339: Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
Aunt Lin's wife lives in Tingzhuyuan, which is the most remote and quiet place in Zhuangzi.
Before Xia Ruan entered the Tingzhu Garden, he saw a lot of bamboo planted outside the courtyard.
She stopped, looked at this bamboo sea, and was slightly stunned.
Seeing that Xia Ruan was not leaving, Du Ruo also raised his head to look at the surrounding environment, and said tentatively: "Does Madame also like bamboo?" ”
"It's okay, but I don't really like bamboo." Xia Ruan stretched out his hand and pulled the bamboo leaves, a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The bamboo is too rigid and easy to break." ”
When Du Ruo saw Xia Ruan say this, he thought that Xia Ruan had thought of Xuanying's matter, so he quickly changed the topic: "Madam, don't you think that these bamboos are different from what we see on weekdays?" Feel...... It feels like it's been brushed with a layer of gold dust, and it's really beautiful. ”
Xia Ruan looked at the bamboo forest that Du Ruo was looking at with a smile, and even Du Ruo could see how expensive this bamboo was, how could she not guess it.
"This is called gold-inlaid jade bamboo, which is a treasure in bamboo." Xia Ruan pointed to the branches and leaves and told Du Ruo, "The most curious thing about it is that when you look at it from a distance, it looks like a piece of jasper inlaid on a gold bar, and some people call it 'gold inlaid with bamboo'." ”
Du Ruo was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but glance at the endless bamboo a few more times, trying to calm himself down: "This ...... How much silver does this piece cost? ”
In Du Ruo's eyes, this bamboo forest is a place paved with silver.
"Even if you have silver, you can't necessarily buy it." After Xia Ruan finished speaking, he continued to walk towards Aunt Lin's courtyard.
She would know about these bamboos because Tang Jingxuan's third brother Tang Jingfan was an elegant person in her previous life. He has always liked these bamboos. There are a lot of strange bamboos planted in the yard, and even some of them are specially bought by him from the Western Regions. It's just that later, something like that happened to Tang Jingfan and Tang Jingxuan, and Tang Jingfan disappeared in the capital.
Speaking of which, Tang Jingfan is also an extremely smart man, but it is a pity that he met a brother like Tang Jingxuan, and he didn't let go of his brother's favorite woman.
Xia Ruan couldn't help but glance at the surrounding bamboo again, frowning slightly.
Mrs. Lin was born in a martial arts family, which is different from ordinary women in the boudoir, and she has never paid attention to these elegant things. But this piece of bamboo sea. Apparently someone carefully selected to send it. Otherwise, how could there be so many expensive bamboos?
Mother Lu soon greeted her, with a smile on her face: "Madame is here, Mrs. Lin has been waiting for you." ”
Xia Ruan also smiled and talked to Mother Lu: "Aunt Lin is living here, okay?" ”
"Good, good. All is well. Mother Lu turned around and led the way. Mrs. Lin is quiet. It's natural to live here. ”
Xia Ruan stopped and glanced back at the bamboo sea behind him: "The bamboo forest here is so beautiful, it's the first time I've seen so many bamboos." ”
Mother Lu's expression was slightly sluggish. Soon he smiled and said, "Madame is pregnant now, you must be careful." It's cold today, and the old slave has already burned charcoal in the house, so Madame hurry into the house to keep warm. ”
Lu's mother avoided answering this, and Xia Ruan quickly remembered it, but she didn't continue to ask this question.
The affairs of the Lin family are not as simple as she thought.
It's just that she doesn't know anything about the Lin family.
In Aunt Lin's yard, a lot of flowers and plants were planted, and there were two little girls standing outside the courtyard, so there were no other people waiting for them. Mrs. Lin doesn't like to be noisy, so she doesn't need so many people around to serve her, and the only person who has been with Mrs. Lin over the years is this Mother Lu.
In the past, Chun'er's affairs, Mother Lu also sent a lot of things to Xia Ruan on behalf of Aunt Lin to deter people.
Mother Lu pushed open the door, and Xia Ruan slowly walked into the house.
There was a strong smell of sandalwood in the room, and cigarette smoke filled the room. Xia Ruan subconsciously covered her nose, she was not used to such a strong taste, and spices did not have much good impression of her.
In the past, in the house, those concubines fought fiercely in private in order to compete for favor. Someone poisoned the food to harm other concubines who were pregnant, and the more powerful thing was to put musk in the spices...... She had never been pregnant before, and Tang Jingxuan rarely brought her to the house, so her yard was relatively quiet.
But there are too many people of all kinds, and she has seen too much, so she is numb.
If you pity others and are unwilling to do it, it does not mean that others will pity you and will not harm you. Therefore, sometimes, too much kindness is the weapon to harm oneself.
Mother Lu saw Xia Ruan's movements, and her brows were also slightly furrowed.
"Xiao Ruan is here?" Mrs. Lin held the rosary in her hand and smiled kindly, "Mother Lu, go and bring the pastries I made in the small kitchen early this morning and give them to Madame to taste." ”
Mother Lu nodded, and then retreated,
Although Mrs. Lin was born in a martial arts family, she is petite and charming. Even if he is old now, there is still not much vicissitudes on his face.
