Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 161, if you don't take it for nothing
The three of them kept their agreement and continued to drink tea. The more they tasted the tea, the better it tasted. Yan Ziqin felt that this cup of tea was the most enjoyable tea in the past half month.

Yan Ziqin only felt that tea was like wine, and the more he drank, the more intoxicating he became, and suddenly his poetic nature opened up. Looking at the painted railings and pillars of the academy, dancing ink poems, he began to chant poems impromptu.

Tang Shanzhang and Professor Wei accompanied him to compose Fu and recite ancient and modern songs freely.

Houfu
After a short rest, Yuningjiao was looking at the account books of the Hou Mansion on the couch in the wing room.

Holding a letter in his hand, Chi Yan walked in slowly.

When Yuning Jiao saw Chi Yan coming, Liu Yemei raised his eyebrows at him.

"I heard people say that you have been staying at home a lot recently, didn't you often stay in Lixiangfang before? What's the matter, the girls in Lixiangfang are no longer fragrant?"

Chi Yan put the letter on the couch table, sat beside her, crossed his legs, lighted the letter idlely, and smiled lazily: "Mother, why is it not fragrant? I am only interested in their body fragrance. I have always Clean yourself up, otherwise you wouldn't allow me to go to that kind of place!"

Yuningjiao put down the account book, and looked at Chi Yan gently with her long and narrow Danfeng eyes.

"It's good for you to be modest, but no matter what kind of woman you are, you can join the mansion if you like it. I'm staring at these groups of old faces all day long, and my eyes are sour. What I deal with is the trivial matters outside the house." Small things, sometimes I really want to see them fight for you, and then run to me to sue each other, so that the family will be more lively, now you are the only one in the family, your father refuses to take concubines, and you have been weak for several months, and you will not Concubine, Yan'er, mother is not a pedantic person, if you look down on the woman from Shangjing's mansion, I will ask your uncle to cancel the marriage, our family does not need your marriage to maintain, you are interested Let go and marry, don't care who it is, as long as you like it, mother will help you match!"

Chi Yan raised his hand to stop her, and that petite figure flashed in his heart: "Mother, I can handle my own affairs by myself, so don't meddle in my affairs. Mother, here is a letter from the lady of the Duke's Mansion, you Take a look."

Seeing the letter on the short case, Yuning Jiao hadn't opened it yet, and Bai Yu had a smile on her face: "You haven't read it yet?"

Chi Yanmo said indifferently: "What do I think? If they want to come to Yaoshan through the academy's autumn calligraphy and painting exhibition, then come, and they don't need me to accompany them!"

Yuning Jiao saw that he was not interested in his indifferent face, and asked tentatively: "It seems that there is someone in my heart, and I don't want to see the lady of the Duke's Mansion anymore? Can you tell my mother, is it the rich lady or the mountain girl who captured me?" Son's heart?"

"Mother, you are busy, you don't need to ask me about my private affairs!" Chi Yan said, standing up, pointing to the letter on the table: "Mother, you can read this letter for yourself, I'm leaving!"

Yuning Jiao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Hey, don't go, I see that you care about this girl, Yan'er!"

"Mother!" Chi Yan stopped, turned his head and frowned: "Mother, don't meddle in my affairs!"

Yuning Jiao was stunned. She had never seen Chi Yan so cautious and alone, which made her even more curious. It's just that his son is so caring, so he won't encounter difficult things, right?

She smiled on her fair face and comforted: "Don't worry, mother will not interfere in your affairs, but Yan'er, you must not keep your sincerity. Once you are sincere to any child, you will have a weakness. That woman can manipulate you as she pleases, and mother won't see you get hurt in the slightest."

Chi Yan nodded indifferently, then walked away from Yuningjiao's room.

After Chi Yan left, the aunt beside him stepped forward: "Ma'am, this old slave is going to check now!"

Yuningjiao's eyes were sharp and bright, she pondered for a moment and said: "Don't provoke Yan'er, let him do it, and when he speaks, it's not too late to make a move!"

"Yes!" Aunt replied.

……

At Shen Shi, Liang Xia washed the dishes and chopsticks, told Xiao Qing, and was ready to go home.

Seeing that she was leaving, Mrs. Zhou quickly gave Liang Xia the half piece of meat left over from noon, and asked her to take it back.

Liang Xia didn't want it, she pushed and said, "Xiao Chengniang, take it back quickly, I absolutely can't take it, you guys are so kind to me, if I take this meat again, I'm not human anymore, take it back quickly."

Mrs. Zhou smiled kindly: "My mother asked me to give it to you. Take it quickly, or you will be made things difficult by your mother-in-law again when you go back. With this half piece of meat, your father-in-law and mother-in-law will have nothing to say."

Liang Xia's heart warmed up. The aunt was so thoughtful that she was speechless. The aunt was so kind to Qin Lan and her husband. She really knew her parents-in-law very well. Half a piece of meat was more than her daily wages. The father-in-law and mother-in-law must be happy when they see it.

She reached out to pick it up: "Xiao Chengniang, thank you for me! I will work hard to cook and collect cornel for you. If you have anything to do, just ask my aunt to tell me to do it."

Zhou smiled: "You're welcome, take it, sister-in-law."

Liang Xia silently accepted, she will definitely work hard for the aunt, even if she doesn't give her a penny, she will work with the aunt in the future.

She left Xiao's house with the meat in her hand, thinking that her aunt said that her wages were counted once every ten days, and she felt happy. Not only could she have food every day, but she could also earn money. It would be great if Liu Mei also had food.

I was walking back on the village road, I hadn't seen my children for a day, and I missed them very much.

On both sides of the village road, there are overgrown forests and weeds everywhere.

Suddenly, a person jumped out from the grass.

"Little Ruiniang, what are you carrying?"

Liang Xia was startled, she shrank back, and immediately relaxed when she saw the person coming.

"Mother, you...why are you here?" She asked impatiently.

Where did this jump out from? She was just thinking about something and didn't even notice where she came out from.

Sun Wanniang kept her eyes on the meat in Liang Xia's hand. She pointed to the half of the meat and asked, "Did you get this meat from Old Qiao's?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? How can I do that kind of thing? My aunt gave it to me. I work in her house, and she kindly gave it to me!" Liang Xia said.

Saying that, she continued to walk in the direction of home.

Sun Wanniang followed her and interrogated her carefully: "Nonsense, is that old stuff so good? You must have taken it secretly! But, you are right, you worked for her family, so much meat was dried in her yard, no Take it for nothing!"

Liang Xia stopped in her tracks, recalling that the aunt's house had indeed dried a lot of meat, and mother had never been to Lao Qiao's house, so how did she know the meat was dried in the yard?

"Mother, tell me the truth, did you follow me to my aunt's house?"

Sun Wanniang glanced at her mouth, rolled her eyes at Liang Xia, turned her back and said in distaste: "Their family's two shabby thatched cottages are so shabby, who would go to her house, hum!"

Hearing what she said, Liang Xia still doesn't know anything. She must have followed her in the morning. Yesterday, Er Jing and his wife said at her house that if mother wants to work, she can do it by herself. How can she really come with her? up.

Liang Xia was so angry with her that she asked angrily: "Mother, how can you follow me? My aunt's family is so kind to me. Why are you still thinking about what happened yesterday? Didn't the younger siblings say that you will come back when there is a shortage of people?" Didn't you also agree, if you don't come to mention this matter to the aunt, why are you following me again!"
