Chu Xiao was suddenly surprised, could it be that Miss Eight got some news?

The eldest lady thought for a moment and said, "Let her in." Saying that, he glanced at Chu Xiao, and Chu Xiao hurriedly stepped aside.

Dong Rui led Miss Eight in.

Rong Hua bowed his head and asked the eldest lady to say goodbye.

The eldest lady beckoned cordially and asked Rong Hua to sit on the chair beside her, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

Rong Hua's face was embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he still spoke, "I thought about it and still came to ask my mother, for fear that if I didn't manage it strictly, something would happen to the people in the house," and called Jinxiu into the house as he spoke, "Say it yourself." ”

Jinxiu suddenly showed a little panic when she saw the eldest lady, and then looked at Chu Xiao in the room, her face also changed, and she looked at Chu Xiao twice, as if she was sincere, Chu Xiao panicked and lowered her head.

The eldest lady looked at the expressions of Jinxiu and Chu Xiao, and slowly asked, "What the hell is going on, don't you say it quickly?" ”

Jinxiu was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and refused to speak.

Rong Hua said: "I know that my mother has always been strict in governing the family, and the maids in the house and the slaves of the rough mother-in-law are all carefully selected, especially the maids and mother-in-law in the garden, which are very important, I have asked the mother-in-law in charge, except for the domestic ones, the maids in the lady's house are not allowed to work in the garden with the relatives who live outside their home, for fear that there will be things that are transmitted privately to flow in, or get together to make up some unbearable gossip." Rong Hua said and glanced at Jinxiu.

Jinxiu immediately lowered his head in fright.

Rong Hua paused, and said, "Today I learned that Jinxiu's brother and sister-in-law have entered the mansion in the past few days. I don't know if this should be or not, so I came to ask my mother to decide. ”

As soon as Rong Hua said this, Chu Xiao next to him accidentally touched the leg of the low table, and couldn't help but let out an "ah". The eldest lady looked down at Jinxiu, then turned her face sideways to look at Chu Xiao, whose face had changed, and remembered the appearance of Chu Xiao who wanted to speak and stopped just now, and her heart suddenly moved.

Jinxiu was already pleading sadly on the side: "My sister-in-law and brother are just doing some casual work in the house, and they never dare to deliver things on weekdays, let alone talk about things in the house at will." ”

The eldest lady asked Jinxiu with a straight face, "You are not a young man when you enter the mansion, you should know the rules of the mansion, how can you do such a thing." ”

Jinxiu suddenly cried, "It's just that I lost my mind for a while, Lao Tzu and Niang are sick, and my brother can't afford to support a large family, so I thought of a way to let them go into the house to find an errand." ”

The eldest lady didn't speak, Mother Chen looked at the eldest lady's face, had a plan in her heart, and hurriedly reprimanded Jinxiu a few words, "Why don't you talk to your wife if you have something at home, you can do this kind of foolish thing yourself, if Miss Eight didn't find out early, in case you are sued by others, you will inevitably make you shameless in front of the whole mansion, and see how you stay in the mansion in the future." ”

Jinxiu knelt down and confessed her mistake again, her face was colorless, and her whole person trembled.

Looking at Jinxiu's pitiful appearance, the eldest lady's face was slightly pale.

Mother Chen took the opportunity to plead on the side, "Jinxiu's family is really difficult, so she didn't make a big mistake, so Mrs. and Miss Eight spared her." ”

The eldest lady decomposed at this time, sighed and looked at Jinxiu, "I have already assigned you to Miss Eight's house, and now Miss Eight has to make a decision before it counts, if Miss Eight thinks you can still use it, and leave you to take a look at it for the time being, if you think you can't use it, or drive it out, or find a tooth woman to lead you out." ”

Jinxiu knelt down a few more steps to beg Ronghua.

Rong Hua hurriedly said: "There is also my fault in this matter, if my mother can nod, I will naturally be happy," said and looked at Jinxiu again, "It's just that it can't be like this in the future." ”

The eldest lady nodded, "Jinxiu girl is also stable on weekdays, today this matter is excusable, her brother is fine in the outer mansion, but her sister-in-law can no longer stay in the inner mansion." ”

Chen's mother said: "The rules of the house naturally cannot be broken, if there is a suitable errand in any house, just introduce her sister-in-law to the past." ”

The eldest lady nodded and looked at Rong Hua on the side, Rong Hua's nervous face just now eased slightly, and the eldest lady recalled Rong Hua's cautious appearance as soon as she entered the door for fear of being blamed. This cautious and self-aware appearance made the eldest lady very satisfied.

