"Madam," Soon, Xiangqin came back with an ugly face: "The slave maid went to the second and third girls, but they ......" After a little timid pause, Xiangqin continued: "The golden bottle is at the second girl's place, and the golden bead is at the third girl's." ”

Xu's face also changed, and the old lady sent all the big girls around her to prevent her from sending people over to call Man Jin and Man Yu, right? Xu's heart even has the heart to bite the old lady to death at this time, since you want to recite Buddhist scriptures, then stay in Ronghua Garden honestly, how old is Shu Chengye, and he is not afraid of being hollowed out!

One by one, when they get older, they start to disrespect the old, it's so shameless!

"Madam, what are we going to do now?" Xiangqin only looked at Xu's face changing back and forth, and couldn't help but ask out loud, Xu was about to speak, when he heard Cailan outside and said, "Madam, Mother Cao is here." ”

"Really?" Xu got up violently, three or two steps out, Cai Lan was helping a gray-haired woman in, followed by a little maid, Cao's mother is Xu's nurse, and later because of her age, she went out to raise Rong, this little maid was also arranged by Xu to serve Cao's mother.

"Why is Mom here now? But what's the matter? Xu's went over to help Cao's mother into the house for Cailan, and Cao's mother smiled: "It's okay, I just miss you, so I came to take a look, I saw that your face was not good just now, but what happened?" ”

Xu Shi only smiled and shook his head: "No, it's just a little family matter, it doesn't matter, nurse, have you finished eating the bird's nest I asked you to send you last time?" If you finish eating, I'll send you some more, you have to take care of your body, and I want to take you into the capital to enjoy your happiness. ”

Xu's mother passed away early, although her father did not marry later, but there are also two concubines in the family, and Xu's family can be regarded as growing up with the nurse, and his feelings are very deep.

"It's the girl who thinks about me." Cao's mother was relieved, and reached out to pat Xu's hand: "It's just that you don't just think about me, I'm in good health, I don't need to eat those things, you still keep it, make up for it yourself, speaking of which, you are not too old, why did you not move after giving birth to Zheming?" All these years, do you still use the medicine prescribed by the doctor? ”

Xu's face immediately stiffened, she wanted to conceive another one, more children and more blessings, not to mention, in the case of the Shu family, if she gave birth to even two sons, no one would be able to shake her status. For this reason, she endured it in front of the old lady and Shu Chengye for more than ten years, and carefully adjusted her body, but no matter how well she recuperated, Shu Chengye spent the night with her only a handful of times, and she couldn't conceive even if she wanted to.

Cao's mother is old and refined, Xu's expression is wrong, and when she looks at the furnishings in the room, she can see the problem at a glance: "But the master dislikes you?" How long has it been since he came to you? ”

Xu's eyes were sour, and the circles under his eyes turned red, and Cao's mother was also anxious: "What's the matter?" Didn't you say some time ago that although the lord was not very good to you, he came to you a few times? What's going on? But what happened? Or did you do something to anger the master? ”

"Nanny, where did I do something wrong, it's not that old immortal ......" Before she finished speaking, she was covered by Cao's mother, frowned and said, "How can you say that?" Even in your own room, you can't open your mouth and talk nonsense! That's your mother-in-law, it's an elder, you have to call your mother. ”

"But what she did, I can't wait to ......" Xu didn't scold anymore, Cao's mother frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?" The last time I came, I met your mother-in-law, which is not bad for you, not to mention, you have been in charge of the house all these years, the old lady has never interfered, the Shu family only has such an heir, and the old lady has never said anything about taking a concubine for the old man, you can have such a mother-in-law, it is already a blessing for three lifetimes. ”

"But she's going to take a concubine for the old man now!" Xu's tears fell, and Cao's mother was taken aback: "Don't cry first, tell me from the beginning, what's going on, your mother-in-law doesn't look like that unreasonable, what did you do and your mother-in-law found out?" ”

"How can you not believe me, nurse?" Xu Shi wiped his tears and said, "That dead girl, if you don't move that crooked mind and don't think about harming Manyu, will I take action against her?" Even if she stays in the Shu family for the rest of her life, I will support her, but she shouldn't have moved her brain to Manyu's head! ”

Cao's mother looked annoyed: "You, I don't know how to say it, don't you understand what you did wrong at this point?" ”

Xu Shi looked puzzled, and Cao's mother took her hand and lowered her voice: "You are too impatient, you haven't made a mistake over the years, it's too smooth, and you lost your previous shock!" Tell me, if it was before, even if that dead girl had done something, would you still do something like that in the Zuo family when you knew that your mother-in-law was suspicious? ”

"If before, you knew that your mother-in-law would do something unfavorable to you, would you immediately have someone call the second and third girls?"

