Chapter 45: Unwillingness
Mother He also had a look of resentment: "This big house is going to kill our sister Yao." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Thinking of Nie Siyao's well-behaved and obedient appearance on weekdays, Mother He felt that the tip of her heart was hurting: "The rumors outside are really hateful, what do you say, our sister Yao was drenched in a light rain, and she became sick like this, presumably she was one step and three times on weekdays, and she couldn't even get out of the second door." In the future, if any family marries her, it will marry one, marry a ......"
Seeing that the second lady was glaring at her with her eyes, Mother He swallowed her saliva and swallowed the unspoken words into her stomach. Because, the next words are too much, too ugly to hear.
"Isn't it true that my baby is short-lived? Isn't it said that after the happy event is done, there will be a funeral? The second lady turned pale with anger and gasped for breath, "It's really hateful!" ”
Mother He looked at the second lady at a loss.
Rumors can't be stopped, no matter what you do. The old lady had already made a decision, and clearly warned the second lady in person that she was not allowed to get involved in this matter again. What can they do, they can only be angry here.
"I can't swallow this!" The second lady said hatefully, she got out of the house, and paced anxiously in the room, as if this was the only way to dispel some of the anger in her heart.
She has been petite since she was a child, has a general brother, and her husband is also married well and has a pair of children. Even if there are several aunts in the house, some of them have nothing to do, and some of them can only give birth to daughters, and there are no concubines who can block their hearts and lungs. In addition, the second master is not attentive, he is very good to her, and he stays in her house for almost half of the month, which can be described as a smooth life, and it is the time when the scenery is infinitely good. But there was such a thing, her baby daughter was slandered, and it was that kind of fatal slander, she may be so wasted in her life, how can she be willing?
"But the old lady doesn't allow the lady to act rashly!" Mother He reminded after the second lady. The second lady kept going around the room in circles, and her head was almost dizzy.
"She has to listen to me, she doesn't say it right, is it possible that I have to listen too?" The second lady paused suddenly, turned around, and almost bumped into the oncoming Mother He.
Mother He looked at the enlarged face of the second lady in front of her, was startled, and hurriedly took a step back and said, "The slave is offended." ”
At this time, where did the second lady still have the mood to pursue the offense of Mother He, she said directly: "Mother He, tell me, what should I do now?" ”
Mother He rolled her eyes and said, "Madam, although the old lady has made it clear that you are not allowed to get involved in this matter, that is to say, the old lady deliberately wants to favor the side of the big house, which is really unfair to our second room." We can't do anything about the big house, but we should always hold the perpetrators accountable, right? ”
The second lady's eyes lit up: "Yes, the master behind him makes people the most hateful, but this person who takes people's money and slanders others is no better." ”
Mother He said: "The slave maid went to the south back door and asked Mrs. Cao, she remembered very well that it was a fortune teller who came in from the south back door that day and went out. She was still wondering how to bring in a fortune teller in a good way. At that time, Cuizhu said that the eldest lady was uneasy when she saw the old lady for the past two days, and she seemed to have something on her mind, so she asked a fortune teller to come over and calculate it for the old lady. ”
The second lady snorted coldly: "The big house is really diligent, in the name of sharing the worries of the old lady, and the fortune teller is introduced into the mansion in a grand manner." So, did the fortune teller really go to the old lady's house? ”
"Go." Mother He replied that she had heard that she had stayed for lunch. ”
"And then just left?" The second lady asked with a sneer.
"Of course not." Mother He hurriedly said, "I heard that after the fortune teller came out of the old lady, the big house invited him to sit for a while, and then Cuizhu sent him out." ”
The second lady said hatefully: "That's it." For such an important matter, will the big house be a dummy? Of course, it is to attract the fortune teller to come in, and it is appropriate to teach you face-to-face, and work together to deal with my Yao'er! ”
As soon as she thought of her baby daughter, who had been holding it in her hand since she was a child and was afraid of melting in her mouth, she was ruined by a few gentle and clever words from the fortune teller, and the second lady felt a wave of anger "rubbing" up and down, and she couldn't wait to catch the fortune teller immediately, and cut it with a thousand knives, so as to vent the hatred in her heart.
