Chapter 70: Night Talk
and Mrs. Wang fought for another half an hour and settled the matter of winter clothes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "You will have to work hard after that." Linglong smiled lightly and sent off the guests.
"Where is the third miss, this is the duty of the slave maid, if the third lady has no other instructions, the slave and maid will go back to the wife." Mrs. Wang bowed shallowly.
"Yes." Linglong made a sound from her nose, indicating that she knew, so she closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, and a tired look was clearly written on her face.
After listening to the next sentence of the third lady for a long time, Mrs. Wang raised her head and glared at Linglong. Seeing that her eyes were closed, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she didn't mention the reward, nor did she see Ziyue and Zhaoying hiding in the back room, Wang Pozi paused, bit her lip and straightened up, turned around and went out angrily, leaving a contemptuous and angry nasal voice behind her, dragging on a long tail with a thick unwillingness.
Mrs. Wang went out with her front feet, and Zhao Ying and Ziyue came out of the back room with a snicker. Ziyue changed a cup of hot tea for Linglong, "Miss, this is the Lu'an melon slice tea that the old lady sent her." ”
The mist is thick, and the faint scent of tea fills the tip of the nose.
Zhaoying smiled and moved a brocade pestle embroidered with a few golden fish, sat at Linglong's feet, and said excitedly: "That woman is still counting on our young lady to reward her, our young lady is not a fool, knowing that she is uneasy and kind, what do you have to fill her with sesame oil." ”
Ziyue smiled and shook her head, pointing at the shadow of the shadow, "You! ”
"If you reward her today, no matter how much, in her eyes, we are stupid, not rewarding her, but making her vomit tonight, I don't know if this woman can sleep tonight." Zhaoying's head was sideways, dodging Ziyue's fingers reaching out to her head, and she stuck out her tongue and continued, a pair of big eyes flashing.
Linglong picked up the teacup on the small machine and took a sip, the tea taste was light, but it made the whole body comfortable.
"Xiao Yuyan's wedding tomorrow, are our congratulatory gifts ready?" Linglong asked, putting down the teacup.
"It's ready, Miss don't worry." Ziyue knew that Miss was talking about Yang Zhu.
mentioned the wedding of the eldest lady of the Xiao family tomorrow, and the whole little face was full of cheers when the photo was released, "Tomorrow's wedding will be lively!" He gloated and put his arms on his knees, holding his cheeks and smirking, "Miss, shall we go and see?" Asked Linglong with a glare.
Looking at Zhaoying's expectant look, Linglong sneered, "Do you want to go?" ”
Miss Fan asked, Zhaoying felt that there was a spectrum in her heart, and nodded violently, "I want to go, I want to go, of course I want to go, not to mention seeing it with my own eyes, just thinking about it now makes me feel lively." Zhaoying's little face shone brightly, and he winked at Ziyue as he spoke.
"Do you really want to go?" Linglong asked with a smile in her eyes.
"Of course, such a prosperous marriage is not always encountered." Zhaoying's statement is reasonable.
"Since you want to go so much," Linglong got up with a smile, bent down and pinched Zhaoying's pink little face, and smiled as she walked towards the bedroom, "Then we won't go." ”
"Miss!" Zhaoying screamed behind Linglong.
Ziyue couldn't help but smile and went to make the bed for Linglong.
Since Lingyu was eight years old, her appearance gradually grew, and Mu Shichang was determined to marry Lingyu, who was beautiful and fragrant, to the prince's mansion. Therefore, her things have always been the most extravagant in the Mu Mansion, and he wants to raise this delicate daughter to be more beautiful than Jiaojiao, which is what Mu Shichang and the old lady nodded, Xiao Shi is happy, her own daughter, she can't wait to give her the best in the world. As long as you don't overstep the system, it's fine.
Linglong was lying on the soft luodian stepping bed, touching the big red peony embroidered with dark patterns on her body, thinking of the first time she came to Lingyu's room, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl, and she didn't know where those Yingzhi had gone, and whether they had harmed others. However, she can't control other people's affairs.
Turning over slightly, during the day, the words that Zhao Ying said in Zhongdetang gently floated in Linglong's mind, and Shen Yunchi's appearance gradually became clearer, his eyebrows, eyes, his nose, and his lips all appeared in front of Linglong so vividly, from the first time they met to the present, the piles and piles poured into Linglong's heart, she didn't realize it, and her cheeks were as red as fire at the moment.
Shen Yunqi's eyebrows and eyes are so similar to the little brother of Qingquan Nunnery, thinking of the little brother, Linglong's heart gradually sank, that fire destroyed everything, and also took away the little brother who had been with her. The little brother once said that he would marry her.
Although it is a childish phrase from childhood, it remains in her heart like an imprint, indelible.
The door to the outer room creaked open and closed with a creak. This was followed by the rustling of clothes, and the sound was the shadow coming back from outside.
"Sister Ziyue, that Hou Ye of Zhaodehou Mansion is not a thing." took off his shirt and gently lay down beside Ziyue, pulling the quilt and muttering to Ziyue.
"What's wrong?" Ziyue turned over to look at the shadow.
"Just now I went to the official room, and I heard the girls in the lady's yard talk that the night before yesterday, an aunt in Zhaodehou's Mansion was beaten to death again, saying that it was because one of the grapes served to Hou Ye was not peeled clean, but Hou Ye picked up that one, Hou Ye was angry, and gave her a heartwarming foot, and she bled to death at that time." Zhaoying sighed, and continued to lower his voice and said, "I heard that my aunt's father is an official in Zhejiang, and his official rank is bigger than our master." It's pitiful to think about the second miss. With that, the shadow let out a long breath, full of sourness.
