Smoke Willow Pavilion

"Mother."

Aunt Hu, who was kneeling in front of the Buddha and praying sincerely, couldn't help but get up immediately when she heard this familiar call, and glared at Du Ping, who should never have appeared here at this moment.

"Didn't I tell you, if there is anything, just let Mama pass the word over, don't come here by yourself?" Aunt Hu's face was full of condensation, as long as she thought that the courtyard where she lived was named "Smoke Willow Pavilion", it made her feel sick in her heart.

Even if she was a Qinglou woman, so what?

She is an oiran who sells laughter but not her body, not to mention the necessary skills of the nobles of the family, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her scheming and skill, far surpassing many people. If it weren't for the bad luck back then and being sent to Du Shilang's backyard, then, now, her life will never be like a pool of stagnant water, and she will no longer be able to find the goal of striving forward.

Hateful!

If you knew that Du Shilang's real favorite person was Qian Hanmeng, the sister of Qian Lishan, the eldest daughter of the lord of Anping County; If she had known that Du Shilang had watched the old lady and Aunt Li's aunt and nephew frame Qian Hanmeng's design in order to marry Qian Lishan smoothly, and she was also hidden behind the scenes, then she would rather give up the idea of leaving the Qinglou innocently, but really be a red-card Oiran reads; Great director!

Now, the only thing that is fortunate is that even if Du Shilang only had to come to her yard once when he first admitted her into the house, she was fortunate to have a daughter like Du Ping......

"Mother." Du Ping paused as she took a step forward, her face was full of pain, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something to comfort Aunt Hu, but those words had reached her throat, but she couldn't say it smoothly.

In the end, Du Ping could only look at Aunt Hu with a pitiful gaze.

"Alas......" Aunt Hu shook her head, "Forget it, since you're here, come and sit." ”

"Yes." Like a cheerful bird, Du Ping flapped her wings and flew to Aunt Hu's side, and put her arm around Aunt Hu, leaned over to Aunt Hu, and sniffed lightly: "Mother, your body smells so good." ”

"Look at you, you look like a puppy." Aunt Hu tapped Du Ping's forehead, grabbed Du Ping's hand, put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and then, because of her long-term worship of the Buddha, the smile with a trace of kindness and kindness similar to that of the Buddha was like a black and white ink landscape painting, and suddenly a heavy and gorgeous color suddenly appeared, and it immediately became vivid.

"Mother, you are so beautiful." Du Ping looked obsessed, and said in a daze, and couldn't help but raise her hand to caress Aunt Hu's face, wanting to hold back the fleeting charming smile.

"My mother is old, where is the beauty?" Aunt Hu said disapprerovingly, if you talk about beauty, back then, in the Qinglou, a song and dance attracted the popularity of thousands of people, words and deeds are full of arrogance from the bones, and the beautiful yearning for the future life of her is the real beauty.

Now, she has been smoothed out by the cruel reality day by day, and all the fighting spirit and passion in her heart are smoothed day by day.

"I say that my mother is beautiful, and my mother is beautiful!" Du Ping pursed her lips, her face full of anger, "Obviously, in the whole house, my mother is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted, why, my father just can't see your hard work and dedication......"

"Ping'er!" Aunt Hu snorted coldly, stopped Du Ping's chattering and complaining, and said in a particularly rigorous voice: "These words are not something that you, the daughter of the boudoir, can discuss casually. ”

Every time she called Du Ping's name, Aunt Hu would feel the resentment in her heart deepen.

It is only because "Du Ping", which is so casual that it gives people a kind of floating and uncertain, and no one pays attention to the feeling of duckweed, that is the Qian family's admiration from it, so that Du Shilang sent such a name after Du Ping was born, and since then, he has ignored her in Yanliu Pavilion!

Even if she knew Qian's intentions, for many reasons, Aunt Hu had to choose the nickname "Ping'er" to call Du Ping.

One qiē, just because, in the stage name of Aunt Hu in the Qinglou, there is a word "Ping".

It can be seen from this that when it comes to disgusting methods, if Qian ranks second, no one can rank first.

