Chapter 13: Family Affairs (Part II)

The morning bell is dew, and the autumn is full of spring swallows, and they are idle at any time.

Early in the morning, the sky was just dawning, and the servants and maids in the Lin'an Waiting Mansion were already busy with their work.

Xingzhao tossed and turned all night, and he would fall asleep near the fourth watch, and then he woke up again, and he had something in his heart, where could he sleep soundly.

With a slight sniff, the incense of agarwood mixed with pine needles was already burning in the east wing, and the lotus jade was called.

After a while of washing and grooming, I used a small bowl of red date barley porridge, ate two fish rolls, and went to the main hall from the east wing. Mrs. Tai has just gotten up and had breakfast, and she is dressing up at this time. ”

Xingzhao smiled at her, unusually speechless, as soon as the curtain was lifted, he saw that Mrs. Tai was sitting in front of Song An's bronze glasses grate her hair, and when she saw Xingzhao coming, she beckoned to her with a smile: "Have you drunk the honey pear juice?" If you don't rest well in winter, you have a cough again, and when spring comes, choke carefully. ”

Xingzhao responded with a loud voice, "Drink it, drink it, a whole cup", got up and took the rhinoceros horn grate in Ruxiang's hand, and helped Mrs. Tai comb her hair without a match, and waited for Mrs. Tai to retreat from everyone, so that she could talk carefully.

Seeing her granddaughter's absent-minded look, Mrs. Tai understood in her heart, but she tilted her head and squinted, and said with a match in her mouth: "You say, is it better for me to wear a crimson gown or an indigo blue cotton hangzhou silk jacket today?" ”

Zhang's mother didn't know who Mrs. Tai was talking to, and she looked at Xingzhao to see what she didn't mean, so she had to answer with a smile: "It's good to wear crimson, you are dressed luxuriously." ”

Mrs. Tai didn't answer, still with her eyes closed.

"Wear a crimson gown, wear an autumn apricot-colored skirt underneath, and then put on the veil I gave you, this is called perfect." Xingzhao can be regarded as understanding Mrs. Tai's meaning, this is grinding her temperament - no matter how big the matter is in her heart, she has to be calm on her face, and she should echo it between her words, and she can't show her timidity.

Listening to her granddaughter's voice, Mrs. Tai sat up with a smile: "Today, I will dress like the fourth girl said, comb my short bun, and wear the little emerald step that the queen mother rewarded." Ah, you go and drink the sheep **, I asked the people below to beat the foam clean, and there is no smell. ”

Seeing the situation, Zhang's mother hurriedly took out the gown and skirt from the cage, waited for Mrs. Tai to change them, and took a poppy from the pear wood box and shook it out.

Xingzhao returned the grate to Ruxiang, sat on the small pestle, held the goat's milk and drank it in small sips, and saw Ruxiang filling out a short bun with two or three quick hands and feet, and praised in his mouth: "Grandmother is really good at training people, and all of them are good." ”

Mrs. Tai looked at the bronze glasses in her eyes, shook her steps with her hand, and said jokingly: "It's good to have a top in your room, and Lianyu is the most loyal." ”

Xingzhao's face turned red, knowing that Mrs. Tai was making fun of Lianyu's hard mouth last night. Seeing Lianyu standing beside her, she didn't kneel or stand for a while, and was about to take the words back, when she heard the curtain opener say, the second lady and the third girl are coming.

A gust of wind, before the sound of the voice of the first, "I just came from the East Cross Courtyard, and I saw that the spring flowers planted in the flower room are budding, Amitabha, this midwinter is about to end." The second lady and Xingming tightly covered the stove and entered the inner hall with snow and cold wind.

Mrs. Tai smiled and rewarded the seat, and asked people to bring two bowls of sheep **: "You and Xingming also drink bowls, the days of spring and winter communication are the most frozen." ”

The second lady thanked her happily and took it, took a sip, put the bowl on a few tables, looked back, and greeted with a smile: "Sister-in-law is late today, my mother has to punish her to make you a pair of shoes and socks." ”

"She woke up from alcohol and her brain hurt, so I asked her to come to say hello this morning, make up for her sleep, and bring the children to say hello in the evening." Mrs. Tai got down from the dressing table, held Zhang's mother's hand, sat on the Eight Immortals stool at the top of the main hall, and said lightly.

The second lady looked relieved, and smiled: "In Dingjing City, who doesn't know that the lady in the Lin'an Hou Mansion loves her daughter-in-law, and marrying in it is like falling into a nest of blessings." ”

Xingzhao was listening, and also felt that Mrs. Tai was shrewd and gentle, kind, and virtuous, and did not need her daughter-in-law to set rules, even to invite An to come over after breakfast in each room, in Mrs. Tai's words, there are hundreds of servants and girls up and down in the house, and they don't let the servants serve, so what is the reason for letting their daughter-in-law serve.

