After having breakfast with Mrs. Hou, the two sat at the table and said something, Mrs. Hou asked a lot of Cui Jinfeng and Cui Xiyue in detail, when she was in the Hou Mansion, she also called for a hug from time to time to show her, teasing the children to play, grandchildren Chenghuan kneeled, the old lady was always very happy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info has never been as concerned as today, in the past, Brother Feng and Sister Yue were the granddaughters of the aunt in the old lady's heart, and naturally they were not as serious as the young lady Shi Huiyun's serious grandson Cui Jinzhen and granddaughter Cui Xiyun. However, since Master Tianyan said that yesterday, the old lady has been very concerned, probably, she is convinced.

After listening to Qian Yuning tell her a lot about Brother Feng and Sister Yun, the old lady smiled with relief and said, "Yes, Yuning!" You've raised your two children very well, but why do I think they've lost a little weight, isn't it because they don't have a good appetite? I think I'll have to hire a chef for them when I go back, and if you're a child, you'll have to be white and fat. Also, how do I think they are wearing only a few clothes, and they don't make new clothes? ”

Qian Yuning hurriedly said: "No, Brother Feng and Sister Yue have made four sets by themselves this year, all of which are brand new. The last time you saw them, it wasn't too cold, so you didn't put them on. ”

Mrs. Hou frowned and said: "How can one person make four sets, this is the share of the concubine, our Feng Ge'er and Sister Yue are both serious concubines, and one person should do eight sets, I see that the steward in the needlework room is also old and confused, see if I go back and don't drop her." ”

Qian Yuning didn't speak, in fact, Brother Feng and Sister Yue'er only made four sets of clothes for the four seasons, which was ordered by Mrs. Hou Ye and her old man herself, when the mother-in-law of the needlework room went to Yonghe Courtyard to prepare clothes for the third master, she asked Mrs. Hou Ye. Mrs. Hou Ye said to herself: "This year, the money is tight, and everyone does not make many clothes, and they all follow the regulations. ”

The man asked again: "Then did the third lady Ning and the second son and the third girl follow the regulations issued by the concubine or the regulations issued by the concubine?" ”

Mrs. Hou said: "The Qian family is not a serious young lady, in the final analysis, it is not a partial house, and the brothers and sisters she raised have to do it according to the rules of the concubine." ”

In this way, the sewing room was made according to the rules of the concubine, including Qian Yuning himself and two children, each of whom only got four sets of winter clothes. For this matter, Mama Liu also nagged again, saying: "The master has become the third lady this year, and she is the serious wife of the little marquis, why is it still the same as the share of the aunts?" Even if you can't compare with the young lady, the eldest son and the eldest girl, one person has eight sets of winter clothes, so he has to have six sets like the second lady Rong! Now there are only four sets, so that others can see the jokes. At that time, Qian Yuning immediately stopped Mama Liu's words, if these words spread out and entered the ears of Mrs. Hou, it would be a big trouble.

Now that Mrs. Hou said it herself, Qian Yuning only felt that her eyes were wet, and she felt a sense of relief that her grievances had finally been discovered and she had been comforted, and she couldn't help but pick up the handkerchief in her hand and dip the tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Hou patted her hand kindly and said, "Yuning! In the past, I was a little wronged by you, you can rest assured, from now on, in the house, I will be the master for you, see who dares to embarrass you again, you can rest assured and bold to be your third lady. Yes! Wait for the future! When the children grow up and have a future, you will be able to smoothly take care of our home in the Hou Mansion of Anxin, the so-called mother is more expensive than the child, I think Brother Feng and Sister Yue will have to be cultivated well from now on, and when I return home, I will immediately call Yan'er to invite Da Ru to be their teacher. ”

Qian Yuning was a little surprised: "But mother, the children are not yet two years old, will it be too fast!" I heard that the sons and girls in each prefecture also began to enlighten when they were five years old, and the earliest was also four years old. ”

Mrs. Hou Ye said: "Who said it, nonsense, today's princes and princes are not Meng who is three years old, and they invite all learned people in the current dynasty, and teachers who are full of economic Confucianism." As long as the sons and girls of our Hou Mansion want to learn, don't say that they are two years old, they can be invited by one year old. ”

Qian Yuning saw that Mrs. Hou Ye was so impatient and very stubborn, she didn't dare to say more, for fear of angering her. At this moment, Meilian came in to report that a little girl had come from outside the courtyard, saying that she wanted to see the master, and Mrs. Hou asked someone to call in.

Mei Lian got the order, turned around and went out, and after a while, she brought in a little girl with two flower buds, the little girl had a pair of round eyes, very cute, and behind her, there was a maid in green clothes.

