Chapter 102

Xiao Song's bedroom was facing the sun, and she woke up when the sky turned pale.

Touching the side of the bed which was not warm at all, she put on her clothes and got up.

Yuqiu walked in the yard sleepily, and saw the bedroom door opened and hurried over, "Madam, why don't you sleep more, it's still early."

"I've already washed up, you don't have to follow me." Xiao Song said, "I'll go to the kitchen to cook the yam porridge that the master likes to drink."

Yuqiu rubbed her eyes, watching Xiao Song go further and further away.

When the yam porridge was ready, Yuqiu, who had been sent to invite the master, came back.

"Madam, master...you have already left the house early in the morning." A look of unbearable expression appeared on Yuqiu's face.

Mrs. Song was holding the hot porridge that had just been served, when she heard that the porridge bowl was tilted and almost scalded her hands.

Mother Li hurriedly took the porridge bowl, waved to Yuqiu, and signaled her to go out first.

"Ma'am, it's okay, master will be fine in a few days." She persuaded.

Xiao Song nodded numbly, picked up the bowl, and took a sip vigorously.

The wife was in a bad mood, and Yuqiu didn't come forward. A little girl brought news that Qiushuang, who was in front of the lady, was looking for her, so she hurriedly put down her needle and thread and went out.

"Yuqiu, where are you going?" When she walked to the gate of Zhenyu Building, Mother Li came over from nowhere and asked her.

Yuqiu pointed to the inside of the armhole, and whispered: "Qiu Shuang in front of Miss is going out, I'll send over the needlework I've made during this time, and ask her to sell it in a shop outside."

The big girl doesn't do much work, and she has a lot of free time every day. Many girls in the mansion do some needlework in private, and entrust the mother-in-law outside the door or the maid who can go out to take them out to sell.Mother Li usually knows about this.

She nodded and beckoned to Yuqiu.

Yuqiu walked over in a hurry.

Mother Li asked in a low voice: "Yesterday, the master and his wife quarreled, how much did you hear?"

"...No, I didn't hear, I didn't hear anything!" Yuqiu waved her hand and said.

Mother Li frowned, she couldn't even tell a lie.

"No matter how much you hear, you are rotten in my stomach, and you can't say a word!" She looked around and saw that there was no one, so she continued: "The madam and the second young lady used to be at odds, and it has only been a little bit in the past six months. It's better, if what you said makes the second lady know, and if it affects the relationship between her and his wife, you should be careful and I will peel your skin!"

Yuqiu was taken aback by the words "the skin has been peeled off", and was so busy that she nodded her head in response.

Only then was Mama Li satisfied, turned around and left.

Qiushuang accepted the five handkerchiefs handed over by Yuqiu, and asked gossipingly, "Sister Yuqiu, can I ask you something?"

Yuqiu was in a good mood, and asked briskly, "What's the matter?"

Qiu Shuang chuckled and winked at her. "Master and wife, why did they quarrel yesterday?"

Someone really asked?

Did the lady ask her to ask, or did she ask herself?

Yuqiu didn't dare to express her surprise, and she didn't say that she didn't know. Instead, she asked Qiushuang, "What are you asking about about the master and wife?"

Qiu Shuang pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Didn't you hear the news from over there that the wife wanted to take a concubine for the master, so..."

"You, you want to be a concubine for the master?!" Yuqiu asked with a sharp voice.

Qiu Shuang quickly covered her mouth, and said, "Oh, my good sister, please keep your voice down. If this gets out and the lady knows, I won't be beaten to death!"

Yuqiu patted her chest with lingering fear, "You can't have such an idea, not to mention that the master doesn't want to take concubines, even if he is willing to take concubines, he wouldn't want the girl in front of the lady. You are so stupid that you will ruin everything My future for the rest of my life, oh, and your sister-in-law and elder brother in Dongfu, you should be more careful."

Qiushuang naturally knew that what she said was just to get some news from Yuqiu in advance.Seeing that I have already mentioned this point, Yuqiu's teeth are still clenched so tightly, so it is not in vain.

After thanking Yuqiu for thinking about her, he said that Yijia wanted to see her.

Yuqiu finally settled down, and it turned out that the lady really asked about it.

Ms. Li really has the foresight. Is it possible that the young lady is just pretending to be nice to his wife during this time?In fact, I still don't like my wife in my heart. I learned that my wife and the master were arguing, so I wanted to know the reason, and see if I could destroy it a little more?
Yuqiu couldn't figure it out clearly, but she remembered Li's mother's warning, and she didn't reveal anything in front of Yijia.

After Yuqiu left, Qiushuang said: "Miss, this servant thinks that Yuqiu must know something. When she talked to this servant just now, this servant can tell."

Yijia asked bluntly, but when Qiushuang said so, she also guessed that Qiushuang might have made up a reason to cover Yuqiu's words.

"It's nothing, if she doesn't say it, don't say it." Yijia said: "I guess it was Mama Li or my aunt who told me in advance, it doesn't matter, I just try to persuade my aunt a little bit."

Qiushuang opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't say anything.

