Wonderful Puppet

The autumn leaves were turning yellow and the days were getting cooler day by day. When the mansion started making quilted jackets, Lei Geer's full moon wine was ushered in.

Yu Shi was finally able to get up, and walked around the flower hall where the banquet was held with Lei Ge'er in his arms, beads of sweat were already dripping on his forehead.

Lei Ge'er was wrapped in a bright red Kesi blanket, revealing a small face with some flesh, but his eyes were closed and he was sleeping soundly, and his eyelashes were exceptionally long.

Everyone knows that Lei Ge'er was born prematurely in July, but he just said happy words and kept away from him, not getting close, for fear of passing on the cold and sickness to the child.

Yu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but her complexion was indescribably sallow.

Everyone looked at it with different expressions.

"Yu Shi, take Brother Lei back to Nuan Pavilion, it's cold, don't freeze the child." The old lady said.

Mrs. Yu hurriedly responded, blessed everyone, and left with Lei Ge'er in her arms. When she crossed the threshold, her feet softened and she staggered.

Yu'er was so scared that her face turned pale: "Grandma!"

The sound of silk and bamboo in the hall slowed down, and people heard it.

Yu Shi glared at Yu'er, and left in a little embarrassment.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded again, and the old lady raised her glass and called everyone to eat.

People chatted in twos and threes, and the banquet became lively.

Zhen Miao's table was set in the corner, and she was eating food in silence, when there were whispers.

"Tsk tsk, it's not good to see Grandma Yu like that."

"Not only is it not good, I heard that the postpartum hemorrhage almost killed half my life, so I was able to get out of bed."

After the women drank the wine, their voices also became louder.It wasn't obvious that the scene was lively, but Zhen Miao's table was close to each other, and the girls could not help stopping their chopsticks as they heard it.

"Mother and child are safe, that's considered a blessing."

"What a blessing, Mrs. Yu injured her body at a young age, and it will be difficult for her to be an heir, and her body is weak, so in the future, it's hard to tell who that child is called mother—"

Zhen Miao frowned and looked at the person who spoke.

But there was a slap, and looking back, Wen Yaqi's emerald shrimp caught in the chopsticks fell into the soup bowl, and the soup splashed onto the skirt of his clothes, making a mess.

A low cry.Then Wen Yaqi blushed and looked at the crowd anxiously.

Wen Yahan's face darkened.

Zhen Miao is the leader among the girls at the table who have not left the pavilion, she hurriedly said to the girl standing behind Wen Yaqi: "Take Biao girl down quickly and change your clothes."

Wen Yaqi blushed and left with her head bowed.

On such an occasion, the young girl lost her composure, Wen Yahan held back her anger, and before the banquet was over, she excused herself to be unwell and left early.

Back to Chenxiang Garden.Facing Wen Yaqi, he reprimanded: "Yaqi, what's the matter with you being so good today?"

"Me. I just heard the woman say it was terrible, and my hands trembled. Good sister, please forgive me."

Wen Yahan sighed, hating iron for being weak and said: "Yaqi, do you know that we are dependent on others, even if we walk half a step longer or say a word, it is wrong. If you are still as loose as you were at home It's a disgrace to our entire Wen family and aunt!"

"It's not as scary as the third sister said—" Wen Yaqi pinched the corner of her clothes.He muttered unconvinced.

Wen Yahan was immediately annoyed: "Yaqi, if you still have this kind of thinking, I will write to my mother immediately, and you should go back to Haiding Mansion as soon as possible!"

Now Wen Yaqi was really frightened, she tugged on Wen Yahan's sleeve pitifully begging for mercy.

Only then did Wen Yahan calm down, picked up the embroidery needle and threaded the thread against the light.

"Third sister, you never leave your needle and thread every day, and you embroider such small scriptures, don't hurt your eyes."

"I'm used to it." Wen Yahan said lightly.

Wen Yaqi smiled: "Third sister, why don't you relax and teach me."

"Huh?" Wen Yahan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Her fourth younger sister seldom sews needles and threads on weekdays, and it would take her ten days and a half months to teach her how to tie a knot, but today she took the initiative to learn it.

This is the best thing, Wen Yahan smiled: "What do you want to learn?"

Wen Yaqi made a gesture: "Just embroider the kind of embroidery with one word on both sides. Third sister will teach me how to embroider the word 'Qi' first."

"Well, it's like this..."

One of the two sisters taught patiently, the other studied hard, and the same flowery faces were quiet and beautiful.

The little maid serving tea couldn't bear to be disturbed, so she quietly retreated.

The banquet on the other side was over, but Zhen Yan was not in a hurry to leave, and went to visit Yu Shi with Zhen Miao.

The brazier was already lit in the warm pavilion, and the hot air greeted them. Both of them took off their cloaks and talked with Mrs. Yu.

It's just that Mrs. Yu obviously talked a lot less, and her energy was not good anymore, Zhen Yan squeezed Zhen Miao's hand, and got up to leave.

The two walked towards Hefengyuan together, chatting while walking.

"I heard that there is an extra Aunt Li in the courtyard?"

Zhen Miao nodded, "She is a great beauty."

"Eh? How's mother?"

"Mother spared her greetings, out of sight and out of mind." Zhen Miao smiled.

Zhen Yan slapped her: "You heartless girl, mother is self-willed, so you don't stop me? My aunt should abide by her rules, and if she doesn't come to pay her respects, after a long time, she really treats herself as an important person to serve her." master."

