The people of Songling Courtyard turned over on their backs, but the Hefeng Courtyard was calm.

After Sanniang took a nap, she went to the study to write a few big characters as usual, and when she felt that her wrist was a little sore, and she was about to sit down to drink tea and rest, Bai Ying came in and said a few words in Sanniang's ear.

Sanniang slowly swallowed the tea in her mouth, without lifting her eyelids.

"I see, you can go to Songling Yuan later." Sanniang explained Bai Ying in detail again.

Bai Ying wrote it down carefully, and when Sanniang finished explaining, she asked, "Miss, it seems that this time the old lady has completely disgusted Mama Li, why do we still do this?" ”

Sanniang put down the tea bowl in her hand and shook her head: "The hundred-legged insect is still dead but not stiff, Mama Li has been operating in the Wang family for more than 30 years, and she has been in love with the old lady since childhood. ”

"When you can't be sure that your enemy has been completely routed and unable to fight back, don't give him a chance to breathe, find the right opportunity to give him a fatal blow." This is once when she was playing chess with her grandfather, her grandfather said to her, Sanniang thought of the old man who always took care of her in every way, for fear that she would not be able to adapt to the old man outside, and her eyes were a little sour.

"Don't make enemies for yourself, but if the hostility is already established and the enemy is aware of your existence, find a way to kill the source of the danger that may cause you in the future." Sanniang said softly.

Bai Ying was shocked when she heard this: "Miss......"

Sanniang calmed down her emotions, looked up and smiled at Bai Ying: "Have you written down what I said just now?" ”

Bai Ying nodded and said, "The maid has written it down." ”

Sanniang stood up and walked to the bookshelf: "Mama Li has lost her momentum, and it is the time when grandmother needs to be employed, if Mama Chang does what I say, she will naturally be able to get the attention of her grandmother and slowly replace Mama Li's position in the backyard." ”

Sanniang took out a book from the shelf, looked at the cover, saw that it was a collection of poems and put it back, and then took out a book but it was a miscellaneous book of local customs.

"If Mama Chang can be in charge of the backyard, then Miss's life will be much better." Bai Ying said happily when she heard this.

Sanniang flipped through the miscellaneous book and said casually: "Maybe." ”

No matter where she is, she always has to rely on her own to slowly manage her life to get better and better, and pinning her hopes on others does not get any guarantees, nor is it in line with the education she has received.

"Go down and let Bai Zhi come in and serve." Sanniang took the miscellaneous book of customs to the couch and read it, and Bai Ying bowed and withdrew.

Bai Ying went to Songling Courtyard to tell Mama Chang word for word what Sanniang had explained, and Mama Chang went to Qiuheng Courtyard to see Mama Lin after Bai Ying left.

“…… The old lady was furious at that time, knocked off the bridge of Mama Li's nose, and then locked her in the utility room in the backyard. I tried to plead with the old lady, but I didn't want to be blamed by the old lady. Mama Chang sighed.

"How serious is it? We also heard the movement of Songling Courtyard today, and the eldest lady heard that Mama Li was carried out, and she was afraid that the old lady would call her to reprimand her because she was still angry...... It happened that Mrs. Yesterday received Mrs. Zhixian's post, and she was invited to the lady's lotus banquet. ”

Mama Chang thought for a while and said, "I listened to the old lady's words today, and Mama Li was not all blamed because of the old man's affairs. The old lady seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Mama Li before, so she took the opportunity to intercede today. ”

"Wouldn't the old lady be even more dissatisfied with our lady because of Mama Li?" Mama Lin frowned.

Mama Chang sighed: "It's my fault for this, if I hadn't made up my mind at the time, I wouldn't have the situation I have today." But since this matter is due to my negligence, don't worry, old lady, I will definitely find a way to help the eldest lady deal with the old lady in front of the old lady. ”

Mama Lin shook her head when she heard this: "What can you do, I think it's better for me to find someone to find the eldest lady back and discuss." You can't just keep hiding like this. ”

"Actually...... It's not like there's no way. Mama Chang was silent for a while, and stopped Mama Lin, who was getting up to send the girl to call someone.

Mama Lin paused when she heard this, looked back and asked, "What good ideas do you have?" ”

"This ......" Mama Chang seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Mama Lin waved her hand: "How can you tell me how good you are?" At this juncture, don't spit out, just say anything, if you can help our wife escape punishment, my wife and I will remember your love. ”

Mama Chang hurriedly said: "I'm not helping you to let you remember what I love." ”

After thinking about it, Mama Chang stepped forward and pulled Mama Lin to the chair and sat down: "I heard the old lady's meaning, that is, it is strange that the eldest lady did not take the eldest lady's affairs to heart, this is the most intolerable thing for a mother." ”

Mama Lin pondered carefully for a while and felt that Mama Chang's reasoning was very reasonable: "Hey! Our lady is really wronged, although this lord also respects our wife, but how can our lady just ask about the affairs of this outer court? spread to the point that he was going to fall into a reputation that he didn't know the general situation. ”

Mama Chang said, "But isn't it? Therefore, Madame must earn this breath in front of the old lady this time, and she must not make people feel that Madame is not virtuous. ”

"How?" Mama Lin said suspiciously.

