From reception to end, it can be said that the big house takes care of the people in the second room with thoughtfulness and care, so when Tang Qinger dragged her tired body back to the house, she went straight to the bed, and she couldn't wait to lie in bed from now on.

Xue Qianxun was a little distressed when he saw her working so hard, and gently walked to the side of the bed and said, "You go wash up first, and go to sleep!" ”

"Don't wash it, don't wash it! Tired! Tang Qing'er buried her face in the quilt and didn't want to get up to wash.

Xue Qianxun picked her up and entered the inner room, Tang Qing'er was in a daze, her hand couldn't help but put her arms around his neck, and said slowly: "What are you doing here?" ”

"My husband hasn't taken a mandarin duck bath with my wife, and tonight the night is dark and windy, so it's suitable for washing together."

Tang Qing'er's face turned red, and she whispered: "Hooligans! "But what's the way, what the two of them should not do, the first bed is almost done, especially this guy with the spring palace map to take her to look at it, and study the moves and methods together, alas! It's a shame to say it.

"You've said I've been a hooligan several times."

"Don't you want to be a hooligan now?"

“……”

Although it was not Xue Qianxun's original intention, but it was still a night of pear blossoms pressing begonias, seeing this, some people couldn't help asking, what was Xue Qianxun's original intention?

On the morning of the erection day, Jiang opened his eyes before dawn, and then asked the maid to wait for her to get up, and as soon as Jiang woke up, Caizhu stood aside and waited, and when his wife spoke, he quickly opened the bed tent.

After tidying up the bed, she turned around and went out, and Wang Ma accepted the work in her hands, and waited for Mrs. to freshen up, and after that, Wang Ma brought the tea that had been made to Jiang's hand: "Madam, are you going to the old lady now...... Would you like to dine peacefully? ”

Jiang didn't say anything, just took the tea, took a sip lightly, looked up at the sky outside, and asked casually, "What time is it?" ”

Wang Ma slowly spoke: "When the time comes," she said and glanced at her wife, seeing that she was preoccupied, she couldn't help but ask again: "Mrs." ”

Jiang Shi paused with the tea bowl in his hand, and then said, "I don't know how the master is now?" "The lord is now walking on thin ice in the capital, which will make her arrange the backyard people back to the town, but he did not leave intimate people to serve, Jiang is still a little worried about the daily life of the lord, now you return to the old mansion, take the family to stay in the house, in the future, she will have to meddle in the affairs of the inner house in the house, after all, she is not like before, she used to pass by in a hurry, and now she lives permanently, from now on she is half the master of this house, and has the right to control the inner house.

Wang Ma said: "There is a young lady in Beijing who is serving the master and the master, you don't have to worry. ”

Jiang put down the tea bowl and hummed, "Young lady! I don't know her mind yet, hmph, if Xun's daughter-in-law is as clever as that, I'll be content! Let's go, let's not mention her, let's go to the old lady! It's not good if it's late. ”

Wang Ma respectfully said yes twice, and just about to withdraw, she said, "Those young masters? ”

Jiang Shi looked at her and didn't speak, Wang Ma hurriedly closed her mouth and went out, and the maids waiting outside, seeing this look on Wang Ma's face, were even more careful not to make any mistakes.

Jiang walked slowly in front, Wang Ma followed behind, the old lady was not allowed to enter, so she could only wait outside, Jiang eased his face, opened the curtain with a smile and went in, and asked Tao in a low voice: "Is the old lady awake?" ”

"Back to the second wife, the old lady woke up and was talking to the eldest lady inside?"

Jiang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I thought I got up early, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to come earlier than me, hehe......"

Ah Taofu turned around and did not answer her words.

Jiang Shi glanced at her meaninglessly, went in directly, saw that the sister-in-law was combing her mother-in-law's hair, and said with a smile: "Mother, sister-in-law." ”

Old Mrs. Xue waved her hand and said, "The second daughter-in-law is here." ”

"Brother and sister are here." Shen continued to fix her mother-in-law's hair, and only turned her head to greet Jiang.

