Chapter 275: Gossip
Hongchen didn't look at Qiao Jun, only sneered: "This Qiao Gongzi knows a lot, and he is sure that there are people in the rockery, and he is very deaf and clear!" ”
After glancing at Luo Niang, Luo Niang and Xiao Yan picked up the little gold and threw it to the ground: "There is still a play here, if you want to listen to the play, let him act by himself." ”
After speaking, regardless of Zhou Jing's trembling, he threw up his sleeves and left.
Luo Niang and the two of them hurriedly followed, one left and one right, and a group of people behind watched in amazement.
Brother Jun gritted his teeth, Tie Qing slapped him, Zhou Jing's face suddenly swollen, his face was incredulous, and tears rolled down.
Everyone else was taken aback.
Meifang suddenly awked.
Zhou Jing is Qiao Jun's cousin, although she came to seek refuge with relatives, she is also a serious lady, she is arrogant on weekdays, and she is more squeamish than her, the concubine of the Lu family's big house.
Sister Yao'er's face was not very good-looking, and she said angrily: "Sister Qiu is my sister, the daughter of our Lu family, I think some people will forget!" ”
She can't say anything too ugly in the end, not to mention that this kind of selfishness has always been difficult to say blatantly, and she can't say it.
But Qiu Niang represents the Lu family, today's banquet shows that she has been recognized as the daughter of the serious Lu family, even if she wants to admit it, there are already a lot of rumors outside, so today Qiu Niang is humiliated, and the daughter of the Lu family will be unlucky.
Sister Yao has also reached the age of saying kiss, and she herself will be greatly affected, and she will not hate this Zhou Jing to have a ghost.
As for Brother Jun, he is a cousin. Although he was dissatisfied, he couldn't help but excuse him. I didn't see that I was so angry that I hit people just now.
Hongchen went all the way back to the house, and his anger was gone. She wasn't particularly angry, she turned her head to look at Luo Niang and the two of them, and said with a smile: "Ahem, it's nothing, it's just that I think, if it's ...... Never mind. ”
If it was the original Lin Qiuniang, she would definitely like to be very strong in this situation and be able to protect herself and her mother, what she hates most is her cowardice and powerlessness. In that case, what does it matter if she is reckless.
Moreover, Hongchen is also really relaxed.
Now this world is not the one she knows at all, without foresight, there is no restraint.
The Lu family was still peaceful, and the little commotion between the children outside seemed to have never happened.
In fact, Qiao's is quite embarrassed. Zhou Jing is considered to be a member of her mother's family, even if she is a cousin, the relationship is not very far, and she complained to Mama Gao for this.
Mama Gao sighed: "Madam." It's not that the old slave doesn't speak well, it's that the cousin girl of the Qiao family is too unpleasant, and two girls from the children's school dropped out of school a while ago and went home. Outsiders only say that they are sick, but we still don't know. It's all Zhou Jing's sins and throwing dirty water on others. makes people can't stay, Brother Jun is the eldest son, and his wife will be the wife of the Qiao family in the future, so she can't just decide. ”
Qiao's frowned and nodded: "I'll persuade my sister-in-law when I turn around, hey, Sister Qiu has been wronged, you personally go over to appease and appease her, and send her my few cloud brocades." ”
Mama Gao smiled in response.
She accompanied Hongchen all the way to Fengcheng, and she had a good impression of this girl, and besides, this was at least their wife's daughter, so she should naturally be taken care of.
Most mothers-in-law must not look down on concubines, but there are favored aunts in the family who pull hatred, and the husband's other daughters, in comparison, are much more cute and sensible.
Hongchen has collected a lot of good things in the past few days.
Mama Gao gave Yunjin, an excellent material, which is better than what she used in the capital or inferior, but the color is more like her.
The Song family also sent gifts.
In fact, Song Zheng and his younger brother Kong Weiyang are very curious about Hongchen, what happened that day, now that I think about it, it seems that everything is a coincidence, and I haven't seen Hongchen do anything special, but if you think about it carefully, you are in harmony everywhere.
They hid in the cracks of the mountain, too nervous, it was okay when they couldn't move, and as soon as they could move, they accidentally made a few movements, and several times that Zhou Jing looked inside outside, but he turned a blind eye to them, and his strength was all towards the other side, which was really strange.
It's just that they are foreign men, and Hongchen is now the young lady of the Lu family, and she can't find a chance to figure it out when she is full of doubts.
As the days passed, the weather became colder and colder day by day.
This sunset snow.
