Chunying remembers that when she was first brought to the village. The people of the Wang family came to visit and mentioned that Manru was going to open his face. She and Shi'er were very surprised at that time, thinking that the third young master hated Manru so much, how could he agree to accept her as a concubine? Later, the wife was deprived of the right to be a housekeeper, and the third young master should not have the heart to take a concubine.

It's just that now Manru is dressed up in **, and she is wearing a body of powder, which shows that she is really an aunt, but this dress is a little shabby, the clothes are upside down, and the silver gilt hairpin and old silk flowers she got when she was a girl in Huanhuaxuan are still wearing glasses, even if she is a girl back then, her daily wear is richer than her. Looking at the posture of the second young grandmother Liang in front of him, and looking at Manru's eyes, it seems that he has a great grudge against her. Chunying couldn't help but wonder, Mo Feiman was not the concubine of the third young master, but the second young master? But hasn't she always been afraid of the second young master? Could it be that the second young master saw that his wife was losing power, so he specially snatched Man Ru over to make him small, so that he could fall into the face of the third young master?

Chun Ying's mind was in a flash, and she had already turned to face the second old lady, bowed her head and replied: "Old lady, this is the second young grandmother who entered the door last year." ”

The second old lady glanced at the Liang family lightly: "Is that the daughter of the Liang family?" When I was in Kyori. I have also heard of her reputation, doesn't it mean that she is virtuous and dignified, has both ability and political integrity, and can be called the first celebrity in the world? It can be seen that the world misrepresents the fallacy, and it is better to be famous than to meet in real person! ”

Chun Ying forcibly held back a smile. At that time, the Liang family was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he was already quite smart. Mrs. Liang's family didn't know if it was the idea of sending her to the palace and becoming a concubine, so they did propaganda in Beijing early and praised a little girl as if there was nothing in the sky and on the earth, which attracted countless people's praise. Who knew that the emperor just didn't take the bait, and gave her a marriage to the second young master of the Hou Mansion, when he first entered the door, he was also self-respecting, always holding everyone's beautiful and famous daughters, and now it seems that he obviously doesn't have that patience.

As soon as Liang heard the words of the second old lady, his face turned red, and he guessed that he was an elder in front of him, and he couldn't scold casually, but in front of Cui Manru's little slut, she was ridiculed like this, how could she bear it: "I don't know which old lady this old lady belongs to?" I am the master of this Hou Mansion, but I am teaching a lesson to the people in my own house, you are welcome, Tete came to intervene, but I don't know what kind of truth this is! ”

The second old lady smiled instead, and called Chunying: "I don't know like juniors." Go teach me a few lessons. ”

Chunying was thinking that Man Ruzhen had become the concubine of the second young master, and when she heard the words of the second old lady, she responded, thought for a while, and stepped forward and said: "Second young grandmother, this is the old lady of Dongfu, your uncle and grandmother, it has been some time since she returned to Beijing, and she has also come to visit the old lady here, and the younger generations of the Hou Mansion have all seen it, presumably you were not there that day, and you never had time to come to visit, so you don't recognize it." It's just that, since you don't need to be informed by someone to guide the way, the elders who came here directly are naturally relatives of your family, as a junior, even if you don't recognize it, you should say hello, how can you be so rude?! He also said that our old lady interfered with your discipline of the people in the house. The second grandmother has to be disciplined, where can she not be disciplined? I prefer to discipline in front of the old lady's house. scolded people to the point of crying wolves, and they were not afraid of alarming the elders?! The old lady is sick this autumn and winter, and she is getting better, and she is about to recuperate, you are a granddaughter-in-law, not to mention filial piety in front of the elders, why do you want to add trouble to the elders? Our old lady stopped you to teach you the truth of being a junior, lest you make mistakes again and again, don't you say that you are grateful for our old lady's teaching, and the wicked person sues first, which will inevitably disappoint your good reputation as the first celebrity in the world, right? ”

Liang listened all the way, and his face went red all the way, and in the end it was already red to black, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What are you, a little girl, who dares to say such a thing to me?!" Suddenly, she felt a little familiar: "Are you from this mansion?!" What a guts! So rude to me! ”

Chunying was not intimidated by her at all: "The second young grandmother is everyone's best girl, why did she forget the rules?" When you first entered the door that day, you taught the girl in this house a lesson, but you ordered your own girl to speak. This is the self-respect of the master, and the meaning of not seeing the same as the people below. When our old lady saw that you were a junior, she didn't want to refute your face and embarrass your parents, so she ordered us to be the girl's substitute, in fact, what we said was what our old lady meant. Naturally, I don't dare to be rude to the second young grandmother, but can't our old lady even discipline the younger daughter-in-law for a few words? ! Second young grandmother, you are a person who knows etiquette, you might as well think about it! ”

Liang's face was even more ugly, and the second old lady was quite satisfied with Chunying's words. nodded lightly: "Forget it, she can't listen, no matter how much she says, it's useless." Go back and remind me to tell your wife, looking for the daughter of the people in Beijing, you have to inquire carefully, if you want to come to this Beijing family, there are many things that are not worthy of the name. Ignoring the Liang family, holding Qiu Yan's hand and going straight to the courtyard gate, the old lady's side Wenyu had already heard the news and came out, holding the other arm of the second old lady, and walked forward slowly, saying that the old lady had been waiting for a long time.

