、、、、、、、、、、 Mrs. Du lay weakly on the couch, and Bai Xiang led a few girls to be busy, serving her to drink medicine for a while, and asking if her stomach still hurts for a while. Mrs. Du was annoyed, and waved her hand uncomfortably to tell them to go out, and Bai Xiang sent out the rosin and gold beads together, and took the undershirt for Mrs. Du and sat down by the window, guarding Mrs. Du while doing needlework.

Mrs. Du looked out through the blue and blue gauze tent at Bai Xiang, who had a quiet expression and was concentrating on her work. To tell the truth, Bai Xiang is the smartest, most beautiful, and most considerate of the dozens of girls she has used. But it's too smart, and it's not reassuring. Especially Bai Xiang knows so many things, it's really uncomfortable. She said casually: "Bai Xiang, the horse steward is old, I plan to let your brother take his place and take care of the Zhuang ...... for me."

Bai Xiang was stunned, Mrs. Du said that it was the largest and most productive of her own dowry villages. If Zi's brother can get this position, the family's livelihood will naturally not have to worry at all, and everyone will be beautiful, the question is, how could Mrs. Du suddenly be so good to her? Could it be that there is something like the one that she used to do? Her fingers clenched the fabric in her hand tightly, and she smiled a little hard: "Mrs. Xie." But my brother is stupid, and I'm afraid he will live up to his wife's expectations. ”

Mrs. Du said lightly: "Who is born with it?" Yes. ”

Bai Xiang swallowed nervously, struggling to think of a reason to refuse. When she raised her eyes and saw that Mrs. Du couldn't see her emotions clearly, her heart tightened suddenly, and she couldn't refuse...... As a slave and maidservant is like this, no matter the good intentions of the master or bad intentions, you can't refuse, otherwise it will be unfaithful. Bai Xiang hated the identity of this slave, and she heard her dull voice: "Mrs. Xie." ”

Mrs. Du smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, you all have to work hard, don't let me down." It's a long time coming. ”

Bai Xiang hung her head sadly, her dream was very beautiful, hoping to be protected and pitied by the public, but she forgot one thing, her family was still in the hands of Mrs. Du. You can't be in a hurry about this, you can't be in a hurry.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming straight towards the house, which was particularly disturbing in the silence where the sound of breathing could not be heard. Bai Xiang felt that every step seemed to be stepping on her heart. She got up a little annoyed, and planned to reprimand this girl or mother-in-law who didn't understand the rules, but it was Jin Zhu who came in.

Jin Zhu is only fourteen years old, with a pair of beautiful and smart eyes and a pair of ruddy and dexterous thin lips, at this time those eyes flashed with excitement that could not be hidden, the thin lips had a cheerful arc, and her voice was crisp and pleasant: "Madam, Aunt Xue is unbearable and humiliated, and she has touched the pillar!" ”

Mrs. Du sat up suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she said urgently, "What's wrong with people?" ”

Jin Zhu said: "There was blood and she was in a coma, the guard's wife was frightened, and kept saying that she couldn't think about it herself, and that she did it according to the old lady's instructions." It didn't really stuff horse manure, it just scared and scared her, and she couldn't think about it. ”

Great, everything went as expected.

"I'm really ignorant." Mrs. Du pursed her lips and looked at Bai Xiang: "You go and see it for me, if she wakes up, scold her in public." ”

Falling into the well in public? This kind of thing is not something that Mrs. Du would do (she wants to do it behind her back) Bai Xiang looked at Mrs. Du lately: "What are you scolding her?" ”

Mrs. Du raised her eyebrows, as if smiling: "Do you want me to teach you?" ”

is nothing more than standing in the position of the main room, scolding Aunt Xue for being ignorant and unfilial, anyway, it is necessary to establish that Mrs. Du is against her trouble. Bai Xiang immediately saluted and withdrew, and she looked jealously at the Jin Zhu who remained in Mrs. Du's room, and Jin Zhu became more and more relied on.

Mrs. Du raised her eyes and looked at Jin Zhu: "What about Grandpa Guo?" Haven't come back yet? ”

Jin Zhu hurriedly said: "No." ”

Mrs. Du pondered for a moment and said, "Go and let Mother Niu try to tell her mother about this." Let her persuade her mother to stop being angry. There will be a turning point for the better. Since then, the old lady and Jiang Chong have two more enemies. She is not Wang Ayou, they lost her, and she wants to get it back little by little.

"Yes." Jin Zhu quickly retreated when he heard the sound.

She carefully avoided the eyes and ears of the people around her, and when she arrived outside Jiang Yunqing's courtyard, she looked over, and saw the little girl under Niu Po standing at the door, looking around, and coughed lowly.

Mei'er walked over quickly and whispered: "Sister Jinzhu, the young lady is inside, someone is looking for Mother Wu to talk, and Mother Wu is gone, I am looking to see where she is going." ”

Jin Zhu waved his hand and whispered: "Regardless of her, you go and call Mother Niu out, and let people know." ”

Seeing that one of the two mothers-in-law beside Jiang Yunqing said to get her fruit, and the other said to serve her pastries, and then they all disappeared, leaving only two little girls staring at her without blinking, and couldn't help but secretly laugh, everyone is very busy today.

