Leng Shuang thought seriously before he spoke: "Three years ago, I was one-on-one with her, and I won three moves, but now, I don't know." ”

"Three moves are enough." Qin Yunuan pulled her somewhat loose bun, and her eyes only looked at the snow tree and plum blossom tree outside, it seemed that this weather was about to snow.

Within two days, a goose-feather heavy snow really fell, it was a rare cold winter in Daqi, and there were two news in the palace, one was that the third prince Sima Rui felt that Daqi was full of disasters, and he couldn't bear it, so he took the initiative to ask to go to the imperial tomb to worship the ancestors and add incense, and the second was that Shangguan Yuan was named the Duke of Dingguo after Princess Jin and Princess got married.

"It's shameless to sell your daughter for a knighthood." Xi'er is holding the last silk thread for Qin Yunuan, and a picture of a crane is about to be completed, but this eye still can't find a suitable silk thread, it is too impetuous to use crow green, and too dull to use jet black.

"He may not be able to hold this title himself, so what do you worry about for him." Qin Yunuan glanced at Xi'er, Xi'er is good at everything, but some are a little arrogant, some like Tong'er in the past, Qin Yunuan frowned, just begging Tong'er not to happen again, eventful, she can't stand betrayal anymore.

There were a few noises outside the courtyard, like a group of daughters' families gathering to discuss something, Qin Yunuan glanced outside, saw a familiar figure, frowned, and asked Man'er beside her: "Mother Liao looks very busy this time." ”

Man Er couldn't help frowning, and prevaricated: "Yes, now that the third young grandmother is prominent, there are few people in this palace, Mother Liao is the number one in our yard, and those little maids are naturally competing to please her." ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that," Xi'er said angrily, "Where is it just to please now?" I heard that Liao's mother only arranged for two third-class maids to enter our yard yesterday, and let me take care of them. ”

Xi'er was open-mouthed, and Man'er, who had some friendship with Liao's mother, was naturally uncomfortable, but Xi'er's words were true, and she had to nod and echo: "There is indeed this matter, and I have heard about it." ”

Qin Yunuan twisted the last thread with scissors, and the whole picture of the crane was only missing the eyes of the crane, loosening the somewhat sore shoulders, Qin Yunuan ordered: "Go and bring those two third-class maids to me." ”

"Three young grandmothers." Man'er persuaded, "Why bother to be angry with those two nameless juniors, just teach the slave and maid a lesson." ”

Qin Yunuan shook his head: "They were also introduced by Liao's mother in the end, you go to teach a lesson, wouldn't it be a shame for Liao's mother, now that there are strong winds and waves outside, I also have to let the people in the yard know that since I am working in my yard, my eyes and ears are cleaned;

。 ”

Man'er nodded in response, and after a while, the two third-class maids were brought, obviously the third-class maids who helped in the kitchen, but the material on their bodies was very clean, there were no sweat stains and oil stains, and the pair of white-bottomed mandarin duck embroidered shoes on their feet were not stained with mud at all, and the plain silver hairpin on their heads was better than Tingxue and Man'er's head.

Qin Yunuan glanced at the two of them up and down, suddenly smiled, only signaled Man'er for a look, and then turned around and entered the inner room.

Man'er immediately greeted the two of them to the yard with a smile, pointed to a pile of firewood as high as a hill and said to the two maids: "Recently, our young grandmother has a habit, I like to listen to the sound of chopping firewood for a nap, today I will be cheap for you, remember, good chopping, the third young grandmother can't stop chopping firewood if she doesn't get up, Xi'er will watch you." ”

Xi'er smiled and handed two blunt firewood knives to the two maids: "Yes, remember, chop well." ”

The two maids looked at each other, but neither dared to say anything.

The sound of chopping wood outside was endless, in the cold winter, the two maids soon sweated profusely, the sweaty placket was attached to the back, and the wind blew through the biting cold, in the house, Qin Yunuan was tasting a cup of sour jujube soup with warmth, and her appetite was really getting more and more tricky, what was the most sour and favorite to eat, even the sour jujube soup in this sour jujube soup was several times that of weekdays.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a light knock on the door outside, it was Man'er who went out to open the door, and the sophisticated and hoarse voice knew that it was Liao's mother as soon as he heard it.

"Is the young grandmother up?"

"Not yet? The young grandmother has become more and more sleepy recently, and you don't know it, Mother Liao. ”

"Yo, it's been this hour, and I've slept for a long time, I'm afraid it's not good for my body."

Man'er smiled, didn't she understand Liao's mother's mind? only said: "Mother Liao, you and I are both slaves, where does this master dare to guess at will?" Just then, there was a scream outside.

"Oh no, Sister Agarwood has chopped her hand, oops, there is a lot of blood."