Liang saw that the little girls in the courtyard poked their heads to peek at themselves, and there were mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law around them who were talking in private, feeling extremely embarrassed, ashamed and annoyed, kicked Kai Manru, and glared at her: "It's all you slut!" See if I go back and don't fry your skin! With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Manru trembled and got up, turned to Chunying with tears in her eyes, a faint jealousy in her eyes, and a little joy: "Chun'er, you are here to save ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Chun Ying interrupted her: "Aunt Cui? Or should I call you girl? ”

Manru's face turned pale, and she squeaked and didn't speak. Then the daughter-in-law smiled and said: "This is Miss Man, but the second young master's heart!" Causing the people around him to snicker. Manru bit her lower lip tightly, her hands twisted with a handkerchief, and there was a bit of resentment in her eyes.

Chun Ying saw that she had really become the second young master's roommate, so she said lightly: "Since you are a girl in the second young master's house, please persuade your grandmother more, in front of the elders, don't forget the etiquette." Then he turned and entered the courtyard gate, ignoring her tearful eyes and her calls.

Chunying entered the main house, and when she saw that there was no one in the house, she was puzzled. Nuan Yu next to him greeted him: "The old lady and the second old lady are in the warm pavilion." Then he paused, "It turns out that you went to Dongfu." ”

After Nanqi got married, Nuan Yu served in Miss Cousin's courtyard for a period of time, and she was considered an acquaintance, so she naturally knew what happened to the sisters at the beginning, she was an old lady, and she was not implicated, but she was not without ideas in her heart. Now that I suddenly met Chunying again, I was naturally full of emotion.

Chunying's nose was sour, she held back, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to the others?" Nuan Yu also lowered her voice: "After the eldest and youngest grandmothers took over the housework, they all sent new errands, but they were just messing around." Come with me, lest you ask. Chunying knew that now was not the time to catch up, so she hurriedly followed into the inner room.

The old lady and the two were chatting about what happened outside the hospital, and the old lady sighed: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of my younger brothers and sisters, I really can't do anything with these juniors!" I'm just better, thinking that the weather is good today, and I'm going to go to the courtyard for a walk, but who knows that Liang came to sit early in the morning, neither know how to laugh, nor do I fit in, I joked with my granddaughters, and she had to put a cold face next to her. The one who came with her...... I remember that it was my daughter-in-law's girl who gave Brother Chang, what was it called...... Manru, who opened his face, his mouth was quite sweet, and he coaxed my wife to laugh a few times, who knew that Liang immediately took someone to retire, and scolded him as soon as he went out. I heard it all in there! Isn't this disgusting for my wife's uselessness?! ”

The second old lady comforted: "Her tutor is not good, just teach her slowly." If you really don't want to see her, you don't have to wake up in the morning and dusk, and you don't have to be angry. We're all old, so why bother asking for it? He asked Chunying again: "How is she now?" ”

Chunying stepped forward and said with a smile: "Back to the old lady, as soon as you entered the door with your front foot, the second young grandmother left with her back foot, and scolded the one who passed through the room." He said he was going to fry her skin. But the whole room took the slave and the maid, and wept and asked the slave and the maid to save her, but the slave and the maid did not know what to do. ”

The second old lady took a sip of tea casually: "They are all ignorant, this is their own family business, you don't pay attention to her." Chunying answered and stood back beside her.

The old lady took a serious look at Chunying, and Chunying knew that she mostly remembered herself, so she smiled at her. The old lady exclaimed, "This is not ...... I remember it was called Chunying, wasn't it? When Riyi'er lived here, you served her for a few years, didn't you already let her out?! How did it come...... Dongfu went? ”

Chunying glanced at the second old lady, who smiled faintly: "The old lady asks you, you just tell the truth." Chunying thought about it for a while, then stepped forward and said with a smile: "Back to the old lady, the slave accidentally said the wrong thing, offended the wife, and the whole family was driven to the village." After half a year, I saw that my wife seemed to have lost her anger, and I happened to meet someone from Dongfu, so I went to try, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to be in front of our old lady on an errand, isn't it a great blessing? ”

The second old lady smiled and said to the old woman: "I look good at this girl, it just so happened that Sister Yi passed by me last year, and mentioned a few beloved girls, all of whom are very capable, including her, so as soon as I saw her coming, I stayed." But I didn't know that she was released, why had she never heard of it? When the housekeeper registered in the register, he also said that her name was on the list here, and it was clear, and there was no record of releasing her, and he specially found the head of your family and transferred her to us. ”

