Before, Su Xue asked Qianrou to pay attention to the maid Pearl next to the second wife, because the pearl and the pharmacy Xiaoding were the closest in the house.

Su Xue originally wanted to start with the pearl to see if she could follow the vine and fish out the truth about the hands and feet in the medicinal herbs last time.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ding didn't have too many eyebrows, and found that Pearl and the second master Jiang Yongjun were also very close.

To say, this Jiang Yongjun is the concubine of the big house, and the pearl is the maid in the second wife's room. What are the two of them doing so close for no reason?

After being silent for a while, Su Xue asked again: "By the way, who is the maid in the second master's room?" ”

Maybe it's just the maids getting closer.

But Qianrou replied: "There were originally two maids in the second master's room, but later one got dysentery and was sent out of the house. The second master has a gentle temperament and is obedient to everything, the eldest lady did not rearrange the maid for him, and he did not ask for it, until now there is only one Chimo in the room. Chi Moxu has been by the side of the second master for a long time, and he is also silent, he only knows how to bury his head in things, and he doesn't like to talk to others. ”

That's not a matter between maids.

Su Xue turned the pen, Jiang Yongjun and Pearl ......

Unconsciously, she thought about it that way.

Listening to Qianrou, Jiang Yongjun just turned fourteen in the autumn, and when he looks at his age, he is clearly just a little hairy child, but just looking at Jiang Yongjun's appearance, he seems to be sixteen or seventeen years old, at least, he looks much more mature than his uncle Jiang Yonghong.

Could it be that the two of them are really ......

Su Xue thought for a while, her eyes gradually became clearer, she put down the pen in her hand, and said, "Brother Jun is a person from the big house after all. His affairs still have to pass the big wife's level. Pearl is the maid next to the second wife. If she is really bold and reckless, the eldest lady will never be appeased. ”

Qianrou stared and nodded solemnly.

Su Xue has already said very clearly, if she can really catch the pearl here, she can immediately grab the second wife's pigtails, and the eldest lady would rather be humiliated in the snow than insist on returning home, which shows her great determination, once there are signs. I will definitely seize the opportunity to fight hard.

At that time, she will only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Here, the eldest lady took Jiang Yongjun to the old lady to ask for sin, the old lady sat high in the hall, her face was angry, and after the eldest lady finished pleading guilty, she knelt quietly below without saying a word.

If it was the same as the previous temperament of the eldest lady, she would never have been so groveling and begging for perfection, but after this encounter of returning to her parents' house, she gradually understood what she should grasp.

One day she married into Jiangfu as a woman, and there was no turning back. She shouldn't have expected her mother's family to support her in the first place.

There is no shortage of gold and silver, and the mother's family with no money can support her? Not to mention. Today's Fang family can no longer accommodate her.

The eldest lady knelt for a long time, and the old lady coughed twice, reluctantly put down the shelf, and said, "I heard that Brother Jun was also punished with you before, and the good little Langjun used it to toss like this." Don't kneel, get up. ”

"Thank you, Mother." The eldest lady sighed with relief.

The old lady didn't look at the eldest lady again, and was helped by Mother Hu to the main courtyard.

The eldest lady was helped up by Jiang Yongjun, who had suffered some cold in the snow before, and her legs were sore and numb when she knelt slightly.

Jiang Yongjun held her hand tightly, glanced at the old lady's back, and turned back to look at the eldest lady, his eyes full of concern.

The eldest lady gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Help me back, this leg is really not good." ”

Jiang Yongjun bowed his head in response, and while helping the eldest lady to go back, he said: "Tomorrow, the fifth sister will return to Ning, and the child of the Zheng family has already handed over a message, saying that the eldest sister will also come back." ”

In the past two days, the eldest lady was bedridden, and Yan's mother told Jiang Yongjun directly about these trivial matters, so the eldest lady only knew at this time.

"Where's my aunt? Do you want to come along? Although she knew that it would be in vain to ask, the eldest lady still had a glimmer of hope.

But the result is still the same.

"The eldest brother-in-law is not in Beijing right now, so he won't come with him. The fifth sister got married before, and the eldest sister didn't come back in time, so it can be regarded as making up for it when she can come back this time. Jiang Yongjun smiled gently, caught a glimpse of the eldest lady's unhappy face, thought about it, and said, "Actually, the most important thing is to be able to come back to see my mother." ”

The eldest lady sighed and nodded.

On the day of the fifth lady's return, the snow fell one after another, and it did not stop until it was close to noon.

The servants were working hard to clear the snow in front of the door, and the porter Lao Li was calling on the side, and suddenly heard the sound of carriages and horses, and looked up, it was the fifth aunt, Lao Li hurriedly ran in to report.

The second master went out of the house in the snow early in the morning, and the second wife was busy in the front hall ordering her subordinates to buy New Year's goods, so she didn't have that leisure, so only Mother Hu, Aunt Zhao and a few maids went to the corner gate to greet her.

Aunt Zhao took Miss Fifth back to the backyard when she received it, and Mother Hu had to stay to entertain Shen Yifeng, who came with her.

Mother Hu took him to the flower hall and explained: "It's cold this day, and the old lady can't stand the cold, so she waits in the flower hall." If you are negligent, please forgive me for the fifth aunt. ”

Shen Yifeng quickly glanced at the slightly cold Jiang Mansion, a concubine came back to the door, no wonder it was just such treatment.

