The old lady was puzzled, and when Shu Manyao was coaxed, she was sent back to rest when she was tired, and then asked Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu to go back, and then asked Shu Chengye directly: "What's the matter?" How could Man Yao say that she hadn't seen you for more than a month? ”

Shu Chengye thought about it for a long time before frowning and said, "If it weren't for Man Yao talking about it today, I wouldn't have noticed it." In addition to the past ten days, I went out to run errands, and in the past month, every time I came to say hello to my mother, I had never seen Man Yao. ”

The old lady was a little dissatisfied: "That child is timid, Xu brings Man Jin and Man Yu over every day, she always has to hide, you often come with Xu, you can't see Man Yao anymore, it's just that you come over at other times, didn't I let you go to see Man Yao?" ”

"But every time I go over, the maids say that Man Yao has rested." Shu Chengye's brows furrowed even tighter, although he was very dissatisfied with his daughter's temperament before, he would never say that he didn't want to see her or anything. On the contrary, compared with other daughters, he was more worried about Shu Manyao.

He and his cousin are also childhood sweethearts, and after they got married, they were also in deep love with Qin Se and Ming, how could he not care about the only daughter left by his cousin?

"Which maid brought you there?" The old lady paused for a while and asked, Shu Chengye thought for a while before replying: "There are three or four times that it was the maid named Jin Ling, and there are a few others, either gold beads or gold rings, or gold bottles." ”

"Which maid is it every time you come out to reply?" The old lady's face was very bad, since she beat Xu's and gave birth to Shu Zheming, she gradually handed over all the affairs of the inner house to Xu's, she thought that Xu would not dare to interfere in her own yard, and Manyao would live with her, so she would not be wronged.

Unexpectedly, she hadn't taken care of things for a few years, and the minions in this courtyard had their own thoughts.

"A few times it was Manyao's nurse." Shu Chengye hesitated a little: "This nurse, it's not right?" She was left by her cousin back then, and she was very good to Man Yao in the past, and she also arranged Xu's bad from time to time, how could she ......"

The old lady shook her head: "Okay, the matter of the inner house is not something you should ask about." Since Man Yao said that she wanted to learn calligraphy and painting with you, I thought, you have to go to the yamen every day, and it is rare to take a break once, why don't you invite Mr. again for Man Yao? ”

Although she has not done anything for many years, her eyes are not blind and her heart is not confused. The gentleman that his son invited back for Man Yao before, I am afraid that he has already become someone else's husband. The Xu family doesn't seem to be hiding a traitor, but he can make the two daughters better, how can he not buy that gentleman?

Although Man Jin is smart, she is still a little younger, and she is a little more impatient.

"Man Yao is not young...... Shu Chengye frowned: "If you invite a gentleman, you have to invite a female gentleman, this son is not easy to find." ”

The old lady is even harder to find, she doesn't like girls who study too much at all. So after thinking about it for a while, both mother and son were a little worried, and finally saw that Manyao's temperament had improved a little, and it was rare to make a request, as elders, they had already agreed, how could they not be satisfied?

"That's it, it's my birthday in a few days, this year is not a whole birthday, I don't plan to do a big deal, but I'm just changing it now, let Xu invite someone over, I'll inquire about the situation."

The old lady thought for a while and said, Shu Chengye had no choice but to respond.

Although the old lady has only cultivated herself over the years, she has read albums and listened to dramas on weekdays, but her years of accumulation of prestige should not be underestimated. Shu Manyao just slept all afternoon, and when she went to greet the old lady in the evening, she found that the position where Jin Ling was originally standing had been replaced. And Bao's mother always stood beside the old lady when she had dinner in the past, and she didn't see anyone now.

Noticing Shu Manyao's surprised eyes, the old lady only explained lightly: "Mother Bao is not feeling well, I asked her to go back and rest." Jin Ling is not young, and serving me on weekdays is considered to be attentive, so I matched her with someone, and now this, also called Jin Ling, was just promoted by me. Speaking of which, the maids in your house are not young anymore, what are your plans? ”

Shu Manyao was a little confused: "Plans?" ”

The old lady frowned, and then remembered that this granddaughter had never learned housekeeping, and she really didn't know what to do when she encountered this kind of thing. eased his expression, pulled the person to his side and sat down: "Do you see if you are worthy of someone, or will you talk about it in two years?" ”

"Grandmother is there a suitable candidate?" Shu Manyao suddenly understood, without waiting for herself to test the loyalty of the maids, the old lady had already confirmed the candidate. Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and this shot directly dumped himself on the street.

Thanks to myself, I thought I had grown a lot, but I didn't expect that I was still a little angry. It's just a few maids, and if you don't like it, you will send it away, and you are not sure whether you are loyal to yourself or not, so change to a batch that can be cultivated.

It's better than having a master and having to bother to win it back.

"Then match Chunchen and Qiuchao with people." The old lady made a decision directly: "There are only four big girls in your house, and you have to keep two of them to train people to take over." Summer and winter twilight are good. Also, your nurse, what are your plans? ”

Shu Manyao's heart sank, did the nurse really choose another high branch?

