"Lamei, you go back to the house first and help me pick up the fifth sister."

Zhang Shunjia blinked suspiciously, "What does the eldest prince want to do, the eldest prince won't help if he doesn't make it clear." ”

Brother Shen couldn't help but smile, "Lamei, I'm afraid of you, I just dropped the teapot and cup, and it's not worth a few silver, coaxing Lord Lu to play." ”

"The slave and maid don't understand any reason, I only remember that the eldest prince taught the slave and the maid to read, and there is a sentence that the slave and the maid still remember, the ancient gentleman, no friends do not make ugly words, and the eldest prince understands better than the slave and maid."

Brother Shen grinned, "I didn't break off my friendship with Lord Lu." ”

"Sister Lamei, I also used many means when I was a child, sometimes I was forced by others, and sometimes I deliberately made trouble, I deliberately teased Lord Lu this time, I wanted him to help me, and directly said that he would definitely not help me, I had to play some tricks with him, you can rest assured, Lord Lu is not angry, he will come again in two days, he is not fishy to eat a hundred beans."

Zhang Shunjia bit his lip, "The slave maid believes the words of the eldest prince, but the eldest prince said what are you going to do with the fifth miss?" The old lady won't agree, and she can't let the eldest prince mess around. ”

"I'm for my second sister, didn't you see my brother-in-law say that the second sister is uncomfortable? She didn't even go into the house when she sent a red note, and she didn't know the news of her wife, so she picked up the fifth sister over, and my second sister felt a little more comfortable, and her sisters could also say a few words from their hearts. ”

Brother Shen smiled, "It's just that Sister Lamei, you have to lie, you whispered to the old lady, saying that I just heard Lord Lu say that the eldest prince will come out of the palace to play in two days, and I want to take the fifth sister to help me copy the book, just follow the old lady's wishes, don't force it." ”

"The eldest prince really wants to come?" Zhang Shunjia couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Brother Shen made a collapsed expression, "If you don't say that, where can you get the old lady, the house is too guilty for the New Year, and let my fifth sister come out to relax." ”

Brother Shen picked up a few good things in the gift list sent by others, and gave the new set of kang table tea sets to the old lady, and there was an account book for his wife to see, and an embroidered picture book for Brother Jin.

Zhang Shunjia hesitated, "The son also wants to keep the same good for himself." ”

Brother Shen smiled indifferently, "What do I want those things to do, I am reluctant to fall, and I can't give it away, it is better to make the old lady happy, and I can also take the fifth sister out, Lamei, you see Zhang Shun first, and ask him to be vague when he reports to the detonator, just say that I fell out with Lord Lu, Lord Lu doesn't know what to force me to do, Lord Lu is angry and exaggerated, and the specific is vague, and you sent someone to the hospital to ask the doctor to come over, just say that I am not feeling well." ”

Zhang Shun's family agreed to go out, the eldest prince deliberately angry with Lord Lu, could it be that he was acting for the detonator to see, and he didn't dare to think about it, first asked Zisu to explain a few words, and then begged the fourth lady to take care of the family, and ordered the little maid to fill two boxes of newly made lotus root flour cinnamon sugar cake, a few jars of fried noodles and fruits, and came to the second door to call out Zhang Shun and said Brother Shen'er's request, Zhang Shun was a little puzzled, "What does the eldest prince mean by this, what do you do to provoke Lord Lu." ”

Zhang Shunjia said with a cold face, "The eldest prince's intentions are also speculated by you. ”

He refused to pay much attention to him, and ordered the silver spear to invite the imperial doctor to come, and ordered the copper hammer to set four carriages, and took the four daughters-in-law and two little maids to follow, and went back to the house to see the old lady.

