Six: Pretending to be sick

If she says a few more words, I'm afraid Su Qingyao will cry.

Su Yunyao had no choice but to persuade and said, "The fourth sister grew up in the pile of money, so naturally she has good clothes, but Sister Qingyao's body is really beautiful." ”

These words coaxed Su Peiyao on the one hand, and praised Su Qingyao on the other.

Su Qingyao is the second daughter of the Su family, although she is a concubine, her father is not very capable, so Su Qingyao's life in the Su Mansion is not as good as the concubine scenery of the big house.

Her grandmother passed away early, so the family could only rely on this old lady Su except for Su Yao, because the family was in charge of the big lady Qin Manhuai, but if there was anything, the old lady had to nod her head to count.

The old lady loves Su Peiyao and is proud of her habitual pampering, and it is not once or twice that she has spoken so loudly about her sisters.

Listening to Su Yunyao's persuasion in the middle, Su Peiyao was happy in her heart, but she took a closer look at Su Qingyao's clothes and felt that it was really good-looking.

Like a torch, it ignited her jealousy.

"What's pretty? Eleventh sister, haven't you seen any good material? How can you be so ignorant of occupying the position of a concubine? If you spread it, you will lose the face of the Su family! ”

Mama Zhou listened from the sidelines and felt that the four girls were wrong.

But the old lady didn't know that Su Peiyao had always been like this.

How many times I was angry with her, I thought about her mother's early death, but I still loved her and loved her, and I couldn't wait to take a board for her.

But she is used to it, but she doesn't want to be used to it.

Su Yunyao was also angry in her heart, but this was in the courtyard of Chang Xizhai, and Su Peiyao was afraid that she could not be punished because of the old lady's love, but she was different, her mother served the ancestors in the family ancestral hall, what can she be capable of as a little girl?

"Granddaughter greets grandmother." Several girls curtched in unison.

Su Peiyao took two steps forward and grabbed Mrs. Su's arm, "Grandmother, granddaughter misses you!" ”

The old lady stretched out her dry hand, gently touched Su Peiyao's hand, and her smiling mouth almost reached behind her ears, "What's the matter?" I haven't seen you all night, where do you miss your grandmother? ”

"I've thought of everything!" Su Peiyao said, helped the old lady sit down, and poured her another cup of tea.

"Alright, alright." The old lady beckoned, motioning for her to come to her side, "Let your sisters get up, it's tiring to be polite." ”

It took Su Yunyao a few times before she stood up.

As soon as the ass sat down in the chair, a few more came in from outside.

Led by the two daughters of Hu Zhirou, the second concubine, Su Qinyao and Su Yiyao, followed by Su Wanyao, the daughter of Liu He, the eldest concubine.

"Granddaughter greets grandmother."

"Get up." The old lady raised her hand, and several girls followed suit.

"Twelve girls, how is your mother's body?" The old lady asked.

Su Wanyao replied, "Thank you grandmother for your concern, my mother's health is okay, and the situation has been much better recently, and I used half a bowl of porridge in the morning." ”

The old lady nodded, "The fourth lady is pregnant with the flesh and blood of our Su family, but you have to be careful." ”

Su Wanyao said again, "The eldest lady sent some supplements to Tianning Xuan yesterday, and my mother asked her granddaughter to thank the eldest lady here today." ”

Su Qianyao turned slightly from the chair, "The eldest lady is the head of the house, and it is within her duty to care about the fourth lady, and I also ask the twelfth sister to turn around and tell the fourth lady, there is no need to worry, just rest assured that raising the baby is a reward for the eldest lady." ”

The old lady looked at the five girls with a smile.

Although her personality is a little weaker, Su Qianyao is the most sensible, distinguishes between good and evil, and speaks and does things in the style of everyone's ladies, not like the fourth girl, Su Peiyao, who is clingy and coquettish, nor like the seventh girl, who is in front of her face and behind her back, and is not like the third girl who spills regardless of the situation, lest she not lose the Su family.

Su Peiyao noticed the old lady's eyes looking at Su Qianyao.

Over the years, Su Qianyao's presence in Su Mansion has been very low, but every time she speaks and does things, the old lady recognizes her, and she occupies the position of a concubine, so it is natural that good people will give priority to her in the future.

And although Su Peiyao herself is also a concubine, her mother died early and passed under the current eldest lady, she has always felt that the eldest lady is only good to her own daughter, where can she take care of a child born next to her?

Su Qianyao is excellent, but her personality is not good, she can't carry a heavy burden on her body, she can only cry and cry when she has anything, even if she knows how to do things? People who are too weak will not be able to make great things.

Su Peiyao thought in her heart, glanced at Su Qianyao fiercely, and then turned to the old lady and said, "What the fifth sister said is reasonable!" The eldest lady is in charge of the Su Mansion, and it is within her duty to care about the four ladies, where is the need to be grateful? ”

The old lady frowned when she heard this, and her eyes met Su Peiyao, but after she said this, she still thought she was right, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, which made the old lady a little angry.

is so arrogant, doesn't take other people's gratitude to heart, how to manage good family affairs when you get married in the future?

