Chapter 65: Chinese New Year's Eve to relatives and friends to say righteous daughters, friends and foes distinguish between scarlet and tricks
Time flies, two days in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Every time this festival, the big and small families in Beijing, regardless of the high and low, are the lights and colorful knots, beaming, the children wear new clothes, the heart of the bottom of the heart for a while to ask for the New Year's money, go to the street to buy candy to eat, the adults are several times wider than usual, prepare Tu Su wine, paste the couplet, change the peach charm, look at the children who are laughing and playing, welcome the New Year.
Thousands of households, a joy and peace, but there are exceptions, for example, a certain 'delicate flower' in the Enlightened Pavilion of the Marquis of Wenchang Mansion is awkward early in the morning.
Su Yunjiao was lying on the extremely comfortable carved step bed, barely opened half of her eyes, looked around in a daze, closed it again in an instant, turned sideways into the bed, wrapped the quilt tightly, and said vaguely: "Well, it's still early...... Let me sleep a little longer. ”
The further back you go, the quieter it becomes, and it's almost inaudible.
Pearl Huizhu, who was waiting at the head of the bed, exchanged a look, shook her head helplessly, it is not a big deal to be a girl on weekdays to rely on a bed, but this is Chinese New Year's Eve, you have to get up early to worship the ancestors, the girl must not be late and absent. Mingzhu leaned over, pushed Su Yunjiao's shoulder, and whispered softly in her ear: "Girl, girl, it's time to get up, I have to worship my ancestors today, it's not too late." ”
"Uh-huh. Su Yunjiao snorted twice, her eyelids seemed to be glued together, no matter what, she couldn't open them, her body was even softer, she was not energetic, she struggled to move twice, but she was wrapped in the quilt and shrunk tighter.
It is said that after Su Yunjiao returned to Beijing, she went to Shousongtang on time every day to greet the old lady, and she had already changed the problem of the lazy bed to seventy-seven eighty-eight, and now how did she commit it again? I don't blame her, she was really tired for two days, from morning to night, from opening her eyes to closing her eyes, and even in her dreams, she was learning the etiquette of entering the palace, and she couldn't stop for a moment.
Mingzhu had no choice, looked back at Huizhu, and motioned for her to think of a way to get Su Yunjiao up. Before Huizhu could move, Pingxiang stepped forward, touched Huizhu's arm, handed a hot wet handkerchief, and mouthed Nunu on the bed. Huizhu took it knowingly, bent down, and wiped Su Yunjiao's face with a handkerchief to help her wake up.
Seeing this, Mingzhu glanced at Pingxiang, frowned, and didn't say anything.
After a long toss, Su Yunjiao finally woke up slowly, although she still looked distracted, but she was willing to cooperate with Mingzhu and the others' movements. Dressed neatly and washed up, Su Yunjiao was really awake when she was pushed out of the door by Mingzhu's roar.
In front of the main room, all the maids and women in the enlightened hall lined up in turn, and as soon as they saw Su Yunjiao coming out, they all gave her New Year's greetings. Su Yunjiao looked at the front of her, due to the previous kitchen turmoil and the next few actions, nearly half of the maids were missing, and said with a smile on her face: "Reward!" But she thought in her heart that it was time to make up a few maids in the future.
Behind him, Mingzhu took out the prepared reward money and distributed it to everyone with Aunt Qing, and everyone smiled when they got the reward. Su Yunjiao didn't care about them anymore, but tightened her cloak, took the hand stove, and led the embroidered pearls and Huizhu to Shousong Hall.
Before entering the door, I heard the laughter in Shousong Hall, and the maid Pearl who was guarding the door saw her coming, and hurriedly smiled and opened the curtain for her, and shouted inside: "The seventh girl is here!" turned his face and grinned at Su Yunjiao again, "Seventh girl, happy New Year!"
