Chapter 13 The old clam holds pearls

In the early morning, Taizhou City is a little quiet, the passers-by on the street are in a hurry, I don't know where to go, the shops on both sides of the street have also begun to open one after another, and the guys are running diligently before and after, so lively. There are many shops here, and the number of business projects is enough to dazzle people, restaurants, inns, gold, silver and jade shops are countless, and all kinds of signboards are hung all over the three horizontal and vertical streets. Here are the business circles of Taizhou, because the streets are horizontal three streets, vertical three streets like intersection, each horizontal street and vertical street will form a crossroads, so Taizhou people call these three streets three cross streets.

Qinfu falls in a more secluded place in these three cross streets, although it is only about 100 steps away from the main street, but you can still feel the lively atmosphere on the street, occasionally people pass by in front of the house, see the high walls and deep courtyards of Qinfu, the style is extraordinary, they dare not stop, for fear of causing some trouble.

In this way, in the house that ordinary people envy, there are indispensable beautiful ladies and ladies, and what is indispensable is gorgeous clothes and delicacies, and people passing by are all secretly envious, but they don't know that the life in the house is actually not easy, and the intrigue of the inner house is an unknown situation.

Fang Wanru sat in front of the bronze mirror with her eyes closed, and behind her stood a clever daughter-in-law, who was grooming her. The man of this daughter-in-law was also on an errand in the house, and because he combed his hair well, he was called to wait for the eldest wife.

I saw that she picked up the horn comb and dipped it in some osmanthus head oil, took care of the hair in her hands flexibly with her fingers, combed a beautiful high bun in a few strokes, and then took out a set of emerald heads in the makeup box, helped to put them on one by one, and found a pair of red pendant earrings carefully through the ear piercing, then took a step back and said in a regular manner: "Madam, comb it." ”

Fang Wanru opened her eyes at this time, and looked at the bronze mirror again and again, "Qing Shujia's craftsmanship is really getting better and better, dressed up like this, I look a few years younger!" ”

Qingshui's daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "How can I afford this praise from Mrs., this is my duty, Mrs. is young and has good skin, many little girls can't catch up!" Qing Shujia tried to make himself forget the white hair he had just seen, and his tone was very sincere, sounding very believable.

Who doesn't like to listen to such flattering words, not to mention that Fang Wanru is just a layman.

"One can talk more than the other, and you know how to make me happy." Fang Wanru is a smart person, where can she not tell the truth from falsehood, but she is just a woman after all, if she is a woman, she will care about her appearance, and she will like to be praised by others. At this time, there was no need to think much about the truth of the words, the most important thing was that she heard what she wanted to hear.

Qingshou's daughter-in-law was naturally flattered, which made Fang Wanru laugh for a while, and rewarded Qingshou's daughter-in-law with a silver bracelet.

The little girl opened the curtain, but it was the big girl Begonia who came.

"Madam, a few aunts have been waiting for a while, but are they still setting the table for dinner?" This kind of drama has to be staged several times a day, and she knows that these women are in the way of the lady's eyes, but she can't help it.

Fang Wanru thought of these aunts in the house, and her chest unconsciously tightened, "Put it in the outer room, I've seen a few debts in use." ”

Haitang agreed, helped Fang Wanru to go to the second room.

The six aunts stood in two rows in the hall of the second room, looking like a group of flowers, with different colors of clothes on their bodies, jewelry and jewelry, which made Fang Wanru's eyes dazzled.

As soon as she sat down on the Luohan couch, the aunts gave her a salute according to the rules, and Fang Wanru ordered someone to move a three-legged wooden stool for everyone to sit on.

It is said that three women play one play, but there are two plays sitting below.

"Madame's pair of red pendants are really beautiful, this color is red and translucent, it must be a treasure." Aunt Li is the youngest of several aunts, although she looks average, after all, she is young, and she has the skin of a snow race, which looks a little beautiful. This Aunt Li is a distant relative of the Fang family, and she just gave birth to a brother the year before last, and it is the time to be favored.

"When I entered the door a few years ago, my mother rewarded me." Fang Wanru obviously didn't want to discuss more on this topic, so she responded lightly to her words. This Li family is a distant relative of the Qin family, and he looks like an obedient person, but he is not a peaceful lord behind his back. In front of people, she always looks like Fang Wanru is looking at the horse, and she does not do small things, but Fang Wanru just thinks that she is restless, even if her child is only three years old, but after all, she is also a brother!

Li smiled, obviously not caring: "No wonder, the things in Mrs. Tai's place are all high-quality, where have we ordinary people seen it, and only with the identity of Mrs. does it look precious when she wears it." ”

Wang, who was sitting next to Li, snorted coldly in his heart, and scolded Li from head to toe in his heart. But there was a calm look on her face, as if the people outside had nothing to do with her, just lowered her head and looked at the tips of her shoes, without saying a word.

