The steamed lotus leaf rice was served in a high bowl and distributed to the ladies to taste.

Grandma Wu was full of praise for Jin Chao's craftsmanship, and after eating several more pieces, Mrs. Chen laughed at her: "There is sticky rice here, be careful not to eat it!" ”

Jin Chao smiled and said, "It's not just my craft, Sister Xi also helped peel the peas and mix the diced bacon." ”

Chen Zhao pulled her sleeve and asked her to praise herself: "Third aunt, I also peeled peas!" Everyone laughed.

Chen Xi sat beside Gu Jinchao, his cheeks red and a little embarrassed. But it's fun to cook lotus leaf rice with Jin Chao, she has never been so relaxed before. Her mother always taught her to be humble and polite, and she didn't often ask her to touch the kitchen when she thought it was a matter of saltiness. Even when she enters a kitchen, the mother-in-law has to guard her, for fear that if she hurts her with a kitchen knife or splashes oil on her body, they will be punished by her mother.

She even sang the minor tune of Cai Lian......

Chen Xi felt that Jin Chao was a very interesting person, and sat close to her. When she hears others praise the lotus leaf rice for being delicious, she will also have a smile on her face.

Coaxing a child is actually quite simple, if you are good to them, she will naturally feel it. Jin Chao looked at the small pearl headbands on Chen Xi's buns, and suddenly felt a sense of pity. Although Chen Zhao is two years younger than Chen Xi, he looks much more lively. Chen Zhao was in the kitchen, shouting to do this and that, but Chen Xi stood obediently and skillfully, asking her to do anything without refusing.

It seems that knowing that he has no mother, he quickly matures. Become cautious.

Jin Chao whispered to her: "I have a lotus pond screen there, which I originally embroidered, do you like lotus flowers?" Why don't I give you that screen? ”

Chen Xi nodded, and his voice was very childish: "Mother said that the lotus flower is out of the mud but not stained, and the water is clear and rippled but not demonic." And he said, "There is a screen of plum orchids and chrysanthemums in my room." It's been used for years. I've only seen the screen embroidered with lotus flowers, but I haven't seen the embroidered lotus pond, and there is a small pavilion like that in the lotus pond in the back garden? ”

Jin Chao smiled and nodded: "Hmm." There are small pavilions, and weeping willows by the pond. ”

Chen Xi nodded slightly. I was looking forward to the screen of the lotus pond, and after thinking about it, I said: "Then I will also give you a handkerchief, I learned to embroider dragonflies with Mama An." ”

Jin Chao thought that Jiang's teaching was still very good, at least Chen Xi was very polite at a young age.

After a while, Ge Shi came over to greet Mrs. Chen. She was wearing a blue background and white tea weaving gown, her hair was only combed in a bun, and she wore a pair of silver cloves, looking very haggard, which frightened Mrs. Chen: "The sixth daughter-in-law." What's wrong with you? ”

Ge Shi smiled: "I slept on the pillow last night, it's not in the way." ”

Old Madam Chen nodded: "You are not in good health, don't sleep on bamboo pillows and jade pillows like others." I still have chrysanthemums dried in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and you can make a pillow. ”

Ge Shi thanked Mrs. Chen: "How can your daughter-in-law use the things you brought to make tea, I still have some cassia seeds there to use." ”

Jin Chao saw that Ge's eyes were blue and black, and thought to himself that she should know about Chen Liuye. It's just that her husband has an outer room, and she has to make trouble to the point that everyone knows about it, I'm afraid she will feel very uncomfortable. And she's such a submissive character. No one said anything when she encountered something, and several concubines were not intimate with her, and she was even more depressed. That is, Mrs. Chen still cherishes her more on weekdays.

Chen Liuye slept outside and stayed in the willows. Naturally, she didn't dare to say a word.

…… That's why it ended up like that.

Jin Chao beckoned Ge Shi to come over and sit down, and handed her a plate of silk candy: "...... It was brought by my mother to the two sisters just now, and I tasted a piece, which turned into slag in my mouth, sweet but not greasy. Do you want to try it too? She remembers that Ge had a sweet tooth.

Ge Shi glanced at Gu Jinchao, then muttered a thank you, picked up a piece of silk candy and put it in his mouth.

The Qin family whispered to Ge's family: "The sixth brother and sister are not particular, and there are still the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother of the Wu family here in my mother. Shouldn't have come with a silver clove...... Fortunately, my mother didn't say anything. You can pay attention to these. ”

Ge Shi nodded: "The second sister-in-law said well, but it's me who is not good......" There was still a nest candy in his mouth. His voice choked, and his eyes quickly turned red. The Qin clan was taken aback by her. She just said that no matter how much Ge Shi minded, she wouldn't cry!

Ge Shi couldn't control it, wiped his tears with his sleeve and said intermittently: "Never again......"

The few people who played cards were shocked, and Mrs. Chen hurriedly called Ge Shi over: "Why are you crying, are you wronged?" If you are really wronged, you will say ...... to your mother" and give a look to the Wang family who was standing. The Wang family hurriedly invited the two ladies of the Wu family to have tea in the room.

Ge Shi was so crying that she couldn't speak, and several people were busy helping her to sit on the Luohan bed, and Mrs. Chen's voice was much stricter: "Is it that the sixth child is doing something bastard again, I haven't scolded him yet!" You tell me honestly, if you don't, I'll ask him to come and ask me. ”

Seeing that she refused to speak, Mrs. Chen instructed the green pothos beside her: "Go find the sixth master now!" Make it clear to me! ”

Ge Shi panicked at this time, grabbed the green pothos, and choked in a low voice: "It's really ugly, the sixth master told you not to know." It's also the Cui family's business, the fourth master has already dealt with the sixth master and came back......"

