Chapter 10 I wish to see you once
"This is the daughter-in-law of my sister-in-law's family!" As soon as she appeared, a lady in red dress who was no more than twenty years old greeted her and took Cheng Yiyao's hand, "I'm your second aunt!" ”
This person is the current Hou Lady Ou Shi of the Hou Mansion, Cheng Yiyao let Ou Shi hold his hand and couldn't salute, so he bent his knees slightly and said: "Second uncle!" ”
"Come on, it's your third and fourth aunt!" Ou Shi pointed to the two ladies who had already greeted him and said with a smile.
"Third aunt! Fourth aunt! "The one wearing a green embroidered jacket on the left is the third lady of the Hou Mansion, and the one on the right wearing a green silk dark flower skirt is the fourth lady Qin.
"All of a sudden, Yao girl's head is so big, she really looks like your mother!" When the fourth lady Qin was still in the boudoir, she and Cui's were friends who talked about everything, and after becoming an aunt-in-law, the natural relationship was even better, which was enviable, and Cheng Yiyao's eyes couldn't help but turn red when she saw her.
Cheng Yiyao's mother Cui Shi is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Hou, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion and the second lady of the third room have been married, and the oldest of the cousins I saw here is the third lady Cui Zhizhen of the third room of the third room who has just been married, and the youngest is Cui Zhizhen, who is three years younger than her.
Since the death of the eldest lady in her previous life, she has eaten the Buddha in her maple dyeing courtyard, and after her daughter got married, she went out less often, at this time Cheng Yiyao naturally failed to see her, as for the old lady, she has not been out of Shou'an Hall since the death of her mother Cui.
When the Hou Ye was still there, the Hou Mansion naturally did not divide the family, and later a series of changes occurred, and the Hou Mansion has not been able to separate the family so far.
The Yongqing Marquis Mansion is not really as calm as it seems, if there was no accident, the Hou Ye should have been the eldest master Cui Jinzhong, the old Marquis and the prince both died, at that time, the only son-in-law of the prince was only two years old, and there were no children in the concubine, so naturally there was no way to attack the lord, and the current Hou Ye attacked the title.
Mrs. Yongqing Hou naturally hoped that her son could inherit her husband's title, but in her previous life, her son had a meritorious role in saving the car, and the Hou Ye always felt that he was just a temporary nephew in charge of the Hou Mansion, and in the end, the Hou Mansion still had to be handed over to him.
Therefore, the Marquis of Yongqing has not agreed to divide the family, and the old lady is still there, and there are only orphans and widows left in the big house, although Mrs. Yongqing Marquis is eager to divide the big house out of the Hou Mansion as soon as possible, and not to come to rob her son of the title, but she can't say anything, so Mrs. Yongqing Hou and the Hou Ye are also inseparable.
"Second aunt, can I go see my grandmother?" After greeting for a while, Cheng Yiyao looked at Mrs. Yongqinghou and said it hesitantly.
"This ......" Ou Shi looked at Cheng Yiyao with some embarrassment, "It's not that your second aunt won't let you go, but your grandmother...... She's feeling unwell! ”
Cheng Yiyao naturally knew that her grandmother hadn't decided whether to see her or not, and she didn't break Ou's words, and her face was full of worry: "Is my grandmother sick?" I don't even know that I'm a granddaughter, it's really unfilial! ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just a cold!" European dark breathe a sigh of relief.
But I didn't want Cheng Yiyao to continue: "Then Yao'er has to go and see it even more, my grandmother is sick and I don't go to see it, so I shouldn't have it!" ”
"This, this ......" Ou Shi looked at Li and Qin for help, and saw that both of them cast helpless looks, who let her say that the old lady was sick.
But it's really hard to say, the old lady doesn't want to see this granddaughter yet, but the granddaughter is in the house, what excuse can she not see her grandmother, this old lady really gave Ou Shi a problem.
"Second aunt, Yao'er will go outside her grandmother's house to talk to her grandmother for a while, if your grandmother is afraid of being sick and gives Yao'er a little bit of illness and doesn't let Yao'er in, Yao'er will be obedient!" Cheng Yiyao looked at Ou Shi with a look of hope.
At this time, how could Ou Shi not know that this niece already knew that the old lady didn't want to see her, and it was not good to say anything, so it was good for her to go over and persuade the old lady herself.