The women in the hairpin's family, who have not been daughters-in-law for many years, have become mothers-in-law, and after being rectified by their mother-in-law, they tortured their daughter-in-law more and more ruthlessly, set rules, and snatched children to raise. There are ruthless ones, even the daughter-in-law who is pregnant has to stand beside her mother-in-law and serve her mother-in-law with vegetables and water. In her previous life, Zhou Pingning was a concubine of the Pingyang Palace, and she relied on her own skills to set up another mansion, and when others talked about her, they did not envy her for being the princess's wife, but envy her for not having a serious mother-in-law above her.

Xingzhao bowed and stood beside her, and suddenly found that she now remembered that Zhou Pingning was able to be calm, and when she looked up, she saw Xingming grinning at her, Xingzhao was stunned for a moment, and then pursed his lips and smiled.

"This girl can't be idle for half a moment, mother, simply send these two girls to the warm pavilion to embroider, let's talk well." The second lady leaned out and inquired.

Mrs. Tai glanced at Xingzhao, then at Xingming, and knew that the second lady had something to say, so she instructed Su Qing: "Prepare candied fruit for the girls, cook two bowls of almond cheese tea, and bring them in." ”

Xingzhao and Xingming bent their knees and pulled their skirts, and hid in the inner room.

sat down on the kang, and before he took the embroidered bandage, Xingming couldn't hold it back, his face was cyan, and he pushed the embroidery cage away, looking frowning and pouting.

Xingzhao looked funny, pulled the embroidery cage closer, chose a pair of water and Tianbi's silver silk thread, and hung his head to embroider with peony lace, while asking, "Third sister, what's wrong?" Who is eating? ”

Xingming pursed his lips, and leaned in in a low voice and said, "That Huang family-" The words reached his throat, and he couldn't go on, how could a little lady who had not been out of the cabinet be embarrassed to say that someone she didn't like came to propose marriage.

Xingzhao instantly remembered an incident in his previous life, when Mrs. He took her family to Dingguo Temple to add sesame oil, she happened to meet the Huang family, which is not strange, the strange thing is that the Huang family also took their little Langjun to go together, which has the meaning of looking at each other, but Xingming is not married to the Huang family in the end, but a husband with no permanent property

Xingzhao also stopped the needlework, rested the bandage on his hand, looked at Xingming, and was a little sullen: "What's wrong with the Huang family?" Could it be that Huang Sanniang is still reluctant to give up on the things at the dinner? ”

Su Qing came in with a square plate of Guangcai depicting gold flowers and birds, which contained dried meat and dried jujubes of Yanjin plum, and smiled gently.

Xing Ming Xingzhao shook his head, looking very hard to say, and when he saw Su Qing coming in, he hurriedly put up his little face and asked, "Where did you talk about it before?" ”

Su Qing covered her mouth and laughed: "How do I know this, the second lady talks to the old lady, is it possible that the slave can still listen to his ears?" ”

Xingming hung his head in disappointment, Xingzhao saw it clearly, if it was really for the marriage of Huang He's two families, it was normal for Xingming not to say anything, and he would know that Huang Sanniang was this virtue, looking at his grandson and looking at the old, how good can his parents be? It's just that Xingming didn't say it, and he couldn't take the lead in proposing it, so he had to convince him: "The second aunt and grandmother won't treat you badly, just wait." ”

Xingming also tossed and turned all night, thinking about Huang Sanniang's unforgiving appearance, and thinking that if he really married into the Huang family, he didn't have a good husband, and his mother was even more difficult, and vaguely flashed the eyebrows and eyes of Erlang of the Li family, and his heart was shocked, and he drank almond cheese tea as if to cover up, and only spit out the sentence after a while: "This tea is really bitter." ”

Xingzhao shook his head with a smile, took the candied fruit and said, "There is always sweet, third sister, you can taste plum jerky." ”

The young man does not know the taste of sorrow, compared to life and death, all the things in the world are still irreparable.

In the front hall, Rui's brain sells golden beasts, there is smoke curling, and the second lady's crisp and beautiful voice is in the empty lobby, as if there is a sound of continuous sound turning around the beam.

The daughter-in-law couldn't make up her mind, so she had to come to beg her mother. A woman's marriage is like a second reincarnation, once the marriage is not good, it is really called the heavens and the earth. When the daughter-in-law marries into the He family, the mother treats the daughter-in-law as if she were a daughter, which is the blessing of the daughter-in-law. "The second lady is very good at talking, and the flattery is silent.

Mrs. Tai was worried, the current situation of the Huang family is not bad, the family is all good at life, otherwise how can it be so easy to make friends with the Lin'an Hou Mansion, just use the concubine of the He family to set the Huang family, will it be a loss?
