Xian Chen, who had just turned around, immediately "came back" obediently. I saw Yun Yi slowly walk to the desk, open the drawer, take out a carved mahogany box with a very delicate palm size, and throw it to Xian Chen: "Return gift."

Xian Chen's eyes quickly caught it, and he smiled with a smile: "Thank you."

Yunyi looked up again, and the dust was gone. Look at the sky, the time is approaching, and she should indeed go back. It's just that...... Before I knew it, it was almost dawn.

It was more than half of the time when Xianchen returned home, and he was so tired that he slept until two o'clock, and everyone only thought that his body was not well and did not ask much. The next few days were to prepare for the Midyear Festival, and they were so busy that Yunyi's injuries were left behind and there was no time to ask about them.

Although the Midyear Festival is not very difficult, it is not easy for the fledgling fine dust, and after four days of hurrying, it is finally a little eyebrow-raising. In previous years, the "New Rice Offering" was just a large vat with three moon-white glazed eight immortals crossing the sea, which was full of new rice and enshrined in the ancestral hall. This year, Xianchen changed to 7749 pieces of black Tianmu porcelain, arranged in the shape of a pagoda, and each bowl was filled with new rice, which made people feel the abundant harvest from a distance.

There is a small river in the Yan Mansion, which flows from a corner of the west courtyard to the east gate, and turns at the Jingyuan. Because there are 100 pear blossoms in Jingyuan, the petals float into the river, which is poignant and beautiful, so this river is called "funeral flower flow". In previous years, the ladies in the house were all buried here to exile the lanterns, and Xianchen did not dare to break the rules of the house, so he changed the lanterns of all colors into various animal lamps, so that the ladies in the house were fresh.

In addition, other agendas are also discussed with the children one by one, and they are arranged one by one. It is roughly the sixth day of the first month, and thinking that tomorrow is the begging festival, Xianchen's restless heart is faintly restless.

Shen Shi had afternoon tea, and he calculated the expenditure budget again, and when he had nothing to do, he went to Mrs. Xiao with Xiao Yuer to say goodbye. On the way, when he saw that the first batch of gardenias in the garden had opened, Xianchen was not very happy, so he hurriedly asked Xiaoyuer to go back to get the red glazed porcelain bottle, and picked a few gardenias in the garden and inserted the bottle.

Xianchen hugged the vase and ran in with a smile, Xiao Yu'er hurriedly shouted: "Miss, slow down, demeanor ......" Xianchen heard this, remembering Mrs. Xiao's usual advice, he stopped and rearranged his steps before entering.

Mrs. Xiao was not busy reading the account books or listening to the mother-in-law as usual, but sat alone with a sad face, and Rose and Mama Qin, who was married, were cleaning up beside her.

Xianchen was blessed and said, "Mother, where are you going?" ”

When Mrs. Xiao saw her coming, she was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, and her frowning brows relaxed slightly: "Why did you come here at this time, although it is July, the sun is still poisonous." Rose stopped what she was doing, took the vase with a smile, and then said for Mrs. Xiao: "Madame is saying that the slave maid will go to see the third lady after packing up, and let you know, Xiao Guogong is sick, and he is worried about Madame, and Madame has to go back to her mother's house to serve the sick." ”

mentioned Mrs. Xiao's sadness again, Mrs. Xiao wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said: "That's right, although your sister-in-law is a little better, after all, the fetus has not yet sat down, and the affairs in this house can only be entrusted to you." ”

Xian Chen: "The mother is relieved to serve the sick, although the daughter is not smart, she can still support the gourd for a few days." My grandfather Ji Ren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely turn evil into good fortune, and his mother must take care of herself. ”

Mrs. Xiao looked at Xianchen with teary eyes, and didn't say anything after all, but just sat with Xianchen's hand for a long time. After his emotions stabilized a little, he slowly asked: "It has been six or seven days since the sacrifice of the Midyear Festival was handed over to you, can you arrange it properly?" ”

Xianchen ordered Xiao Yu'er to tell Mrs. Xiao the details one by one, and Mrs. Xiao nodded again and again: "I just want to experience you, but if it is not as good as I want, then I can leave for a few days with confidence." It's just the same, I have to entrust it to you, so I can rest assured. ”

"Mother, please speak."

