Other people's families have always had dinner at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but only theirs, lunch at half past twelve at noon, dinner will be more than five o'clock in the evening, and then drink some tonic soup an hour before going to bed, and generally go to bed after half past nine. Now the whole house walks according to the time of the pearl. Of course, this didn't have a big impact on Qin Hui, he even sometimes got hungry at noon, and instead of eating snacks and drinking tea with those subordinates, he went to the backyard to have lunch with his wife.

But because of today's banquet, you have to come according to everyone's habits, at three o'clock, just to start the meal, before that, Pearl went to the backyard, first went to see the second young master Qin Dezhang, he is really the best to speak, when he saw Pearl, he said,

"Oh, my mother, you are so young and beautiful, my father is ......" The little guy next to him pulled the corner of his clothes, Qin Dezhang saluted the pearl seriously this time, and said, "Say hello to my mother." ”

Pearl also felt a lot more relieved, and said with a smile, "It's hard to travel, if you wash up and don't get tired, go to your father's place to eat!" ”

"Okay, then, Mother, I'll take my leave! Oh, by the way, you make this dress very well with my heart, thank you. Qin Dezhang walked a few steps before remembering this incident, and turned back to tell Pearl.

After seeing the second young master, I immediately went to the Huiyuan in the back, Qin Min was arranged here, this girl is also eight years old now, since she changed the grandmother and the waiting person, and asked the person sent by Pearl to isolate her from the old lady, this girl is now changing very quickly. Originally, the child's ears were soft, and it was not how adults taught them. What do you do? When I arrived in Huiyuan, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw that several girls and grandmothers were busy working, and when they saw the pearl, they all knelt down and saluted. The pearl is the master of their pearls, and they have also seen the means of pearls, and when they encounter disobedient, cheating and treacherous minions, the method of pearls is to sell them directly to private tooth shops, and go into the subordinates there. I didn't get the good ones. Pearls are sent to the past. He did not even collect the money he sold, as if the tooth shop were a place to collect rags. In this way, those who have made mistakes will go somewhere. It's all up to the pearls. And. There are a few situations with pearls. Often likes to sit together, that is, if you are a girl to eat. Then needless to say, your parents and brothers, even the seven aunts and eight aunts, are all dragged out, and even the godparents you recognize have to be sold. Of course, everyone keeps such taboos in mind, and on weekdays, it is more about saying that the lady is generous, the monthly salary is high, the red envelopes for the New Year and the holidays are given more, and there are dividends at the end of the year, and it is stupid to leave such a good place.

Therefore, this is the reason why Qin Min's subordinates are so respectful to pearls. Knowing that the pearl was coming, he walked out of the house wearing a red embroidered jacket skirt, combing a double flat bun, and wearing a seven-color gemstone and diamond headband given by the pearl on his head, which was fixed on the left and right two small buns, with a pink bright moon on his ears, and a gold-inlaid jade-inlaid jewel ring on his neck was very dazzling. Look at the girl's face again, it is white and pure, a little thin, and her face is a little pale. Seeing the pearl coming, a grandmother beside her said,

"Miss, this is the eldest lady of our family, you have to call your mother."

Qin Min pursed his lips, as if he was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke, "Mother! ”

"Well, good boy, but hungry? Do you want to go to the front and let your sister-in-law lead you to the banquet? "Although Kong's is very busy, but the little girls are sensitive, it's not good to exclude them, not to mention that the people who came today are all friends with people, if they don't see it, Pearl is worried that someone will gossip in the future.

Qin Min looked at the grandmother behind him, thought for a while and said, "I'm a little tired, can I go down?" ”

Although this little girl is cowardly, she still has an idea, which is very good, since she called her mother with acquaintance, of course Pearl gave face, and said, "Okay, then next time, you must be tired, I will let someone bring you food." Shun'er's family, you go to the kitchen to have a look, serve some of the girls like to eat, if not, let them go to the small kitchen to do it, you know? ”

This Shun'er's family is Qin Min's grandmother, a very smart person, especially who can look at the face, and the embroidery is very good, and it is not for nothing that Pearl chose her to go. Shun'er's family immediately said, "Yes, madam, the slave and maid will go and prepare." ”

"By the way, tell the kitchen, the girl's food likes and taboos, it's wrong, I'm still waiting to see a red one!" Pearl said this, and the people were a little scared. Because the pearl was used, at that time, a mother-in-law on the Zhuangzi went out to say that there was a glass factory in the Zhuangzi, so she got this reward, and the trouble was very big, and the people were a little scared.

