When Jinyu brought tea into the room, Master Gao was reaching out to pick up a strand of messy hair on Hu's sideburns, and Hu's face had a happy smile that she had never seen before. Seeing Jinyu, Master Gao returned to his upright appearance, and Hu's face flushed. Jinyu served the tea in her hand in a regular manner: "Daddy, please drink tea!" Master Gao took the tea cup in her hand, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on his face, and he deliberately asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here?" Jinyu looked at her nose and nose, and said in a low voice: "My mother is unwell, and my daughter has no good way to share it for her mother, so she has to come over every day to decoct medicine for her mother, make tea, talk to her mother, and relieve boredom." I hope my mother recovers soon! A hint of relief flashed on Mr. Gao's face, and he said, "Very good, you are very sensible and filial!" What about Shen Rong and Shen Fang, why don't they see each other? Jinyu continued: "My sister seems to have a cold, and the high fever has not subsided in the past few days, so my mother told me not to come to Dingxing. Fang Mei's old illness was committed again, and her mother didn't let her go out. Master Gao let out an "oh" sound, and then said, "How did you get the wind chill?" It's too squeamish! As he spoke, he glanced at Jinyu, and saw that her waist was straight, her face was calm and generous, and she had a bit of the style of the Hu family back then, so she couldn't help but move and said, "Yu'er, you are not small." It's time to learn how to manage the council. Now your mother is sick, the family is the time to use people, tomorrow you will go to the Liu family to get the right card, just say what I said, to exercise your sisters' ability to run the house, your mother is unwell during this time, the size of the family, are in charge of you! If you don't understand, just ask me! Jinyu was stunned when she heard this, and then said: "Daddy, it's not that my daughter is lazy and refuses to learn to be in charge of the house, it's just that my daughter is still young, and she has to distinguish family affairs and manage housekeeping with those housekeepers, but I'm afraid that a thoughtless person will make people laugh and lose the face of her parents." Master Gao said: "It is precisely because of your young age that it is inevitable that you are not thoughtful. That's why you want to learn! Don't be afraid, I'm in all things! You can call the shots, just like your mother did on a daily basis! Well, I'll ask Liu to take it back. Come to my study early tomorrow morning and get it!" Jinyu couldn't, so she had to agree.

Master Gao sat down for a while, got up and left. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Yang's mother to take good care of his wife's daily life. That night, the kitchen even brought wolfberry black chicken soup and a big bowl of bird's nest soup, saying that it was an additional dish ordered by the master. In the faint yellow shadow, Mother Yang smiled happily, chanted Buddha vigorously in her mouth, and said happily to Hu: "Mrs., you have finally been able to keep the clouds open and see the moon!" The lord finally knows your hard work! Hu's face was still pale, but his spirit was much better than before. Wen Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's only been a few days since I let go, and that one can't hold on." Who knows if the lord is a whim? No matter what, it's a great opportunity to let Jinyu learn to be in charge! If you give me an account, you will do it the same as when I was there! If anyone is not careful, I will go back and settle accounts with him! Mother Yang nodded and said, "Mrs. Order, who dares to disrespect?" You put your heart in your stomach and take care of your body. This time, it's time to be in a hurry! Hu Shi leaned down lightly on the pillow and said, "The years are not forgiving, in the end, the age is up." It's okay to be sick this time, and after so many years, it's time to take a good breath. As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes.

