Mother Lin saw that the sun had set, and Peony still hadn't returned, so she couldn't help but be a little anxious, so she asked Kuan'er to go out to inquire about the news to see if Peony was staying at Mrs. Qi's place. Kuan'er went out for a while, and then jumped and ran back: "Mom, the young lady is back." ”

Mother Lin hurriedly beckoned Shu'er to set up food and fetch water: "Hurry up, the food is going to be cold." ”

As soon as the meal was set, a flattering voice sounded under the porch: "Peony is the loveliest, peony is the loveliest." ”

Peony said weakly: "It's also cute to shake it." ”

Peony entered the house, lazily lay down on the couch, and said, "Stay for a while, my mother will go to clean up a room and come out, Mrs. rewarded me with two people today, one is Mother Li and the other is Laneige." ”

Mother Lin stopped what she was doing and said in surprise, "How could Madam suddenly come over?" "Peony has been sick for a long time, and the Liu family only knows to find excuses to send out the people given by the He family, Yutong has an accident, there is a shortage of manpower here, and no one has ever been given. Now that it's suddenly given to these two people, it looks like ill-intentioned no matter how you look at it.

Peony sighed: "What's the way to do that?" You can't say no. ”

As soon as Peony saw that he said this, the room suddenly fell silent, and several people looked at him sadly. I thought to myself, isn't it just two more people who are waiting, what's the big deal, they can't ride on their heads, so many people are looking at themselves alone, and they must not show weakness. So he cheered up, got up and picked up chopsticks to prepare for dinner, and said with a smile: "The body is not afraid of shadows, wouldn't it be better to have two more people to help you do things?" ”

Mother Lin leaned her back and just sighed: "Although I said so, I ......"

Peony saw that her brows were deeply furrowed, and the wrinkles on her face became denser and denser, looking extremely sad, and the boss in her heart couldn't bear it. Because she knew what she liked to hear the most, she glanced at Yuhe: "There are good things today, Yuhe told my mother." ”

Yuhe got the order, and said with a smile: "Mom, today's lady has spoken, from tomorrow morning, the two aunts will bring their sons and young ladies over to greet our young lady." Madame also said that she would invite a doctor to recuperate for the young lady. ”

"That's it, in the past, Mrs. didn't take you to heart, but now that she attaches importance to it, she naturally wants to release people to your house. This is nothing. Mother Lin's eyes lit up, the sadness on her face swept away, and she said excitedly, "Young lady, you are about to turn over, you must take advantage of this opportunity and give birth to a sister-in-law as soon as possible." ”

Peony choked on a mouthful of rice and ripped the words apart: "I am very uneasy to suddenly value me like this, and I don't know why." I always feel weird. ”

Mother Lin laughed, not taking Peony's worries to heart at all: "Whatever, it's good for us anyway." Seeing that Peony counted the rice grains there, she stepped forward and put a spoonful of fried lamb liver into her bowl: "It's not early, the young lady hurriedly eats, rests early after bathing, and sleeps well before she can be refreshed tomorrow." ”

The body is the capital of the revolution, and I must have a strong body! Peony gritted her teeth and ate the food in the bowl cleanly, and saw that Mother Lin, Yuhe and others were happy for a while.

said that after Mrs. Qi finished the evening class, Mama Zhu neatly instructed the maids to wait for her to finish grooming, and helped her sit under the curtain to enjoy the coolness. Because Liu Chengcai had not yet returned, Mama Zhu took a sewing basket and waited with Mrs. Qi while gossiping.

Under the conscious guidance of Mama Zhu, the topic shifted from the old past more than ten years ago to Peony: "When the lady said that she wanted the two aunts, the little son, and the little lady to go to the young lady to say goodbye, the slave and maid looked at the young lady and listened dumbfounded. Later, when she heard that she was going to invite the imperial doctor over, she was even more grateful. ”

Mrs. Qi glanced at her and said lightly: "You must be very strange why I have to take care of her affairs today, support her, and reward her, right?" ”

Mama Zhu smiled: "The old slave doesn't understand, and he doesn't understand when he looks at the young lady." ”

Mrs. Qi said with a straight face: "I'm doing this for the good of my family." Although the family is unfortunate, encountering this kind of thing, but the wood has been completed, if there are many things to regret, let Zishu and the Qinghua county lord continue to do nonsense, force people to death, offend the He family, and leak that matter, not only the master's official reputation and Zishu's future will be damaged, but my Liu family will also leave a reputation of being ungrateful and ungrateful, and it is extremely difficult to gain a foothold in the middle and upper class of people in Beijing. Zishu is ridiculous and ridiculous, it's time to take it away. ”

Mama Zhu smiled and said, "Madame has always been very far-sighted. But the slave and maid looked at it, the young lady seemed to be weak, but in fact she was very resilient, where was it so easy to think about it? ”

Mrs. Qi suddenly had a seizure, slammed the table, and sneered: "How did her illness come about last year, do you think I really don't know?" Do you really not understand or fake you don't understand?! ”

She was very powerful, and this attack frightened Mama Zhu into a fluster, and she knelt down as soon as her knees were weak: "Madame is angry, the old slave knows that she is wrong." Please Mrs. Mingjian, the old slave has been with you since he was seven years old, and now he has been by your side for nearly forty years, and he has never had two hearts. ”

