Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 5
Mao Shi and Yao Cunhui got up quickly, greeted each other with a smile and went out the door.The corner of Yao Cunhui's mouth twitched slightly: Luomeiyuan is really lively today!

"Sister-in-law is here, hehe, it's really rare to meet!" Mao greeted with a half-smiling smile, not forgetting the sarcasm in his words.

Mrs. Ma glanced at her lukewarmly, hummed in her nostrils, and said calmly as she went in, "Hui'er is my daughter, so I, as a mother, should come and see her!" He said and sat down, He tilted his head to look at Yao Cunhui, and asked her with a smile if she felt any discomfort, what would she like to eat tonight, etc., her words were very concerned, and she intentionally mentioned that she had just sent Qiao's mother over to visit.

Yao Cunhui laughed secretly: he really is a very face-saving person!If Mrs. Mao doesn't come, I'm afraid she won't come either?She wants face as long as she wants, and if she wants face, she has to exchange it with the lining!
Naturally, Yao Cunhui would not let her sing a one-man show, and answered softly with a weak smile, a motherly, loving and filial piety, enjoying herself happily. As expected, Mrs. Ma was very proud, and cast a provocative and carefree glance at Mrs. Mao.

Mao felt very bored, and laughed and gossiped without saying a word.

Mao Shi is the daughter of Yu Shi, a true lady of the family, and she has been very proud and conceited since she was a child.It's a pity that not all censors in the world are proud, and this Mao censor is a greedy person.Although the Yao family is an imperial merchant with a great business, but in the eyes of a truly scholarly family, they still cannot escape the word "merchant".

Mrs. Mao was not happy about this marriage.Husband's family is a merchant, and the husband is not the eldest son of the direct line, what a loss of face and status!In Mao's view, such a person does not have a single elegant bone on his body, and the smell of copper is disgusting. How can he know what "red sleeves add fragrance to reading at night", how can he sing and spread good stories with her poems?The young daughter's charming emotions were completely broken by the reality.

Over the years, that proud and conceited temperament gradually became bitter and mean.

When the former elder sister-in-law Yun was around, because she was the daughter of Yunxiang, she married into a merchant like her, and Mao just paid it back. Whenever she felt dissatisfied, thinking about Yun would make her feel better.

Speaking of it, the Yun family is even more worthless than her. If the father-in-law hadn't saved Yun Xiang's life back then, how could the dignified prime minister's daughter marry her uncle?
However, now that Mrs. Yun passed away and Mrs. Ma was the housekeeper, Mrs. Mao felt 1 dissatisfied, unwilling, and unwilling!A rough woman who came from a small family and a sour scholar, and was supported by a concubine. Why is she the head of the house?Mao hated her so much, she ridiculed her husband secretly, cried and quarreled, and had many quarrels, but so what?At most, it's nothing more than to vent a momentary grievance!

However, although Ma Shi's position as housekeeper cannot be shaken in essence, Mao Shi still keeps finding trouble for Ma Shi, and will definitely not let her have a good time!The two people have been fighting openly and covertly in the backyard of the Yao family for these years, and everyone has long been used to it.

Just as he was talking, Alan came back with something, and Mao was refreshed, took it from Alan's hand, and put it in Yao Cunhui's hand himself, with a friendly smile on his face and a gentle tone: "Hui'er, don't let me go!" I forgot to let the Polygonum rhizome take it to the kitchen to stew a cup of red dates, white fungus and lotus seed soup every day. I am used to eating it, but it is excellent. It replenishes qi and blood and nourishes the skin. It is just suitable for little girls like you! Don't be polite to the second aunt, When you run out, ask someone to get it from Second Aunt!"

Before finishing listening, Mrs. Ma's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and her body trembled slightly with anger. Before Yao Cunhui could say anything, Mrs. Ma couldn't help but take Yao Cunhui's hand and push the thing back to Mrs. Mao, and said with a fake smile: "Oh! , How embarrassing is this! Brother and sister should keep it to themselves, it is not easy for you, how can you spend money! Huier should make up for it, this is my negligence as a mother! Mingxia, from Minger Let’s stew a cup of bird’s nest every day and bring it to Miss Er!”

"Yes, Madam!"

"With my mother caring, Hui'er is already very sorry. How can I afford the big gift from my second aunt? Huier appreciates the kindness of my second aunt, but I dare not ask my second aunt to pay for it!" Yao Cunhui glanced at Mrs. Ma gratefully and smiled. Said to Mao.

Mao Shiben was irritated by Ma Shi's irritating words, but after hearing Yao Cunhui's words, he felt a little better, so he went down the steps and took the things back with a smile.She looked at Yao Cunhui, and smiled suddenly: "Hui'er is getting smarter and smarter, she really has a delicate heart, remember to go to the second aunt's place when you have time tomorrow! Sister-in-law, I won't bother you mother and daughter to catch up on the old days! "

"Brothers and sisters, go slowly!" The silk handkerchief in Ma Shi's hand was tightened suddenly, and he saw off the guests with a sullen face. He didn't mind Mao Shi feeling her disgust, and his sharp eyes swept over Yao Cunhui, and they flashed twice.

Yao Cunhui stood aside with obedient and docile downcast eyes, and secretly smiled bitterly in her heart, this second aunt is not a cheap lamp, and before leaving, she still has to provoke her!He really used himself as a gun!
As soon as Mrs. Mao left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent, the maids held their breaths and did not dare to move, and the red Polygonum was so nervous that its heart was caught in the air.

Everyone knew how Ma Shi treated Yao Cunhui when no outsiders were present.

