Fu Tingyun happily welcomed Zhao Ling back, but here he calmly turned around in the study with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that it was already past dinner, Yu Jingxiu had no intention of going out, Mo Zhan visited the door of the study several times, and retreated to the inner room lightly several times.

Fan couldn't hide his worry, and muttered with a handkerchief: "I was still happy when I got home, why did I go to my mother-in-law's house, why did I have a sad face when I came back, what did my mother-in-law say to my father-in-law?" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Others are looking forward to her son and daughter-in-law being good, her mother-in-law is good, staring at her every day, and a little trivial thing can also make a lot of trouble, which makes people feel uneasy.

The thought flashed, she couldn't help frowning, and whispered to Mo Zhen: "You go over there to inquire, I'll go and persuade the eldest young master to come out for dinner—when I see it, it's time to go to greet my father-in-law and mother-in-law, can I still go on an empty stomach?" ”

Mo Zhan has been a little afraid of seeing Mother Shu since the last time she ate deflated at Cambodia's mother, and a few close-fitting maids around Mrs. Yu are also some exquisite-hearted, seeing the wind and rudder, there is no one who is easy to get along, she spent a lot of silver, and accompanied a lot with a smile, so she made friends with two x three second-class x third-class maids.

She retreated in a deep voice.

Fan went to Gu Jingxiu.

Yu Jingxiu was annoyed in his heart, and his tone couldn't help but be a little bad: "—... Dad doesn't know if he's not at home, where his mother is, just to say two words, it won't take two quarters of an hour, why are you in a hurry? ”

Fan has never heard such heavy words, and tears are rolling in his eyes~ sockets.

Yu Jingxiu's heart softened, and he took Fan Shi to sit down on the low couch in the study, and said softly: "Aren't I unhappy?" You don't take it to heart. ”

Fan Shi took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears and choked up: "I'm still annoyed, I'm scared!" Showing a little timidity like a weak willow Buddha wind, Yu Jingxiu was even more uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Where is it, I am annoyed, no one will be annoyed by you." After pleasing the good words for a long time, the Fan family burst into tears and laughed, and the two went to the hall where the meal was set up with a smile.

The figure of Mo Zhan shook in front of the hall, Fan got up quietly, and said to Yu Jingxiu with a sneer: "The concubine went to make a cup of tea for Xianggong to apologize to Xianggong, and Xianggong can't help but continue." ”

Yu Jingxiu naturally claimed to be good.

Fan went to the tea room on the side.

Mo Zhan was anxious, and as if pouring beans into a bamboo tube, he told Fan everything he had heard.

Fan's face turned pale instantly, grabbed Mo Zhen's hand, and said hurriedly: "Mother-in-law who really answered like this?" ”

Mo Zhen nodded, and his face was a little unsightly: "It's true." I heard that after the young master left, my mother-in-law called all the first-class and second-class maids around her in, and looked at each other one by one and asked each other? I look like that, it's like I'm going to pick someone in the house for the young master! ”

Fan bit his lip stiffly.

Mo Zhen said in a panic: "Second Miss, what can I do about this?" He called out the old name.

Fan's heart is full of flavors, where did he notice this.

It happened so suddenly, she didn't have a claim for a while, and Yu Jingxiu was waiting in the hall to have dinner with her, so she had to send Mo Zhu away first: "Don't make a noise about this matter first, and I'll talk about it in the evening." ”

Mo Zhan nodded again and again, helped the soulless Fan make a cup of tea, and watched Fan take the tea cup to the hall, and then sat thoughtfully on the small machine in the tea room.

There is also the eldest lady above the second lady, and the lord adheres to the principle of one thing, although the second lady is married to show that she can marry but is the same as the eldest lady, in addition to some good fields, shops, tin porcelain jars, there are four maids, two companions. This kind of dowry is naturally very decent in other people's homes, but it is like a muddy sea, and a few companion rooms are not enough at all, not to mention helping the second lady to find out the news and take care of the people, and then Mrs. Yu rewarded her with four maids and four rough mothers-in-law.

After all, it's not your own person, and it's not easy to use. But the elders gave it, and it was hard to say, so it could only be put in the house. The second lady is not only polite in words and generous in money, but also takes care of the families of these people, and when it takes more than a year, it is not easy to subdue a few people, Mrs. Yu smiled slightly, and took her to Kyoto, but left all the servants in his house in Nanjing, and only let the second miss take her to four accompanying maids.

But there are also benefits.

At least there are few houses in Kyoto, there is no need to add more people around the second miss, and the second miss and the young master don't have to guard against anyone, let alone be afraid of being seen in the case of the couple's private sweetness being rumored or told to Mrs. Yu, which makes Mrs. Yu unhappy.

If the young master's room is the maid ...... Mrs. Yu's side, it is equivalent to installing a pair of eyes and ears in their room, and the second lady's words and deeds will not be able to hide from Mrs. Yu... It's just that the second miss is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Mrs. Yu,—..., if there is no place to vomit, how can the second miss live this day!

Mo Zhen felt anxious when he thought about it.

