Chapter 4 Is it the main room or the favored concubine?
"Hey, didn't Qin Jing come two days ago, saying that she wanted to return the identity deed of her grandmother's family, and was stopped by you?" Mrs. Lan suddenly remembered that her own Qinqing'er asked her to help beat the side drum, and in a hurry, she had to take this out to block it first, "This child is afraid that you will annoy her, and she won't dare to entangle with you anymore, so let me help her say good things." ”
Mrs. Lan frowned unconsciously when she heard this, "So that my mother-in-law knows that the jade painting was originally the daughter-in-law's eldest maid, and Jinzhu also grew up with Qinqing, otherwise the daughter-in-law would not be at ease to hand over Qinqing to the two of them, how can such a henchman not want to look at them well?" ”
"However, she didn't want to paint Yuhua at all, she was reluctant to leave Qinqing, crying pitifully, her daughter-in-law couldn't force their family out, right?"
Although she knew that her mother-in-law was dealing with herself with this matter, Mrs. Lan still honestly explained the reason.
The year before last, the boiling loyal servant case in the capital greatly gave Liu Yushi a face, what was the inside story? She is also a doorman.
Although I am embarrassed to go out to promote my man, it would be good if I could publicize it through the mouth of my mother-in-law.
Old Madam Lan was really happy when she heard this, "This is a good thing, spread out, and the outside only says that we will be loving, which is very good for the boss's official reputation." ”
Listening to the old lady talk about her master, Mrs. Lan's expression softened a little, and she was about to speak, when she heard the maid report outside: "The third lady has come to say goodbye to the old lady, and the third lady is careful of the threshold." ”
I only heard the jingle of a piece of pearl and green, and at the gold and silver double-thread embroidered water lily screen at the door, a young and beautiful lady came.
On a cold day, this one was wearing a tight jacket embroidered with white peach blossoms, a tender green smoke wave skirt, a bright red treasure double swallow on his neck, and two pairs of gold-inlaid gold bracelets on his wrists.
Coupled with the golden phoenix hairpin on his head and the white jade on his waist, isn't it a dingdong crisp sound when he walks up in a hurry?
Mrs. Lan is the most particular about being silent and sitting in style, and when she sees Mrs. Lan San, she wants to cry or not, and she looks delicate, and her heart is a block.
is obviously a serious lady in the main room, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like a favored concubine, how to fix it?
Mrs. Lan didn't like it in her heart, but she couldn't say it, but Mrs. Lan didn't care so much, and reprimanded with a cold face: "Look at what kind of dress you are?!" ”
"I wore it on a cold day, and I didn't have to let people see that our Lan family treated our daughter-in-law badly."
Mrs. Lan was about to salute, but was reprimanded by the old lady like this, she couldn't get up or down, and her tears fell when she landed, and she said aggrievedly: "My daughter-in-law came in fox hair."
In fact, Mrs. Lan disliked her bad luck in wearing white, and was afraid of guarding against her own son, but this is selfish, how can she say it clearly?
Looking at her delicate style, why is the root of her teeth itchy?
That would only think that the Qu family is in-law, and the family is rich, and the dowry for the only daughter must not be less, and it is suitable for the third child of the family, but who would have thought that there are many dowries, but Mrs. Lan San is a family, only in and out, not to mention, when she is empty, she has to come back from others, she is a real iron hen!
But no matter how you say it, it's also her aunt and nephew, even if you look at her sister's face, you can't go too far, "Okay, your sister-in-law and I are not unreasonable people, and it's not that Nan'er is bad, you cry like this, it's not too unlucky"
Mrs. Lan was used to being trained by her, but she was not in a hurry, and saluted her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and then raised her hand to wipe the tears coquettishly.
"Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, you two don't know, Doctor Jin said, it's not my master who has a bad stomach, but someone poisoned it!" She had been tossing since last night, tossing until the sun was rising, and she didn't see the scene she wanted to see.
It was not light, but who knew the endless road, and the words of Doctor Jin made her see hope again.
Third Lady Lan took advantage of the time to wipe her tears, and quickly glanced at Mrs. Lan, who was sitting steadily, "Hmph, I think you can still sit still?" There are thieves poisoned, haha, a family is not strict, it's strange that you can escape! ”
Sure enough, Old Madam Lan was angry, it was forgivable to eat badly, and she couldn't stand idly by being assassinated!
