Shen Qingli looked at the women brought in by Bi Tao, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Maybe she was used to seeing the warbler Yanyan in the Yongding Marquis's mansion, and thought that the ancient women were all slender women with thin arms and legs, but the four women in front of her completely subverted her impression of ancient women.

The four of them saw Shen Qingli hurriedly bending his knees to say hello, the tall, short, fat and thin kneeling together, looking a little disobedient.

"Slaves and maidservants greet the young lady." The woman who spoke was obviously a leader, she looked to be forty or fifty years old, not tall and a little hunchbacked, her face was full of vicissitudes, her complexion was black and red, and there were many freckles on her face, but her hair was very shiny, and she held a silver hairpin obliquely between her temples, which seemed to be very energetic.

"Get up and speak." Shen Qingli smiled faintly at them, "Don't be restrained, what are your names?" ”

As she spoke, her eyes swept over their faces one by one, and one of the fat faces also had a silly smile, the woman looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, very tall, and very fat, her eyes were almost narrowed into a slit, giving people the feeling of a tiger's back, and the other three looked very weak in front of her.

This woman looks innocent, how can she comb herself?

The other two women were both women in their thirties, one of them had a red birthmark on his face, which took up most of his face, and his appearance was somewhat hideous, and the other was white and beautiful, and his face was calm.

"Although the slaves and maids are in the red dust, they have already seen through the red dust, and today in front of the young lady, their lives have been handed over to the young lady, as for the surname, naturally they have already forgotten it." The hunchbacked woman bowed respectfully, "Please also ask the young lady to give her name." ”

"Young lady, every time they go to a place, they don't use their original names." Bi Tao reminded in a whisper.

Shen Qingli pondered for a moment, and then decided to use the four words Qinqi, calligraphy and painting to name the four people according to their age, the oldest is called Qin Gu, the one with a birthmark on his face is called A Qi, the one with white skin and beautiful appearance is called A Shu, and the youngest is called A Hua.

The four of them curtsied again and thanked the young lady for her name.

Shen Qingli always felt that there was always a lack of someone's voice, and after asking, he found out that it was the beautiful Ah Shu who couldn't speak, but Aunt Qin said that she was not dumb, but that she had hurt her throat because of drugs in the early years.

It's a pity for a beauty.

Shen Qingli couldn't help but look at her more, this woman always had a joyless and sad expression on her face, like a beautiful statue, alas, it seems that they are all people with stories!

It wasn't until Bi Tao took the four of them down to wash and rest that Yu was led into the door by Tao Zhi, and explained the reason respectfully, seeing Shen Qing Li E's eyebrows frowning slightly, and hurriedly said a lot of good things, saying that she would strictly discipline Thrush in the future and let her behave in a proper manner.

Shen Qingli was relieved and promised to let her come back from Zhuangzi.

Only then did Yu leave with great gratitude.

The next day, Shen Qingli took the four of them to Yiqing Garden to greet the Su family, saying that they were all found from Jingzhou, after all, it was more convenient for people in their hometown to do things by their side.

As soon as Su Shi saw the appearance of these people, especially knowing that Ah Shu still couldn't speak, he frowned immediately, but he didn't say anything against it, just smiled wryly: "Since it's from your hometown, it's better to stay, and my mother naturally has no opinion." ”

Xia, who was sitting on the side, laughed: "Mother was originally worried about the lack of people in the yard of her younger siblings, and she also wanted to match her younger siblings with all the people. ”

Especially the one called Ah Qi, with such a big birthmark on his face, he looks ugly than a ghost, does he come out to scare people?

"Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, it's just that there are a few fresh faces, how can Erlang be scared?" Shen Qingli didn't look at her, and chuckled, "Is it true that my sister-in-law is scared when she sees a living person?" ”

"Hmph, of course I'm not scared when I see the living, it's just that brother and sister, you put such an ugly person by your side, and the people outside know about it, and they think that our Yongding Marquis Mansion can't afford to hire people! You have received so many rewards, and you don't know how to save face for Erlang, so you can find a few good-looking and punctual ones. Xia sneered incredulously, "My younger brother and sister won't subsidize all the money they saved to their parents' family, right?" I've heard that your mother's house is not as good as a year! Don't forget, that's the silver that the emperor rewarded Erlang. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Qinqi's calligraphy and painting invariably pursed the corners of his mouth, and the expression on his face was much more solemn.

"Look at what my sister-in-law said, Erlang and I are husband and wife, and his silver is my silver, as for who I give the silver to, it is a matter between me and Erlang, I don't know what my sister-in-law cares about?" Shen Qingli still smiled lightly, "Besides, even if I subsidize my mother's family, what then?" As long as Erlang has no opinion, what qualifications do others have to make irresponsible comments? ”

"It's not that Erlang has no opinion, it's just that he doesn't know if he's not at home." Xia Shi glanced at her, gritted his teeth and said, "If I remember correctly, when the mansion went to your Shen family to hire people, I brought a lot of dowry gifts, and I didn't see how many you brought back, didn't they all subsidize your mother's family?" ”

"Even if that's the case, does that have anything to do with my sister-in-law?" Shen Qingli looked at her incredulously.

