Qiu Yehong pursed her lips and took it, Xiaoju is a girl bought from outside, most of the children in the small kitchen are born in the family, and she always thinks that she is not confident enough to be bullied everywhere, knowing that Qiu Yehong is begging for life in a miscellaneous yard on the side, and she rushed over to say good things and do some odd jobs, and suddenly felt that her status was not as good as herself, and she was very polite in her words.

The current head of the rich family has three sons and a daughter, since the children got married, they are so troublesome that they let the house go out to live, and now only the eldest son's family lives with him in the ancestral house.

Mrs. Fu died early, and several aunts had low status, so the inner house of the rich family has always been in the hands of the rich family's daughter-in-law, Zheng.

Zheng is 45 years old this year, born in Lin'an Mansion, Shili family, his grandfather was a bachelor of Hanlin, after marrying into a rich family, only one thing is not enough, only three daughters, never a man.

Zheng is virtuous, took four concubines for the eldest lord, got three sons, because the mother of the second son and concubine died early, adopted under the name of his wife, and became a righteous young master.

Qiu Yehong had just heard about these things from Xiao Ju's mouth, but she didn't plan to mix around in the rich family compound for a long time, and she wasn't interested in these gossips, so she listened to them casually, but when it came to this big young master, Xiao Ju's eyes lit up.

"The eldest young master reads well, and he will be able to become an official master after taking the exam again next year....."

Well, Qiu Yehong doesn't understand the procedures of the imperial examination, and she doesn't understand what is said at all, but if you think of a rich family, it should be normal for your children and grandchildren to be officials.

"The eldest young master is humble and polite, he has never beaten and scolded his subordinates, if anyone is assigned to the eldest young master, it will be a great blessing....."

This, Qiu Yehong thinks that she still likes to start her own business and is unwilling to work for others, especially in this era.

Gossip all the way, until the courtyard of the eldest lady Zheng did not stop, Qiu Yehong stared intently, this is completely different from the courtyard where the girls live, there are many maids and women who come and go, but they are all silent, look at the dress of the mothers-in-law, all of them are extraordinary, wearing gold and silver, obviously the housekeepers and mothers-in-law in the house.

Xiao Ju and Qiu Yehong didn't dare to venture in, Xiao Ju accompanied Xiao Xiao and asked a few small people standing on both sides of the gate, saying that they were looking for Sister Qingluan, those little girls didn't even say anything, only pointed their hands, and the two of them hurriedly entered the corner gate along the path.

Entering is a side yard, there are seven or eight third-class maids are standing in it, Xiao Ju entered such an occasion for the first time, suddenly a little ashamed, tiptoed forward and asked, raised the second girl's command, and there was a girl with thin eyebrows and long eyes waved her hand and said, "Come with me." ”

After passing through the hall, I saw a three-room two-entry building in front of me, a standard southern building, elegant and delicate, Qiu Yehong only looked up, hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look around, before he went up the steps, he heard a faint cry coming from inside, mixed with this woman's voice and said: "........ said that he picked me up..... but brought that fox charmer... In front of so many relatives, this is not a slap in the face........"

As soon as this voice came, Qiu Yehong immediately retracted her feet, and subconsciously retreated, Xiaoju still followed forward without realizing it, and hit her head on the maid who had stopped her steps early, her face turned white with fright, and she apologized when she opened her mouth: "Sister, I didn't see ......"

The maid hurriedly turned around and waved at her, the sound in the room had stopped, and the curtain of Xiangfei at the back door was lifted, and a goose-egg-faced and apricot-eyed maid walked out, and said in a calm voice: "What are you doing?" I don't know if there's a guest! What are you doing again! ”

"Sister Qingluan, the second girl sent lotus flowers to his wife." The maid at the head hurriedly whispered.

Qiu Yehong quietly raised her eyes and looked, this is one of the lady's right-hand maids, Qingluan girl, about twenty years old, wearing this pink base shirt, covered with a light red armor, an apricot yellow skirt, although she is still girded, indicating the identity of the maid, but the momentum is not much worse than that of the girls and ladies.

"Where's Qingdai? Now it's getting bigger and bigger. Qingluan listened, and said so, but her voice softened, and while talking, she beckoned the two maids to come and take the flowers.

Xiao Ju was frightened by Fang Cai's collision, where can she care about replying, in line with the principle of not offending people innocently, Qiu Yehong had to open her mouth and laughed: "Sister Qingdai was originally coming, the maids in the yard were busy, she didn't dare to leave, and she let us come after thousands of instructions, and asked us to confess to Sister Qingluan." ”

Listening to her, Qingluan, who had already turned around, looked back again, looked Qiu Yehong up and down, and then smiled: "That's right, the girls of the in-laws are only afraid that they have already gone to the yard, she should be careful." ”

After that, he glanced at her again, and then went in with the maid holding the lotus, Xiaoju was relieved at this time, she had long forgotten about the reward, and turned around to leave, Qiu Yehong hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab it, and shook her head at her.

After a while, I heard a few low laughs from the women inside, and the curtain sounded, and the two maids who had gone in first came out and handed them two pieces of money.

"Madame rewards you."

Xiao Ju reacted at this time, and thanked her happily, and the two maids didn't bother to see them standing on their own.

“… If I hadn't pulled you, it would have been your turn to do this good errand. The two of them came out of the eldest lady's yard, Xiao Ju had regained her composure, counted the money in her hand in three times and two times, and her eyes fell on Qiu Yehong, and she was a little unconvinced.

Qiu Yehong knew what she meant, and she was a little angry in her heart, she wanted to sarcastically say a few words to her, and she thought that she was a person in her twenties, why bother with this child, let her mumble and ignore it if she didn't understand.