At this time, Mrs. Ma was sullen, and her probing eyes kept scanning Yao Cunhui, as if she wanted to find out what had changed in her.Her gaze was too unscrupulous and sharp, without a trace of warmth, which made Yao Cunhui feel very uncomfortable, as if someone had stripped him of all his clothes.

Yao Cunhui couldn't help but secretly sighed that when Yun Shi passed away, the deity was still young, and under the tossings of a narrow and mean stepmother like Ma Shi, it is really not easy to grow up and marry without a psychopath!

It's a pity, Ma Shi is facing her now, not the original Yao Cunhui!
"Mother," Yao Cunhui raised her head and showed a bright smile to Mrs. Ma, her clear eyes went straight to Mrs. Ma, and smiled gratefully: "Hui'er is fine, really! Thank you mother for your concern!"

Yao Cunhui obviously saw the muscles at the corners of Ma Shi's mouth twitch twice, his pupils opened suddenly, and his body trembled slightly as if he had been taken aback. Qiao's mother, Mingxia, Rhizoma Polygonum, Hongzhi, etc. were all startled and slightly startled.

"It's good to be fine!" Madam Ma felt a little flustered for no reason, subconsciously looked away, and said calmly, "It's good to rest! You don't have to go to say hello tonight and tomorrow morning!"

In other words, don't forget to say hello tomorrow night!

"Yes, thank you mother." Yao Cunhui smiled softly.

Mrs. Ma suddenly felt uneasy, hummed slightly imperceptibly, and his eyes fell on Hongzhi who was still kneeling on the ground. Suddenly he was out of breath, and cursed: "This slave who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, how dare he climb up to the ground?" The master is domineering, mother Qiao, give me ten slaps!"

"Ma'am, please spare me!" Hong Zhi knelt on the ground for a while and no one paid any attention to it, she had long been secretly complaining, and when she heard that Ma Shi wanted to hit her for no reason, she burst into tears.

How could she not be aware of Da Furen's anger?The eldest lady blamed her for not reporting the change of her second young lady in time!But God knows, she was also completely ignorant of it in advance like the eldest lady!
"Twenty strokes!" Madam Ma hated disobedient slaves the most.He stared at her coldly and walked away.

Hongzhi's crying for survival came to an abrupt end, she watched the eldest lady go out with her head down, and let Qiao's mother slap her mouth hard.

The clear and crisp sound of skin-to-flesh clashing rang in the bottom of my heart, mixed with Hongzhi's dull and miserable cry, Yao Cunhui felt terrified and terrified when he heard it.After all, she is not a cruel person, and she can't deal with such a situation calmly.However, this is Ma Shi's order, and they are the ones who bite dogs, so what does it have to do with her?
"I'm a little tired, Rhododendron, help me in!" Yao Cunhui ordered weakly.

Hong Liao was startled, stepped forward to support her, asked softly and concerned, and helped her into the inner room.

After Qiao's mother finished the beating, she said coldly to Hong Zhi, who was limp on the ground, "Seek more blessings" and walked away.Red Polygonum came out from the room, glanced at her sympathetically, felt very uncomfortable, and quietly helped her go back to the house to apply medicine and rest.

Hot tears flowed down from Hongzhi, and she whispered "Thank you!" Today's accident almost destroyed all her confidence and self-esteem!
The next morning, Yao Cunhui got up early without saying hello, walking around the yard to relax and breathe the fresh morning air.This body is a little weak and needs to be strengthened.Before time travel, she herself came from a family of Chinese medicine. She grew up reading medical books and playing acupuncture with herbs. Although she only lived to be 28 years old, her medical skills are not simple, and she knows the condition of this body even more.

This small courtyard is as simple as the house. The gray and peeling courtyard walls are covered with deep and shallow moss, and occasionally two solitary and thin thatch sprang out, adding to the sense of desolation and dilapidation.

No other flowers and trees were planted in the yard, only a whole row of luxuriant oleanders taller than a human head was planted on the opposite side of the veranda.

It's mid-June, the narrow and long dark green leaves are squeezed together and full of life tension, and the branches are covered with charming red flowers, red flowers and green leaves, so bright and eye-catching!But they don't know that there is a dark murderous intent hidden in it.

Yao Cunhui sneered slightly, her stepmother really treated her and her sister with good intentions!
"Second Miss is here!" A daughter-in-law's voice sounded neutral, and the half-old vermilion lacquered courtyard door was pushed open from the outside.

Yao Cunhui turned her head slightly, and it was from Li Lin's house, the daughter-in-law who ran the kitchen, and she was holding a small gray-brown cylindrical bamboo and rattan suitcase in her hand.

"So it's Li Lin's sister-in-law, but what's the matter?" Yao Cunhui's long eyelashes trembled, and he rolled his eyes and asked with a smile on purpose.In fact, as soon as she saw her, she already understood why she came here.

The Li Lin family was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile, raised the suitcase in his hand and said with a smile: "No, the servant girl has brought bird's nest porridge to the young lady. This is what Qiao's mother in the lady's courtyard personally ordered. Woolen cloth!"

Tete from Li Lin's family bit the word "personally" hard, with an undisguised sense of kindness and preaching in his tone.

Yao Cunhui sneered secretly, another lackey of Ma Shi!Do you want her to be grateful for such a little thing?The Yao family has plenty of money, so what should she be grateful for as a daughter of the Yao family who eats some bird's nest porridge?

Moreover, it seems that Ma Shi was talking about bird's nest yesterday, but today it turned into bird's nest porridge.
