Chapter 16: The Secret
Cui Wanqing sat upright in the east side of the blue yarn cupboard to copy the scriptures, finally the old lady was merciful, but when she came, she left herself in Songcui Courtyard, saying that she was copying the scriptures, but in fact, she was just avoiding disasters.
Miss Yan of Xifu definitely can't live in Dongfu for a long time, but it is also a good choice to avoid the limelight for the time being, as long as there is time, Cui Wanqing believes that she can make a change.
"Yingqiao should have returned to Qingyuan, right? Don't you know that Brother Li woke up? Cui Wanqing realized that she was distracted again, and quickly shook her head, putting aside her distracting thoughts for the time being, and copiing the scriptures quietly.
Mrs. Cui, who was resting in the inner room, closed her eyes and heard Fu Yuan, who was beating her legs, whispering to Cui Wanqing what she was doing.
sighed: "This is also a poor child, and your second lady sees her as a thorn in her side!" I don't want to think about what kind of impact a small child can have on her? β
Fleur followed the meaning of the old lady's words, and then said, "Isn't that what you said? It's just a pity that Miss Nine is such a filial person, and when she goes back from you, I don't know how much trouble she will have to suffer. β
Old Mrs. Cui thought of Cui Wanqing's miserable appearance of being frightened just now, and she also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't let her good daughter-in-law take care of Cui Wanqing again.
Don't look at the split up of the West Mansion and the East Mansion, but the news that should be known, Mrs. Cui knows it completely, the second Mrs. Cui smashed it in the West Mansion just now, and the old lady felt like a mirror in her heart, and she only felt so unhappy!
After seven years of depression, I finally got a vent today!
It's just what Fu Rui said, but to tell the truth, Mrs. Cui secretly thought about it in her heart for a while, thinking about how to settle this poor motherless child.
"What are you doing in a hurry to go back? My wife lives alone, and it's strange that it's lonely, so it's okay to leave a granddaughter to talk and relieve boredom. I only heard Mrs. Cui say with her eyes closed.
She pointed to her waist by the way, feeling that Fu Yuan's hand was right in weight, and the old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Didn't you say that the courtyard where the nine girls live, the house is old and the yard is narrow?" Catch up with Ming and let the Ming housekeeper take someone to repair, expand what should be expanded, and I will pay for the old woman! Let the nine girls live here until my birthday is over, and then go back. β
Fleur lowered her head and secretly laughed, this time the warbler can come back again, the old lady's birthday is March, it is the time when the spring flowers are blooming, and there is still more than half a year before now.
Thinking that Yingqiao still had to take care of the poor girl who was injured, Fu Hui couldn't help but ask: "Old lady, I'm afraid that Yingqiao won't be able to come back for a while, just Ah Tao's little girl, I'm afraid I can't take care of Miss Nine." β
Mrs. Cui finally opened her eyes, frowned and reprimanded: "I don't know what the second family thinks, our family is not poor, when the family was separated, because of the youngest son, the old woman was still eccentric, why can't you even give Miss a few girls to use?" β
"I'm afraid that the second lady is unwilling, don't you know, today's maid passed through the West Mansion, walked around the courtyard of Miss Nine, and looked everywhere." Thinking of Qing Yuan's mottled and stale appearance, Fleur shook her head secretly.
She couldn't help but say more: "Originally, Yulan went to Qingyuan to send things back, and I also told the maid in private that the Qingyuan was old, and the maid didn't care at all, but now I went to see it myself, not only the yard has not been repaired for many years, but even the furnishings in the house are all fakes!" β
"You say, how can the second lady do it? Isn't she afraid that people will say that she treats her stepdaughter harshly? Fu Hui and the old lady were close, and couldn't help but ask what was in her heart.
Old Mrs. Cui was a little excited today, and she couldn't sleep at this time, but she had a good time talking, so she simply sat up and leaned on the two splendid cushions that Fu Hui added to herself.
said to Furao: "Actually, it's not that your second lady did it on purpose, but it can't get rid of her, she doesn't care about the nine girls, after a long time, what can't you see that greedy old man?" Not only did the money for repairing the yard be divided, but even the original items in the house were emptied? β
Speaking of this, the old lady smiled mysteriously at Fu Yuan, "Fortunately, the old man of the Marquis Mansion of Mingyuan sealed all the dowries of the first two ladies in our courtyard, so don't look at your ninth miss who is poor now, and she will not be poor in the future." β
This can be regarded as a secret, Fu Hui heard the old lady talk about it for the first time, and learned that Miss Nine actually had a dowry left by her mother to rely on, and Fu Hui was also happy for Yingqiao.
Seeing her undisguised joy, Old Madam Cui scolded with a smile: "Just you, a monkey spirit, who have been tricking me all day long, now that you know that the nine girls are rich, how can you be happy for your little apprentice?" β
Fu Rui didn't tell the difference when she heard this, but she shook the old lady's arm coquettishly, pouted and said: "You don't know the situation at the maid's house, the mother knows that the eldest brother and the second brother are distressed, and the maid is only regarded as a money string, and there is never a little sincerity. β
The old lady gently stroked Furui's arm and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, the old woman's body is still very strong, and she can protect you, if it weren't for the old body, she couldn't leave you for a moment, and gave you to the nine girls, it would be the best." β
"The old man vaguely remembers that the grandmother of the nine girls was sent to a small village by the second lady, and asked Pan's mother to bring someone back, to see if there were any other people in front of the second lady who could be used, and they would be brought back together."
"If you give Zeng's mother and Yulan to the nine girls, it's enough, in her original house, in addition to Yingqiao, there is also the heartfelt one, and the people next to her are all sent out, and it makes people feel bad when they look at it."
When Mrs. Cui said that she wanted to give Fu Rui to Cui Wanqing, Fu Rui's heart jumped, and then she heard the old lady say that she was reluctant, but she couldn't help but sink in her heart.
"Only one day today, the old lady sent out three big girls, it is indeed inseparable from himself, the days to come are still long, as long as you don't make concubines and playthings for the masters, even if you serve the old lady for a lifetime, it is a good thing." Fleur's mind is also spinning fast.
With such a smooth stroke, she felt much more comfortable in her heart, and said with a smile: "Old Taijun don't tell Miss SΓΉ Jiu today, let's give her a big surprise, and Yingqiao will also hide it first, if that girl knows that she will be on an errand with her mother in the future, maybe she will be happy, do you say okay?" β
Old Madam Cui glanced at her with a smile, stretched out her hand and nodded on her forehead, and said angrily: "You have a lot of ideas for this monkey ghost, so surprise is a surprise, but tomorrow's wedding banquet of lilacs and hibiscus must be done properly." β
The old lady suddenly became interested, sat up, put on her shoes and instructed Fu Hui, "Go, you go and call Shu's mother and Zeng's mother to come over, this will set the dowry, the wedding banquet or something, the time is quite tight, don't be lazy!" β
"It's not that your old man can't wait, to make the second lady look good? I can't wait for these three days, so I have to do it tomorrow, but fortunately, there are many people at home, and I am not afraid of a short time. Fleur couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart.
Cui Wanqing had just stopped at the moment, rubbing her wrists to rest, where did she know that there would be a huge surprise coming soon?
