At the end of the month, the atmosphere in Mrs. Cheng's yard was a little more tense than usual.
There was a snap.
The ladies in charge who were sitting on their knees in the room shivered.
"This family no longer needs me, right?" Mrs. Cheng raised her eyebrows and shouted.
There were discarded ledgers scattered on the ground.
"Madam, it was the second lady's personal order. It's really..." Several ladies in charge leaned on the ground and said tremblingly.
They didn't know how to say this, fearing that it might instigate discord between the two sisters-in-law.
It's her again, why is this young lady getting smaller and smaller as she lives?
She refused to say that she could no longer act like she couldn't see it, otherwise she would have left when she randomly made clothes and bought utensils and toys, and this time she randomly added delicacies from mountains and seas.
It's a public account, I don't know what I will do next time.
"Please come, Madam Two." Mrs. Cheng said, "You all can go down."
The ladies in charge hurriedly responded, packed up the account books and filed out carefully.
When they left the house, they all winked at each other and stuck out their tongues.
Stay away.
Mrs. Cheng Er smiled when she heard the eldest lady's invitation.
"What do you want your sister-in-law to do?" Mr. Cheng Er, who was sitting on the ground reading a book, asked casually.
"Perhaps you miss me after not seeing each other for a few days." Mrs. Cheng Er smiled and stood up.
Master Cheng Er laughed.
"Then go quickly and sit down for a while," he said.
Watching Mrs. Cheng Er go out, Mr. Cheng Er yawned while he was reading a book. He heard a woman's laughter outside. It was a clear and refreshing autumn day, and the laughter sounded particularly attractive.
He put down his book and stood up and walked out. Soon the laughter outside disappeared, and the maids in the yard didn't see Master Cheng coming back.
"Who is outside?" a servant girl asked with a smile.
A servant girl standing at the door curled her lips.
"That aunt's person in the east courtyard." She whispered.
"This aunt has really sharp eyes." The servant girl from before said with a smile.
The two maids looked at each other and smiled silently.
Mrs. Cheng Er walked leisurely on the road with her servants and girls. They had to pass the lotus pond to go to the eldest lady's place.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and this chrysanthemum has bloomed." She said, looking at the chrysanthemums beside the flower pond.
"Yes, the chrysanthemums bloomed early this year." The servant woman smiled.
Mrs. Cheng Er slowed down her steps.
"Well, okay, let me take a look." She said.
The maids behind him looked at each other, a little anxious and a little confused.
Doesn’t Mrs. Cheng have something to look for? Why, are you still delayed?
But they are not stupid enough to remind them, Mrs. Cheng Er is not a fool!
"Mother." Cheng Qiniang's voice came from the other side.
Mrs. Cheng Er looked over and saw Cheng Qiniang and several other girls admiring the flowers.
"Have fun, be careful and don't fall into the water," she said.
Cheng Qiniang clasped her hands over there and shouted "I know", then watched her mother lead the others away.
"It's so boring," she said, throwing the flower branch in her hand into the pool.
Cheng Wuniang and Si Niang were choosing chrysanthemums for Liu Niang to wear.
"I heard that Madam Dong is hosting a tea party at her home," Cheng Liuniang said.
"So what, we can't go or we will be laughed at." Cheng Qiniang said, sitting down on the rock and looking at the chrysanthemums in front of her, "When will that fool leave?"
"Stop talking nonsense, where are you going?" Cheng Wuniang said.
"The chrysanthemums in our house are blooming so well, but Mrs. Dong's house doesn't have them. She holds a tea party, and I can hold a chrysanthemum party." Cheng Liuniang said with her eyes shining.
"Sister, if you are laughed at when you go out, why don't you invite people to your house to see the fool?" Cheng Qiniang pouted, stretched out her hand and tore off a half-opened chrysanthemum, crushed it, and threw it on the ground.
"That's right." Cheng Liuniang said dejectedly.
"Why don't you send her to a Taoist temple? My father said it. The Taoist priest said at that time that it would be good for her to send her to a Taoist temple." Cheng Qiniang said angrily, grabbing the chrysanthemum.
Cheng Liu Niang looked thoughtfully at the bright chrysanthemums all over the yard.
