Qingyuan didn't care about the eldest lady's reaction.

The eldest lord and the third lord are safe and sound on the surface, but in fact they are on the same page, and this water and fire is the eldest lady's wishful thinking, as a person in the third master's house, even if she flatters the eldest wife, the eldest lady will not only not appreciate it, but will also think that the third master owes the eldest lord and is currying favor with them. Why did she give the third master's face to the eldest lady to rub?

Qingyuan and Hu Xing discussed the matter of fresh fruits: "It is the season of recovery of all things, cherries are off the market, and wild water chestnuts should be on the market, right?" Either way, you can find a way to send some. The third master is back, and I have an explanation. ”

"It's nature." Hu Xing was startled, but he was faintly proud in his heart.

He has always been courteous to the Yu family, which shows that this move is the right move.

"You can rest assured." He assured Qingyuan, "Except for a few Lao An people, that is, Miss Yu, no one can do without Miss Yu." ”

Qingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Then it doesn't have to be like this. Miss Yu is a junior, she is too generous, and it is not good to attract the attention of others. ”

Hu Xing smiled: "What else do you have to worry about when I do things!" No one notices, no one makes any irresponsible comments. ”

Qingyuan nodded with satisfaction.

Hu Xing is one of the three governors in the house, if he doesn't have this vision and ability, the position of the chief should be replaced.

She carried half a basket of apples back to Yu Tang, cut a plate of fresh fruit and brought it in.

Yu Tang studied Liu Gongquan, and Miss Xu studied Mrs. Wei. Yu Tang's handwriting is more tax-oriented, while Miss Xu is much softer. But Miss Xu is obviously better than Yu Tang's writing.

Qing Yuan remained silent, moved the pen holder between them, and said with a smile: "Eat the fruit and copy it!" Otherwise, the fruit will be dark. ”

Miss Xu was originally to pass the time, but now that she had other things, she immediately lost her pen, pulled Yutang to eat apples, and said, "Yesterday's cherries were delicious!" Not today? I'll ask Ah Fu to give you a few pieces of broken silver, and send a servant to buy some back. ”

Qingyuan personally served tea to the two of them, and said with a smile: "The cherries here in Lin'an are not big, and they are sour. Yesterday, the cherry was sent from Shandong, it was big and sweet. We didn't expect that both young ladies liked to eat cherries from Shandong. I'll tell you to go down, but I'm afraid I won't be able to come today, so I'll have to wait a day or two. Why don't you send someone to buy some local cherries first? If the two young ladies feel that it is too sour, they can add rock sugar or honey to make fruit sauce and drink it, which is also delicious. ”

Miss Xu couldn't help but glance at Qingyuan and said with a smile: "Your method is also commonly used in our family." When did you enter the house? Have you followed the third master to the capital? ”

The climate in the capital is dry, there is a lot of wind and sand, and the fruits are not suitable for storage, so they are usually eaten as fruit sauce.

Qingyuan said with a smile: "My family is a servant, I entered the house at the age of five, I used to serve in the old Anren's house, and I began to serve the third master when I was eight years old. When the third master went to the capital, I also went with him. ”

In other words, she was the most advanced in the house, and she learned the rules in Lao Anren's house.

He is a true confidant.

Miss Xu bowed her head secretly.

Yu Tang also noticed that Qingyuan was different, but she felt that she was just a passer-by in Pei's mansion, Qingyuan treated her with courtesy, and she also respected Qingyuan, and the rest didn't need to be inquired, and it was not a good thing to know more.

The three of them talked and laughed, and soon it was time for lunch.

Mrs. Yang San, who lived next door, looked at the old lady who was sitting opposite her and drinking tea, and her heart was very tired.

The words have been made very clear, the Yin family is thin, whether it is a son or a daughter, it is impossible to marry a daughter to Pei Fei as a daughter-in-law. The eldest lady of the Pei family really doesn't understand? Or are you pretending to be confused?

Mrs. Yang San didn't want to talk to her anymore, and she didn't want to leave her lunch to satisfy herself.

She took the tea and said with a smile: "I still have to drink medicine here, so I won't keep you." We'll have a good time to talk about it. ”

The eldest lady was very disappointed.

She thought that Mrs. Yang San was closed to guests, and she must be very bored alone, and she should be very welcome to come to the door in Beijing, but she didn't expect Mrs. Yang San to be as annoying as before, and her words were prickly, and the two of them couldn't sit at a table (upper).

But the marriage of the second son, she has to fight for it no matter what, and she can't let the Pei family be the master.

It's just a pity that her mother's family doesn't have a girl of the same age as her second son, otherwise why would she be willing to go far?

The eldest lady is not the faceless person, she can persist until now with a motherly heart, but now she is rejected by Mrs. Yang San so naked, naked, and naked, and she can't hold on anymore.

She got up with a cold face and said goodbye.

Mrs. Yang San personally sent her out.

When I went out, I saw a mother-in-law in my house holding a large blue and white porcelain plate and talking to someone at the door.

Seeing Mrs. Yang San and Mrs. Pei, the two immediately lowered their hands and retreated to the side.

They walked over and it was over, but the eldest lady wanted to show her tolerance and generosity, and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

The mother-in-law in Mrs. Yang's house hurriedly said, "Miss Yu sent a plate of vegetarian stuffed buns over there, and I'm thanking people." ”

The eldest lady saw that the mother-in-law still carried a snack box in her hand, and she didn't take it to heart, and exchanged a few words with Mrs. Yang San, and went back to the quiet room where she lived.

