131 And there came moths
Yingluo wanted to arrange for Su Jinghua and King Qiyang to meet, and the first thing she had to do was to let the old lady lift the ban on her.
She was still looking for an opportunity, not wanting to be early the next morning, but the Changping Hou Mansion sent good news, but it was the eldest aunt Su Yingqiong who added a third son to the Changping Hou Shi Zi in the early morning, and the Changping Hou Mansion came to report the good news, and invited the old lady to take the ladies of the Ding'an Hou Mansion to the Changping Hou Mansion three days later to participate in the three baptismal ceremonies.
Su Yingqiong has been raised by the old lady's side, and she is the first child of the Hou family's generation, at that time, the Song family had just married, it was when the old lady loved the Song family, plus Su Yingqiong's appearance was the most similar to the old lady among several granddaughters, and she herself was a smart and stable character, which was very likable, so the combination of various factors made Su Yingqiong always the old lady's most beloved granddaughter.
Even if Su Yingqiong has been married for many years, the old lady does not forget to send any good things to the Marquis of Changping. This time the three rooms entered Beijing, because Su Yingqiong was pregnant, but the month was already very large, and the pregnancy was not very stable, so she was never allowed to go back to her parents' house by Mrs. Changping Hou, Su Yingyue went to Changping Hou's Mansion to see this big sister, Yingluo and Su Yingzi as concubines, probably Su Yingyue had something to say to Su Yingqiong, for fear that they would get in the way, but they did not let them accompany at that time.
This time, Su Yingqiong gave birth to a son again, and the old lady was naturally very happy, and immediately became less ill, and ordered the ladies of the Hou Mansion to go to the Changping Hou Mansion to participate in the three baptisms.
Su Yingying calculated the matter of the Great Power Temple, firstly, she wanted to harm Yingluo's reputation was ruined, and she was burdened with the reputation of good envy, and then she expected that Qingtong, the Tongfang Given Anhou Mansion, would find the door before she passed the door, and it was said that Yingluo and Chi Jingyi's family affairs would have twists and turns.
But she didn't expect a turmoil to easily let Yingluo dodge it, not only failed to ruin Yingluo's reputation, but instead fulfilled her good name, and failed to cause any twists and turns in Yingluo and Chi Jingyi's family affairs.
Su Yingying was furious for a while, and secretly scolded Yingluo for being a useless ancient woman, and she could endure such a thing. If it were her, where would she be able to tolerate the passage of the house, and she would not let things pass so easily.
It's just that although Su Yingying failed to achieve her goal in this matter, the old lady hated Yingluo in her heart, and her anger at Su Yingying was much less, and the ban on Su Yingying was lifted. also instructed Su Yingying to follow the ladies of the Mansion to the Changping Marquis Mansion to participate in the three baptismal ceremonies. lifted the grounding of her in advance, which can be regarded as an unintentional insertion of willows.
Yingluo is thinking that after three days, all the ladies of the Hou Mansion will go to the Changping Hou Mansion to participate in the three baptisms, and then she can secretly go out of the mansion to arrange Su Jinghua's affairs, but she doesn't want her to think well, but some people refuse to give her a clean mind.
But in the evening of the same day, Su Yingyue, who had been recuperating from her illness, went out of the courtyard and went to fix the old lady in the morning and dusk, and also presented a newly made forehead.
The dark red brocade surface is finely embroidered with dark green pine crane patterns, the needlework is dense, and the work is bright, and it is full of thought at a glance. Su Yingyue is the daughter of the third room, and since returning to the capital, the old lady has felt guilty because of the Song family and Su Yingzhen's affairs, and she has a lot of love for Su Yingyue.
