Chapter 51 The Two Young Masters

The old lady made up her mind, and she was not in the mood to comment on good or bad, so she just smiled and waved her hands: "Yes, after all, you are at the age of a flower, and you look good when you wear them. You have good eyesight, and the ones you choose really match. These three Beads are also extremely rare, and it’s best to bring them in summer, okay, let’s go, I’m really tired.” Mother Shi has a lot of things going on outside, she has to go out after she gets back, old lady It can only be to send away the granddaughters first.

The three ladies looked at the old lady's tired face, and didn't think much about it. Besides, they knew that today was a bit of a delay, and they got something good by accident, so they didn't say much, and politely left.

Seeing the three ladies walking away, Xia Hua hurriedly put down the box in her hand, turned to the back of the old lady, helped her massage the acupuncture points on her head, and asked a little confused: "Is the old lady tired? It's rare for you to feel better today. You should have rested for a while, but you think of the bracelet again, you! I just love to worry about it. I will arrange for the slaves to deliver this item later. It won't tire you, slaves You can also get some rewards from Qiao Zong'er."

Her witty words made the old lady laugh, so she pushed her hand away and scolded: "You! I don't usually reward you enough? You are in charge of my belongings. What do you want? Just pick it up, why bother to come to me and cry poorly, okay, okay, look at you poor, don’t you still have something left in your hand that you haven’t given away, go choose a nice box to put it in and send it to the young master In the madam's yard, there is Zong's good errand, and the rewards from the eldest and youngest madam are no better than elsewhere, you just don't want to come back after you get something." Xia Hua knows how to do things, so she definitely won't just take three skewers out, That's why she said so.

Xia Hua heard this, thought for a while, and said a little hesitantly: "Old lady, it's better to find an excuse, I can't just give this bracelet in a hurry, right? I feel that the slaves are greedy for money." After finishing speaking, she laughed, but in her heart she was extremely unwilling to go to the second master's room, the eldest young master is a better person, the second master and the second young master are a bit serious in color, and she Don't want to cling, try to avoid as much as possible.

Probably seeing Xia Hua's hesitation, Mama Shi thought about the behavior of those people in the second room, and then she understood that Xia Hua treats her well, and she doesn't mind giving it to the old lady if she talks nicely again. This girl sold well, and it happened that there was no one else here, so she smiled and said: "The old lady is really embarrassing, these three young ladies just got something, and you are rushing to give it to the eldest and young lady, it can be seen that I feel sorry for the eldest young lady, and the young lady should say that you are biased."

The old lady wanted to give it to the young lady, but she took the opportunity to send Xia Hua out so that she could talk to the Shi family. Just as Xia Hua said that witty thing, she let Xia Hua go along and was caught When Mother Shi said it, she felt that something was wrong. The eldest daughter-in-law, Peifeng, was her natal niece and granddaughter. Set up more rules, if you are too partial, it's not good, so he smiled and said: "It's hard for you two to always think carefully, it's because I think wrongly, I'm just worried that her summer heat will disappear, children People at home can’t stand the heat.”

After Xia Hua heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Since the old lady is worried about this, the maidservant can go there and ask how the young lady's pills are doing? See if she wants to eat something already. The old lady doesn’t have anything here, so you can just tell me what the young lady wants to eat, and the servant girl will order someone to deliver it as soon as she comes back. Painful young lady."

Mother Shi nodded and said: "Yes, it doesn't matter, Xia Hua is really more considerate now, the old lady has her by her side, it saves a lot of trouble, now she looks like a big girl, I don't know what will happen in the future Whoever is lucky will get it." After speaking, he glanced at the old lady slightly.

When the old lady heard this, she frowned slightly, then smiled lightly and said: "No hurry, I must find a good and reliable one for this girl before I can rest assured, otherwise I will treat this girl badly, you Don't listen to that bastard woman, come here to sue me! Xia Hua, I won't agree to it lightly." The old lady trusts Xia Hua the most now, and it's no wonder that the old lady believes her, Xia Hua is a girl who does her own business. How could the old lady send her away so easily if she was thoughtful and not greedy?

Mama Shi really heard what an old sister on the other side of the second room mentioned, thinking that her son is getting older, if she can ask the big girls who have been served by the old ladies and wives, it would be a decent thing, she Seeing Xia Hua, I mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally. I didn't want to touch the old lady's bad luck. I was really talkative, so I said with a bit of embarrassment on my face: "But I didn't hear anyone talking nonsense, but I just looked at Xia Hua, love. No way, that's what I said, the old lady has to hide it well, don't let people see it, not even the old slave is tempted, I just hate that there is no one in the family who is of a suitable age, otherwise I have to be cheeky I begged, it can be seen that the old lady can take care of people."

