"My mother can't forget it, so my mother has to be good to Yujun." Xu's meaning is profound, and Yu Yan bows her head and reminishes.

While talking, the maid Xiaotao and the maidservant Chunhua from the second master's mansion next door came into the house.

"Madam, someone from the Second Master's Mansion has come up."

When Xu heard this, he called in, and the spring flowers were brought in by Xiao Tao.

Xu was slightly stunned, Chunhua was the maid of Aunt Han next to the second master, in the past, she came from the side of his wife Ye, but now it is the people around the side room, Xu is slightly puzzled.

Xiao Tao said: "Madam, the second master in the house next door sent Chunhua to speak, saying that he and Aunt Han came to the ceremony on the day after tomorrow, and made temporary adjustments, for fear of working Mrs., so Tete gave the gift first." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chunhua smiled and said, "Madam, our Aunt Han knows that Madame and Miss like to eat Jiangnan flavors, so she sent a lot of preserved fruits from the south." ”

Among the master and miss of Bitao Courtyard, the most respectful and inferior in addition to Xu's is Yu Yan, Yu Yan was stunned when she heard this: "Why is my aunt here, not the second uncle's wife." In the past, when he came to perform the sacrifice, I could still accompany the eldest lady and the eldest lady of your house, but this time, I will not accompany a side room to talk. ”

Yu Yan said and looked up at Xu.

Xu dislikes her for speaking without scruples, and she really offends people when she says such straightforward words in front of outsiders, especially in front of Aunt Han's henchmen.

The Xu family was too lazy to pay attention to Chunhua, but was disturbed by Yu Yan, and couldn't help but say: "Aunt Han is also outside, although the master and the second master have separated from each other, but in the end, it is their own family, and there are many gifts." ”

Chunhua smiled when she heard this: "Having said that, there is still a basic number of etiquette." Besides, in the past, Mrs. accompanied our master, but this year, my aunt accompanied my lord, and I am afraid that the specific ritual matters will have to ask you to help manage it, and our aunt is embarrassed to trouble Mrs. so she sent a gift, which is a small crime. ”

It is said that the entry is a guest, and after Chunhua was embarrassed by Yu Yan, she still has such a good face, and her words are also round and good, Xu Shi is comfortable when she listens to it, and thinks that it is no wonder that Aunt Han can be favored by the second master, and even the mouth of the maid next to her is sweet honey.

"I accepted the gift, you go back and restore your life. However, I have to ask a question, why can't your lady come here? ”

Chunhua said: "Who knows! Maybe I'm angry with the master. ”

Chunhua said goodbye.

Xu looked meaningfully at the back of Chunhua's departure.

Yu Yan saw that Chunhua was gone, so she pushed the dishes and chopsticks impatiently, and said hatefully: "It's really annoying, she ran in to disturb me while eating lunch." ”

At the dinner table, Yuwan and Yucong all adhered to the rule of eating without saying a word, but they just bowed their heads and ate silently, only Yuyan chattered endlessly.

"Chunhua is a slave by the side of an aunt, she can't wait outside, she has to come in while the masters are eating!" Yu Yan saw that Yu Wan Yu Cong did not agree with herself, so she couldn't help but have a bigger temper.

Xu patiently explained: "What are you talking about? The second master and your father are brothers, although Chunhua is a slave, but she comes to the door, not only on behalf of the second master, but also on behalf of the identity of the guest, how can there be a reason in this world to let the guests wait outside, but you eat well! Besides, Chunhua is the slave of the second old man and aunt, not your minion, beat the dog to see the master, you don't like Chunhua, you have to see who the master behind her is! You really don't understand the world at all! Besides, Aunt Han is sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, if you offend her at all, she can slander you as worthless, I look at Aunt Han's face, and I have to be kind to Chunhua. ”

"You! is carried to the height of the sky by the identity of the head of the Wen Mansion. As he spoke, Xu wiped his chopsticks, sandwiched two pieces of vinegared pork ribs for Yuwan Yucong, and said to Yuwan Yucong: "Look at how quiet your younger brothers and sisters are, they don't talk when they eat, where are they like you, and they are full of vigor." ”

Yu Yan was unmoved.

