As soon as Sun Sanniang was sent away, the Xu family came. This time it was a decent grandmother, surnamed Cheng, wearing a purple bikina, with two jade-faced golden hairpins inserted side by side on her round bun. She also had two rough mothers-in-law by her side, both of whom were clean and neat.

Although it is now Mrs. Jin in charge, this kind of thing still has to be done by Song Xiuzhu. Cheng's mother saw Song Xiuzhu, her face was full of smiles: "The maid asked Mrs. Song to say goodbye, a while ago Dr. Li came back and said about the illness of the fifth lady, my eldest lady was so distressed that she couldn't do it, so she asked the maid to send some supplements and medicinal materials, Dr. Li is the proud disciple of the Zhou Academy, this is all to invite him to pass the purpose, is facing the body of the fifth lady, my eldest wife said, although this lack of qi and blood is a common wealth disease of young ladies who have not left the cabinet, but it cannot be ignored, while the fifth miss is still young, take care of it, and it will naturally be fine." ”

Saying that, Cheng's mother presented the gift list to Song Xiuzhu again, and Song Xiuzhu took a cursory look at it, and saw that there were not only angelica astragalus, longan wolfberry, Chuanxiong codonopsis, and a few boxes of boiled ejiao paste, but also more than a dozen food supplement recipes, as if the Jin family didn't even understand these.

Song Xiuzhu was unhappy, this Xu family is really, but the two families have exchanged tokens, and so far they have not invited someone to officially come to the door to propose, but instead sent these things, but it seems that they really regard Linglong as a daughter-in-law who has never passed the door, for fear of being mistreated by her mother's family.

She put on a smiling face, let Mrs. Zhang reward Cheng's mother and the people she brought, and took this year's Baihao silver needle as a gift, said kind words, and sent the people from the Xu family away with a smile.

As soon as the Xu family left, Song Xiuzhu's face was pulled down, and she threw the gift list on the pineapple table, and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Why are you still stunned, don't you send these to Miss Five, it's too late, and people talk about it, as if we are red-eyed with these things." ”

Mrs. Zhang pouted: "It's just some common medicinal materials, how much do we have in the library of Xifu, that is, the poor acid like the Xu family is regarded as a good thing, and people will send it over." ”

Song Xiuzhu sneered and said to Mrs. Zhang: "You have a little more eyesight, haven't you seen what happened today?" How much does the Xu family care about the body of the five girls, and they are afraid of marrying a sick son to go back. It's just a small problem like a lack of qi and blood, and they are so excited.

She picked up the teacup of pastel flowers and birds, took a sip, paused, and said: "When I was still a girl, I heard people say that in our Xiaoshan, there was a poor woman who couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, so he had to marry a crazy woman and enter the door, and the two daughters he gave birth to were stupid and crazy. That Ying family only has the only son of Xu Erye, if it also affects the heirs because of this, I am afraid that he will even have the intention of dying. ”

In addition to Song Xiuzhu, there were only two in the room, Mrs. Zhang and Lixiang, Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was even more fine: "Mrs., you understand this matter, you just wait." ”

Song Xiuzhu sighed, and wiped the emerald green and crystal bracelet on her wrist with a handkerchief: "I am an old pearl yellow, and I can't even compare to a maid in the eyes of my lord, you see that this bracelet was given by my sister when I was a child, but look at the pair on the wrist of the green sleeve, it is not bad at all compared to this." ”

She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief embroidered with a white lotus, and sighed: "Alas, I am useless, I look forward to Sister Yuan and Sister Yu having a good home, especially Sister Yuan, she was rectified like this by the five girls, my heart is like a knife, but what can I do, I can only watch her being trampled under her feet." ”

Mrs. Zhang and Lixiang listened to it with a sour heart, although the third lady said that her heart was higher, but she was also pampered since she was a child, since the fifth miss came back, the third lady has not had a good life, and even her own wife is like a frightened bird. If the wife is also rectified like the fifth lady, they don't have good fruits to eat, and it is uncertain whether they can stay in the mansion at that time.

Lixiang is sixteen years old this year, and her aunt followed Song Xiuzhu to bring a maid from her hometown, and later married into the Jin family. Before her aunt got married, she gave the eight-year-old pear fragrance to Song Xiuzhu. Lixiang's parents died, she is a typical Jiangsu and Zhejiang woman, born slender and white, with bright skin, and a pair of Danfeng eyes always with a little shyness.

She grew up beside Song Xiuzhu since she was a child, and when she heard her wife's sad words, she felt uncomfortable, and knelt down with a puff: "Madam, although the slave maid is not as capable as Sister Huixiang and Sister Lianxiang, she can still do errands." Tomorrow, the slave maid will go to the yard of the fifth lady every day to guard, and the fifth lady will tell you immediately if there is a disturbance. ”

Song Xiuzhu asked her to get up, took her hand again, and said with a wry smile: "You stupid child, if the fifth girl really wants to hide from others, how will she let you know." But if you really want to help me, there's one thing you can help. ”

On the table, the cigarette smoke in the jade incense burner is Song Xiuzhu's favorite salan incense. The pear fragrance is unknown, and the beautiful eyes like spring water are half-hanging, waiting for Song Xiuzhu to continue. Mrs. Zhang's heart moved, could it be that her wife also had this plan?

"Last time you wore an emerald shirt and came in from outside with a crystal cup, the crystal cup was filled with bright red cherries, red and green, very good-looking, but in response to a sentence, red cherries, green plantains, the third master is a scholar, he likes this kind of elegance the most, he has never eaten cherries, but he ate more than a dozen that day."

Lixiang was stunned, her beautiful face was bloodless, her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't speak for a while.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her and said, "You kid, this is stupidly happy, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. was thinking of your aunt's affection, this great blessing would not have been on your head." Don't hurry up and thank my wife. ”

Song Xiuzhu was still holding her hand, but felt that her fingertips were slightly cold, Song Xiuzhu smiled and patted the back of her hand, and said: "You are my person, you will not sneak around like the green sleeves, if the third master stays tonight, I will tell him, from tomorrow onwards you will go to Moliuzhai to serve, his girls there are all rough people, it is okay to sweep the yard and clean the house, how can the third master see other things." The books and paintings are all hairy, and they can only follow up and call, and with you in the future, there is finally someone who knows the cold and the hot. ”

Lixiang knelt down again and choked up: "Mrs. wants to give the slave a chance to come out, but the slave is too stupid, and I am afraid that I can't do it when I wait for the master." ”

Song Xiuzhu's face sank, and the silk handkerchief in her hand shook, and she dropped the pastel tea cup on the case to the ground, and with a snap, the pale yellow tea splashed on the ground.

Rika was so frightened that her body trembled, and she trembled: "The slave doesn't dare to disobey his wife's orders, but the slave has never had it, and she is very scared."

The corners of Song Xiuzhu's mouth overflowed with a hint of a smile, and she said to Mrs. Zhang: "Open my small warehouse, pick a few pieces of noodles for her, and from this month onwards, you Yinqiu and them will be according to the rules when I first entered the mansion." ”

When she first entered the house, You Yinqiu and the three of them still had a room.
