Chapter Eighty-Four: Acceptance
The grandfather sat down to taste tea, Chen Xu suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile, "I went out to find Linghui just now, and I saw that she was covered in mud, and I happened to meet the eleventh prince and a young lady in the house, so I asked the young lady to take the little girl back to freshen up, but I forgot to ask which room it was." ”
The second old lady smiled with a beard, "What's so difficult about this, I'll send someone to call Xiuyi to ask." ”
Chu Xiuyi sent Xiusun to the courtyard of the old fourth room and went back to the outer courtyard, and when the second old lady sent someone to look for him, he happened to walk back to the gate of the courtyard. Then he followed the little guy into the second old lady's study.
Seeing that Master Chen and Xu Shisun were also there, everyone saluted first, and then sat down, and the second master asked who was the one who carried Linghui back to the inner courtyard.
Chu Xiuyi glanced at the two of them without a trace, secretly reassured that they should not be complaining, and she didn't say much, but said, "It's Xiusun from the old fourth room." ”
The second old lady smiled and said to Chen Xu, "This is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, that Xiusun is your cousin's granddaughter, the most generous and benevolent, she should call you a cousin, and she will let her kowtow to you." ”
What adjectives to use are not good, but only to say generosity and benevolence.
Chen Xu remembered Fang Cai Xiusun's little appearance that he couldn't wait to eat him, and said with a smile, "This is really a coincidence." ”
Chu Xiuyi pinched a sweat beside him, when Fang Xiusun was scolding, he had been watching from the side, and no other people in the courtyard had passed by, and now these two did not complain, and the second old lady gave two more sentences, there should be no problem.
The second old lady introduced Chu Xiuyi and them again.
Chu Xiuyi gave Chen Xu a junior ceremony, and Xu Jingxing performed a peer ceremony, and the second old lady ordered someone to go to the kitchen to notify the banquet, and invited several old ladies at home, the old man and the young master to accompany him.
A group of gentlemen pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and only went back to rest until late.
——
This Xiusun was sent back to the fourth room by Chu Xiuyi, handed over the little doll in her arms to Ren's mother, and instructed the maid to prepare hot water.
turned around and said goodbye to Chu Xiuyi, "Today is my sister's recklessness, causing trouble to Brother Eleven, there is Mother Ren here, she will take care of a qiē, the second old lady in the outer courtyard is going to ask you to question, Brother Eleven will go back." ”
Chu Xiuyi wanted to tell Xiusun a few words, but listening to her speak very organized, she should have calmed down, so she didn't say more.
The two saluted each other and said goodbye.
Xiusun turned around and entered the main room, and saw Linghui sitting obediently on the Luohan bed, holding a little mouse with a folded handkerchief in her hand and playing happily.
"Seventh sister, whose child is this, she looks so beautiful." Xiuzhi heard the movement and came into the house to take a look.
Linghui raised her head, smiled with her mouth open, and shouted "Auntie" in her mouth.
Xiuzhi was stunned, and Xiusun snorted angrily.
Xiuzhi raised her eyes and saw that Xiusun was dressed in a wolf, and there was a lot of color hanging on her head, she was startled, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiusun smiled bitterly twice, "It's hard to say, Sister Xie Liu cares, I'm not in the way." ”
Xiuzhi didn't ask, just said, "I'll look at it here, you go and tidy up and change your clothes first." Then he called his maid in and asked Ah Hong to serve her first to wash her face and comb her hair.
Ah Hong is not good at serving, Xiusun thanked her, called Ren's mother, entered the clean room, washed her face, wiped her hands clean, and smeared medicine on her head.
Xiusun bit her lip and endured the pain, only to see that Chen Xu's dead head was about to explode, and only then did she feel the pain when she was drugged, "It's okay, the child doesn't know the severity, she wants to wear flowers for me." ”
The little magpie has returned from outside.
"Miss, I'll go back to you after sending things, Huaiye in the eleventh young master's courtyard said that you went back to the inner courtyard, and I came out of the eleventh young master's courtyard again, and I met the eleventh young master being called by the second old lady for questioning." She was a little worried, what if those two hateful-looking adults went to the second old lady and sued her young lady.
Xiusun comforted her and said, "It's not in the way, you go wash your hands first, and when they bring the hot water, let's take a bath for Linghui together." ”
The place where Xiusun was mad was in front of the second old lady's study, where it looked open, but the people who came and went were all the people of the second old lady, and she wished that the second old lady felt that her rotten wood could not be carved, so that she would not have to be married out in exchange.
The little magpie has always believed in her own young lady, since the young lady said that it was okay, it must be fine, so she didn't ask more.
Suddenly, the little maid carried the bucket fish into the clean room, Linghui was still small, just enough to sit in the copper basin for bathing, so there was no need to worry about catching a cold.
Xiusun was still young, and Ren's mother didn't let Xiusun do anything, only let her watch from the side.
I bathed Linghui, dried my soft hair, wrapped it in a warm cloak, and turned on the lamp.
It was early spring, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was very large, Xiusun was worried that Linghui was blowing a cool breeze, so Ren's mother put Linghui on her bed and dropped the tent.
I opened the bag of small clothes, and sure enough, there was only an outer coat, and if I looked carefully, the clothes looked bright on the outside, but the inside was very poorly made, the stitches were uneven, and even the threads were left outside.
Xiusun's face was not very good-looking, and when she saw Xiuzhi's puzzled face, she pulled her and whispered about Linghui's situation.
Xiuzhi suddenly realized that when she was playing with this child just now, she kept hearing her keep shouting "auntie" and thought that this child was the concubine of which family, and she was very close to her aunt, but she didn't look like she was wearing it.
"It's too much," Xiuzhi said indignantly, "to attack a child who can't speak." ”
Seeing that Linghui didn't have a close-fitting coat, she hurriedly instructed the close-fitting maid to fetch the cotton cloth, "I only rubbed the cotton cloth in the past two days, cut a small piece of it, and make a close-fitting vest for this child first." ”
"I'm tired of my sister." Xiusun gratefully shook Xiuzhi's hand.
Xiuzhi felt a little weird, Xiusun's reaction was as if the child was hers, but she didn't think much about it, took the cloth in the maid's hand, and spread it on the Luohan bed.
Seeing that the lights were not bright, Xiusun persuaded, "Sixth sister, let's sew a small pocket first, cut down the cloth, don't wrap the edges, sew a few ties and wear them first, and give the rest to the needle and thread people." ”
Xiuzhi nodded.
The sisters made a simple little pocket in three times and two times, no embroidery, no edging, but soft and comfortable, Xiusun was quite satisfied, this side just put on Linghui, and there was a maid outside to pass the word.
"The second old lady left Lord Chen and Xu Shisun to drink, saying that she entrusted Miss Linghui to Miss Linghui to take care of her for one night."
Hmph, just caring about drinking, her own daughters don't know to take a look, Xiusun slandered with disdain, but she was thinking in her heart to wait for the second old lady to come back tomorrow, and ask Xiuyun for two pieces of clothes from her childhood to deal with Linghui first.
