Chapter 18: Mama Li's Weakness

Sanniang went back to Hefeng Courtyard, but Bai Ying returned to the courtyard later.

Bai Ying went back to the main room and saw that Sanniang had placed an embroidery frame in the left room and was embroidering, Bai Zhi and Mama Zhao were not there, and Bai Guo was waiting beside her. Bai Ying scolded Bai Guo and waited by his side.

"This embroidery is really a manual job." Sanniang stood up and admired her "Shoubi Nanshan Map" embroidered less than one-tenth from a distance. This picture was picked by Mama Zhao, it is a birthday star Weng followed by a big green cow with two big longevity peaches and two total horned fairies, the background is a fairy mountain, Sanniang pondered for a long time and couldn't figure out the artistic conception of this. And she can't embroider, Mama Zhao only asked her to embroider the word "Shou" with hidden lines, and the rest of the complex graphics were done by Mama Zhao and Bai Zhi, the two gunmen.

Bai Ying glanced at the embroidered picture when she heard this, and couldn't help laughing. A smart person like Miss San somehow lacks talent in embroidery, but the color matching is better than others, and even Mama Zhao praises her.

Sanniang moved her wrist lightly and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Bai Ying glanced out and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so she walked up to Sanniang and leaned over slightly and whispered.

After listening to this, Sanniang pondered for a moment and said: "In the future, when you go to your grandmother's yard every day, you will go to her, and if there is anything to report, you will tell her this tomorrow." Sanniang asked Bai Ying to come over and explain in detail.

Bai Ying nodded again and again after hearing this, but she had some questions in her heart.

"Miss, Mama Li has been serving by the old lady's side for so long, although Mama Chang is also an old man next to the old lady, but that affection cannot be compared with Mama Li after all. Mama Chang ...... her"

Sanniang smiled when she heard this: "What kind of person is grandmother in your heart?" ”

"This ......" Bai Ying hesitated for a while, after all, she didn't dare to evaluate the master at will.

Sanniang didn't embarrass her, and asked, "What do you think Mama Li has always been favored by her grandmother?" ”

Bai Ying tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Because Mama Li has been by the old lady's side since she was a child, she naturally knows her best. And Mama Li is the nurse of the eldest master, and she is more decent than others? ”

Sanniang stretched out her hand and stroked the embroidery picture on the embroidery frame: "Mama Li understands the old lady, which is indeed the most important advantage for her to get to where she is today, but on the other hand, why doesn't the old lady understand her?" Of course, the old lady may not know one-tenth of the old lady as much as Mama Li, but what I want is one-tenth of the tip of the iceberg. ”

Bai Ying blinked and didn't quite understand.

Sanniang didn't explain much, but said: "The old lady only needs to know what Mama Li might do according to her temperament, and whether she does it or not is not within our consideration." ”

Sanniang sat down next to the embroidery frame and took the needle and embroidered two more stitches.

"As for you saying that she is the nurse of the eldest lord, this was indeed her reliance on the inner courtyard in the past, but this advantage is only in front of the other servants in the house. And this 'advantage' in front of the old lady may become her fatal mistake. ”

"Why? The Wang family has always been filial piety......" Bai Ying said but suddenly stopped, and her eyes widened in shock.

Sanniang raised her eyes and glanced at Bai Ying and smiled slightly.

"This word 'filial piety' is not something that anyone can bear! In the eyes of the old lady, he is the eldest son and treats each other as elders, and it has never been possible to have such a person as Mama Li. "The Sun family is the feudal old lady who pays the most attention to the dignity and humility of the concubine.

"Besides, grandmother, she asked Mama Li to guide her aunt to manage the inner courtyard on her behalf, and she didn't want to see Mama Li get too close to Qiuheng Courtyard." Originally, Mama Li was what she used to contain the Jin family, if Mama Li and Qiuheng Yuan were united, wouldn't the Sun family just wait to be set aside?

Sun's decades-long struggle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after the death of the late Mrs. Lu Shi finally ended in her victory, and Sun's control of power can be said to have reached a point of paranoia. Although she seems to be indifferent to things on the surface in the past few years, she pays more attention to health care and does not want to worry too much about family affairs, but this kind of delegation of power is based on the premise that the entire inner courtyard is under her control.

Bai Ying is already smart, and she already understands seven points when she is dialed by Sanniang, and she is even more convinced of Sanniang in her heart.

The two were talking, and there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Sanniang concentrated on embroidering again.

"Ever since the lady left, my studies have been abandoned. I heard that my aunt was looking for a new husband, but I didn't know when I would be able to arrive. "The girls of the Wang family used to learn literacy and poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with a female gentleman. It's just that this female gentleman returned to his hometown in late spring this year, and the ladies of the Wang family have been reading and practicing calligraphy by themselves in their respective courtyards for the past two months. As for embroidery, there are many maids and grandmothers with excellent embroidery skills in all rooms of families like the Wang family, so they are all in their own courtyards. Sanniang's daily activities in the past two months have only been limited to greetings, reading, practicing calligraphy, and embroidering, and she is a little nostalgic for the days when she first came.

"I heard that the eldest lady has sent someone to look for her in the capital. Miss is so good at learning, and she has never left the book since her husband left, so she will not be wasted. ”

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Bai Zhi came in with a large bowl with a blue and white entwined lotus flower pattern.

