Chapter 006
In the east room of the main house of Huifeng Pavilion, a conversation between a mother-in-law and a concubine's daughter-in-law was going on calmly.
"San Lang's daughter-in-law, I heard that you were sick a while ago, but have you ever recovered?" Mrs. Hou leaned on the Peng couch by the window and asked lightly.
"If you go back to your mother, it's all right. Lao's mother asked if it was her daughter-in-law. Wang replied respectfully.
"That'll be fine." Mrs. Hou nodded, picked up the teacup casually, took a sip of tea, and continued: "You young people, you just don't know how to take care of your body. Not in the future. What she is talking about here is that the Wang family stayed by Fu Jun's side for three days and three nights without closing her eyes, and she is quite to blame for her words.
"Yes." Wang only replied succinctly, and said nothing else.
Mrs. Hou looked at her deeply, paused for a moment, and then said unhurriedly: "Since it is a great deal, I have a matter to hand over to you here." It's the shopping in the big kitchen," she put down the teacup, lowered her head and played with her nails idly, as if casually, "This matter was originally in the hands of the eldest daughter-in-law." However, there are many children in her room, and there are many things, and she has to manage half of the accounts in the house, which is really hard. Since your body is all right, then leave this matter to you. With that, Mrs. Hou raised her head and looked at Wang fixedly.
"Yes, Mother." Wang responded. The attitude is still respectful, and the answer is still concise.
Mrs. Hou looked a little surprised, and glanced at Wang, but saw that her expression was calm and she didn't see anything unusual.
"It's good that you answer, I'm afraid you'll be humble." Mrs. Hou laughed, took another sip of the teacup, and said, "Then this matter is so decided, Ming'er will have someone send you the account book." ”
Wang replied again, and said nothing more.
When Mrs. Hou saw this, she felt slightly annoyed in her heart. I knew that this Wang was shrewd, but now it seems that he can't slip his hands, and he doesn't even miss a word. It's just that today, whether Wang should or not, she is sure that it will be done.
She coughed, cleared her throat and said, "Since you have to take care of things, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of San Lang." I happen to have someone here, so I put it in Saburo's house, so I can share your worries, I think you should be willing, Saburo daughter-in-law? Although this sentence is a question, the tone of Mrs. Hou's speech, where there is half an inquiry, but it directly settles the matter.
Wang's face changed slightly, and he raised his head and quickly glanced at Mrs. Hou, just in time to meet the other party's meaningful eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head and answered in a low voice.
But then she answered: "It's just, daughter-in-law ......"
"I don't think you're happy about it." Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Hou interrupted her, and then said with a straight face: "It's just that you also think about it, you have been in the Hou Mansion for five or six years, and you only have one of the four girls by your side." Among the people in this room this morning, Da Lang and Erlang are all children and daughters, but San Lang Zixi is so thin, there is not even a person in the room, and it is not like it. ”
Mrs. Hou paused, looked at the Wang family, and said earnestly: "No matter what, San Lang is also a gentleman from the Hou Mansion, and he also faced the Holy Temple in the Golden Palace back then, and has the reputation of 'Tanhua Fu Sanlang'." Now that I have married you, I have come back, but my knees and my surroundings are so empty, I can't say anything. I know that you young couples are deeply affectionate, and I, as an elder, naturally only want to be happy for you, so I have not asked anything about your room over the years. ”
Speaking of this, she changed her words and slowed down her tone: "It's just that in the end, I am also San Lang's mother, and you three houses are thin, and I really don't have the reason to look at it like this, so I added people to San Lang's house." Don't worry, that girl is my own conditioner, the most gentle and honest, put it in your room, will be able to share your worries. ”
After Mrs. Hou finished saying this long paragraph, she looked at Wang earnestly, her expression was quite eager, however, those eyes were cold, without a trace of warmth.
Wang listened to Mrs. Hou's words, but his face turned scorched, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "Where does the daughter-in-law dare to be dissatisfied with her mother's arrangement?" The person who is conditioned by the mother herself must be excellent, and the daughter-in-law is happy to have one more sister, how dare she have any resentment? As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and she looked quite aggrieved.
Mrs. Hou was really surprised, she didn't even hear the hidden wit in Wang's words, she only looked at Wang suspiciously, and wondered: Wang's face was obviously embarrassed, wasn't it because he wanted to release people around San Lang, so why?
Seeing the questioning look on Mrs. Hou's face, Wang took out a handkerchief and pressed the corner of her eyes, and then said aggrievedly: "What the daughter-in-law wants to say is something that is purchased in the big kitchen. ”
"Oh, that's what it was." Mrs. Hou involuntarily relaxed her tone. She thought that the Wang family was going to make some other request, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter. Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on her face, and she asked in a harmonious voice, "Tell me about it." ”
Wang said: "The daughter-in-law thought, although this purchase is not a big deal, but it is the first time that the daughter-in-law has been in charge of the house, and the daughter-in-law is afraid that she will not be able to suppress the mothers in charge, and when the time comes, the wrong errand will be disgraced by the daughter-in-law, and the most important thing is that she is afraid that her mother will be embarrassed." ”
"What's the big deal," Mrs. Hou said with a smile, "How can those mothers in charge have a reason to disrespect their masters, if someone embarrasses you, you just have to go back to me." ”
In these words, every word is thinking about the Wang family, but I don't want to think about it, if the Wang family can't suppress the subordinates, then they still need to go to Mrs. Hou to seek justice, who will take her in their eyes in the future? I'm afraid it's going to be even harder to convince the public.
