Aunt Hu woke up like a dream, leaned down and picked up the letterhead in a panic, and looked at her henchman's eyes with a bit of wolf: "What did Mama see?" β
The henchman's heart trembled, and she grinned: "Madam, how can the old slave know a few words, and his eyes are dazzled." The old slave looked, there were not many words on the letter, is the second young master too busy with his homework? Don't be angry, ma'amβ"
Aunt Hu breathed a sigh of relief, but the piercing feeling was like a wave, hitting her wave after wave, almost overwhelming her, and she waved her hand tiredly: "Mama, you stand down, let me be alone for a while." β
The henchman wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed quietly in the bottom of her heart and went out lightly.
When the door closed, Aunt Hu suddenly lost her strength, pinched the letter and collapsed on the bed.
At this moment when there was no one else, her weakness was revealed, and she grabbed the bedpost with one hand, and tears fell down her other hand, which was on her knee, and the letterhead she was holding in her hand was wet.
The handwriting on the letter was blurred, she gritted her teeth, and spread it out a little bit, there were only four short words on the letter, but the words were heartfelt: "Where is my brother-in-law?" β
Although the handwriting is still a little green, it already has a bit of a pine style, far stronger than most of his peers. This is what has always made Aunt Hu proud, but at this time, it is so ironic.
Qi Ge'er is asking, my sister is already a concubine. So where did he come from, brother-in-law?
"No wonder, no wonder ......"
Aunt Hu's heart ached, but she finally suddenly realized, why did she go to pick up Qi Ge'er three times and twice, Qi Ge'er never came, it turned out that the younger brother who was once so attached to her and loved her was looked down on by him from the moment she decided to follow her master into Beijing.
He, how could he!
Aunt Hu slammed the bedpost. It's unwilling again. I was annoyed again, and I flashed in my mind like a blur of getting along with Qi Ge'er.
Qi Ge'er said: "Eldest sister, Qi Ge'er will study hard and will have a reputation in the future." Will I just earn you a fate? β
"Fool. The eldest sister is not a girl from an official family, and she also knows. The orders are all earned for the mother and wife, how can there be earned for the eldest sister? β
Qi Ge'er replied to her seriously: "Didn't you say that the eldest sister is like a mother." If it really doesn't work, I want Qi Ge'er's future wife to give up her life to the eldest sister. β
"Aren't you afraid that your daughter-in-law will be angry with you?"
"No, the eldest sister brought up Qi Ge'er, and Qi Ge'er will tell her well. In the future, when Qi Ge'er has a son, let him study hard, so that you all have a fate. β
Fairy tales, how warm they are when they recall, how prickly they are in reality.
"Brother Qi, the eldest sister has become a concubine, so you can't look down on it like this? Why don't you understand the hard work of the eldest sister! Aunt Hu cried and laughed, and finally went a little crazy, hitting the pillar with her forehead, and there was a bang.
The henchman who was guarding the door couldn't rest assured, and when she heard the movement, she hurriedly rushed in, stepped forward and hugged Aunt Hu, and shouted in a panic: "Madam, why are you suffering, why are you suffering!" β
Aunt Hu's mother-in-law finally collapsed, hugging her henchman and crying bitterly.
The henchman's eyes caught a glimpse of the lonely letterhead that fell on the ground, and sighed in her heart, the second young master has read the books of sages since he was a child, and those bad things have been blocked out by his wife.
However, if she wants to tell the truth, it is really wrong for my wife to come to the capital.
"Mama, you say, am I really wrong?"
The henchman hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, let's go back to Baoling-"
"Go back?" Aunt Hu's voice became sharp, "It's all come to this, you say go back?" Mama, look at it, when the Qi family dies, the master no longer has to abide by the rules of wives and concubines, and we will get better and better here. Even for Brother Zhang, I can't go back! β
She gritted her teeth and seemed to be ruthless: "As for Qi Ge'er, he is young and doesn't understand me for a while, and there are some who don't understand me for a while." In the future, he will understand......"
Speaking of this, Aunt Hu was a little shaken, but she quickly waved the slightest wavering, and her voice was low: "Since God is going to accept Qi's life, what we have to do is wait." Now let me give up, either crazy or stupid! β
The henchman didn't dare to say anything, but she agreed and sighed in her heart.
"Madam, Mrs. Zhang is waiting outside to see you." A-Xing shouted through the curtain.
Aunt Hu touched her cheeks, she had just cried, her face was still wet, and when she saw that it was getting late, she said: "I'm tired of traveling and tired, you go and tell Mrs. Zhang, let's go and rest directly, and come to see me early tomorrow morning." β
"Yes."
On the second day, Aunt Hu cleaned up, although she didn't sleep well because of Qi Ge'er's letter, but because she made up her mind, her spirit was not bad, and she specially picked a pomegranate silk hairpin from the jewelry box and put it on her sideburns.
"The old slave has asked his wife to say goodbye." An old woman in an indigo cotton jacket knelt down tremblingly.
