Mrs. Yu handed the medicine bowl to Wufu, frowned slightly, and Ruyi next to her immediately sent water for her to rinse her mouth, she rinsed it three times, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief smoked with lily incense, and then waved her hand lightly to let the girls go down. Before leaving, Shuangxi tucked the quilt for her, and Jixiang put the red nine seeds full of refined candied fruits on the plum blossom table next to the long couch for her to use, she only glanced at it, and then leaned back, not at all interested in eating.

Duan Shi respectfully sat on the embroidered pier next to the couch and said softly: "The old lady thinks the medicine is unpalatable? Although the medicine is bitter, but anyone who has drunk the bitter juice for so long will be bored, and the daughter-in-law will tell the old lady Wang and ask him to change the prescription to be more delicious, right? ”

Old Madam Yu shook her head: "How can this be true?" What kind of character is Mrs. Wang? The first emperor and the queen mother had to use the people, the emperor asked him to return to his hometown to raise himself, and the people who were a little less decent did not move him. But for the sake of my own illness, I let him run around for three days and two ends, and it was spread out, and people will say that my wife is big, do you still want to bother the old lady doctor with this little thing? She glanced at her second daughter-in-law, although her words were stern, her eyes were warm, "I know you are filial, but after all, you are still younger and not thoughtful." ”

Duan meekly admitted his mistake, and said: "That daughter-in-law asked people to find some rare and delicious candied fruit, I heard that the fifteenth brother and sister in the ninth room have a good recipe, and the daughter-in-law asked the fifteenth brother and sister?" ”

Old Madam Yu sighed: "It's good that you have this filial piety, your fifteenth brother and sister's mother's family is holding a funeral, how can you bother them with such a trivial matter?" Besides, these foods all taste the same, but there are secret recipes, and I am impatient to try them. At night, when the kitchen was boiling fine porridge, I asked them to bring some flavorful pickles, and the porridge and porridge were so light that my tongue could not taste it. ”

Duan Shi responded, and said with a smile: "Although the pickles have a taste, they may not match the medicine that the old lady takes, so the old lady should eat less." In fact, it would be good to endure for a few more days, and the old lady Wang said that the old lady is recovering well, as long as everything is relaxed, there is no need to take medicine again in August. ”

Old Madam Yu sighed and fell silent, Duan knew that she must have remembered the person who made her sick, so she didn't say anything, just quietly called Yahuan to come in and whispered an order. When only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in the room again, Duan saw that she was still pondering, so he slowly persuaded: "Count the days, the sixth girl and the little seven should have already arrived in the capital, I don't know if the eldest brother and sister-in-law will blame the sixth girl?" They must be very worried when they know that the old lady is sick, right? ”

This is exactly what Mrs. Yu is thinking: "Isn't it? Although I was angry at what the six girls did, but in the end it was my own granddaughter, when she was in front of me, I hated her so much that I didn't want to see her, but as soon as she left, I was worried about her, afraid that she would be wronged in front of her parents. On the day the child left for Beijing, what did the second child write in the letter? Have you ever said something serious? ”

"Don't worry, the old lady has always been measured, and besides, he has always hurt the six girls the most, how can he talk too seriously?" The disapproval on Duan's face flashed, and he still looked gentle and virtuous, "However, this kind of thing can't be hidden from the eldest brother and sister-in-law, no matter how distressed the old lady is, she must let the six girls know the rules, otherwise it will not hurt her, but hurt her." ”

Old Madam Yu nodded: "That's the truth." It turned out that I was old, and I was confused for a while, thinking that her parents were like that, and she was good-looking, good at poetry and painting, and likable in Beijing, and she would have great edification in the future, and she couldn't compare with other girls in the clan, even if she was a little arrogant, it was harmless. Who would have thought that this would spoil the child and make her lose all the rules and etiquette? and Xiao Qi too, although there is no shortage of etiquette, it is not close to the brothers and sisters of the same family. It's all because of my poor upbringing, and I'm really embarrassed to meet their parents. ”

Duan smiled: "The old lady is too worried, you are an elder, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are only filial to you, how can I blame you?" Six girls and little seven have always been well-behaved in front of you, how do you know what they are like in private? At the end of the day, it's the people around them who are not good. Otherwise, the same is a child who grew up under your teaching, the five girls are all filial piety and etiquette, how can the six girls and Xiao Qi, the two smart people, be not good? ”