The old lady's face was a little ugly, and she only asked Chunying: "You said that your family was thrown away?" What do you do? ”

Chunying said with a smile: "Back to the old lady, the slave's father is the shopkeeper of the silk Zhuangzi, and he has been working for many years. Now he is just staying in the village, and there is no errand. ”

The old lady's face was even more ugly. Although she has been ill for a long time, she has also vaguely heard about the major events that have happened in her family. In order to install cronies, the daughter-in-law An changed the position of steward in several places, but as a result, she used people improperly, which caused public resentment to boil, and finally she couldn't clean it up, so she let her son take away the power of the housekeeper. Since this Chunying's Lao Tzu has been a steward for a few years, I think it was planted at that time?

At this time, the second old lady asked Chunying again: "It's the first time I've heard that your Lao Tzu is a shopkeeper, why didn't you mention it to me?" Chunying replied with a smile: "I lost all my errands, and I don't have the face to say it." At that time, the wife was very angry, although the slave maid did not understand what the reason was, but now that I think about it, the old lady was very sick at that time, and maybe the wife was also in a hurry. ”

Now the old lady is even more angry, she is seriously ill, and her daughter-in-law doesn't take what she says seriously, she understands that she wants to release the people from the house, and she actually turns around and chases her?! Is it because she resented herself and ordered her to return her son-in-law's property to the Huo family? Or did you think that you couldn't get better, so you made a fortune?! No matter what it is, it's extremely hateful, and what's even more hateful is that she actually told her granddaughter's girls that they were all released! A few girls are small, but she doesn't take herself into account for such a small thing, so how can she endure it? !

At this time, a girl came to report: "Mrs. heard that the second old lady is coming, so she came to meet her." Then came the daughter-in-law's voice, with two points of weakness: "Auntie is really a rare guest, why don't you often come to sit?" After that, An Shi opened the curtain and came in, and saluted the old lady with a smile, but unexpectedly, the old lady pulled down her face and shouted at her: "You still have the face to see me?!" An couldn't help but be stunned.

The old lady was about to scold her, but suddenly remembered that the concubine was on the side, and told the other party to know that her daughter-in-law was disrespectful to her mother-in-law, which was also a shameless thing, so she waited for the other party to leave, so she glared at her daughter-in-law and said nothing.

An was confused, she didn't understand why her mother-in-law suddenly scolded herself, and she was feeling wronged, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a familiar girl standing next to the second old lady, and took a serious look, she was actually by Huo Yi's side in the past, and she had been driven to the countryside by herself, how could she appear here? ! Immediately shocked and angry: "What's the matter with you girl?!" If you don't have a good life in the village, why did you run to your aunt's side?! How daring! ”

Chunying sneered in her heart, lowered her head, changed her aggrieved eyes, and glanced at the second old lady, the second old lady was unhappy, and felt that the big girl next to her was called the younger daughter-in-law in the next room to count like this, and she really lost face, so she said lightly: "Zhang's daughter-in-law is confused!" Didn't you say that the idle children in the two houses are chosen by our family? Why did I pick someone, you don't recognize it?! It's just that this girl is already on our family roster, she is my person, and it is not your turn to take care of it! ”

An Shi was stunned, barely squeezed out a smile, and was about to explain, but heard his mother-in-law scold: "You don't respect yourself at home, forget it, why are you so rude in front of your aunt?!" Get out! I can't accommodate a Buddha like you here! ”

An only felt full of grievances and embarrassment, and reluctantly bowed and retired, but did not forget his intention: "Auntie...... Fang is mine, isn't it...... I make amends to you! My younger brother and sister don't come to sit down these days, and I have to ask my aunt to give me a message so that she can come and see me......"

The second old lady picked up the tea bowl: "When she is free, she will naturally come." "Let's drink tea.

Ahn departed in a huff. Chun Ying was happy in her heart, and seeing that the atmosphere around her was a little stiff, she whispered to the second old lady: "Old lady, didn't you say that you wanted to discuss the Buddha's birthday with the eldest old lady before you came?" ”

The second old lady smiled: "Exactly, I almost forgot about it." So he discussed it with the old woman. Chunying occasionally found an opportunity to laugh, and Onyx, Amber and others beside the old lady also saw the opportunity to interject, and the scene finally came back.

When it was almost lunchtime, the second old lady was going back to her house, and the old lady was reluctant to ask her to come often. Chunying helped the second old lady out of the sedan chair, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of someone hiding behind the pillar not far away to peek, and after a closer look, it turned out to be the third young master, who was squeezing his eyebrows at him, as if he was calling himself.

She smiled slightly, turned around and ordered the mother-in-law who carried the sedan chair: "Let's go." Then he held the side of the sedan chair and went all the way to the second door.
