When she came back from the old lady's house, it was already dark, and Jin Mei first asked Bi Luo to wait for Yun Niang to go down to wash, and she called Liucui to the side room.

"I don't see that you are so fond of causing trouble, you actually say, what is wrong with you that you want to harm me like this?" She sat down at the table and said with a straight face. Liucui was silent, and stood in front of him with her head down. Jin Mei snorted, and said: "Dare to love the old lady who didn't have a long memory when she did Aunt Li a few years ago, thinking that she could mess around at will, today's wife wants to punish you for your monthly money, I should let her punish you!" ”

"Good girl!" Liucui bent down and said softly: "The slave knows her mistakes, and she shouldn't be out for the girl." ”

Jin Mei squinted at her, "Wrong? How could I not see that? I have pulled you two or three times, and you will not move. I thought you had forgotten that there was still me as a girl. ”

"Girl's forgiveness!" Liucui knelt down with her skirt, first kowtowed solidly, and then got up: "Girl Mingjian, Liucui has been a person who can't get sand in his eyes since he was a child." At the beginning, there were ten of our maids, and now they are all in charge of things in each room, although they have different temperaments, but there are few people who want to be the wife of the master in vain. This bitch has done such a shameless thing, everyone can spit on it! Liucui didn't want to be with such people, and she couldn't restrain herself for a while, and when she caused trouble, she hoped that the girl would understand. ”

Jin Mei stared for a long time before saying, "Is that really the case?" ”

"If you say half a lie, you will be thundered by the sky!"

Jin Mei sighed, "You can't rub sand in your eyes, this is good or bad." You grew up in this big mansion since you were a child, how can you not know that it is powerful? On weekdays, if there is a disagreement between sisters, it should be resolved in private, and it is a big mistake to ignore the identity of the occasion like today! First, the thing you are referring to is extraordinary, but fortunately, the wives have not studied it deeply, if they do, how should the painting be handled? It is not known whether corporal punishment can be severe or ruinous in the future. Second, you are the eldest lady's person, don't talk about not defending her, you still take the lead in arguing in the old lady's courtyard, don't you live up to your wife's love for you? ”

"What the girl said is very true!" Liucui nodded, "I actually figured it out now, and today I was really stupid." It's just girl, since we know about this matter, can't we hide it like this? ”

"If you don't hide it now, what can you do?" Jin Mei pulled her up. "Could it be that I ran to tell my wife that the waiter was misbehaving and secretly colluding with the second young master? Isn't this forcing her to a dead end! Besides, if there is such a fuss today, presumably the wives will also be suspicious, it is enough for us to mention this, and don't get involved in it. Whether they dig deep or not, whether the incident happens or not, it is no longer our business. ”

Liucui nodded. Holding a pot and pouring tea with her.

Yun Niang, who had already finished washing, came in with the curtain, and when she saw that the two of them were stagnant, she asked worriedly: "What is the quarrel in the courtyard today?" ”

Jin Mei thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's just that the maids have a few words, nothing serious, don't worry about it." While making a look to let Liucui out, he hugged Yun Niang and sat down at the table. When he was holding Yun Niang's shoulder, he saw that her sideburns were a little more frosty, so he said softly: "My mother has gray hair." Yun Niang pulled her over with a smile, looked at her and said, "My mother is old, how can I not have gray hair?" My mother saw that you were becoming more and more handsome and good-looking, and she felt relieved. ”

Jin Mei picked up an Ejiao jujube with her, and said, "If it comes back safely one day, my mother will be even more pleased." ”

As soon as she heard this, Yun Niang's smile disappeared, she hurt herself, and patted the back of her hand and said, "My mother is old, and I don't know how many years I have to wait." "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven"! Now I hope that you will be in peace. I've been watching you treat people here for half a day, but there is a bit of your sister's original style, although the people in the house are complicated, the wives have never said anything to you. This is your blessing, and you should also respect yourself, and don't learn from others to act rashly. ”

Jin Mei nodded: "Mother's words, Mei'er all keep it in mind." ”

"That's good." Yun Niang breathed a sigh of relief, "I know that you are a good boy, but I was afraid that you would have little contact with outsiders, and I was afraid that you would not be used to it." And you are not their niece and nephew after all, there is a comparison with your sister when you are there, there is no way to do it, and if you don't like it, you can only listen. Who told us to be concubines? ”

Jinmei was silent, just holding her hand.

Yun Niang took a deep breath and said, "Okay, it's all wordy." Left and right are in this city, if you have any grievances, just go home and tell me, and remember not to show them here. But didn't your second aunt take a thousand taels of silver and take Xin'er to live in the old alley of West Street after she had a fight with your sister at the beginning? Xin'er is your father's bloodline in the end, and your father doesn't know if there will be a day when he will see each other, just now I thought about whether I would ask her Sheng'er tomorrow and take Xin'er to the prison to take a look, do you think, is it appropriate? ”

Jin Mei couldn't help but snort coldly when she heard this.

Speaking of these two aunts, it was originally Jinnuo's mother who was the master, because at that time, Ye's father only had two daughters under his knees, and there was no son, so he also bought a daughter from a poor family outside. I don't want to be a master who doesn't stop, it was okay when my mother Ye was there, because Ye's father has always respected his wife, so he didn't dare to make trouble, at most he would only blindly flatter and please everyone. It wasn't until she gave birth to Jinxin later, and as soon as Mrs. Ye passed away, she began to pretend to be big. does not put Jinnuo and Yun Niang's mother and daughter in their eyes. Jinnuo ignored her younger brother at the beginning, but after the family suffered a disaster, the first thing this aunt thought about was not how to keep her husband out, but blindly clamoring to divide the family property! and said that Jin Xin is the only male son of the Ye family, she should be the housemother of the family, and asked Jin Nuo to hand over all the account books in the house.

Under such circumstances, Jinnuo refused. If my aunt made trouble again, she was angry, so she lost a thousand taels of silver with her, let her stay, and left the five-year-old Jinxin to take care of herself. Who knew that after two days, she left home without saying a word and hugged Jinxin! Jinnuo went to find it, and she threatened that Jinxin had nothing to do with the Ye family from now on, and was no longer a descendant of the Ye family......

Jinmei thought of this, and her heart was still angry. deliberately said in a wooden voice: "She said that Xin'er is not a descendant of the Ye family, what did she do when she went to her?" ”

Yun Niang said angrily: "You girl, you have the same temper as your sister!" Although she said so, she couldn't change the fact that Xin'er was your brother. Besides, when your sister was there, she also said that when the matter in front of her is over, she will lead Xin'er back to her home to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors in the future! ”

Jin Mei held the sunflower seeds on the plate in her hand, and said casually: "Mother, you should also be more ambitious!" My sister said this, do you really want that woman to come back? ”

Yun Niang hung her shoulders, and it took a long time before she said quietly: "I'm not looking forward to her." I have suffered in my life in the cowardice, I don't care about anyone, I care about you and your father, no one counts on you, only you and your father. Although your aunt is a little too much, what do we want to do in front of Xin'er, your father is nearly half a hundred, just such a son, do you really want him to die? Now that they don't see each other, I really can't do it. ”

After listening to the words of Jinmei, he was silent.
