Chapter 8 Mother-in-law Zhou

Seeing that the maid in the micro courtyard opened the courtyard door early in the morning, she saw that the eldest lady was already standing outside.

The maid wondered in her heart, this eldest lady seemed to have been here yesterday, why did she come here again today? According to common sense, the ladies in the courtyard can ask for peace once every three days, but I have never seen the eldest lady come to ask for peace before!

Qing smiled lightly and went straight to the main hall to say goodbye.

The old lady was still the same, didn't say anything, let her sit on the side, and the maid beside her brought her a cup of tea.

"You went to the courtyard of Qingyuan yesterday?" After a long time, the old lady spoke.

Qing Qian nodded, and the old lady hummed and continued: "It would be good if your sisters were harmonious in the future, but I guess there should be something to do if you ask for peace for two days in a row." ”

The old lady is worthy of being an old lady, and she naturally can't hide it, so she directly told her what happened last night.

The old lady said lightly: "In a few days, there will be a maid into the house, if you want to pick a maid to talk to your mother, I will not take care of it, as for the few maids who have been driven out, I will not let them fool in the yard." ”

"Thank you, old lady." Bow lightly, this sentence is enough.

These maids estimated that after being kicked out by her, they would not simply go to other courtyards, eighty percent of them would bite her hard, she couldn't pull out their teeth, so she could only make all preparations first.

Just about to retire, a slightly older grandmother came in, dressed in a costume and looking inside the micro courtyard, followed by five maids in the shallow courtyard, crying and shouting the old lady.

It was really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, but Qing Qian didn't want to leave so early, but stood in place and waited for those maids to come in.

Mama Qian's face was a little gloomy, obviously she didn't want to help the little girls in the back, to be honest, she was just a mama in charge, and she generally had nothing to do with the eldest lady, and she didn't want to mess with the eldest lady, if someone promised her benefits, otherwise she wouldn't come forward even if these maids smashed her door.

Looking up, I saw that there was already a girl standing in the main hall, Mama Qian didn't think much about it, she came to see the micro courtyard so early, either the second miss or the third lady.

When she took a few steps forward, her eyes glanced to the side slightly, and her whole heart was completely lifted.

The few maids in the back who don't have long eyes are still crying and calling their mother, if they can, Mama Qian really wants to stuff them into the stable one by one to shovel horse manure!

The masters of the people are still standing here with the old lady, and she still has the right to speak? Aren't these maids blind and want her to come over this morning?

The changes in her face were all in her shallow eyes, she pursed her lips, this grandmother is also interesting, but the few maids behind her are still endless.

The old lady has already made her words clear, so she doesn't need to mix blindly.

"Shallow girl, if it's okay, you can go out first."

"Yes." Qing Qianqing saluted in response, and turned to stare at the maids.

The maids were crying vigorously, and suddenly choked in their throats with a pair of beautiful eyes, unable to vomit for a long time, and almost fainted.

"Little ...... Miss. A few maids shuddered.

Peony sneered, these little hooves simply deserve it, what waves can they afford in front of the old lady.

Mama Qian's face also sank, she looked like she hated iron but not steel, she had just seen her master, and the other party didn't say a word about these maids' legs and softened early, and yesterday they talked about their plan so vigorously, but it turned out to be on paper.

Out of the micro courtyard, Peony asked, "Miss, where are we going now?" ”

She thought for a moment and said, "Qiongyu Academy." ”

After the ban was lifted in the past two days, she directly forgot about going to see her mother, and she also went to see the old lady twice very quickly, as Gu's mother-in-law, Zhou's eyeliner in the mansion is quite a lot, and her every move in the past few days should be watched by her.

She should be close to her mother, and she can't say that she has been going to the old lady's side in the past two days, and besides, it's time to go over and have a look, and she has to discuss the matter of the maid in Luomei Pavilion.

After about a stick of incense, I arrived at Qiongyu Temple. The location of Qiongyu Pavilion is close to the courtyard of Master Gu, the yard is not very large but quite exquisite, the bluestone slab bricks under the feet are all seamlessly stacked together with bricks of the same size, the white wall outside the courtyard is encircled, the entrance is a zigzag verandah, at the end of the verandah is two attics standing by the water, and there are two maids standing outside the door.

