After tossing for a day and a night, the funeral of Mrs. Zhao finally came to an end, and after the Zhao family who returned from the funeral came out of Yining Hall, except for a few main owners who went to the front hall, the rest of the people went back to the courtyard and rested.

It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, it is true, the second lady who did not close her eyes for a day and a night was in good spirits, and returned to the Furong Hall in the West Courtyard, only lying on the Luohan couch in the outer room, closing her eyes and meditating.

The ancestor has not recovered from his illness, Fang Fei is missing, and now Grandma Song is 'seriously ill', and no one in the family has married any of the children of the 'Rong' generation.

Now, she is the only one who can be in charge of this family.

The second lady was confident, calmly waiting for the ancestor to send someone to the west courtyard, inviting herself over, and when she fell asleep later, she didn't know it.

"What time is it?" The second lady propped herself up and looked at the lantern hanging high outside.

"Back to Madame's words, it's a moment in time." Lu Chun, the eldest girl in the second lady's courtyard, stepped forward and replied, "The lord sent someone back in the afternoon, saying that there have been a lot of things in the yamen recently, so he won't come back to live, and let the lady take care of some housework." ”

Treat? She wanted to take care of it, but the problem was that the ancestor asked her to take care of it!

The second lady exhaled a sullen breath, raised her eyes to stare at Lu Chun, and said unhappily: "Let me ask you, has anyone been here from the ancestor's side?" ”

"No ......," Lu Chun replied in a low voice, and after speaking, he hung his head timidly, not daring to look at the second lady's suddenly gloomy face.

On a July night, it was so hot that the second lady slid down and collapsed, shaking a fan and walking back and forth in the house several times.

"Ma'am? Would you like dinner? Midoriharu asked cautiously.

"Let's arrange it." Only then did the second lady stop, and then shouted to Mother Lu, the housekeeper of Furong Hall, to come in, and instructed: "You go to the East Courtyard to inquire, what does the ancestor mean, and who is in charge of the accounts in the family now." ”

When the second lady finished dinner, and Lu's mother also came back from the east courtyard, the second lady threw away the bowl, couldn't wait to stand up, and asked, "How is it?" Have you heard any news? ”

The second lady's family is a merchant, and her background and upbringing are naturally not as good as Grandma Song, who came from a scholarly family, so she deliberately requires the subordinates of the West Courtyard to be courteous and thoughtful, whether in front of or behind people.

Mother Lu stepped forward and blessed her body, and said, "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, I have inquired clearly, and now the second girl in the house is in charge of the accounts." ”

"Second girl?" The second lady was stunned, how could it be her!

The second girl's name is Zhao Huirong, and her biological mother is the fifth aunt of Dafang, Zhu.

Back then, the ancestor gave the eldest master four concubines in one go, the second aunt Qian, the third aunt Li, and the fourth aunt Zhou all had sons, but the fifth aunt only gave birth to a daughter, so she put all her focus on her daughter, among the concubines of the Zhao family, Zhao Huirong's talent has always been top-notch.

"Second girl?" The second lady repeated it again, and sneered, "How could it be her?" ”

How can there be a girl who has not yet married to run a family? This is not in love at all, it doesn't make sense, and the daughter can't be born, let alone the second girl or the concubine!

The second lady seemed to have a knot in her mind, and she couldn't figure it out.

"Mrs. Hui's words, it is indeed the second girl." Mother Lu blessed her body again and explained: "I heard that the eldest aunt and grandmother went to the ancestors to protect her, saying that the second girl has reached the age of discussing relatives, so she will take this opportunity to let her learn some housework skills, and she will not need to learn now when she comes to her husband's house in the future." ”

There was a loud bang, and the maid in the house was frightened.

