Wang's mother walked out of the study with her front feet, and the two big girls hurriedly ran into the study, and Xiaoyue came in and asked, "Girl, she has been fooled!" ”

Yulan said with a smile: "Miss Ben is out of the horse, how can there be no one!" He lowered his face and reprimanded: "Look at your floating appearance, you can't hold your breath at all, how can I rest assured that I will leave important things to you to do in the future." Look at Xiaoyu, how steady. ”

Xiaoyu blushed: "Girl, I'm also worried!" ”

Yulan stretched comfortably, blinked her eyes, and comforted the two big girls: "Don't worry, with Mother Wang's temperament, she will definitely be fooled this time!" You just wait and see the show. ”

One morning, Xiaoyue had something on her mind and was restless, although Xiaoyu was calmer than her, she was also a little uneasy about doing things. Yulan couldn't cry or laugh when she saw it, although the two maids were a year or two older than her, after all, they were still two underage children, although they were smart, they still lacked the Taishan in front of the child and did not change the color of the city.

She didn't say anything anymore, geniuses are not born geniuses, jade can't be cut, no matter how good the qualifications are, they need to be slowly honed.

The two maids saw Yulan sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and still calmly copying and writing, and they couldn't help but admire it. With the backbone, the restlessness slowly calmed down.

In a blink of an eye, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the little maid suddenly came to report that Xinghuang was coming next to the old lady. The three masters and servants immediately looked at each other.

During this time, Yulan was confined to his home and did not leave the hospital. Xinghuang came over every five days to copy the Buddhist scriptures from Yulan and bring them back to Songhe Hall. She came at a very fixed time, usually around Shen Zheng, at that time, Yulan had lunch and happened to take a nap.

Why did you pick this time to come over today? Since he is here, he must take away the scriptures together, so wouldn't Yulan's arrangement for Wang's mother be in the soup?

Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu both looked nervous, and asked worriedly, "Girl, what should I do?" ”

Yulan's face froze and said, "What are you panicking about?" Follow me out to meet Sister Xinghuang! Don't show a different color on your face. ”

The two maids agreed, followed Yulan out of the hall together, and descended to greet each other. The greetings between the two sides have been completed. Yulan smiled and asked, "Why did my sister come at this hour, don't you think that Songhetang is tired of eating, so she wants to go to my small place to eat." ”

Xinghuang laughed as he spoke. Yulan and her often meet, how many difficult characters were handled by Yulan when she was doing sales in her previous life, a little girl with a good temperament and temperament naturally comes and goes, and she is very familiar with it. Just kidding, nothing to say.

Xinghuang smiled: "This is what the girl said, I can write it down." It's not going to happen today, I must find a time to bother in the future, and the girl must not admit it when the time comes. ”

Yulan asked: "What is it for today?" ”

Xinghuang said: "I was instructed by the old lady to invite the girl to come over and have dinner together?" ”

Yulan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”

Xinghuang explained: "There is nothing bad about the old lady these days, but her appetite is not very good, and she only eats half a bowl of two rice at noon for a few days, and Su's mother and I are very anxious." Or Su's mother is old-fashioned, thinking that the girl is ** knowledgeable, thoughtful and thoughtful, every time she finishes talking to the old lady, she always has to be happy for a while, I want to invite you to eat with the old lady, the two grandparents and grandchildren talk, live and live the atmosphere, and the old lady can also enter a little more. Thinking that the girl was still grounded, Su's mother gave the old lady, and then sent me to invite the girl over. ”

After hearing this, Yulan nodded and said, "In this case, sister, please come into the hall and sit down, have a cup of tea, and I will change my clothes and go over with you." ”

asked Xiaoyue to lead Xinghuang into the hall, and she took Xiaoyu into the inner bedroom to change clothes. I changed into a jade-colored spring silk jacket, brought a pair of old ladies to the red gold dotted emerald bracelets, and inserted a lighter gold and silver hairpin, which was also rewarded by the old lady. I looked through the brass mirror, and although it was a little cleaner, it was also decent and generous. Thinking back and forth, the old lady really appreciates a lot of jewelry. Only then did he leave the bedroom satisfied.

Yulan's bedroom and study are next to each other. Although it is small, it is complete, the middle room is a hall house, used to entertain guests, the east room is arranged as a study, the east room is the Yulan bedroom, and the west room is the dining room.

