Chapter 007: Guest
Chunhui Hall is on the central axis of the Hou Mansion, and it takes at least two quarters of an hour to live idly from the hearing on the West Road. When they arrived, only the big room had not yet arrived, and the second and fourth rooms had already arrived for a while, and they were gossiping with Mrs. Hou's Yang.
Yang is about to celebrate his fiftieth birthday, but he does not look much younger than his actual age because of his good maintenance like other noblewomen, but looks slightly old. She sat there with a dignified posture, a stern face, and a deep nasolabial folds with a sense of awe.
Since she let go of the feeding, she has changed the original rules, not asking the juniors to go to greet every day, only every five or ten days, and not asking the daughters-in-law to set up rules to serve, and asking everyone to eat before going.
Although the lady asked for this, the sons and daughters-in-law did not dare to slack off, and still went to the province in the morning and evening, and finally made a compromise and set the rule of saying hello every night and eating together on the tenth day.
Yang speaks relatively little, and most of the time he listens to others.
Among them, especially the second * milk * milk Ma is the most energetic, a joke for a while, or it is a rumor and anecdote about this and that family in the capital, which is originally a very small thing, through her mouth, it can also be said to be particularly intriguing. And he also talked to himself, covering his mouth and laughing from time to time, and the long peach-colored brocade placket glittered against the ruby pendant that dangled incessantly on his ears. Because she still has to sell a pass from time to time, she was so anxious that the third girl Ming Ke and the tenth girl Ming Yao stomped their feet and asked questions again and again.
After a while, Mrs. Wen of the prince came in a hurry with Mingjin and Mingrui.
For a while, the salute of the ceremony, the undressing of the undress, the serving of tea, a group of big and small masters plus a bunch of girls and mothers-in-law, a room of warblers and swallows, so lively!
Everyone sat down, and Yang swept around and looked at the eldest grandmother: "Sister Yue is sick again?"
Wen hurriedly got up and replied: "Yes, it's okay to get up early, and I said that I had to go to see plum blossoms in the next morning, and I had a little fever when I came back, and I just took medicine and fell asleep, please forgive me!"
Yang Shi said again: "If you are sick, you should have a good rest, not to mention her body, what can I forgive! I still have some medicinal materials here, you can take them when you go back, and let the girls take care of them!"
Wen wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and whispered.
Hearing that the eighth sister was sick again, Zhou Mingshan also sighed a little in her heart, Zhou Mingyue is the youngest daughter of her eldest aunt, she has been weak since she was a child, and she will be sick at the end of three days. She is also very quiet, has a good temperament and elegance, and holds those poetry books all day long. If it weren't for the girls' urging, they would have forgotten the meal. When it's good, I asked her to come out and move, and two of the three times I quit.
I was thinking about finding a time to see her tomorrow, when I heard my grandmother call her, and her face was rare kindness.
"Sister Shan, you did a good job today!"
As soon as Yang's voice fell, the eyes of everyone in the room were all gathered on Zhou Mingshan's face like a searchlight, among which there were envy, envy, and meaning, and only Yuan's face was a look of honor, pride and satisfaction.
Zhou Mingshan sighed secretly, it seems that these people have all gotten the news.
It's been less than an hour since they've returned, and this is the man who lives in the mansion!
It can be seen how stupid and naïve she lived in her previous life!
Zhou Mingshan got up and said calmly: "Grandmother has won the award, and she just remembered it, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to catch up with such a coincidence! What's more, I have to ask my grandmother to forgive my granddaughter for her reckless crime!"
Yang smiled and said: "What are you reckless, you should move!" After a pause, he said, "Sure enough, the eighteenth change of the female university, Shi Bei should be impressed in three days! This is less than a day, listen to what Sister Shan said!"
This is talking about her abnormality, Zhou Mingshan's heart moved, although her grandmother is a stepfamily, no one in the house dares to treat her slowly, if she crosses the bright road here with her grandmother today, even if anyone feels that something is wrong in the future, he will not dare to be a moth!
Thinking of this, she was even more cautious, and smiled slowly: "It's still grandmother who has eyesight, and granddaughter just thought that she should be more stable in the future, so that you and your father and mother can worry less, and grandmother will see it!
