Mama Li held back her grievances, hurried to the direction of the main courtyard, and arrived near the lakeside water pavilion, and was about to rest before leaving, when she suddenly heard someone calling her behind her. stopped and looked, but Tian'er caught up.

"Why are you here?" She asked.

Tian'er took a few breaths before saying, "I don't know where Mama is going?" ”

Mama Li snorted in a deep voice: "Naturally, I went to the old lady to complain!" Don't stop me, you can't stop me! ”

Tian'er hurriedly laughed: "Mama has suffered such a big grievance, so naturally she wants to get justice." But the old lady doesn't care about the housework now, and Mama is afraid that the eldest lady will deal with it in the end, so according to me, Mama might as well go directly to the eldest lady to be useful. ”

Mama Li paused for a moment and clapped her thighs: "That's exactly what I said!" Fortunately, you reminded me that you girl is really caring! He happily went to the long house.

Nie was drinking tea with Yu in the long room, and Yan Hua and Yu Hua were playing chess on the side.

Nie suddenly became interested, looked at Yu and said, "Mama Li went to the garden by herself, has there been any movement this time?" ”

Yu Shi looked at the teacup with light eyebrows, and said, "That girl is so clever that she seems to be unable to do anything about her for the time being." However, Cui Ying's hooves are a thorn, and there is some friction from time to time. ”

Nie Shi was surprised: "How can this be? This Mama Li was specially invited back by the old lady from the Guogong Mansion, where did this Cui Ying have the courage to go against her? ”

Yu snorted: "Whether you have the courage or not, it depends on who is behind her." Besides, this Mama Li didn't come back specifically for this, the old lady had other things to do with her, and knowing this reason, she had nothing to scruple about. ”

Nie Shi heard the taste: "Sister-in-law is saying that in addition to the old lady and the old lady behind Cui Ying, there are other people?" …… Isn't that 'the man'?! She frowned pointedly.

Yu listened but did not answer.

Nie Shi was also silent, the teacup lid in his hand couldn't stop blowing the tea, and he said for a long time: "It's cheaper than that dead girl, Mama Li and Cui Ying are fighting, so naturally they can't take care of her." ”

Yu frowned, "What's the hurry, she is far from becoming a climate, and it is not too late to treat her when these things are settled now." ”

Seeing that she was displeased, Nie Shi hurriedly stopped saying more.

Yu also stopped talking.

Every time she mentioned the girl in the garden, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Mama Li has been gone for so long and there is no good news, and Yu's heart is not depressed. This girl was able to say such sonorous words to the old lady in such a chaotic situation, and now she can safely deal with the old and arrogant Mama Li, I really don't know how she did it with her age and experience. Even if she had memorized those words beforehand, it was a rare thing to be able to speak so firmly in front of a room of people who opposed her. To put it mildly, even if you are as smart and beautiful as Yuhua, when it comes to a crisis, you may not be able to have such courage.

She really didn't want to grow up with others, from the day she first saw her, she felt that this girl was different from Min Hua and Su Hua, she was a stinger, not only piercing her eyes, but also piercing her heart.

Sometimes she forced herself not to care because of her status as the daughter of the right mansion, but a living person stood in front of her, and she was bleeding the blood of her husband and another woman, and her face inherited all the beauty of that woman, so this thorn made her uncomfortable. Once she thought that if she married He Lingyi, this man would completely belong to her, after all, she was "married" to him as the prime minister's daughter, and other women could not give him a bright future. If the existence of Su Meiyin is the result that she has to bear, then the appearance of this child has lifted all the jealousy and resentment she suppressed in Su Meiyin, Su Meiyin has already taken half of him first, but this woman surnamed Xu still has to give birth to a child to snatch the rest of him from her!

…… Yu couldn't help but prop up his forehead and sighed faintly.

Every time I think about this, I can't help but be tired, and I really can't think about it anymore. If she thought about it any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist killing her now, she couldn't be so stupid. She wants to keep her and torture her slowly, just like the torment He Lingyuan has given her day after day over the years. What's more, she has more people to deal with right now......

She closed her eyes and calmed down for a while, then called for the red sleeves: "Bring the sandalwood bracelet that the abbot of Jinquan Temple gave me last month." ”

Nie couldn't guess that she had just had such a big fluctuation in her heart, and when she saw her voice, she also said: "On the first day of the next month, go to Jinquan Temple, sister-in-law or not?" His chin was raised to the opposite side of Aunt Su's courtyard, and he said, "I think that one has gone to Yueyue, and he has never fallen once." ”

Yu said calmly: "Meiyin originally swore an oath for the second girl in front of the Bodhisattva, and promised Yueyue to go, so naturally she can't fall behind." ”

Nie Shi pursed his lips and said, "It's really amazing to be a concubine and do her job." Ordinary large families, how can there be an aunt who goes to the temple to pray for the whole family? ”

Yu put down the teacup and said, "You just have a great mouth." No one won't let you go, I'm like a sister to her, but I've never treated her as a concubine, so don't mention it anymore. But now that the transfer order of the ministry is about to be issued, if you really want to be in the position of Langzhong, you have to hurry up. ”

