She just smiled and said: "Aunt Liu belongs to Grandma Yun, but when she heard about bandits that day, Grandma Yun got into the carriage without saying a word, and ran away in no time. At that time, she didn't even care about her maid. How can you care about these servants? Later, these people survived with the eldest grandma, you said, with Grandma Yun's temperament, thinking about it afterwards, can she not be angry?"

Long Yan wondered: "That's not necessarily the case. Didn't even Qiu Ling stay behind? She was the most proud girl in front of the old lady. Besides, Feng Xian and others were there at the time, and they were still in front of Grandma Yun after they came back. I don't hear that she has any resentment." That day she didn't go to Pushan Temple due to the occasional cold, that's why Xue Zhilan spoke so frankly in front of her today.

After hearing what the cage smoke said, Xue Zhilan sneered and said: "Fengxian is Xu Ranyun's dowry girl, and her family members are all in Cheng Mingbo's residence. She and her master are like grasshoppers on the same rope. No matter what, there will be no Two-hearted. But Aunt Liu and the others are different. Grandma Yun left them behind and ran away, but the grandma who was usually secretly obedient and vicious saved them regardless of the past. If I were me, I would have thoughts in my heart. Even if I had no thoughts, Grandma Yun would It must be felt that they have ideas."

"This...how can you have thoughts if you don't have any thoughts?" Long Yan was confused, but Xue Zhilan said word by word: "Because I have a guilty conscience, do you understand?"

"So that's how it is." The cage smoke suddenly realized: Xu Ranyun is indeed such a person. She did something that is sorry for others. Even if it is normal, others will not think about it, but she will think about it herself, even if the other party is respectful. Respect, but under her suspicion, she can pick out many faults.

"What does grandma want the servant to do?"

Understand the meaning of the master. Long Yan knew that he had a mission again, and sure enough, Xue Zhilan sneered and said: "Xu Ranyun was going to deal with Grandma that day, but she refused to do it herself, and came to me several times to provoke me and force me to take the lead. I am helpless. I have to follow the path she drew. I didn’t expect Feng Shui to turn around. She also has today, if I don’t make good use of her once, and repay her for borrowing the knife that day. Wouldn’t I be too sorry for her?”

Long Yan remained silent, knowing that the master must have something to say, and sure enough, Xue Zhilan pondered for a while. Suddenly he said softly: "You don't need to do anything, as long as you find more omissions in Grandma Yun's confidantes. Then sneer in front of Fengxian, and then find a few servants who are powerful but unsuccessful in the mansion, give them advice, let them Be filial in front of Fengxian. Find a few positions, and that's enough."

What does it mean? Don't you want to use Grandma Yun? Why do you go around and arrange people? Long Yan was puzzled in his heart, but agreed with his mouth. until you get out of the house. It was only then that she gradually realized: her grandma was clearly trying to take advantage of Xu Ranyun's suspicions to sow discord. Let her betray her relatives.

After trying to understand this level, Long Yan fell into deeper doubts: Isn't Grandma Lan's ultimate goal a grandma? She wanted to use Grandma Yun's strength to deal with Grandma Yun, but if she was so organized, wouldn't she weaken Grandma Yun's power? What else would the other party use to fight against grandma? Isn't this a big trick

Even though she was thinking this way, Long Yan knew that her master had always been very scheming, so she must have a reason for doing so, and she didn't need to remind her that she was superfluous, as the master never liked stupid girls, all she had to do was follow her orders, pretending to understand everything, That's it.

"The uncle is back."

When Duan Tingxuan came home in the afternoon, as soon as he entered the gate of Chunfengyuan, he saw two daughters-in-law salute him, then bowed their heads and went out. Seeing Xing'er in the yard, he asked, "Isn't this someone from our yard? What are you doing here?"

Xing'er shrugged her shoulders and said: "How does this servant know? They are here to find grandma. The servant saw that she had carried two baskets of vegetables, but for some reason, she talked for a long time in the room and only now came out."

"Vegetables? Are they from the greenhouse in Meiyue Building?" Duan Tingxuan's focus immediately shifted: "Do you have eggplants? The old lady asked me the day before yesterday when I can eat eggplant boxes."

Xing'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This servant didn't pay attention, master go in and ask grandma." After adding water to the last bird cage, she rushed into the room and shouted: "Grandma, master is here."

"Come here as soon as you come, and it's worth notifying? Anyway, his first stop must be in the kitchen." Su Nuannuan said impatiently in the room.

When Xing'er turned around, she just saw Duan Tingxuan disappearing into the kitchen, she couldn't help laughing and bent over, and said repeatedly: "Grandma really understands Master very well, she didn't just rush to the kitchen."

After a while, the young master came out with two big plates satisfied, which contained his favorite sourdough dough twist and some gold silk shortbread. Xing'er happened to have not left yet, so she helped him lift the curtain , smiled and said: "My lord went to the kitchen to do something again, why bother? If you don't do it, why has grandma ever hurt your mouth?"

"I'm doing this for you. I go to the kitchen in person. I can pick up something I like to eat, and save you from running errands. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. If you don't appreciate the Lord, you dare to slander the Lord. What does it mean to be hands-on? Is the master a thief?"

