After the incident, Chunying was a little worried that An would summon her over for questioning again. So I was worried for a few days. Seeing that An didn't mention it again, when he came to visit his sister-in-law Li every day, he just glanced at her with a faint expression, and his attention was on Li and Miss Huo, and he didn't stay on his head for a second, presumably because he didn't have any suspicions, so he settled down.

Mrs. Aunt's illness is always recurring, and when she is good, she can get up and go to the old lady's yard to talk to her mother for two quarters of an hour, and when she is not good, she can only lie in bed to recuperate. Miss Huo was worried, so she could only persuade her mother to take medicine and drink porridge while trying to coax her to be happy.

When An came to test the Huo family's property again, she only said that most of them had been cashed out into silver tickets and put them away, so she asked Aunt Qing to sort out the information and account books of the remaining two shops and a large grange, and sent them to An in front of the old lady and the Hou Ye, bowed her head and said: "Yi'er is young and has to take care of her mother, so she really can't be distracted, and I ask my aunt to bother more." ”

An's expression was very complicated, firstly, he was happy for Huo Yi's unexpected cooperation, but secondly, he felt that the Huo family could not only have this little bit of family background, and he was a little dissatisfied. Sanlai felt that Huo Yi was publicly handed over in front of her husband and mother-in-law, but she was afraid that she would not be able to do anything wrong, so she didn't pick it up for a long time. Sure enough, she heard the old lady say in the next second: "Poor thing, this child has no uncle or brother to rely on, that Master Huo is a stupid scholar, Brother Rong is too young, the daughter-in-law will help take care of it, and then hand it back when their sister and brother are older." ”

An Shi reluctantly squeezed out a kind smile, took the account book, held it tightly in his hand, and took Huo Yi's hand and said to the old lady: "The old lady speaks, and the daughter-in-law should obey." It's just that these properties are surnamed Huo, and they are taken care of by the stewards of the Huo family, and the daughter-in-law is an outsider, so it is not easy to interfere, so I am afraid that the stewards below will not accept it. ”

Huo Yi's eyelashes trembled, and he said softly: "No, Yi'er has already asked the housekeeper to pass the word to the people below, and the Hou Mansion is a close relative of the Huo family, so it is naturally different from other families." Uncle doesn't have to worry, if someone dares to disobey the order, my aunt just comes to Yi'er, and Yi'er will not spare him! ”

This is equivalent to not saying this, An Shi is still embarrassed, and said bitterly: "Yi'er, you are still young, how do you know the hearts of people in this world!" Now there is a kind of person out there. Taking care of the family business for others, seeing that the owner is weak, or young and careless, he secretly fills his own pockets, and even colludes with outsiders to coax the owner's money, and when the money is coaxed, he just finds an excuse to leave, then the owner knows! If this kind of person knows that the owner has reliable relatives to help, most of them will secretly make trouble, and people like us are not afraid, but they are too troublesome. I heard that most of the properties under the name of your Huo family are taken care of by outsiders, no matter how responsible you are, it is difficult to guarantee that you have no selfishness, where can you be reliable with our own family? ”

Huo Yi held back his anger and said softly: "Uncle and mother are too worried, those stewards are civilians on the surface, but in fact, they are all released by the children of the family, and they have done errands for a lifetime, but they are the most reliable, and there are parents and relatives waiting in the house." The daughters of several of them are still Yi'er's girls. They will never do anything that is a slave or a bully. ”

An's still refused to give up: "According to Yi'er's statement, my aunt is even more worried......"

"Okay, daughter-in-law!" The old lady spoke, interrupting An's persuasion, "Our family has sent someone to keep an eye on it from time to time, and I don't care about those stewards!" You also said just now, those who are coaxed are all weak people, there are Jingwang Mansion and our Hou Mansion here, who dares to mess around?! After a pause, he slowed down his tone, "Since they are the people they are used to in the Huo family, they suddenly changed, I am afraid that it will be a mess, so it is better to continue to use it." Otherwise, for a while, where will you find someone to replace you? Even if you pick out a few capable people from our family to top, you still have to change them back in a few years, wouldn't it be troublesome?! When it comes to the medicine that Yi'er's mother took, you have to be more careful, the two bottles of rose fragrance sent by King Jing's Mansion yesterday are said to be given by the palace, which can level the liver with blood, just let Yi'er's mother eat it, you send it to the evening fragrance hall. ”

An Shi saluted respectfully and said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law will go to get the incense." But she was slightly unhappy in her heart, she had some chest tightness these days, I was afraid that she was suffering from heat stroke, and she was thinking about eating rose dew.

