The Li family was very frightened, for fear that Old Concubine Xue would not care about her, and offended Princess Guojun again, and she didn't know how to live in the future.

I have the intention to make amends to Old Concubine Xue, but Old Concubine Xue has always been kind to each other, and she has no intention of blaming at all, so that Li can't open her mouth if she wants to make amends, isn't it just saying that Old Concubine Xue has a small belly and chicken intestines? Besides, this matter was caused by Princess Guojun, if she made amends, she would inevitably have to explain the cause and effect clearly, so it would inevitably offend Princess Guojun.

Princess Guojun and Old Concubine Xue are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after all, although she is the niece of Old Concubine Xue's maiden family and also her niece-in-law, but in terms of kinship, it is still incomparable with Princess Guojun, especially recently, after Lewen's family affairs were booked, Princess Guojun sent Lewen to Old Concubine Xue, saying that it was to let Lewen get closer to her grandmother and restrain her temperament, after all, her future husband is a person who practices martial arts, and she will suffer in front of her husband if she has a bad temper.

But the Li family knew that this was just an excuse for Princess Guojun, in fact, he wanted Lewen to curry favor with Old Concubine Xue in order to get more dowry from Old Concubine Xue.

Old Concubine Xue had no children in her life, but when she was a girl, she was deeply loved by her parents, and when she married into the Guojun Palace, she was famous for her rich dowry, and she controlled the middle feed of the Guojun Palace, and how much private money in her hand can be imagined.

It's not that the Li family couldn't think of these before, and her mother's family also reminded her to serve Old Concubine Xue well, Old Concubine Xue has no children, and she can't take away those external things, and she is not close to Princess Guojun, even if it is not good to give them all to her. As long as you secretly give some treasures, it is very remarkable.

It's just that most people are greedy, and they all want to have both fish and bear's paws, and she thinks that it would be better to be able to please Old Concubine Xue and befriend Princess Guojun?

"Niece and daughter-in-law. Old Concubine Xue called softly.

Li Shi, who was thinking about his thoughts, was gently pushed by the maid next to him, and then came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie." What's the matter?"

Old Concubine Xue said with a little tiredness: "I'm a little tired. It doesn't look like you're in good spirits, so go back and rest. ”

"No, auntie. I'm not tired, I'll hammer your legs. Li thought that there was nothing that could make Old Concubine Xue happy today, so he wanted to pay more attention to it.

"No, I'll go to the Buddha Hall after a break. Old Concubine Xue said. Slowly closed his eyes.

Li still wanted to say something, but Mother You smiled and said, "There are still us people around the old lady." The second lady can rest assured, it will be the same for Ming'er to serve again. ”

In desperation, Li had no choice but to bow and leave, and Mother You personally sent her out of the door.

Just out of the house. I saw Le Wen dressed in red, running around with a group of little maids, and blessed her from afar. jumped into Old Concubine Xue's house.

After a while, there was a burst of laughter in the room, which was mixed with the laughter of Old Concubine Xue.

Li, who was just about to step out of the gate of the courtyard, unconsciously stopped again. sighed secretly, and sure enough, Old Concubine Xue was just looking for an excuse to let her go.

"Second lady, what's wrong? Did you pull down something?" Mother You didn't ask knowingly, but Li Ding stood here, looking towards Old Concubine Xue's house, she couldn't pretend not to know, and stood with her, so that everyone could see that everyone's faces were not good-looking.

"No, no. Only then did Li react, and said to You's mother a little crampedly, but he didn't dare to look around, so he quickly quickened his pace and left.

Mother You shook her head, and then returned to the courtyard of Old Concubine Xue.

Old Concubine Xue was amused by the jokes told by the little maid next to Le Wen.

Le Wen followed behind the old lady Xue and beat her back for her filial piety, and the grandchildren were harmonious, and there was a joyful atmosphere in the room.

After Le Wen led the little maid away, Mother You stepped forward and made a cup of red date tea for Old Concubine Xue to nourish qi and blood.

Old Concubine Xue took a sip of tea, this time she was really tired, Mother You massaged her shoulder in a timely manner, Lewen, this little girl couldn't hold the strength of her shoulder, she must not be able to make the old lady really relaxed.

