Situ was busy in the old lady's room for a long time, and after serving the old lady to eat, he went back to the room to eat. As soon as she returned to her room, Situ's face darkened, and the big girl who served her meal was scolded by her for finding the wrong place, and then deducted two months' monthly money.

After not eating much lunch, he was withdrawn, and Situ's anger had not yet subsided, holding a cup of tea, his face was unpredictable. My thoughts involuntarily thought of the matter of Chen Gui Dading (note), and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and the things that the old lady had brought up openly and secretly in the past two days made my heart even more depressed. Because of Chen Gui's decision, the He Tian family, who took over a lot of such oil and water matters, wanted to seize the opportunity of Situ's meal and rest.

Through the little maid's report, He Tian's family entered the house, and immediately saw Situ's gloomy face like the bottom of the pot, and then thought of the things that Situ vaguely mentioned before, so he hurriedly went to offer courtesy and said, "Madam, what's wrong?" This anger is sad, now the affairs of the Manfu are all taken care of by the lady alone, and it should be well maintained, why are you so angry? Even if the people below don't serve well, if they are sent away, why bother with them. Besides, the eldest young master's family affairs have to be presided over by Mrs. ”

Situ sighed and said, "If only the people below are still here." As he spoke, he pointed his hand to the old lady's yard, and said angrily: "I don't understand, you see how good it is to enjoy the old age, and you have been dominating the inner account and not handing it over to me." Even if you don't talk about it, the three girls are the biological daughters of the old lady, and our Gui'er is not the eldest grandson of her in-laws, not to mention that Gui'er still grew up in front of the old lady, and now she has a chance, and Gui'er is very likely to be a jinshi after the spring of next year. Not to mention these, he is determined to do such a thing, and it is understandable to take a few things that can save face, but you look at the old lady's attitude, she has to hold on to the good things in her hand, even if she asks for good things, it will take a long time to get them. But don't you see that the third girl is pregnant, and this good thing is like flowing water to the third girl's house, what do you say this is called a thing? The old lady who said this is called an eccentricity, but it is not unreasonable, after all, the third girl is the daughter of the old lady's in-laws, and it is because of this girl that the old lady hurt her body at that time, and she is just such a baby pimple for the rest of her life. And the three girls rarely come back once a year after they get married, and it's strange that the old lady doesn't hurt her.

Situ's side of the henchman accompanying the room of He Tian's family chattered about the old lady's partiality, and He Tian's family slandered such things in her heart, she didn't hear Situ say that she used to dislike the old lady for favoring Chen Lan, the second lady, but an old lady once said that this concubine was very similar to the previous third lady, that is, Chen Yu, so she won the favor of the old lady. She didn't tell Situ about such a reason, after all, the old lady didn't have a long time to live. Although the house says that Mrs. is kind and generous, this is just for outsiders to see, what kind of person Situ is, she is the most clear companion. I think that when Situ first got married, even if the foundation was unstable, he could find all kinds of reasons to drive away the previous old man Chen's roommate, even later, in order to show her virtuous generosity, the people who opened the face to the old man were not only pointed out by the old lady, but also in the companion maid brought by Situ. If it weren't for the fate that she didn't want to be a concubine to escape at that time, if it weren't for this, how could there be a capable person in front of the current lady, how could it be better than those aunts. But even so, the deed of her family is pinched in Situ's hands, whether she wants it or not, she has to be loyal to Situ's, her family is branded as Situ's, and is regarded as Situ's henchman, so Situ's is not very taboo and concealed in front of her.

After saying this, Situ also felt that he was a little out of shape, and took a sip of the teacup in his hand. She was angry, she was angry not only because she was worried about the gift list that the old lady gave to Chen Yu and the gift list for her son Chen Gui, but also because the old lady wanted to give Chen Lan, that is, Situ's second son, the sick medicine jar that Chen Yu was born to. She once thought that if it weren't for the big difference between Gui'er's age and the sick seedling, maybe the old lady would still give the sick seedling to Gui'er. Although the old lady said a lot about the benefits of marrying her uncle's family, Situ didn't believe them, and even sneered at them. But if it was really the old lady who insisted, she would certainly not be able to object. But fortunately, Lan'er is not yet ten years old, and there is still time to think about it, except for the reason of the third girl, she can't let her Lan'er marry a sick seedling into the door as a wife.

As for the benefits that the old lady said, Situ couldn't understand it at all. In her opinion, her uncle is a third-grade high-ranking official, but her family is also a third-grade high-ranking official. If she marries high and marries low, she still understands it, but if Gui'er's daughter-in-law status is not as high as the second son's daughter-in-law, the housekeeper will be in trouble. Therefore, based on this consideration, Situ was extremely reluctant to think like the old lady.

However, although the Situ family has no talent, and although the power of the mother's family is large, it really has nothing to do with their case. Therefore, Situ Shi tried his best to climb the high branches and thighs of Situ Sheng, even if she could not get many benefits, but it could make her identity more consolidated. So this old lady has such an idea, and Situ is not completely out of the way to mess up.

Just thinking of the old lady, Situ was full of headaches, she knew that the old lady didn't like her daughter-in-law very much. In Situ's opinion, it was all because of Chen Yu's relationship, otherwise how could the old lady not like her. So later, when the old lady was old, and her sons had already married wives and had children, it was not good to manage everything anymore, and she had to hand over the rights of the housekeeper to the eldest daughter-in-law, but the old lady always held the inner account in her hands. Therefore, Situ's perception of the old lady will become worse and worse, but her housekeeper and the old lady will cause her trouble everywhere and restrain her in some aspects. And she frequently interferes in the master's affairs, and now the aunt that Situ hates the most is the old lady who points it to the master, otherwise she will not be unpopular with the master. Even if the old man is not a person who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, otherwise, if the old lady connives, maybe her status as a wife will be shaken, not to mention the power of the housekeeper. The other second room is not a good thing, but fortunately it has long been separated.

