Yuanfu Dongyuan, coming out of the Nuanxiang Pavilion, the old lady hung her face and asked the second young grandmother to follow to the Dongyuan. At this moment, the second young grandmother sat on the soft chair, looking at the old lady's face, and her heart was uneasy.

"Do you know why I called you?" The old lady picked up the teacup and plucked the hot tea with the lid of the cup.

"This.... The daughter-in-law doesn't know..."The second young grandmother laughed.

The old lady put down the teacup, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a calm tone, "You are a smart child, I think you know in your heart who should have done this today." ”

The second young grandmother's heart tightened, and she pretended to be indifferent: "Naturally, it's Mama Zhao...."

Before she finished speaking, the old lady slapped the table suddenly, and the second young grandmother shook her body and didn't dare to make a sound.

"I thought you had a good personality, but you did such a thing that damaged the reputation of the Yuan family!" The old lady hates that iron is not a steel road.

The second young grandmother got up and knelt in front of the old lady, "Mother-in-law, I didn't do this, then Mama Zhao also said at the time, it was the sister-in-law who treated the next person harshly..."

The old lady stared at her and said coldly, "You still refuse to admit it? Who do you really think you can hide from that little trick you have? ”

The second young grandmother lowered her head, knowing that she couldn't hide this matter in front of the old lady, so it was better to simply make a move, with tears in her eyes, "Mother-in-law, I am confused about this matter, but I never dare to do anything that damages the reputation of the Yuan family." ”

The old lady snorted, "Don't you dare? If it weren't for Qingyue's girl today, I wouldn't know how to end it! ”

The second young grandmother wiped her tears, "Guan Qingyue is the sister-in-law's companion, but she can make fragrances, mother-in-law, don't you think this is strange?" If she knows how to make fragrances, why didn't she say it early in the morning, she had to wait until her sister-in-law was pregnant to let us know that her daughter-in-law was only afraid that she would be used by someone with a heart to destroy the Yuan family's business. ”

The old lady was silent for a while, and said, "I have hidden this matter for you, if your father knew about it, it would not be as simple as it is now." ”

The second young grandmother kowtowed to the old lady, "Daughter-in-law, thank you mother-in-law." ”

The old lady came to the second young grandmother to help her up, held her hand and said: "I know that you are a good daughter-in-law, the Ning family is arrogant and domineering, and it has indeed given you a lot of grievances, so I don't blame you for this matter, but you have to remember that the Ning family is the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family after all, where is the Yuan family if you do this?" ”

"I was also anxious for a while, and now that I think about it, I really regret it." The second young grandmother said, her eyes red again.

The old lady sighed, "I don't want to care about the careful thinking between your concubines, but today's matter, only this once, take good care of Duan'er and Anbei in the future, help Anbei take care of business affairs, if there is a next time, I can't protect you." ”

The second young grandmother said: "I keep my mother-in-law's kindness in my heart, and there will definitely be no more such things in the future, so my mother-in-law can rest assured." ”

"Hmm." The old lady patted the second young grandmother's shoulder, "Go back, don't let Duan'er wait." ”

After the second young grandmother left, Mama Yang cut the fruit and brought it up, and said to the old lady Yuan who was sitting on the soft floor: "Old lady, why did the second young grandmother do such a thing, why did you forgive it so easily?" ”

The old lady looked at the agate wrench on her finger, "Punish her like this, you might as well hold her handle in your hand, let her remember my kindness, and she won't dare to be disobedient in the future." ”

Mama Yang understood, "The old lady is really strategic. ”

Miss Zhang used the foundation given to her by Guan Qingyue, and when she played with the young ladies in Yecheng on weekdays, the young lady who was good with her asked where she bought her pearl powder. After a long time, the Yuan family's rouge gouache spread throughout Yecheng. The spice shop of the Yuan family has an amazing flow of customers these days.

The shopkeeper sent someone to ask Ning Xianglan if she could ask Guan Qingyue to make some more rouge gouache. Ning Xianglan called Guan Qingyue and said, "Now your incense powder is very hot in the city, the ladies and ladies have come to the spice shop to ask, and the shopkeeper will let you make more incense powder and take it to the store to buy it." ”

Guan Qingyue had surprise in her eyes, "Really? ”

Ning Xianglan handed Guan Qingyue the list of incense powder sent to her by the shopkeeper, Guan Qingyue looked at it, there are a lot of cosmetics required to be made, and it is estimated that it will take some time.

"How?" Ning Xianglan curled the corners of her mouth, "If you can help me complete the business, I will give you half of the salary from this month onwards, how about it?" ”

Guan Qingyue's pupils rolled, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Grandma, this business is done by slaves and maids, but what slaves and maids want is not wages. ”

Ning Xianglan frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Grandma, the slave maid helped you make incense, can you return the deed of sale to me?" Guan Qingyue asked tentatively.

Ning Xianglan straightened up and looked at her suspiciously, "What are you going to do with the deed of sale?" Do you want to go? ”

Guan Qingyue said: "Grandma Da Shao, the slave maid was originally a maid, and the work of making incense was not something that the slave should worry about. ”
