Chapter 7: Thoughts

"The length is just right." Shi Niang looked at it carefully for a long time, "Then I'll go back first - my mother rewarded me with amber today, and I haven't seen anyone yet, and I don't know what's going on in the house." I'll have to go back and see. When the network is ready, I'll ask Holly to bring it to you. ”

The eldest aunt didn't keep her, but nodded with a smile and sent her out.

The second aunt said a word lukewarmly when she stepped out of the threshold with one foot.

"It's strange to say. The eldest lady of our family gave birth to Brother Zhen is a son-in-law, and now he is four years old, but he is not a son yet. Could it be that our eldest aunt still can't learn that day, and pay attention to the elders and not the young, and the virtuous and not the ......?"

Eleven Niang's footsteps were sluggish.

At this time, Wu Niang had returned to Jiaoyuan and was talking to Forsythia.

“…… The eldest lady said that the wild mushroom and wild pigeon soup was well done, and she heard that the fourth master had not eaten well in the past two days, so she asked the slave maid to send it to the fourth master. ”

Wu Niang smiled: "Then my fourth brother can eat well?" ”

Forsythia smiled: "The eldest lady sent it, so it naturally tastes good." ”

Wu Niang sighed: "There are no considerate people around my fourth brother...... If there was a person like Sister Forsythia who knew the heat and the cold, he wouldn't be so uncomfortable for three days! As he spoke, he gently put the honey-stained plum in his hand into his mouth.

Forsythia listened to a wild beat in her heart.

It is not easy to go from a third-class maid to a personal servant girl by the side of the eldest wife. She didn't want to be married like this, and then gave birth to a son to continue to be a servant, and gave birth to a daughter and then went to be a maid...... But there are several masters in the house, and there are people around the uncle who have served since childhood, not to mention that the eldest and youngest grandmothers brought four more after entering the door; The second master died early; The third master is the sister-in-law of the second room, and it is not their turn to be courteous in the big room; The fifth and sixth masters of the three rooms, one is eight years old and the other is five years old. There is only the fourth master, although he is a concubine, but the eldest wife wants face, and when the time comes, the family will be divided, and the fourth master will be more or less divided. Moreover, the fourth master has a gentle personality and is very considerate to the sisters around him, and once made rouge to the big girl in his room...... If you want to talk about the appearance and conduct of this maid in the Manchurian house, she thinks that the holly in Miss Eleven's house is not comparable, is it better than the ugly eight monsters with sparse eyebrows in Shangdijin?

She couldn't help but blush with excitement.

The fourth master and her sister Miss Fifth are the best, and she has been walking diligently at Miss Fifth in the past two years, just so that Miss Fifth can help plan and plan when the time comes...... Unexpectedly, Miss Fifth was relieved today.

"Where can I compare to Sister Dijin," Forsythia looked at Wu Niang with a pair of big watery eyes without blinking, as if she wanted to see something from her expression, "The fourth master has her by her side, what else is there to worry about the fifth lady?" ”

The corners of Wu Niang's mouth were slightly twitching, as if she didn't know how to say something good.

Ziyuan on the side "coughed" lightly, and pointed to the teacup in Forsythia's hand: "Sister Forsythia drink and see, it's the big red robe rewarded by the eldest lady." ”

Wu Niang listened to Ziyuan's cough, her face changed, and she didn't mention the matter of the fourth master, but followed Ziyuan and said, "How about Sister Forsythia taste this tea?" ”

Forsythia was annoyed in her heart, and secretly blamed Ziyuan for being troubled - Miss Fifth was already a little embarrassed, and if she interrupted again, Miss Five would definitely not mention the matter of the fourth master again...... Such a good opportunity, but it made the asters yellow. If it weren't for the fact that she was the eldest girl next to Miss Five, and she was the same age as Miss Five, she would definitely follow Miss Five to her husband's house in the future, she really doubted that Ziyuan would have the same idea as herself. However, this is also possible. The eldest lady said that she loved Miss Five the most, but if she really loved her, the old lady should quickly find a mother-in-law for Miss Wu who had already reached the end of her illness, so as not to expire the three-year filial piety period, and the eighteen-year-old Miss Five would become an old girl...... From this point of view, the eldest lady may not really treat Miss Five as her own child. If you can think of it, Aster should be able to think of it too. Rather than following Miss Fifth and not knowing whether to marry a lame person or a numb person, it is better to make plans early and follow the fourth master.

The thought flashed, and Forsythia couldn't help but turn from resentment to hatred towards Aster.

If Shion really had this kind of thought, today would not be the time to speak.

Thinking that he still had an errand to do, if the eldest lady asked, she hadn't gone back yet, and thought that she stayed with the fourth master, whether it was beautiful or not.

She exchanged a few words with Wu Niang, then stood up and said goodbye: "...... Lest the eldest lady find no one! ”

Wu Niang personally sent her to the door of the room: "Sister Forsythia has something, I won't delay." Later, when we have free time, we will sit together. ”

Forsythia said a few polite words, and there was a faint crying sound not far away.

She couldn't help but be stunned when she listened.

Zi Yuan smiled and said, "It's Sister Ziwei who is teaching the new little maid a lesson." Somehow, people nowadays are not like us, and my sisters want to mention a little bit, and they don't dare to forget it when they remember it immediately. Now it's good, if the tofu falls into the ash pond, you can't shoot it, you can't beat it, you can't beat it. A person who is not good and seeks death and life really does not know how to discipline it. "It's a sigh.

