"Zhong Lingyu, Zhong Lingyu, the sins of heaven are especially forgivable, and you can't live for your own sins. Offend me, see what good life you have! Gao said to himself proudly, took out the mirror and looked at it, straightened his clothes, and told Ah Xue to watch the door, go to the kitchen to pick up a few zongzi, and go to the Ye Mansion with a handkerchief.

She is very interesting, except for going to Mrs. Ye every morning to say goodbye, Mrs. Ye does not summon her, she will not always come to the front to dislike people. However, she can get as good as she gets in front of Mrs. Ye, and naturally she has a trick, that is, she is closer to the people of the Ye Mansion and gives them some small favors from time to time. Think about it, every once in a while, someone mentioned the Gao family in Mrs. Ye's ear, saying how she was kind and polite, how she was capable, and Mrs. Ye was not impressed by her.

Now that she is free, she wants to go to the place where the people of the Ye Mansion live, and also inquire about the situation in Mrs. Ye's place.

Today, she was also lucky, as soon as she entered the alley behind Ye's mansion, she happened to meet a grandmother surnamed Mao in Mrs. Ye's courtyard. She opened the lid of the bamboo basket, revealing the zongzi inside, and said with a smile: "I am greedy, so I wrapped a few zongzi." I don't dare to eat alone, thinking about the care that my grandmothers take care of me on weekdays, I specially brought it to you to taste. If you don't do it well, don't dislike it. ”

Mama Mao was familiar with Gao's family, and she was not polite, she took a zongzi and opened the bamboo leaves, took a bite, and asked inarticulately: "Madame is here at this time, but is there something wrong?" ”

On weekdays, the Gao family chooses the time when everyone has leisure, when there are many people and it is lively. Now everyone is still busy in front of the master, and Mama Mao has just finished cleaning the yard before returning home.

Gao didn't hide it, and told Mama Mao about it, saying, "I want to ask what Madame thinks of me." ”

Gao's smartest place is here. She knows when to be honest and when to hide. At this time, when she heard that Gao didn't hide anything from herself, told herself everything, and regarded herself as a character, Mama Mao was greatly moved, and she just wanted to take care of each other, and immediately said: "Don't worry, I'll help you inquire, you wait here, and I'll be back soon." ”

Gao knows that these subordinates are related to each other, although Mama Mao is a rough woman, she has been in the yard for so long, so she naturally has good acquaintances and status. It didn't take much effort for her to inquire about this kind of thing, and immediately smiled: "Okay, I'll wait here." Then he handed the basket to Mama Mao, "Give it to your grandson." ”

This can speak, Mama Mao has finished eating the zongzi, and at this time wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and did not shirk, and carried the basket: "If you don't think my house is dirty, go into my courtyard and sit." ”

Gao's is not a golden nobleman, her house in the countryside is dirtier than Mama Mao, and there is a request for help at this time, where will she dislike it? followed Mama Mao into the yard.

Mama Mao took a stool for Gao to sit in the courtyard, vacated the zongzi, put the empty basket next to Song, and said to her, "Wait." With that, he went out.

Sure enough, Gao waited not long before she came back, smiling, clapping her hands and saying, "It's okay." Madame sent someone to inquire, and the rhetoric of those people in the Zhong Mansion was exactly the same as that of Madame Gao. After hearing this, Madame was very angry, and said that she would send someone to Zhongfu to reason with Miss Zhong. was only persuaded by the young master, saying that Master Zhong had just passed away, and at this time, people were sent to reprimand Miss Zhong one after another, and it was known that she spoke unpleasantly. ”

Really!

When Gao heard this, he not only disliked it, but he was sad.

It's useless just that Mrs. Ye has a bad impression of Zhong Lingyu, and Ye Xiaoqing also hates Zhong Lingyu.

Ye Xiaoqing's branch is thin, and his father only gave birth to him. Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye spoil him like something, if he really can't bear Zhong Lingyu and marry her, even if Zhong Lingyu loses her conscience and commits a crime, Mrs. Ye estimates that she will have to help her get Zhong Lingyu out of prison and marry her into the door.

