Chapter 237 Storytelling

Shuixi took the small box containing the incense and hurried back to the courtyard of the fourth room. Yinger, who moved so fast, didn't react at all. When she and the little maid wanted to stop Shuixi again, Shuixi had already Leaving the yard without a trace.

Ying'er curled her lips in disdain, "Things that cannot be supported by mud..."

"Aunt Ying, does she know how to use it? I took half of the box away." The little maid remembered that she hadn't told Shuixi how to make incense just now, so she could use it normally, but the condition of Shuixi was uncertain.

Ying'er frowned, "There's no way to chase her to the courtyard of the fourth house. The fourth grandma will definitely keep an eye on her for a while. We are too close to cause suspicion. If nothing happens today, you will come back tomorrow morning." Let me tell you in the past."

The little maid nodded, and hurried to put the remaining incense in a hidden place.

Fanyin, Feng's mother and others were still listening to Lv Heniang's talk about the Zhongfu. Cuiqiao and Caiyun were very surprised, but Fanyin's heart became more and more serious. Feng's mother didn't feel anything. I've heard a lot about the sesame millet story here, and I'm no longer surprised or happy.

"The old lady has a good temper, but it's a pity that the death of the uncle was a blow to her. The two concubines had a second and third grandfather one after another. The old lady planned to raise her under her own name, but it was a pity that the general refused. After being persuaded by the aunt and grandma, the fourth master was born again. The general was very happy, but the old lady still missed the uncle who died young, so even though the uncle was not yet six years old at that time, the Zhong family left him a name and a tablet .”

Lu Heniang never mentioned how the second mistress and Yinger used methods to make the third master accept the dead aunt, but instead told the story of the older generation.

Sanskrit did not care, and continued to listen carefully. Caiyun was even more curious, and asked:

"Those two aunts are not here now?"

"It's been gone for a long time. The second master's biological mother was weak after giving birth to him, and she never came back. The third master's biological mother also couldn't get sick after the general passed away, so she went with her."

Lv Heniang gave a wry smile when she said this, "The old slave can't pay more attention to the dead. The people who followed the old lady back then, even the old slave, who was a poor woman, were driven back home. That auntie He has a very bad temper."

Sanskrit nodded, no wonder Zhong Xingyan has been reluctant to go home all the time, and has been eating and drinking outside all year round. According to Lu Heniang, it may be a good time for her to enter the door of Zhong's house now. If there is still Aunt Tai is here... Her life may not be so easy.

"The old slave knows more about the old lady's affairs. The old lady passed away and was driven home. Lu He is a lucky person who can follow the fourth grandma. Now the old slave only hopes that the eldest son can also have a baby." Promise, he is seventeen this year, he is a young man with strength, he can drive a cart and ride a horse, if he has a place, this old slave can wake up from his dreams with laughter."

Lv Heniang smiled obsequiously, Fanyin also knew that she was here today because she wanted to do something.

It's just that Sanskrit doesn't intend to call in all the Lvhe family now, and people have to observe carefully before they can use it with confidence.

If you still want to use people with your heart, then you might as well not use them.

"I still need an errand runner by my side. If you don't dislike Lv Heniang, why don't you let your son try it first?" Fanyin didn't give a specific errand, and Lv Heniang didn't care about it, and quickly got up to kowtow to Fanyin .

Sanskrit helped her up, "It's an errand that can't be put on the table. You can't be so polite. After all, I am short of manpower here. If there are girls you can look at that can be used at ease, you might as well introduce a few girls to me. With a girl like Lu He, I'm relieved to see you."

"Thank you fourth grandma, I will choose for you as soon as I get back!" Lv Heniang was elated, and she could see that it was from the bottom of her heart.

Sanskrit gave Cuiqiao a wink, and Cuiqiao went to the small compartment to get a gift for someone, and gave it to Lv Heniang.

Lv Heniang took the object and kowtowed three times to Sanskrit. Instead of flattery, she said more sincerely: "Fourth Grandma, don't misunderstand that the old slave's speech is not pleasant. When the old slave sees you today, he thinks you She looks the most like the old lady, and after chatting with you for a while, I feel more like her, the old lady is as kind and generous as you, and the fourth master will definitely love you!"

"Thank you for your good words." Sanskrit didn't say any more, and watched Lv Heniang go out slowly.

Cuiqiao went to send Lv Heniang off, but Mother Feng shook her head, "Lv Heniang, don't look careless, she knows it all in her heart."

"It's definitely not an ordinary person who can work in the old lady's yard." Fanyin said with a smile: "But it's right to find her today. At any rate, we can also infer that the relationship between the second and third families is not so close in private. Lu Heniang refuses to talk about the dead aunt."

"You don't dare to use that dirty trick on your premise, but since she scolded you, Fourth Grandma, you should pay more attention and be on guard. Although Fourth Master only has you in his heart, he is still a man..."

Mother Feng couldn't go into details, and Fanyin only nodded her head as an affirmation of her proposal.

