Seeing that the New Year is coming, but my uncle is not there, and my uncle's younger brother is not there, leaving my own young lady and the little young lady who has just been born at home, and the wedding maids and companions from the Gao family are quite unfair to their own young lady.

The little lady of the Du family waited for her great-grandfather to give her name, and her uncle first gave her daughter a nickname A Yao, before she spoke, everyone shouted happily, but who knew that her uncle's younger brother would give it to her, and I don't know what he said to my uncle, so my uncle changed his words and asked his daughter to read it, and he didn't discuss it with Miss, so he changed it directly!

Grandma Du's nurse Liu was annoyed when she thought of it, and her aunt didn't take Miss seriously! When she went out, it was like she was lost, and she didn't say that she couldn't come back to eat, and every day she looked at the girl who was full of expectations but disappointed, and Grandma Liu felt distressed.

"Mother? Are you there? It's dark, and you don't light the lights, what are you doing sitting in the house in the dark?" The woman walked into the house with an oil lamp.

"Where have you been?" Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter who was as delicate as flowers and bones in the faint light, Liu Tao looked delicate, and her eyes were looking forward to the delicate state of a small jasper, and she was wearing a green rose pattern bright satin pinched tooth jacket rewarded by Grandma Du, a bean green dark peach pattern jacket skirt, and a single rose red gold hairpin was inserted on the hanging hairpin, which was beautiful and beautiful, but the golden hairpin was very bleak.

Grandma Liu raised her hand distressedly and took down the hairpin, which she followed the young lady to the Du family, and the old lady of the Gao family rewarded her. Liu Tao snatched the hairpin back unhappily, "Mother, what are you doing?"

She was reluctant to wear these hairpins, but she asked her daughter to turn them out and wear them. Liu Tao saw that her mother was reluctant, and pouted unhappily and complained, "It's the New Year, the eldest lady has nothing to reward, I see that these rose hairpins in your cabinet are very beautiful, so I took them out and used them." ”

Grandma Liu took the hairpin in her daughter's hand, "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you, what are you anxious about." What about your father and your brother?"

"Dad and brother are going to do New Year's goods! Mother! The eldest lady is in charge, why is our family getting worse and worse?" Liu Tao complained.

Granny Liu patted her daughter's hand. Stood up and walked to the window to look outside, the east side of his small courtyard was a wedge garden, and there were three ear rooms in the west wing, and the lights were on in the ear room. Two figures could be faintly seen busy inside.

Du Da Shao's grandmother's companion room has a total of six rooms, two rooms stay in Beijing, respectively look at her dowry Zhuangzi and shop, four rooms followed down to Guangling, when Du Yunqi's brothers went to Beijing, they sent off a lot of people, the back of Du's house was originally an empty land, after the Du family bought the house, Du saw that there was no group room for the servants who had a family, and asked Du Yunqi to do so. So he bought the vacant land, built a large courtyard, and built terraced houses in the large courtyard for servants with their families to live in, and there were a few empty houses. Left for the servant of the guest to live.

Granny Liu, as the nurse of Grandma Du, is not comparable to ordinary people, even the grandmother of the young master Fang is not as good as her, why? Because Granny Fang went home and raised it! Now in the courtyard of the eldest young master, in addition to the master, Grandma Liu is the biggest!

Didn't you see that her family is only four people, but she occupies a small courtyard? In the compound, the courtyard where Mr. Du lives is better than his house. In the compound, the subordinates of the Du family muttered behind their backs. But who makes it necessary for people to be the head of the house? The young grandmother also understood her nurse, and specially dialed two little maids and a cook to help the Liu family do things!

Someone came over from the ear room in the west wing, and a woman in her early forties led the little maid to come in with a food box, and the three of them were sent by Grandma Du to wait for her own nurse.