"Who's to say it's not." Forsythia was relieved, smiled and walked out with Ziyuan, "You don't know, the new Shuanghe in our house actually quarreled with Yao's mother...... We can't even think about it when we leave it. Speaking of which, in the past two years, Xu's mother has gradually become less and less like before, and the new recruits have become more and more rude. Once the eldest grandmother said that Mother Xu is old, and she is not as good at training people as before. ”

"After all, my sister is an errand boy in the eldest lady's house, and her knowledge is extraordinary." Zi Yuan smiled, "It's not like us, when I see Mother Xu, my whole body is weak, where do I still pay attention to these ......"

As the two spoke, Aster sent Forsythia out of the sedan garden.

Wu Niang's side has called Ziwei to go.

“…… You are the big girl in my house, those little ones are disobedient, and they should be taught a lesson. It's just that this place is close to the main house, and Qiu Ling has been sent out because of illness, if there is another bad one, the eldest lady asks, and we can't talk back. What's more, her brother is still working as an errand in the accounting room. ”

"Miss is taught." Ziwei's attitude was deferential, "It's the slave who didn't think it through." However, it was only a few slaps. Send someone to watch these days, she won't run out and talk nonsense. ”

Wu Niang nodded, explained a few more words, and let Ziwei retreat.

After a while, Shion turned back.

told Wu Niang what Forsythia and her said: "...... It seems that the young grandmother is not very satisfied with Mother Xu. "I thought of Forsythia's restless eyes again." Fifth Miss, are you really going to let Forsythia serve the fourth master? She made tea for Wu Niang again and brought it to her, "Her personality is so strong, and she has served by the eldest lady's side, and she went to the fourth master's house, but I am afraid that it will be ......."

"When did I say that I let her go to the fourth master's house." Wu Niang took a sip of tea, her slow and logical appearance looked like a big lady, but she didn't know, "Besides, she is a person in the big lady's house, and she is the master, and there is no reason to arrange her, let alone me." ”

Knowing that Wu Niang didn't mean to ask forsythia to come over, Ziyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The fifth lady can really rely on the only one who is the fourth master. It's just that the fourth master is a person with soft ears, and people like Forsythia go, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to their Jiaoyuan......

Wu Niang thought about another matter, and hesitated: "You say, what do you mean by forsythia?" ”

Zi Yuan thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Is it the body of the eldest lady...... That's why the eldest lady sent Mother Xu to Ci'an Temple...... Print the Lotus Sutra again! ”

"That's how it should be!" Wu Niang groaned, "My father has been gone for more than a month, and there is a letter so soon, except for the eldest sister, I can't think of anything else." What's more, she has been sick since she gave birth to her brother. If that's the case, then what does the big lady mean? ”

******

Wu Xiao's family put the peeled oranges in a small gold plate with a handkerchief, and took a slender silver pick to remove those white oranges as usual, but the eldest lady suddenly waved her hand: "That's it!" I'm older, and I'm not as good as I used to be, so eating some oranges is smooth. He let out a long sigh.

"What are these words, big lady?" Wu Xiao's family brought the small dish to her according to what she said, "You are still young, and grandma still needs your support...... You can't say old at this time. ”

The eldest lady laughed and instructed Luo Qiao behind her: "You all stand down!" ”

Luo Qiao and the others left in response.

Seeing that there was no one in the house, Wu Xiao's family smiled and said, "The two young ladies have a discussion." Seeing the appearance of the screen, Miss Eleven didn't say anything, but Miss Fifth thought that wenge wood with boxwood was not very good. I saw that what Miss Five said made sense, and Miss Eleven also said that for the time being, I wrote the words according to the size first, she embroidered first, and finally made the base and frame of the screen, and it was not too late to change the wood when there was the wood that Miss Five said......"

Before she could finish speaking, the eldest lady had already waved her hand and signaled that she didn't need to say any more: "You only tell me, about the embroidered screen, the two young ladies, who is more sure?" ”

"Naturally, it's Miss Five." Wu Xiao's family smiled, "When I went, there were a bunch of looks on the table of Miss Five, and Miss Eleven was picking it!" ”

"Oh!" The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, "Which one did Miss Eleven pick!" ”

Wu Xiao's family smiled: "Miss Eleven doesn't seem to be able to make up her mind, so let Miss Fifth come to discuss with the eldest lady." ”

"What about Miss Five? Which one is her favorite? ”

"The one with big letters in the middle." Wu Xiao's family smiled, "Say, there are both big characters and small letters, which is the most suitable." ”

There are both big and small characters, which is indeed the most suitable - it is suitable for her to show off how well she writes, right?

The eldest lady sneered in her heart: "It's a pity that the second aunt said that her big characters are not dignified enough." ”

"It's still the eldest lady and the second aunt who have vision." Wu Xiao's family's eyes rolled and said with a smile, "I can't see it." is also the same as Miss Five, look at the big characters in the middle! However, the slave and maid have a companion. ”

"Oh?" The eldest lady looked at Wu Xiao's family with a smile.

Wu Xiao's family's heart jumped.

But when it comes to this, he only bites it to death.

"And Miss Eleven!" She smiled, "The slave can at least pick out a good one, but Miss Eleven looks at everything." ”
