Liu Shi tugged at the corners of his mouth, smiled perfunctorily, his eyes became darker and more ruthless, his eyes were like a poisonous snake staring at his prey, moving wantonly, pondering the meaning of her words.

is clearly a threat, if she is really punished today, Zhou Huan will publicize this matter in the future, and then it will become his own wrong.

Raising his eyebrows and eyes, he swept the two maids coldly, and then covered them up, pretending to be annoyed: "What you said is very true, I also listened to the words of those two little girls, thinking that I couldn't insult your reputation, so I rushed over." ”

Zhou Huan replied to her words: "Madame treats me well, I remember it day and night." ”

Standing in the courtyard and listening for a long time, Zhou Shenyuan felt like a mirror in his heart.

was about to turn around and leave, and Zhou Huan's light voice sounded behind him: "Since it was the maid who said the wrong thing, causing Mrs. to misunderstand, I can't spare them, how is Mrs. going to punish her?" ”

"They don't have the heart, so let them go." Liu raised his hand, motioned for the two to get up, and broke out in a cold sweat, the two thought that they would definitely be beaten, but they didn't want Mrs. to be merciful and careless, so they were naturally grateful to Dade and got up with a thousand thanks.

Sneaking a glance at Zhou Huan, bored fiddling with the handkerchief in his hand, he couldn't help but pout, and he didn't put her in his eyes.

Zhou Huan sat upright, lowered her head, revealing a small section of her thin white neck, gently shrugged, and there was a faint choked sob, she said weakly: "It turns out that I am not as good as two girls, that's it, I'd better pack up my things and go back, and if I am wronged in the future, I can't tell what they say." ”

After that, she resolutely got up, her eyes were already red, and there was a faint mist.

Against the burning eyes of everyone, he pulled out a simple burden, and seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Liu couldn't sit still, and got up to stop her.

Pulling her emptily, she laughed with her: "What do you say, this kid, this is your home, where else can you go, if you feel wronged, I will ask them to kowtow to you to make amends." ”

"Dare to chew the root of the master's tongue, this kind of girl can't be kept, so let's send it away." Following the source of the sound and looking up, Zhou Shenyuan walked in from outside with a chill, wearing a lake-blue bamboo pattern jacket, with a tall posture, a handsome face, and sharp eyebrows.

Zhou Huan called out "father" timidly and stood aside obediently.

Seeing Zhou Shenyuan, Liu was stunned at first, he didn't expect to see him here, so he greeted him and changed the topic: "Why did the master come back, didn't you say that you will come back the day after tomorrow?" ”

picked up the teapot, but found that the tea was cold, Liu paused, put it down awkwardly, and sat down.

"Got back early." Zhou Shenyuan responded casually, poured a cup of tea by himself, took a sip, and was cold to the heart, before he came back from outside, the cold on his body had not disappeared, and he drank a sip of cold water, shivering with cold.

The teacup slammed on the table, and Zhou Shenyuan said angrily: "What about the people who are serving in this courtyard? ”

"I guess I'm going out, I heard from them this morning that they are going to build a snowman in the garden." Now he speaks again, well-behaved and gentle, with low eyebrows.

Listening to Zhou Huan's title, Zhou Shenyuan twisted his eyebrows fiercely, and then looked at the furnishings of this room, it was so cold, he didn't even burn the stove, not even hot water, no matter how bad Zhou Huan was, it was his daughter, the eldest lady of the Zhou Mansion, what was the matter with being bullied by his subordinates.

"Together with the maids in this courtyard, send them together!" Zhou Shenyuan's face was gloomy, and he said: "This yard is not good, so I will order someone to arrange it again." ”

"Yes, the concubine has written it down." Seeing that Zhou Shenyuan was really angry, the Liu family didn't dare to open his mouth to tell the difference.

