Chapter 33: Rumors
Only then did the old marquis withdraw his gaze from the official document, glanced outside, and said lightly: "Are the two girls outside still there?" ”
Seeing that the old marquis finally stopped caring about his horses and turned to his granddaughters, Lin Bo was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes, both of them are still raining outside." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The old marquis then asked again: "Are both of them kneeling?" ”
Lin Bo shook his head: "No, the seventh miss is still kneeling, but the third miss is not ......"
The old marquis raised his head suddenly: "Ah Lin, if you look outside now, can you see which of these two girls is here to ask me for sin?" ”
The old marquis's words stopped Lin Bo, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer.
In other words, if you look at it for someone who doesn't know the inside story, seeing that one of the two little girls is standing and the other is kneeling, of course he will think that the kneeling one has made a mistake, but this is not the case.
Lin Bo is also very good at being a person, he knows that the old lady has always preferred the second room, and he doesn't have much to say about the young lady in the second room, so as not to offend the second room and the old lady. So, he pondered for a moment and said, "Master Hou, this Seventh Lady's temperament is really the same as Nie Shuai's, the same stubbornness. ”
The old marquis snorted coldly: "The third child has such a bullish temper, and even his temperament is so similar to him, and he still refuses to recognize this daughter!" There was a lot of dissatisfaction with Nie Shuai in his words.
Limber didn't know what to say all of a sudden.
After a pause, the old marquis said lightly: "Okay, you go out and tell them, let them go back." ”
Lin Bo really couldn't figure out what the old marquis meant.
It stands to reason that the incident that happened in the morning was not a big event, at most, the third lady was blamed for not being strict with her subordinates, and this matter was revealed. What's more, now, the third lady has come to accompany the crime in person, standing in the wind and rain for more than an hour, the old marquis's anger should be gone, right?
But the old marquis just said such a faint eviction order, and he didn't even have a word of comfort, isn't this anger gone?
Lin Bo didn't dare to say a word, so he hurriedly retreated, sent Nie Siyao and Nie Sihuan to leave quickly, and hinted to them that the old marquis was angry, and this time was not suitable, so he would come back when he found an opportunity in the future.
Do you want to come back at another time? Nie Siyao's heart was very desperate.
She has been smart since she was a child, especially under the second lady's "good and good persuasion", she has learned the second lady's set to the fullest, and her childish face has already shown shrewdness and ability. Over the years, no matter what she does, she has never missed a move, and she doesn't want to be here with the old marquis today, but she has made a big mistake.
It seems that the old marquis is becoming more and more unwilling to see her.
Nie Siyao's heart was very annoyed.
In the Weining Marquis Mansion, the eldest lady presides over the feed, and the old lady occasionally takes care of it, but it is the old marquis who really holds the power of life and death.
If she wants to replace Fifth Miss Nie Siqin as the crown princess, the old marquis must pass this hurdle. And what needs to be done now is that no matter what method is used, she must please the old marquis before her plan can be implemented.
And Nie Siyun, who was standing on the side, didn't have as much thought as the third lady, she wrinkled her face, looked like she was about to cry, and pleaded with Lin Bo pitifully: "Lin Bo, tell me quickly, is my grandfather really angry?" Did he forgive the third sister? ”
Lin Bo has always been quite sympathetic to this third lady with a poor background, and this little girl is so delicate and cute, thinking about the third sister in everything, compared to the behavior of the girls in other rooms in the house fighting with each other. Now looking at her sad and weeping look and soft pleading words, Lin Bo's heart melted, and he coaxed her: "Miss Seven, don't worry, this matter is not as serious as you think." It's just that you didn't come by chance, and the old marquis was in a bad mood. In this way, you go back first, and go back to the old slave to persuade Master Hou. ”
Nie Siyun wiped her tears and nodded solemnly.
So, the people of the Weining Hou Mansion saw such a scene: the seventh lady Nie Siyun was holding an oil-paper umbrella in front, and the third lady Nie Siyao in the back was set up, and they each went back to their respective yards.
Moreover, the third lady, Nie Siyao, fell ill as soon as she came back, with chills all over her body, but her forehead was so hot that she was talking nonsense at night. As the so-called illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, the second lady has been sick for more than two months, and the doctor has invited several batches, but the condition is good and bad, once even the second master was angry and kicked down a doctor on the spot. In the end, the root of the disease was removed.
On the contrary, although Seventh Miss Nie Siyun said that she had an injury on her head and knelt in the rain for a long time, after coming back, not only was she completely sick, but she was alive and kicking, and she also went to visit Miss Third every day, serving tea and water, and boiling medicine and stew, which was very attentive. The people in the house naturally praised Miss Seven.
Gradually, rumors spread. said that the body of the third young lady is really not good, it is too delicate, but she fell ill after a rain, and she is afraid that it will be a life of many illnesses and disasters. If a big family marries a family, I'm afraid that this will be scattered and the continuation of the heirs will also be a problem.
Such rumors were only circulated in the market at the beginning, and they never wanted to spread more and more, not only all major families in the capital heard this rumor, but even the palace garden also spread in.
On this day, as soon as the second lady got up, freshened up, and had not eaten breakfast, Mother Liu in the old lady's house rushed over in a hurry, saying that the old lady was angry and asked the second lady to go over.
The second lady was in her heart, and she didn't know what was going on, so she didn't dare to eat breakfast, so she hurried over with Jin Ju.
As soon as she entered the old lady's door, Liu's mother only had time to say: "Old lady, second lady ......"
Before the word "arrived" was spoken, I saw a tea cup thrown out with a "whoosh", and the "pop" shattered on the floor in front of the second lady, and the hot tea splashed the second lady's body, especially the embroidered upper on the foot, which was full of tea and tea residue. The hot tea scalded so hot that the second lady bent down in pain, almost screaming in pain.
Jin Ju's face turned white with fright, she had never seen an old lady get so angry. The old lady is the aunt of the second lady, and she always defends the second lady everywhere in front of people, and there has never been such a time to not give face.
Jin Ju trembled forward, supported the second lady, and went inside.
In the room, there was a rosewood couch facing the window to the south, and the old lady was dressed in homely clothes, and her face was resentful, sitting on the couch. Around the house, the maid-in-law knelt on the ground, so frightened that she didn't even dare to come out.
Seeing the second lady come in, the old lady snorted heavily from her nostrils.
Jin Ju hurriedly helped the second lady to kneel, and knelt behind the second lady herself, lowering her head, not daring to look up at all.
The second lady took advantage of her kneeling to sneak a glance at the old lady, and when she saw the old lady's black face, she also felt a little scared in her heart. Calm down, and said, "Don't be angry, the old lady, the daughter-in-law has come to ask for your guilt." ”
The old lady laughed angrily: "Second daughter-in-law, you said that you asked me for guilt, do you know what is wrong?" ”
This question made the second lady dumb.
How did she know what she had done wrong, along the way, she also asked Liu's mother, but Liu's mother didn't know what she asked, and she also secretly made a variety of guesses, but she didn't know what happened. Now seeing that the old lady threw the teacup as soon as she entered the door, she must have made a mistake that she didn't know, so she obediently took the old lady's words, and admitted her mistake first, never thought that the old lady was serious, and asked her to say where she was wrong, but how did she know where she was wrong?
