After Jingxuan left, Wanyue sat for a while and got up.

The second wife didn't raise her head, still sighing in a muffled voice, Wanyue took the initiative to step forward and said: "Mother, don't be angry, the fourth sister has recently copied the scriptures, and she must be tired, so she said a few nonsense." Grandmother is the most inseparable from the fourth sister, and she will talk about it if she doesn't see her for a few days, and then the fourth sister will go over to accompany her grandmother more, isn't it? ”

The second wife knew that Wanyue was right, but she was worried about it now, and she didn't have the heart to say more, so she only frowned and waved her hand, signaling Wanyue to go down.

Wan Yue lowered her eyebrows stupidly, blessed and turned to leave.

Even after receiving such a cold reception in front of the second wife, Wanyue was also calm, as if nothing happened.

When I went back to the room, I told the maid Xuemei to put down the curtain, and it happened that a gust of wind poured in through the window, and the frightened curtain fluttered up, blowing on the empty red glazed flowers, and fell smoothly.

Xuemei hurriedly walked over and covered the window lightly, while Wanyue sat on the soft stool without saying a word and began to embroider.

"Miss Six, this flower goose has been empty for several days, yesterday Qin's mother said that there are some new beautiful flowers in the house, if Miss needs it, the small one will ask Qin's mother to get it, go earlier, it will be more colorful."

Miss Six has always liked flowers and grasses, when the old lady placed the maid for Miss Six, Miss Six named two people, one is Xuemei, and the other is Lanzhu.

Even picking a maid is like this, which shows how much I love flowers.

But the second wife loves Miss Four even more, and often ignores Miss Six.

Miss Fourth doesn't like flowers very much, and the flowers in the room are never stopped, but Miss Six's flowers here are empty for a while. I didn't see a greeting from the second wife.

Miss Six is a gentle one and never fights. So I had to be reminded by her, who was a maid, otherwise the room would be even colder.

Wanyue listened to Xuemei's words silently. He stopped the needle and thread at hand, raised his head, but smiled gently: "You don't need the beautiful one, the magnolia or lily is good." ”

Xuemei was suddenly lost and opened her mouth to say something, but Wanyue had already lowered her head again and quietly embroidered flowers and birds.

Xuemei had no choice but to sigh and exit the room.

Lan Zhu, who was guarding outside the door, saw that Xuemei had gone away, so he came into the house and walked to Wanyue's side. He said in a calm voice: "Miss, I have already inquired, the eldest lady and the second lady are going to enter Beijing in two days, and there is really someone to accompany them." ”

Wanyue stopped the needlework in her hand, and without the silence of Fang Cai, she looked up at Lan Zhu nervously.

Lan Zhu leaned closer and said in a low voice, "This person is the third young lady." ”

Wanyue raised her eyebrows, a little surprised. But his eyes soon darkened, and he regained his calm.

"Last time, my mother had an accident in Beijing, and although my grandmother covered it up tightly on the surface, she still couldn't let go of it in her heart. I remember, it seems that a Bao Zhangzheng ...... was also invited," Wanyue said lightly, and a needle was pierced in the eye of the embroidered magpie.

Lan Zhu smiled. seemed to understand what Miss Six meant, and followed: "Isn't it?" It is rare in the house to invite someone from Si Tianjian. The old lady also specially instructed Steward Li to eat and drink well, and she must not be lazy. The mother-in-law is still chattering. said that the second wife is in charge of things, and even a small official of the seventh grade can receive such good hospitality in Jiang Mansion. ”

Wanyue's face was calm, her eyes never left the needle, and she asked slowly: "What about now, is the person gone?" ”

"Not yet...... Lan Zhu smiled even deeper.

Wanyue turned the embroidery needle in her hand and continued to bow her head to embroider: "Even my grandmother said that she would be treated, so you can't be lazy." ”

Lan Zhu nodded knowingly and stepped back lightly.

Wanyue hooked her lips and smiled secretly, this magpie plum blossom, she embroidered more and more smoothly.

In about half an hour, Xuemei came back with fresh lilies.

While carefully pruning the flower stems and branches with a flower knife, he said: "Miss, I went to fetch flowers at a young age, passing by the Rongde Hall, and listening to the little maids inside talking, saying that the second master is already on the way home." ”

Graceful but silent.

As she spoke, Xuemei had already fiddled with a few lilies, turned to look at Wanyue, who was immersed in embroidery, and asked with a smile: "Didn't the sixth lady embroider a bag before, but she wanted to give it to the second master?" The second master will definitely stay for a while when he returns home this time, and the sixth lady can ......"

"Who said I embroidered a bag?"

Wanyue suddenly spoke, so frightened that Xuemei hurriedly stopped her mouth, but after a closer look, Wanyue was not angry.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Xuemei, and said coldly: "What I embroidered is a sachet." Daddy is a big man, how can he wear these daughter's gadgets? This sachet is for the third sister. The third sister is concerned about her mother's cough, and I should also express it. ”

Xuemei shrank her head and sighed softly, not daring to say more.

Although Wanyue didn't blame her for being too talkative, she was scared enough just now.

When there is no wind coming in, the elegant lily fragrance will quickly disperse, making it more tranquil and warm.

Xuemei stood quietly aside, watching Wanyue do embroidery unhurriedly.

In the early morning of the next day, there was a cool breeze at the gate of Jiangfu.

