"It's good to have beautiful children." Mrs. Wugu looked at Ke Shi and said with a smile.

She was in her forties, dressed in a half-worn satin dress, with only a silver hairpin and a beaded flower on her head. Looking at the color of the clothes she wears, she doesn't look like a widow, and her family is not well-off.

Sure enough, the greeting gift she handed over was a handkerchief for each person. The embroidery on the handkerchief is quite delicate, but the fabric is very ordinary.

The old lady pointed to the girl again, "This is the daughter of your fifth aunt's wife, whose surname is Yu, and her single name is Yue." ”

Yu Yue stood up as early as when Ke Shi and the others entered the door. She is better dressed than Mrs. Wugu, and the dresses on her body are all brand new, with a silver-red dress with a green gown, and the hairpin ring beads are not inferior to everyone else. Although her appearance is not as good as Zhong Lingyu, it is not much worse; There is also a kind of shy and cowardly, I see pity temperament, which makes people feel pity.

Seeing the mother and daughter, Ke Shi felt sorry in his heart.

The fifth aunt's gaze fell on Zhong Lingyu.

Zhong Lingyu's identity was known when the old lady introduced her just now. At this time, Zhong Lingyu was wearing a light blue satin embroidered bamboo pattern dress, with only a white hosta hairpin on her head, a beaded flower on her temples, and a pair of pearl studs the size of soybeans on her ears. But she has outstanding appearance, elegant and calm posture, just standing next to Sun Xuemiao and Sun Xuehui, who are dressed in bright silk and hairpins full of beads, when people look at it, there is only her in their eyes.

Look at her daughter, and then look at Zhong Lingyu, Mrs. Wugu's hand squeezing her handkerchief tightened.

She smiled and said to Mrs. Sun: "This Miss Su, I look very kind, as if I have seen it somewhere. ”

Mrs. Sun smiled: "She looks like her grandmother, you naturally feel kind." ”

"Oh, isn't it? It's really like when Sister Hong was young. Mrs. Wugu suddenly realized and asked again, "Are you engaged?" Where did you book it? My husband has a nephew who is a good match for Miss Zhong. If I hadn't been engaged, I'd have wanted to be a matchmaker. ”

After saying this, she seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to speak like this in front of Miss Ren, and hurriedly added: "Auntie, don't blame, I look at this Miss Zhong's appearance and behavior, I can't love it, I really can't help it......"

What does Mrs. Wugu mean when she says this, Mrs. Sun and the Bai family are like mirrors in their hearts. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other, and Bai smiled and said: "Because Yu'er and my aunt look similar, my father-in-law has sent a message, saying that he must give Yu'er a good family affair." Mrs. Wugu has a suitable candidate, so it's good to hurry. When Ming'er and Mrs. Zhong come here, you will sum up. ”

Hearing that Mrs. Wugu suddenly talked about her own family affairs, Zhong Lingyu frowned, but she had to lower her head and act shy, but she was very angry with this Mrs. Wugu in her heart.

Mrs. Wugu's thoughts, not only Mrs. Zhong and the Bai family can see it, Zhong Lingyu can also guess a few points, it is nothing more than because Zhong Lingyu is more beautiful than Yu Yue, although the clothes on her body are plain, but the material is also much more advanced than what Mrs. Wugu's mother and daughter are wearing, so she feels that Zhong Lingyu is a competitor and wants to find out about her situation.

The identity of the eldest young master and concubine of the Sun family, who wants to fight with you?!

Not only Zhong Lingyu was annoyed, but even Chunli Xiaogu, who saw the situation clearly, was also annoyed - only the two of them were the two maids who followed Zhong Lingyu out today.

Ke Shi was still a little overwhelmed at first, but when she saw Mrs. Wugu's move, and then saw Yu Yue sitting there stiffly, she raised her head slightly and rolled her eyelids up when she wanted to see people.

"Old lady, madam, a few sisters are tired of walking outside just now, why don't I take them down first." She stood up.