Yulan walked out of the bedroom and entered the study. At that time, there was no stapler, and the scriptures that were copied on weekdays were carefully bound into thin booklets by Xiaoyu with threads and placed on the bookcase. Every five days, Yulan was able to copy out three pamphlets.

Yulan picked up three booklets and put the top one back on the table. Yulan has already copied the "Lotus Sutra", the Buddhist scriptures are copied next to each other, leaving one copy next to the last copy, without this one, it will not be able to connect with the last time.

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, obviously understanding her gaze.

Yulan smiled slightly when he saw it, and said in a low voice: "You stay, take a good look at the home, what do you do?" ”

Xiaoyu also said in a low voice: "Zhilu Dao, I will stay in the study all the time, and keep it until you and Sister Xinghuang come back, Mother Wang can't take this Ruyi." ”

Yulan nodded and didn't say anything, and went back to the hall. Xinghuang saw that Yulan had changed her clothes like this, and couldn't help nodding secretly, the seventh girl really acted in order. It's not good to go to see the old lady without changing her clothes, but it's not good to ask the old lady to wait too long.

So Yulan took Xiaoyue, talked and laughed with Xinghuang all the way, and arrived at Songhe Hall.

The old lady's dinner is placed in the west room, and the old people of the general big family like to be lively, the old lady rarely leaves her children and grandchildren to eat in Songhetang, not so much that the old lady has a quiet temperament, but that she is arrogant and arrogant, and even a little eccentric.

It was also the first time for Yulan to dine alone with the old lady, and a lacquered dining table was placed by the window in the west room, on which seven or eight sets of enamel plates, plates, and bowls were placed. Several golden silk smokers emit bursts of rich agarwood, which makes people feel calm.

Yulan carefully helped the old lady to take a seat, and when she saw that the bowls and plates were clasped with silver lids, she opened them one by one. Roasted chicken with spring bamboo shoots, shredded young leek breast, bird's nest porridge...... Six dishes and two soups, as well as all kinds of dim sum, not too much, but there are meat and vegetarian, reasonable collocation, it is rare that each dish is very delicate and good-looking, which makes people have an appetite at first sight. It reflects the high level of Yang's kitchen.

Yulan secretly sighed that power is a good thing in any era. She can't eat such delicate food in Lu Jingzhai.

A table of precious ingredients, but the old lady is cowardly and has no appetite.

On the other hand, Su's mother squeezed her eyes at Yulan and slapped her eyes.

Yulan took a pair of long chopsticks from Su's mother's hand, stood aside to step on the dishes, and explained with a pair of chopsticks, this taste is special, that nourishes and nourishes people, this one looks good, and that smells fragrant. Her voice was sweet and crisp, with a hint of coldness, and her tone was firm and convincing. said such a flattering remark, but there was no flattery at all, and the old lady was slowly amused by her, and laughed.

The old lady said, "You can also sit and eat together!" Just have them, you are my granddaughter, there are no rules. ”

Yulan excused himself and sat down, and asked with a smile: "I heard that the emperor took pity on Grandpa's hard work and specially rewarded two imperial chefs, so he ...... in the small kitchen of Songhetang" That is, the old lady can enjoy such glory with the old lady, even the eldest lady does not have such a blessing.

Mother Su explained with a smile: "Isn't this table of dishes the handiwork of Master Zhang and Master Li in the palace!" ”

Yulan first showed a surprised expression, and then made a proud appearance: "It's strange that it's so good-looking, and it's so delicious!" Then I'm stained with my grandmother today. These people are all cooks for the emperor! ”

This was so pleasing to the delight that the old lady laughed and said, "What a child! ”

There was someone to talk and laugh, and the old lady ate two more bowls of rice. After eating, I ate a cup of tea, according to the usual rules, I wanted to take a nap, but Yulan proposed to take a stroll in the yard.

Yulan had to explain it again through medical theory, and the central meaning was: resting immediately after eating is not conducive to digestion.

The old lady was also as good as a stream, so she was supported by Mother Su and walked around the courtyard of Songhetang. Yulan accompanied, talked with each other, said a few words, and then went around to the old lady was interested in the Buddhist scriptures.

Talking about Buddhism and Zen machines, among all the granddaughters of the old lady, only Yulan has this ability. Yulan has indeed worked this, reading all kinds of Buddhist classics without anything, and integrating more or less memories of her previous life, her perception of the world is naturally very different from this era, and it is the way to say it.

The old lady became interested, returned to the east room and sat on the Luohan couch, and discussed with Yulan non-stop. Yulan finally found an opportunity to ask Xinghuang to bring the copied scriptures.

