Chapter 3: Eccentricity
Liu Rong's heart warmed, but she stepped forward to hold Zhong and stop Zhong from getting up: "Mother, you think too much, no matter what, I am also Mrs. Tai's great-granddaughter, representing the face of Liu Mansion." Not to mention anything else, even for the sake of other girls in Liufu who want to leave the cabinet, it is impossible to casually allow me to be allowed to others. You can't panic because of a few casual words from a maid who can't get on the stage. ”
Zhong's hand holding the shirt was slightly loose, but it was still dragging, Liu Rong looked carefully, and showed a slightly mischievous smile at Zhong: "Don't talk about this, just your daughter will not die, she has become smart and clever, if something happens, it is not easy to solve, Rong'er is now, you are not afraid of something, you are afraid of nothing, you can rest assured!" ”
Saying that, Liu Rong reached out and took the clothes in Zhong's hand without waiting for Zhong to speak, and hung them aside again. Although she would be more relieved to have Zhong accompany her to see Mrs. Tai, since Mrs. Tai carried Aunt Liu, she would definitely not want to see Zhong, which would make Zhong come to Mrs. Tai for her, I am afraid that she will not be able to help her, but will also involve Zhong.
"You're clever." Zhong couldn't help but poke Liu Rong's forehead with his fingers, but there was a smile on his face, and he seemed to have some loss: "You have grown up." ”
"That's what my mother taught!" Liu Rong finished speaking with a smile before standing up: "Mother, I'll go to Mrs. Tai's first." ”
"Be careful." Zhong looked at Liu Rong fixedly.
Liu Rong smiled slightly, nodded heavily before turning to leave.
Liyuan
There was a heart-rending shout from the delivery room of the second grandmother, and then I don't know who knocked over the things, and there was a crisp sound, which made people feel uneasy.
The second master, who was waiting outside the door, had a tense face, and walked quickly to the delivery room, and saw Li's mother with a pale face and walked out in a panic.
"What's wrong?"
"Second grandma, second grandma's amniotic water broke ......"
"What about the kid?"
"Kid...... The child didn't come out ......."
"What are you doing standing there stupidly, why don't you go and ask for a doctor!"
Liu Rong left the residence, and walked quickly towards the main courtyard, after all, there was some delay before, but Liu Rong did not dare to waste time on the road, the ancient feudal family and the modern ancestors are full of care for the juniors, make a little mistake, and blur the difference. Here, the most intolerable thing is that juniors make mistakes, no, maybe it should be said that concubines are not allowed to make mistakes.
After passing through the long corridor, bypassing the plum garden rockery, and walking for about a cup of tea to arrive at the courtyard where Mrs. Detai lived, a lot of exercise calmed Liu Rong down, and the cold of this icy and snowy land was also lightened.
Outside the courtyard of Mrs. Tai, several maids rubbed their hands back and forth from a distance, stamped their feet around, and surrounded the outside of the main courtyard, but did not approach the house, which was obviously sent out by the masters.
Qiao'er was among them, but Qiao'er at this time was different from in her mother's room, but she was facing a middle-aged woman with a well-dressed smile on her face.
Liu Rong raised her eyebrows, but she lowered her speed and walked towards Mrs. Tai's house unhurriedly.
The middle-aged mother-in-law was sharp-eyed, and saw her appear at a glance, and did not continue to greet Qiao'er, but walked forward quickly: "But Sister Rong?" I am Mrs. Chen's mother, who is waiting by Mrs. Tai's side. ”
Liu Rong nodded, this lady is really indifferent to her as Zhong said, but even the people around her are not impressed by her, and she has to ask a question to confirm.
Seeing Liu Rong nodding, Mother Chen quickly spoke: "Hurry up and go in, Mrs. Tai has asked you three times back and forth." ”
Liu Rong nodded again at Chen's mother, and then followed Chen's mother into the house, the door opened, and there were three people sitting in the room.
In addition to the people who were sitting upright, I saw that behind the old man in the center, who looked very kind, there was a girl wearing a pink jacket and a butterfly red gold hairpin on her head, looking playful and cute.
It's just that the girl seemed to be a little nervous when she saw her, and her coquettish hand dragging the corner of the old woman's dark green embroidered auspicious cloud clothes unconsciously revealed a trace of green tendons, but even so, Liu Rong still noticed that the other party's eyes burst out of the moment she saw her, and the excitement that couldn't be concealed.
Liu Rong glanced at the others silently, and saw a woman in her thirties sitting on the left side of Mrs. Tai, with a serious expression on her face and no joy. On the right side of Mrs. Tai sat a young woman dressed in orange embroidered ink painting, smiling at Mrs. Tai, but when she saw her, her expression was naturally cold.
Liu Rong silently kept everyone's expressions in her heart, and then greeted Mrs. Tai, who looked very kind in the center: "Liu Rong has seen Mrs. Tai." ”
As soon as Liu Rong's words fell, she felt that the room was quiet for an instant, and even the sound of breathing was much quieter.
After a while, I heard a sharp voice sound: "Sister Rong, it's okay for you to enter the house with your mother and grandmother, what's the matter?" Did even the great-grandmother forget how to shout? How did Aunt Zhong teach, you shouldn't have promised Uncle Zhong to let Aunt Zhong take care of you. ”
The person who spoke was the woman in an orange jacket on the right side of Mrs. Tai, and I saw that her face was cold, and her eyes showed a trace of disgust without concealment.