Who knew that as soon as he sat down at the door, he heard the little maid say that Mrs. Yang had been wronged today.

The eldest lady frowned and called Mrs. Yang to come over for questioning.

Mrs. Yang looked like she had turned into gold, and said softly: "It's not a big deal." Didn't you say yesterday that you would reward Angelica with a few vegetarian buns for her to take out and give to her relatives to taste? Today she went to get the buns, who knew that Miss Yu thought it was delicious, and she also took a large plate, so she didn't have her share. I just want to go to the kitchen and have someone make more. I've never encountered anything like this in the kitchen, and I don't know what to do. I thought that I couldn't embarrass others for such a thing, and we would have to eat other people's food in the future, so I explained to them and asked them to keep a copy for us tomorrow, which can be regarded as making up for today's affairs. ”

The eldest lady thought of the scene she had just seen.

She couldn't help sneering and said, "It turned out that I wanted to slap Mrs. Yang's third wife." I don't know what I can do with this kind of stammering. ”

But she couldn't give anyone any benefit to others in Pei Mansion, but she knew better in her heart, and she felt more and more that life was difficult, and she couldn't live for a moment.

Lin'an is the eldest wife's in-law's family, but Mrs. Yang is not familiar with life here, and her son is still staying in the Yang family on an errand, and it will be uncomfortable to stay for one more day, and I wish I could go back to the capital as soon as possible.

She said, "When will the eldest prince go to Hangzhou City?" ”

Lin'an Pei's family is dominant, even if she calls her son over to help Pei Tong and Pei Fei, her son will have to be useful. But Hangzhou is different. The four major surnames in Jiangnan all have clans settled there, and the Pei family can't just say anything, right?

The eldest lady smiled: "No hurry. The uncle came over and specially called Ah Tong over to take Ah Tong's homework. Their family must be satisfied. Even if we are not in a hurry for Ah Tong's career, their family will be in a hurry. ”

Otherwise, how could she choose Gu Xi as her daughter-in-law?

is still the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law!

I think that at the beginning, their Gu family could even look down on someone like Li Duan, let alone her son.

"However, Ah Tong is young after all, and he doesn't care much about human affection." The eldest lady groaned, "You go and prepare some gifts, so that Ah Tong can go to his uncle's side more when he has nothing to do." This in-law uncle of our family is not an ordinary scholar. When the eldest master was alive, he praised him more than once, and said that there was no girl in our family, otherwise we would definitely have to find a way to marry him. ”

Speaking of this, she thought of the scene when her husband was talking to her at that time, and she couldn't help but smile.

Mrs. Yang was extremely embarrassed.

If the eldest lord is still alive, why does the eldest lady have to worry about these hearts?

But the eldest man's illness came too suddenly, and he went as soon as he said it, and he didn't even have time to explain a word......

She lowered her head and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes.

The eldest lady looked at Yu Tang at this time. She asked Mrs. Yang: "What is the origin of that Miss Yu?" If I'm not mistaken, Miss Gu even made a point to talk to her in front of me. ”

Mrs. Yang had already inquired about Yu Tang because of the vegetarian stuffing bag, and knew that she was from a humble background, so she dared to sue this in front of the eldest lady. Hearing this, she hurriedly told the eldest lady everything she knew: "...... Because his father is a showman and has a personal relationship with the shopkeeper of Tongda, the third master has met a few times, so she came to the house to accompany Lao Anren...... I was able to play with a few young ladies, and I also got a kind of incense recipe and made Buddha incense for Ku'an Temple...... In this lecture, their family also came back to the limelight......"

In the eyes of the eldest lady, Yu Tang is an autumn wind.

She said disdainfully, "Leave her alone. I've seen a lot of this kind of person, and I play some little tricks, so I think I can play with everyone else, and I don't even know how I died. The top priority is to find a way to make Ah Tong win Gu Chaoyang's favor, and other things will be talked about later. ”

It is also a long night to live in Pei Mansion, and there are many times when there is nothing to do, when it is okay, it is not too late to clean up those who are not long-sighted.

Mrs. Yang lowered her eyes and responded "yes", and the eldest lady began to discuss with her what gift to give Gu Chaoyang.

At noon, Gu Xi and Miss Wu had lunch together and made a detour to pass in front of Yutang Gate.

The red Ruyi door is closed, the pink wisteria hangs down from the wall, the wind blows gently, making a rustling sound, and the silence reveals a bit of sweetness, as beautiful as a painting.

Gu Xi stood for a while, and then went to Miss Xu.

Who knew that Miss Xu was not at home, but at Yu Tang's.

She didn't want to stay long, and she didn't want to see Yu Tang, so she simply went back to her house.

In the afternoon, when she arrived at the Dharma Hall, the second wife was talking to Pei Lao'an.

She smiled and said hello.

Pei Lao'an was in a good mood, smiled and asked the little maid to grab a handful of melon seeds and give them to her, and continued to listen to the second wife: "I also tried it, and the craftsmanship is really good." Miss Yu said that when she went to greet you in the evening, she wanted to bring Mrs. Shi over. I think it's good. ”

"Then bring it here." Pei Lao'an smiled and said to a few Lao An around him, "If it's really good, it's not bad to recruit her to the house from time to time." ”

Several Lao An people also smiled and nodded.
