Outside, the sky was already bright, the red sun was hanging high, and the snow was melting.

Gui's mother said: "It's three quarters of the hour. ”

"It's so late?" Song couldn't help but be slightly shocked when he heard this, "The matter of the New Year's ceremony cannot be delayed, and the matter will be clarified today at the latest." If not, the year is coming. The delay can not be afforded. ”

Gui's mother answered, and when she arrived in the evening, she handed the news back.

"What the one from the Jade Tea Temple said is true. The old lady of the long house is so elegant and likes to study, so it must be appropriate to find a lonely book. The old lady believes in Buddhism, and it must be possible to send a jade carving of Guanyin Master. As for the rest of the old ladies and gentlemen, they are all exactly as they said. ”

Xie Shuning was taking medicine in Song's arms, and almost squirted out a mouthful of medicinal juice when she heard the words.

The old lady of the long house is so elegant, and it is true that he likes to read, but he just doesn't like lonely ancient books, he dislikes these things being fired up by antique dealers and losing the original taste, full of copper smell, it is better not to. So giving him a lone book is not only not flattering, but it may also annoy him. And the old lady of the long house does believe in Buddhism, but it is different, she is not worshipping Guanyin, Baba gave her a statue of Guanyin, who knows what she will think?

The rest of the people, Xie Shuning knew that there was no need to continue to think about it. Since the Chen family has made an article on the two old men in the long house, how can they let the rest go.

Xie Shuning swallowed a mouthful of bitter medicine, his mind spun quickly, thinking about how to tell the Song family about this quietly.

Since the Chen clan dared to do something about this, they must have already deployed it. The time they have been at Xie's house for a short time is still very limited, so Gui's mother will feel that what Chen said is true. Half-truths are the easiest to conceal and the most embarrassing.

After drinking the last sip of medicine in the porcelain bowl, Xie Shuning suddenly heard her mother's voice ringing above her head.

I only heard her say: "Go and inquire again, you have to be careful." ”

Gui's mother didn't understand: "Mrs. suspects that the person is playing tricks?" ”

"It's not clear at the moment, but it's always right to be careful. The nurse used to teach me that everything should not be trusted, and what others say can only be believed for eight points at most, but Chen is like this, at most not more than three points. I never took these words to heart in the past, but now I think about them. Worried about Mama Jiang's physical condition, Song's voice couldn't help but lower when she mentioned her, "It's a pity that I'm half a bucket of water, if the nurse is here." ”

Xie Shuning was also worried.

Regardless of whether Mama Jiang is a master of the house or not, at least with her, her mother can help her more, so Mama Jiang has to live!

However, Yeonling is a long way from Kyoto, and now it can only wait for a reply to be sent. What's more important at the moment is the New Year's gift. However, since Chan is prepared, this matter is not easy. Xie Shuning frowned almost invisibly, and then her brows suddenly relaxed, but she thought of someone available.

-- Second Lady Liang.

Second Mrs. Xie was born in the Liang family of the Duke of Wei, and she is the county lord, she has a big temper, she has a short temperament, and she is easily unwilling to forgive people with one mouth, and anyone who sees it will only feel that this person is extremely difficult to get along with. But Xie Shuning knew that her second aunt was actually the purest and most benevolent person in this mansion.

In the previous life, she lived in the long house, and although she was raised by the old lady of the long house, no one took her seriously. Although the old lady of the long house also likes her, she likes the granddaughters of the long house more. She is nothing more than duckweed, rootless. The second lady didn't pay attention to her in the first day, and occasionally stabbed a few words coldly when she met, which really made people depressed. But after a long time, Xie Shuning realized that when she was in the long room, the second lady actually took care of her often.

But all the objects and clothes that the girls in the long room had, she did not lack them back, and they all chose good ones for her to use.

And it wasn't at first.

The second lady once pointed to the clothes she was wearing and ridiculed her for not knowing how to clean herself up, and she was not as good as the girl in the house. These words sounded ugly, Xie Shuning only felt embarrassed at first, but after many years of retrospect, she realized that the second lady's words were not for her at all. That's when things changed.

Later, she replaced her sixth cousin and married into the Lin family, which made the Lin family suffer a dumb loss.

The old lady of the Lin family looked down on her, and asked her to set rules every day. At that time, she was young, ignorant, and didn't know that she was pregnant, so she had a miscarriage. Old man Lin felt faceless, and felt sorry for his unborn grandson, and he became more and more unkind to her. After the news of this came back to the Xie family, no one made a sound, only the second lady packed up her things and led people to the door.

She is Xie Shuning's elder, and she is of high origin, Mrs. Lin didn't dare to show her face, and she didn't dare to say anything when she was ridiculed by the second lady in front of her, so she just ignored it.

And the second lady was like a mother, taking care of her for a few days, and supporting her in front of Lin Yuanzhi before leaving.

These kindnesses, Xie Shuning will not be able to forget in another life.

So no one else mentioned it, but the second lady is the one who is the most worthy of befriending.

But how could she tell these things to the Song family right now, if she did, wouldn't she become a monster. And this is exactly what gives Xie Shuning a headache. She racked her brains to think about what to do, and Xie Yuanmao came. When he entered the door, he showed a look of urgency and said, "Why is Aman sick again?" ”

Song lowered his eyes, "The wind and snow in the north are so strong that adults can't stand it, let alone her." Yesterday, I played with Yi'er in the snow again, but it didn't burn again. ”

Xie Yuanmao stepped forward and probed Xie Shuning's forehead, and found that it was no longer burning, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why didn't you ask someone to tell me last night?" ”

"The inner door has lost the key." The Song family couldn't help but smile bitterly when they heard this, "How did the sixth master forget, this is not in the Song family, the rules are different, and we have to keep it." ”

What he said was actually two points of resentment, and Xie Yuanmao was stunned when he heard it.

However, the Song family did have some resentment against him.

When her daughter was sick, she was frightened and scared, but she couldn't find anyone to rely on. Because of this, even the previous depression burst out, causing her to involuntarily bring dissatisfaction in her speech.

"Even if you drop the key, it doesn't mean that you can't come to me......" Xie Yuanmao distinguished, but his voice was lowered.

Song shook his head, "That's it, it's all over, the sixth master's homework is important." ”

The two were speechless for a while.

After a while, Xie Shuning's medicinal power surged and he became sleepy, and Xie Yuanmao left first to see Xie Yi again.

When she was asleep, Song tucked the corners of the quilt for her, stared at her eyebrows and eyes carefully, and then went outside to talk to Gui's mother quietly. Gui's mother had listened to her instructions and had already gone to inquire again, but the news had not yet come back. Song Shi stretched out his jade-like fingers and pressed them against his eyebrows, and said with a headache: "Wait." Qinggui, there is one thing, I don't know what to do, you can help me get an idea. ”
