Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

"I know Third Aunt loves me." Xiangyun twisted a piece of peony roll and put it in his mouth, saying vaguely.

Cui Wei, who was packing up her things at the side, was startled when she heard the words, stopped what she was doing, and said a little funny, but also a little angry: "Young lady, it's time for you to eat something. It's not like you don't know that the third master is in the limelight." Zhengsheng, now that he has gone to the northwest again, he must be appointed as a marquis in the future, and the third wife he brought with him at home is not under the control of the second wife. It’s not that her family is alone.”

Xiangyun took a sip of almond tea, flushed the cake scum from his mouth, looked at the empty plate with some regret, sighed vaguely, and glanced at Cui Ling with eyes as clear as autumn water. With one glance, he said with a serious tone: "Cuilu, you are too good at treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

"Miss, you are so naive." Cui Ling added tea for Xiangyun, "Miss, drink less, this almond tea is delicious, but if you drink too much, you will get angry."

Xiangyun broke Cuiwei and said, "Look at what you said, whoever treats me well is taking advantage of it, so why is it that my aunt loves me, and she is also taking advantage of it?"

Her dark eyes stared at Cui Hui with a bit of childishness.

Cui Ling shook her head speechlessly, she is the maid of Jia's house, so how can she say that Jia's mother is not?I had to forcefully laugh and said: "What the girl said is true, it is true that the servant girl is supercilious." After that, she turned around and went to the ear room to get the feather silk cloak she wore in autumn.

Xiangyun clapped his hands, and went to the dressing table to find a few things that could be given away, "Isn't that enough?"

Cui Zhu, who was lowering her head to trace the appearance of flowers and birds, saw Xiang Yun's actions and knew that she was going to leave, so she hurriedly said, "Girl, the second lady asked you to help with the sewing..."

"I'm not the aunt of the second room, a maid, what kind of work do I do, I wish I could get back all the money spent on me all day long, and let her daughter-in-law do the work by herself." Xiang Yun muttered in a low voice, and secretly stared at the needlework Glancing at the pattern on the shelf, he said again and again: "You're a good boy, just put it aside for now, wait for me to come back, just catch up with work."

Cuizhu responded, put down the half-drawn pattern, and took out the embroidery book, "Forgive me for talking too much, but the girl has to pick out a pattern first."

Xiangyun raised his head, but shouted inwardly: "Cuilu, if you still want to leave, if you don't leave, I'll keep you in the mansion."

Cui Ling hurriedly responded, and followed quickly.

She is the maidservant of the Jia family, and only when Xiangyun goes to play can she see her family members.

The master and the servant walked away like this, leaving Cuizhu to jump alone.

While Cuizhu was anxious that she could not do the job with the second wife, she also resented Xiangyun's innocence and lack of ambition all day long, and then lamented why she followed such a master, and couldn't help but shed bitter tears for herself.

Xiangyun has always been naive, how did he know that he was living on the cusp of the storm?

Cuihui Cuizhu's worry is not completely unreasonable, and of course he does not complain about Cuilu's carelessness, the current situation of the Shifu, but there is a lot of age in it.

The population of the Shifu is simple, and there are few trivial matters, but how can the aristocratic family not have any troubles?

Take the second master and the third master's life as an example, there is a concubine's eldest son in the family. With military exploits, he entered a third-rank official position when he was less than [-] years old, which caused the old Hou Ye to think of replacing his concubine with a concubine. If he hadn't been afraid of Mrs. Tai's mother's family, the Shifu might have changed a long time ago.

Even if the Eldest Master left early, he would have put the Second and Third Masters on his head for half his life.

The eldest lady was in the concubine's house. In the past, she was much more arrogant than the second lady, the serious Mrs. Hou Ye. But for a period of time, the Shifu only knew Zhang, but not Zhao and Wang.

The Wang family is a branch of the Wang family in Jinling. The family had a first assistant at that time, but now the population of the family is dying, so they shy away from the Zhang family and tolerate it as much as they can. The second wife, Zhao family, does not think so.

The second master is the son of the eight books, Zhao's father is a famous scholar in the world, the dean of Shushan Academy, peaches and plums are all over the world, especially the current Zhong Shoufu is taught by him, Zhao's heart is arrogant for half his life, how can he tolerate a A concubine's elder brother's wife is above his head?It took several years to fight with Zhang.

