Chapter 59: Retention
The place where she had just knocked down Grandpa Xiao was not very far from the second old lady's study, and she tried to take the path with fewer people with her memory, and after a while, she saw the side door of the courtyard of the second old lady's study.
The little man who guarded the door knew her, and came forward to salute, but when he saw the strange scribe and the little man behind her, he looked puzzled.
Xiusun pretended to be a big lama and said, "This old gentleman is a friend of the second old lady, you can quickly call Mr. Shen over." ”
The little guy looked at her again and went away.
Xiusun turned around and said enthusiastically to Gonggong Xiao, "Old gentleman, why don't you go to the pavilion in front and wait, I'll ask someone to make tea for you." ”
Mr. Shen is the number one staff member of the second old lady, responsible for managing the second old lady's documents, and rests in the small courtyard behind the outer study on weekdays.
The second old lady is definitely not in the study at this time, Xiusun thought that he could let Mr. Shen refer to it first, so that the second old lady still has room to maneuver.
Father-in-law Xiao followed Xiusun's fingers, saw the passage of people coming and going in front of him, and smiled, "Sister is polite, let's wait here for a while." ”
After a while, Mr. Shen came out with the little guy who was guarding the door, and when he saw Gonggong Xiao, he immediately led him in enthusiastically, and sent the little guy to invite the second old lady to come over immediately, and Xiusun retired in time.
Mr. Shen obviously knew Gonggong Xiao, and knew that the second old lady would definitely see him, perhaps, this was not the first time they had come into contact.
When did the second old lady have such a close relationship with the former eunuch of the celebrant Zhangyin, there is a conspiracy, a big conspiracy.
She walked all the way to the inner courtyard along the corridor of the hand, muttering in her heart, if Grandpa Xiao was really assigned to Jinling, I don't know who the current palm print eunuch is, is Dongchang Factory still the original Liu Gonggong, and the personnel changes of the eunuch are also very unpredictable.
When Xiusun turned out of the side door of the second old lady's study, she just caught up with Xiurui to get into the sedan chair.
The festive and noisy gongs, drums, suona, and deafening firecrackers, Xiu Rui, who was wearing a red wedding dress, cried twice, covered the hijab of the dragon and phoenix, and sat in the eight-carried sedan chair by the second young master Chu Xiujing.
The sedan curtain embroidered with colorful origami peony fell, and finally isolated the reluctant eyes of the mother's family, the fourth wife chased two steps and held the pillar in front of the hall to wipe her tears.
With a loud and long shout, the sedan chair surrounded by red Yanyan and the embroidered sedan chair slowly lifted, and went out of the gate with the drum music honor guard.
The bridegroom got on his horse outside the door and walked in front of the line, and Xiusun didn't even have time to glance at the front, only thinking that the figure was quite tall. Xiurui went to the sedan chair to say goodbye to the elders in this hall, and when Xiusun came in, she saw that the second old lady was also there, and the second old lady disappeared in a blink of an eye, so she should have gone to see Grandpa Xiao.
Xiusun saw that in the corner in front of the hall, Xiuyun and Xiuqian were sitting on the railing under the pillars eating cakes, and the two nurses were standing beside the two of them, their faces were a little pale, and they should not have recovered from the vigorous exercise.
Xiusun took the little magpie over and pouted, "You two, leave me behind and run by yourself." ”
Xiuqian was very happy to see Xiusun, "Seventh sister, you're here, you're really slow." ”
Xiusun nodded at Xiuqian's forehead, pretending to be angry and said, "You still think I'm running slowly, obviously you're running too fast." ”
Xiuyun laughed beside her, "Seventh sister, can you see your new brother-in-law?" ”
Xiusun shook her head regretfully, "Did you see that?" ”
Xiuqian became excited, "My eighth sister and I were running fast, and I happened to see the second brother-in-law come in and kowtow to the elders." ”
"How's it looking?" This is the gossip that the little sisters are most interested in.
