Chapter 173

Aunt Zhang sat on the bed, stroked Ling'er's red and swollen face, and said slightly apologetically:

"It's all to blame for my dizziness in the morning, and I didn't have a serious start, look at what I beat you, does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, my aunt should be beaten, it's all bad for the slave and maid, it's bad for you, thank you for your intercession, I didn't let the second grandmother drive the slave out"

After listening to Ling'er's words, Aunt Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and asked without giving up:

"Is Si'er really tripping you?"

"It's true, it's not the slave and the maid to shirk, this day is important, the slave and the maid are more careful than in the past, I'm afraid that something will go wrong, I miss a big thing, I know that Aunt Cui doesn't like you, I have long guarded against it, I thought that in front of the second grandmother, they didn't dare to come out of the demon moth, who knew that they didn't pay attention to the road, it must be Aunt Cui who was afraid that you would steal the limelight, so she instructed Si'er to make it bad, auntie, you didn't see it, Aunt Cui looked proud when she went out, and the slave and maid couldn't step forward to tear her apart."

After listening to Ling'er's words, Aunt Zhang's eyes narrowed into a line, and after a long time, she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth:

"Aunt Cui, from now on, there will be you without me in this courtyard, and there will be me without you!"

Ling'er rarely saw Aunt Zhang like this, and she was secretly frightened, thinking of Aunt Li, the big maids in her house had been bought into a brothel, and her heart was half cold, and she hurriedly dissuaded:

"Auntie, don't think so, don't forget, Aunt Cui is the personal maid of the eldest lady, the eldest lady will protect her more or less, she has no birth, but relying on the younger to please the second master, it is better to be close to you and the second master, we still have to guard the young lady well."

Speaking of her children, Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered something and asked:

"I forgot to ask if I was busy in the past two days, and that Bailan was sent to Begonia Garden."

After listening to Aunt Zhang's words, Ling'er's eyes lit up and replied:

"Aunt didn't say it, the slave and maid also forgot, the day before yesterday I sent it over, at that time you were wearing a headdress, the slave and maid thought about returning to you in the future, but I didn't want to forget it"

"How did you send it, Aunt Cui didn't get suspicious?"

"A few days ago, the slave maid went to get a share, but I happened to meet Wu'er, so I casually mentioned that in order to welcome the second master, you found the Bailan that had been treasured for two years, and said that this spice has a unique taste, and the second master is full of praise."

"What did Wu'er say?"

"Wu'er first asked where to buy it, the slave maid said that your brother occasionally bumped into it when he went to sea with his friends two years ago, and knew that the second master was very happy, so he seemed to have to send the treasure, Daqi didn't have it at all, the second master was not at home, and the aunt herself was reluctant to use it."

"You said it well, what happened?"

Later, Wu'er asked if she could give her a higher price, but the slave and maid were afraid that they would be suspicious if they agreed too much, so they refused, and only praised the benefits of Na Bailan.

Fifty-nine literature

"If you boast like this, aren't you afraid that they will be suspicious?"

"Don't be afraid, my aunt doesn't know, that Wu'er thought I was deliberately showing off in front of her, but my face was green at that time, so I took something and left directly"

"And what excuse did you make to send it there?"

"Why use us to make excuses, it's the jewel to find me, saying that the eldest lady heard about Bailan and wants to ask for some, auntie, you think, the eldest lady never likes these, and the show girl didn't come, how can it be that Baba sent the jewel to ask for it, it must be Aunt Cui who asked for the jewel, but played the banner of the eldest lady, Aunt Cui and the jewel are the best when she is a maid, the slave maid pretended to be embarrassed for a long time, saying that she wanted to return to you, and only sent the jewel the next day, yesterday the slave maid specially inquired, and listened to Aunt Cui's little maid said, Aunt Cui returned home for the second master, What kind of strange fragrance did I ask for, I think it was Bai Lan, but the slave didn't understand, such a good spice, the second master liked it so much, why did he cheapen Aunt Cui for nothing? ”

Listening to Ling'er's question, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Aunt Zhang's eyes, and she muttered for a moment and said:

"The last time my brother came, I said that this Bailan is overseas strange soil with cedar, clover petals, musk and other raw materials to concoct, the fragrance is unique and long-lasting, it is very rare, but this musk can make women infertile, but unfortunately I didn't know before, I used it for a while, since I had the third miss, although the second master is often here, but there has never been a man and a half woman, I think it is related to the use of this Bailan, I only hate my brother only the second master likes strange fragrance, everywhere in exchange for me, it hurt me, I didn't see these days I am conditioning, the second master is back, This time I will definitely win a man in one fell swoop, once I have a little son, I am not afraid that Aunt Cui will be publicized again"

As she was talking, Jin Feng pushed the door in, and when she saw Jin Feng, Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up, she had forgotten the topic just now, and hurriedly asked:

"The second master is back, didn't you ask me why I didn't go to greet me, what did the second master do when he came back? Where are you now, did you say which courtyard you will stay in tonight? ”

Jin Feng took a sip of the water handed over by the little maid, took a breath, and then said with a smile:

"My aunt asked so many questions in one breath, and the slave maid opened her mouth, how could she answer at once?"

Aunt Zhang's eyes stood when she heard this:

"Dead girl, don't you say it quickly, say something useless again, see if I don't hammer you?"

