Chapter 10 Calculation
The brazier that was put on last night has been extinguished this morning. The autumn frost rose sharply, and the warm breath rose, dispelling the chill in the room. With the basin held by Dongxue and the spittoon held by Xia Xi, Hong Qi washed her face, rinsed her mouth, and combed her hair by the spring breeze.
"In the morning, don't I have to go to the old lady and the fourth lady?"
Hong Qi asked, under the impression that the juniors in ancient times seemed to have to save the elders every day. Hemp is a little troublesome, but since it has come to this era, it is necessary to live like the people of this era and integrate into it. Red Seven didn't intend to be an outlier.
"The old lady prays to the Buddha every day, so she is exempted from this rule. If the old lady wants to see someone, she will naturally send her sister to inform her. β
Chunlan's voice was more respectful and humble than before.
"What about the fourth wife? If I'm not mistaken, Mrs. Fourth seems to be my mother, right? β
Hong Qi remembers that she seems to have heard someone talk about it at some point, but when she met with the fourth wife yesterday, whether it was the fourth wife or the red Jiu who should be her sister, it didn't seem to be too hot. β
Chunlan's hand paused, and she was silent for a moment before she whispered softly: "Fourth Mrs., Miss has always been there and she doesn't go if she has nothing to do before." β
"Why?"
Hong Qi asked curiously.
Chunfeng looked at the position of the hairpin in the mirror, looked at Hongqi's face, and only saw pure curiosity, so he breathed a sigh of relief. But he didn't dare to be careless, and said carefully: "Mrs. is not the biological mother of the young lady, but the stepfamily of the master." Miss Nine is the half-sister of Miss Nine. β
In this way, Red Seven understands.
She nodded.
"Go on, tell me all about the main people in this house, and what my relationship was with them before."
The spring breeze is eloquent, her mind is clear and organized, and the relationships one after another are clearly explained by her. Hong Qi listened carefully, and a morning passed like this.
Looking at the morning of the rest of the Red family, what about it?
Hongba woke up in the warm embrace of the third wife.
The warm quilt, as well as her mother's warm and affectionate embrace, made her lazy and didn't want to get up at all. Hong Qi relied on this for a long time before yesterday's events entered her mind.
Hong Qi's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Hmm, mother's little baby, don't be afraid ......"
As soon as Hongba moved, the third lady woke up, hugged her into her arms, gently shook her body, and hummed a gentle lullaby in her mouth. Red Eight's trembling slowly stopped.
It's just that her heart is still worried.
"Mother, what should I do? I scratched the green parrot's face, and everyone saw it. What to do? If it spreads, everyone will definitely say that I am vicious, the third son will not want me, others will not want me, I will definitely not be able to get married, and my grandmother will get tired of me and send me to be a sister-in-law. Mother, I don't want to be a sister-in-law, I don't want it! If I am allowed to be my sister-in-law, I might as well die. β
Only then did Hong Qi think of the consequences, and he became scared and angry.
"Silly girl, how could my mother let you be a sister-in-law? Rest assured, as long as there is a mother, no one can let you be a sister-in-law. Don't forget, your eldest brother-in-law is the king of Runan, and the second brother-in-law is the second son of the Marquis of Ningyuan's family. Even the old lady didn't dare to disobey them. β
The third lady hurriedly comforted.
"Really?"
Red Seven's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true."
The third lady is definitely authentic.
"However, my reputation is ruined, I can't marry the third son, and other good people won't want me. If I marry a messy person, I might as well be a sister-in-law. β
Once he is not afraid, Hongba has a negative airway.
"Silly girl, with your mother, how can you let others make irresponsible remarks about you? Rest assured, I silenced everyone and told the green parrot as well. Her face was accidentally scratched by herself, and it has nothing to do with you. Whoever asks, she will say the same, unless, she doesn't want her own and her mother's life. β
The third lady patted Honghachi's back and said so, a cold light flashed in her eyes. Her daughter will have an incomparably bright future, and whoever dares to destroy it, she will never spare her.
Hongba was overjoyed, hugged the third wife tightly, and said coquettishly: "I know that my mother is the best for me." β
"It's good to know." The third lady nodded her forehead, pushed her away, looked at each other, and said, "But you have to promise your mother one thing, in the future, you must not do it again." You know, it's okay once, if there is such a thing again, even if it is a mother, it may not be able to hide it. β
"I see, mother, I promise."
Honghachi raised his hand and asked mischievously, "Do you want me to swear?" β
"Ghost girl."
The third lady laughed. He added: "There is one more thing, you must also depend on me." β
"What's the matter?"
"The green parrot is gone, you have one less person here. Let Mother Nie be by your side instead of the green parrot and serve you! β
Nie's mother is the confidant brought by the third wife from her mother's house, and she is very much used by the third wife, and the family affairs are said to be in charge of the third wife, in fact, most of them are handled by Nie's mother, and she is capable and loyal, which is a little stricter.
