Chapter 72: Making Peace
Ke Xiyuan married in the house for half a year, and for the first time suffered a cold face from her mother-in-law.
Thinking that I only returned home at the end of the second night of junior high school, I did some physical work again, but I didn't get up early in the morning of the third year of junior high school, and I went to my mother-in-law Xiao Shi to ask for peace at almost noon.
When she didn't want to walk to the entrance of the yard, Mama Liu said with a little embarrassment, "Mrs. said that she was not feeling well today, and she asked grandma to come another day!" ”
This is a phenomenon that has never happened before. For a long time, Xiao Shi has been very close to Ke Xiyuan, and likes to copy scriptures with Ke Xiyuan, even if they don't speak, the atmosphere between them is not bad.
It was the first time that Ke Xiyuan was stopped directly at the door like this.
Mama Liu's look Ke Xiyuan saw it in her eyes, she thought about it, and then said with a smile, "Mama, please tell my mother, my mother's brother said that he wanted to visit his mother, and he also wanted to ask his mother when she was free!" ”
Mama Liu nodded, "The slave will definitely do it!" ”
But after two days, Xiao still didn't see her. Ke Xiyuan thought, probably the whole mansion knew that he had eaten the closed door.
I couldn't help but sigh and put down the small clothes in my hand.
Lin Yueqing asked with a smile, "You can't stand this little thing?" My mother told me that my second aunt was the strangest, and although she didn't speak, her temper was the hardest! Ignore no one, don't say anything, just ignore it. But when you get better, there's nothing to do again! ”
"Mother has never been like this, I ......", Ke Xiyuan was still slightly overwhelmed in her heart. Although I heard that it has been difficult for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to coexist peacefully since ancient times, I didn't think there was any problem after watching Lu and Lu Jiarou, and then Hua and Lin Yueqing. In addition, during the period of marriage, the Xiao family was too indisputable. Ke Xiyuan didn't think there would be any problems.
Suddenly there was a problem, which made Ke Xiyuan still a little at a loss. The sudden attack was still a long time in her life, and she didn't know it at all. Her helplessness was because Xiao Shi avoided talking about it, so she didn't know where to start.
"Nothing! Come with me to my mother's house and see me! Lin Yueqing winked at Ke Xiyuan, signaling her to rest assured.
Ke Xiyuan saw Lin Yueqing's appearance. Seems to understand something. Nodding, still worried. Even if she sees it, if she throws her face on the spot. What about yourself?
Before she had a chance to think more, Lin Yueqing had already dragged Ke Xiyuan to Hua's place.
As soon as she arrived at Fahrenheit, Ke Xiyuan smelled the faint scent of sandalwood and knew that Xiao was here. Fahrenheit was a good man to Shaw. I don't smoke incense on weekdays, if Xiao comes over. Will definitely smoke sandalwood.
Ke Xiyuan was a little uneasy, but thinking that Hua and Lin Yueqing were on the side, Xiao shouldn't react much, right?
As soon as I entered, I heard Fahrenheit talking. "Brother and sister, it's not me who praises Yuanyuan. Although Qing'er is also caring, Qing'er is the most coarse person. Won't do these needlework. Look at your new shirts, shoes and socks, which ones don't stand out? The buttons of this dress are also beautifully buttoned! ”
Shaw was silent. Lin Yueqing pulled Ke Xiyuan and walked in with a smile, "I was not happy that my mother said bad things about Qingqing!" But compared to Yuanyuan, I'm not angry! Yuanyuan's craftsmanship is really good, not to mention embroidery, even the cutting craftsmanship, which really impresses me! ”
Lin Yueqing and Ke Xiyuan saluted the two of them respectively, and Lin Yueqing naturally sat next to Hua, and Ke Xiyuan also sat next to Xiao.
Ke Xiyuan saw that Xiao's face was a little embarrassed, so she smiled and asked, "Is there better for my mother?" I haven't been out these days, and my daughter-in-law remembers it very much! ”
Xiao Shi glanced at Ke Xiyuan, picked up the handkerchief and covered his mouth and coughed, "Elderly people, if you get a little wind at night, you just can't do it!" Rest assured, know that you have filial piety! ”
Ke Xiyuan glanced at Lin Yueqing quickly, thinking in his heart, sure enough, there was someone around him, so he immediately took the opportunity to say, "Why don't you accompany your mother to Renyuan Temple and ask the master or Mr. Wuliu to see the pulse?" ”
Xiao Shi's eyes lit up, thought about it, shook his head, and continued to turn the Buddha beads in his hand, "It's not good!" The master hasn't seen a lot of guests lately, so he shouldn't disturb his cultivation! ”
"I can still say a word or two in front of the master, and I have also bought new clothes for the two masters and gentlemen, and I am about to send them. Mother goes with me, if you can see the master, let the master take the pulse for you, and say a few words, it would be good! Ke Xiyuan knows that approaching people starts with doing what they like. She had the heart to deal with the Xiao family, so she naturally made use of all the resources in her hands.
