Chapter 8 Persuasion

Jingfu and her people came into the room and waited in the ear room next to her. Mudan picked up the curtain first and went to report to the old lady.

"Old lady, the eldest lady is here, are you going to meet?"

Peony walked forward gently and looked up slightly at the old lady.

The old lady leaned half on the imperial concubine's couch with lotus flowers and rosewood, pillowing a cushion with a red embroidered rich flower blossoms. Half closed her eyes and looked sleepy, she pinched a string of beeswax Buddhist beads in her hand and gently twisted it.

Hearing the movement, he raised his head and opened his eyes, and a trace of light leaked out, and then he calmed down his emotions.

"See someone?"

Peony bent down slightly and bowed, "Yes, I saw it. My face was swollen and high. How could it be better if this was spread? No matter how good the face was, I was a slave. How could there be a reason why the slave beat the master's face?

All the neighbors are coming to attend the funeral. Seeing that people have become like this, they thought you were urging your slaves to abuse your granddaughter. You can't wash it even if you jump into the Yellow River."

The old lady's fingers twisting the Buddhist beads became faster and faster.

"Someone asked?"

The voice became more majestic and his face sank unconsciously.

"When I went to the door to explain the matter, an old lady from the neighbor's house next door came to ask what was going on. It was vaguely heard the lady's shout.

He also said that his mother was gone, but the poor lady had lost her mother early, and I just dealt with it and fooled her."

Mudan frowned and looked very worried, she wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.

"Say something if you have something to do."

The old lady has always trusted and loved Mudan. She has been serving for many years, so she values ​​her magnanimity and cleverness. Unlike other children, Mudan can use it in the right place when speaking and doing things. This girl wins her heart the most.

Peony took two steps forward, poured the old lady a cup of hot tea and put it in her hand to warm it, and raised her hand to pinch her shoulders.

"I don't know if this is appropriate. I just have a little bit of a humble opinion. The young lady's temper is indeed a bit rigid, and this matter may not be all Ma Ma's fault. Maybe the young lady is too arrogant and annoyed Ma's.

But I have to say it again. We are slaves. No matter how you get a face, you gave it to the old lady. Even if the young lady is wrong, she is still the master. With the guidance of you and the master, how can we have the qualifications to intervene in discipline? This is to avoid being a little bit of relying on our seniority.

It would be fine to beat and scold us servants on weekdays. We respect the nanny as your dowry, but it doesn’t mean she can beat the master.

What's more, the fight was so heavy that it was about to be buried tomorrow and the Yang family was about to come, which made the outside family feel a bustling again.

It’s okay to watch the fun, but the key is that this reputation is not good. What if it affects the master’s official position, what’s better? Aren’t all the master’s colleagues coming tomorrow?"

The words of advancing and retreating are the most important thing to point out the master’s reputation, which is what the old lady cares about the most.

The old lady's frowning brows were slightly relaxed, and her expression was faint and she couldn't tell too much emotion.

"What should you do in your opinion?"

Mudan stood behind the old lady's back and her eyes lit up, and she smiled slightly, "I want me to say you don't have to worry. No matter what, the eldest lady is still surnamed Du. I looked coldly at the young lady's temper, even if she was too arrogant, she might not be a talented person."

There was a hint of scent in the sound.

The old lady stopped her hand that was twisting the Buddhist beads, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say this?"

"The coward is just a little bitch but can't make a fuss. Look at how the young lady does it? The neighbors have come to ask, no matter what, you have to make a fuss in your heart. It's a worry-free fool who has this ability. According to me, the eldest daughter is our eldest daughter."

"She is afraid she has hatred for me and wants to go back to the Yang family."

The old lady had no expression on her face, but her voice was very depressed.

"If you want to go back, just go back. At this critical moment, we always lose some reason. It is reasonable to go back to my grandfather's family to get close to each other. In a Yang family, an old lady was a first-rate wife and was granted the imperial court. She was qualified to teach the young lady.

After all, the eldest lady has no mother. If you have any bad health, you have to worry about the big mansion. There are always some omissions."

Mudan paused, and saw that the old lady had no reaction, and didn't know what she was thinking. She bit her lip and made up her mind to take another dose of strong medicine.

"If the future wife teaches her, let alone the eldest lady remembers it, I might be resentful to the new wife. Besides, it is an outdoor room and will be revealed one day sooner or later.

I'm afraid I'm not good at the young lady's reputation. I look coldly at the young lady's temper and nature. I may not be able to have a high aspiration in the future. This is the primary education. There is no flaw in the palace."

Mudan had long known the old lady's mind. Those who were determined to be successful will never let the younger generation decide their future.

"You're so optimistic about her?"

"I was not there at the scene at that time, but Ma Ma is about to die. We are in a slight position and cannot argue. Doesn't this mean that the young lady won the first step?

Don’t you think she is worthy of attention? After all, it was a child taught by the wife. As expected, none of the daughters of the big clan are easy to share with each other.”

Peony whispered softly in her ear.

The old lady smiled, this was the first smile she had since the incident happened.

"I can understand this if you agree with her going back to Yang's family to raise her, but what should I do if the kite is released and the string is broken."

The old lady was not unable to agree to go back to Yang's house. Although it made her feel unhappy when she went back there, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages and could be tolerated.

"A grandmother feels sorry for her granddaughter, and it is understandable to send two people to serve her. Could it be that she will let her granddaughter carry a bag and go to her grandfather's house to beg for food?

I always have to be paired with two personal maids, but the maids around the eldest lady can't be stuffed in, but the maids are still young, so why do you have to put two older girls to help you see how high your eyebrows are."

Peony's eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lifted up high. The opportunity came.

"Who do you think is suitable?"

The old lady felt that she had gone to heart. If she didn't stare at her, she would never be assured to let her go.

"I think Jinxiu in the master's house is suitable. One is that the dowry contract is also in the hands of the eldest lady, so she will not be too repulsive. Another new lady is about to enter the house and she can't tolerate Jinxiu anymore.

It’s better to give me a way out. When the wife comes in, she will choose the right opportunity to let Jinxiusheng be her aunt. She will definitely be happy."

Jinxiu is a dowry and a wife who was touched by the master. She originally wanted to be an aunt and give birth to a son, but her wife fell ill all of a sudden. Jinxiu was very loyal and forced to hold on.

But she was always the master, and this thread could not be broken.

The old lady nodded slightly and agreed.

"I'm afraid one is not enough. How come two people need to discuss with each other to be considered thorough. One person is a bit arbitrary after all."

A person's words are unreliable, and Jinxiu is a dowry, and it remains to be seen.

"This...or Furong is steady and honest."