Xu Shi put a piece of tender fish fillet into his mouth, chewed for a while, then put down the chopsticks, and shook his head: "The taste of this fish skin is lighter, and the fried tender fish fillet with red pepper in the previous child tastes good, but today's one is too light, and the fish fillet is not slippery. I don't know if Mrs. Ben has to be spicy when eating fish fillets? ”

Bao Xin said: "Mrs. is angry, yesterday I heard Mrs. Liu from the kitchen come to ask Xi'er about Mrs. Li's preferences, I heard that Mrs. Liu stuffed her nephew into the small kitchen to do work, it is estimated that Mrs. Liu wants to inquire about Mrs. Lies, begging to find a good way out for her nephew, that Xi'er lied to Mrs. Liu that Mrs. likes to eat light, so today the kitchen did a light one." ”

Xu Shi thought it was funny: "Why doesn't Mrs. Liu in the small kitchen know my preferences?" I also want to ask Xi'er, after all, she has been working in the kitchen for several years. ”

Bao Xin said: "Mrs. Liu is just guarding the door in the small kitchen, no one pays attention to her, she wants to ask the people in the kitchen, it is estimated that they don't look down on Mrs. Liu's way of telling right and wrong all day long, and Mrs. Liu doesn't bother to ask them, so she specially asks Xi'er." ”

Xu snorted: "Xi'er is like this, it's one thing for her to dislike Mrs. Liu, and she deliberately told Mrs. Liu these words, which swept away my interest in having lunch in vain." In this way, Xi'er will go to the backyard and be responsible for sprinkling. ”

Bao Xin hesitated a little, "Xi'er is not at fault, the lies she told Mrs. Liu that she likes to eat lightly are also overheard by the slave maid." She was not at fault, and she was suddenly dropped, and I am afraid that the minions next to her would not be convinced. ”

When Yu Yan heard this, she said: "This is not simple, I see that there are few people around Sister Yujun, the Pear Flower Pavilion is as big as a yard, and there are not enough people to sprinkle and sweep every day, so it is better to give Xi'er to Sister Yujun." ”

Xu Shi thought about it, and then smiled: "If you don't send a single order, you have to send a double number." How is it enough to send a Xi'er. As he spoke, he looked out and said in a deep voice, "It's really time to send some minions to Yujun's courtyard." ”

After a few moments, the meal was finished.

Yuwan and Yucong were all left to meet in their respective courtyards.

Yu Yan also stayed: "Mother, in the past, the ceremonies at the second uncle's place were all from Mrs. Yan and the second uncle, I think she is also a wife, and I, the eldest daughter, are willing to take care of her, and the day after tomorrow my aunt comes, and I don't need to set foot in the side house of the ancestral hall." ”

Xu said: "Indeed, you and I are both concubines, so there is no need to deal with the side room." Yucong, Yuwan is also a descendant, and he is still young. You siblings don't have to go. It's just that Aunt Han is deeply favored by the second master, he came to sacrifice his biological mother, brought his aunt and concubine, but I am the only one in our house to entertain her, is it not thoughtful. ”

Xu sighed, the big family has the troubles of the big family, although Wen Du said that he separated from his brother, but the ancestral hall of the Wen family is in the Wen Mansion mansion, this mansion is inherited by Wen Dui, the tablet of the descendant is placed in the main house of the ancestral hall, and the side room is placed in the side room.

The second old man Wen Xu is also Wen Duan's cousin, after sharing the family business, he bought a yard next to the old mansion of Wenfu and placed his biological mother, and later her biological mother died, and the tablet was placed in the side house of the ancestral hall of the Wenfu mansion.

Every year to worship his biological mother, he goes to Wen Dusk's mansion to worship, and he has to accompany him.

Of course, this is also the family rule of the Wen family, no matter how far the concubine goes, he has to return to the palace to perform the sacrifice.
