Pearl was still indignant, Jiang Yongjun raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of her ruthless appearance, he couldn't help but twist his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Okay, Qianrou's side is already in order, you can go to your mother's side to help out more when you have nothing to do, and there are a lot of things to prepare for the birthday banquet, you can do some chores from the side." ”

The more Jiang Yongjun looked at Pearl's face, the more uncomfortable he became, but it was inconvenient to express the disgust in his heart, so he thought of a way to send Pearl to do something else.

Pearl thought that the second master arranged for her to go to the eldest lady's side to help, thinking that she would leave a good impression on the eldest lady.

In this way, it seems that the second master is quite long-term for her.

Pearl couldn't help but steal joy in her heart, squatted down, and said in a sweet voice: "Yes, the slave will go over." ”

Pearl Fang was still glaring at Qianrou for being a little slut, but after a short while, her face immediately changed.

Jiang Yongjun forcibly suppressed the disgust in his heart, nodded and said, "Well, go ahead." ”

Pearl lowered her head and took two steps, suddenly stopped, lifted her eyelids and glanced at Jiang Yongjun again, wanting to see if he had reluctance in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yongjun only looked away with heavy eyes, as if he was pondering something.

Pearl's face froze, and she pursed her lips and retreated.

The bowl of raw Banxia medicine that Qianrou was poured was so powerful that not only was she speechless, but even her sense of taste disappeared.

Qianrou didn't show the slightest abnormality, but Su Xue always knew it.

Su Xue also prescribed a few prescriptions for Miaomeng to boil for Qianrou to drink, but after three or two days, the effect was still mediocre.

Only then did Su Xue really understand that some injuries are irreversible, and the oral vocal cords are all damaged. Rao is Hua Tuo alive. There is nothing that can be done.

Qianrou wanted to hide it. Su Xue didn't say it directly, but quietly told Miao Meng not to talk more.

On the day of Feng's birthday, Su Xue went to greet the old lady early.

The old lady's complexion was much better than before, but she still didn't want to get out of bed and go out of the room.

This house is being tossed by the eldest lady into a miasma, and the old lady wants to hide in the house, out of sight and out of mind.

Su Xue asked Ann, and the old lady asked her to stay with her for breakfast.

The old lady at the dinner table didn't say much, but she said it. Every sentence is complaining that the juniors don't give her a safe life.

Su Xue knew that the old lady was cold.

The eldest son has soft ears, and he is allowed to be rounded and flattened by the eldest wife. That's fine, the heart is there, and it's useless to complain.

But who would have thought that the second son, who had high hopes, also disobeyed her, and the matter of entering Beijing to serve was repeatedly delayed......

Su Xue just listened quietly, reassuring from time to time.

And today is Feng's birthday, and Su Xue has never mentioned it.

Out of the old lady's courtyard, Su Xue did not go back to the room directly, but went straight to Rongde Hall.

Outside, there are two maids guarding on the left and right. Seeing that it was Su Xuelai, one of them went in and reported.

The second master has always been informal. is honest and generous, but today there are two maids guarding outside Rongde Hall, and they are so mysterious.

Su Xue narrowed her eyes and stepped aside to wait quietly, it seemed that she was right.

After a while, Narcissus came out, and he was still very kind and wanted to invite Su Xue to go in immediately, but seeing that Su Xue was followed by Miaomeng and Qianrou, the corners of Narcissus couldn't help but stiffen the corners of her lips.

After what happened last time, Su Xue became more and more trembling, and she didn't dare to leave Qianrou alone.

But Narcissus's embarrassment Su Xue could understand, so she turned around and told them to stay outside.

Narcissus was greatly relieved, and led Su Xue inside, the lobby was empty, and Narcissus took Su Xue into two small doors before seeing the second master.

At that time, the second master was dressed in plain clothes, sitting on a wooden chair and staring directly at a picture scroll on the desk in front of him.

Narcissus opened his mouth and said, "The third lady is here." ”

The second master is still unheard.

Narcissus bowed and retreated.

Su Xue looked at the second master, his face was a little haggard, as if he hadn't slept well for a few days and nights.

Su Xue lowered her head and looked at the picture scroll on the desk again, there was nothing special about the picture scroll, just an ordinary freehand landscape, but Su Xue took a closer look and felt that the mountain trees in the painting seemed to be a little unusual.

It is not like the mountain trees in Jizhou, but more like the ...... in Jiangsu and Zhejiang

Presumably it was painted by the second master when Feng was alive in the ancestral house in Jiangnan.

Su Xue thought quietly, her eyes gradually dimmed, and I don't know how long it took before the second master shook his clothes and got up.

"Have you gone to say hello to your grandmother? How is she recovering? Although the second master was barely trying to get up, his voice was still a little tired.

Su Xue came back to her senses and replied, "I just came from my grandmother's yard, and my grandmother is recovering well......"

She didn't dare to say that the old lady still complained about him for going to work.

But the second master also knew it, he was silent, and sighed with a boo: "Su Xue, maybe there are some things that you and grandmother can't understand, but being a father also has a hard ......."

"My daughter knows, and my daughter understands." Su Xue immediately made her position clear.

The second master's face paused slightly, and finally smiled bitterly, and said, "You have also grown up, and your father does not want to tell you many things, but you can also understand." When your mother was alive, your grandmother did not like her, and she was very disgusted and made things difficult in every way...... Even if he died, he didn't have a good word......"

The second master's voice was a little sluggish.

