The old lady was eating the snacks sent by Mengxi, and when she saw that there was a color of pastries on the table that she had never seen before, she pointed and asked:

"This is Xi'er's new trick, I haven't seen it before, what's the name?"

"This color of dim sum is called lotus seeds to get Ling wheat winter cake, is to peel the lotus seeds, core, and then slice the bood and wheat together into a fine powder, add white sugar and mix well, make a cake, and then steam it on the basket to become, the old lady compensates, if this color snack is added to the osmanthus, the fragrance of the osmanthus is more delicious, but it just so happens that there is no osmanthus in the house today, and the granddaughter-in-law will make you add osmanthus another day, so that you can compensate"

Mengxi said as she picked up a small piece and handed it to the old lady.

When the old lady heard this, she said in her heart, I made osmanthus cake in my house yesterday, why is it gone today? Osmanthus is not a rare thing, such a big Xiao Mansion, why is it missing, I couldn't help but glance at the eldest lady, the eldest lady heard this, her heart was shocked, and she saw the old lady looking at her, just quietly eating the snack in her hand.

The old lady saw that the eldest lady didn't speak, so she didn't say anything, took the lotus seeds handed by Mengxi and got a bite of Lingmai winter cake, and nodded again and again:

"It's delicious, it's delicious, Xi'er said this, the old body really thinks that there is the aroma of osmanthus here, and it will be more delicious to eat, and Xi'er will make it to the old body another day."

After the old lady finished eating, he gave the rest to a few maids, asked them to withdraw and eat, and chatted with Mengxi and the eldest lady for a while, and then ordered them to disperse.

After the two left, the old lady ordered someone to pass the chess, and when she saw the chess coming in, she asked:

"What's going on, I've inquired and understood"

"The slave maid just listened to the words of the second grandmother, and saw the eyes of the old lady, so she went out to inquire, and listened to the girls in the second grandmother's house, the second grandmother has entered the house so far, those tea, rouge and other examples, the house has never sent over, it was okay before, there are two masters to eat together, and they dare not deduct it, since the second master is not in the upper room to eat, the second grandmother's daily consumption in the kitchen is not a lack of that, the second grandmother's daily use is to send Zhiqiu, Zhichun two people out of the house to purchase, the second door on the small house said, only this more than a month, the two have been out of the house several times, At first, I thought it was strange, but no one dared to stop the second grandmother who sent it out, and then I inquired and learned that the second grandmother's use was purchased by these two maids from outside the house."

"No wonder, a few days ago, someone came here, saying that the maids in the second grandmother's courtyard are out of the house frequently, and some are out of range, and I am thinking about sending someone to check it in the past two days, it turns out that this is the case, the eldest lady is a little too unlikely, and our big Xiao Mansion is still short of this person's use! If this is going to be spread, won't it make people laugh and spread it, and go and spread the word to the eldest wife."

"The old lady can't, we just heard this, there is no evidence, the second grandmother herself didn't say anything missing, the old lady has always cared about these trivial matters, we asked the eldest lady, the eldest lady shirked and said that she didn't know, insisted that it was the next person who did it privately, the old lady would be left complaining, it was better for the old lady to find an opportunity to mention the eldest lady, let her not do too much"

The waiter heard that the old lady was going to ask the eldest lady, and hurriedly stepped forward and said that she knew that the second grandmother would have to be dismissed sooner or later, and felt that since this was the case, the old lady would not offend the eldest lady for her, after all, she was the biological mother of the second master, and the second master didn't like the second grandmother anyway, so she said so.

The old lady thought about it, and felt that it was reasonable, and sighed:

"In this way, it's just bitter Xi'er, it is said that our Xiao family can't live with Xi'er, so it is good that she can enjoy Qingfu in Xiao Mansion for the past two years, even this can't be done, the old body is really sorry for the dead old lady, so let's take out some of it every month from my share and reward it, just say that I eat the dim sum made by Xi'er, I am happy, reward"

"Yes, the slave maid is going to arrange it, it is really worthy of the old lady, you just don't care about those trivial matters now, take care of it, what is in your hands, just a light flick will be solved, you reward the second grandmother, the slave and the maid see which slave dares to underestimate the second grandmother, so that it not only implies that the eldest lady you know that she treats the second grandmother harshly, but also does not offend the eldest wife, and also suppresses those slaves who want to bully the master, the slave and the maid think that the eldest lady will always be more restrained in the future"

After the servant said goodbye to the old lady, he turned around and walked out, the old lady listened to the words of the servant, and also smiled, and scolded behind him:

"This girl is the skin of the mouth".

