The candles in the hall are bright, the house is burning sandalwood, the old lady wears purple gold and jade to wipe her forehead, leans on the kang covered with tiger skin coats, looks lazy, is closing her eyes and counting the Buddha beads bracelet in her hand.

There are many treasures and antiques listed in the Duobao mackerel next to it, and there are 10,000-year-old bluestone bonsai with jade as the leaf and jade as the branches on the high table, and the floor tiles are like mirrors, and the figures are more than enough.

Below her, on the left and on the right, sat two noble ladies of the same age and well-dressed.

The older one on the left, dressed in a blue golden gourd butterfly pattern silk jacket, is the third wife, Zhou, who is the daughter of the old lady's sister.

Through this relationship, the eldest lady died of illness in the house, and the eldest lady sadly handed over the power of the middle feed to the fourth lady, and got an errand to assist the affairs of the government.

She is usually high-profile, and she is the most jealous.

Because he went out to incense with the four rooms during the day, he only heard about the afternoon after returning home, and now he is full of injustice, "Old lady, the second sister-in-law and they don't know each other, if the west enclosure is not a relative of the emperor, how can it be casually able to bring people in and out?"

Nanyang Hou Shizi is the nephew of the crown princess and the cousin of the imperial grandson, how can the people he befriend be unknown? Besides, this mistakenly broke into the paddock was originally Sister Guan'er, isn't it, and now Mrs. Fu has let her son take it, and she Ji is embarrassed to check it again? ”

The old lady's closed eyes widened, glanced at her, and then looked at the fourth lady in royal blue makeup satin on her right hand.

The fourth wife, Meng Shi, was born in the Hou Mansion of Beiping, and grew up under the training of the hairpin family since she was a child, and she will not be as thin-eyed as Zhou.

She groaned and said: "Brother Fu is drunk with tea, Mrs. Fu didn't have a seizure, things are really unbelievable." Old lady, you personally went to Langxian Garden today, I don't know how drunk my aunt and grandmother's husband and brother are? ”

When these words were heard in Zhou's ears, they were a little out of bounds.

The third wife interjected: "Fourth brother and sister, the matter of the Fu family's brother getting drunk with tea, and the second room to offend the powerful, how do you inquire about this?" ”

The old lady's face was slightly condensed, and she paused for a moment in the movement of turning the Buddha beads, and replied seriously: "Brother Jun'er's cheeks are red, and he is drunk and unconscious, and he looks at it very lightly." ”

"The Fu family is also a high-gate mansion, how energetic was Mrs. Fu in the past? can make their family come forward to bear this incident, thinking that the archery who caused Sister Guan's son to stumble, if not a royal noble, must also be a son of the clan. The fourth lady spoke heavily.

The third lady changed color and exclaimed, "Royal family? Ouch, this is worth it? ”

She turned to look at the people on the kang, "Old lady, you have to take care of the second room, you can't check like this anymore." Even the Fu family is afraid of being implicated, how can our family be guilty? ”

As he spoke, he was a little annoyed when he looked at the eyes of the concubine opposite, "Brother and sister, it's not me who said, the fourth master is to blame for this." He is a waiter in the ministry, why does he have to transfer the second master back? ”

If they have been reporting their work all their lives, how can they be blocked?

Since the promotion of the second master, Zhou has not said less.

The eldest and youngest are orderly, the eldest man goes early, and the eldest wife has no energy to take care of the house, and only takes care of the children under her;

The second room is out all the year round, although they are out of the third room, but there is the care of the old lady, and the fourth room is not embarrassed.

When he returned to Yanjing, he made a fuss, and the Zhou family was upset, and the complaints in his heart were accumulating more and more.

The fourth lady glanced at her, her face did not move, but she was very disdainful in her heart.

The old lady was also a little dissatisfied, she loved her niece, but of course the heavier thing was her own son, and said unhappily: "What did you say? The official document for the transfer of the official position was personally approved by Cui Shangshu, how could the fourth child stop it?

Besides, the second brother is his brother, how can anyone stop his brother's future? What you said is not appropriate, and you don't want to compensate your younger siblings, right? ”

Cui Shangshu is the secretary of the ministry, and the fourth master Yan Wenlin is now serving as a waiter under him.

When the third lady saw her mother-in-law speak, and saw that her expression was indistinguishable, her heart was empty, so she hurriedly got up and smiled: "What the old lady said is that I am clumsy, and the fourth brother and sister should not go to their hearts." ”

"The third sister-in-law is serious." The fourth lady was very interested.

The old lady nodded, waved her hand and sent Zhou back, and then said to Meng: "What has the fourth child found out in the past few days?" If it's not the Ji family, who will help the second child in Beijing?

Although Shaoqing of Dali Temple is not a high position, he has a lot of power in his hands, which is much better than being the prefect of the prefecture outside. Cui Shangshu suddenly asked Brother Lin about the second child, it would not be without reason. ”

The fourth lady shook her head, "Cui Shangshu said that it is because of the relationship between our master, this is a favor to the Yan family, and the master can't directly ask Lord Shangshu if he has his mind." ”

The listener was not surprised, picked up a few sides of the tea cup and ate two bites, squinted and said: "If you can't inquire, you don't need to ask, it's nothing if you come back from the second room."

The second old man is pedantic and does not understand the sophistication and sleekness, and the Ji family is an acute child, who is afraid that others will bully her precious children all day long, and he is not good at taking care of government affairs, so he can't add anything.

You Ming'er will take a trip to Langxian Garden, and tell the Ji family to let Brother Xu and Brother Xi go to the clan school together. Also, invite a few more female Xixi into the house, I see that Sister Guan was indulged by the second daughter-in-law and did not even dare to break into the paddock forest, which is really not the virtue of a lady of the family.

She looks like this, and she will be brought out during the New Year's holidays in the future, so that people don't have to see our Yan family's jokes and affect the reputation of the fourth child. ”

"What the old lady said is that the daughter-in-law will do it tomorrow."

After the fourth wife responded, she expressed her doubts in her heart: "The two rooms of the long room are the same as each other, although the sister-in-law is only the cousin of the crown princess, but after all, there is a relationship between the Nanyang Hou Mansion." Old lady, you said, could it be that the Shen family is secretly helping the second master? ”

The listener's expression was awe-inspiring, and he really pondered carefully.

The eldest master is gone, the eldest lady has been low-key for so many years, and she looks like she has no quarrel with the world, but if she really doesn't care about everything, she won't go with the Fu family to persuade the Ji family today.

Brother Xi, the eldest young master of the long house, is also fourteen years old, and compared with the fourth master of the half-father, he is naturally closer to the second master of his uncle. If the eldest lady went to find the door of the Shen family for this, it was not impossible.

She looked at Meng Shi with appreciation in her eyes, and the hand holding the Buddha beads stretched out, and the latter got up and sat down next to her mother-in-law.

The old lady's eyebrows curled, patted the back of her hand lovingly, and said with relief: "You are a smart person, Brother Lin's career has been smooth over the years, and you also have your credit in it." ”

"The daughter-in-law is ashamed." Meng Shi's humble speech.

The old lady liked her not to be arrogant or impatient, and the smile on the corner of her lips grew: "Whether the Shen family is helping the second child or not, the world only knows that it is the fourth brother who transferred his brother back from Zunyi Mansion with the reputation of being poked in the back. ”

The fourth lady heard the deep meaning and was busy responding.