"Over the years, my father has silently sacrificed to your mother, she was wronged in life, and she is still so wronged after death...... Since ancient times, filial piety and righteousness have been in a dilemma, I can't be unfilial, but I have lost the husband and wife kindness with her......"

The tip of Su Xue's nose was slightly sour, and she couldn't help but shout softly: "Father......"

The second master's eyes were moist, and he said: "It is not appropriate to go far away when fasting, and entering Beijing to serve must inevitably be officialdom wine and meat. ”

"But fortunately, there is still Su Xue, you can understand as a father." Speaking of this, the second master's gaze softened a little.

Su Xue smiled tearfully and said, "My daughter used to be stubborn and often embarrassed her father, but now I feel remorseful, and my father has suffered a lot of grievances for his daughter and mother. The daughter is inconsiderate. Who will understand? ”

The second master's eyes were red. Tears rolled and turned in her eyes, she couldn't bear to flow out, looked at Su Xue and smiled with relief: "Sister Xue is sensible, Qin'er, our Sister Xue is sensible......"

Looking at the appearance of the second master, Su Xue was very moved, and only thought in her heart, if the Feng family was still alive. How nice would that be?

When Su Xue left Rongde Hall, it was already warm outside, and the warm sunlight illuminated the big jujube tree outside Rongde Hall, and the larks in the sky seemed to feel the liveliness here, and flew over from above from time to time.

The eldest lady was busy counting the boxes of colored silk that she had just bought.

There are many glamorous and decent guests who came to celebrate the birthday this time, and the eldest lady made up her mind to arrange it even if it was said to be extravagant, so that those nobles were impressed.

The process of the birthday banquet has been thought out by the eldest lady, there is a song and dance first, and at the end of the song and dance, Jiang Yongjun and the second lady will launch a big birthday peach. Then came the feast, after which the guests were invited to the hall to listen to the play.

But there is no ready-made stage in Jiangfu. The eldest lady made the decision to set up a temporary one on the side of the courtyard of the big house.

The actors invited are all famous actors in Beijing, of course, the eldest lady handed over this matter to the eldest lady, and Mrs. Hou has more face after all.

Seeing that the stage had just been set up, and there was a shortage of colored silk in the house, the eldest lady had already bought the colorful silk back, but she still had to pretend to call Aunt Zhao and ask about the accounts in the house.

Aunt Zhao knew that the eldest lady meant that she wanted to embezzle the money in the house to buy a birthday banquet.

But she just received the account book, and she didn't dare to make a claim, and the old lady was not very happy with the eldest lady's birthday banquet, and Aunt Zhao didn't dare to make her own opinions.

The eldest lady looked at Aunt Zhao's shabby little family appearance, couldn't help sneering, called Yan's mother, deliberately raised her voice, and said, "Didn't my brother divide thirty silverware stores to me?" You go and ask Manager Zhang, how much money is coming in these days, and it won't be a problem to move 7,000 taels over, right? ”

Aunt Zhao's face changed when she heard this, as soon as this eldest lady opened her mouth, it was seven thousand taels, really that the silver was water, and it could flow over casually?

It was also at this time that Aunt Zhao realized that the eldest lady came to her to ask if she really wanted to embezzle the money in the house, but just wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate her.

Yan's mother puffed up her tone and said in a high voice: "As far as the eldest lady, you are thrifty, what is seven thousand taels, even if it is thirty or twenty thousand, it can be moved over there!" ”

The eldest lady's face stiffened after hearing this, and she turned back to Yan's mother and winked.

The Fang family's shop was divided by the sister-in-law's cheap woman, which was already very devastated and the eldest brother only gave her thirty silverware shops, and the amount of 30,000 taels was not impossible to give, but she couldn't bear to be so extravagant.

When Aunt Zhao heard 30,000 taels, her face turned pale and pale.

The eldest lady showed off a few more words before sending Aunt Zhao back.

Aunt Zhao patted her heart while walking back, she had heard that the Fang family was wealthy, and she thought that now that she was a little defeated, she would be reined in, but she didn't expect it to be so arrogant.

The eldest lady thought that she had slapped Aunt Zhao a few times with the silver money, and she was proud, but unexpectedly, Jade hurriedly ran over and said to her: "Big lady, eldest lady, she ...... it."

"Miss?" The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sit up straight, "What's wrong with the eldest lady?" ”

The eldest lady is good at raising a baby in Beijing, what can she do?

Before Jade finished speaking, Lao Li, the porter over there, also hurriedly came in to report: "Big lady, big lady is here!" ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she stood up with joy, waved her handkerchief and said, "Then what are you still doing?" Hurry up and put down the work in your hand and go out to greet the eldest lady and the marquis! ”

Although neither the porter nor Jade said that Hou Ye also came, the eldest lady just acquiesced.

She thought that the eldest lady was going to come over in advance to celebrate her birthday, which made her very happy, and Yan's mother helped her to walk out happily.

But who expected that as soon as she walked a few steps, the eldest lady had already arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. She was draped in a large dark green feather, supported by a magpie harrier, and her steps were very hurried.

The eldest lady was about to tell the eldest lady to walk slowly, and carefully slid her feet, but before she could speak, the eldest lady whimpered and cried out to her, "Mother......"

The eldest lady was stunned, and the eldest lady's cry seemed to be a sad cry.

The magpie harrier on the side also cried and red-eyed, and helped the eldest lady to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was stunned, raised her eyes and swept the back, and didn't even see a superfluous servant coming with her, let alone Zheng Tingxuan. (To be continued......)
