"Isn't the old lady good enough for her, you say? The dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, if you add the previous sixteen lifts, is much more beautiful than most of the nobles in the capital. ”

"But I can't see that I'm good, the old lady gave me a piece of satin, or a piece of jewelry, and she had to come and grab it. Even if the old man looked at me twice more and said a word to me, she would argue for a long time......"

"It's only been a few years since An's birthday, but she's back again, it's really ......" In the end, Aunt Fang opened her eyes, and her back molars clucked!

Turning his head to Ji Xiang and said, "Go and see what the second miss is doing?" Keep her away from there. ”

Ji Xiang just stopped, and was about to agree, and heard Aunt Fang say: "Forget it, I'll go there in person, she may not be willing to listen to other people's words." ”

Ji Xiang hurriedly held Aunt Fang's hand, helped her up from the soft couch, and the two of them went out of the yard one after the other.

-- Dividing line --

In the Xianfu Hall, Li Mei and her son He Yunqing accompanied Mrs. Tai to dinner, and after arranging for their son to go to the West Chamber for a temporary rest, they chatted with Mrs. Tai in the inner room for a while.

She glanced at Mama He, and then looked back at the inner room.

Because of her company, Fang and his daughter have not seen each other for many years, so naturally they have a lot to say, so they didn't let the maids wait, because now the room is quiet, except for the sleeping Mrs. Tai, just the two of them.

Li Mei was a little unscrupulous, walked to a Taishi chair in a few steps, sat down in a posture, and then asked, "Mama He, but I heard about it." ”

Mama He took two steps forward, bent down, and whispered, "I heard." ”

"It turns out that in the years that Mrs. Liu has left, Mrs. Liu has not cared about anything. The girl who gave birth, although she was a young lady, also followed her wife. ”

"Oh?" Li Mei sighed in surprise: "All these years, is she actually the one in charge?" ”

This she, needless to say, Mama He also knows who she is talking about.

"It's not all, Mrs. Shi just let her take care of some chores, but now she is two years too old, so she let go, and the one who really started to take care of the housekeeper has only been more than two years, and three years is not enough."

"My sister-in-law, who was born in the Beijing Palace, doesn't she fight about this matter?" Mrs. Ether's love for Fang Rou will make her the house, she can imagine, but the Liu family will let others pinch and knead it without squeaking, which is a little incredible.

"The slave also thinks this is strange!" Mama He paused for a moment, and then said: "So my aunt asked Qiuxiang, a maid who had a good relationship with slaves and maids before,—— she is also in charge of things in the house now." ”

Li Mei didn't wait for Mama He to finish speaking, and asked eagerly, "What's strange?" What came out of the question? Qiu Xiang's words can be done accurately? ”

Mama He smiled and said unhurriedly: "Qiu Xiang, someone who is very greedy for money, and the slave maid asked for a piece of silver, there should be no mistake." ”

"What did she say?" Li Mei couldn't help but grab Mama He's sleeve and stared at her with a pair of eyes.

Qiu Xiang said that Mrs. Liu's health has not been good, and since she gave birth to the eldest lady, she has been sick for eight out of ten days, so she has to admit it dumbly. And that Aunt Fang is also a blessed one, she found out that she was pregnant when she entered the door, and gave birth to the second miss, only more than two months later than the eldest lady. Later, Grandpa Guo's aunt was room-by-room, and only Aunt Fang gave birth to a brother, who is now just four years old. Come to think of it, my wife will be able to see her in the evening. ”

After listening to Mama He's words, Li Mei sat alone in the chair and fell into deep thought.

Then, when it was time for the dinner, she didn't see her only nephew, Li Zhen, who was like a golden pimple, as Mama said.

Gu said yes, he caught a cold and was sick again!

didn't come, and there was also the Duchess of Anguo, Liu.

The Liu family has always been sick and weak, and the Tai Lady Fang didn't care, but just perfunctorily instructed the maid who was talking back and forth to take care of her carefully.

And Li Zhen seemed to have a lot of blue eyes, she specially asked the maids to find a fifty-year-old ginseng that she received on her birthday, and personally instructed the little maids around her to carefully send it to Li Zhen's grandmother.

Li Miaoxian sat coldly on a chair in the corner and didn't say a word.

Li Miaoyu also changed her normal behavior today and quieted down.

So, only Li Mei's mother and son were left in the house to make the old lady laugh.

For a while, An Guogong strode in from outside, greeted each other, and then moved to the west room for dinner.

This time, it was Furong and Xiuzhu who came with Li Miaoxian, because Xiuzhu was younger, so they arranged for Furong cloth vegetables, and Xiuzhu was left outside the door, with a group of little maids.

Li Miaoyu also brought two maids today, the eldest maid Siqin was waiting in the house, and the little maid serving tea was also left at the outer door.

Fengcha saw Xiuzhu, nodded slightly to the other party, and was pulled away by a little maid in Xianfutang.

Xiuzhu was also led into a side room by a little maid who was about the same age as her. It's not the first time she's been here, and she knows that the masters have to eat, and the time is usually longer. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and the room of the next person is still cold, but it is still stronger than outside.

The maid who pulled her was called Rosewood, and she was only ten years old, but it had been more than two years since she entered Mrs. Tai's yard.

The foundation of the Anguo Mansion is shallow, and there are no family children and slaves at all, but this red sandalwood can be regarded as one. Her grandfather was originally a servant who followed Lao An Guogong, and later married an outside daughter-in-law and gave birth to children and grandchildren, so she had red sandalwood.

It may be because of this that Mrs. Tai is very tolerant of red sandalwood, and she usually doesn't have much work, and often runs around to play. It was still autumn when she was picking osmanthus flowers, and Xiuzhu took the initiative to help her, and the two of them got better.

When they entered the house, the two of them sat in front of the window, but the window did not dare to close, but only left it wide open, in case there was anything in the main house that could be known at the first time.

Rosewood poured hot tea for Xiuzhu, and the white water vapor spread out in the air, and it had begun to take on the appearance of winter.

Xiuzhu put his hand around the teacup, only to feel the pain in his fingers that were almost frozen, and then the coagulated blood in the blood vessels seemed to flow again, itching, making the whole body tremble.

Zi Sandalwood urged her with a smile, "Drink it quickly, it's good tea!" Or last time, Mrs. Tai praised me for doing a good job, and I appreciated it! ”

Xiuzhu lowered his head, buried his face in a cloud of white gas, and then took a sip gently, the tea was bitter and bitter, and it was far away from the tea!