"Then I'll take you there!" Ou Shi asked the Li family and the Qin family to go back first, if there were too many people, the old lady would not be able to make a face, and the matter would be more difficult to do.
Only took a few maids and women and took Cheng Yiyao to the old lady's Shou'an Hall, Shou'an Hall is located in the northeast corner of the Hou Mansion, the old lady doesn't want to be disturbed, and she doesn't want to go out, this is not a clean place.
Originally, this Shou'an Hall was called Qingchun Garden, here is the old marquis and the old lady to hide the clean place, its internal environment is quiet and elegant, it took a lot of effort to build this appearance, several Hou Mansion lords and aunts and grandmothers were also very happy to play at this time when they were young, but now this has become the old lady's courtyard, and few people go in and out.
When I stepped into the yard, I felt an indescribable dull and depressing, without a sound, even if it was beautiful, it was less angry.
Bypass a section of pavilions and water pavilions, connected is a short hand-copying verandah, at the end is a hanging flower door, after the hanging flower door, you can already see the inner courtyard.
The two mothers-in-law who were cleaning saw Ou Shi coming over with a six or seven-year-old little girl, and couldn't help but be curious, but they didn't say anything, just did the blessing and then began to do their own work, without asking anything, without a general gift, without Dao'an, Ou Shi didn't seem to care, slightly bowed, left a group of maids and servants in the courtyard, and took Cheng Yiyao into the main room alone.
"Madame!" When I entered the outer room, there was a plain woman about sixty years old waiting on the side, and I saw Cheng Yiyao pause slightly, "The old lady asked the slave maid to tell the lady and Miss Cousin, please go back!" ”
Cheng Yiyao pursed her lips tightly and didn't know what she was thinking, Ou Shi looked down at her, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed when she didn't react, so she pinched it gently.
Cheng Yiyao came back to her senses from her thoughts and said softly: "Yao'er, can you say a few words to your grandmother alone!" Then he made a blessing to the old woman.
The old woman turned sideways and avoided it, "Miss Cousin is polite, the old slave will talk to the old lady!" ”
As he spoke, he lifted the lotus and entered the inner room, and after a while, he turned around and came out, "Miss Biao has something to say here, the old lady can hear it." ”
"Thank you, Mama!" Cheng Yiyao bowed and thanked him.
Seeing that the grandmother had already gotten up and walked out, Ou Shi also said: "Then I'll go back first, Yao'er is staying at Grandmother's place, if you want to leave, just follow Mama Chen outside!" ”
When Ou Shi went out, the grandmother closed the door, the light dimmed suddenly, and the surroundings became quiet, only a faint smell of medicine was smelled, and it seemed that the old lady was not in good health.
"Yao'er has always wanted to come to see her grandmother, but her mother is gone, Yao'er is still too young to go out alone, and she has never had the opportunity, so she thought about begging her father to bring me over, Yao'er knew that her father sometimes went to her grandmother's for lunch, so she ran to her grandmother's at noon.
Yao'er is very smart, my father has to go to my grandfather's place this year, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, and when my father comes back, Yao'er will beg my father to bring me over. Cheng Yiyao didn't know what the old lady inside looked like or what kind of temperament she had, but she just said without a match, breaking the silence of this room.
"But thanks to her grandmother, Yao'er was still thinking about how to ask her father, and her grandmother said it for Yao'er, grandmother and Yao'er have a heart, do you say it!
Some people say that you have a disagreement with your grandmother, and it is really a lie! ”
Cheng Yiyao looked at the gently swaying bead curtain in front of her, but she never saw anyone coming out inside, and couldn't help but be disappointed, I don't know if she said something wrong, so she could only continue: "Yao'er's illness is cured, I originally thought that I would finally be able to see my grandmother, but my grandmother is sick again."
My grandmother also has to take medicine obediently like Yao'er, although the medicine is very bitter, but Yao'er has to take medicine obediently, so that the disease will be cured, and my grandmother must also take medicine obediently, so that she can get better, and it is very uncomfortable to be sick.
My grandmother didn't speak, was she tired? ”
Cheng Yiyao said this, naturally, hoping that the old lady could see herself, if nothing else, to make up for the regret that she had not seen in her previous life.
