After Mama Sun left, Qian Yuning had been sitting in her room for a long time, watching the sun move down the windowsill inch by inch, and the sky began to darken, Mama Liu entered the house, saw Qian Yuning sitting alone in the house, walked over to the table and lit an oil lamp, and said to her: "Third lady, why do you sit alone, and don't ask the maids to bring you a hand warmer, and don't ask someone to bring you a brazier in." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 She walked over and touched her hand, exclaimed, "Oops! Why are your hands so cold, third lady, are you cold? Dongxue, Dongxue, you dead girl, why don't you bring a hand-warming bag for the third lady, freeze the third lady, and see how I will clean you up later. She shouted out of the house in a fit of rage.

Dongxue quickly came in with a basin of hot water, and said to Mama Liu aggrievedly: "Mama, don't punish me, it's the third lady who doesn't allow the slave to come in, she called Grandma Sun to talk in the house, and the slave and maid are not allowed to approach, the third lady didn't call the slave and the maid, and the slave didn't dare to come in, I don't know that Grandma Sun has left, and I don't know that the third lady is frozen." Dongxue cautiously glanced at Mama Liu as she spoke, she looked a little afraid of Mama Liu.

When Mama Liu saw that Dongxue still dared to talk back, she grabbed her ear and said, "You are a pig's brain!" The master does not allow you to come near the house, so you don't know how to wait in the courtyard? In the past two days, as long as it is night, the temperature will drop sharply, and I will not have a long brain, come and see if there is anyone in the third lady's house, whether there is a lamp, a girl like you who has bad rules, I will simply let the wooden housekeeper take it away tomorrow, and replace it with an obedient little girl. ”

Dong Xue was obviously frightened this time, and didn't dare to talk back, only looking at Qian Yuning with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

Qian Yuning couldn't bear to see her looking at herself like that, so she got up and said: "Mama, forget it, it's not a big deal, just spare her this time, you see, I'm hungry too, Dongxue, go and ask them to set the meal, and by the way, ask the second son and the third girl to come over for dinner together." She instructed the winter snow, turned her head, and said to Mama Liu: "Mama, have you gone out of the house to inquire about anything in the past two days?" Mama Liu shook her head and said, "No, the door of Yufu is very tightly guarded, and the old slave didn't inquire about any useful news, but the old slave met a food delivery woman in Yufu, and she promised me that she would take me in with her next time she went to Yufu to deliver food." The old slave went around in front of the house for two days, and his house was quiet in front of the door every day, only occasionally when the adults and young masters in the house wanted to go out, there would be carriages coming in and out, and the rest of the time, the gate was closed, and once the idle people approached, the guards guarding the door would come and drive people away. ”

Qian Yuning nodded and said, "Okay, let's go slowly, don't rush, plan slowly, there will always be a chance to inquire clearly." ”

A few days later, Qian Yuning went to Yonghe Courtyard to greet Mrs. Hou, and met Zhu Rong again, she is now eight months pregnant, and she looks very pregnant.

After Qian Yuning, Lin Wanzhen and Zhu Rong gave Mrs. Hou a light slight, Zhu Rong was about to walk over and sit down on the chair on the left side of Mrs. Hou's head with the support of the maid Chunxiu, but Mrs. Hou waved to Qian Yuning and said with pity: "Yuning! Come here, sit next to my mother, Mei Lian, and ask someone to bring over the chair. She pointed to the chair to her left.

Meilian bowed down to answer Mrs. Hou's instructions, and commanded the two little maids to move the chairs, closer to Mrs. Hou, Qian Yuning was just about to sit down, and Mrs. Hou said again: "Meilian, go and take out the velvet brocade cushion in my room and put it on the third lady, why does that chair look so hard?" ”

Meilian felt a little strange, why did she feel that Mrs. Hou Ye had become closer to Mrs. Ning San recently? But she didn't see Mrs. Ning San do anything special, if it was for no reason, she didn't believe it, there must be something, otherwise, according to Mrs. Hou's temperament, how could she suddenly be so kind to her.

