The people in the pavilion were silent for a while. In the end, it was Jing Shi who broke the silence first: "It's really ......" paused, and said with a smile: "The second sister's temper is still so impatient, the third sister is just too shy, she can't get used to teaching well, but she wants to scold, people who don't know, really think she is bullying her sister." How can I say that the weaving painting is also her second brother's house, and she was once pregnant with her little nephew, although it was later gone, her identity is different from others, how can she still call people like little girls? ”

Xijun lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, Huo Yi just stared down at the chessboard with a smile, Chun Ying's eyes rolled, and she pretended to be very interested and leaned over to look, the scene was cold for a while, and in less than three seconds, Xiangyu, the big girl behind Jing's, opened her mouth and smiled: "Grandma, the second lady has always had this temper, and she is most unaccustomed to other people's words twisting and pinching, mosquitoes humming, she is such a cool person." Seeing the weaving painting so stupid, and not knowing how to look at people's faces, I can't say anything about it for a long time, so I naturally want to be angry. ”

Crescent Moon glanced at her, and her face sank. Jing smiled and poked at Xijun's head and said, "Do you hear me?" Speak and act generously in the future, you are the daughter of our Hou Mansion, who would dare to bully you? Always look like you're cowering, and when others see it, they will look down on you first. Don't blame your second sister for scolding harshly, she is also for your good. Although she has a mean mouth, she is actually soft-hearted, and if you have any grievances, don't take it to heart. ”

Xijun lowered his head and whispered, the crescent moon saw it behind, and secretly stomped his feet.

Seeing that this sister-in-law was still the same, it seemed that it was difficult to change, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, wondering why Mrs. An always praised such a cherished gentleman for understanding etiquette and having a demeanor. That's it, although she is the eldest sister-in-law, there is still a mother-in-law above, and it is not good to meddle in the discipline of the sister-in-law, and it is a pity that the monarch is still young, and there are still a few years before she leaves the cabinet. She'd better not be nosy.

Thinking of this, she smiled again and said, "It's a great thing that the second uncle can come back." He has been away from home for many years, and he must have endured a lot of hardships in the mountains all year round, so he must have made great progress in learning, right? ”

Xijun smiled timidly, and Huo Yi also raised his head: "I haven't seen my second cousin yet, he came back to see my mother on the last trip that year, but I cried like that, and I don't know who came, it's really rude." I often hear people say that my second cousin is very good at learning, he is a famous talent in Beijing, and he also writes good poems? Then you really have to ask for advice. ”

Jing lowered his head and covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed slightly, and said with a smile: "The second uncle's poems are there, and I have heard of them, but I haven't seen them with my own eyes, so I don't think it's bad?" However, in the past few years, he has concentrated on studying scriptures and history, saying that he wants to learn a little longer, so he must not have the leisure to spend time on the poetry trail? After that, he sighed: "Speaking of which." The second uncle was really unlucky, he was going to take the last big exam, but he suddenly fell ill and didn't catch up, otherwise he would have passed the exam by now. There is also a marriage event that is the same, and it is not easy to order a good family, and it is the matchmaker made by the saint himself, but it has not been married until today. I heard that the young lady of the Liang family is also a good daughter with both talents and appearances, if she enters our door as soon as possible, we can also have multiple companions, right? ”

Xijun whispered: "Sister-in-law...... Then Miss Liang heard that it was very powerful......"

"It's just a rumor." Jing said with a smile, "Others still say that your second sister is powerful, but your second sister is obviously a kind and good girl, clever and easy to get along with, but she is a little anxious." Maybe that Miss Liang is also a cool girl? ”

Huo Yi shook the fan lightly and nodded: "That's a good point, I also heard from my second aunt that the third lady of the Liang family is a talented person, who knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and acts well, quite like her eldest sister." ”

The eldest lady of the Liang family is Princess Ke, but she is notoriously spicy, and it doesn't seem to be a good word to say that Miss Liang San is like her. Xijun was stunned for a moment, and Jing lowered his head and coughed a few times. Xiangyu asked with a very eyed expression: "Grandma, but what's wrong with your body?" Chunying also said: "I'm afraid that I just sweated, and I felt cold when the wind blew?" Although the weather was warm, it snowed not long ago. Grandma Da Xiao should go back and change into dry clothes. Huo Yi also said: "That's right, don't get sick with your eldest cousin." ”

