Chapter 71 Bird's Nest
"Old lady." The fourth girl got up and said with a smile: "I heard from my mother that the fourth brother has gone to Cheng's mansion. I don't know if the aunt of the Cheng family has mentioned anything? I heard..." While talking, the fourth girl The corner of the lips couldn't help but rise a little more.

After all, she still couldn't hide her emotions well. Although the old lady was a little dissatisfied, she just said, "What's the hurry? Your mother Zhang is going to fetch bird's nest. You can go back after eating."

It happened that there was a knock on the door at this time, and when Mama Zhang entered the room, the fourth girl couldn't wait to finish drinking the bird's nest.

Only then did the old lady say: "Let your mother buy some new clothes and jewelry for you. Remember not to buy some clothes from merchants. We rich girls are still different."

In the words, there is a touch of disgust.

Just hearing the news confirmed suddenly, the fourth girl was so happy that she didn't notice.

The fourth girl wanted to tell the second wife, and she left the Rongshou Hall without staying for a while.

Looking at the door that had not yet been closed, the old lady frowned.

Mother Zhang smiled and took another cup of bird's nest, "Although the fourth girl is not stable enough, she is better than the third girl in terms of her background. She grew up in the mansion. In fact, the seventh girl is also good. Madam is worried, so she can let it go, Miss Seven is still young."

The old lady bowed her head and remained silent. Some time ago, the second girl secretly sent a message back.Since that day, the old lady did not understand that Uncle Ruyang's Mansion could not be a long-term helper, if she really wanted to plan for the future, she would have to choose a new helper.The old lady Gu Er chose among several people in the mansion. To be honest, Qiyatou was the most suitable, but firstly, she was as young as Zhang's mother said, which would not help in the short term, and secondly, she thought about her blood relationship.The old lady was worried and uncomfortable.After such a comparison, the fourth girl was finally selected.

It's a pity that Sanya's temperament really can't adapt to life in a big family, otherwise her identity would be fine.The other five girls?The old lady didn't even think about it.

"This bird's nest is not bad. You can ask someone to send two to the eldest wife and one to the seventh girl."

"But old lady, you only got a few cups of bird's nest." When the old lady comes to summer, her body will be a little weak, so she needs to use a cup every day.In the past few days, they were rewarded by the palace, and there were only a few lamps in total. Now the old lady said that she took out three lamps at once.

The old lady was silent, so Zhang's mother had no choice but to go to the old lady's private warehouse to get the bird's nest and send it to others.

Naturally, it was given to the eldest wife to let her understand that no matter how much she loves the second room now, she is the only wife in her heart.

As for Qing Huan
"The old lady sent someone over?" Aunt Liu asked, looking at the person in front of her.

"Yes, the old lady said, the girl is not in good health, and the summer is bitter, so she was given a bird's nest as a reward from the palace, which is said to be the most nourishing." Chun Zhi smiled and asked the little maid beside him to hold it. bird's nest.

Xiang Nong hurriedly stepped forward to take it: "Sister, you have worked hard."

"None of us can speak, but I've heard sister Xiacao talk about sister Chunzhi all the time. I understand that sister Chunzhi is the one who takes care of others." Mancao said and handed over a purse.

Seeing Chun Zhi took it with a smile and put it into her arms, Aunt Liu also smiled and said: "Miss Chun Zhi, would you like to sit down a little longer, our girl should have woken up after a nap."

"Aunt Liu, you are welcome. The old lady still has a lot of things to do, and I can't leave for a long time. When I have free time in a few days, I will definitely come and have a seat." Chun Zhi is not worried about letting the old lady know about it. Well, it's not just a few maids in the mansion, and because of Xia Cao, Xia Cao is also willing to sell Qing Huan sister and brother a good one.

"That's fine. Anyway, these maids are free on weekdays. If you are free, let them find you for a drink." Aunt Liu pursed her lips and smiled.

Chun Zhi said a few more words to accompany him.

"Sister Chunzhi went to the eldest girl. When she separated from her servant, she said that she met outside the Rongshou Hall. Now it looks like it's getting late, and the servant should retreat."

"That's it, anyway, you go first."

After Chun Zhi left, Aunt Liu thought about the bird's nest.

"Xiang Nong, go and see if the girl is awake."

"Yes." Shannon nodded
Qing Huan had actually heard Chun Zhi's voice a long time ago, but her whole body was weak and she didn't want to be disturbed.When Chunzhi came in, he had no choice but to get up.

"Auntie." Qing Huan went to the table and sat down.

Aunt Liu pointed to the things on the table.

"This is...?" Qing Huan took a closer look: "It really is a high-quality bird's nest, and the old lady is really willing."

"But it's not enough to eat, it's a pity." A bird's nest can be divided into three servings at most, which is considered less, and it is usually calculated as two servings.

