Chapter 31: Calculation
Compared with the harmony between Mrs. Cui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the atmosphere in the Xinuan Pavilion of Xifu Rongyuan is not so good.
With a crisp sound, Mrs. Zhou threw the teacup onto the table, because the force was too great, the teacup fell crookedly on the table, and the bright yellow tea soup flowed down the table, all the way to the ground, ticking, and soon gathered into a puddle on the ground.
On the face of this second-grade lady, there was no longer the bright smile just now, she frowned tightly, and the corners of her mouth were furrowed, showing a few deep wrinkles, which was similar to the bodhisattva-like appearance just now.
"How did you promise me? Ah, when it comes to taking out a few concubines, you want to be vague? Don't forget, my good sister, how did you cry and beg me to help you break out of the pit of the Fan family?! ”
"Why, in the past few years in Cuijiaxi Mansion, the small life of calling slaves and drinking maids has been too comfortable, and the original kindness has been forgotten?"
Mrs. Zhou's words suddenly raised her tone, making her originally soft voice extremely harsh, "Don't forget, Zhou Yue, if I hadn't given up my face and begged your concubine to help you, would you either raise horses in the bitter cold land of the northwest, or marry someone's unfavored concubine, and still want to be a wife?" ”
Second Mrs. Cui lowered her head to listen to the training, her face was red and white, very exciting, and she didn't dare to say a word.
Until Mrs. Zhou stared at her eyes angrily and panted, she gave Mrs. Cui the anger that she had just given her.
She said aggrievedly: "Eldest sister is not angry, you can also see it today, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are against me everywhere, changing their ways to protect the nine girls, my sister really tried her best, even the dark chess in their yard was abandoned, and then the nine girls were out." ”
"The eldest sister said that her sister didn't do her best, but it was really a big wrong, the eldest sister's love of protection, my sister didn't dare to forget it for a moment, the four festivals and eight ceremonies over the years, you can see that my sister has been slow to treat it that time?"
Second Mrs. Cui looked at her eldest sister's face, touching the deepest heartstring hidden in her heart, and she didn't have to pretend to be sad.
She choked and covered her face with a handkerchief and cried: "My good eldest sister, can't you still see your sister's intentions?" Now besides you, who else can my sister rely on? ”
Mrs. Zhou was lowered by Mrs. Cui and made a small mourning voice, coaxing a little soothing, and it looked sincere, not like a fake.
She actually knows very well in her heart that this concubine who is recorded in her mother's name doesn't dare to be sloppy with herself at all, but she has her handle in her hands!
"Okay, I'm just angry with your good mother-in-law and sister-in-law, our lord, a dignified feudal official, came to ask for a marriage for his son-in-law, and they actually took the concubine out to perfunctory me, it's really too much for anyone to see!" Mrs. Zhou thought of her son's marriage, and she had to settle in the Cui family, but she couldn't hurt this sister ruthlessly, and her tone suddenly softened a little.
Second Mrs. Cui glanced at Mama Yang and Chunyan, and saw these two people, one wiping the table and the other changing the tea cup, and instantly cleaned up the mess in the house.
Second Mrs. Cui personally served a new cup of tea, watched Mrs. Zhou use it, and then sighed: "Don't say that you are angry, my sister really can't figure it out, and the old lady is just fine, but my sister-in-law, although she is of the same grade as you, she does not have your good life." ”
"But look at her, she didn't take the noble concubine in her eyes at all, and actually asked you to take back the things you sent out, alas, you can imagine from this matter, sister, I don't have a good time in the Cui family on weekdays."
Second Mrs. Cui wiped her tears with a handkerchief, Mrs. Zhou stretched out her hand to signal her to sit down, thought for a while, and then said, "Are you sure this Miss Nine is a good one?" You also know that your little nephew's body is not good, but he can't stand it at all. ”
The look in Mrs. Cui's eyes flickered, but fortunately, there was a veil to cover it, but Mrs. Zhou couldn't see it.
I only heard her laugh and said: "This child has been a docile character since he was a child, and he can't get along better, but he is a little younger, you see"
The corners of Mrs. Zhou's eyes twitched uncontrollably, "Being young is not a problem, as long as you are well-behaved, the identity match will be done, our Bian family, we can't afford to lose this face." ”
Second Mrs. Cui nodded in the burning eyes of her eldest sister after all, if someone was careful, they would find that her skirt was shaking slightly.
Mrs. Zhou smiled, "That's good, when your brother-in-law goes to Beijing to report on his work in the winter, I will ask him to come to Cui Shangshu in person, your uncle is in a high position, but the old man in the officialdom knows how to choose." ”
When she said this, she couldn't hide the smug look in her eyes.
Since the matter has been decided, she is impatient to deal with her sister-in-law, shirks the sincere retention of Mrs. Cui, takes the maid's mother, and leaves.
Second Mrs. Cui looked at these people, left in a huge formation, raised the corners of her eyes, smiled contemptuously, held Mama Yang's hand, and went back to the main room.
"I really don't know what our eldest lady thinks, the third cousin young master, he is sixteen this year, what is the use of marrying a ten-year-old child back?" Mama Yang muttered while removing the hairpin ring for Mrs. Cui.
Second Mrs. Cui looked at herself in the mirror, wearing this water-red beaded gown, but she looked younger.
Bent the corners of his mouth, and said indifferently: "It's about my nephew, I won't live long, and I can't have sex at all, this is a young one, and when my nephew is gone, she has just become an adult, and she happens to be a widow, hum, my eldest sister's abacus is very good." ”
Mama Yang's hand couldn't help shaking, and it happened that the gem on the hairpin hooked a few hairs, which made Second Mrs. Cui hiss, and then looked at Mama Yang and asked, "What's the matter, your heart is soft?" ”
"No, the slave is just thinking, the old lady is there, I'm afraid she won't nod lightly." Mama Yang was secretly shocked in her heart, and hurriedly said a topic that attracted attention.
Second Mrs. Cui looked in the mirror, reached out and stroked the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "My eldest brother-in-law will come to ask for marriage in person at that time, in a concubine who has no prospects, and the powerful Bian family will choose, the uncle is clear, and he knows how to be the best of the Cui family." ”
"Don't forget jì, the Bian family still has a noble person in the palace, even if our eldest lady is selected this year, when she goes to such a place, she has to choose a backer, and someone can help you go in the long run, right?"
Mama Yang said with a smile: "What Madam said is very true, isn't that the truth?" The eldest lady will enter the palace in the future, and if there are noble concubines and mothers to carry one or two, it will be a great benefit. ”
The master and servant said that the deed, the corners of their eyes and eyebrows were cheerful
