Mrs. Hou Ye saw that the hour was not early, so she called the accompanying mother-in-law and maids to wait, and the group went back to the palace.

The eldest lady was busy asking people to prepare jade cups, color forgings, wrist incense beads and other fine objects, plus the opera troupe that had just sung the hall to serve them together.

Before leaving, Mrs. Hou remembered something, and instructed the maid to send a vermilion gold lacquer box carved with plum blossoms, "Look at me, I was happy to see you, but I forgot that I entered the palace a few days ago to watch the ceremony, and the mother asked me to bring this to you." ”

The eldest lady hurriedly took it, and then stood aside until Mrs. Cai's carriage was no longer visible, and then turned around and went home.

Along the pendulum on both sides of the weeding gate into the inner courtyard, the eldest lady opened the box to see, it was a "Security Extension Sutra" picked up the scriptures, and there was a neatly stacked handkerchief below, which was a brocade that could only be used in the palace, and a peony was embroidered on it.

The eldest lady couldn't help but "hum", if it weren't for her niece's dignified and beautiful facial features, people are also well-read, and she took up the time of a noble person when she was born, she would not have sent her to the palace, who knew that she was so uncompetitive, and now she is just a nobleman.

Mother Chen read the Buddhist scriptures and smiled and relieved the eldest wife, "Miss nephew is a filial piety, and when she enters the palace, she doesn't forget that her wife likes Buddhist scriptures, so she asks someone to bring them out." ”

The eldest lady sneered, "What's the use of filial piety? spent a lot of money, and I didn't see her any interest, so I arranged for someone to go in with a little more silver, so that she could work up and down, and she had to try her best to fight for a higher position. ”

Mother Chen hurriedly said yes, but she couldn't bear it in her heart, Miss Nephew was a fairy-like character, with a good heart, and the knowledge in her stomach was no worse than that of the fifth lady in the house, at that time she was still searching, and she didn't know which family could marry such a young lady, but she didn't think about it and let the eldest lady send it to the palace.

Such a quiet person asks the eldest lady for help with Niangniang's hand, and it must be very sad to come to life in the palace.

Once you can't please Long Yan in the palace, after a few years, when you get old, it's over.

The eldest lady closed the box in her hand and handed it to Chen's mother.

Chen's mother hurriedly followed over and said, "There is nothing suspicious about Miss Six, it's Miss Eight, and I don't know where it went, I have already brought the hibiscus, do you want to ask in person?" ”

The eldest lady said, "Take it to my house." ”

The eldest lady walked back with people, and the atmosphere in the house suddenly became tense, and most of the maids did not dare to look at the eldest lady's face, and all of them served carefully.

Chen's mother said: "I have sent someone to find it quietly, but it is not in the garden." ”

"What about the other ladies?"

"Not there."

The eldest lady glanced at Chen's mother, "You tell me what happened to Miss Sixth carefully." ”

Chen's mother hurriedly said carefully, and she didn't dare to leave a single detail behind.

"I'm afraid that there will be a fake, but if I look closely, it's all Miss Six's words, so it seems that Miss Eight is more suspicious than Miss Six. Although the eighth lady has only just entered the mansion, I heard that Aunt Seventh is not an ordinary master, and she has something to teach her outside the mansion. There will be some preparation before entering the house, and it is not strange to have dealings with other maids and women in the house. ”

"It's because you're born and raised outside, and people's hearts are more unknowable, so you can pay more attention."

Chen's mother said, "Yes." "The eldest lady never trusts people easily, and the young lady who is out of the house doesn't say anything about it, and if she doesn't grow up with her own eyes, it's even more difficult to say," or call all the maids who have contact with Mrs. Qian to ask? ”

The eldest lady said: "Are you afraid that there are few people in the house who know?" "As soon as Mrs. Hou Ye left, she made a big fuss in the mansion, if this matter reached the Hou Ye Mansion...... If she also checks it out over there, she may also find out the eyeliner she has planted, and it will be troublesome both horizontally and vertically, and she doesn't want to cause trouble until her plan is implemented.

Several people around her knew that she was suspicious and sick, and it was all because of the fifth miss, if it wasn't for the old man to see the clues, she was still in the dark, and finally the fifth miss died, and the old man counted the whole thing on her head, blaming her for not being strict with the housekeeper, there are always a few times a year to mention, these years she is about to become a frightened bird, for fear that there will be a second fifth miss out, so everything cares, the suspicion is also better than a year, if the people around her are not favored by her, she definitely doesn't need to, the people in the house do not go through several temptations, She wouldn't believe it either.

Thinking of Miss Five, the eldest lady gritted her teeth with hatred, if she knew that the hoof would cause trouble, it would be better to dispose of her as soon as possible.

Mother Chen looked at the eldest lady's gloomy and uncertain face, before Miss Eight entered the mansion, the eldest lady thought about marrying her out quickly, if today's matter is confirmed, the days in Miss Eight's mansion will come to an end.

Hibiscus followed behind, the eldest lady didn't ask, she didn't dare to say anything, she was walking, she felt someone around her, she looked sideways, it was Deacon Cui's family, and then there was a pain in her arm, knowing that it was Deacon Cui's family who screwed her ruthlessly.