Seeing Su Yingyue's haggard pitiful, the old lady took her into her arms and stroked the back of her hand, and sighed: "I'm sick, what are you doing with such work, can your filial grandmother still understand?" Last time, your father punished you heavily for such a trivial matter, but it hurts you for being sick for so long because of the wind and cold, and it really hurts your grandmother's heart. ”
Su Yingyue smiled softly and said, "I did something wrong last time, my father was disappointed in me, and I should be punished." Although I was sick, I also heard that my grandmother had been sick on the couch, and I only felt like my grandmother and grandchildren, and I was not at peace every day, and I always wanted to come and serve the decoction, but unfortunately the more anxious my body was, the more I was angry. I can't serve my grandmother like other sisters, so I embroidered this forehead for my grandmother, just to show filial piety, and my grandmother doesn't dislike her granddaughter's bad work. ”
The old lady thought that Su Yingyue was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, but she couldn't stop Su Dingwen because of her anger and hatred, for the sake of Yingluo's kind of bastard, she actually saw that Su Yingyue's filial granddaughter had suffered for so long The grievances and sufferings for such a long time, she didn't feel even more guilty in her heart, seeing that Su Yingyue not only didn't have a grudge, but also this filial piety, she took Su Yingyue's hand and praised it very much, and said: "Let's stay and accompany my grandmother to eat today and go back." ”
Su Yingyue responded with a smile, she accompanied the old lady to talk and inevitably talked about going to participate in her sister's baptism three days later, and said: "I don't have any good things to add to my little nephew, so I only put a small long-life lock, although it is not very valuable, it can be held in a small and delicate way." I don't know what the fifth sister and the seventh sister are going to give their little nephews to add pots, they are always concubines, only I am the sister-in-law of my brother's sister-in-law, if this potting gift is not as good as the two sisters, it will not be like it. ”
When the old lady heard this, her smile immediately retracted, and she said in a deep voice: "Your seventh sister is going, only your fifth sister has been grounded by her grandmother, that evil obstacle, and let her stay in the mansion before she gets married, grandmother is not ready to take her to the Changping Hou Mansion to block your eldest sister." ”
Su Yingyue was surprised when she heard this, as if she had just realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she should not mention Yingluo, who had made the old lady sick, so she hurriedly got up and knelt on her feet, and said, "It was the granddaughter who said the wrong thing and made the grandmother angry." ”
Seeing that she was honestly frightened, the old lady couldn't say more, so she hurriedly pulled up Su Yingyue and said, "Look at you child, grandmother is not angry at you, why did she panic like this, she was really wronged, and even her temperament became weak." ”
Su Yingyue took the opportunity to sit next to the old lady again, with a hesitant face, and finally persuaded her: "Grandmother, granddaughter thinks that grandmother should lift the grounding of the fifth sister." ”
Seeing that the old lady was surprised, her face was slightly gloomy, Su Yingyue said anxiously: "The granddaughter didn't intercede for the fifth sister, the fifth sister made the grandmother angry, the grandmother punished her, and the granddaughter also knew what was right and wrong, how could she intercede for such a rebellious daughter?" The granddaughter is all for the sake of the old lady, although the granddaughter has been recuperating in the yard, but she has also heard some things outside. Now everyone is rumoring, saying that the Chi family donated 800,000 taels of silver for the snow disaster, and even the emperor of the early dynasty was full of praise for the Chi family, and also let the Xuanhe Hall under the name of the Chi family replace the Huichun Hall, the Chi family is now the time to cook oil on fire, many noble mansions are responding to the emperor's praise of the Chi family, competing to donate silver and materials, this time the eldest sister's little nephew washed three ceremonies, the noble ladies of the various mansions gathered, and when the time comes, we must talk about the snow disaster, talking about donating silver and the Chi family on the cusp of the storm, And the fifth sister has been engaged to the young master Chi, so she will naturally be brought up and concerned, and the eldest sister is our sister-in-law, but the fifth sister has not attended such an occasion, and she knows that she will naturally not say anything, but she is afraid that there will be any rumors and rumors, and then the granddaughter is only afraid that her grandmother will be angry again. ”
Su Yingyue's words made Ma's heart slightly shocked, she originally hated Yingluo, and didn't want to take Yingluo out again, so naturally she didn't think much about it, but now after listening to Su Yingyue's words, she was secretly on fire, knowing that this time she had to lift the ban on Yingluo and go to the Marquis of Changping's mansion.
For a while, Ma's heart was uncomfortable, and he felt that there was nothing she could do about Yingluo, Yingluo made her angry and bedridden, stirring up a mess in the house, and she couldn't be at peace, but now she is a grandmother who can't even ban her feet, what is this like!
