The pomegranate Wei Ruyi next to the He family knows that it is the big girl of the He family, and she is also very trusted, in the past, the He family was busy with the middle feed, and the affairs of the Lixiang Courtyard were handed over to the pomegranate to take care of, she actually had a body?

Wei Ruyi was shocked, she had never heard that He had taken her into the house, how could she have a body, and she had a miscarriage, He also concealed the news, invited Dr. Sun to come to see the doctor, and planned to quietly cover up the matter.

It's just that this matter is a matter in the long room, she didn't want to ask more, so she asked Dongxue to take a small bag of silver money and Lu Xun: "This is the 'consultation money' for Mr. Xiao, if there is anything in the future, please don't refuse Mr. Xiao." ”

Lu Xun didn't dare to refuse anymore, Nuo Nuo responded, accepted the consultation fee and went out.

Knowing that He pretended to be sick, Wei Ruyi was even more suspicious, this time the post of the Ding'an Hou Mansion was really coincidental, and he never interacted with each other, and suddenly made a post, although he said that he was a close relative, but He also said that he was sick and did not go, only she and the old lady went, and the old lady seemed to have known about it for a long time, which was really strange, making people feel that this time the ceremony was not so simple.

Mother Zhao came in and said, "Second young grandmother, people are already in the flower hall." ”

Li Zhong came, Wei Ruyi got up and said, "Mom come with me, I have something to explain to him." ”

Standing in the flower hall, Li Zhong put down the account book, rubbed his hands a little crampedly, he was born in the Zhuang, although Zhao's mother served beside the second young grandmother in the house, but he has always stayed in the Zhuangzi to work, some time ago the second young grandmother suddenly called him into the city, and arranged to take care of things in the shop, although he was surprised but still tried his best to do it, helped Wei Ruyi's dowry calligraphy and painting to exchange money, and also did a few errands, but he was full of doubts, I don't know what the second young grandmother is going to do.

Seeing Wei Ruyi enter the flower hall, Li Zhong hurriedly lowered his head and bowed respectfully: "The second young grandmother is fine." ”

Wei Ruyi called him up, took Zhao's mother to sit down behind the screen, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, they are all considered to be my own family." ”

Li Zhong responded in a low voice and sent the account book to Zhao's mother: "Here is the account book on the shop, please take a look at the second young grandmother." ”

Wei Ruyi shook his head: "It's not for the shop to let you come, it's something else to tell you." ”

Her face slowly sank: "I know that there are many contacts with those noble mansions in the shop, so I asked you to go over to take care of things, firstly, because I can trust you, and secondly, I want you to help me pay attention to the news in Xijing City, where I can be useful." ”

Wei Ruyi's shop is a pawn shop, which was also personally operated by Wei Qinghan before, and the business is not prosperous, and he often deals with people in your house, so he is also very well-informed.

Li Zhong didn't want Wei Ruyi to make it clear to himself that he said this, so he could be regarded as reassuring, and bowed down to respond: "The little one understands, please ask the second young grandmother to command." ”

Wei Ruyi bowed slightly, his eyes were complicated: "Have you ever heard the news of the Ding'an Hou Mansion these days?" ”

Li Zhong thought for a while: "I heard that the people who ransomed in the shop said that the Ding'an Hou Mansion seems to have a happy event these days, and dozens of tables have been ordered, and the Longyu class has been invited to go to the mansion to sing for three days to celebrate." ”

It's just a girl's ceremony, and the Ding'an Hou Mansion is so grandly organized, which is completely out of order, Wei Ruyi frowned, and asked again after a long time: "Do you know what the relationship between the Ding'an Hou Mansion and other mansions is?" ”

Li Zhong shook his head, but said, "The little one will go and investigate, and there will be news in a few days." ”

Wei Ruyi looked at him with satisfaction, although Li Zhong was born in a villager, and he was not as clever as the little guy who usually served in the house, but he was loyal and sincere, and he was safe, so she used him with confidence: "Just inquire about everything, if you have news, you will let someone bring you over, and I will let you lead you in." ”

Li Zhong was instructed, and then he took his leave.

Mother Zhao was a little uneasy, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the post of the Ding'an Hou Mansion?" Why did the young grandmother inquire about the news of the Hou Mansion? ”

Wei Ruyi smiled bitterly: "I can't say for sure now, it's just that I always feel that this matter is a little strange, and I can't say what it is, but I can always rest assured if I find out." She couldn't tell Zhao's mother her guess for the time being, after all, it was all a matter of chasing after the wind and shadows, and there was no real evidence.