Mu Hibiscus didn't dare to say anything, only listening to Deacon Cui's family scolding in a low voice: "Dead hoof, what happened to you again?" If you admit it by mistake, don't implicate the old lady. ”

After Deacon Cui's family said this, Dong Rui, the maid beside the eldest lady, glanced at Mu Hibiscus thoughtfully.

The eldest lady entered the yard, and saw Chunyao coming out of the house, Chunyao did a good job of needlework, she specially instructed Chunyao to think more about making some tricks on the needlework these days, seeing that the old lady's seventieth birthday was coming, the relatives of the clan would inevitably get together, so it was indispensable to do something stubborn to come out and give it away.

Chunyao saw that there were so many people behind the eldest lady, but he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and then looked at the hibiscus behind him who was already so frightened that he didn't look like a person, and when he thought about it, he understood a little.

The eldest lady said: "I shouldn't send you on an errand today, I should let you follow Miss Eight, I have watched the play, Miss Eight went to the garden, and now I don't know where I went, will I find the wrong way." ”

Chunyao hurriedly said: "This is the slave's fault, the slave knows where Miss Eight is, but she forgot to call someone to tell Mrs. ”

The eldest lady couldn't help but be a little surprised, her eyes flashed, and she looked at Chunyao carefully.

Chunyao nodded, "Miss Eight is in Mrs. Niang's room. As soon as the words fell, the curtain moved again, and Miss Eight really picked up the curtain and walked out.

Rong Hua saw that it was the eldest lady outside, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, the eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and complained, "You kid, why did you come here, I thought they lost you again, and I was about to look for the maid everywhere." ”

Rong Hua hurriedly said: "Let my mother bother, I was looking around in the garden, but I walked to my mother without thinking, and I happened to see Chunyao, I thought I had something to ask her, so I followed her in." ”

The eldest lady smiled, "If it's just usual, there is a drama in the inner courtyard today, for fear that you will meet someone you shouldn't see." He stretched out his hand and pulled Rong Hua up, "It's cold outside, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Mother Chen saw that Miss Eight had been found, and knew that the previous plans were no longer counted, so she immediately dismissed those irrelevant ones, leaving only the two girls in Mrs.'s house, Xia and Dong, and the hibiscus in Miss Eight's house.

The eldest lady sat on the main seat, let Rong Hua sit on her right hand, and waited until the girls served the tea, the eldest lady picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then looked sideways at Rong Hua next to her to drink tea.

Waiting for Rong Hua to put down the teacup, the eldest lady smiled, "What are you doing in the house?" ”

Rong Hua couldn't help blushing, "There's nothing, my mother wants to laugh at it." ”

As he spoke, Chunyao had already taken the needlework basket from the round pestle, and took out something from it as he walked.

Chunyao said: "Miss Eight wants to make a leg warmer for her wife, and she doesn't know much about some needlework in it, so she just asked me." ”

"This is for leg warmers?"

Rong Hua nodded, "I heard Chen's mother say that her mother has a leg disease and is most afraid of cold, I have used similar ones before, so I thought that seeing it was the beginning of winter, and my mother might be able to use it when the weather is cold." ”

Mother Chen smiled beside her and said, "I saw it at Miss Eight, and it looked exquisite, so I said it, but I didn't expect Miss Eight to be a heart." ”

The eldest lady smiled kindly, "Bring it to me and show it." ”

Chunyao hurriedly handed over the things in his hand, and the eldest lady looked at them carefully for a long time, "It is said that people with good needlework are good, and there are many young ladies in this house, but they are not as beautiful as the flowers you tie." ”

Rong Hua listened to the eldest lady's praise, and couldn't help but smile shyly, "I don't know anything, but I usually have nothing to do, and I'm idle to do it." ”

The eldest lady patted Rong Hua's hand and said, "It's best for girls to learn this, I also liked to use some needlework when I was young, but now that I'm older, my eyes are not good," and looked at Chunyao again, "I'm worried that there is no good needlework lady in the house, help me do these things, fortunately, you are here, and this matter will be handed over to you." ”

Rong Hua didn't know what was going on, so he just listened obediently.

The eldest lady said: "The old lady's birthday is coming, and the relatives are indispensable to come to celebrate," the eldest lady paused and continued: "Gifts for female dependents are indispensable, some of which have to be made by themselves to have new ideas, Chunyao is a good needlework girl in the house, you discuss to see what kind of good to do, but please think carefully, not afraid of trouble." ”

Rong Hua hurriedly admitted: "Yes." ”

The eldest lady said: "If you can use the embroidery girl, let Chunyao find Deacon Cui's family, it's best to come up with a few tricks and let me see it." ”

Speaking of embroidery girls, Chunyao's heart moved, remembering the hibiscus flowers on the handkerchief and his own life experience, and couldn't help but glance at Miss Eight a few more times. Looking at the quiet and easy-going Miss Eight, Chunyao couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, this matter fell on Miss Eight, and when the time came, she asked Miss Eight to introduce the embroidery girl who could embroider that kind of hibiscus flower needle, and Miss Eight would probably agree.

Rong Hua said: "My daughter must do her best." ”

The eldest lady nodded with satisfaction, "Your sixth sister's acupuncture is also passable, and I will also let her help you." As she spoke, the eldest lady called Chen's mother, "Go and invite Miss Six." ”
