Chapter 203: Disappearance (5)
In order to cool down in the mourning hall, a lot of ice cubes were put in, and it was so cold that even if it was bright outside, the people inside were uncomfortable.
Chu Weiai was timid, leaning on her two sisters and shedding tears.
Chu Weilin thought of the Jiang family, the last time she knelt in the mourning hall was when the Jiang family passed away, her chest was difficult to suppress the sadness for a while, and her eyes were blurred.
Chu Weilin glanced at Chu Weiai and said, "It's not dark outside, and it's not just a few of us here, but also brothers and uncles, what are you afraid of?" Will your aunt still want you to accompany her? ”
"You ......" Chu Weiyi shrunk his neck and spit out a sentence for a while, "It's not just the uncle and grandmother......
Not only Mrs. Wen, but also Na Chu Weihu and Aunt Xu and a group of people who accompanied them.
There are so many people who come to mourn every day, and crying can be heard everywhere in Zhangeiyuan, and when you hear it too much, you don't care much about it.
Wen The old lady was going to stop for seventy-seven and forty-nine days, and Chu Weihu, who was martyred to the outside world, was the same, as for Aunt Xu and her for those years, they didn't have this treatment, so they were buried early.
On the first seven days, you are to keep all night.
On the third watch, Chu Weiyi had a stomach upset, she didn't dare to go out alone, but she didn't dare to trouble the He family, even if she was surrounded by a few people who were waiting, she was not at ease, so she took Chu Weilin.
Chu Weilin knelt in this dreary mourning hall for a long time, thinking that she could go out to relieve her breath, so she should go.
While waiting for Chu Weiai, Chu Weilin heard a low cry, and there seemed to be a faint fire not far away, she raised her voice and asked, "Who is there?" ”
The crying suddenly stopped. Even the firelight quickly dimmed, Chu Weilin asked again, and Baolian went over with a lantern and brought a person out of it.
Chu Weilin saw that she was a maid with raw eyes, and she cried so much that both eyes were swollen.
"Why are you here?" Chu Weilin asked her.
The maid sniffed and said, "The slave burned some paper money." ”
As soon as Bao Lian heard this, she understood and asked, "Are there your relatives who were martyred this time?" ”
"A good sister to a slave......"
In this way, Chu Weilin was not interested in asking again, it was a sad thing after all. It is also normal to burn some paper money on the first seven days. Seeing that Chu Weiai was coming, he let the maid go.
Chu Weiai's eyes were good, and when she saw the maid, she tilted her head and asked, "That seems to be Lauder." What's wrong with her? ”
"Burn paper money. Said it was for good sisters. ”
Chu Weiyi understood. And the mother-in-law beside her whispered the Buddha's name: "I'm afraid it's for Lanxiang." ”
After that, Chu Weilin didn't care who Lan Xiang was, and she didn't see Lauder again. This incident was a small episode, she quickly forgot about it, and now if she didn't think carefully about the events of the old lady's death, just listening to the name Lanxiang, she would not be able to remember it.
Chu Weilin looked up at Liuyu and asked eagerly, "Lauder, Liuyu, do you know Lauder?" ”
Liuyu pondered for a while, and had no impression of the name at all, so she could only shake her head.
Mother Deng didn't know anymore.
Chu Weilin instructed: "I seem to have heard someone mention that this Lauder and Orchid are sisters, and my mother will go to the house another day to ask, which house and courtyard is this Lauder, and what is the origin." ”
Mother Deng nodded yes, and when she saw that it was getting late, she went back.
When Chang Yuyun came back, Chu Weilin roughly mentioned the matter of mentioning Nalanxiang, although she knew that she would not help, but she would not hold it in her chest and add to her troubles.
In the Chu Mansion, eight or nine days have passed, and a maid named Lauder has not been found.
Chu Weilin couldn't wait any longer, called Liuyu over, and said, "I'm sure there is a maid named Lauder in the house, if they haven't found out yet, you go and ask the eighth sister, she may know." ”
Chu Weiai?
Liuyu was a little unsure, but since Chu Weilin had ordered so, she did so and went in response.
Chu Weilin waited patiently, from morning to dusk, Liuyu came back from outside, this way she walked in a hurry, a face called the north wind to blow red, Liuyu went to the middle room to get cold on her body, only to enter the east room, saw Chang Yuyun was playing chess with Chu Weilin, so she stood aside.
Chu Weilin's mind was not on the chessboard, and her chess strength was not good, this game was no different from throwing away her armor, so she simply didn't play, looking at Liuyu and waiting for her to reply.
Liuyu blessed the body and said: "Grandma still remembers clearly, that Lauder found out." ”
Chu Weilin breathed a long sigh of relief, but she still remembered those things: "What about people? Where did she come from? ”
Liuyu 1510 said what happened when he returned to the Chu Mansion.
