So when Du Rongzhi reappeared in Mrs. Song's Jinghui Garden, in addition to the faint layer of green black under her eyes, her little face was also dull, and she didn't look like she had rested well.

"Ouch!" The second lady snorted lightly, took Du Rongzhi's hand and said with a concerned face, "What's wrong with the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law?" Look at this little face with a sallow face, it's really distressing. ”

Du Rongzhi pursed her lips embarrassedly, "My nephew and daughter-in-law drank a few more glasses at the banquet yesterday, and when I went back, I had a headache, and I didn't sleep well at night...... The second aunt was worried. ”

The second lady nodded, her eyes quickly swept over the old lady Song, who had a calm face and lowered her head to drink tea, and said meaningfully, "Yesterday...... It's really hard for you. ”

Du Rongzhi just couldn't understand her voice, and smiled shyly, "It's all because my nephew and daughter-in-law don't drink well, but in fact, there's nothing to work hard for-"

"That's right," Du Rongzhi hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted by the second lady's thin voice, she pinched the handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled, "If you really talk about hard work, even if you add up all of us, I'm afraid it won't be as good as your mother." This time, for Sister Guan's first birthday banquet, the sister-in-law is busy before and after, and Zhang Luo is really tired. ”

Shen sat up straight, and only hooked his lips coldly when he heard the words. Shen Shuyan, who was beside her, looked at her aunt worriedly and lowered her eyes.

Du Rongzhi nodded gently, "Second Aunt is right. ”

"It's just that Guan'er caught the week yesterday, and it was really brilliant, but it was too thrilling." The second lady smacked her lips, "Even I was watching from the side at the time, I was terrified, for fear that one would not be good-"

"Bang-" The teacup in Mrs. Song's hand rested heavily on the case, and said with a calm face, "Have you said enough!" ”

The second lady's voice froze. If she had changed her usual times, Old Madam Song would have been so merciless in front of her elders, she would have been ashamed and annoyed, but today, the emotion of wanting to see someone's jokes has overwhelmed everything.

I saw that the second lady was not only not displeased at all, but also said apologetically, "The daughter-in-law just felt it in her heart for a while, so she said a few more words to the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law...... She also asked her mother to forgive her daughter-in-law. ”

Old Madam Song snorted coldly, and then looked at Du Rongzhi's face before softening, "Brother Xun's daughter-in-law also sit and talk." ”

"Yes, grandmother." Du Rongzhi smiled, and then sat down on the pestle brought by the girl.

"Now that everyone is here, I have something to say to you." Old Madam Song's eyes looked around, and said slowly, "You all saw what happened yesterday...... If it weren't for our clever and filial piety, our family would have become a joke in the capital today. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen stood up with her head down, "It's all because my daughter-in-law is not strict and has failed to live up to my mother's trust...... The daughter-in-law is willing to accept the punishment. ”

The second lady pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and glanced gloatingly at the third lady beside her. The latter pursed his lips and frowned slightly.

Du Rongzhi only lowered her eyes and casually buttoned the butterflies fluttering on the skirt. I heard that as soon as the banquet was dispersed yesterday, the Shen family rushed over to plead the old lady Song, so I don't know how much she knows the old lady's decision today......

Old Madam Song motioned for Shen to sit down, and said calmly, "Your housekeeper has been in charge of the house for so many years, as your brother and sister said, it is very hard to take care of the housework, inside and outside. Especially in the past two years, Brother Xun and Brother Xi have married one after another, and the population in the house has become more and more...... So many things are all counting on you to support and do it alone, and it is inevitable that you will not be able to do it. Old Madam Song paused, "So although there was such a big mistake yesterday, I don't want to blame you for this." ”51

Shen's face was full of guilt, "Thank you mother for your compassion...... The daughter-in-law is really ashamed. ”

Old Madam Song waved her hand lightly and continued, "Now that Ziye and they have also reached the age of kissing, there will be more happy events for our family in the future...... I have thought about it carefully, in the future, let your two younger siblings and daughter-in-law help share some of the housekeeping affairs, even if you are too busy or inconsiderate for a while, they can also help make up for it, so that the burden on your body will be much easier. ”

Shen's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched hard.

This old pious woman turned out to be such an idea! She now suspected that the seal was deliberately mixed in by this old thing, in order to take away the power of the family in her hands and pave the way for her beloved eldest grandson!

Shen's gaze quickly swept over Du Rongzhi's slightly dazed and stunned face, and most of his earlier suspicions about Du Rongzhi were unconsciously dispelled.

She hurriedly grateful, "It's still my mother who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Seeing that her expression was respectful, Mrs. Song didn't show any unwillingness, and nodded with a slight face, "That's it, the second daughter-in-law ......."

"My daughter-in-law is here." The second lady hurriedly replied with joy.

"In the future, you will help your sister-in-law manage the affairs of the needlework room, and then walk around with the various mansions later, and the two of you will do it at your discretion."

The second lady was slightly disappointed. She had thought she would get a fatter errand...... But after thinking about it, although there is no benefit to this relationship, it is good enough, and it can also make friends with the ladies of various provinces, so why can't they find a satisfactory girl for their family Ye brother in the future? Therefore, after a little struggle, I happily accepted it.

"The third daughter-in-law will take care of the kitchen." Old Madam Song looked at the restrained third lady and said lightly, "Sister Lan is getting older now, and the housekeeper must be learned as soon as possible...... In the future, I will go to my husband's house, and no one will dare to underestimate it. ”

The third lady was grateful when she heard this: "Yes, mother, daughter-in-law must teach Sister Lan well and never disappoint your old man's expectations." ”

The second lady pursed her lips disappreciatively.

The old lady really still prefers a big house...... gave them the needlework room with no oil and water and the dirty kitchen, but the economic power was still in the hands of the big house, and it was only the uninformed hillbilly of the Zhong family that he was grateful to Dade for such a small profit......

The second lady thought like this, and because she felt that her errand was more decent than the scenery from the Zhong family, her heart was also more satisfied.

The two daughters-in-law divided the work, and the old lady Song turned her eyes to Shen Shuyan and Du Rongzhi, and her tone was obviously much kinder, "Yan Yatou has been doing a good job in the past few days when she entered the door...... In the future, you will be in charge of the treasury and the monthly payment. She paused, "You don't need to be too stressed, if you really don't have enough energy, or if you don't understand something, just look for your mother or find me." ”

Shen Shuyan looked at Shen Shi and answered cautiously.

Du Rongzhi listened silently, thinking that Old Madam Song was very serious about Shen Shuyan, and she saved face for Dafang and the Shen family...... I heard Mrs. Song call her name.