Su Yingyue saw that the old lady had obviously been moved, but she was clearly unwilling to do anything, and without saying a word, she persuaded again: "The girls want to participate in the banquets in various provinces, but they are all to show up more, so that they can spread their reputation, and they are just a good family matter." Now that the fifth sister has been engaged, it doesn't make much sense to attend such a baptism, not to mention that the fifth sister is afraid that the big sister will not like her because of what happened before, and the Changping Hou Mansion is the home of the big sister, the fifth sister said that she didn't want to go at all, and she was happy to be grounded by her grandmother and punished at home. Now that her grandmother has lifted her ban and taken her to the Changping Marquis Mansion, the eldest sister will naturally not be as knowledgeable as her, but she has to be afraid, so it can be regarded as a punishment for her. ”
Ma Shi's face turned pale when he heard this, and he softened his voice and said: "Okay, your grandmother understands what you have imagined for your grandmother, and after a while, grandmother sent someone to Qiushui Courtyard to spread the word to relieve the five girls' grounding, and ordered her to go to the Changping Marquis Mansion in three days." That is, you, you are really soft-hearted, and you can intercede for her regardless of your previous suspicions. ”
Su Yingyue smiled shyly, took the old lady's arm and said, "I'm thinking about my grandmother, where is it for her." ”
In Qiushui Courtyard, Shuang Xing entered the house with a smile and said crisply: "Girl, good news, the old lady has just lifted the girl's ban, and the girl will accompany her to the Changping Marquis Mansion to participate in the three baptisms three days later." ”
Yingluo was sitting on the beauty couch idly flipping through a medical book, and when she heard the words, she raised her eyes to look at Shuangxing, her heart was depressed, and she wondered very much.
The three baptisms of the Changping Marquis Mansion, she only thought that she could avoid it because of the grounding, but she didn't expect the Ma family to lift her ban, but why.
Yingluo had just the right smile and surprise on her face, and said, "Really? The old lady punished me for being grounded for less than two days, so why did the ban suddenly be lifted. ”
Shuang Xing said with a smile: "Today, the three girls went to Fulu Courtyard to accompany the old lady for dinner, and the three girls left the old lady to relieve the girl's ban, and it must have been the third girl who said good things for the girl." ”
Yingluo raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard this, and then said with a complicated face: "The third sister has always disliked me, how can I ...... it now?"
She muttered, her voice gradually faded, but Shuang Xing also restrained her smile, frowned slightly, and said: "Last time, the third girl was punished and disgusted by the third master for framing the girl, and now she is so easy to recover from her illness and go out to walk around, she shouldn't beat the girl's idea again, right?" That Changping Marquis Mansion is the land of the eldest aunt and grandmother, if something happened to the girl there, it would be difficult for the eldest aunt and the third girl to figure it out, how could the third master not blame them? So the slave maid thought that the third girl was supposed to show the third master that she had repented, so she interceded in front of the old lady for the girl. ”
Yingluo looked approving when she heard this, looked at Shuangxing, and said, "You're right, I'm thinking too much." Good girl, it's hard for you to be so thoughtful, mention it to me, otherwise I have to be worried. ”
Shuang Xing unconsciously blushed, and said: "The girl is the heart and liver of the crystal exquisite, where you need the slave maid to mention something, the girl makes fun of the slave maid." ”
As she spoke, she walked to the kitchen cabinet, opened the cabinet, took out a few winter clothes that had never been made by Yingluo, placed them on the stepping bed one by one, compared them with the matching colors, and said: "The Hou Mansion of Changping is not as good as our Ding'an Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hou is a person who pays attention to rules and etiquette, and the Hou Mansion of Changping is rich and noisy. This time the dress is done properly, the girl can also leave a good impression, the girl gets to know more famous ladies, and when she marries into the Chi family, she can be more valued. ”
Shuang Xing said and pointed out the three sets of clothes to Yingluo, and said: "Girl, take a look, this rose red set is better than the delicate and festive, this autumn fragrance color is more gentle and elegant, this set of water blue clothes is fresh and comfortable, and it must be good-looking, which set does the girl like?" ”
Yingluo glanced at the three sets of clothes but was not very interested, and only waved her hand and said: "I look very good, it's still three days, it's still early, just choose a set to wear when the time comes." ”
Shuangxing disagreed, and said: "Then where is it, although there are still three days, but when it comes to the day when it comes to the hurry, where can it be cleaned up." The girl is now chosen, and she has to choose what kind of bun she will comb according to her clothes, what kind of hairpin to wear, what kind of hairpin to wear, what accessories to wear, what kind of cape to wear, and which pair of boots to wear...... Even the makeup of the painting has to try a few more, the girl has lost some weight this month, and the clothes are just added when it snows, but I am afraid that the waist is not suitable, and the slave maid has to modify it in these two days, and I have to carefully smoke it on the incense cage for a day. Yun Mom, do you say? ”
Shuang Xing said, and when she saw that Mother Yun had brought Brother Miao into the house, she asked with a smile.