The eldest lady returned to the room, sat down on the chair, and as soon as she raised her hand, she smashed the teacup on the table, and cursed in her mouth:

"This slut, I really underestimated her, I dared to stab the old lady, Ziyue, to pass the word to the housekeeper Xiao An, if the old lady asked about it, he said that he didn't know, it was the people below who said nonsense, in the future, the second grandmother's kitchen in the future, don't restrain it, what she wants, as long as it does not exceed the regulations, try to give it, who knows what she wants to do for the old lady, don't miss anything to the old lady, in addition to looking like a fox*, what is good, the old lady will treat her as a baby, everything depends on her!"

Ziyue answered, turned around and walked out, and Baozhu stepped forward to persuade:

"Don't be angry, big lady, the slave looks at the old lady today, and she doesn't mean to check this matter, besides, the old lady doesn't care about these trivial matters, she wants to check, we will say that we don't know, maybe the old lady will complain that the second grandmother is too capable of making trouble, seeing that the tangram festival is coming, and after the tangram is the old lady's birthday, the eldest lady thinks about taking the cousin over quickly."

When the eldest lady heard this, her eyes lit up, and she glanced at the jewel with appreciation, and said:

"It's time to take Xiu'er over"

………

As soon as Mengxi helped Zhiqiu into the house, Zhiqiu couldn't wait to ask the second grandmother:

"Second grandma, will this work?"

"It doesn't necessarily work, but at least the eldest lady won't treat us badly in the future, as long as we don't lose what we eat, we can be at ease in Xiaofu for the time being."

"Second grandma, what is a rice worm?"

"It's a worm that eats rice"

Mengxi then remembered that she accidentally slipped out of modern language again, but He Zhiqiu was also used to it, so he said it directly.

"Second grandma, why do we want to be rice-eating bugs"

Zhiqiu thought about it, shook his head, didn't understand, and asked shamelessly.

Mengxi gave her a blank look: Dizzy!

On this day, Mengxi was dispensing medicine in the backyard, and Zhichun hurriedly came in to spread the word, saying that the eldest lady had sent the second grandmother to Yangxin Garden, and Mengxi was also shocked, and she didn't know what the eldest lady wanted to do.

Hurriedly stopped the work in hand, simply tidied up, went out of the pharmacy, ordered someone to lock the door, took the key, and returned to the east chamber with Zhichun, Zhiqiu simply pulled up a startling bun for the second grandmother, and inserted a light blue crystal tassel obliquely, Zhichun had already prepared a blue narcissus Yunmian Ji dress, waited to change it, circled around the second grandmother, and said with admiration:

"The second grandmother just dressed up like this, and she was shocked, and she could hook her soul with just one glance......"

When Zhichun said this, he unconsciously swallowed the words behind, such a beautiful woman, but she was unladylike, and the whole flower was inserted on the cow dung. Zhiqiu glanced at Zhichun, and his heart sank, last time the second grandmother was called by the eldest lady, and knelt for a long time, everyone knew in their hearts that this eldest lady would be fine if she was called, but the mother-in-law who was in the eighth scene didn't dare not go. sighed and helped the second grandmother out of the east wing.

The sedan chair has already been prepared outside, Mengxi got on the sedan chair, walked all the way to the Yangxin Garden, came to the Yangxin Garden, let people pass the word, and after a while, a little girl came out and said that the eldest lady was in the east ear room, let go directly, and took the second grandmother to the east ear room while talking.

As soon as Mengxi entered the house, he raised his eyes and saw that the second master was already here, the eldest lady sat on the kang, leaning on the blue satin pillow, and there was a kang table next to it.

I saw three chairs on the ground, covered with blue satin chairs, Xiao Jun was sitting on a chair on the right, chatting with the girl with a smile, and when he saw her come in, he stopped talking.
