The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

Pass the ivory comb to Calamus and ask her to comb her hair.

Xu Hui went back to the Xu Mansion this time to ask her sister-in-law Lu to find two nuns.After a few days, there was a reply. It was the two aunts who taught Xu Zhao the rules, one surnamed Cao and the other surnamed Gongsun.After bringing the two of them back, she asked Jia Wan to meet them face to face, so she ordered the house to be tidied up for the two aunts to stay in and rest first, and formally taught Jia Wan the palace rules from the next day.

"The two aunts look very serious. Just now I saw that the rules of salute have not been relaxed at all. After all, they are old people in the palace for many years." Shen said while hugging Jia Rui.

"The rules in the palace are the strictest. Although they are released, everything they say and do carries the habits developed in the palace." Xu Hui put her arms around Jia Qian who was acting like a baby in her arms, "In a blink of an eye, Sister Qian followed the Brother Peng is already so old, what do you and Lian'er think, have you thought about when to hire them a master?"

"The daughter-in-law has discussed with the second master Lian. The two great scholars who taught the second master Lian in the past are very good, and the second master Lian also wants to invite them to teach in the mansion again." I specially hired a female teacher to teach, but that Master Guan is not in the house now. The daughter-in-law thinks that my sister is still young, so it’s okay to let her study with my brother for a while, and I will find another one when she is older. Just a female master."

"That's good." Xu Hui calculated silently. That Master Guan has been taken to Gao's house in the city now, and he won't be able to come back for a while. You can also inquire about the female master who knows how to do poetry and calligraphy."

"Daughter-in-law knows." Jia Rui in her arms was struggling to get off the ground, but Shen could only let him down, and saw him running to Xu Hui's side in a hurry, and he had to get into Xu Hui's arms before he was willing to rest, so she smiled and said, "Rui My brother just likes his wife, and when he sees his wife, he must be hugged by her."

Jia Qian gave way to her younger brother, quickly got out of Xu Hui's arms, and teased Jia Rui with a snack wrapped in oiled paper from her purse.Seeing this pastry, Shen frowned slightly, and asked, "Qian'er, who gave you this pastry?"

"I brought it from Daddy's study." Jia Qian replied obediently, "At that time, Qian Zhu, who was beside Grandma, came to Daddy and said that she was bringing snacks to Daddy at the behest of Grandma. Daddy was studying in the study and didn't have time to talk to her. , I was hungry at that time, so I took out some snacks."

"Oh, when did it happen?" Xu Hui recalled that Jia Lian was taking a rest today, and motioned for Cui'er to take away the dim sum in her hand, "This dim sum is not good if it is not fresh, Madam asked the kitchen to make some fresh and hot ones for you." Here, there is sister Qian's favorite steamed new chestnut flour cake with sweet-scented osmanthus."

Jia Qian cheered: "It happened this morning. Grandma is out, and mother is in the house to settle the accounts. I saw Qian Zhu dressed very beautifully when I passed by Dad's study."

"This morning? It seems that I'm getting old, but I don't remember telling her that I'm going to deliver snacks to Lian'er." Xu Hui laughed and said, "Go and call Qianzhu for me."

"It's not that the wife is old, it's clear that someone has evil intentions." Shen's eyes darkened, and she twitched the corners of her mouth and sneered.She and Jia Lian have a deep affection, and no one else in the room will intervene between them except Caiying.This Qianzhu is "excellent", because he is a person close to his wife, so the second master Lian dares to falsely pass on his wife's words because he is a person close to his wife.

There was nothing wrong with the snacks, but Qian Zhu sent Jia Lian something under the guise of Xu Hui's name to provoke the dignity of Xu Hui and Shen.Changpu looked at Qianzhu who was kneeling underneath, feeling worried and complaining in his heart.She herself always likes to say a few words, but there are some things Jinmian was strictly forbidden to do before, why Qianzhu is so careless and wants to do it!

"You are outstanding. You can even falsely pass on my words. This time it was just an excuse to deliver food to Lian'er. Next time, you may do something more outrageous. I really want to I miss a girl like you." Xu Hui looked at Qianzhu coldly, staring at her until cold sweat broke out on her back.

Qian Zhu knelt on the ground and grasped the corners of her skirt with both hands. She was just angry, but his wife has been using Qingwen more and more recently, and the old lady was nagging in her ears how handsome and talented Second Master Lian is, so she did that in a moment of obsession. things to come.To be honest, she regretted it when she first stepped into Jia Lian's study that day. The hand holding the snack trembled slightly, and her voice trembled when she spoke, but the second master Lian didn't hear it.Afterwards, she regretted it even more. She was afraid that others would know that she had done such a thing, and she was even more afraid of appearing in front of her wife. That's why she just kept looking at the chicken soup stewed for Xu Hui in the kitchen.