"You asked Lv Heniang to help find someone, because you want to gather the sons of the family who were kicked out of the Zhongfu?" Mother Feng changed the subject, and the Sanskrit voice did not deny it, "To be exact, I want to get back from the old man. Those who were kicked out from the courtyard, these people will not be easily bought by second- and third-bedrooms, and even if they can be bought, the price will not be low."

Mother Feng smiled and said: "Mrs. Zhao said that although you seem kind and generous, you are actually the most shrewd. Now this old slave has also seen it. You learn from good people by following good people, and you can also learn evil methods from evil people."

"It's not my fault. I use good intentions to deal with evil people. Isn't that because I'm full? I don't have such a big heart to repay grievances with kindness, and I can't do it." Sanskrit's self-deprecating sarcasm made Feng's mother also He covered his mouth and smiled happily.

Chuncao entered the house from the outside with a solemn expression, and the smile on Feng's mother's face also subsided. Sanskrit found an excuse to send everyone else out, and then Chuncao closed the door and said in a low voice:
"The servant girl went back to deliver things just now, but Shuixi closed the door for a long time before opening it. The servant girl felt that something was wrong when she entered the house, and then she felt that the smell was wrong. Seeing her flustered appearance, there were not many servant girls. Ask, put down the things and come back."

"Smell?" Sanskrit really didn't understand these things, so he could only look at Mother Feng, who had a look of disgust and suspicion on her face, "The old slave will stare at her, so don't worry about it, Grandma Fourth. If you can even use those dirty tricks, this girl can't stay anymore!"

Sanskrit still wanted to ask again, but Mother Feng frowned, "I haven't figured it out yet, if the fourth grandma finds out, she will dirty her ears, and the old slave will be the black face, and I will report back to you after everything is sorted out. If she doesn't have the guts to do disgusting things, then don't listen to these disgusting things."

Mother Feng has always divided people into three, six, and nine equal parts very clearly. For her, apart from Zhong Xingyan, Sanskrit is the biggest master in the yard. Hearing too many disgusting things is not suitable for the master.

Sanskrit had long understood Mother Feng's temper, and naturally understood her, "Then please leave this matter to Mother Feng, no matter what method she uses, you'll keep an eye on her anyway, and I won't worry about that, but I want to If you expose this matter, the third room will be involved, so when that girl really does something disgusting, you can send her to pass a message to the third grandma, and I will write a letter for her to send."

Mother Feng nodded immediately after hearing her words, "Then listen to Fourth Grandma."

Fanyin immediately went to the desk to spread out the paper, polished and moistened the pen, and took a while to write a word.

Sealed it in an envelope and coated it with letter wax. After Fanyin handed it to Mother Feng, she didn't ask any more questions about it.

Mother Feng took the letter and went out with Chuncao. Cuiqiao listened for a while, afraid that Sanskrit would misunderstand Mother Feng's strength just now, and persuaded her: "Mother Feng is also for your own good. angry."

"I know this, don't worry." Sanskrit stroking his brows with his fingers, he said slowly: "The Ying'er and the second mistress that Lv Heniang mentioned just used tricks to give the girl to the third master, although she didn't The matter is clear, but obviously the method is also extremely disgusting, I am afraid that teaching Shuixi this time will not be a good way, otherwise Mother Feng will not be so nervous."

"Lv Heniang is also a servant girl from the compound. She used to follow the old lady, so she obviously hates those wild tricks." Cuiqiao was the one that Madam Fang wanted to give to Yang Zhiyuan to be her aunt. She had heard these methods taught by her mothers, I blush just thinking about it.

Sanskrit didn't notice the change in Cuiqiao's face, but murmured softly: "It's just a pity for that girl, why can't I live a good life? Is it so comfortable to be the fourth master's aunt?"

"I've been depressed for a long time, and I'm afraid of poverty. Seeing a few successful examples around me, people's hearts are also crooked. In fact, I don't see what kind of hard life those people are living."

Cuiqiao's lament made Sanskrit react, and she patted her hand with a smile, and the master and servant completely put aside this topic.

Shuixi carefully fiddled with the incense in the house.

She has never seen this thing before, but only heard that it is going to burn the clothes.

Originally, she was terrified of this thing, but when she recalled Yinger's words that she "had no choice", she also made up her mind to light the incense, and tossed her clothes inside and out.

It's a pity that Shuixi was in a hurry and forgot to ask Ying'er how to get the object, and she lost her mind when fuming the clothes, but the fragrance of the clothes was too strong.

Fortunately, when the spring grass came back, she just took it out, and now it is not early, and it is her turn to keep watch at night, Shuixi hastily changed the clothes from inside to outside, just waiting for the fourth grandma to eat later After dinner, she went to serve in the main room.

Presumably fourth master should come back by then, right?
Smelling the rich fragrance on her body, Shuixi's thoughts wandered, imagining the lingering relationship with Fourth Master at night, her heart almost flew away...
