Chapter 4: The Third Sister

Suihua listened to Qianfang's words with a smile, and instructed Qiao'er to prepare the mutton pot in person, rewarded Qianfang with a box of fruits, and asked Qianfang to thank her for the books, jewelry and clothes sent by Huizhi last time. Xifang thanked the reward and came back to his life.

Sui Hua sat on the kang by the window, while giving a crane chasing the clouds of the purse, while thinking that because of the words of the fourth girl, the aunt came to persuade herself to enter the palace, "The girl is now in time, although the second lady has come forward to see your husband for you, but you have to understand, although you live in the Hou Mansion and are the girls of the Hou Mansion, but the second room does not accept the title, and the second master only receives an idle job as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, where will there be a good husband for you to choose?" ”

She helped herself with a beaded flower, and looked at her delicate face in the mirror, "The emperor has not yet reached the age of not being confused, he loves the people like a son, but there are not many harems and heirs, it can be seen that he is a very affectionate person - you have to think about other people's concubines who go out to fill the house, which is not the age of an old man in his forties and fifties?" The third girl has a good color, and she has always been raised by the second lady's side, knowledgeable, well-behaved and sensible. You also know the temperament of the fourth girl, Mrs. Tai will definitely not let her enter the palace, I will ask the eldest lady and the second lady to choose you to enter the palace, right? First, after calming down this turmoil, the words were released to say that it was the queen mother's meaning, and it was inappropriate for no one to enter the palace after all; Second, if you enter the palace in the future and receive the title, your father can also have a higher official position, the entire second room will rise, and the future of your fourth brother will also be bright; Third, the eldest lady and the second lady will think of your goodness, and the whole Hou Mansion will support you in the back, and it will not be difficult for you to live in the palace. Aunt is also for your good, do you think about it in your heart, are you willing? ”

Aunt Zhao gave birth to her and the fourth brother, the fourth brother is only ten years old, although she went to school with the brothers in the family, but after all, she is the only concubine in the Hou Mansion, and her identity is more embarrassing than her.

The embarrassing identity of the second-room maid, the ladies and ladies at the banquet did not look at her seriously, the husband who looked at her by her mother-in-law was either a branch of a big family, or a talented but not wealthy showman, there was really no rush on such a day, Aunt Zhao's words She thought about it all night, thinking about the fourth brother Ning Ge'er round and bright eyes, and smiled heartily when feeding him snacks, she bit her lip and agreed to be elected to the palace.

Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Zhou, her mother-in-law, were all very happy, and even she was very pleased to hear that the Hou Ye was very happy, and she and her father had a good time, and they were very harmonious.

Hou Ye has always been busy with things and has never talked to his father much. Sure enough, as soon as her father came back, he gave her a lot of self-care, Lan Linju's rouge gouache, all kinds of precious fabrics, a complete set of gem heads, and excellent plum blossom papers, Anhui's old ink, and Huzhou's pens always made her feel that life was like a dream.

The fourth sister who has always been at odds with her has also been grounded, and even the sixth sister has sent a lot of rare things, especially those mountain and river travelogues, there are a lot of them in the study in the front yard, but the father is not happy for girls to go to the study, in addition to the books that she has learned, she is at most secretly buying a few books to pass the time, and the travelogue was only sent on the first day, she saw it in the middle of the night, and her eyes were red.

The entire Hou Mansion treated her as if she had been greatly wronged, and they all tried their best to subsidize her, and she felt that in this way, it seemed that she was not so wronged.

As soon as Qiao Er reported that the mutton pot was ready, Hui Zhi took Pei Lan and Green Sleeves into the yard. The little girl opened the curtain to welcome her in, the green sleeves took the big red cloak and hood she wore outside, straightened her clothes, and as soon as she entered the door, Suihua took her hand, and the two greeted each other and sat down in the flower hall.

"A pair of medicines will stop my sister's high fever The Jiang lady, the third sister must have heard of it" Hui Zhi asked Pei Lan to hand the prescription booklet to Sui Hua. "I begged for it, and Mrs. Jiang gave it to me."

A prescription booklet, and a box of pills.

Sui Hua opened it and looked at it, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Heat dissipation, conditioning, detoxification, gold recipes, incense blending, incense debate and poison recognition are all available, with this recipe, there will be a lot of confidence in the deep palace, and it will be much easier to survive safely, but these recipes

Sui Hua was very excited, and also a little puzzled, and looked up at Hui Zhi, "Thank you Sixth Sister for treating me like this!" It's just Jiang Niangzi's booklet."

Hui Zhi was about to dispel her concerns, "Jiang Niangzi was born in a family of Xinglin in the south of the Yangtze River, but her family changed when she was young, and after twists and turns, she worshipped a master from outside the world as a teacher, and her medical skills are very good. It's just this booklet, just in case, don't go into the palace with your sister."

