Chapter 5 Returning Home Happily
The mother and daughter in the Jifu Hall were discussing the matter of the ceremony, and it was noon in the blink of an eye. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Mrs. Zhao left a few girls to eat in the upper room, but the second girl refused to stay. Mrs. Zhao is not reluctant, no matter how confident she is about Zhao Linyi's future, it is always a fact that she doesn't like Zhang's mother and daughter, eating together is just an eyesore for each other, why bother to make each other unhappy?
Yiying helped the two big girls in Jifutang, Fei Wen and Huichun, to set the plate and hold the cup, and put in the soup. Several girls sat down, and on the left of Mrs. Zhao sat Zhao Qingyi, and on the right were Zhao Jiayi and Zhao Weiyi's sisters. In Jifu Hall, several second-class maids such as holding jade, Si Qi stood aside and held a scarf.
Lunch meat dishes on a wine-stuffed steamed duck, a stewed silver carp head, because just after summer, there is no fishy dish of beef and sheep, vegetarian dish is a sour cucumber, and a sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, looking at it makes people appetite.
The Zhao family pays attention to food and does not say anything, and there is no laughter at the dinner table, only the sound of cicadas outside the window is silent.
After lunch, the three girls and the four girls took their leave, and Mrs. Zhao Pei sent Si Qi to see them off. As soon as the two left, Pei's face sank and he looked at Zhao Qingyi with anger.
Zhao Qingyi pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, what are you doing here? The second sister is not happy with you, so you teach her a lesson, why do you want to attack me?"
Pei Shi was so angry by her words that he felt angina, and sneered: "I don't think there is anything unhappy, it's you who is not happy!"
She hated iron and said: "How many times have I told you, don't compete with these concubines." You are the only lady of the Zhao family, and in the future, your social circle will be at a different level with their husband's family. ”
Zhao Qingyi didn't want to argue with her mother, so she bowed her head. When Pei Shi saw her like this, he knew that she still didn't take this to heart. She sighed, and had to comfort herself: There is still a year before her daughter gets married, and she will teach her well in this year, and she will always be able to teach.
The mother and daughter were not very happy, and Zhao Qingyi was reluctant to rest in Jifu Hall for lunch, so she returned to Ming Seju with Yiying.
Yiying carefully removed the hairpin rings for Zhao Qingyi, and Zhao Qingyi said with some annoyance: "Zhilan, do you think my mother is right to teach me today?"
Yiying was stunned, she didn't expect Zhao Qingyi to talk about these things with her, she has always been dull, and if she has any worries, she often tells Zhishu to listen.
Zhao Qingyi saw that she didn't speak for a while, and secretly said that she was confused, Zhilan has always been quiet and honest, and she is afraid that she won't be able to say anything if she is asked to judge. was about to divert the topic, but heard Zhilan laugh and said, "The slave maid thinks what Madame said is very reasonable." ”
Zhao Qingyi raised her eyebrows, became interested, and asked, "Why is it very reasonable?"
Yiying raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a light smile: "The biological mother of the three girls and the four girls is not favored, and in the future, if she is lucky, she will only marry a poor scholar or a concubine of a big family, and the second girl", Yiying paused, seeing that Zhao Qingyi was slightly impatient, knowing that she cared about this one the most, and said: " Although Aunt Zhang is favored, she is still the biological mother of the eldest young master, but after all, she is a concubine, and she is one section shorter than you, and the second girl is a person who has no one in her eyes to fly and dominate, and the lady is generous and does not care about her, but when she marries, she has to look at the face of her mother-in-law, and the second girl is only afraid of suffering in her mother-in-law's house. ”
She indirectly said the fate of Zhao Linyi in her previous life.
Zhao Qingyi was surprised, she didn't expect Zhilan, who had always been silent, to say such a thing, "You are a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and you know very well what your mother-in-law is." Yiying is as immovable as a mountain, "Girl, the words of the lady you don't listen to on weekdays, the slave and maid can help you remember it." But her heart was turbulent, she was a little anxious, she wanted to change the influence of everyone in the house on her at once, but forgot that she was just a little girl who didn't know anything about people now.
Zhao Qingyi didn't doubt it when she heard this, such words could really be said by Pei's family, but she heard too much, and she became more and more distracted, but as soon as she knew what Lan said, she felt that there was some truth, Zhao Linyi was disgusted by everyone in the house, how could she please her husband's family? But every time she thought of the scene when she saw her mother alone in the empty boudoir and secretly wept when she was young, she couldn't be kind to these half-sisters.
However, Zhilan is right, they can't compare with themselves, after all, she Zhao Qingyi, but she wants to marry into the Changxin Marquis Mansion as Mrs. Hou. When she thought of this, her mood suddenly improved.
Yiying saw that she was in a calm mood, so she told her about her plan to go home, Zhao Qingyi was very satisfied with her performance today, so she readily agreed, and allowed her to come back tomorrow morning and stay at home for one night.
Yi Ying thanked him again and again, and looked forward to it in his heart.
The adoptive mother who raised her in her previous life but had to die on the day she returned to the phoenix nest, the adoptive father who was attacked and killed by bandits when she went out on an errand, and the brother who grew up together but left the Zhao family without any news after the incident, she can finally meet them again.
She went back to her room, packed up some clothes and jewelry, and went out of the house. Several families of the Zhao family also have children who live together in several small courtyards connected to the Xicheng civilian area. The civilian area is biased, the price of the house is not high, and the children brought from the hometown are trusted by the master, and there is a lot of money and oil and water, and there is no pressure to buy a house here.
In the courtyard where Yiying's family lives, there are still two families. One household is Ping'er's father and mother in Aunt Wang's courtyard, and the other is the father and mother of the third lady's eldest maid Shi Xiang.
Shi Xiangniang Xu's mother works as an errand in the big kitchen, but it is not an errand in charge, helping to help, and occasionally going out to buy, but there is a lot of free time.
As soon as Yi Ying stepped into the courtyard, she saw Xu's mother sitting by the caisson and chatting with Qin's mother about trivial matters in the kitchen.
The moment she saw Mother Qin, her eyes turned red. Her face is white, although she is nearly forty years old, she can't see a trace of old age, the corners of her lips are always upward, not very amazingly beautiful, but it makes people want to take a second look when they see it, and it is very comfortable to see.
She still remembered that when Qin's mother learned that she was accepted as an aunt, she grew countless gray hairs overnight, as if she was ten years old, her eyebrows also lost their luster, and she was sad all day long, and the picture turned again, it was Qin's mother lying quietly on the bed, her face was pale, her limbs were stiff, she knelt in front of the bed, her expression was complicated, crying silently, shaking her, but Qin's mother never woke up.
And the young appearance in front of her was more like a dream for a long time, she was stunned for a while, not daring to step forward, for fear that if she was not careful, the dream would wake up.
