Chapter 88 Storm

Until recently, Wanhua was called by Hanxiang to Xiyuan to try on new clothes. Shaohua refused to go with him on the grounds that it was not his own clothes and was not eye-catching. Wanhua didn't force her. Anyway, it was lunch time, and Shaohua didn't have a chance to run around.

The weather is getting warmer, and the always fragrant, soft and glutinous sweet soup has been replaced by other soups. Shaohua drank a large bowl of winter melon and tremella soup. Because I eat too much hot food in winter, I have been restless all February, either coughing at night or having a low fever. After a winter, Shaohua gained a lot of weight. Last year's clothes were a little tight, and Jinhua made fun of him for not growing up.

Compared with Shaohua's soft figure, Jinhua looks much slimmer. He is one year younger than Shaohua, but his size is faintly more than Shaohua. The waist is like a willow, a light apricot dress, a jade-colored dress, and a dark belt, which looks slimmer, as if it can be broken with one hand.

Shaohua stared at her graceful waist, and her eyes were about to get angry. Looking at the layer of meat on her stomach, she almost cried. She used to eat meat every day and didn't get fat, but now she doesn't have to eat as much as before, but she has gained fat.

However, Shaohua obviously forgot that life in the mansion could not be compared with that on the grass. No matter how restless she is, she can at most kick the shuttlecock, play with cloth bags, and jump ropes.

So in the days when Wanhua stared at her every day and didn't let her run around, Shaohua insisted on running around in the yard every day, holding a thin bamboo to draw moves. At first, Wanhua thought she was restless. Shaohua patted her chest and made a heroic speech: "I have to restore my slender waist before Duanyang." Wanhua walked over and pinched her waist. As expected, he was deeply sympathetic and solemnly told her, "Then you have to work hard."

Shaohua was almost choked by Wanhua's words, but at least Wanhua no longer stopped her from running around the yard.

"Five ladies, won't you eat?" Chu He looked at the nearly half of the food left on the table and asked worriedly.

In the past, Shaohua would never put down his chopsticks if he didn't lick the things on the table, but recently he ate less and less. Although it is to digest and lose weight, it is not such a way. If you are hungry, how can you lose weight?

Shaohua looked back reluctantly, touched his stomach, and shook his head resolutely, "I'm full. You can clean it up." Chu He sighed and had to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but Shaohua's eyes followed Chu He's hand and swallowed aggrievedly.

Seeing this, Youhan smiled and hurriedly brought a cup of sweet and sour grapefruit tea newly made last year. "Five ladies, let's have some grapefruit tea to eliminate greasiness and delicious food. Last year, I specially peeled two thick-skinned grapefruits, and now it has just opened the urn. At the bottom of the teacup, there are a few clear yellow and transparent grapefruit strips, soaking the soup into a strong brown color, and the sweet and slightly sour taste is appetizing.

"The garden has been very quiet recently." Shaohua finished drinking grapefruit tea before he squinted and smiled contentedly.

"Five ladies, you didn't pay attention. The garden has not been peaceful for a long time." The young man looked at her and shook his head.

"What's going on? Isn't that Xiu Niang obediently taking care of the third aunt? Only then did Shaohua remember that he hadn't seen Zhuang Xiuniang for many days. When she just moved in, she wandered around in her yard for three days. Sometimes she was so annoyed that she had to close the door and pretended that she was not there before she left with Xiao Hong. Because Zhuang Xiuniang did not have the courage to provoke Jinhua, and Wanhua's silence made her think about it in less than a quarter of an hour.

Suddenly, I feel that Zhuang Xiuniang is also a little pitiful. She can't go back to her home, and she is not free in other people's homes, and she is not liked.

"It has nothing to do with that little lady. The maid next to her got into trouble and almost had a big accident." The child muttered.

"Quickly talk about it." Shaohua immediately turned over and sat up, gossiped to the young man's side, and urged excitedly.

In the past few days, she was trapped in Biwuxuan by Wanhua. She became a completely blind deaf, and Wanhua often made her practice calm. But with her nature, if she wants to ignore external things, then just let her sleep. When she is lazy, she doesn't care about anything.

When Youhan saw Shaohua's interest, he began to talk: "I heard my godmother say that my godmother is also a part-door steward's mother, Qing's mother's..." Shaohua listened and interrupted impatiently: "Don't go around, talk about the point!" The young man was a little aggrieved. After thinking about it, he had to say, "It's just that the second young master didn't like that lady, but it's not easy to drive her away, so he just let her serve beside the third lady. Originally, it was nothing, but the maid really did it. Before the master opened her mouth, she actually wanted to climb into the second young master's bed.

"Cough, Xiao Hong has become the second brother?" Shaohua coughed because of the young Han's words. Hearing this, Chu He quickly ran in from the outside and poured water for her. Shaohua raised his hand to stop Chu He's fuss and continued to look at Youhan and let her finish her words.

