It's quieter, and it's quiet. In the gray sky, there were white clouds like cotton balls, and the white clouds floated erratically, enveloping a cloud as black as ink, covering the quarter moon for a while, and leaking out the quarter moon for a while, as if deliberately playing tricks.

In the second half of the night, the moon had enough of this trick, straightened her waist, jumped out of the clouds completely, and sprinkled her clear light on the ground.

After running smoothly for a day, he slept very hard at night, pulling the cries of the sky.

At this time, a black shadow appeared on the door, and he hesitated slightly, and then grabbed the beast ring and slammed it a few times.

Pingshun was sleepy, and he didn't feel at all, just turned over and continued to hum, but as the sound on the door became louder and louder, he still woke up uncontrollably, and then hurriedly put on his robe, unwillingly pulled on his cloth shoes, and scolded his father and mother while leaving the house.

Unplugged the wooden bolt behind the door, opened the door smoothly, and saw a young man of the same age standing at the door, and then took a closer look, the person who came was the prosperous wealth of the house at night, so he rubbed his eyelids and said, "You killed the dog this day, when is this?" Before dawn, you ran to the door and knocked on the door, but you couldn't get along with me, so I couldn't sleep? ”

Wangcai smiled and grinned, and came to Pingshun's side in a low voice, and said: "This is not in vain, and I don't want to go, but my wife is pressing, and I have no choice but to rush here overnight!" ”

"What did Madame send you here for no reason?" Pingshun asked, and involuntarily let out a long yawn.

"But it's not a big deal, it's the eldest lord's side that wants to have a banquet at noon tomorrow, and the wife is afraid that she won't be able to catch up in the morning, so she sent me to inform me in advance, so that the third master and the third grandmother can prepare early, and the eldest master is not happy when he gets late!"

"There's no hurry, it's just early tomorrow morning, and it's too late!" Pingshun said slowly, "It's only the fourth watch now, and we can't disturb the third master and the third grandmother to sleep, so we can only wait for dawn and then go to tell you." You came overnight, you must be very tired, come in and have a cup of tea, and then rest on the bed, tomorrow, let's go back together! ”

Wangcai snorted, and after answering in a hurry, he couldn't help but enter the courtyard with joy, and then reflexively closed the door and plugged in the door bolt.

About another hour passed, and the dawn appeared, and a round of morning sun rose vigorously from the balance line.

Pingshun hurried to Shen Fu early to make it clear, Shen Fu heard that it was a happy event, and he could also meet his second brother-in-law, he was only happy in his heart, and discussed it with Chen Yun at the moment, and quickly sent someone to inform Shen Xueru, set up a carriage, and hurriedly rushed to the house.

Back to the Shen Mansion, when the time was coming to an end, Shen Fu saw that there were a few boxes outside the main hall, and there were some things with red hanging next to them, and he knew that this was Nacai, so he happily entered the Hui Hall, wanting to see the character of the second brother-in-law.

Chen Yun hindered the identity of the woman, and it was not good to show her head and feet everywhere, so she had to go to the side hall. When I entered the house, I saw a room of children talking and laughing, and they were happy.

Seeing her coming, Chen hurriedly walked over and said, "It's okay."

Come back before punctuality, or your uncle will have to worry about it! ”

Chen Yun was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly glanced at the seat, but she didn't see Shen's mother sitting in it, and even Mrs. Wu and Aunt Lin were nowhere to be seen, so she couldn't help but be curious: "On such a festive day today, why didn't the ancestor come to join in the fun?" ”

"The weather has been very hot recently, and the old lady is too lazy to move, not to mention that it is not a day to go out, so there is no need to be too excited!" Chen Shi said, and led Chen Yun to his seat, "You and Fu'er went to Canglang Pavilion for a few days, but you still had a good time?" ”

"Really calculated, my third sister and I only went to Canglang Pavilion once, and we can go out to play day and night!" Chen Yun said, seeing that Chen's face changed slightly, he hurriedly said: "Since Xianggong went to Jiangning Mansion, people have changed a lot, I never liked to read before, but now I don't leave my books, reading day and night, I look at it, it seems that I know how to work hard!" ”

"He's so old, he should be sensible!" Chen said, slowly sat down, and listened to the door curtain move slightly, Mrs. Wu and Aunt Lin walked in with a smile, couldn't help but smile on their faces, and greeted: "You two peeked for a long time, but you can see what is famous?" ”

Mrs. Wu took the lead in laughing and said: "I see that the new aunt in the hall is not much inferior to the eldest aunt at all, but our aunt and wife pick her nose and eyes, she can't look down on others, and I can't guess her thoughts!" ”

Mrs. Wu said, sighed helplessly, slowly walked to Chen's side, and sat down in full clothes.

Aunt Lin sat down behind her and sighed: "This son-in-law can't just look at his appearance, when he gets married, can he eat his appearance as a meal?" ”

Chen knew that she was high-spirited, and said to her face: "I heard the old lady mention once, although this new aunt's family is not rich, but fortunately, the family is innocent, and the uncle is a willing and motivated person, what's the matter, he is also worthy of our family Xueyuan!" ”

Aunt Lin didn't listen, and when she heard it, she said angrily: "What family background is innocent?" His father died 800 years earlier, leaving them orphans and widows to live in an inn. His mother has a bit of backbone, and she has been a widow for half her life, taking care of her business while pulling him to grow up. Tell me, this is also a good person? ”

"The most annoying thing is Xueyuan's little hooves, a while ago, how many rich sons and brothers came to the house, some of them are also graceful, but she is good, she can't look down on one of them, and she made me anxious to fry my lungs and intestines next to me in vain, and burn the liver and sausage."

