Houmen maidservant, she doesn't want to be in power

Chapter 8 Miss Qi San
Zhihua laughed out loud, "Everyone says Erye is smart, but you think Erye has something wrong, that's really strange~"

Si Qi glared at Zhi Hua, then turned to Shi Jin, "Why did you say that?"

Since Shi Jin recounted what happened last night, and mentioned painting with blood, there was still a little fear in her eyes.

Siqi was also a little surprised.

She didn't know that Second Master still had such a side, and she was a little apprehensive, and finally told Shi Jin, "Don't spread this word, or it will make Second Master angry."

Shi Jin nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly collected dewdrops.

And when they were working hard, Cui'er and Bi'er, who were waiting in the pavilion in the distance, saw Da Furen's palm bead Qi Shu approaching gracefully.

The two were taken aback, kowtowed and saluted quickly, then retreated to the side in a solemn voice.

Qi Shu is the eldest daughter of the uncle, the third in the family, and she was raised with a lot of love and affection. Even in Beijing, she is quite talented.

Today she is wearing a plain white brocade skirt with dark flowers, with a white jade ring on her waist, and the ornaments on her head are simple and elegant. She holds a silk lady's flower-picking fan in her hand, which makes her look more noble and clean, and her eyes are clean.

The accompanying maid spread a ball of emerald brocade sable fur on the bench in the pavilion, and helped her to sit down gracefully, so that she could look around leisurely.

Qi Shu's eyes fell on the two unfamiliar maids, and she couldn't help frowning, "Which yard do you two belong to?"

Cui'er spoke cleverly, "Back to the third miss, the slaves are from the second master's yard. Because Siqi sister wants to collect dewdrops, I specially ordered the two of us to wait here..."

"Have you ever seen Second Brother?" Qi Shu asked impatiently.

"Miss Hui, the servants did not see the Second Young Master when they came." Cui'er replied.

Qi Shu looked at the servant behind him in doubt.That young man was Changqing from the second young master's yard. Seeing Qi Shu's doubts, he laughed along with him, "The second young master is probably hiding in the lotus pond again. Miss, wait a minute, this servant will call him out."

After all, he actually walked up the long bridge, put his hands together to his mouth, and yelled loudly toward the lotus pond, "Second Young Master~Miss calls you~"

The shouts in the distance obviously reached the ears of the chess players.

A few people were in doubt, when they saw the leaves of a lotus not far away moving, a lazy voice yawned first, and then with some dissatisfaction, "It's really unlucky, it's not bad to hide in this lotus pond." quiet!"

Accompanied by these words, a long Artemisia pole was erected from the lotus pond, and then the boat moved, and a young man in a moon-white brocade suit gradually appeared from the lotus pond.

Shi Jin couldn't help being a little stunned!
It can be seen that it is not appropriate for those who chew the master's tongue to hide anywhere...

Zhi Hua patted his chest, with a look of lingering fear, "We didn't say anything inappropriate, did we?"

Shi Jin covered his face, "I'm afraid I said..."

Siqi is not afraid, "Second Young Master is not troublesome, so it should be fine."

After finishing speaking, she twisted Zhi Hua's mouth again, "Let's see if you dare to talk too much in the future!"

Zhi Hua pulled the elder with a bitter face, "Sister Siqi, help~"

……

In the Yan'an courtyard, the second son Qi Tianyi and the third miss Qi Shu hurried towards the eldest lady's bedroom.

Mrs. Yao's son is sitting at a reunion table made of wild jujube branches and covered with brocade flower patterns, arranging the family books.

When she was sent into the mansion, the old lady handed over the power of the house to her, which was regarded as full of trust.She was also very grateful, holding back a strong energy to take care of the whole house in an orderly manner.

But in recent years, the Hou Mansion has gone from bad to worse. The outside looks full of flowers, but the inside is overwhelmed.However, the uncle is not familiar with common affairs, and only likes to have sex with Qingke. If the younger uncle did not pay a part of the money to the family every year, I am afraid that the lintel would have fallen by now.

For the false name of Mrs. Hou, she put in a lot of money just for herself.

Looking at Jinyi at the Houfu silk and satin shop, her brows have never been relaxed.

Hearing the maid Yanzhi told Yi'er and Shu'er to come, she stretched her eyebrows and raised her head from the ledger.

His eyes swept over Yi'er, and then fell on Shu'er.

