Chapter Seventy-Nine: Self-inflicted anger

Early the next morning, the sun had just climbed into the sky, and on a few camphor trees planted in the southeast of Qiuhua Courtyard, a few magpies flew in from nowhere, chirping and singing non-stop.

Zhihua opened her eyes in the midst of the noisy birdsong. The medicated bath that Han's mother prepared for her was really effective, and after soaking for an hour, she lay on the bed with a lot of worries and fell asleep easily, sleeping peacefully all night, without even dreaming.

In order to let her recuperate well in the past few days and ensure that she is in the best condition on the wedding day, Han's mother specially told her not to let the maids tell her to get up early, and it is best to sleep until she wakes up naturally every day. At this time, the sun was shining outside the window, but there was no sound in the room.

"Bailan." Zhihua called out the door, walked over with her shoes and pushed open the window, and suddenly, the unique vitality of the summer morning mixed with the fragrance of the camphor tree, riding the breeze to rush to the face, so comfortable.

When Bai Lan pushed the door in, she saw the young lady standing by the window, her eyes closed and breathing in the fresh air. A few rays of sunlight leaking through the gaps in the treetops mischievously sprinkled on her radiant face. The originally dignified and gentle facial features became extremely dazzling under the illumination of this bright sun.

Bai Lan looked straight a little, and only came back to her senses after half a sound. Putting the basin with warm water on the wooden shelf, he beckoned, "Miss, the water is ready, come and freshen up." ”

There was also a cup of hot water that had already been poured on the shelf, and Bai Lan carefully poured a little bit on the back of her hand, the water temperature was just right, and then she handed it to Zhihua along with the willow branches stained with green salt.

Rinse your mouth and face and comb your hair. Breakfast was also on the table.

After drinking half a bowl of white fungus lotus seed porridge, Zhihua was about to pick up the shrimp dumplings on the small plate, when Han's mother, who had not seen her all morning, walked in. The afterglow swept to her eyebrows and twisted slightly. Zhihua suddenly lost her appetite. Put down the chopsticks, turned his head and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?" But what happened? ”

"Miss, Mother Liu came over early in the morning to spread the words of the old lady, saying that you have rarely come to greet her recently, and now you are about to get married. It's okay for you to be unfilial, I'm afraid that the world will question our Lu family tutor. Han's mother's voice was full of indignation.

Zhihua snorted slightly, got up and said, "What should I do?" She wants to tell me to go and say goodbye, so I'll go. Bai Lan, go find out my countryman's regular clothes. ”

Han's mother smiled, sweeping away the depression. "Look at the slave's memory. Just thinking about you, you are about to become the princess, and suddenly forget that the young lady is still a countryman. Hehe, I hope that when the young lady goes, the old lady had better not have breakfast. ”

There are three sets of uniforms for the villagers. One is the formal dress worn on the occasion of entering the palace and facing the saint, the other is the dress when attending the banquet, and the other is the regular dress worn at home. The three uniforms are of different styles, but the color is mainly alum red, and a lifelike peacock is embroidered with dark blue silk on the chest and back. The peacock's eyes are embroidered with a royal gold thread. When someone salutes the person wearing this costume, they can look up just in time to meet the arrogant golden eyes on the peacock's head. In the face of this rare gold. No matter how tall the momentum is, it can't help but be three points shorter.

And the old lady, who had just finished saluting with a breath, grinded her teeth secretly at the peacock's eyes. Originally, I wanted to seize the opportunity to block this girl in the last few days, but I didn't think that she would wear such a body, and now it became herself.

"The old lady is too polite, didn't the granddaughter say it earlier, our family doesn't have to be so polite." Zhihua picked her up weakly, and complained in an intimate tone.

Don't wear this outfit if you don't let people be polite! The old lady almost couldn't help but shout out this sentence, and in the face of Zhihua, who gave her a serious return gift, she snorted coldly, twisted her head to the side, and pretended not to see it.

Zhihua would not be stupid to keep the salute posture and wait for her to turn back, and when the etiquette that should have been done was done, she got up on her own and found a seat to sit down.

