Because of the peeking of Yingxiaju in Liuyunzhai, Su Jinyao was a little worried, but Kang Jinglan didn't take it seriously.

"It's the people of Yingxiaju who don't have clean hands and feet, what are you afraid of?"

Su Jinyao snuggled up to Kang Jinglan and played with the handkerchief in her hand, "It's a good thing if it's really that the cuckoo's hands and feet are not clean, but the cuckoo has served the second lady for many years, and she is simply a confidant-like existence, if you want to say that she treacherously stole Yingxiaju's money, I don't believe it." ”

Indeed, Kang Jinglan did not believe it either.

"But in the end, the money was taken away by her, even if your father and your grandmother knew, the second lady took her out casually and took the crime, we still can't clean up the second lady."

What Kang Jinglan said is also true, catching thieves and catching dirty, but only catching a cuckoo doesn't count, just with Cao Qianlian's ability to turn black into white, I'm afraid that if she catches her dirty on the spot, she will turn the danger into a disaster.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly persuaded her daughter, "This matter is over, don't intervene if there is anything, I'm afraid that it will hurt you if you get involved in this matter." ”

Su Jinyao nodded, "My daughter knows." ”

The speed of the cold in winter seems to be all of a sudden, and Shao Qing'er stopped coming after a few snowfalls, saying that she slipped and broke her leg when she got off the carriage at Shao's house.

This sick leave is the same as Su Yuyao and Su Huiyao.

Shao Qing'er's father is a typical favorite concubine and wife, Su Yao doesn't have anything to look at compared to him, he only cares about his daughters Shao Xi'er and Shao Yan'er, and he doesn't look at Shao Qing'er's concubine at all.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to send only one of her concubines to the Su family to study.

Naturally, it is difficult to distinguish whether she broke her leg or not, and the Shao family doesn't care about her studies, she just rests for a few days if she doesn't want to come, anyway, they don't care.

Shao Qing'er didn't come, Qiao Lan didn't have a partner who usually spoke, Su Huiyao threw herself on Sheng Changyu, sent him two purses and rejected them, and later embroidered a handkerchief with his name, and asked the maid to stuff it into his bookbox while he was unprepared, and finally waited for him to come out of Cangbai Pavilion, go to Qihuanzhai to pick up his two younger sisters from school, and put the bookbox on the table, but Xiaodie was seen by Sheng Guiyan before she could stuff it.

Sheng Guiyan saw that Sheng Guizhi must have known that the veil was stuffed, and before Fluttershy could withdraw her hand, she was caught off guard by the flying books.

"Okay, you, what are you doing sneakily? Where did you learn the rules? Sheng Guizhi pointed at Fluttershy and scolded.

If Su Huiyao hadn't come out to stop her, I'm afraid that Fluttershy wouldn't be able to get over this time, and she would definitely be accused of going to Su Yao's.

The handkerchief was taken away in a bookbox, but the next day Su Huiyao saw the handkerchief in the snow in front of the porch of Qihuanzhai, and she didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been done by Sheng Guizhi.

In this way, she has been holding her breath in her heart, and she has no good face for Qiao Lan.

As for Su Yuyao, because the Xiao family has not come during this time, no one from the Xiao family has come, Xiao Qi naturally will not come for no reason, Su Yuyao is anxious, but there is no way, and she does not give Qiao Lan a good look.

Simply, Qiao Lan asked her father Qiao Lu to ask her for sick leave on the grounds that he was afraid of breaking his leg if he was slippery on a snowy road.

When the old lady learned this, she sat on the chair and held the stove and snorted coldly, "The good ones don't learn the bad ones, and they go to the sky one by one!" It's just right not to study, and I still feel sorry for a few granddaughters who are going to class against the wind and snow! ”

In this way, in the last few days of the year, the official school was closed, which can be regarded as a holiday under the New Year's Festival, and it will be opened when the weather is warmer after the New Year.

Su Yunyao got up early and drank a bowl of crab porridge and used two small buns, she didn't have breakfast with her two sisters today.

After dinner, the three girls got together and prepared to go to Chang Xi Zhai to greet the old lady.

There is a stove in Chang Xizhai, and the steaming heat is not like winter at all, and the temperature matches the old lady's face.

It's rare to see her smile.

"You're here? Come and sit! The old lady didn't wait for them to say goodbye, but directly asked them to get up, stretched out her hand to signal them to sit down, and said with a smile on her face, "Your second sister has sent a letter, indicating that you are going back to the door!" ”

"Second sister!" Su Moyao was also very happy to hear the news, "Second sister is coming back?" ”

The old lady nodded, the happiness on her face overflowed, and there was only a slit left in her smiling eyes.

However, Su Yunyao was a little worried about something else, "Seeing that Yuanchun will be in a few days, the second sister will return to the door at this time, and the road is slippery on a snowy day, is it appropriate?" ”

The question she asked was also the old lady's concern.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and since there is a problem, try to solve it. The old lady put the hand stove aside and said, "I have arranged it, tomorrow morning, there will be a few little maids who will drive the carriage to the ancient house, and bring Jing'er to wait, the clothes are warmer, and the things are ready, as for the slippery road, there are many people and the car is stable, and there are many people who get out of the car to help, and they will not be able to fall my Jing'er!" ”

Since the old lady said so, Su Yunyao can only rest assured.

But before he could be happy, another letter was delivered to Su's house when it was almost dark in the evening.

The old lady was holding the letter, her hands shaking.

