Jiangnan in May, it is the rainy season, the general next non-stop. At the beginning of the rain, the sky was white, and large areas were swept away by the wind.

Qiushi came out of early class last night and saw that it wasn't raining outside. She couldn't help saying, "everything is good here, but there is too much rain." The tide will return in March and April. It's very uncomfortable.

Li mother said with a smile: "Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, natural water more." She was not used to the weather when she first arrived here, but she got used to it after staying here for two years.

"So it is." Except that it rained a lot, everything else was very good. The products are rich and the food is delicate and delicious. Of course, the most important thing is that the son is around.

Mother Li supported Qiu and said, "old lady, we'll go to the garden to enjoy the flowers after breakfast. There are many flowers in the garden these days. "

"Good." Generally, as long as the weather is good, Qiu will go for a walk in the garden, which is a habit formed for many years.

With breakfast, Qiu took mother Li to the garden. On the way, Li's mother said with a smile, "old lady, in the morning I heard from Ruyan that the peonies in the garden are in good bloom. Shall we go to see the peonies first?" There are more than 40 kinds of flowers in the garden. This is the season when all flowers are in full bloom. At this time, the garden is colorful.

Qiushi didn't like things with flowers and plants before, but when she was old, her preferences changed. Now I also like to see beautiful flowers.

Into the yard, the party first walked toward the peony garden. When she walked in, looking at only a few flower buds left in the flower garden, mother Li looked at Ruyan and said, "didn't you say the peony is just in bloom?"

Ruyan was very aggrieved and said: "Mom, I came to see it this morning. There are many flowers here. There are pink ones and big red ones. They are very beautiful. "

Qiushi frowned and said, "call the lady who looks at the garden to come and ask."

The old lady was guarding the door. She didn't know who was going to pick the flowers. "Old lady, these flowers were picked by Pu ye, the lady's servant girl."

Qiu's face is not good-looking, asked: "what did she pick these flowers to do?" Qiushi is a kind-hearted Bodhisattva. She thinks that flowers, plants and trees are all life, so she only comes to the garden to enjoy the flowers, but she never picks them, nor does she allow the maid to pick them.

The old woman bowed her head and said, "this old slave doesn't know."

Mother Li scolded: "you won't tell Pu ye that this is what the master did for me?" Most of the flowers in the garden were originally left behind. These peonies were specially found by Han Jianming for Qiu's family.

The old lady said with an aggrieved face: "I said it, but miss puye didn't listen to me and scolded me. She said that I deliberately used the old lady to crush her. I would not let her pick it. The more she wanted to pick it, the more flowers she picked here. "

Qiu's face became more and more ugly.

Li's mother looked at Qiu's face and sighed: "don't worry, old lady. This puye is a little grumpy. She is still very nice."

Ruyan is very unfair for mother Li: "mother is kind-hearted, bullied to the head, but also help her talk."

Qiu Shi is a short guard: "what's the matter?" Mother Li has been with her for many years. She says she is a master and servant, but in fact, she is no different from her sisters. A servant girl has bullied mother Li. How can Qiu endure it.

Li's mother said with a smile: "it's PU ye who thinks the food from the kitchen is not good. He quarreled with a Yu. I've already scolded ah Yu severely. How can I quarrel with the lady's servant girl? " It's naked eye medicine.

After Xiang took charge of the family, Li's mother asked her daughter-in-law to listen to Xiang's instructions and not make any trouble. After all, she is no longer respectable, she is only a servant, and the master is a person who abides by the rules. If she wants to fight with the master, she will definitely lose. But I didn't expect that puye didn't leave any face. She pointed at her daughter-in-law and scolded her, which was very ugly. Mother Li was very angry when she knew.

After hearing this, Qiu's face turned black: "is a servant girl so arrogant? Who gave her courage? " Li's mother is her companion, and Zhang's family is her person. I've never heard of a quarrel between my daughter-in-law's maid and her mother-in-law's companion.

Mother Li said quickly: "this servant girl is not very good-natured, but I believe the big lady must not know about it."

Qiu Shi cold hum a way: "it seems that I am too used to her, used to her even my mother-in-law are not put in the eye."

Xiang's family went to the upper room to have breakfast. When she heard the maid say that the old lady had gone for a walk in the garden, she immediately took the maid to the garden to look for Qiu's family.

