"I heard yesterday that you're coming back, what? Auntie didn't come? The old lady turned her head and looked around.

Jiang Yuanling's face became even heavier, and she only said in a muffled voice: "He's not in Beijing, so he can't come ......."

The old lady just asked casually, it was strange that Zheng Tingxuan was coming.

When the eldest lady returned home, the ladies and ladies at the table all greeted each other one by one, and Su Xue also saw the salute and looked at Jiang Yuanling carefully.

Jiang Yuanling was dressed up brightly, with the golden silk dotted emerald inlaid red agate crested crested on the cloud bun, elegant and luxurious, embroidered all over the ground begonia flowers brocade placket on the placket with a chrysoprase curved gold brooch, this body of pearls and emerald silk Luo, can even compare the second wife's outfit.

But Rao is that her appearance has been dressed up so extravagantly, and the sadness on her face still betrays a qiē.

The eyes are vain, the upper eyelids are slightly drooping, and the face is sallow, as if she has a crying resentful face at all times......

Before, the eldest lady shouted that she had wronged the eldest lady's marriage and could no longer wronged the second lady, but now at a glance, she really didn't marry the right person.

After greeting the eldest lady and the young master of the house, they waited for the banquet to begin.

At the banquet, the second lady kept praising Shen Yifeng and the fifth lady as a pair made in heaven, and the old lady also smiled and said that Shen Yifeng was polite and polite.

Aunt Zhao smiled with a red face, and the fifth lady also swept away Fang Cai's displeasure and lowered her head shyly. The eldest lady and the eldest lady didn't talk much, and after a few words of greeting, they bowed their heads and ate silently.

Halfway through the use, another maid served a cup of stewed soup, and everyone was wondering how to serve the food halfway, so the second wife explained with a smile: "This is keel stew." Longan, peanuts, and red dates are specially added to it. It's a cup specially made up for Jingzhen. Jingzhen needs to eat more! ”

The second lady said while serving soup to the fifth lady, and smiled kindly.

The fifth lady thanked the second wife, took the stew full of meaning, raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Shen Yifeng opposite, lowered her head and blushed.

Not long after the stew was served, the maid brought another plate of hairy crabs.

The second wife got up again, beckoned the maid to put the hairy crab in front of Shen Yifeng, and explained: "I heard that the fifth aunt likes to eat crabs. But now is indeed not the season to eat crabs, it took a long time, and I finally put together a plate, don't dislike it, the fifth aunt. ”

Su Xue looked at the plate of hairy crabs that meant to be red and hot, and secretly took a breath, although the hairy crabs are delicious, but the crabs are cold, how can they be eaten in winter?

Does the second wife not understand health, or is she playing with some other ideas?

After a while, Su Xue got the answer.

Because it's not crab season. Therefore, there were only four crabs on the plate, and the second wife personally prepared the vegetables. One was given to the old lady, one was given to Shen Yifeng, one was given to the eldest master, and the last one, under the prevarication of everyone, was left to herself.

These two wives really don't know much about health.

Shen Yifeng looked at the crab in front of him, a little helpless, he did like to eat crabs, and he was more familiar with the etiquette and taboos of eating crabs, but now in Jiangfu, he had to be more easy-going.

Su Xue saw the embarrassment on Shen Yifeng's face and felt that the time had come, so she smiled and said, "How can you eat crabs like this?" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and instructed the cuckoo: "Go to the kitchen and get four sets of crabs and eight pieces." ”

Du Juan was frightened by Su Xue and broke out in a cold sweat, how dare he hesitate at this time? hurriedly answered.

The cuckoo went down, and Su Xue turned around and smiled: "Although the cuckoo girl has not been by my side for a long time, she is very diligent and very likable." She has sharp hands and feet, runs fast, and saves this side a long wait. ”

Su Xue explained this way, in fact, she just wanted to show that she didn't want to take away the demeanor of the second wife, the prospective hostess.

After hearing this, the second wife also smiled and said: "Look at me who is so busy all day that I am dizzy, I have forgotten this, and I am grateful to Sister Xue for being thoughtful!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at Shen Yifeng again, covered his mouth and smiled: "Sister Xue was not meticulous in the past, but now she is very considerate of the fifth aunt!" ”

As soon as the second wife said this, the fifth lady and Aunt Zhao immediately darkened their faces.

Su Xue endured her displeasure, smiled faintly, and also took two bowls of keel stew and handed them to the old lady and the second wife, and said, "Rao is no matter how meticulous Su Xue is, she also feels sorry for her grandmother and mother." Eating crabs hurts your body in this winter, so let's drink a warm soup first. ”

The old lady was still waiting for the crab to come, but when she heard that eating crabs in winter hurt her body, she immediately disliked the crab in front of her.

The second lady saw the old lady's dissatisfaction, pushed the dragon bone soup in front of the old lady, and said, "The daughter-in-law is not thoughtful, since eating crabs hurts the body, then the mother will ......."

Before the second lady finished speaking, the old lady picked up the crab with a calm face and put it on the plate next to her, and immediately a maid came forward to take it and pour it into the discarded soup.

The second wife glanced at the fat crab in the soup, and felt a secret pity in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

After a while, the cuckoo took eight crabs and presented them to the crab eaters one by one, and when they were presented to Shen Yifeng, the cuckoo's posture was obviously more respectful.

Shen Yifeng just smiled faintly and took it.

After the cuckoo delivered eight crabs, he returned to Su Xue.

Su Xue scooped up a spoonful of yam porridge and twisted her eyebrows slightly.

Just now she deliberately asked the cuckoo to fetch eight crabs, such a good opportunity, why didn't Shen Yifeng have the slightest expression?

