Chapter 266: Caught off guard

Xue Shi paused for a moment when he heard this, and when he saw Wang Dong coming over, he smiled like a flower: "The concubine body knows, it's just that you don't feel sorry for Mama Xue, but the concubine body is distressed, tomorrow, I'll go find a doctor to show Mama Xue first, if it's really fine, I'll let her continue to manage the backyard, so that I feel less guilty in my heart." ”

Wang Dong was dazzled by her smile, and stroked her face with a smile: "You are so nervous about her body, then I will rely on you." Anyway, this backyard is also your mother's business, and the master is just making a suggestion. ”

Xue smiled shyly, but got up from Wang Dong's arms, glanced at her gently, and walked away lightly and told the little maid to go to the kitchen to take a look, is dinner ready.

Wang Dong laughed, didn't entangle, and went to the next room.

Xue waited for him to leave, secretly glanced back at his back, stuck out his tongue, and smiled mischievously.

***

On the second day, early in the morning, Xue was discussing with Sanniang about moving the yard, and the mother-in-law in the outer courtyard ran in a panic and reported that the old lady was coming, and the carriage had entered the city gate and was coming in the direction of the house.

Xue and Sanniang were both surprised.

"Didn't you say it would only arrive tomorrow?" Xue Shi sat up straight from the kang in surprise and asked the mother-in-law in the outer courtyard.

Sanniang coughed lightly, and the Xue family immediately reacted that his words would make people suspect that the old lady was not welcome to come, so he hurriedly said in a relaxed tone: "I know, you sent someone to wait in front of the palace gate, and as soon as the old man came out, he told him that the old lady had arrived." In addition, send someone to the school hall to talk to the young masters. ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly went, and Xue hurriedly said to Sanniang: "Sanniang, what should I do now?" The old man told me that the old lady would arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and asked me to move the yard today. Because the dresser in the back wing room was repainted not long ago, the old man said that there was a smell, so it was too late to move once, but I didn't want my mother to come today. If I had known that, I should have moved the dresser out to dry. ”

Sanniang was really panicked when she saw Xue. also understands that she was nervous because she was released as soon as she married Wang Dong, and basically never got along with Sun's mother-in-law. Sanniang comforted her and said, "It's okay, don't mess up by yourself." Mother, you better take advantage of this time to change your clothes, and don't comb your hair again. Just add a few more pieces of solid jewelry. ”

Xue Shi then remembered that he was only wearing a moon-white plain gown. It's also a simple hairstyle on the head, but fortunately, it's not impossible to see people, otherwise if you redress your makeup, it's really too late.

Xue was so shocked that he immediately ordered the maids to come up to change their clothes and touch up their makeup.

Sanniang saw that she didn't have any help here, thinking that she should also go back to the room to change into clothes in the color that Sun liked, so she said goodbye to Xue.

When Sanniang quickly changed into a silver-red flower-colored silk jacket and a goose-yellow pleated skirt. Xue Shi has also changed into a solemnly colored dark purple carved silk placket, and a golden step has been inserted on his head. Compared with the idle and lazy image just now, it is naturally much more solemn.

Xue Shi rubbed some rouge and dotted it on his lips. The rest of the afterglow slapped on his cheeks.

Seeing Sanniang coming in, she hurriedly stood up and took a turn. Nervously asked, "How's it going?" Am I okay with this? ”

Sanniang looked at it and nodded: "It's okay, that's good." ”

Xue Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said outside: "Quickly send someone to guard the street entrance, and a carriage to the old lady will come to report." ”

A maid responded, hurriedly ran towards the main gate, but when she walked to the second door, she collided with a mother-in-law who ran in, and the two of them said "ouch" at the same time, and the mother-in-law looked up and saw that it was in Xue's room, put the collision aside, and said hurriedly: "Go and inform Madame, the old lady's carriage is about to arrive at the entrance of the alley." After saying that, he hurried out again.

The maid was stunned for a moment, then reacted, immediately turned around and ran to the main room, and when she arrived at the door, she hurriedly shouted: "Madam, the old lady is already at the mouth of the alley." ”

Sanniang listened to it in the house, stroked her forehead and sighed. The master was in a hurry, and the people below were all in chaos, it seems that she will have to ask Mama Zhuang to teach the Xue family a good lesson in the future. It's just a little bigger, and it's been like this, thanks to the simple population of the three-room now, otherwise I don't know what it will become.

Thinking that the Xue family had only taken over the responsibility of the housekeeper not long ago, Sanniang didn't say anything.

Xue stepped forward and pulled Sanniang and said, "Quick, let's go to the second gate to greet the old lady." ”

Sanniang thought that this was also how it should be, so she nodded and responded. After thinking about it, he said to Xue: "Grandmother is here, mother, do you want to go to the fifth sister's room to say something?" If she can get up, it would be better to greet her. ”

Xue Shi then remembered that there was another Wu Niang, and while he was busy pulling San Niang out of the main room, he instructed Qing Dai: "Go to the fifth lady's room and say it, and say that the old lady is here." ”

Wu Niang has been sick since she knelt all night that day, and this time she is really sick.

