For a boudoir lady like Sanniang, greeting her elders every day is a major event in the day. Sanniang and Wang Jing had just come out of the garden, but they saw a few people walking on the path leading to Fangzhi Courtyard. The first is a little girl about ten years old, with a pair of flexible big eyes on her palm-sized face, and at this time those eyes are following one or two butterflies that occasionally fly out from among the flowers and plants.

The girl's eyes rolled, but she happened to see Sanniang and Wang Jing, her eyes lit up, she couldn't care about being dignified and decent, she lifted her skirt and jumped and ran.

"Fifth brother, third sister."

Sanniang saw her running over from the path in a dress embroidered with colorful butterflies, and then looked at one or two butterflies that were startled by her footsteps, and couldn't help but be a little funny.

"Fifth sister, are you well?" Sanniang asked with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, there's nothing wrong with it! My aunt is always blind and nervous. Wu Niang Wang Yue flashed her big eyes and said, suddenly remembered something, stepped forward and grabbed one of Sanniang's arms and shook it, pouted and said: "The third sister is not going to see me, aunt she does not allow me to go out of the yard, I have mushrooms all over my body." ”

Sanniang glanced at the sleeves that were pulled by Wu Niang, hesitated for a moment, and finally could only choose to let her helplessly, and didn't explain when she heard her words, but just asked: "Fifth sister, are you going to ask for peace to your grandmother?" ”

Wu Niang didn't notice that the topic was shifted, she just nodded and said happily: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect to meet the fifth brother and the third sister, I haven't seen you for a few days." And the big sister, I miss her too, yesterday she sent someone to bring me medicine, in fact, I was well early, I didn't use the medicine, but I still want to thank her for seeing her today. ”

"Ahem, Miss Five, it's not too early, and if you don't pass, it's going to be too late." Yuzhu, who was standing behind Wu Niang, suddenly gently pulled Wu Niang's sleeve and reminded.

Wu Niang looked up at the sky when she heard this, said "Ah", pulled up Sanniang's sleeve and walked forward.

"It's too bad, it's too bad to patronize and talk to the third sister. Third sister, fifth brother, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late for a while and the fourth sister and sixth sister will say that we don't take the matter of asking for peace to heart, and then I will go back to the yard and be talked about by my aunt. ”

Sanniang shook her head, and Wuniang led her to Songling Courtyard.

When I arrived at the main house of the Sun family in Songling Yuan, the people in each room had already arrived, and the Jin family was actually there today. On weekdays, the Kim family is handling housework at the meeting hall at this hour, and he will not come to say hello to the Sun family until later, and by the way, he will report the family affairs of the day to the Sun family, but today for some reason he came with the children.

Sanniang and others stepped forward to kowtow to the Sun family to say goodbye, and then saluted the Jin family and the Bai family, and after saluting each other, they sat on their usual seats after greeting each other.

"Wu Niang's body is okay?" Sun asked.

Wu Niang didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the Sun family, so she hurriedly stood up and replied: "Thank you grandmother for your concern, Wu Niang has done her best." ”

"That's good, at this time, the sky always says that change is going to change, and you have to pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes on weekdays." Sun said.

The juniors in each room are busy responding, "Yes." ”

Sun nodded, then turned his head to the Jin family who was waiting next to her: "So the He family is in big trouble this time?" ”

Kim hurriedly replied, "Yes, mother. I heard that the chief manager of the outer courtyard said that the He family is now busy selling shops and Zhuangzi. ”

Sun shook his head, a little embarrassed: "It is said that the rich are not more than three generations, and this He family also relied on the ancestors to start from scratch, but it will decline in the fourth generation, this is fate." ”

Jin said with a smile: "How can these rich giants be able to get into our famous family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and a little wind and rain can make them destroy and scatter, I heard that their master has been imprisoned, saying that he is suspected of selling illicit salt." ”

Sun nodded: "That's it." These merchants' homes, after all, have a shallow foundation. A little benefit can make them take risks and ignore the safety of their families. ”

Jin nodded in agreement, and said, "What about the grange?" ”

Sun waved his hand: "You can do it, if it is really good, it doesn't hurt to buy it as soon as possible." ”

Seeing that the goal was achieved, the Jin family was very happy, and did not stay long, and hurriedly said: "Then the daughter-in-law will go to the council hall first." ”

Sun nodded and let her go, and sent the brothers in each room to the school. So after only half a while, the Bai family and a few girls were left in the main room of the Sun family.

After sitting for a while, Mama Li came in and reported that she had brought a few little girls to ask the Sun family to pick someone, and the Sun family sent the Bai family and the granddaughters back to the room first.

A few people walked to the gate of Sun's Songling Courtyard, and the Bai family took Yuan Niang first as usual. Siniang, Liuniang and Wuniang glanced at each other a few times.