Wang understood the reason, sneered secretly, but made a grateful look on his face, and bowed his head and said: "The daughter-in-law is to share her mother's worries, how dare she work for her mother again and again?" The daughter-in-law was utterly guilty. The daughter-in-law thought, after all, I am young, and I have never been in charge of the affairs of the house, so I don't know anything about the old rules and regulations, but I am afraid that I will not act in accordance with the rules of the house. It is better for the mother to send another housekeeper mother to help the daughter-in-law take care of the children, so as not to make jokes and embarrass the mother. I just ask my mother to allow this for the sake of her daughter-in-law's youth and ignorance. With that, she got up and poured a cup of tea, and gently rested it on Mrs. Hou's hand, with a soft and respectful face.
Mrs. Hou's face showed a slight groan, and her mind changed slightly. I think what Wang said is very reasonable. She didn't plan to really hand over the purchase to the Wang family, but it was just a reason. Since Wang is very obedient and obedient in another matter, it is nothing to rely on her.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Hou smiled and stretched out her hand to nod Wang's forehead, and said with a slight disappointment: "You are so exquisite, and you put on such a small and courteous appearance, but I can't bear to be a mother-in-law." That's it, just rely on you, I asked the Jia family to be with you, so you can rest assured? "This Mother Jia is also a person who needs to be used by Mrs. Hou's side, and she has always been very decent.
"Thank you, Mother. It's my mother who loves me the most. Wang said with a smile, and diligently refilled some tea for Mrs. Hou, and his heart was slightly relieved. At least this matter is satisfactorily resolved, as for another matter...... There is always a way to solve it.
The words have basically been said, and the matter is almost done, and both sides are happy. Mrs. Hou instructed Yu's mother: "Go and call Qiaoyun." ”
Yu's mother took the order, and after a while, she saw the door curtain lifted, and Yu's mother led a girl in an apricot red shirt and walked in. The girl seems to have been carefully dressed, with a few golden hairpins on her head, which is also gorgeous. As soon as she entered the door, she first asked Mrs. Hou for peace, but after standing up, she didn't even dare to raise her head, and her face was full of crimson.
"You girl, what is there to be ashamed of, this is a good thing." Mrs. Hou said with a smile.
Qiao Yun raised his head, with a pair of fawn-like eyes, and glanced at the Wang family timidly.
Unexpectedly, with just one glance, Qiaoyun was completely stunned.
The Wang family in front of him is as beautiful as a fairy, and people can't take their eyes off it. It's strange that everyone says that Wang's beauty is good, but Qiao Yunyuan still doesn't believe it, thinking it's just an exaggeration, how can I take a closer look today, only to know that Wang's is so beautiful. For a while, Qiaoyun only felt that her eyes were not enough, and the woman in front of her was so beautiful that her heart trembled.
Seeing Qiaoyun's stunned face, just staring at Wang's family, Mrs. Hou couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed, she glanced at Wang's family, and then coughed and said, "Qiaoyun, don't kowtow to the third lady soon." ”
Qiaoyun woke up and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow to Wang.
Wang smiled lightly and said softly, "Okay, get up." She spoke with a Gusu accent, soft and sweet, which matched her beauty very well.
Qiaoyun stood up and quietly looked at the Wang family for a while, and finally had to admit that the beauty of the Wang family was far from being comparable to herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little gray in her heart.
Qiaoyun has always been proud of her beauty, and she is also graceful, thinking that her future must be good. Seeing that Peiyun, who didn't even stand out, had to enter Fu Zhuang's room, he became more and more heartbroken, and he only wanted to get ahead.
Later, I heard Mrs. Hou say that she was going to give her to Fu Geng, and her heart was so happy that it almost popped out. When carrying people on his back, I don't know how many times I fantasized about the situation of being gentle with Fu Geng.
Now, her enthusiasm was a little cold. Wang is so beautiful, compared to her, he is really like a cloud. However, thinking of Fu Geng's handsome and fairy-like face, as well as his gentle smile like a spring breeze, her heart began to stir again.
What about beauty? It's not that you can't give birth to a son? Qiao Yun thought secretly. She had heard her mothers say that a figure like her was the best to give birth. In time, as long as she gives birth to a son, presumably Fu Geng will also look at her differently. Besides, as long as you can watch Fu Geng every day and stay by his side, Fu Geng will have some affection for her for a long time.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yun's face turned redder and redder. She lowered her head and stood timidly on the ground, her soft and helpless appearance, but it was also quite moving. Mrs. Hou nodded secretly, feeling that she had not picked the wrong person. With Qiaoyun's appearance and temperament, as long as he is a man, he is not unmoved.
Since the person has been sent out, Mrs. Hou does not plan to stay as a guest, the Wang family is also simple, and directly recruited Mama Jiang to lead Qiaoyun down, and she asked Mrs. Hou to resign: "The hour is not early, my mother has said so many words, and I am tired of thinking about it, so my daughter-in-law will retire." ”
"Go ahead." Mrs. Hou closed her eyes slightly, her face was really a little tired, and Wang gave a slight salute and withdrew from the main room.