Seeing that she came almost without hindrance, the maid saluted and let her in, the layout of Zhou's house was much more expensive than the old lady's room, and what caught her eye was a hundred beasts and ten thousand blessings incense burner inlaid with emeralds.

raised his eyes to look, but saw a bejeweled woman leaning on the soft collapse with an account book in her hand, and when she saw her coming, she put down her face and said, "What? Finally free? ”

Peony said that although the Zhou family was a little arrogant, he was still very gentle with her, so although he looked at her with a stiff face, he leaned over and said, "Mother, originally after the grandmother lifted the grounding, Qingqian should have come to see you immediately, but because of the previous incident of aloe vera, she went to the third sister's yard, so she came a little late." ”

Seeing her leaning over affectionately, the expression on Zhou's face softened, and he let the maid next to him serve tea, and he picked up the teacup in front of the table and said calmly: "I already know what happened before, and you can be considered clever enough to escape the catastrophe, but when you pushed the second girl into the water before, it will be broken?" ”

Qing Qian was speechless, she didn't do this, she naturally didn't carry this pot, Zhou put down the teacup and said: "The second girl is not as stupid as you think, I'm afraid it was just a show before, I have been pleasing the old man and the old lady all this time, you should be careful in the future." ”

Zhou saw through this matter, I thought that Gu Qingqian was a stunned person, and most of his mother was half a catty, but he didn't expect that Zhou was also quite shrewd, and smiled bitterly, I am afraid that his life is not as good as he imagined.

All the novels I read before were fake, and she casually walked on the so-called peak of life, and she volunteered not to die without a place to be buried.

"Your age is not too young," Zhou's brows furrowed slightly, "There are some things you have to understand in your heart, I will help you go to see the sons of various families when I have time, and your temperament should be a little more restrained, otherwise I am afraid that it is not as good as the second girl to marry." ”

"Qing Qian understands," she has a headache, "it's just those maids in the yard......"

Zhou Shi turned his gaze back to the account book and said, "This is the matter for you to go to the old lady's side today, but the old woman has always been at odds with me, and it is strange to help you solve this matter this time." As for the maid's time, tomorrow I will let the maid into the house, you can choose a few maids at will, this matter is not a big problem, but in three days your brother will come back, five days later, the birthday of the concubine, you better prepare. ”

She nodded, but she didn't really know what Zhou meant by preparation, she had never seen her brother, and she didn't know what her temper was, so she didn't want to care too much, and asked Qingqian This maid also talked about Gu Huaijin's general identity, and the specific things This maid kept silent.

I guess this brother is not good, she should meet and talk about it.

As for the birthday of the concubine, she still carefully asked the preferences of the Zhou concubine, and when the time comes, she will always give gifts to the palace to congratulate her, although she has no intention of getting too close to the people in the palace, but it is still necessary to build a good relationship.

Zhou thought for a while and said: "The concubine doesn't have any special preferences, the gold nuggets and beads are the most in the royal family, and they can't be looked at when they are sent." If you want to eat something, you can pick up some light food and send it. Then there is the painting and calligraphy of things, but a few days ago the emperor rewarded a pair of snow posts when the sun is fast and can not be compared with the emperor, if you are interested in it is better to look at the rouge gouache or folk toys and other novelty items to send. ”

She nodded, and Zhou sighed softly and instructed her a few more words before letting Mama send her away.

I have to say that Zhou is a competent mother, thinking as she walks.

Regarding the matter of gift-giving, she was a little eyebrows, she didn't plan to give gold and silver jewelry and the like, Gu Qingqian's dressing box was full of a lot of jewelry, and she put it all under the bed in a small box so that she could take it out and pawn it when she lacked silver in the future. She doesn't know much about painting and the like, but Wang Xizhi's snow post still knows about it, so don't you want to crush the emperor when she sends this kind of thing? As for eating, she made some light snacks and sent them, but this was still too thin.

She remembered the half of the aloe vera in the yard.

The aloe vera in her house grew well, and when the peony was pulled out to make this plant grow stronger, she wanted to pick a few branches and cut them into the soil to try if they could take root, but the success rate was not high, and she only had this aloe vera and it was not good to try decisively.

It's a good idea to make aloe vera gel out of aloe vera as a gift.

The making of aloe vera gel is not particularly troublesome, she used to make it herself at home, and the things used are estimated to be available in the kitchen, and it is quite easy to make a simple box of aloe vera gel.

Because she was going to choose a maid tomorrow, and her brother would come back, and it would be the concubine's birthday in a few days, and the time behind was full, only there was some time left this afternoon, so she thought about it and asked Peony to go to the kitchen to get something.

It's just that she seems to have forgotten to mention the account book with the Zhou family, and she seems to have heard that the Wang family divided the account book of the Zhou family for a while, but this time she saw it without the slightest worry about the account book, which is strange, she still wants to ask the maid of Qiongyu Courtyard if she is free.
