Chapter Twenty-Seven: Pondering Countermeasures I
Li's mother carried Fan Anlan back to the inner room, placed the person on the kang, and poured her a cup of tea to drink.
Even if there was Mother Zhou before, the three girls also relied on them the most, and they said to Mother Zhou that they would turn their faces, and they didn't give people a good face at all, but they didn't expect that as soon as this Mother Li came, she would be able to please the three girls.
Mother Li saw that Fan Anlan drank tea, and then explained the whole situation to Fan Anlan in a low voice. "What does the third girl think Madame sent Mother Zhou away for?"
"Why?" Isn't Zhou's mother another high level? Fan Anlan asked suspiciously.
"Originally, the slave maid shouldn't tell the three girls about the outside matter, so as not to disturb the love of the three girls, but I don't tell you about this matter, I'm afraid that you will misunderstand, and Mrs. has bad intentions, so I sent Zhou's mother away."
"It was meant to be, right?" Ruxue snorted.
"Look, your sisters think so, and it's only natural that you'll think crookedly. The old lady is the pillar of our family, the emperor was furious, and the old lady was left in the palace, now the situation is unknown, although the old man did not return to the house, but brought the letter back, let the lady close the door to thank the guests, this time is the time to be low-key, so as not to attract the attention of the emperor, Zhou's mother deliberately provoked trouble, the third girl thinks, if this matter is a big fuss, it will inevitably lead to the imperial history to impeach the old lady for not governing the family effectively, the girl think about it, if the old lady loses power because of these things, what will happen to our house?"
Fan Anlan blinked, she didn't quite understand what Mother Li said, but Ruxue and Ruxin understood, and Ruwan asked, "What does it have to do with Aunt Wan resigning to the Gu family for a banquet?"
"The old lady's situation is not clear now, but the concubine of the eldest family took her children to the house of the courtiers newly promoted by the emperor as guests?"
Ruxue bit her lip and understood why Aunt Zhou resigned to go to the banquet, but Fan Anlan thought that since she returned to Beijing, she hadn't been out a few times, and she had finally had the opportunity to go out before, Fan Anju caused an accident and affected herself, and since then, her mother-in-law has stopped going out, so naturally their sisters have no chance to go out.
"When will the emperor let the old lady go home?"
As soon as Fan Anlan's words fell, Li's mother was surprised, but the smile on her face was still there, "Third girl, the grace of heaven is unpredictable, this matter depends on the emperor's will." â
Fan Anlan pursed her lips and snorted unhappily, Mother Li glanced at Ruxue and them, and saw that Ruxue and they didn't move, so she stepped forward and said: "Third girl, although the grace of heaven is unpredictable, Aunt Zhou also turned down the invitation of the Gu family, but the New Year is approaching, I can't say that the emperor will let the old lady go back to the house as soon as he is happy, and then each family will have a lot of banquets, do you think you want the slave to take care of your clothes and jewelry first?"
Ruxue was in a hurry when she heard this, and was just about to open her mouth to stop it, when she heard Fan Anlan ask: "Reason?" What to do?"
"When the slave maid first went to inquire about the news with the sisters, I heard from them that because the eldest young master was going to go out after the spring season, the lady wanted the sewing room to help the young masters sew a few more clothes.
Fan Anlan may not be interested in the things on the side, but for the addition of new clothes, since the person who came did not refuse, listening to Li's mother say this, she asked Ruxue to hand over the key and the single book to Li's mother to take care of, Li's mother ordered Ruxin to help, this kind of errand is Ruxue alone, Ruxin They can't get involved, now there is this opportunity, Ruxin is overjoyed, Ruwan pouted and whispered complaining, Ruxue is anxious and there is nothing to do.
Mother Li took over Zhou's mother's errand, and after Mama Ding listened to the little maid's return, the corners of her mouth turned slightly up to return to Mrs. Fan.
Ruxue thought of the three girls' unsightly things, and felt that her scalp was numb, Li's mother was sent by her wife, but she didn't know what treasures were in the sixth girl's warehouse, Ruxue was so anxious that she wanted to go into Fan Anlan's inner room three times and twice, take out those treasures, and send them to Aunt Zhou.
Ruxin in the house followed Li's mother, first counted the clothes, took out a piece of winter clothes from the cabinet, and placed them on the big kang near the window, and a letter on the big round table in the center of the room, and even the bed was placed a lot, Li's mother looked at the exquisite embroidery on the winter clothes, and couldn't help but secretly say that Aunt Zhou really had enough money.
No matter how generous Mrs. Fan is, it is impossible to be generous to the concubine, the house is six sets of rules in a season, and the fabric is also a rule, if you want to be chic and outstanding, you have to embroider the maids in each room, Li's mother has heard that after Aunt Zhou married the maid Xu Ren, she opened an embroidery shop outside the house, and wanted to come to those novel embroidery samples from the embroidery shop.
After inspecting those winter clothes, Li's mother asked Nina to put away the clothes, and then took out the commonly used jewelry to count, Ruxue stood by the door and was so anxious that her eyes were red, and Ruwan was still talking next to her, which made her even more anxious.
Seeing that Li's mother was about to finish counting the commonly used jewelry, she couldn't find an excuse to go in, so she had to stomp her feet, slammed the curtain and turned out.
Fan Anlan sat in front of the mirror, counting her beloved jewelry, Li's mother praised a few words casually, helped her pull a few styles of buns, and then demonstrated how to match the jewelry, which made her overjoyed, and she couldn't wait to move out the first cloth she treasured in the warehouse to show Li's mother.
