Seeing Peony's cautious appearance, Mrs. Qi changed her smile again, and reached out to hold Peony's hand, "Don't blame me for being strict with you, I'm doing this for your good." The situation of our family is different from your mother's family, and you will have to be in charge of the house sooner or later, and then you will know how difficult it is! ”

If it was a peony in the past, when he heard that the Liu family was different from the He family, his face would be extremely ugly, and the peony didn't seem to understand at the moment, so he only lowered his eyebrows and said: "It's all because the daughter-in-law is not good, so my mother is tired." ”

"It's all fate, what's the solution." Mrs. Qi sighed for a while, and said, "I heard that Yutong is pregnant, you have to think about it." She had also heard that Yutong cried and left the peony's yard at noon, although she didn't know the reason, but after thinking about it, she was probably angry with the peony to cry like that.

Peony lowered her eyes and said, "My daughter-in-law is here for this matter." I want to beg my mother to add someone to wait for her and raise the monthly rate, so that she will not be depressed and not conducive to raising the baby. ”

Mrs. Qi didn't care who was right and wrong between the two of them, as long as there was no big mess, she was happy to pretend to be dizzy: "This is also how it should be, who do you think is better to send to serve her?" She came out of you, and she should be closer to the people around you. ”

It is said that Mrs. Qi will not rest assured that her own people will serve Yutong, what does it mean to say this deliberately? Peony frowned and said: "There are not many people around the daughter-in-law, Mother Lin and Yuhe are inseparable, and the other two little maids, one with a short temperament and the other ignorant and ignorant, are not suitable." Please ask your mother to make other arrangements. ”

Mrs. Qi looked at it, and saw that the peony's long eyelashes were trembling slightly, no matter how she looked at it, she looked pitiful. This daughter-in-law is from a merchant family, and she is sick and crooked, and she used to act generously, not to mention that Liu Chang didn't like it, even if she didn't like it, she didn't like it when she looked at it, but now she is much more sensible than before. It's a pity that a grass chicken is a grass chicken, and you can't be a phoenix when you fly on a branch.

Peony couldn't wait for her to answer for a long time, and shouted inquiringly: "Mother? ”

Mrs. Qi took a sip of herbal tea and sighed wistfully: "Okay, I'll point her another more stable maid, and then the sister-in-law Wei next to her will follow, it's almost over." As for the monthly money, she used to follow you for two taels of silver, but now it is adjusted to three taels of silver, and the rest will be talked about when she gives birth to a child. What do you think? ”

As long as the peony can cope with the past, where will there be any opinions? immediately got up and said, "Where does the daughter-in-law know this, the mother is in charge." ”

Her careful respect made Mrs. Qi's heart feel better, but she said: "Don't be so tired from your family, thank you for coming and going." You can quickly recuperate and give birth to a grandson for me, which is the greatest thank you to me. ”

Grandson, grandson! Peony was very irritable, and it was easy to hold back and squeeze out a dry smile.

Bi Wu walked in with Qi'er, who had just woken up, and said with a smile on her face: "Madam, you persuade the young lady, she was very sad about it when the concubine came with her before." ”

These words seem to confirm the rumor that Peony cried Yutong at noon because of jealousy. Mrs. Qi raised her eyebrows and looked at Peony, who did not refute, only looked at the bluestone floor tiles with her eyes down. Anyway, except for Liu Chang and Yuhe, Yutong, and Mother Lin around her, Mrs. Qi and others don't know that Liu Chang and her haven't had a round house yet, they only know that Liu Chang rarely goes to her room, and every time she goes, she leaves in a hurry, so how can she give birth to a child? As the young lady of the Liu family, it is normal for her to be sad, and it is not normal if she is not sad.

Mrs. Qi was silent for a moment, and said, "It's good to know that you're in a hurry, tomorrow I'll ask the master to post and ask the imperial doctor to come and prescribe a prescription for you." If you take care of your body, you will naturally have what you should have. This is very clear, whether Liu Chang likes it or not, she will help Peony give birth to a son-in-law.

Peony was terrified, but she didn't dare to show half a point on her face, and smiled stiffly: "Mother just arranges it." It's just that tomorrow the husband will hold a flower-viewing banquet and let the daughter-in-law entertain the female relatives. If the imperial doctor came, he asked his mother to send someone over to talk to his daughter-in-law in advance, and the daughter-in-law hurried over. ”

"In that case, let's change the time." Mrs. Qi paused, and said meaningfully, "All the guests who come are guests, you have to entertain well, don't lose your dignity." ”

Peony respectfully responded.