The porter Lao Li shivered from the cold, and kept complaining in his heart about how he was so cold this day.

After boiling up for a while, I finally couldn't help but enter through the side door and wrapped myself in a thick cloth jacket.

When he hurried out again, he saw the dead leaves blowing off the ground outside the gate of the house, so he turned around and called a few capable servants and told them to quickly sweep away all the dead leaves.

If this is seen by the master, it will be terrible.

The three little men took their brooms and hurried out to sweep, but the wind kept blowing, as if against them, and the harder they swept, the harder it blew.

After some tossing, Rao is such a cold day, the three little guys are sweating.

A little guy quietly raised his eyes and looked at the porter Lao Li, who had been standing dryly, not only not sweating, but still shivering.

The little guy couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart, and was about to mumble a few words, when he suddenly heard the sound of wheels, and when he looked back, a carriage was coming this way without hurrying.

The little guy was stunned for a moment, and the other two also straightened up and looked over there.

It was Lao Li who reacted first, and hurriedly stepped forward and dragged them aside. Eagerly greeted the carriage.

Looking at the coachman, you can tell that it is the second master who has returned. Lao Li stepped forward with a smile.

The curtain of the car was lifted. The second old man came out of it with a short body, and he looked tired. didn't look at Lao Li, shook his clothes and walked to the door of the house.

Lao Li was still smiling, as if he was a smiling dummy, his round body followed behind the second master, and he didn't forget to make his eyes look hard when he walked past the small house.

The little ones hurriedly hid the brooms in their hands behind them, and these unclean things must not be seen by the second master.

But in fact, the second master didn't look this way at all.

Lao Li saw that the little guy was interested, so he was relieved. When he turned around, he saw that the second master was about to walk to the door, so he hurriedly bent forward and pushed it away.

Above the middle sill, four relief door hairpins engraved with "Fu Lu Shoude" are solemn. With a low sound, the door opened.

The second old man hurriedly walked inside, passed through the hall, walked into the verandah, and just turned the moon cave door, he was seen from a distance by the old lady waiting in the Rongde Hall.

The old lady was about to get up with her cane, and everyone understood, and they all stepped back into two rows, and looked out.

Middle. Mother Hu and the second wife helped the old lady to the door of Rongde Hall to greet the second master.

As soon as the second master saw the old lady, the tiredness on his face suddenly dissipated, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said with concern: "Mother, don't come." It's windy outside. ”

As he spoke, he had helped the old lady into the house.

The old lady sat down, and the second master raised the hem of his coat and sat down as well. A quick sweep of the people in the room. frowned and asked, "Why isn't Jingxuan here?" ”

The second wife smiled crampedly and explained softly: "Some time ago, Sister Xuan and Sister Xue were busy copying scriptures. I'm afraid I'm tired, I'm afraid I'm still washing in the house at this time. ”

The second wife immediately pulled Su Xue in. I wanted to imply that the second master Su Xue didn't understand the rules and didn't come, but the second master smiled after hearing it: "Su Xue also copied the scriptures?" That's great! ”

The second wife saw that she was self-defeating, so she had to smile dryly: "Yes, the children are sensible......"

The second old man nodded, looked at the old lady, and asked if the old lady had slept well recently. From beginning to end, he didn't raise his eyes to look at the second wife seriously.

The woman's mind is the most sensitive, and the second lady naturally noticed this, her face turned pale, she held back the tears in her eyes, and stood behind the old lady without speaking.

Last time, something like that happened in Beijing, although she had vigorously denied it, but how could the old lady and the second master be such stupid people? They all know it in their hearts, but they just don't talk about it.

That night, the second master and the old lady chatted for most of the night, and it was not difficult for the second wife to guess what they were talking about.

In the past ten years, no matter how well she has done, the second master has only treated her with the kindness of husband and wife, and there is no love between men and women. To the outside world, they all speak nicely and respect each other like guests.

So as long as the old lady is willing to grit her teeth and continue to accept her as a daughter-in-law, the second master will never object. It's like when the old lady came to the Cao family to say goodbye, the second master would not object.

Therefore, what happened to her, for the second master, it was a pimple at most.

It's as if the clothes you usually wear have been rubbed off by wild cats and dogs, and you feel uncomfortable, but you won't be too uncomfortable, as long as you throw it aside and don't wear it.

Now that they have children and daughters under their knees, something like this happened to her again, and I think the second master will not touch her again after coming and going.

The second wife actually had this realization in her heart, but she didn't think that the reality was even more cruel, and the second master didn't want to look at her anymore......

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and tears almost burst out of her eyes, but now there was a large group of people standing in the house, and the children and maids were all there, so she could only endure it.

The second old man talked to the old lady for a long time, and Mother Hu came to remind the old lady that it was time to set the meal, so everyone got up and walked to the main hall.

As soon as I stepped out of the door of Rongde Hall, I heard a noise, and following the sound, the fourth lady Jingxuan was hurrying over.

She looked very panicked, and her freshly combed bun was a little scattered, and while walking quickly, she whispered and scolded the maid who followed her to welcome the summer.

"Next time, I'll tear your mouth carefully!"

Jingxuan said it very quietly, but the second master and the others were standing at the door of Rongde Hall, and now it was too quiet, so they heard this sentence clearly. (To be continued......)
