Chapter Seventy-One: Suspicion

Cui Wanqing felt that something was wrong, and blurted out a question: "Aunt Jiang used to be the maid of the third uncle?" ”

Aunt Jiang was awakened by her inquiry, and the look in her eyes quickly disappeared, and she replied respectfully: "The concubine is the personal maid of the third lady, and later the master gave the concubine to the third master before leaving, so that the concubine can have a place to stay." ”

"The third lady's personal big girl? Isn't that Cao Yunxiu, that is, her mother's personal maid? This grace before leaving, is it talking about before marriage? Or before death? If it was before getting married, it would be reasonable, but if it was before he died, it would be boring. Cui Wanqing heard her words, and her mind turned sharply.

Think about it, in addition to the third aunt, the third uncle of his family also has four concubines, and there will be no fewer maids in the room, but those who gave birth to heirs, in addition to Cao Xiu and Cao Tang, the children of the concubines, are the concubine Cao Xi, and the concubine Cao Duo.

In such a big family, the heirs are really not vigorous, and Aunt Xiu, who gave birth to the sixth son, is the dowry maid of the third uncle, that is, the daughter of her grandmother.

I heard that the third aunt is small in her mother's family, and her mother is patriarchal, so she was taken care of by the grandmother, and the relationship between the two is deep, and it is not surprising that the daughter of the grandmother can give birth to a concubine.

And the Aunt Jiang in front of her, why did she give birth to a daughter when the remaining aunts had no heirs?

The tricks of the housewife in the back house to clean up her aunt, Cui Wan cleared the door, and she herself also introduced the old and brought out the new, and rectified many new tricks.

And this makes it the most basic trick to prevent my aunt from getting pregnant, just looking at the third uncle and other aunts have never had a man and a half girl, Cui Wanqing can't help but feel extremely curious about how Aunt Jiang can make the housemother raise her noble hand to her.

Especially this close-fitting big girl who is still a mother, and Cao San and his wife, there is no special relationship, she must have some big tricks, so that some people look at her differently, so that her life can be turned upside down.

"I've heard my grandmother say that the big girls around my mother are all married to the Cui family, and they live quite peacefully in the Grange, but I really don't know that someone has returned to the Hou Mansion and has become half a master." Cui Wanqing blinked her eyes and said something seemingly casually.

I saw that Aunt Jiang's face turned red when she heard the words, and everyone trembled a little, and she bent her knees and made an unseemly blessing, "Concubine Jiang will go to the small kitchen first, and I will let the maid send honey and peanuts to the two young ladies in a while." ”

After that, without waiting for Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang to speak, he hurriedly walked away.

"Walking over there will only get farther and farther away from the kitchen." Cao Tang said lightly, and the two sisters looked at each other invariably, and they both saw deep hesitation in each other's eyes.

Cui Wanqing was just a tentative word, which could make her so unbreathable, looking at it like this, Aunt Jiang returned to the Ming'an Hou Mansion after Cao Yunxiu passed and became an aunt to Cao Sanye.

This is a maid who has already been married, and she can return to the master's house again, this is really rare, Cui Wanqing thought in her heart, she will definitely ask Fang's mother when she goes back in a while, what is the origin of this Aunt Jiang.

Cao Tang saw his cousin's thoughtful look, and took the lead in saying: "If Aunt Jiang hadn't said it herself, I really wouldn't have known that she was the maid of the third aunt, I just heard my father say that unintentionally, Cousin Qing, you say something from your heart, seeing her doing this, did you think of something?" ”

"There's a ghost in my heart!" Cao Tang took Cui Wanqing's shortcut, and the shadows of the people who followed him were gone.

If she hadn't run around, the two of them wouldn't have met Aunt Jiang.

Knowing that there were no eyes and ears around her, Cui Wanqing somehow said what was in her heart to Cao Tang.

Cao Tang was really stunned by her rare crispness and neatness.

But soon came back to his senses, pulled Cui Wanqing and whispered: "My father and mother love me very much, I am pampered on weekdays, and my sister's temper is indeed not good, but I have a fate with my sister, you can rest assured, I will quietly help you pay attention to her in the future, as long as she has done something wrong, no matter how deep she hides, I will also help my sister dig it out." ”

"Don't!" Cui Wanqing blurted out the words of refusal, and said it crunchyly, but soon realized that it was wrong.

Hurriedly explained patiently to Cao Tang, who was wide-eyed: "The manpower around you is carefully arranged by the third aunt, but whenever there is a movement, you can't hide it from her, I don't want to disturb her peace for a nothing, forget it, I'll think of another way." ”

Cao Tang's expression softened a lot when he heard this, "Hey, what did I say to you, don't you know that Mother Yuan and they are all mother's eyeliner?" All day long, I will tell my mother to know, it is simply a matter of detail. ”

"It's okay when I was a child, but as I get older, my sister really feels more and more uncomfortable, even if it's my own mother who is spying on me, I feel uncomfortable."

"So my sister has long been focused on others, don't worry, my sister has other credible people, and the security will not spoil your affairs."

