(I'm sorry for the late update today~)

At the end of the day, a gorgeous carriage carved with eight auspicious patterns slowly came to Changle Street in Qingcheng County, Jinan Prefecture. The carriage had traveled a little farther away from the palace gate, and from the carriage came the voice of a woman with some tiredness in her kindness.

"Let's park the car first."

When the coachman heard this, he tightened the bridle in his hand and pulled the carriage aside, and stopped by the outer wall of the palace.

"This Wang family is no better than other families, it is a famous family that has been hairpinned for generations. If you enter the house, remember not to be rude in front of others. This time we came to apologize for the incident that collided with the third lady of the Wang family in the temple last time, although we just wanted to see the old lady on this ground, but the face has to be enough, when you should make amends, don't give me your score of the young lady of the He family, do you understand? ”

There were four people sitting in the carriage, an old man and a young master, plus a grandmother and a maid. The two masters, one old and one young, are the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law that Sanniang met in Qingming Temple that day.

Mrs. He Shao pursed her lips in response, and whispered with some disbelief in her heart: "It's obviously the little slut of Peach Blossom who is doing it." ”

Mrs. He scolded: "Everyone was beaten by you and rushed to Zhuangzi, what are you dissatisfied with?" ”

Mrs. He Shao was a little aggrieved: "Auntie, if she hadn't rushed to seduce you, how could I be so ruthless?" My cousin is so fascinated by her that he doesn't know what to do! As soon as I got pregnant, I told me about taking that little slut. This time I cleaned up the slut, and he threw a big tantrum at me, almost causing me to get my tires gasped. In the end, I gave him Ying'er, and he stopped! After speaking, he glared fiercely at the delicate maid who was waiting on the side, who had already combed the woman's head. The maid hurriedly bowed her eyebrows and knelt down.

Mrs. He waved her hand to interrupt Mrs. He's complaint: "If it weren't for that, how could I acquiesce to you sending her to Zhuangzi?" ”

"As for your cousin" Mrs. He saw Mrs. He's slightly red eyes and sighed: "How can a man not be greedy for freshness?" What woman didn't survive this way? When you have a son, these will naturally be light-hearted. ”

Mrs. He Shao lowered her head and touched her lower abdomen, which was not yet pregnant, and her eyes were a little dim.

"We have a sudden disaster in our house, and now we are walking on thin ice. Are there eggs under the nest? You don't have to feel sorry for yourself, you should wait until this disaster is over and then talk about the other things that you don't have. Mrs. He said a little tiredly.

Hearing this, Mrs. He raised her head and said, "What does my aunt need me to do, just tell me." ”

Mrs. He nodded with satisfaction: "Today, I will hand your post in first to see which master, even if you can't see the master, it is good to be able to talk to a decent housekeeper." ”

Mrs. He Shao was puzzled: "Why don't you hand over your aunt's post?" Isn't my aunt's face bigger than my young lady? ”

Mrs. He shook her head: "How can we, the merchants, have any face in front of the Wang family?" What's more, it's still a merchant who is suffering? Isn't your post or mine still the same in front of them? Today is just to show my face and try my attitude, so that even if I can't enter the house today, I will get better in the future. Several stewards of the eldest lady of the Wang family have some dealings with us because of the matter of buying and selling the grange this time, if you are not allowed to see him this time, I can also be cheeky to ask to see the eldest lady of the Wang family with this reason. ”

After speaking, Mrs. He took out a red gilded post and said to the grandmother: "Liu's family, you take the young lady's post to the concierge." ”

The Liu family took the post with both hands, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

In the Songling Courtyard, Mama Li was casually listening to some miscellaneous things reported by a mother-in-law in the inverted hood room, looking a little tired. She went back yesterday and thought about it all night and hardly slept, but the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Thinking back to Sun's attitude in the past few days, there are eight points in my heart, and I am sure that Sun must have heard something, and I am on guard against her.

Over the years, she has had a smooth life in the inner courtyard, and even the eldest lady Jin has to give three points of courtesy in front of her. She gradually lost the cautious and low-key behavior she had when she was young, and dared to disobey some harmless little things in front of the Sun family. Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat, if it was twenty years ago, she wouldn't have dared to kill her. It seems that she still has to be cautious in the future, and the Sun family also has to think of ways to let her relax her guard.

"Mama Li? Mama Lee? Mama Li was thinking about it, but she heard a voice shouting.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that it was Mama Liu who came forward to call her, Mama Li reached out and rubbed the eye acupoint between her eyebrows.

Mama Liu hurriedly said: "It's the mother-in-law over there in the concierge, and it was the young lady of the He family who handed over the post." Mama Liu saw a third-class girl coming in with a tea tray, and hurriedly stepped forward to test the temperature of the tea bowl on the tea tray with her hands, and then held it with both hands and respectfully handed it to Mama Li.