Xiao Shi was really in a good mood and thought about it, "On the seventh day of the day after tomorrow, it is better for the ladies in our house to go into the mountain to petition for incense, so as to ensure a safe and smooth new year!" ”
Fahrenheit was also very happy, and glanced at Lin Yueqing, "I really want to go, I don't know ...... Qingqing's body"
"Where is it so delicate? I also want to go to the master and pray for the safety of the child in front of the Bodhisattva! Lin Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in her heart, in the end, it was not in vain that she and Hua's heart were not wasted, Ke Xiyuan was really a good hand at observing words and feelings, but in an instant, she grasped the scene.
Xiao Shi was rarely excited, and his plain white face was actually a little ruddy on weekdays, "Then let's say okay, on the morning of the seventh day of the new year, we will go to Renyuan Temple!" By the way, take our brother Hao with you! It is said that the master helped touch the bones, and the children were much healthier. After a pause, he frowned again, and said to Fahrenheit, "That...... Do you want to call the third brother and sister? ”
Fahrenheit shook his head decisively, "That carriage in the house is enough for the four of us!" In addition, the third brother and sister are busy visiting relatives in Duanwang's Mansion, so they can't ignore us! ”
"It is said that Princess Duan is pregnant again!" , Lin Yueqing said lightly.
Xiao snorted coldly, "If you want me to say, it's still our virtuous princess who is the best, the heirs of the mansion have grown steadily in recent years, and there are no words of discord!" ”
No one immediately picked up Xiao's words, because the three of them knew that none of the royal women were simple.
Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Xiao Shi didn't care, and asked Hua with a smile, "Sister-in-law, are you going to King Xian's Mansion?" ”
Fahrenheit waved his hand, "Although she is my daughter, she is now a royal wife." We have the proper etiquette, that's all! Fahrenheit said of his daughter, his heart was a little gloomy. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Princess Duan came back with a full shelf. As proud as the Liang family is, how proud they are. Openly and secretly accusing Princess Xian of not going home.
Because Princess Xian had already sent someone to send a New Year's gift and only to Fahrenheit's items back, Fahrenheit was relieved that her daughter still remembered herself. It's sad again. Because Princess Xian said that Concubine Yang in the house was pregnant, so she would not come back.
Fahrenheit is a woman herself, so how can she not understand this thing about women? What about sitting in the position of the princess? The two side concubines around him, one was canonized by Emperor Longqing himself, and the other was from Renyibo's mansion, and they were not people who could be beaten and scolded at will.
The virtuous king gets a virtuous word. As his wife. How can you be left behind? It's not that Fahrenheit doesn't feel sorry for his daughter, and it's not that he doesn't want to see his daughter.
But he went to the palace every time and saluted his daughter. There was also a person sent by Concubine De to serve her daughter on the side, and she was very distressed when she saw her daughter's distressed but patient look.
Princess Xian gave birth to a daughter and a son, which can be regarded as giving birth to the princess's son-in-law. But there is the eldest son born to Concubine Yang above.
Although she is one and the other, Concubine Yang is also gentle and lovely. But as a member of the royal family, what is the future to ...... Fahrenheit couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and could only watch from the sidelines, it was best not to get entangled in it. She hadn't forgotten about it. She is the Lady of the Faithful Uncle's Mansion!
Fang Cai's good mood immediately diluted a lot, and Fahrenheit also became a little embarrassed.
Ke Xiyuan didn't expect her mother-in-law Xiao to be so unable to speak, and she was shocked. A person who has not been in contact with people for a long time. And how can you speak?
Ke Xiyuan said with a smile, "I'll go back and listen to my third sister." Concubine Yang wrote back to the house, saying that Princess Xian was extremely virtuous, and she always used her aunt to teach everyone. Come to think of it, Niangniang must have a very good relationship with her aunt. Even if she is a royal wife, she will not forget the teachings of her aunt when she was at home! ”
Fahrenheit's face really looked much better, and he couldn't help but smile, "That kid, I just like this!" Whatever I taught her, it was her own creation! ”
Xiao Shi also knew that he seemed to have said something wrong, and he was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but feel that Ke Xiyuan really helped her.
Lin Yueqing saw that the discussion was about the same, so she stood up, "Mother, second aunt, I am going to serve the little ancestor in my belly again." However, I still have to borrow Yuanyuan from the second aunt, I can't leave her now! ”
"Go, go, go! Your second aunt is the most generous, you just have to ask her daughter-in-law to cook food for you! When Yuanyuan is pregnant in the future, it's time for your sister-in-law to contribute! ”
Lin Yueqing covered her mouth and said to Yuanyuan with a smile, "Look at it! I don't know, I thought my mother was your mother-in-law! Guarding you like this! ”
A few more people laughed a few words, and Lin Yueqing and Ke Xiyuan walked out.
