It was a late autumn morning, and the weather was getting colder, and the fallen leaves in the early morning seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of frost, which looked particularly depressed.

Early in the morning, the maids of the Protector's Mansion had to get up, sweep the fallen leaves, and clean the courtyard under the cool autumn rain.

The fallen leaves in the courtyard of Qingyueju have passed overnight, and they are sparsely scattered, and there are already people cleaning the fallen leaves in other places, and there is no one to clean the main courtyard of the eldest lady.

At this time, in Shou'an Hall, Xing's mother got up early, waited for Mrs. Tai, and hurriedly rushed to Qingyueju, walked to the main courtyard, and saw fallen leaves all over the ground.

The eldest lady is getting more and more disagreeable.

In the past, it was protected by the grandfather of the country, and others didn't dare to say anything.

Since the husband and wife have cooled down, although the subordinates are not obvious on the surface, they have not talked much in private.

It reached the ears of the eldest lady, and after a long time, her temper became worse and worse.

Whenever the eldest lady is angry, she will take out the anger of the people in the courtyard.

Now, it has been rumored in the courtyard that Grandpa Guo, who had not returned for many days yesterday, has returned to Qingyue Residence.

It should have been happy, but at night, somehow, the eldest lady fell like crazy and threw things.

Although everyone did not hear the sound of the quarrel, they heard that many people saw the appearance of Grandpa Guo angrily slamming the door away.

Therefore, now the eldest lady is not called a person, even the eldest maid who is serving around her does not dare to disturb easily, for fear of touching the eldest lady's brow and making the eldest lady unhappy.

Xing's mother entered the main courtyard, and Liangchen beside the eldest lady hurriedly grabbed her.

"Mother Xing, you see that the eldest lady didn't sleep well yesterday, and she got up late today, if there is something wrong with my mother, when the eldest lady wakes up, can I go to my mother in person?"

It's not that she is inconsiderate of the eldest lady, but as a duchess of the country, she has to abide by the rules, and she can't let others see the joke!

Stepping on the fallen leaves in the yard, creaking, perhaps the footsteps disturbed the eldest lady.

Before Xing's mother arrived at the door of the room, she only heard an angry roar: "Keep away, don't come in." ”

Xing's mother paused and said outside the door: "I am speaking for Mrs. Tai, but unexpectedly, the eldest lady has not yet dressed up, as the head of the house, if such a look is passed out, it will really be a shame for the protector of the country!" ”

The eldest lady, who was already sober, was also a little annoyed.

"Liangchen, bring someone to serve me to make up."

For a while, Qingyueju was busy, and the people who came and went seemed so lively, even the birds in the trees were startled away by the noise.

Liangchen watched Xing's mother stand all the time, thinking that there was no way, so it was better to invite Xing's mother to the side hall for tea.

"It will take some time for the eldest lady to be here, so mom might as well drink tea and eat some snacks in the side hall!"

Mother Xing frowned, the eldest lady was surrounded by people who had served her for a few years.

In the end, he is young and careless.

Xing's mother and Liangchen passed through the corridor and went to the side hall.

The layout of the side hall is a little simple, although the furniture is all fine wood, but the ornaments on the side are ordinary porcelain.

At the beginning, Mrs. Tai opposed Grandpa Guo marrying the eldest lady, which was not unreasonable.

But at the beginning, Grandpa Guo wanted to marry alive or dead, and threatened his own life, saying that he would not marry if he was not a big lady in this life.

Mrs. Tai was helpless, but finally agreed.

The Guogong Mansion is sparsely populated, and when it comes to Mrs. Tai's generation, she finally has three sons, but her grandchildren are also difficult.

The eldest lady has not given birth to an heir for many years, and with the second lady entering the door, the eldest lady is like a demon, looking for a good way to have a child everywhere.

Grandpa Guo's repeated persuasion had no effect, and Mrs. Tai couldn't stand it, so she deliberately entered the palace and asked the doctor to diagnose the eldest lady's pulse with the help of the brand.

Unexpectedly, the eldest lady herself had no problem, although she had no heirs, probably the time had not come, but she took medicine indiscriminately, broke her body, and the heirs were hopeless.

Since then, Mrs. Tai has taken a concubine to Grandpa Guo, and life has been smooth, and now many years have passed, Grandpa Guo rarely returns to the Father's Mansion now, and when he returns, he also goes to Shou'antang to see Mrs. Tai.

The eldest young master was born without his own mother, and the eldest lady also took care of the eldest young master for a while, one day I don't know why, the grandfather suddenly hugged the eldest young master to the second lady, saying that he was accompanying the second young master, and when he reached the age of enlightenment, he arranged for the eldest young master to go to Shenghua Academy to study, and since there, the husband and wife have gone farther and farther.

Liangchen took the prepared tea and entered the side hall, and saw that Xing's mother had been staring at the shelf in front of her.

"Mom, what are you looking at? The tea I made didn't bring my mother back to her senses. ”

Xing's mother withdrew her eyes and took the teacup.

Liangchen is not calm in the end, and he should also sharpen his temperament.

"Do you have the time to go and see the eldest lady, I'm old and can't stand it."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll go and see."

Liangchen looked at Xing's mother's face was wrong, and just wanted the eldest lady to come over quickly.

Xing's mother is Mrs. Tai's person, if she is unhappy, go back and tell Mrs. Tai, and the eldest lady will be scolded again.

As soon as Liangchen came out of the side hall, he saw that the eldest lady had already come over with a beautiful view.

The eldest lady put on some fat powder for the first time today, presumably to cover up her pale face.

Until Liangchen helped the eldest lady to sit down.

"I heard that my mother had something to say to Xing's mother, I don't know what happened?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that some maids on Mrs. Tai's side should be married when they are old! Thinking of adding some little maids to come in, the last time Mrs. Tai went to the Yong'an Hou Mansion, she mentioned that there was a Zhang Pozi in the east of the city, and the maids she trained knew the rules very well. ”

Mother Xing looked at the eldest lady's face and said that there was nothing abnormal, so she continued to speak: "I heard that some of them are literate, so Mrs. Tai thought about buying a batch of little maids from her. ”

The old lady wanted a maid and specified it. This hasn't been the case before.

"Then I'll let Liangchen go find this Mrs. Zhang."

"No need, I've already looked for it, the eldest lady will go and meet it, just go through the motions, after all, the eldest lady is still in charge now."

Mother Xing finished speaking, and was ready to leave.

"It's not too early, I'll go to Shou'antang to reply."

After the eldest lady left, she was a little bored, stood up straight, walked to the door, and stared at the fallen leaves that had not yet been swept clean.

"I'm a decoration now, it's ridiculous!"

Liangchen became clever at this time, and if the eldest lady was unhappy, she should lose her temper again.

"Madame, don't think too much, listening to Mother Xing's words, I'm afraid that Mrs. Tai has already fallen in love with the maid on Mrs. Zhang's side, and now she wants to enter the house openly, so she has to go through you, saying that there is a literate little maid from Mrs. Zhang, not to tell you that Mrs. Tai wants that literate person, but it's just a trivial matter, you don't have to worry too much."

After listening to Liangchen's words, the eldest lady felt that there was some truth, and the depressed mood just now was also a little better.

Liangchen also breathed a sigh of relief, this level is over.

"Madame, let's eat, let's go meet those little maids."

The eldest lady didn't speak, and walked down the corridor to look at the maids sweeping the floor outside.

The maids around her before are gone, and Liangchen and others have not been in the house for a few years.

Since Grandpa Guo knew about that incident, he sent the maids around him, and now she doesn't even have a confidant.

But she doesn't regret it, she's right.
