The Cao family told the aunt about seeing the eunuch Xiao Yinzi in the old mansion in the south of the city, and also told the second master about the purchase of real estate outside the house.

The key point: Xiao Yinzi said that Concubine Rong swept the toilet during the Kandi period! hints that something has happened in the Yuanfei Palace.

Aunt Mi is a person with ink knowledge, after hearing this, she was shocked, and said with panic in her mouth: "That's amazing, Kandi's Concubine Rong has been demoted, how harsh the punishment is!" Our concubine won't fall like this, right? If that is the case, how can the old lady not know? The old lady has often entered the palace this year, and she is intimate with the Queen Mother. Do you remember last year's Chongyang Festival? ”

Cao Shi said "bah" and said: "I remember that I died to the eighteenth layer of hell, and I remember that my soul is scattered!" Didn't the second master have to accept the day in the bamboo garden? The old lady went to the palace to accompany the queen mother to climb the heights, September 9. ”

Speaking of the old lady going to the palace to accompany the queen mother, Cao suddenly woke up: "That's not right!" This queen mother is so good to our old lady, and Concubine Yuan is our old lady's own granddaughter. There are two layers of relationship. Most of the time the dead eunuch intimidated us with nonsense and tongue for a few taels of silver! ”

Aunt Mi nodded, but she was still surprised: "We are relieved to think about it in this way." But do you know that these people in the palace, if there is no shadow, he dares to be so rebellious? It's just that I'm confused, if Concubine Yuan is like that in the palace, something must have happened. The old lady Qianqiu, the aunt's family said they were coming, but they didn't come that day. If you think about it, what didn't happen that day, right? I'm confused again, the old lady Qianqiu night, the Lord and the Queen Mother came to reward, and a few days later, they also rewarded blood coral! ”

Cao Shi said coldly: "It's not, if you don't go to the palace to receive the reward, how can you meet those thieves who are begging for your life, how can there be the one in the fence bamboo garden?" How can there be a Xifu ......?"

The Cao family still wants to complain about Yu Qi! When the words came to his mouth, he felt that something was wrong with what he said to his aunt, and swallowed it back raw.

The aunt also knows Cao's temperament, and feels that she has been in conflict with the second master for many years, and the gap is getting wider and wider. However, the aunt thought about it deeply, and also felt that the little eunuch might be telling the truth, but now the words of the family are the words of the Cao family's negative anger, which is worth pondering.

Aunt Mi said: "In any case, the sky in the house has not changed, which means that it has nothing to do with us." Perhaps, it was spread randomly. As you said, Mrs., for the sake of those few taels of silver, you will not die with nonsense. ”

Cao said: "You don't know if you don't have a family, when you start a family, you will worry about whether you will eat well and dress warmly, worry about old age and illness for a while, and worry about the future of the house for a while." My heart is more worrying and tiring than the emperor in the palace! You can't see it, and the second master can't see it. ”

Aunt Mi smiled in her heart, in the final analysis, the Cao family cared most about herself, her position in the mansion, and how the second master treated her.

So, my aunt said: "It's been all these years, and my wife is still like this." Relax, the second girl and the third girl are also older, and your future hopes are no less than mine. I'm just a foreign name in the end. Through the belly, no matter how good they are, they can't compare to their mothers after all. I'll be fair, the second girl and the third girl, don't treat them badly, although they are girls, I don't think they are worse than the boys. Stay well, in the future, it will be better than raising a child, why bother to target the second master and use the girls as angry buns! ”

Aunt Mi's words are out of line, she shouldn't say it, but she is a lover, as soon as the words come out, like the water that bursts the embankment, the emotions flow wantonly, and she can't be suppressed, she hasn't had a good time these years, and she owes it in her heart. Now that I'm done, my heart is relieved!

Seeing that Aunt Yi said this, Cao Shi felt a little pity for her, so he comforted: "You are different from me, your temperament is better than mine, the fourth master treats you well, and the old lady treats you even better." Look at Mrs. Xifu, the county lord, you are also impressed. No matter how bad you are, you are better off than me! ”

As he spoke, Cao's eyes turned red again.

