At this end, the Liao family pulled Mrs. Qi and said homely words. Mrs. Qi asked the maid to take out a brocade box and said, "Here are some pickles I made, bring them to Madame to taste." ”

Mrs. Qi's cooking skills are well-known in the circle of noble ladies, especially northern dishes such as pickles, which are even more authentic.

So Mrs. Qi took out such a box of pickles, and Liao happily accepted it.

After gossiping for a while, Mrs. Qi said, "I also prepared a pickle for Mrs. Hou Ye by the way, so I will go to the long room first, and come back later." ”

Liao Shi said again and again: "Okay, okay, Mrs. is busy first, let's talk when we get back." ”

Mrs. Qi took the maid's mother and left Anhuatang.

As soon as she went out, Mrs. Qi instructed Weaving: "You go to Miss Chusan's residence, follow Miss, don't let her run around, and I'll go directly to you when I come back." ”

The weaving painting was answered, and went to the Yurong Temple.

Mrs. Qi took Lu's mother to the long room.

When Chang heard that Mrs. Qi was visiting, he got up and went to the hall to greet him.

The two greeted each other and sat down.

Mrs. Qi still asked Mother Lu to take the brocade box out, and said, "This is a little bit of my heart, Madame take it back and taste it." ”

Chang had been in the capital when he was a child, and he was very fond of pickles in the north, so he thanked him and accepted it.

Mrs. Qi said again: "My sister Zhen has to come to play with the third girl, so I will send her over." I thought that I hadn't come to visit Madame for some time, so I came to sit with you. ”

Chang said: "Sister Zhen'er I look at her as a well-behaved person, and it is rare for her to fall in love with Sister Hui'er." Our two houses are not far away, and you will often bring her to play in the future, and the children will also have a companion. ”

Mrs. Qi also said: "Yes, Sister Zhen is always too lonely at home, and Brother Peng has to go to school every day, so she has no time to play with her." There are too few people in our house, and it is not as lively as the Hou Mansion, so I thought about when to find a daughter-in-law for Brother Peng, and Sister Zhen also has someone to accompany her, and the family is also lively. ”

Chang's eyebrows raised when he heard this, could it be that he belonged to Sister Hui again? He only said vaguely: "Well, the family is more lively." ”

Mrs. Qi looked at Chang's indifferent appearance, and continued: "Sister Zhen always said that it would be good if Sister Hui could be her sister-in-law. I also think that Sister Hui has a good temperament, so I want to ask Brother Peng to marry ......"

I didn't expect Sister Hui to be so loved, the Liao family and the Qi family were interested in her. However, Chang didn't dare to respond, and only said: "Sister Hui is still young, and her parents are gone, although I am the eldest aunt, I don't dare to be the master, and I will discuss with Hou Ye first when I go back." ”

Mrs. Qi didn't plan that Chang would respond in one bite, so she said: "Marriage matters should indeed be cautious, and Mrs. will discuss with Lord Hou first." ”

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and Mrs. Qi has not been sitting down for a long time, and she has said a few more gossips and left.

In Yurong's courtyard, Huiyu and Sister Zhen are taking a dice and throwing them for fun, and those who lose will learn to meow.

Sister Zhen was having fun, chattering vigorously, and she shook it hard, but she still couldn't throw a high point.

Hui Yu flicked her forehead and said, "I am willing to lose the bet, Sister Jane quickly learn to meow." ”

Qi Zhen reluctantly learned to call the cat.

When Mrs. Qi came in, she happened to see such a scene. Her daughter rarely shows her intimate and delicate demeanor in front of outsiders, but now she is very close to Huiyu, which shows her love for Huiyu. If you can marry Huiyu into the door, no matter whether you can borrow strength in your career or not, at least your sister-in-law will get along harmoniously.

Seeing Mrs. Qi standing at the gate of the courtyard, Emerald Lu hurriedly called, "Mrs. Qi is here." ”

Hui Yu stood up, walked over, and said, "Mrs. Qi, when did you arrive?" Come on in. ”

Mrs. Qi walked in and said, "That is, just arrived, is our sister Zhen too noisy?" Sister Hui has worked hard with her this afternoon. ”

Qi Zhen was unhappy and said, "I'm not making trouble, I'm obedient, isn't Sister Huiyu?" ”

Hui Yu smiled: "Sister Zhen is cute and straightforward, and we have a good time together. ”

Mrs. Qi nodded and said, "It's good that I didn't bother you." He looked around the yard again and said, "Your small yard is very clean, with trees, flowers and fish, and the movement is appropriate, exquisite." ”

Huiyu said modestly: "Madame praised it falsely, this courtyard was like this before Hui'er moved in, and Hui'er just borrowed light." ”

Qi Zhen interjected: "Mother, Sister Huiyu's goldfish is good, and I also said that she should teach her brother how to raise goldfish." ”

Hui Yu was embarrassed, this Qi Zhen would really sell herself, and hurriedly said: "I am just raising a blind beard, there is nothing special." ”

Mrs. Qi said, "Sister Hui'er, can you take me to see the goldfish?" ”

Of course, Hui Yu agreed, and took Mrs. Qi to see the big tank of goldfish.

Mrs. Qi nodded and said: "This fish is indeed well raised, all spirits, my brother Peng is good at everything, even if he raises small animals, he can't always raise small animals, and he loves to raise them, every time I see the small animals he raises, I feel pitiful." If there is a capable helper like Sister Hui'er, I guess those little animals will be blessed..."