She has no ornaments on her body, only an old silver hairpin is inserted on her head, her hair is meticulously combed, her clothes are clean and smooth, and she looks like a neat person, but her legs and feet are a little inconvenient between her movements, showing a little old.
Aunt Hu hurriedly got up to help: "Mother Zhang, get up quickly." β
She raised her voice and said, "A-Xing, quickly move a small pestle." β
Waiting for Mrs. Zhang to sit down, the master and servant exchanged a few words, and Aunt Hu asked: "Mother Zhang looks at my face, I have been recuperating according to the recipe you said recently, but I feel that my body is much lighter, but I have not movedββ"
Since calling the Guogong Mansion, although there are also imperial doctors who regularly come to diagnose the pulse of peace, Aunt Hu still believes in the old woman in front of her.
It's not that this old woman is smarter than the imperial doctor, but she can't rest assured. This huge Guogong Mansion, she has just arrived. I have to be careful everywhere, otherwise if I am quietly harmed by the Qi family, I am afraid I don't know yet.
What is more important to a woman than a body that can be born and nurtured.
Mrs. Zhang opened her cloudy eyes, looked at Aunt Hu carefully, and smiled: "Mrs. has a ruddy complexion, and her complexion looks better than before, presumably the master is very considerate to his wife, right?" β
Although this question was implicit, Aunt Hu understood what Mrs. Zhang meant.
In the past six months, the old man has rested in her house a lot of times. Naturally, the matter of husband and wife is indispensable.
Rao is spicy and refreshing on weekdays. At this time, he also blushed and snorted: "The master has always been good......"
She subconsciously pinched the delicate sachet of the pisces playing lotus hanging from her waist, and her face was even more red.
Mrs. Zhang's gaze then fell, stopping on the sachet. Suddenly stunned.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang's expression was different. Aunt Hu asked, "Mother Zhang." What's wrong? β
"Mrs. sachet, can you show it to the old slave?"
This request was abrupt, and Aunt Hu didn't react for a while. After being stunned for a moment, he took off the sachet and handed it over, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" β
Mrs. Zhang did not answer, but put the sachet on the tip of her nose, sniffed deeply, her face became more and more heavy, and then she untied the sachet and poured the spices inside into her hand.
"Mother Zhang!" Aunt Hu was anxious and angry.
This incense was bought to her by the master himself, it is a proof of her special status in his mind, and it is also a sustenance for her when she is depressed.
But soon, Aunt Hu was stunned by Mrs. Zhang's solemn look, and stared at her movements.
Mrs. Zhang scraped off some of the incense with her fingernails, twisted it on her fingertips, and then put it on her nose and smelled it for a long time, and then stretched out her tongue and licked it.
"Mother Zhang?"
Aunt Hu's heart gradually sank: "This incense ...... What's wrong? β
After asking this sentence, her heart hung high, as if she was hanging on a cliff, just waiting for an answer, she could fall to pieces.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Aunt Hu deeply and said, "Where did Mrs. come from this incense, it's best not to use it in the future." The old slave tasted it, and it seemed that there was a contraceptive drug in it. β
With a bang, when Aunt Hu returned her hand, she accidentally swept away the teacup on the high table, and the teacup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
Aunt Hu's eyes widened, the warm liquid gushed out uncontrollably, she bit her lip to prevent tears from falling, and her whole body began to tremble, and she was finally able to make a sound: "This fragrance...... The ...... that is divided from the public"
Her voice raised: "A-Xing, send Mother Zhang to rest first." β
When the people left, only the confidant mother-in-law was left, Aunt Hu couldn't help it anymore, and cried bitterly by tugging at her clothes.
"Madam, ma'am, why are you doing this?" The henchman gently patted Aunt Hu's back.
"Mama, I don't believe it, I don't believe that the master will do this to me!" She Huo Ran raised her head, her face was as white as a ghost, and she no longer looked like she was delicate and fresh just now, "Mother Zhang must have smelled it wrong, right?" β
Seeing the expression of her henchman, she kept shaking her head: "It's Qi's, it must be Qi's who has done something with the spices that the master gave me!" β
"Wake up, ma'am!" The henchman was distressed, but it was the first time that she saw the man's persistence and bottom line.
No matter how much you love your aunt, your wife is a wife after all, and a concubine is a concubine after all, and your wife has lost completely from the moment she decided to enter Beijing.
"Mama, you can go out too." Aunt Hu looked blank and waved her hand.
"Madameβ"
"Don't worry, the people who come over with strong winds and waves will not be crushed, you can help me take care of Brother Zhang'er, I just want to be alone and think about it now."
The henchman withdrew, and Aunt Hu sat in front of the dresser, sitting all night, seeing with her own eyes the woman's face in the mirror gradually haggard, almost a few years old overnight, before finally sighing and laughing at herself: "I thought that this hand would win or lose half, but I didn't expect that from the moment I caught it, I had already lost." The ending is nothing more than losing less, or losing more miserably......"