Hongchen besieged himself into a cotton ball, lazily shrunk in the gazebo, clustered around the charcoal basin, and there were a few strings of vegetable skewers and meat skewers burning on the charcoal basin, flipping through the book casually, not willing to move at all.
There was a faint sound of a few little maids muttering outside.
These little maids are thirteen years old, and the youngest is only nine years old, all of them are third-class maids arranged by the hospital, because they are young, they can't do rough work and heavy work, they are all following the big girls to do chores, Hongchen They have few things, and they don't love to support children, and they will inevitably tell jokes when they are idle.
Hongchen doesn't mind, there's nothing wrong with being lively in the yard, although she loves to be clean, she doesn't want a few children to live with a fifty or sixty-year-old lady.
"Mrs. Gu is here again, our eldest wife is with us, and the eldest wife is kind-hearted and willing to help and help, and she is too lazy to take care of the second and third rooms."
"She's too, where is it so difficult? Didn't our old lady also give her a dowry of 1,000 taels of silver, and she could raise her brother with a dowry, so faceless and skinless came to fight the autumn breeze, no wonder even the old lady was impatient to see her. ”
The little maidens muttered.
Luo Niang sat next to her and inlaid a layer of fox fur on her own lady's big coat, which originally looked dull and immediately became glamorous, and she also listened to an ear of gossip with her ears sideways, and when she went back to the house to see her own lady, she sighed: "That aunt is the concubine of the old lady of the Lu family, and she was hurt very much in her early years, even her aunt can step on our old lady's foot, but unfortunately it is unlucky, the old lady went too early, and it was too late to settle them." ”
Hongchen rolled his eyes.
Xiao Yan also translated: "Why do you like the short gossip in the parents so much, it's not annoying enough!" ”
Luo Niang glanced at her, coughed and didn't speak, and Hongchen also smiled. Xiao Yan is not easy, and it is difficult for her. They were at Lu's house for a few days. It's all going well, only Xiao Yan doesn't know what's going on. Unexpectedly, a groom in the Lu family's stable, that person was an old man of the Lu family, who had a wife in the past, died in childbirth, and only the only daughter was left.
Xiao Yan refused, but the other party didn't give up at all. Now almost every once in a while, mothers-in-law and maids come to tell Xiao Yan about these messes, which makes her bored.
The master and servant were talking, there was a snap outside, and a short pole was smashed in, which happened to hang on the tree, and a lot of snowflakes fell and smashed the heads of the maids, making the chickens fly and the dogs jumped, Hongchen looked up, and the short pole was wrapped with a cloth head. If you can't hurt anyone, it should be used by children to play with pot throwing and archery.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the outside to kick and tap, and you pushed me and a few people popped up. They are all the little radish heads of the Lu family who have not yet reached the age of studying, and the maid naturally did not dare to offend these little masters, so she hurriedly picked them up and swept away the snowflakes on them. Send it back respectfully.
The rare hustle and bustle, Hongchen does not feel disgusted. Leaning against the window and looking out, I saw that the group of children were gone. A thin little boy slowly came out from behind the tree and walked along.
The child was very small, and he didn't follow his mother-in-law and maid by his side, alone, staggering, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and there were two frozen red on his cheeks, Xiao Yan looked at it and said, "It's the quality brother of this aunt's family." ”
Hongchen made a look, Luo Niang picked up Hongchen's short cloak, as well as cotton gloves, walked out and squatted down to say a few words to the child, and put the cloak and gloves on for him.
Brother Qian'er is very well-behaved, he stretched out his arm generously and asked Luo Niang to put a cloak on him, the cloak dragged on the ground, and the gloves were not good, but he was very satisfied, his big eyes narrowed, and he smiled very cutely, although he was thin, but it also hurt a lot, and he said in a milky voice: "Thank you, sister, sister gave me new clothes, I will invite my sister to eat candy next time." ”
Luo Niang suddenly laughed out loud, coaxing him to play again, but he didn't think about it, the child ran out of two steps, suddenly turned around, and said to Luo Niang seriously: "I'll marry you!" ”
"Poof!"
Hongchen heard it from afar and took a sip of tea first.
Luo Niang was also stunned, and said with a smile: "Does the little young master know what it means to marry?" ”
The kid blinked: "Don't you girls all want someone else to marry?" I heard Sister Zhou Jing say to Brother Qiao, if Brother Qiao refuses to marry her, she will definitely die, it is not good to die, if she dies, she will be the same as Yangyang, she can't eat delicious food, she can't play with her, so sister, don't worry, I will marry you. ”
Luo Niang was stunned for a moment, became serious, and stroked the child's hair: "Brother Qian, don't say this to others in the future." ”
The child was very puzzled, but after being whispered by Luo Niang a few times, he still nodded and agreed: "Okay, I won't say it." ”
After sending the child away, Luo Niang's expression was a little strange, Xiao Yan dragged her back and asked her to continue to work for her master.