The aunt sighed a few times and said, "Talking about the affairs of the aunt's family, why did you pull us here." Madam, let's be relieved. I'll help you stabilize the second girl, and after today, when you're in a better mood, I'll say a few nice words to her. She is also stubborn. You're all right, so it's not in vain that I'm going to run alone! ”

After speaking, the aunt got up to leave. Cao Shi grabbed her, still physically and mentally uneasy, and said, "I said, do you really think it's okay about Concubine Yuan?" Don't we take it seriously? ”

Aunt Yu said: "The eunuch said, if you want to understand, it is better to ask our master." You and I know about this first, hold down and don't show it out, and ask the master to see what the situation is. ”

Cao sighed angrily: "I just asked!" What did he say? When I came back from Xifu last night, I asked on the way, I said why didn't my aunt's family come to our house, did something happen? The old man split his head and covered his face, bluffed me, saying that I didn't have a long tongue. I said, it was said by the eunuch in the palace, Concubine Yuan went to sweep the toilet! People say that the old man should know. When the master heard this, he dragged me back from the road and scolded me with vicious words, you don't know......"

Cao cried like a tearful man.

My aunt was originally leaving, but it was difficult to move at the moment, so she stayed to comfort her and listen to her complains. I talked about how to tell the old man on the first night, how to be scolded by the old man, how the two of them quarreled because of this, how the second master prevented her from going out to let the old lady know, and set up an argument with her in the house to restrain her.

First of all, the aunt didn't believe in Concubine Yuan's affairs, and when she heard the Cao family talk about the conflict between the first night and the second master, she was a little suspicious. At the moment, the aunt didn't make a sound, just a listener to relieve Cao's mood. After Cao's mind calmed down, the aunt said goodbye. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Cao: "Everything is for the children, for the family, my wife must stabilize her tongue." I know that my wife is wholeheartedly devoted to the house, but some people don't think so, and it's not good to take the opportunity to make another scene. Don't let the second master think that you are unreasonable, now that you are really looking for the second master, don't you just have a handle? said that you took the opportunity to target the fence bamboo garden, and the trouble continued, but it was really not over, and it was passed on to the old lady, and it was still you who suffered. You know what I'm saying, right? ”

Cao Shi nodded, and said faintly: "Understood! I'm the one who does things solidly, and I'm the one who takes advantage of the bad things. When will the old lady understand! ”

Aunt Mi knew that the Cao family had listened to her words, and she would probably not make a big move to talk about Concubine Yuan. Therefore, the aunt left quickly, and didn't say much to Zhuang Qian outside, only asked her to go back to the house to rest, and said: "Your wife knows that she is wrong, but her face can't be hung up, and she can't apologize to you." I have a sentence to tell the girl, your wife's heart is bitter! I hope you will understand and tolerate her more. It's your mother. ”

After Zhuang Xuan heard this, he stomped his feet and snorted, turned his head and ran into his house.

The aunt shook her head and beckoned Rui'er and the other girls to rush back to Xifu.

To the West Mansion, face into the Zhuang Ting Na courtyard house.

Outside the hospital, my aunt told Rui'er and the other girls: "Don't talk about going to Beifu." When I went to look for medicine for your third master. ”

Only then did he readjust his mood and look, and the money fell into the hospital. When I got inside, I saw a group of little girls picking mint grass and stinky grass, and chattering about something.

Aunt Mi walked slowly, took a look, and said, "Have you found everything?" ”

He came first to give a gift to his aunt, and replied: "I picked some more, I don't think it's as good as the ones I picked first, and I'm choosing!" After a while, I will take it in and show it to the wife and the old lady. ”

The aunt glanced at her, smiled slightly, and walked towards the house.

When I got inside, I saw the old lady talking to the county lord, about how naughty Zhuang Yu was when he was a child, and when he was talking about laughter, everyone laughed. The aunt didn't dare to disturb lightly, and moved in slowly and quietly in a whisper. Coincidentally, he was seen by the old lady again, and Tete turned to look over.

The old lady asked her aunt: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I wonder if what's wrong with Nanfu, you ran away, and I didn't dare to ask them, so I had to lead some jokes to pass the time." You say, where did you just go? Where did you come from? A look of panic. ”

The aunt took the salute and said embarrassedly: "The old lady's heart is in Xifu, why pretend to be concerned about our Nanfu." We Nanfu are not jealous of this meeting, but have more hearts for this meeting. Please ask the old lady to care about their three masters! His eyes hooked Zhuang Yu who was lying on the bed.

