Chapter 14: The Struggle of the Aunts
That night, six or seven maids and wives walked out of Furong Garden, all holding things in their hands, and went to the west courtyard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Aunt and Aunt Hui live next to each other, and it is a little noise here, which can be heard next door.
A few maids and ladies were carrying green bamboo lanterns all the way. Stopped at the door of the courtyard of the aunt, the mother-in-law did not go in, only stopped outside the door and called the door, when the maid went to the inside to announce, the leading round-faced mother-in-law said loudly: "I disturbed the aunt's dinner, but the wife instructed me to send things to the aunt, and the servants found things from the treasury and hurriedly sent them." ”
When she entered, she saw a little maid in Tsing Yi next to Aunt Hui's yard flashing back to the yard. She pretended not to see it, went in to see Aunt Ru, and told her everything that Huitong taught her.
For example, the aunt was a little uneasy at first, thinking that the Zhao family was going to be unfavorable to her, and was about to pretend to have a stomachache and refused to let the maid Chunya invite Su Zijin by the way, but she didn't prevent the mother-in-law from coming in and was respectful to her, and said something, Mrs. remembered the aunt's hard work for the Su family, and she must give birth to a brother for the master.
For example, the aunt's eyes fell on the streamer brocade held in the girl's hand, the falling xia yarn, the hundred-year-old ginseng in the box, and the Zhu Hai Bao Chuan, and her heart was as if she had taken a reassuring pill. She decided in her heart that this was the Zhao family who came to show her goodwill, after all, she was a great hero who could give birth to the first brother of the Su family.
She had those things under her hands, and she didn't let Chunya seal a red seal for her mother-in-law and maids. With a triumphant look, the mother-in-law spat fiercely when she went out, and scolded: "Look at her proud look, she really thinks she is firmly pregnant with a brother." I don't know if this egg can be laid! ”
The rest of the maids pretended not to have heard this curse, in this back house, the disappearance of a fetus is too easy, who can tell the thoughts of this back house woman.
For example, the aunt walked to the table where the things sent by the Zhao family were caressed with her belly, and the corners of her mouth were raised, and her eyes were full of color. She raised her hand and put the golden hairpin on her hair, and her eyes glanced in the direction of Zhao's Furong Garden. sneered in his heart: What about the housemother, if she can't give birth to a son, she still doesn't have to be soft.
Her personal maid Chunya saw her so proud, and secretly screamed in her heart. She has always been a delicate and scheming person, and she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Aunt Ru's arm and said with a worried face: "Auntie, don't take it lightly, it's better for Mrs. to send something to Aunt Far away." After all, my aunt is now expensive. ”
Aunt Ru sat down and brushed her hand away and stroked her stomach and said lazily: "She doesn't dare to do anything to me, now the child in the belly of me and the slut next door is the phoenix egg of the Su family." If she did something, the lord would not let her go. Moreover, this time she sent me these things, and this way from the East Courtyard swaggered, who doesn't know up and down the Su family? She would never dare to add anything into it. As he spoke, he casually pointed to the brocade and said, "Ming'er will hand this over to the needlework room and ask them to quickly make a dress for me." The master's birthday is coming, and I want to wear this dress to accompany the master for his birthday. ”
Speaking of thirst, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of red dates and walnuts milk tea, but he frowned, put down his frowns and said: "The cold things are still there, why don't you make me a new one and send it to me." If you hurt my brother, I won't spare you! ”
Chunya sighed in her heart, and hurriedly ordered to go down and get a small stove and put it outside the eaves for Aunt Ru to prepare at any time. She has been with her for two years, and she knows the temperament of this master very well. It looks like a smart one, but it can't stand up to provoking design, but in fact it's stupid. If she's smart, she can't even hold down the one next door. Chunya doesn't want anything like her aunt to fight the child in the belly next door, she just hopes that she can be smart and keep the baby in her belly safely.
If the aunt was proud, Aunt Hui in the courtyard next door looked extremely ugly. The elderly mother-in-law hurriedly gave her a cup of soothing flower tea and comforted her: "Auntie, don't be angry, think about the brother in your belly." ”
Aunt Hui sneered and said, "Now my wife is courting her, and I think that what she has in her belly must be a brother." Mother-in-law, what should I do? ”
Ma Pozi frowned and said, "Auntie, don't worry, maybe Mrs. tomorrow's reward will come." ”
"I can't come," Aunt Hui said coldly: "I don't look at the few satins she gave, it's the status of my brother." ”
Now she is just an aunt, and there are so many things that the housewife can decide in this courtyard. She and Aunt Ru were pregnant almost at the same time, and the future delivery would only be a few days, and it would be too easy for the Zhao family to do something about the time they gave birth. A bowl of medicine that delays the delivery time, or pushes the delivery time, can determine who is born first.
And now that the Zhao family is rewarding Aunt Ru, Aunt Hui can't help but wonder in her heart that Aunt Ru bowed to the Zhao family, and what agreement they reached. Under the current circumstances, it is extremely unfavorable to her, and it is difficult to say whether she is pregnant with a brother now.
Her eyes were deep, and her face was a little hideous under the candlelight.
She is not as good as her aunt, and now she finally has the capital to turn over, she is determined to keep it.
