Chapter 371: Little Year (Part II)
Cao Mansion, Shaoyuan.
After Cao Hao asked An to go out, Zhao Jia's depression was unstoppable, and he couldn't help but sigh. Although Cao Hao's rules and etiquette have arrived, it is just for the sake of being glamorous in front of people, and this son is not his own son to ask him to be obedient.
Now, in addition to Cao Hao, she complains more and more about Cao Song in her heart. This stupid son seems to have the same surname as his son, and he knows his brother's goodness, but he can't see the hardships of his mother.
Although she couldn't stay up, she was "sick" yesterday, stopped the medicine and soup, and ate food. But Chu Yu sympathized with her body and couldn't help being greasy, and ordered to send bird's nest porridge over in the morning and evening.
No, the maid Xicai over there in Wutong Garden sent bird's nest again.
In the Cao family, bird's nest is not a precious thing, even when it is in Jiangning, Zhaojia's family also often eats it. Now she is using the top-grade "blood bird's nest" in bird's nest, which is not available on the market at all, but it is much better than what she used before.
When Lao Taijun was alive, Zhao Jia's family had also seen this in the courtyard over there, and it was given by the emperor in Beijing. Now, eating this, she paid attention to it, so that the maid quietly inquired.
Sure enough, as guessed, this was sent by someone from King Chun's Mansion because Chu Yu was pregnant. Zhao Jia's cannibalistic mouth is short, and his complaints against Chu Yu are a little less.
It's not easy for women in the world, even if you are the lord of the county, don't you have to bother to serve your husband, and there is no room for error? Because the Zhaojia clan has been in charge for half of his life, and he has suffered badly because of the notoriety of "jealousy", he doesn't feel as obstructive as he did in the past when he looks at Chu Yu, who is connected to the same fate.
When Xicai went out, she leaned on the kang, ate the bird's nest, took a handkerchief from the placket, wiped her mouth, and said to the green chrysanthemum standing next to her: "I'm 'good', let your grandmother be 'good', it's unlucky to toss it for the New Year!" ”
Lu Ju responded in a low voice, and when Zhao Jiashi saw her like this, she sighed and said, "Those two old girls, what are you tossing now?" I directly picked your fault and slapped me in the face, and I was also annoyed. In the end, it depends on the grandmother's sake, she is now a double body, and I, as an aunt, can still make trouble with her at this time! ”
Lu Ju hesitated for a moment, and said to Zhao Jia's family: "Mrs., grandma, she is old, and she loves to visit the door, gossip, and gossip. The slave maid is her own grandson, although the two aunts taught her grandmother a lesson that day, but it was a matter of words! Don't worry about grandma's affairs...... Not to mention the uncle and grandmother, even the second master and the fourth master are here, I am afraid that they are also tired of grandma...... Grandma is also a seventy person, or she will be kind to her old age! didn't have to be for grandma, alienated the mother-son relationship between his wife and grandfather. ”
Zhao Jia's family saw that the green chrysanthemum had gone to the pearl on her head, and the clothes on her body had changed to plain, and she said these words again, she really loved it tightly. has been without a husband for the past two years, and she has a hard time. The sons are not sensible, the eldest daughter is married, and the second daughter is too young, but the green chrysanthemum serves her wholeheartedly.
Zhao Jia's family was already looking at Mama Zhang's affection, and when she was not with everyone, she liked her more and more when she saw her so down-to-earth.
Those pearl and green clothes are all rewarded by the Zhaojia family. Green chrysanthemum was afraid of swagger, so she didn't wear it. Zhao Jia's family saw that the maid in Wutong Garden was decent, and he was afraid that his side would be compared, so he put the green chrysanthemum on it.
This time, Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang had a green chrysanthemum, and Zhao Jia's knew that it was not the fault of the green chrysanthemum, but she couldn't wipe her face and said that it was her own sake, so it turned out that she was still a little ridiculous.
