Xia Cao thought that he would not be able to escape the scolding this time, but when he heard this, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed with tears, and he couldn't help but be grateful: "Yuzhu, you are so good, thank you, otherwise I don't know how to explain to the old lady!" ”

"It's okay, go quickly, don't be scolded by the old lady later."

In the yard.

Dou Lianyi was playing Go with Fu Qing, she held the sunspot in her hand, and besieged Fu Qing's white son on the chessboard in three or two strokes.

Seeing that this chess game was really powerless, Fu Qing could only flatten his mouth and admit defeat, and got up to put away the chess pieces on the chessboard.

"Young lady, which gentleman did you learn this chess skill from, and why are you so tricky and weird."

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi just smiled leisurely, leaned back on the recliner behind him, and responded: "It's just self-taught, and I can't talk about any chess skills." ”

In her last life, she was dedicated to the success of Dong Ge'er, and every time her husband taught, she followed along to listen to the lectures, and after a long time, she learned everything.

In addition, she is talented and intelligent, and she has never forgotten the ancient books she has read, so she can still remember it after being reborn in this life.

At this time, a gust of autumn wind blew, bringing down a lot of leaves on the trees next to her, and one or two blew on Dou Lianyi's legs, she picked up one and looked at the sun, and found that the veins were clear, so she handed it to Fu Qing, and said with a smile: "This can make a bookmark for you to play." ”

Fu Qing took it, looked left and right for a while, and then asked with some confusion: "Bookmark?" Can this leaf still be made into a bookmark? ”

"Hmm."

Dou Lianyi didn't elaborate, just lowered his eyes, and was a little sleepy by this autumn wind.

Just as she wanted to squint her eyes for a while, Bai Zhi on the side put a cloak on her and said in a low voice of concern: "It's windy, young lady, why don't you go back to the house and lie down, so as not to catch a cold." ”

"No, it's quite cool outside this autumn wind."

The wind is also accompanied by the faint fragrance of osmanthus in the yard, which makes people relax.

"Young lady."

Just when Dou Lianyi was about to fall asleep, she heard Yuzhu's voice coming from far and near.

Bai Zhi hurriedly greeted her and whispered, "The young lady is about to take a nap, don't wake her up." ”

"But this is what the old lady ordered someone to send to the young lady, this ......"

"Show me it."

Dou Lianyi opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to take the wooden box.

When she opened it, it was a thousand-year-old ginseng whisker that Mrs. Lu regarded as a treasure, she smiled disapprovingly, closed the wooden box, and handed it to Fu Qing.

"Here you go, but don't eat too hard at a time, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have a nosebleed like Brother Dong'er."

Fu Qing was stunned for a moment, didn't dare to take it, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Young lady, this can be used for you to replenish your body, I don't need this." ”

"You practice martial arts every day, and there will always be a time when it will be useful," Dou Lianyi didn't give Fu Qing a chance to refuse, and directly stuffed it into his hand, "Take it, if I want it, I can get better than this at any time." ”

"Thank you, young lady."

Seeing this, Fu Qing did not refuse.

By taking advantage of being sick in bed, he didn't need to see Mrs. Lu and Lu Shangxuan, and in private, Dou Lianyi let Yuzhu go to Fengxue Pavilion several times.

According to the contract, the business in the shop under her name is all in cooperation with Qin Mu, so even if Dou Lianyi does not personally participate in it, she can get a lot of money every month.

And after Dou Lianyi got those silver taels, most of them were deposited in the money bank, and only some were taken out to check the county king's mansion from time to time.

Especially Mrs. Lu, who can also drink bird's nest every once in a while.

It's just that once when Mrs. Lu came out of the courtyard for a walk, she heard Lu Lianzhi complaining to her personal maid Fen'er behind the rockery: "I don't want to allocate more money every month, how can I eat blood swallows with such a little silver!" ”

"Miss, don't talk about blood bird's nest, we can't even drink ordinary bird's nest."

Lu Lianzhi stomped her feet irritably, "Tsk, it's all to blame on that slut!" ”

This frightened Fen'er and hurriedly stopped: "Miss, be quiet, if someone else listens, it will be bad." ”

"Why, the second lady of my dignified county palace is still afraid that she will not be an outsider!"

Having said that, Lu Lianzhi's voice was significantly lowered.

Then came the sound of their hurried footsteps.

Old Madam Lu squinted her eyes, and then realized that the bird's nest she drank was actually sent to her by Dou Lianyi in private.

"Old lady, it seems that the young lady still understands the kindness of you, but it is these two young ladies who ......"

Aunt Lan Xi, the personal maid who had been following Mrs. Lu's side, spoke.

"I shouldn't have adopted her in the first place, I thought that if she could do her part, then it would be okay to adopt Shang Xuan's concubine, but now it seems that most of the disasters in the county king's mansion were caused by her, which is really unfortunate for the family!"

Old Madam Lu sighed deeply, and she didn't have any affection for Lu Lianzhi in her heart.

Aunt Lan Xi hurriedly comforted: "Old lady, don't worry too much, with the young master here, you will definitely be able to solve this problem." ”

Hearing this, Old Madam Lu did not answer, but took a deep look at Lu Lianzhi's departing figure, and said lightly: "In the future, she must not be allowed to run rampant in the mansion as a second lady." ”

Since then, Lu Lianzhi has found that she doesn't even have the right to speak in the county king's mansion!

"You are so bold, don't you even dare to listen to the words of the second lady!"

"Fen'er, don't blame us, after all, the incense in each yard is fixed every month, and even if the second lady comes in person, she can't get much."

No matter what Fen'er said, the mother-in-law in charge of the incense library refused to let her take more incense and go, and even told Fen'er to complain to the big housekeeper if she had any opinions.

Fen'er was so angry by their attitude that she didn't hesitate to speak.

"You, you, wait for our second young lady to tell the old lady what you did today, and see if you cheap slaves can stay in the county king's mansion!"

"Yo, then you go and sue the second miss, anyway, we are also acting according to the orders of the above," the mother-in-law held a large handful of incense, glanced at Fen'er with disdain, and deliberately bumped into her when she passed by, "As for whether we can be driven out of the house, it is not your second miss's turn to make a decision." ”

"You!"

Seeing that the other party didn't give herself any face, Fen'er had nothing to do except stomp her feet in place in anger.

She immediately turned around and went back to complain to the second lady, and Lu Lianzhi's face turned blue when she heard it.

Even if she was driven to Yiyuan by the old lady before, she was still nominally the second lady of the county king's mansion.
