Today's wind is beautiful, the weather looks good, Jin Zhao ordered people to move the flowers and plants in the house. Among them, there are two pots by the window that are Xia Lan, Jin Zhao does not spend much time on them on weekdays, and she is going to give them to Concubine Jing Niangniang in a few days.

Qiao Ci pointed to the two pots of Xia Lan and said, "Miss, you see, those two pots of Xia Lan grow very well, and under the careful care of Miss, they are now blooming."

She didn't know when Jin Zhao learned to grow flowers, and when she first sent it, she was still a little worried, afraid that she wouldn't be able to adapt to the new environment, but now she saw the two pots of Xia Lan grow so well, which was beyond her expectations.

Jin Zhao nodded and said, "Concubine Jing likes to plant some flowers and plants on weekdays, and I don't know if she will like it when I give it to her when I go back?"

When Qiao Ci heard this, he said: "These two pots of Xia Lan are difficult to plant, but the eldest lady planted them so well, if Concubine Jing Niangniang knew, she would definitely like it, last time the slave maid saw that there was also an orchid in her bedroom, and she must also like orchids."

Jin Zhao looked at her and said, "You are a careful person."

It was precisely because she saw that there was an orchid in her house, so she wanted to plant something different, in her previous life, Concubine Jing had planted Xia Lan, but it didn't seem to have succeeded, she thought that if she planted it herself and gave it to her, it would be a pity to help her.

Hearing Jin Zhao praise her, Qiao Ci said with some embarrassment: "The eldest lady is a careful person, and the slave maid is just learning to be a caring person with the eldest lady."

In his previous life, Su Jinzhao was not so careful, he was led by the nose in a daze, and he did many ridiculous things because of this.

But fortunately, there is a Qiaoci by her side, reminding her all the time, and because of this, she has been scolded a lot, but this girl is dedicated to the Lord and does not take it to heart.

Jin Zhao came back to his senses and asked Qiaoci, "Qingwen, this girl has been out for a long time, hasn't she come back yet?"

Qiao Ci looked at the time, shook her head and said, "It's all this time, it stands to reason that she should go back to the house, the slave didn't see her come back, I think it was delayed outside."

Hearing this, Jin Zhao thought to himself for a moment and said, "Although she is not as cautious as you, she is not a girl who has no sense of proportion, and she hasn't come back for so long, nothing will happen, right?"

Seeing that the eldest lady was worried, Qiao Ci said: "That's right, she is not a person who has no track to do things, if the eldest lady is worried, the slave maid will go out and look for it."

Jin Zhao thought for a while and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, wait a while, if you haven't come back yet, it's not too late to let the housekeeper send someone out with you to look for it."

She didn't want to make a big fuss, otherwise she would be seen and a joke would be born.

Qiao Ci nodded and replied: "Listen to the eldest lady, if she doesn't return to the house later, the slave will go out to find it again." I think that a big living person will not be lost for no reason, and the eldest lady doesn't have to worry too much. ”

These words are not only to comfort the eldest lady, but also to herself, in fact, she is a little more worried than the eldest lady, but she went out to buy snacks, and it is not very far away, it has been going for so long, it is really a little abnormal. I usually go out to buy something, and I have come back a long time ago, so I won't be delayed for so long. She even thought about the reason why she got lost, but she thought it was unlikely. After all, Qingwen has been going back and forth many times, and she didn't always come back well in the past.

The two were talking, and they saw the maid Qingwen coming back with pastries in her hands.

Jin Zhao raised her eyes and looked at it, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and so did Qiao Ci, she walked towards the other party.

"Why have you been there for so long, seeing that you haven't come back for a long time, the eldest lady is worried." Qiao Ci said.

Qingwen was a little embarrassed when she heard this, she said: "Originally, I came back early in the morning, but I met Miss Ximei, the maid beside my wife, she went out to do things for my wife, so I said something and delayed, it was the slave maid who was not good, so you are worried."

While speaking, Qingwen showed a look of self-blame.

Jin Zhao waved his hand and said, "It's not in the way, just come back."

Qingwen handed the dim sum to Jin Zhao: "Master, this is the hibiscus cake you want."

Jin Zhao took the snack and asked casually: "Since you met Ximei today, have you ever heard her talk about the Su family, what is the current situation of the Su family, and is Su Jinling still being punished by her father to kneel in the ancestral hall?"

