Ling'er held her cheeks, "En...... must have been scolded, looking at her like that, she just didn't laugh. Miss, you're so powerful, you've done everything like a fairy."

Han Youning smiled, "Maybe it's a ghost?"

Ling'er's face changed, and she took her hand and touched the table, "Bah, babaa, children's words are unscrupulous!" Miss, don't talk nonsense! Ghosts and monsters are evil things, my mother said that she can't mention them, they will really lead to you."

Han Youning smiled.

It's useless to touch the wood.

Ling'er poured a cup of tea for Han Youning and brought back the topic of Fang Cai, "Actually, the jade man is very good, once the slave maid had an argument with the mother-in-law in the big kitchen, and she also helped the slave and maid to speak and reprimanded the mother-in-law. You said, if she follows the second lady out of the cabinet, will it really end badly?"

Han Youning said lightly, "Second sister, whoever gets in her way will not end well."

In her previous life, Zheng's mother's family was Han Qingwan's companion room, and she followed her into the prince's mansion.

Jade was just serving tea to Zhao Chen, Han Qingwan was not in the room, and the next day she was assigned to Zhuangzi Zhuangtou as a concubine, and Zhuangtou's wife was ruthless, but she tortured people to death in three months.

Zheng's mother is so easy to get a daughter, and with such a baby daughter, she is calm and loyal, and she can't stand it. She went to Han Qingwan to theorize, and it was quite a big trouble, and it happened that she went to ask Han Qingwan for peace that day and heard something.

When Ling'er heard this, her heart was relieved.

In this way, although it is designed in jadeite, it can't be regarded as harming her, and it can't be said that it can find a better future for her.

Ling'er saw that Miss was still looking at the account book, and asked strangely, "Since it is a fake account book, what else is Miss looking at?"

Han Youning looked at it slowly, "The fake account book can also tell a little bit of truth."

--

Before dawn on the second day, Han Youning struggled to get up from the bed.

With her eyes closed, Ling'er helped her dress and make up.

"This is the first day, this day is long, how can it ......be good?"

In Ling'er's broken thoughts, Han Youning ate a cup of bird's nest milk custard, wrapped in a cloak in thick white fox fur, took a hand stove, and walked out of Jinhetang.

The sky is like ink, and the east is not dawning.

The frost covered the ground, and the shadows of the trees were numerous.

There are already people walking around in the house, and when they see the two masters and servants carrying lanterns, they are all respectful and respectful in the house.

After the people, there is a low voice.

"The eldest lady got up early......

There were a few lanterns hanging in the courtyard of the council hall, and the housekeepers and mothers stood under the porch to avoid the wind.

The morning breeze was bitterly cold, but after a while, my body was frozen.

Someone whispered, "It's just winter, it's so cold, and in another month, I'm afraid I'll have to wait in the snow."

"We've worked for half a lifetime to get to this status, inside and outside the house, but whoever recognizes it, who doesn't respect and respect my mother, and salute with a smile. Now I have to get up an hour with those rough mothers-in-law, and I will be cold and hungry."

"It's okay to be tired, I'm afraid that in the future, we will all not be able to eat and drink the northwest wind."

"Our Dingguo Mansion is known for its leniency towards its subordinates, but now it's about to change its style......

"Mother Zhang's words are right, the Dingguo Mansion will change its style in the future."

Han Youning walked in, and the housekeepers hurriedly stood up, "Miss."

Han Youning walked to the bottom of the corridor, and was not in a hurry to enter the hall, looking at Mother Zhang, she said coldly, "Grandpa Guo gets up every day when he sleeps on the third watch, trains the guards, handles official business, and then hurriedly enters the palace to order the morning court. It's you slaves, who sleep until dawn every day and get up when you've slept enough, and now you are even more embarrassed than your grandfather when you get up an hour later. Where in the world is there a truth that the master and the slave are burdened and the slave enjoys happiness!"

Zhang's mother drooped her face and lowered her head.

The other mothers also lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything, and there was the one standing behind, pouting with disdain.

Han Youning looked around, "Come in."

Procedure

There are two charcoal basins in the hall, and the inside is warm and comfortable.

If it hadn't burned for half an hour in advance, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so warm.

When the mothers came in, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Youning sat on the upper seat in the center, with hot tea on the table and a hot water kettle on the charcoal basin on the side.

Han Youning poured a cup of tea and drank it, the tea was coarse tea, bitter and unpleasant, she asked, "Who is in charge of the council room?"

A mother said, "Miss Hui, she is a mother-in-law, and in the past, the affairs were in the courtyard of the former second lady, so this meeting hall is not commonly used, so only one mother-in-law is arranged to clean it every day."

Han Youning said, "Let her in."

The mother who was near the door walked out and stood at the door and shouted, "Hey, mother-in-law! The eldest lady wants to see you! Hurry up!"

A woman dressed in coarse cloth clothes walked in with her head down, although she looked honest, she was not panicked, and knelt on the ground to say goodbye, "Say hello to the eldest lady."

"You get up," Han Youning looked at the extremely familiar face, Akiba's mother, "when did you get up?"

Quan Pozi said, "Miss Hui, it was from the time of Yin. This chamber is so large that it takes a little more to burn the charcoal basin to dispel the cold."

Han Youning bowed, "If the people in the mansion are as diligent and thoughtful as you, you don't have to be *** hearted. And where did this tea come from?"

"Miss Hui, I went to the big kitchen to get it. Because it is not commonly used here, this tea is not used for a while, and I received half a catty in the summer, and now there is a lot left."

Han Youning took out an account book, flipped through it, held it up and asked Zhang's mother, "I see that the monthly tea expenditure on this account book is about one hundred taels of silver, which is divided into three types: upper, medium, and inferior. The high-quality tea is used in the courtyards, the flower hall of the council hall, and this council hall receives two catties of high-quality tea every month, which is worth ten taels of silver. Maybe I can't taste tea, and a pound of good tea is the taste? How do you calculate two pounds a month?"

Mother Zhang rolled her eyes, "Miss, the first two ladies are all in the Qingteng Academy, and the tea leaves in the council hall will be dialed over. There was only one mother-in-law here, and if there was good tea, she was allowed to steal it and drink it, so she gave her some coarse tea." ν.

Han Youning sneered, "Qingteng Academy's own share still has four catties of tea every month, plus these six catties, can't you eat tea as a meal every day?" You relied on the fact that the former second lady couldn't confront her in prison, so you pushed everything on her!"

Zhang's mother muttered in a low voice, "If the eldest lady doesn't believe it, just ask." The old slave doesn't dare to lie."

Han Youning said, "I don't have to ask her, Duan Yi, go to Zhang's mother's room and see what kind of tea she drinks!"

Duan Yi's voice came from the courtyard, "Yes!"

Zhang's mother's face changed.

Duan Yi moved quickly, and soon came back, carrying a cloth bag in his hand, which contained four catties of high-quality tea.

Han Youning let Ling'er brew a pot, and the hall was suddenly filled with fragrance.

She took a sip and sighed contentedly, "It's better than what I got in Jinhetang, and it's really a slave who lives more comfortably than a master." Four catties is twenty taels, it can't be bought by Zhang's mother herself, right?"
