Chapter 12: Auntie
Aunt Guan was still sad, and Mama Hu was thinking about whether she should find a reason to mention her cousin Wu Shaoying. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Today, she replaced Zhang's mother and accompanied Mr. Qin and Qin Han's true ancestor to the Guan family, just under the order of the Niu family, to probe Wu Shaoying's tone. As soon as she saw the word "Ying" engraved on the golden hairpin yesterday, she immediately thought of this cousin. Wu Shaoying is Guan's two aunts and cousins, her parents died when she was a child, and she was taken over by her aunt Mrs. Guan to support her, and Guan's is a childhood sweetheart. Except for him, there is no other person with the word "Ying" in his name.
It's just that...... Since Guan married into the Qin family, she has always been very well-behaved, even if her husband Qin Ping has been stationed in the border city for many years and rarely goes home, she has never complained. As a daughter-in-law, she is beyond reproach. Just based on the inscription on a hairpin, I suspect that she has some entanglement with her maternal cousin, which is too hasty.
What's more, not long after Wu Shaoying married into the Qin family, he went to Xi'an Mansion to study, and after being promoted in the examination, he was directly recommended to the capital Guozijian, and he did not return to his hometown for many years. Niu knows this in his heart.
She asked Mama Tiger to run this trip, just to seek peace of mind. As long as it is determined that this matter is false, that Cui'er secretly hid the golden hairpin, and it will have nothing to do with the lettering on the top. Needless to say, she must have been instructed by the He family. If the He family is just fighting between concubines, in order to protect her daughter, she persecuted the eldest sister-in-law and hanged her sister-in-law, although it was excessive, but Niu's mother-in-law would only punish him heavily, and would not do anything else. But if she faked physical evidence and framed her eldest sister-in-law...... That's another story.
The Qin family can't tolerate such a poisonous woman!
Mama Hu came with the order, and carefully led Aunt Guan to speak, so as to inquire about Wu Shaoying's news, and it was best to find out the specific origin of the pair of golden hairpins. Soon she learned that he himself was in the old man's house at the moment. These days, Uncle Guan and his wife have been serving in front of their father's bedside, and almost all of the work of treating people and things and going out to run errands is done by Wu Shaoying. Uncle Guan and his wife are very grateful to him for this.
Mama Hu asked: "Sister Sang seems to be better, I wonder if Old Man Guan has woken up at this time?"
Aunt Guan wiped away her tears and nodded, "I'll take a look." If the old man wakes up, he will hug Sister Sang over and let him take a look at the old man, but I don't know if he still recognizes his granddaughter. These days, the old man is confused. As he spoke, he was about to get up and go out, but a water-red figure stepped into the house in advance: "Sister-in-law, I heard that the in-laws and Sister Sang are here?"
This is Guan's little sister Yun Niang, Qin Hanzhen's aunt.
Guan Yunniang is not married, she is sixteen years old this year, and she looks a little similar to Guan between her eyebrows and eyes. But with the same thin eyebrows and fine eyes, the impression that Guan left on Qin Hanzhen is always a little sad, but Guan Yunniang has a pair of phoenix eyes, hanging eyebrows and thin lips, which gives people a bit of a powerful feeling.
Aunt Guan saw that it was her sister-in-law, paused, and said a little unnaturally: "Yes, the master of the in-laws went to see the old man, and Sister Sang got motion sickness on the road, so she went to my house to lie down." She's not healed yet, she's weak, don't mess with her. ā
Guan Yunniang raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong with me coming to see my niece? Where is it to trouble her? Sister-in-law, don't wronged me." After that, he ignored Uncle Guan, walked straight to the side of the kang, and smiled at Qin Hanzhen: "I heard that you forgot something, but you still recognize Auntie?"
Qin Hanzhen got up and shook his head honestly. Guan Yunniang frowned, stretched out her shallot-like fingers, and poked hard at Qin Hanzhen's head: "Little thing with no conscience, I'm your aunt, how can you forget me?"
Qin Hanzhen was poked in the head by her, and couldn't help but sigh. Mama Hu's face changed, she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Qin Hanzhen, and said to Guan Yunniang: "Girl, let's be lighter, our sister still has a wound on her head, haven't you seen the bandaged strips of cloth?"
Guan Yunniang sneered: "I know that your family is a big family, and your child is the eldest lady, isn't it just a poke?
Aunt Guan saw that she didn't look like her, so she hurriedly stopped: "Yun Niang don't say a few words, this is also what my aunt should say?"
Guan Yunniang glanced at Qin Hanzhen, snorted lightly, got up and walked out: "I am naturally her aunt, but her mother may not think so." It makes people angry when they see it!" he dropped the curtain and left.
Mama Hu was so angry that her face turned blue, and she said to Aunt Guan with a straight face: "What's the matter with the second girl in the house? What time is it now? Why did she talk nonsense in front of our sister?!"
Aunt Guan was also embarrassed, but she still had to play a round for her sister-in-law: "These days, the house is messy, everyone feels uncomfortable, and she is probably dizzy." Mama, don't worry about her. After speaking, he hurriedly called "Zao'er".
A tall, thin teenage girl ran over, with an apron tied around her waist and a fan in her hand. She is the only girl in the Guan family, and she is boiling medicine in the kitchen.
Aunt Guan told Zao'er to go to the main house to see if Old Man Guan had woken up, but she stayed in this room to talk to Mama Hu and comfort Qin Hanzhen. She didn't dare to leave lightly for half a step, lest Guan Yunniang run back and say something that didn't matter, offending her in-laws.