After the little girl entered the house, she made a standard etiquette to Mrs. Hou and Qian Yuning, and did it well, as soon as she spoke, her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a yellow bird out of the valley, only to hear her say: "The little girl Xueying has seen the old lady, has seen the lady, the old lady is blessed!" Blessed is Madame! ”

Mrs. Hou saw that she was so polite at a young age, and she was quite appreciative, and said with a gentle smile to her: "Dare to ask which young lady this is, what is the matter with finding Mrs. Ben today?" ”

The little girl named Xue Ying replied seriously: "Old lady, the little girl is a person from the adult's mansion, and I came here today to ask the old lady to make it convenient for me to let my grandmother use the hot spring in your yard." ”

"Oh! Your grandmother? Mrs. Hou asked, "Who is your grandmother?" ”

The little girl thought for a while and said, "My grandmother is my grandmother, she has rheumatism, and the great monk said that the hot spring water in your courtyard will not hurt if you soak in it, and the disease will get better faster." ”

Mrs. Hou said: "It turned out to be a good child with filial piety, okay, I won't soak it anyway, you can use it, Meilian, take them with you!" Mrs. Hou commanded.

The little girl was very happy to see that this kind old lady had agreed, and she giggled and said, "The old lady is really a fairy in heaven, kind and kind, and the little girl has thanked the old lady."

Mrs. Hou was amused by her, became interested in her, and asked, "Little girl, how old are you?" What's your last name? ”

The little girl replied, "Back to the old lady, the little girl is five years old this year. She stretched out a hand and crossed her five fingers, raised it in front of her, and said, "My surname is Wei, and my name is Xue Ying." ”

Mrs. Hou Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Miss Wei is really smart and clever, come, take that plate of preserved fruits and eat it!" Mrs. Hou pointed to a plate of dried fruits on the table and said, Meilian walked over and picked up the preserved fruits along with the plate and put them on the hands of the green-clothed maid behind the little girl.

The little girl Wei Xueying saluted Mrs. Hou again and said, "Little girl, thank you old lady, I don't know which old lady the old lady is, what her surname is, and the little girl will definitely repay you well in the future." ”

Mrs. Hou Ye laughed, waved her hand again and again, and said: "No, no, Miss Wei, please do it, I'm just an ordinary old woman, but it just so happens that I have come up to the mountain to worship the Buddha these days, and when I meet today, it is also fate, and I don't need you to repay it." ”

"Okay, then thank you old lady, the little girl will retire." Wei Xueying very obediently saluted Mrs. Hou and Qian Yuning, who was already sitting on the side, and retreated.

In the house, no one found Qian Yuning, who was completely stunned, she looked at the little girl, wasn't she the little girl she met when she was looking at the lanterns on the street during the Shangyuan Festival last year?

I actually met her here today, and she said that her own name is Wei Xueying, Wei Xueying, surnamed Wei, called Xueying, and her own Niuniu name is obviously also called Xueying, where in the world is there such a coincidence? She said that she was from the Lord's Mansion, Lord Yu, Yu Tianfeng, Wei Mingyuan's senior brother, Qian Yuning thought in a panic, would she be her daughter, would she be?

By the way, didn't she say that her grandmother would come over to soak in the hot springs? After they came over after a while, they quietly went to check and see if the grandmother she was talking about was Wei Mingyuan's mother, wouldn't they be able to know? Qian Yuning remembered that her daughter had a red cinnabar mole in the palm of her right hand, oops! Just now, she was so stunned that she forgot to take her hand and take a look, and she felt a pang of chagrin in her heart.

Thinking of this, Qian Yuning's hands began to tremble slightly uncontrollably. She was a little expectant, but suddenly a little scared! The eldest daughter, Niuniu, if she is really her own Niuniu, how should I place her? Bring it back to the Hou Mansion, will the little Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Ye agree? Since entering the house, she has begged the little Hou Ye to help find Niuniu several times, but the little Hou Ye has a sudden change of mood every time, and he just leaves, he looks quite unhappy, unhappy, himself, can he bring Niuniu back to live with him? However, the eldest daughter who was finally found, she only came to the capital to find her, and now that she has finally found it, shouldn't she be happy? Yes, she should be happy, but why is her mood so heavy now?

Seeing that the little girl had gone out, Mrs. Hou turned her head and said to Qian Yuning: "Haha, this is really an interesting little girl, Yuning, don't you say?" She turned her head and said, but saw Qian Yuning's face was pale and uncomfortable, she reached over and touched her hand, and said in surprise: "Oops! Yuning! What's wrong with you, your hands are shaking, are you wearing less, a little cold, look at you, don't wear one more, go back and add another piece of clothing, or take a good rest in the bed, don't be sick, it's freezing this day, how can you be sick, go back to the house quickly. Mrs. Hou instructed the two little maids in her house, and said, "Come on, help your third lady up, send her back to rest, give her more hot water, and boil some porridge for her to drink. ”

"Yes, old lady." The two girls responded, came over and helped Qian Yuning up one left and one right, Qian Yuning only felt dizzy, her whole body was weak, she barely pulled out a pale smile at Mrs. Hou, and said weakly: "Mother, then Yuning will retire." ”

Mrs. Hou waved her hand, nodded and said, "Go, go, have a good rest, leave me alone, I'm going to listen to the scriptures." (To be continued.) )
