Chapter 63
Mother Jia affectionately pulled Jia Baoyu back into her arms, "What do you do when you stand up, these things have nothing to do with you in the first place." Mandarin duck, is there any rose brine? Go make a bowl to quench your thirst with Baoyu. β
The mandarin duck answered, turned around and told the maid to go.
Jia Baoyu was crooked in Jia's mother's arms, but her eyes looked at the restless Mrs. Wang from time to time, Jia's mother saw it, and sighed in her heart, in the end, she was her own child, and she was thinking about her mother after all! Seeing that Baoyu was in a very pitiful situation, Jia Mu shook her head, "That's it, you guys go down!" β
Mrs. Wang's face was blue and white for a while, and she didn't recover for a long time, and only after listening to Jia's mother's words, she eased up, "Yes, I wrote down the old lady's words." "No matter how stupid she is, she knows that something is wrong. Otherwise, Yuan Chun wouldn't have acted like this. Even if she was raised by an old lady, she crawled out of my belly after all, and she will definitely go towards me. Could it be that what happened to Yuan Chun in the palace and he had to rely on the old lady?
Mrs. Wang's heart was stunned, and she couldn't help but look up at Jia Mu, and just bumped into Jia Mu's eyes, she saw clearly, there was a trace of contempt, a trace of disdain, and a trace of pride in her eyes!
Madame Wang held back her anger and slowly retreated. Wang Xifeng took Ping'er to follow behind him, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Walking out of Rongqing Hall, Mrs. Wang suddenly glanced back, Wang Xifeng was standing behind her, and happened to see the coldness and hatred in her eyes. Wang Xifeng was shocked and hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
Mrs. Wang smiled faintly, "Daughter-in-law Lian, go back first!" β
Wang Xifeng Nuo should be.
After Mrs. Wang went back, she waved away a group of people who were waiting, and only let one person from Zhou Rui's family go in to serve, and after whispering for a long time, Zhou Rui's family took the order and left.
After Zhou Rui's family went back, he didn't have time to drink the water, so he hurriedly called back his son-in-law Leng Zixing, and instructed: "The second wife has ordered, hurry up and wait outside the Fang family's house in Fulu Lane, if the Fang Neixiang comes back, just say that the second wife asked what happened to the mother, if there is a need for the second wife, just command!" β
Leng Zixing happened to be drinking outside, and his mouth was full of alcohol, "The second wife is also really, didn't Fang Neixiang just go out from Jia's house?" If you have something to ask, why don't you just stop him and ask me! Fulu Lane is several streets away from here, and Fang Neixiang is on an errand in the palace, and he doesn't know if he can come back for a while, isn't this a toss? β
For the reason why her daughter Zhou Ying only gave birth to two daughters to Leng Zixing, Zhou Rui's family felt a little shorter in front of her son-in-law, and Leng Zixing also complained about it, if it weren't for Leng Zixing and his wife to make a fortune, let alone divorce his wife and marry another, I'm afraid that the second room would have made a lot of concubines.
Zhou Rui's family was also a little angry at this time, "What are you doing with yellow soup and talking nonsense!" You will do whatever the master's family explains, and dare to pick and choose! If you really delay the master's business, you can't afford to pay for a few! Don't go yet! β
Leng Zixing snorted, he didn't dare to make too much trouble with his mother-in-law, so he scolded and scolded in his mouth.
Zhou Rui heard the movement, raised his feet and stepped out, "What do you ask him to do, I'll go!" β
Zhou Ruijia gave him a blank look, "If you have a son-in-law who can speak, I don't have to look for him!" You are a stuffy gourd, don't offend Fang Neixiang, delay your wife's affairs, and our family together will not be enough to compensate. β
Zhou Rui stopped talking.
Leng Zixing went this time, and he didn't come back until the middle of the moon, and when he came back, the wine was also awake, and his mind was a lot clearer, he went straight to his father-in-law's house, "I asked the second wife, Fang Neixiang didn't say anything, only gave this note, saying that it was urgent, and let the mother-in-law give it to the second wife!" β
Zhou Rui's family didn't say a word, and hurriedly went to the house.
Mrs. Wang was also waiting anxiously under the lamp at this time, and even Aunt Zhao's contrived laughter in the West Chamber could not divert her attention. It's easy to look forward to Jin Chu'er coming in and reporting, "Madam, Sister Zhou is here!" β
"Let her in!" Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up and she hurriedly shouted.
Zhou Rui's family hurriedly walked in, and Mrs. Wang asked Jin Chu'er to take people down, leaving only one person from Zhou Rui's family in the house. Mrs. Wang's literacy is limited, and she only understands what is written on the note. In fact, the note is very simple, it says, there is a difficulty, the old lady needs to take action, I hope not to go against it.
Mrs. Wang read the note, her face was expressionless, Zhou Ruijia understood what she meant, brought a lamp over, turned on the lampshade, Mrs. Wang still put the note on the candle with a blank face, and the candle quickly ignited the note. In a matter of moments, the note was reduced to ashes!