"Your father has a straightforward temperament, and he is always angry with his colleagues, and he has a headache, but he has a child's temper and refuses to take medicine. You will have to supervise him well, and I will order Rose to give you the prescription later. ”

"I know that my father is afraid of hardship, so don't worry about leaving it to my daughter."

Mrs. Xiao nodded and said, "Your father loves you the most, I don't worry." I'll only take Mama Qin over, Rose will stay to help you, if you don't understand, ask her more. ”

"There's Sister Rose Lau." Slim Dust stepped forward and saluted Rose.

Rose panicked and hurriedly picked her up and said, "Third Miss, you have tormented the slave maid, you can only tell me if there is something." ”

Mrs. Xiao: "You little hoof rarely plays in front of me, in the past she called you 'sister', I saw that you were very useful, you only thought I was a fool and didn't know." ”

Rose blushed and nudged Slim Dust: "It's all you, what do you want me to do." Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere of Qinfangyuan finally came alive.

Xianchen accompanied Mrs. Xiao to talk and laugh for a while, and Mrs. Xiao gradually became warmer. After Mama Qin finished cleaning up, Mrs. Xiao gave another advice, and then took the carriage to the Guogong Mansion. Seeing the carriage disappear, Xian Chen and his party came in through the side door, and when they saw Rose's gloomy expression, they said, "Sister Rose, is there something to hide from me?" ”

Rose was depressed in her heart, and there was no one to say intimate words, so she looked around and saw no one else, and then whispered to Xian Chen: "The third lady doesn't know, I'm afraid that Lord Guogong will be ...... this time."

"It's so serious"

"No, Lord Guogong has a lot of mercy on a person, but unfortunately God has no mercy. What's even more regrettable is that the old lady has no children in her life, only two daughters, and the duke's position in the future will be inherited by the eldest son, but this is not close to our wife, and I want to come to the general's mansion in ......the future."

The old lady mentioned by Rose is naturally Xiao Guogong's original wife Mrs. Qin, she has no children in her life, Xiao Guogong favors the noble concubine Ye, and the Ye family gives birth to the eldest son, so she naturally often does not take Mrs. Qin in her eyes. The eldest son's name is Xiao Guying, and the words are not in vain. This Xiao Wubai is really a filial son, he has been trained by the Ye family since he was a child, and he has no opinions, and his biological mother's mind and wrist have not been learned.

Thinking that after Xiao Wubai inherited the title, although the Ye family could not surpass Mrs. Qin in terms of reputation, the Xiao family would inevitably look forward to her, and Mrs. Qin would not be able to take care of herself as before, and she could no longer take care of the Yan family as before...... Thinking of this, Xianchen can understand the mood of Mrs. Xiao for one or two.

"What about the mother's side?" Xian Chen asked Mrs. Xiao's sister, the current Majesty's Concubine Xiao.

Rose shook her head in confusion, signaling that Slim Dust should not be entangled in this. As the saying goes, "Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea", and if you want to come, Concubine Xiao is also like standing on the charcoal.

It is said that Mrs. Xiao has been gone for three days, and the daily affairs of the house are not wrong on the surface, but after all, Xian Chen is only a young lady with specifications, and she is the first housekeeper director. The maid and the little maid-in-law's house are uneven, and there are few people who want to "the cat is not at home, and the mouse goes to the house to reveal the tile".

For a time, gambling and drinking, fighting, laziness, and disobedience in the house...... All were born. It's just that Xiao Qiuwan has been raising the fetus, and Xianchen has met her vomiting faintly a few times, so she can't bear to tell her about this annoyance. It's just that he discussed it with Rose, and called everyone to one place to deal with them one by one.

The people who make trouble are all people who are in front of them and behind their backs, and who can reverse right and wrong with red mouths and white teeth, how can they be easy to deal with. Thinking about it, she is used to making trouble with villains in the mansion, and no one is afraid of her. Another thing, she is not very familiar with the affairs of the house, and everyone only thinks that she is a soft persimmon to pinch.