Mrs. Zhao doesn't care about the dead, but Xiangyun is a living person. Although food and clothing have never been treated harshly, but occasionally thinking of it, he will make excuses to make things difficult for Xiangyun.

Mrs. Wang was angry and knew what she was doing, but she was the third daughter-in-law after all, so she had to turn a blind eye to Mrs. Zhao, but Mrs. Jia was different. She was a little aunt who married late and looked at the old man Growing up, plus the fact that Jia Zheng became a Yuanwailang in the spring of this year is often taken care of by his aunt, how can he just sit idly by Xiangyun?Every now and then, Xiangyun would be picked up to stay temporarily, but she was a married girl, no matter where her seniority was, it was inconvenient for her to intervene deeply in Shifu's family affairs.

Although there is such a relationship, it's a pity that Xiangyun has a petty temperament, and he has conflicts with the second wife not once or twice, and even made them servant girls suffer from splints.

Cuizhu bit the embroidery thread fiercely, rubbed the embroidery pattern, and threw it on the ground. Qingming, who came in to get the lychee plate yesterday, saw it, and joked with a smile: "What's the matter? My good sister, who is it?" Made you angry?"

"How dare you have it," Cui Zhu said with a smile, "My good sister, today, can I just pretend that you didn't see anything, and forgive me this time."

The two of them are already familiar with each other, and it's over with a smile, so I won't mention it.

##

Ning Yun was stirring the porridge in his hand, watching the porridge gradually getting cold, but actually thinking about the future in his heart.

It doesn't matter which dynasty or generation it is, life must go on after all.

The third lady noticed that something was wrong with Ning Yun, and called softly: "Ning Yun?"

Ning Yun regained consciousness, got up subconsciously, and said, "Mom?" Unfortunately, she was only five or six years old, and the chair was short and high. Although it was easy to sit on and sit on, she almost fell down when she got down.

Luckily, Binlan had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and supported her.

The third lady, who had already come to Ning Yun, breathed a sigh of relief. She straightened Ning Yun, patted her clothes, and slapped her face. Only then did she put her heart back into her stomach.

Only then was he relieved, and then he bowed his head and scolded Ning Yun again, "Look at you, don't be careful."

Who knew that Ning Yun also looked up anxiously at this time and explained: "Mom, I'm fine."

As a result, due to an unfortunate coincidence, the two of them bumped into each other. The third lady groaned and covered her forehead. Ning Yun also took a step back, embarrassed and said: "Mom?"

The third lady hurriedly waved her hands, "It's all right." She picked up Ning Yun, put it on her lap, and personally picked up a spoon to feed her. Ning Yun was uncomfortable in every possible way, but it was hard to say anything, so she had to sit in the arms of the third lady inside.

It didn't take long before I heard the chiming clock strike seven times. The third lady hurriedly put Ning Yun down and turned back to the East Wing. She came out again not long after, she was already fully dressed.

The third lady is only in her early twenties this year, her hair is like lacquer, her eyes are like autumn waves, and she is quite dignified and ladylike. At this time, she changed into a lotus-colored embroidered skirt with waist and knees, and a dark purple skirt with thread. It's the atmosphere.

She walked out quickly, and ordered someone to call Li Yun, the second aunt's child, before she took Ning Yun up to greet Mrs. Tai.

After coming out of Qinghe Courtyard, and bypassing Zhuying Pavilion, he came to Zhenxia Pavilion where Mrs. Tai lived.

When they arrived, the second lady hadn't arrived yet, and Mrs. Tai was resting on the couch.

The third lady saluted first, and then Ning Yun and Li Yun went up to pay their respects.

Mrs. Lin just sat up a little bit now, and enthusiastically pulled sister Ning Yun and Liyun to sit in front of her couch, and said to the third lady: "Sit down and talk, don't poke, I feel tired looking at it." Yes, Ning Yun hasn't come up for a few days, I'm thinking too much, is he in good health?"

The maid hurriedly moved a stool for the third lady, and the third lady sat down and said with a smile: "Thanks to my wife, it is already well."

