The day after returning from the Hou Mansion. The third young grandmother, Fan Xiru, made a list of the procedures for worshipping ancestors, the rules of the clan meeting, and the cost of a degree, and sent the big girl around her to the East Mansion to give the second old lady and the second wife a look. Zhuo Shi found that several of them had been revised, but they were a little more detailed than the previous discussion, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the carved railing, and saw that she was silent, just bowed her head and smiled decently, waiting for her to speak, then turned her head and asked her mother-in-law, "What does Mother think?" ”

The second old lady was crooked on the couch, listening to Chunying read the contents of the list in a low voice, and naturally heard the changes in it, and she didn't raise her eyelids: "You old ladies have already seen it?" What do your wives say? ”

Diao Lan replied with a smile: "Our third young grandmother has returned to our old lady, and the old lady said that it can be done according to the regulations discussed before, and our third young grandmother went to ask our wife to show her." Our wife said that she was not good, and told us three young grandmothers to do their best, even if there was something that was not well thought out, our elders would correct it, even if it was really wrong, the clansmen knew that our third young grandmother was the new daughter-in-law, and it would not be strange to do such an errand for the first time. Our three young grandmothers didn't dare to take the big one, so we went to ask the eldest young grandmother for advice. The eldest and youngest grandmothers went to inquire with the patriarch's grandmother again, and finally the two young grandmothers summed up and revised this charter, but they were worried that there was something unexpected, so they came to ask the second old lady and the second wife to show them, and asked the second old lady and the second wife to correct them more, and they did not hesitate to give advice. ”

Chunying listened to the string of grandmothers' heads that were about to be dizzy, and the second wife had already laughed: "In the past, when Brother You's daughter-in-law had not yet passed the door, he brought you to our house as a guest, but I didn't see that you had such a clever mouth. Who is this grandmother talking about? But whoever turns his mind more slowly will be stumped by you. ”

Carved Fence hurriedly smiled: "If you reply to others, the slave and maid should speak slowly, break a sentence into three paragraphs, and make sure that people can hear it clearly word by word." It's just that when they come to a shrewd master like the second old lady and the second wife, they are still humming and chirping like this, even if the second old lady and the second wife don't speak, the sisters in this house will beat the slave and maid out first, and they will talk back for a long time, and they don't explain the matter clearly, so that the second old lady and the second wife are anxious! ”

Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing, and Chun Ying pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "In the past, I haven't seen you pretend to be a young lady and speak, which time didn't you speak quickly and urgently like pouring beans?" Our wife praises you for speaking clearly and clearly, who praises you for speaking quickly? And choreographed us. When did we beat you out? It's boring. In that case, I really want to beat you out once, so as not to bear the false name. "Anyway, I really got up and pushed the carving railing.

Diao Lan smiled and begged for mercy, and the second old lady said happily: "That's it." Chunying spared her, I can't bear to see her say so pitiful. "Let's let Zhuo leave the list, "Go back and tell you the third young grandmother, we know it in our hearts, let her just let it go, with her talents, this kind of thing will not be difficult for her, and if you don't understand, ask your old lady." We still have a lot of things to do in our own house, and we may not be able to spare our hands, but we are afraid that we will not be able to help much, so we just wait for the day to go to the ancestral hall. ”

The carved fence hurriedly bowed his knees and respectfully took his leave. Chunying sent it outside the courtyard gate, and said with a smile: "The third young grandmother just passed the door to take over such an important matter, she is really capable, I heard from other girls that not only the Hou Mansion and our East Mansion, but also the other rooms in the clan have heard of the good name of the third young grandmother." Last night, a few little girls in our courtyard still said in private that the third young grandmother of the Hou Mansion was a good master who was very generous and painful. ”

The carved bar quickly turned around. A hint of discoloration flashed on his face, but he soon smiled and grabbed Chunying's arm, and said angrily: "Good sister, we have known each other for so long, what can we say?" If I don't do well, you can teach me more. ”

Chunying smiled: "You are so capable, how can you not do it well?" I don't dare to preach your words, so that people will hear them, and I may have to pay you one or two or five cents of silver. ”

Carved Rail's face changed, and he quickly glanced around, and saw that everyone else was far away, so he lowered his head and lowered his voice to speak, as if humble, but in fact his tone was not like that at all: "What do you mean by this?" We've always been peaceful, but we're just borrowing the mouth of your girl. You heard it in there just now, with my sister's cleverness, you won't not understand, right? Are you easy for us?! How did our young lady marry into Nafu, I don't believe you don't know, there is still such a mother-in-law on the top, how can people live?! Horizontal and vertical is not harmful to you people in Dongfu, you just turn a blind eye! ”

Chun Ying said lightly: "No matter how difficult it is for you, you can only make trouble in your own house." The girls under my command are not very old, and they have not seen the world yet, so if a few taels of silver are broken, what should I do if I can't teach them well in the future? If I just say a few good words, I really can't see it, but arranging the housewife of another family and asking people to find out, who is unlucky? ”

The carved railing's eyes rolled. Immediately decided: "I know, don't worry, we won't provoke the people in your house again!" ”

Chun Ying smiled and took her hand, and whispered: "Don't worry, I don't know yet, I don't think so, thank you to the third young grandmother for rewarding those little girls with money, they will be grateful." Then he raised his voice, "Good sister, remember to come and see us when you have time!" The carved fence also nodded affectionately, and walked away with a smile on his face.

