Chapter 211: Undercurrent (3)
Pauline squeezed out a smile and said in a low voice, "Mom, it's okay." ”
Deng Ping's family saw Baolian like this, although they knew that they shouldn't ask anymore, but they cared about her in the end, and looked at her with concern.
Baolian lowered her head and took a deep breath, raised her head again, smiled much more frankly than before, and said: "Mom doesn't know, on Chinese New Year's Eve, a few of us accompanied grandma to eat, grandma sighed, saying that she was afraid that she would not be able to keep us for long, and if there was a good place to go, she would have to be released in the next year or two." Grandma just said this, I really can't bear grandma, I want to stay for a few more years......"
"It's no wonder," Deng Ping's family comforted, "You and Grandma are sisters, and after so many years, you will definitely not be able to accept it for a while." However, the girl listens to me, no matter how intimate it is, it can't be more than the master and servant, if grandma has an arrangement, the girl should go with it, after all, grandma will not treat you badly. ”
Baolian bowed her head, thanked Deng Ping's family with a smile, and added: "Mom, don't talk about this." ”
Deng Ping's family responded and accompanied Baolian to her house, and as soon as she walked outside the West Chamber, she saw someone outside the door entering the courtyard.
Pauline stopped and looked at the person, she had cried a lot before, her eyes were still red and swollen at this time, and her vision was a little blurry, and she looked carefully for a long time before she could see the person clearly.
"Aunt Zhou?" Pauline muttered in a low voice, how could she come over?
Deng Ping's family had already taken the first step to greet him and said, "This is a rare guest." ”
Hongjian smiled shyly and said, "Is Mother Ji here?" ”
Deng Pingjia nodded, pointed to the direction of the back cover room, and said, "It's there." ”
The red note thanked Deng Ping's family and went back.
Pauline tilted her head to look at her. The red note was dressed in a half-new placket, and her hair was neatly combed. He wore a few silk flowers on his sideburns, and only a transparent jade bracelet exposed on his white wrist when he raised his hand was more luxurious. There were some undignified big girls on the side, and Baolian whispered to Deng Ping's family: "It's much worse than when I was in Songling Courtyard." ”
Deng Pingjia's eyes were extremely sharp, and he could see through all the outfits of the red note with just one glance up and down, and he couldn't help sighing: "Naturally, it's incomparable." ”
When he was in Songling Courtyard, the red note was particularly liked by the ancestors because of the cinnabar mole on his forehead, although it was a second-class, but there was no shortage of food and clothing, and he was also a little decent to walk around in the courtyards, and after being pointed out to Chang Yuying's side. It's smooth and smooth.
When I opened my face and became an aunt, I saw that I had become half a master, but in less than a year, my life was going back more and more.
The Da Zhao family treats the red note not salty or light, Chang Henghan now has a newcomer, and the red note has an aunt, what kind of decency does it talk about in this house.
Pauline winked at her, then turned and went into her own room.
After a stick of incense, Ji's mother sent the red note out. Halfway through, there was something to do behind, and Ji's mother was stopped by Li De'an's family in a hurry.
Seeing that Ji's mother was a little embarrassed, Hongjian said, "Mom has something." That's still a matter of doing things, don't send me. ”
Ji's mother didn't say much, and walked quickly.
Red Note stood in the courtyard and let out a long sigh. Noticing that someone seemed to be staring at her, she glanced around. It happened to be opposite to Pauline standing by the window.
The red note pursed her lips and smiled, her smile gentle and kind. Like one of the flowers in the spring breeze, it is inconspicuous, but it is also beautiful.
Baolian was stunned, but the other party was so kind, she couldn't avoid her gaze.
Lianbu Wanting, the red note walked out of the window of the west chamber, looked at Baolian through the window, and said softly: "Miss Baolian's eyes are red, but have you cried?" ”
Pauline didn't answer.
The red note didn't mind, and said, "It must have been trained, right?" The master is the master, and if you endure it, it will pass. ”
Baolian simply diverted the topic and asked, "Why did Aunt Zhou come to find Ji's mother?" ”
"Our wife set a table for Mingmo three days later, Mingmo and Ji's mother are very good, I want to invite Ji's mother to have a drink, but my wife is busy these days, and the girls and mothers around me can't get out, so I came to inform Ji's mother." Red Note explained.
Baolian blinked, Chang Henghan wants to take a new concubine, the red note......