Mama Li shook her head and asked Mama Liu to put the tea bowl on the table at hand, and in a blink of an eye, she saw a third-class mother-in-law standing on the side who had just come in.

"Which one?"

The mother-in-law in the concierge had a rare opportunity to reply in front of Mama Li, and when she saw it, she hurriedly went up, but was stopped by Mama Liu.

"Just stand there and reply, you people from the outer courtyard don't bump into our Mama Li." Mama Liu glanced at the mother-in-law and said.

The mother-in-law looked at the clothes on Mama Liu's body, and secretly hated in her heart: Aren't you also a third-class mother-in-law? But he didn't dare to be presumptuous here, so he only smiled back to Mama Li and said: "It's the one on Aquarius Street in Xicheng, there are many spice shops in the family, and it is said that the He family is the richest man in Qingcheng County." ”

When Mama Li heard this, she remembered that she had recently heard rumors about the He family's suspicion of selling illicit salt, and frowned: "What is the young lady of the He family doing in our house?" ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "I heard the grandmother who sent the post say that some time ago in the Qingming Temple, her young lady accidentally bumped into the third lady in our house, so today I came to the house to make amends." ”

Mama Li's brows furrowed even deeper when she heard this, and she glanced at Mama Liu.

Mama Liu thought about it carefully, and suddenly clapped her hands and said, "I remembered it when I said that." As he spoke, he told the little episode when he entered the Qingming Temple.

After Mama Liu finished speaking, she rolled her eyes again, looked at the people in the room, stepped forward and whispered in Mama Li's ear: "Mama, the matter of Qingming Temple has been covered up. If this is mentioned in front of the old lady again, will there be any variables? ”

Hearing this, Mama Li waved her hand indifferently and said to the mother-in-law in the porter: "You went back to the people of He's house, saying that the third lady is in poor health and it is inconvenient to meet guests. The old lady and the eldest lady are receiving Mrs. Zhizhou, who came to pay a visit, and they are not available. "There are many people who come to visit the Wang family every day, and not everyone in the host's family has to see them. Many housekeepers who don't come and go often can be dismissed, and Mama Li is not a big trespasser by doing this.

When the woman heard this, she went away.

Mama Chang was tending to a pot of orchids in the backyard, and suddenly saw the little girl Agarwood probing her brain at the door of the yard, so she beckoned to her, and the little girl jumped and ran away.

"Mama, are you raising flowers?" Agarwood smiled and showed two small tiger teeth.

Mama Chang smiled: "It's okay to be idle, pass the time." People who raise orchids say: the sun is hot in June, and the fragrant branches and leaves are growing flowers; The gazebo water pavilion can be settled, or to the eaves to make a frame. In a little while, the flowers will bloom. ”

Putting down the small shovel in her hand, Mama Chang said again: "The old lady liked orchids very much when she was young, and she also planted several pots of precious varieties herself, and when she married into the Wang family, she also brought those pots of flowers, and later ......."

Later, a few birds raised by Mrs. Wang, the pots of orchids of the Sun family were ruined, and the Sun family was young and vigorous at that time, and he hated it, so he went to hug two cats to raise them in the room, and the result can be imagined. After that incident, Mrs. Wang did not enter Sun's room for nearly a year, and Sun never raised orchids since.

Mama Chang came back to her senses and saw that the little girl was looking at her curiously, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, and said with a smile: "Are you here to find me?" ”

Agarwood then remembered the matter: "Mama, someone came to the concierge just now and said that there was a young grandmother from the He family who handed in a post saying that she wanted to find the third lady to make amends, and was sent away by Mama Li." The maid thought that you asked the maid to pay attention to Mama Li's movements, and this matter was related to the third lady of the Hefeng Courtyard, so she came to tell you. ”

Mama Chang groaned when she heard this, nodded and said, "I know, you did a good job." ”

Seeing that the little girl smiled again and showed two tiger teeth, Mama Chang remembered that she was younger than her niece Qingniang, and she was even more helpless in this house, so she felt some pity in her heart, so she touched her head and said, "Although you usually pay attention, you must also be careful not to let Mama Li find out." If there's danger, don't go for it, it's the life that counts, you know? ”

The little girl nodded and said, "I know, Mama." I'll be careful not to be discovered. ”

Mama Chang instructed her a few more words, then went into her house and wrapped a bag of lotus seed candy out to give Agarwood and sent her to the front yard.

Mama Chang saw that Agarwood had gone away, stood in place and thought about it, and then walked out of Songling Courtyard from the sandwich.