Mama Zhou walked briskly from the side, took the letter and folded it aside, and said with relief, "Don't be angry, the Zhu family is also worried about the second girl." ”

The old lady slammed the table, "If she's really worried about Jing'er, it's fine!" I know best what she's for! It's for Jing'er's belly! ”

Mama Zhou hurriedly rubbed her hands for the old lady, "Don't be angry, old lady, anyway, the second girl will come back tomorrow, can you still see it?" ”

"I really want to see Jing'er! But where do I want to see Zhu? She's here to do something! The servant of my Su family didn't pick her up, what did she do! The old lady slapped the table angrily, the strength was a little smaller than that of Fang Cai, and then pressed her eyebrows with her other hand, "At the beginning, I didn't agree with Jing'er marrying into a merchant's family, and the merchant's family is not afraid of making a fool of himself, so what don't you dare to do?" Treating her daughter-in-law harshly as an official should be ashamed, and it will not be too much, but she Zhu is not afraid of being ugly, and let Jing'er stand in the rules for three days, what she does here is not right, what she does there is wrong, in order to make her pregnant, she got so many home remedies for her to eat, and she was poisoned last time and almost died! I hate it! ”

Seeing that the old lady was full of tears, Mama Zhou was also worried, so she wiped it lightly with a handkerchief, and her voice softened to persuade, "But I have already survived at that time, haven't I?" Old lady, look ahead, after this birth of this child, the Zhu family will definitely treat the second girl well, not to mention that the second aunt has always respected our girl..."

"The second aunt can't do it at this point, if he has half of my son's protector Jing'er, I won't be worried." The old lady stretched out her hand and pounded her head, and tears fell silently.

When it came to the Cao family, the master and servant were also speechless.

Su Jingyao's letter said that the road was not easy to walk in winter, and her mother-in-law was worried about her health, so she asked to come to the house together.

It seems that Su Jingyao also knew what Zhu meant, and she was shocked how Zhu dared to let her out this time, but she didn't expect that she had such a thought.

If she had said it earlier, Su Jingyao would definitely consider that the old lady did not want to see the Zhu family, and then she would be embarrassed, so she would directly say that she would not go to the Zhu family.

But now she just wrote a letter in the morning to say that she was back at the door, and in the afternoon Zhu said that she was with her, and she couldn't change it if she wanted to, so it could be said that she was caught off guard.

There was no way, Su Jingyao had to write another letter to inform the old lady in advance about her mother-in-law's visit.

It is understandable that the Zhu family has to follow this matter, after all, she has been looking forward to her grandson for so long, and finally waited until her daughter-in-law has a big belly, so she has to be careful? But what is wrong with her is that her daughter-in-law also has a maiden family after all, she doesn't believe that her mother's family can take care of Su Jingyao at all, and she speaks and acts aggressively, which makes the old lady angry and can't say anything, for fear that Su Jingyao's life in the Gu family will not be easy.

Qin Manhuai is busy with tomorrow's banquet in Su Ning Yuan, you must know that not only the second girl of the Su family is back, but her mother-in-law is also coming, and she always has to greet her, and she can't be sloppy.

Qiu Xia brought her a booklet, Qin Manhuai picked up the brush and wrote a few words, Qiu Yue said outside, "Big lady, the fifth girl and the eleventh girl are here." ”

Qin Manhuai didn't look up, and said in a somewhat blaming tone, "What are they doing on such a cold day, let them come in." ”

Before they could finish speaking, the two entered the house.

When they came to their mothers, they had never behaved.

"It's so cold at night, I don't know how to wear more!" Qin Manhuai got up, tightened Su Qianyao's neckline, and said, "Take off the cloak for a while, don't get cold." ”

Su Qianyao smiled, "Mother, don't worry, Mother Zhao forced her daughter to wear an extra jacket in it, and two coats were worn, and she was sweating when she walked away." ”

"Be even more careful when you sweat!" Qin Manhuai turned his head to look at Su Yunyao, "You too, why are you still here so late?" ”

Su Yunyao came over and took Qin Manhuai's arm, and the two sat down together, "No, the tenth sister suddenly wanted to paint somehow, and the daughter and the fifth sister thought that they couldn't be disturbed, so they came out for a walk!" ”

"Mo'er painting?" Qin Manhuai looked incredulous, "How can she take the initiative to paint when she picks up a pen and has a headache?" ”

"My daughter couldn't figure it out, I heard Zhao's mother say that the second sister Ming'er came back, and the tenth sister had a whim to draw a picture for the second sister."

Qin Manhuai smiled: "It's a good thing to want to write." ”

Qiu Xia came in with two plates of fruits, a plate of shortbread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and Su Yunyao took a bite of the cake crumbs that fell all over her body. Fortunately, in front of Qin Manhuai, if others see it, they will definitely be reprimanded.

However, Qin Manhuai just touched her head dotingly, and motioned Qiu Yue with her eyes to clean up Su Yunyao's clothes.

There is also a plate of chestnut cake, which is very sweet, Su Qianyao doesn't like this kind of sweet and greasy thing, so she only eats two pieces.

"I'll take the rest of the rest for Mo'er to take back, she likes to eat it." Qin Manhuai sat next to Su Yunyao and said.

Su Yunyao leaned on her, "Mother, Ming'er, your mother-in-law is here, have you thought about what to do?" Zhu's mouth, there must be nothing good to hear, don't take it to heart when the time comes. ”
