"What happened outside? Why are there so many noises?"

In the inner hall, Lady Miaoyin finished copying a piece of Buddhist scripture. She was a little dissatisfied with the slightly irregular handwriting, so she raised her head and frowned and asked, feeling that the noise of the environment had affected her performance.

Que'er, the maid who was serving Mo on the side, heard the sound and replied: "In the morning, my lord arranged for a group of soldiers to enter the house to guard the house and was cleaning up the front yard. Madam thinks it's noisy, should I ask them to do it again?"

"I'm not living in the wilderness. I don't need so many servants when I live in the city!"

After hearing this, Madam Miaoyin said again, not caring about it, looking at the manuscript on the case with some frustration: "Why can other people write neatly and beautifully, but I always find it difficult? I use a light pen, but it feels heavy in my hand. "Those who write beautifully have endured so much hardship that others cannot bear!"

The maid knew who the lady was talking about, and was afraid of being embarrassed and scolded by the lady, so she simply refused to answer the question and just said: "My lord arranges personnel, not because of whether the lady needs it, but because of concern. In order to be close to take care of the lady, just Even the family has moved in from elsewhere, and no one in the house dares to neglect the lady anymore. When the lady comes back, she can live in one place with peace of mind! "

His wife was nominally a stepmother and was living in mourning abroad. Naturally, the other servants did not dare to alienate and neglect the master, but these close servants did not have the preferential treatment they had enjoyed in previous years.

When the master returned home this time, he loved his wife more than before. The other slaves also regained respect for their close relatives. The little maid was very happy when talking about this festival.

"I don't feel left out either. Others are always busy with other things, so we don't have much free time to see each other. If our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night? With such touching words, many Bodhidharma must be I can’t tell, I must have heard someone else express my feelings!”

Lady Miaoyin muttered to herself, and said with some distress: "I want to write this down, but my handwriting is too clumsy, I'm afraid I can't express the affection in my words..."

Naturally, a conversation that was not on the same channel could not last long. The maid simply shut her mouth and carefully packed away the scriptures and Dharma stickers for the lady to practice calligraphy.

"Sister, are you here? I found something good today and I can't help but show it off to you!"

There were shouts outside the door, and not long after, a chubby child walked in. It was Lady Miaoyin's half-brother Dugushan, followed by two domestic slaves, each carrying a food box.

After hearing this, Lady Miaoyin was also a little curious, so she stood up and went forward to greet him.

Dugu Shan had a proud look on his face, and he flexed his arms to prevent her from getting closer. When the slave put the food box on the table, he put his hands on his hips and said, "Sister, you asked someone to bring food home earlier but you refused." I gave it so much that it caused the brothers to fight for it, and I didn’t want to say where I found it. I thought it was so precious and rare that I sent it here for you to try it when I saw it today.”

"What else am I talking about? It turns out that this is what I'm talking about. You must have been bought at a high price by people like you who are greedy, but what you can see outside is inferior compared to what I have here, so I won't find it strange. !”

Lady Miaoyin immediately lost interest when she heard this, and said proudly after returning to the table and sitting down.

"Sister, you are wrong, you really didn't buy it from the market outside!"

Dugushan stepped forward, carefully opened the food box, and said with a showoff: "A visitor came to the door today and brought a lot of food. Some of it was sent home by someone earlier, but this thing in the box... I’m afraid you haven’t even seen my sister!”

When the food box was opened, a copper plate full of food was revealed. Lady Miaoyin took a look at it and was immediately surprised: "This Sushan... Li Boshan is here as a guest today? Humph, he didn't come to see me. Are you still there now?”

"Sister, how do you know your name? You have eaten before...Sister, you are a glutton, and you don't want anyone to send it home! But I still remember you, and endured all the hard work before I kept this plate and gave it to my sister quickly. You send it over..."

After hearing the words, Dugu Shan was surprised at first, and then became sad. He felt that his affection had been let down by his sister. He came to share good things with her when he saw them, but he didn't want her to live alone outside and eat alone every day!

"There's so much nonsense. I asked you but you haven't answered me yet! Is Li Boshan still there? He came as a guest. What did he say to Aye?"

Lady Miaoyin was not interested in eating, so she pushed her brother and continued to ask.

"Do I know who Li Boshan is? I don't know him! There are so many visitors every day, and I don't wait in the front hall! Ah, he has gone out... Since you have eaten, there is no need to taste it again, I ate them all! "

Dugushan still had an angry look on his face. He grabbed a copper spoon and poked a large piece of it into his mouth, but his sister knocked it down.

"It's such a cold day, what's the point of eating something cold? It was still in the early autumn heat when I tasted it. Others came to cook it, but it had already melted when I sent it home!"

Mrs. Miaoyin was very majestic in front of her brothers. She scolded her a few times, covered her food box and complained: "Li Boshan is too much. Don't you know that many little things in the house are greedy for sweets? He still wants to give away so many illegal things... "

"Wow, wow... Sister, you stole the food and you didn't allow me to eat it! The guests brought it to my house, why can't I eat it! I insist on..."

