splendid heap

Chapter 37
Mama Shi actually wanted to say that even if the young master knew about it, she should be grateful, but she thought that the old lady also didn't want to see the young master, so she had to change her words midway.But no matter what she meant, or what the reason for the pause in Huatou was, the old matriarch would not pay much attention to it, as long as Mama Shi knew what she was doing and helped her get things done, she didn't need to worry about the rest. Tube.

However, the old lady felt comfortable hearing what Mama Shi said, so she smiled and said, "As long as you talk too much, I don't ask them to appreciate me, and naturally I don't seek those false names. As long as they don't blame me, it's fine." It's over." Speaking of this, the old lady thought of the growing estrangement between her eldest son and herself, and she was still a little sad in her heart. After all, her eldest son was also her own, but unfortunately she didn't understand how her mother treated him. Having quarreled with myself to this day, what is wrong with me treating the Li family like this, the Li family offended the emperor, how dare they have the courage to confront the emperor?
How could Mother Shi not know these things? She could hear the old lady's sigh, but these were not things she could comment on. Mama Shi is actually quite happy with this situation. She really can't do anything too sinister. The exchange of news is fine.

Looking at the sky outside, Mama Shi couldn't stay with her for too long, but she still remembered Xia Hua's reminder just now, so she deliberately changed the subject and said with a smile: "It's getting late outside, the old lady, let the servants Is it possible to help you put on the jewelry on your head? You can’t dislike the handiwork of your servants, otherwise you will be laughed at by Xia Hua and the others.” Although the old lady who had breakfast early in the morning spared the two daughter-in-laws from serving, But greetings for a while can't be saved anyway, this is filial piety, and it is also the face of the two wives.

The old lady smiled when she heard this, nodded and said: "Then give you some face, I will show off later, and your reputation as a master will be even more famous, I am not afraid that they will not accept it." The matter is over. , she was also in the mood to joke.

Mother Shi smiled and flattered for a while, then helped the old lady comb her hair and put on the hairpin. After all, she also came from combing hair. The old lady looked at it in the bronze mirror, nodded with satisfaction and said, "As expected of someone who can be a master, this hair bun is beautifully combed, and the hairpin is well chosen. This flower hairpin with emerald emeralds inlaid with rubies matches the hair you combed." The bun is very pretty."

Mother Shi saw that the old lady really liked her, and she was happy in her heart. Seeing that the old lady was fine, she helped the old lady up with a smile, and said jokingly: "The old lady can appreciate the vulgar handicraft of the servant, so the servant can rest assured. , besides, only the old lady can look good with this flower hairpin, and another person can't get such a good effect."

The old lady knew that she was flattering, but who doesn't like to hear good words, so she patted Mama Shi's shoulder with a smile, and said angrily: "Look, after all, she has been in charge for many years, and her words have become more and more beautiful. With the clumsy mouth and cheeks of the past, I think you are telling me that this old woman is fake, and showing off your own skills is the real thing." After finishing speaking, Mama Shi didn't allow her to argue, so she raised her voice outside: "Xia Hua But outside?"

When the old lady called, Xia Hua knew that they had finished talking, so she hurriedly raised the curtain and opened the door to enter the inner room. As soon as she came in, she saw that the old lady had already got up, so she hurriedly smiled and greeted her, and looked at it a little longer on purpose. The old lady's hair accessories and some jewelry on her head are really good looking. Even though she is more sophisticated in craftsmanship now, she still sighs to herself, so she admired: "True mother is a pair of skillful hands, we actually It can't be compared to a sporadic one, so it can be seen that the old lady's hair was ruined by the clumsy slaves."

Her expression is cute, and her words are also playful. Not only Mama Shi listened to it, but the old lady also loved the excitement, so she smiled and said: "You monkey, you are really flattering, and you are not afraid of being old if you flatter Mama Shi." Ma'am, I'm angry, because you fooled me in the past."

Xia Hua was told by the old lady, she smiled and begged for mercy: "At least the old lady spared the servant, the servant's skill is not enough compared to Mama Shi's, but it can also make the old lady look good. Limited, the victory is that the old lady is naturally beautiful, and she can show off her servant skills."

Shi's mother couldn't help laughing at Xia Hua's flattering behavior. Although she knew that the old lady would not really blame her, she felt that she had just mentioned something. Madam Shi just groaned for a while, and then she said: "It's true that the old lady can take care of people. This Xiahua girl is not only well-groomed, but also considerate in everything she does, and she really flatters the old lady. It’s rare to have a heart.”

The old lady was delighted to hear Mama Shi's compliment, so she put aside the joke just now, and said with a smile: "Now you know so many girls, why do I only love her? There are so many things, but she takes care of everything that I can't think of, and doesn't make me worry about it at all, if I leave her, my house will still be in such a mess."

