Does the villain stepmother have a headache again today!

And also willing to spend!

Things that are not available in the Nanping Marquis Mansion, but Madam can buy them here, it should be because she knows Madam likes them on weekdays and is willing to spend money, so she specially keeps them for Madam.

Otherwise, you may not be able to find it if you hold Buddha's feet temporarily.

Only then did Zimi smile, and blessed her, "Mother Yuan, the servant has gone to the Huxin Pavilion first, Madam is still waiting."

"Hey, good." Yuan Ma nodded.

Seeing Zimi walking quickly towards the Huxin Pavilion, Yuan Ma followed suit.

There is a cool breeze in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and the light curtains block the sunlight, but they can't hide the coolness of the lake breeze.

The wind from the lake blows the veil, and the person sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake drinking tea and reading a book, who is not his wife?

Yuan Ma was originally hesitating whether to take a shortcut around the Huxin Pavilion.

Although I saw Zimi just now, the lady is resting at the Huxin Pavilion, and she is still cleaning up if she doesn't come forward to bother her.

But if she passed by the Huxin Pavilion, she would definitely go to greet Madam.

If it were earlier, Yuan Ma would avoid it without even thinking about it.

Normally, if the old lady didn't speak up here, she wouldn't even go to the courts of young masters and ladies in the mansion. They are all the masters of the Hou Mansion, and she would bow down to anyone she saw.

She is the person in front of the old lady, and she just needs to serve the old lady well.

In addition, the old lady can't say that she likes this daughter-in-law.

There's no need for her to please Madam!

But human nature is greedy!

This morning at the concierge, I heard that the Ruan family asked his wife to pay for the funeral expenses in advance, and when he met Zimi just now, Zimi talked about the Mingqian Longjing that his wife wanted.

Right now, Madam Yuan is undoubtedly the benefactor in Yuan Ma's eyes!

Yuan Ma suddenly thought, it's all on the way, and it's not a bad thing to go to Madam to ask for peace.

Among other things, just selling is a tael of gold and a teacup.

Madame is willing to spend...

3000 taels of silver did not see the lady frown.

He didn't show the mountains or dew in the mansion earlier, it should be because he couldn't figure out Lord Hou's temper.

Now Master Hou is "gone", and Madam is not hiding it anymore.

Mrs. Yang came from the Yang family in Hexi, a scholarly family, and was used to being noble, so Mrs. Xian treated her servants politely, but servants could not benefit from Mrs. Xian...

Mrs. Zhu is willing to take care of her here!

She also took money to do things.

But Mrs. Zhu's family background can't be compared with Mrs. Zhu's!

maybe...

Yuan Ma had a wishful thinking in mind.

It's not a bad thing to see Mrs.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ma bowed her head and walked quickly to the Huxin Pavilion.

*

"Ma'am, Madam Yuan is here." Hainan whispered while pouring tea for Ruan Tao.

Ruan Tao didn't look in Mama Yuan's direction, but hummed lightly.

She knew Yuan Ma would come.

Yuan Ma's greed has long been fattened by the old lady.

People are not enough to swallow elephants.

If you think too much, it won't be so easy to take it back...

When Yuan Ma arrived at the Huxin Pavilion, Zimi was making tea on the tea table in the Huxin Pavilion.

Slender hands and soft catkins, flowing clouds and flowing water.

Mama Yuan hadn't seen tea making before, she had always seen tea making, so she couldn't help but take a second look.

"Mother Yuan?" Hainan greeted her.

Madam Yuan didn't rush forward while Madam was in the Huxin Pavilion, "Girl from Hainan, this old slave happened to be passing by here. I saw Madam drinking tea here, so I came over to greet Madam and say hello to Madam."

Hainan understood, "Mama Yuan wait a moment."

Soon, Hainan turned back, "Mother Yuan, please follow me."

The light veil at the pavilion in the middle of the lake was raised, and Hainan led Yuan Ma inside.

Ruan Tao flipped through the account books near the stone table.

On the side, there is the sound of water boiling with purple rice making tea.

In midsummer, accompanied by the lake breeze and the sound of cicadas, it makes people feel peaceful.

"Ma'am, Mama Yuan is here." Hainan said softly.

Ruan Tao turned to look at Yuan Ma, Yuan Ma respectfully blessed Fushen, "This old slave has seen Madam."

Ruan Tao smiled casually, and didn't put down the account book in his hand, but he was a little careless, as if he didn't really want to read it.

Mama Yuan had a panoramic view.

"Why isn't Mama Yuan serving by her side today?" Ruan Tao asked.

Yuan Ma responded, "The old lady wants to use melons and fruits, and the old slave will get them."

Ruan Tao was slightly surprised, "Just let the maid in the garden go, why bother Mama Yuan to go in person?"

The implication is that she is the mother in charge of the old lady, and she can't afford to do these things by herself.

Yuan Ma replied, "Ma'am, I don't know. The old lady is picky. You have to eat soft melons, hard oranges, and soft or hard pears. It all depends on what you ate this morning and how the fruits and melons are paired together." Appetite. The old slave has been serving the old lady all these years, and I get familiar with it after a long time, and I have to toss back and forth if I change someone else."

It seems that the old lady is particular about food!

Ruan Tao knew it well.