Hearing this, Xia Hua couldn't stay still anymore. Although she also wanted to be hired out, no matter if she was a servant or a manager, it was always better to be a lady than to be a concubine. It's a pity that everything depends on the old lady, so she listened to the old lady. My wife didn't know what mood I was in when I said this. Fortunately, she is not too old, and it will be a few years later. Seeing that Mama Shi's words became more and more out of character, she hurriedly hugged the box and said with a blushing face. : "Mother Shi is used to making jokes about people. The servant is very vulgar, but she can't take it seriously. Old lady, the servant will go to the eldest and young lady to have a look. If there is anything, I will report to you." After finishing speaking, she was ready to go out. Walk.

Seeing that she was embarrassed, the old lady felt distressed after all, so she said: "Okay, you are so pitiful, go down, oh, by the way, don't rush to go now, and don't care who will be sent when you turn around and wait for the next afternoon." It's the same when I go, if I don't have to be in a hurry, it seems that my old woman is tormenting people. The girl Peifeng suffered from heatstroke yesterday, and she probably hasn't recovered quickly. She must sleep more this morning. If you go, she can't Struggling to get up and thanking her, if she gets tired again, it would be unbeautiful, so it would be okay to wait a little longer."

Xia Hua had no choice but to go, and quickly replied: "Yes, listen to the old lady, I will go down first and get the things ready, and I will forget about it if I don't have to look back." Seeing the old lady nodding, she also went down When I left, I knew that the old lady had something to say with Shi's mother, and she deliberately took away the little girls who were waiting by the door.

Seeing her leave, Mother Shi sighed: "Our old lady is the most kind. Which grandmother is so considerate for her children and grandchildren? It's really a blessing for the young lady to meet our old lady."

The old lady was happy when she heard this, and she smiled and said: "Okay, don't be talkative, sit down quickly, I don't want anyone to tell you about a kind old lady, but Peifeng is the granddaughter of my eldest brother in my natal family. It was because of my face that I asked her to marry Yuan Geer. Fortunately, Yuan Geer can be regarded as an upright person, and his knowledge is good now. When he is admitted to Juren, he will study for a few more years, and if he wants to be selected It is not difficult to become a Jinshi, and then I will really be trusted by my natal brother."

Mama Shi knew that what the old lady said was not true, but she didn't care about it. Originally, this was not something she should care about as a servant, so she smiled and said: "The old lady has put in all her heart and soul for the young master. I think that in the future the young master will definitely be named on the gold list, although the old slave has little knowledge, but looking at the men in the mansion with cold eyes, it is considered that the young master has a good literary talent and is also modest, the old lady just wait and see."

The old lady likes to hear people exaggerate the young master, so she smiled and said: "You can see it too, it's no wonder that I prefer brother Yuan a little bit, look, I'm afraid he is the one who misses me the most in the whole house In the early years when he was just born, his body was not very good, and he was the eldest grandson, so he felt so sorry for me, so I insisted on bringing him by my side to take care of him personally, and then he took care of the child, even if the child is not in good health now. Those children are strong, and when I think of this, I feel distressed. I wish I could give him all the good things in the world, and this child has one thing. He is gentle and gentle, and he doesn’t speak loudly to anyone. Don’t say I love you. Even the old man loved him very much when he was alive."

This is true, Mother Shi also lamented, although this eldest young master is not considered as the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion, he is really lovely. He is even more handsome if he is a talented person. Not only is he good at reading, but he is also very filial, especially close to the old lady. It is no wonder that he grew up next to the old lady. That is, the third young master in the mansion of the eldest son of the Duke of the country.

However, according to Mama Shi, apart from the matter of the third young master's grandfather's house, he is not liked by the old lady, it is his temperament. For example, she doesn't know if she is good at reading or not, as an old lady, she hasn't heard anyone mention it, but she is very good at riding a bow and arrow with a stick and a big sword. Qi, how do you say this makes people dare to get close?

Mother Shi thought, if the third young master went to the battlefield and killed the enemy like the old master in the future, it would be even more terrifying. She couldn't recover for a long time, but the current Duke is better, with a smile on his face, and a gentler person, but he also has the evil spirit of killing people, no wonder the old lady likes to raise him herself The second master of the old country is not very close to the elder master who has been brought up by the old man, if you say she probably can't get close.

Thinking of the old lady's plans, Mother Shi felt for the first time that it would be really good if the young master took over the Duke's mansion in the future. They are considered old ladies, and the young master will treat them kindly for the sake of the old lady. , besides, they also served the eldest and young master when he was a child, and they were affectionate.