Old Madam Yu immediately straightened up when she heard this: "This is reasonable!" Not to mention the five girls, even if they are children who grew up in the clan, they don't have such a headache! Xiao Qi is okay, but she is young and ignorant, and the six girls will be confused, and it must be because the people around her are not teaching well! You will write to Beijing tomorrow! Tell your sister-in-law that you must carefully check the people around the six girls one by one, and if there is anything wrong, they will all be replaced! Just say it's my words! If the next time I see the six girls, she is still like that, my old woman will go to Beijing to question them in person! ”

Duan hurriedly responded, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Old lady, don't be angry, your body is going to be healed, if you are angry again, if there is a case, the daughter-in-law will be guilty of ten thousand deaths!" ”

Old Madam Yu glanced at her with disgust: "What is dead or alive?" Are you still pregnant, and you don't speak carefully? What does this have to do with you, sit back! ”

Duan responded with a smile, returned to his seat, and said respectfully: "It's the daughter-in-law who said the wrong thing, but you still have to relax in everything." ”

"It's hard for you, be so cautious, I know you are the most filial." Mrs. Yu looked outside the door, "The second child is not at home when he sees the sky, and he knows that his wife is pregnant, but he only cares about eating and drinking with people outside!" ”

Duan smiled and said: "The master is serious and socializing with people outside, and recently he has been in contact with a gentleman under the prefect's curtain, and he has gained a lot of knowledge. This is the right thing, much better than him writing poems and painting at home, and besides, the affairs of the family are all managed by the inner courtyard, so what does it look like to ask the master to take care of it? ”

"So that's it?" Old Madam Yu was overjoyed, "Since it's a serious matter, don't stop him!" It was all his brother's negligence, otherwise, with his brother's more than 20 years of experience as an official, what could he not learn? Do you want to ask for a master?! I was secretly a little dissatisfied with my eldest son, and when I looked at my second daughter-in-law, my eyes softened, "The second child can be so motivated, your persuasion is indispensable, with a good wife like you, what else will the second child worry about in the future?" I'm finally relieved. ”

Duan blushed and bowed his head and said: "The daughter-in-law still has many shortcomings, I dare not accept the praise of the old lady, and I will ask the old lady to teach the daughter-in-law too much in the future." When Mrs. Yu heard this, she was even happier in her heart.

Wufu walked in softly from outside the door, and said outside the round light mask: "The old lady, the second wife, and the fifth lady are here, saying that they want to say hello to the old lady." ”

Old Madam Yu frowned, leaned lazily on the satin embroidered pillow, and said to Duan: "Ask someone to send her, you don't have to go to see her, you already have a body, and you have to be busy with housework, and then worry about these things that are ushered in, how can your body be able to bear it?" ”

Duan Shi responded in a low voice, turned back to Wufu and said: "Go and talk to Miss Five, let her talk to Mrs. Five, and say that the old lady has rested, and I am waiting in front of me, I can't get out, please come back when they are free." ”

Wufu looked at Mrs. Yu's reaction, and saw that she didn't object, so he retreated. Duan Shi stared at her back, then turned around and smiled: "The fifth girl is also old, and the female gentleman who studied also said that she is among the girls, whether it is knowledge, female popularity or etiquette, she is top-notch, so it is good to let her have more experience." ”

"You are her mother, and the upbringing will be left to you." Old Madam Yu rubbed the corners of her forehead carelessly, "Didn't you say hello in the clan a long time ago, I want to recuperate, and I don't have to come to greet each room?" Why are there still people coming? When Lao Jiu's family came over yesterday, did they still ask you about the cause of my illness? ”

Duan smiled and said, "The younger brothers and sisters are just worried about the old lady's body, don't worry about it." The daughter-in-law had already told them that the old lady was guilty of autumn fatigue, and it was not a serious illness, and she just needed to recuperate. It's just that the rumors outside are not so easy to suppress, and there are many people in the family......"

Old Madam Yu frowned: "Rumors?!" It was passed out from home?! Didn't it come from the sixth room?! ”

"That's not true, the sixth room is silent, except for the second room who knows some clues, everyone else only knows that the nine girls have been here that day."

Old Madam Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Neither of their ancestors and grandchildren like to chew their tongues, and their character is also good, so they must not gossip behind their backs." After saying that, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, "Even if the family is talking nonsense, you should rectify it, don't let that slave ruin the reputation of the six girls!" ”

"Yes!" Duan's solemn response, quietly observed his mother-in-law's expression, and chatted a few words with him before leaving Xuanyuan.