He took it and flipped through it, immediately hung his head in shame, and pleaded: "There are three books in total." The granddaughter was negligent for a while, and she forgot about the continuation of the book, and asked her grandmother to punish her! ”

The old lady nodded disapprerovingly: "Everyone has a nap, I just need to take a nap, just ask Xinghuang to follow you to get it." ”

Yulan was overjoyed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and after leaving the old lady, she took Xinghuang Xiaoyue and walked to Lu Jingzhai. On the way, he sent Xiaoyue back to report the news, "Go ahead, go to the study to find the remaining copy of the scriptures, don't let Sister Xinghuang wait for a long time." He took the apricot yellow to set up the young lady's shelf, and moved back one small step at a time.

Xinghuang was not suspicious.

Seeing that Lu Jingzhai had arrived, Yulan was also slightly nervous in her heart, and she didn't know how Lu Dao Xiaoyu and their side were progressing.

The courtyard of Lu Jingzhai was quiet, there was no figure, the two of them entered the courtyard gate with their front feet, and Wang's mother came out of the hall with their hind feet, hurried, with a sneaky face, and carefully held a cotton silk burden in her arms, which was bulging and could vaguely see the wishful look.

"Mother Wang? What are you doing? Yulan pretended to look surprised.

Mother Wang was taken aback when she saw Xinghuang beside Yulan, and secretly thought that if the old lady knew the truth, this thing would not be possible, so she said hesitantly: "I'll go to the girl's study to get something!" ”

Xinghuang also glanced at Wang's mother in surprise, something was wrong with her, and she could see it by herself.

"Get something from my study? What to take? When did I let you come to my study to pick up something? Didn't you say that I wasn't allowed to enter my study from time to time? Yulan's face immediately sank.

Mother Wang was suddenly a little stunned, "Girl...... It's not you and just ...... This thing...... Give me ......" I couldn't say a word.

Wang's mother didn't realize the seriousness of the matter until now, and thought that Yulan was afraid that the matter would be exposed and abandoned the car to protect the handsome, but she didn't expect that Yulan had set a trap and waited for her to drill in.

Yulan's face had turned pale. At this moment, Xiaoyu and Xiaoyue heard the voice and had already come out of the upside-down room, and the mother-in-law and little girls also appeared out of nowhere one by one. Everyone looked at Wang's mother in surprise.

Yulan said coldly: "What do you all do to eat, in broad daylight, you don't know that someone has stolen something?" ”

When Wang's mother heard this, she felt that her head was "buzzing".

Yulan said loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you take down this bold old slave with me!" ”

The two strong and sturdy mothers-in-law glanced at each other, stepped forward together, and reached out to grab Wang's mother's arm. When Wang's mother was in power, she beat and scolded them a lot, and it was the time when there were grievances, complaints, and revenge.

Mother Wang's shoulder, she was so obscene and coercious, and the two mothers-in-law didn't dare to do it for a while. Mother Wang shouted, "Seventh girl, what do you mean by this......"

Yulan shouted angrily at the two mothers-in-law: "It's against her!" Don't do it yet! ”

The two mothers-in-law did not hesitate anymore, one left and one right took Wang's mother, Xiaoyu took Ruyi and handed it to Yulan. Yulan shook off the burden and revealed the white jade Ruyi.

Yulan's face turned crimson with anger: "Mother Wang, you are really bold, you dare to steal your grandmother's reward for me with white jade Ruyi." Now that people have stolen goods, what else do you have to say? ”

Wang's mother didn't faintly understand that she had been calculated. Where are you willing to be convinced, while struggling desperately, she shouted: "Seventh girl, what are you trying to do to me, obviously you said it, and gave me this wishful thinking for the time being......"

"What are you?" Xiaoyue immediately interrupted her, "That white jade Ruyi is so precious, I can't find a few pieces in the mansion, you are a subordinate, why should the girl give it to you?" You were caught stealing something, and not only did you not repent, but you also bit your master. I've never seen a mother like you! ”

Xiaoyue's words were sonorous and powerful, and Wang's mother was immediately choked speechless. I regretted it in my heart, how could I be fooled by this vicious little girl, and even she was a little strange.

Xinghuang also showed a look of disdain, thinking that Wang's mother was really a little lame in finding this excuse.

Mother Wang has already scolded: "Seventh girl, I have no grievances with you, what are you trying to do to harm me!" ”

"I was wronged!"

