Han Lian heard what the old lady meant, and naturally understood that it was a matter that the second old man's mansion could not come, and Han Lian smiled: "As the saying goes, each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, and doesn't care about the frost on the tiles of others. Why should the old lady think about the uneasy things in the second old man's mansion! ”

"Break bones and tendons! Although Wen Xu and Wen Du are separated, in the end, it is the blood of the Wen family, if Wen Xu is not good, you say, is the opponent of the Wen family in the court more happy, or Wen Du is more happy! The outside must be safe, the house is restless, and the external affairs can be done well! The old lady took a sip of Yunfeng's tooth shoots, and said lightly: "Regarding the reason why the Ye family can't come to the ceremony, do we have any news to send in the eyeliner of Shang'an in Wenxu Mansion?"

Han Lian hurriedly said, "Not yet." But the old lady doesn't need to worry, with how many means she Ye has, it is also a clown, how can she jump out of the palm of the old lady's hand. ”

As she was talking, the second-class maid Mi'er whispered outside the curtain: "Old lady, the slave has something to say. ”

"Come in."

Mi'er walked up to Mrs. Wen with a scroll, handed the scroll to the small table, leaned over and whispered: "Back to the old lady's words, Bai Tan came in with a message, saying that the Ye family had drunk the soup boiled by Aunt Gan for half a month, and her hair fell out a lot, and now she can't even wear a wig bun on her head. Because of this, she was unable to attend her aunt's sacrifice in person this year. ”

When the old lady heard this, she was surprised and said, "What kind of soup did you drink?" ”

Mi'er said: "According to the news from Bai Tan, it seems that Aunt Gan cooks Bi Needle Flower Soup for Ye's every day, and Ye takes Angelica Pill every day in order to ask for a child, and the Angelica and Bi Needle Flower are mutually restrained by the five elements, and eating them together will cause skin sores and hair loss." After the Ye family found out the truth, he quarreled with Aunt Gan every day, and broke an arm of Aunt Gan. ”

When the old lady heard this, she nodded calmly and said to Han Lian: "What am I talking about, the internal affairs of their house are full of thoughts, and the back house is unstable!" ”

Han Lian looked up without saying a word.

Mi'er said and said, "Madam, there is something that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"What should I not say, you are a slave who has served me for more than ten years, can't we be honest with each other between our master and servant?"

Mi'er bowed her head and said, "I'm afraid that the slave maid said this is not quite in line with her identity, but since the slave and maid have seen it, how dare you not say it." ”

Mrs. Wen and Han Lian saw her solemn voice, thinking that it was a big deal, and when they heard the words, they looked at her calmly, and only listened to Mi'er: "Last time, the slave and the maid passed through the front hall together, and saw the petal red of the peach courtyard and the flowers in our yard were sneaky, and the slave and the maid were not at ease, so they hid and eavesdropped. ”

Old Madam Wen nodded her head when she heard this, was silent for a moment, and said categorically: "It's hard for you to have a heart, go down, you don't have to worry about this matter." Hanlian, appreciate a pair of silver hairpins. ”

Mi'er looked up at Mrs. Wen, flattered, Mrs. Wen smiled: "You have been helping me feed the pigeons all these years and pass on the news of the second master's mansion to me, and you have also worked hard, it is better for me to promote you to the inner courtyard to serve and be a first-class maid." ”

Without waiting for Mi'er to speak, Mrs. Wen followed up and ordered: "Leave the matter of feeding the pigeons to Shuang'er in the future." Your monthly money has risen to one or two pieces of silver, and tomorrow will come to the inner courtyard to serve me. ”

Mi'er sighed busily and agreed with a smile.

When she said goodbye, Han Lian said crisply: "Hua Zhen was originally ordered by the old lady to send some news to Bitaoyuan, why didn't she tell Mi'er directly, but promoted Mi'er?" Moreover, there is no shortage of manpower in the inner courtyard now, so why do you need Mi'er to come to the inner courtyard to do work. ”

Mrs. Wen said: "I'm just looking at Mi'er's loyalty, you also heard her say, Jin Zhu and her saw the flower fold and petal red talking, but Jin Zhu didn't want to listen to the strangeness, Mi'er can think about me, do my best, I will promote her no harm." ”

Old Madam Wen said and said: "Over the years, the Xu family has liked to ask me about my ideas no matter what, and it seems that they respect me, but in fact they just want to gain a good reputation for filial piety. I see, she has a lot of grievances with the Ye family in the house next door, she may come to inquire about the reason why the Ye family does not participate in the ceremony, if she sends petal red to ask, it doesn't hurt if you let Hua Zhe tell her. ”

Mrs. Wen said: "I have to let her know that the news that she Xu can't inquire about, Mrs. Ben has it here." She thought that sending someone to bring something delicious and delicious every day was considered filial piety? Since she is fake filial piety, then what else do I want to do with this fake, I want her Xu to be really afraid of me and obey me! ”

Han Lian smiled and lowered her eyebrows: "The old lady should have done this a long time ago, in the past, you were too generous to the Xu family, so that she dared to secretly calculate the old lady." ”

In the courtyard of Bitao, the sunset, the sunset in winter is quite good-looking, the clusters of cold are floating in the yard, the green calyx plum in the Huanmeng Pavilion is fragrant with the cold wind, the green plum is like a cloud from a distance, it is cold and faint, Yu Yan is standing under the green calyx plum and raises her hand to pick snow water, the maid around her stands, outside the door, Yu Wan is holding a string of golden jade bells, full of smiles, running across the green threshold, laughter is flying: "Sister Yu Yan, help me, Yu Cong is going to catch me." ”

Yu Wan's apricot eyes were crooked, like orange petals, the corners of her mouth were dotted with pears, and she ran into Huanmeng Pavilion, she was much taller than Yu Cong, and when Yu Cong's little short legs struggled to cross the threshold, Yu Wan had already hid behind Yu Yan with a smile.

Yuwan hugged Yu Yan with her tender hands, poked her head out from behind Yu Yan's slender waist, and smiled at the little short-legged Yu Cong: "You come, you come to arrest me." ”

There is still snow water on the green calyx plum petals that has not melted, Yu Yan is holding a porcelain bowl containing the snow water, and Yu Wan pulled her waist around, and half of the porcelain bowl in her hand was splashed on the ground. Yu Cong was only five years old, and he was very playful, and when he saw Yu Wan hiding behind Yu Yan, he pounced on her to play with her.

Yu Wan saw Yu Cong's slow and anxious appearance, couldn't help laughing, laughter like a silver bell, Yu Yan was entangled by Yu Wan, the snow water that was finally collected was splashed, and she was annoyed in her heart, but because of the teachings of her brother and brother Gong, she endured not to get angry, but turned around and folded the plum blossom branch with her hand, and re-filled the snow water on the flower.

"Sister Yuwan plays with me." Yu Cong pounced.

Yu Wannen shook a string of jade gold bells that teased the child in her hand, she hid behind Yu Yan, and while stretching out her hand to tease Yu Cong to play, she saw Yu Cong chasing after her, and hid the bell again, laughing and walking around Yu Yan.

Yu Cong eagerly wanted the string of golden jade bells, pounced on it, and accidentally slipped his feet by the residual snow on the ground, and his whole body fell to Yu Yan, and his little head hit Yu Yan's elbow at once, Yu Yan subconsciously pushed, pushing Yu Cong to the ground, and crying.

Seeing that Young Master Yucong had fallen, the maid hurriedly exclaimed, "Young Master, be careful." ”
