Chapter 40: Suspicion and Heavy Responsibility
The eyes of the people around him were like thorns in their backs, and Mama Rong saw it, she was very unwilling for the second lady, and she was even more angry in her heart.
These people, how can these people look at Miss Er like this, how can they lay people know Miss Two's heart for their mother?
You know, the second lady has not liked the female red since she was a child, but Mrs. also deliberately indulged her, the girl's family has not learned the same skills, and has developed the arrogant temper of the young lady, and those ignorant people outside blindly praise Mrs. for her generosity and virtue.
Hmph, Mama Rong is very clear about Madame's vicious thoughts. Doesn't you just want to pamper the second lady, so that no one likes her temperament, and in the end, cause a big disaster?
In a woman's family, the most important thing is women's morality and women's appearance, but none of these ladies have taught the second lady. Is this kind of pampering real love?
Because of this, in fact, from childhood to adulthood, the second lady did not learn much needlework. Although it is simple to make a leg warmer, the pattern on it is designed by the second lady herself, and the completion of one stitch and one thread expresses her deep admiration for her mother.
This stitch and thread also contains her blood and tears, this gift was secretly sewn by the second lady for her aunt, the second aunt didn't know beforehand, and in the house, except for Mama Rong, there are no other close elders at dawn.
So these stitches were actually taught to Xiao Xiao by Mama Rong, and the two of them were secretly busy for several days before they embroidered a simple thing. For the first embroidery in his life, Dawn can be said to have suffered enough, and his fingers don't know how many times he has been pricked by a needle, and his flesh and blood are blurry, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Breaking dawn has always only kept these in my heart and has not let the second aunt know.
Although they are only the simplest stitches, where are those stitches that can be compared with the amazing embroidery, but the important thing is the second lady's mind.
This. That's the most important thing.
Everything that happened last night is still vivid, and Mama Rong is full of tears, and she wants to be excited when she thinks of the second lady. Having such a good daughter is really a blessing that the master cultivated in his previous life; It is also thanks to the golden branches and jade leaves that dawn was born in this life, but he can have such a good heart.
After arriving at Tingyuxuan, the second lady personally served the second aunt to lie on the couch, first roasted her hands with charcoal fire, and then rubbed the medicine oil on the second aunt's knees. A pair of hands kept moving like this, and the second lady who was concentrating was busy for almost half an hour, seeing that the skin that had been soaked by the medicinal oil became red and soft, and then she filled the charcoal ash of the fine silver frost carbon into the leg warmer.
You know, the effect of burning hot charcoal ash will be better, they all watched it, there were sparks on the charcoal ash, and it was smoking all the time, but the second lady just wrapped it in a cloth towel, and put those hot charcoal ashes into the leg warmer.
Mama Rong saw that the second lady's fingers were burned red, but she kept holding back and didn't say anything. I was worried that the master would not be able to stand it.
Who knows, after wrapping the leg warmer with a slender strap and tying it to the second aunt's knees, she just smiled, and the expression on her face was very useful.
You know, because she often kneels in front of the Buddha and prays, the ground is damp, and the second aunt's leg joints will be painful every time it rains.
Dawn makes this leg warmer, alternating hot and cold. It just dispelled the cool air in the second aunt's knees, making her feel comfortable in her muscles and bones.
Later, when Mama Rong was waiting for her master to rest, she secretly untied it and took a look. In the layer where the warm legs are close to the skin, the second lady embroidered an extra layer of heat-insulating bag, just enough to keep her from getting hot.
How many people can do this kind of carefulness? How can such a gift not be satisfied? Mama Rong was just about to open her mouth to defend the second young lady, but she saw her looking towards her and shook her head gently.
Knowing that the second lady didn't want to cause controversy, Mama Rong finally shut up. Let others misunderstand.
In fact, Dawn's idea is very simple, her gift to her second aunt is a daughter's filial piety to her mother, not for grandstanding or other purposes.
After seeing people's hearts for a long time, what good is it to compete with Dawn here for a long time, even if it is just to beg for a bargain? Let her laugh proudly for the time being, whoever can laugh last is the real winner.
Seeing that Dawn was just silent, the smile on Chenxi's face became more and more proud, hmph, she knew that although her mother also doted on this concubine on the surface, she only did it for outsiders to see.
The food and clothes for her are all of the highest quality, and the most critical things are not too much. And the second aunt is even more useless, she can't even protect herself, how can she help her daughter?
Therefore, Sikong Dawn is just looking at the scenery on the surface, and he can't get any money to buy a gift for his own mother. Dawn thought so self-righteously, and the smile on her face became more and more proud.