How did Hui Yu think that Mrs. Qi's words were full of deep meaning? So he replied cautiously: "Hui'er people are clumsy, and most of these goldfish are taken care of by maids, so I really don't dare to take credit." Unwilling to talk further on this topic, Huiyu said, "Madame, do you want to sit in the house for a while?" ”

Mrs. Qi said: "No need, it's not early, we can't bother anymore, let's sit in your room another day." ”

Qi Zhen pouted and said, "I don't want to go back yet, mother, I haven't played enough with Sister Huiyu......"

Mrs. Qi scolded softly: "Sister Zhen'er, you have been bothering Sister Hui for an afternoon, are you embarrassed to trouble others again?" ”

Qi Zhen lowered her head and did not speak.

Hui Yu stepped forward and took her hand and comforted, "Wait a few days, I'm done with the exam, and then I'll give you a post?" It's time for autumn, and the garden is another scene, so let's enjoy the scenery and eat snacks at the same time. ”

Qi Zhen raised her head and said aggrievedly: "Okay, it's a word, don't forget Sister Huiyu." ”

So Mrs. Qi took Qi Zhen to say goodbye to Huiyu, and went to Anhuatang to say goodbye to the Liao family and return to Qi Mansion.

In the Liuli Pavilion, Dan Yu took this historical record to study, and the maid Ling'er walked in and said, "Girl, there is news from the Red Maple Courtyard and handed it to the girl." With that, he handed over a small envelope with both hands.

Danyu put down the book in his hand, turned around and picked up the letter, and after reading it, he asked Ling'er to order it and burn it.

Ling'er looked at Dan Yu with no expression on her face, and said, "The one from the Red Maple Courtyard also asked the slave maid to bring a word, it's time to prepare." ”

Danyu nodded and said, "I know." He added: "You did a good job, this bracelet is emerald green, which matches your complexion very well, you can take it with you." ”

After speaking, he removed the emerald green and transparent bracelet on his wrist and handed it to Ling'er.

Ling'er was overjoyed, but she pretended to shirk and said: "It is the duty of the slave to do things for the girl. Such a valuable bracelet slave and maid dare not take it. ”

Danyu took Ling'er's hand, stuffed the bracelet directly into her hand, and said, "Do things for me, you will be rewarded for doing well, this is my way of treating people." You deserve this bracelet. ”

Ling'er no longer shirked, took the bracelet, kowtowed fiercely, and said, "The girl has something to do in the future, just give orders, and the slave and maid must go all out." ”

Danyu hurriedly picked up Ling'er again and said, "What are you doing kowtowing well?" I don't know if I told you to do something that cost you your life. Be a good errand and you will be rewarded in the future. ”

Ling'er answered yes and withdrew.

Danyu looked at Ling'er's distant back, and sneered secretly, Chang's family, Chang's family, do you think that if you change the people around me, I will become a trapped beast? As everyone knows, money can make ghosts grind, and it is too easy for this person's heart to be bribed......

The Chu Dynasty did not stay for a few days and returned to the barracks, but Hui Yu still went to the Ningcai Courtyard in the afternoon to accompany the Dou family.

As soon as he entered the door of Ningcai Courtyard, Jin Hai, a maid beside Dou's side, hurriedly greeted him and said, "The third girl is here, go and see grandma." ”

Hui Yu exclaimed, "What's the matter? Won't it be a tire gas? ”

Jin Hai said while leading Hui Yu to Dou's house: "No, somehow in the morning grandma went to the garden to relax, I saw some maids looking at grandma wrong, and then on the way back, I heard a maid talking that Chunju looked like a boy, and grandma looked like a girl, and said something ugly. Grandma was so angry that she came back and cried......"

Hui Yu frowned when she heard this, she heard the two maids talking that day, and she wanted to remind the Dou family, but she didn't expect that before she could say it, this rumor spread everywhere, and it was not only in Ningcai Courtyard......

Thinking about it again, I don't know how much I want to be depressed because of Dou's temperament......

I couldn't help but be anxious, and grabbed the handkerchief in my hand.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered Dou's room, I saw Dou lying on the bed, his eyes were red, as if he had just cried.

Liu's mother stood next to her and held a bowl of porridge in her hand.

Huiyu sat straight to Dou's bed and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" But not feeling well? ”

Dou Shi took Hui Yu's hand and choked up: "Third sister, the people in this mansion are about to look down on me to the ground......

Hui Yu held Dou's hand and asked softly, "What the hell is going on?" Sister-in-law, don't cry first, you talk about it first. ”

Dou held back his tears and told Hui Yu how he heard people talking about the sex of the child he and Chunju conceived in the garden in the morning.

Hui Yu sighed secretly, this belly shape is not allowed for men and women, Dou is too concerned about Chunju's pregnancy, so he is so stimulated. comforted: "Sister-in-law, who can say for sure that this birth of a boy and a girl has not reached the last moment." Besides, even if Chunju gave birth to a boy, it would be a concubine, how could it be compared to the sister-in-law's belly. He added: "If the sister-in-law is angry with those subordinates who chew the root of their tongues, she should go and talk to the eldest aunt, and let the eldest aunt come forward to deal with these unruly ones, so that she can make an example of the chickens and monkeys." ”

Liu's mother also said: "The third girl is right, grandma should report to her wife if she has something, she is so aggrieved that she can't eat, but she doesn't mean those little goblins..."

Huiyu took the rice bowl from Liu's mother's hand, scooped a spoonful of gruel, and persuaded: "Yes, sister-in-law, taking care of your body is the most important thing." Quick, eat some food first, and when we are done, we will go to the eldest aunt and say. ”

Dou nodded and ate the porridge one bite at a time.