When Hongba saw her, he was a little frightened in his heart, and he had always been able to avoid her.
Hearing what the third wife said, she was suddenly miserable, and her little face wrinkled. But it was not easy to oppose it bluntly, so he said: "Mother Nie gave it to me, what should my mother do?" Mother can't live without Mother Nie. I have white pigeons, purple kites, and red raccoons. If my mother really cares for me, just pick one of them for me. β
"Yanran, they can't stop you, the monkey. Don't say it, it's okay for Mother Nie. β
The third lady touched her head and made the final decision.
Hongba had a bitter face, but looking at the third wife's face, he also knew that there was no room for bargaining in this matter, so he had to agree. Let's talk about Red Seven again.
"Why is it good at this time? This time, I'm definitely out of play. She's all right, and she doesn't need to change relatives. β
Thinking of this, Hongba was very depressed.
The third lady smiled and said, "That's not likely." β
Red Eight's eyes lit up.
"Mother, do you have a way?"
"Look at your urgency." The third wife shook her head: "It is said that the big woman is not stayed, and she stays here and then stays to become an enemy." The ancients did not deceive me. Look at you, have you seen the third son? Or have you spoken? Why did a heart fly over? β
"Everyone else says yes. Moreover, that is the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, the first surname in Jiangnan. There are six emperors and seven first assistants, so there is no need to mention any Shangshu and Shilang. The door is full of eunuchs, there is no white ding, and the protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world. is the king of Runan who was married by the eldest sister, and the dignity can't catch up, but the nobility is not as good as the Zhou family. Moreover, I married him, but my wife is better than being a stepsister than a big sister. Besides, how old is King Runan? How old is the third son? β
Red Eight counted the benefits of Wednesday Childe with his fingers.
After all, since she was a child, she has always been compared to her sister, and many people in the world say that she is inferior. It is inevitable that I am more energetic in my heart, and I don't want to marry worse than my sister. There is also a heavy thought that these three sons were originally from Red Seven, if they can snatch it, doesn't that prove that Red Seven is not as good as her?
After counting the benefits one by one, Hongba asked eagerly: "Mother, what do you do?" β
"When Mother Jiang came yesterday, she didn't see the seventh sister, and she didn't know how she was okay. As long as the old lady has not changed her mind, there is much to be done in this matter. I'll go back and freshen up, and I'll go see the old lady. β
"What about me?"
Red asked, dumbfounded.
"You," the third lady thought for a moment and said, "Go and watch Red Seven." Don't let her go out, let the people outside know she's fine. If this news spreads, then I will be a Buddha, and I will have no choice. β
"Then you hurry up to the old lady, and the seventh sister will have me there."
Red Eight hurriedly urged.
On the other hand, Hong Jiu also went to see the fourth wife early in the morning, and then the fourth wife went to the second wife. The second wife lives in the Green Garden, which is full of bamboo. Even though it's winter, I don't know what method the second wife used to plant it, and the bamboos are so green that they seem to stay here in spring.
The fourth wife brought the second wife's favorite Longjing to her, and asked the second wife to send the girls down, and she was not polite, so she talked about the change of parents.
The relationship between these two people seems to be much better than that of the outside.
The second lady dipped her finger in the tea and wrote a few words on the table.
"Hide from the world."
"Old lady."
Her opinion was strikingly consistent with that of the third wife.
Here is trying to change relatives, but over there, they are trying to cancel this family affair, and they have to be high-sounding, they still have to occupy the reason, and they want the woman to give up on their own initiative.
Such an almost impossible thing to do, Zhou's grandmother Xiao Jia really came up with a way for her.
It's just that Da Jia listened to it, but he didn't sleep well all night. No, when she woke up in the morning, her eyes were bloodshot, amazingly red, and her spirit was also sluggish.
Lord Mei of the county was invited by a friend last night to climb the mountain and watch the stars, and returned overnight. He took advantage of the excitement and talked with three or two like-minded friends at night, so happy, and now he is happy, although he can't sleep all night, but he is full of energy and refreshed. Seeing Mrs. in such a situation, he was taken aback and asked, "Why is Madame's face like this?" Can you get a doctor? β
Their husband and wife have a very strong relationship, and when he saw Da Jia's like this, he was anxious, and even his face changed.
Da Jia was holding his forehead with one hand and pressing his temple with the other. Hearing this, he shook his head.
"How do you people serve, the lady is like this, you don't even invite a doctor, what's the use of asking you?"
Master Mei's face was extremely ugly, and he reprimanded loudly, and hurriedly ordered someone to ask for a doctor.
Da Jia Shi hurriedly stopped him, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not sick, it's heart." β
Master Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and her face improved, not sick. Da Jia's don't look at the appearance of richness, but the body foundation is not very good. If you don't get sick, it's enough, and if you get sick, it's not easy to get better.
After relieving his heart, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Madame, if you have any heart problems, hurry up and listen to your husband, and wait for your husband to solve it for you." β
