"Miss Ruyu and the third lady are living a ....... life now," Mama Xue said.

Xue Shi understood a little when he heard this, and felt that this cousin and cousin might not even be able to take care of food and clothing, so they put down the marriage beforehand.

Mama Xue didn't explain much, but knelt down in front of Xue Shi with her knees bent.

Xue Shi was startled, and hurriedly reached out to help: "Mama, what are you doing, get up quickly." ”

Mama Xue avoided Xue's hand, shook her head and said, "The old slave has something to ask for. ”

Xue Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Mama has something to say, as long as you can do it, Sister Feng will definitely do it, Mama doesn't have to be like this." ”

Mama Xue's body did not move at all: "The old slave wants to ask Mrs. to take the third wife and Miss Ruyu to live in the house." ”

Xue Shi hesitated a little after hearing this: "However, I can't make the decision on this matter myself, I'm afraid I have to ask the master what he means." ”

Mama Xue paused: "As long as Madame, you speak, the master will definitely be approved." ”

Xue was a little silent.

Mama Xue looked up at the Xue family: "Madam, the people of the Xue family have always been thin. You only have one sister like Miss Ruyu now, Mrs. and Miss Ruyu have always taken good care of Mrs. Ruyu when they were alive, and now Mrs. Ruyu is gone, but they must hope that you can help Mrs. Ruyu in the spirit of heaven. ”

Xue Shi sighed and nodded: "I will discuss it with the master, Mama, you should get up quickly." It's cool on the ground in autumn. If you suffer from old cold legs, it will be uncomfortable. ”

When Mama Xue saw that Xue had answered, she thanked her and stood up.

Xue smiled and comforted: "Mama don't worry, since they are my cousins and cousins." When I came to the house, I should take good care of myself. My cousin is eighteen years old this year, and it will be delayed if I delay it any longer. I will look to see if there is a suitable person to tell her a good family, and I will give her the dowry. ”

In addition to returning the Xue family's house property, the royal family also sent some gold and silver things. These are all collected by the Xue family themselves, and the Wang family should also be the dowry silver of the Xue family. There was no interference. In the past few years, Wang Dong's fortune has also been handed over to the Xue family to take care of, and the savings over the years have not been hidden from her, so the Xue family is now loose.

When Mama Xue heard this, she glanced at Xue. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" did not make a sound. Xue only thought that Mama Xue agreed with his meaning, and thought about mentioning this matter to him when the master came back.

"By the way, when will the fifth young master and the third young lady come over? Now the old lady must have received the old man's letter, right? Xue remembered this.

She was actually a little apprehensive in her heart. I don't know if these stepsons and stepdaughters are easy to get along with. Although I had some dealings with two girls when I was in the Wang family. knew that the third lady was gentle, smiled at everyone, and respected her. The second lady is lively and cheerful, but she is also quite well-behaved. And the old man's sister-in-law only asked her to say goodbye a few times after she got married, and each time she didn't have anything to say.

It looks like they are getting along well, but at that time, after all, the Wang family had their own yards, and it was naturally impossible to distinguish them in detail with little contact. This is back under the same roof. I don't know if I can get along.

Mama Xue raised her eyes and saw Xue's frowning brows to know what she was thinking, so she said solemnly: "Madam, you are their mother. How can you show cowardice in front of your children? Even if they are worried, they should worry about not serving you well. ”

Xue Shi smiled reluctantly when he heard this. In the end, it is a little less confident. In the past few years, Wang Dong has been very good to her, but she has not come out of the door for four years. A woman who has no children by her side is ultimately lacking a position.

Mama Xue shook her head when she saw this, the second miss was too weak. It's no wonder, how can the girl's belly be compared with the girl's belly?

"Madam, don't worry, there is an old slave here. The young masters and ladies of the Wang family are here, and they have to honestly abide by the rules of the Wang family in the capital. This is the capital, not Qingcheng County, Shandong, you are the master of this backyard, and whoever comes has to follow your rules. ”

Xue pretended to open his mouth, but after all, he didn't talk about this problem with Mama Xue again, but said, "Is the yard arranged?" ”

Mama Xue said: "The young masters are now older, and the master can't be in the inner courtyard, so they will be arranged in the two small courtyards in the outer courtyard. The two young ladies lived together in the west wing at the front. The old lady was arranged in the back room. ”

Xue nodded, thought about it and said, "Anyway, the east and west wings are empty, so let the two young ladies live in one compartment, so as not to crowd the two of them in one place." ”

Mama Xue frowned: "The old slave in the East Chamber wants to leave it to the third wife and Miss Ruyu to live. ”

Xue Shi then remembered that she had just promised to take the Xue family's cousin and cousin into the house, and thought that if it was not like letting the guests live in the back room, it would be okay to do it. Just thinking that Mama Xue seemed to have been arranged a long time ago, but she had just begged her to come to her, as if she had calculated that she would agree, and she was a little uncomfortable after all.

