Inheritance policy

Chapter 73 Situation

The pen in his hand paused, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a vague shadow passing behind the screen.

Putting the pen down, Zizhu's pen holder lightly touched the blue-and-white porcelain pen holder, and there was a crisp sound. Zhang's mother paused, and turned around the screen the next moment, revealing a smiling face. Seeing that Xingzhao was writing, he felt a little more at ease, and said, "Miss Si is quiet here. A few days ago, there was a kind of curly-haired puppy in the market. If Miss Si feels bored, let How about Sifang to buy a few to play with?"

The biological mother is going to leave, which family's children still want to tease cats and dogs?

Xingzhao lowered his eyelids, smiled inwardly, closed the pages of the book, and asked Lian Rong to sit down for Mama Zhang, and asked Lotus Ye to serve hot tea and snacks, and replied in a weak voice: "Huaishanyuan has always been free-spirited. Man, my mother also knows about Ah Wu's recent worries, and wants to ask for peace of mind. Thanks to my grandmother, I sent someone to discipline me at noon, and it was very effective. Now the little maids who are seven or eight years old and working as handymen are very well-behaved gone."

Zhang's mother was taken aback for a while, she looked a little embarrassed, she covered it up after a while, sat on the stool with her hands tied, and said with a smile: "The old slave can't speak, so I can only comfort the fourth girl. I write and draw on weekdays. A picture, no matter how bad it is to read a Buddhist scripture, is the best. Meditate and concentrate. The house is full of blood relatives. Mrs. Tai can't harm you, right? I want the old slave to tell the fortune-telling by Mrs. Jing. Fate is only six catties, but you are a full seven catties."

While talking, Zhang Mama seemed to let go a little bit, and regained her old vigilance, and said: "Mrs. Min will post a post saying that the next one is coming, so Mrs. Tai sent an old slave to ask you, how can you support me?" Can't hold on to the entertainment tomorrow?"

Mrs. Min coming?
That's right, Fang Qi's sisters all died unexpectedly, so how could Xin Zhonghou's wife not be in a hurry.

If she can't hold on to the social gathering tomorrow, she is asking her if she has thought about it, whether she should whitewash the peace in front of outsiders!
"Today, the third elder sister came to accompany Ah Wu and had a long talk, and she felt much better. Mrs. Min is the mother's handkerchief, and the Min family is also a good family member of the He family. If Ah Wu does not go to see the ceremony, Isn't it a breach of etiquette?" Xing Zhao's tone was very calm, with a little bit of the uneasiness and uneasiness of a little lady.

Mother Zhang nodded with a smile, relaxed, then looked at Lianyu Lianrong standing next to her, and sighed slightly with emotion: "These two girls have been serving you since Rongshoutang, and now they are counted It's fifteen or sixteen, right?"

Xing Zhao froze and didn't answer.

"I remember that Lianyu is bigger than Lianrong." Halfway through the conversation, Zhang's mother paused, and then said with a smile: "The fourth girl is still a seven or eight-year-old girl, so she shouldn't have sex with you." This accent, so Mrs. Tai intervened, but it's always someone in your house who always wants to tell you."

"There is a steward in our Tongzhou Zhuangzi. He is not too old. He looks like he is in his early 30s. His wife died and left a son. Although his legs and feet are not flexible, he has a good brain. The farmer in our Tongzhou yard He is in charge of everything." Zhang's mother looked at Lianyu, although she was smiling, but there was no joy in her eyes, "This marriage was favored by Mrs. Tai a few years ago. , definitely can’t be settled at this time, but it’s still necessary for the two families to communicate with each other, right?”

Zhang's mother's tone was non-negotiable, and she clearly said that Mrs. Tai had already taken a fancy to the marriage, and Xingzhao was not allowed to intervene.

Xing Zhao lowered his eyes and listened quietly, his whole body froze.

Mrs. Tai still doesn't plan to let Lianyu go!

In the previous life, because of her misdeeds, Lianyu was punished to marry that old and lame widower. Could it be that the tragedy in this life is going to happen again!

Lian Yu also froze at the back, not daring to raise her head let alone speak, she buried her head and stared at the bright blue bricks on the ground.

Lian Rong looked anxious, and was about to come out to speak, but Lian Yu grabbed the corner of her clothes.

"It's not a bad thing for the first-class maid next to my wife to marry a steward." Xing Zhao said in a low voice with his head down, describing it as very pitiful, and when he looked up again, he was already in tears, "At least Lianyu is also by Ah Wu's side. After serving for so many years, Ah Wu was young and did not expect to arrange the marriage of the people around her. Lianyu's dowry box was not ready. Now Ah Wu has to observe filial piety for another three years. When Lianyu returns, she will be with her widowed mother How about discussing it? After all, it is a lifelong event, and Ah Wu will reply in three days, anyway, there is no rush at this moment, right?"

Mama Zhang also felt sorry for Zhengyuan, and Xingzhao was the one she had seen since she was a child. The little lady's eyes were full of tears, and she didn't dare to blame Mrs. Tai for being too defensive. Her heart softened, she sighed, and lowered her eyes. Voice: "It's a good fortune for Lianyu to be able to get married smoothly. Go and see the servants in Wusong Mountain's other courtyard. They are crazy, dumb, how many straw mats are left. "Life" leaned closer, his voice lowered, "Mrs. Tai is very merciful, it's lucky that Lianyu was not drugged!"

Lianyu knew too many secrets, and putting it beside Xing Zhao in He's house was a bundle of gunpowder that would explode at some point.

Xing Zhao blinked, nodded slightly, and greeted Zhang's mother to eat white jade crisps. Zhang's mother exchanged a few words, then got up and said goodbye.

