h2> the fourth wife stepped up the steps, and the third lady greeted her with a smile, with a smile between her eyebrows, "I haven't seen you for a year, the fourth brother and sister are getting more and more beautiful, and the feng shui in Yuzhou is really nurturing." ”

The fourth wife's face was praised red, and she took a sip of the third wife, her eyes were gentle as water, "I haven't seen you for a year, but the third sister-in-law's mouth is getting more and more numb, and she will say that it sounds good to fool me, in previous years, the third sister-in-law came back two days later than me, but this year it was faster than me, when did you come back?" ”

An Rong stood aside, a smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be like a spring breeze in March, but in fact it was full of coldness.

Earlier, the fourth wife also sent a letter to the second wife, will she know about the third room?

If she hadn't known in advance, she would have been deceived.

No, the uninformed third wife smiled and said, "I've been back for a few days." ”

The fourth lady was surprised, she looked unaware, and her gentle face was full of surprise, "Some days?" The third master is the most obedient to the court's etiquette, and it is still possible for my lord to return to Beijing two days in advance, how can the third master be? ”

After the fourth wife finished speaking, the third wife's personal maid said proudly, "The fourth wife doesn't know, our third master was promoted to Qizhou to command the affairs, and from the official of the third grade, he handed over the matter at hand and returned to Beijing." ”

The more the fourth lady listened, the more shocked she became, her face was full of envy, she took the third wife's hand, and said excitedly, "The third old man has been promoted to two levels?" The third master has done something great in office, let me hear it, our master has been in Yuzhou for two years, and his achievements are mediocre, and I am in a hurry to die. ”

The reaction of the fourth wife greatly satisfied the vanity of everyone in the third room, including the third wife.

It's just that the third wife is a little embarrassed and said, "What achievements are not made, what should be done and what should be done in such a decent manner, the promotion is helped by the Hou Mansion, oops, don't talk about it, all the way back, the boat is tired, you must be tired and panicked, right?" ”

The fourth lady glanced at the third lady with disgust, "What is there to be tired, I could have come back two days in advance, but it rained, the road was slippery and difficult to walk, and I rested at the post station for two days, my waist was stiff, and the fatigue I had earlier was gone." ”

The third lady took a closer look at the fourth wife's face and said with a smile, "Your complexion is ruddy, if you are really not tired, you are luckier than me, it was only raining when you came back, and when I came back, I encountered hail in the sky, and I almost lost my life on the road." ”

The fourth wife frowned and sighed, "I thought I was unlucky enough, I didn't expect the third sister-in-law to be worse than me, but yesterday I rested at the post station, I heard that there were officials who returned to Beijing, were intercepted and killed, and the corpses were all over the field, we came back together, I don't dare to go out again, I don't know if I can walk around in Beijing more, I would rather spend one or two thousand taels of silver, than if I lose my life." ”

After speaking, with a look of emotion, he didn't say that he would ask the third master to help.

The fourth wife is smart and smart here, she has this need, but she doesn't ask for help, she will send a bunch of things, so that you are embarrassed not to help her.

The third wife didn't take the initiative to intervene, the third master is not a Beijing official, she is just a woman in the inner house, and she will not invite trouble for him, only the fourth master will go and tell the third master that she can take care of the inner house.

After chatting a few words, the third wife looked at everyone in the fourth room.

One of them, a petite girl of about twelve years old, caught her eye.

The girl was dressed in a smoky green halo ripple brocade robe, unpowdered, and with a white little face, like a rain-washed pear flower.

Her eyes are like a misty lake, clear and clean, with a playful smile in them, her skin is as tender as the petals of a flower moistened by the dew in the morning, and her lips are like cherries in April, full of cherry blossoms.

The slender eyelashes trembled slightly, like two beautiful butterflies sitting on scallops, as if they could flutter their wings and fly away when they moved.

The third lady looked at the calm and said with amazement, "This is Sister Yan'er, it's really a woman's eighteen changes, one thing a year, this is a big girl." ”

Shen Anyan's face was full of shame, she was three points like Mrs. Four, especially the natural gentleness, which was even more like a full ten.

"Third aunt, don't be ashamed of me," the voice was as sweet as honey, soft and glutinous.

The fourth lady sneered, took Shen Anxi's hand and said with a smile, "Sister Xi is the eighteenth change of the female college, in previous years, I saw that I was very weak, but this time, my complexion seems to be very good, isn't it that the old lady helped find a famous doctor and get rid of the disgusting asthma, right?" ”

Shen Anxi was made uncomfortable by the fourth wife's scrutinizing eyes, because the fourth wife seemed to want to see from her face who cured her illness, isn't this a blind search?

Shen Anxi had no choice but to smile and say, "Fourth aunt, it was the fourth sister and Dr. Liu who helped me treat the disease. ”

The fourth wife was stunned for a while before she looked at An Rong, "Is it An Rong's disease?" It's not to tease the fourth aunt, is it a little girl, how can she have the ability to treat you sick? ”

An Rong stood aside and didn't step forward, she was watching how the fourth wife pretended, she knew all about these things in her heart, but she could pretend to know nothing, she really admired her so much.

