big businessman who is rich and rivals the country. ”

There are many poor officials who "sell" their daughters, and the second room is to sell their sons directly and find a rich daughter-in-law. At the beginning, the big room also mocked the second room, and a few years later, the second room turned over. Dafang was dumbfounded, especially at that time, Dafang was almost unable to eat, and he didn't care about Mu Si's grandmother from a merchant, so he hurriedly married the God of Wealth and went home, and it was most important to be able to eat enough.

"I see." Su Jinqiu completely understood.

Although Mu Sanye failed to choose a horse because of hair problems, he caused trouble for his family. But to stand out in the audition, Emperor Yongchang at that time was interested in the election, and his personal conditions must be very good. It is very possible to marry a rich and capable wife by relying on men, which is also in line with the original intention of the second room, to find a good "husband's family" for his son, and all affairs depend on the "husband's family" Zhang Luo.

Listening to the tone of the mother-in-law's speech, the fourth master has the ability to do it here, and at the beginning he relied on his wife to support him, but now he is all relying on his own ability to earn food. In the second room, the third grandmother has the ability, and the third master Mu married a capable daughter-in-law by virtue of beauty, and the whole family pointed to the third grandmother.

After a morning, Su Jinqiu had a new understanding of the Mu family, and the grievances and grievances of each room were clearly understood. The two have separated and have a lot of contacts, relatively speaking, there are a lot of things. The latest gossip is just Uncle Mu's concubine, and Grandma Mu is not allowed to do so.

At noon, although the cook's skills are so-so, they can barely be eaten. Everyone else can borrow from the Mu family, but the cook, Su Jinqiu plans to hire it with a high salary, the life in the house is so boring, it is not easy to have some fun, so you can eat better and satisfy your appetite.

Halfway through the meal, a mother-in-law hurriedly came over to say: "Miss Pan is here, old lady, old lady please come over to talk." ”

Su Jinqiu just nodded and continued to eat. Counting that the time should have come yesterday, Old Lady Mu and Old Lady Mu must hug their heads and cry when they first see their granddaughter. Instead of going over and watching them cry, it's better to finish the meal,

Seeing that Su Jinqiu didn't move, the mother-in-law wanted to urge her, but Old Lady Mu sent someone to call her, and she must go immediately. Thinking of Su Huaiyu's big move, he didn't dare to say much, just stood next to him.

After eating without hurry, washing hands and changing clothes, Su Jinqiu took the girl over. I thought that after such a long time, no matter how many tears I had, I should finish crying, but I didn't expect that I was still crying bitterly. Mrs. Mu's cry and Pan Yu's cry were mixed together, and the listener was sad and saw tears.

When I entered through the back door, I saw that there was Chinese food in the flower hall next to me, and I only moved a few chopsticks and put it there. It should be that Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu learned that Pan Yu was coming, and they couldn't take care of eating, so they hurried to see their granddaughter.

Entering the main hall, not only the big room was crowded, but the second room Mu Er and Mrs. Mu also came, the men stood next to them, and the women all cried, and no one noticed her coming, so they simply stood in the corner. Anyway, it's right to pretend to be transparent on this occasion, and I believe Pan Yu doesn't want to talk about sisterhood with her.

Learning from the ladies to wipe their tears with handkerchiefs, Su Jinqiu couldn't help but look Pan Yu up and down.

Although she was rushing all the way, Pan Yu did not have the slightest embarrassment on her body at this time. Purple skirt and white skirt, white satin trim, young hair bun is simple, two or three gold-inlaid jade hairpins, it looks very simple, but if you look closely, you feel that the workmanship is cumbersome, and it seems to be a thing in the palace.

Sure enough, he is thoughtful, simple but exquisite, which not only shows the pity of a motherless girl, but also reveals in various details that my sister is very rich and my sister is very promising. It is estimated that the meeting will only arrive now, and it took half a day to tidy up and make sure to achieve the ultimate effect of the first appearance.

Su Jinqiu couldn't help but recall the scene when he entered the door the day before yesterday, and he was sympathized with all the way, all kinds of coldness. Everyone has the heart of strength, although it is in the grandfather's family, it is understandable that Pan Yu wants to hold up the pomp.

Especially Pan Yu, a little girl, has no money in her hands. The poorer you are, the more you have to support the field.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, follow your grandfather in the future, and you won't be bullied again." Mrs. Mu hugged Pan Yu and cried bitterly, she was really distressed, she had to be a black-hearted stepmother, who could drive the child out in the winter.

Pan Yu's eyes were swollen from crying, and her liver and intestines were broken when she was crying in Mrs. Mu's arms, which was a sincere cry. Although she didn't expect her grandfather's family to be so wealthy, it is good to have money, and she has money and a title, and she doesn't have to worry about the future. Along the way, she was also nervous, and at this time she was finally able to relax a little.

"Clean up the east wing room and let Yu'er live, right in front of me." Mrs. Mu said that her daughter ended up like that, but her granddaughter, she would definitely take good care of it.

Grandma Mu Si stepped forward and said, "Yes, please rest assured that the old lady." ”

Pan Yu got up and saluted Grandma Mu Si and said, "I'm tired of the fourth sister-in-law." ”

"Sister is polite." Grandma Mu Si said with a smile.

After crying this round, Mrs. Mu was about to arrange for Pan Yu to eat, when she saw Pan Yu looking worried, and said uneasily: "On the way here, my grandson did a foolish thing...... Halfway through, the waiter in the East Palace came to the door and said that I had helped the seventh master on the way and gave me many thank-you gifts. I didn't know what to do, I was very scared, so I accepted it in a daze. The more I thought about it on the road, the more uneasy I became, and I wanted to send these things back to the capital so that my father could return them......"

Everyone in the room was stunned, especially Old Lady Mu and Master Mu, their faces turned white. Even if it is a high-ranking minister, it is easy to say that he is offended. If you make the prince unhappy, you will lose your life if you don't get it right.

"I want to return it, how can I collect ......it," Old Lady Mu said repeatedly, and immediately called the steward to send something.

Pan Yu cried even more fiercely, her shoulders trembled badly, and she said in a somewhat dazed voice: "It's all because I'm ignorant, I want to write to my father to make it clear, something really happened, and I ......will bear it."

"How can I blame you, there is not even an adult who follows, and if the Pan family sends someone over, it will not be like this." Mrs. Mu complained that Pan Yu was not yet eight years old, and it was normal that things were not handled well, but the fault was in the Pan family, letting a little girl go on the road alone.

"I'm going to write to my father......," Pan Yu cried.

Su Jinqiu watched from the side, and silently gave Pan Ji a thumbs up, counting birds with one stone, a good means.