"That's good." Mrs. Tai smiled and touched Ning Yun's hair, "I like to be lively, and when I have time to spare, I must be like Li Yun and come up to accompany grandma more often."

Ning Yun's heart trembled. If Mrs. Tai was an individual's sperm, so was she who had also been a Mrs. Yipin. The subtext of these words was very familiar to her.

She is young, and her tone of voice is still a bit milky, "Ning Yun also misses her grandmother, but unfortunately Ning Yun's body is not good enough, she is always sick, and she has no chance to spend more time with her grandmother."

The third lady narrowed her eyes immediately.

Mrs. Tai still had a distant smile like a spring breeze in March.

Ning Yun once heard Binlan say in private that Mrs. Tai likes girls, but it is a pity that there are few girls in the Shi family, and they are all raised under her mother's lap. Only by doing my best can I get the blessing of being able to grow up in my mother's eyes.

But Ning Yun said, this may not be a blessing.

In her opinion, Second Aunt is just a fool who pretends to be clever.

Isn't it obvious at a glance that the child raised under the aunt's lap is brought up by the aunt herself, which one is precious?

But she also had a pleasant surprise. The Great Jin Dynasty was somewhat similar to the early days of the Kingdom. There were a lot of vacancies for the lords of the harem, so every household was not afraid of having a girl, because if a girl could enter the palace, it would be more important for a girl to succeed than for a boy to study hard. It's so much easier.

The third wife and the wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, immediately talked about the daily routine, talking about something and nothing.

Suddenly a woman came in and announced with a smile that the second lady had arrived.

Then the second wife walked in surrounded by a group of maids and mothers, and the third wife Ning Yun and the others stood up quickly, performed the family ceremony, and then sat down again.

Mrs. Tai didn't show courtesy to the second lady, she just nodded, "Sit down."

The second lady also sat down on top of the third lady without any hesitation. After drinking a sip of tea, she explained with a smile on her face.

"Today, Lin An's family came up with some matters on the account books, so it was delayed for a while. I left Lan Yun and let her learn to deal with housework." The second wife said with a smile, "Madam, younger siblings, don't blame me. .”

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded, "You are busy with your work, and it will be good for my daughter-in-law Ding to accompany you to talk."

The second lady glanced at the third lady, but the third lady still smiled calmly, and said, "My wife still loves me, my siblings are too tired, I am the second sister-in-law, but I will watch from the side."

She turned her head to look at Mrs. Tai, and said with a smile: "Madam, if the third sibling has any problems, you can tell me and see if I don't take care of her properly."

The third lady half-truthfully said: "Come on, who doesn't know that the wife loves you the most. Look, you are a real monkey, and you are somewhat similar to a niece from my natal family."

As soon as the second wife said this, the second lady immediately continued: "If the monkey doesn't make trouble with the Queen Mother, who will you make trouble with? Which niece of your natal family? If you have time to catch up tomorrow, I must compete with her."

Mrs. Tai pressed her forehead helplessly, "You are the most noisy in this family."

The third lady chuckled and raised her handkerchief, "As I was talking, ma'am, you don't know that the fifth room of my natal family happened to have a niece who just left the family last year and gave it to the young master of the Rongguo Mansion's head Fang's family. "

Mrs. Tai interrupted with a smile: "This marriage is quite appropriate, it's not like kissing for more."

"Madam, you don't know." The third lady pointed to the second lady, and smiled sideways: "My niece was raised as a man since she was a child, and she also took a boy's name, Xifeng, and her nickname is Feng Lazi. I've seen it a few times, and to be honest, it's absolutely true, it's a hundred times hotter than our Spicy Zhao."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but laugh, and said to the second lady, "Sometimes, this joke fits the scene, it's really funny."

The second lady glanced at the third lady, turned around pretending to be angry, and made a gesture to gesture to the third lady, and said: "She also said that my wife is spoiling me. Look, this is not taking advantage of my words. What kind of niece is not a niece? It's not just arranging for me." ? Make fun of me again, and see if I don't tear your mouth."

Since the second lady entered this door, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively, and even the mother of the servant girl who came in and out to serve tea unconsciously showed a smile on her face.

Ning Yun had to admit that this second wife had a much higher rank than the third wife, so it was no wonder that the second wife preferred the second wife a lot.