Qiushi was not a deep-seated person originally. These years, he had a very comfortable life, and his temperament became more and more simple. Seeing Xiang, Qiu said coldly, "which is Pu ye?"

Xiang's heart jumped, intuition is not right, carefully said: "Pu Ye is in the yard. Mother, did this girl make any mistakes? " Know puye is a pinch point to strong, so every time she went to the upper room is to bring the futon.

A servant girl's fault is not worth when Qiu said: "let your servant girl learn rules from mother Xin." Xin's mother is the one who specializes in disciplining the rules of servant girls in Han's house.

In front of so many servants, she said that her servant girl didn't know the rules, but she just hit her in the face. Xiang's face was pink, and immediately became pigliver.

After saying this, Qiu took mother Li and left, regardless of Xiang. If the daughter-in-law is good, she is also in pain as a daughter. But if it's not a good one, she won't give her face.

Putuan patted Xiang's back and said softly, "don't worry, madam. Let's go back and ask about it first. Then we took puye to admit our mistake to the old lady."

Xiang is in charge of his family. It's very easy to inquire about some things. Knowing the whole story, Xiang's body trembled with anger.

Puye didn't feel that she was wrong: "madam, the woman guarding the door is so hateful. I just want to pick some flowers and put them in the house. She not only didn't allow me to pick them, but also said a lot of ugly words." So, in a rage, she picked all the peonies in full bloom in the garden.

In fact, the mother-in-law didn't tell Han Jianming that the peony was specially planted for Qiushi. Xiang's housekeeper captured a lot of people, but she didn't know that the servants of the rich family were all related and had mixed relations. The lady in charge who was abducted by Xiang is the mother-in-law's cousin.

Putuan was very angry: "tell me for yourself, how many times have you quarreled with others?" Mother Li's daughter-in-law is just one of them. Puye has offended many people during this period. Although these people hate Pu Ye's rampancy, they don't like her master, Xiang Shi. Without Xiang's support, Pu ye would not be so arrogant and would not pay attention to anyone.

Xiang is very smart. Otherwise, Qiu and Han would not like him. It's not that she doesn't know Pu Ye's temperament, and she will explode as soon as she is teased. In the past, the Xiang family had a simple population and she was in charge of the family. Besides, the Ye family didn't have so many rules, so it didn't matter if Pu ye had better pinch points. But Han family rules, puye has made a lot of mistakes, but due to years of love, she can't bear to work hard. But today Xiang realized that if she didn't pay attention to puye, she would go in.

Thinking of this, Xiang sighed: "your temperament is not suitable to come to Han Fu. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought you. "

After puye reacted, his face turned pale: "girl, girl, don't say that. If you want to fight or punish, please don't drive me away."

Xiang shook his head and said, "you can't stay with me." Before puye quarreled with mother Li's daughter-in-law, she knew that puye was not suitable to stay in Hanfu. But Pu Ye is her servant girl. She drives people away in such a short time when she is married. What do you think. I didn't expect that this girl would make trouble for her again.

Pu Ye's tears fell: "girl, girl, you can't do without me..."

Xiang's heart is also sad, toward the futon way: "you take her down!" Before, Xiang wanted to choose a good family for her, and then prepare a thick dowry for her, which was also regarded as the whole friendship of master and servant. But now I'm tired of puye. She has to find a way to solve it as soon as possible. Generally, if a maid makes a mistake, she will be sent to Chuang Tzu or sold, but she doesn't want to sell Pu Ye without her own Chuang Tzu. The maid who was sold didn't come to a good end. Pu Ye has been with her for so many years. Even if it causes trouble for her, we have to think of a way to make both sides satisfied.

The futon dragged the leaves out.

Puye couldn't help crying: "putuan, would you please intercede with the girl for me? I don't want to leave the girl

Putuan's face was very ugly: "do you still want me to plead? Do you know that today, the old lady asked her to teach you the rules in front of the maid. Don't you know how hard it is for your wife to get married to the mansion? Today, the old lady's words spread, and her previous efforts were all in vain. " It's not easy to be a stepmother, not to mention her stepson and stepdaughter, but it's hard to deal with two aunts who have been in charge of the family. These days, Xiang is trembling.

