Chapter Eighty-Six: Night Terrors

Chen Qiaoqiao's face was relaxed, her expression was calm, and she said: "Why can't Qiu Xiang and Dongmei be the maids of the Chen family, not as good as Chunlan and Xia Sheng, they are your companions, and others will inevitably guide them not to move." 【Fengyun Reading Network. ] Can't the Chen family's maid mother-in-law move and there is not a single maid in this flat house, everything has to be done by Huifang herself, it really shouldn't be, and Wanrong, she is about to give birth, but there is only one maid, and it is quite wooden, it is not good, tomorrow to find a tooth woman, and buy two maids is serious"

Hu Feng couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Mother-in-law, this is not a family, I don't know that oil and salt are expensive in our family, where is there spare money to invite people, this family is fortunate not to starve to death, I don't know how much heart I have broken to buy two more maids, and it costs monthly silver, as well as chewing all year round, and clothes for the four seasons, what a big cost"

Hu Feng couldn't imagine that Chen Qiaoqiao not only had to call Qiuxiang and Dongmei, but also had to buy another person, Ye Wanrong couldn't help but be a little excited, she was also thinking about it, although the Chen family is not a big family, I am afraid that the nurse or something will not be able to invite, but in the future, she will have a child, there is only one maid, and Chen Zhen has to take care of it, it is really not enough, seeing that Hu Feng has four maids alone, she is really uncomfortable, but she doesn't dare to say anything, for fear of asking her to give her the maid's monthly silver.

Ye Wanrong looked at her mother-in-law's eyes and felt a little grateful, after all, she is a mother, she can understand her difficulties, where will she be like this Hu Feng, she doesn't lay eggs, and there are so many maids who are overlords Thinking of her mother-in-law's generosity in the past few days, she always said that she wanted to give her own money, she just gave herself ten taels of silver, and said that she would find a room for Zhongkang, and she would give the silver; Now she said that Qiu Xiang and Dong Mei's monthly silver was also from her, and this rich and generous appearance is not rich

"What the hell is your name, how much silver does it cost to buy two maids, Qiu Xiang and Dongmei's monthly routine, I came out, and then I bought the maid, but to make up for this shortage, is it to spend an extra penny, and besides, it doesn't cost much to chew This Shu Ping said that it is also the third young master, there is not a maid who serves closely, there is only one small maid, but you yourself are hugging back and forth, I don't know how many people laugh behind your back, you are mean, the little uncle is still graceful, don't say anything else, but say that the credit of this branch and leaf can't be wronged, as for the silver in this gong, it is not enough, I've already thought about it, I'll give you two hundred taels in a few days, this is the silver that your father-in-law lent to others, and I haven't come back, these days my mother-in-law is going out early and returning late, and he has already agreed, and he will pay it back in a few days, otherwise, my mother-in-law will go to the house to complain, this young lady of the Bao family is called Aunt Chen."

Looking at the shocked looks of the two daughters-in-law, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but feel a little proud. It's rare to be majestic once

This silver belongs to Chen Wei, and she can't swallow it all to herself, so she will give them some first, but she can't tell the truth, if she knows that there are five hundred taels, they won't give up at all

Hu Feng couldn't help but be silent, if she had two hundred taels of silver, she would not be able to object, as Chen Qiaoqiao said, the maid she bought again was just to fill the gap, where would she use two hundred taels if she chewed it, how could she earn it, but I don't know why, thinking of the charming autumn fragrance, Hu Feng's heart was uncomfortable.

Ye Wanrong thought of something else, "What kind of person does my mother-in-law owe my father-in-law money, how many people live where" Chen Qiaoqiao glanced at her, "Ask so much what to do, mother-in-law will not be able to do without you" My father still owes it, and asked about it, but Chen Qiaoqiao didn't want to say it. She didn't want to share this windfall with them, she held it in her hands, and gave them as much as she could, it was a great feeling

"Okay, this matter is settled, say it another day when Ya Po comes, I will choose it myself" Chen Qiaoqiao stood up, couldn't help yawning, and went back to sleep is serious.

"Mother-in-law, you can also do this, this is this Qiu Xiang I have already decided, after the New Year, find a good family for her, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve my mother-in-law for long" Hu Feng thought for a while, or put the words in front, if the mother-in-law doesn't know the inside story of this, it will be bad to make her own decisions.

"Bang" Chen Qiaoqiao patted the case, "Of course, the maid of the Chen family is in charge of me, when it is your turn, you can take care of your own girl" After speaking, without waiting for Hu Feng to come back to his senses, he went back to the room by himself.

Hu Feng couldn't imagine that this mother-in-law would not give her face so much, she was trembling with anger, Ye Wanrong also quietly took her son away, and there were only three Hu Feng's masters and servants in the huge front hall. "Grandma, don't be angry, it's not worth it," Xia Sheng persuaded.

