Chapter 53: The Careful Thoughts of the Hou Mansion's Concubine
The flower hall of the Yongding Houfu, the old lady wearing a Molan cardigan, sitting cross-legged on the warm auspicious cloud Shu embroidered round couch, three juanxiu girls leaning on the couch, or sitting or standing, the center of the flower hall is surrounded by a boxy gold-inlaid bronze fire plate, two small maids holding fire primers, and there is a little bit of sparks splashing silver charcoal.
When Fu Liluo came in with Shangguan Linyan, he happened to see the yellow-clothed girl who was smiling and trembling, lying on the lap of the old lady, and a crisp voice like a yellow warbler came: "It can be seen that the old lady is the queen mother of the sky, with the barbarism of the Beihu people, isn't the old lady still good, and was welcomed back to my Beiyi by the emperor?"
Fu Liluo glanced at Shangguan Linyan with a smile on his eyebrows, the two of them paused for a moment, only pricked up their ears to listen to the movement inside, through the finely broken window lattice, Fu Liluo rolled up his clear eyes and glanced in...
"But it's not! The Beihu people are vicious and barbaric, even if they capture me as a young man, in the end they will not lose their troops and lose their generals, and they will not dare to slack off and send me back. The old lady's bent lips crossed a trace of disdain, and she raised her hand and pointed to the small nest at the corner of her forehead: "This is this place, and a small pit has been knocked out of Shengsheng." ”
"According to Qian'er, the old lady's nest is to be full of blessings, so God specially gave it, hahaha..." Xuanyuan Qian, who was dressed in yellow, laughed and fell into the old lady's arms, and everyone laughed when they heard it.
At this time, the bead curtain hanging on the case of Mo Meixiang was lifted, and Shangguan Linyan, who was full of smiles, walked in, followed by a light purple girl dressed in plain brocade, and the fine and warm light covered her shallow figure, and she was like a fine willow by the lake, which made everyone lose their eyes, Fu Li Luo stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to the old lady." ”
With a beautiful smile on her little face, she took a step forward slightly, staring at her moist eyebrows like mountains and rivers, and bowed her head to the girls.
Tianjun was happy, and when he saw such a jade-like person coming up, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Come here, I was still thinking that you have a few days in the future, and I was thinking about asking your godmother to send someone to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself." The old lady smiled with a smile on her face, held Fu Liluo's cold fingertips, and handed the warm woman to her: "You kid, your hands are so cold!" With angry eyes, Manluo and Mama Li and others behind Fu Liluo took their hands to cover Fu Liluo's cold fingers.
Manluo shook her shoulders and pursed her lips and lowered her head, Mama Li smiled and stepped forward and bowed her waist: "What the old lady said was that she brought it, and the girl was in a hurry to get off the carriage, so she fell on the carriage." Mama Li hunched back to the side, cautiously and uneasily to look at the anger on the old lady's face.
"The old grandmother is eccentric, so she loves her sister, and when she comes, her eyes are full of her. Xuanyuan Qian, who was lying on the lap of the old lady, raised her head, scratched her eyes lightly, and Fu Liluo, who was standing beside her, pouted and bit her lips lightly: "Sister Xi will snub Qian'er as soon as she comes..."
The coquettish words provoked the two girls standing on the side to look at each other and smile, a girl in a light blue shirt, stepped forward and quipped: "Sister Qian'er will be obedient! Together with the old ancestor, you can only hurt you?" The light blue girl was disgusted, Xuanyuan Qian, who was sitting on the fur felt under the couch, pulled the girl in apricot-colored clothes on the side: "Can't the old ancestor love me and Sister Xian'er?" Or is it annoying to say that the mouth is boring?"
The woman in the light blue shirt said so smartly, Fu Liluo looked at her with a faint expression, only to see a smile on her round little face, plain appearance, different from the delicate Xuanyuan Yi and the delicate Xuanyuan Qian, the eyebrows and eyes are very ordinary, but the freckles on Qiong's nose can't help but look at it twice, she seems to be aware of Fu Liluo's visiting gaze, and she looked up and bumped into a pair of dark eyes, only faintly bent her lips towards Fu Liluo.
Shangguan Lin Yan smiled, stepped forward and pulled the light blue woman's hand sleeve, looked at Fu Liluo and smiled: "Xi'er, come and see your sister You'er!" and lovingly tugged the girl's hair: "Look at you, what kind of favor is Baba's fighting with your sister Qian'er, let's meet Sister Xi'er!"
