Before Sanniang went to sleep, Bai Ying called away the white fruit who was on duty at night today, and came in with a tea tray.

"What kind of tea is it today?" Sanniang raised her eyes and smiled.

"Miss Hui, it's chrysanthemum tea. In addition to doing embroidery work all day, the young lady practiced calligraphy and read, and her eyes were not idle for a moment. The chrysanthemums and wolfberries in this tea have the effect of protecting the eyes and eyes. ”

Sanniang nodded, took the tea bowl handed over by Bai Ying, opened the lid of the bowl, and saw that the white chrysanthemum was stretched, the red berries were bright, and it was beautiful between the ups and downs, so she couldn't help but bow her head and take a sip, the entrance was slightly sweet, and it should have been added with rock sugar.

"Miss, just now Mama Chang sent Agarwood to report that the old lady had recruited her after dinner, and asked her to make some good carriages and horses early tomorrow morning, saying that she was going to send Mama Li to Zhuangzi in Jiangnan." Bai Ying took advantage of Sanniang's tea break, bowed over, and whispered.

Sanniang lowered her head and took another sip, and a chrysanthemum entered her lips with the tea. Sanniang pressed it against the tongue and teeth and grinded it finely, and a unique fragrance of chrysanthemums drilled into the nose from the mouth.

"Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River, that's really a good place, the land of fish and rice, beautiful and rich, it's good for Mama Li to go there to enjoy her old age." Sanniang said lightly.

Bai Ying smiled when she heard this, and said, "It turns out that Miss will also bury people."

Sanniang smiled slightly, and did not argue.

"Miss, your trick is really powerful, the old lady didn't plan to drive Mama Li out of the house. Who knew that the eldest lord rushed back at this juncture, and his plea made the old lady lose her temper, and she was determined to send Mama Li out of the house, or the farther away the better. Your ability to calculate people's hearts is really an eye-opener for slaves and maids. Bai Ying stared at the three mothers, and did not hide the curiosity in her eyes.

"Bai Guo often says that people who read are smart, but she is wrong. Where is this scholar smart? But I learned a belly of bad water from the pile of old papers, don't you hear that 'every time you slaughter more dogs, you are all readers'? Your young lady and I have also been taught bad by this book. Sanniang winked at Bai Ying and said mischievously.

Bai Ying was stunned when she heard this, this was the first time she had heard of this, and how could she be so demeaning to a reader? The hesitation in my heart was let go.

She was also secretly shocked that her young lady had this ability to strategize at a young age. If these strategies are learned from books, then it makes sense.

And Sanniang, in the face of Bai Ying's little suspicion, didn't take it too seriously. The ancients probably lived shorter than modern humans, and most of them were precocious. It is very common for women to have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen in this world, so the women here are also involved in the struggle of the inner house at the age of flowers, so how easy is it to maintain an innocent temperament?

Therefore, in the eyes of Bai Ying, Chang Mama and others, she is more thoughtful than ordinary ladies of the same age. If it is linked to her current situation, it is not impossible to have this scheming, after all, hardships force people to grow.

On the contrary, just now Bai Guo said that she was good at calculating people's hearts and made her frown secretly, her grandfather had taught her that calculating people's hearts can only be a means, if you rely too much on this means, you may suffer from it in the future, after all, people's hearts are the most difficult thing to figure out. Sanniang was secretly vigilant in her heart.

There was nothing to say that night.

Early the next morning, it was not yet dawn. The backyard of Songling Courtyard was busy, but because of the orders from above, none of the maids and women who were busy cleaning up their things dared to make loud noises, and even the footsteps were softer than usual.

At this time, the Sun family had not yet gotten up, and Mama Chang was discussing the daily things in the courtyard with Licorice under the corridor of the courtyard, when she suddenly saw a mother-in-law probing her brain at the corner door leading to the backyard.

Mama Chang smiled and said to Licorice: "These things can be arranged very well by Licorice Girl, and there is really no need to discuss them with me." Just do what the girl just said, there seems to be something going on in the backyard, I'll go over and take a look. ”

When Licorice heard this, she was not complacent, but said sincerely: "The old lady handed over the affairs of this courtyard to the grandmother and the maidservant, and repeatedly told the maid that the maid must come to you to discuss something. You are older than your servant, and you see things better than your servant. Maid ask Mama Yu for advice, you just want Mama to give more guidance and teaching to Mama, so that the maid will take fewer detours and make fewer mistakes, and I hope that Mama will not dislike the maid for being stupid and stupid, and mention more. ”

Mama Chang smiled: "The girl is humble, how can there be such a stupid person as clear and clever as you?" Since the girl said so, then there are things in the future that we have discussed and done well for the old lady is serious, as for the girl who instructs and teaches, don't mention it. ”

Both of them are smart and alert people, and with this word, they set the pattern of getting along and working together in the future, and the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

Mama Chang said goodbye to licorice and went to the backyard.

Licorice looked at Mama Chang's back, but secretly made a decision in her heart. In the future, I still have to respect the old lady next to this old lady.

Although Mama Chang said that the two of them would be in charge of the Sun family's yard in the future, after all, Mama Chang's age was there, and she really couldn't really go past Mama Chang as a junior. And let's take a look at the trust of the Sun family over the years, Mama Li, who has infinite scenery in front of people, was planted so inexplicably, and Mama Chang, who has been suppressed by Mama Li, suddenly became active in front of the Sun family and regained the trust of the Sun family, and this Mama Chang's means should not be underestimated.

