Chapter 43: Befriending
The next night, Chen Wenhui finished her busy work and returned to her yard, Qiu Bi had already prepared things, Chen Wenhui remembered and asked, "What did they say when you sent things over yesterday?" ”
Qiu Bi said: "The second lady was very happy, and treated the two girls very kindly, and gave them many things, including treasures, silk, and powder. The third girl also treated the two sisters abnormally, very affectionately, and gave them a lot of jewelry, which was very precious. In addition, the eldest lady also sent some things. The eldest grandmother also sent something over. Not to mention, Princess Jin also sent someone to send a gift. They give away either silk or treasures and jewelry. The old lady also sent a lot of silk and silk. I took the things to the two girls, and both of them were very happy, and the aunt Sun smiled without an eyebrow. I heard that the day after tomorrow, the palace will send the grandmother over to teach the girls for a month, and this month, the girls will stay alone with the grandmother in a courtyard, and they will not see their relatives. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "That's good, did you inquire about the situation again today?" ”
Qiu Bi said: "There are not many people who go to the two girls to congratulate today, and the girls are going at this time." ”
Chen Wenhui changed a set of clothes, let the maids hold their things, and went to the Quhe Courtyard in the second room.
When she arrived at Quhe Courtyard, Chen Wenhui went straight to Wenhua, Wenjuan's residence, and ignored the second lady. The second lady was so angry that her hands were shaking in the room.
The second lady said to Aunt Li, who was waiting by her side, "Hmph, Aunt Sun, this slut, has her tail going to the sky for the past two days." This one and two went directly to her two daughters. Where else to pay attention to us. One of us is a lady in the main room, and the other has given birth to a son, but it is not as good as an aunt grand. ”
Aunt Li said yes deferentially on the surface, but in her heart, she thought that this time she knew that I was the biological mother of the fourth young master. These five young masters have been married for a few years, and the fourth young master is two months older than the fifth young master, but he didn't see the second lady marrying the fourth young master. The four girls and the fifth girl have all reached the age of marriage, but the second lady is not in a hurry to give Zhang Luo. Now it's okay, both girls are because of her delay. had the opportunity to enter the palace and become a mother, she was unhappy again, and she disliked others for climbing high branches. It's hard to serve. It was a good thing for these two girls to be delayed by her. entered the palace, but the young master he gave birth to was repeatedly delayed, what should I do?
Thinking of this, Aunt Li said: "Aunt Sun saw that her power has grown, and now she doesn't put the slave maid in her eyes, forget it, yesterday, Madame, you rewarded her daughter with something, I didn't look at her properly, as if she disliked Mrs. and slowed down." It's really nobody's in sight. ’
When the second lady heard this, she was even more angry and said, "Hmph, didn't you see me?" I lifted them up and gave them so many things. She also gave me some precious agate, jade ornaments, and some precious beeswax ornaments from my mother's house. What do they look like? Hmph, I don't know gratitude at all, as if we should stutter. ”
Aunt Li then scolded Aunt Sun and said, "According to me, Mrs. should give the two of them another grace, which is stronger than those jewels and jades, and can also put an end to Aunt Sun's arrogance." ”
The second lady said curiously: "What grace? ”
Aunt Li said: "Since they can enter the palace to be mothers, it is also the glory of our second room, in the future." The fourth young master and the third girl have to get their support, so it's best to keep them in the name of the lady, and they are naturally brothers and sisters, isn't it better? ”
When the second lady heard this, she was happy: "Aunt Li." You have a good idea, so let's do it. When the master comes back, I will go and talk to him, and then go and tell my aunt to go. I'm sure my aunt will agree. In this way, that Aunt Sun has nothing to be angry about. By the way, these two nobles will have to learn etiquette at home for a month. And the grandmother in the palace is coming over tomorrow, how can she still live in Aunt Yi's back room. It just so happens that we have an apricot blossom in Quhe Courtyard. It has always been very clean, gorgeous, and it is about to be spring, and when the apricot blossoms bloom, it is also the time when the nobles enter the palace, which is a good omen, so let them move to Xinghua Wu, the place is big and clean, this is the treatment that the concubine has, Aunt Li, do you say? ”
Aunt Li hurriedly praised and said: "Since the two nobles are going to live in Xinghuawu, should you let the fourth young master go to live in the outer wing, after all, although he is a brother, he does not have a daughter-in-law, so it is not good to live here." ”
The second lady nodded and said: "What you said, I remembered, I should hurry up and let Wen Hao marry a daughter-in-law, so that if our family has something in the future, we can let Wen Hao's daughter-in-law go into the palace to find two nobles." Having something at home can also help with hospitality. For example, this time the happy event of the two of them came, and many people came to congratulate them, but I was the only one who was busy, so I could only let Aunt Sun help entertain her, which increased Aunt Sun's arrogance in vain. ”
Aunt Li was overjoyed.