After thinking about it, he immediately smiled gently at Hu's mother: "Grandmother-in-law has a heart, how can she be lazy?" ”

Mother Hu didn't expect the fifth aunt to be so modest and polite, and she also smiled politely, and her cheeks turned red with a smile.

In the backyard of the young lady, Miao Meng ran into the house briskly like a magpie, opened the curtain and said to Su Xue: "The fifth miss was pulled back to the house by Aunt Zhao after getting out of the carriage, and the little one took a look from a distance, and the fifth miss had a good face and was full of energy. ”

Su Xue was slightly startled, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Not to mention whether the fifth lady's opinion on the Shen family's family affairs will change, but at least, the second son of Shen still has her life to return to the door, and the fifth miss will not have to worry about her life.

Lazily put down the book, glanced at the food box on the desk, and said, "Go and ask the cuckoo to go to the kitchen to get some snacks, remember to get more yam cakes and willow leaf sugar." ”

Miao Meng pursed her lips and looked at Su Xue coquettishly, and asked in a low voice: "Now that Hengzhu is the fifth aunt of our Jiang family, why don't you go and take a look?" ”

Su Xue raised her eyes to see the evil smile on Miaomeng's face, her face suddenly darkened, and she feigned anger and said, "You dare to come to see my joke now, it's amazing!" ”

Miao Meng hurriedly pinched her two earlobes and confessed: "The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare, so let's go and let the cuckoo bring food to the young lady!" ”

After saying that, he flew out again.

Su Xue looked at Miaomeng's back, only smiled wryly and shook her head.

After a while, Miaomeng walked in again with a puzzled face, and muttered, "Huh? Why are the cuckoos gone? I just saw her outside. ”

Su Xue's eyes sank, and then she raised the corner of her mouth and smiled lightly, this second son of Shen has come to the house, and Du Juan is afraid that it has already passed.

"There's no outside, just go to the flower hall to take a look, maybe ...... It's to go along and see the excitement together. Su Xue pretended to say inadvertently.

Miao Meng smiled after hearing this: "What does the young lady mean, the little one can also go over and see the excitement?" ”

Su Xue raised her eyebrows, noncommittal.

Miaomeng laughed twice and said, "It's still important for Miss, the cuckoo is not here, so the little one will go to the kitchen to get some snacks." ”

Su Xue smiled at this time: "You have a little conscience." ”

Miao Mengqiao smiled and went down.

After a while, Su Xue called Qianrou again, and said, "You go to the flower hall to have a look." ”

Qianrou nodded and stepped back.

In the flower hall, the old lady was entertaining Shen Yifeng kindly, and after Shen Yifeng saluted the old lady, he sat on the wooden chair on the west side.

The old lady called for tea, and three or two maids came up with tea.

Shen Yifeng politely took the tea, glanced at the maid serving the tea, and smiled even deeper.

It was the cuckoo who served him tea.

After the cuckoo finished serving the tea, he stood not far behind Shen Yifeng, and the movement was so smooth that it seemed to be like this, and even the old lady didn't notice anything awkward.

The old lady smiled while taking a few sips of tea, and greeted the old man of the Shen family a few words, and Shen Yifeng replied with a light smile, very respectful.

The old lady originally didn't have a good impression of a declining family like the Shen family, but she didn't expect that the second son of the Shen family would be so gentle and polite, no wonder Sister Xuan'er was so fond of the son of the Shen family, it seems that she was narrow-minded before.

Thinking about it, the smile on his face was a little embarrassed: "This year is approaching, and there are many and miscellaneous things in the house, so Jingzhen's marriage was done in a hurry, and the old man is here to make a compensity to Master Shen." But fortunately, the Shen family has a general knowledge, and has not neglected it in the slightest, so as to be decent. ”

Seeing that the old lady was deliberately polite, Shen Yifeng also hurriedly put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Grandmother-in-law is serious, the son-in-law thinks that the marriage with Jingzhen is very smooth and complete, Jingzhen is gentle and virtuous, elegant and decent, and it is a blessing for the third son-in-law to marry her." ”

When the old lady heard this, she slapped her thigh with laughter: "This mouth is sweeter than Brother Jun!" ”

Shen Yifeng's eyebrows squeezed slightly, and he immediately smiled: "Grandmother-in-law, don't laugh at your son-in-law, what your son-in-law says is heartfelt." ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, looking at Shen Yifeng's gaze with a little more appreciation.

The fifth lady's marriage was done in a hurry and hastily, and when she came back, she was just entertained without saltiness. If you were someone else, you would definitely feel that you were treated coldly, and you would put on your face unpleasantly, but this Shen Gongzi could still greet him with a smile, and he could be considered calm.

Regardless of whether he really said everything from the bottom of his heart, at least he did enough etiquette, treated her mother-in-law with great respect, and looked calm when he spoke, neither humble nor arrogant.

This is like a person who can achieve great things.

If it weren't for the fact that the Shen family is really shabby now, the old lady would regret that she didn't marry Sister Xuan, and she cheapened a fifth lady for nothing.

Come whatever you want, here is laughing and talking, and the fifth lady who has whispered to Aunt Zhao over there has also come to the flower hall.

Aunt Zhao and Miss Five walked in one after the other, and when they reached the middle, Miss Five stopped and squatted at the old lady, and shouted, "Grandmother." ”

The voice was clear and with a shallow smile, which showed that Miss Five was in a good mood.

The old lady nodded and raised her hand to signal her to sit down.

Aunt Zhao also bowed and sat on the left side with Miss Five. (To be continued......)
