Chapter 91: It's a pity
The eldest lady naturally heard the mystery in Mama Zhou's words, and swept away the previous boredom: "Oh? Is there something I don't know about? ”
Mama Zhou saw that the eldest lady was interested, and she felt that what she was doing in the Listening Rain Pavilion just now was really wise, but she didn't hurry to speak, but closed the door in the house tightly, and ordered Yurong to guard outside, then she turned around, lowered her voice and said: "Eldest lady, do you remember that some time ago, the old slave didn't ask the princess on the village to find a taste of spices, but I didn't expect to be found by her." ”
Hearing this, the eldest lady's eyes lit up, this spice is extremely difficult to find, but I didn't expect this princess to have some ability, and she really found it.
If there is this spice, it will be of great use to Wanqing in the future, Wanqing will definitely be a master in the future, but it is also destined to have many fights, and she has to plan for Wanqing in advance. If there are these spices, then Wanqing will not be passive even in the face of those who are higher than her, on the contrary, if any of them who want to hinder Wanqing, then don't think about having children.
There is a saying that a mother is valued by her son, and a woman who has no heirs, even if her status is noble?
When the eldest lady thought of the role that this spice could play in the future, her heart was even more eager.
But then I was a little worried, this spice belongs to the private affairs of the inner house, but it can't be taken on the surface, if it is detected, it is a matter of being spurned by the world, after all, this is a broken heir, and if it is discovered, it will be poked in the backbone for generations.
Thinking of this, the eldest lady couldn't sit still, stood up suddenly, only grabbed Mama Zhou's arm and asked, "Mama Zhou, you know that this matter is not sloppy at all, was that Mrs. Wang seen when she came?" Did you check to see if anyone noticed the spices she handed you? ”
Mama Zhou's arm was a little painful from the eldest lady's hand, but she didn't dare to shake off the eldest lady's hand, and hurriedly spoke out to comfort the eldest lady: "Eldest lady, don't worry, the slave maid is the princess who saw her outside the house, and the princess is in Zhuangzi all the year round, and these people in the mansion don't recognize it." To say that this princess is also a wonderful person, knowing that this spice is something that cannot be held on the surface, she actually placed the spice in a beautifully sewn sachet. ”
When the eldest lady heard Mama Zhou say this, she put down her heart just now, but she didn't let go of Mama Zhou's hand, and even deepened her strength: "Mama, I am naturally relieved that you are doing things, but I am afraid that I will be noticed by those who have a heart in the house." ”
Mama Zhou has been serving the eldest lady since she was a child, and knows that although the eldest lady's heart is ruthless, she is easy to be suspicious, so she is not dissatisfied because of the eldest lady's suspicions, but the arm grabbed by the eldest lady is a little painful and unbearable, so it is a little difficult to quietly pull out the arm, thinking about it, Mama Zhou's eyes rolled: "The eldest lady, you sit down first, listen to the old slave to tell you in detail, the old slave will pour you a cup of tea to moisten your throat, this is a busy day, you haven't even had time to take a sip of hot tea." ”
Hearing Mama Zhou say this, the eldest lady ironed in her heart, she was busy all day, but she was thirsty, and she was about to sit down, only to find that she was holding Mama Zhou's arm tightly because of excitement just now, and the eldest lady hurriedly let go of her hand and asked out loud: "Mama, I was in a hurry just now, did I scratch you?" Show me. ”
Mama Zhou heard the concern in the eldest lady's voice, and the trace of unhappiness caused by being scratched and hurting her arm disappeared, and she hurriedly stopped the hand that the eldest lady wanted to check, and comforted her: "Eldest lady, how can the old slave be so squeamish, besides, how much strength can you use, if it is not a good thing, you can quickly drink hot tea." After speaking, he hid the arm that the eldest lady had grabbed just now behind him. , the eldest lady had actually seen that Mama Zhou's sleeves were full of wrinkles when she grabbed her, which showed that she used her strength just now. couldn't help but feel a little red in her eyes, in this Li Mansion, I am afraid that Mama Zhou is the only one who really cares for her.
Picking up the hot tea at hand, I took a sip gently, and suddenly felt much more refreshed. At this time, the eldest lady was not as eager as just now, and after this quiet, the doctor found that this matter was a little strange, it is said that when Mama Zhou talked about this spice, she should take out the sachet.
The eldest lady drank a few sips of hot tea and felt a lot more comfortable, so she opened her mouth and continued to ask, "Where is Mama Zhou's spice now?" Ah, that's the sachet, but you're putting it on your body now? ”
Mama Zhou was a little apprehensive at the moment, she didn't expect the eldest lady to attach so much importance to that spice, if the eldest lady knew that the sachet was put in the second lady's room by her, would she think it was a bit of a waste?
But at this time, the matter had been done, and she had to tell the truth no matter what, and Mama Zhou immediately told her what she was doing in the Listening Rain Pavilion.
