Chapter 24: Hui Rong
In the early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, there was another heavy snowfall in the capital.
In front of the doors of the houses after the snow, the confetti of red firecrackers is reflected in a bright white snow, which is very festive and beautiful.
After the snow cleared, in front of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion, a dark green Ruyi pattern silk made a tent, the carriage carved with red lacquer slowly stopped, and a team of guards wearing sauce-colored clothes sat upright on horseback, led by a weak crown man with extraordinary bearing, dressed in a blue lotus straight jacket, wearing a dark green embroidered bamboo long cloak, with a light smile, very kind look.
The coachman put a wooden stool under the wheel, and a young girl jumped out of the carriage, wearing an alizarin red and pure face and an indigo Hunan skirt, and was opening the curtain with her white jade fingers.
The young man rolled over from a tall horse outside the carriage and landed on the ground, stretched out his hand in front of the carriage to help the young woman who had gotten out of the carriage, and the smile on his face was even heavier.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, the woman pulled the woman's hair ornament, wore a Dongzhu head, wore a long pipa sleeve jacket with dark green gold thread folded branch floral pattern makeup and satin, a smoke-blue dark jacquard Hunan pattern skirt, and a red embroidered orchid cloak, gentle and elegant, and had a gentle bearing.
The little girl in Jiamutang ran away quickly, and entered the house with a smile on her face: "Auntie, grandma, aunt have arrived at the door!" Then she got a bag of silver beans in a rising lotus package, and retreated with a smile.
The person who came was Huirong, the eldest daughter of Cheng'an Hou, who had been married for more than half a year, and her husband Chen Jun, the youngest son of Uncle Jingzhong, Xingsan.
In just a quarter of an hour, a few people entered Jiamutang lively, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Qin, Shizi and two young masters, and several girls, and the maids and women who accompanied and served, either sitting or standing, full of people.
As soon as Hui Rong entered the door, she walked with her husband and gave a big gift. Wang scrutinized her appearance.
I haven't seen him for a few months, but the person is a lot ruddy, and the original goose egg face is also fatter than before, the tips of the eyes are happy, the corners of the mouth are raised, and the lips are red and bright. The clothing is obviously the gold thread makeup satin that is now admired in Kyoto, and the embroidered shoes are also decorated with round pearls.
She couldn't help nodding, it seems that Hui Rong married and lived well.
After the ladies greeted each other, they went to the flower hall to chat, Qin Yuan, the second son Qin Ze and the third son Qin Bo in the second room, welcomed Chen Jun to the front yard to drink tea.
Wang and Zhou smiled and asked Hui Rong to speak, and when they saw that she was satisfied with her words, and her smile was not fake, they were also relieved. The Wang family arranged Liuli: "Go to Congqingyuan to report, my aunt and grandmother are in Jingzhongbo's mansion, and they are living a good life." With Chen Sangongzi Qin Se and Ming, the mother-in-law is also kind and easy to get along with, so she can rest assured. ”
Then he said to Hui Rong: "After resting for a while, accompany me to the hot spring pool for a spin." ”
The hot spring pool is only a quarter of an hour away from the Congqing Courtyard where Aunt Liu lives, there are three rooms next to it, named Heyin Pavilion, the dragon is burned every day in winter, and the ladies and ladies often like to go there to play cards and chess, it is a good place to enjoy the scenery and rest.
Hui Rong knew that her grandmother had arranged for her aunt to see her, so she could rest assured that she was doing well, so she nodded very gratefully and changed the tea for Mrs. Wang with her own hands.
The lunch was also very much in line with her taste in the Hou Mansion in the past.
There are only three girls in the long house, and Hui Rong has grown up beside Mrs. Wang since she was a child, and her affection is extraordinary. Aunt Lin has been raising herself since she gave birth, and the sixth sister Hui Zhi was born late, because Mrs. Wang has always treated her as her own, and she has been as generous and generous as Aunt Liu.
As soon as Aunt Liu entered the harmony hall next to the hot spring pool, she was carefully looking at Hui Rong, and she saw Liuli hurriedly entering the house, bowing her head and whispering a word in Mrs. Wang's ear, Mrs. Wang's face was not good-looking, her heroic eyebrows were raised high, and her eyes glanced at Aunt Liu, which made her a little inexplicably frightened.
"Lin ate the noodle soup served in the kitchen today, and now he has abdominal pain, seeing red, and fainting. Aunt Liu came from Cong Qingyuan just now, do you know what's going on?"
Aunt Liu's face was a little unsightly, and she was very embarrassed to describe it.
Aunt Lin ate the noodle soup and showed signs of miscarriage, but this has nothing to do with her! Madame asked her like this, Hui Rong was still in front of her, didn't she want to suspect her?
"The concubine doesn't know. Although she was very frightened and scared, Aunt Liu still replied calmly, her voice was very calm, "Aunt Lin has been raising the baby in the house, and the concubine and the girl will not go to her house to disturb her." What's more, the noodle soup was sent from the big kitchen, and I heard that the girl Nuo'er in the big kitchen is very good with the jasper girl, so if the lady calls the jasper girl and Nuo'er, it is good to ask clearly. ”
After listening to Aunt Liu's plain answer, Wang's raised eyebrows fell lightly, and his eyes swept to Hui Rong in the room, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "After Hui Rong got married, she had a very good life." You grew up by my side since you were a child, and I don't hide much from you about your own affairs, Aunt Lin is afraid that she will have a miscarriage, but things are far more complicated than you and I think. Linlang, you've also met Huirong, it's time to put your mind at ease. You go to Congqing Courtyard and invite Jasper. ”
Linlang is the name that Aunt Liu used when she was the big girl who served by Wang's side. Wang has always liked jade characters as side words, and now the three big girls around him are exquisite, pearls, and glass.
Then he held his forehead as if he was tired, and said to Hui Rong with half-blind eyes: "You have also been out for most of the day." ”
Hui Rong heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and gently blessed Aunt Liu, but Aunt Liu turned sideways and did not take it. Hui Rong blessed Mrs. Wang with great dignity, and said: "It's still snowing today, it's not easy to walk on the road late, and it's tiring my mother for a day, how can I let my mother worry about her daughter anymore." ”
After saying that, he told the girl around him to know Chen Jun, and left the Cheng'an Hou Mansion in a hurry after a cup of tea.
The matter of one's own inner courtyard should be investigated, and it should be investigated clearly.
When Wang returned to Jiamutang, Linglong presented a jade plaque carved with a camellia pattern.
Hou Ye and her once set a pair of jade plates, she guarded the eagle eagle, the camellia, in the hands of Hou Ye. Hou Ye is going to sue her, he already knows about the Lin family, tell her not to worry, he believes her.
"If there is any inconvenience and I can't come to see you, I will ask someone to bring this jade plaque to you. You know it, and I believe in you. ”
The Wang family was thinking about these dirty things in the kitchen and Cong Qingyuan, would Hou Ye be worried that she couldn't get used to the Lin family and made people move, and suddenly saw this jade plate, and his heart suddenly ironed.
In this matter, Hou Ye so closely let people know the news of her, probably there is something else to hide.
It's a matter of heirs, so you have to check it carefully.
