The Housekeeper's Daughter-in-law of the Red House

It didn't take long for the Spring Festival to come, and Shulan was lucky enough to see the extravagant scenery of Jia's mansion. Compared with the feast of Lantern Festival described in the original book, the current one has a kind of arrogance belonging to the Duke's family. , more solemn than lively.

Shulan covered her mouth and yawned. She was used to going to bed early and getting up early after time travel, so she couldn't bear to suddenly have to keep vigil until the early morning.She can only be thankful now that the Lin family doesn't have many relatives, and even if there are, most of them are in Jia's house, otherwise it will be too much to take care of Jia's house and visit relatives and friends at the same time.

"Sister Lin is sleepy, I'll stay here and take a nap inside." A girl eating fruit next to her said considerately when she saw Shulan yawning non-stop.

Shulan rubbed her face and shook her head, "It's only once a year. I'll wash my face with cold water to refresh myself." It's okay to be lazy in Jia's house, but you can't make mistakes at critical moments. Now even Jia's mother She is guarding the night, what kind of person is she, she fell asleep alone, being stabbed out and being scolded and deducted monthly money is a trivial matter, the only thing she fears is being hated by her master.

Pushing open the door, a gust of cold wind hit, Shulan straightened the cloak on her body, it was so cold, now the drowsiness is gone, and there is no need to clean her face.

After all, Shulan is afraid of the cold. Although she was already dressed warmly enough, seeing the snow that kept falling, she stopped thinking about going out for a stroll, and shrank back into the house.It's too cold, I can't afford to hurt it!

Before Shulan took off her cloak and sat down, a person broke in from outside. It was Lu Wei, the big girl next to Mrs. Zhang. Tang, something serious happened."

Shulan's hands froze, what could happen to this New Year's Eve?With a puzzled look on his face, "What happened?"

"Good sister, I told you on the way, hurry up and go to Rongxitang with me, the old ladies and ladies are waiting." Lu Wei looked anxious.

Hearing this, Shulan quickly fastened the cloak with her backhand, and followed Lu Wei out in a hurry.Along the way, I found out what happened from Lu Wei's mouth. It turned out that Aunt Zhou actually became popular today. Today is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and she kept saying that Mrs. Wang harmed her.In ancient times, people paid attention to a new year and a new atmosphere, and they paid attention to old things but delayed until the new year. Now that Aunt Zhou made such a incident, she undoubtedly stabbed a hornet's nest.

But... what does this have to do with her?

Before they had time to ask in detail, they arrived at Rongxi Hall. Shulan and Lu Wei walked in and saw Zhou Rui's family kneeling on the ground.Her heart tightened, and she stepped forward to pay respects to the masters in a polite manner.

"Get up! Do you know what it means to call you here?" Mother Jia asked calmly with half-closed eyes.

Shulan shook her head, "I don't know what the old lady said." Finally, she paused and said, "I asked sister Luwei next to my wife on the way, and it seems that Aunt Zhou is popular." I really don't know at all, then It must be a lie, I don't know if I won't ask about it!If a servant is not a bit smart, he can still get a high position.

Jia's mother lowered her eyelids and said, "This was originally a matter of the second house. It would be rude to bring you, a big house, into this matter. It's just that some things are well understood, so that no one will say that I am biased and have resentment against me." .”

Slightly raised her chin, Lai Mama who was standing beside her understood, took a step forward and said to Shulan: "Miss Zhou has become popular, the doctor said that she ate too much ginseng, and it happened that the ginseng was accompanied by the second wife." Fang Zhourui’s family took it back from Dafang, and she said that after she got the ginseng in Dafang, she didn’t go back to the second wife’s immediately, but went to your place, is there such a thing?”

Shulan nodded, "Yes." There's nothing to hide about this, many people saw it when Zhou Rui's family came that day.

"The ginseng, can you see that she is holding it?"

Shaking his head, "No, Sister Zhou just came to talk to me."

"Speak!" The woman sitting beside her pale face said angrily, "It must be a plot to kill me!"

Shulan frowned, "I don't know where I offended Ms. Zhou, but Ms. Zhou would say that about me. Now that I am the second wife, although I have an indisputable relationship with the second wife, the old lady clearly understands that Zhou and I The girl has no grudges in the past, and now she has no grudges, and now I am not in the second room, why bother to harm her."

What good would it do her to kill Miss Zhou?

No!

No benefit at all.

If she and Lin Zhichun were sisters, maybe she would have done such a thing, but it just didn't, why did she make such a fuss?

This is not courting death, what is it?

"It's clear that you and Zhou Rui's family added something to the ginseng, which caused my miscarriage. Don't try to deny it." Aunt Zhou said with a grim expression.

Shulan rolled her eyes in her heart, this kid must be stupid!If she said that Zhou Rui's family might be believed by everyone, after all, it is a fact that Mrs. Wang dislikes Aunt Zhou, and it is also a fact that Zhou Rui's family is Mrs. Wang's confidant, but when it comes to Shulan, then... Ha ha!