To Wei Ruyi's surprise, the Hu family really listened to Wei Ruyi's instructions and took good care of the Yuan family, not only went to the south wing room to visit every day, but also specially arranged for Jin Xia, who was waiting for him to go to the south wing room to help with the dots.

"Is my sister feeling better today? Can you eat it? Hu Shi opened the curtain and went in, talked to Yuan Shi who was lying on the couch with a smile, and walked to him and sat down.

Yuan frowned slightly, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he responded with a smile: "Sister is here, please sit down and have tea, my sister still came to see me on such a cold day, it's really mine." ”

Hu Shi smiled more and more kindly: "Sister, what are you talking about, since the master and the young grandmother have explained that I will take care of you, I will do my best." ”

She turned her head and asked Jin Xia, "What did Aunt Yuan eat today?" ”

Jin Xia was sent to the south wing room since she beat herself, and the Yuan family has refused to let her approach, and she was not even allowed to be in front of her, but the Hu family asked her to keep an eye on the movements of the south wing room from time to time, if she didn't get the news, she would have to be beaten and scolded, she was also aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing Hu's question, she had to whisper: "My aunt vomited so much that she didn't eat anything." ”

Hu Shi looked worried, and grabbed Yuan's hand: "Sister doesn't need to eat, it's okay, you are a person with a body now, you can't have the slightest mistake, if you don't eat or drink, won't you starve your brother in your stomach!" She bit the word brother very hard, but her face was still smiling.

"I didn't go to the kitchen to let the food be delivered, the mountain ginseng pheasant soup for the year, and the freshly made chopsticks were sent while they were hot!" She commanded the girls with a heavy face.

Yuan Shi lay on the couch, looked at the food that was served, and saw that it was all greasy and tonic, smelling the smell and couldn't help but have a convulsion in his stomach, he hurriedly covered the acid reflux with a handkerchief and wanted to vomit, waved his hand: "Hurry up...... Get out of ......"

Hu Shi smiled even more: "My sister can't stop eating, these are all for the body, I ordered the kitchen to buy them in the morning and send them over, which is very beneficial to the brother in the stomach, so use them while they are hot." ”

Yuan Shi was so retching that he didn't have the strength to speak, and just lay on the edge of the couch.

"The second master is here." The little girl came in and replied.

For a while, Yuan Shi couldn't care about nausea, straightened up and busily rinsed his mouth with tea, wiped his mouth and looked outside, Hu Shi was even more happy, put down the bowl in his hand, and hurried out.

"Master is here." Hu Shijiao smiled and saluted Yin Shaojun.

"Why are you here?" Yin Shaojun saw the Hu family, and it was a little strange.

Hu Shi waved the girl away, and at the same time personally went up to untie the cloak for Yin Shaojun, and said softly: "Before, the young grandmother told the concubine to take care of her sister, and the concubine came to see that her sister was better, and asked people to make pheasant soup and food and send it over, but I am afraid that my sister will not use hunger." ”

Yin Shaojun entered the inner room, only to see Yuan biting his lip and sitting on the couch looking at him, looking weak, and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart: "What, still vomit badly?" ”

It's just that before Yuan's reply, Hu Shi preemptively said: "My sister is pregnant with my brother and her body is weak, and she has been vomiting and never used to eat, so I asked the kitchen to send these, let my sister use them while they are hot, even if they don't think for themselves, they have to plan for the brother in their stomachs." ”

Hearing Hu say this, Yin Shaojun nodded, he didn't care about anything else, but he was very concerned about the child in Yuan's belly, he had been married for so many years, he had no children under his knees, this might be his eldest son, how could he not care.

The Yuan family originally wanted to take advantage of Yin Shaojun's return and send the Hu family away, and even withdrew all these foods that made her unappetizing, but now there was no way out, so she could only respond in a low voice.

Hu Shi glanced at her, full of pride, and pulled Yin Shaojun's sleeve delicately: "My sister is already using rice here, the second master might as well go to the West Chamber to eat, I let people make the vinegar house fish that the master loves to use, and I am afraid that I will send it over." ”

Yin Shaojun saw that Hu Shi was so considerate, but he also nodded slightly, and went back to the West Chamber with her.

