Chapter 6: Life in the Six Mansions

On the second day, just after the end of the day, Heluo was called up from bed by Mama Zhou. She let her sleep until she woke up naturally on weekdays, and she had some complaints.

Mama Zhou didn't care, and said to Heluo while preparing the grooming utensils for her: "Miss, you have to get used to it, this disease has been cured a long time ago, but no one has known about it." Morning and evening, you still have to get up early every day to say goodbye, don't you have to get up at this time? If the old lady or lady calls the girl to serve, the girl can get up earlier. ”

When Heluo heard this, at least 10,000 grass and mud horses ran through in his heart, and there was a villain crying in his heart about the evil old society, and he didn't let people live while rolling and crying, how sad he was.

It's just that I didn't dare to miss the time, so I gritted my teeth and woke up and hurriedly freshened up. asked Mama Zhou to comb a double bun, but there was no way, because the original owner was too young to pull other buns. I used some powder, darkened the sallow yellow of my face and neck, and because I was a person who had just recovered from a serious illness, I wore a relatively thicker dress than others, although it was summer, I had to endure it in the end.

Before going out, he adjusted his appearance to a serious illness that had not healed, and he was only dying, and Mama Zhou helped him to walk to the old lady's yard. Originally, if it was to ask for peace, Heluo should have gone to the courtyard of the eldest lady first, and after saying goodbye to the eldest lady, the eldest lady would lead them to greet the old lady. It's just that I'm not in good health today, and the old lady called her, so it's okay to go here first.

Again, Heluo has never seen this eldest lady until now, and he doesn't know what kind of character she is. If you rush to see it yourself, it won't be good if you get caught. So Heluo still decided to go to the old lady today with his frailty, and wait for a good side observation of the eldest lady before making plans.

Since he woke up, Heluo has not been out of the yard. The concubines in the house can no longer live with their biological mothers after the governor, and they have to move out with the maids. Hearing Mama Zhou say that she originally lived with the second girl, but because she contracted the disease after Aunt Ran left, the eldest lady felt unlucky, and was afraid of hindering the second girl, so she moved her out of the yard.

Heluo walked slowly, while admiring the scenery of this house. This Thorn History Mansion is worthy of being the mansion of the first important person in Suzhou, the strange rocks are craggy, the vegetation is abundant, it can really be said that it is a change of scenery, and the scenery that people see in each place is different. Heluo thinks he is a layman, but in the end, he also feels a bit of the artistic conception of "winding paths lead to secluded places".

It's just that I don't know if the people who live here can see some of the scenery here. While thinking about it, I unconsciously walked to the old lady's yard.

Heluo came early, there were no other people, and the courtyard was quiet. After letting the people in the courtyard report, Heluo held his breath, and after Mama Zhou walked in quietly, he stood under the porch outside the house and waited.

It was a long time before the door opened. An old grandmother lifted the thin curtain and walked out, blessed Heluo, and could not see any contempt for Heluo on her face.

It's just that Heluo naturally didn't dare to slack off, according to what Mama Zhou said, Lianbu stepped forward and squatted slightly as a salute, and then asked: "Grandmother can use breakfast, Heluo came late, and didn't wait for grandmother to get up, it's really not supposed to be cough cough cough cough." ”

The third girl doesn't have to say this, the old lady naturally knows that the girl is not very good, but today the old lady really has something to say, so she has to bother the girl to go. ”

Seeing this, Heluo hurriedly replied: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." The affairs of the family are important, and Heluo is not in the way. ”

Hearing this, Mama looked at Heluo, but felt that these three girls were not the same as before. Thinking about it, this aunt has been gone for so many days, and the third girl is only taken care of by an old grandmother, and her health is not good, so she should naturally be able to understand the warmth and coldness of writing about people.

The old lady opened the curtain and led Heluo in. Heluo lowered his eyes, showing a cautious look, but he didn't show timidity when he stepped forward, he bowed deeply and said, "Heluo greets grandmother and greets grandmother." When the old lady was exempted, she said: "I also asked my grandmother to atone for my sins, I couldn't say goodbye to my grandmother a few days ago, but Heluo was thinking about my grandmother every day in my heart." Heluo's tone was a little eager, but it was extremely sincere. Let's not say that I can't come because I'm sick, but I just say that I miss the old lady. The old lady smiled when she heard this, and her voice was soft: "You are not in good health, and it is a last resort if you don't come, your heart, grandmother has received it." ”

Taking advantage of the time to speak, Heluo raised his head and looked at the old lady. I saw an old woman sitting on the top of the hall wearing a forehead with Fushou lines on her head, and a dark red vest with auspicious clouds and dark patterns.

Mrs. Pei asked Mama Hu, who had brought Heluo in, to show Heluo a seat, and then stopped talking, just drinking tea slowly. Seeing this, Heluo also took a sip of the teacup, complaining in his heart that it was better not to drink it like this. After that, he looked at his nose and nose and his heart, and stopped making a sound.

But for a while, I could only hear a voice coming in from outside. knew that the eldest lady had arrived with her two sisters, so she hurriedly stood up and stood next to the chair.

When a woman in her early forties came in with a slightly fat face, but she was extremely well maintained, she hurriedly leaned forward and said, "Heluo has seen my mother, please say hello to my mother." He blessed the two girls who followed behind: "I've seen the eldest sister and the second sister." "Wait until the two girls and Heluo return the salute before re-seating.

