At this time, the lotus clothes are pavilions, the hosta scratches the head, and the south and north of the river are full of knotweed red.

Xie Dagongzi's figure is really handsome, worthy of being a well-known good boy in the city, he returned home from Xunan Road, the little girl who burned the fire Ying'er actually escaped the mission, tiptoed to peek at him, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the cousin Lin Daiyu who he escorted back, really like a fairy who came down in the month, and was stunned. The figure was long gone, and she was still probing her brain there, when she suddenly heard a low voice asking, "Who is in charge of the begging fruit?" ”

The voice was low and inaudible, but the anger value did not decrease, but increased, and it was on the verge of danger. Ying'er shrunk her neck and was about to escape, but the angry housekeeper grabbed her hand and twisted her collar back.

When Ying'er's sister Yan'er came, she saw a basket of burnt fruit thrown on the kitchen, and the taro lady who was in charge of it twisted Ying'er's ears, and she was so angry that she yelled to kick her out. Yan'er's face turned yellow with fright, and she stayed outside the door for a while, not daring to go in to persuade her, so she thought about it and buried herself in looking for Mingzhu.

Mingzhu is a first-class girl next to the old lady, she is a proper and stable person, and she can not be relied on, no wonder she is regarded as a confidant by the old lady, and she is kind and willing to solve it for others, even the fifth young master Yun Ke was greedy and missed his homework, and the eldest master was ruthless and wanted to beat, but the eldest lady couldn't stop it, or Mingzhu used a clever method to solve it on his behalf, and the fifth young master had to escape. Ying'er thought, although their sisters' face is not as big as that of the fifth young master, fortunately, Sister Mingzhu has never been a person who rushes up and presses down, and the Ying and Yan sisters have a neighborhood friendship with Mingzhu's family, if Mingzhu comes forward to say something, Liu Ying'er may still stay.

The maids and servants everywhere acted in a hurry, each with their own deacons, Liu Yan'er carried a box as a cover, hid, and found the West House. The jasper inside was annoyed: "What about the nine-story exquisite pagoda that held rice crackers the year before last?" If you want this to be put on the table, where did you get it! ”

Several daughters-in-law of the family were sweating profusely and flipped through the books, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I have to ask Miss Mingzhu to find out the whereabouts of this thing." ”

"Pearl Pearl!" Biyu was ruthless, "Can't you leave her for a day?" I said, "Who kept this book?" If Mingzhu dies one day, you will also take these rotten books and say that you have to ask Mingzhu to go? ”

She is also the right-hand girl next to the old lady, her status is not under the pearl, the daughters-in-law are scolded so much that they dare not come out, and Jasper's eyelids are gouged: "Who is sneaking around at the door?" Die in! ”

Liu Yan'er had no choice but to come in with the box, burying her head, looking left and right, and sure enough, she didn't see the shadow of Mingzhu, and she cried bitterly in her heart, and Biyu had already asked her: "Why did you come?" ”

"How to make the mushroom duck for evening entertainment...... Liu Yan'er said vaguely, "Ask me to ask Sister Mingzhu ......"

"Who's calling to ask? Headless and brainless! Biyu was even more angry, "I can't live without Mingzhu!" What is the trouble of ducks doing it as usual? What are you ladies doing for food? ”

Liu Yan'er shrunk her shoulders and retreated,

Biyu was still angry, and when she turned around and checked the books again, there was a sudden voice outside the door: "Sister Mingzhu!" "Miss Mingzhu, you're tired." "Sister Mingzhu, you see that this one is what the eldest young master wants, should I take it like this?" As the voice approached, a fast-legged daughter-in-law in the house rushed to the door to tie up the half-sparse and half-transparent Mengxiu yarn curtain, and looked at the soft-skinned and bright-eyed woman who walked up the white stone path to the front of the steps, and said with a smile: "Pearl girl!" But Qiao'er, you're back, there is a nine-story exquisite tower-shaped tray that can't be found, girl, do you still have an impression? ”

"Look at this fast leg and fast mouth!" Biyu immediately flew over, "Counting on people's help, I don't have to check the accounts myself?" ”

The daughter-in-law's cheeks twitched obviously, and her hand was still holding the curtain.

Mingzhu's expression today is a little different than usual, she seems to be tired, and she seems to have something on her mind. No matter how much she has on her mind, she still behaves moderately, all the way, and responds to the greeting person all the way. When the daughter-in-law opened the curtain, she also glanced at the things that the little girl asked: it was a flower and bird inlaid emerald target mirror, the mirror was originally broken once, and then delicately gilded with treasure flower ornaments, and suddenly "pouted", first raised her face to the daughter-in-law who played the curtain and nodded with a smile, and then said to the girl: "The young grandmother's?" I didn't pick out a new one, how could I use this old one and repair it for the young grandmother! The little girl smiled and said, "It's the young grandmother who said, why use the new one, just call the old one to be supplemented and returned to her." Such a loss is nothing more than to leave a good impression of "being able to run a family" in front of the old lady, and Mingzhu's heart is open. The daughter-in-law in the house was still waiting for her with the curtain, and she was inconvenient to worry about it, so she only sighed: "The old lady often says, why should the young grandmother be so frugal!" Then he quickened his steps and climbed the stairs, took over the curtain, and thanked: "There is a sister-in-law." ”

The daughter-in-law's age is indeed older than Mingzhu and Jasper, but she is the old lady's right-hand man, the most popular person, and even the ordinary young master and young lady have to let them have a few points, the daughter-in-law is just a woman married to an ordinary domestic servant, and she begs for a living as a maid in the Xie Mansion. Mingzhu treated her politely, and compared the two, she was sour, and her eyes were hot.

Mingzhu entered the house, lowered his head and straightened his clothes, and by the way, he completely suppressed the matter in his heart, and it was expected that he couldn't even see Jasper face to face, Fang Xiao said to Biyu: "But the nine-layer tray with forty or fifty little lions with curly hair and tail carving, and only one with a bell in their mouth?" ”

Biyu nodded again and again: "It's not!" I remember using it the year before last! Which cupboard did you put it away? ”

Mingzhu thought for a while, pursed her lips and smiled: "Wasn't Aunt Shi in the Mercy View who was used to playing the autumn wind at that time?" What do you say Bodhisattva must like it when she sees this, the old lady is in charge, and she actually put it for her! I've been in a trance all these years, and I don't know if she sent it back. ”

An older daughter-in-law next to her smiled and said, "Since it fell into the hands of that mother-in-law, I don't think I can send it back." ”

Biyu also stumbled and laughed again, pulled Mingzhu to the table and sat down, poured tea for her, took the notebook to show her, and said, "You can sit for a while, see if there are any problems with my arrangements?" I'll just look for something else. Where did you go and delay for so long? I said how many things the old lady coaxed the old lady to go, and how we went back to knock and beat her! ”

Mingzhu smiled and said, "You have a string of pouts, which sentence should I reply first?" He pressed his hand on the notebook, "You know people and things best, I am not as good as you, so you don't need to read it." He added: "It won't take much time to check the courtyard, confirm that Miss Lin brought the food and lodging of those people, and prepare for human exchanges, but it is ...... in Mubai Courtyard" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused.

Jasper also remembered. This scene is familiar.