Other people's idle affairs, what do they do, a girl like Zhou Jing will die or live at every turn, I don't know what to do.
Hongchen also had the same thoughts, she didn't want to pay more attention to that Zhou Jing, if she dared to make trouble on her head, how to teach how to teach her, there must be a next time, to ensure that this little girl knows what pain is.
But Zhou Jing is not a fool, she lost face once in Liyuan, and she can't wait for this matter to calm down quickly, where will she find trouble?
Since the day that happened, she rarely showed up in front of Hongchen, and sometimes she came over to ask the old lady to say goodbye, but she also shrank back, and was sent away without saying a few words, and she couldn't get to Hongchen, and the old lady didn't like her, no one in the Lu family thought she was good, and it was not easy for a beautiful girl to make so many people hate.
After enjoying the snow in the pavilion for a while, Sister Yao came to play with her after class, holding a plum blossom in her hand.
The flowers were obviously just cut off, still with the ice flowers, Xiao Yan took it, found a white porcelain plum bottle, and found some green leaves to match, and placed it on the round table in the pavilion.
The two laughed a few words, and Sister Yao said: "It's inconvenient to snow now, when the snow stops, let's go to Huishan Temple to worship the Buddha, where the vegetarian food tastes very good." ”
Jiangnan ladies want to go out for recreation, but also use an excuse such as worshiping Buddha and worshiping God, Sister Yao and their daughters have a lot of homework, and they want to take time out to be idle, it is not so easy, fortunately, she has been unwell recently, and the gentlemen over there know that they didn't leave her homework, so they let her relax at home.
"Call Brother Shangjun to go too."
Sister Yao glanced at Hongchen carefully, for fear that she would care, and explained, "Brother Jun'er won't be able to go out in a few days, he wants to marry, it's Sister Xin of the Taozhi County family, my aunt and uncle have invited the official media to come over, and they will be able to make a decision soon." ”
She was obviously a little happy.
"Actually, it's not Zhou Jing who is good, everyone else is good."
That Sister Xin was also their female student, and she knows the roots.
Hongchen smiled, noncommittal, she knew that Sister Yao thought that she was alienating that handsome brother, purely because of Zhou Jing, she liked to think like this, it was not a big deal, Hongchen would not have a problem dealing with a little girl, and after a while, she coaxed her away happily before picking up the book and continuing to read.
On the second day, it was the first sunny day after the snow, Sister Yao pestered the old lady early in the morning to go to the incense Buddha, the old lady is also a philanthropist, and was rubbed by her granddaughter for a while and agreed, Hongchen was a little lazy, but it was good to go out for a walk, so she asked Luo Niang to pack up her things, brought some snacks and medicines, and did not bring more, Hongchen led Luo Niang and Xiao Yan to ask the eldest lady to say goodbye, as soon as she passed, she saw that the atmosphere in the upper room was solemn, Sister Yao's face was full of panic, and her lips were faintly purple.
The eldest lady sat on the bed and wept.
There was a little guy kneeling at the door, with a white cloth on his head - this was there to report the funeral?
If you worship the Buddha or something, you must not go.
Because Zhou Jing is dead.
The cousin of the Qiao family was found early this morning and hung alone at the door of the main house of the Qiao family.
The maid who sprinkled the sweep in the morning was frightened and fainted, and one of them is still confused, and I don't know if it can be better.
I heard that she died a terrible death, her tongue was sticking out for a long time, her eyes were rolling, and her face was terrifying, and anyone who saw it would have nightmares.
"Hey, bad luck, bad luck!"
Qiao's was angry, but she still cried, no matter how bad Zhou Jing was, it was also a girl from her younger siblings' family, she and Zhou Jing's mother were also handkerchiefs when she was in the boudoir, although she didn't have too much contact, and she didn't like her very much, after all, Zhou Jing's mother was a concubine, but she was a classmate, breaking bones and tendons, as long as there was no deep hatred, she would definitely be close to someone when she got married.
The Qiao family is different from the Lu family, the rules are talked about in other families, and Qiao's father also has two concubines, which were given by her mother on her own initiative, all of them are the same as transparent people, very well-behaved, and none of them are demons, so she is not particularly sensitive to issues such as concubines and concubines, and of course she doesn't like concubines, but she has never been too disdainful, and she still has a little love for Zhou Jing's child.
Now that Zhou Jing is dead, Qiao's is really uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )
