The breeze is in the house, and the small kitchen is in full swing in the morning.

The little girl Bin'er next to Mrs. Chun and the big girl Danhong next to Mrs. Chunjiang's daughter-in-law, each holding a pen and paper, are concentrating on recording every point that Xiao Taohong said, of course, when they encounter words that can't be written, they use pictures to express them.

Bin'er is young, and she can't squeeze Danhong who is taller than her in terms of figure, and she can't compare to the well-informed Danhong in terms of cleverness, not to mention Danhong's high perception and intelligence, and she can always draw inferences from Xiao Taohong's words, and she quickly mastered the essentials.

So Dan Hong recorded the main points in high spirits, and from time to time he could make a few pertinent suggestions.

Bin'er obviously couldn't understand, and after asking the same question again, Danhong finally couldn't help but say: "Bin'er, Sister Xiao Taohong is very busy, let's write down the main points first, and when we go back and try it, we find that something is wrong, how about interrogating again?" Otherwise, you'll be delaying all of us. ”

Bin'er snorted coldly and said, "You blame me? Originally, the cousin promised to only teach us Mrs. Chun, but who knew that you had to come over, isn't Sister Peach too busy? ”

"Did Miss Cousin really just promise to teach you? Our eldest wife is the housewife of the Zhang family, and if you want to learn, we will come first! Danhong was not to be outdone.

"Hmph, then our Mrs. Chun is pregnant with the young master! In the future, won't this Zhang family revolve around the little master? I learned this for the sake of the little master, so that I wouldn't even have the money to buy or eat a delicious food! Can you bring us snacks every day? You can't call the shots, can you endure it?! "Bin'er is-for-tat.

Xiao Taohong is not a serious Zhangfu maid, who will give face, and said strongly: "Don't quarrel, if you want to learn, learn honestly, don't make trouble, if you don't want to learn, go out now, our young lady doesn't like to be noisy." ”

Danhong hurriedly shut up, after all, the eldest wife Chunjiang's daughter-in-law had already touched the nail a few times in Yiqing, and she herself knew the temper of the two sisters.

Bin'er was even more proud, and said: "The relationship between our Mrs. Chun and my cousin is very good, Sister Danhong, if you want to have a longer memory!" ”

Because of being in Qingfeng Residence, Danhong dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.

……

Changle Curie.

Mrs. Chun held her small belly, gently stroked her belly with one hand, and poured tea for Ruomei with boiled water in the other.

Cousin Chunjiang has been running around to see the dignitaries recently, and he is pregnant and can't wait, so he has been sleeping at the eldest wife's, and Mrs. Chun is quite bored, so she almost recognized Ruomei to come over and chat.

Originally, the eldest lady and Mrs. Chun got along with each other, until Mrs. Chun's maiden sister Chun Xing escaped from marriage and came to join her sister, but was stopped by Chunjiang's daughter-in-law, and she was ridiculed: "Being a sister is restless, and being a sister is not a good thing", "Our Mrs. Chun of Zhangfu is terrible, this sister also came to the pole to be an aunt", "The family is the life of the aunt" Yunyun, Chun Xing is ashamed.

However, Chunjiang's daughter-in-law was still not satisfied, and not only escorted the person back to her parents' home, but also took the initiative to arrange guards to prevent her from escaping again. Chun Xing was desperate and hanged herself with a rope that night, but fortunately she was rescued in the end.

As Chunxing's sister, Mrs. Chunnichun was distressed, so she promised to give her stepmother a good sum of silver, and asked for Chunxing's custody back.

But Mrs. Chun has no money, and even her own monthly silver is often withheld, and even a few shops that don't make money are slowly taken back by the eldest lady in a different way, so Mrs. Chun is ruthless.

"Ruomei girl, don't be restrained, you can sit down quickly." Mrs. Chun smiled and sat down with her eyebrows pressed.

Ruomei is now in the side yard where the housekeeper lives, serving the food and clothing of the father and son, and the situation is quite embarrassing, although he has obtained his own deed of sale, but in fact he is still a slave - it costs a lot of silver to go to the government to buy a good book, and the housekeeper is powerless.

Ruomei stood up in fear and said, "Mrs. Chun, don't you dare to be it, how can I let you do this?" Or a slave to serve you! With that, Ruomei snatched the teapot from Mrs. Chun's hand, and skillfully poured the tea, and then gently slapped Mrs. Chun's shoulder.

Mrs. Chun felt sorry for this fatherless, motherless, and precocious girl, and said, "Good boy, you don't need to be busy here, you can sit down." "I just pulled Ruo Mei and didn't let me wait.

Mrs. Chun continued, "I know your background, why shouldn't I?!" Your family is flying in trouble, the family is ruined, my family is the queen mother's family, the family is not a family, and the most pitiful thing is our daughter's family. I ask you, what do you plan to do in the future? ”

Ruomei remembered her parents who loved her when she was young, her eyes couldn't help but redden, she lowered her head, twisted her handkerchief, and replied angrily: "Mrs. Huichun's words, the eldest lady has already given me to the housekeeper's family, saying that she will buy a good title later, and she plans to let Brother Zetian marry me......"