There was only one who was sweating, and Jing knew that this was an excuse, so he didn't shirk it, and said with a smile: "In this case, I'll go back first, it's almost time to eat, and you guys should disperse." pressed Xijun's shoulder: "Don't you want to play with Brother Kun?" Come over after eating. ”

A flash of joy flashed in Xijun's eyes, and he nodded again and again, but he didn't see the crescent moon sighing in the back again.

Huo Yi sent the others away with a smile on the corner of his mouth, only then turned around and asked lightly: "Linglong sent a letter yesterday saying that she was coming over today, has she arrived?" ”

As early as the end of last year, Linglong and Jinxiu married the two young stewards of the Huo family respectively, and were promoted to the housekeeper's wife, one stayed in the old mansion and the other stayed in Huo Bianxiu's mansion, no longer serving by Huo Yi's side, but would come to report family affairs from time to time. Chun Ying heard Huo Yi's question and hurriedly replied, "When I went back just now, she hadn't come yet, but it should be almost time." "Then pack up and go back." "Yes."

Waiting for Chunying to hold a jade pot spring vase full of flowers in one hand, and a basket with a tea set in the other. When she followed Huo Yi back to the small courtyard, Linglong had already arrived. She first stepped forward to ask Huo Yi for peace, and said hello as usual, before she began to report the recent situation of the young master and the operation of the Huo family's industry, and said with some concern: "Several shops have not sent last year's accounts, and the housekeeper has personally asked a few times, and they all said that they are still counting, and it is obviously coaxing." Miss, look...... Do you want to talk to the old lady and teach those few who don't know the height of the sky a lesson? ”

Huo Yi frowned: "It's a trivial matter, why should you alarm your grandmother?" Go back and send a message to the king in this house. Just ask him to ask. If someone really does something wrong, I will report it to my uncle and ask him to cut it. After all, those stewards were sent by this government, and we can't overstep our responsibilities. With that, he glanced sideways at Nanqi, who was standing beside him. Nanqi smiled lightly and saluted: "Miss don't worry, the slave will send a message to the past." Huo Yi nodded slightly.

Chunying put her things away, returned to the outer room, and when she saw this, she bowed her head and stood beside Nanqi. Dong'er was on the other side, coughed lightly, and squeezed her eyes at Linglong. Linglong looked at Nanqi and Chunying with some hesitation, as if she wanted to say something.

Huo Yi felt strange: "What's wrong?" But what's the problem? ”

"No...... It's ......" Linglong squeaked and looked at Dong'er, who stomped his feet and said to Chunying: "You go out first!" ”

Nanqi frowned, his feet didn't move, Chun Ying wanted to see this situation, most of them had confidential things to report, she still had a little bit of eyes, so she bowed down and retreated. Nanqi hesitated slightly, then gritted her teeth and followed, and slowly closed the door, but until she closed the door and walked away, Linglong didn't speak, she was a little disappointed in her heart.

Back in the room, she sat down on the edge of the bed, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she slapped the bed vigorously a few times. Chunying has lived in the same room with her since she moved to this small courtyard, and when she saw this, she persuaded her: "What are you angry about? We are later, naturally we can't compare to the person who has been waiting for Miss Cousin since childhood, you never cared about these in the past, and always advised me to get along with Dong'er, why did you lose your temper today? ”

Nanqi bit his lip and said, "How is this the same?" Now we are also Miss's henchmen, she never avoids us when she talks and does things on weekdays, and she clearly sees us as the same as Dong'er. Fang Cai didn't even say a word. Why did Dong'er call us out?! It's obvious that they treat us as outsiders! Isn't that chilling?! "She pinned the future of the whole family on Huo Yi, if after three years of hard work, she still failed to get the approval of the Huo family, then wouldn't she have been in vain in the past three years?!

Thinking of the grievances she has received in the past few months, she is even more impatient. She's not young anymore, how many three years do she have to squander?