Here Wen Hui entered Wenhua, the small room where Wen Juan lived, only to see that it was troubled, on the ground, there were things everywhere, and a few maids were still busy locating.
As soon as Wen Hui came, Wen Hua, Wen Juan and Aunt Sun warmly received it, and asked them to sit on the kang in the inner room, Aunt Sun said: "Sixth girl, thank you for sending a congratulatory gift yesterday, it is really heartfelt, and it is so precious, and you have to make clothes for us, thank you so much." ”
Wenhua said: "Sixth sister, our sister was originally an unpopular concubine in the house. Although she was born in a big family, her mother is powerful and her sister is ruthless, and our sisters' lives are very difficult. Just look at this cramped dwelling. From childhood to adulthood, our sisters were just a little better than the maids in the house, giving clothes and jewelry every month, but there was no superfluity. Although it is better than a small family, where does it look like a girl from a family? My grandmother didn't know how many clothes she made for her sister a year, and there were a lot of clothes, and my sister didn't even wear them yet, so she didn't like them, so she gave them to the maid directly, but our sisters only had the few sets of clothes that were sent out in a year in the middle school. Not to mention, we have reached the age when we should get married, but our grandmother has not set us up for a long time, and we are about to waste our time. It was my sister who gave us the opportunity to give us gorgeous clothes and decorations, so that we could be revealed in front of the king at the Lantern Festival banquet, and we were supported by my aunt to enter the palace. It's too late for our sister to thank her, and my sister also asked people to send brocade jewelry, which are all precious things, I really don't know how to thank you? ”
Wen Hui saw the affection that Wen Hua said, so she smiled and said: "We are our own sisters, what do we do to say this, it's just a few sets of clothes, a few pieces of jewelry, you can enter the palace, you should have this wealth in your life, what does it matter to me?" It's just that I'm here today not to thank you, but for the sake of my good sisters, I want to say a few words to you. ”
Wen Hua hurriedly said to Aunt Sun: "Auntie, our sisters are talking to our sister here, Auntie should take the maids to clean up quickly, the front hall is messy, it doesn't look like the same thing." ”
Aunt Sun understood, and hurriedly took the maids to clean up her things in the front hall.
As soon as Aunt Sun left, Wen Hua hurriedly took Wen Hui's hand and said, "I know that my sister is the smartest person, and she must have something important to say to our sister." We sisters listen to you, please speak. ”
Wen Hui looked at Wen Hua, and Wen Juan said: "My sisters were once glorious and were able to enter the palace and become nobles, which is a fortunate thing, but it is also a difficult thing. The palace has always been the most difficult road, and this road is not easy to walk. ”
Wen Hua hurriedly said: "From the will, we will congratulate the guests, although our sisters are happy, our hearts are also panting." Other people's families don't understand, but our family is now in the palace, so we naturally understand. The eldest aunt is beautiful, has outstanding ability, and has been suffering in the palace for many years, and it is only in recent years that she has been able to rise to a high position, but the prince can no longer have it after all. Our sisters are just concubines, since childhood, our mother-in-law did not give us a good upbringing, we went to the palace, we don't know what the future is, this heart is up and down, that is, my sister is not coming today, our sisters are also going to ask our sister for advice. ”
Wen Hui was very surprised, she didn't expect that these two cousins were still brainy, at least much stronger than the rude and willful third cousin Wen Jin. This is a talent that can be created, and maybe it will be useful in the future.
said: "The sisters are prepared for danger in times of peace, which is admirable." I'm just afraid that my sisters will be confused by the rich scene in front of me and forget the hardships and dangers ahead. Since my sisters have asked me, I have a few words for my sisters, one is to remember where you are. You and I are both members of the Chen family, there is an aunt in the palace, if you are favored, you must also remember that you must stand on the same front with the aunt, if there is no aunt to protect you, you are really in danger. ”
Wen Hua and Wen Jin nodded hurriedly.
Wen Hui continued: "Second, you rely on your youth and beauty, and you can be favored by the emperor in brocade clothes, so you don't have to think about cultivating virtue, just let the eldest aunt do the things of virtue, you just try to dress up beautifully." So, don't skimp on things, make a few more beautiful costumes to wear. Therefore, I asked you to find the needlework people in Cuijin Building and make a few sets of good clothes. ”
Wen Hua and Wen Juan hurriedly thanked them.
Wen Hui said: "This third point is on the gift I brought to you today. ”
Wenhua asked strangely: "Yesterday, my sister has already sent someone to give a gift, why do you still have a gift today?" ”
Wen Hui smiled and shouted loudly: "Qiu Bi, bring it in." ”
Qiu Bi took the four clips of things in, displayed them on the kang one by one, and as soon as she opened them, the room was suddenly filled with golden light.
Wen Hua and Wen Juan looked at each other.