Xiuyun said, "It's very good, I think it's a good match with the second sister." ”
Xiusun poked her shoulder, "How old are you, you know how good you are?" ”
The ladies all went to the inner courtyard in twos and threes, and the second old lady saw that Xiuyun was still clubbing in the corner, so she sent the maids around her to tell them to go back to the inner courtyard quickly, and the little sisters looked at each other and smiled, and walked back hand in hand.
There were already people in the embroidery building, and a few older sisters were not good at going out to see, so they had to wait for the information brought by the Xiuyun sisters, and then Xiuyun was excited again, and she danced to describe the new brother-in-law as having nothing in the sky and the earth, and the sisters felt very helpless when they saw her like this, and they were also happy for Xiurui. Although it is said that people cannot be good-looking, what girl has no expectations for the appearance of her future husband.
Marrying a daughter is also lively for a while, and when the sedan chair leaves, the house will be deserted, the inner courtyard invited the storyteller, and the outer courtyard opened a play, maintaining a lively atmosphere until dusk, after using the main seat, the guests dispersed.
Early the next morning, the old lady took a few sisters back to the Foshou Lake Courtyard, but left Xiuguan behind, and generously said that Xiuguan would accompany Chu Pei to live for a while, and the aunt and nephew would be companions.
Chu Pei happily promised to take good care of Xiuguan, and thinking of the old fourth room that the seventh old lady told her, the original excitement and sense of accomplishment were not so strong.
The seventh old lady was a little dumbfounded, she thought that this matter was over, but she didn't expect the old lady to be so "generous".
The old lady didn't care about the stunned look of the seventh old lady, took her hand and thanked her for taking care of her in advance, and gave the seventh old lady two hundred taels of silver as Xiuguan's use, which was to hand over Xiuguan to the seventh old lady.
The seventh old lady didn't accept it, but she couldn't bear the old lady's persuasion, so she had to accept it in the end.
The seventh old lady was unhappy in her heart, secretly blaming her daughter for finding trouble for herself, and now Zixiuguan asked her to take care of it, if there was something missing, or even if something was wrong, she was not a person inside and out.
had to quickly ask someone to clean up the house for Xiuguan, and made up his mind that he would rather stick it himself than make Xiuguan feel wronged, and then lost the face of the second room.
In the afternoon of the same day, the old lady sent a capable mother Liu to the old house in Jiangpu with Xiuguan's usual clothes, of course, she was ordered to stay there and serve Xiuguan, and she would not come back.
At the same time, the seventh old lady also sent a mother to Chu Pei's side.
The old lady took Xiusun back to the Foshou Lake Courtyard, the eighth old man and Ruan Shi greeted at the gate, and there were Shen's mother and Chen's mother standing behind, Xiusun looked over and raised her eyebrows, this couple looked like they actually had a feeling of Qin Se and Ming, she rubbed her eyes, and wanted to confirm whether she was blind.
The old lady got out of the car, held Ruan's hand and said, "You haven't been out for three months, what are you doing when you come out, go back and lie down." ”
Ruan Shi was supported by Chen's mother to give the old lady a blessing, and said with a smile, "Mother, where am I so squeamish, Sister Ru wrote to say that it is necessary to exercise properly to give birth when it is smooth." In the past few days, the old man has accompanied me for a walk in the yard every day. ”
When the old lady heard this, she nodded with satisfaction and praised the eighth master for being sensible.
The eighth master stepped forward to salute his mother, and he was embarrassed to see that Ruan's words were good for him, but he also received Ruan's favor. Xiusun stepped forward to salute her parents. The family was surrounded by a large group of maids and women and walked inside.
Ruan Shi took the old lady's arm and walked in front, and the eighth old man followed behind and looked at it with a smile, it was really a beautiful picture of mother and son filial piety, and harmony between husband and wife.
Of course, this is a superficial phenomenon, otherwise why would the old lady leave Shen's mother at home. (To be continued.) )