When her mother came over, she didn't ask much, she only knew that Su Jinling was punished by her father to kneel in the ancestral hall, and she didn't have time to ask about the specific situation of the Su family.

Qingwen replied: "I heard Ximei say that the second lady knelt all night, and her body couldn't stand it for a while and fainted, so she invited a doctor." The general was worried that something would happen, so he exempted the second lady from punishment. ”

Qingwen told Jin Zhao the ins and outs of the matter.

Jin Zhao looked at the snack in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "I can't imagine that my sister really used any means to save her father from punishment, but I can't do it."

Qiao Ci's eyes tightened, and she said, "What does the eldest lady mean...... Second Miss is pretending to be sick? ”

There was an element of surprise in his tone.

Jin Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said slowly: "Aunt Shen has been accustomed to Su Jinling since she was a child, and she can't see her being wronged, and now her daughter is punished by her father to kneel in the ancestral hall for reflection, as a mother, how can she sit still, I am afraid that I don't know how many times I have been to the ancestral hall with my father sending a maid, Su Jinling is nominally to introspect, but whether she is really punished or not, you have to say something else." But it's not a way to just send things to visit, she always has to plan for her daughter. Speaking of this, she looked at Qingwen and continued, "Is Aunt Shen crying in front of her father like before this time? ”

Qingwen nodded and replied: "The eldest lady guessed right, the slave maid heard what Ximei said, when the lady instructed her to invite the general to Yinghua Pavilion for dinner, Aunt Shen took this reason to stop, crying in front of the general, the general couldn't for a while, so he rejected the lady and stayed in Rongxiu Courtyard. The slave didn't understand, it was obviously the second lady who did something wrong, but it became the reason of the second room. ”

Hearing this, Jin Zhao frowned, and said with a smile: "My father can't see a woman shed tears in his life, and Shen Manxin's usual trick is to show weakness in front of men and pretend to be good, even if my father is ruthless to punish Su Jinling, I am afraid that after her such a trouble, he will compromise in the end." Wasn't it just that the mother who was so forced had no way out and accepted her into the house. Unexpectedly, after so many years, she hasn't changed at all, and she still wants to use the previous tricks to change her father's decision, that is, her father eats her. ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something, so she asked Qingwen: "You just said that your mother asked Ximei to invite her father over for dinner, right?"

After that, she shook her hand, so her mother knew about it, but fortunately, her mother only sent someone and didn't go in person, otherwise she would be affected by seeing such a scene.

Over the years, because of the original incident, Fu has been haunted by it and has never let go. The matter has come to this, in order to take into account his father's feelings, he accepted Shen's mother and daughter on the surface, but he was unwilling to interact with them in private, even if Shen Man was cheeky and came to Fu to make amends, he was mercilessly blocked by Fu at the door.

Emotionally, Fu Shi is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, Shen Manxin betrayed her like this, making her laugh and talked about, how could she easily say forgive and forgive.

In this life, I'm afraid it's impossible.

It's just that it's rare for Fu Shi to take the initiative this time, but because of the second room, he was rejected by his father, as if he was forced to pour cold water on him, how can he feel good in his heart because of such a taste.

Jin Zhao felt deeply, she was not like this at the beginning, and her enthusiastic and smiling face again and again ended up disappointed again and again.

It's just that Fu is a strong woman in her bones, even if she can't hold her face, in front of her subordinates, she will pretend to be calm and pretend not to care. I don't know, I think she really doesn't care, but who can understand how she feels at the moment?

When he was young, in order to marry his father, he refused to come to his door to propose marriage, just to be his wife to Su Jiannan.

The general's wife, who seems to have infinite scenery, has her husband to share with another woman, which is a naked humiliation for Fu.

If it was not Su Jiannan who was chosen, but someone else, she might have lived a dull life in her life, although she couldn't compare to the scenery in front of others, but because of the wealth of the Fu family, she would not marry a poor family, not to mention that she would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life, and most importantly, she didn't have to beware of the calculations of a woman like Shen Manxin every day.

At the beginning, her mother insisted on choosing Fu Ye for her, not only because she took a fancy to the other party's character, but also really considered for her, Jin Zhao understood her mother's hard work, but she herself was not the same as her mother.

Once she has true feelings for someone, even if the best man in the world appears in front of her, he is not as good as that person.

