Shen Xiu walked out of Mrs. Cheng's courtyard quickly, and saw Li Yingluo standing in the corner.

"Thank goodness you're okay." Li Yingluo said with palpitations.

Shen Xiu walked over quickly and said, "Why did you come here, you were seen by your wife, be careful and punish you too." ”

"I'm worried about you." Li Yingluo said, "Uncle has just gone out, if the situation is not right, I will let the little guy chase him back." ”

"Don't." Shen Xiu said, "If I let my wife and uncle fall out of harmony, then I will be a sinner through the ages." ”

Now Mrs. Cheng can't wait to strangle her, if she makes another fuss, she will really poison her secretly.

"But Mrs. ......," Li Yingluo stopped talking.

Generally speaking, after a woman gets married, she will go to her mother's family. Like Mrs. Cheng, she is the only one who abuses her niece like this.

If it weren't for Cheng Shaomu's soft spot for Shen Xiu and his constant protection of Shen Xiu, Shen Xiu's fate would definitely be ten times worse than now.

Shen Xiu patted Li Yingluo's hand and said, "If my wife hadn't brought me out of the workshop, my result would have been even worse." ”

Li Yingluo was speechless for a moment.

The two of them hurried back to Tingfeng Xuan, and they tossed like this. In addition, Mrs. Tao has not left yet, in case Mrs. Cheng summons again, neither of them has the idea of going out for a walk.

simply went to the hugging building behind Tingfeng Xuan's main room and sat down, Shen Xiu made tea, and the two sat and drank tea.

"I heard my grandfather say that the Tao family is not as good as before." Li Yingluo whispered, "It looks quite beautiful outside, but in fact, they have separated, but they still live together." ”

Speaking of the Tao family, it is also a big family in Qingyang.

There are people in the five generations, Cheng Shaomu's betrothed object, Tao Da Girl's grandfather official to the Ministry of Shangshu, and her father is also a two-list jinshi, and he is released to the prefect.

Ten years ago, when the two families were engaged, the Tao family was prosperous. But ten years later, Mrs. Tao's grandfather passed away, and so did her father.

According to what Steward Li said, there is only an empty shelf left now, and it is good if this family business is withdrawn.

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and in the future, when the grandmother enters the door, we still have to wait well." Shen Xiu said.

Li Yingluo asked curiously: "Mrs. Tao suddenly wants to see you, what did she say?" ”

"Say I'm very good, Miss Tao is very tolerant, and she will definitely treat me well." Shen Xiu said truthfully.

"Huh?" The expression on Li Yingluo's face was unpredictable, and she was silent for a long time.

As the granddaughter of the big housekeeper, her aunt is also an aunt. There are also many things about the back house.

When the mother-in-law says such things to the son-in-law's concubine, either the mother-in-law is crazy or the son-in-law is crazy.

Most likely, the son-in-law went crazy and didn't know what he said outside, which stimulated the mother-in-law to go crazy.

Shen Xiu said: "Thinking about the age of Miss Tao, the Tao family can't afford to retreat from this family." ”

As Li Yingluo said just now, the Tao family only has empty shelves. The more this is the case, the more you have to endure it.

With the current Pingyuan Hou Mansion, after Cheng Shaomu retired from his family, some of them were selected by Miss Qianjin. What about Miss Tao, can you find someone to marry?

Therefore, no matter what Cheng Shaomu said or did, how intolerable it was. The Tao family has to endure it, and people will marry first.

When the Tao girl entered the door and became the master's mother, it was very easy to fiddle with a girl from an official slave.

"If you can endure like this, you will have a hard time in the future." Li Yingluo couldn't help but say.

Shen Xiu was silent and drank tea silently.

In the future......

Being an aunt to Cheng Shaomu is her only future?

The two chatted until noon, and when it was almost lunch time, a mother-in-law quietly came to report: "Mrs. Tao is gone." ”

"Finally gone." Li Yingluo said, but the worry on her face did not decrease.

The foreign guests sent them away, and I don't know if they will find trouble with Shen Xiu.

Cheng Shaomu is not there, and he is always insecure.

"At this time, it seems that Mrs. Tao is not very kind to see Mrs. Tao." Shen Xiu said.

It's all this time, if Mrs. Cheng takes a fancy to this in-law, she will definitely stay for dinner.

But Mrs. Tao, dragging Mrs. Cheng to talk until now, should want to stay for dinner.

It's not about how the meal went, but about hoping that the in-laws would get closer to each other. The Tao family is down, so they have to tie up their in-laws.

Since Mrs. Cheng doesn't look down on this in-law, her crisis has passed.

Li Yingluo said a little sarcastically: "The Tao family has fallen like that, and my wife looks weird." ”

Shen Xiu didn't answer, and said, "It's time to eat, let's go over too." ”

The master's meal was delivered by the kitchen person, and the next person did not have this treatment, so he had to go to the kitchen to get the food.

Of course, as a big girl, you can support the little girl to get food.

"It's rare that the uncle is not here, and today we will be the masters." Li Yingluo said with a smile, and then instructed the little girl: "Bring me and Shen Xiufan." ”

"Yes." The little girl hurriedly responded and called her companion to go to the kitchen together.

Li Yingluo and Shen Xiu got up to eat in the east wing, which was where the girls ate. Red sleeves and Tian Xiang are already there, waiting for the little girl to bring the food. There are also two little girls, busy cleaning up the table.

After a while, the little girl brought lunch in a food box.

The girl's meals are all made according to the head, the rice is eaten as you like, the third-class girl has one dish, the second-class girl has two dishes, and the big girl has three dishes.