Huo Yi breathed a sigh of relief where she couldn't see and looked at her grandmother in the upper seat. A faint wave of gratitude rose in my heart.

The people of the Evening Fragrance Pavilion continued to live a peaceful life, although Chunying was a little dissatisfied with the Huo family in her heart, but thinking that she was just a little girl, there was no need to make the host family depressed, so she hung up the mask of honesty and sluggishness every day, and was still courteous and close to Aunt Qing, and her attitude towards Huo Yi and Ju'er did not change at all, but she only joked with other little girls in her spare time, and never stepped into the main house without being summoned.

This kind of small change, only Aunt Qing and Shi'er vaguely seem to be aware, but the former regards this as an awkward incident after the little girl is wronged, and the latter is as if she is not aware as always, although Huo Yi feels a little guilty about Chunying, but her mother's illness occupies most of her attention, and she has to pay attention to An's actions at all times, so she has no energy to think more.

However, out of trust in Chunying, she gave Chunying a different errand. Because of Yulan's departure from the house and Linglong's fall injury, although there are more Ju'er, there is still a shortage of manpower in the house. Therefore, Huo Yi ordered Ju'er and Aunt Sandalwood to help Aunt Qing take care of her mother with her, Linglong was in charge of the finances of the hospital, and the work with fireworks such as boiling medicine, cooking porridge, and making tea was taken care of by Chunying, and as for the cleaning and settlement of the house, Nanqi, who returned to the Wanxiang Pavilion after "illness", was in charge.

Compared to the predecessor Chunying. Nanqi's cleaning work is not very good, and her steps are a little too heavy, but she has an advantage, that is, she was born in a big family with children in the Hou family, and her grandfather is still in charge. Huo Yi wanted to buy something, and she passed the word, and she could notify the Huo family servants outside the second gate without going through An's and buy it directly, which greatly saved time and increased security. Huo Yi and Aunt Qing were very satisfied, and acquiesced to Nanqi's status in the Wanxiang Pavilion.

Nanqi treated this indifferently. There didn't seem to be any emotional ups and downs, but Chunying got along with her a lot, but she faintly felt that she was much more active than before, and she no longer did needlework with Shi'er and other little girls in her spare time, but talked to Linglong, Ju'er and even Sandalwood, and also found a very effective ointment for Linglong to treat bruises, which greatly reduced the latter's injuries and successfully won several friends.

Chun Ying looked at it coldly, and she was aware of it. Nanqi is because he has suffered several losses in front of An's family, and he is a little disheartened, right? Thinking about it, the Wang family was on the wrong side from the beginning, maybe it was not their own will, but An's attitude obviously did not give them other options. Instead of continuing to work thanklessly between Hou Ye, An and the Second Young Master to make sandwich biscuits, it is better to climb to the Huo family. Even if you lose the protection of your master in the future, and fall overnight like the Lu family, at least there is a way back.

Soon, the Hou Mansion was replaced by a physician, and thanks to his skillful actions, Li's illness gradually improved. At this time, it was almost June, it was the height of summer, and everyone changed into a refreshing single clothes. The roses in the courtyard are blooming very vigorously, the fragrance is coming, the girls of the evening fragrance hall love to sit under the porch to do needlework in their spare time, and they are contaminated with a little floral fragrance, but because the owner of the museum is guarding filial piety, they dare not break a bright flower and insert it on their heads.

Huo Yi saw it in his eyes, and one afternoon, when he saw that there was nothing in the courtyard, he generously allowed the girls to go out for a walk, and they only needed to rush back before the unitary time (17 o'clock to 19 o'clock in the evening). And all the people thanked themselves happily and dispersed. Chunying was guarding a jar of medicine and couldn't get out, so she had to sit in the pantry and stare at the fire in a daze.

Shi'er ran in with a small straw basket and said, "Aren't you going out?" I'm talking to San'er that I'm going to play in the garden! Do you think this little basket looks good? This was given to me by the second sister yesterday, and it happened to be used with flowers! ”

Chunying smiled and praised a few words, then helplessly pointed to the medicine jar: "No way, this medicine has to be boiled for at least another half an hour, and when this is boiled." I also have to boil the porridge that my aunt ate at night. Go ahead, go back and bring me two flowers of a lighter color, jasmine is the best, I will put them in my purse, Mrs. Gu has been rare this smell lately. ”

Shi'er pouted: "You are becoming more and more like a big girl now, the few in the house refuse to go out, and even the second sister doesn't play with us, it's so boring!" ”

Chunying smiled and glanced at the simple stove next to the new plate: "You actually dare to arrange me?" Don't you want to eat my new cake? ”

Shi'er immediately jumped up: "Where?" Chun'er is the best! Ran to the stove and lifted the lid of the pot: "Ah! It's a rhombus cake, and I just want to eat this! Seeing that there was no one outside, he quickly took four pieces, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and tucked them in his sleeve: "I'm looking for Xia He, she also likes to eat." "Happily out the door.

