Chapter 10: Poor
They are not afraid of being sold at all, because they can't be sold, and the deed of sale of the two of them is in the hands of the uncle, but not in the hands of the eldest lady and the old lady.
If so, I don't know where I'll be sold.
No, the warbler and the magpie stood in the courtyard and swore to the Buddha hall that if they took something they shouldn't have taken, sooner or later they would be retributed and cut off their hands and feet.
If someone slanders them plainly, the end will be rotten heart, sold to the house, and desolate in old age.
After saying a few words, Mrs. Wu's back was cold, and she couldn't say anything about slandering the maid for stealing her bracelet, but went back to the house and burned two pillars of incense.
Outside the courtyard, there are rings and bells, and the laughter of warblers coming out of the valley is heard.
The warbler glanced over and saw a girl stepping in.
She wore a lotus embroidered butterfly pattern brocade skirt, a pink corset, embroidered with rattan flowers, a jade pendant tied around her waist, and a tassel on it, swaying as she walked.
It was the fifth girl born by the eldest lady, Mu Qingrou.
Mu Qingrou's Qiongzi flower appearance is delicate and delicate, and it is glamorous, but the tips of the eyes are raised, with arrogance, giving people a feeling of emptiness.
She was followed by two girls.
One is wearing a cinnamon green chest-length brocade skirt embroidered with hibiscus on the skirt, which is lifelike.
She is beautiful, more beautiful than flowers, with light steps, combing a simple bun, and two delicate golden hairpins inlaid with beads and beads inserted into them, which are dazzling in the sun.
She is the second girl of Andingbo Mansion, Mu Qingzhi.
The biological mother is an aunt, and in addition to Mu Qingrou in the house, she is the most favored by the old lady.
The other girl is the fourth girl from the second aunt, Mu Qingxue.
She applied powder slightly, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, and her willow eyebrows were like smoke.
The dress is not as good as Mu Qingzhi, but her appearance is not inferior to her.
Seeing the three of them coming down the steps, the warbler and the magpie cried bitterly in their hearts, and they didn't know what kind of wind they had, so they blew the three of them together and hurried up to meet them.
These three people are not good at stubble, they have always taken pleasure in bullying the three girls, and if there is anything inconsiderate, they can't eat and walk around.
After the warbler and the magpie said goodbye, they stood aside and kept silent.
Mrs. Wu was busy with her courtesy, but she just patted the horse's hooves, Mu Qingrou didn't even look at her, and gently lifted her skirt into the house.
Inside the house, Qingyun had already heard the movement.
She was originally distracted, but she picked up a pen and copied Buddhist scriptures, as if she didn't know they were coming.
After Mu Qingrou entered the room, she walked directly towards the desk.
Qingyun left the table early, although she was a concubine, her sister-in-law gave her a gift, and she also wanted to return the half-courtesy.
She didn't want to be told that she didn't have any rules.
However, she stood in vain, how could Mu Qingrou greet her, walked directly to the table, took a Buddhist scripture, and flipped through it.
Qingyun didn't sit down, just looked at a few of them.
Mu Qingrou flipped it twice before she said with a smile, "Copying Buddhist scriptures is really self-cultivation, even if the old lady Jiang came to the door and said such a big thing as kissing for you, you didn't care about one or two." ”
As she spoke, Mu Qingzhi's mouth rose slightly.
Where is self-cultivation, it is simply a Buddhist hall that is remote and unincomprehensible.
Qingyun looked at them, her eyes were wide open, and she was a little itchy, could she not care about her life's events?
Liuying wanted to go out to inquire, but the maids in the house rarely talked to them at all, for fear that she would be bullied when she went out, so Qingyun endured it.
Because she knew that Qiu'er would inquire about it and tell Mrs. Wu that no matter whether the result was good or bad, she would be sarcastic.
At this time, Mu Qingrou and the others came, obviously because of this.
Looking at the smile on the corner of their mouths, Qingyun had a bad premonition in her heart.
Mu Qingrou knew that Qingyun wanted to know, but she just didn't say it, and instead talked about another thing, "We just went to Mu Shangshu's Mansion and saw Cousin Ran, who has such a long scar on her chin. ”
She gestured with her hand, about half the length of her little finger.
She smiled brightly, "She hates you for the itchy root of her teeth." ”
Qingyun also smiled, if her throat didn't hurt, she really wanted to ask: Are you sure she really hates me, not you?
