The old lady didn't sleep well yesterday, and she had a terrible headache when she got up, and the old lady who was married next to her helped press it for a long time before she could exhale smoothly, and people could stand up. She sat slowly in front of the dresser in a dark red new winter coat, touching her gray temples, and her heart was suddenly irritable. The young girl who used to be as beautiful as a flower in the bronze mirror is now wrinkled and old, and her youth is like the silver in her hand.

Syllable!

The old lady took a comb and slapped it on the table and said, "Fleur's girl has already been arranged?" ”

The old lady said in a hoarse voice: "It has been arranged, and the people who send it are all our old people." ”

"But be careful, this woman in the backyard...... Don't look at the well-behaved and sensible people on weekdays, when you meet a man's business, you can do anything. The old lady took out a blood jade bracelet from the jewelry box and gently put it on her wrist.

"Don't worry, the old lady has already sorted out in our yard, and there will be no mistakes." Although the old lady was old, she still had good skills in combing her hair, and she skillfully pinned the old lady's gray hair into the black hair, and the old lady was younger than she had just been.

The old lady smiled with satisfaction at the bronze mirror.

"You have always won my heart so much, and it was the right choice for me to keep you in the first place."

The old lady pursed her lips and smiled, complimenting: "This is the blessing of being a slave and maid, the slave and maid have been with the old lady for half their lives, except for the old lady, the slave and maid will not go anywhere!" ”

"It's going to sound good, it's still like this when you're old!" The old lady feigned anger, and then said, "If only Fleur had a boy in her belly." ”

"Old lady?"

The old lady twisted her handkerchief and shook her hand to stop the old lady's words and said: "I know what you want to say, Brother Peng is my favorite since I was a child, I thought that his biological mother is a good person, and he is also my only grandson, if I don't rely on him, who else can I rely on in the future?" Who knows, this is a big heart, his mother is an aunt, and what flowers can jump out of it? But the loss is that his mother is an aunt who is too shallow, so she raised Brother Peng with such a temperament. ”

The old lady looked sad, but she seemed to have forgotten that she was going to spoil this lone seedling more than Aunt Mei.

"Since my son is not incapable of rebirth, why bother to make my son's heir thin?" The old lady's slightly cloudy eyes moved, looked at the rich woman in the mirror and said, "I heard that Lao Xitou's daughter, Sister Cai, is not young?" ”

"Old lady, this is going to ...... But the lady ......," the old lady put down her comb and hesitated.

It's okay not to mention the Guan family, but when the old lady of the Guan family mentions it, she is annoyed: "Don't mention that mourning star!" If it weren't for her, the hen who can't lay eggs, how could my son have no sister-in-law, so that I can use these concubines as treasures? The concubine is the concubine, and it cannot be on the table! Where can she get into trouble with such a confused nature? She didn't want to pay attention to her when she was in her mother's house, so much so that it became a joke for my son to marry a daughter of the Hou Mansion! What's the use of a Yue family that can't make people benefit? Hum! If this is not Kyoto, what if my son marries a house! ”

The old grandmother's body trembled, and she shrank nervously from her old body.

"I heard that my son recently met the peak of the past?" Even if the second master Meng was strict about peeking into the front yard in the backyard, how could the old lady let go of her son in the palm of her hand, and the person under such news reported reads early in the morning for the reward;.

The old lady said: "I heard that it seems to be the original prefect, and now he is transferred back to Beijing, and the old man is related to the queen mother's mother's prime minister's mansion, so naturally he has a prosperous official fortune all the way." ”

"Well, that's right, he should have gone out and walked around by himself, what filial piety can't come and go, and it's not our old lady who died! There is no need to flatter any big house, they have always been estranged from our family, I am afraid that they have long wished that the master could not make up for the shortage, and wanted to see our family's jokes. The old lady said angrily: "Waiting for my son to take the road of the prime minister, maybe the big house will have to live according to the face of our family in the future." ”

"That's that......," the old woman's hand moved again.

At this time, the curtain at the door was raised, and a girl in a water-red skirt walked in, and saluted the old lady and the old woman: "The housekeeper came to take the right card today, and let the slave come over and ask, is this year's New Year the same as usual?" ”

"Same, whatever, same!" The old lady turned her head sideways and glared at her round eyes and said, "What is the situation now, they don't know?" There are so many thieves in the house, and they are still thinking about what happened during the New Year! They are all the descendants of our family, as long as they do their duty, they don't worry about eating and drinking in our family, but they don't think about the main family, what a group of slaves! ”

The girl in the water-red skirt lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word.

The old lady hurriedly persuaded: "There are too many noble people in the old lady, why should you be angry with these cheap people, they can still make a big scene?" But speaking of which, it's really going to be the New Year, let's not let others see jokes, we still have to prepare. ”

The old lady took a five-blessing golden hairpin inlaid with ruby from the box and handed it to the old lady and said, "Well, let Aunt Mei do this for this time, you have to keep an eye on it for me, I am becoming more and more worried about her affairs." ”

The old lady immediately responded cautiously.