Jinxin Courtyard, the lights have not been extinguished until the third watch. Liu sat by the window, combing her hair and removing her makeup by the red sleeves of the close-fitting maid. Looking at the face with some fine lines in the mirror, Liu couldn't help but be full of resentment: "I've been busy for so many days, and I haven't caught a good word!" He said that let the second girl be in charge, let the second girl be in charge! Isn't there still Shen Rong? Does he have our mother and daughter in his eyes? The red sleeves gently combed Aunt Liu's green silk and did not say a word. She knew Aunt Liu's temper. Although he cares a lot about the difference between his concubines and disdains the identity of his concubine, in front of his subordinates, he is full of the appearance of the master. In a situation like this, the smartest thing to do is to say nothing. Otherwise, it will anger Aunt Liu, and it is a trivial matter to be punished for kneeling and starving, and the most terrible thing is that it is very likely to be beaten by her and sold. There was a little girl who accidentally offended her before, and she was beaten. Aunt Liu's hair was long and smooth, and it looked like fine silk satin to the touch. The red sleeves combed carefully, for fear that one would accidentally break half a little. "Red sleeves, you said you saw the master go to Madame today?" Red Sleeves focused on the long hair in his hand and didn't hear Aunt Liu's question. "Little hoof, are you deaf? I'm asking you! The red sleeves were twisted by Aunt Liu's leg with all her strength, and she was so painful that she couldn't help but exclaim. But she quickly held back. hurriedly said: "If I go back to my aunt, I also vaguely saw the figure of the master in the East Cross Courtyard." Whether it is or not, the slave and maid are still uncertain. Aunt Liu sneered and said, "If you see it, you see it, what is not allowed!" Do a good job for me, and you will be indispensable for your benefits! Red Sleeves hurriedly bowed his head. Aunt Liu gathered her head full of green silk, satisfied with the smoothness of her hair, took out a sterling silver hairpin, handed it to the red sleeves, and said, "Take it, I'll reward you." Red Sleeves happily took it and thanked him again and again. Aunt Liu waved her hand and motioned for her to step back. Red Sleeves hurriedly bowed and retreated. As soon as she went out, Qingyun, who was standing on the side, hurriedly closed the door tightly, blew out the outermost lights and candles, and then entered the inner room. The red sleeves are Liu's personal maid on the surface, because she was rewarded by Mrs. Hu when Liu's entered the door, and Liu's has always taken her with her to show her gratitude to Hu's. Qinglian married the nephew of the Gao family's housekeeper, and then she was still by the Liu family's side. Qingyun was still young when he came out, and now he is only in his early twenties. Because the Liu family has always said that they have not found a suitable one, they have never let them out to marry. is now by Liu's side, and he can be regarded as Liu's intimate confidant. In the past few days, Shen Rong has been unwell, and Qinglian has been arranged by the Liu family to serve in Shen Rong's Lingzhi Garden. There is Qingyun left by Liu's side.