Situ sighed, and felt more and more that if he could climb the thighs of Situ Sheng's family, not only would Gui'er be able to get support, but the old lady would also have to let her have a few points, so that all the problems could be solved, instead of being troubled by himself now and being wronged everywhere.

He Tian's family stood there motionless as if they were pillars, and even the sound of breathing was lightened, for fear that they would touch Situ's moldy head and innocently be fined monthly money or other punishments. She knows Situ too well, she is stubborn and self-serving, her ears are soft, and she is especially greedy for money. Not to mention that the housekeeper has made money from the public as a private house over the years, not to mention that he has paid attention to the internal account of the house. The following Zhuangzi and the shop are not as good as before, but the expenses inside and outside the house are much more, and the Situ family's greedy money makes sometimes the books stretched. This is the reason why Situ is desperate to get the internal account, and as far as he knows, Mrs. is still playing the old lady's private idea. Not to mention that the old lady's maiden family is more prominent than the current Chen Mansion, and the old lady has been a housekeeper for decades from her granddaughter-in-law to the old lady. And the old lady's ability is not comparable to Situ's, and Situ guesses that most of the property in the house is under the control of the internal account, so the old lady's private house must be there, and the amount of money is eye-catching. Therefore, Situ had long felt that the old lady's private room belonged to her in the future, so it was strange that the old lady gave Chen Yu the good things in the private room as if she didn't want money. It's like a duck in your beak and you vomit blood and find that it's missing two duck legs.

He Tian's family thought like this, and Situ also had her thoughts, and for a while the room was quiet, leaving only the breathing sound of the master and servant. After that, I didn't know what Situ said to He Tian's family, He Tian's family's face was not very good after he went out, but Situ's changed his previous depression and calmed down a lot.

Even if she curses the old lady for not living long, so what, the old lady's health is good, and the three girls who don't like it are pregnant again, maybe they can have another son, and those aunts still find opportunities to stumble on her and block themselves. She just can't do what you want, see who can have the last laugh and laugh better!

Not to mention this, Li Sheng has almost dealt with the affairs of going to Beijing and is about to return, and his mother has written to hope that they can return to Gusu City before the New Year. Therefore, when I returned, I could not take a boat, but I had to ride back. That's why Li Yu went to Tang's house to say goodbye to Puyu's family.

"Puyu, I can't bear you!" Although he is reluctant, he has never been away from home for the New Year in the past ten years, so this time will not be an exception, and he is really homesick after being away from home for so many days. However, the journey is still relatively pleasant, and it is worth it to make friends with Puyu and get a lot of interesting things to broaden your horizons.

"Brother Yu, I can't bear you!" Puyu wanted to pat Li Yu's shoulder as encouragement, but Li Yu was much taller than him, so he had to pat on someone's waist. The angry child flattened his mouth, and comforted himself in his heart that the master was still young, and he would definitely be taller than Li Yu in the future! "Have a nice trip!"

"Thank you, but we can meet again next year, and I'll come to play with you then." He is going to participate in Chunqiu, although he is the head of the case in Gusu, but there are so many talented people in the world, and he knows very well where his ability is. In addition, there are two friends with you, so naturally you will not be lonely. I was relieved to think that I would be able to meet Puyu when the time came, "Puyu, when the time comes, I will introduce my two good friends to you!" ”

Two good friends = two moving purses = a lot of silver = very good and happy, Puyu nodded with bent eyebrows, "Brother Yu, let's say okay, you can't go back!" ”

Li Yu nodded, and then left after saying a few words to Tang Baiyu, they naturally couldn't delay returning to Gusu City before twenty. If he knew that Puyu was thinking like that, would he shout that he was unladylike! Hehe, that's for the future, anyway, Puyu is quite happy now, because he has a little uncle with money to exploit.

Although Situ Jue was unconvinced on the face, he had already admitted Tang Anqing's family in his heart, and he still liked Erbao the most, because Erbao's eyes were exactly the same as Situ Jin, and Erbao was slightly inferior to Puyu because of his age, and he was more cute and exquisite. In addition, he did not reject Tang Baiyu from the beginning, so he had a good relationship with Tang Baiyu. For Puyu, he also likes it tightly and loves him as a younger brother. But the feeling for Tang Anqing is the most complicated, to say that pretending to be Tang Anqing outside is the best one, but her gentleness is not a fake, because the original meaning of spiritual power is that the affinity on her body is particularly strong, and after staying by her side for a long time, she will feel comfortable, and her whole body is comfortable, which makes people can't help but get closer, which is also the crux of the problem. There is no hostess in Situ's mansion, and the maid will not overstep the rules, so for the gentle and elegant Tang Anqing, Situ Jue definitely can't hate it. What's more, because of Situ Jin's relationship, even if Tang Anqing doesn't treat Situ Jue like he treats Situ Jin, as long as he is a little sincere, he can't refuse it, and this way is very gentle, that's what 'boiled frogs in warm water' says.

So on the one hand, Situ Jue thinks that Tang Anqing has stolen Situ Jin's attention and favor, but now it seems that Situ Jin still treats him as always, so his attitude will soften, and he will like Tang Anqing, who is not hated in the first place. My sister won't feel awkward when she screams, and the change in a few days is huge, and it's just a thought if you don't hate it to like it.