When I arrived at the door of Anguohou's Mansion, the porter greeted me and said with a smile, "It turned out that Sister-in-law Zhang came, it was so late, and I didn't say a word in advance, you waited for us to send someone in to report, the old lady has ordered, you are not allowed to go in if you don't pass through, don't think our house is shabby, come in first to avoid the wind and drink tea." ”

The old lady has many rules, especially important, Zhang Shun's family has served by the old lady's side since childhood, knowing that the old lady has many taboos, so he won't say much, first go to the gatehouse to avoid the wind, and let the handlebar move in two jars of fried noodles and fruits to these gatekeepers, and take out the usual copper coins, "This is the eldest prince's reward for you, you will divide it yourself in a while, the eldest prince said, this is for you to subsidize the family, and you are not allowed to eat and drink and make trouble." ”

A few porters didn't agree, "We thank the eldest son, there is no shortage of rewards for us all year round, this year the Hou Ye is not at home, and a few of us have not fished out one more copper plate except for that little monthly case." ”

Someone ran to the second door to spread the word, a few porters and Zhang Shun's family laughed, and joked about the four little daughters-in-law, laughing back to Zhang Shun's house to ask the house, Zhao Guodong said, "The old lady has a lot of rules, in the morning my aunt and grandmother sent the red note girl over, the old lady only let me receive something, and sent the red note girl back, the red note girl cried here for a long time, saying that she couldn't go back." ”

Zhang Shun's family and the daughters-in-law looked at each other, "Even the red note girl won't let in?" Our aunt and grandmother are the young ladies of the Yingguo Mansion. ”

"I don't know why." One of the porters said, and the other said, "What else can I do, those two people who are very afraid of the second lady will see the doorway, and it will be difficult for the two of them to make money." ”

Zhang Shun's family knew who they were talking about, laughed again, and ran back to report the news, "Sister-in-law Zhang, the old lady let you in." ”

Zhang Shun's family hurriedly stood up, and led a few people to hug each other, and the mother-in-law of the second door nodded and said hello, and rewarded them with the usual money for them to share, all smiling and squinting, saying that the eldest son was good, and flattering Zhang Shun's family.

Zhang Shun's family didn't care, and walked inside with people, while saying to Ma Dagui's family, "When you go in for a while, you can talk to Mei Xiang, and say that I asked her how the New Year is, and I don't have time to talk to Mei Xiang for a while this time." ”

Ma Dagui's family is Ju Xiang, just 16 years old this year, she made a little mistake in the old years, because of her good friendship with Mei Xiang, she just went home, and later married Brother Shen in front of the handlebar Ma Dagui, Zhang Shun's family is willing to promote her in the past incense love, Ma Dagui's family is taught by Mei Xiang hand-in-hand, and she looks decent and clean, and often goes out with her.

Another little daughter-in-law turned out to be a chores in the small kitchen, and she had served the eldest lady before, because the eldest lady died early, several of them fell from the sky to the ground, because she was the sister-in-law of the chain, and the family was given to Brother Shen, so she said to Zhang Shun's family, "I want to see my sister, she is in charge of the old lady's utensils." ”

"You keep your mouth tight, listen more and talk less, and don't talk about things over there." Zhang Shunjia gave a few words, and the four little daughters-in-law all agreed with a smile.

Talking to Chunhui Hall, I heard a melodious music from a distance, the room was very lively, the old lady sat on the kang and listened to the female gentleman tell the story, Yurong, Yuqin and Yuyan of the third room, Yushu of the fourth room several sisters surrounded the old lady Chenghuan's knees, the third lady and the fourth lady sat on the chair to have fun, I heard that Brother Shen sent someone to send something back, the old lady also forgot that Brother Shen had bad luck, sat on the kang and said with a smile, "Call someone to come in and talk." ”

Zhang Shun's family came in and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The old lady is blessed and healthy, my brother thinks about my grandmother every day, because I got two new exquisite and unique tea sets, thinking that my grandmother may be able to use it for a treat, so I ordered the slave maid to send it to the old lady, and the old lady likes it when she sees it, and it is also my brother's filial piety." ”

The old lady was really happy, "It's still my brother Shen who thinks about me." ”

There have already been people who have moved in, and the old lady is really rare at a glance, the red sandalwood round-legged small kang table, the small tea tray filled with lacquer and the golden cloud dragon offering longevity, and the four colorful small cups of the kiln, the old lady smiled and ordered someone to reward Zhang Shun's family with a bowl of wine, and let her sit on the small pestle to eat wine.

