After Mama Liu left, Sister Hui accompanied the old lady to talk, and by the way, she also reported to her what she had learned today. The old lady seemed to be quite satisfied, and rewarded her with a fine jade brooch, which was finely carved, and was two peonies in full bloom, and the surrounding area was carved into some small insects with colored stones, which was very cute.

"Thank you, grandmother."

"Grandmother, Sister Hui has recently received some rewards from her godmother, but she has never come to the mansion to thank you for a day, and I want to ask my grandmother to agree to go to Dingbei Hou's Mansion the day after tomorrow." Sister Hui took advantage of the fact that the old lady was looking at her now, and said by the way

The old lady groaned slightly, then nodded in response, and only said: "The etiquette should be like this, but you are still in the filial piety period now, and it is inconvenient to go out, so it is inevitable to collide, so let Mother Li also go with you." ”

Sister Hui has a very good impression of Li's mother, because it was this Li's mother who acted as the old lady's eyes before Yizhou returned to Beijing. Unexpectedly, this time it was her mother who was spying on her, so she saw that Mother Li was very trusted by the old lady.

When she returned to the leisurely residence from Shoukangtang in front, Wang's mother and Moqin had already prepared a cream for her to touch the wounds on her body. Mama Liu said that she was in charge of jewelry and clothes, but Sister Hui seriously suspected that this mama might have served in the Criminal Department back then, and the beating was never like an ordinary master's palm, but in addition to the face, she was ruthless.

"Alas, Mama Liu is really tormenting, and she is injured, the slave and maid watched the young lady grow up, how could I have seen the young lady suffer a little grievance, if the wife is still there" Mother Wang smeared Sister Hui with the three new whip marks added today, while chanting, when it came to the grievances, she choked up her voice.

Sister Hui'er also felt sad on her face, if her mother is there, if her mother is there, but her mother is no longer there

"Mom even said, at this time, Zhou's mother is still outside with ink calligraphy and ink paintings, if you let them hear this, it will be difficult to pass it on to the old lady." Sister Hui smiled.

Mo Qin said with a grim face: "Miss, my mother didn't look good that week, she was just lazy on weekdays, but yesterday she actually ate wine and told those people outside about everything in our yard, including you, where is the appearance of a housekeeper mother." ”

"Yo, our Moqin has grown up and knows how to take care of his mother." Sister Hui smiled

"Miss!" Mo Qin wrinkled his little face and stomped his feet twice

"What do you care about her, I don't cross the thunder pool in half a step now, the old lady who looks like her now will know sooner or later, no matter how I am the girl of this Hou Mansion, if there is a bad one, and I am tired of other sisters, the old lady will always take care of it, and you will offend people by giving people face." Sister Hui looked at Moqin's anxious appearance, so she said lightly while getting dressed.

Mo Qin lowered his head and thought deeply when he heard this.

"What Miss said is very true, but the slave maid recently looked at the ink book This girl is honest, and her temperament is a little similar to ink chess, and the ink painting knows that dressing up all day long is not useful." Mother Wang said again.

Sister Hui really didn't know what Shou Kangtang meant. Looking at it this way, Qiu Ju is used to serving by the old lady's side, and it must be the biggest monitor arranged by the old lady beside her, but she has thought about her several times, and even offended the old lady's favorite Sister Yan. And that week's mother was the old lady's housekeeper mother, but she was lazy and long-mouthed, not like she could be of great use.

Besides, the ink book and ink painting two girls are born neatly, especially the ink painting, even if she wears a girl's customized dress, she must spend some careful thought to get some tricks on it, but it is a little similar to the painting she liked to paint on the school uniform when she was studying.

The temperament is more lively, and she likes to gossip with the little maids, and occasionally Sister Hui is interested in it, and she chats with her.

Although Moshu doesn't look bad, he is an honest and duty-bound person, and he is diligent in his work, but his shortcomings have changed.

She also thought about it in private, they are all good seedlings, but these people are given by the old lady, she doesn't dare to give grace easily, otherwise the old lady will know, according to her suspicious nature, there will be an accident at that time.

"Let's look at it, but my mother helps me pay more attention to some Qiu Ju, I always feel a little strange when I look at her."

"Yes." Wang's mother answered.

At night, Sister Hui finished dinner, thinking that there was nothing to do, and it was spring, so she asked Mohua to find a bunch of zongzi leaves, smoked the tender yellow heart, asked Moqin to cook the tea she usually liked to drink, and then asked Moshu to move everything to the yard, just while blowing some evening breeze, while making up two gadgets for Brother Xuan to play.

She had just finished weaving a rabbit when she heard the sound of broken porcelain coming from the old lady's house in the main courtyard, followed by the old lady's angry roar: "I'm not dead yet, don't you think!" ”

Immediately followed by a man's low and flustered voice of apology, I couldn't hear it really, but I also knew that it was Chu Jinzhang, the marquis of this Hou Mansion.

"Miss, look," Mo Qin hesitated

"The slave maid heard that the young lady is going to Dingbei Hou's Mansion the day after tomorrow, why don't you make up a few for the two young masters over there to play." Qiu Ju said

She was indirectly reminding her to pretend not to know, Sister Hui took a sip of the tea from the ink book, and pondered in her heart.

She smiled at Qiu Ju: "You are right, there are still a lot of zongzi leaves, so I will make a butterfly for one of you, and the ink painting can also be tied around the waist to make an ornament." ”

The ink painting has always been stinky and beautiful, and he clapped his hands when he heard the words: "Miss has a wonderful idea, and the slave and maid thank Miss Xie for rewarding." ”

"Miss Xie." The rest of the people squatted down together and said.

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom. I'm afraid that the spring breeze really came to the capital last night, and all the pear blossoms in Anning Houfu bloomed overnight, but it was a very spring scene. It's just that the Shoukang Hall is very depressing in the early morning, and you can feel the winter cold in advance when you are in it.

"Tongyu County mainly holds a small banquet, although it is a gathering of a girl's family, and the county owner is also friendly, but you all have to carefully accept the duties of the daughter of the Hou Mansion, don't do something important." It was supposed to teach them a few girls, but it meant that they stared at Qiao's in words.

"Okay, you all go to the county lord's Yingchun Xuan."

"Yes." Sister Yan, Sister Lian, Sister Hui, and Sister Jing got up together and responded.

Out of the old lady's Shoukang Hall, Sister Yan and Sister Jing couldn't see anything on their faces, Sister Lian pulled Sister Hui and whispered, "What kind of gift did my sister prepare?" ”

"The old lady of my third sister and I prepared it early in the morning, why didn't the second sister prepare a gift empty-handed?" Today, for some reason, Sister Yan heard Sister Lian'er's words on the side, pulled Sister Hui over, and replied lightly.

Sister Lian'er was slightly embarrassed on her face, but fortunately she quickly reacted: "The eldest sister and the third sister are so blessed, I can't take out anything good, I just embroidered a handkerchief by myself, and I have the right to make a mind." ”

Sister Jing came out of the round: "The second sister's heart is rare, and the county lord will be happy." ”

Sister Yan turned her head and didn't say anything more.
