Half an hour later, Liuzhu ran back and whispered in Su Liluo's ear: "Miss, as you expected, except for the old lady's room, the rest of the masters in the house are the same as the charcoal we use, why don't we go and report the lady to the master, so that we can also extinguish the prestige of the lady." ”

"No, my father doesn't like me in the first place, this matter must be said, but I can't say it." Su Liluo knew the bottom of his heart, and muttered, "Let's go, let's go to the fifth lady and sit down." ”

She asked people to prepare some snacks and brought them to Su Dongxuan's yard, and saw that the slave maid in her house was playing in front of the door, and asked softly, "Xuan'er is in the house?" ”

"The eldest lady is here, the fifth lady is here, and the slave will report it." Su Dongxuan's eldest maid greeted with a smile, and then walked into the house.

Su Liluo followed and walked in, and saw that Su Dongxuan was sitting at the table writing something, and asked curiously, "Fifth sister, what is this?" ”

"Let my sister laugh, I have nothing to do, so I practice calligraphy, why does my sister have time to come over today?" Su Dongxuan put the wolf pen in his hand on the shelf, wiped his hands, and led Su Liluo to sit by the window.

Su Liluo asked Liuying to bring the dim sum, and said with a smile: "Liuying, they have figured out the new dim sum by themselves, I taste it good, so I will bring some to you, are you going to go to the third aunt later?" Let's drop by. ”

Su Dongxuan looked at the cute dim sum, gently pinched a piece, put it in her mouth and tasted it, and then nodded happily: "It's really good, big sister bothered." ”

Su Liluo pursed his lips and smiled, dipped his lips in tea, looked at the deserted appearance in the room, and asked curiously, "There is no charcoal fire in my sister's house?" Why don't you light it up? ”

Su Dongxuan's eyes flashed, and then she chuckled: "It turns out that my sister didn't come to bring me snacks on purpose, and the charcoal fire in my sister's house is also like me?" ”

Su Dongxuan asked people to take out a basket of charcoal sent by Yao Ruoshui, which was exactly the same as Su Liluo's, Su Liluo nodded and said lightly: "It seems that the house can't even afford charcoal fire now." ”

Su Dongxuan's face was a little heavy, she vaguely thought of something, and asked uncertainly: "Is it the same even for the old lady?" That lady also ......"

"No, the old lady is a decent silver charcoal, but there are some differences in the rest of the place, I think the lady is also smart, if it really makes trouble with the old lady, I'm afraid she won't be able to please her." Su Liluo smiled contemptuously, and Su Dongxuan looked at the charcoal with some embarrassment, "Sister, this charcoal fire is smoky and smoky as soon as it is lit, but it is better than before, there is always heat." ”

Su Liluo was suddenly a little distressed, held her hand tightly and said, "Sister, don't worry, my sister won't let this matter pass like this, but I still have to bother the third aunt to do a little favor." ”

"Sister, please say, if there is anything I can help, I will definitely let my aunt do her best." Su Dongxuan responded, and then Su Liluo whispered beside her for a long time, the two nodded and agreed, and Su Liluo got up to say goodbye.

Su Hong was depressed in the court for a day, and when he returned to the house, he went straight to the courtyard of the third aunt, there was a cold wind blowing outside, and the third aunt heard the sound, and quickly took off the cloak on Su Hong's body, put it on the screen on the side, handed over a cup of hot tea, and said softly: "The master quickly sits down, it's cold outside, and the concubine will let people have some hot water, and the master will take a good bath." ”

"You also sit, these personnel are done by slaves and maids, you are the aunt in the house, why do you need to work on these little things." Su Hong held the third aunt's hand and said with a smile.

