Chapter 11: The Concubine
Happy weekend book friends!
-------------------------
Seeing this, Chu Weilin couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
It's not easy to be a concubine.
The Huang family gave birth to their uncles Chu Weilang and Chu Weiwan, and they also brought Chu Weiying born to Aunt Han and Chu Weihu born to Aunt Xu, and the two aunts also gave birth to a son, Chu Weiyu in line 4 and Chu Weiyue in line 6, but unfortunately they didn't support them.
In the past, Chu Weilin couldn't tell the story clearly, but judging from the spicy methods of the Huang family in her previous life, she believed that the two younger brothers died at the hands of the Huang family, and she could let the concubines survive, but she would not let the concubines grow up.
Under the nose of Mrs. Wen, who is a model for her wife, the Huang family can cover up so many dark things, I have to say that she is very capable.
And the concubine who grows up day by day naturally has to look at the Huang family's eyes, compared to Chu Weihu, who can plan everything, Chu Weiying was raised by Aunt Han to be honest, and she has always been obedient to the Huang family, and she also wants to please the Huang family more.
After all, Chu Weiying is fourteen years old, and he will be in time for the spring of next year.
Chu Weiying was absent-minded, Chu Weiwan asked Chu Weilin in his ear: "How can it be so good that you can't see it?" ”
"I really don't know." Chu Weilin frowned slightly, she also wanted to understand the reason, but she couldn't inquire, and when she raised her eyes and saw Chu Weiwan's eyes drooping thoughtfully, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and she also attached her ears, "Third sister has a clue?" ”
Asked by Chu Weilin, Chu Weiwan looked embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and then replied: "I heard the elders mention in the old capital that the third uncle and grandfather once had a noble concubine, whose maiden name was Gui, and she liked flowers and plants, and I don't know the rest, and it's hard to say whether the two are related." ”
A concubine surnamed Gui?
Chu Weilin was puzzled in her heart, such a person had never been mentioned in Yishun Hall.
There are indeed concubines around the third old lady, and Chu Weilin only knows Aunt Xia, who gave birth to the fifth old lady, and I heard that there are two other people who follow the third old lady in office, and I have never heard of it again.
Noble concubines are different from concubines, there is no reason and no information.
Regardless of whether this noble concubine had anything to do with Old Lady Zhang's sudden change or not, Chu Weilin kept this information in her heart.
Some people say that the more you know, the more dangerous it is, but the experience of the previous life tells us that having enough information and knowing enough inside stories is the necessary guarantee to survive in this mansion.
has no handle, no hole cards, what does she use to negotiate conditions with others, fight for life and death?
Not long after Chu Weiwan returned to Beijing, he didn't have a few girlfriends, but there were many sisters in the Chu family, and a few aunts who were married in Beijing brought the girls back to the door, and the scene was also lively.
and the ceremony was placed in the Reflecting Moon Pavilion of the long room.
According to the hour, the sisters went to Yingyue Pavilion first, leaving Chu Weiwan to make final preparations.
Stepping into the Yingyue Pavilion, just about to sit down, there was movement outside, Chu Weiying took a look, and quickly got up: "The old lady is here." ”
Chu Weilin also stood still, and waited for the old lady to help the maids and wives come in, and saluted and greeted.
Smell the old lady's sideburns have been silver-white, combed neatly and spiritually, pine blue forehead, a jade in the middle is transparent, with a Chu color cover, each wishful buckle has a jade echo, more and more rich.
smiled and nodded with the juniors, and commented on the girls' clothes with Chu Lunxin, who came back to the door.
"Girls of this age are like flowers, and they look good in anything." Chu Lunxin smiled, glanced at a few girls in the third room, and said, "They all say that the girls in our family are dressed up decently, and these girls really gave me a long face at my mother-in-law's birthday banquet that day." ”
The old lady laughed and patted Chu Lunxin's hand: "Look at you." ”
Mother Li bent down and said with a smile: "Old lady, you don't know, just now Xia Shuren couldn't stop praising her, and gave the sixth girl a bracelet as a meeting gift." ”
Hearing this, the old lady raised her eyes to look at Chu Weilin, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she was full of smiles: "Very good!" ”
Chu Weilin was not in a mess, and got up and replied: "Uncle and grandmother, grandmother said that although the Chang family is my aunt's in-law and relatives, I can't lose my manners. Wei Lin was not meticulous enough, but fortunately, the fifth sister and the eighth sister took care of her, so she did not lose the face of the Chu family. To be decent, it really can't compare to the third sister, and the lady also praises the third sister through us. ”
Mrs. Wen didn't expect Chu Weilin to say this, she looked her up and down, and sighed softly for a long time: "The girls in our family have grown up. ”
In the second half of the sentence, Mrs. Wen didn't say it.
She's old.
At that moment, she seemed to go back to the way she used to be.
Mrs. Wen still remembers that when Chu Weilin was young, her speech and demeanor were like this, although there were still details to polish, she was already the style of a daughter of the family. The outstanding Chu Weilin was also the old lady Zhang boasted of in the concubine. I never thought that after an accident, Chu Weilin forgot a qiē rule, even if the Jiang family bothered to teach, it was still awkward.
Several times, when the old lady Wen saw Chu Weilin, she couldn't help but sigh that a good girl was broken.
Looking at it today, I really want to be impressed, maybe I can mention a little more, and I can become a proud daughter in the Chu clan.
Chu Lunxin was also shocked in her heart, she was friendly with the Jiang family before she left the cabinet, and the two of them were close, that is, after she got married and had children, every time she went back to her parents' house, she also had endless words with her sister-in-law.
To this day, Chu Lunxin still remembers the unspeakable worries and worries in the Jiang family when Chu Weilin changed, so she has been thinking about Chu Weilin's life after the Jiang family's death, but unfortunately there has been no progress over the years.
A few days ago, at Chang's house, Chu Lunxin was busy by himself, and he didn't carefully observe a few nieces, see you today, looking at Chu Weilin's words and demeanor, it was as if she had grown ten years old all of a sudden.
If he can really grow up and be sensible, the Jiang family will be able to look at it.
Thinking of this, Chu Lunxin's throat was sour, and he pinched the handkerchief with his fingers and gently wiped the tip of his nose, and then swallowed the cry.
"Wei Wan likes to be lively, and in the future, she will come over more often to join her, and they are all her own sisters." The second wife, Gu, smiled with a pair of Danfeng eyes, and said to Mrs. Wen, "Mother-in-law, did you say it?" ”
The old lady Wen bowed: "It should be like this." ”
When the time came, Chu Weiwan was waited by the maids and bowed.
The congratulatory gift given by Xia Shuren is a pair of cloisonné enamel bottles with rain plums, the bottle body is not large and exquisite, and it is also interesting to put on the table.
"It's really a coincidence, the third sister lives in the plum garden, and this bottle is listening to the rain plum, it's really ......" Grandma Su covered her lips and smiled.
Xia Shuren smiled, tilted her head slightly and asked Chu Weiwan, "I just heard your mother say that you like to play chess?" ”
