Yang Baomei refilled her tea before continuing: "It was mentioned in the Liu family's letter, saying that Zhao Wangde owed a lot of money, and those who asked for debts drove out all the people in the second room, and it was also a loss to Furong to be affectionate and righteous, and bought a small house outside." Yang Baomei said, and sighed slightly: "If the wall really fell down, everyone pushed ······"

The second room of the Zhao family used to be in Qinghua Town, which was also a merchant who turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain, and they all laughed and talked in an instant, Yang Baodai thought for a moment, listened to Yang Baomei call her, took the tea she handed and said: "It's Zhao Wangde who is wrong, not the second aunt, and Furong is also a poor person." "I'm afraid I have to tell a trustworthy person to go back and see what is going on.

Qian is Zhao Yuanzhi's mentor and Zhao Yuanchun's steady mother, so he can't let it go.

Yang Baomei chattered on the melon seeds, and Yang Baodai slowly understood the situation of the mansion.

Hubu Shangshu Shengchang, originally Hubu Langzhong, and then all the way to these official ranks, the original wife Wang, Qingliu scholarly family out of the eldest lady, shoulders are three products of the order, two children under the knees, the most important eldest son Sheng Ping, Sheng Ping is the one who died, now there is a widow and daughter-in-law in the mansion, there is a son called Nian'er, according to Yang Baomei, this young grandmother is a kind-hearted, light money noble character, another Wang's son, called Sheng Qi, according to the ranking, line three, His wife's name is Jiang Xiao'an, and there are two aunts and a few rooms in the room.

This Sheng Qi seems to think that he will be the helmsman of Shangshu Mansion in the future, but he has no son under his knees, so he is desperate to live, after Wang's death, he is strongly opposed to raising Liu, who is the aunt of the twenty mothers, to be the mother-in-law, but he can't survive the father Shengchang, according to Yang Baomei, is an ancestor who doesn't give Sheng Heng a good face when he is at home.

As for the hard-working Liu, that is, Sheng Heng's mother-in-law, because her background is not very noble, and she is a square stepwife who has been raised on the surface, she has no fate, so she can only keep squeezing Sheng Heng, hoping that she can marry a famous lady and come back, so that she can completely become the master mother of Shangshu Mansion.

In one sentence, the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion is described as the relationship between the son of the wife's original partner and the stepwife's mother.

"The right of the housekeeper has always been the responsibility of the sister-in-law, she and Brother Sheng'er's dead eldest brother Floice has a deep relationship, has been reluctant to run the house, after I came, maybe I knew that I had no hope in this life, so I gave me the power to take charge of the family, but my wife intervened, and the sister-in-law only told me to follow everything with my wife, and the others were unwilling to say more, and I watched Brother Nian in the yard every day."

Yang Baomei propped his chin and knocked on the table with his fingers irritably, and finally lay on the table and pulled Yang Baodai's cuffs: "Do you say that the sister-in-law will be in the same group with the third young master, compared to Sheng Heng and them, they are not the same person at all." "Sheng Heng used to be just the son of a concubine.

Speaking of Yang Baomei, she was also very annoyed, I really don't know what the Wang family thinks, since you are dead, you can't die well? It's back, and the Liu family is not allowed to have a child! sent Sheng Heng to a foreign family to raise, and now that the original spouse of the main house is dead, he hurried to ask his son to come back to rely on.

"If the wives of all the nobles don't have sons, they can't hold their heads up in the family and even the entire capital, and the servants in the family will also talk about it, even if Sheng Heng doesn't like her mother, you have to persuade him, let him make a face appearance, and at the same time let the old lady of the Liu family write a letter to persuade the wife of your family, without the support of her mother's family, she has no confidence to gain a foothold in Shangshu Mansion."

After listening to these good things, Yang Baodai slowly had a relationship chart of the mansion personnel in her heart: "And what you have to do is to send the power of the house to Sheng Heng's mother, since you said that these housework are in the hands of the grandmother, how long has it been a widow, and the housewife will take back the power of the house, and those mouths in the capital can say that his backbone will be broken." ”

Listening to her sister's analysis, Yang Baomei also slowly sat up straight.

"Then ·····" Yang Baodai got up and walked back and forth a few steps: "The eldest young grandmother in your mouth, it is not you who gives the power of the family, it is Sheng Heng who gives it, he has no husband to rely on, and the mother-in-law who can rely on is also dead, the third young master is afraid that he is unreliable, so she wants to use this power of the family as an opportunity to show favor to the two of you, but this is just my guess······"

"Aunt Mei, the eldest young grandmother and the youngest young master are here." The girl from outside came in.

Yang Baomei was almost like a big enemy, "Come in quickly, and then go get some things that children love to eat." "She and this young grandmother Xuan Fengyi have only met once, and she is nervous at the moment.

Yang Baodai listened to the crisp sentence 'second aunt', and saw a lady in her early twenties walking in with a three-year-old boy.

"I heard that the second brother and sister's sister are coming, so I came over to say hello, but it didn't disturb your sisters' reminiscence." Xuan Fengyi walked in in a plain gown, holding a small hairpin with a white magnolia, like a green lotus and a lonely plum-like temperament, with a sandalwood smell on her body, and the whole person was not angry at all.