The eldest lady smiled kindly, "This kind of thing can't be prevented, but fortunately, Rong Hua is a proper child." ”

This was the first time that the eldest lady had praised her so kindly, and Rong Hua suddenly blushed.

The eldest lady laughed, "Jinxiu went out of my house, I'll talk about her later, if she makes trouble for you again, no one will intercede next time, and she will leave the house directly." ”

Jinxiu hurriedly said again: "I won't dare next time." ”

Rong Hua got up and curtsied and bowed, "Then I'll go back first." ”

The eldest lady smiled and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

Miss Eight left, Mother Chen asked the idle maid to step back, and the eldest lady asked Jinxiu, "Get up and talk," and looked at Chu Xiao on the side again, "What the hell is going on?" Which of you two said? ”

Chu Xiaoxian also came over to stand with Jinxiu, and the two maids didn't dare to take a breath, not knowing what to say.

The eldest lady slapped the table, and the two of them immediately knelt on the ground in fright.

"Don't even say it? Without saying anything, they were all thrown out. ”

Jinxiu knelt on the ground again and pleaded, "Mrs. spare me!" It was I who begged the mother-in-law in charge to let my brother and sister-in-law enter the house, and I really didn't dare to do it again. ”

The eldest lady saw Jinxiu's eyes flickering, knowing that there was a fake in it, she squinted her eyes and stopped asking deeply, "If there is such a thing in the future, I will not spare you, you can go down!" Jinxiu stood up tremblingly and withdrew.

The eldest lady glanced at Chu Xiao, "What about you?" What did you just say? What's going on with the second lady's illness? ”

Chu Xiao knew that she couldn't hide it, just now she wanted to tell the eldest lady what she heard from Jinxiu's mouth, but now that Jinxiu's matter has been shaken out, she will mention this matter again......

"Don't say it yet."

Chu Xiao couldn't think of anything else, knelt down and said, "Second Miss has been worried about the eldest lady these days, so she will ......."

The eldest lady's eyes were sharp, "It must be that you said something gossip in front of the second lady again, don't you say it quickly, are you waiting for someone to drag it out and kill ......?"

Chu Xiao trembled and said, "It was the slave maid who inadvertently told the second lady that the eighth miss might marry the eldest aunt as a concubine." ”

"Who are you listening to?"

Chu Xiao squeezed out two words for a long time, "Jinxiu." ”

The eldest lady snorted coldly, she had already seen that there was something greasy between these two girls, and sure enough, "I didn't let you talk too much for a long time, and it was just a matter of spreading words in the yard, knowing that your master was thoughtful, you still went to her ear to say." ”

The eldest lady asked again, "Do you know about Jinxiu's brother and sister-in-law?" ”

Chu Xiao hurriedly replied, "I know, last time Jinxiu helped Miss Eight come over to deliver something, and when Miss Second asked, I told me about Jinxiu's family, and Second Miss asked Deacon Cui's family to help arrange an errand for Jinxiu's brother and sister-in-law, and Second Miss also did it in pity for Jinxiu." ”

The eldest lady said, "Why don't you tell me about this?" "Yaohua is doing these things behind her back, is there something she can't do? Especially after Shuhua got married, only Yaohua was left in the house who was born to her, and the relationship between the two of them became closer and closer. Coupled with Yaohua's illness, how can a mother not feel distressed, and the more care she departs, the more she cares about it.

But recently, the eldest lady gradually felt that Yaohua was interfering in more things, and Shuhua had to go to Yaohua every time she entered the house, and some ideas were clearly not something that Shuhua could come up with.

Shuhua and Yaohua are two sisters, so she shouldn't have anything in her heart. I don't know why, she just doesn't feel at ease. So with the words of the imperial doctor, she didn't allow anyone in the house to say anything in front of Yaohua, firstly, she really let Yaohua recuperate, and secondly, she didn't want Yaohua to interfere in some things.

The eldest lady hadn't finished the trial yet, and Yaqin outside came in and said, "The jade in the second miss's house is concerned, and the second miss's illness is getting tighter again." ”

The eldest lady stood up suddenly, and the doubts about Yaohua just now suddenly ran away, leaving only a heart full of worries, and called everyone, "Let's go, go and see." ”

********************************

Today I went out to the grave and ran all morning.

Sure enough, my leg hurt at night.

What is depressing is that I met a scavenger, and now the scavenger even collects the paper money put by others.

Just take the tribute, how can it be like this, and what is the use of the money he takes back?