Mrs. Chun doesn't believe the nonsense of Chunjiang's daughter-in-law, if she buys a good book for Ruomei, she bought it as early as when she sent Ruomei, why choose another time? "Subsequently" is just a nice excuse. Ruomei also felt the same way, she knew that Zhang Zetian was the top of the housekeeper's heart, he was very talented since he was a child, and he was a person who wanted to gain fame in the future, and the housekeeper would not let him marry a woman who had been a slave.

"Ruomei girl, don't worry, I don't represent the lord today, let alone the eldest lady, I only ask you as a sister, what kind of life do you want to live in the future? Are you still willing to serve the two old men without embarrassment? Mrs. Chun said with pity: "I am a concubine for others, but I am willing to do it myself; But I don't want my sister to live like this again. ”

Ruomei raised her head, looked at Mrs. Chun suspiciously, her face was full of disbelief, and said, "Mrs. Chun, the master is still very good to you......"

Mrs. Chun smiled and said, "I know that the master is good to me, so I just said that I was willing to be a concubine for him, and at that time, my mother's family forced me to marry an old man, and from the situation at that time, marrying the master was the best choice at that time." ”

Ruo Mei had heard someone talk about this before, and said, "Mrs. Chun, then your father also agreed to marry you to that old man at that time?" ”

"Hmph, so my mother is dead, and my father is no longer my father......" Mrs. Chun continued, "Why me? My sister Chunxing is not as old as you, and she will be sold by that ruthless couple to a tuberculosis ghost as a concubine! ”

"The pretty girl who came that day is your own sister?" Ruomei was shocked: "Then she is also the cousin of the eldest wife!" She just watched such a good-looking little girl marry a short-lived ghost?! ”

"Hmph, it's not just Chunxing?! Even if it was me, it was because Miss Yilan in the family was beautiful, and the eldest lady asked me, who was mediocre, to marry in quickly, so as to eliminate the master's thoughts about Miss Yilan...... Don't you know that this concubine is almost impossible, and the eldest lady now thinks that the old man cares too much about me......"

Mrs. Chun stroked Wei Long's lower abdomen and said lovingly: "I only have two wishes in this life, one is that the child is happy and healthy, and the other is that my sister marries a good family and becomes the wife ......of the main house."

Ruomei stayed in Mrs. Chun's residence for a while, and said a lot of heart-wrenching words to Mrs. Chun, and finally couldn't help but say: "Mrs. Chun, you are so good, I want to come over to serve you, and the housekeeper is also very good, but his yard is still inconvenient...... Please, talk to the butler, and change me to serve you? ”

Mrs. Chun hurriedly grabbed Ruomei's hand and gently soothed: "Silly girl, now that you have obtained your own deed of sale, why do you want to be a slave?!" If you have any requirements in the future that are inconvenient to tell the housekeeper, you can come to me. ”

Ruomei retreated in gratitude.

Mrs. Chun smiled slightly, her mouth and feet slightly raised.

The housekeeper and Ruomei returned to the side courtyard at the same time, and the housekeeper was stunned, these days he followed several sons and nephews of the Zhang family to deal with chores, and he was busy with his feet, and he didn't say a few words to Ruomei seriously.

"Where did you go?" The butler said nonchalantly.

Ruo Mei said: "Well, if you go back to the housekeeper, Mrs. Chun is pregnant, and the slave maid helps her sort out the things she doesn't need, and she only has a little girl there, Bin'er, who can't do such meticulous work." ”

The housekeeper said: "She was originally a miserable person, but now that she is pregnant, she will be blessed in the future!" ”

Ruomei used to be a calm and modest person, but today she chatted with the housekeeper about homely things.

The housekeeper said: "Our lord is a top and good person, but his ears are too soft, and the eldest lady is not like a wife, has she asked you to talk about household registration recently?" ”

Ruomei shook her head.

The housekeeper said again: "She just can't bear the silver, hey, otherwise why can this Mrs. Chun hate her like that?" Her own sister almost died! ”

Ruomei said: "Mrs. Chun said this today, I don't think she seems to be having a good time, that Bin'er doesn't even have a ...... of clothes that fit."

"What did Mrs. Chun say to you today?" The butler finally reacted and asked rhetorically.

Ruomei replied honestly: "Mrs. Chun said that she only has two wishes in this life, one is to have a happy and healthy child, and the other is to marry her sister Chunxing to a good family......"

"Mrs. Chun's sister is also the cousin of the eldest lady...... Ruomei, since Mrs. Chun's words are so obvious, I might as well say it bluntly, it is impossible for Zetian to marry you as a wife, and the eldest lady sent you here purely because you are too eye-catching. The housekeeper told the truth and said, "Zetian will be an official in the future, and I want to ask him for a clean woman." You are also a good girl, and Zetian and I don't want you to be a concubine and suffer for the rest of your life......"

"The housekeeper ......"

The housekeeper interrupted Ruomei's words and said, "The master is a very good man, I will beg him to buy you a good book, and you won't have to send someone to the fence in the future." Your unclear identity is nested here with our grandfather, and the general rules are not good. ”