Mama Chang went to the backyard, stopped the mother-in-law who was probing her brain, and asked, "Tang family, what's the matter?" ”

The Tang family said respectfully: "Mama, the slaves and maids have been ordered by you to pack and load Mama Li's daily belongings, and they don't want to ......" The Tang family hesitated for a moment, and whispered a few words in Mama Chang's ear.

Mama Chang didn't have any other expression when she heard this, but said softly to the Tang family: "Take me to see." ”

The house where Mama Li lives is the largest of the rows of rooms in the middle of the backyard facing north and south, and it is a front hall and two bedrooms. Mama Chang entered the house, and only glanced at the whole set of Huanghuali inlaid luodian furniture, these furniture were a little old but they were the best, and they were replaced by the west wing in the courtyard where Mrs. Lu lived in the past.

At the door leading to the inner room stood two mothers-in-law, whispering.

One of them looked up and happened to see Mama Chang coming in, and greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Mama Chang, are you here?"

Mama Chang smiled and nodded, and said softly, "I heard that you found something when you were packing up your belongings?" ”

The grandmother saw that Chang Mama was amiable and had no arrogance at all, and she couldn't help but think that maybe it would not be a bad thing to change to a housekeeper. Therefore, when he saw this, he hurriedly and diligently brought Mama Chang to the six-pillar shelf bed of yellow rosewood.

"Mama, you specially instructed the slaves and maids to clean up the bedding that Mama Li used to use, and the slaves and maids and the Tang family found that there was a mezzanine in the middle of the bed board when they were cleaning up the quilt, and after disassembling the bed board, they found these, and they didn't know what to do."

Mama Chang stepped forward and saw that the bed board had been lifted, revealing a groove that was only three inches deep and the same width and length as the bed board. The groove was full of gold, silver, and jade, and a stack of paper on it. Mama Chang stretched out her hand and pulled out a piece of paper, but found that it was a silver ticket with a denomination of one hundred taels.

Mama Chang's eyes flashed, and then she commanded calmly.

"Go find a big box and pack it up. These possessions are too great, and I will tell the old lady. ”

Several mothers-in-law listened to the busy response, looking for the box, looking for the box, and cleaning up. Finally, he packed a box full of those belongings.

Mama Chang glanced at it, casually took out three silver ingots of about ten taels and put them on the bed, and said with a smile: "You have been busy all morning and worked hard, and you don't have the heart to swallow so much property, which is worthy of praise." Take one of these ingots, one of them. ”

When the three mothers-in-law heard this, they were so happy that they didn't know how to speak, this is ten taels of silver! The monthly routine of these mothers-in-law is only 800 yuan. Mama Chang said that it was a reward for not having the intention of swallowing privately, which was obviously an excuse. It is impossible to say that they did not think about it, but there are three people here, and no one can hide from the rest of them and swallow the property. Besides, there are a number of these things in Mama Li, if you finally find that the property is gone, thinking that the fish is dead and the net is broken, none of them can eat and walk around, but they know the temper of the old lady, so after discussing it, they thought about finding someone who can take charge.

"Slaves and maids, thank you for the reward." The three mothers-in-law glanced at each other, and they all happily stepped forward to salute and thank them.

Mama Chang nodded, and said softly: "You do a good job for the old lady, and the old lady will naturally not treat you badly." ”

A few mothers-in-law were busy.

Mama Chang said: "You continue to pack up, I'll go and hand over the box to the old lady."

Mama Chang picked up the box and went to the front yard.

"Mama, you came just in time, the old lady just got up and is looking for you." Agarwood, who was guarding the door, saw Mama Chang and hurriedly helped her open the curtain.

Mama Chang smiled and nodded, and entered the house.

Sun was drinking goat's milk custard, and when he saw Mama Chang coming in with a box, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Why did you hold such a bulky thing early in the morning?" ”

Mama Chang put the box on the table, hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to open the box. Sun was also shocked when he saw it.

Mama Chang told the mother-in-law how they found the mezzanine, and Sun didn't say anything after hearing it.

"These treasures are too huge, and the slave and maid are not good at making decisions on their own, so they came to the old lady."

"I always knew that she had some money, but I didn't want to be such a big sum, she really has the ability." Sun said lightly.

"What about these ......," Mama Chang asked.

Sun Shi stretched out his hand and rummaged through the belongings in the box at will, waved his hand and said lightly: "Leave her a hundred taels for the elderly, and the rest will be put into the warehouse." ”

Mama Chang received the order.

"The slave combed the old lady's hair first, and then went to the treasury to enter the account." Mama Chang bowed and said.

Sun Shi smiled when he heard this: "You are not greedy, and you don't have any thoughts when such a large amount of wealth arrives in your hands." ”

Mama Chang also smiled: "The slave has no children and no daughters, and the closest person is only a pair of nieces and nephews except for the old lady, what do you want to do with these?" The old lady treats the slave and maid well, and the slave and maid have the cheekiness to beg the old lady to let the slave and maid retire in the house, and this life will be complete. ”

When Sun heard this, he remembered that Mama Chang really didn't have any relatives, and saw that she didn't beat around the bush but bluntly made a request, and believed her a little more, and said: "What's so difficult about this, you have served me for many years, and the Wang family should have raised you for the rest of your life." You can pick a few of the things in the box and leave them with your favorite ones and add makeup to your niece later. ”

Mama Chang hurriedly knelt down and thanked Sun.