Could it be that Shen Yifeng is not ready to take the cuckoo back immediately? Still planning to keep an eye on her?

Su Xue gritted her teeth and was silent for a while, but there was still no movement on Shen Yifeng's side. She was a little confused.

Until the end of the meal, Miaomeng brought tea to rinse Su Xue's mouth, Su Xue took a sip, suddenly frowned and whispered, Miaomeng panicked, hurriedly took back the saucer, and said with concern: "Damn it, Miss is hot?" ”

Su Xue coughed twice, frowned and reprimanded: "Hairy, retreat!" ”

Miaomeng was so frightened that her whole body stiffened, holding the tray and froze in place, unable to believe that Su Xue would reprimand her so fiercely.

Su Xue saw that Miaomeng didn't move, and frowned again: "What are you doing in a daze, can't you go down?" It's really clumsy and used to it, and you are not allowed to eat today! ”

Shen Yifeng happened to finish rinsing his mouth, and when he heard Su Xue reprimanding the maid, he watched with interest.

Those who were dignified and decent. Calm and serious, all fake?

Miaomeng was yelled at twice by Su Xue. I had to bow down twice quickly. When she raised her head again, her eyes were already full of tears, she didn't dare to come out, and quickly retreated with the tray.

After Su Xue finished training Miaomeng, she looked at the cuckoo again and said, "You should go and get tea." ”

Fang Cai Suxue was so fierce, Du Juan naturally didn't dare to say a word, and hurriedly turned around to get it.

Su Xue turned around and wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief. embarrassed and smiled: "Miaomeng's maid is just not careful, or the cuckoo is good, diligent and lovely, after a while, she will be promoted to a second-class maid, and she will be by my side!" ”

Shen Yifeng's eyes flickered when he heard this.

When the others at the table heard this, they just smiled.

The cuckoo came back with tea, Su Xue took it and rinsed her mouth, and drank another cup. Satisfied nodded: "Sure enough, it's still the cuckoo, this girl is meticulous and intimate." ”

The second lady had sharp eyes and glanced at the clothes on the cuckoo's body. smiled: "It seems that Sister Xue is really rewarding and punishing the maid, the diligent and caring maid will not be treated badly when she arrives at Sister Xue'er, look at how fine the material of the cuckoo's little jacket is!" ”

Mother Hu also glanced at it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't that the satin that the old lady ordered to send to the third lady last time?" That's a fine brocade. ”

Even Mother Hu's voice was full of admiration, which shows that few people in the house can be treated so well.

Su Xue nodded: "Exactly!" This brocade was brought, and Su Xue rewarded two horses to the cuckoo, and the cuckoo also knew his kindness, his hands and feet were more numb, he was not lazy at all, and he was very dedicated! ”

After speaking, he turned around and took the cuckoo's hand affectionately.

The cuckoo was a little flattered, looked at Su Xue's enthusiastic expression, and then looked at everyone's admiring gaze. In the end, he dared to glance at Shen Yifeng on the other side timidly, and suddenly turned pale with fright, and quickly lowered his head.

The news that the cuckoo was loved by the third lady soon spread, and the maids and women were either envious or jealous. The cuckoo is just a newcomer, and he was arranged to the third lady, which was the hardest errand, who would have thought that this girl would have good luck and rise to prominence so quickly?

I also heard that after the third lady got the cuckoo, she snubbed the previous maid Miaomeng, and if it continues like this, Miaomeng may not be long before she will be driven to the outer courtyard to do rough work.

The maids and ladies kept sighing while talking, this master's temperament is really elusive.

After lunch, Shen Yifeng and Miss Wu were about to get up and go back to Shen's house.

Before leaving, Aunt Zhao pulled the fifth lady to the room to say goodbye, Shen Yifeng said goodbye to the Jiang family, and went out of the corner gate in advance to wait by the carriage.

After a while, the cuckoo came out lightly.

The fifth lady hasn't come out yet, so the Jiang family hasn't sent her either, and there are people from the Shen family outside the corner door.

The cuckoo came out and saw more than a dozen people standing around the carriage, don't look at them dressed in plain clothes, in fact, they are all master guards.

The cuckoo lowered his head and walked to Shen Yifeng's side, not daring to speak.

Shen Yifeng walked around to the other side of the carriage and stood with his hands in his hands.

The cuckoo pursed her lips nervously, and had no choice but to follow her.

Walking two steps away from Shen Yifeng, she stopped, bit her lip and wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, Shen Yifeng suddenly slapped her with a backhand.

She instinctively screamed in pain, only to feel dizzy.

When she came back to her senses, a burst of scarlet sweetness had overflowed from her mouth, and she touched the corner of her mouth, which was warm blood.

There was no time to cry out in pain, so she quickly knelt down, she held back her sobs, but her whole body kept twitching.

"You are so bold that you dare to lie to me?" Shen Yifeng's voice was very calm, but the words he said seemed to be heart-wrenching.

The cuckoo sobbed silently, and shook his head vigorously: "The second young master is clear, the little one doesn't dare, and the little one doesn't dare to ......die."

"It's best not to dare." Shen Yifeng turned around, and there was actually a smile on his face, "Then tell me quickly, why did Jiang Suxue accept the jade pendant of the eldest young master of Yiguo Mansion?" ”

The cuckoo's tears kept flowing out, and his whole body was trembling, but he didn't dare to cry, so he only said in a trembling voice: "The little one really doesn't know...... The third lady has always refused to let the little one into the house to serve, and the little one really doesn't know......"

"Dare to lie? Act recklessly! Shen Yifeng's face suddenly darkened, and he stared at the cuckoo tightly. (To be continued......)