"Pei'er is not right." The old lady didn't say it too thoroughly, thinking that there were many people in the house, so don't lose the face of the little girl in public, so that she can't raise her head.

In the end, I still feel sorry for this granddaughter and want to get used to it more.

"By the way, what about the two girls in the second lady's room?" The old lady asked.

"The fourth sister and the seventh sister said that the second lady is not very comfortable, so she has to be in Yingxiaju! Take care of it, and I won't come to say hello to my grandmother today. Su Peiyao replied.

"Cao Qianlian? What's wrong with her? The old lady asked again.

She knew Cao Qianlian's face, but she was afraid that she was thinking about something in her heart to whiten what her daughter did yesterday.

"Yesterday, the seventh sister wanted to stand up for her granddaughter, but she didn't want to recognize the wrong cat, probably wronged the eleventh sister, so the second lady fell ill in a hurry, afraid that grandmother you would be angry with the two sisters." Su Peiyao paused, and said, "The second lady is also worried about her daughter, and she is too anxious to think about it, I am afraid that grandmother, you will not like the two sisters because of a misunderstanding." ”

The old lady snorted coldly in her heart, and said in her heart, "This Cao Qianlian really uses this fourth girl as a knife messenger, and even pretending to be pitiful has to rely on her mouth to say, if she is really angry at that time, she will not be angry with her Cao Qianlian." ’

This fourth girl is even more simple-minded.

The old lady sighed and said, "Pei'er, don't worry, go back to Yingxiaju to see your second lady." ”

Su Peiyao thought that the old lady believed what she said, and the corners of her mouth rose, "Thank you grandmother for your concern, it's not a big problem to think about the second lady, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

"Isn't it?" The old lady's tone was full of ridicule and helplessness, "I know that I can't go around in front of an old woman like me for a while, so I use this leisure time to pretend to be sick, so that everyone cares about her and feels sorry for her." ”

"What do you mean by grandmother?"

"Since it's pretending to be sick, it's naturally getting better quickly." As the old lady spoke, her eyes drifted to Su Peiyao.

Su Peiyao only felt that her hairs stood up at that time.

But Cao Qianlian is indeed sick, she is convinced of this second lady, and she doesn't think she is pretending to be sick.

That can only be the old lady's fault.

"Grandmother Mingjian, the second lady is indeed sick, and she did not pretend to be sick to deceive her grandmother."

"Yes or no, what does it matter?" The old lady didn't want to fight with Su Peiyao, so she turned her head and told Mama Zhou, "Bring the exquisite ice cream cup to a few girls, it's hot, quench their thirst." ”

Mama Zhou came over and went down.

The maid next to her held a not too big fan next to the old lady, fanning the wind gently.

"Gai Ming'er, your eldest brother is coming back, and the eldest daughter-in-law will also have to come back, and this courtyard will be even more lively." As she spoke, the old lady took a sip of tea, "From now on, you will only give me peace of mind in the courtyard, don't make any noise, and don't do anything out of the ordinary." ”

Listening to the meaning of this, does the old lady not want to take care of the house?

I only heard her say again, "There is nothing wrong with the eldest lady's housekeeper, she has been careful for more than ten years, and her style of receiving people and things is rigorous, I am old, and I want to completely hand over the housekeeper's affairs to her, and I will definitely be busy for a while at the beginning, don't cause trouble for her, and don't block me here." ”

Qin Manhuai herself didn't know about this, and the old lady didn't want to give up the housekeeping business, but she looked at the two sentences of the fifth girl, Su Qianyao, who was not long, very similar to her mother's usual appearance, and she thought that she would do well.

"I'll go back to the ancestral hall in a while to pick up your mother, tell her, I'll give her the housekeeper key messed up." The old lady said to Su Qianyao.

Su Peiyao almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth at this moment.

She thought to herself that the second lady had only been sick for one day, and the old lady completely believed in the eldest lady and handed her the housekeeper key.

If there was no scheming among the envoys of Qin Manhuai, Su Peiyao would not believe it if he was killed.

When leaving Chang Xizhai, Su Peiyao stopped Su Qianyao who was about to go to the ancestral hall.

"What's the matter with the fourth sister?" Su Qianyao asked.

"Don't think that your mother will get cheap with her ideas! The housekeeper's business is not so easy, don't really make any mistakes, I will definitely catch the mistake when the time comes, so that you mother and daughter will not even have a chance to breathe! ”

"The fourth sister is confused." Su Yunyao said slowly: "Fourth sister, open your mouth, shut up, your mother, your mother, isn't it that the fourth sister didn't remember my mother?" Even if the fourth sister disrespects the elders, she should have to call the eldest lady with her. ”

"I'm talking about the master's business! What does it have to do with respecting the elders or not! ”

Su Peiyao has not realized her mistake until now, she is purely doing things, and she doesn't even want to think about what she says.

"First, there will be a mother in charge of the family's affairs, even if there is a mistake one day, it has to be counted by grandmother, why don't you catch the wrong place?" Su Yunyao took two steps towards Su Peiyao as she spoke, "Second, let's not say that you are under my mother, just say that she is your elder, you will never be allowed to open your mouth, your mother shut up your mother, and if you spread it, it will only say that you are uneducated." ”
