Yulan walked out of Songhe Hall with the eldest wife and the second wife.

Walking to the intersection, the eldest lady said lukewarmly: "Sister Lan, go to school, don't miss the hour." Yulan saw that the eldest lady's face was not good, so she respectfully agreed, and then turned away to "boudoir school". The eldest lady was obviously dissatisfied with her old lady's complaint, but she had no other way. If Mother Wang's thorn in the flesh is not removed, she will never want to have a good life.

When the eldest lady returned to Yiningju, her face was full of gloom, so frightened that the mother-in-law and girls in the main courtyard held their breath one by one, and they didn't dare to take a breath. I don't know what kind of idleness this ancestor is angry again. A little maid dressed in green armor trembled and held the West Lake Longjing.

The eldest lady took a sip of the tea bowl, and then angrily "snapped" and slammed the cloisonné enamel three gentlemen's tea bowl to the ground, and the tea bowl immediately shattered.

The little maid was half frightened to death, kneeling on the ground and trembling, kowtowing again and again, but she didn't dare to speak. All the maids in the hall "whirred" like wheat blown by the wind, and all knelt on the ground.

The eldest lady was furious: "Damn minion, you want to burn me to death!" I can't even make a cup of tea, what's the use of me keeping you useless things? ”

Listening to the little girls in the courtyard, Mother Wu heard the voice, and knew that the eldest lady lost her temper again, hurriedly picked up the curtain and entered the hall, walked to the back of the chair, stretched out her hand and gently stroked the back of the eldest lady, and while helping her to follow the qi, she persuaded softly: "Mrs. Why should you be angry with this thing, what kind of cheap things are they, and what a noble person you are, it's not worth it to be angry with your body." He turned his head and ordered, "Leave someone to clean up, and let the rest go." that you may come back in at the right time. ”

The maids and maids were pardoned, leaving one to clean up the shards of glass, and the rest quietly retreated. After a while, the girl also left the hall after cleaning the broken porcelain lightly. Wu's mother closed the door.

Mother Wu persuaded a few words, and the eldest lady was somewhat relieved. He casually pointed to a chair for her to sit on. Mother Wu resigned again and again, and finally sat diagonally. The eldest lady sighed: "There is no one in this house and outside the house. How much heart I have worked for this family, the old lady still doesn't like me so much, and uses a bitch to be Zhang Zuozhi to practice me. The old man is only spoiling the fox spirit in the Hefeng Courtyard, what does it mean for me to live? ”

Mother Wu hurriedly persuaded: "Mrs., don't say that." The eldest master is just confused for a while, how many years have you been married to him. When you first got married, the old lady had not yet sat on the first assistant, and life was difficult at that time. Your feelings are there, sooner or later, the lord will understand hello. That Aunt Liu is just relying on her own appearance. It's just a fox to deceive the old man. As the saying goes: Those who use color to do things to others, and those who are in love with color decay. Aunt Liu is also thirty people, and I don't think she will be able to jump for a few years......"

"You don't have to comfort me......" the eldest lady smiled bitterly, "I know it in my heart." Between me and the master, hey...... I don't want to go back to the old days. It's Aunt Liu, this gave birth to a boy and a girl, and her son has grown so big, what can I do with her? I regretted that I didn't listen to my aunt's advice, and took Brother Ye to my name to raise ...... "When Aunt Liu just gave birth to her son, the queen mother asked the eldest lady to raise the child under her own name, but the eldest lady looked down on the slave and maid, and she was cheap, and she only wanted to give birth to a son-in-law by herself. But the eldest lady is too old, and she has a lot of trouble with the eldest master, and the eldest lady simply did not spend the night in the main room, and where did the eldest lady give birth to a son.

"The second young master doesn't have to think about it anymore now. But the third young master, Mrs., you can't hesitate any longer. Be sure to tell the master to write him in your name. You don't think about others, you have to think about the eldest girl and the eighth girl. The mother's family has the support of her brother and brother, and the girls can stand up to the in-laws. ”

The eldest lady said excitedly, "I understand everything. It's not that I haven't talked to the master before, but the master has a good plan to write Brother Ye and Brother Zong together in my name. Hmph, let me recognize that fox son as a son-in-law, dream! ”

Mother Wu nodded and said, "I'm afraid that the lotus wind courtyard is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I don't know how much pillow wind is blowing in the ears of the eldest master." It's a good calculation, the second young master is the eldest son of the big house, if he becomes the eldest son again, then won't this huge family business belong to their mother and son in the future"

The eldest lady said sadly: "I can't help it." As soon as I mentioned Brother Zong'er, the lord took that Brother Ye was the eldest son, and there was no reason to skip the eldest son and choose the younger son, and said that Brother Zong was not raised by me, what can I say......"

