At this moment, Mrs. Lu's Fushou is in the house, and the eldest lady He is serving Mrs. Lu with tea.

Mrs. Lu sat on the mahogany open light arhat collapse, holding a walnut pine nut tea in her hand, slowly swallowed, and nodded slightly before half-ringing: "Well, your tea-making skills have become more and more advanced recently." ”

He is now Mrs. Lu's favorite daughter-in-law, and usually the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is peaceful, and Mrs. Lu will discuss with her if she has something to do, and let her help with ideas.

He smiled slightly, raised his arm and took a piece of lotus cake from the food box on the carved table on the right hand side and respectfully handed it to Mrs. Lu: "This is what my brother and daughter-in-law brought to you when they came today, you can taste it, and say that it was rewarded by the Queen Mother." ”

"Oh, since it's something in the palace, it tastes better than outside." Mrs. Lu took a bite of the lotus cake and tasted it, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think of today's events?" ”

"You mean the second sibling?" He Shi stretched his neck, and he didn't say anything, but smiled lightly: "Hasn't Fu'er already confessed?" You also punished Fu'er, which can be regarded as an explanation to the second brother and sister. After thinking about it, he said: "Besides, that Fu'er was originally a person brought from the Wu family, who would have thought that she would murder her master." I can't complain that you have overlooked this matter, it is really this Fu'er who is cunning. ”

Mrs. Lu took another sip of fragrant tea, didn't raise her eyelids, and said: "Now the Wu family is not as good as before, and there is no longer as brilliant as Wu Zhengrong's time...... "But the An family is up now." ”

He nodded and said: "Yes, I heard my brother and daughter-in-law say today that Aunt An's eldest brother An Zhijin is going to be promoted again, and this time it is the head of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Si Zheng Liupin." Although the promotion letter has not yet been issued, the current secretary of the ministry, Zhao Lao, intends to carry it, and this matter is not far from ten. and Aunt An's third brother An Zhiming should also end up in the autumn, I heard that An Zhiming only learned it, and even the gentleman of the private school praised it three times and twice, and said that he would become a pillar in the future. ”

Mrs. Lu stared for a moment, rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Our Lu family also has a business in Zhejiang. In the past two years, although An Zhijin has been promoted by Zhengqipin, in the end, he is a person in the officialdom, and he can speak outside, and he has helped us day and night. Today's Events...... I know what I know, but I haven't looked into it, do you know my intentions? ”

What a shrewd man Ho was, how could he not understand the truth of this. In the past, the Wu family had Wu Zhengrong here, and there was the support of the Dingbei Hou Huo family, which was of great benefit to the Lu family, so the Wu family would be treated preferentially everywhere. But now the form is different, the Wu family is gradually going downhill, but the An family is beginning to gain momentum, and it is clear at a glance which will be more important in the future.

Mrs. Lu judged the situation, which was also expected. It's just that I pity the Wu family, and I don't know what I will be crushed by Aunt An in the future!

He secretly congratulated that her mother's power was prosperous, and she was able to live so comfortably. The eldest lord is the only woman by his side, and he has no worries about concubines. Her in-laws also value her, and her children naturally have more honor than other children.

"My daughter-in-law naturally understands your hard work, and you are also for the good of the Lu family, even if your younger brothers and sisters feel a little wronged in the future, she will definitely not blame you." He Shi's voice was flat, and he sat upright and said: "After all, she is a member of the Lu family now, and everything should be for the sake of the Lu family." ”

Mrs. Lu was very satisfied when she heard this, with a pleasant smile on her face, and praised: "You are still the most sensible, I didn't hurt you in vain." After thinking about it, he whispered: "But Aunt An's side, you still have to go and give her a good alert." She looked at her, her tone was a little colder, and she said, "After all...... I can't rub sand in my eyes. ”

"Yes, daughter-in-law understands." He smiled lightly, got up and added a bowl of tea to Mrs. Lu, but said in her heart, this old lady is really good at being a person, she didn't go to beat Aunt An herself, but let her go......

Hmph, the good people let her do it.

"Okay, you go, I'll let Mama Qian serve here." Old Lady Lu waved her hand, half-squinting her eyes and leaning on the big red manchi Jiao pillow behind her.

He knelt down, and Fang retreated.

It was dark outside, and Mama Zhang was leading Yun'er and Jin'er to wait under the corridor, and when they saw that it was He Shi who came out, the three of them hurriedly greeted her.

