"Mama Xu, why is it so late? Any later, the girl won't be able to use her lunch. Qingyue had already come out to look around a few times, and finally saw Mama Xu coming over in a hurry.

Mama Xu wiped her sweat: "The kitchen is much more chaotic than before, saying that it is not Mrs. who is in charge now." ”

"Who's in charge?" Qingyue's eyes widened.

"It was said that a few aunts were in charge together, and several aunts didn't take care of things, so they took over the mess." Mama Xu said.

The two of them entered the house together and set up a meal for Yu Xijiao.

Yu Xijiao looked out the window, knowing that this would be past lunch, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, yesterday she knew that it was impossible for the Qian family to hand over the rights in her hands properly, and now she just wanted to indulge.

However, since Qian let go, she didn't plan to let Qian take it back completely.

After lunch, Yu Xijiao asked, "Mama Xu, how are the other places?" ”

"Girl, there is chaos in other places, and many people in the kitchen who are waiting to get lunch are saying, how can it be such a mess! He also said that today is still the first day, and if it goes on like this, the whole house will be in chaos. ”

Mama Xu had already been told to pay attention to the movements around her.

"Is there any late lunch at Father's?" Yu Xijiao took the tea cup given by Qingyue, took a sip, slowly put it down, and asked thoughtfully.

"Hou Ye's lunch is not messy, and I didn't miss the hour at noon today, I don't care about other things first, I take care of Hou Ye first, but other places are wrong, and the second girl is also wrong a lot, the eldest girl...... The place was still behind the girl, and when the old slave came back, he hadn't sent it over. ”

Early yesterday morning, Yu Xijiao deliberately let Yu Zhuqing go to the family temple in the house to worship, afraid that Yu Zhuqing would also be involved in this kind of thing, so she took advantage of this incident to take the eldest sister out first.

In the past, when she was in the house, the Qian family would also let her go to the family temple from time to time, often for a day, claiming that Yu Zhuqing liked to be quiet, and especially liked to go to the family temple to worship relatives.

Yu Zhuqing has not yet decided to marry, and a large part of the reason should be here, which is naturally the result of the Qian family's vigorous publicity outside.

Yesterday, after the incident, Yu Zhuqing knew that something big had happened, and when she came back in a hurry, Yu Xijiao only smiled and told her that the matter had passed, so that she didn't have to worry, and took her to Qinglanxuan.

During this time, in order to stay out of the matter after the incident, the Qian family was very concerned about the affairs of Qinglanxuan, and it was almost arranged inside, Yu Xijiao asked Yu Zhuqing to go back first, recently her Yaoshui Pavilion may not be clean, and it is best to let the eldest sister go back to Qinglanxuan first.

"Where's Aunt Zhou?" Yu Xijiao looked out the window.

"Usually at this time, Aunt Zhou will come out to breathe, but I don't know how to do it today!" This is the news that Mama Xu specially went to inquire about yesterday.

"Let's go!" Yu Xijiao stood up and let go, and Qingyue hurriedly followed.

Yu Xijiao walked all the way over, and carefully found that many places today looked a little messy, and the mother-in-law in charge of the house loudly scolded Yahuan in the corner, and saw the master and servant coming, and hurriedly stood aside with a smiling face.

In one corner of the garden, there was a four-cornered pavilion, in which sat a young woman, sitting alone with her head bowed, and no one else waiting, leaning against a pillar of a pavilion, as if she was looking at something in her hand.

"That's Aunt Zhou?" Yu Xijiao took a look, since she entered the house, she had not seen this Aunt Zhou, and I heard that this Aunt Zhou had been in poor health, and only occasionally came out for a walk.

"It's Aunt Zhou, the slave maid has seen it from afar before, but there are still people waiting around in the past, why is there only Aunt Zhou alone today."

The latter words Qingyue said to herself, and after finishing speaking, she looked left and right, and she didn't see that there was a ring nearby, which was a little strange.

"Maybe it's something!" Yu Xijiao looked at the small pavilion and walked over slowly.

Aunt Zhou quietly looked at a thin, small fan in her hand in a daze, and when she heard the movement, she reacted and subconsciously raised her head, and saw Yu Xijiao's beautiful eyes.

After being stunned for a moment, Aunt Zhou hurriedly stood up with her hands on the pillar, and subconsciously put her hands back.

"The concubine has seen the three girls!"

"What a beautiful fan, can I take a look?" Yu Xijiao smiled softly and asked quietly.

"It's just...... The concubine's casual paintings in the past were originally very ordinary, and they were afraid of staining the eyes of the third girl. Aunt Zhou hesitated, bit her lip and replied, she looked at the fan in her hand wholeheartedly, but forgot that this was not in the house, and the hand placed behind her did not take it out.

Yu Xijiao looked at Aunt Zhou, who was pale and haggard, Aunt Zhou was not very old, but she looked haggard like this, and the miscarriage should have hit her very hard.

"It seems that I painted a few bamboos, but I didn't expect Aunt Zhou to draw so well." Seeing that she was reluctant, Yu Xijiao didn't force it, and continued to say gently, "But this strength looks very strong, it shouldn't be Aunt Zhou's recent paintings, right?" ”

Aunt Zhou has been ill for a long time, her body is almost withered, and some people in the house even secretly speculate that Aunt Zhou will not live long.