This one called agarwood is the one that is slightly taller of the two maids, and it looks delicate.

Liao's mother was about to continue to deal with Man'er, but Qin Yunuan was already standing at the door neatly dressed, her hands crossed in front of the exquisite jade in the center of her belt, and her dignified and elegant appearance clearly told Liao's mother that she was the master of the yard.

"What's wrong? Noisy. ”

"Hui Sanshao Grandma" Xi'er, who supervised the two maids chopping wood, came in and said, "It's the maid named Agarwood who chopped wood and chopped her finger, it's fine, but she broke a little finger." ”

But a broken little finger?

Liao's mother trembled, looking at Qin Yunuan with some horror, but when she saw Qin Yunuan, she lowered her eyes indifferently, and just looked at the emerald emerald bracelet in her hand: "Oh, it turned out to be a trivial matter, just give her ten taels of silver and send her home, but I really don't remember when there was an extra maid named Agarwood in the yard." Qin Yunuan glanced at Liao's mother, "Liao's mother, do you know?" ”

"Slave maid...... Slaves......;

。 Mother Liao stammered a little, but the two maids were already begging Mother Liao in the yard, "Mother Liao, the slave maid has given you all her net worth, you promised to ensure the glory and wealth of the slave maid, you also said that you can see the third young master more in the courtyard of the third young grandmother, and when the time comes, you will naturally get ahead, Mother Liao, you can help us." ”

"Nonsense!" Liao's mother immediately rushed over with a fierce face and slapped the maid fiercely, "When did I say that, you hooves, don't you know what you are thinking every day?" How could I give you the opportunity to contact the third young master. ”

"Mother Liao, how can you do this?" The agarwood tears with broken fingers were swaying, although her family was also full, but in order to please and bribe this Liao's mother, she took out all the things at the bottom of the box, who would have expected Liao's mother to turn her face like this and not admit it, she was not afraid "Mother Liao, you clearly said that even if you can't be accepted by the third young master, when the young master of the Qin family grows up, she will also have to be a girl, is it true that my twenty taels of silver are given for nothing?" I have a receipt, don't try to deny it. ”

Twenty taels, which can be equivalent to a year's monthly silver of Liao's mother.

"Mother Liao, you even got the young master's idea." Man'er couldn't help it, "The young master is only six years old, Mother Liao, you are really confused." ”

Qin Yunuan slowly moved her eyes to Mother Liao, whose face was pale: "Mother Liao, what else do you have to say." ”

Liao's mother hurriedly stepped forward, stopped the hand of Agarwood who took out the receipt, and knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Yunuan: "Third young grandmother, it's me who is confused, I think, Dashi is twenty-four this year, and he has never married, and I also want to keep some dowry money for Dashi." ”

"And what are those words you put out there?" Man'er asked, "You tell the outside world, no matter how big the new grandmother is, it is just a steproom, and this family will still be handed over to the third young grandmother after all, do you know that there are such rumors in the bride's house, aren't you bent on picking on the unhappiness between the grandmother and the third young grandmother?" ”

"Slave maid...... Slaves....... ”

"Okay" Qin Yunuan didn't want to be involved more, "Mother Liao, from today on, you will give the key in your hand to Man'er, and the housekeeper and pick people will be handed over to Tingxue, and you don't need to serve in the yard for the time being, you go home first and think about it, what to do in the future, think about it, and then come back." ”

This is tantamount to refrigerating Liao's mother in disguise, but Qin Yunuan is the master, saying yes, Liao's mother held back her old anger and went down stupidly, and the people in the yard immediately dispersed, and the two little maids were also sent out of the house, Man'er and Tingxue joined hands, and soon picked out the unclean heads in the courtyard, and those who should be sent back to their original places were sent back to their original places, and those who did wrong things were punished to the back room, or they were sent out of the palace directly.

I didn't know after checking, but after this check, I realized that when Qin Yunuan was busy with the affairs in the palace for a while, Liao's mother moved so many hands and feet in private, especially the firewood room and kitchen, and the number of people was suddenly reduced by one-third, but it was okay, the people who stayed were carefully selected by Man'er and Tingxue, and they were honest in doing things.

And just after a short stick of incense, in the upper wing of the largest and most luxurious inn in the capital, a woman is drawing her eyebrows with charcoal, and a little powder on her face is already a national color and fragrance, she listened carefully to the maid's return, a trace of coquettishness appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her tone was a little disdainful: "I thought that this Pingjun Lord had a lot of ability, it turned out that even the people under his hands couldn't look at it." Oh, in this way, what am I afraid of? ”

"The big girl is wise." The maid next to him immediately echoed.

The woman's eyes raised slightly: "By the way, what you just said, the nurse surnamed Liao next to Lord Pingjun was sent home to think about it, where is her home?" ”