Jin Chao sighed.

Old Madam Chen's voice was even colder: "Do you want the fourth child to accompany him?" What's wrong with that thing, can't you make a fuss about carrying your aunt? ”

Ge suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. Old Madam Chen didn't care about her anymore, and asked Zihe, the girl beside Ge's side, directly: "You can make it clear." If you refuse to speak, I will sell you to the ravine at once. ”

Zihe was so frightened that she knelt down and made things clear intermittently.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and Old Madam Chen was even more angry, "...... He drove people to death, one corpse and two lives? You're hiding it from me, old woman...... I won't know until the rumors reach my ears? He pointed to the pothos and said, "Go and get him for me now!" ”

Chen Liuye was quickly found, he had just returned from the Cui family, and he hadn't had time to take a breath. Old Madam Chen asked him to follow him to the back room to speak, and he was full of smiles: "Mother." You also let your son breathe, didn't you! Seeing that Old Madam Chen's tense face did not relax in the slightest, he couldn't help but glance back at Ge, who was still crying.

The ladies stayed in the western room. Jin Chao comforted Ge Shi a few words: "Sixth brother and sister, it's not your fault for this. Don't cry anymore. It hurts the hearts of those who pity you, but it doesn't do anything. ”

Ge Shi nodded, and took the sweat towel handed over by Jin Chao: "Let the third sister-in-law see my joke, I just can't stand it......"

It was at this time that Chen Xuanqing and Chen Xuanxin came over to say goodbye to Mrs. Chen, and Chen Xuanqing had been instructing Chen Xuanxin in his homework for the past few days. I wanted to accompany Mrs. Chen to dinner, but I saw that everyone in the second room looked solemn. I couldn't see Mrs. Chen. And Gu Jinchao spoke softly to Ge's family, Ge's eyes were red and swollen, and he looked like he had cried.

He asked his elders for peace one by one, but when he waited for Gu Jinchao, he paused before saying, "Mother is fine." ”

Jin Chao nodded lightly, not wanting to pay much attention to him.

Qin asked him to come over and whispered to him, "Your grandmother is talking to your sixth uncle inside. ”

Chen Xuanqing frowned, the sixth aunt was crying, but the sixth uncle was being questioned by his grandmother inside...... What's going on? He asked, "Did you send someone to call my father?" ”

Qin nodded: "Your mother has already sent someone just now." ”

Chen Xuanqing subconsciously glanced in the direction of Gu Jinchao. saw Chen Xi sitting next to her, talking to her in a low voice.

Gu Jinchao listened very carefully. He was very gentle with Chen Xi's appearance. Chen Xi rarely whispers childishly to others, so she shouldn't treat Chen Xi badly...... As soon as his thoughts flashed, he suddenly heard the sound of porcelain breaking from the back room. There was also the angry rebuke of Old Madam Chen.

Chen Xuanxin stretched his neck curiously, but he couldn't see anything.

The little girl who served brought hot tea to the two of them. Chen Xuanqing didn't want to drink it, so he casually put it on the high table.

The door of the inner room finally opened, and Chen Liuye was dejected when he came out of it. Mrs. Chen scolded him for being a bloody dog, and she insisted that he go to Baoxiang Temple to live for half a year to chant and pray for the dead Cui mother and son. How can such a life be ...... He looked up and saw Ge's weeping face. The grievances and annoyances he had suffered in the past few days turned into anger, and he stepped forward to ask her, "Did you tell your mother?" ”

Ge Shi was taken aback by him, and hurriedly said, "Sixth Master." I didn't ......."

Chen Liuye interrupted her with a sneer: "Last time I and Cui's family, didn't you also cry in front of your mother!" If you hadn't told your mother. Can I do this to Choi's? She's not going to die...... What else do you have to cry about, pretend to be pitiful to whom! ”

Ge stood up. whispered: "Sixth Master, this ...... How can you blame me for this...... I, if only I knew that Choi was pregnant......"

Chen Liuye heard her retort. The anger in his heart was even stronger, "Then you have to tell your mother, didn't I tell you earlier that you can't talk nonsense, you just want everyone to know about it, look at my jokes!" You go back with me, explain it to me well......" He raised his hand and wanted to grab Ge Shi over, but with a bang, he knocked over the tea on the high table.

Chen Xi sat next to Gao Ji...... Jin Chao didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly hugged her over, and the hot and steaming tea was all poured on her arms and shoulders.

Chen Xi didn't realize anything, and only cried out when he was let go.

Qin Shi hurriedly hugged Chen Xi over to comfort her 'don't cry', and checked if she was burned somewhere. Wang took Jin Chao's hand and asked, "Third sister-in-law, is it hot?" Jin Chao shook his head and said it was okay. Chen Liuye was shocked and regretful, who put a cup of hot tea on the high table! was still hot with the third sister-in-law who had just entered the door, and he was busy apologizing to Jin Chao, and it was very chaotic for a while.

That cup of tea...... He put it with his hand. But he didn't mean to. Chen Xuanqing thought of Gu Jinchao's action of protecting Chen Xi just now, clenched his hand and stopped talking. (To be continued)
