Mama Chang sent Mrs. He back to Sun's room, Sun was talking to licorice, and she didn't care when she saw Mama Chang lift the curtain and enter the house.

"When did the eldest daughter-in-law have to ask a grandmother for instructions on such a trivial matter as Xia Yi? She's the lady of the house, and it's cheap. Sun's voice was a little cold.

"The eldest lady thinks it's because Mama Li is the old lady next to you, and asking Mama Li's opinion is also respectful of you." Mama Chang said to Sun.

Sun snorted coldly when he heard this: "It's a pity that she has this heart, but I didn't receive it." ”

Mama Chang and Licorice both knew that Sun would not listen to persuasion at this time, so they stopped talking.

"Where's Mama Li?" Sun said suddenly.

Licorice replied, "The steward over there in the kitchen just sent someone to call Mama Li away. ”

Sun was silent for a while and then said, "Don't reveal anything yet, I want to see what they can give me." ”

Mama Chang and Licorice glanced at each other, and they both bowed their heads in response.

At this time, the little girl outside reported: "The third lady is here." ”

Several people in the room were stunned, and Sun frowned and said, "Didn't you just leave?" ”

Mama Chang glanced at Sun and sighed. The old lady has never liked the third miss very much because of the third lady's biological mother, the Zhao family, although she still takes care of the fifth young master from the Zhao family, she is far from being as affectionate as the eldest young master of the big house.

Chang Mama saw Gan Song follow Sanniang and enter together, so she withdrew from Sun's main room.

Sanniang stepped forward and saluted Sun.

"What else? Didn't I just tell you to go back? Sun was already in a bad mood because of Mama Li's affairs, and he was a little stern when he said this.

Sanniang glanced at Sun a little timidly when she heard this, as if she knew Sun's dislike, she bit her lip and was a little aggrieved, but she still tried her best to make herself smile.

"Grandmother, Sanniang was originally back in the yard, but she ......" Sanniang turned around and took two purses from Bai Guo, who was following behind, put them on Sun's small table, and said, "It's just, after I go back, I will open the purse and see these." Sanniang didn't know what to do, so she had to come to see her grandmother again. ”

Licorice stepped forward and opened the two purses, and took out the mutton fat jade Buddha and the golden pearls.

Licorice and licopine were also shocked when they saw these two, but they didn't want the meeting gift given by the He family to be so valuable. Such mutton fat jade and priceless gold pearls are extremely rare.

"Sanniang knows that both are worth a lot." Sanniang glanced at Sun carefully: "Sanniang is not familiar with Mrs. He, if you want to give a meeting gift only because of the relationship between your cousin and nephew, then only Sanniang has other brothers and sisters, but there are none, it is a little unreasonable." Sanniang is in this house, and only grandmother can help Sanniang pay attention, if grandmother thinks Sanniang disturbs your rest, then, Sanniang will go back to the yard first. These are too valuable, so I still leave them to my grandmother for safekeeping. ”

When Sun saw the jade and the golden pearl, and listened to Sanniang's words, his face turned a little. Seeing Sanniang's envious and cautious timid expression, she softened her heart for two points.

She has never been very close to this granddaughter, and when she sees her, she will think of the Zhao family, and then think of the situation when the Tai Lady Lu was there, so since the death of the Zhao family, she has also left this granddaughter to fend for herself.

Today, Sanniang is uneasy because she received valuable things, and now the only person in the whole house who can give Sanniang ideas is really her own grandmother. Thinking that Sanniang also glanced at her when she received the He family's meeting gift, and dared to accept it when she nodded, she was even more determined. It's just that I also thought in my heart that this granddaughter is too cautious, if she raises a small family that can't see the world, she will marry in the future, and the Wang family will have no face.

Thinking of this, the expression on Sun's face softened a little, but his voice was still stern: "I'm not good at dealing with things, and I know that it's good to ask my elders." It's just that you are the young lady of the Wang family, and you can't learn from the woman of the small family and twist and pinch, and you can't get on the stage. Although today's greeting gift is precious, it is not something you can't afford to bear, so you don't have to feel uneasy. ”

Sanniang's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she blushed slightly and said happily and a little excitedly: "Sanniang thank my grandmother for mentioning it, Sanniang remembers, and she will act in the future to follow her grandmother's teachings, be generous and decent, and never disgrace the reputation of Miss Wang." ”

Hearing Sanniang's words, and thinking that this granddaughter is also gentle and obedient on weekdays, Sun nodded with satisfaction, and pointed to the two purses on the small table and said, "Since the He family gave it to you, you can take it." You are also older, and you should have a few decent jewelry pendants on your body, and the beads will be kept when the time comes, and you will find a gold shop to make a pullover and carry it. ”

Sanniang's eyes were a little moist when she heard this, she sniffed lightly, and said with a smile: "Granddaughter, thank you grandmother." ”

Sun nodded and asked Licorice to return the purse to Sanniang. Sanniang took it and handed it to Baiguo to collect.