"By the way, since it's the New Year, what is the dead girl still doing in the big house? You send someone to call her back for me, if she doesn't come back, then she won't come back in the future, and she will die in the big house and be the daughter of the big house! The old lady mentioned Guan's daughter, and said with a disgusted face: "What kind of mother or daughter, it's terrible to look at, she doesn't have to ask me to say goodbye when she comes back, stay in her own yard, don't go to the big house to embarrass our family in the future, even if the master says it!" ”

The old lady should go down again.

The old lady bowed her head and stopped talking, and the old lady put up her head for the old lady.

The old lady tilted her head back and forth to admire the old lady's craftsmanship, and just when she turned around and wanted to order food, she saw that the girl in the water-red jacket was still in the house, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Why are you still here?" ”

The girl bowed and bowed, and went out backwards.

"Now the subordinates are really getting more and more untouchable." The old lady glanced at the curtain and turned to go inside.

The girl in the red jacket came out of the old lady's house, and did not talk to others, but only went to the front and talked to the steward about the matter, and then retreated without much talk, and the steward looked forward to coming and returning disappointed, and how many people also knew the old lady's decision at the same time, they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction in person, but they could talk to people in private, especially the old lady's words, and the big house over there also got the news, saying that not only did they get double the monthly money at the end of the year, but also received two sets of new winter clothes.

This back and forth, people will also visit the door, not to mention that there is only a door away from the two families, while walking happily with the wind, while hanging their heads as if someone had died in the family.

"What do you think our old lady thinks? This year is actually not as good as in previous years, and there is a set of winter clothes in previous years. ”

"Not really! Listening to them, it was the old lady who lost her private room this time and felt aggrieved. ”

"Then we can't be used as a fill! Let's talk to someone. ”

Occasionally, there would be a few people gathered around the two gates, but there were so many people who came this time, and everyone wanted to know what benefits the servants of the big house had gained.

At this time, the girl in the red jacket and skirt quietly blended into the crowd, carefully walked to the doorrail between the two houses, and said to a child squatting on the ground and mud inside: "Go and tell the third girl, just say that the old lady is going to take her back, so that she can be prepared." ”

The boy didn't look up, as if he hadn't heard.

"Sister Peach, why did you come here!"

The girl in the red jacket turned around and greeted her, "Don't you also want to know what the charter of that room is?" Ay...... It's all fate! ”

"Isn't that what you say when you serve the old lady?"

Taohong shook her head with a bitter face and said: "A while ago, my father owed gambling debts, and I begged the old lady to no avail, but fortunately, although my family is poor, there are also a few distant relatives in Kyoto, and I got it back, otherwise I'm afraid that I won't even have my hands at this time." ”

The person who came was not surprised and seemed to have known for a long time, and she also persuaded: "It's okay, I heard, the little second sister-in-law in Aunt Mei's yard, her son has been very sick recently, it seems that he is going to die, tsk...... I don't know if I can ask for a doctor! ”

"We subordinates are all cheap! Who cares! I don't know who shouted in the crowd behind me.

No one paid attention at this moment, and the little boy who was playing with the mud just now was no longer where he was, and he didn't know where he was.

In the courtyard of Acacia, the pomegranate just got the news and hurriedly ran into the door, she looked at Acacia holding the table and practicing walking, and the sweat on her head in the winter was forced out and said: "Girl, why are you so troubled?" No one is going to force you to hurry up, right? If you let the eldest lady see this, I'm afraid I should talk about you again. ”

"You can't be here all the time." Acacia moved his ankle, which was still a little sore, and said lightly: "It's all over the year, although I want to stay in the big room and watch the fireworks with my sisters, but I'm afraid that the old lady won't agree." ”

Pomegranate was stunned for a moment, and then stopped talking.

"What's wrong? Is there news coming from the other end? "Lovesick suddenly.

Pomegranate hesitated for a while before she said, "The girl is really clever, isn't it just that the old lady wants to send someone to pick up the girl?" ”

Acacia didn't panic, but said: "Collect all my valuable things, most of them will be sent to the eldest sister, and a few of them will be sent to the old lady when we go back to the second room." ”

"Girl! These things are all prepared for you by the eldest lady and the eldest young master! Pomegranate said anxiously.

"Isn't it mostly there, you just choose those cheesy and worthless preparations, you believe me, only then can we have a good year." Acacia said unhurriedly.

As long as they are sent to the old lady, then what reason does Meng Ruoyi and Meng Guizhi have to ask her for things, and now the old lady has a gap with Aunt Mei again, there is no other woman who conceived her father in her previous life, and the old lady has to endure this breath to take care of Aunt Mei, but now, ...... Isn't there still a hibiscus?

She is the most filial, lovesick eyes and eyebrows, not like a child.