"When will the master come back?" The second lady suddenly asked.
Mother He immediately panicked: "Madam, you can't be rash. This kind of thing, even if you want to tell the master, you can't be so angry. The lord is an official in the court, and he is busy with official business, if you bother him like this, I am afraid that those fox spirits in the other rooms will ......"
Speaking of this, Mother He also took a special look at the courtyard of the concubines through the window lattice.
Over the years, as the second lady's personal and loyal servant, she kept in mind the old lady's instructions and told the second lady in everything. The second lady of Xingxi was also willing to listen to her, so she was able to firmly control the second master's heart completely, so that the second master refused to take a second look at the aunts in the other rooms.
"Mother He, don't worry, I have my own measure." The second lady nodded.
At night, the lights are on.
As soon as the second old man Nie Yuanming entered the house, he saw Jin Ju who had been waiting there for a long time at the Hanging Flower Gate. Jin Ju said: "Master, the lady ordered the slave maid to wait for the master here, saying that dinner has been prepared, just wait for the master to enter the table." ”
Nie Yuanming immediately thought of the delicate face of the second lady, and the fatigue of the day seemed to have dissipated most of it, smiled knowingly, and nodded: "Okay, lead the way." ”
Tonight's second lady wore a large-sleeved shirt on the back of her coat, her hair was combed into a phoenix bun, and a garnan-incense inlaid gold wire hollow flower bat hairpin was inserted on the left and right sides of the bun. This hairpin was a gift to the second lady when the second master met her in the plum garden.
The second old man's eyes lit up, and he only felt that the second lady under the lamp was a hundred times more delicate than the peony flowers in full bloom in the house.
Serving soup, cloth vegetables, and rice, this time it was He's mother who did it herself. The second old man was overjoyed with the delicacies on the table, thinking that when he arrived at the study tomorrow, the first thing he would do was to dismiss the chef, and what kind of dishes were burned, like chewing wax.
After dinner, Jin Ju had already set up the four treasures of the study room as usual. The second master has a habit that cannot be shaken by thunder for many years, and after eating, he always has to practice calligraphy for a while.
Sending Jin Ju down, the second lady lit the acacia incense and studied the ink herself. As soon as the second master took the pen, he smelled a faint fragrance coming from the inkstone, and he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of inkstone is this, why is it so fragrant?" ”
The second lady said with a smile: "This is Tao Yan, called Water Moon Guanyin." It was the eldest brother who searched for it from the Tao River, and when he heard that the old man liked this thing, he asked the slave family to give it away. ”
The second old man is very happy, he loves calligraphy since he was a child, he has a soft spot for the inkstone of one of the four treasures of the study, and has a habit of collecting all kinds of precious inkstones since he was a child. But Tao inkstones like Shuiyue Guanyin are almost extinct not only on the market, but even in the whole world, which is extremely rare.
"Thank you, madam, Madame has a heart."
The second lady covered her mouth and smiled: "Why is the husband so polite? ”
At this time, the candle flame became brighter and brighter, reflecting the second lady's skin and body. The second master only felt that his mouth was dry and irritable, and his heart was upset.
The second lady's voice floated softly: "The dishes of Fang Cai are made by the slave family for the husband himself, has the husband ever eaten enough?" ”
"I'm full, ah no, not yet......" At this time, where did the second master remember what he had eaten in Fang Cai's dinner, he only felt that the beauty in front of him was delicious, and he really wanted to eat again......
"Husband is here." The second lady chuckled and headed towards the inner room.
With a "snap", the brush in the second master's hand fell on the paper, he laughed and strode in.
The inner room is full of spring.
