Chapter 25: Old Things
It's Friday again, so have a great weekend everyone!! Tickets, collections, come on~~~――
Mei Yuan is not the place to speak, Chu Weilin took Bao Hibiscus and Bao Lian back to Qinghui Yuan.
Bao Jin sent the maid who was guarding outside the main house, stood there by herself, and picked a curtain to send Chu Weilin and Bao Jin in.
Mother Lu heard the noise, came from the back room, and saw Bao Hibiscus standing outside, she couldn't help but be stunned, and came over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Bao Jin pointed to the room and whispered, "Sister Bao Lian is talking to the girl." ”
Mother Lu nodded clearly: "If the girl has something to look for me, you can let someone come to the back." ”
Baolian added tea and held it in front of Chu Weilin, and when Chu Weilin took it, she carefully sorted out her thoughts and told all the things she had inquired about.
"Girl, it was Caiyu and Xiang's mother who were talking in the garden just now." After Baolian finished speaking, seeing that Chu Weilin was a little dazed, she explained, "It's all brought into the house by ** milk." ”
The second grandfather, Chu Weikun, is the second son of the Huang family, who married the Miao family a few years ago, and Caiyun and Xiang's mother were married in from the Miao family.
Chu Weilin pursed her lips and thought about it, she rarely went to the long room, and she didn't have any contact with the two sisters-in-law, and the people around them only had a vague outline, but they didn't match the number.
Seeing Chu Weilin signaling to go down, Baolian said again: "Two years ago, the eldest lady rewarded four maids from the yard, two of which were sent to Yewuyuan to the uncle and grandmother, and the other two were given to the second master and ** grandmother. Caiyu has a high heart, and she is a person who has the heart to lift, so she had some disputes with the maid who came over. ”
As for the trivial things, Baolian is not a good maid and said with her own girl, Chu Weilin can understand it after listening to it roughly.
Regarding the matter in her brother's and sister-in-law's house, Chu Weilin is not concerned at the moment, what she cares about is Manniang.
"Which house did you mention to your mother?"
When Baolian heard this, her face was a little embarrassed, and she frowned for a while.
She went to talk to her mother-in-law, and talked to her mother-in-law for a long time before she confided a few words.
The name Manniang, Xiang Pozi heard it by chance from an old servant woman in the Chu family, she was curious and wanted to ask, but the servant woman leaked her mouth for a while, and she didn't dare to say it in detail.
Xiang mother-in-law has always loved to get to the bottom of things, and it took some thought to know a thing or two.
"It's from our old lady and the old lady's house." Baolian stubbornly said, "It was rewarded by the ancestors before the old lady got married." A total of two decent maids were rewarded, one of which was Manniang, who was very liked by the ancestors. Xiang's mother didn't know about other things. ”
Baolian said, quietly looked at Chu Weilin's expression, saw that she lowered her eyes and was silent, she couldn't help beating the drum in her heart, and after thinking about it, she finally poured out the things next to her: "The slave and maid calculated the time when the old lady married, and they were still in the old capital at that time, and they had not entered Beijing. Because it was an old thing, the mother didn't know much, she had only heard that the maids that the ancestors rewarded to a few old ladies back then were all accepted in the end. ”
After Baolian finished speaking, she stood quietly with her hands down, not disturbing Chu Weilin's thoughts.
Chu Weilin held the somewhat cold tea cup, and looked at the skirt of her embroidered phoenix wearing a peony in a daze.
The bright silk threads are embroidered into delicate peonies, and the dense stitches are set in batches, and there is no omission.
These old things should be very clear, but like this phoenix wearing peonies, they are stacked at the bottom in batches, and only one corner is glimpsed.
Those are all rewarded by the ancestors, and it is impossible to be just a concubine, at least a concubine.
And now in the house of the third old lady, Aunt Xia is the face of Mrs. Zhang's marriage, and the two intercourse with the two people in office are not yet thirty years old, judging from their age and status, it is impossible for them to be rewarded by the ancestors back then.
So where did Man Niang and the other maid go?
Is the concubine surnamed Gui mentioned by Chu Weiwan one of them?
In Tallinn that day, the old woman mistook her for a full mother, but was it a full mother to the mother-in-law?
The most important thing is that Mrs. Zhang's heart knot is really related to Manniang?
"...... in Yishun Hall," Chu Weilin muttered in a low voice.
When Bao Lian heard this, she leaned down and asked, "What else does the girl command?" ”
Chu Weilin wanted to say something, but the words came around her mouth and swallowed it. Yishun Hall is the old man next to Mrs. Zhang, and she won't reveal anything, so it doesn't hurt to let Baolian carefully go to the side to knock on the side, if she directly reveals the name "Manniang", I'm afraid that it will fall into Mrs. Zhang's ears and cause unnecessary trouble.
"Nothing."
Seeing this, Baolian didn't ask again, although she had doubts.
After a few days, Yishun Hall changed a prescription.
Chu Lunyu was concerned about Mrs. Zhang's body, and took a pair of children to greet him when he was resting.
Yu's mother still stopped people in the courtyard: "Fifth master, the old lady just drank medicine and fell asleep." ”
Chu Lunyu's expression was solemn, and he lowered his voice and said to Yu's mother: "Mom, last time Dr. Zhu said that it would be fine in three or five days, why did it delay until today?" ”
"Fifth master, you know, the old lady is an old disease." Yu's mother sighed, shook her head, and said, "Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread." ”
Chu Lunyu was still not at ease, and looked into the window with a slight slit, but he couldn't see anything clearly: "Even if we are sick, we should also be allowed to serve the disease." ”
When Yu's mother heard this, she became more and more respectful: "The old lady said that several masters are busy with official business on weekdays, and they can't let her body be dragged down." The masters and girls are all young, so don't go to the sickbed, lest you get sick. The slaves and maids will do their best to serve the old lady, and Aunt Xia will be together, don't worry. ”
Yu's mother's words came to this point, and Chu Lunyu was not easy to insist, and led the children to withdraw.
As soon as he left Yishun Hall, he met Chu Lunfeng, and the two brothers talked a few words, and then dispersed.
Mrs. Zhang's illness did not improve slightly until the end of the month, and she recovered her morning and dusk concentration, but her spirit was still not good, and she sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed, leaning on the middle of her body with half of her body.
Chu Weichen sat next to Mrs. Zhang with tears in his eyes: "Grandmother has been sick for so long, and the whole family is worried. ”
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she glanced at Chu Weichen angrily: "What are you worried about?" Afraid I'll just get sick? ”
Chu Weichen was taken aback by Mrs. Zhang's attitude, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to quietly ask the Li family for help-