……

"Oh." Du Ping's mouth was flattened, and after answering, she changed the topic and said: "By the way, mother, I almost forgot to tell you, today, the fourth sister actually asked someone to send me two pairs of gemstone hairpins and a string of pearl bracelets." ”

"I inquired, and the eldest sister got two pairs of gold-encrusted ruby peony hairpins and a string of red coral bracelets, as well as an additional twelve pieces of fabric and ten purses, saying that they were for the eldest sister's makeup." Du Ping chuckled, her eyes full of ridicule and mockery, "It seems that the house will become more and more lively!" ”

Du Ping took out a pair of gemstone hairpins from her sleeves and said, "Mother, it is estimated that the fourth sister doesn't know how to choose gifts, so the hairpins sent are a bit old-fashioned and not suitable for me to wear, so I will transfer them to you again!" ”

Aunt Hu shook her head, declined Du Ping's kindness, and rarely opened her mouth to explain to Du Zhixuan: "Ping'er, the world thinks that rubies are rare things, but in fact, the best emeralds are rarer than rubies; The genius physician of space rebirth. ”

"This pair of hairpins, you keep them first, and then put them on when you go out of the house for a banquet in the future."

"Huh?" Du Ping blinked in surprise, looked at Aunt Hu, and then looked at the hairpin in her hand, which she felt was quite inconspicuous, and couldn't help muttering: "I didn't expect that the fourth sister was also kind." ”

"Could it be, this pair of hairpins is a gift for the eldest sister, but they were accidentally sent to the wrong place by the next person?" Thinking like this, Du Ping was a little restless, and there was a rare look of anxiety on her face.

"Mother, you say, if the eldest sister knew about this, would she think that I was deliberately provoking? Alas, so are these four sisters! Just now, I thought she was kind-hearted, but now I see, she wants to push me out and make me the cannon fodder that everyone is angry with! ”

"Mother, you say, how can this person's heart be so bad? I don't want to think about it, if it weren't for my help over the years, she would have been tossed and calculated by her grandmother and mother and others! It's really 'kindness is not rewarded', and in the future, I will never be able to do such stupid things again! ”

……

After Du Ping finished chattering and complaining, during which she accidentally said what Qian and Aunt Li had obtained, Aunt Hu's fingers pinching the teacup knocked over the teacup with a force.

"Huh? Mother, you're not hot, are you? Du Ping hurriedly got up, grabbed Aunt Hu's hand and looked at it, and was about to call the servants waiting outside to come in, but was stopped by Aunt Hu.

"It's fine, just some warm tea, out of the way."

Du Ping took a closer look and found that the back of Aunt Hu's hand was indeed not red, and after testing the temperature of the tea herself, the heart that mentioned her throat fell back to its original place, but she couldn't hide her curiosity and confusion and asked, "Mother, what did you think of just now?" ”

"Ping'er, do you know that my mother only got a pair of pearl phoenix hairpins?"

"What?!" Du Ping stood up suddenly, her eyes splitting, "How can the second sister be like this, no, I want to sue my grandmother!" ”

"Stop!" Aunt Hu snorted coldly, stopped Du Ping's footsteps, walked in front of Du Ping, and said in a low voice: "What are you going to say?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Du Ping's lips squirmed for a long time, but she found that even if she poked this matter out, anyone who listened to it would not think that there was anything wrong with Du Zhixuan's approach!

The Changfang Qian family is the housewife, the third-room Wang family is the second son's wife, and the gift is only slightly inferior to the old lady, and the second room Yu's is the wife, and the gift is slightly inferior, which is natural.

Aunt Li is a noble concubine and the old lady's maiden niece, so the gift she got was slightly inferior to that of the Qian family, and Aunt Hu was just an ordinary concubine sent by Du Shilang Shangfeng, and getting a pair of pearls and phoenixes was already considered a kindness to Du Zhixuan, the eldest lady.

After all, the other nameless and shareless maids in the room are rare to see even Du Zhixuan's face, let alone receive a gift from Du Zhixuan.

It was also at this time that Du Ping really recognized the identity of Aunt Hu and herself in this Yongcheng Waiting House!

"Original...... Unexpectedly...... "No matter how Du Zhixuan is killed by everyone in the palace, no matter how notorious Du Zhixuan is, but at present, Du Zhixuan has obtained a royal marriage contract with the prince of Wuhou, and in the scene where she, a concubine who has always strictly followed etiquette and rules, is quite unheard, you can guess the attitude of outsiders towards her and Du Zhixuan!"

Aunt Hu was sad, and at the end of the day, she was pregnant for ten months and had a baby daughter who had worked hard to raise.

If she hadn't discovered that Du Ping was faintly in danger of being killed and used by the Qian family again, how could she use this incident to wake up Du Ping and let Du Ping truly recognize her identity? From now on, live in the back house in peace and stability, and when the age comes, even if she dies, she will go to Du Shilang and the old lady to seek a good fate for Du Ping, so as to get rid of such a terrible pet as Yongcheng Houfu!