"How can I not be angry" Hu Feng sat down, "Mother-in-law obviously knows my intentions, so she stopped my little hooves of Qiu Xiang, it must be the reason she is looking for, I can see that she is restless, and she is still playing the idea of the eldest young master, she is also worthy of me As long as Hu Feng is alive for a day, she will not want to enter the gate of the Chen family" Hu Feng knocked on the case table hard.

Chen Qiaoqiao went back and slept well, extremely peacefully. She didn't wake up until Si Zuo and Si You came back, and when she saw the two children's expressions, she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

They said in unison, "We're fine," and looked at each other, as if this was a good rhetoric for a long time. Chen Qiaoqiao sighed, don't say that she also knows, it must be Patriarch Chen who showed them face again, it can't go on like this

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but think about it, don't you want Chen to take five hundred taels of silver, and she doesn't know what to do in the future, and she still relies on this silver to get around Wei Zijin Didn't Wei Zijin say that she was going to open a girls' class It would be better to go there to study after the New Year, alas, I knew that I shouldn't be so anxious, and sent the child to study.

Chen Qiaoqiao didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "Go wash your face, it's time for dinner" The two children nodded sensibly, which made Chen Qiaoqiao sad for a while, no, I will ask tomorrow first, if it can be done, I won't go to the Chen family ancestral hall. But there are still more than ten days to go before the New Year, and the silver should have fallen into the water

When they arrived in the front hall, Chen Bonian and Chen Zhongkang had already returned, everything was as if nothing had happened, and the dinner was peaceful.

Back in her room, Chen Qiaoqiao picked up the needle and thread and embroidered the flowers. It's really that there is no show at night, boring to death, she has always been a night owl, how can she sleep so early, so she embroidered cross-stitch from memory. The origin of cross-stitch can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, when Yao women had embroidered brightly colored patterns on their dresses with cross stitches, and the form of a unique style, called Hua Yao picking flowers, has been passed down to this day. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the Han women of Huangmei in Hubei Province gave rise to a double-sided flower picking process, called Huangmei picking flowers, in which the cross picking flowers is also one of the commonly used needle methods, and it is still one of the representative traditional crafts in the local area today. The wadding process in southern Shaanxi also often uses cross-stitch to pick flowers in southern Shaanxi. So when it came to the Song Dynasty, it was nothing.

Chen Qiaoqiao herself is just embroidering to pass the time, just some very simple colors, what she has in her hand today is Wufu Linmen, thinking that if she can embroider it before the Spring Festival, she can take the opportunity to decorate the room.

Unconsciously, it was late at night, and the children were asleep, Chen Qiaoqiao was asleep because she was sleeping in the afternoon, but she was sleepy at the moment.

At this time, I suddenly heard some noise outside, which was creepy in the cold late night, "Who is who" Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but shout. But there was no sound, it was because she scared herself that there was no sound for a long time, and Chen Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the roof tiles had a sound again, and it was very messy, Chen Qiaoqiao finally couldn't help it, and rushed out of the door to see that it was Yinhuo fighting with a black-clothed masked man

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be stunned, what was the situation, the two of them were entangled in everything, very fiercely, and slowly the black-clothed masked man fell to the bottom and left. Yinhuo wanted to pursue it, but Chen Qiaoqiao shouted, "Brother Yin, what's wrong?"

Silver Huo hesitated slightly, and the black-clothed masked man had long since disappeared. "Madame, let's go back to the room as soon as possible, and close the doors and windows quickly" Seeing that the courtyard of the Chen family was brightly lit, Yinhuo's eyes flashed, and he left incognito.

Although Chen Qiaoqiao was surprised, she also hurried back to the room, just for a while, Chen Bonian and Chen Zhongkang had already arrived, "What happened to Erniang just now?"

Chen Qiaoqiao agreed after a long time, and opened the door, "What are you doing when you come so late" Chen Bonian and Chen Zhongkang are both martial arts practitioners, and they are very vigilant, what happened just now has alarmed them. But in order to cause unnecessary trouble, Chen Qiaoqiao deliberately pretended not to know, she was a widow, and it would be bad if there were any rumors that were blind in the dark

"Erniang, didn't you hear any movement just now," Chen Bonian said suspiciously. "No," Chen Qiaoqiao yawned, "I slept soundly, and I was woken up by you."

Chen Bonian looked around, but he didn't notice anything suspicious. Chen Zhongkang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Xu is a night owl running around, it's not a big deal"

Chen Bonian was slightly uneasy, he seemed to hear the sound of a fight just now, although it was not obvious. But now it seems that there is really nothing, so he nodded, "Erniang, you close the doors and windows, if there is anything, you must remember to shout loudly."

Chen Qiaoqiao nodded, "I know that it's late at night, so I have to get up early tomorrow and go back to rest."

Closing the door, Chen Qiaoqiao had time to think about all this, who was the black-clothed masked man, what was he going to do, why did this silver fire appear here, and why did they fight