Su Yunjiao was lazy and reluctant to speak, gave her a smile, and went inside. Huizhu, who followed behind, took out a small purse with exquisite workmanship from her sleeve, stuffed it into her hand, and said, "The seventh girl will reward you." With that, Fang and Xiuzhu followed up with the house.
"Thank you Seventh Girl!" Pearl thanked with a smile, and when she saw that they were all in, she couldn't wait to open her purse and pour out two 'Ruyi auspicious' golden hammers, and suddenly her eyebrows bent, and she said in her heart: "It's still the Seventh Girl's generous shot." ”
"Yun Jiao said hello to the old lady. Su Yunjiao saluted in a proper manner, and swept everyone in the hall by the way, the fifth uncle's family had not yet arrived, but fortunately she was not the latest to come.
When Su Yunjiao came, the old lady was talking and laughing with Su Yunwan beside her, and she was on the rise at the moment, thinking that it was the New Year, not only did she not give a cold face to Su Yunjiao, who came a little late, but gave a smiling face and said, "Play with your brothers and sisters, don't be restrained." At the end, he added, "Ming'er, it can't be too late." ”
"Huh. Su Yunjiao answered, and went to the side to talk to the brothers and sisters.
"Why did you come?" Su Yunyou, a little wrongdoer, must sneer when he sees Su Yunjiao, "I must have committed laziness, and I refused to get up." ”
Everyone chuckled kindly, but Su Yunjiao was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Say whatever you want." ”
Su Yunyou saw that his offensive was like hitting a ball of cotton, without any effect, he was not convinced, his little brain turned, and he said: "What, how is your temporary Buddha's foot? ”
Su Yunjiao didn't mean to talk to her at all, turned around and saluted Su Yunhua, and said solemnly: "Thank you big sister this time." ”
"Thank you, it's all due. Su Yunhua shook his head and smiled, "What did I teach Mama Xi, but the seventh sister has written it down?" ”
Su Yunjiao was excited, her head shook like a rattle, and she said in a loud voice: "Write it down, write it down, write it down." Speaking, he stepped forward and pulled Su Yunhua's arm and said, "Good sister, today's Chinese New Year's Eve, let the sister relax quickly, don't mention those things, I promise, Ming'er will not go wrong when she enters the palace to congratulate." ”
Su Yunhua covered his sleeves and smiled, and said, "I'm just joking, you're really in a hurry." ”
In another place, Su Mu, who was playing against Su Xun, listened to the laughter over there, looked at the person in front of him who was smiling lightly, and asked: "The rules in the palace are strict, and there are many people who congratulate tomorrow, all of them are high-ranking officials and nobles, and the temperament of the seventh sister, aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about?" The voice of ice and snow was not Su Xun, but Su Yunwu who was watching chess, "Seventh Sister is not a child, when she plays tricks and when she is restrained, she can tell the difference." ”
Su Mu turned his head in surprise, looked at her with wide eyes, and said, "Second sister vs. seventh sister, how can you ......?"
"Doesn't the eldest brother understand?" Even if it was a close relative, Su Yunwu still had no extra emotions, and said lightly, "Even if the eldest sister and I have a mistake, the seventh sister will not make a mistake." Our Hou Mansion can't protect it, can't the Zhenbei Hou Mansion protect it?" What's more, the Queen Mother's will came suddenly, and there must be something strange in it.
Su Yunwu glanced at the person who had been smiling lightly, she knew something that others didn't know because of her teacher, so she dared to conclude that in addition to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the seventh sister must be protected by others, or rather, there is someone behind the third uncle and mother.
"This ......" Su Mu felt that he was despised by his sister again, and wanted to speak again, but he heard Su Yunwu say: "This game is over, you get out of the way, I will play the next game with him." ”
When Su Mu heard this, he looked down at the black and white, orderly chess game in chaos, and it was a draw, and he couldn't help but sigh: "When can I win a game?"
Su Yunwu said coldly: "Big brother, it's better to study how to lose chess first." "Only when you are out of control can you have a chance to win.