Xing Zhao said that his chest was tight, and asked He Xin to send it.

Xing Zhao stared straight at Zhang's mother disappearing into the darkness of night, her expression faded away, and her sadness was no longer seen.

Lianrong held it in for a long time, jumped out when Mama Zhang left, and finally knew how to lower her voice and mournfully said: "Zhuangzi in Tongzhou is the hardest place in our family! He is in his early 30s and his legs and feet are not flexible. A widower, if Lian Yu marries that kind of person, it's simply that Mrs. Tai is ruining her!"

Xing Zhao didn't say anything, he looked up at Lian Yu, his eyes were red, but he didn't intend to speak.

I also saw the lotus leaves standing in front of the museum cabinet with bundles of hands, looking at the nose, nose and heart.

"He Ye, what do you mean?" Xing Zhao had an idea in his heart, and he was concerned about paving the way.

He Ye was named, a little surprised, she is the person who knows the least in this room, but the recent tense atmosphere in the mansion, the subtle alienation between Huaishan Garden and Rongshou Hall, and the incident this morning The sudden ban made her feel terrified.

"Sister Lianyu is going to get married after all, but she has been married so far away." He Ye tentatively opened her mouth, and seeing Xingzhao's expression remained normal, she continued, "It's not convenient to say anything, Sister Lianyu is the first to marry." , and then there will be a second, and a third, and in the end, there will be nothing left around you."

The words are rough, but the truth is not rough.

Xing Zhao nodded with a sigh of relief. Lian Yu's silence meant that she accepted the result, but it also meant that she was willing to sacrifice for Huai Shan Yuan.

"I will protect lotus jade, lotus seed paste, and lotus leaves." Xing Zhao looked at the moon-star-sparse sky and said softly, "It's too late. Mrs. Min will come tomorrow, but the sky cleared up this afternoon. Seeing the stars means that even if tomorrow will not continue to be sunny, it will not be cloudy and rainy."

The maidservants remained silent, and heard Xing Zhao's soft question from behind: "Have you put Man'er back?"

Lianyu shook her head and replied: "No, the person in charge didn't come to ask. The main courtyard is now under the care of Mrs. Huang. It doesn't matter if there is a second-class maid. She is locked in the firewood room."

Xing Zhao got up slowly, put the felt blanket covering his body on the kang, and said slowly: "Go and rest."

Several girls left in response.

After tossing and turning all night, I fell asleep lightly at Yinshi.

Woke up early the next morning, the sun will just show its head from the east, and Huaishan Garden began to come in and out. Xing Zhao told the small kitchen that today I want to eat ginger juice asparagus porridge, vegetarian three-mushroom pot, and There are grilled mushrooms and stewed emerald white jade tofu pot.After a while, I went to Si Fang to ask for five big pieces of rosin, saying that one piece would be used to soften the strings, one piece would be used to figure out whether it could be used to make incense, and three pieces would be used to see if I could make Chengxintang paper. The house steward's mother was embarrassed to say that she had never taken so much at once, and Lianrong was very rambunctious in the house secretary for a while.

When the matter spread to Rongshoutang, Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded after hearing it. Being able to make a request meant that she was compromising. Someone brought a message to Huaishanyuan, "It's an elegant thing to make paper from rosin. If the four girls make it, they will share a knife and come to Rongshou Hall."

She only regards Xing Zhao's abnormality as the willfulness and resistance that erupted suddenly after being suppressed in her heart by a little lady for a long time, and Mrs. Tai is willing to tolerate such little willfulness and petty revenge from her little granddaughter.

Several dishes have to be stewed for a long time to get enough flavor, so naturally more firewood is needed.

When the cook arrived at Huaishan Garden with the firewood, Xing Zhao changed his mind with a straight face: "I eat vegetarian dishes every day, but today I'm going to switch to vegetarian chicken and stewed delicacies, try my best to make it taste like meat, Otherwise, you will suffer."

The cook had no choice but to put the firewood in the corner, wipe off the sweat with a lot of firewood, and then started the stove.

Xing Zhao is serving filial piety and cannot eat meat.Mrs. Tai's body needs to be nourished, she can't eat greasy food, and she can't stop nourishing. She has to eat chicken soup and vegetables every day.Even if there are guests, Xing Zhao can only hide in Huaishan Garden and finish his meal, which is better than going to Rongshou Hall to wait for the guests.

After lunch, Zhang's mother came to invite her. Xing Zhao was full of displeasure, and looked at her with tears in his eyes: "I didn't sleep well last night. I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. I was thinking about something, and I was afraid and anxious." Mrs. Min hasn't come yet. Why can't I wait for Ah Wu to rest for a while? Let Mrs. Min see Ah Wu's face livid, and think that something is wrong with Ah Wu."

Seeing the black and blue under the bright eyes of the little lady, Mama Zhang couldn't bear it, so she had to say: "A letter from Shuangfu Street said that Mrs. Min is going to the entrance of Jiujing Hutong. There is still a moment at most." It's time to get home, this is the first time we have a visitor after the eldest lady left, so we must treat him well."

Xing Zhao nodded again and again, and said directly: "You can't miss it, you can't miss the time!"

Mrs. Min's carriage "gululu" entered Jiujing Hutong, and the mother-in-law prepared a small cart and waited at the second gate. Without the head wife, you can't invite guests to Dongkuayuan, right?

Mrs. Min went all the way to Rongshou Hall, first met with Mrs. Tai, and before she sat down on the scarlet cushion, she was about to get to the point, when she heard shouts from outside: "Huaishanyuan is flooded!" ! Huaishanyuan is flooded!"

　I originally wanted to watch the third watch today. .However, there are too many things, sorry dears!Make up for it sometime!
