As soon as Master Shu saw that it was the second aunt who came in at the door, his face sank, but he still had the anger of Gongpuhe a few days ago, and he was busy these days, and he didn't bother to clean her up, but she sent it to the door by herself.

The second aunt's eyes shrank for a moment, and then she thought of today's purpose, so she raised her head again, showed a coquettish face, and said with a smile: "Master, didn't the concubine hear that the lord has been in a hurry for the queen mother's birthday gift in recent days, so I just wanted to bring some soup to the lord to go to the fire, and by the way, the concubine has a way here, maybe it can solve the lord's urgent need."

As she said this, her eyes were tightly focused on the look on Master Shu's face, she was about to say more flattering words, but seeing that Master Shu's face was getting more and more gloomy, she had no choice but to hold back the flattering words that had been prepared earlier, and instead directly said her intentions.

Fortunately, no matter how gloomy Master Shu's face was, when he heard what she said to solve his urgent needs, his expression changed a little.

Master Shu looked at the second aunt, his eyes were a little unbelieving, but now he has nothing to do about the birthday gift, and the little prince is anxious to hand in the birthday gift, although he suspects that the second aunt may have made some ideas again, but he has to listen to it, maybe it will be useful.

"Tell me about it." He frowned, but his expression softened a lot.

The second aunt was happy in her heart, and there was some joy in her eyes, she didn't dare to delay, put the things in her hand on the table, and then immediately said: "Master, the concubine came back from her mother's house yesterday, and I heard that the people of her mother's family had no intention of mentioning it, and the queen mother in the palace seemed to be very fond of calligraphy and painting, so the concubine went to the calligraphy and painting workshop on the street to buy a high-quality calligraphy and painting back."

She stopped when she said this, and her eyes rose and secretly glanced at Master Shu's expression.

Master Shu's brows were still furrowed, but his face returned to normal at this time, and when he saw that the second aunt's words had stopped, he asked, "Your mother's family?" Is there anyone in your mother's family who can stick their ears into the palace? ”

The second aunt's family background is not as good as that of the Shu family, the door is very small, and the old lady Shu accepted her as a concubine at the beginning, only because the old lady of the Shu family was the master.

Therefore, he didn't believe that the people in the second aunt's mother's family still had the ability to find out the queen mother's preferences.

The second aunt's face was slightly red, revealing a hint of embarrassment, "Master, the concubine's mother's family also learned that the master has been worried about this matter for the past few days, so she will ask someone to get the news many times, if the master doesn't believe it, then, the concubine will go back first." ”

"Wait." Old Man Shu's eyes were fixed in one place, staring at the face of the second aunt, and only after half a sound did he say again: "If the little prince chooses this calligraphy and painting this time, the position of the housewife of the Shu family will be yours in the future."

Although Master Shu had some doubts about the source of this news, if this was to happen, he would be considered to have completed the task assigned by the little prince, and he was also relieved.

Laughing no matter whether this thing is successful or not, he is still quite satisfied with the second aunt's move to do this.

The second aunt heard what Master Shu said, and suddenly raised her head, she waited for the position of the master mother for more than ten years, for this position, she swallowed her anger a lot, and now that the position of the master mother is within reach, she feels a little unreal.

Master Shu glanced at her, and didn't think the shock on her face was anything strange, after all, she was the one who shared the bed, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

"I'm still stunned, why don't I get the calligraphy and painting quickly." Master Shu saw that the second aunt couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he was anxious to see the calligraphy and painting, so he had to urge.

"Yes, sir." The second aunt was about to cry with joy, but fortunately, she could still suppress her soft voice, and then quickly walked out of the room, took the calligraphy and painting from the hand of the maid waiting outside the room, and then turned around and entered the house.

"Master, this is the calligraphy and painting."

She slowly spread out the calligraphy and painting and handed it to Master Shu.

Master Shu took the painting, looked at it attentively, and then showed a very satisfied smile on his face, and praised the second aunt.

"This thing is done well, this calligraphy and painting looks like no matter the year or the painter's skills, it is the top grade in the ancient paintings, I want to come to the little prince to see Xu Hui will be satisfied with this birthday gift, you go back first, and when there is news, I am sending someone to inform you."

"Yes, sir." The second aunt answered softly, then glanced at Master Shu before turning around and walking out of the room.

Outside Ann Wo Hospital.

Shu Churou was worried about this, and went to the second aunt early in the morning, but she didn't see anyone, so after thinking about it, she ran to the door of Anheyuan.

Her heart was so anxious that she finally saw her second aunt come out, and hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Mother, what did Daddy say?"

The second aunt smiled first, and then took Shu Churou's arm, walked forward and said, "It's done."

Master Shu studied calligraphy and painting alone in the room for a while, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the pair in front of him was just right, but after thinking about it, he was faintly a little uneasy.

He is a businessman, and he only knows one thing about this kind of calligraphy and painting, but the Shu family knows a lot about calligraphy and painting, and this Shu Qing porcelain is the person he can think of.