"No, it's not that easy to get it." When Youhan saw the unhappy color of Chuhe, he spit out his tongue and didn't pay attention to it. He told Shaohua about the ancient times. Besides, even if she gets it, it's the same. Can't you still praise her? It's not that the maid has seduced the young master to go to bed. If it's her own maid, there are also beatings and matching people.

But Xiaohong is not the Li family, so it's naturally not easy to sell, but she can't indulge her. If this is going to spread, don't ruin Li Sinian's reputation.

Youhan's eyes hummed with great disdain, secretly scolding the banker for teaching an unruly maid and ruining their reputation for leaving home. However, the second young master was really angry this time, and he was not polite to the show lady and revered for a while. I don't know what to say. Anyway, it's the truths that scholars often say, which makes my wife cry. If it hadn't been for the protection of the third lady, I'm afraid that the second young master would drive them back overnight.

This is not a trivial matter! Shaohua covered his chest and exclaimed, "What about now? Why didn't you hear anyone talk about it?

Chu He also listened to some and sighed, "This is a family ugliness. How can you be ashamed to publicize your own affairs everywhere?" The third master passed behind, and the garden fell. At three o'clock, Aunt Pang came to fight the autumn wind and lead the sheep.

At first, the Li family treated her politely as the only sister of the Pang family and respectfully respected her as a guest. But after many times, as soon as Aunt Pang's nature was exposed, Ling and Liu didn't like to pay attention to her. Aunt Pang couldn't find a good one, so she had to complain every time I was in the garden that these two sisters-in-law were bad to Pang, and Pang could only smile bitterly.

"I heard that the second young master asked his aunt to take her back today." It took a long time for Youhan to burst into new news.

Shaohua was ready to move and immediately jumped into his bed. "Let's go to the garden."

Chus He hurriedly grabbed her, "Five Lady, what are you going to do in the Garden? If the Third Lady knows, she will be unhappy."

Shaohua glanced at Chu He with dissatisfaction, "I didn't climb over the wall and climb the tree, as for such a fuss." Chuhe Youhan looked at each other and felt the same, but they didn't dare to answer. Shaohua said angrily, "Who are your maids? If you really listen to the third sister like this, why don't you marry her?"

Without waiting for them to speak and stride out, she felt that she was about to grow hair when she stayed in Biwuxuan.

At this time, the garden is indeed not peaceful as Youhan said.

The whole garden put down the work at hand, ran to the yard, and pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation in the room.

Li Sinian sat at the head of Pang's bed and gave her a smooth breath. He narrowed his eyes into a seam and glanced at everyone fiercely. Xiao Hong was frightened and hid in the most corner for fear of being seen by Li Sinian. Zhuang Xiuniang stood in the middle of the room, deterred by the majesty of her direct mother and worried about Pang's body. In recent days, Zhuang Xiuniang still felt Pang's gentleness and kindness and full of hope that she could become her daughter-in-law.

Only from Li Si's early departure and late return, and even no return all night, Zhuang Xiuniang gave up from the bottom of her heart and took care of Pang's living. On the contrary, Xiaohong was watching and anxious. If Zhuang Xiuniang couldn't do it, she would also be scolded, so she secretly drugged Li Sinian soup porridge and wanted to cook cooked rice first while he was in a coma.

What she never expected was that Li Sinian didn't like sweets, so he didn't eat a mouthful of the sweet soup. Because of Zhuang Xiuniang's face, he secretly poured it out and left an empty bowl for her. As a result, he caught a big fish with a straight hook and caught such a fat fish as Xiaohong.

Aunt Pang's thick voice was so loud that everyone in the yard could hear it. She put her hands on her waist and looked at Li Sinian angrily: "Since everyone is an adult, just open the skylight and speak openly. I kindly asked a woman to stay at your house to take care of your mother, thinking that you are not young and need your own people to take care of Leng Nuan. If you don't appreciate it, what kind of attitude do you have!"

Pang listened to his sister's words and looked at Li Sinian's expression, which was in a dilemma. Li Sinian confessed the matter to her long ago. She couldn't refuse her sister's plea, so she closed her eyes. After all, on the one hand, she is her only relative, but on the other hand, she relies on her for the rest of her life. How can she bear to destroy her heir?

Li Sinian gently patted her hand, looked at Aunt Pang, and said lightly, "I didn't know that the maids in my aunt's family were so considerate and stuck to **. This is going to spread. Should I say that my behavior is so careless that I don't even let go of my relatives' maids, or that the banker's maid is well-bred and looks up with benefits. I am grateful to Xiu Niang for taking care of my mother these days, but there are many maids in my family, and I haven't been luxurious enough to take my relative's wife as a maid. Auntie, you'd better take it back. We appreciate this kindness.

Li Sinian's tone was so calm that he seemed to be talking about today's weather. Inaudible, he was almost forced to bow by this relative's maid.