Mu Qingrou even said two things, but she didn't see Qingyun react, it was like a fist hitting cotton, soft, especially Qingyun's eyes with a smile, which made her feel angry, did she hurt her throat or was she deaf? !
Mu Qingrou squinted her eyes and snorted softly from her nose, pretend to be calm with me, I want to see what I say next, can you still be calm!
She played with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and said, "Old lady Jiang really loves you, I can't bear to let you repeat the mistakes of your eldest sister, and I want to marry you, but it's a pity, the Jiang family is no longer what it used to be, and his old lady Jiang doesn't have such a high prestige in Kyoto, and no one wants to marry you after running around for two days, no, he wants to kiss Bofu, and ask your cousin Jiang Yuan to marry you." ”
Hearing this, Qingyun's eyes widened suddenly.
She wanted to speak, but before she could get the words out, she coughed first.
Liuying hurriedly brought her tea to drink.
Mu Qingzhi sighed lightly, her voice was full of regret, but her eyes were full of schadenfreude, "If the Jiang family hadn't declined, this family affair would be really enviable, but it's a pity." ”
It has been almost fifteen years since his wife died, and his father is still the same as ever to the Jiang family.
also for the sake of the Jiang family, the future was put on the way.
The old lady can't wait to break off the relationship with the Jiang family, how can she marry her granddaughter to the Jiang family?
The old lady blocked Mrs. Jiang with a word, "Uncle is dedicated to your own future for the sake of your own family, is it not close enough, do you still need to kiss and kiss?" Jiang Yuan's child, I have seen it, his talent and appearance are good, Qingyun's temperament is not suitable for him, he is reluctant to be together, and he will not be happy, Qingyun's family affairs, I know it in my heart, so I won't work for my father-in-law. ”
The old lady Jiang apologized for the uncle's mansion, and the old lady said, "The uncle's mansion is implicated, and the blame is only on the uncle's love and righteousness, in the final analysis, I can't complain about you, but Qingyun's family affairs, I have my own opinions." ”
Old lady Jiang is also very thin-skinned, the old lady has said so, what else can he do?
Therefore, Mu Qingrou and the others came, just telling her, "You and the eldest sister want the old lady Jiang to help you say goodbye, this wishful thinking is better to rest as soon as possible, the old lady will not agree." ”
As she spoke, she paused and said, "The old lady has already picked two families for you, if nothing else, one of them will be our future third brother-in-law." ”
Mu Qingxue opened a pair of glass eyes and asked, "Fifth sister, which two are they, why haven't we heard of them?" ”
Mu Qingrou smiled, "I also just heard what my mother said, the old lady was still a little hesitant, after all, neither of the two families is the best choice, no, as soon as the old lady Jiang intervened, the old lady was angry, and the plan was decided in these two days." ”
Mu Qingzhi looked at her and couldn't wait to ask, "Fifth sister, let's talk quickly, which two are they?" ”
Mu Qingrou smiled and said, "One is the Dingyuan General's Mansion, and the other is the Zheng Guogong Mansion." ”
As soon as Mu Qingrou finished speaking, Mu Qingzhi gasped.
No matter how stupid Qingyun is, she knows how bad this family affair is.
Although she inherited Mu Qingyun's memory, she really didn't have much impression of General Dingyuan's Mansion and Zheng Guogong's Mansion.
She glanced at the warbler and the magpie, and their faces were whiter than the paper on which she copied the Buddhist scriptures.
Liuying's eyes were red, "General Dingyuan is twenty-five this year, and he has already married two wives, both of whom were killed by him, and his wife gave birth to a daughter, and filled the house and gave birth to a son......." ”
Liuying choked up and couldn't speak, and the magpie continued, "The eldest young master of the Zheng Guo Mansion, who is a gentleman, was originally related to the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, but three months before the marriage, it was rumored that the eldest young master of the Zheng Guo Mansion ransomed the Qinglou Oiran, made an outer room, and became pregnant. ”
"The military department Shangshu Mansion retreated, the Duchess Zheng Guo fell ill in bed angrily, the eldest young master of the Zheng Guogong Mansion was forced to be helpless, and after the outer room gave birth to the child, he sold the outer room, but the dead nature did not change, or lingered in the Qinglou wine shop, after the military department Shangshu Mansion retreated, it would ......be difficult to say that it would be difficult to kiss again."
These are two relatives, they are basically two big fire pits, no matter which one of them, the three girls who can burn are shattered!