Seeing that Hu Huanhuan took Yin Shaojun away, the girl beside Yuan's side couldn't help muttering: "What are you talking about taking care of your aunt, it's obviously for the second master to come over, just to sell it in front of the second master and pull the second master to the West Chamber!" ”

Yuan Shi had already vomited out of strength at this time, and waved his hand: "Let her be, no matter how much she tries to use it, it is useless, as long as she keeps this in her stomach, she has no other way." ”

Looking at the purchase list sent by the kitchen, Wei Ruyi couldn't help frowning, the Hu family really cared about taking care of the Yuan family, and asked the kitchen to prepare all kinds of food and decoction to send to the south wing every day, and it was only half a month old, and the south wing room had already used more than fifty taels of silver, not counting other expenses.

Mother Zhao also smacked her tongue when she saw the list, and said: "Young grandma has to explain to the kitchen, although Aunt Yuan has a body, it is not such a tonic ......"

Wei Ruyi looked at the purchased ginseng He Shou Wu and other things, but he showed a smile and shook his head: "No need, just let her go, and it won't take much silver." ”

Mother Zhao was very puzzled, but she had to respond in a low voice, and said: "Someone from the house over there handed over the news yesterday, saying that the people from the Ma Er family were going to go over to carry people today, and Qiu Tang begged to see the young grandmother and kowtow to the young grandmother." ”

When Wei Ruyi returned to the house before, he left Qiu Tang in the Wei Mansion, and waited for the Ma family to carry him back in a sedan chair, so he was married, and he didn't want Qiu Tang to dare to see him.

Mother Zhao saw that Wei Ruyi's face was not good-looking, and said, "It's better to let someone go to the house over there to get her back and send her away." ”

Wei Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Let someone bring her over, since it is a master and servant, it is better to let her die if she kowtows." ”

Qiu Tang was dressed in a new jacket and cotton skirt, and her hair was also pulled up as a woman's bun, but she had a plain face, and her eyes were red and swollen as if she had just cried.

When she saw Wei Ruyi, she bowed down: "Second young grandmother ......" choked up, as if she had a stomach full of grievances, but she could only cry and couldn't say it.

Wei Ruyi looked at her, unmoved, just said coldly: "Get up." ”

"Since the Ma family has invited a sedan chair to carry it, you should follow well, you will be Ma Er's daughter-in-law in the future, why are you still clamoring to come to see me?" Wei Ruyi said slowly.

Qiu Tang couldn't care about crying at this time, she didn't get up, she just whimpered sadly: "The maid is also serving by the young grandmother's side, and I followed the young grandmother to this side of the house, I don't dare to have other thoughts, I just want to serve the young grandmother well, I would rather not marry and follow the young grandmother, I never think about ......"

"It must be that the young grandmother has some misunderstanding, the maid has never done anything that is sorry for the young grandma, grandma should not listen to others chewing the root of the tongue, the maid really has never done it." She couldn't wait to be full of mouths and defend herself.

Wei Ruyi looked at Qiu Tang, who was still hard-mouthed, and his heart became colder and colder: "You mean that I wronged you, is it possible that you don't want to marry Ma Er?" ”

Qiu Tang suddenly heard a glimmer of life, and nodded again and again: "The maid doesn't want to marry, and is willing to serve by the young grandmother's side." She suddenly thought that she had a bad reputation before, but she was afraid that she would not be able to be a big girl, "Even if it is a second-class girl who pours tea and water, or...... Miscellaneous servants are also willing. ”

Wei Ruyi looked at the girl she brought out single-handedly, she was so heartfelt at the beginning, but now that everything has been revealed, she is still quibbling in every way, she is no longer willing to listen to her more, she turned her back and stood by the window, and said word by word: "What kind of medicine did the second wife let you take my life at the beginning!" ”

Qiu Tang's body trembled, staring at Wei Ruyi's back with wide eyes, only to feel a chill in his back, and he couldn't even say anything to deny it for a while: "No...... I never ......"

Wei Ruyi turned around slowly, his eyes were as cold as water, staring at Qiu Tang who was trembling on the ground: "If you tell the truth now, maybe I can still remember the sake of your past service by your side, and let you marry the Ma family well, if you still dare to deceive me, I will make someone go to Ma Er and tell him that I will marry him again in a while!" ”

Qiu Tang was really scared at this time, she never thought that Wei Ruyi would not even leave her a way out, and suddenly sat on the ground in a daze, her face was dazed, as if she had lost her soul.