The woman's surname is Xu, and she was originally an errand boy for Du Yunqi's mother, Zhuangzi, because her husband died. The in-laws entrusted someone to stuff her mother and daughter to Guangling, if it was in the past, it was arranged by Mr. Du for her mother-in-law's errands, but now that there is a housemother in the inner house, it will naturally be assigned by Grandma Du.

Grandma Du didn't say anything yet. However, after Grandma Liu saw the two daughters of the Xu family, she was jealous, the two girls of the Xu family were born neater than her daughters! The work is still neat, and it must be arranged by the master in the house, and if it is not enough, it will be looked at by the eldest young master, so he asked the eldest and the young grandmother Du to beg someone to come to her house and help her take care of the house.

Xu is an honest man, as long as he has a job to do and can have an income, is it not waiting there? Her skills are not very good, but when she returns home on an errand, she has hot food to eat, and the house is cleaned up, who in the compound is not envious!

The corners of Grandma Liu's mouth were slightly upturned and she watched them bring the vegetables and meat in the food box to the table, there are no vegetables at this time, just fried bean sprouts and vegetables, a plate of braised pork, oily, slippery, red and fragrant, hooking people's index fingers.

The three of Xu's mother and daughter set up the dishes and rice, and then said goodbye and went home, Liu Tao looked at the meat on the table and swallowed his saliva, and looked outside, "Dad, why haven't they come back?"

"Let's eat first! Set aside the vegetables and meat. Grandma Liu asked her daughter to bring a big bowl, dialed some vegetables and meat, and then put the big bowl full of vegetables and meat into the food box, and then sat down, and someone knocked on the door.

Liu Tao raised her mouth unhappily, and Grandma Liu stretched out her finger and poked her forehead, "What the hell do you look like, why don't you answer the door quickly?"

Liu Tao stretched out her hand and grabbed a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth, but she was so hot that she jumped to her feet, and she was still knocking on the door outside.

Welcoming Aunt Su, who was also in the room, Aunt Su smiled and hugged her little grandson into the door, "You asked me about it last time, there is news, I am afraid that you are in a hurry, so I will come over and tell you." ”

When Grandma Liu saw that Aunt Su, who was accustomed to eating and drinking, came at this time, her face pulled down, but when she said this, she thought of the last time she asked her to help show her daughter-in-law, so she quickly pulled out her laugh lines and invited her into the house to sit.

As soon as Aunt Su entered the door, she saw the meat on the table, her eyes lit up immediately, like a person who had been hungry for a few days, she rushed to the table and stretched out her hand to probe, and grabbed two pieces of the largest braised pork, one was stuffed into her grandson's mouth, and one was sent to her own mouth, the little baby was so hot that she cried, spit out the meat in her mouth, kicked her feet in her grandmother's arms, and pushed her small fist on Aunt Su's back, Aunt Su was in pain, and threw her grandson to Grandma Liu, although the braised pork in her mouth was hot, she swallowed it hard, He also put the piece that his grandson spit out into his mouth.

Seeing that Grandma Liu's mother and daughter looked sluggish, the little grandson of the Su family changed to a different person, and even kicked and kicked indiscriminately, and his little hands were still pulling around, tearing apart Grandma Liu's neatly combed bun, and grabbing the red gold cloud hairpin on the bun to play with in his hand.

Aunt Su swallowed two pieces of braised pork in a row, felt that her mouth was a little dry, grabbed the tea pot on the table and poured it into her mouth, seeing that the mother and daughter of the Liu family were still staying. As soon as he hugged his grandson, he picked up his grandson, smelled a familiar smell, had to play in his hand, and the little baby was quiet. Aunt Su's eyes flashed slightly, pulled Granny Liu to sit, and quietly bit her ear, Grandma Liu heard that her son's marriage was settled, she smiled happily, and thanked Aunt Su.

Aunt Su didn't work in the house, but her son, daughter-in-law and husband all worked in the house, especially her daughter-in-law did a good embroidery job.