In the long room, the Huang family still didn't find Lauder, she even wondered if Chu Weilin had misremembered the name, the roster was rummaged over and over again, there was no such person in each room and courtyard, and even the names of the maids who had been released from the house in the past two years She checked them one by one, and there was no such person.
Liuyu went to find Chu Weiai, the actions in the long room, Chu Weiai was not clear, and she was a little surprised when she heard Liuyu mention Lauder.
Chu Weiai had some impressions of this name, and after thinking about it for a long time, she remembered it and said, "Lauder, it seems that she changed her name and followed the second sister." ”
From Chu Weiai's mention, and then look for it, the origin of this maid will be a little clear.
That year, Chu Weiyao was guilty of being in the Xu family, and was brought back by the He family, and he slipped out of the house again thinking of a way, and sang a scene of reunion with Xu Licheng.
Chu Weiyao went to Xu's house again, and was dissatisfied with the maid and wife who were originally serving by her side, just like Qiao Chu, who was squeezed out by Chu Weiyao and squeezed by Qian's mother, and almost lost his hand. The lack of manpower is not a problem, and He himself was impatient to take care of this thankless task, so he asked his mother-in-law to add a few people at random to follow, and among them was Lauder, who was originally a little maid in the three-room garden.
Chu Weiyao didn't like the name Lauder, so she changed it to Bao Hairpin in her decision, and Bao Hairpin followed, and there was only this name left on the roster in the house.
Lauder followed De'an, and no one could tell what the relationship between her and Lan Xiang was.
But in the end, Aunt Xu told Lan Xiang to do things, or Lan Xiang influenced Aunt Xu. Aunt Xu herself was a little confused.
Liuyu said: "This Lauder seems to have a lot to do with Mother Qian, but there is no evidence, and the eldest lady can't force Mother Qian to ask." ”
"Mother Qian?" Chu Weilin pursed her lips.
Lauder is far away in De'an, she can't ask, Mother Qian is Chu Weiyao's nurse, when there is no basis, the Huang family is not good at making things ugly, as long as Mother Qian shakes her head, she can only believe it.
But Chu Weilin didn't have the slightest good impression of that woman.
When Chu Weiyao returned home. Their sisters came to visit. Mother Qian is obviously persuasive, but in fact, she has some provocative meaning, where is this like what a kind-hearted person would do?
When Chu Weiyao got married, Mother Qian didn't follow for some reason. Wait for the next time. Knowing that her aunt and grandmother are not happy in her mother-in-law's house. Changed to Mother Lu and Mother Qin, they had to climb to take care of it, and Mother Qian called Qiao Chutou and fell ill in shock. He stayed in Chu Mansion again.
The son that Qian's mother once gave birth to, I heard that he died young, she has nowhere to go, and in the Chu Mansion, she has no one else to take care of, that is, to support the elderly.
In addition to the housekeeper who pays monthly salaries, there are still a few people in this house who will think of Mother Qian, who has been silent for many years.
Liuyu had other news to Chu Weilin, she said: "The slave maid listened to the two mothers-in-law beside the fifth wife, the last time the matter of the Liguo Mansion was the case, the fifth girl met Mother Qian when she was relaxing in the garden, and Mother Qian said something, and they still think it is not a taste. ”
After hearing this, Chu Weilin couldn't help beating the drum in her heart, those words were no different from provoking, and the relationship between her and Chu Weichen was so bad that there was nothing to provoke.
Since there are no other clues now, it is better to carefully investigate the person of Mother Qian, there may be some clues.
"Check it carefully."
Liuyu nodded: "The slave maid and Yu's mother have already spoken, and the eldest lady also has a number." ”
It always takes some effort to verify these old things, and Chu Weilin must put her mind on her stomach.
Pregnant in October, it is half a month at night according to the words of Master Taikong, which is already about the same, but she still has no feeling of giving birth.
Wen Po has already entered the house to live, and she will come to see Chu Weilin's condition every day, and when she saw her as usual, she comforted: "Grandma, don't be anxious, you are anxious to give birth to a girl, such patience must be a brother." ”
And the nurse has already been chosen, Chu Weilin has seen it, she is a good-looking woman, in her early twenties, she has a three-year-old son, and she has just given birth to a daughter, she is literate and polite, although her son is young, she also has some rules.
Now, as the ancestor said, everything is ready, just waiting for her to give birth.
And in Fuzhong, another happy person is the Liu family.
On Concubine Liu Xian's birthday, the saint held a feast in the palace.
Liu's took a pair of children to go, Gu is dressed up, Liu's is a beautiful embryo, missing the brightness of his youth, but adding countless styles, a smile and a smile can't take people off their eyes.