Jiang stepped forward and said next to Shen: "Sister-in-law, I haven't been filial to my mother for several years, and I finally got up early in the morning, and I pounced,"

Before Shen could answer, Old Lady Xue said angrily: "You are all people with children, daughters and grandchildren, how can you still speak like this." ”

"In front of my mother, even if I am surrounded by my grandson, I am not the little second daughter-in-law who waited for you by your side back then."

"Yes, that's true." Old Madam Xue said with a smile.

Shen quipped: "As soon as my younger brother and sister come back, my mother has a lot of smiles on her face, and I am afraid that there will be new people in the future and no old ones." ”

"Sister-in-law, how can you say that, they all say that clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old, so you can rest assured! Mother won't snub you because I'm back," Jiang Shi said with a smile as he picked up the silk handkerchief and covered his mouth.

"You...... Still dare to say anything. Shen looked at Jiang helplessly, shook his head and smiled.

While speaking, Shen had already combed her mother-in-law's hair, Jiang stepped forward to serve her mother-in-law and dress, and the two daughters-in-law were filial piety by Mrs. Xue's side in the morning.

Mrs. Xue held a daughter-in-law with one hand and said, "My old woman is hungry, let's go to the hall to eat!" ”

"Yes, mother,"

"Yes, mother,"

The three of them went to the main hall together, at this time, the juniors of the Xue family were already waiting for them to come out in the main hall, Tang Qing'er stood next to Xue Qianxun with a little blue eyes, secretly hating this person in her heart, and let him toss for a night last night, so she still felt a little shaky when she stood now.

Xue Qianxun knew that Qing'er's back hurt, so he took her hand and asked her to put gravity on herself, Qing'er was held by Xue Qianxun's hand, and she was resentful, and she couldn't help but take advantage of people's inattention and pinch his flesh with her hands.

When Mrs. Xue sat on the top and said, "Everyone sit!" Dinner! At the sound of the order, the maids came in one after another with plates.

After the meal, Mrs. Xue asked the maid to wash her hands, looked at her grandson and said, "Heng'er, are you going to take the Xiucai exam next year?" Xue Heng is Jiang's child, and he has been pampered by her, and he was questioned by his grandmother at this time, and said nervously: "Yes, grandma,"

"Now that you have returned to the town, you can't abandon your studies because you have changed places, you still have to find a master, teach you to study every day, Xun'er, grandma will leave this matter of finding a master to you, you help grandma find a master for your cousin!"

"Yes." Xue Qianxun responded lightly.

She was a little surprised by what Jiang Shi thought, so she sneered: "With Xun'er helping, the second aunt doesn't know how much worry to save?" ”

Tang Qing'er looked at the other cousins and cousins on the table, Mrs. Xue obviously took a fancy to her son-in-law and grandson, and she didn't pay much attention to the baby born in the concubine's room, fortunately, her father-in-law only had one son, Xue Qianxun, if there were other concubines, maybe they would be left to fend for themselves?

The second master Xue married a total of one wife and five concubines, of course the wife is the Jiang family, and gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and the five concubines are the Qi family, the Zhao family, the Hu family, the Chen family and the Zheng family, the Qi family has a son and a daughter, the Zhao family has a son, the Hu family has two daughters, the Chen family and the Zheng family have never had children, so the second master Xue has a total of four sons and five daughters, and the Xue master is prosperous.

There were two other grandsons on the table, but Mrs. Xue didn't ask, she skipped them directly, which showed how much she ignored them, Tang Qing'er said to Xue Qianxun afterwards: "Grandma is a little too partial." ”

"You don't understand the rights and wrongs in the compound, if grandma cares about them too much, it will be even worse for them, and the concubine is too talented and poses a great threat to the son-in-law, especially a family like the second uncle who is an official, it is very taboo."

"Oh, I thought grandma was really ......"

"Don't say this kind of thing again in the future, if people hear that it's not good for you, you know why my grandmother asked me to find a master, this is to let me find a good master to teach at home, so that other cousins can study with Heng'er, so that the second aunt's mind can be extinguished."

Tang Qing'er gave a thumbs up and said, "Grandma is really wise!" "This old lady's trick is so wonderful, she counts everyone unconsciously, and Jiang really gets older and hotter.

