Chapter 62: Two Bedrooms and Six Niangs (1)
Early in the morning of the second day, Mrs. Wang brought her daughter-in-law with a big belly to ask for treatment from Qi Niang, and also brought many valuable thank-you gifts, among which the old lady was given a set of gold and jade heads, counting earrings, a full eighteen pieces.
It was Changfang Chen who came out to greet the guests, she saw such a set of golden heads, her eyes were straight, and she was so happy that she immediately called her mother-in-law to send it to the old lady, but after sending it to Changfeng Hall, she was returned as it was.
"The old lady said, the seventh lady is accumulating good deeds, and she can't receive such a valuable gift, and she asks the lady of the Wang family to take it back." Mrs. Wang smiled and withdrew after passing the word.
Chen's face was embarrassed, but she didn't postpone it at all, so she took these gifts privately, and now the old lady refused and slapped her in the face directly.
She smiled embarrassedly, "Mother is right, and I also ask Sister Wang not to embarrass me as a daughter-in-law." ”
Mrs. Wang was very surprised, she had heard that the old lady of the General's Mansion had always ignored these idle things in recent years, but she couldn't think of the contacts in the mansion, and her old man was still in charge of them one by one, and what surprised her even more was that the daughter-in-law of the long house was so unimportant in front of her old man, and in front of an outsider like her, she actually said so much.
She looked at Chen's eyes a little more casually, "It's still my sister who didn't think about it, and she only knew how to send some gold and jade vulgar things, which made the Duchess laugh at her." ”
The smile on Chen's lips became more and more far-fetched, and it turned out that these mundane things only caught her eyes.
Chen's face became more and more uncomfortable, but there was no way, she could only honestly accompany Mrs. Wang to drink tea in the hall, and Qi Niang was in the inner room for treatment.
In recent days, she has been taking care of the people outside, and You Shi in the second room has been busy.
Within ten days, it was Siniang's gift, and the old lady handed over the second room to take care of the arrangement, and specially emphasized that Qi Niang only returned home, and this banquet must be grand and lively.
Chen's heart was sour, and he was even more angry when he thought of You's triumphant smile at that time.
Last year, they were the third mother's and the ceremony, because considering the expenses in the house, the eldest lord repeatedly emphasized frugality, but now it is the turn of the second room, and he has not started to prepare, but the silver has been allocated thousands of dollars, how can you tell her not to be angry!
After chatting with the guests until three o'clock, the Chen family finally sent this Wang family lady away, and just wanted to go back to Xuanyu Hall to lie down for a while, not wanting to be called to Changfeng Hall again.
Qi Niang also felt a little tired, she couldn't have a good rest last night, and she got up early today, and just after drinking a bowl of porridge for breakfast, she was told that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family came to seek treatment, and she had to rush over.
After all, it is not good to make patients wait for a long time, let alone for pregnant women who are more than eight months pregnant.
After the diagnosis and treatment, she just returned to Linyu Pavilion to change her skirt, and was invited to Changfeng Hall by Granny Wang.
As soon as he walked to the door of the hall, there was a laugh of "hee-hee-ha" inside, Qi Niang was stunned, grandmother has always liked people with decent manners, which room and which courtyard is this, so I don't know the etiquette.
She couldn't help but quicken her pace.
"Come and meet, this is your sixth sister."
In the lower left hand is sitting a lady who is born in the same place, wearing a pink embroidered peach blossom tuck pleated Luo skirt, a plain silver flower hairpin in her hair, and there is no jewelry left.
But the woman was smiling brightly, and the corners of her grinning mouth still hung with traces of tea that had not yet been wiped off, and although she was sitting in a mahogany carved chair, she was writhing vigorously, and her little feet in light pink embroidered shoes kept kicking the floor tiles.
Qi Niang was stunned in her eyes, with a smile on her face, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she still saluted as usual and called, "Sixth sister is fine." ”
"Okay, okay, okay!" Liuniang was even more happy when she heard this, clapping her hands vigorously and laughing and standing up.
Qi Niang's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, she subconsciously took two steps back, but she didn't want the sixth sister to step forward and hug her, and she still said vigorously, "Okay, okay!" The saliva from the corners of her mouth kept rubbing her body.
Qi Niang's hands and feet were numb, and she resisted the urge to scream.
At this moment, everyone in the house couldn't help but let out an "oops".
The first to react was the woman who had been standing beside Liuniang, she immediately pulled the crazy Liuniang, her face was embarrassed, she was half coaxing and half persuading her to sit back, and kept compensating the old lady and Qi Niang.
The old lady's face was gloomy, and she looked at Qi Niang carefully worriedly, "You go and change your clothes first." ”
Qi Niang immediately bowed and withdrew.
When she changed into a light blue brocade embroidered dress and returned to the main hall, the playful Liu Niang was no longer there, and only the woman with the face was still talking.
She sat down next to Siniang, and Siniang gave a comforting smile back.
"Everything is fine in the water nunnery, and the sixth lady still lives in an independent courtyard behind the nunnery, thank you for the old lady's concern." The woman replied respectfully, her words of gratitude hard to hide.
"That's good, it's bitter Aunt Wen." The old lady nodded reassuringly.
Aunt Wen?
Qi Niang's doubts deepened, she thought that she was just a nurse who took care of her all the year round, how could she be an aunt? Could it be the sixth sister's real mother?
"I don't dare to be a concubine, this is what I should do." The woman who was called Aunt Wen lowered her head and couldn't see any expression.
The old man carefully asked Liu Niang about her daily diet and daily life, and then asked her to step down.
Aunt Wen saluted respectfully, humbly lowered her head and stepped back, but when she passed in front of Qi Niang, her eyes kept staring at her, and she didn't retract her gaze until she was about to retreat to the door.
Qi Niang's heart was numb for a while, and when she saluted Liu Niang, the aunt behind her also stared at her without blinking, but at that time, her mind was on the crazy and stupid Liu Niang, and she didn't pay attention to it, and now she feels more and more uneasy when she thinks about it.
Lunch was used in each room and courtyard, and the old lady was not in good spirits, so she went back to the house to rest when she was so troubled by Liuniang.
Siniang waited for her grandmother to rest, and then took Qiniang to her Luanyu Pavilion.
The daily lunch in the house is six dishes and one soup, three meat and three vegetarian dishes, but before the two sisters have started to eat, Mrs. Wang sent two cups of Yuzhu duck soup.
"The small fire has been boiling slowly all morning, and it has been warm before, and the old lady specially explained that she must send it to the lady while it is hot."
Before leaving, Granny Wang did not forget to repeat it.
Qi Niang's heart warmed, but her grandmother was thinking about her all the time.
"Seventh sister, look at how good your grandmother is to you, you were abducted by me, and your grandmother asked Granny Wang to bring soup over." Although Siniang said this, her face was happy.
"Why do you have delicious Yuzhu duck soup, and you can't stop your clever mouth, fourth sister?" Qi Niang followed and teased.
These days of getting along with Siniang day and night, she likes her sister more and more.
The smile on Siniang's face was even brighter, "Tsk, look, everyone in the house says that I Su Siniang is sharp-toothed, but it turns out that I can talk more about it!" ”
Qi Niang smiled silently, and felt a lot more comfortable.
Just after the sixth lady made such a fuss, she has been uncomfortable in her heart, and there is the strange Aunt Wen.
