"Ah, then, what then?" Grandma Qi San was out of idea by Mama Zhang's words, and hurriedly asked.

Mama Zhang sighed.

"Hey, the fourth master is the most loved by the old lady. The status of the fourth master in the mansion, the third grandmother also knows. ”

"It's different now," said the third grandmother, "and he always listens to what his wife says." ”

"Not everyone is like the third master and the third grandmother, who never dare to disobey the eldest master and the eldest wife." Mama Zhang sighed.

"Ask Mama to think of a way to save people to the end." Grandma Qi San begged.

Mama Zhang pursed her lips and smiled.

This is something that a slave shouldn't say, but it's really unfair for grandma. Needless to say, the fourth grandmother is now pregnant, but she is the first one in this house. Grandma's background, and Brother Mao, is so smart and strong, but it's, hey. ”

Grandma Qi heard what Mama Zhang said, as if she had suddenly found a confidant.

"What Mama said is not," Grandma Qi wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "In this mansion, the eldest grandmother doesn't talk about her, the second grandfather is the eldest grandson of the long house, and the second grandmother is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, so it's okay for them to do anything." It's just that in that courtyard, our third master is the elder brother, and I can't compare to her. Now that she has a body, it's like she's pregnant with a golden egg. After a few years of being outside, he covered the sky with one hand, and only got a sister, but he raised a boy of unknown origin. Pity my brother Mao'er, but the serious master in the house, now he only has one ** two girls, and he has only the rest of his food and clothing, and he can't even compare to a slave boy."

When it comes to this topic, Grandma Qi San seems to have endless words.

"It's really a different life. Speaking of which, the fourth grandmother is still a concubine, and the grandmother is a pampered daughter in her mother's family. The fourth master is like this now, who knows, he and the third master are the same. Mama Zhang echoed.

"Mama said it to my heart." Grandma Qi San nodded again and again, "This is the case in this house, but I look down on our master is a concubine, but the fourth master is"

After saying half a sentence, Grandma Qi San realized that there was something wrong with Mama Zhang's words.

"What did Mama say? The third master and the fourth master are the same? Grandma Qi San was like a cat smelling fish, and she hurriedly asked Mama Zhang.

Mama Zhang showed a look of remorse and slapped herself. "Look at my mouth." Then he smiled again, "The third master and the fourth master are both masters in the house, aren't they the same." ”

No matter how Grandma Qi San asked, Mama Zhang was just perfunctory, but she was obviously weak-hearted, and after a while, she excused herself and left.

"Mama Zhang is an old man next to the second wife, and this will not be nonsense." After sending Mama Zhang away, Grandma Qi San sat down on the couch and discussed with Aunt Yan, "Isn't Qi Yu born by his wife?" ”

The relationship between Second Mrs. Qi and Qi Yu has never been close. Some of the things that happened between mother and son, Grandma Qi San also knew. It's just that everyone in this mansion knows that the second lady of Qi injured her body when she gave birth to Qi You and couldn't take care of Qi You, so Qi You grew up in front of the Rong family, which caused a relatively estranged relationship between their mother and son.

Isn't that the case? It's because Qi You is not the biological son of Second Mrs. Qi.

The more Grandma Qi San thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, in this big family, there were many children raised in the name of their mother-in-law for various reasons, and the mode of getting along was not as good as the second lady of Qi treated Qi You. It's just that Qi You has the support of the Rong family, so there is today's situation.

"It turns out that he didn't crawl out of his wife's stomach," Grandma Qi San clapped her hands and walked around on the ground excitedly, "Ha, now I can grab the handle." I'm afraid that they don't know it yet, and they still think that their status is noble, so they are a blessed land. Hmph, I've got the handle now, I'm going to see if I'm going to make it difficult for them to protect themselves, and see how they hurt my eldest brother. ”

Grandma Qi San muttered to herself, her eyes burning.

"Grandma, you have to inquire about whether this is true." Aunt Yan saw it on the side and reminded.

"Yes, if there is real evidence, I am not afraid that they will not admit it when the time comes." Grandma Qi San turned her head to Aunt Yan and said, "This is related to the third master and our yard." Yan'er, you can help me come up with an idea. ”

Aunt Yan Su Ri is extremely clever and has a way, and saving Uncle Cai this time is her idea. Grandma Qi San therefore looked at Aunt Yan with anticipation.

Aunt Yan turned her gaze to the luodian screen underground, smiling rather than smiling.

Grandma Qi San wanted to pretend to be stupid, but Aunt Yan was even more calm. In the end, Grandma Qi San gave in, gritted her teeth and asked people to carry the screen to Aunt Yan's house.

"If you want to know what happened back then, you have to ask the people of that year." Aunt Yan then spoke, "The little girl Yingge sprinkled in the yard, her grandmother was originally an old man in the house, and now she has already gone home to recuperate, listening to Yingge, the old lady also rewarded her with a pension silver." This old lady of the Zhen family was originally the girl of the second master, and she has been working as an errand in the New Year's Hall since then, and she is also very decent in front of the old lady. Counting it up, wasn't the fourth master born in those years? ”

"Are you saying that you should also ask the old lady of the Zhen family to ask?" Grandma Qi San asked, "Then go and find it." ”

"Listening to Yingge, her grandmother lives in the countryside now, and she doesn't go out easily." Aunt Yan said with a smile, "Grandma, the daughter of the old lady of the Zhen family, the mother of Yingge, is the aunt Zhen on the pulp wash, I want her to invite, but I am afraid that she will be invited." ”

After Aunt Yan finished speaking, she covered her sleeves and smiled.