There was no blood on puye's face: "how? I just said a few words to the woman

Putuan was so angry that he couldn't breathe smoothly: "I told you that the situation in the mansion is complicated. I want people to get along with me and don't make trouble for my wife. what about you? You're all in the wind. "

Puye was paralyzed, covering his face and crying.

Putuan turned back and asked Xiang: "madam, do you really want to send puye away?"

Xiang nodded his head and said, "she is not suitable to stay in Han Fu because of her temperament. The old lady said that let puye go to Xin's mother to learn the rules, let her learn the rules first. We'll talk about how to arrange it later. " To punish Pu ye, she has to learn the rules from Xin's mother. It's only when it's done, otherwise it's a matter of conversation.

Putuan nodded. This matter can only be dealt with like this for the time being.

Xiang's well a way: "this matter you go to tell her!" Now the most important thing is to win the old lady's favor again, otherwise she will struggle in this backyard.

In the afternoon, Xiang took the futon to the upper room. This time, Qiu Shi saw her no longer smiling as before, looked at her and asked, "what did you do with that servant girl?"

It's the first time she's been treated like this. Xiang said with a smile, "I've asked her to learn the rules from Xin's mother." With that, Xiang stepped forward, supported Qiu's arm and said, "Niang, I'm young and have little experience. I hope Niang can teach me more."

See Xiang's attitude is not bad, Qiu's look eased a lot: "if you have anything you don't understand, ask mother Li." When she was not in charge of the household, her mother, Qiu Shi, became a shopkeeper. It can be seen that she had no interest in managing these common affairs.

Xiang's mother Li Fu a gift: "after the need to nag more mother." In fact, since Xiang's family was in charge, Li's mother gave her a lot of advice.

"Don't be a slave, madam." Li's mother avoided Xiang's gift and said respectfully, "this is what an old slave should do. I just hope my wife doesn't dislike me for telling me what to do." Xiang can bend and stretch, this woman can't offend.

Qiushi see, before those don't like dissipated most.

At this time, the servant girl came up and said, "old lady, have dinner."

Han Jianming went out in the morning, and has sent someone to inform Qiu that he will come back very late. So Qiu didn't wait for Han Jianming, so he took Xiang to pianting for dinner.

In order to show filial piety, Xiang stood up and served food to Qiu. If it had been before, Qiu would have asked her to sit down and eat together. But today she didn't say a word about the garden.

Xiang understood that the morning had not passed. She did not dare to neglect, took a bowl to scoop Chicken Soup for Qiu, scooped two spoons, Xiang could not help a nausea. But she is afraid that Qiu Shi misunderstands her. She is discontented and doesn't vomit.

Li mother is very careful, looking at her look wrong, asked: "madam, but uncomfortable?" Li's mother is also dissatisfied with Xiang's family, but she knows in her heart that it's useless for Qiu's family to hate Xiang's family, and Han Jianming has to hate Xiang's family. Han Jianming is not Qiu. He is the most shrewd man. If you let the master know, you may think that they are the servants who deliberately stir up the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and you will not know how to die at that time.

"Ouch..." Xiang couldn't bear it any longer and vomited out.

Qiu Shi was startled, and then called out: "go and ask for a doctor, go and ask for a doctor quickly."

Li's mother is calm. After Xiang's vomiting, she asks, "how long has it been since my wife changed her clothes?" Looking at this, nine out of ten are happy.

Xiang thought about it and said, "it's been more than ten days." After saying this, Xiang's eyes brightened, but quickly covered up the past: "may be eating something wrong, make some nausea, just rest." This is also to leave a way for themselves, in case it is not pregnant, it is not shameful.

Qiushi's face had already turned from cloudy to sunny, and he said with a smile, "I must have something wrong. I'm going to have a grandson soon."

Mother Li sighed when she heard this. Fortunately, the eldest master and the princess were able and filial. Otherwise, the old lady will look like this. I don't know what it will be like to be rejected by my daughter-in-law.

The doctor will be here soon.

Qiushi waited for a long time, but before the doctor got up, she was a little nervous. She was afraid that her hope would fail.

Li's mother knew that Han Jianming had sent someone to check Xiang's body before and decided that she was OK. Han Jianming is not to blame for his carelessness after such a big loss. So she was sure that Xiang was pregnant.