Zhang Shun's family sat at the bottom of the kang, took the bowl and ate slowly, while talking about the eldest son's things, "The eldest prince is worried about his grandmother, these days he is copying Buddhist scriptures at home, saying that he wants to worship the Bodhisattva, and the eldest prince has also won the attention of the sons of various families, this set of tea sets was sent by the prince of Yanci County, as well as the son of Shen Shen, the eldest son of Wanghai Houjia, and the prince of the Duke of Qi are all better than our eldest son." ”

The old lady became more and more happy when she heard this, so she asked about the situation of the sons of each family, and Zhang Shun's family said what she knew, "The slave and maid serve in the outer courtyard, and I haven't seen it a few times, so I really can't say anything, but the eldest prince ordered the slave and maid to come back, but there is one thing," After speaking, she smiled slightly and didn't go on, and the old lady hurriedly asked, "What does Brother Shen want you to say." ”

Zhang Shunjia looked into the house.

The old lady waved her hand, the maids on the ground retreated, the two aunts stretched out their heads to look here, Zhang Shun's family just slowly lowered their heads and drank, the third lady and the fourth lady looked at each other and had to go out, and several sisters also went out, Zhang Shunjia stood up and walked to the old lady's side, lowered his voice and said, "The eldest prince is not sure, let the slave and maid only tell the old lady, the eldest prince also listened to Lord Lu, and the eldest prince went out of the palace to play in the first month." ”

The old lady's heart jumped, and she hurriedly took Zhang Shunjia's hand, "Brother Shen said this?" ”

"The eldest prince can't do it accurately, the eldest prince wants the fifth lady to go over and help him copy the book."

The old lady's eyes flickered, "Then ask Yuqin to come and stay for a few days." ”

Zhang Shunjia said with a smile, "The eldest prince instructed the slave maid, this matter must not be said outside, it is not good to deliberately, it is in the sky to make things happen, the fifth lady may have this great blessing, the eldest prince also instructed the slave and maid to ask the lady to say goodbye, and there are a few accounts that should be checked by the lady, and the slave and the maid should be sent to the lady." ”

The old lady smiled, "You hurry up and see Madame, and then call Yuqin over, I will give you a few words." ”

Zhang Shun's family agreed to go out, the little maid followed behind with the account book, and happened to meet Mama Qin coming over, Mama Qin hurriedly took her hand and smiled, "You went out with the eldest prince this time, I haven't seen you for some days, and I have an errand on my body, so it's not good to invite you to sit at home." ”

Zhang Shun's family also smiled, "I heard from the eldest prince two days ago that Mama's youngest son is a smart one, and he studied with Lu Youfang for two years on the counter, and he is also a one-man figure, and Mama Qin is blessed." ”

"My blessing is not rewarded by the eldest prince, and your credit is indispensable." Mama Qin looked left and right and lowered her voice, "I tell you that the house is amazing now, it's all those two who are in charge, the old lady can't control it, the fifth miss just said a word, the third miss and a few young ladies grabbed the white together, so angry that the fifth miss cried once, and she didn't dare to ask the lady to know, the lady was so sick that she couldn't even take care of herself." ”

said a lot in a low voice, "The second miss sent the maid back and didn't let her in, not to say that it was the rule of the ancestors, the second miss was pregnant and would rob the aura of the heirs of the Hou Mansion." ”

Zhang Shunjia's face was slightly cold, "The eldest prince refuses to take care of these idle things, and even our eldest prince has bad luck on him, let the two of them go proudly first, and wait for the Hou Ye to come back, why didn't Mei Xiang serve in front of the old lady?" She has passed the year twenty-four, and if she doesn't go out, it will really be delayed. ”

Mama Qin smiled bitterly, "The fourth lady remembered that she asked Mei Xiang to be a concubine for the fourth master, and asked the old lady to come to her, Mei Xiang said that she would not agree, but the old lady smiled and asked her to embroider in the back, and now she is making the old lady's clothes." ”

Zhang Shunjia was so angry that he said, "She is so virtuous!" When is this the case? ”

If you want to say anything more, the little maid on Madame's side ran over, "Sister Caidie asked me to come over and ask, Sister-in-law Zhang, are you done, Mrs. wants to see Sister-in-law Zhang." ”

Zhang Shunjia hurriedly said, "I'm about to go over." Hurriedly said a few words to Mama Qin, and hurriedly walked to the main room. R1152
