One hundred and fifty-nine: Selfishness
After the dog days, the fragrance of osmanthus gradually wafted out of the house, and the ubiquitous fragrance of flowers penetrated into people's noses with the wind, and it seemed that even the air was sweet.
There have already been little girls gathered in twos and threes in the second room Qingyi Garden to pick osmanthus flowers, or make osmanthus cakes or keep hair oil, laughter and laughter.
The eldest lady hurriedly led people into the room through the osmanthus forest, and was angry at the girls for the first time: "It must be because I have always been good-natured, so I have so no rules!" Those who leave their posts today and go out to pick osmanthus flowers without permission will be fined half a month's money! ”
She has always been tolerant and kind to her subordinates, and she has never been so angry, and the people in the room looked at each other for a while, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads when they hung their heads.
Jin Ling quietly looked at Mama Jin, and saw that Mama Jin and Mama Zou were busy waving their hands and shaking their heads.
When the eldest lady sat down, Jinhuan hurriedly brought the tea, and carefully smiled: "Mrs. has worked hard all the way, although it is said that it has entered the autumn, there is still an autumn tiger, I asked the little girl to bring the ice bowl?" ”
The eldest lady pushed it a little impatiently, and supported Mama Jin: "You go to the old lady to have a look, and ask the old lady Yushu if her anger has subsided." ”
Mama Jin answered, and hurriedly went out to Ningde Courtyard to find the jade book.
Mother Zou was relieved when she saw that the eldest lady was willing to speak, stepped forward to Jinhuan Nunu's mouth, and rubbed her temples lightly for the eldest lady: "What's the matter, how can the good old lady be so angry, this is something that has never happened before." ”
Mrs. Song is not a powerful person, let alone a difficult mother-in-law. The eldest lady Li's family background was not good back then, and the Changning Bo Mansion was even more serious, but after marrying in, Mrs. Song never made an article about this, let alone stumbling on the eldest lady because of this. Even if she later entered the second wife Cui Shi, who had a good family background, Mrs. Song never favored one over the other, and was superior among the two daughters-in-law.
After so many years, Mrs. Song is probably the first time to give the eldest lady a look.
When she mentioned this, the eldest lady was even more irritable, she sighed and felt panicked, and closed her eyes in annoyance and didn't know what to do.
Today, the old lady Song made a big fuss, she just persuaded a few words, and was reprimanded by the old lady a few words - this is the first time she has married into the Song family in the past 30 years, and she really feels that she has lost face for half of her life.
Someone was looking for her outside the house, and Jin Ling came in after a trip, and reported to the eldest lady in a low voice: "The eldest young grandmother sent someone over there to ask if we have set up a meal." ”
Although the eldest lady was irritable in her heart, she was also worried about her grandson, and when she heard this, she hurriedly eased her face and ordered: "Go out and tell her that you don't have to come over to eat today, the weather is hot, don't move around at will, beware of provoking the heat." ”
Jin Ling saw that the eldest lady eased her expression, nodded as if she had been amnestied, and turned her head briskly and went out.
Zou's mother followed up and advised: "Don't be too anxious to get angry, I'm afraid the old lady is also in a hurry." After all, there are some things that children don't understand, and we have to know the stakes. If we really do what our eldest lady wants, then the situation of the sixth miss will be worrying, after all, the old lady values the sixth lady, and she can't slow down for a while like an eyeball. ”
"I also know that Xiao Liu'er is cute, and I also know that Xiao Liu'er has been able to endure recently. The old lady and the old lady all protect her and like her. Mrs. Song said in a low tone: "But so what? After all, it's just a little girl, Niangniang is struggling in the palace, in the final analysis, it's not because the Queen Mother thinks our family is the Wang family."
After saying this, Mrs. Song stopped talking, and stopped for a while before sighing again: "Although this matter was done wrong by the Wang family first, but it was Xiao Liu who made the trouble, if it wasn't for Xiao Liu, the old lady and the old lady would not have been so cruel to the Wang family." What has become of the mother in the palace now, can't she even tell the truth to the queen mother?! ”
There is a sentence that the eldest lady held back and didn't say it-not to mention that even if it wasn't Song Chuyi's fault, what would happen? A concubine in the palace, a nine-year-old girl, who knows how to choose.
In the past, I thought that Song Chuyi was scheming and smarter, and he couldn't hinder the affairs of their big house, and he couldn't hinder the interests of the big house, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Old Lady Song and Old Lady Song love Song Chuyi too much, and they can actually make such a big fire at the concubine for her, and make such a big fire at herself.
Their selfishness makes them unable to see the current situation, the embarrassment of the concubine, and the situation of the concubine and the Song family - they actually want the concubine to continue to bear the anger of the queen mother, and want the concubine to swallow this grievance herself.
But this is not just some small rewards, some jewelry, and some usual indulgence and pampering, this is in the interests of his daughter! Mrs. Song couldn't watch such a thing happen.
Mrs. Song put down the ice bowl in her hand and whispered to Mother Zou: "You go to the familiar eunuch Xia, ask him to deliver a letter to the palace, tell him to tell the concubine, and do what the concubine said." On the old lady's side, I will help persuade her not to worry. ”
Zou's mother didn't dare to delay, so she answered and asked her again: "He has a big appetite, and he asked for 2,000 silver last time he came to fight the autumn wind." This time we have something to ask him."
"Prepare two thousand taels of silver, and give it to him along with the slip from the last time." Mrs. Song sneered: "Isn't this kind of person just looking at money?" Just feed him. ”
The old lady is selfish, and so is she.
No matter how good Song Chuyi is, she is also a girl in the second room, what does it have to do with their big house? If you go out separately in the future, it will just call yourself a big aunt's friendship.
They wanted to protect her, but they couldn't let their daughter suffer for her because of this.
Mama Jin came in cautiously, and saw that the eldest lady was closing her eyes to recuperate, and there was no Mama Zou in the house, so she thought about it for a while, and walked up to her and said softly: "Yushu is a little ruthless, and it only took a few mouthfuls of lunch today to stop." also asked the little servants in the outer courtyard to wait, and when the old lady and the old man came back, they told them to go to Ningde Courtyard. ”
The eldest lady still closed her eyes and did not move, and it took a long time to raise her hand to indicate that she understood.
I wanted to tell the old lady about this, although she didn't open her eyes, her heart was not calm.
After all, the old lady is the head of the family, so she shouldn't be as emotional as the old lady, right? Not to mention the master, his own daughter and nephew, he always knows how to choose.
That being said, she still made up her mind that she would not be deaf or blind later, but would have to go over. (To be continued.) )