The best thing for the people in the young master's house is to find ...... from the second lady's dowryman—but whoever gives birth to a son will keep the son to his mother"—

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Mother Shu served Mrs. Yu to change into her sleeping clothes, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Are you really going to choose a personal service for the young master among a few maids?" ”

"How is that possible?" Mrs. Yu got into bed, "My grandson, eldest grandson, how can it be a maidservant?" Why does it have to be an innocent girl with a good background, right? It's just a show, so that Depu's daughter-in-law is anxious! As he spoke, he muttered, "I'm really a brainless person, and I don't know how I grew so big."

Mother Cambodia couldn't answer this sentence, pretended not to hear it, and smiled and helped Mrs. Yu put the tent—,——

※※※※※

The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded in Shijia Hutong, and the kung fu of the half-pillar incense had not stopped.

Li Darenhufu, who lived in the front of the Hutong of the Division, served as the prefect for three years, and served as the left senator of the political secretary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a year, and was promoted to the political envoy, and just returned to Kyoto, ready to face the saint Shane, heard the endless sound of firecrackers, and asked the entourage around him: "Whose family is doing good deeds?" ”

Immediately a little servant ran to inquire, and came back panting; "It's the younger brother of Lord Zhao Huchen, the deputy chief soldier of Xuantong, who has passed the county test."

Lord Li was a little overwhelmed when he heard this, and the entourage around him smiled and said: "After the county test, it will be so lively, if you pass the hospital test, pass the government test, and win the lifting and jinshi, wouldn't you have to set up a flowing water seat for people to eat and drink." ”

The little guy said a little embarrassedly: "I heard that the manager of the Zhao family said exactly that." ”

For a moment, the entourage was a little dumbfounded when he heard it.

Master Li looked at it and smiled dumbly, and said, "Get up in the sedan chair!" I'm going to go out to meet friends later! ”

A group of people hurriedly got up and went to the alley of the company.

Ah Sen looked at the big red firecracker that exploded in the air, and couldn't help but blush: "No, don't be like this, when I win the tribute, it's not too late for you to celebrate." ”

Yang Yucheng, who was hanging a newly dismantled string of firecrackers on the bamboo pole, said with a smile: "That's not possible!" When you win the tribute, we will buy bigger firecrackers to put them. ”

Ah Sen had a bitter face: "Others will die of laughter." ”

"We celebrate what I do and what others do." Yang Yucheng smiled at Ah Sen, but the laugher was a little narrow, "If you want to fight for luck, you have to take the test for a tribute." ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw Zhao Ling come out of the curtain and shouted: "After putting this firecracker, don't put it anymore, be careful to startle the child in the belly of Youyou and your sister-in-law." ”

Yang Yucheng haha, Ah Sen ran into the inner room.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Yucheng is laughing at me!" He complained to Fu Tingyun aggrievedly.

"But it's true that our family has passed the county test!" Fu Tingyun smiled, "And it's still the seventh ......, we will celebrate when it's time to celebrate, what's so embarrassing." ”

Ah Sen was right to think about it, and immediately recovered his free and easy temperament, glanced at Fu Tingyun's stomach, and said, "Didn't scare my sister-in-law, did you?" ”

"I'm not blown by the wind." Fu Tingyun asked him with a smile, "A few of you classmates have made an appointment to go to thank the teacher, and I will be ready to prepare." ”

"Just these two days." Ah Sen smiled and sat on the side of Xiao Hangzi, "I'm asking Yanqing to ask everyone what things to bring, and I'll just follow the crowd when the time comes." ”

Fu Tingyun nodded.

Zhao Ling came in with a smile: "Mrs. Wang brought two young ladies over and said that she wanted to celebrate Asen for passing the county exam." ”

Fu Tingyun smiled and got off the kang.

Zhao Ling and Ah Sen hurriedly helped her right and left.

Fu Tingyun smiled: "I'm not a paper paste." He politely refused to ask the two of them, and walked swiftly in and out of the inner chamber.

Zhao Ling and Ah Sen looked at each other.

Zhao Ling asked Ah Sen: "Is your sister-in-law usually like this at home?" ”

Ah Sen thought for a while and said, "It wasn't like this in the first few months, but in the past few months, it's starting to be the same as usual again." ”

Zhao Ling told Ah Sen: "You should also be careful at all times, and help your sister-in-law run errands if there is anything." ”

"Hmm!" Ah Sen responded, but said a little depressedly, "Brother Yuanbao is engaged and lives at home, and Brother Yucheng also comes to see my sister-in-law every now and then, everyone thinks I'm young and doesn't call me if I have something." Ninth Master, you might as well talk to your sister-in-law, and if you have something in the future, just tell me directly...... As if he didn't think this was convincing, he straightened his chest and said, "I've passed the county exam now, maybe I'll be a talent in a few years!" ”

Zhao Ling laughed.

Then he smiled and said with a straight face; "I won't be at home for a few years, you are the male in the family, don't let your sister-in-law come forward for everything, you have to help more in family affairs."

"I see." Ah Sen's voice was crisp, "Don't worry, Ninth Master, I will take good care of my nephews, study well with Mr., and gain fame." ”

Zhao Ling nodded with satisfaction, and when the two of them left the inner room, they saw Fu Tingyun and Mrs. Wang holding hands towards the main house, followed by the calm Wang family size and the lively second lady of the Wang family.

Zai Sen couldn't help but smile all over his face.