Seeing everything in his eyes, Xizhao snorted coldly, his own sister, he used to hide it, why didn't he do superficial work now, but he would show his disgust for Dawn in front of people?
It seems that after Zhang San's incident, it had a great impact on Chenxi, and it changed her a lot from the inside out.
"Eldest sister, you have given such a good gift for your aunt's birthday, next month is your mother's birthday, you are your mother's beloved daughter and the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, presumably, you will prepare a unique gift for your mother at that time, right?" Xizhao said seemingly casually, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head and went to drink tea, not caring at all what consequences his words would have caused to Sikong Chenxi.
Chenxi's face froze immediately, yes, she almost forgot that next month would be her biological mother's birthday, as the general's wife, her status is much higher than that of her aunt, and the gift that her daughter should give is bound to be much stronger.
When the time comes, what should she send?
Dawn finally decided not to continue to forbear, since Xizhao helped her start so well, although it was a villain's act, it was okay to do it occasionally.
Sending Chenxi's words back to her just now, Dawn also smiled and said, "Yes, eldest sister, you must show us what good things you have sent to your mother when the time comes." After all, I don't have the ability of your eldest sister, and even gave embroidery worth thousands of gold on my aunt's birthday, but I'm afraid that when it comes to my mother's birthday, the treasures you give her will definitely be in the sky and in the earth. ”
The smile on Chenxi's face froze, Dawn's riposte can be said to be very powerful, the words are easy to say, there is nothing in the sky and there is no earth, where did she find such a good thing?
However, of course, the eldest lady of the Sikong family could not show weakness like this, and there was still a perfect smile on her face, and Chenxi smiled at Sikong Liang on the main seat: "Yes, father, when it comes to Mother's birthday, don't forget to hold a grand banquet for her." ”
At least, her mother is a righteous general's wife, and she can announce the guests to the world on her birthday, and the second aunt is just a concubine, and the family hiding here secretly has a meal?
The smile on her face is beautiful, but also cruel, and in the end, it will be her and her mother who will triumph and gain a foothold in the General's Palace. Whoever else is just a cloud.
Dawn didn't argue with Chenxi anymore, facts speak louder than words, let her watch, look at this general's mansion, whose world is it!
Sikong Liang can't be a child forever, in the afternoon, he had something important to enter the palace to face the saint, dawn accompanied the second aunt back to Tingyuxuan, and Xizhao went to the master to take classes.
Now he is studying his homework in the morning and riding and archery in the afternoon, and he is working very hard. If you want others to respect you and value you, at least you have to work hard to become strong and have the capital to be respected, isn't it?
And the Jiang family has been staying in her Liufu Residence, Sikong Chenxi has not come out in her courtyard, and the General's Mansion, which was still very lively in the morning, has become very quiet all afternoon.
At dusk, the guards at the gate of the General's Mansion suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves like thunder at the gate of the mansion, and they opened their eyes wide and saw ten horses galloping over at a gallop, and they were all very surprised.
The riders on the horses are all brown coats, and the inside is a blue cotton suit, and each horse is vigorous and majestic, and the whole body is black, but the only bright color on the horse's body is the saddle, which is shining gold, and it turns out that the saddle shoes of each horse are actually made of gold.
Such a horse, ordinary people are lucky to see one. These dozen or so horses appeared in line together, such a pompous momentum, you can imagine what kind of noble family the owner should be.
The horse team has been galloping forward, the target is directly aimed at the General's Mansion, and the pedestrians on the street have turned their eyes sideways, daring to run like this on the street, they are not afraid of hurting people? But no one dared to come forward to speak, and they all tried to avoid it one by one, for fear of being trampled on by the horse's hooves.
The guards at the gate of the mansion all clenched the weapons in their hands, for fear that something bad would happen, as long as the other party made a move, they would immediately fight back, and swore to protect the safety of the general's mansion.
In the end, when the cavalry on the horse galloped to the gate of the general's mansion only three feet away, the horses stopped in unison, and ten horses stopped outside the general's mansion in a row, causing the pedestrians on the side of the road to constantly wonder: what happened?
You know, this kind of pomp and circumstance is no second in the world except for the royal people, Sikong Liang was suspicious of the emperor and ordered him to recuperate in the general's mansion recently, the whole Kyoto is afraid that the old and weak, women and children are all aware of it, seeing such a picture, everyone is speculating in their hearts, could it be, is it the emperor who gave the general some bad orders?