Chunying sent people away with a smile, went back to the house to resume her life, and served in front of the second old lady for half a day, returned to her room, and saw Qiu Yan sitting by the window doing needlework, as if waiting for herself, so she asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qiu Yan hurriedly got up and said, "I asked a few more little girls, and I found two more, and they all promised not to spread bad words about the eldest lady of Xifu." It's just that one of them is full of Lou, and some of the mothers-in-law in the courtyard may also get silver, how should this be? ”

Chunying said: "I have already said hello to the carving fence, they will not come to provoke our people again, just accept the silver." Now there are many people secretly scolding Mrs. Xifu, so let's look at it coldly, bring up the restless people in the courtyard, knock and beat, and save this kind of thing from happening in the future. I'll mention it to Qingluan again when I go back, and tell her to pay attention to the people in his wife's courtyard. ”

Qiu Yan nodded, sat down with a frown, and sighed: "When we were in the south, we often heard jokes about the fighting of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in other houses, but I didn't expect to see such a thing around me when I entered Beijing. Luckily, we don't have one in the house. It's just that I don't know, what kind of person will the daughter-in-law that the fourth young master marry in the future be? ”

Chunying is not worried: "There is an old lady and his wife personally checking the gates, what are you afraid of?" Even if it's really bad, is it possible that she still dares to provoke you? Let's take care of our own business first. I suspect that this time it has something to do with Jin Yu, but there is no evidence, it's hard to talk about her, you usually help me pay more attention to a few second-class girls. I have blocked their way to their wealth, but I am afraid that they will not want to do it. If you let Bailing go, I'm afraid the news will spread. ”

The autumn geese answered. Chunying sat on the edge of the kang, thought about it, sighed, and put the matter aside.

Next is Chinese New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, ancestor worship and reunion dinner, and fireworks and so on, and all kinds of ceremonies and people who come to visit the party will stop until the eighth day of the new year. Because there is a custom in the East Mansion, the first month does not use knives and scissors, the second old man and the second wife are busy paying New Year's greetings everywhere, and sometimes they will bring their children, the second old lady is impatient to go out, and there is nothing to do at home, so she invited the concubine or the younger daughter-in-law to talk, and sometimes called a group of girls to accompany her to relieve her boredom. The magpie who had already been upgraded to an aunt became a frequent visitor to Songyi Temple, and the second old lady on a whim, and ordered someone to summon back a few old girls who were married, and a room full of people talked and laughed, so lively.

Chunying only accompanied her once, and then did not participate in this kind of party again. They have known each other for many years, and even the second- and third-class little girls and mothers-in-law in Songyi Courtyard have also been to the south with them, or they have been together for a few months when they last returned to Beijing. Chunying cha didn't go into her mouth, but she felt bored, as if she had become an outsider. Besides, in this room, there are many gentle and careful former big girls, one by one, who are waiting for the second old lady diligently. Where is the need for her to pour tea and water at the front end? She simply put on a coat and walked around the house, visiting the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on duty, inspecting the lamp oil and wax everywhere, and when the second wife came home to say goodbye, she could also remind a few words, which made the two big bosses and the fourth lady of the small boss feel that she was careful and thoughtful.

After the tenth day of the first month, the second door uploaded a letter from home and came in. Chunying carried it back to the house and took a closer look at the snow. The letter said that her parents had been taken home by Brother-in-law Lu and temporarily placed in the back room, and the family gathered together in the New Year, not to mention how happy she was, but she was worried about whether she was doing well in Dongfu. The parents had already kowtowed to the house under the New Year, but the master was busy with family affairs, and Manager Xu quickly let them go, so he didn't find a chance to see her. When the government opens an errand after the beginning of spring and comes back to get the papers, I will find a way to see her, and I have a lot to say. Brother-in-law Lu has already said that when the paperwork comes and the household registration is completed, the transfer will be done immediately. The new house is near my brother-in-law's house, it is a small courtyard with two entrances, I have already been to see it, and after the first month, I began to repair and beat the furniture. specially left her a west wing, the size of which was about the same as the one in the former compound, and she lived alone, and asked her what kind of furniture she wanted......

