Chapter 37: Dressed Carefully
"Hey, mother-in-law, you're so good-looking." Hu Acai put his hands in his sleeves, bit his lip, and carefully looked at the beauty in front of him.
Magu was wearing a mist blue embroidered brocade skirt, and the material of this dress was rewarded by Mrs. Zhixian. Today, she is going to attend the 100-day banquet of Mrs. Zhixian and her two children with Hu Caiyu.
On that occasion, although she doesn't have to dress up quietly, she has to cooperate with the occasion and clean up. Really, she rarely seems to be so careful when she comes here.
Magu, who was sitting in front of a dilapidated dresser, facing a bronze mirror, and carefully tracing her eyebrows, almost missed her drawing.
Since Magu was almost burned alive last time, Hu Acai sacrificed his life to save her. Magu decided that she could not judge a person's good or bad by her own opinion. She won't continue to be husband and wife with Hu Acai, but it doesn't seem necessary to be an enemy, right?
"Huh." Magu looked back and smiled bitterly, and continued to draw her eyebrows.
"Mother-in-law, you have a long face now, even the magistrate yamen is now coming and going freely. Eh, you go to the county magistrate and tell me about it, give you a man, and I will arrange an errand in the yamen. Hu Acai leaned against the wall and looked at Magu affectionately.
Hu Acai's request made Magu frown, "Find you an errand?" "That's fine.
"Yes, now Mrs. Zhixian feels that she owes you, and you just went to her to help with this, which can be regarded as repaying your favor." Hu Acai said triumphantly.
Magu sank her face and said in a lesson-telling tone: "How can you say that." I am a midwife, and I am supposed to deliver babies, and since I have done this business, this midwife has become my job. Besides, the adults and Mrs. not only gave me so much dismantling red, but also gave me good money, and there is no such thing as a favor here. If my lord and lady can still treat me like this, we should be content and not insatiable. In the future, you should not say anything about kindness or unkindness. ”
"Okay, okay, okay." Seeing that Magu was really angry, Hu Acai said wistfully: "I won't mention it." Then you should go and help me tell me, I can have a decent errand, and you have a light on your face, don't you? ”
After hesitating for a while, Magu nodded.
Hu Acai is idle all day long, and there is nothing serious to do. Right now, if you can take the initiative to do things, it's good. I have a regular errand so that I can support these children in the future.
Seeing that Magu agreed to his request, Hu Acai was overjoyed, and his face was full of spring breeze, "Great, it's still my mother-in-law facing me." The soft tone that can melt people away, but it didn't get Magu to look at it with affection.
"Huh? You're too excited, get out of here, I'm going to get dressed! With that, he got up and pushed Hu Acai out the door.
Hu Acai seemed to have been hit by something, his face was red and white, he clenched his fists, stood outside the door, and kept exhaling loudly.
"Hahaha, what? Even you can't look down on it? The sister-in-law gloated and instigated on the side, "This daughter-in-law, if you have more ability than you, I'm afraid you, the husband, won't even be able to go up to the kang." ”
Is this a joke that he can't get into Magu's bed? He had indeed been alone for days. How did my sister-in-law know?
Seeing Hu Acai's dejected and stunned appearance, the sister-in-law gasped and opened her eyes wide. She was talking nonsense, and she was blinded by her.
"She really won't let you go to her bed?" The sister-in-law seemed to have made some surprising discovery and asked anxiously.
"What is my sister-in-law talking nonsense? The second sister-in-law fell and injured herself a while ago, so she has been recuperating from her injuries. During this time, I have been busy delivering babies for others, and it is inevitable that my family will not take care of it. The second sister-in-law is not like the eldest sister-in-law, she is idle at home all day long and has nothing to do. Hu Caiyu had just dressed up from the house, and when she heard her sister-in-law's words, she was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
Hu Acai was also frightened by his sister's sharp voice, what was he doing? almost killed Magu. He had already noticed the changes in Magu, although he couldn't say what was going on, but he could be sure that the Magu in front of him was no longer the Magu he was from.
But his suspicions must not be sued by others.
"Caiyu, you look so good today." Hu Acai just wanted to quickly change the topic and not mention him and Magu again, he really couldn't answer this matter.
"Is it because I'm good-looking, or is my second sister-in-law good-looking?" Hu Caiyu playfully sprinkled to the second brother.
The sister-in-law was left to dry.
Magu had already seen the outside in the house. She didn't pay attention to her sister-in-law's little tricks.
Hu Acai looked at Magu, who was wearing light makeup and her hair was pulled up with a white hosta, giving people a dignified and quiet feeling.
And Hu Caiyu was forced by her mother to dress up carefully today. The lotus floral brocade skirt, the hair comb hangs down the bun, and the pink makeup looks beautiful and moving.
The sister-in-law looked at Magu and Hu Caiyu with an envious look.
Last time, she didn't take the initiative to help Magu, but she didn't expect that Magu didn't give her any of the things that Mrs. Zhixian rewarded, and she was really annoyed when she thought about it.
Seeing that they were beautiful one by one, the sister-in-law went back to the room angrily.
The carriage that had come to pick them up had already arrived at the door, and this time only one driver had arrived. The coachman spread the word that because there were a lot of people in the house, there was really no one to pick them up.
Being able to personally send a car to pick them up, Magu is already quite grateful. expressed his gratitude and took Hu Caiyu into the carriage.
On such an occasion, Magu originally thought that they would enter through the side door. But the carriage stopped in front of the magistrate's yamen, and the people who greeted the guests recognized Magu and them at a glance.
The housekeeper's mother hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The Ma girl and the Caiyu girl are finally here." Originally, I was going to pick up the two of them with the carriage today, but there were so many things in this house that I couldn't get out of it, so I had to snub the two. ”
The housekeeper's mother's true feelings, Magu looked at the truth, this was by no means perfunctory to her. At this moment, Magu felt for the first time the glory and respect brought to her by the midwife.
Hu Caiyu has been following behind her second sister-in-law, she is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, she should not appear on such an occasion and show her face.
The reason why her mother's relatives were able to agree to her coming with her was because there were a lot of big families at the banquet, and maybe someone's wife could take a fancy to her and come to the door to propose marriage, so her family affairs would also be settled. What's more, the people who can come to the county yamen to eat must be people with some status.
There were many guests in the yamen, and the magistrate was alone outside to greet him. Magu stepped forward with Caiyu and saluted, "Congratulations to the Lord and Mrs. for having children." "Although I have already congratulated him, I still have to congratulate him solemnly at this moment.
"Thank you, thank you! And Madame said, Let me come and look for her in the house. "Lord Zhixian has no official authority today, like a kind father.
Magu smiled and returned the salute and took Hu Caiyu to the inner room.
