Chapter 128: Difficult
Mrs. Xuanping Hou twisted her eyebrows, in this way, in fact, there is no difference from Ping's wife, but the monthly money is less, the people who serve are less, and the place where she lives is smaller.
But if she doesn't agree, the Wu'an Hou Mansion should have to inch in, and there is a reason to ask for more, which is called toasting and not eating and drinking.
Mrs. Xuanping Hou thought about it, and then responded with a smile.
The old lady asked Mother Sun to send Mrs. Xuanping Hou out, and Mrs. Xuanping Hou didn't feel slow to wait, the Hou Mansion has been in the limelight recently, and it is also the most unlucky time, good things are continuous, and bad things are continuous.
It's strange that all the things that are preferred are men, and all the unlucky ones are women.
Peony listened, covered her chuckle, and whispered, "The eldest girl was not satisfied with the marriage she prepared before, it can only be used by a wife, how can you use Da Hong as a concubine?" ”
An Rong tugged at the corners of his mouth, and had nothing to say.
Shen Anyun estimated that she would be a wife, the worst and worst also had a flat wife, who would have thought that she would become a concubine in the end?
An Rong guessed well, Shen Anyun was right, the Hou Mansion would fight for the position of the main wife, and at worst it would be a flat wife, who would have thought that it would be a concubine in the end.
Shen Anyun angrily dropped all the things in the room that could be dropped.
It's not distressing at all.
What do you feel sorry for, after getting married, you can't take these things away.
Especially the big red wedding dress, last night she tossed and turned, couldn't sleep and lit the lamp to embroider the wedding dress, thinking that she could wear it to get married, but in the end she was a concubine.
Even if the marriage is comparable to a flat wife, the big red will have nothing to do with her in the future!
Shen Anyun angrily used scissors to cut the wedding dress into pieces.
Shotsuru-in, main house.
Hou Ye was busy with official business, and went to the outer study, where the old lady sat and asked Xia He to help pinch her shoulders and beat her back, looking still tired.
An Rong tiptoed closer, waved his hand to Xia He, took her place, and helped the old lady pinch up.
After a while, the old lady opened her eyes and said with a smile, "Why did you suddenly grow in craftsmanship, and it was more comfortable than before." ”
Xia He stood aside and covered her mouth and giggled, "Old lady, the slave is clumsy, how can she become skilled in a while, it is the fourth girl who is helping you pinch your shoulders, she knows you best, old lady." ”
When the old lady turned around, she saw An Rong with a smile on her face, and glanced at her, "The grandmother who pinched her whole body is comfortable, who did she learn from?" ”
An Rong sat down next to the old lady and said coquettishly, "I learned from Sister Xia He, but An Rong is smart, and after a while, he will be better than the blue." ”
It is impossible for her to sue the old lady, in her previous life, in order to please Mrs. Dongqinhou, she helped her pinch her shoulders and beat her back, but she was disgusted and clumsy, and specially learned how to serve people, thinking of her previous life, An Rong's nose was sour, and for those who did not love herself, she changed it in every possible way, and those who loved her own were arrogant and arrogant, breaking their hearts.
An Rong wants to continue to help the old lady pinch her shoulders, the old lady is afraid that she will be tired, don't.
An Rong insisted, and the old lady left her alone, but told Xia He to study hard.
An Rong smiled bitterly, in her previous life, she had served Mrs. Dongqin Hou for so long, and she had never asked the maid to learn once.
The old lady who was pinching was so comfortable that she even let go of her frowning brows, and a maid ran in in a hurry, and said anxiously, "Old lady, it's not good, the eldest girl heard that she was going to marry the prince of Xuanping Hou as a concubine, and she wanted to hang herself." ”
The old lady opened her eyes and glanced at the maid, her eyes were cold, "From Yuzhuyuan to Songheyuan, it takes half a cup of tea to run over, and this time is enough for her to hang herself seven or eight times." ”
The little girl was stunned there, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Mother Sun didn't persuade the old lady not to be angry, don't worry, this is not clear, the eldest girl is not satisfied with being a concubine, and she wants to die to force her, such a drama, the old lady doesn't know how much she has heard of in her life, and what she is most annoying about is crying, making trouble and hanging herself.
The old lady has been in a good mood and bad recently, but she is in a slightly better mood today, that is, she saw that the second young master was forging ahead, and she had hope.
The eldest girl ruined the reputation of the Hou Mansion, and the old lady was annoyed that she was too late, a little trick, and the old lady didn't have the heart to make trouble with her at all.
An Rong didn't say anything, and continued to pinch her shoulders and beat her back, but Mother Sun also added, "Take care of the big girl, if the big girl has any mistakes, none of you can escape." ”
An Rong chatted with the old lady, just begging the old lady to change her mind and not worry about these messy things.
After chatting, An Rong changed the topic and asked the old lady, "Grandmother, the eldest brother is married, what kind of person is the future sister-in-law?" ”
The old lady opened her eyes, looked at An Rong with a smile and said, "Your eldest brother is the son of the family, and he will inherit the entire Hou Mansion in the future, and the future Mrs. Hou will naturally have a dignified appearance, gentle and kind character, and good talent." ”
Saying that, the old lady sighed, "Grandmother didn't expect such a thing to happen in the house, so I should let your sister-in-law pass through the door as soon as possible." ”
Mother Sun brought the pastry over and said with a smile, "Isn't this the prince still studying in the academy, Mrs. Shizi marries back, and the prince can't go back to the house twice in three days, isn't this cold?" But a few months have passed in the blink of an eye. ”
The old lady smiled lightly, and the little regret was gone.
