It is rare for people from the east and west to eat together, although people do not get together, but they can be regarded as happy.

Nie glanced at Song Xiuzhu, who was sitting at another table with the three aunts, and asked Mrs. Jin leisurely: "Sister Yuan hasn't come out for a while, anyway, the family is here today, so let Sister Yuan also come over to eat together, so as not to marry into her in-law's family in the future, and be said that she is not treated in her mother's house and can't raise her head." ”

Nie's voice has always been not small, although he didn't deliberately raise his pitch this time, Song Xiuzhu could hear it clearly at the next table.

She gritted her teeth with hatred, Nie was afraid that everyone would forget that there was a third young lady who was grounded, and she deliberately reminded her here.

Mrs. Jin snorted coldly and looked at Jin Min: "I'm an old woman, how can I have the ability to discipline my children for others, I can't come out of this, I still have to be a father." ”

With just a few words, I pushed this matter to Jin Min. The corners of Jin Min's mouth twitched a few times, and said, "Since it is a family banquet, then let someone send a few dishes over, don't let her come over, so as not to delay the copying of the scriptures." ”

Since this matter has been pushed to Jin Min, the third master of Jin San, who advertises that he governs the family strictly, cannot have the benevolence of a woman, and the Nie family mentioned Jin Yuan at this time, which deepened everyone's memory.

Song Xiuzhu responded to this meal as if she had swallowed a fly, and when she left Chunhui Hall, she saw Linglong and Linlang whispering something together, and Jin Yu was standing far away, and she didn't know how to listen to it.

The daughters born to Nie and Feng are all like human spirits, but the two daughters she gave birth to are so stupid, Song Xiuzhu calmed her face and asked Huixiang to call Jin Yu over.

Back at Bitong Courtyard, she asked Dongmei, the maid beside Jin Yu: "Where did the seventh miss and the fourth and fifth miss go today?" ”

Dongmei is fourteen or fifteen years old, and she used to be from Bitong Temple, and she only went to Wanghe Garden this month.

A while ago, Mrs. Jin grounded Jin Yuan, and disposed of a bunch of people in Wanghe Garden, even the eldest girl Mulan and Jin Yuan's nurse Mama Wang were also transferred to Zhuangzi, except for a few young maids in Wanghe Garden, everyone else was changed after the old lady came.

Dongmei snorted: "When the three young ladies came out of Chunhui Hall, there was a daughter-in-law waiting outside the door, and I heard the fourth miss say that it was the eldest lady's side, and then the fourth miss took the fifth miss to the garden to pick flowers, and the fifth miss and the daughter-in-law left. When the maid returned to Chunhui Hall, the fifth lady had already returned, and the maid didn't know anything else. ”

Song Xiuzhu frowned, called Jin Yu, who was teasing the lovesick bird under the corridor, in, and asked: "Then your fourth sister and fifth sister are talking together, why are you hiding far away, why don't you go over, I'm afraid they will eat you." ”

Jin Yubian flattened her mouth, she didn't know why her mother was angry when she spoke, she was a little aggrieved: "What they said was a dowry or something, and they said that they wouldn't let the children listen to it, so I could only go to the side, and then lean over, I don't know what to say again." ”

Song Xiuzhu sighed, picked up the pastel tea cup and took a sip, but when she heard a voice coming from the courtyard, she frowned, and said to the lotus fragrance beside her: "Go and see, who is so loud outside." ”

Hexiang went out and came back soon: "It's Mother Zhang who is training people, we have lost something in the yard, and we are interrogating one by one." ”

"Lost something? How don't I know? Song Xiuzhu asked.

"It's all gadgets, not worth a few dollars, Mother Zhang said that maybe it was a greedy little bargain in the yard who had never seen the world, it was not a big deal, and it didn't alarm you."

Song Xiuzhu was upset, she only felt that it was really a disaster, the incident that happened to the green sleeves had already made her angry, and today it made the Nie family nauseous, and there was such a thing in the yard again.

"You go and ask, what are the things that have been lost, if they are all worthless, forget it, the old lady is in the house, don't make a fuss about this little thing in our yard, let the old lady know, and think that I can't even control the people around me."

She has been in charge of the family in Xifu for many years, and occasionally there will be a slave whose hands and feet are not clean, but she did not steal into her Bitong Courtyard, it seems that the wall is really down and everyone pushes it, seeing that now their mother and daughter are not as powerful as before, and they actually stole from her.

But she really didn't dare to show it, she could imagine how Liu Yuer would stab a soft knife in front of the old lady if she knew about it.

I'm afraid that I will use this incident to replace the people in her yard.

Wanghe Garden has been changed, and it will be her turn to Bitong Courtyard next.

Hexiang went out and asked carefully, and came one by one: "There is a box of Biluochun, Mother Zhang said that the tea leaves are fine, but the box containing the tea is inlaid with ivory, which can be worth more than a dozen taels of silver; There is also a jade incense burner, which is the very small one, the one you usually light when you do needlework."

Before Hexiang's words were finished, Song Xiuzhu suddenly interrupted her: "You said that the jade incense burner was lost, and I saw that it was still on the Nanmu case yesterday." ”

"It's the one that is often put in the Nanmu case, and the maid saw it yesterday, but when I cleaned it up today, I found that it was gone."

Song Xiuzhuhuo stood up, her breathing was a little short, and she said to Hexiang: "You tell Mrs. Zhang, even if she digs three feet into the ground in this Bitong courtyard, she must find out the incense burner." ”

Hexiang promised to go out, and as soon as she walked to the door, Song Xiuzhu stopped her again: "Let people close the courtyard door first, and then find two sensible people to guard at the door, if someone comes, say I have a headache and have fallen asleep." ”

Hexiang and Mrs. Zhang said, Mrs. Zhang was also a little flustered, although she interrogated the maid in the yard before, but she really didn't take these objects to heart, both horizontal and vertical are not worth much silver, and Mrs. Jewels are not missing.

But seeing that Mrs. had such a big reaction, it seemed that there was some origin of this jade incense burner, she first asked people to guard the door, and then called all the big girls in the courtyard to come over, and told Mrs. what she had ordered.

Hui Xiang said: "The third master also has such a jade incense burner, I think it is a pair with his wife, so his wife will care about it like this." ”

This is also transparent, but the third master is the most fond wife, and if he has good things, he will be sent to Bitong Courtyard first, not to mention this small incense burner, even more valuable and paired objects, occasionally damaged, and I haven't seen my wife make such a big move.

But in any case, finding the jade incense burner at this time is the most important thing.

Mrs. Zhang took people to do it herself, and turned all the quilts and boxes of the maids and mothers-in-law upside down, but after tossing for an hour or two, she still didn't see the slightest shadow of the incense burner.

At a loss, someone shouted, "Found it, found it!" ”
