Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 52 Return
Why is Zhichun chatting with him alone in his new summer clothes?

Ji Qing thought about the last time when Mrs. Tai wanted to tell the eldest lady that Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette came to the house to propose marriage to Mr. Qiao of Chengguo Duke's house, and she became convinced.

After putting the new summer clothes back into the cabinet, Ji Qing tidied herself up a little, then went out to find Yao's mother and told her exactly what Zhichun said in the morning.

After listening to Ji Qing's narration of Zhichun's words, Yao's mother already understood in her heart that the eldest lady wanted the concubine to handle the matter quietly. After all, it concerned the second concubine.

After listening to what Yao's mother said, Mrs. Yao sighed: "I originally thought that the eldest daughter-in-law would not have a big vision after being protected by the boss all these years. With the addition of the second and third daughters-in-law, she would be able to grow up quickly; I didn't expect that The eldest daughter-in-law seems to be doing well lately, but the second daughter-in-law has only been in charge of a sewing room for a few months and she’s already making trouble for me."

Mother Yao served the wife a cup of tea and persuaded with a smile: "Princess, the second lady has never been a householder, so she probably got distracted."

"You don't need to persuade me, I don't know the virtue of the second daughter-in-law, she just has short-sightedness." The wife said flatly after taking a sip of tea.

The Zhang family is said to be from a scholarly family, but in fact it is just that Zhang's father studied to gain fame and become an official. This is the drawback of insufficient background.

"Since Xuan'er asked me to handle this matter, she definitely doesn't want her second aunt to be embarrassed and thrown out of the house. That's all. Let the second family come to my place tomorrow."

"Yes, I will go and invite the second lady tomorrow."

The second son's family needs to work hard. A hundred years from now, the Duke of Rongguo will split up the family. If the second son's family behaves like a housewife, the second son will not be laughed to death by his colleagues by then.

On the morning of the next day, after breakfast, the Madam sent the grandchildren away and met the Second Madam alone in Songhe Courtyard.

None of the servants serving in Songheyuan were in the room, and they didn't know what the Tai Madam said to the Second Madam. The Second Madam's eyes were red as if she had been crying when she left.

A few days later, an errand girl from the sewing room came to report, "Sister Zhichun, Mother Wan wants the eldest lady in the courtyard to pick up new summer clothes."

The little girl hugged Xin'er and ran away without waiting for Zhichun to ask why.

Mother Wan is the mother in charge of the sewing room. Since she asked the little girl to deliver the message, it seems that the wife has solved the problem and made new summer clothes for several other servants in the yard.

Although the servants didn't say anything when they got Xia Yi from inferior materials, they were still a little unhappy.

Now I have made summer clothes again, which is equivalent to giving out two more clothes this summer. Even if I don’t wear them, I can take them home and let my brothers and sisters at home wear them.

All of a sudden, the servants who had received inferior materials before were all happy, and they felt uncomfortable even when they visited other courtyards.

With such a big commotion in the sewing room, Mrs. Liu, the Duke's wife, also knew about the ridiculous things done by the second wife, Mrs. Zhang. However, since the wife had dealt with it, she couldn't stand up anymore.

Mrs. Liu is actually still a little unwilling to deal with the housekeeper's affairs, and has always wanted to take back her power. If Mrs. Zhang does such a thing next time, then the housekeeper's affairs will never fall into her hands again.

So Mrs. Liu ordered Shen's mother to keep an eye on Mrs. Dian and report in advance if anything went wrong.

This time I found out about the matter too late. The madam had already dealt with it privately, otherwise the sewing room would definitely be back in my hands.

……

"Miss, the Marquis of Huai'an has sent you a post." Zhiqiu came into the room with an invitation and said to Tang Bingxuan. When Tang Bingxuan heard that it was an invitation from the Marquis of Huai'an, she slipped on her shoes and said, "Show it to me quickly."

"It's Pingyu who's back. Pingyu invited me to be a guest at the Marquis' Mansion in Huai'an the day after tomorrow."

Tang Pingxuan opened the invitation and said happily to Zhi Qiu.

Zhiqiu was also very happy to know that it was Miss Pingyu who came back. Last month, Miss Ping wrote a letter saying that she was going back to Kyoto, but there has been no news. The miss has been worried for a long time.

"Miss Ping is finally back, so she doesn't have to worry about Miss Ping's safety on her way back to Beijing every day."

Miss Pingyu and her own daughter have been playmates since childhood. They are both familiar with each other's dark history of growing up, and they can be regarded as a pair of bad friends who love and kill each other.

As long as Miss Pingyu is there, the place will never be deserted, and it will be difficult for my own lady to sleep comfortably; as long as her own lady is there, Miss Pingyu can't wait to grow on her own lady and make a human-shaped pendant.

……

"Xuan'er, you're here. I've been waiting for you at home for a long time." When Ping Yu saw Tang Bingxuan enter her mansion, she hugged Tang Bingxuanxuan's arm and said coquettishly.

Tang Bingxuan looked at Pingyu and felt as if she had a daughter in her family. "You little girl followed your father to Huzhou to take up the post. You have grown a lot taller. Finally, you are no longer half a head shorter."

Tang Bingxuan is taller than the average boudoir lady. Pingyu is more than a month younger than Tang Bingxuan and has always been half a head shorter than Tang Bingxuan. This incident caused infinite pain in the heart of little girl Pingyu.

When Ping Yu heard Tang Bingxuan's words, she felt happy and proud, "That's right! After changing the soil and water from Kyoto to Huzhou, I have grown taller. I may be taller than you in the future."

The two of them have been playing together since they were young, and they don't hesitate to talk. Tang Bingxuan teased in a low voice: "Then forget it. If a woman is too tall, it will put pressure on the man. When your future husband is only of average height, then the two of them will stand How jarring they look together.”

"Okay, you're engaged now, and you're talking about vegetarianism. See if I don't deal with you." Pingyu seized the opportunity to tickle Tang Bingxuan.

The two of them chatted and laughed before arriving in Pingyu's yard.

The last time Tang Bingxuan came here was two years ago. The layout and furnishings in the yard were still the same as before, and they had not changed due to the absence of the owner.

"You wrote a letter last month saying that you were going back to Kyoto with your aunt. I have been waiting for your letter. After waiting for a long time, I couldn't get it. I thought something happened on the way and I was delayed."

"Hey, don't mention it. We, the two of us, were supposed to be able to return to Kyoto half a month ago, but I didn't expect that my lady, who has always been tough, caught a cold during the trip, which delayed the trip." Ping Yu was still a little annoyed when she said it now.

Tang Bingxuan looked at Ping Yu and said with concern: "So are you all right now? People who don't get sick usually become more serious when they get sick. You have to take good care of yourself."

Pingyu saw that her good sister was worried that she didn't care and said: "Don't worry, my health is already recovered. I also want to ask you to go horse riding in the countryside in a few days."

For a lazy lady like Tang Bingxuan, who can lie down instead of sitting, she will not let herself suffer. "The weather in June is very hot. Riding horses in the countryside is very hot and sunny. I won't go!"

Pingyu didn't say anything when her friend refused. Anyway, she just grabbed the person and left. When she got to the outskirts and didn't want to ride a horse, she could just watch her ride in the shade.