Then the Qi family and the Zhao family each said a few innocuous words, and they were all tepidly replied by Fang Wanru.

"Zixin has made great progress recently, and even the master in the school said that he is diligent and studious, and you should go to see more on weekdays, and you should be dedicated to your heart." The aunt who can make Fang Wanru look at her differently and treat her with special treatment, except for Aunt Feng, the second young master Qin Zixin's mother, there is no second person. This woman was originally Fang Wanru's dowry girl, and later gave Master Qin a room, and after she became pregnant, she was raised as an aunt. Maybe it's because of the difference in the affection of serving for many years, in the end, her mother's family came over, so Fang Wanru is different to Aunt Feng.

Sure enough, the woman in the lake-colored gown stood up and hurriedly said, "The slave knows." After saying that, as if remembering something, he changed his words: "I know, thank you madame." ”

Aunt Li, who saw a qiē in her eyes, was unwilling, and it was inevitable that there would be three points of difficulty on her face, and she also gave birth to a son to the Qin family, why did she fall into the eyes of her wife? She was just a girl, and she was still a distant relative of the Fang family, so she didn't see how to entertain her.

Fang Wanru saw Li's small movements in her eyes, but she didn't think so, she directly ignored the indignant Li, and turned her eyes on the other two women who didn't say a word, one was Wang, who disdained Li just now; The other is Miss San's biological mother, Su Shi.

A glamorous and cheesy, but the old man brought it back when he was drunk, if it wasn't for her big belly, how could she be able to enter the door of the Qin family?

A demure and gentle, knowledgeable and reasonable, it is no wonder that the old man has always tied his heart to her, but it is a pity that he is a person who loves cold faces, and gave birth to such a stupid daughter, and he can't ask for any benefit.

It's just that if you do that, can you really marry Qianxin to the Jia family? Fang Wanru had something on her mind, and she didn't bother to deal with a few women with different thoughts, so she served tea and sent off guests.

Several aunts were all interested, and hurriedly got up to salute, but at this moment, Su Shi suddenly became unstable and fell straight down.

Everyone was shocked, Fang Wanru hurriedly called Haitang to ask for a doctor, and found a few powerful mothers-in-law, and helped her to a rest room next door to lie down, and the other aunts didn't have time to see the excitement, so they let her send it away, and let everyone go back to their own yards, so as not to add to the chaos, even if this is the case, there are still a few people who want to see the excitement, leaving their henchmen in the courtyard, and inquiring about the inside story of Su's fainting.

The two girls who came with Su also got the letter, and hurriedly rushed to the rest room to serve, although they were worried, they couldn't help much, until the doctor came, and they settled down a little.

Fang Wanru was very bored, but because of her identity as the head of the family, she had to take care of it, she was really afraid of something, recently because of the Jia family's proposal, there was a lot of chaos in the house, at this time, I don't know how many people are waiting to see her and the Su family's competition, but at this time she fell in her own yard, and I don't know if it was intentional.

Fang Wanru, who was just waiting for news in the second room, never thought that it would be such a result anyway. She thought that Xu was angry because the third lady was sent to the countryside, or it was simply deliberate, and she only asked the doctor to prescribe a few patches of medicine. But she never thought that it would be the result she heard now.

"Are you sure?" Fang Wanru only felt that her hands kept shaking, and she could barely hold the teacup.

"What did Madame say, the old man has been practicing medicine for decades, can he be wrong even for the simplest slippery pulse?" The old doctor was a little unhappy, and he was questioning his ability at all.

Fang Wanru only felt that her chest was even tighter, and she almost gritted her teeth and said to Haitang: "Send the doctor, see the reward." In addition, when I went to report to Mrs. Tai, I said that Aunt Su was happy with Lao Beng's Huaizhu. ”

The last three words were almost squeezed out of the teeth, and Haitang was excited when he heard it, and hurriedly found someone to send the doctor, and he went to Mrs. Tai's yard.

Su Yilan touched her abdomen, which was not yet pregnant, and felt a sigh in her heart. Since she woke up and learned the news of her pregnancy, she has always felt that this unformed child is a lucky star, and when she was so isolated, when Sister Xin decided to live for life, he appeared.

If it's a son......

In any case, she wants to protect this child, and at the same time keep her sister's happiness, even if she doesn't recognize herself, it doesn't matter.

was thinking about it, but saw that Mrs. Wan's mother, who was the most powerful beside Mrs. Tai, was waiting for the girls to come in.

She was just about to get up, but was pulled by Mother Wan, "At this time, it's not smaller than usual, but I don't dare to move." As soon as the words fell, the curtain was lifted again, and a middle-aged man with a short beard came in, wearing a scarf, a cyan brocade robe, a brocade belt with white jade moire on his waist, and a pair of thick-soled boots on his feet.

This person is the lord of the Qin Mansion, Qin Daixin's cheap father Qin Congwen.