"Second lady, it's not early, let's rest early!" In private, Qingyun called the Liu family the second lady to calm her grievances as a concubine. Liu Shi sighed and said, "How can you let me sleep?" The master took away my master's pair of cards, and slapped me in the face openly. But Shen Rong's girl didn't let me worry. The Bai family is such a good person, how much did I grind my mouth with the master before I made the master agree, but she didn't like it! Qingyun gently slapped her shoulder and said, "The eldest lady is still young, where can I experience your hard work!" Besides, in terms of appearance and talent, the eldest lady was originally the first in our Gao Mansion, and she was indeed a little wronged by the Bai family. It's just that although the Zhang family is prominent, the second son is nostalgic for flowers, and I'm afraid he is also an amorous seed, and any woman who marries him will have an endless hardship. I am afraid that no one can see this more clearly than you, madam. After saying the last sentence, Qingyun panicked and quickly knelt down. Why is she so stupid to poke her master's sore spot all at once? Liu Shi didn't get angry as usual, but helped her up with a pleasant face: "Xiaoyun, there is no one else, I still treat you as a sister." What you said is right, no matter how well I do, I can't change the background of Qinglou. It was precisely because I saw through it that I chose to marry Gao Jingtang. There are so many princes and grandsons, when you can't get it, which one is not affectionate and spending? Got it, fresh for three or five days, which one is long-lasting? Although Gao Jingtang already has a wife, he looks at me differently. Everyone else saw my beauty, but he treated me as a human being, and his eyes were full of pity. So I decided to take a gamble, and I guarded him like a jade, and I would rather be beaten by the bustard's mother, and I would rather be locked up in the firewood room. The bustard's mother did this in the hope of selling me for a higher price. He did not fail me, ransomed me with a lot of money, and even took off my lowly status and accepted me as a good concubine. He has been very good to me for so many years. But why did he treat me so coldly for just a few days? I don't care about the house, but that's because my wife never let me interfere. Didn't he also say that he could not learn. He has this measure for Jinyu, why can't he let me learn it from scratch? And my Shen Rong is also about to get married, why doesn't he let her learn too? Does he want Shen Rong to be disliked by Aunt Weng in the future? Hu Shi did a really good job on the surface, Shen Rong wanted to learn the piano, she invited a famous pianist in the capital, Shen Rong wanted to learn poetry, and she hired Xixi. But Shen Rong is fifteen years old, and she doesn't know anything about needlework cooking! What kind of heart is she? Did she want to make people laugh at Shen Rong at the same time, and at the same time laugh at her for having a mother in the osmanthus building in the capital? Speaking of this, Liu's face was full of grief and indignation, and tears flowed even more. Qingyun hurriedly handed over the Jinpa and said with relief: "Second lady, you have thought too much. How many girls from big families want to learn the superb piano skills of the eldest lady and don't have that understanding. Our Gao family is not comparable to ordinary people. Needlework cooking, which is done by special needlework people and cooks. Only those who are small and small, pay attention to what needlework and cooking skills. In fact, it is just the meaning of hoping that the girl is ingenious. If you want to talk about ingenuity, it's not me who praises, how many can match the eldest lady? Even if we let the eldest lady learn now, with the eldest lady's cleverness and intelligence, it is not too late. The most important thing now is that you have to find a way to let the eldest lady also take care of the house with the second lady. In the future, the eldest lady will be the head of the family, and learning to manage the family and control the next person is the most important thing! After hearing this, Liu nodded, took Qingyun's hand and said, "Fortunately, you are an understanding and wake me up everywhere." Yes, it's useless to complain about the lord now, the key is to let Shen Rong also learn to manage affairs, don't know poetry and songs all day long, wind and snow! Tomorrow, you accompany me to the Lingzhi Garden! Qingyun nodded, and the two of them turned off the lights and fell asleep without mentioning it.

In Lingzhi Garden, the maids around Qinglian and Shen Rong were all kneeling in the courtyard, and the night wind hit, and some people couldn't help but shudder at the chill in the wind. Tonight was just too hard. First, the old man came over, and when he saw the young lady playing parrots under the porch, he was furious, and reprimanded her for being unfilial, lying, and not doing her job; Then Mama Yang, who was next to Mrs., came over and bumped into the red heart and the little maid of the second door to pass things, and the red heart and the blessing were locked up, waiting for the lord to drop tomorrow. Now the subordinates all over the courtyard have been punished to kneel in the courtyard and think about it, accused of instigating the master and disobeying the training. Shen Rong sat alone under the lamp and copied the female rings that Master Gao punished her to copy three hundred times. Accompanying her was Mother Zhao, who was personally appointed by Master Gao, who used to serve by the old lady's side, and came to Master Gao's side after the old lady died. Now Master Gao has transferred Zhao's mother to Shen Rong's side, with the intention of training Shen Rong well. Shen Rong couldn't figure out how her father, who had always been very fond of her, could suddenly become so stern and ruthless, and he didn't save face for himself at all. actually said in front of the girls in the room that she was restless and guarded to herself, her mother was sick, and she didn't know how to observe etiquette to visit. Now she is ashamed and angry, but staring at a mother Zhao by her side, she doesn't even have the freedom to cry alone.

She trembled and wrote several pages, and Mother Zhao said coldly beside her: "It's not early, please take a rest!" The old man explained, there should be a degree of eating and living at times. Shen Rong couldn't, so she had to put down her pen in anger and prepare to turn off the lights and go to bed. Mother Zhao personally handed over the toiletries on the side and said, "Let the old slave personally serve the young lady to freshen up!" Saying that, he helped her wash and change her clothes and served her to go to bed peacefully.
