The sun is already in the middle of the day, and the warm sunlight is sprinkled in front of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Under the plaque with gold characters on a black background, the two magnificent white marble lions are majestic and agile in the soft halo, as if they show a trace of simplicity in the solemn and solemn.

Unlike the peaceful front door, the Songhe Hall in the Zhenguo Mansion was lifeless at this time.

The oppressive atmosphere makes people involuntarily tense and stuffy.

Although the eldest lady Du has always regarded this atmosphere as a "good thing", she secretly gloated and waited to see the belated Danyang's good show.

But who knows, that wild girl dares to be late until this moment!

Du Shi looked at the mother-in-law who seemed to have her eyes closed, and her face became more and more ugly with the passage of time. Not only did her heart secretly drum, but cold sweat gradually broke out on her back and forehead.

There is no other reason than her mother-in-law. Although the other party was unanimously praised by outsiders, it was rare to have a good temperament. In fact, he is quite cautious and very easy to anger others. Plus a good name and a good face......

Although the old lady of the Guogong Mansion in the capital of Beijing is a good housekeeper, virtuous and dignified, she can be described as a role model and benchmark for the ladies in the capital. But in fact, the government is well governed, but it relies on strict rules and meticulous rewards and punishments.

This was experienced by Du Shi after he took over the Guogong Mansion.

Of course, since she married into the Guogong Mansion, she has not been less fed in the palm of her hand, and it is easier to operate to improve it. This is why the rules of the Guogong Mansion have now become a beautiful talk praised by all major clans in Beijing.

And these rules, she heard, are all from the hands of the old country's grandfather. Just to sympathize with his wife's frailty, and he was not from a wealthy family, he was not good at general affairs, so he moved a set of methods for governing the army to his home.

And this is not what surprised her the most, what made her envious the most was that in order to fulfill his wife's reputation, the old grandfather was completely willing to hide behind the scenes and count all the credit in the name of Mrs. Wu.

Except for a few henchmen who knew a little, even the children of the two, that is, her husband, didn't know!

In contrast, her husband, who only knows military affairs and travel, is simply Du's nightmare.

is also because of this, the eldest lady who does not have her husband's considerate support. I always think that I relied on myself and bothered to win the blue eyes of my mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, and got the support of the other party. Only then did he have his current status and power in the Guogong Mansion.

Therefore, if Danyang really dares to make an appointment today. The Du family, which has something to do with this, is definitely the first to be unlucky.

Hey, could it be that wild girl who hit this ghost idea? Would you rather be punished by Qinghe than drag her into the water?!

Thinking of yesterday in Mingxia Juli, there was a tense atmosphere for a moment. and the smiling face that Danyang brought out in a blink of an eye.

Du suddenly realized that he must be a trick, and he could no longer sit on the sidelines and wait to watch the play.

She secretly raised her head and took a deep look at Mama Feng behind the old lady. And when the other party noticed and looked back, he immediately made two silent looks.

After that, Du Shi quietly lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened, and continued to pose with his eyes and nose and nose and heart.

Mama Feng immediately understood, and her cheeks flushed excitedly.

You must know that she deliberately rushed to the Guogong Mansion much earlier this morning, just to explain yesterday's misunderstanding in front of the current Duchess and Du.

But the other party is everyone's housewife, and thousands of trivial matters need to be dealt with urgently. And because Danyang is coming today, I need to line up the time and accompany the old lady. Therefore, the effort given to her is not less than a cup of tea.

In such a short period of time, I have been thinking about the rhetoric of Mama Feng for a night, and when I bump into each other, you can imagine how regretful and regretful Mama Feng is.

Even until this moment, she was sighing that she hadn't brought out the best in her preparations. and felt that the cold attitude of the Duchess was mostly due to her failure to play well.

Who knows, the opportunity to perform again came so quickly!

Because of this, Mama Feng was motivated in an instant.

But considering Mrs. Wu's mood, she tried her best to suppress her overly high mood. At the same time, he secretly considered his words, and stepped forward lightly, came to the side of Old Madam Wu, leaned over and whispered softly:

"Old lady, would you like to have some lunch first?" Yesterday, the county lord said in front of the eldest princess of Qinghe that he wanted to come to see you, and he must not come for no reason. But it's not a problem for you to just wait. ”

Old Madam Wu's face, which was already blue, darkened again after hearing this.

It's just that although her face is not good-looking, she doesn't have any fierce performance. didn't open his eyes, and after a while, he was relieved, and then asked lightly:

"What time is it?"

Mrs. Wu once regarded Mama Feng as a confidant, but it has been so many years since the other party left her side, and she is no longer emotionally close. This will inevitably give birth to some diaphragms, and it is natural to put up a shelf on the face.

Although Mama Feng had expected this, when she came to ask for peace this morning and served Mrs. Wu to wash up with her own hands, there was nothing unusual, and she was still in a trance, which made her faintly look forward to it.

But at this time, I saw through it, and my heart was half cold. But he couldn't help but sigh again that his precautions were really right.

Even if it is difficult for her to return to the Guogong Mansion, it will be difficult to speak in front of the old lady, as long as she can keep the straw of the current Guogong Mansion, her family in the Guogong Mansion will still not be defeated.

And even if the old lady is no longer as close to and trusting her as she was back then, this does not affect the merits she has made for the old lady.

At the critical time, she still has the confidence to be able to speak in front of the old lady.

Thinking of this, Mama Feng subconsciously touched her wrist. Specially brought today, the old lady once appreciated the string of beads.

Although her heart turned a thousand times, there was no trace of it on her face.

After bowing respectfully, Mama Feng raised her eyes to see the missing moment in the corner of the room, and replied softly:

"It's a quarter of noon, half an hour later than when you used to eat."

Old Madam Wu just wanted to open her mouth and say, "A few years ago, after the old lady invited a famous doctor in the palace to recuperate, the time for lunch was postponed. ’

But as soon as the words came to her lips, she changed her mind, and waved her hand helplessly:

"Forget it. Danyang girl doesn't know where crazy she is, let's not wait for a while, you go and set the meal. Remember, leave a pair of bowls and chopsticks for the girl, and the rice will be placed in the side hall of Songhe Hall. ”

If it weren't for Mama Feng and the eldest lady Du, it would be an old man who had been with Mrs. Wu for several years. Based on these two sentences, as well as the demeanor and tone of the other party's speech, it is difficult to think that this is a trick given to Danyang by Mrs. Wu.

When Du Shi heard this, he sighed in his heart, but at the same time, he was also relieved.

Now that the old lady has turned her attention to Danyang, and it seems that she has made up her mind to pay attention to the other party, then the possibility of her being noticed is very small.

That is to say, for a period of time after that, she will be able to watch the play with peace of mind.
