The beauty of the lady

Chapter 116 Accident (2)
This morning, the two wives came and went, and their talk was full of twists and turns, and the needle pointed to the wheat.

After having breakfast in the Sandalwood Courtyard, Zhou Mei came out. The warm sun was hanging high outside, and the sun was indescribably comfortable on her body.

Zhou Mei turned her head and said to Nanny Sun who sent her out: "Mommy, the sun is very good today, more sun exposure can make your body stronger. Don't let grandma always sit on the bed when you are tired or have nothing to do. In the house, accompany her out for a walk more, the body will be more comfortable, and the food intake will also increase, the weather is dry, let her drink more hot soup at ordinary times."

"Yes, Miss Biao, this old slave has memorized it." Nanny Sun still remembered what the miraculous doctor Miss Biao said.

Next to her, Zhao Ruolan snorted coldly, raised a pair of slender phoenix eyes and looked down at Zhou Mei.

"Don't think that if you please your mother, you will really walk away in the Hou's mansion. You are an outsider, remember your identity clearly."

"..." Zhou Mei was speechless, she always remembered it.

In other words, has she done anything excessive?Did the young lady in front of her take the wrong medicine?

Zhao Ruoxian tugged at the elder sister's sleeve beside her, "Elder sister, it's time for us to find Mr. to practice the piano."

"Understood." Zhao Ruolan nodded, "Be disciplined in the mansion, don't do anything that will damage the face of the Hou Mansion, otherwise I will never let you go."

It was only after the two sisters walked far away that Zhou Mei came back to her senses and went to Shicui Courtyard with a leisurely expression.

On the way, Zhao Ruoxian looked at his eldest sister, and didn't understand how a person who was usually very proud would take the initiative to provoke Zhou Mei.

"Sister, what happened to you just now? Didn't you tell my brother and I not to pay attention to Zhou Mei a few days ago?" Now that you are actively looking for trouble, I don't know what your mother will say when she finds out.

Zhao Ruolan looked down at her younger sister, and sighed, "You think Eldest Sister wants to trouble her? You haven't seen how much mother protects her now, if this continues, let alone Eldest Sister, even you two mothers All the darlings in my heart have to stand back, and I don’t know where some niece came out of, who do you think I am, our Hou’s mansion can be climbed up by casual cats and dogs?"

"Eldest sister, no matter what, she is also our niece, and at that time, Mrs. Zhou seemed like she didn't want Zhou Mei to live in our house. You'd better relax." Zhao Chengfei, the little son next to him, pretended to understand. He said: "Besides, I am the eldest son of the Hou Mansion after all, and I will be the master of the house in the future. Mother will not favor her."

"I think what the third brother said is right, the eldest sister should bear with it."

Looking at the pair of younger brothers and sisters, Zhao Ruolan secretly sighed in her heart that she was taken care of so well by her mother, completely ignorant of the sinister human heart.

She raised her hand and nodded between the eyebrows of the two, and said bitterly: "You guys, what do you know? If mother doesn't care about them, she is a merchant woman. What kind of good marriage can she find? Which one in Beijing? A serious family would marry a merchant girl? But it is different now in the Hou Mansion. From now on, all you will come into contact with are honorable families. Think about it. Especially you, little girl, the elder sister’s marriage has already been decided. You are different. In a few years, you will have to discuss marriage. If she gets married from the Hou's mansion, your mother will definitely have to pay a dowry. Then you will have less? It's really heartless. "

Hearing what Zhao Ruolan said, Zhao Ruoxian thought about it and it was true, but this matter was decided by her mother, so she couldn't refute it, right?

"Then what did the eldest sister say?"

"What else can I do? Of course I want to find a way to drive her away."

Zhao Chengfei directly refused, "No."

"Why?" the two sisters asked in unison.

"Sister, don't forget, Mother's purpose for letting Zhou Mei live in." Zhao Chengfei said, "I'm pretty clear about the situation in our Hou's mansion. Ever since my grandfather's house was ransacked, our mansion has been unable to make ends meet, and our shop There are only four or five of my mother's houses left. The mansion needs money to maintain the appearance of the mansion, as well as our usual food and clothing, and the monthly money of the servants. Mother said that although there are not many shops in the Zhou mansion now, But every family is very profitable, what I heard from my mother is that the Zhou family now has at least 10,000+ taels of property, so please think about it carefully, what should I do?"

After finishing speaking, he took the servant with him to the front yard.

It has to be said that although Zhao Chengfei is only ten years old, he was taught by Mrs. Sun to be very thoughtful and scheming.

Back at Shicui Courtyard, Chunqin was so angry that she almost lost her mind.

"Miss, what does Eldest Miss mean? You still remember your identity clearly, why didn't we remember? If Madam didn't keep Miss, why should we be angry with them? It's unreasonable, it's too much."

"Miss, I think Sister Chunqin is right. The slaves don't like the Hou Mansion. When are we going back?" Dong Hua also echoed.

Zhou Mei changed into a looser dress, stood up and said to them, "Let's go!"

Xia Qi's expression was a bit astonished, but the remaining three girls were so happy that they stood up and prepared to go to the warehouse to carry the box.

"Miss, are we really going back home?" Xia Qi asked with some uncertainty.

Zhou Mei blinked, looked at her puzzled, and said, "Who said to go back home?"

"Didn't Miss just say that she wanted to leave? Where are we going if we don't go back to the manor?" The three girls who wanted to rush out all stopped and turned around and asked.

Only then did Zhou Mei realize that the three girls had misunderstood, and couldn't help laughing.

"I said go and have a look at Uncle's place, you guys, you can think wildly." It's getting colder outside, entering October is like entering winter, and the northwest wind that is gradually turning can't be ignored, "Hou Mansion, we are going to If I continue to live, if I don’t get the result I expected, how can I leave.”

Except for Xia Qi, the other three collapsed in an instant.

"Miss, it's true." Chunqin wanted to cry.

"It's clear that the servant girl wants to go back to the house." Dong Hua also had a small face in mourning.

"Although we are servants of a merchant's family, the servant feels that even if we sit next to the queen, we are not willing to change." What's more, it is only a small Hou's mansion.

Xia Qi came over and patted the shoulders of the three of them respectively, feeling a bit of sympathy for each other.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Mei was speechless.

When he came to Zhuxun Courtyard, he saw that in the gazebo in the courtyard, Zhao Chengyin's legs were wrapped in thick fur felt, playing with the chessboard in front of him. When Zhou Mei approached, he raised his head and dropped a piece of chessboard in his hand. He smiled and said, "Meier is here."

"Uncle, your legs are still growing. You can't blow the cold wind outside for too long. It should be no more than two hours a day." She went to the stone bench opposite and sat down, because there was a stove under the stone table, It was filled with coal, so she raised her hand to touch it, and the tentacles were warm, which made her feel so delicate.
