Cuimei brought the copper basin water and lifted the curtain in, and said a little nervously: "Mama Lu came to invite Madame, and went to the old lady's room in half an hour." “

Tian Jiang stretched his waist lazily, put his shoes on the ground, and let Cairong serve and dress, and smiled: "What are you panicking, and you haven't done anything wrong." “

Cuimei frowned and said in a low voice: "I stuffed a few hundred dollars from Mama Lu, she said that the old lady was solemn in the morning, her tone was cold, and she seemed to be extremely unhappy, so it was not too late for Madame to go earlier." ”

Tian Jiang didn't dare to slack off, after freshening up, he ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and then the maid followed him out of the room and went in the direction of Fushan Hall.

Last night it snowed overnight, the sun was warm, the ice ridge of the eaves suddenly fell down, bluffing the tiger civet cat in the snow to escape, printing a little plum blossom print, wandering over the hillside, she was laughing funny, there was a maid on the green poplar bridge with an umbrella, holding a bunch of red plum blossoms like rouge, before opening, looking very fresh, the fragrance is also strong, Tian Jiang begged a few branches to play in his hand.

After getting off the Luyang Bridge, I saw that the Wufang Xue family led three or two maids, blocking in front of a rockery cave built up of Taihu Lake stones, and a boy in a green coat and a hat stopped there.

Tian Jiang is well versed in the principle of watching the fire from the other side and igniting the fire, and intends to quietly walk away along the pine wall, but he thinks that the Xue family has seen her and sent a maid to invite her, but it is not easy to push back, and he stepped forward to receive her blessing.

Xue smiled: "The second sister-in-law is going to the old lady, and when I solve this matter, I will go with you." You don't have to hide, they are all people in the same house, and there is nothing to see. “

Tian Jiang listened to her straightforward words, smiled and bowed his head, and then stood to the side, Xue Shi didn't care, turned his head and asked the boy: "There is a mother-in-law who can see that the fifth master has entered this cave, if not, what are you doing here?" "He said he was going to enter the hole.

The boy panicked, glanced at Tian Jiang, wiped the snot string with his sleeve, and replied: "Madame should go in, otherwise everyone will not be embarrassed." “

Hearing this, the corners of Xue's mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile: "What shameless things are you doing inside?" What you said made me more and more curious, and I wanted to take a look. “

I can't help but say that I have to break in, and the little guy is not stopping, and it is not if he doesn't stop it, and he is sweating in the cold weather.

At this moment, a sharp-eyed maid pointed to a certain place and shouted: "She ran away." ”

Tian Jiang Shunyin looked, it turned out that there was a slightly smaller hole on the side of the rockery, and a woman wearing a green jacket and red skirt came out, and she couldn't hear it, so she only walked forward with her skirt, but she couldn't stop screaming, and two mothers-in-law came to block the way, so she gradually stopped slowly, retreated to Xue's side, and saluted with a red face.

Xue Shi looked at her all over her body carefully, her eyes were unrecognizable, and the maid next to her said: "It is the mother-in-law who promised Laifuer by the master's side, her name is Qiaoqi, Laifuer fell off the horse and died last year, the old lady was kind, and she was left to do things in the house." “

Xue asked her, "What are you doing here?" “

Na Qiaoqi hurriedly replied: "It was the fifth master who asked me to get the cloth, and he wanted to make a cotton robe." ”

As he spoke, he really took out a satin from the sleeve cage, with a blue ground silk eight-group cloud and crane pattern, which is very good-looking, and the color matching is very clean.

Xue stared at her skirt, the sun shone red when she was far away, and when she got closer, she saw that she was using carp jumping waves and woven gold makeup satin, which was complicated but not messy, glamorous but not demonic, and it was a rare expensive commodity on the market.

Tian Jiang heard the old lady mention that the fifth master, Shen Zedi, opened a satin shop, a silk shop, a velvet shop, a dyeing room and a garment shop, which occupied the entire market.

Xue was still about to be tried, but he saw a man dangling out of the mouth of the rockery, tying his pants in his hand while scolding Qiao Qi: "Why are you still delaying my business here?" ”

Na Qiaoqi hurriedly walked away, and Xue sneered: "It's so impatient, it only snowed last night, and the rockery is cold and windy, so I'm not afraid of freezing and can't pull out." ”

"Didn't I tell you that I came to get a cloth?" Shen Wuye slowly smoothed the folds on his clothes.

"You think I'm a fool with my eyes open? If you want to cause trouble, anyone can find a clean and peugeot, fool around with a widow or something, and despise yourself. Xue pouted and said hatefully: "The fabric of her skirt is known to be given by you, if the old lady sees it, you can explain it yourself, and don't think about using me as a disguise." “

Shen Wuye saw that it was difficult to hide it, so he chuckled and said: "You take me here early in the morning, I'm afraid that it will be passed on to the old lady's ears early, and I will be tired of her. “

He paused, and then he noticed that there was a woman standing on her back more than a dozen paces away, wearing a cloak, and her black hair was combed into a bun, revealing half of her slender neck, which was very white and delicate.

"That's the second sister-in-law, the second master was newly married a while ago." Xue pursed his lips and smiled.

Shen Wuye hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully leaned over and bowed his hand, and said solemnly: "I have seen the second sister-in-law, when the second brother married you, I happened to be far away in Jiangnan to pick silk, and I couldn't rush back for a while, I really felt guilty in my heart, and I asked for forgiveness for the absence of the younger brother." ”

"It's no wonder that there is no crime, the fifth uncle is serious." Shen Wuye raised his head with a smile, just as he saw Tian Jiang turn to face, his pupils suddenly tightened, and his body was like a heat wave.

Tian Jiang saw that he was stunned and stared at himself, he was very displeased, so he just said that he wanted to go and say goodbye to the old lady, and he left after resigning, regardless of whether the Xue family followed or not.

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

Entering the courtyard gate of Fushan Hall, there were a few maids standing on the porch, seeing them coming, Chunxi came to greet them with a smile, and the rest rushed to close the curtain.

Tian Jiang handed the plum branch in his hand to Chunxi, and when he entered the room, Mrs. Shen leaned on the couch, while the female dependents such as He and Cui sat on the edge of the couch, eating tea and talking.

Then he stepped forward to greet the old lady, and then looked around where to sit, the two maids were busy with the chair, He had already gotten up, affectionately pulled her to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "The second brother and sister went to Tianruo Temple, and the Buddha blessed them, and this complexion is getting better and better." “

"Sister-in-law Ji Yan." Tian Jiang thanked him, while Cui's was talking to the old lady, and he didn't seem to notice the movement.

The curtain was lifted again, and Xue walked in slowly, and the room instantly became quiet.

Old Madam Shen's expression was slightly condensed, and she silently looked at her approaching to greet her, and then she wanted to find a chair to sit on, her face sank, and she said coldly: "I heard that your master is doing shameless things in the garden again, and you are very virtuous and wise when you do unsightly things in front of you, and a few pieces of cloth are bought." “

Xue's face did not change, and replied: "Mother heard the words, and the second sister-in-law also saw in front of me, I was blocked at the entrance of the rockery, and I had to fight to the death with that **, and when I saw her face clearly, it was actually the widow of Laiful, I am a master anyway, and it is really not worth it to do it with her." The master wants to give me a few pieces of cloth, if I don't want it, he will complain that I am hypocritical and not funny, it is better to simply accept it, it is better than sending it to that **, isn't it? “