Mother Wu sighed together, and after thinking for a while, she thought about it for a while before she said: "It's not impossible, as long as Brother Zong gets fame first, Mrs. will have a mouth." ”

The eldest lady patted the arm of the chair excitedly, "You can do this well." If Brother Zong can win this time, then it will be easy to say. It's just that I heard that Brother Ye was scolded by the master when he fell back on the list, but he has made a lot of progress this year. The gentleman also praised him for his good articles. If he also hits this time, wouldn't we have planned it in vain? ”

Mother Wu smiled: "Mrs., why worry about it. Brother Ye has us around him, and it's not easy for us to help him gain fame, and if we want to drag him back, it's not easy......"

The eldest lady was overjoyed: "Say yes, say yes!" Or do you want to be thoughtful. Even if there is no such thing as Brother Zong'er, it can't make their mother and son happy. He grabbed Wu's mother's hand and said, "Thanks to my aunt, she felt sorry for me and rewarded you to me, otherwise I really don't know how this family would have gained a foothold." ”

Mother Wu hurriedly humbled: "Mrs., where are you talking, it is all Mrs. Blessing, where do I have any credit." It's the Queen Mother who loves you. She has no daughter, and she has always treated you as her own daughter. As long as the Queen Mother is still in the day, no one can bully you. Even the old lady wants to give you three points. ”

The eldest lady sighed: "Although my aunt is the queen mother, she can't control the affairs of the inner courtyard of this mansion after all." Besides, there are a lot of things in the palace, the status of the prince is not stable, and it is not easy for the aunt...... A few days ago, she made an old mistake again, and I don't know if she is getting better now? Although I am her niece, there are so many things at home, and it is not easy to enter the palace. ”

"Just relax." Mother Wu comforted: "The Queen Mother is a star in the sky, and she is protected by a hundred spirits, this idea is a small illness and a small disaster, so many doctors have to be used in the palace, and it won't take long to get better." ”

The eldest lady also hurriedly comforted herself: "You said yes, my aunt is not a mortal, so she can naturally turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious." But we should plan well and never let that fox succeed again. Brother Zong is a self-motivated, and he reads and knows how to work hard, but you must ask someone to serve him well, you must not get sick at this juncture, you will go to the kitchen and tell Zhang Caijia that the fourth young master must be careful in his diet. Something went wrong, and I asked her. As for the people around him, you must always mention it, you must be mentally strong, and you must not distract him from his mind and mistake his big things. ”

The eldest lady gave an order, and Wu's mother agreed yes.

The eldest lady pondered for a moment and said, "See if it's necessary, Brother Zong also has a few subordinates around him, and it is only natural for his mother to give a few subordinates to his concubine......" The eldest lady has made a lot of efforts in recent years in order to hold Brother Zong'er's heart, for fear that he will become suspicious, and even the people around him have not changed.

"Don't, don't!" Mother Wu hurriedly objected, "It's too late for you to dig out your heart and lungs for him now, how can you ...... In case there is a gap between mother and son, it will be difficult to repair it. I see that Brother Zong is a grateful person, you are good to him now, and he will not forget you in the future. ”

The eldest lady sighed tiredly, "It's not that I crawled out of my stomach, it's always a layer apart." "In her life, she has suffered losses without her son.

