"Cuckoo's thing is confusing, don't steal money in Yingxia with selfish intentions, right?" After Su Jinyao left, Su Qianyao's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Su Yunyao had another idea.

"A bag of money, how much does that have to be? Which maid has access to that? What's more, it's taken out without telling the master? Aren't you afraid that the master will find out that the money is gone? I don't think it's like the cuckoo insisted on it, it's more like the second lady arranged it. ”

"So what the hell is going on?" Su Qianyao was confused.

"Let's think about this now, it's the blind man helping the blind man to walk, there is no clue, it's better to wait and see what else Yingxiaju can make and make a sound."

That night, Su Yao slept with Cao Qianlian again and arrived at Yingxia Residence.

Su Yunyao heard from the news that Su Yuyao was sick and couldn't get out of bed, so Su Huiyao served by the bedside, washing the handkerchief and feeding the decoction, and robbed the maid of all her work.

"The slave maid inquired from the second-class girl Shuyan of Yingxiaju, and when she said that when she went in with the decoction, she heard that the voice of the third girl's cough changed, and the lord's distressed brows were tightly locked."

Su Yunyao didn't look at Lisheng, she was stirring a bowl of soup with a spoon, but she listened to what Lisheng said.

"The third sister has always been in good health, except for the second lady who said that I really haven't seen her sick with my own eyes, and now she is suddenly sick and can't get out of bed, there must be a problem." After speaking, Su Yunyao thought about it carefully and put the spoon on the edge of the bowl, "By the way, Ming'er Shu is here to teach us, the third sister, don't pretend to be sick because they don't want to go to class, right?" ”

"The girl has a point." Lisheng picked up the clothes stacked on the chair, shook them off one by one and hung them up, and said while busy, "It's just that Shuyan said that the illness seems to be real, the little face of the third girl has been unenergetic, and her temperament girl understands, so she can't pretend to be so similar." ”

Indeed, if she were to pretend for half an hour, she would definitely be able to pretend, but if it took a long time, her flaws would leak out.

In this regard, she is not as good as her own sister Su Huiyao, if Su Huiyao pretends to be sick, she can pretend to be very similar, and she must make Su Yao feel distressed to death.

"When I lived at my grandfather's house, there was a mother who was too lazy to work, and she was afraid that someone would ask, so she bought a pack of cough medicine, which would make people cough violently, but it was harmless to people's health, and I heard that the prescription was mixed with a lot of tonics." Su Yunyao remembered this, and immediately said, "In order to regain her favor, it is necessary for the second lady to sell herself miserably, but if you really want to regain your favor, you have to make your father feel sorry for the two sisters." ”

Lisheng nodded, but didn't say much.

The next day, the two in Yingxiaju, one took sick leave, saying that he was sick, and the other was busy taking care of him, and he didn't sleep all night, looking like a sister.

After Shu Xuexue heard the words from Yingxiaju, he waved his hand helplessly and motioned for her to go, and after the magpie left Qihuan Zhai, Shu Xuexue sighed slightly, "What do the girls in these two ladies' rooms do?" When the master is sick, they don't know how to wait, and they have to be tired of the master next to them, and a few girls have to talk to Master Su when they have time. ”

As soon as these words came out, several girls knew it.

Shu Xuezhu's words were beautiful, they didn't break the minds of the Su Yuyao sisters, and conveyed the meaning that they were not stupid and understood everything, and the rest depended on whether the other girls said it or not.

As long as he said it, Su Yao would suspect that the girl in Yingxiaju was deliberately cheating, but if he didn't say it, it wouldn't hinder Shu Xuexue from doing anything.

Su Yao felt sorry for his daughter last night, and he might not be able to think through it when he was anxious, but if he didn't understand it after a night, then he wouldn't be worthy of the position of a five-grade official.

But Su Yunyao and the others didn't want to tell their father, who didn't know that their father loved Cao's mother and daughter? When the time comes, you may not be able to say that you will suffer.

Today, Shu Xuexue is talking about one of the female rings, Su Moyao listened to it drowsy, and was named twice by Shu Xuexue, once she didn't answer anything, and the content of the answer was different from the content of the study, but Shu Xuexue didn't say about her, but asked her maid Liu Ya to take some cool oil and apply it to her temples, so as to ensure that she was refreshed and not sleepy, and she could listen to everything she learned.

Su Qianyao and Su Qingyao were generous and decent, the answers were correct, and they also had their own opinions on the matter, and Shu Xuexue rewarded the two of them with a pair of big characters.

Sheng Guiyan's learning has always been top-notch, but it is slightly inferior to the two sisters Su Qianyao and Su Qingyao, and Shu Xuexue also likes her and rewards her with a pair of big characters.

Qiao Lan pouted indifferently in his seat, and muttered to Shao Qing'er in a low voice, "What's the use of writing those words?" If you don't eat the fruit and don't spend the money, I won't even look at it if you give it to me! ”

Shao Qing'er also echoed and said, "Looking at Sheng Guiyan's triumphant appearance, Shu Xuexue is just pitiful that she is blind in one eye, and she really deserves a word, like a treasure?" ”

Sheng Guizhi is a concubine, and they don't dare to talk about it, but Sheng Guiyan is different.

Although Sheng Guiyan and Sheng Guiyan have a very good relationship, unlike the daughters and daughters of other people's families, Sheng Guizhi can't take care of many things, just like the two are talking now, what can she do if she doesn't hear it?