"If it had been before, would you have blatantly refuted your mother-in-law's meaning?"

"Think about how you got the housekeeping in the first few years of that dead girl's accident." Cao's mother voice was low: "Think about it in the past few years, what have you done so that your mother-in-law never said that you were bad on weekdays." Although the master is not close to you, has he ever made you ugly? If you look at the furnishings in your house now, and think about the years ago, you say, do you know what you did wrong? ”

Xu Shi stopped crying slowly, and Cao's mother said seriously: "I said before, as long as you take your time and don't be in a hurry, things can always be done." One year doesn't achieve two years, two years doesn't achieve three years, you see, it's almost done, what did the outside say about the big girl before? Seven diseases and eight disasters, can't go out, I'm afraid that you can't give birth, you're good, you got people up all of a sudden, and you went to Zuo's house to participate in the banquet! ”

Xu hurriedly argued: "Nurse, you have wronged me, that dead girl was not provoked by me, speaking of which, if it wasn't for the dead girl who was suddenly abnormal, how could I panic?" I just think it's strange, obviously things are developing according to my arrangement, seeing that the girl is raised without an opinion, and her temperament is about to change, but suddenly it seems to be enlightened, first to please the old lady, and then to find a way to harm Manyu, I am in a hurry, this is ......"

Cao's mother frowned: "What you said is indeed not normal, originally that girl didn't dare to raise her head when she saw someone, let alone laugh, she didn't even dare to raise her head, how could she talk and laugh again in a blink of an eye, and she also knew how to please the old lady and the master!" ”

After a pause, Cao's mother approached Xu's with a sneaky face: "You say, did that girl hit an evil spirit?" ”

Xu Shi was also a little stunned, and shook his head hesitantly: "No, old woman...... Mother-in-law is old, and believe in Buddhism, there is a small Buddha hall in the Ronghua Garden, the mother-in-law recites the scriptures every day to pick up Buddha beans, what dirty things will go to the Ronghua Garden? Besides, my mother-in-law didn't doubt it......"

"You are stupid, if the dead girl still remembers the past, then your mother-in-law will definitely not feel that there is anything wrong, after all, it is her own granddaughter, say two good words, your mother-in-law will definitely only care about being happy!" Cao's mother said: "Otherwise, you take the time to take her to do it." You can't go to Fayuan Temple, and your mother-in-law and the master of Fayuan Temple are also relatively familiar. In this way, I'll ask you about a Taoist woman or something, you come quietly, but you can't let your mother-in-law know. ”

Xu nodded hurriedly, and Cao's mother said again: "And what I just said, you are just too impatient during this time, so you were led by the nose and left, I still say the same thing, you just calm down, think of everything, all aspects, and never make mistakes." As for the matter of taking a concubine, in my opinion, you might as well agree. ”

Xu Shi was suddenly annoyed: "Nurse! ”

"Listen to me." Cao's mother waved her hand and sat down according to her: "Now it seems that your mother-in-law and the master are suspicious of you, the reason why your mother-in-law took a concubine for the lord is to warn you, and secondly, I am afraid that I have to plan for the dead girl." Zheming is your son, that girl doesn't have a brother, I'm afraid she won't have anything to rely on when she gets married. As for you, you might as well agree. ”

"On the one hand, tell your mother-in-law that you know that you are wrong, and even if you stop trying to please your mother-in-law in the future, you can make her let her relax her vigilance. Secondly, make a gesture in front of the master, if you make good use of the concubine, maybe you can make the master and the old lady centrifuge, and you strive to have another son. ”

"You don't want to think about it, you've been a housekeeper for several years, is there anything you don't know about this Shu family? Even if the woman enters the door, she has no foundation, can she conceive or not, that is, from conception to birth, it will take ten months, that is, she will be born, and the child will be gone if she is a little negligent. ”

Mother Cao's voice was a little gloomy: "The most important thing for you now is to let your mother-in-law not watch out for you and not take back the housekeeping in your hands, anyway, the eldest young master is not too young, as long as you take care of the eldest young master, you will have a backer in the future." If you lose your stewardship, you will really lose your status in the Shu family. ”

Cao's mother emphasized the housekeeping right over and over again, and Xu's finally slowly came back to her senses, she was really angry before, she was completely out of reason, just a little girl, is it worth her to use the housekeeping right to exchange?

As long as the stewardship is in her hands for a day, she can quietly dispose of people. And as long as she is still the housemother of the Shu family, it doesn't matter if she accepts one concubine or two concubines, and gives birth to a child, don't you have to hold her and raise her? The old woman thinks too beautifully, when the time comes, how to raise the child and who to kiss, don't you have the final say?

It's really raised, and then Zheming has an extra helper.