Su Mu shook his head and gave up his seat, but Su Xun said: "Second sister is not in a hurry, the time to worship the ancestors is approaching, you and I may as well send this game of chess first." ”
Su Yunwu was stunned, smiled at Su Xun, and said, "Yes." ”
While talking, there was a sudden silence in the house, and the three of them looked back, it turned out that the fifth uncle's family had arrived, and then they looked back, and they knew why the house was quiet.
Su Mu was the first to sigh with emotion: "Bring it at this time, Fifth Uncle, I really love this daughter." ”
"It's a 'righteous girl'. Su Yunwu corrected, "How does the eldest brother view this girl?"
Su Mu pondered for a moment, and said: "Scheming is deep and can be a man." ”
Su Yunwu said coldly: "If you know how to be a person, you won't follow today, if you are scheming, how can you see it?"
Even if Su Mu was often attacked by Su Yunwu, he couldn't wipe off his face at the moment, coughed lightly, and said slightly annoyed: "Don't always underestimate your brother!"
Su Yunwu tilted her head sideways and said nothing, Su Xun's gaze wandered between the two of them, and said, "I think the meaning of the eldest brother is that this woman thinks she is scheming and thinks she can be a person. ”
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Su Mu nodded.
"What about you?" asked Su Yunwu.
Su Xun smiled: "This woman is a 'strange person'. ”
Su Yunwu listened and raised her eyebrows coldly.
The three brothers and sisters here were talking harmoniously, and Su Yunjiao was also chattering with the sisters there.
"Fifth Uncle, what is the intention of this?" Su Yunrou's eyes stopped at Su Qianfei, and she said in surprise, could it be that she wanted to take that girl to worship her ancestors? The old lady could agree?
Su Yunjiao frowned, wondering in her heart, the fifth uncle didn't bring her here in her previous life, what's wrong now? Was it a whim of the fifth uncle, or was it deliberately arranged by Su Koujiao? The more Su Yunjiao thought about it, the more she felt that it was wrong, according to her understanding of Su Koujiao, it was impossible for her not to know that it was not beneficial for her to come with her at this time.
"Look at what she wears on her head, I heard that the ninth sister is very angry about it. The third sister Su Yunxi came over and said in a low voice, "Later, I don't know where the fifth uncle knew, not only did he not comfort him, but he also reprimanded the ninth sister, saying that the ninth sister was small and jealous, and forced the ninth sister to apologize to her." ”
When Su Yunhua, Su Yunrou and Su Yunjiao heard this, their minds changed, they were small and jealous? This refers to Sang scolding Huai, no wonder the fifth uncle and aunt made trouble again a few days ago.
"Isn't it just a pair of pearl heads? What's the big deal, I got the same pair last time, and I'll send it to my ninth sister another day, so that she can't be angry about this little thing, and she is angry with herself, and it's not worth it." Su Yunjiao said disdainfully, she never wore the same jewelry as others, not to mention that person was still Su Koscar, so she simply took it and gave it to Su Yunxiu.
"I can't see it, you're quite generous. Even Su Yunyou could see that the pearl head was worth a lot.
Su Yunjiao glanced at her and said, "Eighth sister, I'm not generous, you should know best." "After being reborn, whenever there is something good, when will she be missing.
"Hmph!" Su Yunyou snorted lightly, changed the conversation, and asked, "Doesn't that sister feel embarrassed when she comes with me at this time?"
"In my opinion, people don't necessarily want to come. Su Yunxi didn't know what he meant by this.
But she was told to be right, Su Koshuang really didn't want to come.
Su Chuang, who was following behind Su Jinshuang, was very helpless, she wanted to stay in the Piaoxu Pavilion and pretend to be pitiful, Bo sympathized, and didn't want her to show a trace of compromise, Su Jinshuang suddenly offered to take her for the New Year. She hurriedly refused, but Su Jinshuang had a tough attitude and had to bring her. Su Jinshuang is her only backer in the Hou Mansion, and she must not afford to lose, but Su Scarlet had no choice but to follow him and follow him.