Mrs. Liu is a little girl in the needlework room. I wanted to ask my son to be my daughter-in-law, so I asked Aunt Su's daughter-in-law to help her find out, which was the son of the Du family, and Grandma Du was also happy to see it.

As he spoke, he talked about the beginning of spring. The people in the house want to do new clothes, Liu Tao is not interested in her brother's marriage, but making new clothes is much more interesting.

After listening to her ask a few words, Aunt Su smiled and pointed to the clothes on her body and said, "Tao'er, you are in a hurry!" The eldest lady is rewarded enough, and you can't wear it out! Look at this set on you, there are no dozens of taels that can't be done, right?" Liu Tao's face sank when she heard this, if she could have her own new clothes. Who wants the eldest lady not to want it?

Grandma Liu smiled and didn't answer, and directly staggered the topic, "It's going to be the New Year, your daughter-in-law and children are all busy, right?"

"Oh, I said old girl! You have to remind the eldest young grandmother when you go back, the people waiting in the second young master's courtyard haven't made their new winter clothes yet! ”

"What's going on?" Granny Liu asked. Aunt Su saw that there was no surprise on her face, and she thought about it, and said with a smile: "Although the second young master is recuperating outside the mansion, after all, he is the main master of the mansion, and the eldest young grandmother is the eldest sister-in-law. The little uncle is not at home, and the people in his courtyard are short of this and that, and it hurts the face of our young grandmother! ”

Grandma Liu was shocked, her hand shook, and the chopsticks in her hand fell off and touched the plate, making a crisp sound.

Liu Tao said coldly beside him: "This family is run by the eldest young grandmother, who dares to spread it?"

Aunt Su laughed twice and chatted with their mother and daughter before getting up and going back.

Not to mention that Grandma Liu's mother and daughter were distressed when they looked at the bowl with only two pieces of braised pork left, but said that Aunt Su left the Liu family's courtyard and sent her grandson home, so she went to Manager Du's house, and talked to Manager Du's wife for a while before going home.

That night, Mr. Du went home, and his wife relayed what Mrs. Su said to her husband, and Mr. Du shook his head after listening, "Let's not get involved, how long has it been since the young grandmother entered the door, and she jumped up and down as a nurse, do you really think that her master is in charge of this house?" Is. You go to Grandma Fang's house tomorrow and ask her to tell Grandma Fang that the second young master lives in the Fan family, and they think that there is no master and no need to do things? They don't have winter clothes, and the kitchen is always missing food from the people in the second young master's courtyard, so can't the second young master come back and stand out for them?"

"You...... Is this going to make Mama Fang and them quarrel?"

"The young grandmother may not have that heart, deliberately shortening them, the new mother-in-law who is in charge of the kitchen, and the lady Liu, otherwise it will not be her turn to take care of the kitchen."

Chief Butler Du thought about it and asked her husband puzzledly: "Didn't you say that the eldest and youngest grandmothers were raised by the ancestors of the Gao family, how could she condone the people below to obey the yang and the yin?" Still bullied the little uncle? What kind of fools are these?

When Mr. Du was in Beijing, he also heard people talk about the ancestors of the Gao family, and said to his wife: "The ancestor of the Gao family is old, and it is right for the young grandmother to follow her, but the Gao family is not the ancestor in charge, this one is favored, when she gets married, her ancestor has paid a lot of private houses to marry, and her grandmother and aunts will be happy?"

The ancestor is not at home, she can't teach her to be a housekeeper, and her grandmother and aunts won't teach her.

"Seeing that she couldn't even accept people at the beginning, or her sister-in-law came to help!" The housewife is not capable enough, and he, the head of the house, is so tired that he will turn over!

Chief Butler Du felt sorry for her husband, so she secretly thought that she still had to talk to Grandma Fang and let her mention it to the eldest young master, otherwise if the Liu family continued like this, the eldest young master and the second young master's brothers would definitely have a share.