After pressing it for a while, seeing that Old Concubine Xue seemed to be really relaxed, thinking of Fang Cai's attitude towards the Li family, Mother You couldn't help but say, "Old Lady, the second lady seems to be a little ...... Disturbed. ”

Old Concubine Xue closed her eyes and did not speak.

Mother You thought she was asleep, so she stopped talking, just concentrated on rubbing her shoulders, and after a long time, Old Concubine Xue said, "Later, you will bring the pair of white jade bracelets I wore when I was young and send them to Lewen." ”

"Is it the pair of white jade bracelets that the old lady gave you at the beginning?" Mother You couldn't believe it, this pair of white jade bracelets were carved from mutton fat and white jade, all flawless, and it was extremely expensive and rich Not to mention, it was a very meaningful dowry given to Old Concubine Xue by Old Concubine Xue's mother, so it was given to Lewen, or in the case of no name, this gift is too expensive.

Old Lady Xue nodded.

"Old Lady ......"

Mother You opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything after all, and afterwards, according to the instructions of Mrs. Xue, she found the white jade bracelet and sent it to Miss Lewen's house in person.

From then on, Miss Lewen came to Concubine Xue's house more frequently, and squeezed the Li family aside.

Before, Mother You hadn't left Mrs. Xue to hug Princess Guojun's thigh and was upset for Mrs. Xue, but now seeing that Li has a pitiful look, she can't bear it anymore, especially Miss Lewen doesn't seem to be paying much attention to Old Concubine Xue, but the little girl says some small jokes to make the old man happy, which is actually not funny, but the old lady seems to be coaxing Miss Lewen, obviously she doesn't want to laugh, but she pretends to have a smiling face.

Finally, after Miss Lewen got an extremely pure green jade jade Buddha the size of a thumb of Old Concubine Xue again, Mother You couldn't help it, and said, "Old lady, even if you feel sorry for Miss Lewen." There is no need to give so many gifts, and it is not good for Miss Lewen to give too much, but it seems that Miss Lewen is honoring you for these vulgar things, which hurts the feelings of grandchildren in vain. ”

Old Concubine Xue smiled: "Mother You, in the blink of an eye, you and I have been together for almost fifty years, right?"

mentioned the love of master and servant, Mother You's eyes were a little hot again, and she said, "The old lady has pity." The old slave has had the privilege of serving you for forty-eight years. ”

"Forty-eight years. Old Concubine Xue muttered. "I've been married into this Guojun Mansion for forty years, and it's really like a dream, and sometimes I feel that life is going by very slowly. Sometimes it feels fast, what do you think of my life?"

"Old lady, you are naturally blessed, you are the old county king......" Mother You couldn't go on. She is very upset for the old lady Xue, and the old county king is half a life. After that, a mess was left, leaving only the old lady Xue alone to support this county palace, poor old lady how good she was when she was a girl, and a woman begged for a hundred families. How can you have such a husband who doesn't know how to cherish people?

"I'm a stone girl. Old Concubine Xue said lightly something that made Mother You feel like a bolt from the blue.

The so-called stone girl is not a real woman at all, she is congenitally deficient, she can't do things with a man, and she can't have children. Seriously, the stone girl should not marry at all.

"This secret has been hidden in my heart for almost a lifetime. There are no more than four people who know, except for my mother, there are only two stable women who delivered my mother at that time, and even my father doesn't know. Old Concubine Xue said with a long sigh, "As the eldest daughter and the first child of my father, how dare my mother let my father know about this? This is a bad omen, even if my father and mother have a deep relationship with each other, my grandfather and grandmother will not be able to tolerate my mother." ”

Mother You knows, the folk scolding words, saying that giving birth to a child without an asshole is an extremely vicious word, saying that it is how many immoral things people have done to give birth to such a child, these are all aimed at male babies, but for female babies, although the stone girl is not as strict as the asshole, but it is also very ominous, and the child must be covered up in many places in the countryside, and if it can't be concealed, the woman will be divorced, and even the male family will be looked down upon by the neighbors, how can the old lady Xue be?

