Chapter 2: Causes
Liu Ya floated down the wall, opened the curtain with a wisp of wind, and entered the main house in a flash. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There weren't many people in the house.
The girl Lilac cried and swollen her eyes, sobbed and knelt in front of the gums in the bedroom.
On the gum bed leaned against the dark green pillow lying on the side of a silver-white haired old lady, a girl was reaching out to take off the royal blue inlay jade on the old lady's head and touching her forehead.
The grandmother who was waiting next to her picked a small piece of wind oil from the porcelain white box, opened it evenly and rubbed it on the old lady's forehead.
After rubbing for a while, the old lady came back to her senses and slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing this, the waiting grandmother hurriedly called, "Old lady, are you awake?" He withdrew his hand and gently wiped her face with a silk handkerchief.
The old lady waved her hand, sat up, looked at Lilac kneeling at her feet and asked, "You say, how did Aunt Liu go?" ā
The old lady's eyes were red and swollen, and her voice trembled, and she was scratching the mother who was holding her.
Mama was stunned, and glanced at the girl on the ground with the corner of her eyes in surprise.
Is this to personally inquire about the death of a concubine?
The old lady has always been strict in her rules, and now she has crossed her daughter-in-law to take care of the affairs of her son's room, and it seems that she is really sad and angry.
Lilac, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed, and said in a hoarse voice while kowtowing, "It's the slave's fault, it's the slave who didn't take care of the aunt, it's me, it's me." ā
The old lady choked with tears, and was speechless in some pain, and looked at the grandmother next to her with her eyes.
Mama understood and asked, "If you tell me how Aunt Liu went, you just have to answer." ā
Lilac raised her head and hurriedly replied, "My aunt was better a few days ago, so let the slave and maid walk a few steps in the yard." In the past two days, my spirit has also improved, and I can often say a few words. Early this morning, he said that Da Langjun got married today, and asked the maid to send the idea of an embroidered mandarin duck scarf to Da Langjun. ā
She seemed to sink into her memory, and her words slowly became softer, "The slave maid went to the front yard to entrust several people, but no one was willing to help hand over the mandarin duck scarf, until noon, the slave maid came back to serve the aunt's lunch." ā
The words paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, Lilac suddenly cried, and said silently, "My aunt knew that the towel was not sent, so my heart was not good, so I vomited blood at that time, and the slave maid went to ask the wife to ask the doctor to come to see the aunt, but the wife said, said, said that the big day, please the doctor is too unlucky." The slave and maid really had no choice but to fry the decoction that the aunt often drank. However, when the slave came back with the medicine, the aunt would not be able to do it, and the decoction could not be poured in, and it could not be poured in. ā
Lilac's bitter cry was remembered again in the house.
Mama took a step forward and was about to reprimand.
The old lady waved her hand, choked up and said, "Let her cry, there are few people in this world who can really cry for her, let her cry." ā
Touching her tears, she instructed the waiting girl again, "Xiangyun, you go and urge the Hou Ye to come over." ā
The old lady waved her hand, and the people in the room stepped back.
Lilac was also pulled up and helped out.
Liu Ya, who was standing aside and watching the excitement, looked at the old lady suspiciously, and pursed her lips.
An aunt who has been locked up for more than ten years, when she dies, she dies, and she comes to pretend to cry, who is she crying for? It's useless to cry to her ghost.
She stepped forward to the carved bed and looked at the woman lying there quietly.
The woman's hair is easily curled into a small flying fairy bun, a silver hairpin with white plum flowers is obliquely inserted in the bun, and the body is a twelve Hunan skirts with green plum oblique branches at home, and the green plum dots between the folded skirts, lined with the dark green dotted white plum embroidered shoes on the feet, full of vitality.
I was sick for a long time, so I prepared this new dress, originally to see my son who I hadn't seen for many years, but I didn't see him.
Fortunately, this dress is always on.
This kind of dress is also decent.
Liu Ya felt a little more comfortable in her heart.
There was a knock on the door.
Liu Ya looked back.
In the middle of the room came a young man with a crown and a sash on his forehead, and his handsome face was unhappy. He took a few steps to the gum and knelt down.
"Mother, mourning."
Yongdinghou knelt down, and his heart was full of sorrow.
If you don't die sooner or later, why did you die at this moment. Is this deliberately embarrassing him, or deliberately embarrassing Da Lang and embarrassing the Hou Mansion. Mother too, when she died, she asked people to arrange the funeral, and called him over to be nothing. The guests in the front yard have not dispersed yet, and they still need to socialize, so why do they have to rush here. Is it just to see the dead?
The old lady looked at the grandmother who was waiting on the side, and commanded in a low voice, "You go outside and guard, I will talk to the Hou Ye, and no one will be allowed to approach." ā
Mama saluted and withdrew.
The old lady looked at her son who was kneeling on the ground, and raised her hand sadly, "You get up, now that she is dead, after many years, I don't need to hide it from you, I should give you an explanation." ā
"The son doesn't need to explain, what the mother does is reasonable, and the son obeys." Yongdinghou knelt down, and replied angrily with his neck.
The old lady sighed and said, "You help me to see the child." ā
Yongdinghou got up at this time, took the old lady's hand, and walked towards Aunt Liu's carved bed.
The old lady sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and stroked a few strands of hair on the woman's face, and said as if talking to herself.
"I know that you resent me, hated me for knowing that she was pregnant, and forcing you to take her into the house. She gave birth to a child, and I pressed you to recognize the child. Before your wife enters the door, your eldest son can already run and jump. How many people in this capital see your jokes, laugh at you behind your back, and laugh at the fact that there are no rules in the Yongding Marquis Mansion. ā
The old lady turned her head and stared straight at Yongdinghou, "You resent me and hate me, I admit it, this is my sin." But you can't resent her and hate her, she is your own sister, if it weren't for her, there would be no Yongding Marquis Mansion today, and there would be no you today. ā
Yongding Hou was like a thunderbolt, and his whole body trembled.
At that time, he wondered why his mother would force this Aunt Liu to enter the door with death, and forced him to recognize the wild seed as a son, in order to protect this aunt, no one was allowed to enter this courtyard.
The woman said it was his concubine, but he had never even seen anyone.
Everyone outside said that he hid a concubine in his golden house and a concubine who looked like a fairy, saying that he had the blessing of Qi people, a good wife and a beautiful concubine.
But who knows that his two sides are not human suffering.
At first, he also sent someone to investigate, wanting to know the origin of this concubine, but after checking for many years, he couldn't find a trace of news, this woman seemed to appear in the capital out of thin air, and the only reason for her appearance was to be his concubine.
But now, why does my mother say that she is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion and his own sister?