Mama Shi knew that although there were four big girls in the old lady's room, Xia Hua was the leader of all the people. This was because the old lady valued her more. Who would have thought that the old lady believed so much after listening to it today? She loves Xia Hua so much. Thinking about it this way, Mother Shi unconsciously glanced at Xia Hua more. Her dark hair made her face look fairer and fairer. Although it is not glamorous, it is also pure and pretty. The best thing is , the person looks gentle and pleasant, if you don't talk about such a character, who would think that she is just a girl.

However, Mama Shi walked outside, so she naturally knew a little about the world. Even if Xia Hua was a girl, she would not be a hindrance. Didn’t she have a saying that she would rather marry a servant girl than a girl from a small family? Xia Hua's fate in the future will definitely not be bad, and I still need to befriend her more in the future.

Thinking of this, Mama Shi hurriedly followed the old lady's words, smiled flatteringly and said: "The old lady's words, the servant girl thinks so, this Xia Hua is a smart person, but it's thanks to the old lady's ability to take care of people, otherwise it would be too late. It doesn't show how good Xia Hua is." She flattered the two at once, which made the old lady laugh happily.

Although Xia Hua knew that Mama Shi's words were mostly to make the old lady happy, but after all, she also said her kindness incidentally, and she naturally knew that Mama Shi was reciprocating, Xia Hua looked at her as if she was going out on something. , Then he deliberately rescued and said: "The old lady loves the slave girl too much, that's why she said that, the slave girl is not as good as the old lady said, the slave girl who praised it is very shameful, the old lady can forgive the slave girl, don't be the same again Mama Shi boasted, it's best to let her family laugh, but don't let Mama Shi laugh out loud in front of us, that servant will be ashamed."

The old lady also wanted to let Mama Shi go out to do errands. Seeing that Xia Hua was such a governor, she nodded in satisfaction, and waved her hand: "Okay, okay, you are evil today. I haven't seen you blush before, and you put it on today, Shi family, you hurry up, you don't have to embarrass Xia Hua." Mama Shi's man's surname is Shi, so everyone calls her Mama Shi.

Mama Shi was really in a hurry to go to the second young lady's yard. After finishing this matter, she had to go elsewhere. She was in charge of the news from various places, and she was busy every day. Just now, she looked at the old lady with rare interest. It's not easy to say leave immediately, now that the old lady let me go, she hurriedly smiled and said goodbye.

As soon as Mother Shi came out, she prepared to go to the residence of the young ladies in the back garden without any delay. The ladies in the back garden live farther away, and the courtyard where the second lady lives is the most remote part of the back garden. From the main courtyard in front to go to the second lady's place, you have to go around the yard of the eldest lady, the third lady, and the fourth lady. , It can only be reached after crossing the pond.

Because she had to make a big detour, Mama Shi thought about going to the second lady's place first when there were fewer people, so as to avoid some people. This was her own selfishness, because she knew that the eldest lady was a difficult person If you meet her, you will be annoying for a while. Although she is a useful old mother by the old lady's side, she can somewhat gain more face in front of the masters, but no matter what, she is just a servant. As far as the young lady is concerned, at most it is because the old lady does not dare to scold her. If there is a question to be asked, the young lady will never miss a word, which will waste time.

Besides, Mama Shi also wanted to save some back roads. She was traveling outside, and she naturally had more knowledge than ordinary old mothers in the back house. She knew what the old lady had planned, but in her heart She felt that this matter was unreliable. You must know that even if it hindered the affairs of the Li family back then, the Duke would not dare to leave the title to the third young master who was born to Mrs. Li first, but there is also the fourth young master who was born to his stepwife at home. It is absolutely impossible for the eldest young master to be the son of the world, and it is even more impossible for the second young master to be a concubine.

Mother Shi knew that no matter how the old lady planned in her heart, as long as the Duke of the State was still alive, it would be impossible to leave the title to other people's sons, so she knew that the Duke's mansion would still be the big family sooner or later, so she was considered loyal to the old lady. She is not willing to offend the people in the first room when doing business, let alone make people think that she is close to the second room, so she wants to avoid the people in the second room.

You have to know that going to the second lady's courtyard will cause a lot of shock in the future. This eldest lady is a troublemaker. Mama Shi thinks she can avoid it, so as long as she is not involved in the later incident Well, no matter what happens later, it will have nothing to do with her. Even if the Duke finds out about it in the future, he won't be able to blame her. Thinking about it this way, Mama Shi wishes she could feel the wind under her feet, her wings and her wings. After leaving the old lady's Fuxi Hall, I thought that even if I really ran, the old lady would not know, so I let go of my heart and walked quickly to the back garden.