Thinking about it in her heart, Meilian still walked into the room quickly and brought out the special cushion for Mrs. Hou, put Mrs. Ning on the chair, and invited her to sit down. She said, "Third Mrs. Ning, sit down quickly, see how much our old lady loves you." ”

After Qian Yuning sat down, Mrs. Hou asked her with a kind face, "What about the two children, why didn't they come?" ”

She smiled and said, "Mother, the two children will arrive soon, and I said that they would come together, and the two little tricksters said that they were going to bring the ducks and rabbits in their house to show their grandmother, and that they would read them to their grandmother." ”

Mrs. Hou was very happy to hear this: "Really? I know that these two children are filial, and they have learned to recognize this? Who taught? ”

Qian Yuning replied with a smile: "This is also very similar to the temperament of the little marquis, the children and daughters Xiao's father, the little marquis is filial to his mother, and the children are the same." ”

Mrs. Hou Ye was happy to hear this, and said directly: "Okay, good, good, they are all good children, I don't expect anything, I just hope that a few of them will be filial to me, then I will be content in this life." ”

Mrs. Hou Ye talked to Qian Yuning most of the day, and after the two children came, they reported to their knees one by one to coax and talk, and their attitude towards Zhu Rong was a lot colder, that is, they asked a few words by the way as if they were going through the motions. For Lin Wanzhen, she doesn't seem to like it before, in short, now everyone can see that Mrs. Hou's favorite is Mrs. Ning San and the second son and the third girl.

Mrs. Hou Ye was affectionate to Qian Yuning and snubbed herself, Zhu Rong felt all kinds of grievances in her heart, since she was pregnant with a child, even the little Hou Ye, who was lukewarm to her before, began to treat her well, obviously Mrs. Hou Ye valued herself better than Qian Yuning some time ago, why has everything changed in the past few days? She really can't figure it out, she really can't figure it out!

Although Lin Wanzhen said that she had a good relationship with Qian Yuning during this period of time, once she was snubbed, and saw that Qian Yuning was more treated by Mrs. Hou, she also felt a little uncomfortable, but she understood her identity very well, and she was always the wife of the concubine, and after all, she could not be treated like the two equal wives of Mrs. Hou's biological son, Xiao Hou Ye.

Qian Yuning naturally knew in her heart why Mrs. Hou suddenly became so good to her, not only to her, but also to the two children, and now every day she has to order the two children to be brought over to her to take a look, and ask the children what they ate, whether they slept well, what they learned, and so on. After she returned to the Hou Mansion from Puji Temple, she called the little Hou Ye and asked him to find one or two learned Confucians to teach the children to learn to read. Mrs. Hou's move confused the little Hou Ye, what's wrong with the mother, her son Feng Ge'er and daughter Sister Yue are only two years old, so they have to find a teacher, and they also have to find a learned Confucian, don't say that the learned Confucianism is not easy to find for a while, even if they find it, when people look at it, they are teaching two two-year-old children, and they will definitely not be willing.

The little marquis then said, why don't you find a showman to raise someone, this kind of person can be invited casually as soon as he grabs a handful, just take the mother's heart, please come and play with the two children to read and write. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hou was furious when she heard this, and said: "What a little show and a small person, these people can't even pass the Jinshi exam, and dare to come to the Hou Mansion to teach my grandchildren, tell them not to think about it, Yan'er, you find me a great Confucian who has studied the past and the present, no matter how much money is spent, teaching the children, but not sloppy." ”

Mrs. Hou Ye is obsessed with this matter, and the little Hou Ye has no choice but to come down first, but where can he find it! It's just a joke, only those who have learned will not succumb to the small Hou Mansion to teach two children who have not yet learned to read, and ask them to teach them two to read, which is even more overkill and insulting! So, until much later, the two siblings did not have a teacher to teach them. And since the little marquis went out to find a famous Confucian in the capital to teach his son and daughter, someone came to inquire whether it was Cui Jinzhen, the eldest son who was six and a half years old, who was six and a half years old, and later heard that it was the second son and third daughter who were only two years old, and this matter immediately spread to all officials and all corners of the upper class, including the palace. The two siblings An Xinhou Mansion and Cui Jinfeng and Cui Xiyue also completely became everyone's laughing stock because of this incident. Everyone said that the little marquis of Anxin Mansion wanted his son to become crazy and wanted to be crazy, and the eldest son wanted to train the younger son if he was not successful, but the younger son was only two years old, and his teeth had not yet grown, so maybe he was still breastfeeding in the arms of his wet nurse, and asked him to write and read with a pen? That's a fool's dream!

As a result, there are two more victims of this incident, that is, Cui Jinzhen, who is the eldest son of the little marquis, and the old marquis, who is the head of the Anxin Marquis Mansion, he has not gone out much recently, and he quarrels with the Hou Ye and his wife in the mansion every day, loses his temper, and from time to time asks someone to bring wine to the study for him to drink. And although Cui Jinzhen was ridiculed by people for not getting his father's attention because he was stupid, he was a little sad, but because he didn't have to go out of the house, and most of his family were slaves, no one would say these ugly words to him, and many people would laugh at him, so he couldn't see anything on the surface, just occasionally crying in the nurse's arms.
