Chapter 17 Shou'an

Tao smiled and said, "My sister said so well, but it's a big deal."

"Zuo just married a useless man and forced himself to stand up."

These words touched Qi's pain and sighed slowly: "Outsiders only know our beauty, but they don't know all the helplessness inside."

Seeing that Qi was not covering up at all, Tao remembered the rumors he had heard and quickly turned the topic around.

"What are you kidding about? You are so lucky."

Today, people are too talkative, so don’t be passed on to the old lady by those who are interested.

Seeing this, Qi didn't say much, and sat down with his eyes, nose and heart, like a puppet with a mud-wombed Bodhisattva.

Seeing that the sister-in-law's self-pity was stopped, the second wife, Tao, cheered up and looked at the little maids in the yard.

In addition to the four third-class maids in the old lady’s place, there are also several of them in the second and Qi’s third-class maids.

Nowadays, there are people around the brothers and sisters in the Qin family. The larger group of lefties will be released after only three or four years of use, and the smaller ones can stand up at this time.

However, when choosing people for me, I must have an ordinary appearance and a steady character, but those who are born in poverty do not pay much attention to it.

Tao had already had some idea in his mind. Just as he was about to speak, a woman in brown robe suddenly came, with the two maids Jiaoyue and Chuixing beside the old lady.

It is Zheng’s mother who is now with Mrs. Qin.

Like Mrs. Lin, Zheng’s mother is the dowry of Mrs. Qin. However, unlike when Mrs. Lin was young when she came with her, Mrs. Zheng accompanied the old lady in the wind and rain.

Zheng’s mother is now in her seventies, but she is tough and she is a bit decent in the Qin Mansion because she is not married.

Seeing Zheng's mother, the second wife Tao and the third wife Qi both stood up and received a one-and-a-half-tender gift from Zheng's mother. This is an honor that is not found in the entire Qin Mansion.

Zheng's mother smiled and showed a few missing teeth: "The old lady has already had an idea."

"Second lady, don't be upset, the old lady is picking up the good ones."

Tao quickly smiled and said, "What's the matter? Whether it's filial piety or superiority, it's all about the old lady."

"But the old lady said she was a little tired a few days ago, so I thought about taking my own decision."

"It hasn't started yet. The routine is to look at etiquette and how things are done."

Zheng's mother smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll call out the few that the old lady wants first."

Dow was not so embarrassed and said, "It should be like this."

Zheng’s mother asked first: “Which is the fourth daughter of Qin Hou in charge of the family’s family named Danhong?”

But a maid wearing a red-brown plum blossom, brown and beige-white gray cotton dress came out, with handsome eyebrows and clever eyes and outstanding appearance.

Seeing that Danhong had outstanding appearance and thoughtful salute, Zheng's mother nodded and signaled her to stand behind her.

Then Zheng’s mother did call out the second name: “Which eldest daughter of Fan Bai and his wife is Hanhui?”

But a little maid with black hair and a well-looking face appeared. After saluting, she stood behind Zheng's mother.

In the end, Zheng's mother did pause and said, "Which one did you buy from outside?"

Ding Jingzhu and others did not dare to hesitate and saluted Zheng's mother in front of them.

After taking a look, Zheng's mother said, "Which three are following my old sister, Mama Lin?"

Ding Jingzhu and the other two stood up together, but saw Zheng's mother clicking on her and Chen Qingya and saying, "You two go behind me."

Ding Jingzhu and Chen Qingya hurriedly stood behind Zheng's mother without hesitation, but Li Xiuniang, who was not paying attention to maintaining a ceremonial posture, shaking slightly and clenched her palms.

There are only four third-class vacancies in Anshoutang where the old lady is located now, with Danhong and Hanhui taking up two, while the remaining two are occupied by two outsiders, Ding Jingzhu and Chen Qingya.

However, Ding Jingzhu and the other two were able to find this fat and flaw because of their relationship with Mother Lin.

After a few gossips with his second wife Xue and his third wife Qi, Zheng's mother took Ding Jingzhu and the other two to leave Jinyiyuan and head towards Anshoutang.

Jinyiyuan where the second wife lives is located in the east of the fifth place. The fifth place in the Qin Mansion has four levels. The first place on the east side lives with the second master Qin Minren and the second wife, as well as many concubines from the second house.

Further to the left are the house left for the official Qin Minshi, the residence of the three-bedroom Qin Minjia and his wife, and an elegant garden for entertaining their family members.

The sixth entry is the girls' residence. These girls are all precious in gold and jade, but apart from going out as guests, they cannot leave the fifth entry.

Old Mrs. Qin's Anshoutang entered the seventh place. In addition to the old woman's Anshoutang, the Anshoutang where Old Mrs. Qin lived during his lifetime was vacant.

In addition, the largest back garden in Qin Mansion was also on the seventh, and carved beams, painted buildings and pavilions made the little maids who had been walking along the way stunned.

The old lady lives in Anshou Hall, where the old lady lives, can see two or three wintersweet trees coming out of the wall from afar, and the decorations are mostly elegant and wealthy.

As soon as my mother Zheng came in, a maid wearing an orange-yellow pin-up pipa sleeve pattern brocade dress and a light yellow auspicious pattern skirt came out. She smiled while opening the door for my mother Zheng.

"Mom is back. The old lady has just recited a Buddhist scripture and is now eating snacks."

"I happened to have taken these new people to meet the old lady."

Zheng's mother smiled and said, "I understand these things myself. It's hard for Miss Jinzhi to come out and put a curtain on me."

The Jinzhi only smiled: "Then I'll go and clean up the girls' residences."

Zheng’s mother had just walked through the corridor and entered the inner room, but saw an old woman wearing a deep purple Shu brocade straight collar and a blue brocade thin cloak sitting on the kang, carrying a wiping of a birthday boy’s gift to her forehead.

Two maids wearing brocade embroidery are serving snacks and tea.

There are various snacks such as Qiqiao, plum blossom cakes, Ruyi cakes and other snacks on the golden silk kang table, which are full of arrangements.

Ding Jingzhu roughly counted twelve plates, and in addition to a bowl of steamed sugar cheese.

After entering, Zheng's mother said respectfully: "Old lady, these are the new little maids."

Ding Jingzhu and the other two went forward together to deliver a standard gift of blessing, "I have met the old lady."

Old Mrs. Qin looked at the little girls and first asked Danhong, who was the most beautiful: "Your child looks good, what's your name?"

Danhong bowed and said, "Go back to the old lady, my name is Danhong."

Old Mrs. Qin pulled Danhong and looked at her and smiled, "He looks neat, but who do you look like?"

Zheng's mother hurriedly replied: "Old lady, this is the daughter of manager Qin Hou."