Moreover, the old lady is used to Mama Yuan's care, so it's not surprising that the old lady pampers and protects Madam Yuan from things as small as melons and fruits to helping her save a game of cards.

Ruan Tao also asked, "How is mother these two days?"

Madam Yuan hurriedly said, "Madam, don't worry, the old lady just got a headache from the blowing the day before yesterday, and it has been cured long ago."

"That's good. I am relieved of my mother's well-being. I was busy with the affairs of the house a while ago, and I didn't feel very comfortable, so I didn't bother my mother. Fortunately, my mother is considerate. I am also concerned about it. But it just happened that I have been inconvenient for the past two days. , thinking about going to see my mother again after these two days.”

Ruan Tao would naturally say grandiose words.

Yuan Ma quickly lowered her head, "The old lady has been saying that the lady has been working hard for a while, and she has to take care of the sixth young lady and the fourth young master. The old lady knows that. The lady also needs to take care of her health, so the old lady is relieved."

Ruan Tao nodded in satisfaction.

Then, she frowned slightly, and looked at Mama Yuan, "Mama Yuan just said that there are oranges in the house?"

Mama Yuan didn't know why.

But Madam Yuan asked, and Madam Yuan replied, "Yes, it shouldn't be the fruit of this season, but Madam likes it, so Master Hou specially asked someone to plant it in Jiangzhou. The oranges in Jiangzhou ripen two months earlier. Every year when they are picked in mid-summer, there will be someone specially assigned to deliver them to Fuchu at high speed."

Ruan Tao understood.

Oh, the old lady's favorite one...

It is true filial piety.

Ruan Tao continued, "It makes me hungry."

Hainan answered Ruan Tao's words from one side, "Mother Yuan, you don't know that madam likes to use orange peels for making tea, but old orange peels can't keep up with fresh oranges, but this season is not right, madam just said this What's up!"

Madam Yuan seemed to have seized the opportunity, "Oh, that's because the kitchen was careless. Madam even forgot to mention it in the garden. I'll go get it right now, ma'am, wait a moment."

Ruan Tao looked at her with satisfaction as he waved his painting fan, "Then Mama Yuan will be troubled."

"Doing things for Madam, there is no need to bother!" Yuan Ma flattered.

It can be seen that Ruan Tao is very satisfied.

Ruan Tao looked at Hainan while shaking his painting fan.

Hainan blesses Fushen, "Madam, I will go with Madam Yuan."

When Hainan stepped forward, the money she took out of her sleeve was slipped into Mama Yuan's hands.

Mama Yuan knew the weight without looking at it, and she was immediately happy, but her face was still full of surprise.

But although surprised, the silver was not put back.

This is the pavilion in the middle of the lake, surrounded by light gauze curtains, and there are only her and his wife, Hainan and Zimi in the pavilion. Of course, what Hainan does is ordered by his wife.

Madam Yuan, of course, would not be so stupid as to ask, but naturally put it in her sleeve pocket, "Thank you Madam!"

Ruan Tao hummed lightly while continuing to look down at the account books.He obviously frowned, as if he was not interested in the account book but wanted to read it, and then he yawned lazily, lacking energy.

Hainan said at the right time, "Mother Yuan, talk while walking."

Mama Yuan understood immediately.

Hainan led Mama Yuan out of the Huxin Pavilion, and said as they walked, "Mrs. has been busy with the funeral of Lord Marquis earlier. She was spinning around all day long, and she didn't even have time to catch her breath. She finally had some free time. She just wanted to make tea and bring her to the mansion." The young masters and ladies went out to ride horses or something, and they were also suffocated in the mansion."

Madam Yuan just took the money, so of course she had to say, "Madam, what else do you need here? Girl from Hainan, you can ask someone to tell this old slave at any time. I have been in the mansion for a long time, so I know everything."

Hearing this, Hainan smiled and didn't respond.

Yuan Ma saw that Hainan had reservations.

Yuan Ma didn't ask any more questions, so as not to be abrupt.

When we got to the kitchen, Mama Song, the mother in charge of the kitchen, greeted me personally, "Mama Yuan."

"Come and fetch oranges for the old lady and madam." After Yuan Ma finished speaking, she winked at Song Ma.

Song Ma took out the oranges that she had prepared earlier.

Before leaving, Yuan's mother stuffed two oranges into Hainan's hands, "Miss Hainan, it's hot in summer, just to relieve the heat."

Hainan smiled, "Mama Yuan, you are welcome."

"Oh, they're all from our own family, why are you being polite~" Mama Yuan insisted on reaching out her hand not to hit the smiling face, and Hainan didn't refuse.

Oranges this season are not something money can buy.

Hainan's smile was written on the corner of his mouth.

On the way back to the Huxin Pavilion, Hainan continued to say to Mama Yuan, "I didn't finish talking to Mama Yuan just now. When Madam was at home earlier, she grew up in front of Madam Tailao. Madam Tailao People like horseshoes, and my wife grew up in the arms of the old lady since she was a child. Madam, the first thing she likes here is not drinking tea, not riding a horse, but a horseshoe..."

Horse crane?

Ma Yuan didn't expect it.

Hainan sighed softly, "Other people won't believe you! Madame hit the horse hanging ten times, and lost nine times, but the more you beat this person, the more you like it, the more addicted you are..."