"Someone, hurry up and invite the eldest lady over."

"Yes, sir."

Shu Qingci quickly rushed over, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw the calligraphy and painting in Master Shu's hand, as well as the smile on Master Shu's face.

Her eyes deepened, and then she curtsied and said, "Daddy, you are in such a hurry to find Qing Porcelain, but is there something wrong?"

Her words were not hurried, and her demeanor was very dignified.

Master Shu didn't look up at her, but only beckoned: "Come over and help my father see this calligraphy and painting."

Shu Qingci glanced at the calligraphy and painting again, and then walked over, she looked at the calligraphy and painting for a long time, and did not ask where the calligraphy and painting came from, but only evaluated the painting according to her own painting skills.

After listening to Shu Qingpor's praise, Master Shu was quite satisfied, he rolled up the calligraphy and painting and put it in the painting jar, and then looked up at Shu Qingci.

"Do you think this painting is appropriate as a birthday gift for the Queen Mother?" Master Shu looked at Shu Qingci, and then seemed to think of something, and added: "By the way, this calligraphy and painting was sent by your second aunt, she also recently knew to repent, seeing that I was anxious for the queen mother's birthday day and night for my father, I specially asked someone to inquire about the queen mother's preferences to get this calligraphy and painting, because my father knew that the second aunt and your sister did not do it right, but this family is a family after all, and the second aunt has been promised for the father, if she has merit in this matter, she will be the head mother of our Shu family in the future, This is the father's thoughts, it is appropriate to inform you first. ”

Before, he took into account the daughter in front of him, so he never raised the position of the second aunt, and after all these years, he knew what she had done for the position of this housemother, so for the sake of family harmony, he felt that if he could, the position of the housemother could also be raised.

Shu Qingci's face was still the same, but the hand hidden in the wide sleeves was clenched together, she didn't hesitate, and replied directly: "Daddy, although the second aunt and the first sister were at fault a few days ago, but this matter has passed, and my daughter doesn't want to mention it again, I just hope that our Shu family can always be in harmony, since my father has promised the position of the second aunt as the main mother, the daughter has no objections except for congratulating the second aunt."

Master Shu was worried that Shu Qingci would object when he heard this, but seeing her attitude at this time, his heart was relieved.

He smiled lovingly and boasted: "You are still sensible, then this matter will be decided like this first, you can go back and rest first."

"Hmm." Shu Qingci smiled, then turned around and walked towards the door, but her eyes, which were originally smiling, instantly cooled down the moment she turned around.

She kept her face calm, and went all the way back to Qinglan Pavilion from Anhe Courtyard, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she went directly into her room without paying any attention.

"Dong'er, where did Miss go just now?"

Ye Hanyue was standing in the corridor, originally thinking of coming over to say goodbye, but when she saw that Shu Qingci's face was wrong, she didn't stand there.

Seeing Shu Qingci enter the room, she dragged Dong'er, who walked in front of her, and asked.

Dong'er was still holding a bunch of things in her hands, and as soon as she suddenly asked, Dong'er turned around and glanced at Shu Qingci's room, and then said, "Miss seems to have been called by the master just now."

"Sir?"

What did the lord ask her for?

Seeing Shu Qingci's face seems to be a little ugly, is there something wrong with Master Shu?

"Sister Xiaoyue, you are busy first, I have to move these to the kitchen."

"Okay, I'll help you later."

Ye Hanyue smiled at Dong'er, and then watched her walk away with her things in her arms, only then did she raise her head and look at Shu Qingci's door intently.

What was it that made her face look so gloomy?

Could it be the second aunt's business? Or is Master Shu forced to get married?

She stared at the closed door and thought for a while, but she didn't think of the reason why Shu Qingci was angry, and in the end she really couldn't help it, so she thought it was better to go to the kitchen to help Dong'er first.

Ye Hanyue was just about to leave, but there was a sound of opening the door behind her.

As soon as she stopped, she turned around.

At the door of the room stood Shu Qingci, who was looking at her.

"Xiaoyue, you come here." Shu Qingci stood at the door and shouted directly.

A trace of doubt flashed in Ye Hanyue's eyes, but she didn't ask much, and just walked over.

"Miss."

"Xiaoyue, my father just called me to go and showed me a calligraphy and painting." Shu Qingci pulled Ye Hanyue and led her into the room, and then she sat on the stool, "That calligraphy and painting was sent to Daddy's room by the second aunt, according to Daddy's meaning, if this calligraphy and painting is selected by the little prince, then the second aunt will be carried to the position of the Shu family's housewife, Xiaoyue, if the second aunt regains this power, I am afraid that you and I will be sad again." ”

Shu Qingci was sad, and a pair of willow eyebrows were also in one place.

She had been thinking about it for a long time in the room, thinking that she could come up with a way to stop it, but after thinking about it, there was no good way.

Therefore, she thought of Ye Hanyue, who has always been smart and has a lot of strange ideas.
