The old lady of Sifang suddenly asked Qiuyue about the origin of Shen Wenxin, which made it even more difficult for Qiuyue to answer.

The servants never dared to discuss the matter of the master.

Besides, even if the master doesn't care about it, a talkative person will definitely not be able to become a confidant.It may even cause disaster for yourself because of saying one more sentence.

In fact, in the deep house compound, the most important thing is to be strict with your mouth rather than being smart or not.

The fourth-bedroom old lady is obviously old and confused, otherwise she would not have understood this truth after staying in the Shen Mansion for so many years.

Qiuyue shook her head and prevaricated her a few words.

It happened that there was still something to finish, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye and retreated from the courtyard of the fourth room.

Outside the courtyard gate, Shen Lianzhu's two daughters were surrounding the maid who was carrying things.

The servant girl looked embarrassed, as if if Qiuyue came out later, she would just leave.

Qiuyue came out this time to do business in the yard of the second bedroom.Usually when she comes over, she will carry some pastries in her hand.This time it came out in a hurry, except for some supplements and medicinal materials, there was nothing else.

Seeing that there was nothing to eat, the two little girls couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.Their eyes fell on the things the little maid brought up, and they asked Qiuyue again: "Are these for uncle?"

Without waiting for Qiuyue to answer, the younger one reached out to the paper bag and grabbed it.

"I'll send it to my uncle!" She said with excitement in her eyes.

She was so unruly, which really surprised Qiuyue.Fortunately, the little maid who was carrying the things was alert and put the things behind her in time.

The little girl chased after her and wanted to catch her again, but she heard Shen Lianqi's displeased voice from the yard: "Hongyu, Huiyu, come back soon."

The two little girls seemed to be very afraid of their uncle, even though he was out of breath after walking two steps, but such a simple sentence made them be honest immediately.

Qiuyue watched them dejectedly turn around and walk into the yard. When they came to the gate of the yard, the older girl named Hongyu turned her head and gave her a hard look.Qiuyue's heart suddenly trembled, an indescribable strange feeling.

"Sister Qiuyue, do you think that the people in the fourth room are weird?"

On the way to the second room yard, the little maid tried to ask a question in Qiuyue's ear.She also seemed to feel uncomfortable, with a wrinkled face under her eyes, which looked ugly no matter what.

"Nonsense! You can also arrange the master's affairs?"

Qiuyue gave her a dissatisfied look, implying a warning.

The little girl quickly fell silent, wishing she could turn into a quail and bury her head low.

Although she is not good-looking like this, she can barely be regarded as well-behaved.Qiuyue didn't make things difficult for her, and led the people carefully into the gate of the second room's yard.

This courtyard also has a name, called "Xiyuan".

The layout of Xiyuan is simple and elegant, with tall trees planted in the courtyard, and when the wind blows, the rustling sound can be heard, which makes people feel refreshed.

This point is similar to Shen Mian's character.

Compared with Shen Dongci who is full of poems and books, Shen Mian is a complete vulgar person.From the birthday gifts he gave to the old lady in these years, it can be seen that it is either a golden Buddha or a jade Guanyin. It is simple and straightforward, and it is completely filial piety made of gold and silver.

Qiuyue didn't interact with him much, so she could only guess what he was like from these details.

There are so many masters in the house, which one has a good temper and which one has a bad temper, she has to find out clearly.Otherwise, if she unintentionally offends a certain master, her fate will be the same as that of Xin Ying, who will not know how she died.

While thinking about the second bedroom, Qiuyue, who was walking down the corridor, happened to run into the maid Xiuzhu who came out to pour water.

When Xiuzhu saw her, her first reaction was to be shocked.Qiuyue felt that she was weird, so she couldn't help but move her eyes half an inch inward, and asked her with a smile, "Xiuzhu, how is grandma?"

"I just got up after taking a nap." As she said that, Xiuzhu went to the side and poured out the water. Then she turned around and said with a smile, "Just wait, I'll report first."

After finishing speaking, she ignored Qiuyue and went directly into the house.

After a while, a big-armed man came out from inside.Perhaps because of the hot weather, he wore a white gauze gown lined with blue linen sweater trousers, looking very casual.

Qiuyue was startled, and hurried to the side to avoid, giving way.

"Hi, my lord!"

She curtseyed, very respectfully.

Shen Mian recognized that she was served by the old lady, so she couldn't help but smile heartily and asked her to get up and talk.

Only then did Qiuyue stand up in response, but because of Shen Mian's overwhelming pressure, she kept her head down, not daring to look up at him.

Shen Mian saw that although she lowered her head, she was a beauty with black hair and snow skin.Wrapped in gauze, she looks light and pretty.

For a while, I couldn't help but look twice more.

Qiuyue's face became a little hot from his gaze, so she couldn't help avoiding it.

At this moment, I heard Xiuzhu call out from the corridor, asking her to enter the room to answer.

Just now Qiuyue made another salute, and after saying goodbye to Shen Mian, she moved the pearl curtain and entered the main house surrounded by emerald screens and coral mats.

As soon as she entered, Chen Xifen asked Xiuzhu to move an embroidered pier for Qiuyue, and asked her to sit on her left.

Qiuyue didn't dare to overstep, thanked her several times before she sat down.

When she came back this time, in addition to expressing condolences, she also brought Chen Xifen a sentence from the old lady.

"The old lady said, it's time to take over the girl from the Ge family."

Chen Xifen's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?"

Qiuyue didn't know the inside story, so she couldn't help being a little confused.

Facing Chen Xifen's question, she had no choice but to reply with a smile: "The old lady only ordered this one, and the rest, the servants don't know."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be prevaricating, Chen Xifen couldn't help being more puzzled.There is only one and a half months left before leaving for the capital.It would be too hasty to act at this time.

Although she was puzzled in her heart, Chen Xifen also knew that this matter was unusual.The old lady is cautious by nature, she is afraid that she will hide it from the people around her.

Thinking of this, Chen Xifen didn't continue to talk about this topic, but admired Qiuyue's newly made pastries and asked her to take them home to eat.

Now that Qiuyue's words have been heard, there is no reason to stay in Xiyuan anymore.A few homely words were exchanged between the master and the servant, and before a cup of tea, Qiuyue got up and resigned.

Chen Xifen ordered Xiuzhu to send her off, and she was sent outside the gate of the courtyard.

When Xiuzhu went back, Chen Xifen was obviously thinking about something.

When she was hesitating whether to tell about Shen Mian's encounter with Qiuyue, she heard the sound of the ring, and the eldest lady Shen Xiang walked in from outside the house.

As soon as she came in, she looked around excitedly.

Xiuzhu guessed that she was looking for Shen Mian's figure, so she couldn't help reminding her: "Miss, my master just left."

Shen Xiang was disappointed, and glared at Xiuzhu impatiently.

Chen Xifen stepped forward to save the siege, and asked Xiuzhu to wait outside, carefully watching the stray cats outside, don't go to the room and knock down the tiles.

At the same time, he beckoned to Shen Xiang and asked her to sit down in front of him.

As soon as she sat down, Shen Xiang couldn't wait to ask her a few questions.The father and daughter hadn't seen each other for several days, and Shen Xiang missed him a little.

Chen Xifen called her to him, but it was because of another important matter in front of him.

She asked Shen Xiang: "Your uncle will leave for the capital next month to take up his post, and their family will settle there in the future. Let me ask you, do you want to be with them?"