An Rong felt that pretending was a science, and she had to learn it well.

She had to be more vigilant in her heart, she felt that the third wife's smile at the fourth wife was very sincere, as if it was not much worse for her, An Rong was really afraid that the third wife would be calculated by the fourth wife.

But inexplicably said bad things about the fourth wife, An Rong was a little speechless.

An Rong was distracted for a while, and did not answer the fourth wife, and the fourth wife was a little embarrassed, looking at the third wife and a little overwhelmed, with an expression of how could An Rong ignore me.

The third lady chuckled, "She, she likes to wander, I don't know where I want to go now, okay, okay, don't talk much, let's go and say hello to the old lady first." ”

The third wife pulled the fourth wife away, and behind, Shen Anxi pulled An Rong's hand and said with a smile, "Fourth sister, are you still thinking about the family affairs of the Xiao Guo Mansion?" ”

An Rong's face was slightly embarrassed, and he glared at Shen Anxi with disgust, "You also made fun of me?" ”

"I didn't," Shen Anxi argued, and then smiled again, "In the past, the fourth sister liked the fourth aunt very much, but now she is a little estranged." ”

An Rong raised her eyes to look at the fourth wife who walked away, and her crisp and hearty laughter, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and gradually became colder.

Shen Anxi was stunned.

An Rongke rarely showed such an expression, such an expression meant that she was disgusted with a person.

The fourth sister hates the fourth aunt?

This year, didn't the fourth aunt come back for the first time, when she sent the fourth aunt away a few years ago, the fourth sister also told the fourth aunt to bring her a gift when she came back?

"Fourth sister, did the fourth aunt upset you?" Shen Anxi wondered.

An Rong shook his head lightly, looked at Shen Anxi for a while, did not speak, but said quickly with the peony mouth on the side, "Sixth girl, you don't know, a few days ago, the fourth wife sent a letter to the second wife, asking about the affairs of the house, the third master was promoted, Xiyuan was on fire, you are well, she knows everything about the old lady's illness." ”

The more Peony said, the wider Shen Anxi's eyes widened, and he looked at An Rong in disbelief.

An Rong nodded, "It just so happened that I and Peony stole it, but just like the fourth aunt, you also saw it, you don't know anything about these things, I'm distracted because I am wondering how a person knows everything, but pretends not to know anything, how does he do it?" ”

Shen Anxi turned his head to look into the distance, and the fourth wife and her party had already walked away.

She never thought that the fourth wife's unaware-unaware appearance was pretending, so she was too capable of pretending, right?

"Could it be that the second aunt didn't reply?" Shen Anxi guessed.

Peony shook her head and said firmly, "It must be a reply, the relationship between the second wife and the fourth wife is very good, and the second wife's burned mink cloak was given by the fourth wife." ”

Shen Anxi was stunned again, this time his eyes didn't almost fall out.

"The fourth aunt sent it? How is it possible, at the Lantern Festival a few years ago, the fourth aunt was still envious and jealous of the second aunt's mink cloak, and she wanted to borrow it to wear it for two days," Shen Anxi's voice gradually weakened, and her face became ugly.

Shen Anxi is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart.

If the fourth wife just knows how to pretend, An Rong won't sue her about this, who can't pretend, she will.

But pretending to be the fourth wife, the relationship with everyone in the Hou Mansion is good, and no one is blushing, that is, the eldest lady is exceptionally good to the fourth wife, can such a scheming method be ordinary?

The fourth sister sued her about this, so that she should be vigilant, keep a distance from the fourth wife, and even tell her mother, so that her mother would tell the fourth wife if she had anything else.

The fourth wife and the second wife have such a good personal relationship, and the second wife is a person that Shen Anxi hates!

In an instant, Shen Anxi had no good impression of the fourth wife.

"Like gathers like, she is definitely not a good person," Shen Anxi concluded.

An Rong couldn't cry or laugh.

Holding Shen Anxi's hand, An Rong shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure if the fourth aunt is a bad person, but it's certain that she speaks and acts differently from us, she has a good relationship with anyone, and she is also an excellent talker in the house, even in her grandmother's heart, she is also first-class, let's not clash with her head-on, just be careful." ”

An Rong knew that Shen Anxi had a strong temperament, and the difference between liking and disliking was too obvious.

If you like it, you will stick to you, trust you, and be good to you.

If I don't like you, then I will be hostile to you, angry with you, or even angry with you.

There are no other feelings in the middle, such as pretending not to know, pretending to like.

Thinking about the beginning, when Shen Anxi poisoned her, An Rong was because she concealed it, and Shen Anxi was annoyed and ignored her.

This is still because An Rong saved her life and has a good relationship with her, if she were someone else, Shen Anxi would have scolded her.

Therefore, as soon as she heard that Shen Anxi had concluded that the fourth wife was not a good person, An Rong was worried that she was disgusted when she talked to the fourth wife.

Dislike a person who pleases everyone and wins everyone's hearts, and the final result is that she will be scolded and hated.

An Rong didn't want her to be angry. R1152
