The mention of the eldest lady's mother's house really poked her sore spot, she looked at her face, and said with a forced smile: "There are many people in this house, and there are many mouths." As the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, how can I compare with those lowly slaves and maids? Naturally, I don't care. ”

"No matter if you don't care, you can't stop people's mouths! If you can't hold your face, don't be generous, I don't have any appetite for the old woman! ”

The old lady, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't stand the appearance of the eldest lady, put the horn comb in her hand into the brocade box, and opened her mouth coldly.

The eldest lady gritted her teeth in shame and lowered her head, this family is all there, and the maids and servants in the room are watching, she is already so submissive, can't this dead old woman save her some face?

She just wanted to get up immediately, splash the old lady's face with soup slag, get up and pack up her baggage and run away from home!

But she didn't dare, she didn't even have the courage to return the eye. Since the last time she knelt in the snow, she didn't dare to come hard with the old lady.

The eldest lady clenched her teeth, her eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly she raised her face again and smiled in a dry voice, and said, "Isn't this talking about giving gifts to my mother?" How did it get to my daughter-in-law...... The daughter-in-law is just persuading Sister Xue, and the daughter's family should learn more from female workers, which is not bad. But don't learn from my big girl Yuanling, I used to spoil her, she was lazy and didn't learn, now I look at being a mother, I want to embroider a few belly pockets myself, but I have a weak heart, and I don't look like it. ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at the old lady meaningfully.

The old lady was shocked.

Yuanling...... Going to be a mother? The old lady couldn't seem to believe it.

The eldest lady smiled so much that her cheeks turned red, pulled out a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and said, "Exactly......"

As soon as the eldest lady said this, she came out. The banquet was lively. The old lady's eyes rolled quickly. Calm was quickly restored.

The eldest lord said happily: "But really? Why didn't you talk about it earlier? ”

The second wife smiled in a welcome way and said, "Isn't this talking?" I just got the news, too. I thought that the old lady would advance the New Year's banquet, and Yuanling could also take the time to come back and send someone to send a letter to ask, but Yuanling said that she was happy and inconvenient to work ...... carriage and horses."

The second master also said happily: "There is no hindrance, there is no hindrance, it is the right thing to take care of the body." ”

The eldest lady smiled proudly, and glanced at the old lady and Su Xue from time to time. Su Xue had already been shocked once before, and this time there was not much surprise.

But the old lady was stunned for a moment, and then her face became heavy.

Everyone at the banquet said auspicious words and congratulatory words, and the old lady also laughed, but in that smile, there was more worry than joy.

After the congratulations here, the eldest lady still did not forget the old account of Jì Fangcai, glanced at Su Xue, and changed her words. said: "Sister Xue is not bad, after all, you are just a girl who has not left the pavilion." How can you be expected to find ginseng for the old lady? But then again, since it's a girl's house, you should have the appearance of a girl's family, learn more from your second sister and embroidery with the sixth girl, don't wait until you get married and want to be a mother in the future, but you can't even make a belly pocket, your eldest sister is an example! ”

She was talking about the eldest lady's no, but her tone was very proud.

Su Xue pursed her lips and said in a muffled voice: "The eldest aunt taught right, but ...... But Su Xue is clumsy, I'm afraid I can't learn how to tie and embroider......"

She didn't dare to deal with this, just watching Qianrou do it on weekdays, she was one head and two big, I really wanted her to do it, I'm afraid that the network was not good, but she was tied up in it......

This big lady will really block her!

Just thinking about it, the eldest lady chuckled again: "I can't get wild ginseng, and I don't want to learn to play ginseng, so I casually use the comb to deal with the old lady, this is the good girl taught by the second brother and the second aunt?" ”

Seeing that the eldest lady suppressed Su Xue, the second lady also began to help, and said, "Mother's words are to the point!" The annual New Year's feast in the house is just a matter of not offering gifts, but if a gift is offered, it should not be hastily perfunctory. The second uncle and the third master are all men, and they can't do the things of their daughter's family, and it makes sense to buy a white jade porcelain plate, and the third sister is a girl's family like us, how can she use those things that can be bought with money to deal with grandmother? This is clearly disrespectful! ”

Su Xue lowered her eyebrows slightly, this big house is really floating wood, and she can't get out of it.

Although the eldest lady is pregnant with the heir of the Zheng family, she has not yet been born, even if she is born, she may be able to raise an adult.

Miao Meng couldn't listen anymore, bit her lip, and couldn't help but say, "Actually...... In fact, the third lady also has a ginseng! ”

The eldest lady's face changed, and she asked sharply, "Yes, what about ginseng?" Where? ”

"This ......"

