Chunping shook his head and replied tentatively: "The slave doesn't sound like it, but it'...... Miss Eight did seem to be smarter than the girls in the long room. ”

"Oh?" The third old lady made a note in confusion, then raised her eyes and laughed, "Smart? Her mother doesn't look like a smart person, how smart can she be? A few ants also dared to jump up and down. You go and clean up those who chew the root of the tongue first, and we'll take a long time for the rest. ”

Chunping should go down, first go to pick up the Buddhist scriptures, tidy them up and put them on the kang table, and then curtsy and open the brocade curtain and go out.

After the others left, the third old lady glanced at the Buddhist scriptures that had been picked up, the hand-copied book, the font was clear, but the paper was already a little yellowed. She closed her eyes, her white hands clenched into a tight fist, and she murmured, "It should be mine, all this should be mine......"

She is the daughter of the family, but her father's career is not effective, and until she is older, the family has decayed and declined.

's mother worked hard for her, but in the end, she could only marry her into the third room of the Xie family as a stepmother.

She understood that Xie San was indeed many years older than her back then, but in the end, when she was still in good health, although there were many concubines around her, no one gave birth to an heir. If she can win a man in one fell swoop, will she have a hard time in the future? But no one could have expected that before she could conceive, the man went. From then on, only the concubines of this house were left to have sex with her, a young widow. It was originally a wine that harmed people, but her mother-in-law thought that she was a mourning star, and it was because she married her that Sanfang was completely out of pulse.

I'm really going to laugh off people's big teeth!

"Humph!" The third old lady came back to her senses, snorted coldly, opened her eyes again, and called someone to come in and serve her to sleep.

Overnight, I couldn't sleep anymore.

The next day, when there was just a glimmer of light in the sky, she had already woken up, but she lay there quietly looking at the tent above her head before she got up until the hour of the hour.

Combing her hair, she coughed lightly twice, and asked Chunping, who was waiting behind her, "What's wrong?" ”

Chunping smiled, "The slaves and maids have already been ordered, and the two who passed the word have also been sent to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Pingjiao." ”

"Well done." The third old lady complimented, and then frowned, "But there is still a mother Li?" ”

"Yes. Only she is the wife's person, and the slave maid has not moved for the time being. And the sixth master is also angry, I'm afraid it will not be easy to deal with it directly. ”

"Ridiculous, the more so, the more we should step up our disposal! Later, someone will go and call my wife, and I will command her myself! The third old lady looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes suddenly widened, her hand stretched back and grabbed Chunping's wrist, and said urgently, "Look, there is a gray hair here?" ”

Chunping was stunned, and carefully rummaged through a few strands of long hair on the sideburns of the third old lady, and there was really a snow-white silver hair hidden in it. She pinched it lightly, firmly stuck the hair between her fingers, and said with a forced smile: "Only one, if it is not tight, the slave and maid will hide it for you, and it is easy to be invisible." ”

The third old lady was silent, only staring blankly at the mirror.

After a long time, when Chunping felt that her hand holding the white hair had frozen, she heard the third old lady say coldly: "Pull it out." ”

Chunping subconsciously blurted out: "Old lady, don't, if you pull out one of this, you have to regenerate seven more!" ”

The third old lady's expression remained unchanged, and said, "I am already an old lady, what are you afraid of when you have a few gray hairs!" ”

But she said what she was afraid of, but the eyes staring at the mirror seemed to shoot out a needle, so cold that Chunping's hand shook, and she pulled out the white hair one by one, so frightened that she hurriedly threw away her hand and accused: "The slave is clumsy, please punish the old lady." ”

"Get up." The third old lady was expressionless, "The hair that is already dead doesn't hurt if you pull it out." Continue combing. ”

Chunping got up from the ground trembling and re-grasped the comb to coil her bun.

On the other side, Cheyenne took clothes and ornaments and gave them to the three old ladies to look at, one color was more pigmentary, and it looked more old-fashioned than the old lady in the long room. But the third old lady seemed to be extremely satisfied, picked a dignified look and wore it, and just fastened the button, the curtain of the Fu character pattern at the door was raised, and Qiu Xi and Dong Le walked in one after another. Qiu Xi carried the food box to the table to settle it, and Dong Le walked quickly outside the screen, and said to the figure of the third old lady inside: "Old lady, something happened." ”

The words fell, and the room was silent.

Then the third old lady rubbed the corners of her forehead and came out, frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Dong Le had a bitter face, "Somehow, the word has spread in the house, and Mrs. is harsh on the charcoal fire over there in Zhilanzhai, so that they can only make their own silver to go out and buy it." ”

"What?" The third old lady Rao was already a little prepared in her heart, but when she heard such words, she was still confused, "Mrs. is harsh on Zhilan Zhai's charcoal? ”

Dong Le nodded, and said thoughtfully: "There is also a rumor in the mansion that Zhilanzhai is afraid that it will not be a good winter, so I bought a large amount of silver silk charcoal together, and piled it up like a hill." Everyone said that he was so big that he had so much money that he could be thrown as a stone to play with. ”

The third old lady laughed angrily and said, "I used to dry my wealth in the long house, and now I have to put out the charcoal to dry?" It's really her Song family's richest in the world! After finishing speaking, she seemed to think of something, and her brows frowned tighter, "The charcoal over there in Zhilanzhai was originally insufficient?" ”

Dong Le had already checked these things before he came, and when he heard her ask, he immediately replied: "The slaves and maids have inquired, and Tan Yuan also sent it according to the previous fixed number, which is sufficient." It's just that the people on Zhilanzhai's side are all from the south, and they can't help freezing. Someone went to find the mother-in-law of the charcoal house and asked for more to use, but was refused. ”

As soon as she said this, the third old lady understood, and said angrily: "Why is the left one not the same, and the right one so useless?" How has Jin'er disciplined the people under her all these years? ”

She scolded Chen, and Dong Le Chunping's big girls were not easy to answer, so they could only wait for her to finish scolding before softly consoling: "Mrs. doesn't know about this, it turns out that the people over there are too tricky." ”

The third old lady ignored it after hearing this, only sneered twice, walked to the table and sat down, and said angrily: "Tricky? If they hadn't opened the door for people to come in and do evil, where would they have gotten their way? But a bunch of idiots! The people in this house, it seems that they should all be put in order! ”

Now that the New Year is approaching, I am most afraid that something will happen to me.

But judging from the current situation, it is not as simple as bad luck. If this continues, who knows what else will happen.

The more the third old lady thought about it, the more she had a headache, and she lost her appetite and couldn't eat a mouthful of food.

But early in the morning, Xie Shuning opened his belly and used a lot, and forcibly let Xie Yi eat half a bowl of porridge before letting him go. In the previous life, she was delicate and weak, she could fall down after a cold wind, and she had very little food on weekdays, so she developed a weak appearance. So no matter how tough you are, how can you endure it, if your body can't bear it, how can you hold on?

She is bound to take advantage of her young age to take care of her body first.

In addition, today, happy events are happening one after another, and of course her appetite is getting better and better.

As long as she thought of the angry appearance of the third old lady and the Chen family, she couldn't help but want to use one more bowl! Thinking like this, Xie Shuning picked up the bowl and handed it to Gui's mother, squinting her eyes and smiling: "Nurse, I still want it!" ”
