Seventy-sixth
Because Zhao Yiming was beaten, his mother Aunt Liu escaped the punishment of being sent to the family temple. This is not so that Aunt Liu can take care of her injured son, but Aunt Liu begged to see her son no matter what, and she didn't want to wait to see the miserable appearance of her son being beaten, and her heart ached, and she fainted.
The doctor who happened to invite Zhao Yiammonium also came, and by the way, he also diagnosed her pulse, but under this diagnosis, Aunt Liu was actually more than a month pregnant, and suddenly the fourth master smiled, and his face became a chrysanthemum.
When Aunt Liu in the old man's room was pregnant, he was sour, his eldest brother was many years older than him, he was in his forties, and he could still impregnate a woman, but he was only in his thirties, why didn't he see He's stomach move?
For this reason, he worked hard in Aunt He's room day and night, who would have thought that this good paddy field had not sprouted so far, but Aunt Liu's dry land actually had a small seedling first. It really made the fourth master suddenly love her as if he loved her like flesh and blood, and personally ran to beg Mrs. Tai to spare her this time.
Mrs. Tai saw the child in her belly, and did not send her to the family temple for the time being, so she was grounded in the courtyard of the fourth room. If she can find it back, she may be exempted from punishment after giving birth, but if she can't find it, after she gives birth, she will still be locked up in the small Buddha hall, which can be regarded as giving Cai Wei an explanation.
Cai Wei saw that she had been making trouble for half a day, but she still hadn't found her jade phoenix back, and she was depressed, who wanted to be in the afternoon, so four grandmothers came from Yingchuan Palace, saying that they were ordered by the concubine to pick up Miss Zhou and go to the palace to live for a few days.
As soon as Zhao Mingxiang heard that the people from Yingchuan Wangfu were coming, he hurriedly walked to Cai Wei and whispered: "Wei girl, since you moved to my Qiutang courtyard, we live in a courtyard, aunt I love you the most, and now the concubine sends someone to pick you up, although it is your blessing, but there is no girl in the palace, although you go to accompany the concubine during the day, but at night you are the only one, don't you want to go home." It's better to let your cousin Wan accompany you, and you two sisters and sons can take care of it! ”
Cai Wei was suddenly a little embarrassed, this was the first time she was invited to Yingchuan Palace, how could she bring someone else without the permission of the master. She was thinking about how to refuse her second aunt politely, when she saw that the four grandmothers in the palace had already walked in, all of them were clean and refreshing plain jackets and green skirts, and they all went to greet Mrs. Tai and them.
Mrs. Tai hurriedly said: "Please excuse me, a few old mothers are really polite!" Sit down and take a break! ”
The four of them thanked with a smile, and one of the leaders said: "The old slave was ordered by the concubine to pick up Miss Zhou to live in the palace for a few days. Our concubine said that the rest of the ladies in your mansion are also good, but because there are few masters in our mansion, except for the courtyard of the concubine and the prince, the rest of the houses have been vacant for an unknown amount of time. As soon as the concubine went back yesterday, she ordered us to clean up a few boudoirs where the ladies lived, but where did she clean up in this eagerness, but the concubine was anxious to pick up Miss Zhou over, so she said that it would be good to take Miss Zhou to live with her first, and then invite a few girls in the palace to come over to enjoy it. ”
Cai Wei had already had a very good impression of Concubine Yingchuan before, and at this time, she felt that this cousin was really a person who couldn't be thoughtful, she didn't give this sentence too much, but she saved herself a lot of trouble.
Then she glanced at her aunt helplessly and apologetically, and the second aunt and wife saw that the concubines had said so clearly, and it was not easy to say anything, so on the way to accompany Cai Wei back to Qiutang Courtyard to pack up her things, she told her to please the concubine well, and turn around to take her cousin to the palace to go shopping.
