Soft-waisted little maid

It was night, everything was silent, the moon and stars were sparse.

Second Grandma Xue was wrapped in a thin autumn-colored shiny satin shirt and leaned against the bedside. In the warm candlelight, she half-squinted her eyes and carefully read a letter in her hand.

This was a letter sent home just yesterday. The second master, Sun Zhiheng, only wrote a few lines on it and asked her to take it and read it carefully for an afternoon.

When Grandma Guan had finished packing and was about to come in to turn off the lights for her, she was still holding it in her hand and looking at it.

"It's time for Second Grandma to rest, be careful your eyes are tired." Grandma Guan poured a glass of water for her.

Second Grandma Xue took the water, put down the letter, took a sip and said, "Second Master said he can arrive in the next two days."

"Ah? This!" Grandma Guan became nervous all of a sudden, and her face changed, "Then Second Grandma and us, that snow guest's matter."

Grandma Xue raised her eyes and said nonchalantly: "Why are you panicking? I think this is a good thing."

Grandma Guan was puzzled.

"The courtyard of the Sun Mansion is not big at all. It is not difficult to hide two people, but it is also easy to find them. If we come in the open, those two old guys will definitely not agree. If we come in secret, we will be arrested. I originally thought about the risk of crashing and looking for some excuse, but as soon as the second master came back, it would be easier to handle. This time, the master and the old lady will naturally have to make a big deal, and everyone will be there by then. Master, who would care where a little girl goes?" Grandma Xue put down the tea cup in her hand with a calm expression, "If you can't use hard ones if you are soft, find two strong and strict people to tie her up and throw them to that guy. Go ahead and let him cook the rice and see what flowers he can come up with."

Aunt Guan pursed her lips, and was finally able to say something objectionable.

She had watched Ms. The bright and straightforward lady from a noble family has completely disappeared, replaced by the cruel and terrifying Mistress Xue in front of her.

Grandma Guan was stunned when a maid outside told her that the third young master was here.

Mrs. Xue suddenly changed from the cold expression just now to a gentle and amiable mother. She motioned to Nanny Guan to help her sit up, and kept chanting: "Brother Zan, it's true, let him spend all these days and nights Don't go out, but you still have to come to my place. I don't know if there is something important, but you have to come see me."

That being said, anyone can see the smile on his face.

When Sun Zan came in, he bowed respectfully and said, "My son sends his regards to his mother."

"Come on, why are you wearing so little? It's already autumn. Even if it's still hot for a few days, it gets cold very quickly. Xiaoyu is the same. Now this job is getting more and more confusing."

"It doesn't matter, my son will be back soon." Sun Zan rejected the robe sent by Aunt Guan, "It's just that my son received a letter from his father today. What my father meant was that he came back with his fifth sister. Then I will pick up my son and go to Hangzhou together, but this way, my father will rarely take a break, and he will not be able to stay at home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Grandma Xue nodded: "He also told me that it doesn't matter. You happen to be in the examination room during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Naturally, your father and I have no intention of celebrating the festival. It's okay, I can't accompany you there. With your father here along the way, I feel more at ease."

Sun Zan knew what his parents meant, so he didn't plan to do anything more, and immediately prepared to say goodbye and go back. Before leaving, Grandma Xue was a little reluctant, and finally sent Aunt Guan out to see them off.

Grandma Guan agreed and carried a lamp to accompany her out.

Under the moonlight, she walked in front to illuminate the third young master Sun Zan, but she was preoccupied and almost tripped before taking two steps.

"Mammy, are you okay?" Sun Zan was also startled by her and reached out to help her, but Grandma Guan quickly dodged her. "Look at this old slave with his dim eyesight." After saying that, she smiled helplessly.

In fact, even if she didn't speak, Sun Zan could tell that something was wrong with her today.

As soon as he stepped through the door today, he saw that she and her mother seemed to be telling some secret that no outsider could hear, and they were covering their faces nervously, for fear that he would see any clues.

He originally didn't care about the affairs of these women in the backyard.

But until Grandma Guan sent him out, the tension on her face did not diminish even a little bit.Sun Zan guessed that what the two people just talked about should be related to him.

So he took the initiative to start a conversation: "I am going to Hangzhou Mansion this time. I will not be in the mansion for at least a month. My mother will have to take care of her."

"You're welcome, young master. This is what an old slave should do."

"Mommy, you are also an old man in the Sun Mansion. You also know the rules in this mansion. In the past two years, my mother has become more and more unreasonable. For my sake, please give her some guidance. Father I have been busy with official duties for many years and rarely come home. I guess it actually affects my mother's temper. You should try to persuade him so that he and his mother can become more distant." Sun Zan took the opportunity to have some fun and deliberately He glanced at her accidentally.

"You are right, Third Young Master."

Aunt Guan responded, her expression seemed to indicate that she had listened, and she smiled awkwardly at him.

Then the two of them were silent all the way until Grandma Guan dropped Sun Zan off and then turned back.
.
The day after receiving the letter from the second master of the Sun family, the entire Sun family immediately became busy.

The old man didn't even leave the house in the morning, leaving behind his old friends who were fishing and playing chess. The old woman even woke up early every day, for fear that her second son's carriage would already be at the door of her house when she woke up. .

On the surface, Mistress Xue didn't do anything, but in fact she was so busy that she asked Aunt Guan to take out the few new clothes that she had cut and not wear yet this spring. She also asked people to go out and buy new jewelry to marinate. Even Grandma Guan next to her became busy. She didn't know where she was and couldn't find anyone all day long.

The servant's yard was even busier.A new person finally came to live in Xue Ke's house. She was the youngest daughter of the Zhao family who was always in charge of flowers and trees in the Sun Mansion. She had an interesting name called Pan Pan, her eyes were as big as two grapevines, and her face was bigger than Her eyes are even rounder, which is indeed her name.

It's just that in the past few days, the two of them have been busy helping prepare the banquet for the second master's return home, so naturally they didn't have time to meet each other.

After looking around the whole house, in the end, only Sun Zan was the most idle.

Zhuang Xueguo also put off talking.

The rest of the time was spent sitting and reading in the study, which lasted all day.

In the blink of an eye, the day came when Mr. Sun came back.
