Chapter 146: The First Battle

On the night of Han Zhai's concubine, a fire broke out in the backyard, which was a full real fire, not a false fire, if it hadn't happened to be a light snow that day, and everyone found it early, otherwise the fire would have to burn half of the new house.

Just when everyone shouted to take the water, Han Mu, who had already fallen asleep, woke up from her dream suddenly, and then heard a noise outside.

"Wang Ma, Wang Ma" After listening carefully for a while, Han's mother was suddenly shocked in her heart, and hurriedly called out to Mrs. Wang. And just when she got out of bed to look for shoes, Mrs. Wang and two maids hurriedly walked in, one maid lit the lamp, and the other maid hung up the curtain for Han's mother, and Mrs. Wang hurriedly walked over and hugged Han's mother and said, "Don't worry, old lady, the fire will be extinguished in a short time, and it will be fine." ”

"Okay, why did you just run out of water, what is it burning?" After Han's mother put on her shoes, she was about to walk outside.

"Today, there is a headlamp on the head, and the maid brought by the new aunt and grandmother is not very preservious, and she didn't look at the candle flame, so she accidentally lit it, so she burned a window and two curtains." As she spoke, Mrs. Wang grabbed Han's mother and persuaded: "It's almost time, it's very cold outside, don't go out and hurt the wind." ”

"Is it a fire in a new house?" Han's mother was still not at ease, and asked tightly while helping Mrs. Wang out of the outhouse.

"It was a fire on the left side of the new house, and there was nothing wrong in the new house, but this time, the new aunt was afraid that she would be frightened. The fourth grandmother has just passed, the old lady went back to the inner room to rest, the outhouse is also very cold, you suddenly came out of the bed, and you can't stand it after standing for a long time. ”

After walking to the outhouse, Han's mother did feel the swishing cold, and then heard that it was no longer as noisy as it was just now, so she didn't go out, but frowned and said: "As soon as this newcomer entered the door, this happened at home, could it be that it is true that it is like Liu Banxian's calculation, then Aunt Xue's eight characters are fire, and she was born to fight with my son?" ”

Before Xue Lin entered the door, Zhou Lingling suggested that Han's mother take Xue Lin and Han Sidao's eight characters to take a look, Han's mother was idle at home, and she was moved by Zhou Lingling's words. So the next day, Zhou Lingling invited a well-known fortune teller nearby to come in and solve some doubts for Han's mother.

It's just that she is not old and confused, although she has some reluctance in her heart, but because Liu Banxian said some good things about Zhou Lingling at that time, it made her doubt Liu Banxian's words. But right now, just after entering the door, she immediately responded to those words, facts speak louder than words, so Han Mu was skeptical before, and now she has to believe it.

"This ......" Mrs. Wang was also a little hesitant for a while, before she told Han's mother that Liu Banxian may have been bought by Zhou Lingling, but now, she no longer dares to think that she was so sure before.

was hesitating, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then I saw the door curtain being lifted, and Zhou Lingling, who was wearing a red background and a big wool cloak with a lotus pattern, walked in. Han's mother was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "What's the situation now, how is the burning over there?" Four ways he ......"

"It really shocked the old lady." After Zhou Lingling came in, she didn't untie her cloak, just took off her hat, and then sighed, "I didn't hurt anyone, I also asked the maids and women to clean up, and the smell of burnt over there was a bit heavy, so Xianggong will rest on my side tonight." I saw that my mother was on the light, so I came over to take a look, and by the way, I told my mother, it's okay, my mother went back to the house to rest, and I will watch what is going on outside. ”

"How can such a thing happen on such a day, the people around her are governors, you won't dial a sensible person to help in advance." Han's mother whispered as she walked towards the back room.

Zhou Lingling snorted in her heart, but said, "I'm not worried that Aunt Xue will feel in her heart that she has just entered the door, and I can't wait to stare at her everywhere." And she brought two maids in by herself, and I added another one, which is not appropriate. ”

"She's an aunt, what are you afraid of when you care about her." Han's mother snorted and said, "It's just right, since this matter tonight is the fault of the maid next to her, then Ming'er, you will have someone to lead the maid out, vacate this position, and you can find someone to fill it." ”

Zhou Lingling hesitated for a while, and then nodded: "It's all up to my mother's arrangement." ”

"Okay, you go back, it's a good day, but this troublesome thing happened, it's really unlucky" Han's mother waved her hand with some interest, and then went back to the bed and lay down. Zhou Lingling won the first battle, and she was in a very good mood, and after she came out of Han's mother, she whispered to Mrs. Xu: "Mom is right, the old lady really opened her mouth." ”

Mrs. Xu nodded slightly, and after walking a few steps, she whispered next to Zhou Lingling: "Grandma can't be taken lightly at the moment, in my opinion, that little slut is not a simple one." ”

Zhou Lingling sneered: "Today is a good day for her, but I just said to let the Xianggong come to me, but she didn't dare to say a word, but agreed very much, I think she was obviously frightened." ”

"Grandma, you think it's bad, this is the power of that little slut, I would rather be wronged by myself, and I want to be wronged first, otherwise as soon as this thing comes out, the old lady Ming'er will annoy her first, and if you don't wait to see her, then she will rely on the love of the fourth master, and she can have a few days of good life." Mrs. Xu said and instructed, "Grandma, don't be blinded by her hypocrisy, grandma thought, she just carried into the door, and suddenly this happened, and it was the second half of the night, so don't panic." As usual, just because the fourth master did to her, she had to leave the fourth master to give her courage, but she followed her grandmother's wishes, and there was no trace of grievance on her face, and she claimed that it was good for the fourth master.