It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, with a wry smile on her face, and she slowly lowered her head: "The young grandmother already knew that it was the maid who couldn't help herself." ”

Wei Ruyi looked at Qiu Tang, who had calmed down: "I only knew until I died, I didn't expect that the people around me would attack me." ”

"The young grandmother has always been extremely intelligent, but she used to be soft-natured, so she never noticed it." Qiu Tang had no scruples when he spoke, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have let Xia He's slut climb onto the second master's bed and carry my aunt." ”

"When did the second wife give you any medicine?" Wei Ruyi was impatient and talked nonsense with her.

Qiu Tang wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve and laughed: "At that time, the young grandmother had just had a miscarriage, and when the second wife came over, she quietly looked for me, gave me a pack of medicine, and asked me to put it in the young grandmother's decoction, saying that after eating, it would be red......"

"She promised to make your brother the steward of Zhuangzi?" Wei Ruyi asked.

"Yes," Qiu Tang did not deny it, "Originally, my sister-in-law looked down on my eldest brother, saying that he was cowardly and useless, and he could only work in the fields all day long, without any interest, and he quarreled with his father and mother every day, and the family was not at peace. ”

Wei Ruyi only felt so ridiculous, her most trusted girl didn't hesitate to drug herself just for the sake of being in charge, she really didn't know how to deal with her again.

"Go ahead, no more talking." Wei Ruyi closed his eyes and stopped looking at her, and waved his hand.

Qiu Tang slowly raised her eyes to look at her master, who had been serving Wei Ruyi all these years, she thought that she knew Wei Ruyi's temperament the most, gentle and generous, even when she met Hu Shi's domineering, she also tolerated it, she never thought that she would have such a means, the second young grandmother in front of her already made her feel very strange, and she couldn't help but be afraid.

She walked slowly to the door, but hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Second young grandmother, still beware of Aunt Hu and ...... Xia He, I'm afraid they also did it. Then he walked outside, and his steps did not stop any longer.

When Qiu Tang left, Zhao's mother came in, and looked at Wei Ruyi sitting on the seat with her eyes closed, she was very worried, but she was afraid that Qiu Tang's affairs would make her angry: "The second young grandmother is relieved, such a person who has a bad heart is not worth being angry with her, so it is better to rest." ”

Wei Ruyi sighed and said with a wry smile: "I knew that she had done something, but I never thought that she would do it without hesitation." ”

Mother Zhao also sighed: "These four girls were brought by the young grandmother from the house, and they are not as kind as others, I didn't expect to be ......" One became an aunt with a heart, and the other actually poisoned Wei Ruyi.

The exclamation on Wei Ruyi's face slowly disappeared, revealing a trace of coldness: "I'm afraid that the Hu family and the Yuan family are not innocent." At the beginning, Dr. Zheng said that my miscarriage was also because of the poisoning, since Qiu Tang was poisoned after the miscarriage, I am afraid that there are others who have done it. ”

The day of the post of the Hou of Ding'an soon came, and in the morning, Wei Ruyi ordered someone to prepare a carriage and wait outside the mansion gate, and she personally took Chunxiang and Dongxue to Fushoutang to invite the old lady.

Mrs. Yin also deliberately dressed up today, turmeric Fushou kept turning over the hair jacket, red gold sprinkled with flowers, wearing a black color and Tilian satin hair cloak, combing a upright high bun, wearing a beaded forehead guard on her forehead, looking at Wei Ruyi coming over, her face was light: "Since you are here, let's go, don't be too late." ”

She treated Wei Ruyi not like He's, and refused to let Wei Ruyi help her, but just taught her personal girl Qinglian to support her, and walked towards the courtyard step by step.

On the way there, Mrs. Yin asked Wei Ruyi: "What congratulatory gifts and Hou Mansion have you prepared?" ”

Wei Ruyi replied: "Because it is the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion and the Xuan, she doesn't move around much on weekdays, and it is not easy to send large valuables, compared to the previous practice of the sister-in-law, I ordered someone to go to Jibao Zhai to play a set of noodles, although it is not too valuable, fortunately, the style is novel, and I think the eldest girl will like it." ”

She took the brocade box from Chunxiang's hand and opened it with the old lady, inside was a set of red gold inlaid red treasure head jewelry, the hair crown and hairpin rings were carved into a six-petal lotus flower, small and exquisite, but not inferior, the old lady glanced at it, and said: "Don't mess up the rules for a while, make people laugh." ”

Wei Ruyi responded and chuckled: "I haven't been to these mansions much, so I still serve by my mother's side, so I don't make jokes." ”

The old lady glanced at her and didn't say a word, and Wei Ruyi stopped talking and sat with her head down.