As soon as Sanniang and Xue stood under the corridor next to the second gate, Qingdai came back: "Madam, the fifth lady is still sick." Just now the slave maid went in to see, she was asleep, and the maid next to her said that Miss Wu had a nightmare last night, and she never slept well, and closed her eyes when it was almost dawn. ”

Xue sighed lightly and didn't say anything more. I invited a few doctors to come, and they all said that it was just a little laughing, not a big problem. Xue Shi thought that Wu Niang should mainly have heart disease.

Aunt Cui sat down by herself, but she was tired with Wu Niang.

Just thinking so, Xue saw a group of people on the other side of the gate hugging a few people walking towards this side, and Xue held Sanniang's hand tightly.

Sanniang pinched Xue's and smiled at her encouragingly, then let go of her hand and glanced at Xue's, and the two of them lowered their heads slightly and stood aside with respectful expressions.

Sun came over soon, and Sanniang and Xue bowed.

Sun snorted softly from her nose, and Sanniang looked up, but saw that it seemed that because of the fatigue of the journey, Sun looked a little tired, and even thinner than when she was at home.

Sanniang gently touched the Xue family beside her without a trace, and the Xue family was overtaken and stepped forward to help the Sun family.

The woman holding Sun's right hand stool smiled and gave up her seat, letting Xue's hand hold Sun's.

"Mother, hold on to your grandmother." The woman smiled and saluted the Xue family, very gentle and quiet.

Sanniang's face remained unchanged, she stepped forward to greet the woman, and shouted "Second Sister" with a faint smile.

Erniang still had that kind smile, looked Sanniang up and down, and nodded: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but the third sister has grown taller and looks better." "A gentle eldest sister's head.

Sanniang pretended to bow her head shyly.

Sun said in a loud voice: "Qiong'er, you helped my hand, Wan'er, you stand aside and replace your second sister." ”

The woman holding Sun's left hand put Sun's hand and said to Erniang: "Second sister, grandmother can't leave you for a moment, you can help grandmother." The tone was respectful, and there was not a trace of dissatisfaction.

Only then did Sanniang realize that it was Siniang Wang Wan who was holding Sun's other hand.

Erniang nodded and smiled at Sanniang, walked to Sun's side and helped Sun carefully. Siniang walked over, first saluted the Xue family, and then walked to Sanniang's side and looked at Sanniang from head to toe, and pulled out a smile: "I haven't seen you in such a short time, but the third sister has been reborn." ”

Siniang's eyes are naked, which is very uncomfortable, looking at her performance just now, I thought she had grown, and I didn't want to be so ignorant. Sanniang was disgusted in her heart, but she nodded with a light smile on her face: "The fourth sister is not far behind." ”

Siniang's eyes moved away from the bead hairpin on Sanniang's head, and she looked like she was smiling without smiling.

Xue and Erniang had already helped Sun to the direction of the main house, and Sanniang and the others were also busy following.

Sanniang was walking behind, but she kept looking at the few people who were walking in front, and saw that although Sun was supported by the two, she only turned her head and whispered something to Erniang, the smile on Erniang's face was gentle, and she couldn't stop nodding. is a picture of harmony between ancestors and grandchildren, but Sanniang couldn't help frowning slightly.

During the time she left, what happened made the Sun family's preference for Erniang to this point. Just saw her and Xue, but except for the time when they saluted, they didn't pay attention to it anymore. And Xue thought that he had done something bad and annoyed Sun, and he was worried about it.

There was a chuckle in her ears, Sanniang tilted her head, and met Siniang's somewhat arrogant gaze: "Third sister, now the second sister is the first proud person in front of grandmother, you have to stutter well." Otherwise, if you accidentally make the second sister angry, then ...... Grandmother won't spare you. ”

Hearing this, Sanniang nodded and said lightly: "Thank you Fourth Sister for reminding me." ”

Siniang snorted lightly, turned her face, and no longer spoke to Sanniang, but walked a few steps quickly to Erniang's hand and walked with her.

Xue helped Sun to the main seat, and officially saluted Sun, and Sanniang also stepped forward to greet Sun.

Siniang swept her eyes through the crowd and chuckled, "Why don't you see the fifth sister?" Could it be that even when her grandmother came, she had to put up a shelf? It is said that the rules in the capital are big, and I see how it is becoming more and more unruly. ”

Xue Shi was a little embarrassed when she heard this, wasn't she talking about her discipline party?

Afraid that the Sun family would not like it, the Xue family hurriedly explained: "Mother, Wu Niang is sick, and she didn't deliberately come to greet her. ”

Siniang wanted to say something, but Erniang said with a smile: "The fifth sister has been weak since she was born, and her grandmother knows it, so her mother doesn't have to worry." ”

Siniang glanced at Erniang when she heard this, and immediately stopped talking, and only turned her head to look at the furnishings of the house.

"Is this for my grandmother? Look at the spaciousness of the old house. (To be continued)