Huitong couldn't help but smile when she listened to Linshui's report, she knew that these two aunts had been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, and this pregnancy would inevitably compete secretly. Aunt Hui is actually much smarter than her aunt, and in her previous life, Aunt Hui's miscarriage actually had an inseparable relationship with her mother, which is also the reason why her father snubbed her mother later. In this life, she let the two aunts go to infighting by themselves, in this matter, the mother's hands must be clean, and Su Zijin would never have thought that it would be his own daughter who killed his son.
Huitong was very handy about doing this, and in the next few days, she asked Zhao to send a lot of things to Aunt Ru one after another. And what Aunt Hui sent was just ordinary goods, and Hui Tong in the kitchen also ordered them to go down, so that they could stick to Aunt Ru's side, and Aunt Hui would push back and forth. After a few days, Aunt Hui finally couldn't help it.
The cause was because of a bowl of bird's nest.
Bird's nest is a nourishing thing that only the old lady and the Zhao family can enjoy every day, but now that the two aunts are pregnant, Su Zijin ordered them to arrange a bowl as well. Originally, Aunt Ru had already eaten it this morning, but she couldn't stand the Zhao family sent it to her, she could drink two bowls a day.
Aunt Hui's Xia Zhen happened to meet the little girl next to Aunt Ru when she went to fetch bird's nest for her, the little girl couldn't help but be arrogant because Aunt Ru's limelight was very prosperous today, and she insisted on taking away the bird's nest that had been boiled for Aunt Hui, Xia Zhen was a big girl, how could she let a little girl snatch things from her hands? The two of them quarreled in the kitchen, and in the end, they even started to pull my hair and tear your clothes. The people in the kitchen were not allowed to persuade them after being ordered by Huitong, and they waited until the two of them were hung up before the kitchen people went to pull away, and at this time, the big girl Zirui beside the Zhao family also came, and scolded the two little maids for pressing the Zhao family's Furong Garden.
Zhao was talking to Hui Tong, and was talking about how to handle Su Zijin's birthday, when he saw Zirui pressing two maids in. Zhao was about to ask, and Su Zijin came in.
Recently, because of the pregnancy of the concubine, he rarely came to Zhao's place, and he thought of it in his heart, and he was afraid that Zhao would show the color of the concubine's room, so he came today and happened to see the big girl next to her who was pressing people, and she was familiar with it, it was her two concubines.
"What's going on?" Su Zijin sat down and took a sip of tea and asked.
Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't know about the concubine, I just came to ask the master." ”
Seeing this, Zirui hurriedly said: "Back to the old lady, these two girls had a big fight in the kitchen, and the mother-in-law reported to the slave maid." Because they are the girls next to Aunt Ru and Aunt Hui, the slaves and maids can't be disposed of at will, so they pressed to the wife and let the wife decide. ”
"The old lady is going to be the master of our aunt." Xia Zhen is a big girl after all, and when she saw the opportunity, she knelt down and kowtowed and cried: "The lord's grace stews a bowl of bird's nest for our aunt every day, but when the slave maid went to the kitchen to get bird's nest, Aunt Ru's girl insisted on coming to rob our aunt." Speaking of this, her eyes were red, and her tears choked like beads: "Aunt Suri is a good friend with people, but she doesn't want to be bullied like this today." Today's events are all Xia Zhen's fault, and please don't blame my Aunt Hui. ”
Aunt Ru's little maid suddenly turned pale when she saw Xia Zhen's snatching white, she was originally at a loss, and at this time, Xia Zhen's sharp teeth and sharp mouth were even more confused, and she couldn't say a word.
"You're telling the truth?"
"Back to the master, what the slave said is absolutely true."
The little maid came back to her senses and kowtowed: "Master, the slave didn't rob her of her bird's nest, it was originally like an aunt." ”
Su Zijin rubbed his head and only felt that one head was two big, and the two concubines really didn't know what to do. I was exhausted for them, and I didn't know that An An gave him a son. Huitong looked at his mother with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes looked at Su Zijin, Zhao got up and walked behind Su Zijin knowingly, put his hands on his temples, and said softly: "Don't be angry, master, this is originally the matter of the woman's back house, so you don't have to bother." ”
Zhao Shi looked at the two maids and said sharply, "Do you two know what punishment is to be punished for making noise and fighting in the mansion?" ”
The bodies of the two of them trembled, but they had to hit the board twenty times.
Zhao glanced at it and said, "It seems that you know, so go and get the punishment yourself." If Aunt Hui and Aunt Hui are not effective, they will be punished with half a month of grounding, and if they want to commit it again, they will not be spared. ”
Zhao's move seems to be a fifty board each, which is tolerant and generous in Su Zijin's eyes. But in Aunt Hui's eyes, it's different, she's favoring Aunt Ru. It was obviously Aunt Ru's fault, but she was disposed of like this, and Aunt Hui's heart became more and more uncalm. Falling a lot of porcelain was only half of the vent, she looked at Xia Zhen who was rippling with tears, and said coldly: "It's really easy for me to bully!" ”
That night, a petite figure in Aunt Hui's yard went all the way to the back door, and gave the mother-in-law who was guarding the door a few dollars, and the mother-in-law took the money and opened the door for her with a smile. The petite figure puts on a cloak and disappears into the darkness.