Forget it, it seems that the wife is really kind to the young lady, even if there is any quarrel with the master, she will definitely not secretly plot against the young lady.After all, the wife is not the eldest wife.

Thinking of Dongfu, Qiushuang immediately thought of her sister-in-law.

She smiled and said: "Miss, the servant took five handkerchiefs from Yuqiu and promised to help them take them out for consignment. In addition, the servant's sister-in-law is about to give birth, and the servant wants to go out to see what there is and buy it for the little one." Nephew."

Yijia likes children very much. Hearing this, she asked pleasantly, "Your sister-in-law is going to give birth? When will you give birth?"

Qiushuang said with a smile: "It should be just a few days now. The maidservant and sister-in-law also said that maybe it will be before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm afraid I'm a glutton for being born on such a good day."

"Then when you are free, go back and see her more often, and lend a hand if you can help. I have Bailu Xuezhu and the others here, and there is nothing wrong." Yijia said, pointing to the inner room and calling Qiushuang to go in. "My money box is locked by you, go, take three taels of silver and go out, no matter what to buy, just treat it as my congratulations to your sister-in-law on her happy birthday."

"The servant girl will thank Miss on behalf of my little nephew." Qiu Shuang saluted and thanked her, and went to the inner room to open the money box without any hesitation, and took out three taels of broken silver.

After Qiushuang went out, Yijia went to Zhenyu Tower to see Mrs. Song.

Mama Li was playing around with Zhou Yiwan in the yard, when she saw Yijia, she hurried forward to salute. "Second Miss is here. Madam didn't rest well yesterday, so she just lay down again."

Yijia caught Yiwan who saw her coming and rushed to hug her, and asked: "How is mother feeling? Mom, you need to persuade me a little bit more. My junior father and mother can't say much, and I have to Sorry to trouble you."

Mother Li coughed, hiding her guilty expression.

"Second Miss, don't worry, this is what a servant girl should do." She said.

"Sister..." Yi Wan pulled the corner of La Yijia's skirt, raised her head and asked, "Last time, how many pictures of lotus flowers did you copy?"

There are no worries in the child's world, and she doesn't usually see Zhou Chengyan much, so she doesn't feel anything about the relationship between her father and mother.On the contrary, I drank a bowl of lotus seed soup this morning, and remembered that not long ago, I was in the study with Liang Shishu's elder sister copying and painting, so when I saw Yijia, I asked about it.

How long ago has this been.

Liang Ming came to leave the capital later, was injured and went through a series of things, not to mention Yijia, even Liang Mingzhi himself had long forgotten.

"It's all finished. When my son Liang Shishu went back, he took it back and said he had to check it out." Anyway, the person involved was not in front of him, so Yi Jia lied as it should.

"Sister is really amazing!" Zhou Yiwan boasted, and then pulled Yijia to make a request, "Then my sister's painting skills must have improved a lot, so can you teach me? I have drawn a lot of pictures, but I don't like lotus flowers. I can't draw well."

Really shooting myself in the foot.

Yijia had no choice but to follow her sister to Dingxiang Pavilion.

Dingxiang Pavilion was packed up by Xiao Song for Zhou Yiwan to live in. Although she has not moved in yet, she occasionally comes here to take a nap during the day, and with her father Zhou Chengyan's jewels in front of her, she also loves it at a young age. Look at a few paintings of calligraphy and painting, so I still come here often in the study.

Yijia was almost taken aback when she walked in. In the small study room, there were dozens of sheets of drawing paper spread out on the desk, all of which were various kinds of lotus flowers.Although the drawing is still very clumsy, it can be seen that the little man is still very serious.On the wall behind the desk, there are about twenty other paintings.

There are cloves, peonies, hibiscus, camellia,... all kinds of flowers.

All from this little five-year-old who just reached her thigh.

Yijia picked her up and sat down at the desk, asking, "You like drawing so much?"

"Yes, my father said that I am still young and have no strength in my hands. Now I can't write well." Zhou Yiwan said with some regret: "So I just draw, but I can't draw well. If one day I can It would be great if you can draw as well as Uncle Liang Shi.”

Yijia smiled and gave her advice, "I'm not good at drawing either. If you want to learn, why not tell Uncle Liang Shi to teach you when he is free." I remembered that the little girl "tricked" me last time He nodded her head and scolded: "Last time you dared to say that my painting is not good in front of Uncle Liang Shi, but I am much better at painting than you!"

Zhou Yiwan made a sharp cut, and said, "How old are you, and you still compare yourself to my child, isn't it funny?"

Yi Jia was speechless by her words.

Zhou Yiwan regained her spirits, and continued: "Liang Shishu is home, why should I ask him to teach me, and I don't know when he will be free."

"Write him a letter and ask him if he knows?" After Yi Jia finished speaking, she couldn't help feeling guilty.

If I wanted to reply to the letter, I just replied, why did I find this reason.

To actually tease her five-year-old sister...

Zhou Yiwan didn't think so much, she immediately clapped her hands and slid down, "Then I'll write now."

Yijia nodded, pretending to be serious and said: "Then I will also write a letter by the way, asking if his injury is okay."

"Okay, when the time comes, send our letter together." Zhou Yiwan said.