The light blue girl stepped forward and bowed to Fu Li's Luo: "Sister Xi's is fine!" and then turned her eyes to Shangguan Lin Yan, and two small pear vortices appeared at the corners of her mouth: "Uncle Niang said that I laughed, where am I competing with Sister Qian'er for favor! Who doesn't know that Sister Qian'er is the top meat of the ancestor, and even Sister Yi'er has been squeezed down, not to mention me and Sister Xian'er!" As soon as the words came out, Shangguan Linyan's face darkened a lot, and he opened his mouth and swallowed it back, as uncomfortable as eating a fly!
Although Shangguan Lin Yan is said to be the mother-in-law of this Hou Mansion, but the Hou Ye has always favored the lowly Wen family, and he has only given birth to a son and a daughter, but the Wen family fox actually gave birth to two sons and a daughter, but the slut has high means, and he coaxes the old lady to smile every day, and sends the little slut he gave birth to every day, and comes to the old lady's knee to invite pets, so that the old lady is almost forgotten, Yi'er is the granddaughter of the eight classics!
Shangguan Lin Yan raised her beautiful eyes, and glanced at Xuanyuan Qian who was leaning crookedly on the couch with hatred: "Qian'er, don't come to disturb the ancestors all day long, take some time, and follow the upbringing of grandma to be some female celebrities, don't talk about your in-laws in the future, it's not good to make people laugh!"
Fu Liluo held his fingertips and looked at the old lady on the soft couch, and vaguely saw the old lady who was still smiling just now, and tightened her eyebrows at the moment, and Xuanyuan Qian, who was sitting on the felt, had already lost her smile, and was looking at Shangguan Lin Yan with a cold expression.
It turns out that this old lady in addition to the Yongding Marquis is a sister-in-law is biological, there is also a concubine, since it is a concubine and not a biological child, has not inherited the title, naturally it is another mansion, and moved out in the early years, this name is called You'er and Xian'er is the concubine, although the old lady doesn't like the concubine, but he is also kind to the two granddaughters, so he usually takes them to the Hou Mansion.
The silver charcoal in the fire plate in the center of the flower hall, the thunderbolt bala that was burning, the temperature in the room rose sharply in an instant, but everyone was still silent and lowered their eyebrows, and the air was filled with the slightest rippling ** smell.
"What the aunt said is that Sister Qian'er has been working very hard to do embroidery work these days! Today, I saw Sister Qian'er embroidering a pair of plain brocade with mandarin ducks playing in the water. Xuanyuan stepped forward, pulled up Xuanyuan Qian, who was stunned on the felt, and said with a sneer: "Sister Qian'er, say quickly, that Su Jin is ready to honor the old lady?"
Xuanyuan Qian wrung her hands, bit her lip tightly, pulled her wrist, glanced at the old lady with a blue face, and shook her head: "I'm embroidering and playing." ”
Xuanyuan Qian glanced at Shangguan Lin Yan, who was sneering next to her, and couldn't help but pull her neck again, and looked at the old lady: "When Qian'er is acquainted, she will definitely embroider a better one for the old ancestor." ”
Fu Liluo leaned on the soft chair with black blue cloud pattern, picked up the tea cup on the incense table, opened the lid of the cup, took a sip, and quietly crossed the bursts of joy in his eyes, and looked at the people in front of him with their own thoughts silently.
Before she could put down the teacup, the girl called Xuanyuan Immortal shrunk her thin shoulders, pulled the corner of Xuanyuan You's skirt and smiled faintly: "Sister, don't make fun of Sister Qian'er, I don't have to blame Second Prince Lin!"
Everyone was shocked, Fu Liluo's palms were slightly wet, and it turned out to be a teacup with a lot of tea, fortunately the tea was not hot, but Xuanyuan Xian's words still shocked Fu Liluo.
Could it be that this Xuanyuan Qian likes that Lin Er? Fu Liluo quietly put down the teacup, her apricot eyes widened, and she looked at Xuanyuan Qian who was standing in the center of the flower hall, only to see that her face was flushed, and she was fixed there with her waist hooked.
Xuanyuan Xian, who had shrunk her shoulders before, stepped forward violently, and fell to her knees abruptly, her misty black eyes were panicked: "Xian'er lost her words, and please don't blame Sister Qian'er for the old ancestor and uncle..."Xuanyuan Xian pursed her moist lips, her hands trembled in panic, her face was full of guilt, and she reached out to pull Xuanyuan Qian's wrist: "Sister Qian'er, I'm sorry, I didn't think so much for a while, and I blame me for leaking my mouth..." After that, he picked up his bare hand and hit his white little face, and after a while, his white little face was swollen.