Old Concubine Xue sighed and said: "Outsiders say how my mother loves me, even a few younger brothers and sisters are put aside, they think that because I am the relationship between the eldest daughter, in fact, it is not, my mother is holding this secret for fear of being discovered, and my life will not be guaranteed, so she tries to be as good as possible to me on weekdays, so that I can live happily, for fear of that day...... The choice of such a son-in-law as the old county king is not my mother's eyes, it is the result of her every possible inquiry, the old county king is weak, and it is difficult to have children, plus he is romantic but soft-hearted, and has a lot of pity for women, when the time comes, I beg him, he will not give me a way to live. ”

"That old county king......" Hearing this, Mother You couldn't help but feel grateful to the old county king, if the old county king knew and still didn't say it, then it was indeed not thin for the old lady Xue.

Old Concubine Xue shook her head, "It's not that he is soft-hearted, it's that he really doesn't know, the cave room is a candle night, I made up a lie, saying that I believe in the Buddha, hoping to always accompany the ancient Buddha of the green light, he had a beloved maid at the time, we were driven to Zhuangzi by his father and mother before we got married, I promised to intercede for him, and the maid wanted to come back, in the future they will stay and fly, I will not interfere, and will cover up in front of his father, he was worried about the maid, and naturally agreed to it. ”

"Maid, is that maid?" Mother You was a little puzzled, after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't expect that the old county king was very kind to that maid when he first got married, according to what the old lady said, he should be able to bring back his beloved maid with the help of the old lady, but she didn't have such a maid in her impression, could it be that she left the old lady Xue?

"I don't remember the name, it's probably called Hua'er Cao'er, which is an ordinary maid's name. Speaking of this, Old Concubine Xue showed a sneer in her eyes, "With my help, he can naturally easily run to Zhuangzi to meet the maid, but the wife is not as good as the concubine, the concubine is not as good as stealing, the stealing is better than stealing, he began to secretly meet, I must feel excited, but with my help, there is no need to sneak, his father and mother don't mind seeing me, and they won't stop their son, Hengzhi is just a maid, and he was afraid that I would make trouble when he was expelled before, after all, they heard about me at that time." Virtuous name's did everything possible to come to the door to ask for marriage, and then saw that I was really as virtuous as rumored, and naturally happy to let my son be satisfied, probably no need to sneak around, less exciting, and I didn't feel fresh, and then his father and mother saw that I couldn't get pregnant, so he hinted that I arranged for his son, and then it was a good concubine, and then those women were still childless, and his father was afraid that I used what means, so he arranged it himself, and came and went, and this woman was more, where do you remember a little girl? Probably the people on the Zhuangzi saw that the maid fell out of favor and was a little sluggish, or that the maid was sad and didn't look at it, in short, it was gone in the end, how did it not happen, I don't know, he didn't care about it, why should I go to the bottom of it?"

"This old county king's heart is really a bit ruthless. Mother You couldn't help but sigh a little.

"Who is not like this man? It's that the maid herself doesn't love herself, and she doesn't know what is serious. Old Concubine Xue said coldly, "If you seduce the master when she is not married, and follow her without a name or share, what good end can it be? That is, the old county king, if you really have to pity her, you won't steal it, endure it, and wait for a year or two after marrying a wife before you are officially carried into the door to be an aunt, isn't it the best of both worlds? I didn't expect the world to be sinister, and after reading a few more crooked books, I always thought that as long as I really loved each other, I could resist a qiē. ”

Mother You was silent, she didn't agree with Mrs. Xue's words, after all, Mrs. Xue was the master, and it was difficult to understand the hardships of the maid, just like when she was by the side of Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Xue treated her well, but that kind of involuntary and dazed feeling was something that the master could not understand, so she thought about marrying with her father, thinking that she could be the master herself, no longer with the fate of the master, and would not be casually assigned to a small house, who would have expected that even if her parents were in charge, she would not be able to fight for her life, her fate should be like this, and she couldn't change it, thinking about when she was young, the outstanding young masters of the old lady's mother's family really had a chance, maybe she will also earn a handful back then, many beautiful aunts in high-ranking families are from maids.