How the juniors in the hall muttered and guessed was just talking, and how to deal with it depended on what the elders meant.
The Jin family, who had been talking lively, had already stopped, sat quietly with Su Jinchuan, and easily stopped talking. The matter of the branches, which is their turn to comment.
Su Jinzhu, who has always been polite over there, wanted to speak, but let the Liu family on the side stop him alive and dead, the old lady's face was ugly like that, and the old man intervened at will, wouldn't it be to block the old lady and rush to find guilt.
"Fifth brother, what do you mean?" The first person to speak was the eldest master, the current Marquis of Wenchang, Su Jinsong.
Su Jinshuang has been a little afraid of her two sisters-in-law since she was a child, and when she heard her eldest brother Su Jinsong ask, she couldn't help shrinking her head, and said: "After all, Kou Fei is my daughter, cough cough, righteous daughter, it's not good to let her stay alone in the Drifting Pavilion." ”
Su Jinsong looked at Su Cosis, and two cold rays shot at his body like a sharp sword, Su Cexlet was looked at hairy, but in order to show his extraordinary, he fixed his mind, and was neither humble nor silent. Su Jinsong retracted his gaze and said secretly: "This woman is not a good person. Then, when he wanted to speak again, Wang secretly pinched the back of his hand and motioned him to look at the old lady.
The old lady's face was gloomy, her breathing was a little short, and Su Yunwan beside her patted her back with a worried face, and persuaded in a low voice: "Old lady, moving your anger hurts your body! What's more, this big New Year's momentum is unlucky." ”
The old lady wanted to have a seizure, but when she heard Su Yunwan's words and thought about the New Year, she finally pressed her anger down, and she didn't have a seizure, but she still had a calm face and asked Su Yunwan: "What does Wan'er think to deal with?"
"This ......" Su Yunwan was embarrassed, looked at Su Kosan who was standing below, bit her lip, and said, "If Wan'er says it, the old lady can't be angry." ”
The old lady's mood finally eased a little, and looked at Su Yunwan, who had an embarrassed face, after all, she was her most painful granddaughter, her heart softened, and she said in a relaxed tone: "Wan'er just say, grandmother is not angry." ”
"Sister Scarlet is the fifth uncle and daughter, and she can't be allowed to go to worship her ancestors. Saying that, Su Yunwan glanced at Su Qianfei apologetically, and said to the old lady, "But what the fifth uncle said is also reasonable, if you leave Sister Koufei alone, it really seems that our Hou Mansion does not understand etiquette, so according to Wan'er, it is better for us to go to worship our ancestors first, and then invite Sister Koufei to have a New Year's dinner with us when we come back." ”
The old lady thought about it, looked at Su Jinshuang's pitiful appearance, and said for a long time: "Just Yiwan'er!" After speaking, she didn't stop for long, stood up, Su Yunwan hurriedly helped, and only heard the old lady say: "Everyone follow me to the ancestral hall, she ...... Stay in Shousong Hall, Liqiu, serve well, don't slack off!"
She naturally refers to Su Chuangfei.
"Old lady, go with confidence. Liqiu responded.
The old lady led everyone out, and when she passed Su Koshou, she glanced at her coldly, Su Koshuang quickly got out of the way, but Su Yunwan, who was holding the old lady, smiled at her.
Su Koshuang saw that she had just spoken for herself, and she was treating her like this at the moment, her heart warmed, and she threw a grateful look at her, she deserved to be a gentle and kind fifth girl, in order to repay, she would definitely not let that Su Yunjiao disturb Su Yunwan's good marriage in this life.
Su Yunwan and Bai Guanzhi, talented and beautiful, what a good pair. As for the future emperor, it will belong to her!
When Su Yunwan saw it, she sneered in her heart: "I'm hooked." But his face was not obvious, but he chuckled and nodded to her, and went out with the old lady.
Later, Su Yunjiao looked at Su Kou's grateful look, and scolded secretly, stupid!