"You are admiring the flowers." came the man's voice.
The sisters looked at it and smiled in surprise.
"Fourth brother!"
Cheng Silang lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a month, but he seemed to be energetic, and he was standing by the girl holding his hand.
The sisters gathered around to say hello.
"Fourth brother, you still dare to come to the garden, aren't you afraid of being caught by the female ghost again?" Cheng Qiniang said with a smile.
Several other sisters were busy teasing her.
Cheng Silang smiled innocently.
"Don't be afraid, ghosts are afraid of evil people. We didn't catch her last time, so she didn't dare to come this time." He smiled and stroked Cheng Qiniang's head.
"Fourth brother, ghost, do you look scary?" Cheng Qiniang became interested and asked curiously.
"It's not scary." Cheng Silang smiled.
"Okay, okay, let the fourth brother take a walk and relax, let's play over there." Cheng Wuniang said.
Although Cheng Qiniang still wanted to ask about the female ghost, her sisters had no choice but to leave, and she did not want to be left alone without letting her play, so she reluctantly followed her.
"Sir, are you tired? Let's go back." Chunlan asked.
"I'm not tired." Cheng Silang looked at the distance ahead and said, "Let's walk again."
Chunlan responded and supported him, and the two walked slowly.
When they came to the big rock, they stopped at the same time.
When Cheng Silang was about to speak, he turned to look at Chunlan and saw her staring blankly at the rock.
She... doesn't even look at it?
Cheng Silang looked over and saw the woman sitting upright and looking down calmly in a daze, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Chunlan, have you come here to beg a female ghost?" He suddenly said, "Did you see something here?"
Chunlan shivered.
"Slave, here I met someone who gave me some advice and saved the young master," she said.
Cheng Silang said oh, feeling a little disappointed.
Maybe that woman was really what he saw in his hallucination, and he was already ill at that time.
"That girl from the Zhou family," he said, smiling slightly, "I didn't even thank her, so I left."
Chunlan nodded.
"Yes." She said, looking at the rocks again. The strange thing was that she could not remember the description of the girl clearly. Instead, the silly lady covered in soap gauze emerged clearly. She shook her head, "Sir,
, it’s up to you, let’s go back, it’s getting cold now.”
Cheng Silang said hello, helped her turn around and walked away slowly.
At this time, Mrs. Cheng Er finally sat down in front of Mrs. Cheng.
"Sister-in-law, the chrysanthemums are blooming well here," she said, looking at a sprig of chrysanthemums placed in front of the screen.
"Everything in the garden is in bloom. If you like, go and pick more." Mrs. Cheng said.
Mrs. Cheng Er took a sip of the tea brought by the girl.
"Although ours are good, they are not the best. There is a new gardener in the city who has raised many expensive chrysanthemums." She said, "Everyone rushed to buy them. I was lucky and got two of them.
It will be delivered in a few days. My sister-in-law will take a look at it and she will definitely like it."
Mrs. Cheng's heart beat wildly when she heard the word "precious".
"How much?" she blurted out.
I heard that those precious flowers are worth thousands of gold!
"It's not expensive, three hundred guan." Mrs. Cheng Er said, "Sister-in-law, when the time comes, we will put it in the yard and we will also hold a flower viewing party..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Cheng raised her voice and called Qing Niang.
Mrs. Cheng Er looked at her and stopped talking.
"Return the flowers." Mrs. Cheng took a few deep breaths and said.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't seen it yet. You will definitely like it after you do." Mrs. Cheng Er smiled slightly and touched the fan. It was a newly bought ivory fan. It has a delicate texture and she liked it very much. "Besides, I gave you the deposit."
, there is no such thing as retreating."
Mrs. Cheng looked at her and gritted her teeth.
"Okay, since you like it, you can use your own money to buy whatever you want," she said.
"That's what my sister-in-law said." Mrs. Cheng Er smiled and waved her fan, "They are all members of the family. Why can't I use the family's money?"
"You!" Mrs. Cheng shouted angrily.
This is probably the first time Peng Qingniang has talked to herself like this since she came in!
What happened to her? She became so weird! Is she possessed by a ghost?