Sui Hua understood, thanked and thanked, and then instructed Qiao Er to bring the mutton pot to lunch. After eating, the two were about to talk about fashionable patterns, when Green Sleeves suddenly came over and said, "Madame's mother-in-law who cut spring shirts came to measure the clothes and choose cloth for the sons and girls, and told Madame to go back after dinner." ”

Hui Zhi looked at her with a serious look, remembering that she had already instructed Xianfang to size the fabric, probably because something important did not want the third sister to know, so she looked at Sui Hua apologetically, said that she would come to see her another day, and went out with a cloak.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, Perrin lowered his voice and replied.

"Zhao Laijia, the second steward of the outer courtyard, led a few rough mothers-in-law to Congqing Courtyard, Aunt Lin and people outside the house went to and fro privately, Zhao Lai's family was ordered to arrange Aunt Lin's grounding, but I didn't expect to see Huang Ying next to my aunt sneakily pulling and pulling with people in the small forest at the corner gate of the backyard, only to find out that it was a girl from the outer house, and the marquis now ordered someone to seal Aunt Lin's house, and Mrs. is sending someone to check it."

Hui Zhi thought of the events of the years, and was a little puzzled: "I remember since I was a child, the aunts of Cong Qingyuan are all very responsible people, why did Aunt Lin frequently commit taboos in the family and do such things several times?" Have you found out which province it is? ”

"Not yet, the maid ran away when she saw someone coming, the corner gate is in a remote location, the mother-in-law on duty doesn't know where to eat and drink, Zhao Lai's family only saw her running north from a distance, and sent someone to call the nursing home to chase, and there is no news yet."

To the north, most of the people living in Beicheng were wealthy merchants from the capital.

Aunt Lin's brother works in the Shen family of the imperial merchant, but the Shen family lives in the excellent location of the Baojie Hutong in Xicheng, the mansion of Wujin, and the imperial mansion adjacent to the Su University Scholar's Mansion and Wuwei Hou, all of which are upstarts in the imperial court.

Hui Zhi returned to the Yuhua Pavilion, first went to meet her mother, and when she saw that she was busy, she went back to talk to Senior Sister Jiang about the matter.

"The corner gate is remote, and it may be a trick to the north, or it may be a detour. This girl is so familiar with the way, I'm afraid she hasn't come once or twice, and if someone asks the stall vendors outside the house, maybe there will be a harvest. Jiang Caiqiong said to her with a light smile while grinding the medicinal powder, Huizhi's eyes lit up, and she took Aman's half-day vacation to go home to visit

Aunt Lin was cutting a new robe for Hou Ye in the house, absentmindedly thinking about why Huang Ying hadn't come back yet, and heard the little girl hurriedly running back and shouting, "Auntie, it's not good, it's not good" Shockedly, she made a mistake, and pierced her fingers, and a bead of blood puffed up on her fingertips, she twisted her eyebrows and just wanted to scold the little girl for not knowing the rules, when she heard a bustling crowd outside the gate of Cong Qingyuan coming in, led by Zhao Lai, the second steward of the front yard, with a group of five big and three thick thick maids, and entered her house with a lot of pressure.

Aunt Lin's mouth was dry from being frightened by this situation, and as soon as she wanted to get up to ask, she saw Huang Ying being pushed and thrown to the ground, her hair scattered, and her dress was also stained with mud.

"Aunt Lin, Huang Ying was found to be having an affair with someone in the small forest, and Mrs. asked you to ask you, did this girl kill and throw out a roll of straw mats, or did she ask Ya Po in Beicheng to sell it?"

Aunt Lin's frightened head was about to fall to the ground with a bang, a mother-in-law went up with the tips of her eyes and held her tightly, pinching her arm hurt, and was about to open her mouth to argue, when she heard Huang Ying, who was trembling, suddenly pounce on the corner of her skirt and shout: "I didn't!" Auntie save me, I was ordered to pass the word, auntie! ”

Aunt Lin's brain hurt, her arms hurt too, her legs were weak and she couldn't stand and she grabbed the corner of her skirt, and hurriedly kicked her away in disgust, "I asked you to go to the small kitchen to get snacks, but you actually ran to the corner gate with people, shameless hooves, don't want to come and pull me!" ”

Huang Ying heard that Aunt Lin was going to give her up, the Yapo in Beicheng specializes in the business of Qinlou Song House, whether to die or sell to that kind of place, it is better to die than to be wronged and die, it is better to tell the plate.

"If my aunt wants to give up the life of the slave maid, don't blame the slave maid! The slave wants to see the lady! It's all my aunt's orders! Huang Ying looked at Zhao Laijia desperately, her face was full of tears, and her hair was stained everywhere, very wolfish, but her eyes were vicious, "Where is my private meeting!" It is the maid of the Shen family named Ziyuan, and the aunt has been in contact with the Shen family for the past two months! The Shen family of the imperial businessman! Shen Guifei's maiden family! ”

Huang Ying was very cold and angry, and even called herself "slave" and replaced it with "me" when she spoke, Huang Ying is a very well-behaved girl on weekdays.

Aunt Lin listened to what she said, and couldn't help but feel angry on her forehead, and then her eyes darkened, and she fell into the arms of her mother-in-law who was holding her.
