Chapter 44: Pearls
Now Aunt Sun couldn't help it. Although she is an aunt, but a few years ago she was outside, and she was alone, and then she entered the house, and her wife was driven down, and the affairs of the house were handed over to her. is to go out to socialize, those ladies are very sorry for her for the sake of Lord Xu, and now she has been embarrassed by a housekeeper lady, she can't bear it anymore.
Fortunately, at this time, Xu Mingzhu and her mother Hu Shi were dressed and came to the flower hall. Chen Cai's family, as soon as he saw the Hu family, he stood up busily, respectfully asked for peace, handed over the post, and said very politely: "Madam, my wife wants to invite Madame and the third girl to my house for a light meal." ”
Aunt Sun was even more angry when Chen Cai's family looked like this, and was about to speak, when Xu Zhijie came in. Xu Zhijie saw Hu Shi wearing an autumn-colored sprinkled brocade jacket, combing a round bun, and distracting two jade hairpins with red gold. The face is a little haggard, thin fat powder, and the facial features are delicate, but there is a lingering depression. Xu Zhijie frowned, turned around and said to Chen Cai's family with a smile: "This mother is tired, you can take the car back first, my wife and girl will be our family's carriage, so it will be more convenient when you come back." Aunt Sun, give this mother a first-class red seal. ”
As soon as Aunt Sun saw Xu Zhijie enter the house, she put on a charming smiling face, and when she heard the order, she hurriedly agreed. Chen Cai's family thanked the reward, and went out of the house to get in the car and wait.
As soon as Chen Cai's family left, Xu Zhijie said to Aunt Sun: "Didn't you let them dress up well, you must know that this county lady cares about dressing up very much." What are you wearing for her? ”
Before Aunt Sun could answer, Hu Shi had already said: "Master, I am already yesterday's yellow flower, no matter how I dress up, it will be useless, that's it, in exchange for it, I can't afford to pay for it when I turn around and damage my good clothes." ”
Xu Zhijie became angry when he heard it: "Hmph, do you think I want to give you clothes?" I didn't even give birth to a son, and my mother's family affected me, do I really want to take care of you? You'd better be obedient today, and talk to Mrs. Chen well, and if you come back, I'll change you to live in the upper room. If you don't get things done, you will come back and ask you to look good. ”
Hu Shi didn't look at him, and snorted in his nose. Xu Zhijie was angry when he saw her like this, and looked at Xu Mingzhu again. Xu Mingzhu is not like Hu who doesn't go out all day, Xu Mingzhu is often taken out for entertainment, so the clothes and jewelry are very suitable. Xu Zhijie nodded with satisfaction. Waved them to get into the car.
As soon as Hu and Xu Mingzhu left, Aunt Sun grabbed Xu Zhijie's sleeve and cried: "Master, I'm not alive anymore, where do I still have the face to walk around outside, I've been around for a long time, I follow the master, get the favor of the master, treat me like a lady in the main room, that is, an old lady, and when I am the daughter-in-law of my relatives." I have worked hard for so many years to give birth to children for my lord, take care of housework, go out to socialize, there is no merit and hard work, today I was so believing, it is the first time, I am asked how to manage the servants at home in the future, how to come forward to socialize? ”
Xu Zhijie softened when he saw Aunt Sun's pear blossoms with rain. Hurriedly coaxed a couple of sentences. Aunt Sun stopped crying and said, "Master, I look weird about this matter, how can I let their mother be a guest, don't have anything wrong." ”
Xu Zhijie was also strange: "I said this thing is strange a long time ago, I haven't heard that Lord Chen has anything to do with the Hu family." The Hu family's mother's family are all scholars, but Master Chen is from a noble family, which is not a match. ”
Aunt Sun said, "Master, I think it's the third girl's business. ”
This time Xu Zhijie was even more strange: "What's wrong with Mingzhu, how big is Mingzhu, how can he catch Mrs. Chen?" ”
Aunt Sun said with a strange face: "What if I didn't catch Mrs. Chen, but someone else?" ”
Xu Zhijie said: "What do you want to say, hurry up." ”
Now Aunt Sun didn't dare to sell Guan Zi: "I saw Lord Chen at a banquet, he was young, he looked like a suave son, and he was born in a big family, maybe he fell in love with the third girl."
Xu Zhijie's face changed suddenly: "No, Mingzhu is still young." ”
Aunt Sun said: "Where is it young, it is already ten years old, and it is just a flower bone." ”
Xu Zhijie groaned for a while, and said in a negative manner: "If this is the case, it is okay to be a small one for Lord Chen." Although it is said that the daughter of a subordinate will be caught by the imperial history, this Lord Chen is not an ordinary official, Lord Chen is from the Chen family, and his sister is still the mother of the palace. It's the uncle of the country. ”
Aunt Sun said with some pity: "Actually, it's not me who says it, if you talk about color, our pearls are stronger than pearls in all aspects, why does Lord Chen just fancy pearls." By the way, Lord Chen has never seen Mingzhu. ”
Xu Zhijie shook his head and said, "Don't guess, how about their mother and daughter coming back today." You have to be kind to Mingzhu in the future. I'm going back to the Yamen. ”
After saying that, he went out. Aunt Sun hated for a while, hurriedly put on a smiling face, diligently waited for the master to change his official clothes, and watched Xu Zhihui come to the door before going back to her room and sitting down.