Xiao Jubai talked for a long time, but she didn't see Qiu Yehong having the intention of honoring herself, and she was even more angry, so she pulled her face and shook her arms and walked forward in annoyance.

As soon as he turned out the door, he saw a group of maids and women pouring out from the door of the main courtyard of his wife, Qiu Yehong was busy with his feet, stood still under a batch of trees, raised his head slightly, and saw a young man in a vermilion round-necked robe with a big red jade belt striding out, followed by a big girl who was wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, and then a few maids wearing gold and silver walked slowly.

This is the noble son-in-law in the capital? Qiu Yehong quietly raised her face again, and was just about to take a closer look, but she saw that the eldest aunt's buttocks were on fire, and as soon as she went out, it was like stepping on Hot Wheels, and she walked away in a few steps, leaving only Qiu Yehong with a decent back.

On the other hand, the eldest girl, who was still walking behind her husband, suddenly saw this person gone, suddenly stopped, turned her head and went in the opposite direction.

A group of maids and wives stared at each other, and consciously divided into two factions and went away.

Did the young couple quarrel? Autumn Yehong guessed with interest that the eldest girl is only twenty years old this year, and according to her concept, she has not yet reached the age of legal marriage.

There are a lot of people in the yard today, and when Autumn Leaves Hong returned to the small kitchen, he knew that the eldest aunt in the capital had come to pick up his daughter-in-law, and accompanied by a group of relatives and girls, came to Shaoxing Mansion to play.

"There are about three or four girls, four or five sons, and it is said that several of them are from princely families." Sister-in-law Song boiled hot tea to eat, sat on the small bench and said leisurely.

The girls and mothers-in-law in the kitchen have all been transferred to the big kitchen to help, and there is no place for them in the small kitchen today.

"Take the cook with you, tsk, the snacks made by Jane's lady in the past, no one will take ...... to see them" Sister-in-law Song said with a smile, watching people she doesn't like eat deflated is really a great joy in life.

"It's not that I told the girl in vain, the busier the house, the more we have to be ....... leisure" Sister-in-law Song suddenly changed her words, sat up straight and said.

Her niece Yun'er came in with a food box, and when she heard it, she pouted: "Auntie's strange idea, everyone rushed to go, but you didn't allow me to go to the garden to serve, just met Caiyun and them, and said, one by one, the young ladies and sons are like gods in the sky." ”

"Phew, what's wrong with the immortals? Don't expect to see the immortals, you can become an immortal yourself! Sister-in-law Song spat out, "Don't mess with those frivolous little hooves, honestly clean up the kitchen for me here!" There are benefits for you! Saying this, I saw Qiu Yehong pursing her lips and smiling on the side, sighed again, and said, "Big girl, don't laugh at me, you girls are young, what do you know ....."

Qiu Yehong nodded and said: "People often say that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you, and we remember what my aunt said, but we don't understand it now, and we will naturally understand it when we get older in the future." ”

Sister-in-law Song breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yun'er, who was a little unconvinced on the side, and said, "Yun'er, if you can have half of the governor of the eldest girl, I can close my eyes when I die, and I will be right about your dead father and mother....."

Seeing that she was talking about sad things again, Yun'er hurriedly interrupted: "I know, I know, I will study hard with the eldest girl in the future, aunt, you can rest assured." ”

After a few more gossips, Qiu Yehong got up and said goodbye, knowing that these guests would not be able to leave for two or three days, and that the girls' yard was full of people for a while and a half, and there was no need for her to do odd jobs, so she couldn't excuse herself.

"It's okay for you to go out for a walk," Sister-in-law Song nodded, and as if she remembered something, she took out a piece of paper from her waist, "I was dizzy a few days ago, and it happened that the doctor invited by the second girl took a look at it by the way and prescribed a prescription, I forgot that it didn't hurt these days, Sister Hui'er, you have to help me catch it back." ”

Qiu Yehong took it and looked at it, and saw that it was just a medicine like Gastrodia Cassia Stone, so she put it away and said goodbye.

It's really a visitor, when passing by the stable, Autumn Leaves Hong heard the noise inside as before, obviously there were more horses in the circle, and a small guy rushed out of it in a hurry, almost colliding with Autumn Leaves.

"Brother Ding," because he often passed here, Qiu Yehong and the little men in the stables also knew him, so he quipped, "Look at the sweat you run, but there is fruit in front of you?" ”

Brother Xiao Ding saw that it was her, because Qiu Yehong had instructed them to feed the horses, and was ridiculed by them at first, how did she know how to know how to livestock, and she didn't want to implement it to really work, and when she came and went, she unconsciously asked her if she had a problem, and then she was high, and pointed inward: "Sister Hui, you are good here, you can help me see if the horse is going crazy." ”

Autumn Yehong was startled, and hurriedly followed what he was pointing at, only to see that there was indeed an adult horse in the yard, with a dark body and shiny fur, but at this time it was very strange to turn around in the yard, and the mouth was snorting as if to bite his tail.

"It's not that I'm crazy, I'm afraid I'm sick." Autumn Yehong raised her feet and entered the stable yard as she spoke, and naturally rolled up her sleeves as she spoke.

"Sister Hui, be careful, don't get kicked, it's not fun." Brother Xiao Ding hurriedly instructed, hesitated for a moment, stomped his feet and said, "I'm going to find someone, Sister Hui'er don't go in." Then he ran away.

Qiu Yehong has already walked into the yard, and when she got closer, she saw that the horse was really breathing heavily, and the taste was sour, she was short, so she tiptoed and reached out to grab the reins of the horse, and said in her mouth, "Be good, show you the disease, the horse is sick", it seems to understand, but it did not resist, let Qiu Yehong diagnose the pulse.

"Hey! What are you doing! A male voice suddenly sounded behind him.