When it comes to family affairs, it is really inconvenient for a few girls who have not left the cabinet to listen. Old Madam Sun waved her hand and said to Ke Shi, "Okay, you guys go back and rest first." ”

Zhong Lingyu also stood up, but instead of following Ke's salute and withdrawing, he smiled and said, "Uncle and grandmother, I plan to go back tomorrow, so I will report to my uncle and grandmother and cousin first." ”

Old Madam Sun was surprised and asked, "Why did you go back?" It's only been a few days? Stay longer! Obedient, that's it. "Speaking of the back, it's all in a commanding tone.

Zhong Lingyu smiled bitterly: "My uncle and grandmother also know the situation of my family, and there are many things to be explained, and I really can't leave it." If you can come here for a few days, you will already have time. ”

Old Madam Sun also knew that Zhong Lingyu had a lot to do. It's just that I've come so far and only stayed for two days and then went back, which is somewhat unreasonable.

She ordered, "Anyway, it's not a day or two." If you stay for two more days, nothing will happen. That's it, I don't want you to stay longer, the day after tomorrow, go back the day after tomorrow, how about it? ”

Zhong Lingyu originally planned to go back the day after tomorrow. I used this to say just now, but I was just expressing my dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wugu. And if she wants to resign, Mrs. Sun will inevitably keep her, which is the etiquette of being a guest. Setting aside a day as a buffer was just within her plans.

Therefore, she said briskly: "That Yu'er listens to her uncle and grandmother." ”

Seeing that Zhong Lingyu was well-behaved, Old Madam Sun nodded with satisfaction, waved her hand, and said, "Okay, you all go back and rest, don't listen to our nonsense here." ”

A few people saluted and withdrew.

Walking out of the door, Sun Xuemiao glanced at Zhong Lingyu with a strange gaze, and did not say hello to Ke Shi and Sun Xuehui, and left first with his maid.

Sun Xuehui was taught a lesson by Sun Xuemiao in the Warm Red Pavilion, and he was listless. At this time, Chao Ke and Zhong Lingyu squatted and blessed, and then left.

However, Ke Shi said one more thing to Zhong Lingyu: "Cousin Yu, are the things in the guest house still complete?" If there's anything missing, just send the maid and tell me. She had said this before, but this time she was very sincere.

Zhong Lingyu also felt pity for Ke's. The Sun family was so blatant about accepting a noble concubine, but they didn't take the Ke family seriously at all. I don't know if there is something wrong with the Ke family, or if there is a conflict between the Sun and Ke families.

But these things are not her business.

She smiled: "Nothing is missing, thank you for the eldest cousin." He bowed his head and said, "If the eldest cousin has anything to do, I'll leave first." He turned around and left with Chunli and Xiaogu.

Ke Shi didn't move, he stood in place and watched Zhong Lingyu's back gradually walk away, then he sighed and said, "Let's go." ”

"Grandma, ...... are you" Her dowry maid was a little puzzled. It seems that Ke Shi is a little different from Zhong Lingyu. It's just that the old lady and the lady have made it clear that they will not let Zhong Lingyu be the concubine of the eldest young master, why does their grandmother still care about Zhong Lingyu? Shouldn't her eyes be on that Yu Yue girl?

"I saw my own shadow in this Miss Zhong." Ke Shi walked forward and said softly, "Even if she wants to leave, she should find another opportunity to say goodbye to the old lady and the lady." I said in front of Mrs. Wugu just now that I was dissatisfied with Mrs. Wugu. I think back then, when I first got married, I acted and spoke like her, I did what I wanted, and said what I wanted. It's just all these years......" Her voice gradually lowered, and a gloomy look appeared on her face.

The maid opened her mouth, wanting to comfort her master, but she didn't know where to start.

In the four years since he got married, Ke Shi has not given birth to a son and a half daughter. But even so, if the Ke family hadn't fallen, how could the Sun family dare to bully people like this? At most, it is just to put a dowry maid in the eldest young master's room with her face open, and let the grandmother take it over to raise her as her own child when she has a child.

But the Ke family not only fell, but also affected the Sun family......

The master and servant walked silently among the flowers in the twilight of spring, but their hearts were as bleak as late autumn.
