Chapter Twenty-Eight: Aunt Lan
The Minghua Garden where the Jian'an Bo Shizi and his wife live is spacious and bright, and one corner is divided into a small courtyard, where the biological mother of the three girls, Aunt Lan, lives.
Aunt Lan gave birth to her eldest daughter after the eldest lady Jiang gave birth to her eldest daughter, and her stomach did not move for a long time, and she was allocated by the old lady to the son, who was originally the girl who served the old lady.
Although she is a beauty, Shizi did not show too much attention, and has been quietly staying in the courtyard, giving the impression that she is responsible and low-key.
Today, he uncharacteristically rushed to the front of the main house of Minghuayuan, kneeling on the bluestone steps against the high sun.
The big girl carved the curtain and walked out: "Aunt Lan, please go back, Mrs. Shizi is still on the council." ”
Aunt Lan straightened her body and said unmoved: "Please tell Madame the girl of the carving fence, the concubine is waiting here." ”
"Aunt Lan is embarrassing the maid, and when the lady is on the council, she never likes to be disturbed."
A girl in an apricot shirt walked out and said to the carving column: "Sister carving the fence, there is a little girl who wants to get something, looking for you." ”
As he spoke, he walked down the steps to pull the carved railing, glanced at Aunt Lan at the end of his eyes, and hummed softly in a low voice: "I really don't know what to say, an aunt from a girl's background, she didn't have anything to do to hinder Madame's eyes!" ”
The two girls went in hand in hand, leaving only Aunt Lan kneeling under the sun, staring at the shaking crystal curtain with an inexplicable expression.
It was just a stick of incense, and a deep voice sounded: "Lan Niang, why are you kneeling here?" ”
Uncle Jian'an appeared in the courtyard at some point, looking at the slender woman with crows and black temples, broken hair soaked with sweat and sticking to her forehead, a touch of pity flashed in the depths of her eyes.
The carved fence hurriedly walked out: "Lord Shizi, you are back." ”
"Where's Madame?" Zhen Jianwen, the son of Jian'an, had a faint voice, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.
The carved fence glanced at Aunt Lan, who was kneeling more and more straight, without a trace, and scolded in her heart, how can you be so dignified, the prince will come back at this time.
Aunt Lan raised her face slightly, her cheeks became rosy from the sun, lining her weak temperament, and there was a contradictory beauty: "Lord Shizi, no...... Don't blame the lady, it's all concubines......"
Without waiting for Zhen Jianwen to speak, the carving column was deeply blessed, and said decisively: "Back to the world, it's all the maid's fault, just now Aunt Lan knelt in the courtyard when she came, saying that she wanted to see Mrs. You know, Madame is on the board at this time of the day, and she never likes to be disturbed. The servant made his own opinion, and did not go to the court for Aunt Lan, if you want to be punished, punish the servant......"
As soon as the crystal curtain was lifted, Jiang Shi walked out, as if he had just discovered the situation in the courtyard, frowned and asked, "What's the matter, uh, Lord Shizi, why did you come back at this time?" ”
"Uh, come back and get something." Zhen Jianwen didn't seem to want to say more on this issue, and he didn't look at Aunt Lan, "If you have something, deal with it first, I'll go to the study first." ”
Looking at the back of Zhen Jianwen's striding meteor away, Jiang hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and then said unhurriedly: "Aunt Lan came here with such a big sun, what is it for?" ”
Aunt Lan did not show grievances on her face because the son was gone, and said respectfully: "Madam, the concubine heard that the third girl can't attend tomorrow's daughter's meeting, but is it serious?" ”
The eldest lady smiled: "Jing Ya's head is infected with the wind and cold, of course, it is important to maintain her body." ”
"But—"
"Alright, I've already told the old lady about this. Aunt Lan, you are Jing Yatou's biological mother, if you are worried, go and see her, she is sick and can't get better immediately, it's useless to ask me. ”
Aunt Lan lowered her head, her fists hidden in her sleeves and clenched tightly: "Yes, the concubine knows it." ”
There was silence in Xie Yan Pavilion, and when Aunt Lan was invited in, she saw the third girl, Zhen Jing, sitting on the couch, looking a little blank, and when she saw her come in, she didn't say a word.
"Go down, all of you." Aunt Lan waved away the maid who was waiting in the house, and then strode over and hugged Zhen Jing, "Jing'er, Auntie is sorry for you!" ”
The daughter's meeting of the Qixi Festival of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been respected to a certain height by the world, especially the little lady who is about to get married, this is the last opportunity for them to participate in the daughter's meeting, and they cherish it very much.
Zhen Jing's eyelashes were very long, trembling like a small fan, and she looked at Aunt Lan and smiled: "Auntie, what do you mean by saying this." ”
Don't look over your head when you're done.
Aunt Lan, who didn't change her face under the big sun, turned pale this time: "Jing'er, you, are you a strange aunt?" ”
Zhen Jing turned sideways and remained silent.
Aunt Lan squeezed Zhen Jing's hand and hissed: "Jing'er, do you know how distressed Aunt Lu is when she looks at you crying every day because of the yellow family business!" Several times, the handkerchief you pulled was broken, but you couldn't help the dead girl in the third room, you can't see it as an aunt? My aunt knew that you hated her! ”
Zhen Jing finally turned around, looked at Aunt Lan, whose eyes were red, and sighed: "So, are you going to change it to embroidery thread soaked in blood and saffron?" Don't you know that this will hurt the eldest grandmother and the second sister? ”
"Jing'er! What are you talking about? They were all three-roomed, and they were all close to the dead girl. Now one of them is going to give birth to the eldest son, and the other is going to marry into the Shilang Mansion, but you, you are going to marry a small family! ”
"But they, after all, are innocent."
"Innocent? What about you, Jing'er, how did your family affairs get dismissed, have you forgotten? If you want to say that you are really innocent, it is you! Aunt Lan's face was a little distorted.
"Auntie......" Zhen Jing looked at her in a daze, in her impression, her aunt has always been weak and kind, and this kind of look rarely appears.
She didn't expect that her aunt would do such a thing, seeing that the eldest lady was about to find out about her aunt's head, and the aunt was facing a big disaster.
And she, a girl who is about to leave the cabinet, admits this matter, no matter how much she is punished, it is just a grounding.
Aunt Lan also secretly regretted that she only cared about pretending to be gentle and virtuous in the past, so that her daughter became like this, bit her lip and said: "Jing'er, you are really a stupid girl, why do you want to admit this matter for your aunt, that is, my wife found out about my head, and my aunt didn't admit it, she didn't catch it, and she couldn't help my aunt." ”
"But Madame will find witnesses......"
Aunt Lan sneered: "Silly girl, what is a human witness, it's just a matter of whether the master believes it or not." ”
"Madame will believe it."
The corners of Aunt Lan's mouth curved into a strange arc, and she said word by word: "But your father, you won't believe it......"
Aunt Lan sat on the edge of the couch and told Zhen Jing countless experiences, and Zhen Jing's face kept changing.
It wasn't until a maid came over and said that Uncle Jian'an went to the small cross courtyard and ordered Aunt Lan to serve, so Aunt Lan patted Zhen Jing's shoulder and walked away.
Only Zhen Jingdry was left to sit in the middle of the night, thinking about Aunt Lan's words, but the next day she got the news that she could go out for half a day and go to her daughter's meeting.