Zhen Miao blinked her eyes: "Second Sister, I think it's good that my mother is like this. Since I saw something that made me feel uncomfortable, why bother to make myself unhappy because of something."

If the jumping is annoying, just pull it out and sell it.

As for the third master getting angry, hehe, let him die!

Zhen Yan shook her head helplessly: "You are really a silly girl who is not enlightened. My mother is only in her 30s now, and she will have a long life in the future. Is it possible that she has always been so stiff with her father?"

Zhen Miao did not make a sound.

She knows some opinions, although they are direct sisters, they will never be the same, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, but everyone has their own views and ways of living.

Could it be that a man who is too muddy to support a wall should raise his eyebrows with him?

When the two pushed the door open, they saw Wen Shi kicking his legs in neat clothes.

Zhen Yan silently took a step back and rubbed her eyes.

Uh.It must be the wrong way for her to push the door.

Zhen Miao greeted her with a smile like a flower: "Mother, how are you doing?"

Wen wiped off his sweat: "It's really good. I stretched my muscles and bones, stretched my whole body, and felt a lot better in my heart. Miaoer, do you think the more you practice, the stronger you will become? This morning I ate half a bowl of rice too much."

"That's right, mother, it's not like you don't know that my daughter is much stronger than ordinary little ladies."

The mother and daughter talked lively.Zhen Yan's expression twisted for a moment.

Comparing strength... Is this really something to be proud of?

She has only been married for more than two months, who can tell her what happened at home?

"Mom, you're just starting to practice, so it shouldn't take too long, it's best to progress step by step." Zhen Miao sat at Wen's feet and helped her rub her legs.

"Yan'er, come and sit down." Wen's smile waved to Zhen Yan.

Zhen Yan took a deep breath and walked over.

"How is uncle treating you?"

Zhen Yan was helpless: "Mother, you ask these questions every time."

Zhen Miao got up and said with a smile: "Second Sister, Mother may want to ask other questions, she thinks I'm in the way. You talk slowly, I'll go back to Ningshou Hall."

"What are you rushing back to do?" Zhen Yan was a little bit reluctant.

Married daughters can come back except on certain days.It's only if there is something wrong with the house.

Although they are both in the capital, it is not so easy for sisters to meet each other, especially since she is still a new wife, so she must be careful in every step.

"Go and go back."

Huabi personally picked the curtain for Zhen Miao: "Fourth Miss, walk slowly."

Zhen Miao thanked her, and led A Luan to Ningshou Hall.

After entering the courtyard gate, he went straight to his own residence, but was stopped by a maid named Xia Mei: "Miss Si, you are back. It just happened that the old lady was looking for you just now?"

"The old lady is looking for me?" Zhen Miao turned around, "Ah Luan, go and take out two jars of crispy radishes I pickled a few days ago, and send them to the second girl first."

"Yes." Aluan replied.

Zhen Miao followed Xia Mei to the main room.

After entering, I saw that apart from the old lady sitting at the top, the eldest lady Jiang was also there, and on the brocade tree at the bottom sat a neatly dressed woman, who was only slightly stained with brocade tree, which seemed to belong to Jiang's courtyard. Mammy Hua.

Zhen Miao invited Ann.

The old lady smiled and called her to her side, Zhen Miao sat down properly, and did not take the initiative to ask what was the matter.

It was Jiang Shi who asked first: "Just now I heard from Bai Shao that you went to see Yu Shi with Miss Yan?"

"Well, seeing that my sister-in-law was not in good spirits, I went to my mother's place with my second sister. I thought that I made some pickled radishes not long ago, so I can bring some back to my second sister."

After hearing this, Jiang's smile deepened: "Madam, let me tell you, daughter-in-law, Miao girl is very talented in cooking, and she can often cook unique food."

Zhen Miao frowned quietly.

Uncle, what does this mean?

What she said was obvious, Zhen Yan was still at Wen's place, it was not easy for the sisters to meet, so they rushed over.

He looked at the old lady suspiciously.

The old lady's expression couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang explained: "It's like this, Miao girl, your eldest sister is pregnant and has a terrible embarrassment. At that time, when Mrs. Yu was embarrassed, it was thanks to you to cook a few things to survive. My uncle wanted to invite you to serve as her servant. Stay here for a while."

Zhen Miao felt displeased.

It is understandable that Mrs. Jiang feels sorry for her daughter, but let her, a girl in the next room, go to the Minister's Mansion to serve others, and instead of asking her first, she went to the old lady directly. Isn't this equivalent to driving ducks to the shelves?

If it was Zhen Yan, she wouldn't say anything else, but Zhen Ning, in her memory, the two of them didn't have much contact with each other, and even the only time they met recently, she could vaguely feel dislike for her, so now she wants to take care of her? ?

Zhen Miao smiled.

Mrs. Jiang, it is expected that she will agree.

She is the future hostess of the uncle's mansion, and her mother, Mrs. Wen, might not be able to make a living under her hands.

This is the mansion, whether it is the caressing Li family or the seemingly generous and virtuous Jiang family, who doesn't have their own thoughts and calculations.

"Grandmother and granddaughter don't know what a body can and cannot eat. What if something goes wrong?"

Before the old lady could speak, Mrs. Jiang pointed at Madam Hua: "Mama Hua is proficient in these things, let her go with you when the time comes." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it Tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.)
