Xu turned his head at this moment and smiled at the housekeeper who gave the New Year's gift: "I forgot that you are here, I discussed some bad things in the house with my subordinates, and I neglected you." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly raised his head and smiled: "When it comes to the New Year's Festival, everything in the house is busy." Madame, this is a great opportunity, where can a slave afford a word of neglect from Madame. ”

Xu Shi nodded his head, smiled more brightly, and talked to the housekeeper of Chu Mansion for a while, and asked Mrs. Chu's peace, and said that there would be a banquet for noble ladies in the beginning of spring, and that the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in February next spring would take a flower boat with Mrs. Chu, and let the eldest daughter Yuyan and the eldest lady of the Chu family ask for poetry.

These words were even flattering and friendly, and the Chu family and several children were praised to the sky, and the housekeeper was even more fluttering, feeling that the Xu family was gentle and friendly.

After sending the housekeeper away, Xu turned around to look at Ah Lian, she raised her chin slightly at Ah Shu's movements, looking lazy, Ah Shu immediately stepped forward, pinching Xu's legs, and replied: "Miss Yujun has combed a very simple hairstyle today, and the slave maid has never seen Miss Yujun's hair so simple since she entered the Pear Flower Pavilion, and it is estimated that she is starting to lose her hair." ”

Xu nodded: "Yujun, what did you eat for breakfast." ”

"Same as yesterday morning."

"Alright, you can go down."

Seeing that Xu sent himself, Ah Shu immediately retreated, and Liusang hurriedly took the dietary recipe of the ingredients sent in by the grandmothers yesterday and the meal records that Yujun had used these days, compared them with the meal records, and then smiled at Xu: "Miss Yujun's corn, eggs, and lean porridge this morning are compatible with rabbit meat and potatoes, why don't you let the small kitchen send some air-smoked rabbit jerky and green mud potato cake later?" ”

Xu was about to speak, when he heard the maid outside the curtain inform Han Lian that Han Lian was coming, Han Lian was a celebrity in front of the old lady, and she generally did not move around in person, and if she had anything to instruct, she would directly order the second-class maids to do it.

"Madam, I'll pass a message for our old lady, saying yes, the old lady thinks she's alone, so she specially invited the blind girl in the house who can tell stories to talk about the drama first, and the old lady thinks it's boring to listen to alone, so I specially invited you, Miss Yujun, and Miss Yuhu, Yuzhuo, and Miss Yudie to listen together."

Xu felt strange, there have been a few female ancestors in this Wen Mansion, that was in the past, Wen Du wanted to please Xiao Shi, so please go back to the house, and when she was bored, she asked the female ancestors to tell a few dramas and play for Xiao Shi's boredom.

Later, Xiao died, and he didn't have time to take care of these female ancestors.

Hearing that the old lady singled out the concubine in the past, but did not ask the concubine to accompany her, Xu felt strange in his heart, but it was not good to show his face, and he couldn't refuse the old lady's kind invitation, Xu Shi hurriedly said: "I'll change my clothes and go immediately." ”

In the Yongxiu Monastery, two blind female ancestors, each wearing a peach-colored bikin, holding a singing pipa in their hands, sat in front of a large eight-page screen of Tateyama stone painted with gold silk peacocks in lacquer and gold for the partition door.

Behind this screen is the old lady Wen who is sitting on the soft couch, and the jade butterfly who is kneeling down and shrinking into a ball of crying and pity.

"Old lady, I don't have anything to say, those are all chewed words, and it's not interesting to say them over and over again."

"Woohoo."

Yudie choked up, and a familiar sentence was crying intermittently, which was more poignant and touching than the pipa music played by the female ancestor's fingertips.

"I heard that Yujun is just doing a good deed, and sent ten catties of refined charcoal to Yuhu with a limited share, and Mrs. Yan can't tolerate it, so she guards Yujun on the left to get a good reputation as a friendly sister, and sends a maid on the right to insult Yuhu. I don't have a good relationship with Yuhu, but I can't do schadenfreude, yesterday Yuhu just resisted slightly, and in the middle of the night, Mrs. Yan invited Dr. Wang who treated Aunt Ruan away, I heard that Aunt Ruan coughed all night, and no doctor saw a doctor. ”

Yujun was accompanied by colorful beads and embroidery to the back of the screen with gold and gold, and was about to go around to the front to greet Mrs. Wen, when she heard the voice of Yudie crying like a night owl on the street, Yujun's heart moved, and she shrank her feet and did not dare to go forward.

It is said that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, she stepped forward at this moment and disturbed Yudie's crying, and it was inevitable that Yudie would be suspicious, so she had to wait quietly behind the screen, listening to her cry and tremble.

"Where is the reason why a doctor comes to the house and treats the maid in the middle of the night, and does not treat the aunt. Could it be that the aunt who gave birth to the concubine is not as good as the maid who serves the lady? ”

Yudie choked up and reasoned again, and Mrs. Wen closed her eyes when she listened, and a bowl of tea in her hand swayed left and right.

Yujun stood behind the screen, but felt stunned, Yudie's crying this time seemed to be a grievance for Yuhu, which was really gratifying, not as jealous as in the past.

"Old lady, Yudie is so scared. It is said that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the maid in the Pear Blossom Pavilion last time spread bad words about Yujun, and this time it was Yuhu's turn to be bullied by the Xu family, so next time, is it Yudie. Yudie is so scared, on weekdays, our Aunt Liu doesn't fight or grab, and she has to be looked down upon by the Xu family, yesterday my father stayed in our Yingyue Pavilion, then, wouldn't the Xu family want to eat and skin our Aunt Liu alive. ”

Yudie couldn't help crying, trembling all over, convulsions like convulsions, and the old lady opened her eyes and closed them again.

"I see, not only me, but also Yuhu, and Yujun, we, our concubines are not seen by the Xu family, woo, old lady, daddy, he is in the court all day long, in this mansion, except for the Xu family, it is you who speak the most. Yudie is afraid of being bullied by the Xu family, so she can only complain to you. Yudie cried miserably, and added a sentence at the end: "Yuhu and I are both cheap, it's nothing, but Yujun is different, Yujun is the most favored lady in the house, if Yujun is bullied by Xu, then Daddy will definitely be angry, and then he will be angry with the old lady You don't restrain Xu, if Yujun is bullied and provokes Xu, daddy and old lady are not in harmony, it is also a bad thing." ”

Yujun almost sneered, never expecting that she would become a shield for Yudie to complain behind her back.

Caixiu's face was longer than the donkey's face, but she heard Yudie bow her head and cry again: "Yujun's pomp, residence, and small kitchen can't be compared with her grandson, if I were Xu's, I wouldn't be happy, my granddaughter felt that the Xu family would attack Yujun sooner or later, why didn't the old lady take the opportunity of Yuhu and Mrs. to have trouble with Mrs. in the past two days, and beat Mrs. to let Mrs. treat the concubine well, especially to Yujun." ”