She rubbed the center of her brows with some headaches, "Shu'er go down first, I have something to say to your brother."

Qi Shu originally wanted to hear what her mother had to say under the guise of her second brother.But as soon as the mother opened her mouth, she drove her away, feeling a little annoyed.

"Mother, you are really partial to brother. Could it be that your son can hear what you say, but my daughter can't?" She twisted her body and sat down on a hexagonal plum blossom sandalwood round stick by the table.

Hearing what his daughter said, Yao could not help but sigh.

Her daughter, when she was outside, was quite a bit of a family demeanor, but when she came back to her, she became a bit more like a little girl.

After brushing the broken hair at the sideburns for Qi Shu, Yao's voice softened a little, "Shu'er, you can't listen to these words. Just go and rest."

Seeing her mother's expressionless expression, Qi Shu had no choice but to stand up, and walked out reluctantly with her mouth hanging.

As soon as she left the house, she saw Brother Ying who was pulling the curtain for her.

Although Brother Ying is her mother's personal servant girl, she is not as valued by Yan Zhi as her mother.

As soon as she rolled her eyes, the round fan with the white jade wishful pendant in her hand touched Brother Ying's shoulder.

"Let's watch it carefully. When you are free, go to my place and serve some fruit wine for mother." Brother Chao Ying nodded, and Qi Shu turned around and left the yard of Yan'an Courtyard.

After watching Qi Shu leave, Yao Shi asked Qi Tianyi to sit beside him, and then started talking.

"Today, Wang Liu, who was working in Kang's mansion, asked his family to come back and forth with me, saying that Mrs. Zhang stuffed two beautiful concubines into Kang Wenxiu's room, and said that she wanted to let him know about his affairs. You can tell it's aimed at Shu'er."

Right now, Kang Wenxiu, the son-in-law of Hanlin scholar Kang Guangwen, is discussing marriage with his own Shuer, but this Zhang family is Kang Guangwen's step-wife, she is savage and fierce, and when she hears Kang Wenxiu's proposal for a good marriage, she uses her tricks.

In normal times, Mrs. Zhang would not even be worthy of carrying shoes for Mrs. Yao, but Kang Wenxiu is a talented student and a favorite student of Bailu Academy. Mrs. Yao is generally satisfied with this protégé.

Even if there is any hindrance, after Shu'er gets married, after a few years, the family will be separated, and Shu'er will naturally be able to live a comfortable life.But this piece of paper is not a thing, the son-in-law is not yet married, but there are two more people in this house, so I don't have to wrong my daughter.

Qi Tianyi pondered for a while, and then said, "What does mother think?"

"What could I have thought!" Mentioning this, Yao became angry, "I told your father about it, but he was lucky enough to drink a few drops of cat urine from Kang Guangwen, and he didn't even care about his own daughter. of!"

Seeing that his mother wanted to make arrangements for his father, Qi Tianyi couldn't help but interrupt, "In my opinion, this matter is not with Mrs. Zhang, but with Mrs. Kang Wenxiu. If he protects his younger sister, it would be a hundred Mrs. Zhang's. We're not afraid either. We're afraid that his bones will be weak and he won't be able to bear the pain of his stepmother..."

"Since ancient times, which man doesn't love beautiful wives and beautiful concubines!" Speaking of this, Yao's anger grew a little more, and he pulled out his voice, "Look at your father, and your brother! Which one?" Don't roll in the powder pile?! If Kang Wenxiu can really be Liu Xiahui like your second uncle, I will admire him!"

"If he really looks like Second Uncle, I'm afraid my sister will cry two barrels of tears..." Qi Tianyi couldn't help muttering.

In an instant, Yao Shi's cool eyes stared over, and Qi Tianyi was so frightened that he repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Seriously! I was thinking about this, you and that Kang Wenxiu are from Bailu Academy, why don't you fix a table, invite him to drink a pot of wine, and find out about that child's character by the way." Mrs. Yao Back to the topic and said.

"It's easy to handle. It's better to hit the sun if you choose a day. If I don't want to go today..." Qi Tianyi wanted to get up after speaking, but Yao Shi grabbed him, "What's the rush! It's only a few days later. When the time comes, I will bring Shu'er next door, just in time for Shu'er to look at each other."

Since ancient times, marriages between men and women were mostly blind marriages, and Yao shi certainly wanted his daughter to choose someone she liked.

Qi Tianyi nodded, agreeing.