At this time, Qingwen replied: "Ximei told the slave maid like this, when she went to invite the general, Aunt Shen was there to pull the general to complain while being sad and sad, the second lady was unconscious, and the general rejected Mrs. after thinking about it left and right, Ximei had to go back to Mrs.

Hearing this, Jin Zhao's heart tightened, what a face-saving person his mother was, when she heard her maid say such things, I don't know what kind of mentality she faced it, but unfortunately she was not by her mother's side at that time, if she had a temperament, she would not be able to see her mother suffer this anger, but I was afraid that people would have rushed to Rongxiu Courtyard to expose the trick of the mother and daughter on the spot.

Qingwen pursed her lips and said loudly: "Ximei said that Mrs. has been panicked since that beating, and she is not in a very good mood, that is, when the third young master comes over, she rarely smiles."

When Jin Zhao heard this, he secretly pondered, with his younger brother accompanying his mother, his mother could be regarded as having a sustenance. Fortunately, my mother is a strong person, and she has survived the wind and rain before, and it must be the same this time. I just hope that my father can understand my mother's hard work over the years, and don't let down her love again.

Then, Jin Zhao sighed and said: "Although Aunt Shen used means to get her father to forgive Su Jinling, this incident also reminded my father, at least Su Jinling, who has always been well-behaved and sensible in his eyes, is not like him, who wants to marry a high family, at least let his father see it clearly, isn't it?"

This sounds like it was said to two maids, but in fact, it was just for herself.

Qiao Ci said: "What the eldest lady said is that the words that the second lady said in the garden before, the meaning couldn't be clearer, she is jealous of you marrying the third prince, and she also wants to marry into the heavenly family." Fortunately, the eldest lady was not encouraged to help her, otherwise the favor not only did not help, but also affected the eldest lady, which was really not worth it. Not to mention how the second lady treats you on weekdays, what Aunt Shen did to Mrs. at the beginning, normal people would not do this, but Aunt Shen did it, not only did it, but also made Mrs. a joke in the city, so that she and Mrs. have been sisters for so many years, but if they take into account Mrs.'s feelings, they will not betray Mrs. regardless of the so-called sisterhood when Mrs. is pregnant with Miss Miss. The slave maid thinks that it is okay if the eldest lady does not help. ”

Jin Zhao heard this and raised his eyes: "You really think so?"

Qiao Ci glanced at Qingwen and said, "Not only the slave maid thinks so, but even Qingwen thinks so." At the beginning, the relationship between the eldest lady and the second lady was good, and the slave maid was just a maid by your side, so naturally she didn't dare to say anything, for fear of saying too much in front of you and making you angry. The eldest lady can understand this truth, and see the second lady's personality clearly, and the slave will no longer be verbose in front of you in the future. ”

Jin Zhao thought to herself, Qiaoci did not say much about this girl, she was still angry at that time and punished her a little, in front of Su Jinling, she remembered a few times, at that time Su Jinling pretended to stop it, now thinking about it, the words she said seemed to arouse the anger in her heart.

Jin Zhao smiled secretly and said, "You were scolded a lot for this, but don't take it to heart."

Qiao Ci hurriedly said: "Where did the eldest lady say, how could the slave and maid remember it, but the eldest lady was kind to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid remembered it one by one, as for the rest, the slave and maid forgot it."

At the end, Qiao Ci said softly: "It seems that the general has forgiven the second young lady, presumably this matter is over."

Jin Zhao pondered for a while before he slowly spoke: "It seems like this, but Su Jinling's temperament is really willing to give up?" She was a little skeptical, and thought about it, even if she didn't want to, what could she do, since her father knew about it, for the sake of the Su family's face, he wouldn't allow her to do anything out of the ordinary.

She looked at the dim sum in her hand and said to Qiao Ci: "The third prince helped this time, this is his favorite hibiscus cake, you help me give it to him, as a thank you for his help this time."

Qiao Ci hesitated for a moment and asked, "If the eldest lady sends it in person, the third prince will definitely be very happy."

Jin Zhao shook his head and said, "I won't go, you can send it for me."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Qiaoci responded, took the snack and walked out of the house.

Qingwen on the side was puzzled, the eldest lady bought a snack, why didn't she send it in person? Although there were doubts in my heart, I didn't ask them.
