Chapter 205: Back to the pot
accompanied the smiling face to send away the waves of people from the palace, and it was already dusk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The clouds were extremely thick, as if the sky was also depressed a few points, and the sun on the westward slope barely cast a huge halo through the thick clouds, in circles, not dazzling.
All the congratulatory gifts were sent back to Tingyu Xuan by Cuizhu and the maid, and they were only to be counted and stored in the small warehouse. It was already dawning hours, and Xia Xue'er and her mother did not go back to the courtyard, but went straight to the Livable Pavilion.
Several people in the side room were already waiting in the courtyard. The old lady smiled innocently for a day, the unhappiness in her heart has reached the limit, and there has never been such a grievance as now! He left everyone to come down to talk and relieve their boredom, but they only listened and did not say a word.
She didn't want to meddle in her granddaughter's marriage, and she knew that it was difficult for her to interfere. With her granddaughter's willful personality, not to mention that the future grandson-in-law should be able to glorify the lintel of the Xia family, as long as the person she marries does not disgrace the reputation of the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, it is enough for her to be gratified.
But in recent years, I don't know if she has heard a lot of gossip, or if she has always been facing the inferiority complex of the Zhao family in Jiangnan, she doesn't want this only granddaughter to marry into the royal family as she wishes, no matter how much benefit this is for the Xia family, what a rare opportunity!
People live a breath, but in the past year, they have not been able to breathe freely.
Maybe Mrs. Shizi of Qingguo Mansion is right, once the granddaughter becomes the princess, even if she has the great blessing of becoming the main palace lady of the mother world in the future, in addition to the title of Uncle of the Kingdom, I am afraid that she will not be able to go up any steps. What's more, I'm afraid I won't be able to spit out smoothly anymore!
If you are depressed, you will have a short life!
Thinking of this, I can't help but put the teacup in my hand on the small table, this effort, the strength is not small, the glazed white porcelain tea cup and the saucer collided, it was shattered, the tea seeped out from the cracks of the cup body silently, flowed along the small table, and finally gathered in one place, dripping from the edge of the table, wet the floor.
Everyone in the room was startled by this sudden collision, and for a while all eyes converged on the old lady, not understanding how this good speech could have such a big sullen fire? Especially Aunt Shen, before that, she was the last person to speak, but what she said was an interesting story about the third young master, could it be that such a remark could also make this daughter Lafayette unhappy?
He got up from his seat and apologized to the old lady in the hall with a trembling voice.
"The concubine is cheap, she said nonsense that shouldn't be said, and asked the old lady to read that the concubine had an unintentional sake, and spared the concubine this time!"
She was scared of being punished, the Buddhist hall was quiet in winter, and she really didn't want to kneel down!
Since the old lady came back from the main hall, she has been absent-minded, thinking about the sullenness she suffered today, and where she noticed what everyone in the hall said. Unintentionally, the resentment in his heart was discharged, and he still felt that he didn't know how to cover up the end, and some people couldn't wait to jump out and admit their mistakes, so they would go down the river, and it would be regarded as this Shen's inappropriate words that made him unhappy!
"You are a mother, and you still act like this, how can you be a good example for your second sister?!"
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Xia Xue'er's mouth instantly hooked up a sneer, lowered her eyes, and only looked at the back lines sewn on the cuffs.
Just looking at the old lady's flickering bewilderment and the dodging in her eyes now, just think about it, you can know that what she is thinking in her heart must not be what Shen said, but pity this Shen is afraid of being punished, and she is in a hurry to admit her mistake before she thinks about whether there is any offense and faux pas in her words, and she thinks that admitting her mistake early can be exchanged for a peaceful person, but she doesn't know that she will be a black pot back!
The old lady is an old lady after all, even if she makes something out of nothing, there is not the slightest weakness in her tone, which really scared Shen Shi a lot, trembling and not daring to plead any more sentences.
After this incident, everyone lost their interest in laughing, and the old lady was also in a bad mood, so she impatiently dismissed everyone. saluted, and watched Frost help her into the back room, and then came out of the Livable Pavilion one after another.
Shen's face was like ashes, and he led the personal maid in the direction of the Buddha hall, although he admitted his mistake and was sincere, he still couldn't avoid punishment, but fortunately, he didn't need to chant sutras.
"Aunt Shen, please wait!"
Shen Shi knew that it was the voice of the third young lady, so he really stood up, turned his head, and watched her walk towards him.
"What does the third lady command?"
Looking at Shen's blessed body, with a cautious look on her face, Xia Xue'er smiled indifferently and said, "Auntie is too worried, I heard that Yuxuan is also in this direction, the sky is dark, and my aunt and I can walk together for a while." ”
After that, the two maids who lit the lamp walked in front to lead the way, and the attendants knew that the masters had something to say, so they all deliberately lagged behind a few steps. Seeing this, Shen Shi reluctantly smiled, and walked behind Xia Xue'er, but he only fell half a step away.
"It's not the height of summer, the cold wind is getting more and more raging at night, the Buddha hall is cold, and the aunt only brings two maids, and the lamp is really a little thin. After a while, my son stopped at the door of Tingyuxuan, added two lamps, and burned a hand stove to hold it! ”
Shen Shi was slightly stunned, she didn't think that what Xia Xue'er said to herself would be like this, and she couldn't help but think about the intention of the third young lady.
"Auntie, don't think about it, I don't mean anything else."
Shen's little bit of caution can't hide from her, although Xia Qiaoyun has repeatedly opposed her before, but one yard is one yard, and she can still carry this idea.
There are only a few mothers-in-law in the Buddhist hall, there is no fasting festival, and there is no need to chant sutras, this time it is estimated that they have already stopped, Shen's courage is already small, in her eyes, the huge Buddha hall with one or two candles occasionally swaying under the cover of the dark night is afraid that it is like a very gloomy cemetery!
Shen hurriedly opened his mouth to defend, "Third Miss, don't misunderstand, the concubine has no intention of offending, thank you in advance for your kindness!" ”
Xia Xue'er smiled slightly, and then said: "Auntie should also eat a trench to grow wise, some words can't be said nonsense, but some mistakes can't be confessed." ”
Shen's body was stunned, the third lady said it so bluntly, where would she not be able to hear it!
Ever since Bai Yining left in fear of sin, the third young master has been like an invisible person in this mansion. Although the third young lady was bumped into and severely punished the old lady because of the slave bullying in the garden earlier, the bullied third young master reappeared in people's field of vision, and was settled by the lady herself, but no one dared to bully him anymore, but the old lady didn't like him either, and she couldn't remember to ask him about his current situation for half a month, what happened today, she just said a joke, but it made the old lady angry!
No wonder I always feel that today's events are so strange! (To be continued.) )