Looking at Cui Wanqing's helpless look, she stomped her foot violently: "I promise not to let my mother know, I swear!" Okay? She is a character who does what she says, and before the words landed, she raised her right hand and wanted to put it into action!

Cui Wanqing stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and said angrily, "What are you doing?" I definitely believe you, don't do these nameless things, you need to know that there are gods three feet up, and this poisonous oath can't be issued indiscriminately. ”

Cui Wanqing believed in Buddhism in her previous life, and often went to the temple to listen to Master Ran's lectures, but not because she believed in Buddhism, but felt that every time she listened to the lectures or copied the scriptures by herself, she could get a rare peace.

This feeling made Cui Wanqing very obsessed, but with her rebirth this time, and seeing that her original body was occupied by other souls, she really believes in Buddhism now, where do you dare to let Cao Tang swear nonsense?

Cao Tang was amused by her seriousness, and laughed, smiled and took Cui Wanqing's arm and went to Qiuwu Pavilion.

While walking, she whispered that she had prepared some interesting objects for Cui Wanqing.

The sisters drifted apart, and neither of them looked back, but they didn't know that behind them, there was a light yellow skirt that flashed quietly, but soon disappeared again in the woods.

In the study of Ming Anhou in the outer courtyard, the atmosphere between the two Hou brothers is really not so harmonious.

"Say, 'What heart are you at ease?' Are you still my big brother? actually carried me behind my back and let Yun'er and Qing Yatou meet in private! ”

"At the beginning, the two of us said that it was fair and just, we will never interfere, just look at the wishes of the children, if the girl wants, we will fulfill whom, you regret it now!"

"Anyway, if you don't tell me the reason today, my brother and I won't leave!" Master Cao San was furious, standing in front of Ming Anhou, he was really full of posture, and he almost didn't slap the table and fall on the bench.

His face was even redder than just now, and he didn't know if it was because the wine was getting stronger or stronger, or because he was angry.

Compared with the tense appearance of Master Cao San, Ming Anhou is really light, "Sit down and talk, how old is you, or so frizzy?" Shouting such a loud voice, afraid that others will not know? Do you still think that your niece and daughter are not eye-catching enough in our house? ”

Cao Mu was speechless for a moment, but he really didn't dare to shout anymore, so he turned around and sat down beside his brother angrily.

"Take a sip of tea, just hit the new tea before the rain that was made outside, it tastes good, you taste it, if you drink it well, I will wrap half of it for you." Ming Anhou took a sip of tea elegantly, and then asked his younger brother to use tea with kind words.

In the face of such a kind person, no one's temper can last long, Cao Mu finally rolled his eyes, picked up the white porcelain doumei pastel tea cup on the table, skimmed the foam a few times with the lid of the cup, and took a sip.

After drinking tea, I heard Ming Anhou ask unhurriedly: "You want to ask Xiu'er to marry Qing'er, have you discussed it with your third brother and sister?" ”。

Cao Mu's hand for drinking tea paused, and he suddenly felt irritable in his heart, and he was impatient to drink tea, so he stretched out his hand and put the tea cup on the desk casually.

The nose is not the nose, and the eyes are not the eyes, and he said in a muffled voice: "This is all a matter that our old men have the final say, how can the mother-in-law's family intervene?" It's back to her! I'm just going to ask Xiu'er to marry a girl, what can she do? I didn't believe she could make a flower. ”

Seeing him like a scoundrel, Ming Anhou shook his head helplessly, and said to his younger brother in a serious tone: "The marriage of children has always been the order of parents, and the words of the matchmaker, in other words, parents have to plan the future for their children together, do you know why you want to do this?" ”

Cao Mu was stunned by the question, looked at his brother's deep eyes, first nodded, and then shook his head gently.

finally couldn't bear to pat the table and yelled: Good my eldest brother, dear brother! If you have something to say, just say it, don't let my brother guess, can it be done? “

"This is because parents must feel that their unmarried daughter-in-law, or future son-in-law, is the best candidate, agree with her from the bottom of their hearts, sincerely accept her, and want to become a family with her." Ming Anhou shook his hand comfortingly at his younger brother, and explained very carefully.

Looking at his younger brother's enlightened eyes, he continued to say: "Have you ever thought that if you don't ask for the consent of the third brother and sister, and insist on marrying Qing'er for Xiu'er, indeed, you and I agree, my mother is willing, and the third brother and sister can't say a word." ”

"But this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are already difficult, you also found a mother-in-law who is full of pickiness and entanglement for Qing'er, we are two big men, we are big men all day long, it is impossible to stay in the inner house all the time, even the mother-in-law, you can't protect Qing'er in your arms for twelve hours a day, right?"

"In the future, if there is no harmony between the third siblings and Qing'er, how difficult will it be for Xiu'er to be caught in the middle? How sad is Qing'er? So you said it yourself, are you doing this for the good of Qing'er and Xiu'er? Or is it to make life worse for both of them? ”R1152