"The old lady sent this from someone. I heard that it is something from the palace. She thinks it is good to use, and she sent us a cup to try." Aunt Liu said Chun Zhi's words aside.

"I really can't eat such a good thing." Qing Huan snorted coldly, during those days when she was sick, when Jun'er was not feeling well, she never saw the old lady bring any good things over.

Don't say it's a good bird's nest, it's just that there are no ordinary bird's nests.

Now it's because of a request from Cheng's mansion that this little thing is brought here.I don't even want to think about who was hiding the news from the Yan Mansion at the beginning.

If Linglu hadn't found out, maybe Qing Huan would continue to hate this uncle's family.

The eldest master in the mansion found an official position early on through the old man's connection, while the third master got into the official position through the imperial examination.It's just that the second master is not as talented as the third master. He didn't make any progress in the imperial examination, and he didn't get the old master to clear up the relationship. In the end, he managed the general affairs outside the house.Money came in and out, although the old lady didn't dare to do too much tricks, but still got a lot of money.Naturally, there are quite a lot of bird's nests, and the second wife is a lucky person, so she will use some bird's nests every now and then.

Just the same bird's nest.

"Have you found out?" The second wife felt that she had eaten good bird's nest in the past, but she couldn't swallow it today.

"Yes, the old lady sent the eldest lady and Seventh Miss there."

The sound of the teacup being put back on the table echoed heavily in the room.

Seeing that her master was displeased, the maid who answered was the second wife's confidant who knew about the situation in the mansion, so she carefully apologized and said with a smile: "Madam, the old lady has never liked the third bedroom... I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter. And the fourth girl... Qionghua Banquet"

Hearing this, the second wife's face turned pale.

"The second master hasn't come back yet?"

Seeing that the maid did not dare to answer, the second wife was even more angry.

…. .

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

The moon is bright and the wind is clear outside the window, and the occasional sound is indeed the sound of insects in the garden.

Now it's early summer, because of greed for coolness, Yan Jun moved to the west wing of this yard after begging her sister.There is only one more garden at the end of the west wing than the original residence.Although it is a garden, it is just a few trees planted and a few pots of flowers moved over.It's so cool, but it's cooler than other places in the yard.In fact, it is from one end of the yard to the other. The other end without a garden is because of a small kitchen.

Jun'er was originally arranged to live there to take care of his hunger at night or water problems.

The window was only half open, because it wasn't very late, and Aunt Liu was sitting by the side fanning Jun'er, to drive away the heat and to drive away mosquitoes.

A candle was placed on the low table, flickering on and off with the wind blowing in from the window.

Xia Cao was squatting on a twig beside her, wiping her net.Yan Jun lived in Cheng's mansion for a month and brought back a lot of good things, the most valuable is a piece of black jade given by Mrs. Cheng.Yan Jun liked it in her heart, so she asked Xia Cao to tie a webbing to hang around her waist.

When Linglu came in, he was holding a small box in his hand.

"This is...?" Aunt Liu was afraid of waking up the people on the bed, so she walked away a few steps and asked in a lower voice.

"The girl said that now that the young master is growing up, he has to start dressing up in this attire. It's okay to wear it around the house on weekdays. But in the future, even if you go out to meet guests, you still have to pick up the things that should be picked up. "Ling Lu said with a smile. ,
After hearing this, Aunt Liu opened the box and took a look, feeling relieved.There are only some small pieces of silver and a few silver buttocks in the box.Aunt Liu was just afraid that the girl would take out those hidden things.

"From now on, this box will be taken care of by Xia Cao, and the young master will also put some money by his side. From now on, the monthly silver will also be handed over to Xia Cao. As for the things about dressing up just now." Ling Lu chuckled lightly. : "Those things, the girl will prepare separately. But the girl said, she needs Aunt Liu's help for reference.

When Aunt Liu heard this, she hurriedly smiled.

Xia Cao finished the two ties in a hurry, Ling Lu took it, looked at it and said with a smile: "This style is not bad, if it is not for the young master, you can make some and sell it."

"Is this something you can say?" Aunt Liu glared.

Ling Lu stuck out her tongue and smiled.

There was a rustling sound in the room, and then the light suddenly became darker, and it took a while for the room to fall silent again.

Xia Cao stood up and said, "The young master must have woken up, I'll go and have a look."

Aunt Liu nodded and bent down to put the sewing basket away.

Yan Jun's room has been slightly refurbished.

There is a screen not far from the table in the house, it is not very expensive, it is twelve screens made of bamboo, the paintings on the screen are not the usual pictures of ladies, but the pictures of young children playing, some playing with crickets, and some Flower viewing.It seemed to add a lot of fun to life, and this was also because Yan Jun liked to bring it back from Cheng's residence. It can be seen that this old master Cheng loves Yan Jun very much.You must know that according to the servant who brought Jun'er back, it is the old man's favorite screen.

It's just that Young Master Yan Jun said he likes it, so someone sent it over.