Outside the door, Rong Zhi walked in with a lacquered wooden food box, gave a blessing, and said: "The old lady asked the slave maid to bring some dried fruit and pastries, as well as two satins, and the slave and maid have already sent them to cut winter clothes." ”

Zhou Shenyuan nodded: "Mother feels sorry for you and pointed out her maid to you, but she is also afraid that you will be wronged, and you will not have to say that you will not go back in the future, this is your home." ”

"Thank you, father, daughter wrote it down." Dressed in light-colored clothes, she was as gentle as water, standing there pretty, with a graceful posture.

In the end, she has the same blood in her bones, she has not been raised by her side since she was a child, and she was handed over by those rural wild men who did not understand the rules and contradicted the housewife, but she said it was not unreasonable, and in terms of it, Liu's fault was greater.

Retracting his eyes, Zhou Shenyuan nodded, got up and left, and when Liu saw this, he followed suit.

When the sky darkened, the group held an enamel vase, held a thick quilt, and brought a piece of silver carbon, and dialed two honest-looking maids to serve, and finally could sleep well tonight.

The next day, the sky was slightly cloudy, the snow was long, and there was a shallow backlog, and the slender and pretty figure held an oil-paper umbrella, and the thick soles of his boots stepped on, making a "creaking" sound.

The maid lifted the felt curtain, took Zhou Huan's cloak, and led her to the Buddhist hall.

The old lady was talking to a grandmother, and when she saw Zhou Huan coming over, she was surprised: "Why did you come so early?" ”

"My granddaughter wants to say hello to her grandmother sooner."

The old lady nodded comfortably and said: "You came just in time, this is your mother specially invited into the palace to raise grandma, in the future, she will be responsible for teaching you etiquette rules, let the maid clean out the west wing, this month, she will eat and live with you." ”

"Yes, my granddaughter wrote it down." Zhou Huan pursed his lips and smiled, leaned to the side, and gave Mama Zhao a salute: "I've seen Mama." ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and waved her hand: "It's snowing today, I didn't plan to let you come over to say goodbye, go back quickly." ”

"Yes, my granddaughter is leaving."

Zhou Huan glanced at Mama Zhao, and saw that she had no idea of leaving with her, afraid that the old lady still had something to say, so she withdrew from the warm pavilion.

After breakfast, Mama Zhao finally arrived.

The aged face was cold and cold, without a trace of smile, where was there still kindness in front of the old lady, as if she had become her enemy, her eyes were like flying eagles, she glanced at Zhou Huan up and down, from head to toe, and she was reluctant to miss a place.

She sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, put on two soft cushions, and frowned, looking dissatisfied.

Biluochun, who was sent by the Liu family, made tea for her, took a sip, sighed, and nodded the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

She finally raised her eyes, looked at the woman in front of her, her hair was lightly pulled, her eyebrows and lips were red, her pretty face seemed to be a good white jade, a pair of eyes were the best, and she smiled before she spoke, as if she was sucking a clear spring, such a good appearance, but unfortunately her life was thin, she offended her mother, how could she have a good life in the future.

Mama Zhao sighed in her heart, I am afraid that it will not be long before this delicate flower will be tortured into withered grass.

Pity flashed and cleared his throat: "Bring the things up."

Rong Zhi came over with a wide-bottomed flower pot: "Please lower the eldest lady."

Zhou Huan bent his knees and held the flower pot on his head.

I don't know when, Mama Zhao had an extra slender rattan in her hand, one after another, gently knocked on the stone table, just listening to the sound felt painful, if it was pumped, it was uncomfortable.

In this life, the Liu family asked her to raise her grandmother earlier, but she was clearly upbringing the rules and secretly tortured and made it difficult.

She lowered her eyes and helped a flower pot, Mama Zhao stared at her tightly, raised the rattan in her hand, who knew that Zhou Huan walked around twice steadily, looked at her with a smile, and her eyes moved lightly, falling on the rattan.

Crisply said, "How does Mama think of me leaving?" ”
