Cui's was upset and eating tea, and heard that the second grandmother on the other side of the second room personally taught the cook to fry plum dried vegetables and meat cakes, which attracted everyone in the house to watch, and it was very lively.

She didn't think so, the nobles of the Houmen in the capital are all delicate flowers irrigated with golden soup and jade dew, and their fingers don't touch the spring water, otherwise what is the difference between them and these maids?

The second grandmother said that she married into the Shen family from the Liang Guogong Mansion, but in fact, it was just the appearance, look, she can go into the kitchen to wash her hands and make soup, where can she be noble.

Just thinking in the dark, I heard the voice of a maid in the courtyard: "Sister Meiyun can you be in the house?" Meiyun sat on the pestle to make needles, and hurriedly got up and lifted the curtain to look, looking familiar and unfamiliar, carrying a food box with red lacquer painted crocus on her elbow, and asked her: "Who are you, what is the matter with me?" ”

The maid said: "I'm Cuixiang, the second grandmother fried a lot of plum vegetables and meatloaf today, and sent me to send some to the third grandmother to try." As he spoke, he lowered his head and lifted the lid of the box and brought out a plate of hot meatloaf.

Meiyun greeted and took it, asked her to wait for a while, and then went into the room again to greet Cui's, Cui's called to bring her in, Cuixiang entered the room and respectfully asked Ann, and listened to Cui's ask: "This meatloaf is indeed fried by the second grandmother herself?" ”

Cuixiang replied: "That's right, the second grandmother has been busy for half a day." ”

Cui Shi sneered: "Lie and don't make drafts, didn't the second grandmother go to the women's school today, how can she have time to fry any meatloaf?" ”

Cuixiang said: "The second grandmother accompanied Sister Li to the girls' school, and when Shen Shi returned to the house, she went directly into the kitchen to work, and never rested for a moment. ”

"I haven't said anything yet, what are you anxious about!" Cui Shi looked back at Meiyun: "You can also learn a little, look at the girls know how to be loyal to the Lord!" ”

Mei Yun said "yes" in a low voice, and Cui Xiang smiled lightly: "The third grandmother is serious, this has nothing to do with being loyal to the Lord, it's just telling the truth." ”

She leaned over again and said goodbye: "I still have to send meatloaf to the eldest grandmother, if the third grandmother has no orders, the slave and maid will go first." ”

Cui Shi looked at her for a while, and then said, "Go back and thank the second grandmother for me." Ordered Meiyun to give her a few hundred rewards, and seeing her calmly accepting the money into her sleeve, she picked up the food box and sent it out by a little girl.

When there was no one around, Meiyun smelled the aroma of the meatloaf, Guan Cui's was indifferent, and couldn't help asking, "Grandma doesn't want to taste one?" ”

"Whoever wants to eat one, it's greasy." Cui's face was full of disdain, and asked her to take it to share the girl's food, Meiyun was secretly happy in her heart, picked up the plate and turned to leave, only to lift the curtain, and heard Cui's shout: "You come back, I still have something to say." Meiyun had to come back again, and heard her say: "Yingge wants to go back with her brother and sister-in-law, I always feel strange, I remember when the second master got married, I once mentioned to her, to serve Mrs. well, after March and May, find an opportunity to put her in the house (note: refers to the transfer to the concubine room), she was overjoyed after hearing it, how could she be willing to beg?" ”

Meiyun thought about it and said: "In this way, her sister-in-law was a little abnormal that day, as long as she sold her deed, I told her that the third grandmother was kind, and she would give five taels of silver and two pieces of silk, she generously gave it up, and only said that the second master gave two pieces of silver." ”

Cui Shi was stunned when he heard it, and only after a while did he whisper: "You go out of the house tomorrow and ask Yingge if she left the house voluntarily, or did the second grandmother force her to leave?" “

Meiyun was a little incredulous: "The second grandmother has just entered the door, so it shouldn't be like this." ”

"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts." Cui's face was cold and said: "This second grandmother will come to trouble, look at the second master is fascinated, she is a means, and it is better to lift her shoes than ......... Mengsheng before."

Before the words fell, a maid outside said back: "Mr. Cui, the leader of Steward Zhao, has come in." “

"It's so late, what are they doing?" Cui ordered them to come in, only to hear the sound of footsteps, Steward Zhao lifted the curtain and entered the house, bowing to her, her face was solemn, and her eyes were blazing.

Zhao Yang is the chief steward of the Shen Mansion, and he is deeply valued by the old lady, and the Cui family does not dare to make a mistake, so he ordered Meiyun to pour tea, and asked with a smile: "Steward Zhao came here for some reason?" He looked behind him again: "Mr. Cui came with you, where is the other?" “

Zhao Yang sat with his robe on, without a smile, and only said in a deep voice: "I asked Mr. Cui to wait outside, there is something to be special about, as for how to deal with the third grandmother, listen to it!" “

Cui's heart jumped up inexplicably, and she had a very bad premonition.

.............................

When Cui Dingliang entered the room, he passed by Zhao Yang, and saw Cui Shi sitting at the table with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes down, not knowing what to think anymore, and the handkerchief in his hand was clenched tightly.

Meiyun poured him tea and quickly retreated.

Cui Dingliang took a bite of the lamp, it was the best Lu'an melon slices, with a little fireworks flavor, but it was the most relaxing.

His face was full of anger, and he said in a rough voice: "Let me tell you, if the female brother named Tian Jiang still comes to study, I won't teach." It's so deceitful! ”

Cui Shi looked up at him violently, and asked with a blue face: "In the past two years, you haven't even finished teaching "Xunmeng Pun Sentences", and you don't teach seriously all day long, and only care about having fun for yourself, but is it all true?" ”

Cui Dingliang took another sip of tea and repeated the concept of "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", and only took it for granted.

Cui Shi was so angry that his whole body softened, and he said in a trembling voice: "I respect you as an elder, and it is inconvenient to say that you are angry, the second master donated silver to set up a school and a women's school, but it is not for you, the Buddha." “

"At the beginning, Mr. Ye of the school was personally invited by the second master, the female school here, my mother twice and three times to carry the letter to me, only to say that you are full of wealth but useless, all day long at home to live on her help, let me find something to do for you, only then did I have a cheeky face to recommend to the old lady, you got this place to teach, here, for you tea, for your meal, there is an eaves to lie on, a good bed, such as silver every month thunder can not be moved to you, in addition to the student bundle can be collected, every festival, where there is good food, good clothing and easy use, also from you a lot."

"You see that Mr. Ye is full of wealth, diligent teaching, and has a very good reputation among the children of the clan, and even when he heard about it outside, he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother that he wanted to enter the school to study, and I wondered how the women's school here could not make waves like the stagnant water in the pool, and I always thought that you were also born in Jinshi, how could it be difficult to teach more than a dozen Mengtong, so I turned a blind eye and didn't care, who knew that you were fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and you had no intention of teaching."

The more she talked, the more distressed she became, and she paused and said with red eyes: "You don't think about others, but Shen Yan is your granddaughter, how can you cheat her for more than two years." What's more, since you despise the female school, and come to covet this money, I will be killed by you this time, and you will not gain much. ”

Cui Dingliang's wishful thinking when he came was to drive Tian Jiang out of the women's school, and asked Cui's to ask for some silver taels by the way, but he hadn't seen the prostitute in Jinchun Courtyard for several days.

I want to be ridiculed by her in every way since I came in, and I am unhappy in my heart.