Mother Yun and Brother Miao obviously also learned about Yingluo's lifting of the ban, and they both had smiles on their faces, and when they heard this, Mother Yun said: "What Shuangxing said is that if the girl wants to go to the Changping Hou Mansion, she needs to prepare in advance, otherwise she won't be busy at that time." ”
Shuangxing smiled and turned around and pulled Yingluo to the front of the stepping bed and repeatedly persuaded her to choose a set, Yingluo was urged by her, so she took a few more glances and chose the rose-red one.
Shuangxing pulled Yingluo to try on the clothes, sat in front of the dresser and selected the head for her with Brother Miao, and after a while, she chose a gold silk inlaid red treasure tassel step shake, a gold box cat's eye tassel oblique hairpin, two gold inlaid jade treasure butterfly flower pressure sideburns, and a tired silk exquisite hairpin. There were gold earrings that picked out ruby upside-down lotus flowers, and Shuang Xing put away all the hair accessories she had selected separately, and went out happily with her clothes.
Yingluo looked at her back thoughtfully, her fingers tapping a few times on the dresser.
Although her clothes are taken care of by Shuang Xing on weekdays, and Shuang Xing arranges these things when she goes out on weekdays, Yingluo always feels that Shuang Xing attaches a little too much importance to this time, although her expression is not obvious, but it still makes Yingluo's intuition not quite right.
Shuangxing is the person who is rewarded by the old lady, although there is no flaw in the frost apricot table in Chuyi Pavilion last time, she is also cautious, respectful and thoughtful in serving in the Qiushui Courtyard for such a long time, and there has never been a mistake, but Yingluo still can't believe her.
Such a perfect frost apricot makes Yingluo feel more and more fake, how can people not make mistakes, unless they are always in a state of caution and combat readiness.
Shuang Xing has never made a small mistake, which can only show that she has never regarded herself as the master, but is acting at any time to try to coax her trust.
"Girl, could there be some conspiracy in this? Would the third girl really be so kind and intercede for the girl? Just to redeem the favor of the lord and express remorse to the lord? Mother Yun couldn't help but worry when she saw Yingluo's distraction.
Yingluo's eyes turned to Yun's mother and said, "The third sister is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, who knows what she has in mind." ”
But it's okay now, she doesn't have to think about letting the old lady lift her ban, the Changping Marquis Mansion is also a military merit, different from the Ding'an Marquis Mansion, now it is considered to be prosperous, the son-in-law of the prince has been baptized three times, presumably by then, General Zhenwei's Mansion, as well as the Qiyang Palace, are all going to go, so there is no need to deliberately arrange it, as long as you ask Sheng Chengyi to figure out the whereabouts of the King of Qiyang, and let Su Jinghua wait for the rabbit.
"Girl, then there may be something waiting for the girl in the Changping Marquis Mansion, or the girl will pretend to be sick and hide from it that day, right?" Mother Yun's worried voice came.
Yingluo smiled and said: "The left and right soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, and when the time comes, I will bother my mother to check the clothes and jewelry prepared by Shuangxing, and don't go wrong." If we are all soldiers, wouldn't it be a futile joke to pretend to be sick? If they really have a plan, I can't hide from pretending to be sick. Mom's rest assured is that I was so isolated and helpless in Suizhou earlier, and I am still not afraid, and now I will not be timid. ”