Walking away, Ke Xiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it's okay!" ”
"Say it! On the night of the second year of junior high school, where did the two go? actually provoked the second aunt to lose her temper so much? Lin Yueqing was also curious, how could such a good-tempered Xiao lose his temper.
"We just went boating, eating fish, and where did we go! However, maybe my mother blamed me for not coming back to say hello to her, and I was angry! Ke Xiyuan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
"Call you stupid, sometimes you're smart; Call you smart, but I can't convince myself! Yuanyuan, things are definitely not that simple! You didn't check it out that day? Lin Yueqing has been at home for a long time, and she knows that there is no love for no reason and no hate for no reason. Although Ke Xiyuan is smart and sleek, she is not sophisticated enough.
Ke Xiyuan shook her head, "On the night of the second year of junior high school, the second master sent Ruian back home to inform his mother. When we returned home in the evening, Ryan didn't say anything unusual about my mother. The next day, I went to ask for peace and ate a closed door, could there be anything else? ”
While talking, he also arrived at Lin Yueqing's courtyard. Lin Yueqing shook her head helplessly, and dragged Ke Xiyuan into her courtyard.
The two sat down, and Lin Yueqing said, "I have been married for a few years, and the second aunt has never taken care of the second uncle or the second uncle." And the second uncle had dinner at night, basically came to our big room, not with the second aunt. The second aunt is used to being a vegetarian, and I understood it this way at first, but later I found out that she simply ignored Yiqiē! ”
Lin Yueqing took a breath, took a glass of water and took a sip, "The only two things that surprised me were that she would come to the door in person to ask you to marry!" And then the other thing is her attitude towards you on the day of the tea ceremony. She's cold to everyone, but you, for some reason, are so enthusiastic. You also know that either tonic soup or going to the Buddha finally made me feel like a mother! ”
"She is like this, and she suddenly gets cold again, and she will definitely not come back for dinner because of you! There must be something else that you need to find out right away! Yuanyuan, the second aunt is a kind of person, love and hate are too clear, if you don't figure it out, your future life will be very tired! ”
Ke Xiyuan was very touched that Lin Yueqing could speak to herself like this, these words were very useful to herself, and she also alerted herself. What seems to be a normal qiē turns out to be really abnormal.
But what's wrong? Ke Xiyuan squinted her eyes and pondered in front of Lin Yueqing without hesitation.
Lin Yueqing saw Ke Xiyuan facing it squarely, so she leaned on the couch and picked up the book with a smile. In this long backhouse life, there is such a concubine by her side, she should not be lonely. It's good to have her! Lin Yueqing thought so.
Ke Xiyuan thought for a long time and spoke up, "Qiqiao, go and call Ryan over, I have something to ask!" ”
Lin Yueqing squinted over, and her eyes were full of satisfaction. I thought in my heart, after all, he is a smart person, and he can understand it at one point.
After a while, Ryan greeted Ann outside the curtain.
"Grandma, the second master didn't bring a letter back today! But the New Year should be back early! Rui An'an muttered to the bottom of his heart, what are these two grandmothers looking for themselves?
Ke Xiyuan shook his head, "That's how your master taught you the rules?" Before I could speak, you spoke on your own? ”
When Ryan heard this, he hurriedly knelt down, "Grandma forgive your sins!" It's all minions who don't understand the rules, and it's none of the second master's business! The minion knows that he is wrong! Ryan couldn't help wiping her sweat, why is the second grandmother so powerful today?
"Just, get up! You've been serving by the second master's side for so long, you're an old man, I shouldn't punish you! However, there is something I don't understand, and I want to ask you! Ke Xiyuan thinks that this Ryan is too lively, could it be that he has said the wrong thing?
"Grandma just ask! As long as the slave knows, the slave must say! Ryan was so anxious to die, he was used to being lazy around Zhou Chenyu, how did he know that this grandmother was so powerful.
"I was boating with my second master that day, how did you tell my wife when you returned home?"
Ryan didn't expect Ke Xiyuan to ask this, and hurriedly said, "The slave said that the second master said that there were lanterns at night, and he wanted to take grandma to see it!" The wife didn't react, but only told the slave to continue to go back and follow the two, and pay attention to the safety of the two! ”
It's a normal conversation, no problem, huh? Ke Xiyuan frowned, thought for a while and continued to ask, "Who was next to him at that time?" ”
Because it was snowing that day, the wife let the servant go in and answer. There are only Mrs., the third lady and Mama Liu in the house! Ryan didn't know Ke Xiyuan's intentions, and he didn't dare to drop a word.
Three Misses! Ke Xiyuan and Lin Yueqing glanced at each other quickly, and each other's eyes were full of shock!
"Well done on your errand! There are some broken silver in Qiqiao, take it to tea with your brothers! Ke Xiyuan's eyes flashed and he waved Ruian away.
Is there her again? Is it a coincidence or what? Ke Xiyuan's fists tightened a little. (To be continued)