Xuanyuan Qian muttered red lips, panicked, glanced at the old lady with a gloomy face, and hurriedly pointed to Xuanyuan Immortal on the ground: "Why did you betray me?" Saying that, he raised his foot fiercely and pushed it into Xuanyuan Immortal's lower abdomen: "You deliberately tested me that day, right? Just to draw out my heart! I treat you like a sister, why do you treat me like this? Xuanyuan Qian's eyes were scarlet, and she hated to kick Xuanyuan Immortal in front of her.
"I see that you are a stuffy gourd-like person on weekdays, how can this hurt me like this?" Xuanyuan Qian said and was about to raise her hand to fan away, but she didn't want to be pushed by Xuanyuan You on the side, Xuanyuan Qian's body swayed, and fell under the mahogany round case behind the screen.
"Do you want to blame others for being shameless yourself?" Xuanyuan You stretched out his fingers, hating to rub Xuanyuan Qian's face, fortunately, the grandmother on the side grabbed her, Xuanyuan You is a powerful person, although she was born to a concubine, but she is a fast talker, and she can't look down on Xuanyuan Qian's usual selling and inviting pets, this time she looks at Xuanyuan Qian, and wants to start with her only sister, where is she willing to follow?
"Ancestor, this Qian'er is so frivolous, she must be the ** of the Wen family's slut, as the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, according to the daughter-in-law's view, the Wen family will also be punished one or two, and she can't let her ruin the reputation of the house!" Shangguan Lin stepped forward and bowed in a hurry, and she couldn't laugh out loud in her heart, she was thinking, how to catch the handle of the Wen family, how to know that today's luck is so good!
"Don't be so anxious, eldest lady! What if I have an intention for Lin Er? Don't pour any dirty water on my mother, I do things by myself, and I haven't done anything insulting!" Xuanyuan Qian glanced at the angry Shangguan Lin Yan, the corners of her lips curved a trace of coldness, ignoring the bruise at the corner of her forehead, crawling and kneeling at the feet of the old lady: "Old lady, it's all to blame for Qian'er not telling you in advance! In fact, Qian'er has loved Lin Er since she was a child..." Xuanyuan Qian cried a little choked, and stretched out her hand to pull the corner of the old lady's clothes hanging on the felt: "Old ancestor, please be merciful and promise me to Lin Er Gongzi!"
Everyone was startled, especially Xuanyuan Immortal, who was lying on the ground, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his watery eyes, and it was fleeting.
She clenched her sleeves and looked at Xuanyuan Qian with her eyebrows: "Sister Qian'er, why are you so ridiculous!, why are you still thinking about that Second Prince Lin?" and raised her eyebrows to look at Fu Liluo: "Everyone in the capital knows that Second Prince Lin and Sister Xi'er have a marriage contract. ”
Fu Li Luo was stunned for a few seconds, his lips bent, he glanced at Xuanyuan Immortal on the ground lightly, and stepped forward with his eyebrows: "Old lady, Xi'er broke off the marriage contract with the second son of Nalin a few months ago, and it was his father who was in charge of the elders of the Lin Mansion, but he was bitter that Xi'er and the second son of Lin had no affection, so he happily gave up!" Fu Li Luo glanced at Xuanyuan Qian, who was kneeling on the felt, and saw that her dim and sinking eyes instantly brightened again, Fu Li Luo smiled and held his hand, and stood up.
The old lady, who had been silent, half-squinted at the narrow eagle eyes, glanced at everyone lightly, and finally landed on Xuanyuan Xian: "I saw that Xian'er was a resting child before, and she was a sensible child, but this son was so speechless!" and glanced at Shangguan Linyan, whose eyes were rippling: "It seems that it is better for this You'er and Xian'er to come to the Hou Mansion less, so as not to cause trouble and play with their tongues." ”
Xuanyuan You paused, gently pulled up Xuanyuan Immortal on the ground, and looked at the old lady sitting high: "Sister Xian'er is straightforward, and I hope that the old lady will forgive her sins!"
She couldn't imagine that the old lady's reaction in the end was like this! Their sisters tried their best to pull Xuanyuan Qian into the water, but they missed their future, and when they thought of the old lady ignoring their marriage in the future, Xuanyuan You only felt that there was a big stone in his heart, and he couldn't breathe in panic.
Also sad and puzzled was Xuanyuan Immortal on the side, that Xuanyuan Qian was so frivolous in private, and a man who was in a mood was so fine! Xuanyuan Immortal couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he thought about it.
"Go back, I'm tired!"
The old lady hurriedly waved his hand to let them out, Shangguan Lin Yan hid the resentment in his eyes, and took Fu Liluo out, a pair of cold eyes shot at Xuanyuan Qian who was lying on the old lady's knee like a knife.
