There is a type of person in this world who has an innate ability to break the harmonious atmosphere, and it is still unintentionally - for example, the second lady of the Patriotic Mansion, Rich.

In the main hall, everyone saluted and sat down in turn, the eldest princess still only cared about gossiping with her grandson and granddaughter who had not seen her for several years, and was concerned about whether she was going well along the way, whether she felt tired, and the food, clothing, housing, transportation, and academic details in Qiongzhou over the years, temporarily left Su Yi and his wife aside.

Su Yi suddenly remembered something, and said to the Huang family: "Because I met a folk doctor in Qiongzhou, named Jiang Qinggu, who is good at treating incurable diseases, because his ancestor was also a medical officer in the former dynasty, after I persuaded him, he became a member of the government, and this time he entered Beijing together, I thought about the formal recommendation when the face of the saint reported on his work, Mr. Jiang did not have a place to settle in Beijing, so I took the initiative to temporarily settle their father and daughter at home, although I had already confessed to Song Hui earlier, and asked my sister-in-law to take care of one or two. ”

Everyone present, except for the eldest princess and Yijing, did not expect that Su Yi would recommend a doctor to enter the palace, and the little ladies listened casually, but Huang felt a little surprised, but there was no doubt, only heard that Mr. had a daughter with him, thinking of the inconvenience of living in the outer courtyard, he proposed to invite the Jiang lady into the inner house to settle, but Xu said with a smile: "Miss Jiang has been traveling with her father in the mountains and wilderness since she was a child, and her temperament is a little withdrawn, and she is not good at socializing. Fang is a little familiar, if it is placed in the inner house, I am afraid that she will find it inconvenient, and the sister-in-law only needs to arrange a maid to accompany her, but there is no need to waste Zhou Zhang. ”

When Yijing heard this, although he was a little uneasy in his heart, he thought that he had never heard of such a girl in Qinggu in his previous life, and he only thought that he had not paid attention.

This little episode was about to pass, but Ritchell suddenly said: "The Queen Mother is ill, and the Holy Decree to seek a doctor is a matter after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the third brother was able to find a doctor from Qiongzhou early, could it be that he expected the Queen Mother to have such an illness early in the morning?" ”

In fact, Ritchie didn't mean to question it, but it was just a casual remark, but this was a bit ambiguous, as if Su Yiba wanted the Queen Mother to be ill.

Everyone expressed their helplessness about Ritchie's unintentionality, and Siniang was especially glad - fortunately, her father was not present, otherwise she would have been afraid of another dispute with her mother afterwards.

Su Yi knew the temperament of the second sister-in-law of his family, so he naturally wouldn't mind, and explained with a pleasant face: "I decided to persuade Mr. Jiang to enter Beijing, originally not because of the will of the saint, but seeing his outstanding medical skills, it was a pity to think that he was buried in the mountains and wilderness, so I had the idea of recommending. ”

Ritchie "suddenly realized" and said "I see".

The harmonious atmosphere in the main hall was restored after this small "twist and turn".

I didn't want Ritchie to turn his eyes, and when he saw the maid behind Xu's Suiyue, she had already combed the woman's hair in a bun, and blurted out again: "Mother, look, Yuyue is getting more and more beautiful, look at this situation, we have to call her an aunt, right?" ”

The eldest princess was originally one of the most useful maids around the eldest princess, but when Su Yi was released, the eldest princess couldn't rest assured, so she arranged the most stable and capable appointment to the Xu family, and went to the South China Sea together.

Compared with the unintentional just now, Ritchie's sentence is more or less a bit of schadenfreude.

It turned out that since she fought before, she had been red with the third master's single-mindedness towards the Xu family, not to mention the concubine room, and there was not even a maid in the room. Xu just laughed after hearing this, and still did not have the "consciousness" of taking a concubine for the third master, which made Li jealous.

Right now, seeing the woman dressed up, Li only thought that the third master had "opened his mind" - he was still a man, and he was not married to a princess, how could he only live with a wife - this person who was next to his mother-in-law was afraid that even the Xu family would not dare to dictate to her, and there might be a good show in the three rooms in the future.

Ritchie was in a "balanced" mindset, and he didn't even notice the flushed face of the swelling of the covenant.

The atmosphere in the main hall was completely stalemate with the eldest princess's eyebrows.

Xu sighed secretly - the second sister-in-law really hasn't changed, and she is still as "straightforward and fast-talking" as before, in front of all the little ladies, she shouldn't say it, thought about it, and said euphemistically: "Second sister-in-law, now she is already a mother, her eldest son should be old at the end of the year, born with a tiger head, very interesting, Mama Hu is so happy that she can't close her mouth, and she praises her eldest grandson when she meets people." ”

Li's smile froze, Ren is not good at those twists and turns, and also understood the meaning of Xu's words, and learned that Yu Yue turned out to be a daughter-in-law for the third grandmother's nursing mother, not as she thought, and her heart immediately swelled with thousands of unwillingness, less envy and more jealousy, covered the corners of her mouth, and pretended to smile: "My brother and sister are still as they were at the beginning, and they are very decisive, but it is a pity that my mother has a heart." ”

The provocative meaning of these words was very obvious, and even the five-year-old Shiro felt the hostility emanating from the second aunt, leaning on the arms of the eldest princess, and looking at his mother with some concern.

The eldest princess Na Lishi was really helpless, and in front of the juniors, she couldn't reprimand, so she only glanced at her coldly, but said with a smile to Youyue: "Good girl, she is a blessed person, and if you have leisure another day, bring your eldest man in and show me it, and let me be happy." ”

Because of Ritchie's words, the atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat strange, and the eldest princess let go of Qi Niang and San Lang, and asked Su Lian to lead the juniors to the back court to have fun, only asking about Su Yi's official business in Qiongzhou, completely ignoring Ritchie's existence.