Lifting her spirits, the eldest lady said again: "Where is the second young master?" Seeing that the boy is going to take the test, the people in the house are afraid that it will not be enough. Pick four more girls and send them, if they want to be so lively, there is no suitable one in the house, so I asked the manager of the outer courtyard to take the silver to buy it. You might as well pick out the words and tell them that whoever serves the second young master well, I will promote her to be the second young master. There are eight small guys around him, if there are not suitable for him, he will change a few, always find the kind of flexible heart and eye that can please the second young master, and can play with the second young master, if they lack money playthings, you can give them to them, don't wronged them...... I'll leave this matter to you, yes! ”

Mother Wu hurriedly responded, "A few days ago, Steward Zhang just bought back a batch of girls, all of whom came out of the Teaching Workshop Division, and many of them were originally official eunuchs, but they were punished as official slaves because of bad things at home. I see that there are a few good looks, and they must be suitable......" and said with a smile: "Your trick really caught Aunt Liu by seven inches." Aunt Liu has always wanted to get a few people out, but the second young master is a pity and cherishes jade, and no one agrees. Because this mother and son have quarreled several times......"

The eldest lady smiled happily. "Do you really think you're the master? She can also manage the affairs in the young master's room? If you want to say that there is a man in this world, who is not lustful......" Wu's mother laughed along.

The two planned again, remembering today's events, the eldest lady asked Wu's mother: "You also saw it today, what does the old lady mean, why did Kubala think of lifting our seven girls?" Could it be that this little hoof took advantage of our inattention to please the old lady? "Mother Wu has been following the eldest lady and has seen today's scene clearly, but the old lady has no part in her speech.

Mother Wu shook her head and said, "There is Mother Wang, you don't know everything about her every move." I haven't seen her see the old lady alone! What's more, the old lady has a good temperament, and hatred is the fox that charms the Lord. When Sister Lan's biological mother entered the house, the old lady hadn't even seen her a few times, which time did she give her a good face? It's just that this time the old lady's behavior is really incomprehensible. The old lady spoke to her politely and detachedly, not like she really cherished her......"

The eldest lady nodded in agreement: "That's right." This old lady is really getting older and more confused. She doesn't care about so many pickled things of the master, she only cares about the distressed fifth master all day long, likes the fifth daughter-in-law, and her sick son, which really makes people angry when they look at it......"

Mother Wu hurriedly persuaded: "Oh, my wife, you can't say this!" The lord is not of the same heart as you, not to mention the second wife and Aunt Liu, who have been waiting to find fault with you, if they let them give you a "filial piety and disrespect" hat, even the queen mother will not be able to speak for you. ”

The eldest lady was angry for a long time, and she also felt that Mother Wu was reasonable: "What should you do?" ”

Mother Wu said: "Whatever the old lady says, we will do." They can't pick it out at all. As long as you are not wrong, then your position is as stable as Mount Tai. ”

The eldest lady said, "What about Sister Lan?" ”

Mother Wu sighed, the eldest lady is too small-minded. "Zuo is just a concubine, and she has a marriage in your hands. It's not up to you to be nice or bad to her, since the old lady commanded it, there is no need to take it too hard. What do you say? What's more, when I looked, the Seventh Girl seemed to have opened her mind, and she was suddenly able to speak. Although the old lady sued Wang's mother in front of her, she tried her best to excuse you, and she is also a ...... who knows the times."

The eldest lady remembered Yulan's performance today, her expression was a little softened, but she was still a little unhappy and said: "Hmph, if you really know the current affairs, you won't sue in front of the old lady." ”

Wu's mother said: "I think I was pinched hard, but I had no choice, so I had to fight." After suffering so much, whoever puts it aside will find an opportunity to sue. Wang's mother did go a little too far. If it goes on like this, the whole house will look at it, and you won't be able to get over it, right? ”

The eldest lady nodded: "You have a point." In this case, let's do what the old lady says, and first make up for her short-lost money and clothes. As long as she doesn't bother me in the future, I don't bother to pay attention to her. ”

Mother Wu complimented: "Mrs. is really a bodhisattva, what should Mother Wang do?" ”

The eldest lady said: "Leave it to Mother Li, give her a good reprimand, let her restrain a little, and send it back to Lu Jingzhai on an errand, if there is any movement over there and tell her to report it in time." "Mother Li is another right-hand man next to Mrs. Wu, and Mother Wu is different from leaving home and following Mrs. Wu, she and Mrs. Li grew up together since childhood, and their feelings are different. Because Wu's mother is resourceful and does things properly, and she is the queen mother's reward, it is logical to replace Li's mother's position, so Li's mother has always hated Wu's mother.

Mother Wang and Mother Li are close to each other...... When Wu's mother heard that she had handed over the person to her, she moved her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

After a few more discussions, Wu's mother went out of the upper room to pass the word.