She looked at the red note, although the other party was smiling, but there seemed to be loneliness in her eyes, Baolian suddenly rushed out: "It's a cold day, and you shouldn't let your aunt go for such a thing." ”
Hongjian's faint smile stiffened, and he shook his head and said, "I'm here by myself, it's good to come out for a walk." ”
New people and old people, in fact, they are all the same, since Chang Henghan left her behind, the other concubines have laughed at her for finding her unlucky, Hongjian doesn't like to fight with them, and he doesn't think there is anything to fight, but he can't stand the oppressive atmosphere in the courtyard, and he can find a reason to come out and walk around, but he is really relieved.
Pauline looked at the red note in a daze, this person was obviously sad, why did he keep smiling?
It is clear that what I want most at this time is to have a quiet place and be alone, but why, Hongjian will take the initiative to talk to her?
The red note seemed to be a little cold, put his hands to his mouth and sighed twice, and then lowered his eyes and said, "It's strangely cold." I don't have anyone here to talk to, and when I saw you crying, I ...... Don't be surprised, I'll go first. ”
Pauline shook her head, and was about to say that she didn't care, but she happened to see the wrist of the red note.
The slender, fair-skinned wrist wore the jade bracelet, and underneath the clear jade color was a small piece of cyan.
Baolian stared at it with wide eyes, and the red note had already understood, so she quickly lowered her hand, avoided Baolian's scrutiny, and walked away quickly.
Standing in place, Baolian thought for a while, and finally walked towards Chu Weilin's house.
Chu Weilin had finished eating, and was instructing Liuyu to bring Brother Lin over, when she saw Baolian come in.
After saying so much just now, seeing Baolian at this time, her heart was a little unstable, Chu Weilin raised her chin and motioned for Baolian to sit down.
Baolian moved the pestle, sat on the couch, and whispered to Chu Weilin: "Aunt Zhou came just now, saying that the eldest lady would set up a banquet for Mingmo in three days, and invited Mother Ji to come over for a drink." ”
Chu Weilin raised her eyebrows, talking about these things a while ago, the Da Zhao family obviously had no such intentions, she only regarded Mingmo as a room, but after the banquet. is officially promoted to an aunt, and this change is quite fast.
"The slave maid just saw Aunt Zhou with black green on her wrist. And she didn't want to be seen at all, the slave and maid estimated it. Are there other injuries on your body as well? Pauline's voice was softer.
Chu Weilin frowned, tapped the couch lightly with her fingertips, and said, "Wuqing? Calling someone to fight? ”
"This slave can't say for sure, but I just think that the eldest lady is there, and she has been worried about it during this time."
It's not just a worry, the Da Zhao family is simply annoyed during this time.
Chang Yuying is going to get married, and she is marrying Lingxi, which is enough for the Zhao family to be busy, and the Tu family is eyeing it again. I wish I could get a piece of the pie everywhere, and these are all about it, Chang Henghan has added countless things to her.
The concubines that the colleagues mentioned last time wanted to send, the Mingmo who was about to be lifted, and the women around Chang Henghan were originally a lot, so the big Zhao family didn't want to suppress anyone, but they couldn't stop them from causing trouble.
Chu Weilin thought that the black blue on the red note was probably made by other concubines.
The red note came out of Ji Jinyuan. The maid who was guarding outside greeted her, bowed her head slightly, and walked forward again.
Halfway through, Cuizhu said "Huh": "Auntie." We should go that way. ”
The red note didn't look back, and said softly: "You can also go here." ”
Cuizhu pouted, such a cold day. There is something to walk in the garden, but you can look up and see the red note with a depressed expression. All of a sudden, my heart softened. Auntie doesn't want to go back, the yard is smoky. It's not as good as in the garden, although it's colder, but at least it's not annoying.
Thinking of this, Cuizhu didn't say anything, and walked into the garden with the red note.
The red note walked very slowly, and did not stop until he passed the outside of the bamboo garden, pointed to the west, and said: "Passing through the Moon Gate, there is Lamei behind, you can help me fold some of it, I will wait for you here." ”
Cui Zhu glanced at the plum garden, then looked at the bamboo garden, and said: "Then the aunt is sheltered from the wind under the porch, don't go into this house, it's all the books of several masters, we can't figure out that, in case we lose something, we can't understand." ”
Hongjian smiled and nodded: "I won't go in." ”
Cui Zhu walked a few steps away, and the red note was standing outside the bamboo garden, but she heard a squeak, and the door of the bamboo garden opened by itself.
Hongjian turned around and took a look, and a person came out of the room, but it was Chang Yuye, and she hurriedly called "uncle".
Chang Yuye was reading in the bamboo garden, and he didn't expect someone to pass by, so he came out to see when he heard the voice, and when he saw that it was a red note, he was a little embarrassed for a while, and said "Auntie".