Liuniang pouted and said, "I was so sick yesterday that I couldn't get up, but today I'm so alive." When who doesn't know? I just want to be lazy and don't want to come to say goodbye. ”

Wu Niang puffed out her cheeks angrily when she heard this: "You are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" ”

Liuniang was not happy when she heard this, stomped her foot and pointed at Wuniang and said, "Who are you talking about?" Who's the villain? ”

Wu Niang rolled her eyes: "Love whoever you want." ”

Liu Niang was so angry that she pointed at Wu Niang's hand and trembled. Wu Niang grabbed Sanniang's sleeve and whispered: "Third sister, let's go quickly, someone is going to be powerful again." ”

Sanniang sighed, sure enough, as soon as these two people met this scene, they had to stage it.

"It's not early, my embroidery work hasn't been completed yet, so it's better to go back to the hospital separately." Sanniang said.

Wu Niang immediately seconded: "Yes, yes, my embroidery work has not been completed." I asked Yuzhu to go back and fetch it for me, and I went to the third sister's yard to do it together. After speaking, he pulled Sanniang and ran.

Sanniang nodded to Liuniang and Siniang who were staring, and Wuniang pulled them away. Just walked a short distance, Sanniang saw a figure flashing by the corner gate next to Songling Courtyard. Sanniang pondered for a moment, and suddenly stopped Wuniang.

"Ah, where's the hairpin on my head?"

Wu Niang looked at Sanniang's head when she heard this, and sure enough, she saw that there was no jewelry on Sanniang's hair.

"Did you just drop it?"

Sanniang frowned and said, "It may have fallen in Songling Courtyard, I'd better go back and find it." ”

When Wu Niang heard this, she hesitated for a while and said, "Why don't I accompany the third sister back to the old lady." "She really didn't like going to the old lady's yard.

Sanniang patted Wuniang's hand and said, "No need, you go back first, and do embroidery work together next time." ”

Wu Niang pouted, although she was a little unhappy, she didn't object, and took the maids away after a salute.

Sanniang saw that Wu Niang had gone away, and Si Niang and Liu Niang had disappeared, so she told Bai Zhi to take the maids back first, and she only took Bai Ying back. When he approached the gate of Songling Courtyard, he did not enter the courtyard, but turned into the corner gate on the side and entered the mezzanine. Bai Ying glanced at Sanniang, and saw that Sanniang didn't signal, so she followed without saying much.

This sandwich road is very narrow and long, Sanniang took Bai Ying slowly walked, after half a tea time, the sandwich road that I saw was about to come to the end, and then went forward is a corner door leading to the east and west halls of Sun's backyard, and some mothers-in-law and maids of Songlingyuan lived in Sun's backyard.

As the corner gate approached, a sobbing sound came with the wind.

"It's my aunt who is useless, and it hurts you." The sobbing voice said.

"Auntie, don't say that, if it weren't for my aunt after my father died, Qingniang and my brother wouldn't know where they would be displaced."

"Alas! Originally, I wanted to beg the old lady to let you enter Songling Courtyard for decades, and then help Brother Liang get a job in the future, so that I can also relax with you, and when I get underground, I can see my brother and sister-in-law. But she doesn't want Lingzhi to remember the grievances of the year, and this time she did it so badly, she actually wanted your life! ”

"Auntie, don't you see I'm fine? I'll be careful in the future, this time I'm also reckless. ”

"Alas! You don't understand. I have been serving her master with her since I was a child, and she is the most vindictive, and she has repeatedly suppressed her over the years...... It's just that I don't want to care about how she treats me, but she's so vicious that she won't even let you go! If Brother Liang can enter the house in the future and get a half-job, won't she have to be ruthless? I...... I will not tolerate it! Brother Liang is the only seedling in our family. ”

"But aunt, now the old lady is obedient to her, if she really has the intention to murder, then we ......"

"Qingniang, don't worry, my aunt will protect you even if she fights for this old life."

Hearing this, Sanniang glanced at Bai Ying, and the two deliberately took a heavy step and walked towards the corner gate.

"The hibiscus flowers here are really that good?"

"Yes, young lady, the slave maid asked the old lady for some embroidery in the yard a few days ago, and saw that the hibiscus flower behind the backyard was budding, and now I think it has bloomed better."

Saying that, the two of them have arrived at the corner door, and there are two people standing in the door, an old man and a young man, the old one is Chang Mama in the Sun family's courtyard, and the younger one is Sanqi who has now been assigned to the Hefeng Courtyard.

Mama Chang and Sanqi glanced at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and there were still some tears in the corners of Mama Chang's eyes that had just not had time to wipe away.

Sanniang smiled and excused them from the salute, and said: "I wanted to pick some hibiscus flowers in this backyard, thinking that this road is usually not walked, so I can not alarm the people in my grandmother's yard, but I didn't want to meet you." ”

Mama Chang said: "Sanqi just entered the house, and she still doesn't understand many rules, and the slave maid wants to tell her more so that she can make fewer mistakes in the future." ”

"Mama has been in the house for so many years, and she is familiar with the rules of the house." Saying that, Sanniang glanced at Sanqi again, and said with a smile: "Since Sanqi is here, then when you go back to Hefeng Courtyard, help me pick some hibiscus flowers and bring them back, I won't go into the courtyard." ”

Sanqi replied respectfully, "Yes, miss." ”

Mama Chang looked at Sanniang, and stopped talking a little, but Sanniang smiled, nodded at Mama Chang and went back with Bai Ying.