The old lady pointed at her aunt and said, "I like her mouth!" In the future, Pu'er and Ju'er's wives are half as good as hers, and even if I die to the edge of the sky, I will smile and stark. ”

Everyone laughed and laughed.

Zhuang Jue was lying on the bed, at this time, his face was ruddy and good, and he couldn't see any symptoms, but he couldn't get up, but he could still speak. Now, the conversation between the aunt and the old lady caused him to laugh and cough to the extreme.

Seeing Zhuang Jue's cough, the county lord hurriedly beckoned Jiangzhu and Yuping to quickly serve water. Who knows, Jiang Zhu and Yuping didn't move, and they grabbed a handful of mint grass and ran in from outside.

He said nervously: "What's wrong with the master, what's wrong with the master?" ”

Everyone suddenly looked back at the sky, surprised, and surprised.

Zhuang Jue eased his throat, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm fine." ”

The county lord raised his hand and said, "Your heart is running fast, what are you holding in your hand?" "Deliberately glanced at the old lady.

He presented the mint grass and said, "This is the freshly picked mint." He glanced at his aunt and said, "Just now my aunt asked them to pick them, I don't feel at ease, so I followed, I was afraid that they would have big hearts, and they rushed to pick fat and tender, medicine, not as good as the old roots." I am afraid that the soles of their feet will have no eyes, and they will be useless after stepping on them. Now, I have plucked a lot of them. ”

The county lord took it and wanted to see it, but he couldn't stand the smell of mint, so he hurriedly handed it to the beads to hold.

The old lady said: "A girl with a heart, she didn't let people love her in vain." She also knows that herbs can't be plucked from fat and tender! ”

She hung her head shyly, and at that moment she handed the mint back to her. She twisted her body, quickly saluted, and went out.

The old lady said again: "Praise her twice, but now I don't dare to bear it." Again: "I have suffered her for a few days, and I will thank her for more pain in the future." Don't forget to thank the big girl. ”

The county lord said yes again and again.

At that time, everyone cared about what you said I was going, no one went to serve water, Yu Qi was speechless, sitting on the side, and he was also very attentive, and he gave Zisu a look, and Zisu went to serve water. When the water came, he didn't serve it to Zhuang Jue, but only handed it to Yu Yu.

Yu Qi blushed and said angrily: "What do you do for me, give it to the third brother." ”

Zisu was stunned, paused for a moment, and turned his head to Zhuang Yu. Before he arrived, the county lord intercepted it, she took the cup from Zisu's hand, pushed it to Jiangzhu, and said angrily: "Why bother to let you bring it, it will make my Xifu girl lazy even more." ”

The county lord did not allow Zhuang Yu to eat this glass of water, ordered Jiangzhu and Yuping to pour it, and scolded them for not acting consciously enough.

Jiang Zhu and Yuping wondered, glanced at Zisu, and then at Yu Qi, and complained very much.

Zhuang Jue said on the bed: "Madam, give me a drink!" And it's not poisonous. Why bother to work for the two sisters of Jiangzhu and Yuping to go again! ”

The county lord chirped: "Nonsense! ”

The old lady smiled and bent her eyebrows, and only said that it was very time for the county lord to take the opportunity to discipline his subordinates. Zhuang Jue felt that the county lord had given Yu Qi a good face, so he felt guilty.

Aunt Yu took the opportunity to say: "Last year, the brothers entered the palace with the master, and I heard that the saint rewarded two strings of beads respectively, the third young master got the agarwood east bead bracelet, and the second young master got the jade bracelet. Although the beads and jade are valuable, they are not as good as the golden words of the saint, I have heard that the saint praises our third young master for being lively and smart, and he must be pressed quietly by the agarwood to be stable. I don't know if it's true. Now it seems that he is smart and lively, and he is getting better and better, and I don't know if the agarwood Dongzhu rewarded by the saint is not worn on his body. ”

Zhuang Jue said: "Who did my aunt listen to?" Don't let the fourth master tell you, right? ”

The aunt covered her mouth and smiled, pretending to look at the old lady inadvertently.

You must know that Aunt Mi's words are purposeful, but she doesn't want to test whether the old lady knows about Concubine Yuan? borrowed the bracelet to say the saint, borrowed the saint to read Concubine Yuan, borrowed Concubine Yuan to say that Aunt Zhuo's family, she wanted to confirm what Cao said.

After all, the old lady has been in the palace many times, what really happened to Concubine Yuan, she must know and behave.