The cold wind gusted, and the cheeks of the red note blew red, Chang Yuye turned to the side and said, "Auntie, come in and bake the fire." ”
The red note hurriedly waved his hand: "If the slave is not in the way, he will not go in." ”
Chang Yuye wanted to persuade again, but before the words came out, he woke up first, and it was not suitable for a lonely man and a widow at all, so he hurriedly said: "It's me who is reckless, aunt is not strange." ”
Hongzhi nodded, felt that something was wrong, and shook his head slightly.
Chang Yuye stood by the door with his hands behind his back, and when he saw that Hongjian was absent-minded, he gritted his teeth and said, "Auntie, my mother is ...... She has been in a bad mood recently, she has been a little impatient in her speech and actions, and if she has done something wrong, I will compensate my aunt for my mother. ”
Such unexpected words made Hongjian's body shake, and she turned her head to look at Chang Yuye blankly, seeing that he was sincere, she said uncomfortably: "Uncle, Mrs. is the master mother, and the slave is just a subordinate, don't say that." ”
Chang Yuye sighed: "I can't persuade my father, I can't persuade my mother, I know about her beating you......"
Having said this, Chang Yuye didn't know what to say, let the red note continue to suffer, he couldn't say it, but it was not appropriate to say bluntly that the Da Zhao family had done it......
In the end, he could only hang his shoulders weakly.
"The slave knows that the wife is not like this originally, there are too many worries during this time, and the wife will ......be like this" The red note bit her lower lip lightly, "Uncle, it is natural for the wife to discipline the slave and maid, you must not have any ......knots with the master and the wife for these trivial matters"
Speaking of this, the feelings that had been suppressed before were a little uncontrollable, even if she bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes were a little wet, she hurriedly turned her back, so as not to let Chang Yuye see it, and said: "Mrs. is willing to teach slaves, it is a blessing for slaves." ”
At the beginning, Chang Henghan was quite close to the red note, and the Da Zhao family didn't say it, and his heart was not happy, so other people spoke sour words about the red note, and the Da Zhao family didn't know about it at all, and they were up to them to make the red note. And the turning point came after the mother-in-law of the criminal family hanged herself, the relationship between Chang Henghan and Da Zhao took a turn for the worse, and he was not even willing to step into the courtyard gate.
The red note did as he said, but Chang Henghan was dissatisfied with the Da Zhao family, how could he be satisfied with the red note who listened to the words of the Da Zhao family?
The beauty sent by others outside the house, the Ming Mo in the study, and even a few others, the red note is known.
Da Zhao also knew that she transferred her dissatisfaction with Chang Henghan to Hongjian, and felt that Hongjian had no ability.
This qiē, the red note can only endure, who made her a concubine, a concubine without any background backing.
It's just that the red note didn't expect that these things made Chang Yuye see them in his eyes.
Holding back tears, the red note hurriedly turned around and blessed a blessing, and immediately turned around: "Uncle's kindness, the slave remembers it, and the slave will not be angry with his wife." The slave has to go back first. ”
After the red note finished speaking, she didn't pay attention to Chang Yuye anymore, and walked quickly to the outside of the bamboo garden, just as Cuizhu came back and held a few plums in front of her.
"Auntie?" Seeing that the red note looked wrong, Cui Zhu frowned and called out.
Hongjian hurriedly squeezed out a smile, took Lamei, and said in a dumb voice: "The wind was strong just now, and my eyes hurt a little." ”
Cuizhu probe glanced into the bamboo garden, and there was nothing unusual, so she didn't ask anymore and said, "Then let's go back early." ”
The red note motioned for Cuizhu to walk ahead, turned around and looked around, and followed.
In the bamboo garden, the window opened slightly, Chang Yuye stood behind the window, and happened to see the red note turn around from the crack.
The plum in her hand is red, and the skin of the red note is getting whiter and whiter, but no matter how red the plum is, it is no more red than the cinnabar mole in the center of her eyebrows.
Chang Yuye withdrew his gaze, and the hand hanging by his side slowly clenched.
He felt that he was no different from the red note, and he was sandwiched between the Great Zhao family and Chang Henghan, and he couldn't do anything.
He told Chang Henghan more than once, please don't embarrass the Da Zhao family, the Da Zhao family can't help himself, but Chang Henghan doesn't listen to him at all, after a few times, even he, the eldest son, is a little more estranged, and in front of the Da Zhao family, what can he persuade? Chang Yuye understands the difficulties of the Da Zhao family, and the Da Zhao family wants to vent, and he also understands that if he can't resolve the contradictions between his parents, it is a dead knot.
As a child, he can't share his parents' worries, he can only be in a dilemma in the middle, he thinks, he is really useless.
Originally, I came to Zhuyuan to meditate, but now I found that a room of books is no better than a jar of wine, and only a drunk can relieve a thousand sorrows. (To be continued......)