"Hmph,"

Tang Qing'er shook his arm like a dog and said, "What I don't understand in the future, you have to mention me a little on the side, and I have to count the money for someone who has been sold?" ”

Xue Qianxun said lightly: "Are you worth it?" ”

"......" Tang Qing'er, who was choked, suddenly couldn't say a word.

Xu is breakfast at the mother-in-law's did not go well, at noon Jiang had lunch in his own house, ate a lot of things, for the matter of finding the master, since the mother-in-law personally decided, she can not refute anything, if it is in the capital, how can she invite the master to come to the house to raise them? Growing into crooked melons and cracked dates, not doing business is exactly what she thinks in her heart.

Jiang Shi felt a little pain in his head, and pinched his forehead with his hand, and the mother next to him hurriedly stepped forward to pinch her forehead: "Mrs. wants to get up earlier today?" ”

"No, I'm thinking about what the old lady said in the morning." Wang's mother's gesture was neither light nor heavy, Jiang Shi felt a little more comfortable, and the maid Caizhu came in quietly and said, "Madam, the eldest lady and the fifth lady are here." He took a step to the side.

Jiang Shi cheered up and said, "Let them in!" ”

"Yes," he left quietly.

Subsequently, Xue Ling and Xue Xin entered the house, and seeing their mother's pale face, Xue Ling walked over and sat beside Jiang Shi and said, "Mother, do you have anything to worry about?" ”

Jiang Shi touched her head and said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired from traveling in the past two days." ”

"Mother, you have to take care of your body,"

"Mother knows," Jiang agreed with a smile, turned his head to look at Xue Xin, and said with a bad face: "Xin'er, I heard people say yesterday that you went to your cousin-in-law for trouble." ”

Xue Xin's heart suddenly suddenly, lowered her head and whispered: "No,"

Jiang slammed the table and said, "You have learned to lie." ”

This startled a few people in the house, and Xue Xin was even more frightened, but she still said stiffly: "Mother, I just can't figure it out, how can a person as talented as my cousin fall in love with a peasant girl,"

"What do you know?" Jiang hates that iron does not make steel, if there is an axe, he really wants to knock on her head to see what is inside.

"Mother!" Xue Ling saw that her mother was really angry, and hurriedly begged for mercy for her little sister: "Mother, Xin'er did something wrong yesterday, but I have apologized to my sister-in-law for Xin'er,"

"What do you know in the inner house since you were a child? Your cousin-in-law is not simple, don't look at her as a peasant girl, even if you are all sandwiched together, it is not as good as her mind alone,"

Xue Xin didn't believe it, and retorted: "Mother's ......" But before she could speak, she was interrupted by the Jiang family: "Your cousin-in-law can earn money at a young age, help the family improve their lives, brew wine, build a house and buy land, and then grow mushrooms to earn a lot of money, and now the whole family relies on her and has moved to the town to live,"

"Hmph, what's so great about this, no matter how much money she makes, she is also a peasant girl who can't read a single word." Xue Xin pouted.

"You think wrong again, she has three younger brothers, two of whom have been admitted to Xiucai, and one is waiting to be fed, there are people studying at home, do you think she can not know words? And I asked someone, she can remember it since she was a child, and she can write down the books that her brothers have read. ”

"This ......" Xue Xin wanted to refute her mother's words, but she couldn't think of any excuse.

Jiang Shi said at this time: "In the future, when you meet your cousin-in-law, your attitude should be respectful, even your grandmother loves her, what do you say she means?" This is not our house, now we are under the fence, if you want to stay in this house smoothly, remember not to provoke her, if she is not happy, your cousin will talk to you? You understand now,"

It's Xue Ling who is old and knows the truth, but when she heard her mother say this, she still couldn't help nodding, not to mention Xue Xin, who had already been scared by her mother and trembled.

After the Xue Ling sisters accompanied the Jiang family to talk for a while, they saw that their mother was a little listless, so they said, "Mother, you can rest for a while!" My sister and I went back to the house first. ”

"Yes, go ahead!"