After finishing speaking, Mama Zhou paid attention to the eldest lady's expression, and sure enough, a touch of disappointment flashed on the eldest lady's face, although it was only for a moment, it was still noticed by Mama Zhou, who had been quietly staring at the eldest lady's application.
When the eldest lady heard Mama Zhou's words, she was a little disappointed in her heart, this spice is extremely difficult to find, and she also knew that it would not be so easy to find a copy and come back, but she didn't expect Mama Zhou to hide in Tingyu Pavilion without consulting her. Although she also wanted to teach this second girl a lesson, she felt that it was a pity to use this spice.
However, the eldest lady also knows that she can't express the dissatisfaction in her heart at this time, anyway, Mama Zhou is also an old man who has been with her for so many years, and Mama Zhou is also planning to do this for Wanqing.
"Well, that's fine, the second girl is very restless these days, and it's time to teach her a lesson. In this way, in the future, if she can't conceive an heir, she will not have to rely on our Li Mansion, and it will also be a help to Wanqing in the future. ”
Mama Zhou knew that the eldest lady had saved face for her, and did not reprimand her for this matter, and she was more and more grateful to the eldest lady for her kindness, and she also regretted making such a decision privately, but fortunately, the eldest lady did not blame her for overstepping the rules.
"Mama, is that Wang Po a reliable woman? Don't go wrong. ”
Mama Zhou was worried that she had no chance to make up for the opportunity to make a decision in private, and when she heard the eldest lady ask about the princess, she hurriedly reassured: "Mrs. Wang, you can rest assured, this princess is the mother-in-law who married us in the Zhou Mansion, and she was arranged on the Zhuangzi because of her ugly face, and her deed of sale is all here with Mrs. You, and her life and death are not a matter of the eldest lady's words." ”
After a pause, Mama Zhou continued: "Although there should be no problem with this princess, the old slave promised to let the son of the princess be a second shopkeeper in your dowry shop, and he signed a death deed. has her son's death contract, and she is not afraid of what she will do. ”
When the eldest lady heard Mama Zhou say this, she nodded with satisfaction, she was still very relieved about Mama Zhou's affairs.
Mama Zhou saw the laziness on the eldest lady's face, and knew that the eldest lady must be tired of tossing this day, so she opened her mouth to persuade: "The eldest lady, this day is enough to toss, the old slave will wait for you to take a nap, and when the old man comes back for dinner, you are up." ”
The eldest lady was a little tired, today's day, first Wanqing came to tell her that the design of the third aunt was not successful, I was afraid that it would involve Wanqing's body, and she was scared into a cold sweat, but fortunately, Hongliu and Chunmei had handles in her hands, so they didn't cause other troubles. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he made a fuss about the thieves breaking into the Li Mansion, and hurriedly searched the courtyards, but the thieves still escaped.
The eldest lady didn't make a sound, but nodded a little weakly, and agreed with Mama Zhou's suggestion, Mama Zhou hurriedly waited for the eldest lady to rest, and watched the eldest lady close her eyes, Mama Zhou called the little maid again and lit a requiem incense indoors.
It wasn't until she saw the eldest lady's tightly furrowed brows that she gradually relaxed, and her breathing became longer and evener, until the eldest lady was asleep, that Mama Zhou put her mind at ease and quietly retreated.
Furong Garden-Pujia Pavilion "Sister, what's going on?" Are you going to tell your mother? What did the mother say? This matter will not be noticed and it has something to do with us, right? Woo, what would we do if my father found out? Li Wanyun's face was full of panic, and her voice became intermittent because of choking, how could she have the appearance of Li Wanyun, who was not afraid of the ground that day in the past.
Li Wanqing was upset by Li Wanyun's crying, she was also frightened today, if the truth of this matter was really known by her grandmother, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her grandmother to favor her in the future.
She doesn't have her grandmother's impression of her, but seeing that she is about to be promoted, if she is apart from this matter, I am afraid it will be difficult to give it to a good person.
Thinking of this, Li Wanqing couldn't help but regret it for a while, and in her heart, she scolded Li Wanyun, who sowed discord and provoked her to deal with her second sister, thousands of times, how could she form an alliance with such a person who was not successful enough to do more than defeat, but now it is okay, she was not designed to be the second sister and the third aunt, but almost got into trouble.
Although the eldest lady had reassured her that this matter had been dealt with properly and would not involve her, Li Wanqing was still a little worried in her heart, and when she saw Li Wanyun crying in her ear, the boredom in her heart increased a little, but she couldn't tear her face with her at this moment, after all, there might be a time when she could be used in the future.
Holding back the disgust in her heart, Li Wanqing's face was full of concern as usual and said: "Fourth sister, let it go, my mother has already taken care of this matter, and my father and grandmother will definitely not know about our connection at this time." ”