Just thinking about it, Xu Pearl and Xu Baozhu sisters came in: "Mother, how come that little slut Mingzhu can go to the county commander's house as a guest, but our sisters didn't receive the post?" ”
Aunt Sun aroused anger in her heart when she heard this: "Hmph, even I am not qualified to go, how can you go?" It's the slut of the Hu family who went to pretend to be that lady. ”
Xu Baozhu has more brains than her sister, and when she heard this, she said: "Mother, this matter is very strange, why did you call their mother and daughter in a good manner?" In the past, these ladies had banquets, and they were all directly posted to your mother? ”
Aunt Sun was even more angry: "Hmph, just forget if you don't post to me, but the angry thing is that her housekeeper lady has not said a lot of unpleasant things, I have not said these words to me since I followed your father, who doesn't know that I am the second lady, but she is an aunt, so angry that I can't do it." ”
Xu Pearl jumped up angrily when she heard this: "What, mother, why don't you slap her with a big slap and just let people pull her out." ”
Aunt Sun said: "Pearl you are not small, why are you still so frizzy, she is sent by Lord Chen's wife, what is it to beat a dog to watch the master, to beat a slave and maid, if you evil Mrs. County Ling, what can I do?" ”
Xu Pearl listened to it and did it angrily. Xu Baozhu said: "What does this county lady think? Why do you care about our family? ”
Aunt Sun said: "Today, it wasn't just Mrs. County Ling who sent someone, but Lord Chen personally told your father that he wanted their mother and daughter to be guests, which is unusual." Normally, the old men don't care about the ladies' gatherings, and Lord Chen personally ordered it, which made me strange. ”
Xu Baozhu immediately said: "Oh my God, it won't be Lord Chen who has taken a fancy to Mingzhu's little slut." ”
Aunt Sun nodded gloomily: "I think so too." Have you met Master Chen? Born in a famous family, only in his thirties, he looks like he is in his twenties, white and handsome, revealing the luxurious temperament of his family. It's really a cheap pearl. I just told your father, and your father is very much in favor of it. ”
Xu Baozhu was taken aback when he heard this: "Father still approves, then the pearl will not ride on our heads in the future, and the slut of the Hu family has a good son-in-law, doesn't he want to crush you?" ”
Aunt Sun was irritable for a while: "I'm just afraid of this." ”
Xu Pearl said hatefully: "What's so good about that little girl in Mingzhu, in terms of appearance, the figure is not worthy of lifting shoes for me." Hum. How good is Lord Chen's family, you are a county magistrate, you have a lot of business, a lot of money, a lot of power, and the most important thing is that you are from a famous family, and you will follow you into Beijing in the future and go to the homes of those dignitaries. Hmph, why give Mingzhu these. ”
When Aunt Sun heard this, she suddenly looked at her eldest daughter carefully, and saw that Pearl was wearing a pink? Y flower brocade jacket, pine green flower skirt, combed with a fallen bun, with red gold steps, snow-white face, phoenix eyes, Qiong nose, cherry mouth, looks a gorgeous and romantic appearance.
Pearl saw her mother looking her up and down, and was a little overwhelmed: "Mother, what are you doing, you can see my hair." ”
Aunt Sun suddenly laughed: "Pearl, you are also fifteen years old this year, and I was already married to your father when I was your age." I also helped you see a few families before, either poor and talented or rich people, where can they compare to Lord Chen. If you enter the Chen family, you can also bring your brother with you. Master Chen will return to Beijing in the future. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you will be the aunt of the uncle of the country when you arrive, what a beautiful scenery. You've also seen Lord Chen's wife, who is gentle and generous, not mean. Mrs. Chen's body and head, some of which we have not seen. It's great that you can enjoy this even after you have passed. ”
Pearl blushed: "Why did my mother suddenly say this?" I don't want to be an aunt. ”
Aunt Sun immediately turned her face: "Hmph, what's wrong with my aunt, don't forget, you also crawled out of your aunt's stomach." What's wrong? Are the wings stiff now? Do you look down on your aunt? You didn't see it today, even the housekeeper of the Chen family can crush your mother, if you enter the Chen Mansion, these people are not all in your hands. I heard that the Chen family does not have an aunt to have a room, and Mrs. Chen has already given birth to two sons and a daughter, how can it compare to your youth? If you marry in the past, with your face and figure, you will definitely be able to win the favor of Lord Chen, what do you want when the time comes? This lady of Anseong still has to call you the second lady. In the future, I will be able to enjoy happiness in the capital. ”
The pearl's heart burned with these words.