"This is a pastry I made myself, you can try it." After Mother Lu brought the pastries, Aunt Lin asked people to put the pastries in front of Xia Ruan, "When Ah Jiu was young, he loved to eat the pastries I made. But that would ...... What do I say about this. ”
Xia Ruan Fu bowed to Aunt Lin: "Daughter-in-law, thank you mother." ”
Xia Ruan was a little surprised that Aunt Lin would actually cook for her herself. She twisted up the lotus seed osmanthus cake and tasted it, only to feel that the osmanthus cake was a little bitter, but because of the fact that Aunt Lin made it herself, it was not easy to spit it out. Xia Ruan didn't know why, but at this moment, he remembered his past life.
Mrs. Yue has always disliked her and disliked her lowly status, so she put child-avoiding medicine in her pastries, so that she could not have her own children for the rest of her life.
At that time, she was stupid enough to think that Mrs. Yue liked her, so she would give her pastries.
In the end, she realized that it was a big joke.
"Vomit ......" Xia Ruan picked up a handkerchief to cover his mouth, then spit out the pastry in his mouth and put it in the handkerchief, pretending to vomit.
Du Ruo, who was on the side, hurriedly held Xia Ruan's hand, and with the other hand, he gave Xia Ruan a smooth breath: "Madam." What's wrong with you? ”
Du Ruo's body was facing away from Mrs. Lin, Xia Ruan quickly handed the pastries in the handkerchief to Du Ruo's hand, Du Ruo was slightly stunned, but immediately took it.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Lin's voice came faintly, "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”
Xia Ruan wiped the corners of her mouth before pushing Du Ruo away, and said to Aunt Lin with a smile: "Thank you mother for your concern, my daughter-in-law is fine." It may be that this little naughty person in his stomach is so noisy that he vomits whatever he eats. This...... The daughter-in-law has failed her mother's good intentions. ”
"The slave should congratulate Mrs. Lin." Duran said with a smile, "Madame's belly is so tormented by this child. It's definitely an active little man. ”
"Really? But I'm pregnant with Ajiu. He's quiet. On the contrary, when she gave birth to Xiaoxue, that girl was making a lot of noise. Mrs. Lin held the hand of the rosary and paused: "It's okay, when you are better, I will make it for you to eat." ”
Aunt Lin's words. Duran's smile froze on his face.
Once upon a time. Aunt Lin and Mrs. Lin unanimously said that she was sick and did not want to see Xia Ruan. In the end, she said that she liked to be quiet, and she was even more reluctant to let Xia Ruan greet her.
Du Lan always thought that Aunt Lin did this because she felt sorry for Mrs. and Hou Ye's new marriage. That's why these rules are exempted. Moreover, since Mrs. married into the Marquis of Chang'an, Mrs. Lin has never interfered in the affairs of the house.
But if it was really for the sake of his wife, would he still say such a thing?
Xia Ruan is the Marquis of Chang'an, if she can give birth to her eldest son, then her identity will be impossible to shake no matter what happens in the future.
But now Mrs. Lin is hoping that Mrs. will have a daughter......
Duran couldn't help but glance at Aunt Lin for a while, but the kind person still had a smile on his face, and he couldn't see any malice in his eyes at all.
She had heard her mother say before that the most difficult relationship in the world was the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but Aunt Lin had always been very good to Xia Ruan, so Du Lan didn't take her mother's words to heart at all.
Madame is a smart person, and she naturally knows how to deal with Aunt Lin.
But now for a while, Aunt Lin's words are a little aggressive.
Why did Mrs. Lin's attitude change so quickly?
The room was quiet, Xia Ruan was drinking the tea in the tea cup, and Aunt Lin was also closing her eyes to recuperate, and no one took the initiative to speak.
"Aunt Lin, Mrs...... Miss Thirteen is here. "There's a ring of people preaching outside.
Aunt Lin opened her eyes and frowned: "What is she doing here?" Let her go back. ”
Mrs. Lin didn't think about it at all, and the words in her mouth seemed to carry some disgust, which made Xia Ruan have to be stunned again.
Even if Xiao Yuanxi and Xiao Yuanan are similar, Xiao Yuanxi is the youngest daughter of Aunt Lin after all, why does Aunt Lin hate Xiao Yuanxi so much.
Xiao Yuanxi is well-behaved and sensible, and his quiet appearance is very docile, but such an obedient child, but Mrs. Lin is unwilling to love.
"Miss Thirteen said that she brought clothes to Aunt Lin." Yahuan looked a little hesitant, "Miss Thirteen said that she has been doing it for a long time. ”
Yahuan didn't dare to take a breath at this time, she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing and be punished by Mrs. Lin.
But Miss Thirteen looked very happy, as if she really wanted to see Aunt Lin, and she was embarrassed to let Miss Thirteen go back.
Miss Thirteen treats them well, and she will not be unreasonable, and she will never make it difficult for them.
That's why she dared to say these words boldly in front of her wife.
Aunt Lin was a little impatient and put the Buddhist beads in her hand on the table on the side: "Let her in." ”
Yahuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and blessed the body: "The slave knows." ”
The disgust in Aunt Lin's eyes was fleeting, but this look was clearly seen by Xia Ruan. (To be continued......)
