The third cousin glanced at the angry and annoyed Fu Fifth Master, and immediately chased him out.

"Ninth sister, I'll send you!" She stepped forward and took Fu Tingyun's arm, but saw a crystal light in the corner of Fu Tingyun's eyes.

"Quan Hui......" she muttered to Fu Tingyun and let out a long sigh.

"I'm fine." Fu Tingyun smiled and patted the third cousin's hand, and said, "You know now why I don't want to see Master Fu, right?" ”

The third cousin was silent.

The two silently walked out of the weeping flower door.

Zheng San drove the carriage over.

The third cousin helped Fu Tingyun into the carriage.

The rain slightly lowered the curtains.

The third cousin raised her hand and grabbed the curtain of the car.

"Ninth sister," she stared at Fu Tingyun, her expression very solemn, "Don't be too sad." Yesterday, such as the past. You look ahead. You lost your fifth uncle, and you lost our sisters. ”

If the former third cousin only extended a helping hand to Fu Tingyun out of sisterly affection and sympathy for Fu Tingyun's plight, but without direct conflict with the Fu family, then at this moment, the third cousin made a choice between Fu Tingyun and Fu Fifth Master because of her deep anger at what Fu Fifth Master had done.

Fu Tingyun glanced deeply at the third cousin and nodded lightly at the third cousin.

The corners of the third cousin's mouth curled slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

"Let's go!" Fu Tingyun smiled and ordered Zheng San.

Zheng San raised his whip, and the carriage drove out of the alley "deservedly".

The third cousin watched Fu Tingyun's carriage until it disappeared, and then returned to the hall.

Fifth Master Fu was irritable and wandering around the hall with his hands behind his back, and when he saw the third cousin coming in, he said with a calm face: "You also saw it, what kind of attitude does she have towards me......

It's just that the third cousin didn't stand there listening to his lesson or give him a smile on his face, but as soon as he spoke. The third cousin smiled and said: "The ninth sister has suffered so many grievances, and it is normal for her to have a big temper. The fifth uncle is a knowledgeable man. I guess I can understand. Then the conversation changed. said, "Fifth uncle, just now a little servant came to me to tell me that the Xianggong was left by Hao Shilang to transcribe the chapter that was distributed to the world. I'm going to stay in the room today and don't come back. I don't know what happened to the fifth uncle looking for the prime minister? If it's inconvenient to tell me, you might as well leave a note. When the prime minister comes back, I will hand it over to the prime minister. ”

On the way back to Sixi Hutong, Master Fu Wu saw Fu Tingyun's carriage. He originally came to Fu Tingyun, where is there something to find the third brother-in-law. Now the meaning of the third cousin sending off the guest is obvious. And he didn't even say a word of politeness like letting him stay for dinner. He couldn't help but be angry and walked away.

The third cousin's close mother couldn't help but worry: "Isn't this okay?" The fifth old lady is an elder after all. If the second old lady knows, I'm afraid there will be some trouble. ”

"What do you know?" The third cousin couldn't help but reprimand in a low voice, "The fifth uncle only wants to be promoted and make a fortune like this, and he ignores the others, and he is most likely to have an accident." Or even go astray...... Don't talk nonsense about this. ”

The close-fitting mother only agreed.

The third cousin instructed her to polish the ink: "I have to write a letter to my father...... Fifth Uncle here, if no one can persuade him. You have to ask your father to pay more attention and think about countermeasures. so as not to ruin the century-old reputation of the Fu family. ”

The stakes are very high, and the close mother did not dare to slack off, so she hurriedly went to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in.

The third cousin wrote at the desk.

The third brother-in-law is back.

The third cousin put down the pen and went out of the study to serve the third brother-in-law to change clothes.

The third brother-in-law saw that there was a faint ink stain between the third cousin's fingers, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you want to go to see the house with the ninth sister?" How? I don't see the house, you practice calligraphy at home? ”

The third cousin followed her husband's gaze and saw the ink between her fingers.

After all, the matter of Master Fu Wu is not a glorious thing, and the third cousin has no intention of telling her husband.

She began to paint red at the age of three, and after the age of eight, she never got ink again.

Is this providential?

According to their previous speculation, although the position of the ministry is small, it has a bright future. The husband and the fifth uncle are officials in the same dynasty, and the fifth uncle is an elder, and the elder is irreversible, but the virtue of the fifth uncle is ...... But the husband didn't know it, and seeing that the fifth uncle was an elder, he blindly obeyed, and if he dragged down his husband, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, the third cousin told the third brother-in-law about the fifth master Fu's visit: "...... I had to say that you didn't come back today, and sent the fifth uncle away. ”

The third brother-in-law listened, and his face gradually became solemn. When the third cousin spoke, he muttered: "I don't think the ninth sister is a difficult person to get along with, but she is on the same page as her biological father. Your concerns are valid. Fifth uncle, let's not get too close. ”

The third cousin saw that her husband thought the same way, and felt more and more that she had done the right thing, so she reminded her husband: "Seventh brother-in-law, do you want to say something about it?" ”

"Say it!" The third brother-in-law thought for a while and said, "There is also the fifth brother-in-law, and I also need to inform you." Even other people, if you can listen to it, you can listen to it, and if you can't listen to it, don't force it. ”

"Hmm!" The third cousin answered and called the maid to set the meal.