Biwu listened to it sourly, scratching her heart and lungs, and hurriedly lowered her head and asked the two-year-old Qi'er in her arms: "Didn't Qi'er just tell her aunt that she wanted to beat her grandmother's legs?" ”

Qi'er's appearance looks like Liu Chang, and she was trained by Biwu very well-behaved, and when she heard this, she immediately struggled to get out of Biwu's arms, and walked towards Qi Xiangshi with her hands open, her little face was full of smiles, and she said sweetly: "Grandmother, Qi'er misses you." ”

"What kind of leg does such a young child beat?" Mrs. Qi smiled and hugged Qi'er into her arms, and asked Nian Nu to peel the loquat to feed him. Qi'er didn't want to feed the slave, but took it herself, didn't stuff it into her mouth, and held it high to feed Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi smiled, took it, and praised Peony: "It's hard for such a young child, the most well-behaved and sensible." ”

Peony looked at the triumphant Biwu on the side and smiled: "The child knows who is good to him, his mother feels so sorry for him, he is naturally willing to be filial to his mother." Biwu not only gave birth to him well, but also taught him very well. ”

Seeing Peony praising herself in front of Mrs. Qi, although Biwu was suspicious, she was still very happy: "The concubine is stupid, and she usually does it according to the rules taught by Mrs. Qi." ”

Mrs. Qi glanced at the two of them, and said: "There are no rules, you can't be a circle, if a family wants to be prosperous, you must be polite and knowledgeable, you young lady is generous, you must also keep the rules that should be observed, from tomorrow onwards, every day I will lead Qi'er over to the young lady to say goodbye." ”

Biwu's face changed drastically, and she didn't understand why this rule suddenly came up.

Peony also didn't understand. Since He Peony entered the door of Liu's house, the Liu family has always required her to be respectful and courteous, but she has never asked others to be courteous to her. In addition, she is often sick, not to mention that others come to ask her for peace, even if she asks Mrs. Qi for peace, she also fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, and it is not until the recent morning and dusk that the province is fixed. What the hell is going on with this all of a sudden?

Peony had a bad instinct, so she smiled and said: "Mother, the daughter-in-law's yard is far away, the children are still young, and they can't get up in the morning. ”

Mrs. Qi frowned unhappily and said, "You are not in good health, so you should be served by them!" If you like to be quiet, don't let them be noisy. That's it, they come to you every morning to say hello, and then you come to me together. Then he commanded Nannu: "Pass on my word, and no one shall disobey it!" ”

As a result, Peony and Biwu didn't dare to speak again, and they both fell silent.

The little maid said outside the curtain: "Madam, Miss Sun is here." ”

Mrs. Qi still didn't accept the grim color on her face, and said in a deep voice, "Let her in." ”

The little girl opened the curtain and walked into a beautiful woman wearing a small green and white jacket with silver and red arms, a turquoise flower skirt, a melon seed face, small mountain eyebrows, and a comb in a bun. The beauty was holding a one-year-old baby girl in her arms, and she saluted Mrs. Qi gracefully, and greeted the peony. It is Liu Chang's other favored concubine Yu'er and Liu Chang's one-and-a-half-year-old eldest daughter Jiaoniang.

Mrs. Qi looked at Yu'er's mother and daughter lightly, and said, "I just said that from tomorrow, the children will go over to say hello to their mother-in-law, and you must also hurry over to serve." ”

Yu'er was also a little surprised, and then quickly covered it up, and said meekly: "The concubine has long had this idea, but she is only afraid of arguing with the young lady, so she doesn't dare to go more." ”

Bi Wu glanced at Yu'er sarcastically, and turned her face away disdainfully.

Yu'er ignored her and greeted Peony's body seriously. Among all Liu Chang's concubines, only she and Biwu officially raised their aunts, and they each had their own favors, and they both had children.

Not long after, someone from outside came to report, saying that the Liu family's father and son had something to do and did not come back to eat. So Peony started, and several women respectfully served Mrs. Qi for dinner, and each said goodbye and went back to the room.

Peony walked to the door with her front foot, and Mrs. Qi spoke again: "Danniang, wait, I was interrupted by them just now, and I haven't finished my words yet." There are too few people in your room, how about I assign you a mother and a first-class maid? ”

Peony couldn't help but complain to herself, her good days of hiding and being idle were gone.