Liu Rong frowned slightly, it seems that this is the Aunt Liu who has only heard her name but has never seen it, no, she should be called Grandma Liu now.
"What are you doing. will freak out the child. A kind and gentle voice sounded: "Come to Grandma Tai, how can you call Grandma Tai Mrs. Tai, seeing the outside like this is not the style of our Liu family." With this voice, Liu Rong saw a pair of wrinkled, but smooth-looking hands stretched out in front of her.
"Yes." Liu Rong obediently walked to Mrs. Tai's side, and the corner of her eye couldn't help but sweep to Mrs. Tai, and saw Mrs. Tai looking at her with a very peculiar look, and when she saw the most beautiful, she actually showed a satisfied smile.
"Grandma really didn't lie to me, Sister Rong'er's little appearance is indeed somewhat similar to Miss Jiu, but it's a pity that she is a little thinner, if her expression is a little more similar, it will be even better."
Seeing that Mrs. Tai kept looking at herself and said such words, Liu Rong's brows couldn't help frowning.
"Du Juan, go, take some jewelry out, this Sister Rong is too plain to dress, if she enters the palace draft, she must not let the grandmother in the palace feel that our Hou Mansion has not taken good care of this child."
Liu Rong raised her head violently, glanced at the smiling girl behind Mrs. Tai, then at Mrs. Tai, and then at the gloomy face of the eldest lady and the corners of the eldest grandmother's mouth with a sneer.
"Grandma Taizu, I'm afraid you're mistaken, the show girl who entered the palace draft is Aunt Jiu, not Rong'er." Liu Rong said quickly, then lowered her head again, her fingers rolled the corners of her clothes uneasily, looking timid.
It's just that there is no crampedness on the low face, a pair of apricot eyes keep turning, entering the palace draft This is the emperor's grace, if it is selected, it is naturally an opportunity to soar in the hearts of the ancients, but these people are giving such an opportunity to her The most unvalued person in this house, don't think about it, there must be something greasy in it, this matter must not be promised!
Mrs. Tai's brows tightened, as if she didn't expect Liu Rong to speak like this. The eldest lady looked at Liu Rong in slight surprise, but the eldest grandmother looked at Liu Rong's eyes with a trace of viciousness.
Liu Rong stood uneasily, as if she was afraid that others would not believe her, and timidly spoke again: "I really heard people in the house say that it is Aunt Nine who is going to enter the palace for the draft, and everyone says that with Aunt Nine's appearance, she is definitely a character who may become a concubine." ”
"You must have heard it wrong, this draft was originally decided, and you entered the palace for the draft, but you were not in good health at that time, so I didn't tell you. It's just that now that the day of the draft is near, I have to tell you. The girl standing behind Mrs. Tai hurriedly spoke.
"What the ninth girl said is, but if you want to enter the palace, you can't enter the palace like this, you are so cowardly, you have lost the bearing of the Hou Mansion, it just so happens that the house has invited the upbringing grandmother, you will live with the upbringing grandmother for a period of time before you enter the palace." Mrs. Tai pressed the girl's hand and said to Liu Rong as if giving alms.
Liu Rong saw all this in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, she didn't know why the nine girls avoided it so much, but don't do to others what they don't want, these people want to put the things they avoid on her so stubbornly, they are all the daughters of the Hou Mansion, but they treat her like this, how excessive is this!
Liu Rong raised her head and stood up: "What Mrs. Tai said is that I will lose the bearing of the Hou Mansion with such a appearance, but I don't know what kind of trouble the crime of bullying the king will bring to the Hou Mansion?" ”
Grandma Liu frowned: "What are you talking about, it's rare for grandmother to be gracious, and let you learn from your grandmother, how can you talk like this!" ”
The eldest lady on the side looked up at Liu Rong, and when she saw that Liu Rong was no longer the cowardly appearance she had before, her eyes flashed, but she showed a smile.
"My great-grandmother asked me to learn from my grandmother, and I am grateful, but some people don't know what Lu Dao said, and I can't agree to let my great-grandmother lose her evening and do things that are harmful to the Hou Mansion." Liu Rong looked at Grandma Liu, her voice was sonorous and powerful.
Sometimes, since it can't be stupid, you can only rush forward! And now in the face of Grandma Liu and her party, it is such a time.
"Mother, what Sister Rong said is not unreasonable, you can't be so used to Xuan'er anymore." The gentle and dignified voice sounded unhurriedly, Liu Rong couldn't help but look at the source of the sound, and saw the eldest lady smiling and nodding at her.
Hearing the words of the eldest lady, the ninth girl hurriedly looked at Mrs. Tai: "Grandma, don't enter the palace for Xuan'er, don't enter the palace for Xuan'er to die, now that the saint is over half a hundred years old, I heard that the health is still very bad, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid ......"
"Shut up! Is there something you can talk about in the holy world today? It's me who spoils you. Mrs. Tai frowned and interrupted the ninth girl's words.
"Grandma! If Xuan'er's temperament enters the palace, there will be no bones left to eat! Liu Xuan hurriedly changed her words, grabbed the corner of Mrs. Tai's clothes, and looked at Mrs. Tai pitifully.
Mrs. Tai looked at Liu Xuan's distressed brows and furrowed: "Although the palace asked the Hou Mansion to send her daughter into the palace, she never named her, I think Sister Rong has a good temperament, and she may be able to help the Hou Mansion go further when she enters the palace." ”
