When Mrs. Yan heard half of it, she calmed down.

Ah Xia and Sister Dong each have only two girls around them, just out of the New Year, she proposed to pick someone to call the two, both of them replied, saying that there is no hurry, well, strange has to be in a hurry, people are here.

Mrs. Yan politely and warmly thanked Mrs. Huo and Xu Huan, and asked people to take a few bags of new tea and fresh food, and asked Xu Huan to take them back for the old lady to try, and then instructed her mother-in-law that the dozen or so people brought by Uncle Xu did not have to be brought to her, but were directly taken to Ming'an Courtyard and handed over to the third lady for placement.

Mrs. Yan returned to the council hall, and as soon as the day's affairs were half sorted out, Mrs. Yao sent someone to send a message, asking Mrs. Yan to come over, and the old lady had something to find her.

Mrs. Yan made a cold face, slowly finished sipping a cup of tea, and then stood up, and instructed her three daughters-in-law to continue to deal with the rest of the housework, and she took the manqing and went to Rongxuan Hall unhurriedly.

Old Madam Yao's face was gloomy and dripping water, she stared coldly at Mrs. Yan, who came in unhurriedly, watched her bend her knees and salute her, and then stared at her for a long time before she asked coldly: "I heard that people came to hit you in the face again?" ”

"Mother's words, daughter-in-law didn't understand." Mrs. Yan bowed slightly, and her voice was calm.

"Don't understand? You are such a smart man with eyes, you can't understand this? Old Madam Yao sneered, "You have been presiding over Zhongfeng for decades, and in this mansion, you can't even use it to summon people at this time?" Do you have to be sent to you? One application has to be supported by others, when did this house become poor and sour like this? How did I not know? ”

"Mother's words, daughter-in-law and children can't understand it even more." Mrs. Yan looked directly at Mrs. Yao, "Just now, the ancestor of the Xu family sent the uncle of the Xu family to send a few people over, the elders felt sorry for the juniors, and they were afraid that the people around them would not wait well, so they sent trustworthy subordinates to wait beside the juniors, isn't it common sense?" Didn't my mother send someone to wait with my eldest brother? It's the master, after becoming a parent, the mother is not at ease, and doesn't she often send people to wait by the master's side? ”

"Tell me about this." Old Madam Yao sneered again and again, "Your family is not very good, this cheek is too thick-skinned and scary, you tell me, in this capital, which patriarch sent someone to the other house?" I'll ask you for face, but you're shameless. ”

"It's because I'm not knowledgeable." Mrs. Yan owed her mistake and couldn't hear a trace of anger in her voice, she was too lazy to get angry with her, "Since the ancestor said no, it must be not, please show the ancestor, how to deal with this matter?" ”

"You're going to ask me about such a thing?" Old Madam Yao leaned forward slightly, and looked at Mrs. Yan angrily, "Do you still need to ask about such a thing?" In this Yongningbo Mansion, some people are summoning people, and she can't be allowed to reach in! ”

"Please ask the ancestor to show it, it's not that you need to ask the ancestor to show it, it's because the ancestor of the Xu family, the daughter-in-law is afraid, at least the daughter-in-law doesn't dare to provoke it, so I have to ask the ancestor to come forward and beat this slap in the face again." Mrs. Yan looked at Old Madam Yao and seemed to be smiling.

Mrs. Yao pursed her lips tightly, glared at Mrs. Yan angrily, her chest kept rising and falling, she suddenly grabbed the cup on the kang table, raised her hand and smashed it hard at Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yan hurriedly dodged and avoided it, the tea in the cup spilled all the way, and the cup fell to the ground and smashed it.

Mrs. Yan took a few steps back and looked at Old Madam Yao, "Ancestor, those who can't be provoked, just take a step back and let it go, why bother forcing yourself into a Jedi."

The ancestor of the Xu family, I don't dare to provoke, if the ancestor dares, the ancestor will go by himself. Xiao Sanfang, I don't dare to provoke, if the ancestor dares, the ancestor will go by himself.

Everything, the ancestor also has to think about it more, the ancestor wants to send Sister Dong to the wilderness and kiss, you know what happened later, right? The matter of harmony has been done. The Jiang family's tea, did the ancestors drink it?

The ancestors are not for their children and grandchildren, but also think about themselves, if the ancestors have a good one, the master, the second master, and the third master will be painful for two or three years, but the grandchildren, after all, there is a layer of separation. ”

"How dare she?" Old Madam Yao pounced forward, "What do they dare to do?" If she dares to go to the Ministry of Rites, I won't dare? I see which one can afford this unfilial piety! ”

"What the ancestor said is very true, the ancestor please take care of himself, the daughter-in-law does not dare to disturb the ancestor more, and the daughter-in-law has retired." Mrs. Yan didn't want to say a word, so she bent her knees and stepped back, turned around and left.

Li Xia got the letter, turned to Ming'an Courtyard in a few steps, stood under the porch, first looked at the little girls standing in the courtyard, looked at them one by one, and then entered the upper room.

In the upper room, Mama Shan, the housekeeper who had to be used by Mrs. Huo's side, was talking to Mrs. Xu, and when she saw Li Xia coming in, she hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Say hello to Jiu Niangzi, Jiu Niangzi is really good-looking today." ”

"Mama Shan is good, Mama Shan is also very good-looking today." Li Xia hurriedly returned the salute, and praised it with a smile.

Mama Shan couldn't stop laughing, "No wonder our old lady has crooked eyes when she mentions the ninth sister." The old lady asked Jiu Niangzi to say goodbye, and she had already sent someone to find the things that Jiu Niangzi wanted, saying that it was not easy to find, so let Jiu Niangzi wait patiently. ”

"Don't worry, thank you grandma, thank you Mama Shan." Li Xia sat down next to Mrs. Xu and said with a smile.

"I heard that the ninth sister was naughty again yesterday?" Mama Hong took the tea handed over by the girl and handed it to Li Xia.

"Nope!" Li Xia dragged out his voice and firmly denied it, "Sister is here, I don't believe you asked my sister." ”

"You tear down the roof, and your sister has to cover it up for you: she wants to dry the house!" Mama Hong unceremoniously blocked Li Xia's sentence, and Mama Shan burst out laughing, laughing while greeting Li Dong on her knees, "Congratulations to the sixth lady." ”

Li Dong hurriedly returned the salute, and his face was crimson.

"Has my grandmother seen the Dong family's brother?" Li Xia's eyebrows flew up, and she looked at Mama Shan and asked.

Mama Shan couldn't stop laughing, "Why didn't you read it, I got the letter yesterday, I couldn't sit still in a hurry, I inquired about the meeting of the young master of the Dong family in the Feng Courtyard, and hurriedly went, stuffed such a large piece of silver into the shopkeeper, and squeezed out of the private room, and your grandmother lay on the door of the private room, and looked at it for half an hour through the crack in the door." ”

Li Xia laughed when he heard this, Li Dong's face turned red, he wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, the tray in Su Yexiao's hand trembled, and all the tea in the tray spilled out.

Mrs. Xu was speechless and wanted to laugh helplessly, and Mama Hong said to Mama Shan while laughing: "The old lady still has the temper when she was young. ”

"Not really." Mama Shan looked at Li Xia and stopped laughing, before she continued: "The old lady said that there are a total of twenty-four girls, saying that she asked the wife to pick a few first, and the rest to the sixth lady and the ninth lady, the old lady also said," Shan Mama looked at Li Xia, "Among these girls, there are a few who are not very tame, let the nine ladies pick them out and use them." ”