The second lady slammed her fists on the table, snorted angrily, got up and paced back and forth in the room, and said dissatisfiedly: "The water spilled by the married daughter, why should she get involved in the housework of her mother's family?" ”

After two more turns, the second lady suddenly stopped her steps and said coldly: "Let's go, follow me to Tonghua Courtyard to find my sister-in-law to reason." ”

At this time, on the side of Tonghua Courtyard, Zhao Wanrong had just fed Grandma Song to drink the soothing soup, and just put down the empty bowl, the mother-in-law at the door came in to tell her, saying that the second lady of the West Courtyard came to visit Grandma Song.

"Please let her in." Zhao Wanrong said lightly, "Mother, you go to the bed and lie down, and I'll deal with her." ”

After speaking, the mother and daughter glanced at each other, Grandma Song nodded, and with the support of her daughter, she went back to the bedroom, and lay down with her clothes together.

After putting down the tent and hanging down the curtains, as soon as Zhao Wanrong sat down, the second lady came in with a team of maids and women.

"Second aunt!" Zhao Wanrong got up and walked up quickly, shouted affectionately, and greeted with a smile: "Second aunt, come in and sit, I was thinking about taking the time to go to the second aunt's door, but coincidentally, the second aunt came over first." ”

"Auntie and grandmother have a heart." The second lady smiled without smiling, and from time to time swept the wind into the inner room, and through the heavy curtains, she couldn't see anything, so she asked, "Wanrong, why don't you see your mother?" I heard that my sister-in-law is very sick, so I came over to take a look, and take me to see your mother. ”

You're not sick, your whole family is sick!

Zhao Wanrong scolded secretly in her heart, but with a gentle smile on her face, and a little sadness, she said lightly: "Second Aunt Lao is worried, my mother is fine, but she has been busy with her grandfather's funeral in recent days and is tired. ”

Since the second lady was sick and bedridden, she was indeed tired of Grandma Song, she had to keep a wake at night, and she had to go out to receive female guests who came to mourn during the day.

The second lady smiled, squinted at Zhao Wanrong, and said with a straight face: "As the eldest daughter-in-law, sister-in-law should be tired, and it is good to rest for a while." ”

"The second aunt is right." Zhao Wanrong also smiled and agreed, "It is indeed due, isn't the second aunt also dragging her sick and crooked body, and still holding on to send her grandfather out of the funeral, it is rare for the second aunt to be filial, when I went to Yining Hall to ask for peace, the ancestor also mentioned this matter, and said that I have to let the second aunt rest for a while." ”

After speaking, I saw that the second lady's eyebrows jumped twice, and she secretly thought that it was really this little girl's ghost!

"My aunt and grandmother are really good at dancing with long sleeves." The second lady was so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched, and it was not easy to attack, so she said coldly: "I'll go to see my sister-in-law, my aunt and grandmother are so filial, but I have to talk to my sister-in-law." ”

After speaking, the second lady flicked her long sleeves and went straight to the inner room.

"Second aunt, I can't help it!" Zhao Wanrong hurriedly stepped over, grabbed the second lady's hand that wanted to lift the curtain, and hurriedly explained: "Second aunt, the doctor said in the morning, my mother can't see the wind, if she catches a cold in the wind, it will be life-threatening, and please take care of my mother's body, and when my mother's body is well, it's not too late to come over and chat." ”

"In that case, then I'll come to visit my sister-in-law in a few days." The second lady snorted heavily, glared at Zhao Wanrong again, and then vigorously pulled out the sleeve that she was pulling in her hand, and at the end, dropped a sentence: "Sister-in-law has to take care of her body, the family has just held a funeral, but she can't afford to toss again." ”

After speaking, he left with the maid and the maid like a gust of wind.

It wasn't until there was no movement in the house that Grandma Song lifted the curtains, probed out of the inner room, stared at her children with a pair of eyes, and said with concern: "She didn't treat you well, did she?" ”

Zhao Wanrong smiled and said softly: "It's okay, she doesn't dare to do anything to me, mother, let's go in and talk." ”

Grandma Song nodded, and the mother and daughter went into the inner room to talk together.