"Miss, the slave went to the kitchen and got a bowl of chilled sour plum soup, and it was just cool after walking this way, you can use some."

Sanniang looked at the fine beads of sweat on her forehead and asked her to put the bowl down to wipe the sweat.

"Go get a few small bowls and drink them separately, I can't drink such a big bowl." Sanniang instructed Bai Yingdao.

Bai Ying went down in response.

Sanniang asked Bai Zhi to rest on the small pestle for a while, and continued to study needlework by herself. In his heart, he was thinking about his attitude towards Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi and Bai Ying are both her second-class girls, and the ladies of the Wang family do not have first-class girls, so there is no difference between these second-class girls and first-class girls.

Bai Zhi is gentle and obedient, and her temperament is even better than Bai Ying, but Sanniang never gives her some secret things to do. Bai Zhi is a person assigned by the Liu family, and there is a widowed mother and a young brother in the Zhuangzi. With such an obedient temperament, and an obvious handle in Liu's hand, Sanniang didn't want to use her. Although Bai Zhi doesn't look like the eyeliner deliberately arranged by the Liu family now, it may become a breakthrough for the Liu family to enter the Hefeng Courtyard in the future.

It is impossible for Sanniang and Sun to have a situation of not dying, but because of the existence of Wang Jing, the situation between the Liu family and the Liu family may be uncertain in the future, and it is clear that this woman, who is the father of Ping, sent all the attendants in front of her with vigorous means after the death of her mother Zhao, this woman will never be a fuel-efficient lamp.

Thinking like this, Bai Ying had already brought four small bowls in, Bai Ying and Bai Zhi divided the sour plum soup in the big bowl into four bowls, and Bai Zhi picked one up and gave it to Sanniang.

"The slave will send another bowl to Mama Zhao." Bai Zhi picked up another bowl.

Sanniang nodded and took a sip of the small spoon. The refreshing and cool taste is not bad, so I slowly finished a small bowl. Seeing this, Bai Ying hurriedly brought another bowl over and said, "Miss, let's drink another bowl." "But it's her own part.

Sanniang waved her hand and said, "Don't drink it, you can use it." ”

Bai Ying was no longer reluctant, and only put the bowl on the table and waited for Bai Zhi to come back and use it together.

After a while, Bai Zhi ran into the room.

"Miss, the young master has just come back, and he has already returned to the courtyard, and Mama Zhao has already gone to the left courtyard."

Sanniang frowned when she heard this: "Why did my brother come back at this hour?" ”

Wang Jing and the others stayed in the school until the end of school in the afternoon, and even lunch was sent by the house to eat in the school. It's just nine o'clock in the morning.

"But what happened?" Sanniang stood up and asked.

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "The slave maid heard from a little girl when she went to find Mama Zhao, so she came back to tell Miss." ”

"Let's go to my brother's yard and have a look." When Sanniang heard this, she took the lead out of the house.

Although Hefeng Courtyard is a remote courtyard, the scale is not small, the main courtyard has been empty since Zhao's go, only Zhao Mama takes people to clean it every day, and it is not broken. Sanniang now lives in the right side of the courtyard behind the right side of the main courtyard, while Wang Jing lives in the left side of the courtyard.

The layout of the left side courtyard and the right side side of the courtyard are exactly the same, and they are also three main rooms. Sanniang entered the main room directly without letting people report, but saw that in Wang Jing's bedroom on the right, Mama Zhao and Wang Jing's two big girls, Cinnabar and Angelica, were there.

"Hiss~Tap, tap. It's an arm, not a dough! Wang Jing's gasp.

"Young Master, why are you so careless? If something goes wrong with your arm and you can't hold the pen in the future, how can it be good? Mama Zhao said worriedly.

"Hey! It's okay, it's okay, Mama, you see that my skin is rough and thick, so it's so easy to break? It's not glass porcelain. Besides, it doesn't hurt my left hand, but I can still write with my right hand! Wang Jing said with a big grin.

"I've never seen a one-armed champion Tanhua, is my brother thinking about being unique?" Sanniang said that she had bypassed the people around Wang Jing and walked in front of Wang Jing.

Wang Jing looked at Sanniang who suddenly appeared in a little shock, and said, "Why is my sister here?" Didn't you tell them not to alarm that side? As he spoke, he glared at his two maids.

Wang Jing's two maids, cinnabar and angelica, angelica has a delicate face, a calm temperament, and does not like to talk, cinnabar, apricot eyes and red lips are very beautiful, and her temperament is also a little lively.

Angelica was glared at by Wang Jing and did not defend it, but Cinnabar pursed his lips and sneered: "If the fifth master is scolded by the third lady, he will only be angry with us little girls!" I don't want to think that you have entered the inner courtyard with a big living person, and the west side courtyard is only a stone's throw away from us, can you not know? Do you want us to run to the complaint? ”

Wang Jing was choked by cinnabar, and he was not angry, but he touched his head a little embarrassedly, looking at Sanniang and not knowing what to say.

Mama Zhao whispered to the cinnabar: "There are no rules!" You said that, guys? Scold you and listen to it! ”

Cinnabar stuck out her tongue and stood aside with her head bowed and didn't dare to make a sound anymore.