※※※※※

Aunt Wu from Jiadao Street had dinner at this time, and was sitting on the big kang near the window with a tea cup in a daze.

Zelan, who had put away the dishes and chopsticks, came in and couldn't help but glance at Aunt Wu.

Since Aunt Wu went back to the Wu family that day to celebrate the birthday of the third young grandmother of the Wu family, she has been sitting on the kang in a daze all day long. I don't know what happened to her going to Wu's house?

Zelan thought, the door was slammed open with a "snap", and Lianxin recklessly broke in: "Auntie, auntie, it's not good!" ”

No wonder it's been three years since I entered the mansion, and I can only mix with those unequal maids.

Zelan looked at Lian's gray face, and didn't secretly say a word in his heart.

Aunt Wu was taken aback and said, "What happened again?" When she looked up, she saw Zelan standing on the kang with a calm face, her tone softened, and she said to Lianxin: "If there is something to say slowly, what is the panic." And he said, "At this point, you have to learn from the Zeeland girl." ”

The hint of her words was already so obvious that if it were normal, Lianxin would have closed her mouth and smiled at Zelan. But today, not only did she not stop the topic. And he took a few steps forward and rushed to the front of Aunt Wu, and said hurriedly: "Nanjing's hometown is here...... It's Mother Fei, who is next to the eldest lady...... Fei's mother came with the two cousins...... Listen to my mother's tone. Be. Yes, it wants to be placed in the uncle's house, just wait for the grandmother to look at each other, and then lift the aunt......"

Aunt Wu gasped.

The eldest grandmother gave birth to a daughter. She had been sent to the cold palace. It's not that she didn't think that the Yu family would take another concubine for Yu Jingxiu. Just seeing that Mrs. Yu and Yu Jingxiu were all focused on the sick and weak Sister Zhen'er, she thought that this matter would have to wait for two or three years. I didn't expect it to be so fast, and it was sent by the eldest lady of Nanjing's hometown.

Zelan, who had a calm face, jumped up when he listened: "How is it possible? Did you hear it wrong? Even if the uncle wants to take a concubine. Then the grandmother or the lady is in charge. Why would the eldest lady send someone here? Her face was full of suspicion, but it made Lian Xin unhappy: "What am I lying to you for?" If you don't believe it, go to the main courtyard and take care of it. Two cousins, one surnamed Fei, is from the eldest lady's mother's family, and the other is surnamed Liu. It's the ...... of the third lady's mother's house."

None of them are simple.

Aunt Wu listened, not knowing why. There is a kind of leisurely embroidery upstairs to see the scenery.

She said to Zelan: "The uncle's knees are empty, the eldest lady and the third lady are anxious, and they have selected someone to come over to serve the uncle, which is also the concern of the elders, nothing to be surprised about." ”

"You don't know." These days, Aunt Wu is polite to Zelan, Zelan and Aunt Wu are gradually a little less restrained, and there are not so many taboos when talking, she is a little puzzled and said, "Several ladies look at harmony, in fact, they have their own thoughts. Especially the third lady, the third master has been in his hometown in recent years, the uncle often goes out with the third master to socialize, the third lady treats the uncle like her own, everything goes along with the uncle, everything promises the uncle, the uncle treats the third lady, and is also very close, I like to tell the third lady about everything, I dare not ask Mrs. Yu for the lack of silver, so I ask the third lady, the third lady took her own silver and pasted it for the uncle, once, the uncle wanted to buy a tripod, the third lady gave the uncle five thousand taels of silver in one go, for this matter, The lady and the third lady were also angry. Later, he took very close care of the uncle, and the people who served in the uncle's house were all the people of the lady, and the eldest lady and the third lady couldn't even put in the sweeping ones.

"Uncle is empty under his knees, whoever can give birth to the eldest son is the hero of the Yu family. Everyone understands this. How could the lady put the eldest lady and the third lady's people in the uncle's house...... When the time comes, will the grandson be the eldest lady, the third lady or the first lady? ”

These are all secret matters of the Yu family, and only people like Zelan, who have been servants of the Yu family for generations and serve in Mrs. Yu's house, may know about them.

Aunt Wu couldn't help but say: "You mean, the eldest lady and the third lady both want to please the uncle, so they are very pampered and pampered?" ”

Zeeland regretted it as soon as she spoke, and she answered a few times, and went to the main courtyard under the pretext that she wanted to see what was going on.

Lianxin said: "Auntie, do you think I should inquire again to see if the two cousins are really arranged in the uncle's house?" ”

"No need." Aunt Wu smiled, "What is there to inquire about?" If someone finds out, they think we're jealous! He added, "The more people, the more lively it is." The Yu family is a family that talks about rules, and my reputation is always unsuccessful. What do you have to worry about. ”

Lianxin smiled wryly.

Aunt Wu instructed her: "Let's make the bed and sleep!" Two cousins, that's what grandma is worried about. ”

Lianxin smiled and responded "yes" and went to tell the rough mother-in-law to fetch water.

Aunt Wu muttered in a low voice, "It's really strange": "Since Mrs. Yu is afraid that the eldest lady and the third lady will bring the uncle badly, and she has been guarding it strictly, why did she suddenly agree to let the two cousins go to the uncle's house to serve?" She thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, so she simply didn't want to, and continued to talk to herself, "I don't know if Mrs. Wu has heard anything?" can make Mrs. Zhao angry, what is the matter? ”