An Rong is distracted, the sister-in-law chosen by her grandmother will naturally not be wrong, she regards the Hou Mansion more than anything else, and estimates that her father can compare with the Hou Mansion, but the sister-in-law who finally married into the door has a bad character, An Rong thinks about it, and the root of her teeth is itching.
An Rong took his hand, sat down next to the old lady, and said, "Grandmother, seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, next year my sister-in-law will marry into our Hou Mansion, An Rong wants to pick a few gifts for my future sister-in-law and send someone to send them to her, so that the future sister-in-law can perceive the goodwill of our Hou Mansion." ”
The old lady looked at An Rong, looked at her calmly, and the old lady was about to nod.
Well, another short-eyed maid ran in.
An Rongqi's heart and liver hurt, what is there to be urgent, I have to come up, if I hang myself, I will be knocked out directly, I have to come to my grandmother, and my grandmother can fly to save her!
But what the maid said, An Rong's eyes erupted with fire when he heard it.
Someone came from Jimin Hall, accompanied by Mrs. Jiang.
The maid felt the anger of the old lady and An Rong, shrunk her neck and said, "Second Mrs. Jiang said, she has no face, and their family can't afford this black pot, so I specially sent it back to the eldest lady today, if the old lady doesn't let her enter the door, she will unload the door." ”
An Rong frowned when she heard this, this is Chi Guoguo's threat, if she is not allowed to enter the door, she will shout at the gate of the Hou Mansion, anyway, there is no face, everyone is not together.
She really has a face, An Rong really wanted to stop the maid who went out to pray, so she let her shout at the door, she was the one who was wronged by stealing, and she couldn't change this fact even if she was a lotus flower!
The old lady was not so angry with An Rong, but looked at An Rong and said with a smile, "You are still thoughtful, you should send some gifts to your in-laws." ”
An Rong's eyebrows stretched, nodded again and again, and made an appointment with the old lady, and two days later, let someone send it.
After drinking a cup of tea, the maid led Mrs. Jiang Er and the steward of Jimin Hall in.
Second Mrs. Jiang's face was haggard, but her eyes were sharp and cold.
The manager of Jimin Hall is about forty years old, surnamed Li, and his appearance is elegant, but his eyes are calm and shrewd.
The two of them greeted the old lady in a decent manner, and then sat down.
An Rong stood beside the old lady, looking at the two of them, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the old lady.
The old lady was calm, fiddled with the lid of the teacup, glanced at the two of them elegantly, took a sip of tea, and then spoke, "Why don't you speak, and when you enter the door, you remember to save face?" ”
An Rong shook his shoulders.
Second Mrs. Jiang looked ugly, stood up and said, "Old lady, I know you don't want to see me, but I have to figure things out today, An Rong's secret recipe is that my master sold to Jimin Tang well, I admit this." ”
"But the secret recipe was not instructed by my lord to enter Linglong Garden to steal it, it was the eldest lady of the house, that is, my good sister-in-law, who shamelessly stole her daughter's secret recipe, and didn't dare to sell it, for fear of being discovered, and handed it over to our lord."
"Yes, our lord has helped, so naturally we want to take some benefits, but this black cauldron can't let our lord carry it alone, right?"
As she spoke, Mrs. Jiang's eyes were red, "Just because of such a little silver, our lord was disliked by the emperor, demoted by two levels, and had to face a huge amount of compensation from Jimintang, my sister-in-law is not willing to take it from the public in life or death, I can't help it, I hollowed out the dowry, there is still a difference of 10,000 taels, this money should be paid by the eldest lady of the house, I know that she is grounded, but this money must be taken, and our lord has to lose!" ”
When she said the last sentence, Mrs. Jiang suddenly became aggressive.
An Rong thought of the second Mrs. Jiang, who seemed to be weak and was only bullied by the eldest lady when she announced the decree that day, but she didn't expect that she also had the courage to rush up and slap the eldest lady.
This courage, to be honest, An Rong likes it very much.
After Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, then there was Steward Li of Jimin Hall, he also stood up and said, "Things have come to this point, it is not what everyone likes to see, Jimin Hall is now ruined in fame and fortune, those who have invested in the shares have to be compensated, our owner is now in a hurry, if Jian'an Bo Mansion does not compensate according to the contract, we can only see the official office." ”
Once the official office is in trouble, the reputation of Jian'anbo Mansion and Wu'anhou Mansion will be stinky to the end, and the brothers and sisters conspired to steal the secret recipe of their daughter and niece, and then the matter was revealed, and they tore their faces because of the issue of compensation.
This topic is expected to be around in Kyoto for decades.
The old lady put down the teacup, glanced at Second Mrs. Jiang and Steward Li, and said with a smile, "Since you have made up your mind to go to the official office, what are you going to do in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, do you want me to call you a soft sedan chair and a carriage to send you there?" ”
Second Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale.
Steward Li's brows also frowned, the old lady of the Marquis Mansion of Wu'an was really difficult, and what she said in one sentence made people speechless.
An Rong burst out laughing, feeling out of place, so he quickly covered it, not too gloating.
PS: I wrote it wrong before, it's Xuanping Houfu, not Dongping Houfu, I actually remembered it wrong, everyone then looked back and I found a time to modify the front ~~o(》_《)o~~R1152