"Concubine...... I used to paint, but now I ...... I'm afraid I won't even be able to hold a paintbrush. Aunt Zhou said, turning her head to the side and coughing in a low voice.

A maid came from outside in a hurry, and when she saw the people in the pavilion, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately recognized that it was Yu Xijiao, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The slave maid has seen the third girl." ”

Yu Xijiao looked at the cloak in Yahuan's hand and smiled slightly: "Let's put it on your aunt first!" ”

Yahuan stood up in response, put the cloak on Aunt Zhou's body, and reached out to support Aunt Zhou.

After Aunt Zhou coughed, she bowed to Yu Xijiao with a smile: "Third girl, the concubine's health is not good, so I won't accompany the third girl." ”

"Aunt Zhou, please take care of yourself." Yu Xijiao smiled and stepped out of the way.

Aunt Zhou held Yahuan's hand and slowly left.

Seeing that Aunt Zhou really left like this, Qingyue unconsciously followed a step, then turned her head to look at Yu Xijiao, and called out in a low voice: "Girl." ”

"Let's check if Aunt Zhou received something yesterday!" Yu Xijiao said thoughtfully.

"What does the girl mean ......" Qingyue was stunned.

"Although Aunt Zhou's health is not very good, it is not so dilapidated that she can no longer be a director, and she can still go out for a walk every day, it should still be okay." Yu Xijiao said slowly.

"But everyone in the house said that Aunt Zhou was dying." Qingyue Road.

Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and looked in the direction where Aunt Zhou went, although she didn't use her hands to probe the pulse, but looking at Aunt Zhou's complexion, it was really not that sick, it was really not that serious, that is, the heart was knotted, but that fan made Yu Xijiao have new ideas.

Aunt Zhou's health was not as bad as she imagined, how could the Qian family be sure that Aunt Zhou would not take over the affairs of the mansion, and after returning from the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, Yu Xijiao found out that only this Aunt Zhou had the ability to manage the internal affairs of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

The Qian family handed over the right to be a housekeeper, just to deal with her father, so why did she think that the affairs of the housekeeper had to fall on her in the end, and there was no second suitable person in this mansion except for her?

In a moment, Yu Xijiao had already confirmed that this fan was not painted by the woman, was it her heart or the Qian family's scheme? This matter needs to be investigated, it is yesterday and today......

Qingyue's movements were fast, and she found out the news not long after she went out.

"Girl, a letter was sent from outside yesterday, saying that it was sent by a relative in Aunt Zhou's hometown." Qingyue came in as soon as she lifted the curtain and reported.

There are still a lot of people who know about this, saying that this letter has been mistaken along the way for a long time, and it was entrusted to a fellow villager of Aunt Zhou, but this fellow villager is a confused, and it was actually sent to the wrong place, and then it was transferred to the wrong place, and then it was sent over yesterday, I heard that Aunt Zhou didn't believe it at first, and then saw the tears of the letter falling, and thanked the person who sent the letter, and confirmed that the letter was hers.

"After the Hou Ye and Mrs. returned home yesterday?" This matched the guess in her heart, Yu Xijiao continued to ask.

"It was from the afternoon to the evening, I heard the people in the house say that Aunt Zhou was very excited, and at first glance it was a letter from the relatives at home, and the house was guessing who it was, and I heard that Aunt Zhou did not have any other close people, otherwise she would not have followed her father into Beijing at the beginning, and in the end her father died and could not bury her father, or the Hou Ye brought people back to the house."

Qingyue said, this matter is very easy to inquire, many people think that Aunt Zhou should have no relatives in her hometown, how can anyone write a letter to make Aunt Zhou so excited.

"Let's go, let's go see Aunt Zhou." Yu Xijiao stood up.

"The girl is still going at this time?" Qingyue was stunned.

"I accidentally dropped a handkerchief given to me by my grandmother, I don't know if Aunt Zhou saw it, so I just went over and asked." Yu Xijiao stood up, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, this matter can't wait, if it really waits for chaos in the mansion, her father can only let the Qian family continue to manage the affairs of the mansion.

Since Qian let go, she would not let her take it back completely.

Aunt Zhou's housekeeping was something she had been thinking about before, and now that this is such a good opportunity, how can she miss it, if she goes late, I'm afraid things will change......

Aunt Zhou looked at the fan in her hand for a long time, and finally her hand fell weakly, and tears fell in strings, if she hadn't followed her father into Beijing at that time, all these things would not have happened, or at that time, she was stronger, and it was unknown to keep her father.

Now, there's no going back!

If her father was still there, she would definitely be able to marry her cousin, but then her father was gone, and in that case, she could only enter the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, at least at that time she was grateful to Xuanping Hou, but now there is only one cousin left, and he has come to the capital, and the cousin said that he will not dislike himself, and no one will hinder him from marrying him.

Just in the capital,Just outside the Xuanping Marquis Mansion,Waiting for me is my cousin who grew up with my childhood sweetheart.,This fan is indeed my cousin's.,When he painted, he also helped him polish the ink.,But at that time, my aunt didn't agree.,My cousin said that only wait for the day of my father's high school.,That's when my aunt agrees to come to the door to propose.。

Can finally ...... She can only be a concubine......

If she was willing to be a concubine, why did she enter Beijing in the first place, she was also a woman from a good family, how could she be willing to be a concubine, not to mention her child, she reached out and touched her belly, tears fell one by one, and she looked in a trance......
