Without further ado, that night, the third lady went to the eldest lady and told the story that the partnership was not a success. Hearing what Xiqing said, the eldest lady's face drooped down at that time, her face was dark, and she didn't even say a polite word, and directly invited the third lady to come out.

The third wife felt a little discouraged, she didn't sleep well that night, and the next day, she went to serve the ancestor early in the morning. Who knew that as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw a few little maids waiting there in a silent voice, and they didn't even dare to come out, and the room was so quiet that they could hear a needle falling on the ground.

Knowing that she had upset the ancestor, the third lady didn't dare to make a sound, so she stood there quietly. After a cup of tea, a big girl came out of the warm pavilion, wearing a small jacket with silver and white piping satin floral dark pattern placket, and a pink floral trouser underneath, a bun was held obliquely, and it was obvious that she had just woken up.

The third lady saw that she was the most powerful big girl beside the ancestor, named Qingtao, so she stepped forward, smiled, nodded, and said in a low voice: "Is the ancestor good?"

Pursing her lips and smiling at the third wife, Qingtao pointed to the warm pavilion and shook her head.

Seeing this scene, the third lady knew that this was the old ancestor who was angry, and she didn't dare to speak out at the moment, and she didn't say a word outside the warm pavilion.

I don't know how long I stood for a long time, but I heard laughter outside, but it was the voice of the young grandmother in the long house. How many people in this room didn't dare to make a sound, but she let go of her courage and smiled, and the laughter was hearty.

"Hey, old ancestor, this is the younger you live, isn't Ming'er like a child, but someone wants to carry it away. Before the young grandmother entered the house, people shouted.

At one time, the maid who opened the way in front of her hurriedly opened the scarlet felt curtain, so she saw a pretty young woman and entered the house with a smile.

Because she came in from the outside, it was cold outside, she was wearing a sable Zhaojun suit, wearing a light gold colorful embroidered gown, and below was a big red lake blue silver rice bead bamboo leaf dress, and a gray squirrel cloak with silver silk and gold thread on the outside, the rouge was just right, the powder was full of spring, Ying Ying smiled, and entered the house like this.

Inside the house, there was the one who was sulking in the warm pavilion, but when he heard this, he was not annoyed, but sneered:

"You girl, poor mouth, early in the morning, come to me to disturb my old woman's dreams, this knows that you are filial, if you don't know, you should still hope that I will not sleep well, or return to the West as soon as possible, so as not to hinder your eyes!"

At the end of the words, "hindering your eyes", the words were heavy again, only to hear the third wife's heart, understand that it was herself, and hurriedly lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

When the young grandmother entered the house, the phoenix eyes slipped the third wife, and she was expected to go down to the warm pavilion, so she laughed and said:

"Ancestor, you still said that you didn't live younger and younger. Now that the sun is about to shine on the buttocks, the ancestor is still lying in bed and can't get up, isn't this like a child? Let's hurry up, pick up our ancestors, and go out to bask in the sun. ”

As soon as he said this, the old man in the warm pavilion laughed again.

So the green peach saw this, and hurriedly greeted the little maids, and for a while someone held or whisked the dust and rinsed the bowl, or the tail towel and other things, and also served a carved lacquered wood tea tray, which placed a small white cover bell with a rich pattern of flowers and flowers, but it was a gargling tea.

Staggered over, and the young grandmother also served the old lady with Qingtao to get up. And Aunt Guo in the eldest master's room, that is, the biological mother of the fifth girl, also followed the eldest and young grandmother in at this time, and wanted to reach out to serve the old lady.

It's just that the people around this old lady are all human spirits, and where there is room for her to interfere, it is nothing more than watching from the sidelines.

Seeing this, the third wife hurriedly followed, accompanied by her, and helped serve tea and water.

It's just that the old lady saw the third wife, but there was still a little displeasure on her face:

"How old have you been here?"

The third lady was speechless for a moment, when she first came in, she didn't dare to speak, but now that the eldest and youngest grandmothers are here, she doesn't know what to say.

He lowered his head at the moment, smiled respectfully, and said:

"Old lady early. ”

I only said this sentence, but I don't know what to say the rest.

"Old Ancestor, in my opinion, the third wife is the most filial piety, she got up early in the morning and came to wait for the old ancestor, I don't know how much better than me. Look at me, I'm here sooner or later, but I really deserve to fight!" he said, and slapped his pink and tender face.

"You little girl, no wonder I feel sorry for you in my heart, isn't it the best at making me happy. ”

This old ancestor looked at his most proud grandson and daughter-in-law with a smile, but there was a bit of pampering in his old eyes.

The old ancestor's eyes flashed, and he looked at the third wife, and his eyes were cold again, with the sophistication and gloom unique to the elderly:

"I can't blame you for not coming to watch over me in the morning. I'm old, but I'm not confused, and I know that you're busy taking care of this big family. Our family, food and clothing, which is not silver. There are so many people in and out, which one should not be disciplined. Now your second wife is weak and doesn't care about anything, so you and your eldest wife have to worry about this, but it will exhaust you. ”

As he spoke, he sighed and said:

"The world thinks that those who stand before them are filial, but this is really unspeakable. Staying in front of him, serving him day by day, may also protect his evil intentions. Those who do not keep in front of him, but in their hearts, they remember you and this family, and they are also filial. ”

With such words, the third wife's heart shrank together, she didn't dare to raise her head, and fine sweat oozed from her forehead.