Miaomeng was so anxious that her face turned red, and she wanted to defend herself, but the eldest lady didn't give her a chance, and sneered: "But Sister Xue is also attentive, although in the end it is all poor and tossing!" Besides, even if you find it, what can you do in this Jizhou city? ”

The second old man was unhappy when he saw Su Xue being made difficult like this, so he puffed out his cheeks and said to the eldest wife: "Why did the sister-in-law impose this matter on Su Xue?" Although it is true that Su Xue proposed that her mother needs to drink ginseng soup, this search for ginseng is not within the reach of her girl's family. Sister-in-law, don't worry, even if I try my best, I will get a good ginseng, which can be regarded as making up for the inappropriateness of Su Xue's gift at the New Year's banquet. ”

The eldest lady looked away disdainfully, and finally stopped.

Su Xue raised her eyes slightly and looked at the second master, with mixed feelings in her heart, and finally narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice: "Su Xue is not thoughtful, so that my father is embarrassed......"

The second old man was still angry in his heart, and when he heard Su Xue's words, he was slightly startled, raised his face and smiled with relief, nodded and said, "The old lady has already accepted your horn comb, and there is nothing wrong with you, come back and sit down." ”

"Yes." Su Xue squatted slightly at the second master, and then turned back to the old lady and bowed her head to confess.

The old lady looked ahead, nodded her head, and Su Xue returned to the table and sat down.

Sitting in the smoke of the back house and watching the tiger fight is the old lady's forte, and she will never open her mouth to help unless it is extraordinary.

Because the old lady knows how to cut into the chaos and what is best for herself.

It's like the second wife is the future prospective housewife in this house, so even if the second wife occasionally has a mistake, the old lady will stand up and cover for her at a critical moment.

For example, Su Xue can cure the old lady's illness, so even if the old lady scolds her favorite second son, she must protect Su Xue from marrying the Shen family.

But as for those that are unfavorable, or not painful, the old lady instantly turned into a passerby, and suddenly cherished the words like gold.

In the past, when the eldest wife and the second wife were fighting, the old lady would only slap the table with a horizontal face when she was provoked. Even if Jingxuan scolded Su Xue for being a cheap seed in the Xiangyun Inn last time, the old lady only knocked on the cane at most......

So after hearing that the eldest lady Jiang Yuanling was pregnant with the heir of the Zheng family, the old lady's attitude towards the eldest lady immediately changed. Even if the eldest lady was so aggressive, the old lady didn't say a word to protect her, even if it was just a light cough!

The eldest lady's belly is the future quasi-lord, maybe the entire Jiang Mansion will have to rely on the eldest lady at that time.

And look at the second room now, the second old man is stubborn, the court recruited him to Beijing and was politely rejected by him, and he wanted to stick to Jizhou as a parent official, and the second wife had a situation again, and this time the child had a red rash on his face and couldn't come out to see people......

The old lady was silent for a while, she must have calculated it in her heart, the old lady is used to judging the situation, the situation in this house has changed, she naturally has to wait and see.

In fact, Su Xue knew this before, the old lady was hard-hearted and good at being a controller of the overall situation.

In fact, the old lady is willing to watch the big room and the second room occasionally make trouble, not only can she use her strength to suppress the hateful arrogance of the eldest lady, but also check and balance the second wife, so that the second lady knows that it is powerful, so that she will have to continue to rely on the old lady.

For a selfish housewife like the old lady, smart people will use her as a springboard, and only stupid people will think that she has hugged her thighs forever.

Su Xue has always understood this, but after seeing the old lady's indifferent side face, she can be regarded as a complete understanding.

After returning to her seat, Su Xue remained silent, and the eldest lady forced the second master to drop the words, saying that she would definitely be able to find good ginseng, but what if she couldn't find it......

Su Xue frowned.

In everyone's concern and congratulations to the eldest lady, the banquet finally started, the eldest lady got up and prepared dishes for the old lady, and Su Xue bowed her head and ate silently.

The eldest lady sandwiched a piece of osmanthus fish meat to the old lady, and sandwiched a lot of crispy bamboo shoots and magnolia slices, and suddenly sighed again: "I have to get up and rush to the old house in Jiangnan tomorrow...... Hey, it's no wonder that the second brother didn't settle the matter of wild ginseng earlier, if the old lady made up for it before she went down to Jiangnan, how good would it be......"

The Longjing shrimp sandwiched by Su Xue slipped and fell into the small dish. She secretly clenched the silver chopsticks and said in a cold voice: "The eldest aunt is so concerned about her grandmother's body, she should know that her grandmother is weak, how can she still add a lot of bamboo shoots to her grandmother?" ”

The eldest lady trembled with fright, how could Jiang Suxue, a little calf, talk so angrily?

The eldest lady was stunned, and the old lady already had Mother Hu clipping out the crispy bamboo shoots and magnolia slices.

The eldest lady had no choice but to sit down, and also glanced at Su Xue coldly, and said, "If the second brother could find the ginseng earlier and take care of his mother's body, he wouldn't be so restrained, and even eat so carefully!" ”

"The eldest aunt is right, but why do you always just say it and don't do it?" Su Xue really couldn't stand the fact that the eldest lady involved the second master in every word, she looked at the eldest lady coldly, and the hand hidden under the table was secretly clenched, and there seemed to be murderous intent in her eyes. (To be continued......)
