At that time, Su Xue was so focused on the cuckoo that she forgot about the wonderful dream, and she thought about it, and she was reprimanded in front of everyone, thinking that she was disgusted by being a young lady.

Miaomeng, this girl has a straight temperament, a good heart, and she is a lover, before Su Xue just said, "You and Qianrou are the ones I trust the most", Miaomeng was moved to tears.

There are many ways for her to deal with the cuckoo, but if she hurts Miaomeng because of this, it will be more than worth the loss.

Leaning on the pillow and waiting for a while, the curtain moved again, but it was still only Qianrou who came in.

Su Xue sat up straight and stared at the curtain, thinking that Miaomeng didn't dare to come in, but she looked at it for a long time, and the curtain was empty, and there was no half a figure.

"Miss, she has a wonderful dream...... She said she deserved to be punished and didn't dare to come back. After Qianrou finished speaking, she buried her head a little helplessly.

Su Xue was slightly stunned, and sneered: "Dead girl, can you still compete with me?" After saying that, he lifted the brocade quilt and got out of bed.

Qianrou hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Miss, it's cold outside at night, you still ......"

"I know it's cold outside, and that girl is still angry with me and won't come back?" Su Xue said angrily, walked quickly to the mirror and sat down.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Qianrou didn't dare to say more, so she combed Su Xue briefly, took a rabbit fur piping placket and a mink fur coat and a mink fur to put on for Su Xue, and went to bring a small carved silk enamel stove to warm Su Xue's hands, opened the curtain and went out, carrying a small lantern to lead the way.

The light of the lantern reflected the white breath exhaled by Su Xue, and she wrapped her big horn tightly and quickened her steps.

Such a cold night. There are few people on the bluestone road. The ladies and ladies had long since returned to the house and never went out again. The maids also waited in the room obediently, after all, who wants to come out in the cold and be cold?

But she was born here, and there was a dead girl who didn't make people worry.

Su Xue walked forward against the piercing night wind, and calculated in her heart that she would have to give birth to her if she brought Miaomeng back for a while.

Just pondering, a figure suddenly appeared around the corner, and before Su Xue could see who it was, the other party bumped into him.

"Oops!" The man, who didn't know whether he was hurt or frightened, suddenly shouted.

Su Xue stabilized her figure this time, and Qianrou carried the lantern to shine. only to see each other's faces clearly.

It turned out to be the maid pearl in the second wife's room.

I don't know if it's because of the night breeze blowing outside, or because of the collision just now, Pearl looks a little wolf, her hair is loose, her eyes are flustered, she raised her eyes and saw that the person who came was Su Xue, and hurriedly bowed down to confess her guilt.

Su Xue answered lightly, raising her eyes and glancing at where the pearl came from.

From this side of the past hand-copying verandah through the front of the west wing, and then go around to go out of the hanging flower gate to the outer courtyard.

In the middle of the night, what can the second wife do? Need to send someone to the outer court?

Look at the pearls again, empty-handed. He didn't even mention a lantern, he was so hurried in his steps, and he was so panicked after he bumped into her......

The east wing of the house lives in the uncle Jiang Yonghong, and the concubine lives in the west wing, and the third master Jiang Yongkun is still young, and there is no branch to live, and he is taken care of by the nurse and lives next to Aunt Zhao. Therefore, in this west wing, the second master Jiang Yongjun lives.

Su Xue's eyes were faintly constricted, could it be ......

"Mother must be tired of handling the affairs of the house these days, you are not waiting on the sidelines, what are you doing outside?" Su Xue asked lightly, but her eyes were fixed on Pearl's slightly lowered face.

The dark red lantern light reflected the pearl's smooth forehead, and she paused for a while before she raised her head and smiled: "The second wife is taken care of by Mother Qin and Xixiang, and the younger one follows the instructions of the second lady and sends the list and silver taels that need to be purchased tomorrow to the outer courtyard for distribution." ”

It's like a serious matter.

Su Xue nodded and said, "Let's go back quickly after sending it off, my mother has been working hard recently, you have to remember to serve with all your heart." ”

"Yes, the little one must serve with all his heart." When Pearl said this, her tone had softened a lot.

Su Xue also smiled gently, and continued to walk forward with Qianrou.

The red light of the lantern faded away, and Pearl covered her heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

After walking out for a while, Qianrou still couldn't help but speak: "Miss, she ......"

"Needless to say, I have my own plans." Su Xue stared ahead and calmly interrupted Qianrou's words.

Qianrou glanced in the direction of the pearl, steadied the lantern and said no more.

They turned another corner and walked along the wall of flowers to the door of the hanging flowers.

Qianrou went out, but Su Xue stopped and didn't go any further, only carrying the lantern left by Qianrou and waiting inside.

She turned her head and looked at the cold night sky with a faint gaze, the second wife, the pearl, Jiang Yongjun, the eldest lady......

Finally, someone is about to show the fox's tail.

But just such a little bit is not enough, catching a pearl is not a thing, what she wants is a handle that can involve the second wife.

After a while, Qianrou pulled Miaomeng over.

Miaomeng listened to Qianrou's words, and she didn't believe it at first, but when she came out, Su Xue really braved the cold night to pick her up.

Grievances and touches were mixed together, and Miaomeng's tears finally couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, crying twice, and her knees were weak and she wanted to kneel.

