Crimson, emerald green, and others all stood to the side, and Shi'er, Qin'er, and others withdrew from the hall.

Hui Yu also hurriedly stood up, welcomed Chang in, sat on the main seat, and sat down in a left-hand position.

After Chang Shi took a sip of tea, Hui Yu asked, "Is it urgent for the eldest aunt to come here so late?" ”

Chang didn't say that polite word, and said directly: "The people from your grandfather's Dingguo Mansion will enter the mansion tomorrow, and according to the person who reported the news, your fourth uncle and third cousin have all come." I discussed with Hou Ye, although the fourth room is the in-laws of the in-laws, but your father and mother are gone, and there is no one to greet the fourth room, so I let them live in the long room. Several of our houses are connected together, and it is cheap to see each other. ”

Huiyu got up and blessed Chang's family after hearing this, and said, "The eldest aunt thinks so much about Hui'er, and Hui'er is really grateful. ”

Chang Shi hurriedly helped Hui Yu up and said, "Look at you, kid, what kind words do you have to say to your aunt." Since it is your foreign family, that is, our relatives of the Chu family, if I, the sect wife, are not well entertained, won't people see the jokes of the Chu family. ”

After the two of them sat down, Chang said again: "Your mother has never returned to the capital since she married into our Chu family. Now that he is gone at a young age, his fourth uncle must be very sad to think of it, and he can't help but cry when he sees him. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Hui Yu with her head lowered and a sad look on her face, and continued: "Poor son, if it weren't for your mother's funeral this time, I don't know when I would be able to meet your foreign family. ”

"From the capital to the northwest, it is a distance of thousands of miles, and it is not easy to come and go. Your uncle doesn't know how many days you can stay in the northwest, and you don't have to go to Mingsheng Pavilion these days, so you can talk to your uncle more. The servant women in this family deal with it, handle the housework, and it will be a long time in the future, and then our aunt and nephew will discuss it in the long run. ”

This is to remind myself, although the foreign family is a blood line, but after all, it is thousands of miles away, and the reunion is only a few days, and the Chu clan is still close to the people. Huiyu scolded and responded obediently: "Hui'er will definitely accompany her uncle more, but it is the first time Hui'er has seen her uncle, and she can't help but feel a little apprehensive." ”

Chang Shi saw Huiyu's timid appearance, and said with satisfaction: "That's your own uncle, and I won't embarrass you." If you really don't know what to say, just ask him and answer you. ”

Hui Yu responded to the yes.

Chang was happy to see Hui Yu's obedient and obedient appearance, and then knocked on Caiyun again: "The girl is young and has just recovered from her illness, so be careful not to let the girl talk too much and get tired." ”

Caiyun had an alarm bell in her heart, knowing that Chang had ordered her to watch Huiyu and not let her talk nonsense. Again and again.

After achieving the goal, Chang didn't sit long, took the maid and left in a hurry.

Huiyu sent Chang away, and ordered the emerald green crimson to go out to do things, leaving Caiyun alone to speak.

Chang's words just now made Caiyun pay more attention, how could he not hear it, it seems that just a show of weakness is not enough. You have to take the initiative to do something to make Chang dispel his suspicions.

Hui Yu thought about it, and said to Caiyun with a smile: "I still have something to bother you. Two days ago, the needlework man brought Rong Ji cloth Zhuang to let me choose the cloth head, I saw that there were two cloud brocade papers, dignified and elegant, especially suitable for the eldest aunt, so I bought some, thinking about making some clothes for the eldest aunt. ”

"But I don't have the size of the eldest aunt in my hand, and I don't want to bother to go to the sewing room of the long house, so I think that since you have done some needlework for the eldest aunt, you must remember the size of the eldest aunt."

"I don't have any attainments in female popularity, but I can't show my gratitude to my aunt by pretending to others. If Caiyun can point out from the side, first, you can also know the preferences of the eldest aunt, and secondly, you will not be far from ten when you live here. ”

Since it was Huiyu's face appreciation, it was still Chang's clothes, Caiyun naturally couldn't shirk it, so he said: "It is the slave's job to do needlework for the masters, and the girl does not dislike it, and the slave and maid do their best to do what the girl commands." It's just that the slave maid is not a needlework person after all, and the girl still has to ask the lady in the sewing room to help take care of one or two. ”

Hui Yu saw that Caiyun was neither humble nor arrogant, and responded generously, but she was not arrogant, and she took over all the work in one bite, and she couldn't help but look up to her a few points, but it was a pity that she was not a friend or foe, otherwise she could really be entrusted with a heavy task. So I discussed with Caiyun how many clothes to make for Chang's, what styles to do, and what colors to embroider. The discussion lasted until dinnertime.

Hui Yu expressed both sincerity and enthusiasm, and Caiyun couldn't help but have some thoughts in her heart. I only think that the three girls are clear and transparent people, and they have a deep admiration for the Chang family, and I wonder why the Chang family wants to keep an eye on the three girls. However, how can a slave guess the meaning of the master, only by doing the work assigned by the master, the slave can be somewhat decent, as for the ins and outs of these jobs, the slave does not need to know, nor can he know.

Chang returned to Hongfeng Courtyard and had a simple meal, but he was still uneasy, so he called Shi's mother in.

First of all, I asked how the courtyard of the people who came from the Dingguo Mansion was cleaned up, and whether the kitchen was notified to clean up more meals tomorrow.

Mother Shi told the truth about the situation.

Chang is still relieved of Shi's mother's ability to do things, that is, to symbolically ask a few words.

Shi's mother also saw that Chang's was a little absent-minded, and she didn't take the initiative to speak, so she waited for Chang's to give her a job.

Sure enough, Chang said: "Although Caiyun was given to Sister Hui, she has served me for many years, and she has done her best." I heard that her old son and mother are all on an errand in our long room, and you took the time to go to the account room to pay thirty taels of silver, and go to see her family, so I said that I meant, because she served well in the long room and the fourth room, and rewarded her family. ”

Mother Shi hurriedly responded.

In the Frost Leaf Pavilion, Aunt Yuan finished dinner and was drinking tea to eliminate food.

Jade hurriedly walked in and whispered: "Auntie, the news from the Baihua Courtyard says that the people from the Dingguo Mansion will come to the mansion tomorrow." ”

Aunt Yuan's expression moved, and she asked, "Do you know who is here?" Where to settle down? ”

Jade reported one by one: "It's the fourth uncle and the third young master who came, and they settled in the long room." ”

Aunt Yuan had heard the Duan family talk about the personnel of the Dingguo Mansion earlier, and knew that the fourth uncle here was the brother of the Duan family, and the third cousin young master was the sister-in-law of the Anguo Mansion.

Putting aside the cousin young master who is separated from the room, the fourth uncle and his wife are compatriots, if they knew that their wife died unexpectedly, they would definitely not stop there.

But what can be done to let the fourth uncle know that the cause of his wife's death is him? Not to mention the identity of his aunt, it is impossible to see the fourth uncle, and now that the long house is suspicious, he will not let himself take advantage of it. Besides, the fourth uncle was also arranged to live in a long house, and he couldn't break in.

It seems that you can only start from Baihuayuan.

Aunt Yuan thought about it for a while, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, sealed it with rouge, and handed it to Jade: "Tomorrow at breakfast, you still use the old method to hand over this letter to the one in Baihuayuan, don't watch her finish reading and destroying it." ”

Jade answered yes and carefully put the letter away.

After Jade withdrew, Aunt Yuan looked up at the night sky and thought silently in her heart, Madam, whether your grievances can be revealed is in this move...... May your heavenly spirit bless the slave's plan to carry out smoothly.