Zhou Lingling was slightly stunned, and pondered for a while before saying: "When my mother said this, I remembered that she didn't panic just now." ”

Mrs. Xu nodded hurriedly: "That's right, grandma has to pay attention so carefully in the future, that little slut is by no means simple." ”

At the same time, Xue Lin was here, and after the mother-in-law outside had left, she was busy seeing the troublesome maid call in and ask carefully. Before the fire started, her maid had been called out once, and then when she came back, the curtain in the house was already on.

"Girl, when I went out, the lamp on the table was fine, I swear, it really ......"

Xue Lin secretly gritted her teeth, glanced at the maid in front of her who kept sobbing, suddenly scolded her a few words, and then punished her to go to the house to kneel and reflect. Then the next day, before Zhou Lingling sent someone out to call someone, she first took the maid to Han's mother to ask for sin.

"It's all mine, I let this ignorant maid follow me into the door, I didn't serve the old lady well, and I frightened the old lady in the middle of the night." After Xue Lin entered, she couldn't help but say, she knelt down in front of Han's mother, and presented the deed of sale of the two maids, "I'm young and ignorant, and I don't know much about the rules, let alone train the maids." The two of them, the old lady either let them take them out and sell them, or let them do the rough work in the house, it was all up to the old lady to dispose of. ”

Mother Han was stunned by her move, and couldn't help but look at the princess next to her. Originally, she was full of anger, but early in the morning, Xue Lin came over with the guilt, and she couldn't say anything she wanted to scold and scold for a while.

It just so happened that Zhou Lingling also heard the news, and she didn't wait for Han Sidao to get up, and after putting on it, she hurried over.

"Why is Aunt Xue still kneeling, how cold it is on this ground." After Zhou Lingling came over, she first inquired about the situation outside, followed Mrs. Xu and muttered a few words quietly, and then walked in with a smile.

"I'm here to make amends to my grandmother, and I beg my grandmother not to hold a grudge against me for the sake of my youth and ignorance." As soon as Xue Lin saw Zhou Lingling come in, she immediately kowtowed to her.

Zhou Lingling was stunned, and said secretly in her heart: "What my mother said is really right, this little slut is really a bearable person, if it wasn't for her mother who woke up a few words yesterday, she would have been deceived by this little slut today." ”

"I made a big gift when I was serving tea yesterday, so what are you doing with such a big ceremony today." Zhou Lingling walked to Han's mother as she spoke, and continued, "How can I hate you, and it's not your fault to say that, and it's all up to my mother." ”

"Since you all say so, then I will accept these two deeds." Seeing that everyone was in charge, Han's mother was very comfortable, so she asked Mrs. Wang to bring the deed in Xue Lin's hand. Zhou Lingling glanced at it, her heart was overjoyed, and she was thinking about which maid to send to Xue Lin to serve this aunt, but she didn't want to change her words next: "Mother Wang will pick two more maids for her to send over later, what do you think?" ”

Xue Lin hurriedly kowtowed, and said gratefully and sincerely: "Thank you for the old lady's mercy, it is a blessing for me to be able to get the maid chosen by the old lady." ”

Zhou Lingling was stunned, didn't she say that she would pick the maid and send it over, how could it be replaced by Han's mother, so it would not be easy for her to support people in the future. She was in a hurry, and she was about to open her mouth to Han's mother, but Mrs. Xu next to her hurriedly came up and said, "It's not too early, isn't it time for grandma and the old lady to have breakfast, there is fresh goat's milk today." ”

Zhou Lingling glanced at Mrs. Xu, who hurriedly gave her a look and asked her not to talk now.

"Well, let's have breakfast. Oh, what about the four paths? Did you get up? Han's mother was originally a short-sighted person, so she could see what was in front of her, so she got these two deeds worth dozens of taels of silver for nothing early in the morning, and the new aunt was also well-behaved, much more pleasing than the serious daughter-in-law, so she felt a lot more comfortable, and her heart was lightened when she planned to reprimand Xue Lin.

Zhou Lingling reluctantly smiled: "It should be up, my mother will sit first, and I'll go back and take a look." ”

After coming out of Han's mother, Zhou Lingling called Mrs. Xu over and asked, "What's the matter with the old lady?" Didn't you just say yes last night, why did you change your mind in front of me today?"

"Grandma, I just said that the little slut is not simple, and now you must not reluctantly disobey the old lady in that little slut." Mrs. Xu frowned and thought for a while, before continuing, "Actually, there are many ways to clean up that little slut, let's not rush for a day or two." In my opinion, grandma has to coax the fourth master well now, grasp the heart of the fourth master, and don't be angry with the fourth master like before. Otherwise, with that little slut's means, she will definitely be able to take advantage of the loophole."

Zhou Lingling sneered, didn't say anything, and just walked to her own courtyard.

……

After Han Sidao got up, he stretched out comfortably, got out of bed slowly, calculated the time in his heart, and then called the maid to come in to serve.