Back in the Zhiyuan where their husband and wife lived, the big girl Yufei greeted her, helped her into the door and sat down, and whispered while pouring tea: "The rough girl Ye Lian in the outer courtyard is looking for a slave and maid on the second gate, saying that her old lady heard something outside, the sixth old lady and Miss Nine seem to be secretly buying land, they don't know whether this matter matters or not, so they specially came to talk to the slave and maid." ”

Duan stopped what he was doing and frowned: "Liufang wants to buy a field property?" Where did they get the money? Where did you buy the land? ”

"I only know that it's not close to Gu Zhuang, as for the silver, didn't I hear that the fifteenth master helped his family sell a few antiques?" Yufei raised her eyes and looked at the Duan family, "This is from their family, I heard that it has something to do with Miss Nine's uncle's family, but I don't know if it was the land given by her uncle's family, or whether her uncle's family helped buy it." Second wife, you see...... Do you want to tell the old lady about this? ”

Duan glanced at her: "Is it necessary to tell the old lady about such a trivial matter?" Whether it is to interact with relatives in the sixth room, or to get money for selling things, it is just a trivial matter to buy property. Which house in the clan has not been purchased? Liufang originally also had a field property, which was not a big deal. You tell that girl, pay more attention to the news of the other rooms when you have time, only the grandparents and grandchildren are left in the sixth room, and they are not child-loving, so you don't need to bother to understand. ”

Jade Fly was hit with a soft nail, and her face was a little sneering: "Yes...... The slave is really just worried...... The sixth old lady has been saving people and buying property recently, if she has a dependence, I don't know if she will ignore the dignity of our family and talk nonsense outside? Recently, there are many people who want to inquire about the old lady's condition, in case any of the ladies and grandmothers remember that Miss Nine has been here......"

Duan looked at her with a smile: "So what?" You don't think anyone outside of you know?! What kind of heart do you? If you're really worried, how about I'll transfer you to Rongyuan tomorrow? ”

Rongyuan is the courtyard where the sixth lady Wenhui used to live, and now that there is no owner, the girls and mothers-in-law who are waiting in it have nothing to rely on, but they are only temporarily receiving the monthly money, and they will be cut out at some time. Jade Fly was frightened by the hostess's words, and she didn't dare to say more.

Another big girl, Jade Moth, glanced at her contemptuously: She didn't even understand her master's thoughts, and she dared to rush up?! You deserve to be eaten! She gently placed the Jianlian red date tea in her hand in front of Duan's and said, "Second wife, this is newly boiled just now, only a little brown sugar is put in, can you try it to suit the taste?" ”

Duan nodded and took a small sip: "It's okay, it's better to stay up longer." On the side of the sixth room, because the old lady was sick before, the soldiers were in chaos, and they didn't care about making apologies, which was really neglectful. If you prepare a gift tomorrow, you will add two percent according to the example of the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony in previous years, and personally bring someone to Xuanhe Hall, and be sure to have a thorough ceremony! ”

The jade moth was stunned, rolled her eyes, and responded with a smile. Yufei was confused when she heard it, and couldn't help but remind: "Second wife, starting tomorrow, I will send the Mid-Autumn Festival gift for the second room first, and the other rooms will be the day after tomorrow, is this too urgent?" Now the village is talking about the old lady's condition, if it makes people suspicious......"

Duan glanced coldly, she immediately shut up, hurriedly lowered her head, and carefully raised her eyes to look at Duan, but saw a gentle spring breeze on Duan's face: "Silly boy, don't I know this reason?" I was worried that the sixth old lady would blame us in her heart, so I thought that it would be better to be more thoughtful than if she was angry in her heart and had a grudge against us in the long house, don't you say? ”

Jade was stunned and speechless.

When the jade moth sent the gift to the sixth room, it alarmed many people in the village. Wen Yi frowned when she heard Aunt Zhang's shouting, and when she came to the front yard, she realized that it was Changfang who sent a gift to her. She stayed with her grandmother, looking at the things on the gift list, and then at the jade moth's somewhat flattering appearance, which was really confusing. If it's about making amends for the past, it's been too long, right? It's been more than a month! But if it is said that it is for the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is also a bit strange to put the gift order of the six rooms only after the second room. According to the example of previous years, the six rooms have always been very rear, and after that, they are all inconspicuous partial houses. What happened to the long house this year?

It was not only Wen Yi who was puzzled, as soon as the jade moth left, several female relatives came one after another, and even the ninth wife, who had been avoiding before, also came to the door, openly and secretly inquired about what secrets were between the long room and the sixth room, and the fifth wife in the fourth room even let go among the relatives and concubines, and there was no one in the eyes of the second wife who was in charge of the long room.

When Mama Zhao heard that Miss Nine might be related to the illness of the old lady Yu of Changfang, the old lady Lu immediately darkened her face and immediately decided: "The Nie family sent a letter, saying that the land has been bought." Before the autumn planting, let's go over and have a look! Let's see what to do with that piece of land! ”
