Chapter 17: The Aftermath
Lianyu looked at the warm pavilion, and simply pulled Lian Rong into the cubicle next to her, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "What the hell can it be?" It's just to advance the day, didn't Young Master Jing also move to the outer courtyard at the age of six? ”
Lian Rong took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Lian Yu's green face, her eyes were dark, and she felt more and more that something was wrong, but the girl would rather tell Lianyu than show her a voice, and she was not angry: "Hmph, you just hide it from me." Young Master Jing is Xiao Langjun, so he should be early. The girl is Mrs. Tai's treasure, where can she put it! Even Mother Wang feels that something is wrong, don't think that you are loyal alone in this huge east wing! ”
Lianyu also poured herself a cup of tea, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, she was not good at words, and this matter was too big to be true, and even the eldest lady hid it. Lianrong has a strong temperament, and has served the girl since she was a child, and she was given by Mrs. Tai, but she was sent by the eldest lady later
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lian Rong became more and more angry, and decided that Lianyu was doing Zhang Zuoqiao, slammed the tea cup on the table, got up quickly, turned around and left.
Lianyu hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbed Lian Rong, and said straight in her mouth: "I didn't want to hide it from you!" It's really fine, the big deal is that the eldest lady misses the girl, and the girl moved to the main courtyard. ”
Where is Lian Rong willing to believe, she shook her hand and shook Lianyu away, Lianyu's hand slammed on the corner of the square table with a "bang", Lian Rong was startled, but she still held on: "Don't perfunctory me." went to listen to the church meeting in Badeng Lane, and the girl chose you to accompany her. I went to the main hall to greet you and show my face today, and I also asked you to accompany you. Now I still tell you something, and let you hide it from the people in this room" was sad while talking, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, wiped his face and turned around to sit on the stool, turned his back on Lianyu, and sobbed and said, "Why are you." Obviously, I have been with the girl for a longer time, obviously you have even killed your own mother, I am the one who grew up in the house and is well-informed, the girl used to like to listen to me, but now the girl likes you more and more"
Lianyu was smashed, and hurriedly withdrew her hand, her ten fingers connected her heart, and the tiger's mouth was already bruised. She didn't care so much, so she heard that Lianrong was competing for favor.
Lianrong's Lao Tzu is the procurement manager of the outer courtyard, and his mother works as an errand in the courtyard of Mrs. Tai, but he is an orphan in the village, and he was brought into the house by the eldest lady.
However, Lian Rong's words were too hurtful, Lian Yu was a little angry, but she suppressed her anger, and walked out, not wanting to pull it anymore, and said as she walked: "You and I have been in the same house for four or five years, except for Mother Wang, you have always been the first person in the East Wing." The girl has always treated everyone equally, and she can't say who she prefers. Take a step back and say that even if the girl has a preference, is it possible that the other one will be resentful, and she doesn't have to do a good job? ”
Lian Rong sat with her back to her, biting her lip, and when she heard the first person in the east wing, her anger was half gone, but she was half aroused by the words behind her, and she lifted her skirt and chased it out.
Chasing to the main room, seeing that Lianyu had already picked up the booklet and was on the right thing, she rushed up and grabbed it, raised her eyebrows and said: "This kind of heavy errand was ordered to us by the girl, so naturally we have to do a good job." Sister Lianyu is a fine person, go and rest! ”
Mother Wang knew that the two had a problem with each other when she heard it, although she didn't know what was going on, but she was unconditionally biased towards seeing the big lotus seed since she was a child, so she said: "The girl told you to rest, what are you still doing here." In a while, the girl will have lunch, and she can't leave you. ”
Lianyu bit her lip, glanced at Wang's mother and didn't speak, and watched Wang's mother and Lianrong instructing the little maids to work hard, with grievances and sadness in their hearts, and after standing for a while, they held their hands and went to the side room.
When she woke up and rang the bell to call someone, she saw that Lian Rong was beside her and lit incense, slightly stunned, and asked, "Lianyu hasn't gotten up yet?" ”
Lian Rong pursed her lips, her eyes were a little evasive, but she said, "Well, I guess I'm really tired to touch it." I've already asked Hexin to carry the food to the side. ”
The girl in the Xingzhao house, the first-class girl is the lotus character generation, and the second-class is the lotus character head.
Xing Zhaozheng was dazed, nodded, and after freshening up, he had lunch on the kang.
At the beginning of the afternoon, the snow always stops at noon, replaced by a warm yellow sun.
Xingzhao leaned on the kang and held a copy of "Mencius" to pass the time, and in the peaceful time, his heart was like drinking ice water on dog days.
When dinner was approaching, Zhang's mother came over.