Grandma Qi San is cheeky. The last time the gambling money was caught by Xun Qingran, all the money of several leaders, including her, was collected. Aunt Zhen also had more than a dozen taels of silver to collect profits from her, and naturally she was also taken away. Aunt Zhen asked for it once later, but she only said that she was taken away, and she couldn't. Now I want to call Aunt Zhen to invite the old lady of the Zhen family to come, that

However, if Qi You's background can really be confirmed from the Zhen family's mother, then she can not only raise her eyebrows, but step on Ning Yuanju's head in the future, but also avenge her eldest brother, and avoid Qi You's trouble with her eldest brother again. Compared with these, she still knows which is more important than these, but if she wants to take out the silver, it will inevitably hurt.

Aunt Yan seemed to see through what Grandma Qi San was thinking, so she just smiled and said nothing.

"You go and call Yingge," Grandma Qi finally made a decision.

After the middle of summer, the blue sky is getting higher and farther, the weather is getting cooler, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year in a blink of an eye.

Xun Qing's belly has been significantly prominent, and the condition of the joy has naturally improved, and his appetite has become extraordinarily good.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old and young of Qi Mansion gathered together for a family banquet. When a bright moon hung high in the sky, the Rong family was very interested, so he took all the women to the flower hall outside to enjoy the moon.

The flower hall in the garden faces a pool of clear water, and behind it are heavy flowers and trees. Grandma Qi took down all the partitions in the flower hall with someone, moved Rong's low couch, and set up some tables and chairs in the flower hall.

The Rong family sat on the low couch, and the eldest lady and the second lady Qi accompanied them with all the daughters. The cool breeze in the flower hall was slow, and the sound of silk and bamboo came from afar, because it was separated from the water, and the sound added some ethereal meaning, which was specially arranged according to Rong's requirements.

After a while, Grandma Qi Er brought the little girls up with a few drawers of steamed crabs and warm rice wine.

"You have a body, but this crab is inedible." Rong glanced at Xun Qing's waist and abdomen, who was peeling the shell of the crab, and said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I'm usually just ordinary with this crab, but now when I can't eat it, I really want to eat it." Xun Qing smiled.

Rong knew that after Xun Qing dyed his body, his mouth became a little awkward, and he was very indulgent about it.

"I know this, and when I was pregnant with the second master, I was the same." Yung Road.

Hearing Rong talk about the old things, everyone laughed.

Rong's beckoned a little girl over, "Go to my kitchen and tell Fan Liang's family to make a vegetarian crab for the fourth grandmother." ”

The little girl agreed and got busy.

Fan Liang's family in Rong's small kitchen is well-known for making good vegetarian dishes.

"I'm biased over the old lady's stuff again." Xun Qing smiled.

"Sister Xuan'er at that time, when you were outside, the old lady always said that she didn't see you. The old lady is now going to make up for it, and she is cheaper than you gluttonous girl. Grandma Qi Er smiled.

"If you want to talk about gluttonous girls," Xun Qingran rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "I don't know which one, because I am pregnant and count nine cold days, I want fresh peaches to eat, and if I can't eat it in my mouth, I can't sleep, and in the end it's the second master."

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Grandma Qi Er hurriedly brought a fruit plate and handed it to Xun Qingran, cutting off Xun Qingran's words.

"Good sister, eat a fruit, I know it's wrong." Qi Er's grandmother laughed together.

"You're good, it's okay, spare you." Xun Qingran smiled and didn't say any more.

Everyone ate hot wine, talked and laughed. Xun Qingran suddenly found that Yan Mingyue was no longer in the flower hall at some point.

Xun Qingran stood up, walked to the side, and asked the little girl who was waiting. The little girl pointed to the pavilion at the end of the flower hall, Xun Qingran looked over, and saw Yan Mingyue standing alone in the pavilion, holding on to the railing, and her figure in the moonlight looked extremely lonely.

Xun Qingran sighed softly and walked over.

"Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow will become a trio." Xun Qingran called, "Sister Mingyue"

"Sister Dye." Yan Mingyue turned her head when she heard the voice.

Xun Qingran was slightly stunned, and Yan Mingyue's eyes were still full of tears under the moonlight.

"The old lady treats me as if I am my own granddaughter, and the sisters are all affectionate when they are in the same place. Today is the day of family reunion, and I am the only one here, my stepmother, surnamed Yan, who gave birth to a younger brother and sister, and my father can only ask me a word or two in his letter. Although my stepmother asked me to go back, it was just talking, not sincerely."

Yan Mingyue said, crying in a low voice.

Xun Qingran had to pat Yan Mingyue's back and comfort her softly.

"The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people are happy and sorrowful, and this matter is difficult to complete. My sister is a smart person, and she should understand this truth. Xun Qingran said, "I advise my sister, happiness, is to cherish what you have now." Only in this way will you firmly hold the happiness in your hands and have the opportunity to get what you want. ”

"Do you cherish what you have?" Yan Mingyue looked down at her hands.

Xun Qingran nodded, "Yes." ”

Yan Mingyue raised her head and looked at Xun Qingran, "Sister Dye, thank you." ”

Xun Qingran took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped away the tears for Yan Mingyue.

"Let's go back, you've been out for a long time, the old lady has to worry." Xun Qing said.

As soon as the two of them walked into the flower hall, they saw a mess on the pavilion on the west side of the flower hall, and there was a faint cry of children.

"What's wrong?" Xun Qingran heard the cry, and her heart tightened.
