"You're really relying on your identity as a concubine!" Su Peiyao and Su Yunyao stood facing each other, "How can I say that I am also your sister, where is my daughter's family talking to my sister with a red face and a thick neck?" If I don't have a good education, it will cause jokes, and that's your mother's uneducated problem! ”

"Fourth sister, I don't know where to start." Su Yunyao slowly fanned the fan in her hand, "First, I didn't blush with the fourth sister and the thick neck, it was the fourth sister who provoked first, and first said that it was not inferior to my mother, and secondly, whether the fourth sister is educated or not has nothing to do with my mother, the fourth sister is much closer to her grandmother on weekdays, and she almost never went to my mother's house to ask Ann to talk, if it is really a problem with no upbringing, then the fourth sister blames the eldest lady or grandmother?" ”

When Su Peiyao heard this, she was extremely angry, "Good you cheap hoof!" ”

"How can you say that the fourth sister is also a dignified daughter, and she scolds people in a few words, who dares to marry you back?" After Su Yunyao finished speaking, she stomped her feet, led Su Qianyao and Su Moyao and left.

Only Su Peiyao was left, and under the bamboo forest, her angry face turned red.

The wind rustled through the bamboo forest, Su Peiyao broke a few leaves to make a few sections, sat on the stone bench and threw them while scolding, "A nest of cheap hooves!" Goods that can't be on the table! When I get married, I will raise my eyes to see you! When the time comes, I don't care if I have something to ask for! Let a cheap hoof hit me, I'm really working for nothing! ”

After sitting for a long time and scolding for a long time, the old lady didn't want to listen to it, and saw that the sky was about to get cloudy.

"Girl, shall we go back?" Shui Lu asked from the side.

"Urge, urge, when will I go back! Even you want to pinch me? Su Peiyao stood up angrily, threw away all the bamboo leaves in her hand, and took two steps tightly, "It's impossible to do without my mother, everyone wants to step on me!" ”

Shui Lu grew up with Su Peiyao since she was a child, and she never had the mind of crossing her master, and she wanted to serve Su Peiyao wholeheartedly, but she didn't want to be so angry with her.

On the other side, Cao Qianlian was lying on the bed, and there was a bowl of steaming decoction on the lid of the bedside box, which was black and could be poured out, but it was unpleasant.

The whole room smelled of the potion.

"Mother, you said that you would be sick as soon as you were sick, why did you really drink medicine?" Su Yuyao served by the bedside, her little face was wrinkled, and she covered her nose with a handkerchief, "This smell is really pungent, bitter like bile!" ”

"As the saying goes, if you don't get into the tiger's den, you have to do a full set of plays, otherwise if the old lady comes to see me jumping around in a while, we will be uncomfortable!"

"But..."Su Yuyao said in a low voice, "I don't know what the fourth sister said, the old lady believes it or not." ”

"The old lady usually hurts the four girls like she hurts her heart, we don't care if she believes it or not, as long as she has a good relationship with the four girls, it must be right." Cao Qianlian said as she reached out and moved the handkerchief on her forehead.

"Mother, this medicine is very bitter, you won't hurt yourself if you drink it, right?" Su Yuyao asked again.

"Silly boy! It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, where do I dare to really drink the medicine that cures the disease? If you don't get sick, you have to drink sick. When Cao Qianlian heard this, his face hated that iron could not become steel, "This herb is a tonic prepared by the doctor, specially for the body, you can drink some when you go back." ”

Su Yuyao's whole body was resisting, "Don't, don't, this medicine makes me have a headache, if I really take a sip, I'm afraid that half of my daughter's life will be lost!" ”

"What's so scary?" Cao Qianlian touched Su Yuyao's head with the tip of her finger.

Su Yunyao picked up Qin Manhuai from the ancestral hall and accompanied her back to Su Ning Yuan.

"Don't go back yet, let's have lunch here in a moment." Qin Manhuai sat in front of the dresser, pinching a beaded hairpin and sticking it into the bun, "Eat a pot for lunch." ”

Su Moyao squatted on the ground and said to her, "It's good to eat the pot!" The family ancestral hall is cold, mother, you have to eat some hot to drive away the cold! ”

"If you want to eat anything, go back and tell Qiuxia." As he spoke, Qin Manhuai plugged in another one.

Serving in the family ancestral hall, she can't bring these beaded jewelry, but now that she has left the family ancestral hall, she naturally wants to put on the shelf of the eldest lady.

The steward is hard, outsiders will gossip, what kind of jealousy and meanness This kind of word is already good.

But if she can't put up the big lady's shelf, the old lady above will blame her, the maid below will not be convinced by her, and people outside will have to spread some indecent gossip.

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Manhuai felt a headache, and reached out and pinched his eyebrows.

The pot is very rich, mushrooms, vegetables, meatballs, fish balls, noodles, fungus, shrimp, and all kinds of meat slices, and finally a plate of white fungus.

"I heard that Cao Qianlian is sick?" When Qin Manhuai asked about this, he happened to have a meatball.