Yang smiled faintly, noncommittal.
The eyeballs in Ma's triangular eyes next to her rolled, and she didn't believe that the Yuan family would have such a prominent relative! If it was really a close relative, maybe it would be more conspicuous! But she had been married for more than ten years, and she had never mentioned it! Most of the time, it was because the Duchess of Xianguo was not easy to refuse, so she asked her sister-in-law to ask for peace!
And this Sister Shan, when did she become able to heal diseases, and she was so eloquent?
She coughed lightly, shook the handkerchief to cover the corners of her mouth, and said, "Oh, Sister Shan is still filial, unlike those of us who can't get on the stage, and we don't have such good relatives!" After speaking, she glanced at the Yuan family intentionally or unintentionally.
Yuan's face instantly turned red, and he stood up crampedly, tugging at the corner of his clothes, and replied in a whisper, "Mother, second sister-in-law, I'm not...... I just didn't remember it before......"
Ma's unwilling voice instantly provoked Zhou Mingshan's anger!
This is a naked provocation, obviously praising her, but in fact it is stepping on her and her mother! Without Yuan's where did she come from Zhou Mingshan, but also alluded to Yuan's unfilial piety and provoked their mother-daughter relationship, this is simply too poignant!
Although Ma's appearance is mediocre, he relies on his clever speech, and because the second uncle is a concubine, he usually likes to pinch the tip to be strong, and he can't see others good, and persimmon loves to pick soft pinching, because Yuan doesn't like to worry about her, which fuels her arrogance!
New hatred and old hatred made Zhou Mingshan almost unable to suppress the surging anger in his chest!
It's this Ma family, in her previous life, after she was deceived and ruined, she actually wanted to lock her up in the family temple, and later thanks to the eldest aunt and mother who went to beg the Hou Ye together, she didn't let her fail!
Zhou Mingshan's fists under his sleeves were clenched tightly, with a smile on his face, and said, "Second aunt is so humble, who doesn't know that Master Ma is notoriously capable!"
Ma's father, when he married his daughter, he was a member of the Ministry of Labor, and now he is still a foreigner, and he hasn't moved a single step, and he has almost become a joke in the capital!
"You ......"
was poked in the death hole, Ma's willow eyebrows were upside down, and he was about to have a seizure, glanced at Mrs. Tai, and swallowed back. I was so angry that my face turned red, and the green tendons on my forehead jumped and jumped.
Zhou Mingshan ignored her, pulled Yuan to sit down, and comforted her softly with her arm.
Seeing this, Yang waved his hand and let everyone disperse.
When there was no one in the house, Yang sighed: "None of them are worrying!"
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in a pink and purple gown came out of the inner room with a smile and said, "They are no longer children, can my aunt still worry about them for the rest of her life?"
"That's what you said!" Yang patted the back of her hand gently, "How is it, it's better!"
The girl replied: "It's much better, and it's fine, it's just that it's not adaptable, auntie, don't worry!"
Yang smiled: "That's good! Otherwise, in two days, there will be girls of the same age who will not be able to meet!"
The girl also smiled and said, "My aunt is still thinking about me! I don't know what my aunt likes, there are still a few days to go, why don't Hui'er embroider your forehead for you!"
Yang's face was happy at first, and then frowned: "How can this work, you just came, your body is not yet well, it is good to get along with a few girls when you have time!"
The girl named "Hui'er" was full of smiles, grabbed Yang's arm, and said coquettishly: "Auntie, it doesn't take much trouble, it's so decided!
Seeing her like this, Yang Shi did not object anymore, and sighed: "I don't know if it takes a lot of trouble? What is rare is your heart! There are so many girls in the house, and there is no one who is good at needlework!"
The girl named "Hui'er" pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer, but hugged Yang tighter.
The two chattered and gossiped, and when they saw that the girl was tired, Yang sent someone to send her to rest.
Yang personally went to see Brother Jue in the warm pavilion, and when he saw that he slept soundly, he came back with confidence and rested under the service of the maid and the mother-in-law!
