Chapter 268 sentimental
Mrs. Li saw Xiao Zheng touching her sleeves habitually again, and knew that she was nervous and embarrassed, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "No problem, you are also kind, you want to go to see the child for me first, I will take care of it , don't blame yourself."

Mrs. Zheng did have such a meaning. It would be embarrassing for Madam to tell her the truth. After all, Madam didn't tell her to go and see Young Master and Miss. She was overstepping.We haven't discussed a specific regulation on how Miss Yu and his wife will meet, so she really seems reckless.

Seeing the embarrassment on Xiao Zheng's face, Lue knew that she couldn't make it up, so she hurriedly smoothed things over, and then dragged his wife and Xiao Zheng to talk about sending things, which relieved Xiao Zheng's embarrassment, and won Xiao Zheng's A grateful look.

While they were talking, someone came to report from outside the door, and Steward Li begged to see him.

The gatekeeper outside was in green clothes. When someone came to report the news, he hurriedly dropped the needlework in his hand, said politely to the visitor, "wait a moment", got up and opened the curtain, and walked quickly to the inner room.

Seeing her coming, the four people who were discussing things in the room stopped and waited for her to speak.

Seeing them stop, Lu Yi hurriedly replied: "There are people outside, saying that Housekeeper Li is asking to see you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li looked at the sky outside. It might as well be that the sun is about to set. She hurriedly put away the things in her hand and said with a smile: "It's time for our discussion. Okay, you go and inform Li. The housekeeper will wait a moment, I'll come right away." He stood up while supporting Lue's arm.

The green clothes listened to the master's order and didn't leave. She still stood and asked, "But are you entertaining Steward Li in the main hall?" She didn't ask abruptly, as Steward Li is no more than an ordinary servant.

Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "Look at me, I was too busy talking, but I forgot about this, okay, you can directly bring him to the small study room, and serve him there after serving the tea."

After listening to this order, Lu Yi hurriedly went out.

Mrs. Li didn't delay too much, she just asked Lue to help her tidy up a little, and then took the girl to the small study in the west room, where she temporarily handled important matters.

Seeing Miss come in, Steward Li hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and said with a smile, "Did you disturb Miss's rest?" After speaking, he suddenly remembered what the old lady said at home, and hurriedly said, "Look at this old slave , Why are you still called Miss, you should be called Auntie."

Mrs. Li hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, even if I don't come to find my second uncle, I still have to ask someone to invite him. Don't stand still, sit down quickly. If there is anything, let's sit down and talk slowly." After finishing speaking, He smiled again and said, "It doesn't matter if Uncle Xun calls me Miss or Grandma, it doesn't matter, don't worry too much, I will save you old people's heart." Knowing that Uncle Xun will think of this now, it must be The old wife at home said it, and asked with a smile: "Is Xunjia's mother healthy?"

Butler Li was not polite to Mrs. Li either. After seeing the young lady sitting down, she followed suit. The young lady who listened asked her old lady, and replied with a smile: "She is in good health and has always wanted to see you. Is it Mrs. Li?" I'm sorry, you've just settled down, you haven't slowed down yet, you still have to talk long-winded when you don't see her, it's not worth it if you're tired, but let's see, grandma, when I'm free, the old slave will bring the old woman here Meet you?"

Seeing that Manager Xun Er is so polite, Madam Li didn't feel bad at all. After the initial excitement, everyone had to follow the rules, otherwise it would make the newcomers look bad, but Manager Xun Er is an old man in the house. , hero!Some rules do not have to stick to it.

Mrs. Li turned her eyes, and then she smiled at the housekeeper Xun Er who was sitting and said: "Look at the second uncle Xun and an old slave, you are so old, there is no need to be like this, mother Xunjia wants to see what I need Pick a date, just come to my place when she is free, and I want to find an old man to ask about things in Beijing these years."

The housekeeper Xun Er heard what the young lady said, and he ironed it in his heart. He hurriedly smiled and waved his hands and said: "No matter how old you are, you can know how to measure, but you can't break the rules. You still have to be superior or inferior. Don't worry about grandma. Another day The old servant must have brought the old lady to chat about my aunt." After speaking, he smiled indifferently, but there are some things that are not easy to say in front of so many people, so he paused and looked at the room left in the room with some hesitation. next girl.

Seeing his hesitation, Mrs. Li knew that it was too much for people to talk, so she waved for Lue who came in with her to leave with the green clothes who had been serving here earlier.

After seeing the two of them left, Mrs. Li smiled again and said: "There is no one here now, so just tell Second Uncle if you have anything to say, and don't make friends with me."

After hearing this, Steward Li nodded with a smile and said, "Well, this old servant didn't see you, so I just came to ask, how did you decide on the matter of my aunt meeting you?"

Mrs. Li was a little hesitant about this matter. She always felt weird in her heart, fearing that her rushing to Beijing to meet her brother would disturb the progress of their affairs. , Brother, how many times have you been here?"