Ding'an Hou Mansion is in the north street of Xijing City, three beast head gates, hanging high with the plaque of "making Ding'an Hou Mansion", at this time it is already the middle door is wide open, servants from the servant more than a dozen stand in front of the door to welcome guests, and there are already a lot of cars and horses parked in front of the door, and there are guests to get off the horse and enter the house.

Wei Ruyi never thought that the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion would invite so many people to watch the ceremony, so it was not grand, she only felt strange, got out of the car to help the old lady, and told her mother-in-law to go over to investigate.

But a mother-in-law had already greeted her: "It's the old lady and the second young grandmother of Yinfu, please say hello to the old lady and the young grandmother." "Blessed with a blessing on his face, with a smile on his face, "My ** grandmother heard that the old lady and the young grandmother were coming, so she ordered to wait here and invite the two of them in." ”

Old Madam Yin had a smile on her face, nodded slightly, and walked towards the house: "Your ** milk is too polite, so many guests have specially asked people to welcome us in." ”

The mother-in-law accompanied her: "** Grandma ordered, the old lady and the second young grandmother are their own in-laws, and they can't be neglected." ”

She led everyone from the Yin family into the house, passed through the hall, and arrived at the main compound, where the Feng ** grandmother He of the Ding'an Hou Mansion had already greeted her, and greeted Mrs. Yin with a smile: "Mrs. In-law is here, please come in and sit." ”

Mrs. Yin also smiled when she saw her: "**Milk is good, I haven't seen **milk for a long time, and there is joy in the house today, so I naturally want to come over to say hello." ”

"It's just a girl and a lady, I invited you to have a good time, where it should be a happy event." Feng ** Grandma continued, and saw Wei Ruyi at a glance, "This is the second young grandmother in the house?" is really outstanding, virtuous and gentle, and it is really a blessing for the old lady. ”

Wei Ruyi chuckled and said: "** Milk has won the award, sister-in-law is a virtuous person, but she is not in good health today, so I accompanied my mother over." ”

**Grandma sighed when she heard this: "Su Juan, this kid is too strong, and he used to be a character who refused to admit defeat, but I'm afraid that if he is still strong after the wind, he will drag it harder." ”

Old Madam Yin nodded: "I have already let her give birth to a good life, ** milk rest assured." ”

The three of them walked towards the hall, there were already a lot of female dependents sitting inside, talking and laughing together, seeing Mrs. Yin come in, or ** milk personally accompanied, many people showed doubts on their faces, they didn't know Mrs. Yin, in the past, the Yin family was also a prince's house, and there were also contacts, but the Yin family had already won the title and declined, why did the Ding'an Hou Mansion invite them to come, and they welcomed them in solemnly.

"The in-laws are here, and I didn't even go out to greet them." Old Madam He got up to greet her, with a smile on her face.

When Mrs. Yin saw her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "My in-laws have arrived, but I came late." ”

"Sit and talk quickly, and then salute for a while." Old Madam He pointed to the seat.

"Which two are you invited by the secretary and the praiser?" Old Madam Yin asked.

Mrs. He couldn't hide a hint of pride: "Yousi is Mrs. Tan University, and the praiser is Princess Kang." ”

Even Wei Ruyi was about to smack her tongue now, although she didn't know much about the grade of the court, but these two had heard of it, and it was really dignified that they could come to the Ding'an Hou Mansion to give the eldest girl.

"In a while, His Royal Highnesses King Ning and King Kang will also come to the mansion." Old Madam He still didn't think it was enough, and continued.

Wei Ruyi was surprised and thought about it, it was just an ordinary ceremony, and it was indeed too grand to invite so many royal nobles to watch the ceremony, so what was the purpose?

Old Madam Yin didn't look surprised, she just smiled and said, "Why don't you see Miss Feng?" ”

Mrs. He said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm still changing clothes and dressing up, and I'll come out in a while." But he turned back to Wei Ruyi and said: "The second young grandmother has never been to this mansion, my niece is the most gentle and kind, and the second young grandmother is similar in temperament, and the age is not much different, you want to come and laugh in one place." ”

Wei Ruyi didn't expect that Old Madam He paid extra attention to herself, and also intended to let herself get close to Miss Feng, she was just the second daughter-in-law of the Yin family, when did she fall in love with them like this?

It's just that she is so enthusiastic about Mrs. He, she doesn't have to say anything, so she has to respond, and her heart is becoming more and more vigilant, this seemingly ordinary and polite etiquette clearly reveals an unusual atmosphere.