Chunying was snickering, who knew that she couldn't get a pillar of incense, Shi'er came in again, with a look of wist: "Second Miss and Aunt Hua came to see Mrs. Gu and Miss Cousin, Miss Cousin called for tea, ......" and looked at her sleeves angrily: "I actually bumped into it as soon as I went out, and the cake was also called Yinpan and Cuiyu, and I couldn't eat it when I touched the ground, and I had to say to them with a smile that it didn't matter, how could I be so unlucky?!" ”

"Who are you talking about?" Chunying asked while mentioning the kettle to make tea.

"The silver plate is Aunt Hua's girl, and Jade is the second lady's girl. You may have seen the silver platter, and Wisteria said before that she had entered the house with you. ”

In this way, Chunying vaguely remembered who it was. It's just that I haven't seen that Yin'er since then, so I forgot about it, and I don't know that she changed her name.

Chunying smiled and comforted Shi'er: "Don't be depressed, there are still cakes, the people in the Hengzhu courtyard are leaving*, Miss Biao and Aunt Qing don't want to eat, Nanqi and Sandalwood don't like snacks, only Linglong and Ju'er will eat it." There's a drawer full of enough for you to eat! ”

Shi'er turned into a smile when she heard this: "Chun'er, you treat me so well!" I can't enter the house, it's hard for you to send tea, I'll go and sweep the broken pieces of the rhombus cake, so as not to turn around and scold people when I see Linglong. With that, he flew away like a butterfly.

Chunying picked up the tea tray and came to the main house, and heard the second lady Yijun say to Huo Yi: "...... My aunt's complexion is much better, what else is my cousin worried about? On weekdays, my cousin is only by my aunt's side and doesn't talk to our sisters, but now that the weather is good, my cousin will give me a face, come and sit with me, right? ”

Huo Yi was a little embarrassed: "This ...... Mother still needs someone to wait here, and besides, I told the girls to play separately......"

"Auntie has an aunt with her!" Yijun smiled and dragged her up, "My yard is not far from here, just behind the old lady's yard, but a few steps away, the third sister is also waiting there, I recently got an excellent white orchid, it will bloom in the next two days, just ask my cousin to reward it." ”

It's hard to be gracious, and Yijun has always been polite, Huo Yi is not good at prevarication, but he doesn't want to go, and when he saw Chunying entering the door, he opened the topic and scolded lightly: "Why is it so slow?" When people find out, they think I can't be hospitable! ”

Chunying hurriedly saluted and apologized: "It's a slave and a blunt maid, don't be angry." "It's not okay to compensate the second lady again. The second lady was a little bored, just shake the fan, and was about to persuade Huo Yi again, but heard a scream from inside: "Madam! It was like Aunt Qing's voice.

Huo Yi's face changed, and he hurriedly rushed in to look, Chun Ying followed behind, and saw that Mrs. Gu was leaning on Aunt Qing with a pale face, her hands trembled slightly, Aunt Qing was so anxious that she was about to cry, but there was Aunt Hua who was also pale standing next to her.

"What's going on?!" Huo Yi couldn't help but ask angrily, and at the same time hurriedly supported her mother, and moved her to the bed with Aunt Qing, and Chunying hurriedly stepped forward to help lift her feet. When Mrs. Gu was settled in bed, she accidentally touched Mrs. Gu's hand, and found that it was as cold as ice, and it was still trembling.

Huo Yi shouted with a cry: "Mother! Mother! Can you hear me?! Can you hear me?! Then he turned his head and asked Aunt Hua angrily, "What did you say to my mother?!" ”

Aunt Hua replied in fear: "I...... I didn't say anything...... Just gossip...... And she suddenly ......"

Huo Yi wanted to ask again, but found that Aunt Qing secretly pulled herself, and said: "Please doctor, Chun'er, go to the second gate to call someone, and then call someone to tell the old lady and uncle!" ”

Chun Ying hurriedly ran out, but a thought flashed in her heart: If Mrs. Gu fell like this, what would be Huo Yi's fate? And what will be the future of these girls?。.。