"Little slut, you are so poisonous!"

……

Yulan frowned when she heard this: "Don't block her mouth yet, escort her to the West Wing, and wait for me to understand the fate of the old lady." Isn't that shameful enough? ”

The two mothers-in-law listened, and no longer dared to slack off, wiped their shoulders and put their heads together and cut Wang's mother's arms, someone handed a rope to tie her two arms together, and someone handed a towel over and stuffed it into Wang's mother's mouth, Wang's mother screamed and scolded, and then was escorted into the west wing.

Yulan instructed people to look at it, and called Xiaoyue to ask: "I asked you to come back to find the scriptures, why did you run to the upside-down room?" To do a full set of plays, Xiaoyue was also clever, and immediately said: "The girl asked me to find a scripture, and I found it as soon as I came back!" - It's all Wang's mother, who said that she was going to make a pair of shoes for the girl, and asked me to find a pair of shoes for her, so I went back to the inverted room to find ......."

Several girls in the courtyard also immediately stood up and corrected: "We are also all supported by Mother Wang!" Several people saw that Wang's mother was sneaky all day long, and kept looking at the door of the hall - it was also Wang's mother who couldn't hold her breath.

This is to confirm the charge of Wang's mother.

Yulan's face turned pale: "This old minion is too bold!" He turned to Xinghuang again, and said with a face full of shame: "I didn't discipline my subordinates strictly, which caused such a daring slave in the courtyard, which made my sister laugh!" ”

Xinghuang comforted her in turn: "Girl, don't say that, you don't know your heart, you don't know your heart, and there are some people in the slaves who don't know the rules." It's all commonplace, and I finally didn't lose anything! ”

"Sister doesn't know why!" told Xinghuang that Wang's mother and son owed a large amount of gambling debts, and the matter was long and short.

Xinghuang nodded frequently when he heard this: No wonder he dared to take such a risk.

Yulan said at the end: "I should have invited my sister to the house for a cup of tea, but now that something has happened, I don't have the face to keep you!" Asked Xiaoyue to take the scripture and hand it to Xinghuang, "I'm still grounded, the old lady doesn't summon, and I can't leave this small courtyard." Please ask my sister to help me pass a message, and ask the old lady to show me what to do with this old woman. ”

Xinghuang didn't dare to slack off, took the scriptures and turned back to Songhetang to report the news. After a while, he turned back again, "Old lady, please come over." ”

So Yulan turned back to Songhetang, and knelt down to apologize to the old lady when he entered the east door, "There is such an unruly thing among the subordinates, it is the granddaughter's usual poor discipline, please punish the grandmother." ”

After waiting for a long time and there was no movement above, Yulan raised his head and glanced at Lu Shang. I saw the old lady sitting cross-legged on the arhat couch, fiddling with a string of sandalwood prayer beads in her hand, with no sadness or joy on her face, and no expression could be seen. It's just a faint light flashing in a pair of old cloudy eyes.

Yulan hurriedly lowered her head, only to feel a cold current rising from her spine.

After a long time, a voice finally floated down from above: "Your mother just happened to be out of home, this is really a coincidence!" Yulan rushed to do it at this time, just to use the old lady's momentum to get rid of Wang's mother. If the eldest lady's house leaves a Wang mother, she will immediately send another mother over, and the result can only be a busy work. It is too natural for the mother-in-law to take care of things in the maid's room. Only when the old lady speaks can the eldest lady shut up.

Yulan and the old lady are both bright in their hearts, and it is good for smart people to speak, and everyone knows it without needing to point it out.

The old lady is obviously not without suspicion!

Yulan's heart was racing, and she gritted her teeth and said, "My granddaughter has no choice!" Ask the grandmother to call the shots for her granddaughter. ”

The old lady plucked her rosary hand for a moment, carefully savoring the meaning of the words, Yulan raised her head and looked at her, her eyes were exceptionally clear. The old lady smiled suddenly, "I know it's not easy for you!" Forget it, get up, it's not a big deal. Tell me, what do you want? ”

Yulan secretly screamed that it was dangerous, it seems that she was right to bet, this grandmother is a master of rewards and punishments, so don't play tricks in front of her. I really underestimated her before.

Think about it too. Don't look at the old lady who is not inconspicuous, but she is by no means deceitful. But seeing that she can clean up the niece of the Queen Mother and the concubine of the Guogong Mansion, you can see how shrewd and powerful she is.