At this time, only the eldest lady and Zhihua were present, Zhixiang stayed in Xinxiangyuan to prepare for marriage during this time, Zhihua's marriage is over, and she is next. The old lady would not torture the ladies in the second and third rooms, and after asking for peace, she let them go back to their own yards early.

The old lady deliberately postponed the breakfast time as Han's mother hoped, and waited for Zhihua to come over to be her maid. It's a pity that she didn't expect that this girl would come over in the usual clothes of a countryman, she is a white-clothed old woman, and she really can't afford to serve her granddaughter in this dress.

Mother Liu, according to what the old lady secretly explained before, pinched the time to come over and ask her to move to the side hall for breakfast. However, she was busy directing the maids to set up the meal before, and she didn't see the scene just now. Therefore, when I came to invite the old lady, I happened to hit her when she was angry, and accidentally became cannon fodder.

"What a breakfast to eat if you don't have the sight to see! Some unfilial granddaughters wore this dress early in the morning, deliberately coming to my old woman to block it, who can still eat! The old lady scolded Liu's mother, but her eyes glanced at the only granddaughter present from time to time, and she scolded Huai.

The eldest lady sat upright in her seat, looking at her nose and nose, and her nose and heart, turning a deaf ear to Yiqiē. Mother Liu knelt on the ground, drooping her head, and didn't dare to come out, letting the old lady be angry.

Only Zhihua didn't care, and smiled slightly, "The old lady is angry, but which sister wore a white dress in the morning to make you unhappy?" My sister is still young, so you bother to teach more if you don't know anything, but the word unfilial piety can't be said at will, if it is accidentally passed out, how will my sisters marry in the future. ”

The eldest lady covered her lips with her fists, and Mother Liu's head was about to be buried in her chest, and both of them had their shoulders trembling slightly, obviously smiling and enduring a hard time.

The old lady was so angry that her face turned blue by this counterattack, and she stretched out her index finger and pointed at Zhihua trembling slightly: "You ......" gasped for breath, and the little reason she had left finally made her swallow the curses that she almost blurted out.

I don't know what she thought, she withdrew her fingers, not only suddenly calmed down her anger, but overflowed with a sneer: "Mother Liu, you will go back to the posts you just received." Let's just say that the wedding date of our eldest lady is imminent, and it is not suitable to meet guests. There are such posts these days, and they all deal with it like this. With that, he squinted at Zhihua, his eyes full of provocation.

Zhihua's eyelids jumped, and without waiting for Liu's mother to react, she stopped in a loud voice: "Wait." Since it's a post that came to visit me, it seems that it should be up to me to decide whether to see it or not, right? ”

The old lady took a sip of tea and snorted without smiling, "That's right." Mother Liu, then you go and reply to others, our Lu family has to prepare for the marriage in the past few days, and there is a shortage of manpower, so we will close the door. By the way, in the future, the Jiang family will hand over the greetings and gifts, and tell the concierge to throw them out directly for me, so I don't have to be polite to his family! ”

This time, Zhihua didn't stop it again, stood up and made a farewell salute, "Don't delay the old lady for breakfast, granddaughter farewell." ”

The old lady didn't expect her to react like this, and in shock, she blurted out, "Where are you going?" ”

Zhihua didn't look back, and replied as she walked: "Since there is a shortage of manpower, the granddaughter will go to the palace and the queen mother will give a few palace people down to entertain guests." Don't worry, the old lady, the granddaughter promised not to say in front of the queen mother that you were dissatisfied with the fact that the wedding date was set too quickly. ”

After the last word was spoken, the man had already walked to the door.

The old lady broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly shouted: "Come back!" ”

Zhihua turned a deaf ear and led Bai Lan away.

The old lady was angry, her eyes were shining, and she turned to look at Mother Liu, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Hurry up and stop her, you must not let her step out of the Lu family for half a step!" ”

Liu's mother hurriedly responded and hurriedly ran out. It's a pity that she was too anxious, and "accidentally" broke her foot on the cobblestone path to the stable, and waited for a cup of tea before the maid passed by, so naturally she couldn't stop the eldest lady. (To be continued.) )
