Chapter Twenty-Nine: Forming Their Own Networks
"Can you see clearly?" Mama Li's voice was so flat that she couldn't hear joy or anger, but the cold eyes made Mama Liu and Banxia who were standing in front of her couldn't help but shudder.
Mama Li's eyes swept to Mama Liu's mother and daughter, and Mama Liu quickly came back to her senses and quietly touched Banxia's arm with her elbow.
"Return, go back to Mama, the maid has seen clearly. Mama Chang walked out of the yard from the sandwich road, and the maid followed her sneakily, and then saw her go to the Hefeng Courtyard. Banxia was a little nervous, and her speech was a little stumbling.
When Mama Li heard this, she lowered her eyes for a while: "Her niece is now on an errand in the third lady's room, and it is understandable that she is closer to that side." Have you seen any changes in her lately? ”
"Anomalies?" The little girl tilted her head in Banxia and asked puzzledly.
Mama Liu saw that Mama Li was a little impatient, so she hurriedly pinched Banxia: "Mama is asking her if she has come into contact with anyone other than being an errand in front of the old lady?" Something out of the ordinary has been done. ”
Banxia touched his arm, a little aggrieved. She grew up in the countryside, where did she know such new words. It can be seen that Niang Laozi is staring at herself, she hurriedly sniffed and said: "The maid was only today and was instructed by Mama to pay attention to Mama Chang's words and deeds on weekdays. The maid followed her for a while, and when she saw that she had indeed entered the Hefeng Courtyard, she hurried to report to her grandmother. Others, other maids have not yet been discovered. ”
Mama Li frowned when she heard this.
Seeing this, Mama Liu was a little anxious. She was afraid that if her daughter couldn't get into Mama Li's eyes, she might not be able to get ahead in this courtyard in the future. Therefore, as soon as she heard Mama Li talk about Mama Chang today, she took over this errand for her daughter.
Suddenly, Mama Liu's eyes lit up when she remembered something, and she leaned forward and said, "Mama, the slave maid has discovered something." ”
"Oh?" Mama Li raised her eyelids.
Mama Liu hurriedly took a step closer and said: "In recent days, Miss Bai Ying from Hefeng Courtyard has always gone to the backyard, and every time she stays at Mama Chang's for a short time, saying that she is asking for advice on planting orchids. But the slave maid felt that there must be a ghost in it. ”
Mama Li narrowed her eyes slightly: "Hefeng Courtyard? It's Hefuin again. ”
"Mama, you said, did this Mama Chang collude with the third lady to make trouble in front of the old lady?" Mama Liu whispered.
Mama Li snorted coldly when she heard this: "Just a little girl who is not spoiled and unspoiled? What the hell can they do? ”
Mama Liu remembered the third lady she had come into contact with when she went back to Qingming Temple, and she was indeed a soft and soft person who was easy to handle. But this suspicion was raised by himself, so naturally he would not say that he was worrying about the sky.
Mama Liu rolled her eyes: "Although these three young ladies are still young, the people around her have become fine." Mama, do you think, wasn't it because of the Hefeng Courtyard that the situation changed last time? The slave maid looked, that time it must have been the third young lady instigated by Mama Zhao behind her back. This time, maybe it's also that Mama Zhao......"
Mama Li pondered for a while when she heard this: "Last time, I also thought that the old woman was making trouble in the back, and she jumped up and down and refused to stop making trouble about a little thing in Hefeng Courtyard on weekdays, so I had to send her out of the house last time." ”
Speaking of which, Mama Li instructed Banxia to say: "In the future, you will keep an eye on Mama Chang for me, if that Bai Ying goes to the backyard again, you pay attention to what they say." ”
Banxia hurriedly bowed down.
Mama Li glanced at Banxia and said in a rambling voice: "If you give me a good errand, I will naturally not lose you." ”
Mama Liu was overjoyed when she heard this, and she was busy kowtowing for half a summer.
"Slave and maid Xie Mama took care of it. Mama don't worry, my girl is very obedient and clever, even if you have anything to do with her, there is nothing wrong with it. ”
Mama Li waved her hand impatiently and said, "Okay, you go down on an errand, I will naturally not forget your benefits after I have done my explanation." ”
Mama Liu happily went down with Banxia.
Mama Li half-leaned back in her chair, squinted her eyes and whispered, "Xiancao, do you really want to fight with me?" You haven't fought me in all these years, but this time I'm going to see what you can do! ”
Early the next morning, Sun got up and asked Mama Chang to comb her hair as usual.
Mama Chang took out a white jade carved Ruyi boy headband from a box with a red sandalwood hundred zi pattern and carefully put it on Sun's head.
Sun looked at the headband and smiled, "How did you find this?" I haven't worn it in years. ”
Chang Mama said: "Jade raises people, and people also raise jade." This headband has lost its aura after being dusty for a long time, and the old lady is now in good health, which just makes this jade also stained with aura. ”
Sun scolded with a smile: "You care about these things, but I, the master, don't pay attention to them." ”
Mama Chang hurriedly smiled and begged for mercy: "Look at what the old lady said, didn't the slave maid see that you cherish this headband, and you are afraid that it will be covered with dust and lose its aura, and you will be sad?" You see, this headband has been taken out like new all these years, doesn't it mean that the old lady treats it differently? ”
Hearing this, Sun raised his hand and stroked the headband on his head, and sighed a little: "This headband was sent by my sister-in-law back then." I didn't get pregnant in the first year of marrying into this house, and my sister-in-law was very worried after hearing about it, and I heard that there was a spiritual jade and I did everything possible to ask for it, and found a craftsman to carve this hoop, and also found a monk in the temple to pray for blessings. Strange to say, I had Bai'er soon after I put on this headband, and later gave birth to Dong'er. I saw that this headband was really a spiritual thing. ”
Mama Chang smiled: "Look, I said that the old lady cherishes this jade hoop, right?" ”
Hearing this, Sun shook his head with a smile: "The older you get, the more powerful this mouth becomes." I remember that you used to be like a gourd with a stuffy mouth, and you couldn't hold back a word for a long time, but now you have become an old grease mouth. ”
Mama Chang said: "Slave maid, isn't this relying on the old lady's favor?" In fact, how can the slave not know that you care about the affection of the old lady, not the headband itself. ”
Hearing this, Sun nodded and smiled: "You are a smart one." ”
Mama Chang also smiled: "If you are too stupid, you can't get to you, old lady." But speaking of my uncle's old lady, yesterday I heard a mother-in-law in the concierge say that a distant junior of the old lady came to visit the old lady, I don't know who is the old lady? ”
Sun was stunned when he heard this: "What relatives? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
Mama Chang was stunned: "Don't the old lady know?" The slave and maid heard about it by accident, but maybe it was wrong? ”