"Grandmother, the nurse is so big that my grandmother is older, I want to give the nurse a sum of silver, so that she can enjoy her old age in peace." Shu Manyao lowered his head and twisted his handkerchief: "A few days ago, the nurse also told me that the nurse has no errand in the house, and the livelihood is probably a little difficult, I think, since the grandfather is not needed in the house, I will return him and the nurse's free body, let him out of the house, let him open a small shop or something, or buy a few acres of land, he can always be a rich man, and then serve the nurse well." ”

Shu Manyao's eyes were slightly red, and the old lady was very relieved that she could hear the hint in her words, and she also made arrangements for her own nurse in contact with the previous arrangement, this granddaughter is really not stupid.

In the past few years, it must have been taken away by those maids! Chengye has not been a timid since he was a child, and his niece is not a coward, so it makes no sense that his granddaughter is a rat gall.

"It's okay for you to plan so, although she is in our Shu family, and she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, but in the end, she is a slave, it depends on the face of the person, where is it better than going out to be a rich old lady? If your brother's son has the ability, he may be able to earn a life for your nurse in the future. ”

The old lady rarely comforted Shu Manyao with a few words, although she felt that the kind of slave who betrayed the master could just be driven out, but just like Man Yao said, it was her milk that grew up, and Man Yao had no mother when she was born, if it weren't for the nurse's dedication at the time, I am afraid that Man Yao would not have grown so big.

Besides, her granddaughter has always been soft, and if she handles it too badly, I'm afraid she will be scared again.

"You're not young anymore, and you can't be without a housekeeping mother by your side, so let's go back and ask someone to help you and ask for a parenting mother." The old lady paused and said, "You have to study hard then, and grandmother doesn't expect you to win glory for the family, as long as you don't lose the face of the Shu family." ”

Shu Manyao nodded hurriedly, and looked around to divert the topic: "Where's Daddy?" ”

"Your dad still has some things, so he will rest in the front yard at night." The old lady turned her head and ordered someone to set the meal: "It's not too early, let's eat too, you eat more in the past two days, make up for your body, no matter what you learn, it's very hard, your body, don't be able to bear it when the time comes, if you fall ill again, your grandmother won't allow you to learn." ”

"Grandmother rest assured, just to keep grandmother and father from worrying, granddaughter will also take good care of her body." Shu Manyao hurriedly said, hesitated for a while, and hesitated a little: "Grandmother, I'm well, do I have to go and say hello to my wife?" ”

The old lady frowned: "Don't go first, she hasn't felt well for the past two days, your body is weak, and it's not good if you get sick again." ”

Shu Manyao was very stupid and naïve, and happily accompanied the old lady to dinner.

In Changchun Hall, Shu Manjin frowned, touched the temperature on the bowl, scooped some with a spoon and fed it to Xu's mouth: "Mother, it's not hot, you drink it quickly, otherwise, it will be uncomfortable again later." ”

Xu Shi waved his hand: "I'm not sick, what are you doing drinking this?" I didn't listen to the old lady, I just worried too much, so I'm tired? Just rest for two days, you don't have to drink this medicine, have you and Manyu had dinner? ”

Shu Manjin didn't insist, put down the medicine bowl and nodded: "After using it, I asked Parsley, mother, you only drank a bowl of porridge at night, is it a little less?" Wait a minute, my daughter will ask someone to prepare some supper for you, right? ”

Xu Shi smiled, reached out and rubbed Shu Manjin's hair: "No need, I can't eat it, besides, the old lady has been staring at me for the past two days, don't alarm others." Where have you been? ”

Shu Manjin nodded: "Caihe is not dissatisfied, mother, just rest assured." ”

Shu Manyu was a little unhappy: "What are you talking about?" What happened to Caihe? By the way, why didn't Caihe serve at my mother's place today? ”

Shu Manjin glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Grandmother has matched the lotus." ”

Shu Manyu was taken aback: "Matched? Isn't Caihe the big girl next to her mother? Why did grandmother say that if you match someone, you will match someone? ”

"Not only Caihe has been assigned, but my grandmother has also driven Mrs. Luo's family out of the house, and now the mother in charge of the big kitchen has become Mrs. Gao." Shu Manjin frowned and said, his tone was a little dissatisfied.

Xu patted her hand and smiled softly: "Man Jin, you should pay attention when you speak, that is your grandmother." ”

Shu Manjin took a deep breath, changed to a smile, and then nodded: "Yes, I remember what my mother said." ”

Only Shu Manyu was still a little stunned: "Weishenme wants to replace Luo Pozi with Gao Pozi?" That tall woman is hateful, last time I wanted to eat shrimp egg custard, she didn't make it! I have to say that there is no example, isn't Luo Pozi doing a good job? ”

Shu Manjin took a deep breath, this sister, let's call her stupid, when dealing with Shu Manyao, she was like her head suddenly opened, and she could cooperate with herself seamlessly. Let's call her smart, sometimes she says things like she doesn't have a brain!