"The eldest young grandmother can be a concubine, where can she afford the word brother and sister, this is my sister Bao Dai." Yang Baomei got up and said goodbye.

"I just said you're a brother and sister." Xuan Fengyi raised her hand to help the person who saluted: "The second brother loves you so much, it's just a matter of time or time." She said and looked at the dignified and gentle Yang Baodai on the side, and suddenly her eyes lit up twice, she thought that the two sisters were not much different, but now this look is actually two styles: "Look, look at your sister, you will know that you will be a blessing in the future." ”

"I don't have anything for you to give as a greeting gift." Xuan Fengyi faded the white jade bracelet on her wrist into Yang Baodai's hand: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike me for being a widow." ”

originally thought it was too precious, but as soon as these words came down, Yang Baodai really didn't dare to refuse.

Yang Baodai looked at the child and looked cute, "Brother Nian, it's not called Auntie." ”

"Hello Auntie!" Brother Nian was well-behaved and asked for peace, and was taken out to play by the nurse, Yang Baomei was not at ease, and personally followed out to order Xiao Si, the girl in the yard.

Xuan Fengyi looked at Yang Baodai and said, "I can see that Sheng Heng cares about Madame's sister very much, Madame, please rest assured, how can you gain a foothold in the mansion without experiencing wind and waves?" My brother and sister are good at everything, but the temperament is harder, which is absolutely impossible, although I don't leave the house, I have heard of it, I am an outsider in the end, it is not easy to say anything, since Mrs. and my brother and sister are a family, I will talk about it well. ”

Yang Baodai was stunned, and Xuan Fengyi said: "The eldest young master is dead, and my heart is dead, and now I still have a child, and I hope he can get better in the future······"

Yang Baomei also walked in, looked at Xuan Fengyi wiping her tears inexplicably, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, what's wrong?" My sister is stupid, so don't bother with her. "After all, she is an aunt in this Shangshufu, if it weren't for Sheng Heng who valued her, she would be in a difficult situation.

This Xuan Fengyi is the daughter-in-law of Shengchang, a big man, who has to accommodate one or two!

"Let my brother and sister see and laugh." Xuan Fengyi smiled embarrassedly, at this time, Ming's mother returned the carbine, and the business was in a hurry from outside the courtyard: "Aunt Mei, Mrs. has already said that I want you to go to the front to help serve, since you are the concubine of the second young master, and today is his banquet, Aunt Mei should go quickly, Mrs. said, this is to serve the female dependents, so there is no need to greet the second young master······"

Mother Ming walked in, and saw that Xuan Fengyi was also there, and immediately went down arrogantly, and hurriedly lowered her body: "Hello young grandmother, why did you come to Aunt Mei?" ”

"Why, I can't walk around in my own house anymore? It's very lively in front of me, and I'm a widow again, so I came to talk to Aunt Mei, just now what did my mother's words mean, what? Shangshu Mansion is about to come in disaster tomorrow? Do you even need the master to serve the people outside? Won't the old man and the two young masters be people in the capital tomorrow? Aunt Mei's family is still here today, what's the matter? This is the hospitality of Shangshufu? ”

Xuan Fengyi continued to say two words, and Ming's mother had no momentum at all, so she said, "This is what Mrs. meant." ”

"If it's really what Mrs. meant, why didn't you mention it when I asked for peace today?" Xuan Fengyi slammed the table: "It's true that I'm not in charge of the house now, you think that Aunt Wu is a shy person, and my wife is a bodhisattva who is easy to handle!" In this case, I have changed my clothes and followed you, but I want to see who they are! ”

Ming's mother said: "The young grandmother can't be a concubine-"

"Concubine!? Aunt Mei was received by the second young master in his hometown as a flat wife, and sooner or later she will be a big grandmother, what? Do you think Aunt Mei is a concubine like you? Xuan Fengyi's sudden majesty made Ming's mother dare not speak, so she could only go: "Since it is the eldest young grandmother who stays to relieve her boredom, the slave maid will not bother." ”

Seeing that the people were leaving, Yang Baomei also breathed a sigh, Yang Baodai stared at Xuan Fengyi for a moment, got up and said, "Thank you for helping my sister out." ”

This person lives in a simple place, Yang Baomei also said that Su Richen and Dusk are exempted, and it is impossible to come over for no reason, and what he said just now has been clearly expressed, even if the power of the family is not in her hands, she also knows every move of the mansion.

"It's rare for you two sisters to get together, why don't you stay for a few days with Mrs. Zhao? I heard that Qinghua Town is a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, why don't you tell me about it? Xuan Fengyi took her hand and said softly.

Yang Baodai nodded, feeling that there were a lot of doorways in this Shangshu Mansion.

Suddenly, a warm voice came from outside: "Mrs. Zhao! I don't know, but I still recognize the old body! ”

Yang Baodai only felt that the voice was familiar, so she immediately walked in, and instantly laughed: "Grandma Sun!" Why are you here? ”