"I've endured it for so many years, so why not endure it for a few more days? It's me who is too anxious and burdens my mother! It took a long time for Mrs. Wang to spit out a sentence! Then he got up, went to the small Buddha hall, knelt in front of the Bodhisattva, closed his eyes, twisted the Buddha beads in his hands, and chanted words in his mouth.
Zhou Rui's family didn't dare to leave, so they had to wait on the sidelines.
At the same time, Xia Zhi also hurriedly walked to Shi Xiangyun's side, Shi Xiangyun was reading a book in the study with Lin Daiyu at this time! Xia Zhi came in such a hurry, Shi Xiangyun thought something had happened!
"What's going on?" Shi Xiangyun asked with the book.
Xia Zhi looked around, there was no one else in the room, so he told what he knew, Shi Xiangyun frowned and said, "You heard it right, right?" So Leng Zixing really said that? β
It turned out that a young mother-in-law of the Shi family was sick, and she happened to be at home to visit her mother today, but when she came back, she saw Leng Zixing scolding and walking back, "Hmph, once you have your ambition, you will be arrogant, but when you are pregnant, you dare to say goodbye to the old lady!" It's a pity that ginger is still old and spicy, no, there is a request for it! β
The young woman was confused, but she recognized that this person was the son-in-law of the second wife of Rongguo Mansion who accompanied Zhou Rui's family, and thought that these words were important, so she hurried back, and other people didn't dare to tell sΓΉ, only sΓΉ the summer solstice, and the summer solstice didn't understand what it meant, so she had to tell Shi Xiangyun truthfully.
Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu understood what had happened, and in connection with what had happened in the past few days, they probably figured out the truth.
"I see, I said, how did the eldest sister marry Baoyu in a dignified manner! It turned out to be pregnant! Lin Daiyu pouted and said. It turned out that he had confidence, so he crossed the old lady to marry Baoyu!
But what does the second half of Leng Zixing's sentence mean? What does it mean to be demanding? I heard that the prime minister is here again, and it's especially for the old lady. You say, what's going on? Shi Xiangyun asked curiously.
Lin Daiyu was just about to say something, but Mama Jiang came in with the curtain lifted, "It's better not to be curious, girls!" After all, this is a private matter, and the girls are not good at interfering. β
Shi Xiangyun smiled wryly: "I didn't plan to interfere, and I wasn't curious, but I just asked casually." β
Mama Jiang said with a smile: "This matter is implicated in the palace, so the girls should not take care of it." As for that mother-in-law, the summer solstice girl must also be appeased, and she must not let this word spread from Yilan Courtyard! "After all, this is the fighting method between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Jiafu, and it is better for outsiders not to participate. In such a matter of the back house, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. In this way, the old lady has the upper hand at present, although the person who wins in the end may not be anyone, but it is good that the old lady has the upper hand at present.
Xia Zhi answered, and went down to command.
Shi Xiangyun didn't say it, but he thought in his heart, what does it mean to ask for others? If Leng Zixing is really talking about Yuan Chun and the old lady, then Yuan Chun is now a concubine and is pregnant, so what else does she need to ask the old lady for! Or did the old lady actually leave something behind?
It's just that it's useless to be curious, the old lady and Mrs. Wang won't tell her the truth, so they can only be secretly anxious, really, it's better to know than not to know! Shi Xiangyun leaned back in the chair and rolled his eyes.
Relatively speaking, Lin Daiyu's curiosity is smaller, she looked at Shi Xiangyun's appearance, smiled, and knew that this girl's temperament loves to break the casserole and ask to the end, but now that she knows half of the secret, with her temperament, she must not die in a hurry!
Someone guessed Shi Xiangyun's thoughts, and early the next morning, someone asked Mama to send a letter, which clearly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and the mystery in Shi Xiangyun's heart was solved. I see! It's just, how did he know so clearly? And he is anxious, sue himself for this matter! Could it be that there is that person by his side?
At this time, Shi Xiangyun had no joy and joy after knowing the truth, only the anger of being suspected of being monitored! He's so hateful!
On the sixteenth day, Jia Mu went into the palace alone. When she was respectfully welcomed to Fengzao Palace, Jia Yuanchun had already waited for a long time, and when she saw Jia's mother, she patiently waited for Jia's mother to finish saluting, and then ordered Jia's mother to be led to the inner room, and ordered the minions to go out. Fang Cai said: "Old lady! Save me! β
Jia Mu smiled: "Niang Niang said that she was laughing!" Niangniang is now a concubine, and she is pregnant, and her status is very stable! Where is it like before when I was raised by the old body, I need to be taken care of by the old body! β
Jia Yuanchun's face was stunned, and his face was a little delicate, "Old lady, I know that I shouldn't interfere with Baoyu's marriage beyond you, but I also ask the old lady to be considerate and considerate of me, she is my biological mother after all, if outsiders know, she is not even dissatisfied with her son's marriage, wouldn't it make people laugh at me?" β
Jia Mu smiled and did not continue to speak.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Jia Yuanchun's face, and he simply stopped talking, and the atmosphere became a little dull for a while. Jia Yuanchun also felt a little aggrieved in her heart, she is now a concubine, is it possible that she can't do what she wants? Can't even decide your brother's marriage?