After the two daughters left, Jiang yawned, and Wang's mother hurriedly said, "Mrs. wants to lie down?" Jiang nodded, Wang Ma waited for her to lie down, watched Jiang close her eyes, Wang Ma called Caizhu over again, asked her to beat his wife's legs, and went outside to rest while she was free.

As soon as Wang Ma walked out of the room, she saw Ah Tao coming over next to the old lady, and Wang Ma hurriedly greeted Ah Tao: "Hello Mama Tao,"

Ah Tao nodded and said, "The second wife is asleep?" Seeing Wang Ma guarding outside, he guessed.

"It's really unfortunate, Mrs. just lay down, Mama Tao is here? I'm going to wake up my wife. So saying, he lifted the curtain and went into the house.

Ah Tao hurriedly stopped and said: "It's not a serious matter, it's just that the old lady asked the second wife if there was anything wrong, if there was nothing to talk to her, since the second wife was sleeping, the old slave went back, and when the second wife woke up, let her go, and there was no hurry about it." Later, he smiled and said, "Mother Wang, you have served the second wife for so many years, and you have become more and more meticulous. ”

Wang Ma was praised, and she smiled from ear to ear and said: "Serving the second wife is a blessing from the old slave's three lives." ”

Ah Tao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Wang Ma, who had been in Beijing all these years, not to mention that she was getting richer and richer, and she was getting more and more sleek, so she turned around and left without squeaking.

Half an hour later, there was a sound in the house, Jiang's door was opened, Caizhu looked around, saw Wang Ma and said, "Wang Ma, Mrs. is awake." ”

Wang's mother hurriedly walked into the room, Jiang Shi had already sat up, stepped forward to put on her shoes, and helped her sit down in front of the dresser. ”

Jiang Shi turned his head to her and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier." ”

"The old slave saw that you were sleeping soundly, so he didn't wake you up." Wang Ma was a little trembling and knelt down to admit her mistake.

Jiang Shi looked at Wang Ma who knelt on the ground, and said with a straight face: "Okay, I don't blame you, get up, there will be such things in the future, that is, when I sleep or do other things, you need to tell me in time, do you know?" ”

Wang Ma got up at this time and said with a smile: "The old slave knows, Mrs. Don't be angry with the old slave, the province will be angry." ”

Then Jiang sighed and didn't say anything, Wang Ma was quietly waiting for her to wash her face this time, and after washing it, she put on her makeup again, Jiang Shi glanced at the bronze mirror, and saw that the makeup was okay, and the tunnel: "Let's go to the old lady." ”

Wang Ma helped her stand up, and Caizhu, who was waiting for her behind her, followed Jiang to the old lady's house, and as soon as Jiang entered the mother-in-law's house, it was as if she was a different person, and her face was full of smiles and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is here." After speaking, he blessed Mrs. Xue.

Mrs. Xue was half-squinting on the kang, and when she heard the second daughter-in-law coming, she slowly opened her eyes and said, "The second family is here." ”

"It's here, mother!" Jiang slowly walked over to his mother-in-law and sat down.

"The second family, my mother asked you to come because I want to talk to you about something,"

"What's the matter? Mother? ”

"Mother knows that when you returned to the town from Beijing, there was a big gap all of a sudden, so you couldn't accept it for a while, but people! How can it be smooth, the more difficult things you have, the smoother you can get over. ”

"Look at what my mother said, my daughter-in-law is used to seeing such things in Beijing, so she can bear it, but the children can't adapt to it all of a sudden."

"I just want to talk to you about this, since the children can't adapt to it all of a sudden, then let's invite a few embroidery girls to come over and teach the female baby to embroider, and the male baby, so follow Heng'er to read together! That way, they won't feel that it's boring to stay in the house every day, don't you think? ”

What can Chiang say? The mother-in-law was waiting for her in this place, she felt bitter in her heart, but her face was indifferent, and she said, "What my mother said is that my daughter-in-law originally planned to do the same." ”

"Okay, that proves that our mother and daughter want to go to a place," and changed Ah Tao again, only to see Ah Tao come in with a plate in his hand, and Mrs. Xue said to Jiang: "This is a golden silk fragrant wood inlaid cicada jade bead, and I have been with me for many years, so I will give it to you." ”

Jiang Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mother, you should keep such good things for yourself!" ”

Old Lady Xue frowned and glared, "I know you have seen a lot of valuable things in the capital, why don't you look down on me now?" ”

"Mother, what are you talking about, the daughter-in-law didn't think so, "Mother-in-law, is this a slap to a sweet date?" Since it's for sweet dates, can she change her taste, Tunnel: "Mother, in fact, my daughter-in-law also has something I want to tell you, but I don't know how to speak." ”

"Say it!" Old Lady Xue said lightly.