Before Shao Qing'er could finish speaking, Shu Xue glanced at her with his eyebrows twisted and called her, "Miss Qing'er, what is your problem?" ”

"No..." The sudden sound frightened Shao Qing'er, and hurriedly turned around, not looking at Qiao Lan in the back seat of her, "It's nothing." ”

Cheng Tao has been at Su's house for a few days, and it is time to leave.

He brought a lot of things with him when he came, and when he left, the Su family naturally had to bring some things to the Cheng family, and he stuffed a carriage full of Dengdeng, some dry goods and the abundance of the imperial capital were not valuable, but they were even closer.

If it is really precious, Cheng Tao will never accept it.

Almost the entire Su family was dispatched to see Cheng Tao, except for the fourth lady Liu He who was recuperating and the mother and daughter of Yingxiaju, most of them were really sick and fake.

When he arrived at the gate, Qin Manhuai became sad for a while, and took Cheng Tao's hand, "Pay more attention to the way back, don't let the thieves stare at you, safety is the most important, come back with a letter when you get home, don't let my aunt worry, tell your mother that everything is fine, Qian'er's body is good, Mo'er has learned a lot of things recently, Yun'er has always been well-behaved, tell your mother truthfully, let her not worry." ”

Su Yao was also sad, and said to Cheng Tao, "You must come here before the New Year's Festival, and pay attention to safety on the way back." ”

"Aunt and uncle, don't worry, Tao'er will keep it in mind, and she will carry the letter when she goes back."

Seeing that Cheng Tao was about to get into the carriage, Su Yunyao came out of the mansion and handed him a thick knee pad, "Cousin, pay attention to safety, it's still winter when it's cold on the road, don't freeze your knees." ”

Cheng Tao smiled with relief, took the knee pads and waved his hand, "It's cold outside, let's go in quickly." ”

The group didn't return home until Cheng Tao's horse team went away.

Qin Manhuai was wrapped in a plain velvet embroidered jacket, standing in front of the gate and reluctant to go back, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and a cold wind blew her eyes suddenly, and the tears that had not been wiped off rolled down her cheeks.

Su Qianyao helped her, wiped her tears for her, and comforted, "My cousin is a blessed one, this journey must be very safe, don't be sad, don't be sad, we can meet again in a while." ”

The three girls helped Qin Manhuai like this, and first returned to Su Ning Yuan.

"Let's have lunch here today, I'll let Mother Qiu cook it herself, the shredded chicken noodle soup she makes is your favorite, it's very cold this weather, you should drink something warm and light."

Su Yunyao snuggled in Qin Manhuai's arms, living like a child, and said in a milky voice, "Mother Qiu's skills are good, and her daughters like them, but her daughter doesn't want to see her mother sad and sad, so no matter how delicious the shredded chicken noodle soup is, it won't taste good." ”

"You little monkey!" Qin Manhuai nodded her head dotingly, "How old is it, and let me be a mother?" ”

"By my mother's side, Yun'er will always be a child, and she will always be a little leather monkey!"

Qin Manhuai, who was amused by these words, smiled, and the sadness of parting was a little gone.

Mother Qiu's hands and feet were nimble, not only made several bowls of shredded chicken noodle soup, but also made a small pot of chaos.

The white and chubby Chaos is like a newborn milk boy, with a bulging belly, rolling up and down in the basin, and the chaotic noodle soup is sprinkled with a lot of chopped coriander, which is full of aroma, making people feel hungry when they smell it.

Su Moyao couldn't control it, and hurriedly filled a bowl of chaos, just shredded chicken noodle soup, a mouthful of noodles and a mouthful of chaos, she couldn't speak clearly.

Qiu's mother smiled on the side and said, "Ten girls, be careful!" There are too many of these, no one will rob you, and you won't be able to eat slaves and maids to do it! ”

Su Qianyao likes this kind of warm food, Chaos used a small bowl, and ate a large bowl of noodle soup, she didn't want to move, it was rare to eat so much. Seeing that the fifth daughter, who has always had a poor appetite, ate so much, Qin Manhuai was happy in her heart.

Mother Qiu also made some radish rolls, cut the white radish into thin slices, rolled some shredded ham and shredded meat, and after steaming, she could smell the fragrance before removing the lid of the steamer, Su Yunyao first clamped one for Qin Manhuai, and then another one for herself.

Seeing that the masters were eating well, Qiu's mother kept smiling beside her, as if she was eating herself.

Su Yunyao pulled out a chair from under the table and asked Qiu's mother to sit too.

The master and servant in Su Ning Yuan are single-minded, especially Mother Qiu, who has followed Qin Manhuai for many years, and has always been trusted by her, just like a sister, without so many rules and politeness.

Seeing that the fifth girl gave up her seat, Mother Qiu was not polite, so she sat down.

Su Moyao hurriedly served her a bowl of chaos, and said in a similar manner, "Mother Qiu has been busy in the kitchen for so long, hurry up and eat a bowl of chaos to drive away the cold!" ”

There aren't many times when I can hear Su Moyao care about people.

Originally, because of Cheng Tao's departure, Qin Manhuai was still a little sad, but when these girls came, they dispelled those who were unhappy, and the food and drink were fragrant, and they ate a lot more than usual.