Su Xue's eyebrows twisted, and she hurriedly supported her, and said angrily: "This ground is cold to the bone, but you are not afraid of freezing!" ”

Qianrou also grabbed Miaomeng and persuaded on the side: "Miss has said it, it's just a misunderstanding, don't be stubborn, it's too much of a sin to cause Miss to come out and blow the cold wind." ”

Su Xue didn't want to stand outside for a long time, so she stretched out her hand and handed the lantern to Miaomeng, pretending to be stern and ordered: "Okay, what are you rubbing?" Hurry up and follow the way. ”

Miaomeng wiped her tears, took the lantern and walked in front, Qianrou pursed her lips and smiled, and helped Su Xue to follow behind.

"You really have good ambitions, you don't go to a high place, but stay in the outer courtyard with a dead face, do you want to go out of the house with a list to buy New Year's goods like the mother-in-law in the outer courtyard, and make some money from it?" Returning to the warm room, Su Xue untied the big gun and handed it to Qianrou, while looking at Miaomeng and said coldly.

Miao Meng no longer sulked when she heard these sarcastic words, wrinkled the bridge of her nose, and muttered, "The little ones are all wrong." Miss, stop being sarcastic......"

"Subjected to two sarcasm. It's better than being a vegetable buyer in the outer courtyard. Su Xue still didn't shut up.

Miaomu pouted. muttered: "Where, there are designated maids and maids in the outer courtyard to buy vegetables, who can go if they want to?" Besides, on the twenty-third, the priest of the stove, it will be the Stove King's Day in two days, and the New Year's goods in the house handled by the second wife have been purchased, and the sugar melons and sugar cakes needed for the sacrificial stove have to be bought by Steward Li. After all, the matter of the Stove King's Festival, how can the maids and wives intervene? ”

Su Xue listened silently, and only one sentence echoed in her mind: The New Year's goods handled by the second wife in the house have been purchased......

Then what Pearl said about taking the list of silver taels that need to be purchased tomorrow and giving it to the mother-in-law in the outer courtyard is pure nonsense.

There was a rustling sound outside the house, and it was snowing outside, and the candlesticks reflected the cellophane windows, and Su Xue slowly withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes in contemplation.

Miao Meng saw that she was distracted, thinking that she was unhappy after listening to these words, and hurriedly flattened her mouth and said, "Miss, you should continue to be sarcastic......"

This time, Su Xue has lost her leisure. Narrowing his eyes, he said, "You two." Listen to it all. ”

Qianrou and Miaomeng were both stunned, looked at each other, and quickly lowered their hands and stood beside Su Xue's bed.

"You two are the maids in my room, only if I live well, you can live well, you can have a good heart for others, but for me, you must not have."

When Qianrou and Miaomeng heard this, their faces became serious and they lowered their heads.

"In the same way, I regard the two of you as confidants, and naturally I will not wronged you for other people or other things. Even if you do commit a crime, I'm here to support you. Always believe that you are my people, and I will protect you. ”

Miaomeng bit her lower lip, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and said solemnly: "The little stupid will misunderstand the meaning of the young lady, and make the young lady worry like this, it is really damned...... Miss protects the two of us, and the two of us are also loyal to Miss, and we will never think about it again in the future, and we will never dare to have his heart! ”

Su Xue saw that Miaomeng was so sincere, and then closed her eyes with satisfaction and nodded.

In a blink of an eye, it is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, that is, the folk Stove King Festival, legend has it that on this day, the Lord of the Stove will go to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor the good and evil deeds of the folk households for a year, so every household has to rush to sacrifice the King of the Stove, so that the Lord of the Stove can say a few more good words in front of the Jade Emperor.

Early in the morning, the eldest and second masters came to the specially designed big stone stove, followed by the eldest Jiang Yonghong, the second Jiang Yongjun and the third Jiang Yongkun.

Steward Li held the prepared sugar melon and sugar cake and sent it over, and the second master personally stepped forward to remove the old statue of the king of the stove, pasted a brand new one, and took a piece of sugar cake with a smile and stuck it on the mouth of the statue of the king of the stove, which meant to make the mouth of the king of the stove sweet, and go to the Jade Emperor to say more good things.

Because there is a saying that "men don't worship the moon, women don't sacrifice to the stove", so this time the sacrificial stove is the business of the men in the house, and the ladies and ladies are sitting around the old lady's house waiting to eat the stove candy.

The second lady waited until the day of the sacrifice to the king of the stove to lift the confinement of the fourth lady and dragged her to the old lady's house.

The old lady sat high in the hall, and on the left side sat the second lady of the eldest lady and the two aunts of the big room, and on the left side were naturally the second lady and Aunt Zhao.

Perhaps because of the large number of people, the room was very warm, and after a while, the second lady's face turned red.

She looked at the old lady, and then glanced at everyone, but she didn't want to endure anything, and pulled and took off the corset placket that was embroidered all over the place with peonies and butterflies.

The second lady folded the bijia and handed it to Caiyue behind her, turned around and caught a glimpse of everyone's teasing eyes, so she smiled at the old lady and said: "I said that grandmother has a strong spring here, and it must be hot when she walks in, so she doesn't need to be wrapped like a rolling ball, but Caiyue didn't listen, and insisted on persuading me to wear more, which made me sweat." ”

The old lady frowned at first, thinking that the second girl didn't understand etiquette when she took off the outside armor in front of so many people, but when she heard this, she also smiled, and told Mother Hu to remove a stove, turned around and pointed at the second lady and said, "Just you are full of blood and blood of the second girl, look at that little face is ruddy!"