There are three kinds of dishes in total, each of which is stir-fried in a large pot, and each person is prepared according to the portion.

"It's the kitchen honoring my sisters." The little girl said with a smile, bringing out a big bowl of soup from the food box.

The soup is not in the meal, it is considered to be a kitchen honor. But it's an unwritten convention every day.

"Today's soup is good." Li Yingluo said, "I'll talk to the kitchen later, I'm going to drink tea in the afternoon, and let them make refreshments and bring them over." ”

Her grandfather was the butler, although he couldn't order food openly. But the kitchen is filial piety to the bowl of soup, and occasionally she asks for a refreshment, which is not excessive.

"Yes, I'll tell my sisters when they finish eating and deliver lunch boxes." The little girl said with a smile.

Shen Xiu said: "Let's all sit down and eat." ”

Everyone sat down to eat, Cheng Shaomu was not there, and everyone was relaxed.

After the meal, the little girls cleaned up, and Red Sleeves said to Shen Xiu with a smile: "Good sister, Tian Xiang and I want to go home and have a look, and come back tomorrow." ”

Cheng Shaomu is not here, and the girls want to be lazy.

The difference is that Shen Xiu and Li Yingluo can go out if they want to, they are second-class girls, so they have to agree with Shen Xiu or Li Yingluo.

Shen Xiu is easy to speak, and most of the things in the house will be agreed to when she asks for them.

Shen Xiu smiled indifferently and said, "Go quietly, don't alarm the steward." ”

"Yes, sister, don't worry." Redsleeves said with a smile.

With permission, Redsleeves and Tim Xiang went home. Shen Xiu and Li Yingluo also turned their heads to hug Xia, and continued to drink tea and chat.

In the middle of the afternoon, the anxious voice of the little girl suddenly came from outside: "Is Sister Shen Xiu in the house?" ”

Shen Xiu and Li Yingluo glanced at each other, although they were worried that it was Mrs. Cheng who summoned them, they had to get up to greet them.

"What's the matter?" Li Yingluo lifted the curtain and came out, blocking Shen Xiu behind her.

I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl standing in the courtyard, who was the maid companion of Cheng Erniang, the second lady of the Plains Hou Mansion.

When the companion saw Shen Xiu, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister, help." ”

"What's going on, you say slowly." Shen Xiu asked.

She often reads medical books and knows a little about the art of Qihuang. It is difficult for women to seek medical treatment, and it is even more difficult for Yahuan to seek medical treatment.

Originally, he was just treating himself, but later he heard that Fengxuan's girl was sick and looked for her. Later, if any of the girls in the house were sick, they all came to see her.

The companion suddenly begged her for help, and she should have come to seek medical treatment from her.

"It's the second miss, since last night, I have been complaining about stomach pain, until now." The companion said with an anxious face, "Please also ask my sister to take a look." ”

"Second Miss?" Shen Xiu was surprised and said, "Second Miss is sick, why don't you ask a doctor." ”

The girl came to her to be self-taught because she couldn't afford to hire a doctor.

Besides, it's inconvenient, the doctor is a man, so it's not as convenient as a female doctor.

But now that the young lady is sick, it is a serious matter to ask the steward to ask for a doctor.

"Yesterday, the steward went to invite him." The companion cried as she spoke, "But until now, I haven't seen the doctor coming." I'm afraid it's ......"

I'm afraid that Mrs. Cheng won't invite you.

Li Yingluo said: "Then go to the master, it's about the second lady, if a good one comes, you can't afford it." ”

"The lord is not in the house." The companion wiped her tears while crying, looked at Shen Xiu and said, "Sister, help." ”

Shen Xiu was a little hesitant, Li Yingluo knew that she was soft-hearted, but she couldn't help patting her hand and signaling her to leave it alone.

The population of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion is simple, the old lady and the old lady are gone, and the house has long been divided.

Mrs. Cheng is in charge of the house, and the Marquis of Pingyuan has a son-in-law, a concubine, a daughter-in-law, and a concubine. The second lady of the companion's master, is the concubine born to Aunt Zhang, who is sixteen years old this year.

Aunt Zhang and Cheng Erniang, the mother and daughter, are the thorns in Mrs. Cheng's eyes.

Pingyuan Hou is not in the mansion, and the doctor doesn't invite him, this is to wait for Cheng Erniang to die. It's better to leave this kind of idle business alone.

"Ask my sister to save the second miss." Seeing this, Ban'er knelt down, hugged Shen Xiu's thigh, and begged bitterly: "If my sister doesn't save her, the second lady is afraid that she will die." ”

"This ......" Shen Xiu frowned.

She's just self-taught, and it's okay to see some minor problems, but it's a terrible illness, and she can't either.

Li Yingluo said: "If the second miss is so sick, it's useless for you to beg her." It's better to go to the front to find the steward, and tell them well, if the second lady has a good one, they can't afford it. ”

Although Aunt Zhang has long fallen out of favor, Cheng Erniang is always Pingyuanhou's biological daughter, if she is seriously ill and delayed, it is not easy to explain the matter.

"I've looked for it, but it's useless." The companion cried and said, looked at Shen Xiu and said, "I really have no choice but to ask my sister to beg my sister, and I ask my sister to be merciful." When the second lady recovers from her illness, she should be grateful. ”

"Alas......" Shen Xiu couldn't help sighing, Cheng Erniang couldn't protect herself, and she couldn't give any thanks.

But...... Let her see death and not save her, and she can't be ruthless.

"Don't cry, take me there."