Guan Yunniang is the youngest daughter in the family, several years younger than Uncle Guan and Guan's, and the family has become rich when she was born, so she has always been pampered by her family, and she has never scruples about speaking. She can be willful, but Aunt Guan, as the eldest sister-in-law, wants to keep an eye on her. The Qin family's in-laws are too important to the Guan family. Now that the Guan family is dead, if the Guan family makes a mess, they may lose this in-law at any time.
Although Mama Hu was not very happy, she would not spill her anger on the innocent Aunt Guan, but she felt that Guan Yunniang was not well educated, and there was no rule in speaking and acting, which made people unhappy. In the past, Guan Yunniang also came to the Qin family's mansion with Mrs. Guan and Aunt Guan, at that time, she only felt that this girl was a little too willful, obviously because the family was too spoiled, but nothing else was fine, but I didn't expect to be such a character in private. Mama Hu rubbed the red mark on her forehead for Qin Hanzhen, and secretly wrote down the matter, planning to report to the Niu family when she returned home.
Qin Hanzhen nestled in her arms, secretly surprised in her heart. What did Guan Yunniang mean by that sentence just now?
"I'm naturally her aunt, but her mother doesn't necessarily think so. It makes people angry when they see it!"
Guan Shi may not think much? Who did Guan Yunniang look at and get angry? Why should she be angry?
Zao'er came back soon, Old Man Guan had just woken up, and Old Man Qin was talking to him. Qin Hanzhen passed just right at this time. Mama Hu picked her up and went to the East Warm Pavilion of the main house with Aunt Guan.
The windows and doors in the warm pavilion were closed, but there was a brazier burning in the corner of the house, as soon as Qin Hanzhen entered, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, and the whole room was filled with a not very good smell, which made people panic.
Old Man Guan was lying on the kang, the whole person looked black and thin, his eyes were sunken, his face was blue and gray, and his mind was not very clear.
Uncle Guan hugged Qin Hanzhen from Mama Hu's hand, put her on the side of the kang, and called Old Man Guan softly: "Daddy, open your eyes and see, who is coming?"
Old Man Guan's eyelids trembled, opened a gap, and stared at Qin Hanzhen.
Qin Hanzhen smiled at him obediently and shouted, "Grandpa." ā
Old Man Guan didn't know if he heard it, and raised a hand weakly. Qin Hanzhen didn't know what he meant, so he took his hand. Old Man Guan grabbed her fingers suddenly, his eyes widened, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Good Rong'er, it was Dad who hurt you......"
Qin Hanzhen was stunned, his hand hurt, and his body had already risen into the air.
Uncle Guan quickly carried her away from the kang, and said to Mr. Qin, who was sitting on the side, with a dry smile: "Father doesn't recognize anyone anymore, don't frighten Sister Sang." ā
Old Mr. Qin was a little surprised, but he still smiled kindly: "It's probably because Sister Sang looks too much like her mother, so the in-laws are dazzled and admit that they are wrong." ā
Uncle Guan nodded with a dry smile, and handed his niece to his wife: "Send Sister Sang to A-Niang, this room is stuffy, Sister Sang is weak, don't get sick." Aunt Guan nodded knowingly, hugged Qin Hanzhen out of the main house, and went to the west wing. Mrs. Guan is not very good these days, and she has been living in her youngest daughter's house to recuperate.
Mrs. Guan has thin eyebrows and thin eyes, in addition to her rounder face, she also looks a little similar to the Guan family, and there is kindness between her eyebrows, Qin Hanzhen felt very intimate when she saw it.
When Mrs. Guan saw her granddaughter, she held her in her arms, screamed with her heart, and touched her little face and kept touching: "Poor thing, I have lost weight like this, fortunately, God has mercy, I didn't really take our Sister Sang's life, otherwise it would really take Grandma's life!" Qin Hanzhen smiled and nestled in her arms, letting her touch everywhere.
Guan Yunniang sat cross-legged on the kang top, and when she saw her mother being such a precious eldest sister's daughter, she didn't know why, so she burst into flames and said angrily: "A-Niang, when we went back to the Qin family, Sister Sang was much thinner than now. It's only been a few days, she already has flesh on her face, which shows that Sister Ah didn't take care of it before. ā
Old Mrs. Guan lowered her face and looked at her with a warning gaze: "Don't talk nonsense! Go to the kitchen and take a look, your father's medicine can be boiled." ā
Guan Yunniang sneered, went out of the kang and smashed the curtain again. Mama Tiger watched silently, but she knew by her expression that she was not very happy.
Aunt Guan felt embarrassed and said with a dry smile: "I'll go back and see if there is anything I can do to help Daddy." And he hurried away.
There was silence in the house, and Mrs. Guan smiled and continued to touch Qin Hanzhen's little face: "I heard that you got motion sickness on the way here?" Grandma's kang here is still hot, you sleep for a while, and then wake you up when you eat. ā
Qin Hanzhen hesitated: "Grandma, what should I do with grandpa?"
Mrs. Guan sighed: "What else can I do? As he spoke, he personally undressed Qin Hanzhen and covered the quilt, and Qin Hanzhen had no choice but to lie down obediently. She was really tired, and her head was still a little dizzy.
After doing this, Mrs. Guan nodded to Mama Hu: "I have something I want to discuss with my in-laws, can Mama come with me?" Mama Hu paused, and seeing that Qin Hanzhen had nothing to do here, she followed Mrs. Guan to the next room.
Qin Hanzhen was bored lying on the kang, looked up at the window by the kang, and played with his fingers. Although she was tired, she was not sleepy, and she tossed for a long time, and by this time the sleepiness had passed.
At this moment, a faint voice came from outside the window, as if Guan Yunniang had stopped someone: "Cousin, you stop! Why are you hiding from me? Is it really because the eldest sister is dead?!"
Qin Hanzhen froze for a moment, and climbed over to the window quietly.