Fan Anju heard the little maids say that Mrs. gave Fan Anlan's housekeeper mother very good, so she came over to take a look, and saw that Li's mother was demonstrating what kind of hairstyle for Fan Anlan's jewelry and clothes, and couldn't help but show envy on her face, and Fan Anlan couldn't help but be proud when she saw it.
On the other side, Ruxue hurriedly went to find Aunt Zhou, and Aunt Zhou learned that her daughter was picked up by a housekeeper's mother, so angry that she threw the official kiln bean green tea cup in her hand towards Ruxue.
"Incompetence! What are you doing, the girl is still young and ignorant, don't you understand?"
"Auntie, it's not that the slave maid is not dedicated, it's really Na Li's mother who is amazing. She was sent by her wife, and she was the housekeeper of the yard, and the slave couldn't refute her. And the girl didn't support her. This point is the most chilling for Ruxue, Li's mother ordered Ruxin to help her, if the girl opened her mouth, she didn't say to replace Ruxin, but said that she was in charge, and asked her what she was.
But the girl let Li's mother call the shots, and in an instant, she relieved her of the errand of the big girl, and gave up the power to Li's mother, so who would listen to her?
Aunt Zhou's focus is not this, "Have you put away all those things?"
"It's been collected, but now all the keys and leaflets are in Li's mother's hands, auntie, if you don't remove those things, sooner or later Li's mother will find out."
Aunt Zhou raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you in a hurry now?" Hum! You didn't tell the third girl, in case these things of unknown origin are discovered by Li's mother, she can't keep anything but her, and she may be punished by Madame?"
Ruxue whispered Fan Anlan's words to Aunt Zhou. "That's a real deal!"
Although she didn't know for sure that Yancui helped her daughter steal those treasures, she could trust her daughter's vision, if it wasn't for her liking, Yancui wanted to be perfunctory, she might not accept it.
Once you have to check the source, how can you justify it? She is a little girl in the boudoir, where did she get those precious jewelry and ornaments? As soon as she thought of the decorations, Aunt Zhou thought of the hibiscus jade basin again.
"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! Aunt Zhou kept cursing, her mind was running fast, she thought of a few ways, she wanted to escape this catastrophe, and she wanted to keep those treasures for her daughter, but she couldn't do anything because of the lack of manpower!
Ruxue and the maid in Aunt Zhou's house looked at each other, the outside of the house gradually darkened, and the gloomy breath slowly climbed into everyone's hearts.
Aunt Zhou couldn't think of a solution for a while, the old lady's condition is unknown now, and the old man didn't return to the house, only let the letter come back, after yesterday's trouble to the lady, Zhou's mother's family was immediately sent away by the chief manager of the outer courtyard, the door is closed in the house, most of her people are outside the house, and most of the people in the house are born by the Fan family or the old lady to accompany the house, although it is not to the iron wall, but it is not easy to buy and win over.
Finally seized the opportunity and installed someone into Zhaoran Courtyard, but I didn't expect Ding's indifference, but the two little guys didn't forget their siblings, the eldest young master seemed to be indifferent to his younger siblings, and even took the lead for the little fool and sent Yancui a few, she miscalculated and underestimated the eldest young master's feelings for his younger siblings.
It shouldn't be!
Aunt Zhou exhaled hard, and then regained her calm a little, now because of the old lady, Ding's door is closed, she can't contact the people outside the house, if Zhou's mother's family is still in the house, she can notify her people through them, let them go to find her sister......
No, no, she used her sister back then, asking her to ask Ding's help, so that she could have a chance to get rid of her aunt's control, but it also made her sister disdain her methods, although these years of fish and geese back and forth, finally let her sister's attitude soften, and she was willing to return to Beijing, the next post to invite their mother and son to be guests, but her sister with a good fate always felt that their sister owed Ding, and always persuaded her to give in to Ding's softness in the letter.
Tell her to give in to Ding's softness! If she hadn't been thoughtful, would she have been able to marry a good husband? Can she be an official's wife? You must know that their good aunt wanted to marry her to an old man who had killed three wives at that time, and it was she who caught the eldest son that her aunt was proud of, and had an affair with her brother and daughter-in-law, which forced the woman to bow her head.
Hate that woman is vicious, don't wait for her sister to get married, the sister-in-law has already died, fortunately she left a hand, leaving a letter between the son of Yongning Hou and the second sister-in-law, to blackmail the aunt not to repent, Zhou Jingshui Fang Shun lĂŹ married, but unfortunately Mrs. Yongning Hou is a powerful one, as soon as her sister sedan chair went out, she took the letter in her hand and destroyed it.
What she didn't expect was that the marriage that she did everything possible to help her sister push off would finally fall on her head!
The man originally didn't want her, because she was old, so the eldest aunt would push Jingshui out, and after Jingshui got married, I don't know how the woman was clever and coaxed, so that the man who was originally unwilling to marry her agreed to marry her.
Thinking of herself who was sitting in the city of sorrow at that time, thinking hard about countermeasures and trying to escape, Aunt Zhou took a deep breath again, it's okay, that kind of problem has been settled for her, and now this situation will also let her get through it safely.
Today, my mother-in-law can walk on the ground, grabbing the walker and walking fast, so scared that the little caregiver does not dare to leave without permission, so the progress of the code word is strictly behind, and she is once again despised by her mother...... Also, thank you Xiaoyu for reminding me, the last chapter should have been restored to normal!
