Sister Feng chatted with Jia Lian at night, talking about Mrs. Wang's meaning in the morning.Jia Lian sneered and said: "Thrifty, hey, the eldest son and grandson must be frugal, and the second wife can spend their energy. This is the true style of our family."

Sister Feng's face froze when she heard this, and she said, "But I'm just talking to you for nothing, what are you talking about so uselessly!"

Jia Lian glanced at her and said, "I know it's useless."

Sister Feng was speechless, and Ping'er said from the side: "What the second master said, grandma gets up early every day and is greedy for the night, and she is not really in charge of the house. If you feel depressed, you can only talk to the second master. Grandpa is the closest, isn't it. What's the point of Second Master blocking our grandma like this!"

Jia Liansu came to love Ping'er's beauty, and she didn't feel uncomfortable being scolded by Ping'er. The words of the Jia family's man who has always been a maid are easier to hear than other words.Then he smiled and said to Sister Feng: "Look, I'm just complaining, and you want to tear me apart."

Sister Feng then said: "Second Master's words are unreasonable, and no one is allowed to avenge my grievances."

Jia Lian then changed his voice and said, "I know your difficulties. It's only because of your strong temper that you can restrain the people below. It's just that we can't interfere with the affairs of the upper floors. If you are not careful, you will be splinted." Angry. Now you can’t go back there, and it’s like this here, you know it yourself.”

Sister Feng sighed: "After all, I'm young and I can't control the situation. Everything is always done with the nod of the old lady. I think the wife doesn't want the sister-in-law to get too close to the old lady and the girls? But I said it again." I really don't know what it means to leave the girls in the care of my sister-in-law."

Jia Lian said: "What do you mean? One is that the eldest brother Zhu is gone, and the wife is afraid that she will be angry with her sister-in-law. The other is that the wife has always liked stupid people. Now this sister-in-law has a wooden way. Make some soup to honor the old man." Ma'am, this wife is not happy in her heart, and besides, you don't know this wife's temperament? She is usually the most kind-hearted, but there is no reason why she suddenly flares up. Don't you remember what happened to Aunt Zhou?"

Sister Feng immediately stopped him and said, "Hey, it's the elders after all, what are you talking about!"

Jia Lian glanced at her and said, "I know she is your aunt, but you are now married to Jia's family."

When Sister Feng heard this, she was very angry and angry. Jia Lian saw her and didn't say much.

Sister Feng burst into tears, and Ping'er persuaded, "Grandma calm down, what else do you not know about Er Ye's temper. It's not because of grandma, it's just that I feel uncomfortable after hearing something outside."

Sister Feng cried: "What can I do! The old man on the other end blamed me for taking over the dowry of the first wife, and now the old lady doesn't want to see me because of this, whether it is the old lady's order, or there is no old lady. This is what the second master deserves. I don’t care if it’s in compliance with the rules? As the housekeeper, I’m young and have no children. There are too many people waiting to watch the show, so I have to figure it out again. The old lady's mind is trying to calm down the people below, he doesn't say he is considerate of me, but vents his anger on me!"

Ping'er took a handkerchief to wipe away Sister Feng's tears, and sighed: "Grandma, please bear with me, this second master is not angry with grandma. Since the other side can't go back, fortunately, the second wife is an aunt after all, and In the past few years, it seems that the old lady really likes grandma. In a year and a half, if there is a brother or sister, it will be all right."

Sister Feng said: "It's all unreliable in the end! Now I look at my aunt, alas... she is not afraid to make things difficult for me."

The two sat opposite each other and sighed, but Jia Lian didn't come back that night, and Sister Feng also fell asleep in anger, but her heart was churning, "In the end, it's all unreliable..."

One day, Li Wan ordered people to open the box to get clothes and furs. Nanny Chang looked at the high-quality materials all over the kang and asked, "Except for the clothes, the Second Mistress didn't have any materials for changing clothes. Why don't you send someone over there?" Ask."

Li Wan said: "I'm afraid I can't take care of it. I have all the materials here, so I don't need to bother others."

Nanny Chang sighed and said, "Even if Second Mistress couldn't think of it when she was young, how can this wife forget?"

At the same time, Suyun interjected: "When grandma went to pay her respects that day, the old lady gave special instructions. It has been a few days, but there is still no movement."

Nanny Yan and Nanny Chang looked at each other, knowing that someone didn't want to give it, and felt a little annoyed.Li Wan said with a smile: "What's the matter? Could it be that we still lack some materials. If you give some unusable ones, it's better not to give them." After thinking for a while, he said: "I'm still here I want to go out and buy some brocade and silk floss, this year, except for clothes, everyone should wear them well.”

Yan Momo then said: "Everyone here has their own rules. To promote Mi En and fight Mi Qiu, grandma's hands should not be too loose."

Li Wan listened, nodded and said: "What Mammy said is true. It's just that the materials here are different from those of today. If it's all these by then, I'm afraid it's a slap in the face. It's better to buy some from outside." Come in and use it."

Yan Momo nodded and said: "If grandma said that, it's okay." But she thought in her heart, since people have done this, we have to react a bit.If you don't give it to me, I'll find it myself, which can also block them.

A few days later, Nanny Yan came back from outside and brought Li Wan a book of cloth.There are three or four books in size, and three pieces of cloth samples are glued to each one, with the name and price written on the bottom.This is specially prepared by Fengxiang Silk Factory for the grandma and wife of the wealthy family.

