When she came back from Dingguo Temple, the second lady said that her heart palpitations and brain pain were painful, and after the imperial doctor came to see her, she prescribed a medicine that nourishes qi and replenishes deficiency, nourishes the spleen and stomach. Xingming stayed by the bedside for several days to serve the sick, and occasionally came to Huaishanyuan, so he secretly complained to Xingzhao: "Where is my mother sick, I obviously feel that my face can't get by, and I'm afraid that Mrs. Tai will come." ”

Xingzhao was doing needlework while covering his mouth and laughing. Since the matter of the Huang family was over, Xingming was relieved. Mrs. Tai sent her to copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times, in order to calm her mind, and she also received the punishment happily: "Copying the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times in exchange for slapping the hateful Huang Sanniang twice, it is not a loss!" When Mrs. Tai found out, she laughed angrily, and asked her to copy it a hundred more times, afraid that she would be able to copy the New Year.

The New Year is getting closer, and the decoration in the Lin'an Hou Mansion has begun early, and the windows of each wing room are pasted with all kinds of window flowers, and the red lanterns are hung high, and even the servants who are walking in a hurry in the verandah have changed into silk clothes that are either happy or happy, or a hundred sons and blessings.

The eldest lady was very busy, and the Zhuangzi and the He family from all over the country sent New Year's gifts one after another, and those that could be shared were distributed to each house and household, and the valuable ones that could not be divided were returned to the public treasury of the Hou Mansion. Xingzhao was sitting in front of the Nanmu desk, holding a purple pen, and remembered while listening to what the eldest lady said: "Zhuangzi in Hebei sent ten baskets of kidney beans, five big bags of Zhuozhou corn, and a one-zhang high Shouxing Gong Jizhou jade carving. I look at kidney beans in one room and one basket, two baskets in Rongshoutang, and half a basket in the Li family's letter. Zhuozhou's rice, Mrs. Tai has always liked to eat, Rongshoutang three bags, our big room and two rooms one bag. ”

Xingzhao wrote them down one by one, and suddenly his heart moved, and said, "Don't you need to prepare a New Year's gift for the queen?" ”

The eldest lady smiled and didn't speak, but Mother Huang, who led the little maid to cut the window flowers on the kang, laughed: "The New Year's gift sent to the palace must be decided by the Hou Ye." If the lady wants to give the queen a gift, she will prepare it in private, and wait for the one to be seen in the first month. Don't put these homely things on the table. ”

Xingzhao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then what gift is my mother going to give my aunt?" ”

The title changed from the queen mother to the aunt, the eldest lady did not have the sound and elegance of the lady, while flipping through the booklet to the object, while not caring and said: "I prepared a pair of pearl rice grains and white jade Ruyi, that is a good idea, the queen mother has always liked rice pearls." ”

Xingzhao knew that the pair of Ruyi was presented to He Yan by the Admiral of Wuzhou, and the handle was strung with hundreds of rice pearls of the same size, and then embedded with Gobi white jade, the workmanship was very fine, and he could take it. But what is the relationship between the eldest lady and Queen Fang, they are sisters-in-law. Xingzhao has been the princess of Jin for ten years, Queen Chen of the Longhua Dynasty doesn't care about things, it is Concubine Min Xian who is in charge, she has always been good friends with Concubine Min Xian, and when giving New Year's gifts, she often sends them all the time on weekdays, such as mink wool and a delicate hand stove embedded with glazed agate, these homely things can show intimacy.

"Mother, do you want to add a Han brick inkstone engraved by Gu Wanzhi? When Grandma moved, how many good things did my grandmother reward. My aunt has always liked calligraphy and painting, and she can use it from time to time on weekdays. Ruyi was there, and it didn't move. Xingzhao put down his pen, winked at the eldest lady, and said seriously.

The eldest lady laughed, put down the booklet, and hugged her little daughter with one hand, looking very happy: "Okay, okay, just say that it was given by Grandma, and it is Grandma's heart." ”

Huang's mother is the eldest lady's companion, and she followed the eldest lady to marry from the northwest to Dingjing, and she is like Zhang's mother's role in Rongshoutang in the main courtyard. She took the copper scissors three times and cut out a step by step, and while sticking it to the wall with paste, she sang: "Hou Ye is smooth and smooth, Jing Dalangjun has passed the next year's exam, the girl is sensible and steady, and our family is getting better and better!" ”

Rongshoutang has always been as peaceful as a Buddhist temple, but the main hall is often warmly spoken. Probably really like the owner.