"Then the granddaughter will not disturb her grandmother's study of the scriptures, and the granddaughter will retire first." Sanniang glanced at the scripture book resting on the side of Luohan's bed, and retired with a smile.

Sun waved his hand, and Sanniang saluted and withdrew.

Mama Chang walked out of Sun's main house, and saw Bai Ying next to Sanniang entering the backyard from a distance, so she also walked to the backyard. didn't know that a small figure was also behind her.

"Why is the girl here now? But what's the matter? Mama Chang followed Bai Ying into her room, turned around and closed the door, and asked.

Bai Ying nodded and said, "Early this morning, Mama Li went to the Hefeng Courtyard. ”

Mama Chang was surprised: "...... did she go to Hefeng Courtyard?" ”

Bai Ying sighed: "She didn't know where she learned that our young lady had a relationship with Mama, and she went to Hefeng Courtyard to revisit the old matter in front of Mama Zhao, and Mama Zhao fell ill after hearing about it." ”

Hearing this, Mama Chang was worried: "How can that be?" Is Mama Zhao's body in the way? And the plans on our side? ”

Bai Ying looked at Mama Chang's room and pulled Mama Chang to sit on the kang by the window.

"I asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, and said that it was no big deal, but Mama Zhao is old after all, and she is still lying in bed and can't wake up." Bai Ying sighed: "You know that the relationship between our young lady and Mama Zhao is incomparable to anyone, Mama Zhao is the nursing mother of the third lady of the young lady, and since the death of the third lady, she has taken care of the young lady like her own eyes." Therefore, Mama Zhao's illness, our young lady, a bodhisattva like a clay child, is also angry. ”

Mama Chang also sighed when she heard this: "According to the relationship between the third lady and Mama Zhao, this is also human nature." ”

Bai Ying smiled bitterly: "Isn't it? Our young lady said that Mama Li was sick with Mama Zhao, and she would not let Mama Li feel better. ”

Mama Chang was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Bai Ying. Judging from the contact these days, the third lady would not say such childish gambling words.

Bai Ying saw Mama Chang looking over, winked at Mama Chang, and said: "Miss said that the He family came today to make friends with the old lady through the fact that the eldest lady bought Zhuangzi from the He family, but accidentally let the old lady know that the eldest lady took advantage of the convenience of buying Zhuangzi from the He family and her mother's brother to take the opportunity to occupy the best acres of the He family at a very low price, and let the Wang family buy some middle and low-grade land at a higher price. ”

Mama Chang cleared her throat: "Well, I was also in the room today, so I naturally heard about it." But what does this have to do with Mama Li? ”

Bai Ying pursed her lips and smiled: "The old lady is angry today because of her hatred for the eldest lady and her mother's family to plot against her mother-in-law's family, as if she wants to invite the third lady of Datong to come back and take over the housekeeper of the eldest lady." The third lady said that Mama Li dared to bully her like this, that is, the old man and lady in the third room were all in Datong, and only their brothers and sisters were left in the old mansion and had no one to rely on. But Mama Li naturally didn't take her seriously because she relied on the momentum of the big house. If the eldest lady loses her power, and the third lady can return to the housekeeper of the old mansion, her life with the fifth young master may be better. ”

"Is the young lady going to ......?"

"The young lady has just gone to the old lady's room, and said that she wants the old lady to take pity on her and the fifth young master without parents to teach, and ask the third lady of Datong to come back to the old house. Miss wants to ask Mama Chang for your help, in front of the old lady for the third lady to say a few kind words, and when Mama Li loses her power, with the old lady's trust in Mama Chang, you can naturally replace Mama Li as the housekeeper in the backyard of this palace. ”

Mama Chang was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "The slave should do her best." ”

A figure flashed outside the window, and a small figure withdrew from the backyard with a cat.

As soon as Mama Li returned from the kitchen to the inverted room of Songling Courtyard, she saw a little girl panting and running in with the curtain lifted.

Mama Li raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Where did you come from, the unruly dead girl, isn't her skin tight?" ”

The girl was so frightened that she shouted, "Yes, it's a slave, Banxia." ”

Mama Li took a serious look, the face of the girl in front of her was a little red, a few broken hairs scattered and stuck to the sweaty face, and there were one or two small leaves on the bun on the top of her head, which was the new little girl Banxia in Sun's courtyard.

Mama Li frowned: "Are you chasing a ghost?" Look at your face, it's really a shame for this Songling Academy. ”

Banxia glanced at Mama Li timidly and became restrained, but when she thought of the news she had just heard, she was excited again, and her already red face turned a little red. The mother always asked her to behave well in front of Mama Li, if she made a meritorious service, she would be able to gain Mama Li's trust in the future, and then be reused by the old lady, maybe there would be a chance to be an aunt for a young master to be a roommate. Banxia is still young, and she still doesn't know what her aunt is, but her mother said that it is ten thousand times more noble than the big girl, she can wear gold and silver, and someone will serve her. Thinking about the big girl in Sun's room that I saw in Songling Courtyard, the word aunt made Banxia yearn for it.