The result of the open and secret battle was that Mrs. Lan promised to hand over the murderer in three days and give Sanfang an explanation.
It was easy to get out of here, and when I walked to the sedan chair at the gate of the courtyard, I saw that my housekeeper Mrs. Hu, when she helped her onto the sedan chair, she whispered: "There were five guests visiting the patient in the morning, and the three masters all refused, only to see a Mr. Xu, who was born." ”
"This is a white body, but he can speak well, which made the third master very happy, and he stayed for half an hour before leaving."
Mrs. Lan is in shape, she knows this little uncle of her own house best, she is used to climbing high and twisting low, and it is common for her to tie up her own brother, ordinary people still have to look at each other's grades, but today she treats a person with a white body differently
"Check." Mrs. Lan commanded, "Since you are here, go to Hexin Courtyard by the way, and see who dares to poison the third master." ”
"Then again, I don't even know what kind of poison he has gotten here?"
"Hehe" Hu's mother covered her mouth and chuckled, "What's the matter?" You just have to go back, and the slave and maid will make sure that you will find out clearly. ”
"There are only three rooms in our house, and the total number of young ladies and sons is only thirteen, and even one room in our Hou Mansion can't be compared.
She is Mrs. Lan's dowry maid, and when she gets married, she becomes a housekeeper's mother, and she is used to seeing big scenes, and she has always helped her master and housekeeper when she arrives at the Lan family, so she really doesn't think it's difficult to do this.
The master and servant here were secretly discussing, but poor Lan Jiayin didn't know at all, because on a whim, her own mother first went to track down the suspicious person, and then went to arrest the person who poisoned her.
On the evening of the second day, Lan Jiayin came out of her grandmother, and the green forging sedan chair had just entered the gate, when she heard the ink painting outside that the eldest lady had asked the fifth lady to discuss something.
She got off the sedan chair, tightened the big red peony pattern cloud brocade cloak on her body, and said with a smile: "I know, it's a sin to bother my sister to come on a cold day." ”
The ink painting saluted, and then stepped forward to help his fifth lady into the courtyard.
The mansion where the Lan family lives now is the third time that Lan Mingdong has changed after entering Beijing, and the mansion is full of five mansions, not to mention spacious, it is rare to be rewarded by the saints, living in such a house, everyone feels that there is light on their faces.
Because the old lady and his wife were only willing to live in the Herong Courtyard in the east, Mrs. Lan and his wife had no choice but to live in the main courtyard, which was much brighter and more delicate than the other courtyards.
Along the way, there are not only pavilions and pavilions, but even small bridges and flowing water that are popular in the south of the Yangtze River, occasionally dotted with seasonal flowers, which are pleasing to the eye.
The three large open halls of the main house are divided into five rooms before and after by the finely carved agarwood openwork screen, the front is the main hall for hospitality, the middle is a small study and a small flower hall, and the back is the bedroom of Mrs. Landa, a warm pavilion.
At this time, the lamp was already in charge, and the ink painting led Lan Jiayin through the main hall to the back, Lan Jiayin casually smoothed the white rabbit fur collar that was crushed by the cloak, and said in surprise, "Yo, there are new objects on this Duobao grid." ”
As he spoke, he leaned up to take a closer look, and it turned out to be a glass cover containing a jade Ruyi, green like a pool of living water, in the candlelight, more and more attractive.
"Mother Hu is back to the Hou Mansion today, this is the old lady over there." Mo Hua said with a smile, and pinched Lan Jiayin's arm with no weight or lightness.
Although she doesn't know what the specific thing is, but her eldest lady is angry and invites someone to come, it is obvious that there is something, her fifth lady does not smile or talk on weekdays, and the reward is the most generous, just ask who would not like such a generous and kind little master?
No, don't you look at the elf girl in the ink painting, didn't she voluntarily warn Lan Jiayin?
Lan Jiayin smiled happily on her face, but she was shocked in her heart, and she couldn't help but think to herself, "Look at the ink painting like this, there must be something wrong with my mother." ”
"I just don't know, what kind of thing is this, it fell into her old man's eyes?"