Anyway, the old lady and Jiang Chong couldn't really starve Jiang Yunqing to death, and it was time for her to leave, so she stood up and said to the two girls who were a little older in middle grade and better dressed: "I'll go back first, so that I can serve your mother." ”

The girl hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The slave is called Xiangcheng, young lady, let's sit for a while, maybe our mother will wake up later, and it may not be ......."

"Nope." Peony shook her head, and before she walked out of the door, she saw Niu Po coming over quickly, and hurriedly saluted, and before she even had time to be polite to her, she rushed directly into Jiang Yunqing's room. Peony looked over from the bead curtain, and saw that the cow woman was struggling at Jiang Yunqing's people, and said in a deep voice: "Mother! Mother! Wake up quickly! Something happened to Aunt Xue! ”

Jiang Yunqing's eyes moved, he slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Niu Po with a dull gaze, still a little suspicious. Niu Po said a few words quickly close to her ear, Jiang Yunqing's expression was very panicked and sad, but she couldn't shed tears, she just stretched out her hand and pointed to the water cup on the table. The cow woman hurriedly helped her up and brought water to feed her.

Jiang Yunqing cried with a sad face, greedily gulped water, and even choked himself to the point that he couldn't breathe, but there were still no tears. Niu Po gently stroked her chest and whispered comfort: "Don't worry, don't worry, there will be no big deal, taking care of your body is the most important thing." ”

Peony quickly turned around and walked briskly outside. This Guogong Mansion made her breathless.

However, it was necessary to say goodbye to the old lady. She stood for a while, strolled towards the old lady's room, and whispered, "Won't you go to Mrs. Du's place?" ”

Peony shook her head. Last time, she, Jiang Changyang, and Mrs. Du understood each other very well what was going on, so Jiang Chong and the old lady didn't care how they treated Mrs. Du, greeting or not greeting, it didn't matter, as long as you didn't make noise and embarrassed in public. In that case, why should she make herself uncomfortable and others uncomfortable?

The old lady's room was quiet, and the old lady was lying on the couch and panting. She didn't expect that Aunt Xue, a concubine born as a girl, would dare to really seek death! She said that she was going to stuff Aunt Xue's mouth with horse manure, but was it really stuffed? No! Where is she so stupid, Jiang Yunqing still wants to get married! Think about it and know that what good people would want if the mother was stuffed with horse manure by the family? Isn't it just to scare and scare Aunt Xue. This idiot, pigs don't have brains! It is certainly a shame for the Guogong Mansion to make trouble, but what good is it for Jiang Yunqing?

Suddenly, I heard Peony say on the side: "Grandmother, it's not early, my granddaughter-in-law is going back, and I will come to see your old man with Da Lang when I am free another day." ”

The old lady raised her eyelids sharply and looked at the peony, her eyes full of fierceness. Peony was inexplicable, and looked at the old lady without giving in. Jiang Changyang is right, if she has no desire, she doesn't ask for anything, and she hasn't done anything wrong, why should she be inexplicably angry? The two only looked at each other for two breaths, and the old lady withdrew her gaze and pointed to the crescent stool beside her: "Danniang, sit down, I have something for you." As he spoke, he motioned for Hong'er to go inside and get something.

She didn't target the peony, she was thinking that she was asleep at that time, Du Shi also said that she didn't care about the illness, but fortunately, Hong'er knew the opportunity and falsely transmitted her own message, so that people immediately looked at the small courtyard, and no one was allowed to enter and exit at will, otherwise at this time, I was afraid that everyone in the mansion would shout to know, and it would be difficult to clean it up.

Just thinking about it, Hong'er had already taken out a silver flat paint removal box with a flower picture of entwined branches from inside. The old lady's face was full of kind smiles, she took a small key from the skirt, opened the lock, and handed it to Peony: "Open it and see?" ”

Peony hesitantly took it, and gently opened the lacquer box, but inside were some gold-framed treasures, gorse, hairpins, step rocks, arm rings and other ornaments that were better than golden millet, one pair of each, exactly one set. The light of the setting sun shines through the curtains and falls on the lacquer box, and the tiny gold beads float into delicate and unpredictable flashes, like water waves reflecting the sun, and the red, blue, and green gems reflect the colorful light, which is very dazzling.

Peony calmly closed the lid of the lacquer box and pushed it in front of the old lady: "Grandmother, these things are really good, the materials are good, and the workmanship is good." ”

The old lady smiled and pushed her over: "It's all yours." Seeing Peony raise her eyes to look at herself in surprise, she was slightly ashamed: "This was originally prepared when Da Lang was born, and I thought it would not be sent out." When you got married, I was going to give you a greeting gift, but ......," she sighed, "Actually, you are very good, you can afford it, so take it." Don't be bad. ”

Peony lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that my grandmother will be angry, Da Lang said that I am not allowed to ask for your things." It's not easy to say that you are an old man who saves something......"

Huh, also? The old lady got angry and wanted to lose her temper with the peony, but it was not the right time, so she could only endure it. But he saw Lu Jiao poking his head out at the door, and the next breath was out of Lu Jiao, and he snorted angrily: "What's the matter?" ”