Chang Mama said: "The outer courtyard fee that the eldest lady embezzled from buying this garden this time has not been made up, if the eldest lady can think of a way to help the eldest master fill this gap, the old lady will definitely feel that the eldest lady is virtuous and knowledgeable." The eldest lady has nothing to do with this matter, and she is willing to use her own money to fill the hole of the eldest lord, is it not because she is afraid that after the matter of the eldest lord spreads, the eldest lord's face will be gloomy? This kind of thing has always been done by the old lady, and now if the lady follows suit and compares her heart to her heart, can the old lady still think that the lady does not take the affairs of the eldest lady to heart? ”

"This ......" Mama Lin was a little embarrassed when she heard this.

Mama Chang said again: "Besides, if the eldest master knows about this matter, he will definitely respect the eldest lady even more." The eldest lady took this opportunity to persuade the eldest lord to let him stay less overnight, and the eldest lady would not be able to disobey the eldest lady's wishes again. So the old lady was even more satisfied. ”

"This ...... This method ...... "This method is not impossible, but to let the eldest lady take out the private room to make up for the hole in the eldest master's outside, this is really difficult, Mama Lin frowned and thought.

Seeing this, Mama Chang smiled and said, "The old sister is worried that the eldest lady will not come up with the money?" ”

Mama Lin glanced at Mama Chang, and finally smiled bitterly: "I won't hide it from you, if you want our wife to take out the private room, it will be difficult to do." ”

Mama Chang smiled when she heard this: "If you are willing to give up, you will have to give up." If Mrs. firmly grasps the power of the family, can she still worry about the dissatisfaction of the private house's money bag? ”

Mama Lin was a little embarrassed when she saw that Mama Chang said it so bluntly.

Mama Chang continued: "And it's not really that the eldest lady has to pay for it. ”

Mama Lin's eyes lit up when she heard this: "If you don't let Mrs. pay, then everything will be easy to do." ”

After Mama Lin said this, she felt that this sentence made people feel that the eldest lady was a little childish, and she was thinking about remedy, but Mama Chang didn't seem to take it to heart at all.

"My solution is to fill in the ice that will be used in the outer courtyard this summer, so that there will be nothing to do?"

Mama Lin frowned again when she heard this: "What are you doing?" Don't you have to pay for ice? If we say that we want to make up for the misappropriated money, we at least know where to exert our strength, but this ice ...... It's not that you don't know that this summer has come early, and the ice outside is also priceless, and those who can afford to use ice still don't have enough in their own homes, will they still lend it to us? ”

Mama Chang smiled: "Does the old sister look at me like a person who is a fool? I knew some way to come up with this idea. ”

"Oh?" Mama Lin was very interested.

"Didn't Madame buy some fields and Zhuangzi from the He family in Xicheng? By the way, that is, the He family where the eldest master bought the garden. Since they are selling the Zhuangzi Garden, they must be planning to reduce the household use, so the ice used this year will definitely be reduced. Moreover, these Zhuangzi gardens have stored some ice in the winter. Madame can add a strip when you buy and sell the Grange with the He family, and ask them to sell us the ice as well. As for the cost, it is naturally settled together with Tian Manor. ”

"Wonderful! That's a great plan! Mama Lin couldn't help but pat her legs and praised: "Mama is worthy of being an old man who has been favored by the old lady in front of her, and this kind of trick is also handy." ”

Mama Chang was ashamed when she heard this, and she smiled bitterly in her heart, this was not the method she came up with, the third lady was really a character.

"I'm going to get the lady back." Mama Lin said with a smile.

Mama Chang got up and said, "Old sister, you can talk to the eldest lady about this, and I will leave first." On the old lady's side, I have to persuade and persuade you first, and help you show your style. ”

Hearing this, Mama Lin said gratefully: "I really want to thank you this time, and I will definitely mention you in front of her when the eldest lady comes back." We'll get back to you later. ”

Mama Chang said with a heavy face: "Look what you are talking about!" Isn't that a separation from me? I only intervened in this hand because of our love for many years, and if you are willing to listen to my idea, you trust me, a worthless old woman! ”

Hearing this, Mama Lin hurriedly snorted and said, "Look at me, treat you as one of those people who tend to be inflammatory, and you should be beaten." I won't say anything about this in the future, but we still have to show it when we are slaves and maids, and don't stop me. ”

Mama Chang's face was slightly pale: "I knew that old sister, you understood me." I'll find the old lady to find out later, you have a good discussion with the lady today, and let the eldest lady come to the old lady's room early tomorrow morning to ask for guilt, remember to let the lady must show sincerity, the old lady must not care about it when she sees it. ”

Mama Lin was busy, personally sent Mama Chang out, turned around and sent a mother-in-law out of the house to find the Jin family.