Wong watched from the sidelines, and playfully offered to stare at the big kitchen to prepare lunch, and pulled Ritchhee away.

It is also said that Qi Niang Yilan, when she left Kyoto, she was only seven years old, but because of her temperament is the most hearty, she got along very well with her sisters, and this time she reunited with her sisters, and it became "the stars and the moon", in the corridor, seven golden flowers surrounded Qi Niang in the center, first asked about what she saw on the way, and was curious about the scenery of the South China Sea.

"I read a travelogue from the previous dynasty that said that the sea water was 'blue and inclined', is that really the case?" Yi Jing was the most compatible with Qi Niang back then, and now she was close to her side, and asked with a smile.

Although the daughters of the boudoir in Dalong have the opportunity to go out, the opportunity to travel far away is still rare, there is no sea in Kyoto, and the little ladies really can't imagine such a magnificent scenery.

Compared with three years ago, although Qi Niang is much taller, but there is still childishness between her eyebrows, a pair of crescent-like eyes, bending a smile from the heart, at this time frequently bowing her head, but much more excited than her sisters: "If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I only thought that the so-called 'endless sight' was an exaggeration, and I doubted the color of the seawater, which may not be really a blue jewel. ”

Qi Niang talked about the scenery of the South China Sea, and Qiongzhou saw and heard, not only let a group of little ladies listen to it with relish, even the maids on the side couldn't help but surround the front, when they heard that the fishermen went out to sea and witnessed the big fish like a hill, their eyes widened, and they were so surprised that they inhaled again and again.

"I'm afraid it can't be taken seriously, if there is really such a big fish, not even the people with the boat swallowed and swallowed, and the fishermen will still have their lives to return?" Erniang took the lead in expressing doubts.

Yijing said: ""Ancient and Modern Notes" contains, there are fish in the sea for whales, the big ones are thousands of miles long, the small ones are dozens of zhang, the fishermen should be whales who witnessed them, and there are also records in the previous dynasty, saying that ambergris is derived from the sea, it is said that it is the saliva of the sea dragon, and some people speculate that it is the saliva of the giant whale, and it is not easy to say. ”

"The fifth sister is really knowledgeable, I also heard A-Niang talk about the name of 'whale', and local fishermen also said that a hundred years ago, the ancestors had witnessed seven whale corpses on the coast, which shows that the rumors are not true, but unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to witness them." Qi Niang sighed regretfully.

Liu Niang was concerned about other things, and couldn't wait to interrupt the topic about the giant whale: "Seventh sister, are the Japanese in the South China Sea really so rampant and ferocious?" ”

Speaking of this, Qi Niang smiled, and her two delicate eyebrows were tied into a delicate knot: "Those pirates, really do no evil, if the merchant ship meets them at sea, it will inevitably die for life, not only that, but also often land to rob and kill fishermen, the South China Sea is a government and three states, the people are innumerable, the number of officers and soldiers in the yamen is limited, and it is really a little impossible to prevent, my father encouraged the coastal people to practice martial arts to defend themselves, and spontaneously organized the guards to patrol the night. However, over the years, it was still impossible to put an end to the rebellion of the Japanese bandits, and deaths and injuries often occurred. ”

He also spoke eloquently about the cruel methods of the Japanese invaders, such as abducting children to cook and dissecting people's hearts.

Most people were terrified and couldn't bear to sigh.

Only Erniang once again exerted her "questioning" nature, and said with a little ridicule: "Has the seventh sister witnessed such a tragic scene with her own eyes? It's like the truth. ”

Qi Niang didn't care, and didn't care about Er Niang, just said: "As a boudoir woman, trapped in the government and not free, I naturally have never witnessed the woe disaster, if the sisters are curious, you can ask the maid next to me, her relatives were killed in the disaster, and she is the only one left alone." ”

Only then did the little ladies pay attention to the fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid standing behind Qi Niang, but seeing that she was tall and tall, with a slightly dark complexion, standing in the middle of a crowd of warblers and swallows, her face was gloomy and half inconspicuous.

It turned out that this maid's name was called Shark Zhu, she was a coastal fisherman, and her family and blood relatives died in the rebellion that caused the wrath of the Son of Heaven three years ago, she was also a little bloody, in order to avenge her family, she actually wanted to disguise herself as a man to sign up for the army, of course, she was detected, and failed to do so, but it became a "rare thing" in the local area, Su Yi took office as the prefect of Qiongzhou, heard about it, and took pity on the orphan girl, and sheltered her in the mansion.

Although Shark Zhu is Qi Niang's maid, but did not sell herself as a slave, this time Su Yi returned to Beijing, Xu asked Shark Zhu's opinion, if she wanted, she could choose a family affair for her in Qiongzhou, and she would have relied on it in the future, but Shark Zhu said that it was difficult to give up Qi Niang, and she was willing to go into Beijing with her to repay Su Yi's family for their kindness.

Mention the word "Wokou", Shark Zhu has gritted his teeth, without waiting for the little ladies to ask, he blurted out the tragedy he witnessed with his own eyes, and the broken intestines almost wanted to cry, and he was angry when he was angry.

"I can't hate to be a man and fight the enemy." Shark Zhu gritted her teeth and hated in the end.

All the girls bowed their heads in unison, and suddenly heard Saburo, who was playing in a circle with Shiro outside the corridor, asked in a crisp voice, "Who do the sisters want to kill?" ”

Zhumei suddenly laughed.