The third aunt looks soft, her voice is small, the whole person is as warm as a spring breeze, when she laughs, it makes your mood better, as soon as Su Hong realizes her benefits, she is the one who comes most often, the third aunt gently kneaded his shoulders for him, and said aggrievedly: "The master doesn't do well to dislike the concubine, and the concubine is okay to stay in the house, if you can't do anything for the master, I don't know what else to think." ”

"Okay, okay, okay, you have the final say, since you want to do it, I won't stop you." Su Hong surrendered immediately, and the third aunt smiled and instructed the slave outside: "Hurry up and raise the charcoal, master, today's lady sent silver charcoal, it just so happens that the master is here today, when the charcoal fire rises, let's have a warmer meal." ”

Su Hong only felt that it was very ironing from head to toe, holding the hand of the third aunt, the smile at the corner of his mouth was not broken, the two looked at each other with warmth and affection, and the beautiful atmosphere lingered in the hearts of the two, and a cough next to him suddenly broke the quiet time in the house, "Ahem, cough, the master forgives the sin, the slave didn't mean it...... Ahem, ahem. ”

Two smears of red light flew over the third aunt's face, and she lowered her head shyly, Su Hong looked over unhappily, and saw white smoke coming from the stove, and immediately scolded angrily: "What's the matter?" Not a single charcoal fire can be raised. ”

The third aunt stroked his chest and persuaded: "Master, forget it, the slaves and maids are not sensible, and they will have dinner later, and it is not good for the master to be angry with his body...... cough cough cough ...... What's going on? ”

Su Hong also felt choked, and hurriedly hugged the third aunt and walked out, and the slave maid who had been on fire quickly ran out, knelt in front of Su Hong and the third aunt and confessed: "Master, it's really not about the slave and maid, it's because of the charcoal, I don't know why, it's different from what was sent before, and it's a little choking before it is burned, which disturbs the aunt and the master." ”

The third aunt choked on tears, covered the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and asked softly, "Master, what's going on?" This is a new gift from Mrs. today, is it that the slaves below have done anything to work on this, but they are really timid, and the concubine body is forgotten, but it is just a burden to the master. ”

Su Hong was distressed when he saw that he was only holding the third aunt's hand, and there was still white smoke in the room, so he said sharply: "Why don't you hurry up and lift the stove out and open the window, will you still let me and my aunt get frozen outside?" ”

The slaves and maids immediately begged for mercy, and seeing Su Hong's ugly face, they hurriedly lifted out the smoking stove inside, and several people made a few efforts, took tea and poured it into the stove, and suddenly only wisps of light smoke were emitted.

The third aunt stepped forward to take a look and asked suspiciously, "Master, why does this charcoal seem to be different from the one used before?" ”

Su Hong became suspicious, squatted down before approaching, and pinched a small piece of charcoal in the stove, and a jet-black charcoal body came out of it, "I dare to be shoddy." He snorted coldly and threw the black charcoal in his hand into the stove, and the third aunt immediately waved her hand for him with a handkerchief, and asked puzzledly: "Master, who did this?" Didn't you say silver charcoal? ”

"I'll talk about this tomorrow, let's go, it's cold outside, it's not good when your body freezes, I know this matter in my heart, you don't have to worry about it." Su Hong hugged the third aunt and said softly, she nodded lightly, stroked Su Hong's brow with her cold hand, and said worriedly: "Don't worry, master, things will always be clarified." ”

"Well, why are your hands so cold, come on, get two hand stoves." Su Hong hugged her into the house, there was no smoke in the house, the lamp was lit on the corridor outside, and the candles in the house were also lit one by one, and the warm yellow candle flame shone on the third aunt to make people feel warm in their hearts.

After dinner, Su Hong accompanied the third aunt to write a word, and when the lights in the third aunt's house went out, Tsing Yi hurriedly delivered the news to Su Liluo.

"Miss, the prime minister already knows about charcoal, and now he has rested in the courtyard of the third aunt." Tsing Yi bent over and whispered beside Su Liluo's bed.

She nodded, "Tsing Yi, go to sleep, I've worked hard for you today." ”

Tsing Yi shook her head, "The slave and maid are not hard, the charcoal matter must have a result tomorrow, the young lady is resting, and the slave and maid will retire."

Liuying sent Tsing Yi out, put down the bed tent for Su Liluo, saw her close her eyes, blew out the candle in the room, and then gently closed the door.