Shun's daughter-in-law immediately said, "Yes, the slave and maid will go and prepare." ”

Pearl lowered her head again and said to Qin Min, "If you have anything you like, it's not good to tell me, just tell the people around you." But whatever you have at home, your mother can get it, you can buy it, your father is very concerned about you, often say, our eldest lady, is the best child, and you are a concubine, the status is also noble, there is nothing to do, don't be afraid, you know? ”

"Yes, Mother."

Pearl said a few more words, and then left, no way, there are guests to accompany in front of you! Fortunately, the second young master and the eldest lady are surrounded by their own people, and they naturally will not let the two masters live an uncomfortable life.

On the way back, a little girl followed, she was the person sent by Pearl, and it was Pearl who gave her a hint when she came up, Pearl walked back slowly, and the little girl caught up.

"Madame!"

"Let's talk about it!" Pearl said, Qin Hui sent his aunt and spare aunt back to the old lady, it is impossible for the old lady of the Qin family not to react, Pearl is also curious, what did Qin Hui tell the old lady, when the person is replaced, can someone jump out?

"The old man sent a letter to his family, the old lady saw someone, took the letter, was very angry, and also said something unpleasant to those of us who went to wait, but I don't know how the letter said, although the old lady was not happy, but still let us wait, I heard that the original waiter, there is no shadow, this slave maid also inquired, I heard that some bought, some went to Zhuangzi, some simply have no shadow, we can't find out anything. The slaves and maids went to the second young master and the eldest lady to wait, the second young master didn't say anything, the eldest lady began to be a little unaccustomed, but the grandmother is powerful, said the rules, said the reason, and invited the master to teach, the girl began to be reluctant, but several times when she went out and was praised, but she was also happy. Mrs. sent something, she originally liked, but the original nurse is an old lady's person, naturally will not say good things for Mrs., a few of us told the reason for this matter to the eldest lady, after all, it is still a child, to quickly accept Mrs. 's heart. ”

"Don't look at her young age, her mind may not be small, if it is really a simple child, I take care of one or two, but it's nothing, I'm afraid that she knows in her heart, seeing that all the people around her have been replaced, she is a child with a heart, she must understand the key, knowing that the old lady can't protect her, she naturally wants to take refuge in the more powerful party." Pearl said,

The little girl said, "Which one does Madame think is better?" ”

"Naturally, I like the first one, if she is just a simple-minded little girl, I am also willing to teach her, promise her a good future, and treat her as my own. If it is another kind, what Mrs. hates most is to be used by others and pay a lot, but in the end she just raised a white-eyed wolf! Pearl said through gritted teeth, and then said to the little girl, "Go back!" Save yourself from being seen by others, pay attention to me, what kind of person she is, you people around you are the most observable, don't give me a loose guard, if you do a good job, your benefits are indispensable. She can't pretend every day, it won't be long, go ahead! ”

Pearl felt that this matter was not small, and the master took his daughter over, even if he didn't mention it to her personally, it was her duty to raise her. Even if the master doesn't mention it, she has to mention it herself, so how to treat this little girl has become a question that must be chosen. Pearl not only has to observe herself, but the people around her have to help her observe, a person will hide again, but it is impossible to wear a mask forever, and the people around her are the most useful at this time.

After sending the little girl, Pearl returned to the banquet, someone asked, Pearl did not hide it, and told everyone the news that the three former children of the family were here, anyway, they will know in the future. Pearl also said, the second young master is fine, go to the banquet, the eldest lady is a little tired, the girl is still young, I can't bear her hard work, so let the small kitchen prepare the food she likes to send away. Everyone praised the pearl for its virtue. Pearl smiled modestly and said,

"It is said that it is not easy to be a stepmother, and I am also worried, I am still young, so I can only treat each other with sincerity, not for merit, but for no fault."

"What Madame said is that being someone's stepmother and doing well is what it should be, but if there is a little bit of a mistake in doing it, won't it make people talk?" One of the ladies said that although she was not someone's stepmother, she had seen a lot of stepmothers.

Others also agreed, some people said that this stepmother is not easy to do, and some people also persuaded pearls to forget about it, no matter what, it is not ripe. This remark was echoed by some people. Pearl said that even if it is for the sake of the master's face, he must do his best. Everyone praised again, but no matter how everyone comforted her, Pearl's brows did not loosen, and everyone felt pitiful, they were all the same age as their stepson, but they became other people's mothers, not to mention that this party was not adaptable, even if others looked at it, it was absolutely disobedient.

Pearl still thinks of Qin Min in her heart, this girl looks good, her appearance has a dignified and gentle taste, how old is it, she is so old, how can she not let Pearl pay attention to it! Either the old lady is not easy to mix, or this girl feels sorry for herself. On the contrary, it is more worrying than the two eldest sons. (To be continued.) )
