The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 230 The collision in front of the Buddhist hall, the ancestors (2)
The maid who led the way left and left. Li's mother-in-law stepped forward and said to a big maid who came out of the Buddhist hall: "Girl, our wife and miss, come to pay respects to the ancestors, please let me know."

As he spoke, he took out a few taels of silver from his cuff and put it in the palm of the big maid.

The big servant girl weighed the two pieces of silver in her palm, and immediately showed a big smile.

Facing Li Shi and Chu Qing, he leaned over: "It turns out that the eldest grandma and the young lady are here. The ancestor just got up, and he was still thinking about the two of you before. The slave girl will go in and see if the ancestor has packed up. Please grandma and Miss, wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he turned and entered the Buddhist hall.

"This girl is clever." There was a softness in Li's smile.

Chu Qing's eyes flickered, but he didn't express his attitude towards this big maid.However, what made her curious was that, as the big maid beside her ancestor, could she smile just because of a few taels of silver?

The big maid walked around the Buddhist hall and entered the back room with the broken silver in her hand.

On weekdays, the ancestor of the Chu family, Mrs. Zhang, worshiped the Buddha in the front Buddhist hall and lived in the back room.Beside her, apart from the two nuns who have been close to her all her life, there are two big maids, four cleaning maids, and a rough envoy.

And the big maid who came out to deal with Li Shi and Chu Qing was the ancestor's favorite.The name is He Su.

He Su walked outside the back room door, opened the curtain and went in, and the sound of conversation came out.

"Old Ancestor, Grandma and Young Miss are here. They also rewarded the servants with some money."

"It's for you, you can keep it." An old woman's voice came out.The tone of voice is gentle, and the breath is quite full. It can be seen that the old man's body is still very good.

At this time, another old woman's voice sounded: "Madam, do you want them to come in?"

Mrs. Zhang's voice sounded again: "Wait, wait until I finish my breakfast."

"This..." The voice hesitated: "Miss is the future princess after all, if..."

Mrs. Zhang snorted: "I'm not married yet, is it possible that I'm going to put up the airs of the princess? The whole family will hold it? This will only hurt her. Now, thinking about how to flatter her, it's better to spend money Go and invite a few nuns who came out of the palace to train them well. In the future, if you enter the royal family, you won't be looked down upon."

"My wife is right. But the grandma still has the blood of our main family in her stomach."

This time, Mrs. Zhang was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "Wait first, you can't get angry as soon as you come back. The boss did not miss a few lessons for them yesterday. Today I am pampering, I am afraid The other rooms will feel that our main room is biased."

"My wife still thinks more. I hope this grandma and miss can understand your painstaking efforts."

Mrs. Zhang sighed with emotion: "It doesn't matter whether anyone understands my painstaking efforts. The important thing is that our Chu family can continue to prosper and prosper."

The old woman who had been talking also sighed.Then he said to He Su: "Go ahead, let them wait for a while."

He Su leaned over, opened the door curtain, and walked out from the house.

Outside the Buddhist hall, Chu Qing tidied up the few strands of Li's hair, and He Su's voice sounded from behind: "Grandma, Miss. The ancestor is washing up, it will take a while, please wait a moment He Su is here, apologizing to the two of you."

"Miss He Su, you are too polite. We came early, so it was right to wait." Chu Qing looked at He Su with a half-smile.

That inexplicable gaze made He Su suddenly feel guilty.

Hastily avoiding the piercing eyes, He Su leaned over: "The servant girl will go to work first, the old ancestor is ready, and the servant girl will come to invite the eldest grandma and young lady."

After He Su finished speaking, he bowed and stepped back, entering the Buddhist hall.

The smile on the corner of Chu Qing's mouth restrained, and he said to Li Shi, "Mother may stand for a long time?"

Li smiled gently, raised her hand and patted Chu Qing's bun: "Don't think I'm so fragile, I lay down all night last night, and standing up today is also very good."

As she said that, she said with some concern: "I just don't know what the old ancestor thinks. I don't know if it will make things difficult for you and me."

Chu Qing looked at Li Shi and thought, "It seems that this old ancestor left a very deep impression on Li Shi, and she still feels uneasy when she thinks about it."

"I think the ancestor just wanted to balance." Chu Qing comforted.

"Balance?" Li looked at Chu Qing.After she passed out yesterday, she didn't know what happened, and Chu Zhengyang didn't mention it after returning, so she didn't realize what the 'balance' meant.

Chu Qing shook his head slightly: "Yesterday we just arrived in Hexi, and the Patriarch punished Chu Zhengxiong's family and gave his daughter special treatment. This item, falling into the eyes of other houses, will naturally make people feel unhappy. If we When we came to see our ancestor, she entertained us with a pleasant face, and if the news spread, wouldn’t it make everyone feel more resentful towards the main house. So, naturally, we should be left in the cold first, and the other houses’ dissatisfaction should also be appeased.” And, I’m sure, That maidservant, He Su, must be hiding in the dark at this moment, carefully observing our every move, so as to report it to the ancestors.

In the last sentence, Chu Qing didn't say that she didn't want Mrs. Li to get involved in these mundane affairs during this special period.

But she glanced at Jiujiu, who nodded knowingly, confirming her guess.

The presence or absence of He Su can't be hidden from Jiujiu who knows martial arts.

Li's eyes were lowered, thinking about what Chu Qing said, and finally nodded: "It should be the same. If the main house can't handle things fairly, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the other houses. Brothers will not get along, and what kind of family glory will it bring."

Chu Qing smiled: "Has mother started to think about being a housekeeper now?"

"Poor mouth." Li nodded her clear nose: "Our family used to be a family of three, so we didn't have so many troubles. But I have been in charge of the family for many years, and I know that when dealing with servants, we must be fair and strict, with both grace and power. Although Different, but the principle is the same.”

"My daughter has been taught." Chu Qing smiled and leaned over. That bright smile made Li's mood much better.

He Su, who hid in the dark and listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter, nodded slightly, feeling a little bit of affection and admiration for the sudden appearance of the eldest grandma and young lady.

Just as he was about to return to the back room and report everything he had heard to his ancestors, a figure suddenly appeared in the garden, but He Su stopped in his tracks and continued to watch behind the wall.

In the garden, two women with different appearances came out first, one red and one white, and behind them, each followed by a servant girl.

Not only did He Su see their appearance.The same goes for Chu Qing and Li Shi.
