Chapter 030: Contrast
Chen was raised by the third old lady since he was a child, and was raised as a formal room. Originally, he was going to marry Xie Yuanmao after the fifteenth year, but Xie Yuanmao refused to get married under the pretext that he was nervous about studying. The third old lady is not a biological mother, and some things are not easy to force, so she simply transferred a middle-looking maid beside her to his room to serve.
That person is now Aunt Lin.
She also urinated and followed the third old lady, and she was cowardly, so she was the best candidate in the eyes of the third old lady, so she was relieved to let her be Xie Yuanmao's roommate. After Xie Yuanmao returned, he raised her as a concubine. Also in Chen's eyes, this Aunt Lin was just a means she used to entrap Xie Yuanmao, so she didn't take it to heart. In his previous life, the Chen family successfully captured Xie Yuanmao's heart, and Aunt Lin was naturally thrown into the "cold palace". It wasn't until many years later that with the acquiescence of the third old lady, a concubine was born.
Xie Shuning looked at the beautiful woman in front of her who was wearing a plain embroidered vase pattern suede jacket and a pleated skirt with purple and dark flowers and plum patterns, and couldn't help but lose her mind slightly.
After the death of his mother in his previous life, the Chen family covered the sky with one hand in the mansion, and there were three old ladies on top of him. Even if she was picked up from the grange, her life was still not comfortable. Eating and wearing, this kind of thing on the surface, the Chen family will never treat her badly, but what about the rest? The maids and mothers-in-law in the house naturally knew that the Chen family didn't like her, so they didn't take her seriously. is sneering on weekdays, but he does a lot of things in front of him and behind his back. The person in the house who treated her sincerely at the beginning, all she could think of was indeed only Aunt Lin.
She was only eight years old at the time, and although she was precocious, she could not figure out everything.
Fortunately, there is an Aunt Lin here, and she will give her a few words whenever she meets her on weekdays. If she had something good at hand, Aunt Lin would be too busy to give it to her.
Although Aunt Lin is just a concubine, she has a friendship similar to that of a young husband and wife with Xie Yuanmao, and Xie Yuanmao is different from her others. Although it is in the way of Chen, he will occasionally give her some objects.
Thinking like this, Xie Shuning's thin eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.
Father's affection for Aunt Lin......
She missed it!
My father's temperament is a real headache. Since he wanted to be a filial son, he couldn't disobey the three old ladies, but he couldn't abandon his mother and their siblings, and the situation was difficult enough. But he still has a very affectionate Aunt Lin, which is not a good thing......
Xie Shuning gritted her teeth secretly, listening to Gui's mother's obviously displeased voice ringing in her ears: "Mrs. has not been summoned, who asked you to let people in?" ”
"The slave maid thought, this is Aunt Lin, not an outsider." Mrs. Zhou seemed to expect that Gui's mother would be troubled, so she continued without pause.
But it's okay if she doesn't say it, as soon as she says this, Mother Gui becomes more and more annoyed, and said coldly: "There is only one concubine, how can you be like the queen mother in heaven in your mouth, and you can't even wait for people to pass it on?" Mrs. Zhou, you can't even recognize the master? You don't look down on our Zhilanzhai, so you want to move the land? ”
Mrs. Zhou was stunned when she heard this, and she couldn't answer with her mouth open.
She didn't speak, and Aunt Lin, who was standing on the side, became more and more eye-catching. Aunt Lin seemed to be a little embarrassed, her body shrank back involuntarily, and her face showed a hint of panic.
Xie Shuning sighed silently in her heart.
In her memory, Aunt Lin was not a bold person. Now I come to see my mother, but I don't know why. Sighing, she was ready to open her mouth to appease Gui's mother, so it didn't hurt to let her mother see Aunt Lin before mentioning it.
In this world, no woman will be happy that her husband is surrounded by concubines. But Aunt Lin has been with Xie Yuanmao for many years, and her feelings are different, so there is no reason to send her away like this. So in the future, she will still be Xie Yuanmao's concubine, and she is also the person her mother has to face except for the Chen family. However, a concubine is just a concubine after all, unlike the current embarrassing status of the Chen family, if the mother can relax her heart, she doesn't have to care at all. Besides, it is not a bad thing that my father's concubine took the initiative to visit my mother.
She opened her mouth, "Gui ......"
I didn't want to shout a word, and I heard Aunt Lin standing opposite me say softly: "Mrs. I'm afraid she doesn't want to see me, but I'm abrupt." Mom, don't worry, I'll go. It's just that a few days ago, I heard the sixth master mention that I haven't been able to see my wife, and I feel uneasy, so I came here rashly today, and I don't mean anything else. Please also ask your mother not to blame Mrs. Zhou. ”
It sounded ashamed, but Xie Shuning's words that had already gathered on the tip of his tongue could never come out again.
If she was really just a child, not only was she not, but she was a person who had been in the inner house for many years.
Aunt Lin's words made her hear that something was wrong as soon as she heard it.
She wanted to go, but first emphasized that it was because her mother didn't want to see her. secondly, he deliberately pulled his father out, and inexplicably had a little more meaning of showing off his might. In the end, he lowered his posture to intercede for Mrs. Zhou, which was simply leaky!
Xie Shuning had already taken the foot towards Aunt Lin and quietly retracted it. She wanted to tell herself, maybe she was just thinking too much, and Aunt Lin's words didn't mean anything like that. But her intuition warned her again and again that this was far from being as simple as it seemed!
"Mrs. Zhou has done something wrong, and she will be punished, and please don't trespass, go back quickly." Gui's mother didn't give her a good look.
Aunt Lin had a little grievance between her eyebrows, smiled reluctantly, turned around and was about to leave.
Xie Shuning shouted suddenly: "Auntie, slow down, I and the nurse are about to give out a reward, since you are here, then you can also get a copy!" ”
"Huh?" Aunt Lin turned around in astonishment, and even changed her happy appearance to take the silver that Gui's mother reluctantly took out. When she saw the number, the originally happy smile on the corner of her lips couldn't help but stiffen, and she thanked her with difficulty before turning away.
Compared to the apricot eyes and snow skin of the Chen family and the Song family, Aunt Lin is not as good as the two of them, but she is better than the graceful body, walking in the wind and snow, there seems to be an inexplicable charm, which makes people reluctant to look away. Mother Gui took a closer look and couldn't help but scold in a low voice: "Prodigal hoof! All this money in vain! ”
Xie Shuning heard it, and her heart was depressed.
The first time they met in this life, she found that something was wrong with Aunt Lin. But why is it that in her memory, Aunt Lin is a very good person? Was she too sluggish in the past, or was she blinded by lard?
Taking a breath and raising her head, she found that Mrs. Zhou was staring at the money box in Gui's mother's arms, looking almost salivating.
Mother Gui sneered and said, "It's not yours yet." ”
Mrs. Zhou's face was scornful, and she nodded and said, "The old woman knows...... Know ......"
After saying that, he was busy and went back to guard the door.
Xie Shuning was thinking about her thoughts while gathering people with Gui's mother and rewarding the silver hair. Gui's mother began to beat everyone, but Xie Shuning didn't want to listen to it, so she simply went back to the inner room to find the Song family.
- But who knows, when she entered the door, she saw Song lying on the kang table and crying like a tearful person.