It was bustling inside, and someone came in with a curtain, and his voice was clear and clean: "So happy, what are you talking about?" ”

The eldest lady's expression was stunned, and the little maids who were talking and laughing on the kang were also silent, Xingzhao hurriedly got up and saluted solemnly: "Auntie greets my father." ”

The person who came was He Yan, who had changed into brown clothes, and his hair was only tied up with a wooden hairpin, his movements were calm, and he helped Xingzhao up with a smile, and then leaned over to look at the booklet that Xingzhao had just written, and said with a smile: "Don't practice Yan Zhenqing, rewrite Liu Gongquan?" ”

As soon as Xingzhao looked up, he could see that He Yan's face was fair-skinned and extremely well maintained, and he couldn't see any fat and wrinkles, which was roughly in line with the sanctimonious appearance that the ancients said.

"It's still Yan Zhenqing who practiced. Yan Zhenqing's words pay attention to the general temperature, and every stroke must be rich. Ah Wei is small, and when she writes Liu everyone's words in the booklet, she can write faster and easier. Xingzhao replied with a smile. She didn't show up when she was sitting in the house, and she didn't come back until early in the morning of the next day, and she never believed that He Yan had gone to the banquet where she was waiting for the letter. Just because she can't ask the truth doesn't mean that her grandmother can't ask it, just wait.

He Yan nodded, took out a nine-trick exquisite wearing ring from his arms, and gave it to Xingzhao: "It also makes sense." Take it and play with it. I'll talk to your mother. ”

Xingzhao raised his hand to take it, and his fingertips touched the jade, and it was cool. Her heart was the same as that jade, and she fell into the ice cellar. He Yan was not a person who was willing to gossip with the Fang family, and even after the birth of his sister-in-law, he only ordered a meal in the main courtyard every month, and mostly spent the night at the Wan family and the Liu family.

It's almost the end of the day, and what should come will always come. Xingzhao felt for no reason that this matter should not be pierced by He Yan, according to the nature of this kind of person, he often pushes evil deeds and bad things on others, and he will never come forward, and in the end, he is still like the white lotus, out of the mud and not stained, and even in the eyes of outsiders, he is still a victim.

So what exactly is it about?

Xingzhao glanced at the eldest lady, and saw that she was stunned, happy and ashamed on her face, and couldn't help but understand a little why her mother chose that path in her previous life. When a woman still has expectations of a man, she will find reasons for any unreasonable behavior and demands of the man. And when the facts and truth are clearly in front of them, fragile women have the courage to die and the courage to believe.

Xingzhao pinched the ring in his hand, and saw that Huang's mother was smiling and leading the little maids out of the main hall, and she stopped talking a few times, wiped her feet on the ground a few times, and then clubbed them in place again.

He Yan looked at it and smiled, the eldest lady was a little embarrassed, stepped forward and walked out with Xingzhao in her arms, coaxing in her mouth: "Auntie." Haven't you been thinking about it for days? ”

Xingzhao wanted to cry without tears, and he wanted to laugh in his heart, his brother was almost at the age of becoming his own son, and his mother was still so childish and simple. But he had no choice but to nod and leave the main hall.

Walking through the verandah, I was restless, thinking about how to get my mother's words for a while, and thinking about when to ask my grandmother the truth, and still thinking about He Xingxiao's unusual illness for a few days, so I didn't pay attention to the person on the other side.

"I haven't seen the fourth girl for a few days, the fourth girl is good." A soft and light voice sounded.

As soon as Xingzhao looked up, it was Na Wan, wearing a magenta peony pattern gown, combing a fallen horse bun, a pair of red phoenix eyes hooked very charmingly, his mouth was small, and the color was cherry red, standing in front of him with a smile, and he was not carrying He Xingxiao behind him. Xingzhao smiled and bowed his head: "Aunt Wan." Auntie is naturally good. Sister Xiao has been sick for more than ten days, and she has not recovered. ”

Aunt Wan's face did not change for half a minute, and she still smiled glutinously: "It's really annoying that the fourth girl is worried about it." Sister Xiao was lying on the bed today, still asking why she didn't see the fourth sister come to see her. ”

Xingzhao raised his head, impatient to pull with this Wan clan, and simply blocked it all: "Aunt is Sister Xiao's biological mother, Sister Xiao is still lying in bed now, Aunt Xiao doesn't take care of Seventh Sister herself, what are you doing in the main hall?" Say hello to your mother? It's not time yet. ”