"What she said, mother, you should not have heard it, six and a half of the seven sentences can be false." Su Moyao said as she put food in her mouth and said, "I heard that Dr. Fang Cai also went to Yingxiaju, and the maid was decocting medicine and sending bird's nest to eat, and they all caught up with confinement." ”

Su Yunyao answered next to her: "Since it is a play, it is natural to do it." ”

"Then grandmother didn't believe her, did she?" Su Qianyao asked.

"She said she didn't believe it, but in her heart she was the top of the fourth sister, if the fourth sister shed two tears, she couldn't help but believe it or not." Su Yunyao said, filling a spoonful of soup in a bowl.

"Come on, ask a hundred of your questions, wait." Although Qin Manhuai said that he was blaming, his tone was full of pampering, "You can just say a few words in your yard if you say this kind of thing, don't let others listen to it, and you will have to make the old lady angry at that time." ”

"Got it." The three daughters agreed in unison.

The heat from the pot heated the room, and the noodle soup bubbled and bubbled, and every now and then a meatball would come up and sink to the bottom.

Su Moyao held a spoon and served it in the soup base for a long time, "Why are there no meatballs?" ”

"My sister, you're going to get married, why can't you keep your mouth shut?" Su Yunyao quipped, "Didn't you eat all the meatballs?" ”

"Where!" Su Moyao pouted, "I'm afraid that the eleventh sister has eaten it up, and it will be buckled on my head, right?" ”

As he was talking, Mama Zhou came in from outside.

"Big lady." After Mama Zhou entered the house, she gently blessed her body, "The old lady asked the slave to send the housekeeper key and seal, as well as the bills of the past few years, which recorded in detail the incoming and outgoing accounts of our Su Mansion. ”

"I'm tired of Mama Zhou running away in person." Qin Manhuai took these things as he spoke.

"This housekeeper's business should have been handed over to the eldest lady a long time ago, but the old lady feels sorry for you, madam, and wants to help you while she is still busy."

"It's natural, I understand it." Qin Manhuai said as he motioned to the maid to serve tea to Mama Zhou.

"Although Mrs. used to be a housekeeper, but everything depends on whether the old lady nods or not, this time the old lady said, all trivial matters are up to you, Madame, if you encounter a tricky thing that is not appropriate, then ask the old lady for help."

"The daughter-in-law thanked the old lady here."

"Where, Madame is polite."

"Let's stay here and have some tea before we go." Qin Manhuai said in a loud voice.

Mama Zhou was not easy to refuse, only said two or three kind words, then sat on the stool rewarded by the eldest lady and ate tea.

After sending Mama Zhou away, Qin Manhuai looked at the housekeeper key in the square plate and was stunned for a long time.

"What's the matter, mother? But what's wrong? Su Yunyao asked.

"Nope." Qin Manhuai lowered his head, as if he had made some decision, "Everyone outside said that they all felt that they were beautiful people who were housekeepers, but how did they know how hot this key was?" As long as you take over, there will be many, many pairs of eyes staring at you, staring at your mistakes, staring at your loopholes. ”

"Mother can sit up straight, don't be afraid of those people." Su Moyao leaned over and said.

Su Qianyao, who has always spoken little, also said, "Even if this key weighs a thousand gold, my daughter believes in her mother's ability more, and she will be able to control Su Mansion very well." ”

"That being said..."Qin Manhuai took a deep breath, "That's it, let's eat." ”

When I returned to Qinzhuxuan, it was just in time for the afternoon when the sun was the hottest, and several girls' families felt that they were going to lose their skin through the sunlight of their clothes.

"It's obviously cloudy, and it's going to rain soon, how did you come back after lunch, and it's hot again?" Su Moyao said impatiently: "What a ghost weather! ”

The three of them almost trotted back to Qinzhuxuan with the maid.

"Grab a glass of cheese and put some ice cubes, I feel like I'm going to get sunburned!" Su Moyao said, grabbed Su Yunyao's arm next to her and asked, "Do you see if I'm tanned?" ”

Su Yunyao was also sweating at this time, and replied angrily, "It's sunburned, it's sunburned!" ”

"Okay, you little hoof, after I finished speaking, you pushed the boat down the river, didn't you?"

Next to her, Su Qianyao came over with a wet handkerchief, "Don't talk about it, go back to the room and change your clothes, and then use this handkerchief to wipe your arms and face, it's cooler." ”

"It's better for my fifth sister to treat me!" After Su Moyao finished speaking, she turned her head and grimaced at Su Yunyao, "I want to hear a word of concern and comfort from the mouth of the eleventh sister, but I'm afraid it's even more difficult than ascending to the sky!" ”

In a few moments, all three of them had changed their clothes.

It was hot for several days, it didn't rain on a cloudy day, and it never blew a cool breeze, so it was dry and roasted, as if it was going to crack the ground.

Cao Qianlian is also smart, and she saved the girls from morning and dusk by pretending to be sick, thinking that she could leave a filial and virtuous impression on her two girls at the old lady.

But she didn't know that the old lady's heart was like a mirror, and she didn't take the idea she had made in her eyes.

In a blink of an eye, it was the agreed day, led by the eldest lady Qin Manhuai, and took several girls from Su Mansion to Qingdehou Mansion for tea.

Seeing that the opportunity fell in front of him, Cao Qianlian couldn't sit still, and he didn't pretend to be sick, and he came to Chang Xizhai in the early morning to say goodbye.