Yun'er and Jin'er carried lanterns in their hands, and Mama Zhang smiled: "The old lady is resting?" ”

He nodded, and his eyes nodded at Tingxue Zhai's position: "Let's go, go to Aunt An's." ”

Mama Zhang was slightly stunned, then smiled clearly, and ordered Yun'er and Jin'er to illuminate the He family, and the four masters and servants went straight to Tingxuezhai.

At this moment, Aunt An is standing quietly under the crimson partition fan, looking at the stars in the sky and secretly pondering today's events.

There are too many strange things today, Fu'er has always been very careful, and the medicinal effect of the yellow vine is not enough to bring down a cat, Wu's snow ball is just two bites, how can something happen?

Is the person behind this the old lady of the Wu family or the Wu family? Or is it ...... Is it Lu Shuyi?

Impossible, how could Lu Shuyi be so thoughtful? She's just a frizzy girl......

Although Fu'er came to the last moment to recruit her, she also saw Mrs. Lu's expression, and Mrs. Lu should have doubts in her heart now......

This blessing is like a cannon battle, maybe it will explode at any time, and this person can't be left behind......

I was thinking about it, but I heard the maids at the door calling, "The eldest lady is good." ”

Aunt An was stunned, what was she doing at this time? After thinking about it slightly, he hurriedly raised his arm and stroked his sideburns, and greeted him with a smile.

Although Aunt An has her mother's brother as her backing, she is a noble concubine in the end, and she will always be a head shorter in front of He's family, so when she sees He's, her attitude is naturally very courteous.

But He Shi's face was faint, and when he entered the house, he sat down next to each other and said in a deep voice: "I have a few words to say to you." ”

Aunt An also wanted to send someone to make tea, but when she heard this, she knew that He didn't want to sit here more, so she stepped back and sat on the peony carved cypress chair on one side, and said with a smile: "I still want to make you a pot of tea!" ”

"It doesn't have to be." He Shi raised his eyelids slightly, raised the corners of his lips lightly, and said, "I came here for this trip, but I suddenly thought of an interesting story, and I want to talk to my aunt!" ”

When Aunt An heard that He was going to tell a story, she couldn't figure out what she was going to do, so she could only smile and say: "The story told by the eldest lady must be interesting, and the concubine is willing to hear it in detail." ”

He pulled out a red gold-dotted emerald hairpin on his head and gently plucked the candle flame on the kang table, and the candle flame flickered and suddenly brightened. She looked at the candle flame and said slowly, "I'm going to tell a story about people and snakes. ”

People and snakes? Aunt An's face turned pale suddenly, and her hand couldn't help but squeeze the handkerchief tightly.

He Shi didn't see it, and just wanted to tell her story in frustration: "According to legend, during the Song Ren period, there were only ......two mother and son in a village in Shenze."

Aunt An broke out in a cold sweat in her palms, and she knew in her heart that He was going to tell the allusion that people's hearts were not enough to swallow elephants.

It seems that Mrs. Lu has already noticed the matter of Huang Teng, and she has already suspected her. Now He came to tell her this story, just to beat her, make her content, and don't make trouble in the future.

When the last word fell from her mouth, she chuckled and said, "Aunt An, tell me how dissatisfied this person is." If he had been content, the serpent would not have swallowed him alive. He can still enjoy the glory and wealth that the snake brings him, right? ”

Aunt An smiled, but she was bitter in her heart.

It can be seen that this person should have a degree and a measure in everything. If you are too transgressive and too dissatisfied, you may not have a good end in the future. He touched the emerald bead bracelet on his wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Aunt An, do you say this is the truth?" ”

Aunt An was sitting on pins and needles, as if she was tormenting in an oil pot, and she had to smile and say, "What the eldest lady said is right, that's exactly the case." ”

He knew that Aunt An was a smart person, and when talking to smart people, she never had to say much, just a little bit.

She smiled slightly, got up and said, "You've finished listening to the story, auntie should rest early, I still have something to do over there." ”

He had just taken two steps, when he suddenly glanced back at Aunt An and asked her, "Where is Fang'er?" ”

Aunt An was stunned, He never asked about Lu Shufang, what's wrong today? Suddenly, there was a flicker in her mind, could it be that He had already heard about Lu Shufang's tongue at noon?

She tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a calm voice: "The little girl loves to sleep, so she should rest early!" ”

He Shi let out an "oh", and couldn't see any expression on his face, but turned around and said, "Since that's the case, then let her rest more......

Aunt An's face was ugly, she gritted her teeth, and could only send He away with her head down.

As soon as He left, she immediately called Xing'er in, and said coldly: "Go and find out, who spread the news about Miss Seven and Miss Three." ”
