Chapter 100: The Scales Can't Be Touched
Chapter 100
'Oh, what kind of guest?' asked He Linwan in surprise.
The thrush turned sideways to let He Linwan go first, and whispered, "Girl, it's Mrs. Gu who is here with Young Master and Miss Cousin. ‘
Chunxiao blinked, and leaned over in surprise: "Young Master Cousin, I heard that Mrs. Gu only has one daughter, when did she give birth to another young master?"
Thrush glanced at Chunxiao and pushed her head away: "Are you pretending to be confused or what?" This young master is naturally the concubine born to his aunt, the one who is one year older than Miss Cousin. I heard that my aunt wanted him to study at Wanshan Academy in the capital, so I followed my aunt to Beijing this time. ‘
Chunxiao begged for mercy: "Good sister, don't be angry. I'm curious, didn't Mrs. Gu always dislike this concubine? Why did she bring him into Beijing? Isn't this the sun coming out in the west?'
The thrush sighed, glanced at He Linwan, who was walking in front, and whispered to Chunxiao: "How can you like it if it doesn't come out of your own belly?" But what can be done? Mrs. Gu only gave birth to Miss Cousin, and when the aunt goes, won't the family let the concubine be in charge? The aunt now wants to train a successor for his team, can Mrs. Gu disagree?"
Chunxiao pouted and said, "I heard that there are also powerful wives outside who have only given birth to a girl and recruit for their daughters." ‘
The thrush took a sip at Chunxiao: "What kind of rules are you talking about breaking the rules of the family? Even if the aunt agrees, can the Chu family clan agree? The Chu family is a big local family." For this kind of family, the clan rules are greater than the sky. Mrs. Gu is amazing. But have you forgotten that when the aunt herself could not give birth to a son and was not allowed to take a concubine, the clan wanted the aunt to divorce his wife and remarry? If it weren't for the old lady who asked the uncle to rush over to mediate and persuaded the aunt to let the aunt take the concubine, do you think that the aunt would still be the wife in charge of the Chu family for so many years? The kind of family in the Chu family doesn't care how big your father and brother are!"
Although He Linwan was walking in front, she had good ears, so she heard the whispers of the two maids clearly, and she knew a little more about the situation of this aunt and grandmother who had never met in the Chu family.
When she arrived at the old lady's yard, the maid who was holding the curtain at the door seemed to want to go in and report when she saw He Linwan coming, and finally just lowered her head and opened the curtain for He Linwan. He Linwan walked to the door and heard the crying inside, only to know that this maid was afraid of interrupting the memories of the masters inside.
He Linwan waved his hand at the maid, and when he walked in, he heard a strange female voice crying: "...... I've finally understood it over the years. I don't have a son, so I deserve to be bullied by their Chu family. I'm too lazy to fight with others to grab it, I just hope that Rong'er can make a profit now, so that I can raise my eyebrows in the Chu family!"
The old lady patted her leg and cried, 'My poor girl, why is your life so miserable!'
Seeing this, Yu immediately took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and cried together, and the maids and ladies in the house also began to howl together.
He Linwan, who just walked in: '......'
The old lady is getting old. A room full of people crying is not afraid of bad luck?
The second wife did not cry along. She just looked at the mother and daughter crying on top with a sad face. The eldest lady and Weiss stood aside. Keep your head down, look at your nose, and look at your heart.
However, Wei still found out that He Linwan came in as soon as possible, and quietly made a gesture to her to keep quiet. He Lin didn't disturb the crying of the room at night. Quietly stood aside and waited.
Over there, Chu Heshi finally cried enough and raised his head from the old lady's arms. He Linwan finally saw Chu He's appearance clearly, this time He Linwan found that the old lady always said that her daughter followed her was true, Chu He and the old lady, the mother and daughter, would not be mistaken wherever they went, they were all black, thin and shriveled, and couldn't support their clothes.
Chu He took the handkerchief handed over by the maid and wiped the tears of the old lady: "Mother, don't cry, my daughter is distressed when I hurt my body." Saying that, he looked up at He Linwan, and Chu He was stunned: "This is the girl from the fourth family?"