But if Ye Xiaoqing gets tired of Zhong Lingyu and takes the initiative to withdraw from his family, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

She cheered up and said to Mama Mao with a smile: "Thanks to you today, help me inquire about the news, or I will have to stay up tonight, and I will not be able to sleep." Alas, how is Miss Zhong such a person? After she entered the door, I didn't care, I didn't have to climb the threshold a few times. It's going to be hard for you. She married in, and her wife appointed her to be the head of the house. Such an arrogant and domineering master who does not know how to respect the old man is difficult to serve. You haven't gotten to dodge yet. ”

Mama Mao didn't think much about it, but after being said by Gao's words, she pondered it carefully, frowned, and said, "We are people from the lady's courtyard, she doesn't dare to disrespect her, right?" ”

Gao didn't say it clearly, only pouted: "Maybe." As he spoke, he stood up and put on the basket, "It's not early, I'll go back first." I haven't picked the dishes for the evening yet. ”

Mama Mao smiled: "Isn't buying that little girl just to work?" Do you want to do it yourself? "While sending Gao out.

When the Gao family walked away, the more Mama Mao pondered, the more she felt bad: "A relative like Mrs. Gao was still sent by Mrs. Gao, and Miss Zhong was so unreasonable to her, are we still in her eyes?" Isn't it that you can fight when you want to hit and scold when you want? has the young master to protect her, even the lady can't do anything about her. Oh, how can this be born? No, I'll have to talk to them when they come back. ”

Zhong Lingyu sent Mama Wu on the road early the next morning, and she instructed the maid: "Xiaogu, Aunt Du went over there, and said that I was going up the mountain and asked the third young master if he wanted to go with him." ”

"Why do you have to go up the mountain again? Tea leaves don't grow that quickly, do they? The nurse was shocked.

"Master Onishi asked Ming'er to send me a message and let me go to his place. I was busy a while ago, and I haven't been able to spare time. No, take advantage of this opportunity to run again. ”

When the nurse heard this, she quickly closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Who is Master Onishi? Founder of pineapple tea. Ba County made a fortune with pineapple tea, which one doesn't worship Master Onishi as a god? Others can't get close to Master Onishi. Now that Master Onishi took the initiative to invite him, Zhong Lingyu delayed for a few days to go, which was already disrespectful. How dare she stop her from going up the mountain again?

After a while, Zhong Lingzhi came in neatly dressed, and said happily as soon as he entered the door: "Eldest sister, do you really want to take me up the mountain?" ”

"Nature." Zhong Lingyu glanced back at him with a smile, and saw that he was only wearing a jacket, not even a cloak, frowned, turned his head and ordered Chunli, "Bring the plain little jacket I made for Zhi'er and change it for him." ”

Zhong Lingzhi hurriedly said: "No, I'm not cold." My mother yelled at me to wear thicker, and I was pushed off. Sister, don't worry about it anymore. I am strong and not afraid of the cold. Besides, it's spring, and the weather is warm. ”

Zhong Lingyu gently persuaded: "The temperature on the mountain is low, and the cold is heavy, so you need to wear more clothes than under the mountain, otherwise you will be easy to get sick." Seeing that Zhong Lingzhi wanted to argue again, she couldn't help but look slightly gloomy, "Obedient, it's not good to have a cold." ”

Zhong Lingyu has always been gentle to Zhong Lingzhi, but somehow, Zhong Lingzhi is always a little afraid of her. Now seeing that she lowered her face to speak, she didn't dare to have any objections, and obediently asked Chunli to change his clothes.

At this time, Zhong Lingyu also packed up, stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

The sister and brother went out all the way, took two carriages, and went straight to Songluo Mountain.

The weather has been sunny these days, and the road surface is much easier than the last time Zhong Lingyu went up the mountain, and after half an hour, the carriage stopped at the gate of the tea garden.

Su Yuwan got out of the carriage and said to Zhong Lingzhi: "I'm going to Songluo Nunnery, I won't be back until dinner, after you go in and settle it properly, follow Steward Li to take a look around, how to take care of the tea trees, what to pay attention to when picking tea, how to fry tea, Steward Li will tell you." To manage a tea plantation, you must know all these things so that you don't get confused. ”

Steward Li had already received a message from the guards and was waiting at the gate of the tea garden. At this time, he smiled and said to Zhong Lingzhi: "Third Young Master, please come here." ”