Li Wan, together with Suyun Biyue and a few nuns, selected some brocade, satin, silk, and silk, and it was inconvenient to order too much at once, so I only picked up the autumn and winter ones first.But in a few days, the silk and satin shop delivered the materials to Jia's mansion, and Mammy Chang and Mammy Yan ordered them to pay for them after they were collected correctly.Several rough envoy women moved all the materials into the warehouse.

This side was tidied up safely, and Sister Feng sat on the side in a daze after hearing the answer from the woman at the door.Ping'er said: "This grandma is really..."

Sister Feng smiled wryly and said, "You really have a long face."

Ping'er frowned, and asked: "I'm afraid this old lady won't like it if she finds out. My wife is even more..."

Sister Feng sighed and said: "It depends on who did it. If I did it, I'm afraid the old lady would think me frivolous. It's just that this sister-in-law has never done anything. If she behaves like this, the old lady will know it and just treat it like that." I was pushed into a hurry. Besides, my wife will not let the old lady know."

Ping'er asked: "It's just how will this matter end?"

Sister Feng said: "What's the end? If the wife wants to give it to you, if you can't say it, you have to let me go, and bring the material to the sister-in-law to accompany the crime. Otherwise, maybe you don't know anything." Ping'er didn't understand. : "Don't you know?"

Sister Feng nodded with a sneer and said, "My aunt is the most calm. Since my sister-in-law is doing this, it will be quiet if everyone doesn't mention it."

As expected, Mrs. Wang didn't say a word about Li Wan's purchase of clothing materials.Later, Sister Feng said to Ping'er: "This sister-in-law wants to take his wife into the army, but Jiang is still old and hot. Now I spent money and didn't say a word. I really lost it." Not easy to export.

Li Wan didn't notice it, and was leading a room full of maids and women to cut clothes.The fur material did not come in from the outside, only that it was enough for dowry.A few people took the long shirt and sighed how rare it is, especially the one that is not invaded by water and oil, wouldn't it be used as a feather yarn and feather satin envoy.He also said that the present is not as good as the past, and such materials can no longer be found today.Li Wan was about to be laid off, but was persuaded by a pass.It wasn't until Li Wan said that there was still a lot of this kind of material, and several people were amazed again, so they didn't stop her.

Li Wan stole what he had done in the bead world before, and performed his "supernatural power" in front of people again - using his spiritual consciousness to embroider with his fingertips.Naturally, everyone couldn't understand the mystery of this consciousness. All they saw was Li Wan's fingers flying, and his embroidery skills were superb.The nuns knew that when Li Wan was at home, she devoted all her attention to needlework. It was just that she had been widowed for many years and had done a lot of needlework on a daily basis, and practice made perfect.On the other hand, Suyun and Biyue made up their minds to learn from grandma, otherwise grandma did most of the work in the room, not to vomit themselves to death as a maid!

These tangles of shirts are made into clothes, the light is restrained, it is not eye-catching at first glance, but it is extraordinary when you look closely.Jia Lan was wearing a lake-blue tunic gown, a fruit-green dark flower satin gown with a pipa lapel, and small powder-soled court boots.Suyun and Biyue happily filled him with small pouches and sachets, and they were surrounded by a group of people.He wasn't afraid either, he raised his head and didn't look at the crowd, his posture was as short as a folding fan.

Li Wan collapsed on the kang with a smile, the usually serious Yan Mama was all smiling, Suyun Biyue was even rarer.It was lively, and Yingchun and Xichun came over.Seeing Jia Lan, who was posing in the most handsome pose in the world, in the middle of the room, he couldn't help laughing.Xichun went directly to Jia Lan, tugged his sleeves for a closer look, and said, "Lan'er is so handsome, you look good in this dress." Jia Lan couldn't hold back anymore, blushed and saluted the two aunts first. , I want to run away.Xichun is not willing to let him go, Yingchun also teases him.

Li Wan smiled and said, "Forget it, I just asked him to change into the fitting clothes today. Coincidentally, the two aunts also took a look at Lan'er for us. Come and sit down, is it cold outside?" While talking, he moved the two of them together It is cited on the kang in the east room.

Xichun pulled Jialan, and the three of them got on the kang.Suyun and Biyue put the tea and fruits on the table, and asked Yingchun and Xichun, "What do you girls drink?"

Li Wan hit them with a handkerchief and said, "Is there someone who entertains girls like this? If you don't pick up the good ones, let the girls come and tell you?"

Suyun smiled and said: "Grandma, there is nothing you can do about it. You have created too many weird things. The slaves have to ask the girls what they like." Li Wan wanted to beat her even more.

Yingchun smiled and said, "Sister, just serve us some tea. Let's say, we don't know."

Xichun finally let go of Jia Lan, turned to him and asked, "Brother Lan, what do you think is good?"

The blush on Jia Lan's face was still there, and he raised his head and said, "Aunts are grown-ups now. If you don't drink sherbet, I'll serve good tea to your aunts." After pondering for a while, he added, "Tea is good for tea. , Mother Xu has been here, and there is something delicious."

Xichun narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and said to Jia Lan, "After that, when Madam Xu is coming, you have to notify me." Jia Lan nodded solemnly.

Everyone saw that the two little ones were talking back and forth, and they had fun again.Li Wan said: "Just make golden soup and jujube, and then bring the assorted box, and cut some fresh fruits for the girls to taste." Suyun and Biyue went out to prepare.