The old lady grabbed the handkerchief in Chu He's hand and blew her nose, and glanced at He Linwan in the gap: "It's from the third family." What are you doing standing there, come and meet your aunt and cousin. ‘
He Linwan walked over and met Chu He's aunt and grandmother, who was only in her early forties, and as for the cousin in the old lady's mouth......
He Linwan's eyes turned around the old lady and Chu He's before she found her cousin Chu Rong'er, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
It can't be blamed that He Linwan's eyes are not good, but it is really difficult for this cousin to stand in front of a bunch of maids and wives to make people notice, because her appearance is too lackluster.
Originally, He Linwan learned that Chu He's had waited for three years to send Chu Rong'er to the palace, and this Chu Rong'er's appearance should be very good, so that Chu He's family would have so much confidence that she could be favored by the people in the palace.
Chu Rong'er is not similar to her grandmother and mother, she has a pair of triangular eyes, a flat nose, and only her lips are relatively small and delicate, but this does not save her flat facial features. However, Chu Rong'er's figure and complexion follow the old lady and Chu He's, but obviously this does not add points to her appearance.
He Linwan called out to Chu Rong'er to her cousin, and Chu Rong'er glanced at her and nodded.
Chu He only glanced at He Lin a few times and then turned his head to talk to the old lady again, not enthusiastic about her. He Lin saw that Mei had something to do with herself, so he stood by Wei's side.
The Yu family got along with Chu He's family very warmly, and only heard her say to Chu He's family there: 'Auntie, my cousin is really smart, no wonder you must let her enter the palace, where can ordinary people be worthy of being like this?'
He Linwan lowered their heads when they saw that the people in the room heard this, and even the corners of the second lady's mouth twitched.
Chu He's face was taken for granted: "Don't you look at how much effort I put into her?" It's not that I praise my daughter, when I'm at home, the threshold of my house is about to be broken by the matchmaker. ‘
Yu immediately smiled and flattered: "My aunt is really good at raising a daughter, and I also have a daughter." It's just that she doesn't look half as good as her cousin, and if she stands in front of her cousin, she can only be a foil! Hey! Seeing the girl getting older day by day, this is really worrying. ‘
Chu He was a little interested when she heard this, and she looked around: "Oh, where are the people? Speaking of which, I haven't seen your girl yet." ‘
Yu glanced at the second lady: "The child is naughty, she made a little mistake a while ago, and the second aunt punished her for copying the house rules in the room." ‘
Chu He also glanced at the second lady and said, "The second sister-in-law is good at everything, but she is too serious. Where is there a child who doesn't make mistakes? Just teach a lesson or two. Now that I'm back, can my sister-in-law let the child come out to meet my aunt and her cousin in my face?'
Yu immediately glanced at Chu He gratefully.
The old lady also said, 'This girl has been locked up for a few days, hasn't she?'
The second lady smiled: "Since the sister-in-law has come to intercede." Where should I be a sister-in-law? ‘
Yu immediately said, "Thank you, auntie, then I'll have someone bring her to see my aunt." With that, Yu got up and went out with joy.
Yu soon came with He Ling. I don't know what the mother and daughter think, when He Ling came in, she wore a half-new plain jacket and skirt, with only a silk flower on her head, and no other decorations. This is very different from the style of He Ling on weekdays.
However, Chu He glanced at He Ling. There was a little satisfaction in his eyes.
Yu asked He Ling to go to Chu He's He family to see Chu Rong'er. Chu He smiled: "This is Ling'er? Rong'er come here, can you let Ling'er be your companion in the future?'
He Ling glanced at Chu Rong'er and couldn't help but be stunned. Originally, the Yu family had confessed to her outside, and she must praise her for her good looks after seeing her cousin, but He Ling's ability to open her eyes and talk nonsense was far from being cultivated to the level of her own mother, so after looking at Chu Rong'er for a long time, she smiled stiffly and said: "Cousin...... My cousin really has a temperament. ‘
Yu Shi quietly glanced at He Ling, as if he was dissatisfied with her performance, and reminded her to wake up. I don't want Chu He's rain Chu Rong'er was overjoyed when she heard this, Chu Rong'er stepped forward and grabbed He Ling's hand and said, "Okay, mother, I am very close to Ling'er." ‘
And they all rejoiced.
He Linwan watched from the sidelines, and he really didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the old lady to leave only Chu He's He and Chu Rong'er to talk privately and send them out.