The Su family saw it, and quietly said to the Xu family: "It is said that the Liu family is a beauty, just look at the sixth uncle and mother to know that this is true, even I, a woman, are dumbfounded." ”
Xu pursed his lips and snorted, "What's the use of being pretty?" No matter how beautiful he is, doesn't the sixth uncle also look east and west? Eight people who carry a sedan chair into the door, in their eyes, are not as good as stolen ones. ”
This was not good, Su didn't dare to answer Xu's words, and when he saw Tu and Chu Weilin coming out of the house, he couldn't help but smile.
Chu Weilin heard the conversation just now, and Tu Shi, who wanted to walk in front of her, also heard it.
Tu hooked the corners of his lips, as if smiling rather than smiling.
She is the most reluctant to listen to people say beautiful, moving and the like, since just set up a marriage, she has been with the Wu family, the wife's face, Tu is fast horses and whips can not catch up, more than much, really bored, now listening to a few nephews and daughters-in-law talk about Liu's appearance, can't help but hum: "If you want to talk about this beauty, which one can compare to our sixth wife's sister-in-law?" ”
Liu's sister-in-law, isn't she Concubine Liu Xian in the palace?
But no matter how beautiful Concubine Liu Xian is, do she dare to compete with the queen?
Don't say it's the Su family, the Xu family can't say anything more.
Tu Shi straightened his waist and walked Manman, but he said in his heart, no matter how beautiful it is, it is not as good as living for a long time, she has never seen the elegance of that one, but now, it is not the same as a cup of loess?
Chu Weilin followed Tu Shi out, she raised her eyes just enough to see half of Tu Shi's face, seeing her pursing her lips, her eyes were gloomy, and suddenly she had a feeling that when Tu Shi mentioned this, she was not thinking about Concubine Liu Xian.
"Madam," Chu Weilin called out to her, "has Madame seen Concubine Xian?" Are the sisters of the sixth uncle and aunt all unforgettable? ”
Tu's footsteps stopped, and when she turned around, there was a little more warning in her eyes: "Daughter-in-law Yu Yun, the most important thing about being a person is that after today and tomorrow, some things don't need to be so clear, even if you understand, you have to be confused with this understanding." In this house, I am really confused, and it has been another year when I opened my eyes. ”
Tu's gaze was too straightforward and frank, and her mouth was confused, Chu Weilin asked her gaze to chill her back, but she didn't avoid it, and pointed straight at it.
"You, don't worry about that, when you have a child, you will focus on men and children, just like me, after a few years, you won't panic about anything. You are a smart person, and a smart person should pretend to be confused the most. After Tu finished speaking, he ignored Chu Weilin and walked away with Han's mother's hand.
Chu Weilin exhaled, led Liuyu to turn around, and went in the direction of Ji Jinyuan.
When she returned to the couch, she pondered Tu's words again.
Tu's ability to eat Chang Hengmiao to death is really not a simple person, as she said, no matter how windy or rainy it is outside, no matter how mean the ancestors are to her, the years after Tu's marriage were a road to the dark.
If the stepson and stepdaughter are not kissed, then they will not kiss, just do a good job on the face, let people pick out the big mistakes, the rest of the thoughts are all on Chang Hengmiao, and when a pair of children are born, no matter what the big Zhao family does with the backyard of Changfu, Tu's head will go to Mingzhou Mansion without looking back, and when the child is older, and then return to Beijing, can the ancestor still eat her raw?
The current Tu clan has to rely on it, and it has to rely on it, the mother's family is not weak, and he will fight for his own strength, and he will not blindly fall behind if he fights with the Da Zhao family.
It was really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, and Tu implemented Taoguang Yanghui very well.
Thinking of this, Chu Weilin couldn't help but smile and shook her head, in the matter of filling the house, Tu Shi thought much more thoroughly than she did at the beginning.
And when Tu Shi and Chu Weilin said these words today, it was not a mention of care, the words were all the same meaning, so that Chu Weilin Mo wanted to be troublesome and dragged her back.
The battle between women, the balance between the Tu family and the Da Zhao family, the Tu family has her own thoughts, she didn't expect Chu Weilin to stand on her side and share her hatred, and she didn't want Chu Weilin to cause trouble, but let the Da Zhao family catch the fault of the second room.
Tu's request to Chu Weilin was very simple, close the door of Ji Jinyuan and live.
Chu Weilin really had no intention of interfering in the sword discussion between the Tu clan and the Da Zhao clan, she didn't want to be the vanguard, nor did she want to offer advice, but she and Chang Yuyun had different purposes, they must not let the Chang family call the Zhao family involved and wipe out the clan together.
After adjusting the position of the pillow behind her, Chu Weilin sat up a little straighter, which sentence just now caused Tu's attitude to change greatly? (To be continued......)