Don't say it at this time, when to wait, Yulan immediately said without hesitation: "Mother Wang is arrogant and domineering, bullying the weak and bullying the young, so the slave granddaughter really doesn't want it!" ”

The old lady nodded, and at this time, the question should have meaning, "Since I have promised to call the shots for you, this idea will naturally be done." Okay, Xinghuang, you go and inform Chang's mother and ask her to deal with this matter. Directly pull to the second door to hit twenty boards, and bring her to Zhuangzi, without my consent, no one is allowed to take her back! Also, ask all the people in Yining House to watch. "Mother Chang is also an old mother next to the old lady, and she used to be in charge of the affairs of the house, so she naturally did this kind of thing handy.

Yulan was slightly stunned, the old lady didn't even ask Mother Wang, and directly convicted her! What does this mean? Moreover, the punishment is indeed not light. The execution in the house is a very thick board, the old lady personally gave the order, no one dared to show mercy, twenty boards to beat, will definitely shed a layer of skin. And if all the subordinates of Yining House want to go to see Wang's mother being punished, does it mean that the old lady has expressed her dissatisfaction with the eldest lady's mistreatment of her children?

Apricot went down. Yulan thought about it, but still said: "There is another thing, the granddaughter's nursing mother, Qian's mother, has been sent to Zhuangzi by his wife for two years. After all, I am really worried. The granddaughter thought that she had suffered so long in Zhuangzi, even if she was really guilty, she would have almost redeemed it. Please be gracious to my grandmother, pardon her, and be my housekeeper mother! ”

I don't want to be kneaded by the eldest lady anymore, and I change the position of the important housekeeper mother to my own person. The old lady's heart is like a mirror. glanced at Yulan, and saw that her eyes were very calm, and her eyes were open.

The old lady retracted her gaze and said indifferently: "Since you have such thoughts, just do what you wish." Tomorrow, I will arrange for the General Affairs Office to go to Zhuangzi to pick up your grandmother back. ”

Yulan was overjoyed and said from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you grandmother for your mercy!" ”

The old lady's face showed tiredness: "I'm also tired, you go down first!" So he gave the order to evict the guest.

Yulan retreated. The old lady kept watching her back disappear, and still sat on the Arhat couch unchanged, without saying a word for a long time. Mother Su gently walked up to her, kneaded her shoulders, massaged her temples, helped her dissipate fatigue, and said softly: "If you are tired, lie down and rest!" ”

The old lady sighed, her tone revealing infinite exhaustion: "Seven girls...... Hey......"

Mother Su chuckled and said, "Why are you bothering? I think the Seventh Girl did this quite neatly. In the courtyard of the mansion, there is no need to think about it. ”

"That's exactly what I'm disappointed about." The old lady's face was a little depressed, "Look at her very smart, but she is actually a fool." If you really have this idea, why don't you just come to me and beg me? Can I not help her? She still refuses to let go of the little mustard back then! ”

Su's mother smiled: "If you didn't really like her in your heart, you wouldn't have said such things!" Su's mother looked pensive: "The old woman said that she shouldn't speak, the girls in our house, especially the big house, it is not easy to make a living, what about the seventh girl, Xu has suffered too much since she was a child, and she refuses to open her heart to anyone." This is also human nature. ”

The old lady thought about it, and suddenly smiled and said, "It's you, how can you help her say good things everywhere, could it be that she gave you any benefits?" ”

Su's mother laughed: "You can't stain my innocence!" The seventh girl has only spoken a few words to me, but I like her from the bottom of my heart. Yingwu is smart and talented, if he is a man, he will definitely be able to come back with a champion in the future. Is the heart, look at it is also considered pure. ”

The old lady shook her head: "These are nothing. Although the second girl is a little worse than her, she is also talented. The big ability of the seven girls, that is, the words 'left and right, long-sleeved and good at dancing', can make Songhetang up and down, and say in unison that she is good, this ability, not everyone can have it...... It's a pity that she's not a boy now, if it's a boy, the next generation of the Yang family will be prosperous. ”

Mother Su thought for a while and said, "That's really what you said. But I don't think the Seventh Girl looks like a sleek person. ”

"That's fine, Concubine Hui in Jingyang Palace, I haven't wanted to see her for a day or two. Sooner or later, you always have to deal with it. There are many tricks in the palace, if there is no plan at all, I really don't feel at ease. ”

Su's mother also looked solemn.

The author has something to say: the prince is about to appear......