Duan Tingxuan occupied both hands, unable to knock Xing'er on the head, so he gave her a hard look, then walked in the door with his chest out, just as one foot stepped over the threshold and the other foot was still outside the door, he saw a shadow falling on his head , How experienced is the little duke, turning his body around, he instantly became an afterimage, and such urgency did not delay him from despising the enemy: "Dead cat, come to snatch mine again, there are so many in the kitchen that you won't pick up by yourself!" ? Anyway, your master will definitely not be able to catch up with you."

"Meow..." In just a short while, the big tabby cat was left behind by the little lord, but this is very normal for it. After all, it is still a cat. How can it compete with the experienced little lord? compared to? However, even if nine and a half times out of ten confrontations ended in defeat and fleeing, it still couldn't stop the determination of Zhaocai to face the difficulties. It can be said that Zhaocai is definitely a berserker among cats who has undergone thousands of trials.

"Go away, go away..."

In the end, the little prince walked into the back room with a big tabby cat on his shoulders, shrugging his shoulders violently, hoping to throw this shameless greedy cat down, but unfortunately, he is also experienced in recruiting money, and his two paws penetrated into the brocade of the little prince. In the Chinese clothes, insisting on not letting go of his shoulders, he jumped up, hoping to steal a piece of twist.

"Nuannuan, Mr. Liang from Dali Temple said that the family has had rats in the past few days and asked me to find two good cats to send over. After thinking about it, I felt that only our family's fortune-telling can take on such a heavy responsibility. How about borrowing it?" Let Master Liang use it for a few days."

Duan Tingxuan finally moved to the kang bed under the interference of Zhaocai, put down the plate, grabbed the tabby cat, and was about to fall to the ground when he saw his wife staring at him with unkind eyes, so he clenched his hands and He took the cat into his arms, stroked its fur a few times, and said with a smile, "How do you feel?"

"If you are not afraid of having an affair with Mr. Liang, I have no objection." Su Nuannuan said indifferently, this answer was beyond Duan Tingxuan's expectation, he never thought that his wife would agree.

"What's the matter? I borrowed a cat out of good intentions, and I still have an affair with Mr. Liang? What is this saying?" Duan Tingxuan was really curious. He knew that his wife had a lot of lies, but he didn't know what "high theory" he could have this time.

"Do you think cats only eat mice?" Su Nuannuan finally stopped her needlework and looked up at Duan Tingxuan with a funny face: "This Dali Temple minister loves birds so much that even I know his reputation. Send it over, overnight, there are not many rats, and the bird cage has been bitten several times, and the birds inside either flew away or were buried in the belly of the cat, do you think Master Liang will fight for you?"

"Forget it, forget it, let the scourge of recruiting money be the scourge of Chunfengyuan." Duan Tingxuan imagined the scene of the old man with white beard and hair chasing and beating him in the court room, and couldn't help but shudder.

In the end, Zhaocai took two twists in his mouth, and left gracefully with his big fluffy tail smug. Duan Tingxuan stretched his neck to look at Su Nuannuan's embroidery, and said with a smile: "This mandarin duck has been embroidered for several months." , why are you still like a duck? Nuannuan, you are not in this industry, admit it, there are people in the sewing room at home, and Aunt Lin will send purses and belts to wipe her forehead at every turn. Your clothes and accessories? It’s best for you to concentrate on studying what to eat.”

Su Nuannuan rolled his eyes at him, and snorted coldly: "I just do this for fun, you don't care if I embroider ducks or mandarin ducks. Eat, eat, eat, am I the cook in the kitchen? How dare you be so disrespectful?" Me, believe it or not, you can't even find a sesame seed in the kitchen from now on?"

"Well, when I came in, I saw two daughters-in-law went out, not from our yard. Xing'er said they were delivering vegetables, but also said they talked for a long time in the house. What was the reason?" The young master wisely changed the subject, But Su Nuannuan said angrily: "What else could be the matter? Grandma Yun has been out of control for the past two days, and she has a very violent temper. A few days ago, Xiangyun and Cong'er were in the garden and saw her slapping Aunt Liu who was in charge of the garden. He gave me a severe reprimand. Today, the two daughters-in-law were assigned by the kitchen manager, but they came to deliver me the dishes in the warm shed in Meiyuelou in person. They said that many servants in the family have been reprimanded these days. A person in charge was dismissed because of a trivial matter, causing panic. Listening to what they say, they want me to be the master, but if I am the master, I will take care of this family, so I advise them to be patient for the time being."

Speaking of this, Su Nuannuan finally put down her needle and thread, looked at Duan Tingxuan and said, "My concubine understands the prestige of the master in this mansion. I thought that the mansion didn't know how to discuss the few daughters-in-law last time, but until It is still calm now, so it can be seen that no one dares to disobey your orders. Now Grandma Yun is suddenly acting abnormally, is it because you have left her out in the cold? Isn’t that a bit bad? Those abolished stewards are the ones who suffered Fish, see if you can find some time to sit in Xia Yuxuan, Grandma Yun will listen to your words."