Jin Feng stuck out his tongue and said knowingly:

"When the second master came back in the morning, there were too many people on the door, I think it was not good for the second master to inquire about your affairs, but the slave maid could see clearly, when the aunts asked for peace, the second master's eyes had been wandering, especially Aunt Cui, wiping tears from the second master, but the second master looked absent-minded, only hummed casually, and sent away, auntie, you were not in front of you, I didn't see it, Aunt Cui's face was green at the time, how embarrassing it was, how embarrassing it was, she stepped aside in vain, and the slave and maid looked at the back and wanted to laugh."

After Jin Feng finished speaking, she peeked at Aunt Zhang, and saw that she was already smiling, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"The slave maid guessed, the second master must not have seen you, and it was difficult to ask in front of everyone, so he didn't have the mind"

"Go on, don't say anything useless."

Listening to Jin Feng's words, Aunt Zhang couldn't close her mouth excitedly, and gave a lecture.

When Jin Feng saw it, he said obediently again:

"After seeing the ceremony, the second master ordered everyone to go back, and went to the Shouxi Hall with the second grandmother"

"Went with the second grandmother? The second master also sits in a sedan chair? ”

"The second master also sat in a sedan chair, but he sat in two sedan chairs separately from the second grandmother"

When Aunt Zhang heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"What do I say? When the second master returned home, of course he and the second grandmother went to see the old lady, but it was just a formality."

"That's it, the slave maid also thinks so, this is the rule of the house, the second master doesn't really like to go out and go in with the second grandmother, after lunch, the old lady sent the eldest lady and the second grandmother away, the second master is now discussing with the old lady in the west room of the Shouxi Hall."

"The second grandmother is also back?"

"I'm back, the second grandma said that he was going to discuss it late, and asked the second grandmother to go back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard first, and asked the second grandmother to sort out the few cars of things he sent back in the morning, saying that they were distributed to each hospital, and they all wrote their names, and asked the second grandmother to send them, and the rest was counted and put in the library."

Aunt Zhang looked at Jin Feng with wide eyes:

"This kind of trivial matter, the second master has always been too lazy to ask, why is it arranged so carefully? Did you hear it with your own ears? ”

"The slave and maid are also strange, how does the second master take care of the affairs of the backyard, I think it is because I think the second grandmother is clumsy and lazy, so I arranged it myself? Before the second master went to the west room, he followed the second grandmother all the time, and when he went out of the hall door, he ordered the second grandmother, and the slave and maid stood not far outside, and they could hear it clearly."

Aunt Zhang listened to Jin Feng's words, and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it, she didn't think about it anymore, and then asked:

"The second master didn't say which garden he stayed in tonight? We prepared early."

"The second master only said that it would be very late, and he would send someone to deliver a message back then, but he didn't say where he was. It stands to reason that I should stay in the main house today, I think it's not good for the second master to go to other gardens in front of the second grandmother, maybe he will come directly to our yard, and then send someone to send a message to the second grandmother."

Aunt Zhang listened, pondered for a moment, and said:

"The second master is either here tonight, or going to the Begonia Garden, no matter what, let's make some preparations early, so as not to be caught off guard, by the way, the second grandmother didn't say anything when she came back?"

"The slave is afraid that after the second grandmother comes back, she will pass on the aunts to speak, after all, the second master has just come back, and there are many things that need to be sorted out, so she has been following into Xiao Xiang Courtyard, thinking that the second grandmother will pass you, the slave and the maid will pass it directly, and after waiting for a long time, the second grandmother only passed the eldest aunt to count the things that the second master brought back, and let people disperse, saying that the aunts got up early in the morning to welcome the second master, and they were very hard, and they didn't have to go over to ask for peace at night, and they rested early."

As soon as Aunt Zhang heard that she had counted things, such a good thing to make money, the second grandmother only passed on the eldest aunt and did not call them over, she was suddenly jealous and snorted coldly:

"Let's rest! She has that kind heart, she must be afraid that we will bump into the second master in the past and come back, steal the limelight, hum, don't let me go, I don't want to serve her! ”

Ling'er listened and hurriedly agreed:

"That's right, the eldest aunt doesn't know which tendon is broken, she has been obedient to the second grandmother in the past two years, living like a dog, don't you still want to get any benefits from her?"

"Benefits, hum, think beautifully, this family is the eldest wife, follow the second grandmother can still be good, and burn high incense without punishment, you haven't seen the second grandmother enter the door, the second master has not been pampered, and the eldest lady has not even looked at it, saying that it is the master, it is not as decent as a slave, a manager An will press her like that, not to mention that her monthly share has not come down normally, just say that in the past two years, she has done something to the manager of An, this is such a big day, you see that she is dressed up like that poor and sour, and there is no valuable thing on her head"

Hearing Aunt Zhang say this, Jin Feng said:

"That's what I said, don't be angry, the second master is back, the cousin girl will definitely come to see the second master, this cousin girl is seventeen, she is about to become an old girl, she has not been looking for her mother-in-law, she is not waiting for the second master, I heard that the old lady is approved two years ago, because the second master suddenly went out, this matter was left behind, the second master is back, this matter has to be raised, when the second grandmother falls, you just see, the eldest aunt will not be good!"

Hearing Jin Feng mention her cousin, Ling'er said hesitantly:

"My cousin is here, and our days are not easy."

When Aunt Zhang heard this, her expression darkened, she was silent for a long time, and said unwillingly:

"No matter how bad it is, it won't be dismissed."

Seeing this, Ling'er and Jin Feng dared to speak, lowered their heads and began to think about welcoming the second master, if they didn't get ready first, the second master really came over, and the aunt would lose face, then they would have a good life......