Xun Er is a very shrewd person, and he knew what his lady was worried about as soon as he heard it. He didn't worry about it, and thought about all kinds of possibilities seriously, and then said: "Since the uncle came back from Jiangnan, he hasn't been here once. It is located in a remote place, although it is far away from the Zhuangzi where the uncle lives now, the advantage is that they are all in the northern outskirts of the city, and there is no need to go in and out of the city gate, so I guess it will not be a problem for the uncle to come here."

Mrs. Li still believed in looking for the second housekeeper, and when she saw that he was sure, she nodded and said: "In that case, let brother know that we will see each other in the evening, and I will probably stay here for a short time. There are many things to do, so it's better to go early." Er and brother met, it's important to come out with a charter, by the way, are the others waiting?"

The housekeeper Xun Er hurriedly nodded after hearing this and said: "Well, don't worry, my aunt, I will make arrangements as soon as I receive the letter. They have been waiting for a long time, and now I just wait for the uncle and aunt." Speaking of this, Xun Er The butler's eyes were shining, his back was straightened, and his energy was different from that of the day.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Li also became happy, as if she saw the shrewd man she met when she was young.At this time, my brother hadn't arrived yet, and she couldn't ask about some important matters alone, so Mrs. Li stopped mentioning them, and just said: "I need to find my second uncle, so let's do this first. By the way, I have something to think about." Ask Second Uncle Xun, is it convenient or not?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Xun Er hurriedly said: "Is there any inconvenience, this old slave has been at ease for so many years, so it's time to move."

Speaking of this, Manager Xun's expression became much sadder, and he said with some self-reproach: "For so many years, we have been hiding here and dare not contact anyone in the mansion, and only when the uncle went to Jiangnan did he quietly send someone to follow him. I can't do much with this, and Miss and I don't even have the slightest help, if we could move a little bit back then, maybe...no way, Miss would not have suffered so much." After saying that, the second housekeeper's eyes were still red up.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she disapproved very much and said: "Don't say that about looking for the second uncle, you did the right thing. There was an order from my father back then. It is already the limit to protect my brother like this, and then meddle in the Duke of Wei's mansion." For the matter in the palace, father's hard work is likely to be in vain, which mansion does not have the emperor's people? Don't think about it like this in the future after looking for the second uncle."

Mrs. Li paused after she finished speaking, and felt that it was not good to continue this topic, so she continued: "This is the end of the story, don't mention it when you look for the second uncle in the future, it is always better to be careful, by the way, I will I just want to ask you, I have packed some things here, and I plan to send them to Zhilan's farm to add makeup to that child Xiangyu, I don't know how to send them?"

When the aunt mentioned these strange names, the housekeeper Xun Er was stunned for a moment, and guessed in his heart that they were those people in Duke Wei's mansion, but he didn't remember who they were at the moment, so it was difficult to answer.

Seeing that the second housekeeper was stunned, Mrs. Li quickly came over and said with a smile: "Look at what I said, you probably don't remember, this Zhilan was my dowry girl in the early years, she is not our family You are not very familiar with the birth of a child, and now you are married to the second handle who is next to the Duke of the country, and together with her son-in-law are protecting my two poor children in Beijing."

Hearing this, the housekeeper Xun Er remembered it, and hurriedly said: "But the Li Nanny next to the young lady, if she, the old slave remembers, alas, people's memory is not good when they are old, and I forgot her name for a while. Now, everyone calls her Nanny Li now, by the way, that sweet potato is her daughter-in-law? Why is she going to marry a daughter-in-law, haha, what a blessing!" Speaking of happy events, it is a joy to find the second housekeeper up.

After hearing what the old housekeeper said, Mrs. Li was also happy, and smiled: "Well, it's her. Xiangyu was rescued by me in the early years. Later, I made the decision to give her to Qingfeng, which is Zhilan's. Son, I never imagined that the two of you will soon be married, time flies so fast, it has been more than ten years in a flash."

The aunt who was looking for the second steward listened to it sighed, and she also sighed, and she nodded and smiled.But he smiled back, still a little puzzled in his heart, although he has never intervened in the affairs of Duke Wei's mansion, he has not forgotten to inquire about the young lady and the young master from time to time.

Now that I heard that Xiangyu's child is going to get married, the housekeeper Xun frowned a little, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't this child the big girl next to the little lady? Now the situation is unknown, why is she going to marry? With this marriage, there will be fewer people around our little lady, how can we make it?"

Mrs. Li is also a little doubtful about this matter, but she is thinking about Zhilan and Xiangyu for so many years, but she didn't think about it for a while. This married little daughter-in-law is different from Nanny Li, so she can no longer control Miss Something about the room, this is indeed a bit inappropriate, and I frowned unconsciously.

Seeing her like this, the housekeeper Xun Er knew that his aunt didn't understand the inside story, so he became anxious. He knew what kind of life his young lady lived in Duke Wei's mansion.
