Chapter 45
"I'll send it to mom." Jin Liu also hurriedly stood up and sent Zhou's mother to the door. After thinking about it for a while, she turned around and asked Bixi to wrap a bag of pastries she made this morning and stuff them into Zhou's mother's hand, saying: " It's not a good thing either, it's a pastry I made myself, my mother will take it home and taste it, if she likes it, send a message, and I'll send it to my mother."

"How do you say that, the maidservant has eaten the pastries made by the young lady." Zhou's mother said hurriedly.

"If mom doesn't accept it, it's because of the previous incident that Jin Liu was annoyed. Then Jin Liu..." Seeing this, Jin Liu's face collapsed, as if she was about to cry.

"Okay, okay, just take it." Zhou's mother hurriedly took the pastry when she saw this, and she smiled when she saw Jinliu bursting into tears, thinking in her heart that this was just a child as old as Miss Fifth, so her smile became more sincere , pulled Jin Liu and said in a soft voice: "Miss San has a straightforward temper, but this servant wants to remind Miss San that Miss Wu has a stubborn temper, and Madam spoiled her, so if anything happens in the future, please accommodate her more and don't fight against her." , if something really happened, wouldn't you be the one who suffered?"

If Mother Zhou could say that, Jin Liu knew that she already believed that the fight between Mother Wang and Mrs. Xue had nothing to do with her, so she nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Jin Liu will just let Fifth Sister be more important in the future."

Zhou's mother saw Jin Liu's grievances, but who told her that she didn't crawl out of the eldest lady's belly, sighed, and led the maidservant down the steps towards the door.

Mother Zhou and her party disappeared from sight, and Jin Liu let out a long sigh of relief. Although Mother Zhou is soft-hearted, she belongs to the eldest lady after all. Today, the eldest lady asked her to deliver things, and I am afraid that the eldest lady sent her to check on her How much do you know about the fight that day? Let's see if she instigated it. After her performance just now, I believe that Zhou's mother knows how to return to the eldest lady.

Looking up at the gray sky that is unique to winter, Jin Liu took a deep breath and gave a cold shudder. It was so cold, it must be snowing. I don't know if it will be very cold if it snows heavily. If it is very cold , Mrs. Ru and her daughter didn't know how to spend it before she crossed over, but now it's better, she has carbon, and it's still good carbon, so that Mrs. Ru won't freeze, another gold in the sky Liu, don't worry, I won't let your mother suffer any more, I will definitely let her live a good life, Jin Liu said to herself, with a confident smile on her lips, she turned around gracefully, and said loudly: "Jiaqin , send a basket of charcoal to my mother, Gardenia, and take a charcoal basin to light a fire!"

"Yes!" Jiaqin and Zhizi happily responded and got busy.

I don't know when it will snow, I hope the bigger the better!Before returning to the house, Jin Liu glanced at the sky again, thinking expectantly...

On the eighteenth day of the winter month, the eldest lady received a letter from the old lady, saying that they had switched from land to water, and counting the days, they would arrive at Jinggukou, the closest ferry to the capital, in less than a day, because they had already done so beforehand. After making preparations, the mansion did not appear to be in a hurry, but regarding the matter of sending someone to pick up the old lady, it was just a request made by the old lady in the letter that made the lady a little confused.

"Ma'am, did the old lady say anything in the letter?" Zhou's mother added a piece of honey oil to the eight-treasure unicorn incense burner, and when she turned around, the old lady was still holding the letter from the old lady, and asked with concern.

The eldest lady looked up at Mother Zhou, handed over the letter, frowned and said, "Look."

Zhou's mother took the letter suspiciously, glanced at it briefly, raised her eyebrows, and said in surprise: "The old lady asked the third lady to go to Jinggukou to pick her up?"

The old lady came to Beijing for the first time, so it should be the elder master Jin Zhijiu or the second master Jin Tianchang to pick her up. Even if the two masters can't pick them up because of their official duties, and there is no adult male in the big house, it should be the second master Jin Zhengyang who is over 4 years old. It was time to go, but the old lady chose Jin Liu, the third lady of the big house.

What is Jin Liu's identity?It is the child of the woman whose wife was taken away by the eldest lady with great difficulty. The old lady has always refused to comment on what the eldest lady did before, and did not even ask. Mother Liu and her daughter rushed to live in the western courtyard, the most remote part of the mansion. They ignored them and worked as the main house for more than ten years with peace of mind. Lost my mind.

"Mother Zhou, what do you mean by the old lady? I kept mentioning that girl in my letters before, but this time I asked this girl to pick her up in person. Is it possible...she wants to flatter their mother and daughter?" The lady was a little worried asked.

Mother Zhou is also full of doubts. Although the old lady is in her hometown, as long as she speaks, the elder master and the second master who live far away in the capital can't say what they say, and they will never dare to disobey. It can be seen that her influence on the two rooms is just like the elder master's design. I believe that the old lady is very clear about the matter of the second master being the court envoy, but she suppressed the dissatisfaction of the second room and still let the elder master sit in the position of the court envoy. Temperament is absolutely impossible.

If such a person really wants to praise Mrs. Ru and Jin Liu, then Mrs. Zhou... Mother Zhou is not sure what the old lady is thinking, so she dare not answer casually.

"Absolutely not!" The lady patted the sour branch wooden kang table, and the blue and green tea bowl on the shaking table bounced, sat up straight, and said: "What is my identity? My father is Zhan Shi from the former Zhan Shifu. My lord, my two elder brothers are both in important positions, and my elder sister is the wife of the Ministry of Rites. How can I let a country woman overwhelm me? If the old lady is so ignorant, then I will be called disobedient, and I will definitely not obey! "

Although she said it harshly, when she thought that the arrival of the old lady would change her long-term success, the old lady felt trembling in her heart. She couldn't imagine what it would be like for Mrs. Ru to be equal to her one day, or even over her head Wouldn't she become a big laughing stock in the capital?
No!She absolutely cannot allow such a thing!