"Mother, you see that I have not been filial piety by your side all these years, I am already ashamed, all these years in the house by the sister-in-law is worried about the big and small things, tired of her for many years, I feel even more uncomfortable, now that I am back, is it time for my sister-in-law to think about happiness."

"This ...... I have to think about it," I didn't expect the second family to make this request, she couldn't help but think deeply, so she closed her eyes, and while the second family was not paying attention, her eyes quietly revealed a gap, looking at the second family's demeanor at this time, she came back this time, preparing to take back the right of the old family's stewardship.

Jiang is not in a hurry, anyway, she has time to wait, I thought that after a while, since her mother-in-law's hand reached out to her backyard, then she made a request, all in exchange for conditions.

Mrs. Xue thought about it and said: "Second family, let me talk to your sister-in-law about this matter, see how she reacts, after all, your sister-in-law has been a housekeeper for many years, if we force her to let go, it is a little unkind, what do you say?" What she said this time was purely a tone of discussion, not something she decided, the second family just had to do what she said.

Jiang Shi said lightly: "What my mother says is what it is,"

Old Madam Xue continued: "Take your things and go out!" I'm tired and want to squint for a while. ”

"Then rest your mother! The daughter-in-law retired. Jiang Shi left with victory, but she did not feel happy at all, because once this matter was said, she would be an unpleasant person to her mother-in-law from now on.

After the Jiang family left, Mrs. Xue said to Ah Tao behind her: "This person, his appetite is getting bigger and bigger,"

"Old lady, everyone has his own life, you, don't worry about it." Tao said with relief.

"Can I not want to? The second family's return is bound to have an impact on the old family, but I didn't expect that in the past few days, the second family wanted to take away the stewardship of the old family. ”

Ah Tao said: "But if you don't agree to the second wife, won't the second master's concubines and concubines still have no advantages in the future." ”

"This is the real reason why the second child wants to arrange for the women and children of his back house to return to the town, the situation between the DPRK and China is indeed tense, but there is no need to move the people in the back house back to the town, this is the second child begging me to help him take care of his children behind his back, everything in the second family is good, but the heart is a little small, and the difference between treating the sister-in-law and the concubine is too big, but for the second child, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, and he is distressed if any child is uncomfortable in the future,"

"That's good." Tao said sadly.

After a while, Mrs. Xue sighed and said, "Come on, let's go, I can only grieve the old family," and said to Ah Tao: "You go and call the eldest lady over, and say that I have something to discuss with her." ”

"Yes," Ah Tao turned around and went out, leaving Old Lady Xue alone in the house to ponder.

Ah Tao walked quickly to the eldest lady's house, saw Ginkgo guarding outside, and asked, "Is the eldest lady in the house?" ”

"Where are you?"

"Can I take a nap?"

"No, my wife is alone in the house."

"Oh, then you go and tell me I'm coming."

"Then Mama Tao is waiting outside, I'll go and tell my wife." Ginkgo biloba blessed.

After Ginkgo entered the house, she told Shen that Mama Tao was coming, and Shen said, "Let her come in!" ”

"Big lady, the old lady asked the old slave to come over and say that she has something to discuss with you."

"Oh? Can Mama Peach tell me what's going on? If it weren't for the important matter, the mother-in-law wouldn't let Mama Tao come over, and asked a little positively.

"You'd better listen to the old lady!" Tao thought for a moment and replied slowly.

Shen knew that things were not so simple, so he hurriedly asked Ginkgo to put shoes on her, and then went to her mother-in-law with Ah Tao.

Lost something! Alas!