This letter was written on more than ten pieces of paper, the handwriting on it was the size of an egg, it was the handwriting of his younger brother Xiaohu, although it was crooked, but it was rare to write all the words clearly, there were only four typos in total, and the sentences were quite smooth. Chunying smiled while sour, but there was a faint excitement in her heart, and she couldn't wait to go to her new home in the future immediately. It was a house that really belonged to their family, not assigned by the owner's family, nor was it in someone else's name. After so many years of hard work, they finally grasped something substantial.

The letter came in from time to time, and there was no guarantee that no one would open it and peek at it, so the letter did not mention some more secret matters, such as the disposal of those properties, and the future livelihood. Chunying only waited for the government to open after the year, and after the housekeeper finished the paperwork of her parents, she would be able to see them, and then she would make her words clear.

After reading the letter a few more times, Chunying carefully put it away, wrapped it in cloth, and stuffed it into the mirror case. At this time, there was a knock on the door, she got up to open the door, but it was Qiu Yan outside, and she whispered with a displeased face: "It's too noisy over there, borrow your place to sit." ”

Chunying hurriedly welcomed her in, and asked with a smile: "For the New Year, you put on such a face, beware of the old lady being unhappy." ”

"The old lady can't see it!" Qiu Yan sat on the edge of the kang with her buttocks, "Yesterday was a day of trouble, the old lady was also tired, and she was taking a nap in the house, and Bai Ling took two girls to wait on the side, so she didn't need us." I was only worried about the happy aunt, obviously told her not to come today, she still had to run over, knowing that the old lady was asleep, so I went to Jinyu's house, called a bunch of girls to talk, said happily, and brought her own jewelry for them to try on. It's noisy, I can't sleep next door! Reasoning, it's a good thing that she doesn't forget her roots, but it makes the little girls' hearts messed up, why do I feel upset?! ”

Chunying frowned, then smiled: "That's it, now for the New Year, let's let them play." That's the old man's aunt, just don't offend her. ”

"Who wants to offend my aunt?" Qingluan came in from outside the door and handed over a cloth bag with a smile, "The fruit box sent by King Jing's Mansion yesterday, my wife doesn't like to eat sweet, so I gave some to the young master and miss, and we will wrap the rest." I have picked a few of each, and I will bring them to you to taste. ”

Chunying and Qiuyan thanked each other, opened the bag and put it on a thin plate, and set up half of the table in a colorful manner. Chunying asked for hot tea again, and the three of them sat at the table and talked while eating refreshments. Qiu Yan said what Fang Cai said, and Qingluan knew what was going on, so he pursed his lips and glanced at Chunying, and said with a smile: "What else should I do." Speaking of which, I heard one thing from my wife, it turns out that your marriage has been decided, and you are still a great family. What a blessing! ”

Chunying smiled embarrassedly, and Qiu Yan hurriedly asked, "Which one is it?" Do we know each other? Qingluan just chewed a chestnut and smiled without saying a word, Qiu Yan was in a hurry, so she whispered: "Although I don't recognize it, I heard that it is a very well-known family." Yesterday, there were a few sisters in the room, who were married to stewards or outsiders, and everyone said that they were blessed, according to me, they were not as good as Chunying. What is a small door? Marrying into a big family is majestic! ”

Chunying saw that the more she talked, the more outrageous it became, and she hurriedly pushed her: "What nonsense!" When am I going to marry a big family? ”

"Who lied to you? I heard the old man ......" Qingluan suddenly stopped his mouth and looked out before turning around and continuing in a low voice, "I heard the old man and his wife say it themselves." Don't coax me, my own sister, what are you doing to hide such a good thing from me?! ”

Qiu Yan hurriedly pulled Chun Ying to ask, Chun Ying's face was hot, and she only said that Qingluan was not kao, and the three of them made a mess, and suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside, followed by the exclamations of the girls, and hurriedly ran out to see what was going on.

Mr. Xu stood under the porch wiping his sweat, panting, anxious, and when he saw Chunying coming out, he hurriedly said to her: "Hurry up and ask the old lady to get up, there is something important, the old lady is not at home, so I can only ask the old lady to show me!" "Also called Qingluan," go back quickly and ask someone to send a message to the old lady, and ask them to go back to the house immediately!" ”

Chunying was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled Qiu Yan into the house to serve the second old lady and got up, and Qingluan also left in a hurry. The second old lady also heard the noise outside, hurriedly got up and freshened up, came to the hall, and couldn't sit down, so she asked, "What happened?!" ”

Manager Xu hurriedly said: "The news sent by the Jingwang Mansion to tell us not to go out for the time being, saying that it is this evening at the earliest, and tomorrow morning at the latest, there will be an accident in Beijing, and it is a big disaster to rob the family and exterminate the clan, let the master be careful, don't let people calculate!" ”

The old lady's face changed suddenly. Chunying only felt a weight in the crook of her arm, and she was busy holding on to it, and her heart was also worried.! ~！