Speaking of the experience of nearly forty years, Mrs. Qi was a little moved, and sighed: "I know that you are Zishu's nurse, you love him when you are a child, and you always love to follow his temperament." But this is not a child's play, and it can't be left to him. He thought of the Qinghua County Lord in his heart, and the Qinghua County Lord is now also a free body, and it is not surprising that the two of them have that thought in their hearts. But he never thought that we had two generations of single transmission in this room, and he was the only one, and my lord and I were still counting on him to pass on the lineage, and the children and grandchildren were full. Danniang is okay, in the end, she is soft and kind, no matter how sad she is, she just hides and cries, and she will never do that messy thing, but if she changes that person, I am afraid that this family will not be peaceful. She has a noble status, even if it is me, she may not take it seriously, how can she let others have a good life? Our family is not blessed. ”

"The old slave remembers, and he will persuade the prince in the future." Mama Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Mrs. only thought that she was a biased son, and did not suspect anything else. It seems that Madame has a firm idea, and she can't mention this again in the future. Tomorrow, I will find a time to tell the county lord of Qinghua and let her think of another idea.

Mrs. Qi rubbed her forehead: "It's really uncomfortable, Liu Chengcai, who killed a thousand knives, didn't care about the front and back, and did ugly things and asked the woman and son to suffer for him." ”

Mama Zhu didn't dare to answer, just laughed.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Peony was woken up by a noise. Biwu's voice scolding the maidservant, the sound of the child crying, and Yu'er's persuasion voice resounded.

What time did you come here to say hello? Is there such a noise, please? Deliberately provoked, right? This group of women is so annoying! Peony pounded the pillow a few times irritably, endured dozens of endurances, but didn't hold back in the end, turned over and sat up and shouted loudly: "Yuhe!" Who is so unruly and noisy outside early in the morning? ”

The noise outside was quiet for a while, and Yuhe's sweet voice sounded: "Back to the young lady's words, the two aunts brought the eldest son and the eldest lady to invite you according to the instructions of the lady." Have you forgotten? ”

Peony turned over and got out of bed, casually took a thin silk robe at the head of the bed and put it on, draped her long hair, strolled outside, and glanced at Biwu and Yu'er, who had been carefully dressed, and the group of maids they brought, and sat down in front of the dressing table: "How dare I forget Madame's words, I'm afraid that some people forget Madame's words." ”

Biwu's face became extremely ugly, and she said with a smile: "The young lady hasn't freshened up at this time, but I'm afraid that it will be too late to go to the lady to ask for peace later." ”

Yu'er saluted with a smile and said, "It's all the concubines, didn't they let the maid rob the cloth tiger of the prince of Qi." This caused an uproar, disturbed the young lady's purity, and asked the young lady to forgive her sins. Because he saw Kuan'er bringing clean water, he took the initiative to take the basin and served the peony clean face with his own hands.

Peony was not used to Liu Chang's concubine showing favor like this, she glanced at Yu'er twice, and saw that she was just looking at herself and smiling meekly, so she didn't shirk it, and lowered her head and cleaned her face: "That's it, how can a child not make trouble." I still have some time to get better here, if Biwu is in a hurry, you don't have to wait for me, go to Madame to serve first. ”

Biwu hesitated for a moment, and really saluted and ordered someone to take Qi'er out: "In this way, the concubine will go first." The young lady came slowly. ”

A trace of disdain flashed on Yu'er's face, and she said in a low voice: "Young lady, she is this temper, you don't have to worry about her." ”

Peony was noncommittal and beckoned to Yuhe: "Come and help me comb my hair and change my clothes." ”

The cloud bun is like cicada wings, the golden hairpin and jade are shaking, the pink gauze is short, and the smoke violet skirt is small. The newly made peony was radiant, and a trace of envy and sourness flashed in Yu'er's eyes, and then it was replaced by surprise and flattery: "The young lady is so beautiful." This kind of appearance and demeanor is not to say that it is the first in our family, but it is also rare in the capital. ”

Peony sighed, this can be regarded as the only benefit of He Peony. Seeing the sleepy-eyed aunt lying in the nurse's arms, she said: "Such a young child, it's no wonder it's hard for her, so she doesn't have to come in the future." ”

Yu'er hesitated for a moment and said, "The concubine doesn't dare to disobey the rules." Let her be in elementary school, and she will only know the general situation in the future. ”

Peony smiled faintly, didn't say much, and walked out first.

When they arrived outside Mrs. Qi's door, Mrs. Qi had already gotten up and was freshening up, but Biwu and Qi'er were not waiting under the porch.

Mama Zhu looked at the peony and said lightly: "The little boy was carried in, and Aunt Biwu went to the kitchen to fetch breakfast for Mrs. Zhu." ”

The daughter-in-law of the genuine brand has not yet had a concubine to ask for an early, and no one has served her thoughtfully, and in the eyes of others, even if it is not a peony, it is not hers. Yu'er secretly glanced at Peony, but saw that Peony watched with great interest as the mother-in-law took off the red lanterns under the porch one by one and extinguished them one by one, and she looked at it with relish, and she didn't care at all, but she didn't listen to Mama Zhu's words at all.

Mama Zhu saw that Peony was indifferent, but she was happy with herself, and secretly scolded: What a lump of wood, it is a waste of spirit to tell her this.