Aunt Lin thought about it, and said that she was even more angry, and in the end, she sighed emptyly.

Chen and Mrs. Wu glanced at each other, and they all felt that Aunt Lin was too good, so they were silent for a while, and then said: "Don't be too greedy, this family business, the eldest lord nodded and agreed, I see that the eldest lord's face has been a lot ruddy recently, and his spirit is also healthy, this is a good sign, don't you flick his mind, it's boring to talk to yourself!" ”

"Master's complexion, what is the reason for people's happy events? Obviously, I went to Xuanmiaoguan to ask Emperor Dongyue, reduced my lifespan, and lent it to the master! Aunt Lin said quietly, "Again."

Yes, it is the effect of ginseng and bird's nest! ”

When Chen heard her bird's nest, he couldn't help but think of the accounts calculated a few days ago, so he smiled slowly and said, "That's it, I said how when I calculated the accounts a few days ago, there were a lot of items on your side, and it turned out that there was this reason!" ”

Aunt Lin heard it clearly, her mind turned, and she hurriedly said: "As soon as the third wife talked about this, I remembered a bad thing. Yesterday, I went to Le Shoutang to ask the old lady to say goodbye, on the way to pass by the lotus root Champs, I happened to bump into a few little girls chewing the root of the tongue, so I went up to listen, who knew that they were talking about me, saying that I was full of private pockets, and took the money for the eldest lord's treatment to buy a dowry for Xueyuan, this is not nonsense? I have an aunt, no matter how bad it is, I can't do such a shameless thing, if this is discovered, do I want this old face anymore? ”

"Don't you know what these maids and servants in our house are like? There is no wind and waves, and there are wind and waves, which one is easy to provoke? One by one, they wipe their mouths and adjust their mouths, all of them are good at turning the rudder with the wind and pushing the boat along the water! Chen said with deep feeling, "Let's not talk about the side, let's take the year when I just took over the housekeeping power from my sister-in-law." At that time, except for those around me who were accustomed to being called, and were willing to bow down and obey orders, no one else was convinced and willing to let me drive. At that time, I was struggling, as long as the attitude was harder, they said that you were a new official and took office with three fires, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, if the attitude was softer, they said that it was difficult to serve the Bodhisattva with a pout. What happened in the end? You have to kill chickens and monkeys, scare them well, and let them know how powerful the master is! ”

Aunt Lin listened to it on a whim, and finally suddenly sobered up, and said in frustration: "Mrs. is in the main room, so she can naturally stand up to her waist and play ruthlessly, but I am a partial house, I am soft-spoken, and my foundation is thin, but I don't have this talent!" ”

Chan was noncommittal.

At this time, a maid came in from outside, and Mrs. Wu took a fixed look, and saw that the person who came out was Furong next to Shen Xueqing, and couldn't help but wonder: "Aren't you the girl next to Xueqing?" ”

Furong slowly stood still, blessed her body, and said: "Our grandmother just met the master, and now she has gone to the big lady's courtyard, and the slave maid is here to say a word for grandma!" ”

Aunt Lin sneered coldly and muttered in a low voice: "My mother is my mother!" ”

Chen didn't care, but asked Furong: "Your grandmother is five months pregnant, it's time to be pregnant, right?" ”

Fleur nodded slightly.

Chen didn't have anything else to ask, so he waved his hand and motioned for Fleur to stand down.

As soon as Furong left her sight, Aunt Hong couldn't bear the loneliness and said, "Don't blame me for talking too much, ladies, this spring has passed now, and even cats don't send it. The spring chaos is howling, and the maids in our house are not restless, and they run to the outer courtyard when they see the sky, and they don't know what they are busy with? ”

"You, don't you just want to say that the maids have a spring heart?" Aunt Lin thought that Aunt Hong was unhappy, and on the one hand she showed a look of contempt, and on the other hand, she said, "What is there that you dare not say directly?" I've even seen it a few times in private! ”

Chen, listen to them, you come to me

To, to put it mildly, I couldn't help but say: "This is my negligence, I don't even know that there are so many incorruptible and shameless girls in the house, if our house has a bad reputation in this in the future, and it will affect the wives and young ladies in vain, don't say that the old lady doesn't spare me, I will regret my death first!" Come on, I kind of know, when I go back, I will immediately cut out those restless ones, save a mouse poop and spoil a pot of soup, and let us bear the notoriety in vain! ”

Mrs. Wu nodded yes and said, "I have already had the heart to tell you, our house is now less profitable, and it is really difficult to make a living just by relying on my master and third brother." From the old lady to the young lady in our house, there are no idle people in the courtyard, according to me, there is no need to raise them, they should be coaxed, they should be coaxed, not only the surroundings are clean, but also a lot of incidents are saved! ”

Chen listened to it with an open mind, Mrs. Wu's words were right in her arms, so she stiffened her waist and said: "The second sister-in-law can be regarded as thinking of a piece with me, our house is indeed not as good as before, there is no need to raise so many idlers to eat idle meals, but the old lady has never spoken, and I am not good at speaking out, for fear of upsetting you, now we have the same idea, I will go back to the old lady tomorrow, starting from my courtyard, first blast out those who are restless, and then drive out those who have reached the age, and the ones who should be matched with the little guys, Those who should be sent home are sent home, and we are out of sight and out of mind! ”

Mrs. Wu nodded yes.