Mama Xue didn't pay attention to Xue's expression, and said, "I have already arranged for Pei Lan and Qing Dai to take the little maids to clean up the two cross-courtyards in the outer courtyard." The left and right wings also sent Mulian and Agarwood to go. Tomorrow I will find some furnishings from the storehouse and put them in, and if I lack anything, I will send someone to buy them outside. The bedding and cushions were sent to the pulp washing room at the back, and they could be laid out in a few days. ”

The Xue family knew that Mama Xue was a good hand in arranging housekeeping, and that was the case when she was by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xue, and her sister-in-law, Xue Meixin, was not afraid that something would go wrong.

Xue nodded as he listened carefully. She has been a maid, and she is no stranger to the affairs of the inner house, but she has no experience in directing people. But thinking that she couldn't always rely on Mama Xue to prepare everything like this, she herself didn't know how to be in charge of the house, so she also paid attention to learning.

This is still the maid named Agarwood reminded her, saying that if everything is done according to Mama Xue's words, it will be a little less majestic as a lady in charge. If she goes to someone else's house as a guest, she doesn't know when she talks to her wives about the affairs of the house, and she doesn't know about it, and it's bad.

The big girl Agarwood that Xue was thinking about in his heart is now picking up his sleeves and cleaning the West Wing with another maid Mulian, who also came out of the old lady's yard.

"Sister Agarwood, who is this place for?" Mulian has a lively temperament, and she can't change her twitter as soon as Mama Xue's line of sight comes out.

Agarwood has been much calmer in recent years, and said with a smile: "After all, it's either the third miss or the fifth miss." ”

Mu Lian nodded: "Sister Agarwood, why do you say that Madam even has to take Aunt Cui over this time?" I've heard the mother-in-law in the courtyard say before that the lady and those concubines are like dogs and cats, and they can't stay together, otherwise they will pinch each other to death. Even if the lady has a good temperament, she is still so generous. ”

Hearing this, Agarwood glared at Mu Lian: "Be careful that this is heard by Mama Xue, and it will make you suffer!" How many times have I reminded you, you are now a big girl next to Madame, not a third-class little girl. Don't chew on the root of your tongue with those mothers-in-law, and be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth. ”

Mu Lian stuck out her tongue, although she was also given to Madame by the old lady, but it was not long after she was brought up from the second-class girl because a big girl next to Madame suddenly fell ill, and she always lacked the consciousness of being a big girl. Agarwood is a first-class maid as soon as she comes, and she will please her wife, and now she is no longer the third-class maid in Sun's yard, and even Pei Lan and Qingdai, who were personally selected by Mama Xue to enter the mansion later, have to give Agarwood some face.

Because Mama Chang made it clear that she was going to punish the two of them, they didn't ask the little maid to help. In fact, they have lived in this house for a year, and although no one has lived in the east and west wings, Mama Xue has arranged for someone to clean it, and the work is not heavy. They also came from the little maids, so this little work is naturally not a problem.

Therefore, they wanted to be cleaned up soon, and the two packed their things again and went to the East Chamber.

When Mulian bent down to pick up the wooden basin, a small copper coin that she tucked around her waist fell out, and rolled all the way to the right side of the agarwood walking in front of her on the ground.

"Ah, my money!" Mu Lian hurriedly put down the wooden basin in her hand, rescued her money from the embroidered sole of the agarwood, pinched it in her hand and blew it and took back the small purse.

Agarwood stared at her embroidered shoes in a daze for a moment before reacting, and then laughed at Mulian and said, "Look at your miser's virtue, it's really a shame for our house." ”

"A penny is also money, you can buy a piece of osmanthus cake." Mu Lian was not ashamed, but said a little proudly.

Agarwood smiled and didn't say anything, but what she was thinking about at this time was that her left ear seemed to be all right now.

Thanks to the prescription that Miss Three helped her find, she took the medicine according to the prescription for several years. At first, I ate it every day, once a month for the past two years, but I didn't expect it to be really good.

***

And the old house of the Wang family, Qingcheng County, Shandong, since the Sun family said in the morning that they would send several grandsons and granddaughters to the capital in Songling Courtyard, everyone in the Wang family is happy and worried.

The two brothers, Wang Ji and Wang Jing, almost jumped up for joy when they heard the news since they came back. Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys are the age of fun, and they always want to go out for a walk, and now this great opportunity has come unexpectedly, and it is difficult to be unhappy.

Wang Jing was even happier when he knew that Sanniang would go with him. Otherwise, although he also wants to enter Beijing, I am afraid that in the end, he will prefer to stay because he is not worried about his sister.

And Bai has been worried since she went out of Sun's courtyard, and she is not all disappointed because her son can't go to the official school in the capital this time, she is worried that Sun will treat her children like her husband treated her back then.

Parents always want their son to become a dragon, so there is nothing more worrying for the Bai family than knowing that there is a mountain in front of them about their son's future. (To be continued)
