Seeing that Zhao Qing only lowered his head and teased the water without saying a word, Xia Zhu continued:

"Today, a few in-laws are sitting together, and when they mention hoarding grain, they are all red-eyed like something, especially Aunt Meng and Mrs. Zhuang, who are actually going to mortgage the dowry of the house to hoard grain, and say that our house is going to make a fortune this time, you can also see that the old lady and the eldest lady were so ......happy at that time" Xia Zhu shook his head dejectedly.

The eyes on that face are red, and they are selling their houses and land to stock up on grain, in their eyes, they don't know how many mountains of gold and silver they can earn back by hoarding grain...... At this moment, to convince them to throw away grain is tantamount to the sun hitting the west!

Zhao Qing slowly wiped his face and was speechless.

After all, she is thoughtful and knowledgeable, as long as the method is correct and the reason is explained, the old lady should be very persuasive, she is most worried that the old man and the big lady who have already made the mind faint will be unwilling, and in the end will openly disobey the old lady.

Everything is fragile in the face of huge interests!

However, this is the only way she can convince the Shen family, how can she know if it will work if she doesn't try?

After washing and changing into soft clothes, Zhao Qing leaned on the bed on the pillow, and chatted with Mother Wu, who had been guarding her and didn't dare to leave, about the second wife's mother's house:

“…… It turns out that the second wife is actually a concubine? ”

Mother Wu nodded.

"The second wife is the youngest daughter of the Jiang family, and there is a sister-in-law and three sisters-in-law."

No wonder so cowardly, it turned out to be the smallest.

Zhao Qing sighed.

Mother Wu continued: "At the beginning, the old lady also thought she was too submissive, but the second master wanted to marry. The old lady said that the Jiang family is a scholarly family with three jinshi, and if it weren't for the decline, we wouldn't be able to climb it. He also said that the fourth master Jiang and the fifth master Jiang are both knowledgeable, once they win the jinshi, the Shen family can also borrow light, and if the second master can get the guidance of the Jiang family, maybe he can also win the lintel of the jinshi. He sighed, "Who knows that the second master has been taking the exam for so many years, but he still hasn't achieved anything." It made the Jiang family more and more unwilling to see our wife......"

Feeling that the room was quiet, Wu's mother looked up.

Zhao Qing put half of his lotus arm on the outside of the quilt and was already asleep.

Mother Wu hurriedly stood up and gently supported her back. Motioned for Xia Zhu to change a low pillow, and carefully flattened it again.

Looking at Zhao Qing's peaceful sleeping position, Mother Wu couldn't help sighing, "Such a day." It also owes her a sense of relief. ”

“…… Yesterday, I tossed for most of the night. Mother Wu should also go back to the house and sleep for a while. Xia Zhu carefully put Zhao Qing's arm into the quilt and tucked the corners of the quilt again.

"Then, what's the matter for the little maid to call me?"

I haven't slept for most of the night, and I've been busy early in the morning until now, and my head hasn't been hit by a pillow, and Wu's mother is really tired, so she stood up after listening.

When I woke up, I opened my eyes and saw that it was dark outside, which startled Wu's mother. Hurriedly asked Bi Tao to inquire about the movement of the main house.

The third grandmother, Shen Zheng, woke up and went to the flower hall again. I had dinner and went to sleep. Bi Tao came back and said, "Sister Xia Zhu asked you to rest early, it's okay over there." ”

After eating a bite of dinner indiscriminately, Wu's mother was not at ease, so she asked Bi Tao to pick up the lantern, hurried to the main room, and insisted on guarding it herself.

couldn't twist her, so Xia Zhu asked the little maid to add a bed next to Chunlan's mattress in the warm pavilion next door, so that Wu's mother could rest inside, "...... If something happens, the slave will call you again. ”

Chatting with Chunlan without reaching anything, Wu's mother fell asleep unconsciously, and was suddenly awakened by a terrible scream.

The third master is here again!

Mother Wu sat up.

After being stunned for a moment, she followed the limping Chunlan to the back room, and saw Zhao Qing, who was sweating profusely, leaning on Xia Zhu's arms, and Wu's mother's face was sallow.

As soon as the morning dawned, I hurried to Puliuyuan.

The second wife got up and took her to Rongshoutang.

“…… Another night of tossing? The old lady who was sitting cross-legged on the big kang by the window, holding a magnifying lens, looking at the Ru kiln azure glazed flower goose given by the third lady, slowly raised her head.

"The minions themselves are guarding." Speaking of last night's scene, Wu's mother is still creepy, "...... The third grandmother also asked the slave if the Shen family had an ancestral motto of 'not competing with others for hegemony'? ”

"How can our family have such ancestral teachings? This is clearly haunted by imps. The second lady took it casually, and she looked at the old lady worriedly.

Looking at the sun, the old lady was bathed in the morning glow, vaguely unable to see the truth, the second wife did not notice that she had been bluffed when she heard the words "no competition with others", and the magnifying glass in her hand almost fell on the kang. He also said to himself, "The old lady is going to ask a Taoist priest to do the practice." He pointed to Mother Wu, whose face was sallow, her eye sockets were deep-set, and she looked haggard as if she was haunted by ghosts, "Even Mother Wu has been tossed into the like, and if it goes on like this...... is also thanks to her pungent temperament, strong in the bones, and if she changes someone, I am afraid that the child will be gone a long time ago. After a pause, "It's been more than five months, once ...... It's one corpse and two lives. ”

Although she hated Zhao Qing for being a troublemaker who refused to stop for a moment, after a few months of contact, the second wife also liked her honesty and straightforwardness in dealing with people. All the calculations are on the bright side, as long as you don't provoke, you won't get into trouble.

“…… The Fayuan Master of Fayuan Temple happened to come back from a tour, and the dojo was located in the Diecui Garden next to Lijing Pavilion, which was spacious and close to the third grandmother. Thinking of the idea given by Xue's mother before she came, the second wife said again, "Daughter-in-law, this is going to let people clean up the Diecui Garden and burn it to the fire cage?" ”

The old lady ignored her.

She turned her head to look at Mother Wu, "...... How did you get back? ”

"The slave said that the slave has been in the mansion for twenty years, and he has never heard of the ancestor having such a legacy."

"What did the third grandmother say?" The old lady looked at her intently.

Mother Wu was stunned.

"It seems to be ......," she thought for a long time, "the third grandmother seemed to suddenly put her mind at ease, and muttered to herself, 'What words are not true', and the slave didn't listen to the real light, so she asked her what kind of dream the third master was holding, who knew that she was so frightened that she shrunk into a ball like a ghost." ”

"Old lady ......" Seeing that she was asking about something useless, and only didn't mention the matter of the Fayuan Master, the second lady was a little anxious.

"I see." The Heavenly Monarch waved his hand at her, "You go back first." ”

"Old lady......" The second lady's face turned red.

The old lady was already holding a magnifying glass and continued to look at the azure glazed flowers of the Ru kiln.

The second wife's lips moved for a long time, and she bowed to the old lady and quietly withdrew.

Qingmei served the tea, and when she saw that the second wife had left, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Mother Tian took the opportunity to pour a cup and handed it forward, and persuaded in a low voice, "In the end, it is the only blood and bone of the third master, once there is a mistake...... The old lady might as well invite the Dharma Master to come in. ”

Everyone looked at the old lady with a blank eye.

"Prepare the sedan chair, let's go see her." The old lady put down the magnification realm and straightened her waist. (To be continued......)