"Enough, don't say it!" Su Shi glared at Xia Shi and said, "Why are you talking about these things?" As long as you have eyes, honesty and reliability, why do you want to be good-looking? ”

At this time, Mu Yao and Mu Lin lifted the curtain and walked in to say hello.

Xia glanced at Shen Qingli indignantly and stopped.

Mu Lin looked at the faces of several people, as if she remembered something, looked at Shen Qingli and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, did you promise to invite my fourth brother to dinner, I met the fourth brother on the road just now, and the fourth brother still asked about it!" ”

"The fourth brother went to Qingxin Garden just now, and when he saw that the second sister-in-law was not there, he came back and met the two of us, so he asked casually." Mu Yao added with a smile.

"Yes, the fourth brother said that he wanted to try our special snacks in Jingzhou, and I promised to make them for him." Shen Qingli nodded in response.

"The popularity of the younger brother and sister is really good, as soon as Erlang walks on the front legs, the back feet are so close to the fourth brother." Xia Shi teased, "It's just my younger brother and sister, I really wonder why the fourth brother never asked me for food." ”

"Sister-in-law has to ask the fourth brother about this, how do I know?" Shen Qingli replied lukewarmly, "It's probably because the sister-in-law is used to a dime on weekdays, so the fourth brother doesn't have that thought." ”

"Hmph, you are generous, you have received so many rewards, and it is not ashamed to divide so little." Xia Shi saw a dazzling stride pinned to her temples, shining brightly in front of her eyes, and she was angry.

"Shut up, y'all of you." Su Shi slapped the table angrily and reprimanded, "Xia, as the eldest sister-in-law, you are still talking so aggressively, and you are not afraid of people's jokes, hurry up and step back for me." ”

Mu Yao looked at Su Shi expressionlessly, and then looked at Shen Qingli, without squeaking.

Instead, Mu Lin smiled and played a round: "Mother, don't be angry, the eldest sister-in-law is joking with the second sister-in-law!" ”

At this time, the curtain was hurriedly lifted again, and Mama Xu walked in, saw a room of people, hesitated, walked in front of Su, and said in a low voice: "Madam, Da Lang, Da Lang was injured in the back street of the alley, and he was just sent back by Xia Shizi." ”

Her voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

"Take me there!" Su Shi stood up, his face sank, and he got up and walked out.

Xia Shi also chuckled in his heart, and followed him step by step.

Last night, she just blew the pillow wind with her own man, saying that her father-in-law had raised an outer room outside, and her mother-in-law dared not speak out, as the son of her in-laws, she had to help her mother-in-law get angry.

Could it be that he immediately came to the door?

It must be yes, he's resting today!

After thinking about it, he trotted towards Chunhui Pavilion.

The crowd also walked out.

Shen Qingli walked back with the qin, chess, calligraphy and paintings, and she didn't want to go over to see the things in Chunhui Pavilion at all.

Just walked to the edge of Bishui Lake, but saw a figure standing with his hands in his hands, facing the clear water of the lake, Xu heard the footsteps behind him, slowly turned around, and smiled at the person: "Second young lady, so coincidental?" ”

"Xia Shizi." Shen Qingli saw that it was Xia Yunchu, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

When Xia Yunchu saw the figures behind her, he gasped like a toothache, and frowned: "Second Young Lady, can you let them turn their backs?" ”

He's a perfectionist, and he can't afford anything bad in his eyes.

"You guys go back first!" It's too hurtful to let people turn their backs, right?

Qinqi, calligraphy and painting walked past the two without raising their eyelids.

"There's been a lot of going on in the house lately!" Xia Yunchu looked at her with a bright smile on his face, "Your father-in-law just raised an outer room, yesterday it was your aunt who went to make trouble, and today it was your eldest young master who went to make trouble, it was really lively." ”

When Shen Qingli heard this, he immediately understood, raised his eyes to look at his harmless smiling face, and said helplessly: "If Xia Shizi is fine, then I will leave first!" ”

I see!

The matter of the father-in-law's outer room, with this person here to add fuel to the fire, it seems that he can't hide it!

Thinking that there were Mu Yunting's eyeliner everywhere in this mansion, Shen Qingli couldn't help but speed up his pace, if that man knew that she was talking to Xia Yunchu alone, he might not know how to punish her!

"Second young lady, don't get me wrong, I'm not the slightest interested in the affairs of the house." Xia Yunchu looked at her back and suddenly said, "Actually, the reason why I did this is just to take the opportunity to come to the mansion and meet the second young lady!" ”

Shen Qingli pretended not to hear it and ran back to Qingxin Garden.

What the hell is this man talking about?

She must have heard it wrong!

As soon as I entered Qingxin Garden, I saw Taozhi happily greeted me and said, "Young lady, there's a letter from Jingzhou!" ”R1152