First, the woman came up to the old lady and said, "My daughter-in-law has seen her mother, please say hello to her." After the ceremony, he owed a debt and let go, and the two girls in the back stepped forward to greet him in turn: "Heyu, Heying has seen her grandmother, please say hello to her grandmother." ”

From the name alone, it can be seen that the Pei Mansion attaches great importance to the concubine, only the concubine is jade, and the concubine is just a decorative jewel.

In the past, I saw a novel written about the murder of a concubine and a wife, but now in Heluo's opinion, it is almost impossible. In this big family, face is the most important, and the wives who are marrying Ming Media must strictly teach the way to run a family, how can they be suppressed by a concubine.

Heluo sat quietly on the chair and looked at the two sisters who were related to him. The eldest sister, Pei Heyu, is a typical classical beauty, and everyone is beautiful. I saw that she was wearing a pink lotus root skirt, covered with a light gauze, goose egg face, willow eyebrows, almond eyes, and between the flow of her eyes, she had a charm, but she did not lose her identity as a lady. And the girl in the light blue dress in the back is much worse, her appearance can only be said to be delicate, and her face is a little restless, and she doesn't look good. It's even worse than my own body.

Because of Heluo's low status and young age, no one wanted to speak with her, and she thought she couldn't interject, just sat on the chair carefully and listened.

After everyone sat down, the old lady spoke first: "I won't talk about anything else when I called you today, just talk about Sister Yu'er entering the palace." This year's draft is not far away, in case of accidents, Sister Yu, you should go on the road in advance, and live at your second uncle's house after arriving in the capital. What to use and what to eat when the time comes. If your mother doesn't have it, ask your wife for it, I still have some consideration here. The words are full of preference and favor for this concubine.

Before Heyu could speak, the eldest lady received: "Hey, her grandmother, you love her more than me, as a mother, but I'm afraid that I will treat her badly." Some of the summer dresses that Sister Yu made this year have not been worn. You can rest assured that your daughter-in-law will take care of these things. Wait and hear the good news. The tone was full of jokes, and he didn't take the other two daughters into account at all.

Old Madam Pei was happy to hear this, but said: "Sister Yu, I have seen it since I was a child, not boasting, but this appearance and behavior are counted. It's just that people often say that sisters are even branches, if something happened in the house before Sister Yu'er's draft brought Sister Yu'er's reputation badly, the family rules of Pei's Mansion were not for decoration. ”

Naturally, this was said to Heluo and Heying, and the bluffed two stood up and didn't even dare to say anything.

When the old lady saw it, she looked at the second girl for a while before she said, "If your eldest sister enters the palace, she will be a member of the heavenly family." It is also beneficial to marry you in the future, and people have a little more confidence in the end. "Old lady, this is a typical beating, and then give a red date.

Hearing this, Heluo thought that the tea party was about to end. Who knew that the eldest lady suddenly said: "What my mother said is that now in the family, it is naturally Yu'er's draft that is the most important." Originally, if this Heluo girl was normal, she would not be seriously ill. But in this scorching summer, it is easy to be contaminated, and Yu'er is weak, if there is a daughter-in-law, it is just worrying. The eldest lady hesitated when she said this.

He Luo looked at it, this eldest lady was afraid that she hated Aunt Ran, and now she was torn her face and didn't want to let herself go anymore, which forced the old lady to express her stance and send her away.

The old lady looked at the eldest lady, and sighed in her heart This eldest lady's eyelids are shallow, and a helpless concubine will also try her best to suppress it, but after thinking about Heyu, she still opened her mouth: "What you said also makes sense, but if it is sent to Zhuangzi, it will hinder Sister Luo's reputation in the future." Just send it to Qingtan Temple, and say to the outside world that it is to pray for Sister Yu'er and you. After a pause, he continued: "Now Da Lang is busy with the transfer to the capital, and he is busy. This house is all fed by you in the host, don't worry him because of the mansion again. "This is the old lady knocking on the big lady's non-renewable right and wrong.

The eldest lady was overjoyed to hear the old lady's consent, although it was sent to the Buddhist temple. But this girl doesn't say it outside, a girl's most important years are outside the house, and her life is ruined. Aunt Ran's slut has earned a lifetime of favor with herself, and in the end, her daughter fell into her own hands, isn't it her own fish.

Thinking of this, the smile on the eldest lady's face brightened a little more. Turning his head and saying to Heluo with a pleasant face: "Sister Luo, you have also seen the situation in this mansion, your eldest sister must not have the slightest mistake at the moment, so I have to wronged you to go out and raise it first, and when your eldest sister leaves, your mother will take you back." ”

When He Luo heard this, he sneered in his heart. If you want to be still alive and don't know what to be sad about, and your mother has just died, you have to move a helpless little girl out of the house, and there is no one in the house to help you speak. Take yourself back, to put it nicely, as soon as you go out, who will remember to take you back. But this is also in line with her heart, she was still thinking about how to avoid this eldest lady, but she gave herself a reason, and it was more convenient to go outside to collect materials and the like.

Heluo is also very tired of this family in his heart, and after investigating the matter of Aunt Ran in the future, he will repay the original owner's life, and he will no longer have anything to do with the rest of him. She doesn't have any sense of honor in the mansion, and they don't want to use this to restrain her when the time comes.

So he stood up, made a grievance but had to agree, and replied with tears in his eyes: "Heluo is all on my mother's orders, and when I go back later, I will let Mama Zhou pack up my things, and I can leave my mother when I arrange it." ”

The eldest lady nodded with a satisfied look on her face. When Mrs. Pei saw this, she felt that Heluo was also sensible, and she also felt a little pity for this concubine, and instructed the grandmother around her to send some supplies to Heluo later.