"Do you have anything to say? Don't say that I wronged you or wronged you." Xu Hui held the teacup but didn't drink the tea. She just flipped the lid of the tea again and again. Qianzhu's ear was as piercing as the sound of sharpening a knife, which made her shiver unconsciously.

"The maidservant was just fascinated by ghosts for a while, and didn't intend to impersonate the wife." Qianzhu said quickly, "The maidservant just felt that the wife used Qingwen a lot during this time, so she did such a thing out of anger for a while, begging the wife and Lian's second mistress forgive."

"When Lian's daughter-in-law married in the past, I told my in-laws that I will never interfere with the master's affairs. You are kind, you went to Lian'er's study in my name, what do you want to do? You know it well in your heart. This time, you are wise and don’t use any low-level tricks, otherwise, what will the Shen family think if it spreads out? Do we want to save the face of Rongguo Mansion!" Xu Hui said coldly, "Aren't you angry at Qingwen's dexterous hands and feet? My thoughtfulness won my heart, so I ran to Lian'er's yard to spread my words; maybe in the future, if you think I'm not pleasing to the eye, you will poison me to death to let you down!"

"I don't dare!" Qianzhu cried, "I know I'm wrong, I beg my wife to forgive me, I don't dare anymore!"

"Don't be angry, madam." Shen urged, "She hasn't done anything outrageous yet, but what should madam do if she sees it?" There was no further action, at best it was an attempted seduction.

"I can't stand a girl with such thoughts by my side, let's get rid of her." Xu Hui snorted, and directly settled on Qianzhu's future, "And their family, all sent to Zhuangzi."

"Madam, servant is really wrong, madam, please don't throw this servant out, this servant really knows it's wrong!" Qianzhu knelt down a few steps and grabbed the hem of Xu Hui's dress, begging for mercy, "Madam, this servant really knows that I was wrong Please don't drive the servant and the servant's family out of the house!"

Getting kicked out means that they can no longer stay in the Rongguo Mansion, and their families have children who are born for life and cannot go out to make a living, which is equivalent to losing their monthly income.The family's relegation to Zhuangzi also lost the opportunity to make money in the mansion, which is undoubtedly a disaster for Qianzhu, who has delicious snacks and drinks.

Xu Hui, on the other hand, made up her mind not to even look at her, she pulled the corner of her skirt and told Calamus, "Go out and ask the old lady to come in, and take Qian Zhu away!"

Calamus was so frightened that he immediately came back to his senses, and ran out quickly with his head down, not daring to look at Qianzhu, let alone say a word of intercession for her.This time Qianzhu really went too far, fortunately there was no scandal, otherwise the reputation of the second master Lian would be damaged, and it would not be as simple as being kicked out of the house!

"What's the matter with Qianzhu, her old lady came to cry just now, and begged me not to drive their whole family to Zhuangzi for the sake of their family serving in the mansion for many years, it made me have a headache. "Mother Jia came to Xu Hui and asked, "Why did you suddenly send their family to Zhuangzi?"

"It's not because of her own indiscretion, while I and Lian's daughter-in-law are busy, she used my name to deliver things to Lian'er." Xu Hui said a few words, "The Shen family is very popular now, and I promised it before." The in-laws didn't care about the direct affairs between Lian'er and Lian's daughter-in-law, but Qianzhu was so bold and reckless. I didn't want to throw her out if there was such a malicious person around me. Her old lady was not a worry-free person. The mansion has caught a lot of oil and water, and I think it is enough, so I simply sent their family to Zhuangzi, and they will come back when they think it over."

Jia Mu's eyes darkened, and she said, "If that's the case, let them stay in the village." Jia Lian is now the sole heir of the Rongguo Mansion, and now he is doing well in the Ministry of Rites, let alone get involved with it now. What a bad rumour.If it was reported at this time that he had an affair with the maid next to his biological mother, would his reputation still be worth it?No wonder She's daughter-in-law is so determined to drive Qianzhu's family out of the house.

"Fortunately, nothing happened this time, otherwise our house would lose face." Xu Hui took a sip of tea, "Let's not talk about these spoilers. The old lady's birthday is coming, and I heard that a For the troupe who sing Huangmei Opera, why not invite them into the mansion to sing an opera for the old lady."

"Alright," Jia Mu nodded and said, "I haven't seen Baoyu for a long time. I heard that he has been studying hard during this time. Let someone clean up my wing room here. I will pick him up to stay for a while. And Xiang Yun that girl, I haven't seen her for a long time, this time I'll take her over and stay here for a while."

Xu Hui's expression didn't change, but she just asked, "Has the old lady discussed it with the second master?" Jia Zheng seemed to value Jia Baoyu's study very much. Going to play, it is not so simple for the old lady to pick him up for a short stay