Dugu Shan rolled his eyes and felt about to shed tears. He raised his head and glared at his sister, but timidly lowered his head. When he saw Su Shan falling on the table, he felt distressed and angry. He stuck out his butt and wanted to lick it. .

Lady Miaoyin bent down and pulled the boy out half a foot away, and then said to the maid: "Bring some sugar-steamed cheese, this boy is going crazy!"

The two sisters and brothers were still fighting and arguing here. The maid hurriedly ran out of the hall and brought back a silver bowl of cheese. Dugu Shan calmed down and raised his hand to take the silver bowl and put it to his mouth, still feeling angry with himself. Said: "I don't believe this buttermilk can be more beautiful than Sushan... have another bowl!"

"No, you can't eat too much of the good things. Look how fat you have become! There are round things like this in the house. How can you not be laughed at by the handsome men who come to visit you?"

When Dugu Shan heard this, his little face fell again. He lowered his head and licked the rim of the bowl and said angrily: "No matter how fat I am, it's not you who raised me up! Sister, you have changed. You wouldn't be so secretive before. It's no longer the case." My good sister... I have to stay and don’t allow you to become bad again. I’m eating now, but I’ll be hungry again soon!”

"Only one more bowl!"

Seeing the fat boy sitting down and sulking awkwardly, Lady Miaoyin was a little helpless. When she saw the boy laughing at the sound, she glared and said, "But you have to answer my question!"

"Answer, answer! But what should I answer... Yes, the guest left and went out with Aye. Aye was also very angry. I heard that the sword was lost."

After hearing this, Mrs. Miaoyin's little face suddenly became a little unnatural, and she quickly asked: "Aye, he is very angry? Then, when Li Boshan came, did he have a sword? Did Aye question him?"

"I'm still in the inner house trying to eat Sushan, how could I know!"

Dugu Shan happily picked up the silver bowl that the maid brought back and sipped it carefully this time: "Tsk, tsk, sister, you have so many good things here! Why don't I just move here? I am always your brother, here, in There is no difference at home!”

Lady Miaoyin was too lazy to talk to this foodie anymore. She just called her maid and said, "I'm not asking you to find another similar one and put it back... Oh, it's not your fault. It's just that Aye is too smart! That knife is his I like her very much, but if I offend others because of this misunderstanding, how can we meet again in the future?"

She was restless here until it got dark in the evening and the maid came to tell her that her lord had returned to his residence. She hurriedly got up and pulled Dugu Shanxing out, who was still talking about staying for dinner, and went to her home through the side door adjacent to the two houses.

In the front hall, Dugu Xin looked at the large and small prey brought back by the tribe, but he did not feel the joy of returning home with a full load. He just said angrily: "Please order the kitchen to cook carefully and don't waste any of it! I made a heavy move. If you want to exchange this pile of junk, you must chew it carefully and remember the taste!"

After saying this, he put his hands behind his hands and walked to the back hall. As soon as he walked outside the corridor, he saw his little wife running over panting. Here, how can a woman be so ungrateful?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Aye, I just, Aye still..."

Lady Miaoyin knew she was in the wrong. After hearing this, she hurriedly put down the skirt in her hands and carefully asked questions.

Dugu Xin glared again, waved his hand and said: "Go back! Although you have been born in Rexiao, I didn't move here just to make you willful and ungrateful! Although my family is not high-ranking, we have our own rules! We are in front of others and behind others. , especially I can’t let some disgusting things think that I am careless!”

Seeing her father's serious face, Lady Miaoyin seemed to be really angry, so she didn't dare to be willful. She bowed her head in low voice, turned around and walked out of the house.

Mrs. Cui, the lady in the back hall, heard her husband's angry scolding and hurriedly came over. Before she could speak, she was glared at by Dugu Xin.

"The house slaves who were trained this morning will be given gifts to comfort them, and the slaves in charge of the treasury will be sent to other places in the countryside for resettlement. They are not allowed to stay in the house anymore!"

Mrs. Cui knew that Dugu Xin was angry before noon. Madam Miaoyin suddenly came back to find her just now but hesitated to speak. She vaguely guessed something, so she whispered: "Is this the little lady who secretly took the husband's beloved thing? Which child?" Don’t make mistakes, teach patiently…”

"How can I preach? You know she gave me the knife as a gift... Oh, no more talk about this matter, no more questions! In the West Residence, no one is allowed to come in and out, and she is allowed to live in peace in the hall!"

Dugu Xin sighed and ordered angrily.

"This is too harsh..."

Before Cui finished speaking, Dugu Xin snorted coldly: "Is it true that you, a famous old family, are only allowed to abide by etiquette in this world, and I am not worthy of being a military commander? If not, if not... In short, if that kid dares to think like this and deliberately insult me, I will kill him Got him!"

Mrs. Cui was angered for not knowing what was going on, but seeing that Dugu Xin was really angry, she quickly nodded and said, "Now that we live together in the same place, please rest assured, I will definitely abide by the etiquette in the household."