"Ma'am!" Seeing that the lady's face was flushed with excitement, Zhou's mother hurriedly pressed her hand, and said, "Ma'am, don't mess yourself up. We don't know what's going on with the old lady. In case ... What if the old lady didn't want to flatter Mrs. Ru, but just suddenly thought of Miss San as her own granddaughter?"

"This..." The eldest lady looked at Zhou's mother suspiciously.

"It's not impossible, isn't it?" Zhou's mother helped the eldest lady who was slowly relaxing to sit down, handed the tea bowl to her hand, and then said slowly: "Think about it, madam. These years, the old lady misses her grandson When she was a granddaughter, Madam would send the two young ladies and the two young masters of the second bedroom to her hometown to accompany the old lady for a period of time, but she never sent the third lady there, because she was afraid that the old lady would take pity on the third lady and develop feelings for the third lady. But the servant said something that shouldn't be said. The third lady is the granddaughter of the old lady, and she was conceived by the old lady's side. She should have feelings. Thinking about it this way, the old lady came to Beijing and asked the third lady to pick her up. There is nothing wrong with her as an old man, isn't she?"

"But if that's the case, why didn't she mention that girl before?" The eldest lady still had doubts, but she also somewhat believed Zhou's mother's words.

"This servant doesn't know." Zhou's mother shook her head. In her opinion, this old lady who had never met was just a powerful and elusive character. Madam, you can rest assured that if the old lady wants to uplift Mrs. Ru and let her be equal to you, she should be sent to the capital when the lady and the master get married, instead of waiting for the eldest lady to give birth to the eldest lady and then conceive the second lady Then send her here."

When the eldest lady entered the Jin family, the eldest master had already married Mrs. Ru, and the eldest lady entered the door as an ordinary wife. If the old lady wanted to suppress the eldest lady, she would send Mrs. Ru to the process early in the morning. On the day of entering the door, when she offered tea to Mrs. Ru, she shortened Mrs. Ru by a head, but the old lady didn't do that. Madam Ru was only sent to the capital when she was pregnant, and this matter has always made Da Furen very grateful.

In addition to the competition with the second room for the position of the court envoy, the old lady has always been helping their first room!

The madam's frightened and impetuous heart finally calmed down, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea before saying, "Maybe I'm really overthinking, so in my mother's opinion, let that girl Jin Liu pick up the old madam?"

Zhou's mother pondered for a while, and said: "Since the old lady appointed the third young lady to pick up the old man, according to the servants, it is better for the lady to follow the old lady's advice, and don't spoil the old lady's treatment of you at the beginning. impression."

"What mother said is true." The eldest lady looked at Zhou's mother and nodded, then took a deep breath and raised her voice outside: "Luozhu, go and ask Miss San to come over."

"Yes!" Luozhu replied loudly.

"Ma'am, this is..."

"That girl looks cute, but she is not a fuel-efficient lamp." The eldest lady looked at Zhou's mother, "I have to remind her a few words!"

After being informed by Luo Zhu, Jin Liu entered the Nuan Pavilion on the west side of Hermitage, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw the eldest lady half lying on the kang, wearing a thick and half-worn lake blue padded jacket, and wearing a The forehead is covered with crimson embroidered gold, and a bean-sized south bead is inlaid in the middle of the forehead. Mother Zhou is standing by the side of the kang, holding a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea in her hand, and is about to feed the lady, see her coming Then he took a step back and said, "Miss San, you are here."

Jin Liu nodded and looked at the eldest lady.

The eldest lady smiled at her, pushed away the spoon that Zhou's mother was about to hand over again and said with a frown: "I won't drink it, I can't stand the taste."

Zhou's mother looked at the soup in the bowl, and seeing that there was not much left, she nodded and handed the soup bowl to Luo Zhu for her to take it out, and took out the handkerchief and handed it to the eldest lady.

While wiping the soup from the corner of her mouth, the eldest lady beckoned to Jin Liu, signaling her to go over.

Jin Liu slowly approached the eldest lady, only to realize that she didn't salute, so she saluted in a panic and said, "Jin Liu greets mother, what's wrong with mother? Are you feeling unwell?"

The eldest lady was amused by Jin Liu's innocent appearance, touched her clothes, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the weather is cold, and you have caught some wind and cold, you are wearing such thin clothes, isn't it cold?"

"It's not cold, Jin Liu came here running, and he still feels hot now!" Jin Liu said with a smile.

"Girl, why are you running? It would be great if you fell!" The lady said with a smile, she pulled Jin Liu to sit on the small square stool beside the kang, and asked, "I was so busy a few days ago that I lost my head. Did you blame me for forgetting to send a copy to your yard?"

"Jin Liu dare not!" Jin Liu hurriedly wanted to stand up, but was pulled down by the eldest lady, and then she bowed her head and said, "Jin Liu is already very happy to be able to live in eldest sister's house, and dare not blame mother for these trivial matters, mother There are a lot of noble people, so it's normal not to remember such trivial things, besides, didn't mother ask someone to send things to Jin Liu in the end? Jin Liu hasn't come to thank mother yet!"

"That's what you deserve, thank you!" Da Furen said with a smile.

"The servant just said that the third lady is sensible." Zhou's mother smiled and said to the eldest lady: "When the servant delivered things to the third lady, the third lady also rewarded the servant with the cakes she made herself!"
