Wen Zhu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What chores?" ”

Wen Xiaomei smiled silently, turned her head and told Wen Ju to take care of her younger sisters, and then took Wen Zhu's hand out of the study, but did not get on the sedan chair, and went straight to the courtyard next door, where two Taishi chairs had been placed under the vines, and some refreshments were placed on the small table.

After Wen Xiaomei motioned for Wen Zhu to sit on the chair on the left, she lifted her skirt and sat down slowly on the chair on the right. Said to the middle-aged woman standing aside: "Wen Fu's family, let them come up." ”

After passing the words, more than a dozen middle-aged servant women came in one after another, all of them in green shirts, with a light purple tassel tied around their waists, combed neatly in a cloud bun, tied up with green scarves, and consciously stood in two rows.

Wen Xiaomei pinched the fan in her hand, leaned closer to Wen Zhu's ear and whispered, "These are the stewards of each room and each courtyard." ”

Wen Zhu looked over one by one, and found that the woman who was tied up by his palm was also in the list, and the two had a tacit understanding to look away.

Wen Xiaomei nodded slightly to Wen Fu's family, and the mother-in-law standing at the front stepped forward and blessed her: "The eldest lady has hay fever, please take a few snow lotus into medicine." Saying that, she handed over the list, Wen Xiaomei took out the small seal, Wen Fujia held the seal clay, and lightly covered it, the mother-in-law accepted the list, thanked her, and stepped aside.

The rest of the stewards reported in turn, it was nothing more than the food and clothing of the ladies and ladies, the employment and dismissal of the people in the family, etc., Wen Zhu gradually listened to the boredom, and ate two cups of tea in a row, and forcibly suppressed the fatigue.

When he was drowsy, he heard a sharp and thin voice, piercing his eardrums like an awl: "The gift list prepared for Mrs. Uncle's birthday, please look at the five girls." ”

Wen Xiaomei sneered: "Uncle? Didn't I remember just having my birthday last month? ”

The sharp voice replied confidently: "Last month, it was the eldest lady of the uncle, but this time it is the eighth lady." ”

Before Wen Xiaomei could speak, Wen Fu's family was already angry: "Who taught it to have no rules, don't you know that only three wives can be called Mrs.?" ”

Wen Fujia turned around and explained to Wen Xiaomei in a soft voice: "I didn't make the girl laugh." The youngest son of the second lady's housekeeper in the courtyard married his wife and took a few days off, but he didn't expect to launch such an ignorant one. It's just that this gift list doesn't look too much, so please ask the girl to approve it, right? ”

Wen Xiaomei said coldly: "Today, his eighth wife is going to give a gift for her birthday, and tomorrow, will the eldest girl in his house have to prepare for her birthday?" ”

grabbed the list, the three of them tore it down, and raised it casually, the woman who was blown by the wind was full of face, but the woman didn't move, and she didn't dare to come out, Wen Xiaomei pointed at her and said, "Tell the second lady to change someone in the courtyard who can do things." And the servant woman, who was strong of her own body, dragged the woman down.

Wen Zhu secretly thought, Wen Xiaomei is gentle and lovely to her sisters, and she is also resolute in managing the house, this Wen family's tutor is indeed extraordinary.

After all the stewards had returned, Wen Xiaomei picked up the teacup, lifted the tea lid, and asked as if unintentionally: "Wen Fu's family, I heard that there are some rumors about the third sister in the house?" Wen Zhu's ears immediately stood up, rumors? Or is it about yourself?

Wen Fujia's face smiled like a flower, and said: "The little girls chew the root of their tongues, and I will be disciplined when I go back." ”

Wen Xiaomei took a sip of tea slowly, slowly put down the teacup, and said gently: "If it was the eldest sister housekeeper, you wouldn't answer like this, right?" ”

Wen Fu's flutter knelt down, and the other stewards were also sincerely afraid of falling to their knees, Wen Zhu was stunned, and couldn't help but be fascinated by the eldest sister of the Wen family, a single name has such magic, I don't know what kind of character it should be? !

The Wen Fu family lost his composure from beginning to end, and opened his mouth with a trace of trilling: "Return, back to the girl's words, when the old slave passed by the big stove room, he heard the two girls muttering......"

Wen Xiaomei was not shocked and asked, "What are you muttering?" And thou shalt do the same. ”

Wen Fujia glanced at Wen Zhu's curious face and said, "Yes." They said that the third lady had a personal affair with Mr. Xiao, and was caught by the master when she eloped, and the wound on the third lady's head was smashed by the master with an inkstone. Because of this incident, the third lady was repented of marrying by the Sun family. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a "bang", but it was Wen Xiaomei who angrily dropped the tea bowl in her hand, Wen Zhu was stunned and stayed for a long time, Fang reacted to see if Wen Xiaomei's hand was scratched, Wen Xiaomei grabbed Wen Zhu's hand and said categorically: "Sister, don't be sad, I will definitely seek justice for my sister today!" ”

Turning his head to the Wen Fu family, he smiled at Yanran: "Which two girls are they?" ”

Wen Fujia's forehead sweated, and he said, "Yes, it's the ingots and silver in the second lady's room." ”

Wen Zhu saw the color change of the Zhan family kneeling in the crowd at a glance, could it be that she was holding revenge?

Xiaomei gave an order, and someone immediately dragged the two girls, fourteen or five years old, they looked like sisters, they were both a little baby fat, and they looked quite happy, and their eyes were round and round.

As soon as Yuan Bao and Yinzi knelt down, they stopped the crimson sedan chair and hurried over, followed by a large group of maids and servants. As soon as the sedan car stopped, I saw a slender jade hand open the sedan curtain from the sedan chair, the hand was very small, such as jade, exuding a mutton fat-like light, and then what caught my eye was a delicate foot, the arch of the foot showed a perfect arc, the toe lightly touched the ground, looking up, but it was the willow leaf green Luo skirt with a rose red jacket, and the very posture was born by this red and green life and two points.

Wen Xiaomei pulled up Wen Zhu in her belly and bowed: "Er Niang'an." ”

The second lady ignored it, walked straight to the chair in front of her, sat down, and the mother-in-law with the sharp voice before came out again: "My lady comes to see what the big girl in these two ladies' room has done." ”

Wen Xiaomei glanced at the phoenix, and immediately a maid moved another chair, Wen Xiaomei pulled Wen Zhu and sat down together, picking up the small seal in her hand and rubbing it back and forth, the second lady snorted coldly, waved her hand, and the mother-in-law who fought in front of her retreated.

Wen Xiaomei smiled with satisfaction and said to Wen Fujia: "You can repeat what you just said." ”

Wen Fujia lowered his head and repeated it word for word, but when he saw that the ingots and silver were pale with fright, he even shouted wronged, Wen Xiaomei sneered: "Wronged or not, you will know in a while, come here, go to the family law!" ”

Wen Zhu unexpectedly appeared in his mind the scene of two young girls covered in whip marks and blood, a little unbearable, waiting to stop it, but he thought that wouldn't it be a good intention to stop Xiaomei rashly? Besides, the second lady is watching from the sidelines, and she won't care about the life or death of the maid next to her?

After thinking about it, I finally decided to sit on the wall and watch.