Nie Shi hurriedly said: "At the beginning of the month, I sent a thousand taels of silver to Zeng Mingfang, the secretary of the ministry, and three thousand taels have been raised in the past few days, and there is a pair of ruler-high mutton fat jade Buddhas, who are preparing to go to the right mansion." At that time, I will ask my sister-in-law to be a guide. ”

Yu pondered for a moment: "One thousand taels for Zeng Mingfang?" You are generous. ”

Nie sighed: "What can be done? The wool is out of the sheep, and when the day comes, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn back the money? Alas, in fact, our lord has no money. Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, this time I even took out my dowry silver. Now I hope that the grain requisition will go smoothly, so that I can earn some back. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but lower his voice and approached Yu's again: "I also put two dry shares into my sister-in-law, and you will wait for the silver to come to the door!" ”

Yu Shi hummed lightly and said, "Who is the grain collector decided?" ”

"It's still undecided." Nie said: "Isn't this the same for everyone?" Who is not allowed to give face to the two governments? ”

Yu glanced at her: "It's easy to think!" If the people of Zuo Cheng Luo Shixin receive this errand, will you not call the heavens and not the earth to be spiritual? ”

Nie Shi was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.

At this time, Yuhua threw the chess pieces on the side, sneered, and said: "It's not easy, isn't it okay to let our family do this grain requisition?" ”

The two Yu looked over, both puzzled. Yuhua said: "Luo Shixin is the main battle, my grandfather and my grandfather are in peace, this time the border pass is a big victory, Luo Shixin has won the favor of the saint more and more, and it must be a little unpleasant to our family, if we don't show some sincerity to show loyalty to the saint, what will happen next!" If this errand is next, firstly, it can reassure the saint, and secondly, it will be convenient to earn food money, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

Nie Shi was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then slapped his face and praised: "The third girl is really a wonderful person who is extremely smart!" It's a shame that you have come up with such a way to get the best of both worlds - I said sister-in-law, it's a pity that you are a girl in this life, if you are a man, you can simply follow our old lady into the dynasty as a pillar! ”

Yu glanced at her: "How can you be so spirited as you say?" But he also looked at Yuhua and smiled, "Yu'er, this girl is really angry." The pride and pride in his tone were self-evident, but his gaze when he looked at Yuhua was particularly meaningful.

The Nie family flattered in every way, and Yan Hua watched from the side, his face was full of taste, but Yuhua was smiling proudly, and he had to cheer up and say, "Who is the third sister?" It's unique in our house. is put in the whole of Beijing, and it is also a famous Shuyuan. ”

Yu listened with a smile, twisting sandalwood skewers, and suddenly remembered: "Speaking of grain requisition, I heard that the eighth girl's illness has not yet recovered?" ”

Nie Shi took a piece of sesame crisp and was about to bite it, when he heard it, he sneered: "How can it be so easy!" As soon as he saw Yu Shi looking over, he put the halva again and said, "What did my sister-in-law mention her do?" That girl almost ruined our big thing, even if she didn't see good, she got retribution! ”

Yu Shi hung his head slightly, teasing his eyebrows and blowing the tea in his palm: "In the end, it is the third lady's girl, although she is stubborn, she should also give the third lady a little face." Don't talk about anything else, let's go and see together. ”

Yu put the tea down, stood up, and Cai Qin suddenly came in: "Madam, Madam Li from the Nine Girls' House is here." ”

Nie Shi looked at Yu Shi in surprise: "Why is she here?" ”

Cai Qin told the reason, Yu pondered for a while, and said to Nie: "You can do this, I'll go change my clothes." ”

Nie's family had never done anything, and when she heard that Yu had actually handed over this case to her, she suddenly came to her senses, and when Yu entered the room, she motioned to Cai Qin to bring Mama Li in.

Nie sat back when he heard a cry from far and near: "Madame has to be the master of the old slave!" Then a woman with a cloak rushed in as if in the wind, and fell to her knees with a thud, her clothes as dirty and wrinkled as rags, her face covered with ash and blood, and she opened her mouth and howled, and lost one of her front teeth.

Nie Shi was taken aback: "Mama Li? What's wrong with you! ”

"Madame wants to be the master of the old slave!" Mama Li wiped away her tears, looked up and saw that it was Nie, and her voice stopped abruptly. Nie Shi pulled down his face: "What, I can't say it?" Cai Qin also said: "If Mama has any grievances, just say it, the eldest lady will not be empty this time, and it is the same to let the fourth lady be the master." ”

Although Mama Li was disappointed, she didn't dare to take it big in front of Nie, so she pointed in the direction of the garden and said angrily: "Cuiying's hooves have bullied me many times, and she is beating me like this today!" Ask the fourth lady to be the master of the old slave! ”

Nie didn't speak at the moment, and after a long time, he turned his head and whispered something to Cai Qin, and then asked someone to move a chair for Mama Li, and then said, "How does Mama want me to be your master?" ”