For a moment, she almost felt like she was wrong.

The clenched hands didn't know where to swing.

The eldest young grandmother glanced at the third lady with a smile without a trace, but said:

"Third wife, I heard that the third girl is sick, but now it is very good, although there are no good things left in the treasury, there are still a few ginseng sticks, if you like it, pick it up, and also make up for the third girl's body." ”

"You girl, you really let me say something good about you!" The old ancestor patted his thigh, pointed to his in-law granddaughter-in-law, and sighed again and again: "Your heart is certainly good, but you have broken your heart for this family, and you also remember the three girls." But when you say this, I panic for you. Didn't Mrs. San send me a few old ginseng sticks a few days ago, which are all good things for hundreds of years. Now where does she see you, she doesn't have to say it to make people laugh. ”

Seeing this, the third lady stepped forward with a smile and said:

"The daughter-in-law didn't dare, but the young grandmother was kind, and the daughter-in-law was very grateful. Even if the third girl knows, she has to say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and it is really good. ”

Seeing this, the eldest young grandmother took the opportunity to take the third wife's hand:

"Third aunt, I was originally young, and I didn't speak and do things properly, so you have to forgive me. I always tell my ancestors that among these girls, the third girl is the best, which is also the third wife's good upbringing, and it is not in vain that I like to deal with the third girl the most in the past. ”

The third lady was originally a clumsy person, and at this time there was nothing to say, but she felt that the hand held by the young grandmother was hot, like a stove, roasting her uncomfortably.

She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't see the difference, so she felt extremely difficult.

At this time, the ancestor had already gargled his mouth with tea under the service of everyone, spit in the gargle, and wiped his mouth with a towel.

The ancestor is also a family of Houmen, it is said that he has been a big lady since he was a child, and he is very pampered, but now that he is old, he is also picky about this meal. Even if you have breakfast, you also need eight vegetarian and eight meat soups. Nowadays, there are not many dishes, and they are packed on delicate small plates, and they are placed there one by one, which looks extremely good.

At present, the third wife and the eldest and young grandmothers serve the ancestors together, one holds a chopstick, and the other takes a plate to help pick up the vegetables.

This young grandmother is a clever man, and suddenly said:

"Oh, this stewed eggplant looks different from ordinary eggplant, my ancestors tasted it. ”

Suddenly there was a fuss:"

I've never seen this peach blossom roasted wheat. ”

For a while, the old lady was only happy, and said with a smile:

"You're a kid, no wonder you don't know. Today's peach blossom roasted wheat was when I was a girl in the past, I followed my mother to the queen mother's banquet, and I saw it at the banquet, and later I also learned to do it. Yesterday I had nothing to do, so I told the kitchen how to do it and asked them to make it for me. ”

When the young grandmother heard this, she sighed more and more:

"If you want to talk about the old days, how beautiful and decent the old lady was, it was the banquet of the old lady, she went to it, or she was blessed. ”

Naturally, the old lady was happy again:

"Poor you, where have you seen the world. If you were born more than ten years early, you don't know how much scenery you have. ”

"Old lady, I want to tell you the truth today, and you don't want to be greedy. If you want to talk about the scenery, it's hard to say, you must know that the eldest girl of our country's mansion is Princess Ning, and the future scenery is difficult to say. In the future, we will be really beautiful, if your old man is greedy, but he is too old to walk, but you want us to help us walk!" said the young grandmother.

Her words hinted that the Jingguo Mansion would become more and more beautiful in the future, and also hinted that this ancestor would definitely live for a long time, but she was amused by what you don't want to be greedy for, and the ancestor was naturally happy when he heard it.

When he was talking, he heard a big girl named Hongxing outside, who was the same as Qingtao, walk in, but said with a smile:

"The four girls came to greet the old ancestor. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the scarlet felt curtain was lifted, and the second girl, Ah Rong, the third girl, Ah Yan, the fourth girl, Ah Ning, and the fifth girl, Ah Luoyu, came in.

The four girls wore a pale pink embroidered red chrysanthemum collar gown, a gray leather skirt sprinkled with flowers, and a double blessing ring around her neck, which was also half-new. She is only six years old, and Ying Ying has come here, but she has the style of a daughter-in-law, smiling calmly, not impatient.

The second girl who followed behind her, although she was eleven years old, was already slim, and she was wearing clothes similar to the four girls, which were also half-new, but after she wore the same clothes, she felt timid.

The second girl came in with the fifth girl, although these five girls were young, but they were born with slightly picky eyes and a small melon seed face, which was extremely cute. It's just that she was raised in her aunt's room in the past, her eyelids were shallow, and her behavior was extremely frizzy, and that beauty made her feel superficial.

The third girl, Ah Yan, who followed closely, looked at the fifth girl without a trace, thinking that she was afraid that she was not much better than her in her previous life, but in this life, she had to polish herself well, and she had to cultivate her temperament and style.

At this time, Ah Yan faded all kinds of gold ornaments in his hands, leaving only a red gold coil around his neck, and a few spring flowers picked this morning on his head. The spring flowers are delicate and yellow, reflecting her jade-like skin more and more exquisitely.

The eldest young grandmother looked at the past, but she was a little surprised, and smiled meaningfully in her eyes:

"Ah Yan is dressed up well today. ”