When Cai Wei packed up her things and went to bid farewell to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai called her to her, took her hand and said, "It is your blessing that you can recognize the cousin of the concubine, and it can be regarded as one more elder to take care of you." It's also my grandmother who can't stand you, she has made you suffer so many grievances before, and your own teeth will bite your tongue, not to mention such a big family in this house, let alone you, sometimes even my ancestor has to suffer some grievances, I can't say it, what else can I do, but it's just a 'forbearance' word! ”
"Fortunately, your child is a generous heart, and will not go to the heart, grandmother understands in her heart, knows that you are a good child, and originally wanted to take you with me, so that you can live a comfortable life for two days before leaving the cabinet, who would have thought that an aunt who can't get on the table will steal your things. It's all because I, as an elder, didn't take good care of you, and I should have dealt with the Liu family to get angry with you, but now she has your uncle's heir, and she can't beat or scold. Grandmother promised you that she would bring this jade phoenix back for you, and you should go to the palace to accompany the concubine with peace of mind, but ...... Your grandmother will take care of this for you, so you don't have to bother the concubine! ”
Cai Wei knew that her grandmother was afraid that she would tell Concubine Yingchuan about the loss of the jade phoenix, which would make the house lose face, so she said: "Please rest assured that my grandmother can only fold this arm in the sleeve if it is broken, and there is no reason to take the affairs of this house to that mansion." What's more, since the old lady promised to give me justice, why should the grandson mention it to the concubine, the grandmother just rest assured! ”
Mrs. Tai patted her hand and said with a smile: "My Wei girl is really my grandmother's good grandson!" While taking a sapphire blue purse from Mama Wang's hand and putting it in her hand, "Here are some silver bills prepared by my grandmother for you, and when you arrive at the palace, you can use it to reward people, don't be stingy to save money for your grandmother, just reward it generously, don't let people look down on us, talk behind your back!" ”
Seeing that Mrs. Tai said this, Cai Wei thanked her, said goodbye to the old lady, and took Mama Du, Xiangcheng, and Basho with the four grandmothers of Yingchuan Wangfu out of the second door and sat in a sedan chair and went to Yingchuan Wangfu.
Anyuanbo's Mansion is not very far from Yingchuan Palace, and after less than an hour, Cai Wei heard the mother-in-law of the sedan chair outside in the sedan chair that she had arrived at the palace, and she also carried the sedan chair from the west corner gate to enter, and did not get off the sedan chair until outside the second gate.
Cai Wei got out of the sedan chair, and saw a round-faced grandmother about forty years old looking at her and smiled: "This must be our concubine's cousin and niece, Miss Zhou, I am Concubine Wen next to the concubine, the concubine is waiting for the girl in the room, and please go here." ”
Cai Wei is the first time to return to the palace, along the way, I saw that although this Yingchuan palace is much more magnificent than the Gonghou Mansion according to the regulations, but when it comes to magnificence, it is not as good as the Changping Houfu that she has been to.
When she arrived at the upper room where the concubine was, she saw that the furnishings in her room were not very luxurious, only a few simple and elegant utensils were placed, and there were no superfluous furnishings.
Cai Wei and Mama Du hurriedly greeted the concubine, and the concubine smiled and said, "Hurry up, come, sit next to me, let me take a good look at you!" ”
Mama Wen smiled and said, "The concubine hasn't seen enough of it for a day yesterday?" I also brought people into the house today to take a closer look. The old slave will retire, so as not to disturb you to see your niece, Sister Du, I will take you down to rest first, and see if the room I prepared for you is still satisfactory? ”
Mama Du and the others said goodbye to the concubine, leaving Cai Wei there to hold her hand and look at her carefully, she was not shy and twisted, and generously let the concubine stare at her, with a smile on her lips.
The concubine stared at her for a cup of tea, and then sighed: "Your eyes and nose are very similar to your father, but your eyebrows and lips are like your mother!" There was a lot of sadness in his words.
Cai Wei heard her mention of her deceased father and mother, and she felt a little sad in her heart, so she heard the concubine ask her: "Your father never told you that you still have such a relative as me, right?" ”
Seeing Cai Wei nodded, she asked her again, "Then do you blame your father?" ”
Cai Wei shook her head, "Father didn't tell me that day, and he didn't tell Mama Du that he knew, there must be his reasons, my father has always been just for my good, I believe he must have made his own arrangements!" ”
"Your father will not only put you in the Anyuan Mansion, he also entrusted you to me to take care of you, but I know that you arrived in the capital three years ago, but I never recognize you, because you are being calculated and bullied in the mansion, sending people under the fence, swallowing your anger, do you complain about me?"
Cai Wei didn't want this concubine to speak so directly, so she hesitated for a moment and said: "Since my father can entrust Cai Wei to the concubine, it can be seen that my father must have believed in the concubine's personality very much, and the concubine is afraid that there are other reasons for doing this." ”
"My father sent me to Nabo's mansion not to let me live that comfortable life, I have never suffered any hardships since I was a child, and I have suffered anything, so my father sent me to the mansion to be tempered, if it was just to allow me to live in peace, why not send me directly to the concubine in the first place? I think the concubine also understands my father's hard work, so he has never recognized me, lest I think I have a backer, and I will only ask for help in case of trouble, not for it! What's more, if I really have any danger in that house, the concubine will definitely not stand idly by. ”
Concubine Shen couldn't help but smile and said: "Your father's hard work on you is really not in vain, even if you are talented, but if it weren't for your father who disregarded the secular rules and taught you to read the hundred schools of thought and the subset of scriptures and histories, I am afraid that you would not have such a vision now." Then I'll test you again, since I didn't recognize you for the first three years, and let you struggle in Nafu, why do I want to recognize you as a niece now? ”
