Chapter 19: White Plum and Lilac
"Mother, have you ever thought that last time, Fourteen Niang actually did it on purpose?" Gu Rui's face was nestled in Yao's arms, with a sweet look of enjoyment, but the words she said were not so beautiful.
Yao frowned, pondered for a while, and then said, "My mother also doubted it...... But last time, we kept it secret, and there was no way to reveal the news......"
"It's possible that she saw through it at the time and calculated it." Gu Rui also spoke. The more she thought about it after she went back, the more she felt that something was wrong, why was it so coincidental that Gu Ming threw away the note? I thought that I could rely on the presence of my second aunt to force my mother to think that she was the nobleman!
Fortunately, my mother still arranged for a backhand!
Seeing Yao's face sink, Gu Qian added: "Mother, in fact, now that I think about it, the eldest aunt and the second aunt were able to know the news at that time, and this matter was quite evil. Obviously, we instructed our subordinates not to spread the ......"
"This mother has checked it, but a few mothers-in-law in the house rely on their qualifications to be old, and they didn't take their mother's words to heart." Yao said with a gloomy face.
Gu Qiao remembered that the day before yesterday, her mother sent a few mothers-in-law to Zhuangzi, and then she suddenly realized that this was the case.
"But even if it's none of her business, she can't be let go." Yao added another sentence. Gu Ming was semi-forced to ask her to pick up the cloves, and it still makes her very uncomfortable.
As he spoke, Yao read the 'novel' with pity, and said to his youngest daughter: "Sixteen Niang, my mother gave your blessing to Shi Niang, are you angry with your mother?" ”
Gu Qiao shook his head and said, "Mother, sixteen is still young, this thing, sixteen is not as useful as the tenth sister." It's good for the tenth sister. ”
When Yao heard this, he was so moved that he hugged Gu Qiao into his arms, and said in a loud voice: "Mother's good heart!" ”
He turned his head to Gu Rui, who was leaning on the other side of her, and said: "Shi Niang, look, my sister is all for you, you will marry a good family in the future, you must remember to help your sister and pull your two brothers!" ”
"Mother, don't worry. But I only help Sixteen, the fourth brother and the sixth brother. Gu Rui said in a coquettish voice.
Shilang Gu Shan and Liulang Gu Fang are all from the Yao family, that is, Gu Rui's own brothers. And those brothers, brothers, sisters and sisters, obviously she didn't really think of them as her brothers and sisters.
"My goodness! How many people can you take care of! Being able to help your three siblings with the same mother and mother is considered to be your ability! Yao sighed.
It's just that when she thinks of her daughter's age and the marriage she is carrying, her eyes are a little heavy.
Lynn's, Lynn's! When will you arrive! In the young lady's courtyard, Gu Ming sat motionless on the swing, thinking about things. After all, it is very close to the time of Lynn's arrival, and many of her followers will not be able to use it until he arrives.
Now, she had to wait.
"Fourteen Niang, the impatiens in the house are blooming well, the slave maid will help you dye your nails, right?" Bai Mei stepped forward with a flattering smile and said. During this time, I don't know if it's her delusion, she always feels that Fourteen Niang is becoming more and more polite to her, and she is becoming more and more distant. It made her worry and scared.
She is the son of a family, if she does not serve the fourteenth mother well and lets her wife pick a wrong place and sell it, then she may stay away from her parents and brothers at home. Maybe I won't see each other in my life. Madame is very harsh on several girls in the house, especially now that Fourteen Niang has two big girl rings, then it is likely that one of them will be disposed of in a wrong place.
If you don't have the protection of Fourteen Niang...... Bai Mei was so frightened that she shuddered, so she had to cheer up and want to show her skills in front of Fourteen Niang.
Gu Ming listened to Bai Mei's words, and it didn't mean anything at all. She's not a real little girl, where do she like to dye her nails? Moreover, nails dyed with impatiens often stain their fingers, and the color is dull, which is actually not good-looking.
However, when it came to dyeing her nails, Gu Ming, who had nothing to do for a while, remembered one thing.
"Do you know how to draw?" Gu Ming asked Bai Meidao.
Bai Mei was stunned, not knowing why Fourteen Niang suddenly asked like this. She opened her mouth and stammered, "Fourteen mothers...... Slaves...... Slaves and maids can draw tricks......"
"Can you draw that very small flower?" Gu Ming opened his mouth and said. She suddenly thought just now that although it was natural for her to be wary of Bai Mei because of the things in her previous life, for Bai Mei now, she was quite innocent. After all, she hasn't done anything like that now.
She decided to give Bai Mei another chance, and if she couldn't grasp it again, she couldn't blame herself. It's just that no matter what, she didn't dare to keep Bai Mei by her side anymore and serve her closely.
"How small? The smallest flower that the slave maid ever painted was the pattern used on the sachet of the Dragon Boat Festival, with a total of nine jasmine flowers. Speaking of pride, Bai Mei was much more comfortable, spoke fluently, and said quite complacently.
The nine flowers on top of the sachet? Gu Ming squinted and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's smaller than that." You can figure it out for yourself, draw the smallest picture, and bring it to me when you're done. ”
Bai Mei left in a daze, not knowing what Fourteen Niang wanted to do with such a small trick. It's so small, it's too much to embroider.
Unlike Bai Mei, who tried her best to behave in front of Gu Ming, Lilac was relatively silent, under normal circumstances, Gu Ming didn't take the initiative to ask her what to do, she wouldn't take the initiative to do things. Bai Mei went back to the room, Gu Ming sat on the swing, and Lilac came back from outside, so she stood behind her silently, guarding her.
"Lilac, does it still hurt?" Without being wary, Fourteen Niang suddenly asked.
Lilac was stunned.
"Your hands are swollen, aren't they?" Gu Ming sighed, said, turned back, and looked at Lilac, "Mrs. Rong is quite ruthless, right?" ”
Lilac hurriedly said: "It's nothing, the slave doesn't hurt, it's just a little injury...... but she hid her hands behind her.
"Bring it to me and I'll take a look." Gu Ming sighed and said, "Don't let me urge it a third time." ”
Lilac had no choice but to hand her hands over. Gu Ming looked at Lilac's hand, and her face sank. That old thing of Rong Pozi actually hit so hard!
"Hurry back and rest!" Gu Ming ordered. She has been a housewife for more than ten years, although Lin Enzhi was very poor at the beginning, and even the two got married, and they had to live in the Gu family, but after they developed, they also managed a large family. How many times has she seen Mrs. Rong's method of beating people.
Like this, the skin is not broken, in fact, it is much more powerful than the skin that is opened. And the skin is not broken, and it is useless to rub the medicine, so you can only raise it slowly.
Rong Pozi dared to beat someone like this, naturally someone ordered her. And this person can only be Yao's or Gu Rui and Gu Qiao.