Chunying didn't quite understand why Nanqi, who had always been calm, suddenly became irritable recently, so she had to persuade her gently, and then opened the topic, and finally calmed her down.

Shi'er ran in from outside the door with a big baggage, and when Chunying saw it, she smiled and asked, "Is this back?" Is your mother's illness cured? ”

"Alright." Shi'er smiled and squeezed to Nanqi's side, "The person who reported the news before couldn't say clearly, I was so anxious that I was in a hurry, and I didn't know until I went out that my mother was just on fire for a while and coughed heavily, so she had blood streaks in her phlegm, and she was already much better after taking medicine." I told my dad the recipe you used to stew pears in Chuanbei, and let him stew it slowly for my mother to eat! After that, he took out a new pair of uppers from his bag: "This is made by my mother, I gave it to you, thank you for the recipe." ”

Chunying took it with a smile: "Then I'll take it, I'm just trying to make a new pair of shoes, thank you." ”

Shi'er turned to Nanqi again and said, "Second sister, my aunt asked me when you would go home, and I asked you to go back a long time ago, but you haven't moved for months." ”

Nanqi just didn't speak, pulling the sweat towel around his waist to play. Seeing this, Shi'er said, "What's the matter? Isn't it just a proposal? The second sister is not young, whose girl is almost twenty years old and has not yet married? You see, even Sister Lu'er of Huanhuaxuan in the past has married out! Besides, my aunt has found you several families, all of which are excellent, what are you not satisfied with? ”

Nanqi sneered: "Naturally, there is nothing dissatisfied, but you don't want to think about it, is your wife willing to let you go?!" In the past few years, the family has talked about kissing several times, which time was not rejected by his wife? I just said that Linglong Sandalwood is married, and there is no one to wait for Miss Cousin, so I am older and more mature, so I will serve for a few more days. If the mother said a sentence in front of the old lady, she would boast about her son who accompanied her room, what idea she had in her heart, who doesn't know? I won't send it to the door automatically! ”

Shi'er heard this, and opened his mouth: "This...... Not really, right? A few of my wife's companions, except for the son who gave birth to peace, no one has any interest, where is worthy of you? Ping An already has Sister Meixiang again......"

Chunying frowned: "Didn't the old lady say that we are all young lady's people?" If the young lady speaks, the wife can't stop it, right? ”

Nanqi shook his head: "How can you tell Miss about this kind of thing?" Even if the young lady is interested, she will ask the elders to decide. In the end, it still has to fall on the wife. I don't want to provoke my wife to think of me again, now she is in the way of the Hou Ye, and she refuses to do too much, otherwise I would have ...... a long time ago" Biting her lip, she lowered her head and didn't say any more.

Chun Ying asked a little eagerly: "I always thought that we were already under the control of Miss, according to what you said, our future is still in the hands of our wife?!" "It didn't fit her plan!

Shi'er said: "Chun'er, you are different from the second sister, the second sister is because she offended his wife, besides, ......" She was a little discouraged, "Our surname is Wang!" If someone else is changed, where does my wife have the leisure to embarrass her?! ”

Chunying grabbed a strand of hair curly, although she was relieved, she always felt that it was a little unsafe, and after thinking about it, she said: "Sister Nanqi, didn't Miss Fang Cai say that she asked you to send a message to the family?" You can take the leave and go home and discuss this matter with your family. You are indeed not young, even if you have the heart to delay, if your wife really wants to do something, I am afraid that it will not be delayed for long. ”

Nanqi lowered his head: "Actually...... It's not impossible......" She rolled her eyes and bit her lower lip. There is a way, not only can she get out of the current predicament as soon as possible, but also leave her family a way back, but the price she paid for this is not small, and she has not yet made up her mind......

Chun Ying didn't pay attention to the change in her expression, she was just thinking, I don't know how Zhou Nian is going, I heard last month that there are eyebrows, and one of his close relatives has been rehabilitated, and his home must not be far away. If she can successfully leave the country within two years, she naturally doesn't have to worry too much, but the family has to start preparing for the future....... . .
