Chapter 12 Binzhou Dong Lang
After Nie Siyao came out, she didn't go back to their respective courtyards with Nie Sihuan, and the two sisters went directly to the courtyard of the second lady, that is, their mother Shen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shen was dressed in a red peony brocade veil with a snow-white lotus leaf lace skirt underneath, and was sitting on the couch flipping through an account book in his hand. A handsome big girl held a pair of golden melons in her hand, half-knelt in front of the couch, and beat her legs for the second lady with even strength.
The second lady is no longer young, and at the age of nearly forty, she already has fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, which need to be covered by a thick foundation. Even so, because of the second lady's delicate and small facial features, it is still impossible to guess her age for a while.
Seeing that Nie Siyao and Nie Sihuan sisters were coming, Shen turned his gaze out of the account book, motioned for the sisters to sit down, and then waved his hand again. The maiden in the house understood that the second lady had something to say to the sisters, so they all hung their heads and bowed out.
"Jin Ju, you can go down too." The second lady instructed Jin Ju, who was still half-kneeling in front of the couch, "Also, close the door." ”
Jin Ju was slightly stunned. She is the most trusted big girl in front of the second lady, and in the past, the second lady has never asked her to avoid things. Presumably, what I have to discuss with the two young ladies today must be something that is too secret to be secret. So she answered in a low voice, stood up, put the gourd in her hand on the side of the couch, and bowed her head.
Nie Siyao and Nie Sihuan each found a brocade stool and sat down in front of the couch.
The second lady raised her eyes lightly and glanced at her two daughters: "How is that Nie Siyun now?" ”
"Okay, I can eat and sleep, and I drank two full bowls of tonic soup." Eighth Miss Nie Sihuan replied first, thinking of the scene she saw just now, she couldn't help but pout, "Mother, according to her daughter, it seems that Nie Siyun is pretending, if the injury on her head is really that serious, will it look like this?" I'm afraid I'm already lying on the couch and humming. ”
The second lady frowned slightly and looked at the third lady, Nie Siyao.
Nie Siyao also twisted her eyebrows.
She didn't care about it just now, but now that Nie Sihuan mentioned it, she really felt a little strange. Could it be that what generation of medical saint Xu Guzi is not in vain, but really has a little ability?
"Yao'er, what do you think?" The second lady asked.
Nie Siyao nodded: "The eighth sister is really careful to observe, but I, as an elder sister, ignore this." However, I heard Nie Siyun mention it, saying that the injury on her head was brought to see by Xu Guzi, a generation of medical saints. With that Xu Guzi's fame, maybe it will work as soon as it is treated. ”
This time it was the second lady's turn to feel strange: "Does that Xu Guzi really have such powerful medical skills?" I heard that he practiced medicine in northern Xinjiang all the year round and never set foot in the capital. Moreover, his temperament is very stubborn, and he never treats and regulates his body for dignitaries and nobles, what's wrong with this, he actually looks sick for that girl? ”
Nie Sihuan pursed his lips and said a little unconvinced: "It's not that Nie Siyun's uncle spent a lot of money to invite people from the northern Xinjiang!" Speaking of her uncle, he is really interested in her, and he must have spent a lot of money to invite such a difficult doctor! ”
As soon as she talked about the silver, the second lady's face couldn't help twitching.
In her eyes, all the property of Sanfang will eventually be hers, she has been planning for so many years, and even does not hesitate to raise Nie Siyun for Sanfang, the purpose is self-evident. Although the old marquis also subsidized her a lot, she did not suffer, but earned. However, it's good now, Zou Mansion desperately squandered the silver and invited a famous doctor to come over at a sky-high price, can you use this? If this continues, the property on the Zou Mansion will definitely be squandered by Master Zou, and when the time comes, what is the use of her defeating the Zou Mansion? All I got was an empty shelf.
No, she must not let Zou Mansion mess around like this anymore, she must deploy as soon as possible and get Zou Mansion's property in hand!
As soon as she thought of this, the second lady felt very confident. She is confident, she has been planning for the property of Zou Mansion for a long time, and she will definitely succeed in one blow.
But......
The Nie Siyun in the third room has been eccentric and smart since she was a child, and now the maid in the second room is not angry, and she makes some trouble, I am afraid that the ghost girl will have a problem with their second room, and she will be suspicious, and then she will be in trouble.
The second lady's gaze gradually turned sharp: "You two have listened well, keep an eye on that ghost girl for me, and report to me immediately if there is any change, and there will be no delay for a moment." ”
Hearing this, the sisters were stunned.
Nie Siyao asked tentatively, "What is Mother worried about?" ”
The second lady exhaled slowly: "Yao'er, you have to take care of the maids in your house, don't make any more mistakes." Also, my mother thinks that this happened too strangely, according to the ghost girl's usual temperament, even if there is anything wrong with your Yahuan, for the sake of the past, you will be forgiving. ”
Nie Siyao is talented and intelligent, and after the second lady dialed it like this, she immediately came to her senses: "Could it be the deliberate provocation of the ghost girl's side Yahuan Chunliu and Cai Qin?" ”
The second lady nodded: "I don't rule out this possibility." Those two girl rings were arranged by Zou to stay with the ghost girl when he was alive, after all, they are not our people. The ghost girl also made them easy to call, and I didn't dare to replace them easily. Today, it seems that it will not work if you don't change it, you have to change it, and you must replace it as soon as possible. ”
Nie Siyao smiled: "Mother can rest assured, this matter will be handed over to Yao'er, and ensure that it is handled neatly and without leaving a trace." ”
The second lady's frowning brows stretched out a little, and she looked at Nie Siyao appreciatively. This daughter was taught by her own hands, and she is very similar to her, and she is absolutely trustworthy in terms of ability.
"That Dong Xiucai in Binzhou, how did you do in the township exam?" The second lady remembered something again.
Nie Siyao laughed: "Mother, you really have a vision, that Dong Xiucai, sure enough, is a reading material, and he is motivated again, this time he won the first place in Binzhou in the township test, and he will come to Beijing in a few days." Dong Xiucai also specially asked someone to bring a letter, thanking his mother for her generous funding, and he will be a dog and horse in the future to repay his great kindness. ”
The second lady smiled on her lips: "You go back and tell him, there is no need to repay the favor, as long as he is obedient and obedient, he will have endless glory and wealth in the future." ”
Nie Siyao replied with a smile: "My daughter knows that the person who sent the letter is still waiting for our reply, and I will convey my mother's meaning to him." ”
Nie Sihuan on the side pursed his lips in displeasure: "Mother, what's the matter, why do you spend so much effort to sponsor an outsider." That Dong Xiucai, after all, is not the husband of the ghost girl? The mother is so generous, could it be that she really treats her as her own daughter? ”
The second lady laughed: "Look at Huan'er, are you jealous?" She glanced at Nie Sihuan and quipped, "Did you see that ghost girl engaged, and my Huan'er also had a heartbeat?" ”
Nie Sihuan's face turned red, and when he saw Nie Siyao covering his mouth and looking at himself with a smile on the side, he couldn't help but stomp his feet, and said unrelentingly: "Mother is partial and likes to make fun of Huan'er, and the third sister hasn't made a family affair yet, so why can't it be my turn." In the end, the shyness of the daughter's family appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but hang her head.
Seeing the appearance of a deep daughter who has always been very aggressive, the second lady couldn't help laughing: "Okay, good, my mother is not partial, my mother will plan well for the two of you sisters, and order you a beautiful family affair!" ”