After greeting and retreating as usual, Zhang's mother went straight to the topic: "Mrs. Tai thought about it, moving like this for no reason, I'm afraid that everyone will have all kinds of suspicions in their hearts, and now it's not good to cause trouble again." At noon, Mrs. Tai specially invited Shuntian Zhenren to ask a hexagram, saying that the next year is the year of Gengzi, and the four girls had better stay in the Kun position, so as to avoid evil spirits. ”
Shuntian Zhenren is a monk who is diligent in walking in a large family in Dingjing City, and if something happens to any family, it turns out that Shuntian Zhenren will come to ask.
Xingzhao understood as soon as he heard it, and said with some disgust: "That's why I'm going to move to the main courtyard in Kun before the turn of the year." In the end, it was the grandmother who was thoughtful, so that the words in the house were unified. ”
Mother Zhang smiled and said, "When the eldest lady comes to say goodnight later, she will talk about this seriously." Mrs. Tai asked me to ask the fourth girl, whether to go to the main hall or not to go later? If you don't go, it's good to pack up the cage in the house, after all, the time is not relaxed. ”
Xingzhao nodded, and after listening to Zhang's mother's words, she only said the benefits of not going, so she naturally understood that Mrs. Tai didn't want her to go, so she followed her and said, "Then I won't go and say goodnight." Who is waiting in my grandmother's room tonight? ”
"It's rue." The deeper Zhang's mother laughed, she felt that these four girls were seven or eight years old, but they were sophisticated and calm, and they didn't say anything about anyone in the morning, but they made the consequences clear and sad, so that Mrs. Tai was bent on planning for her, and then added: "Mrs. Tai has always been unrestrained to girls, and it is okay to let Lianyu go to Rue Xiang to talk and embroider at night." ”
After saying that, he got up, and when he had finished speaking, he retired.
Xingzhao saw that Zhang's mother understood what he meant, and called Lianrong to send Zhang's mother out.
The sky was getting late, and the servants in the main hall put down the lanterns hanging high by pulling the threads, lit the lamp oil, and rose again.
After dinner, a group of people entered the main hall in a majestic manner. After nearly an hour, he left the main hall again.
Listening to Lian Rong whispering in her ear, the eldest lady is gone. Xingzhao raised his head and instructed her softly: "Let Lianyu go to Rue Xiang and ask what grandmother said to her mother." ”
An imperceptible jerkiness flashed in Lianrong's eyes, nodded, and turned to walk out.
After three moments, Lianyu held a tray in one hand, which contained two plates of snacks, opened the curtain with one hand and came in, put the tray on the small case by the window lattice, and explained to Xingzhao: "Mrs. Tai first told the eldest lady to remember to let the flower room come and plant peonies next to Xiaoyuan, and the eldest lady looked very happy. Mrs. Tai then instructed the eldest lady to take care of the life of the marquis."
Speaking of the back, Lianyu had some doubts, but still said truthfully: "Mrs. Tai also said that today's Shuntian Zhenren finally brought the calculated hexagram, you moved to the main courtyard early this time to avoid trouble, and asked the eldest lady to restrain Aunt Wan and the other concubines of the Hou Ye, don't let them not startle you with long eyes."
Sure enough, these words are not good for Mrs. Tai to explain to the eldest lady in front of her. Mrs. Tai's implication is that your daughters have moved in with you, and motherhood is stronger, but don't be forced to cry and come to Rongshoutang by Wan's like before.
Xingzhao nodded while listening, even if it was justified, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Lianyu's right hand, frowned, and asked her, "What's wrong?" ”
Lianyu hurriedly hid her hand in her sleeve, shook her head, and only said: "Jiangcai has a nightmare, and with a wave of his hand, he hit the box at the head of the bed, and it is not in the way." ”
Xingzhao heard this, then looked up at her, the little lady did not look like she was in bad spirits, but now there is a group of black green, these few days, so that this calm and introverted girl is exhausted, can't help but feel a little distressed, said: "Go get a box of soothing incense and light it, light it to sleep better, wait for the 25th we will go to Dingguo Temple, and then go to ask for Fu to come to the town, it will be fine." ”
Lianyu nodded, but secretly glanced at Lian Rong's expression suddenly became extremely bad, and couldn't help but sigh, thinking that she had to find an opportunity to talk to the girl.
The next day, Mrs. He set up four second-class maids, and while cleaning up Xiaoyuan, she finished cleaning up the east wing.
The eldest lady ran up and down with a smile on her face for several days, and even the fence in the small garden was made of rattan wood or green bamboo, and she had to come to Rongshoutang to discuss with Xingzhao.
The people in several places, after a few days of hard work, were tightly twisted into one heart, and they finally picked it up.