The corners of Ziyue's mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't say anything in the end, she knew that if the young lady didn't sleep, she would have heard it clearly.
"Purple Moon." Linglong frowned, sighed, and sat up.
Really! Ziyue pulled the corners of her mouth with a wry smile, Miss is too good-hearted.
"Hey!" Responding softly, he turned over and got dressed neatly, "I'll go and see what Miss is doing, you fall asleep, you don't have to get up, there may be something tomorrow, take care of your spirits, don't think about the second miss's business, it's just plain and worrying." Ziyue instructed to take pictures, and while pulling her shoes and walking towards Linglong's bedroom.
Zhaoying stared at Ziyue and entered the young lady's room, sighed, and lay down to sleep. After all, he was still a child, and he snored in the blink of an eye.
"Did the young lady hear it all?" When Ziyue entered, Linglong had already dressed and sat on the edge of the bed.
Linglong nodded, "I thought it would be just a difficult life, but I didn't expect it to be like this, and I would die at every turn." ”
Ziyue knew that Miss was going to help a group of second misses.
"You deal with it here," Linglong pouted at the Xiao family's main house, "I'll go to Xiuyuan." ”
It was past the curfew, and an orange lamp was still lit in Aunt Yan's bedroom in Xiuyuan, and an emaciated figure walked back and forth, letting out a long sigh from time to time, with indescribable helplessness and anxiety, and the people who were vocal were uncomfortable.
Next door, Lingrong's room is also lit slightly.
Linglong turned over lightly and entered Lingrong's room.
Seeing Linglong coming in, Lingrong was startled. Linglong hurriedly covered her mouth and made a silent gesture on the side of her mouth, Lingrong flashed her eyes and nodded, but the tears fell in a flutter, and the big ones dripped onto Linglong's hand, with warmth.
Let go of Lingrong, Linglong turned around and extinguished the faint light.
"Third sister." Lingrong whispered in a hoarse voice.
Listening to her voice, you know that she has been crying for a long time. Linglong smiled bitterly in her heart, she knew that this was the case, and she would come directly to Xiuyuan when she came out of her grandmother's yard in the afternoon, if she came over at that time, she wouldn't have cried for so long.
Lingrong's mother and daughter always regard themselves as life-saving shields, this time regardless of whether they can be saved or not, at least for Lingrong, it is a great comfort, before getting married, the fear in her heart was not so strong.
"You quietly invite your aunt over, don't alarm others." Linglong whispered in Lingrong's ear.
Lingrong nodded, raised her hand to wipe her tears, smiled reluctantly at Linglong, and turned to go out. After a moment's effort, Lingrong's door creaked, and they followed their mother and daughter into the room one after the other.
Aunt Yan had her hair scattered, her lips were slightly white, her eyes were so swollen that she could barely open them, and her eyes were bloodshot. When he entered the door, he ran to Linglong in three or two steps, and was about to kneel down on his knees, "Third Miss, please save Second Miss, the fire pit ......"
"Auntie got up and spoke." Without waiting for Aunt Yan to hit the ground on her knees, Linglong dragged her up, "I can't stay here for long, Aunt knows that I am resting in Fangyuan today." ”
Aunt Yan understood what Linglong meant, smiled at her gratefully and awkwardly, and stood up with Linglong's strength, "Thank you, Third Miss." ”
Time is urgent, and I can't care about so many false courtesies, not to mention, Lingrong's mother and daughter are not in the mood to talk about those etiquettes at the moment, the three of them sit around a pitch-black pear wood round table, and put a small tea cup in front of each of them.
"What did my aunt originally plan for the marriage of her second sister?" Linglong gets straight to the point.
Aunt Yan was stunned, looking at Linglong deadly, wanting to see something from her eyes, she had served in front of the old lady for so many years, her eyesight was not bad, and her life was like this, but after the pot of saffron was poured back then, she just accepted her fate. Looking at the flickering worry in the delicate clear eyes, there was nothing else, Aunt Yan smiled bitterly in her heart, she thought too much.
She wanted help from others, but she was so uneasy to hide it, Aunt Yan was a little ridiculed in her heart. But for the sake of her daughter, she can't be careless.
"The second lady's marriage, the concubine never dared to trespass, there are ladies and old ladies who don't talk about it, and old ladies. The concubine is not allowed to be in charge, but the concubine never expected that it would be the Zhaodehou Mansion. Aunt Yan said, tears couldn't help but fall again, "Such a family, how can the concubine be willing to let the second lady suffer that unwarranted disaster." ”
Linglong sighed in her heart, she knew that what Aunt Yan said was true, "If it is the marriage of Zhaodehou Mansion, we have no way, what are we going to do?" "She wants to know the worst plan for Lingrong's mother and daughter.
"If I can't, I'd rather die." Lingrong didn't wait for Aunt Yan to speak, and said first with hazy tears and no lack of perseverance: "Linglong, you know, such a person, not to mention my temperament, even if I change to a capable person, marrying in the past is also a life, rather than being rubbed and humiliated to death, it is better for me to break myself early, so as to save those troubles." ”
Aunt Yan only hung her head and wept, I'm afraid this is a tacit agreement between mother and daughter.