Is this because the murderer can't be found and bit people randomly?

"Ahem..." Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth and coughed lightly twice, with a look of displeasure on her face, "Miss Zhou, what you mean is that the people in our first house made you popular?"

It sounds nothing at first, but if you think about it carefully, isn't this saying that Mrs. Zhang caused the maid of the second room to become famous?Who made Mrs. Zhang the head of the big house.

"Someone told me that she saw the two of them hiding in the house plotting with her own eyes. As a result, I became popular in less than two days. It wasn't them who harmed me." Aunt Zhou cried Lihua The one with rain said pitifully.

Shulan frowned, "Although I don't know who gave Ms. Zhou such a wrong idea, it's a fact that Sister Zhou came to see me. It's just that Sister Zhou heard that my father-in-law might go to Jiangnan for the spring party, so she wanted to bring her along the way." Some Su Jin came back and said it was for her brother to make clothes."

"Who knows if she went to get medicine from you, but you live outside." Aunt Zhou was still messing around.

"Hehe!" Shulan laughed, "According to Ms. Zhou, anyone who can get out of this mansion is suspected. Who knows if they brought in. Besides, the rules of this mansion, everywhere only Now, I only care about the affairs of the sewing room in Dafang. I have never seen the ginseng. I don’t know how much time has passed since the ginseng was sent to the second room. Why is Miss Zhou biting me and not letting go? , could it be that he wants to take advantage of the situation to bully others."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhou became furious with embarrassment, her chest was heaving up and down, "You're talking nonsense..."

Shulan didn't look at her, but respectfully kowtowed to Mother Jia, "Please pay attention to the old lady." She was really shot lying down!

"Old lady..." Aunt Zhou pinched her handkerchief, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Jia's mother pitifully.

If Jia's mother was a man, she would have fallen under Aunt Zhou's tears by now, but Jia's mother was a woman, a local girl who watched her husband take a concubine and give birth to three concubines.

Aunt Zhou's behavior made her involuntarily think of someone, and she couldn't help feeling disgusted in her heart.Although she was Jia Zheng's mother who wanted him to have more children, but at the same time she was also a regular wife who hated these concubines.If you want to talk about why she was satisfied with Lin Ruhai's white body, and didn't cry and make Jia Daishan change her son-in-law, it was not because of the Lin family's ancestral saying that "you can only take a concubine if you have no children at [-]".

Furthermore, Shulan was a very important chess piece she placed in the big room, and her heart was biased from the very beginning.Aunt Zhou made a fuss regardless of the time of day, which displeased Jia's mother even more. Older people like peace and smoothness, not vigor and vitality.

"Lin Zhixiao's family should get up first!" Mother Jia said lightly, Aunt Zhou wanted to speak, but she shrank her head and swallowed the words from her mouth when she was stared at by Mother Jia's sharp eyes.

"Yes, old lady Xie." Shulan got up slowly, frowning, kneeling for a long time, her feet were numb.

"Come here, send Miss Zhou back!" Mother Jia continued to issue orders, and Jia Zheng was a little anxious when she heard it from the sidelines, "Old lady..."

Jia Mu glared at him, and Jia Zheng didn't dare to act rashly and retreated back. The scene suddenly became silent, and after a while, Jia Mu said quietly: "Ginseng is a food that is eaten too much to promote blood circulation. Pregnant women are forbidden to take too much. "

I rub!

Jia's mother already knew the cause and effect. At this time, Shulan had ten thousand sheep and camels galloping past her. She knew the truth and why did she ask herself to kneel down?

The other people sitting there were also shocked, especially Aunt Zhou's face turned completely pale, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead and back. Mother Jia knew the truth! ?

Originally, Aunt Zhou was planning to take this opportunity to cut off Mrs. Wang's left and right sides, but now that she thinks about it... she is just an actress on the stage, no matter how she performs, it makes people laugh.

Mother Jia blinked her eyes, looked at Aunt Zhou who almost lost her strength immediately and said, "Send it back!"

At this moment, Aunt Zhou didn't dare to protest anymore, so she could only be sent back with the help of her side.

After a while, Mother Jia said: "It's getting late, let's go, don't watch over me."

Seeing that Mother Jia was not very interested, and knowing that the previous incident had spoiled Mother Jia's mood, they did not dare to disobey Mother Jia's wishes, and they all got up and left.

Shulan followed Jia She and Mrs. Zhang to bow to Jia's mother before retreating. After walking out of the Rongxi Hall, Jia She led a few servants back to the study.Mrs. Zhang led a few girls and women towards her main room.

But she didn't want to, when Mrs. Zhang walked to the door, she suddenly turned around and said to Shulan: "It's getting late, you go down first, you don't have to wait on me, you should think about this matter carefully."

Shulan frowned, and replied, "Yes."