As soon as He Ling walked out of the old lady's yard, she immediately pouted when she saw that there were no others around, pulled the clothes on her body and said, "Mother, where did you find the torn clothes, don't wear them for your daughter!"
Yu said, 'Would you rather be imprisoned or would you rather be clothed?'
He Ling couldn't help but pout.
After all, Yu still felt sorry for his daughter, so he took her hand and whispered to him: "Good, dress like this first, please your aunt and grandmother and cousin, and you won't have to do it in the future." Your mother didn't understand this truth before, and she only learned it after a few times with that Mrs. You in the past few years. Some people just like not to hold her, hoping that others are not as good-looking as her. ‘
He Ling couldn't help but sneer when she heard this: "She looks so ugly and still wants to be a mother and a princess!
The old god of the Yu family smiled on the ground: "You don't know, this time your aunt and grandmother brought Chu Rong'er into Beijing to let Chu Rong'er socialize more with the ladies in Beijing, because even if you can't be the queen concubine, your aunt and grandmother will find a family in Beijing to marry Chu Rong'er." If you have a good relationship with Chu Rong'er, then she will definitely find you to accompany her when she goes out for a while. ‘
Saying this, the Yu family glanced at He Ling a few times, and nodded with satisfaction: "Although your aunt and grandmother have the idea to let you be a foil for Chu Rong'er, but when the two of you stand together, isn't it obvious who is beautiful and who is ugly? So what are you afraid of? My daughter is a hundred times more beautiful than her even if she wears coarse cloth clothes." With Chu Rong'er's stinky monster lining you on the side, the eyes of people outside will stay on you. ‘
He Ling thought about Chu Rong'er's respectful face, and she also thought about Yu's words, and the unhappiness in her heart quickly disappeared.
After Wei's He Lin returned to the West Courtyard in the evening, several maids quietly gathered together and didn't know what they were talking about, and their laughter could be heard in the house from time to time.
Mama Li said them a few times, and they stopped, and then when they were on errands, they hid away and whispered whenever they were on errands. Mama Li saw that they were not in front of the masters, so she went with them.
After changing his clothes, Wei came out and asked casually, 'What's the matter?'
Mama Li said helplessly: "I'm not talking about Miss Biao, before she came, everyone in the house was rumored that Miss Cousin was a fairy-like figure, and she was so ...... today."
Wei frowned: "Anyway, they are the distinguished guests of the house, you take care of them and let them not go out and talk nonsense." No matter what, don't talk about a woman's appearance. ‘
Mama Li immediately responded: "Knowing Mrs., the slave will remind them." ‘
Wei looked at Xianghe Lingwan again: "I have already sent someone to look for you, why did you come back at this time?" Fortunately, the old lady was busy catching up with your aunt and grandmother today, and she didn't have time to ask you. ‘
Wei always indulged He Linwan, but he was afraid that the old lady would know what would happen.
He Lin said lately: "I wanted to come back early, but I encountered an incident on the way that was delayed. Saying that, He Linwan told Wei that she was stopped by four people, but she said it selectively, and did not mention that she faced four gangsters alone.
So Wei thought that Chun Xiaohe's Zhao Gongzi had always been by He Linwan's side, but when Wei heard that Mrs. Wei's cousin was going to kidnap his daughter and sell him, and he wanted his youngest son's life to be big, Wei immediately broke out.
He Linwan had never seen such an ugly face, and it could even be called hideous, He Linwan was also taken aback, and immediately stopped talking.
Wei sat there for a long time without speaking, and just when He Linwan was afraid that she would be angry and wanted to say something to liven up the atmosphere, Wei said coldly: "Don't go out for the time being until the Wei family's affairs are over, and I will leave the matter of auditing to others." ‘
Although He Linwan knew that the coldness in Wei's tone was not aimed at herself, she still nodded obediently: "Got it, mother. ‘
Wei's face slowly recovered, and when he looked at He Linwan, he finally had some of the gentleness he had on weekdays: "Ah Wan, bear with me first, my mother promises not to let you wait too long." ‘
Although Wei's tone was very soft, He Linwan shuddered in his heart for some reason.
He Linwan glanced at Wei, and didn't ask much about how the so-called 'matter was over' in Wei's mouth, she intuitively felt that even if she asked, Wei would not tell her.