Listening to Lu Ju's completely selfless and selfless words, Zhao Jia's family made up his mind more and more. She stretched out her hand, called Lu Ju to the side of the kang, took her hand and said, "Good boy, it's really rare that I love you in vain!" Your grandmother is my nurse, your mother is my nurse, and you call me aunt and sister. Now, you have no old lady, follow me, and you can still be so loyal, even this heart will bless you with a good landing! ”
The front of these words is fine, but the latter words are not something that the girl's family can hear, and the green chrysanthemum blushed, lowered her head and did not speak.
The more Zhao Jia's family looked at it, the more she loved it, and she remembered that her niece was good-looking, but the young lady's temper was really arrogant.
With such a dignified appearance of green chrysanthemum, if you change your background, let alone a concubine, even the main house will also make it. Cao Song is a reckless guy who needs to have such a proper person by his side.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jia's family thought of the jade dragon and jade spider who were waiting in Huaiyuan now, and couldn't help frowning. These two are really bold, she has only been sick for two days, so dare not make rules for her here?
*Huaiyuan, wings.
Looking at the scene in front of her, the jade dragon's face turned pale, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak. The jade spider opened her arms, her face was full of tears, grabbed the jade dragon's arm, and cried and begged: "Good sister, this time you really want to save my sister, second wife...... Second wife, she will make someone beat her sister to death......"
The jade dragon's brain couldn't turn for a while, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is this?" My sister is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the second master, why did the second wife beat my sister to death! ”
Although she has never been pregnant, because there have been several pregnant women in Cao Mansion in recent years, Jade Dragon also knows a little about these. The jade spider is petite and thin, and she was wrapped in a belly and wore wide clothes before, so she did not show her pregnancy. I untied my clothes and removed the wrapped cloth, and my belly was bulging, and it looked like it would take five or six months.
I heard the jade spider crying and said: "The second master is in the filial piety period, and giving birth to a child will damage his reputation and not to mention, the grandmother who is going to enter the door is the niece of the second wife, so naturally she doesn't want to have a child out of her way!" ”
Jade Dragonfly took out a handkerchief, pulled Jade Spider to sit on the kang, and wiped her tears while saying, "Since my sister knows, why do you still hide it quietly?" If the belly is smaller, it is just a pair of medicines; Now that she is so old, if the second wife is not allowed to give birth, won't she want her life? ”
Jade Spider was also really scared in her heart, tears flowed down her eyes, and she cried: "Good sister, haven't you seen the second wife's thoughts? People like us are not as good as cats and dogs in her eyes! My sister also asked people to inquire why the second wife attacked us when she entered the house and poured us ...... Pour that soup...... It's all the old immortal surnamed Zhang! Her granddaughter is the green chrysanthemum next to the second wife, she coaxed the second wife to clean us up, just to make room for her granddaughter! Speaking of this, I couldn't help gritting my teeth and said: "I heard that the second wife sold us at the beginning, and the second wife was afraid of the second master's face and didn't want the mother and son to have a share, so she kept us; She also mentioned the matter of the eldest son, afraid that we would have a child in advance...... If I go like this, if I get through this hurdle, there will always be a way to clean up the old immortal revenge, and then she will definitely die a good death! ”
In the end, the jade spider looked hideous, and looked very scared.
Seeing her so resentful, Jade Dragon hurriedly persuaded: "Sister is cautious, if you have children, it is not appropriate to talk about this!" ”
When the jade spider heard this, her face immediately softened, she lowered her head, looked at her stomach, and gently rubbed it with her hand, her tears flowed like water, and she couldn't stop it.
Although Jade Dragonfly felt a little uncomfortable about hiding it from her for a long time, it was not the time to talk about it now. Seeing that the jade spider was sad to become like this, the jade dragon also felt sad and said, "Since my sister has left the child, you must think more about the child, don't cry and hurt your eyes." Let's beg the second master to go, this is the second master's own flesh and blood, even if the second wife is annoyed, the second master will not give up this child! ”
Jade Spider shook her head and said, "Silly sister, even if the second master can protect it for a while, can he still protect the child until he is born?" If the second wife asks someone to pour medicine, how can she pick the second master's kung fu? ”
Seeing her crying so pitifully, Jade Dragon couldn't help but cry too, sobbing and saying, "What should I do then?" My sister's belly is so big, if she really drinks medicine, let alone a child, even my sister's surname is difficult to protect! ”
The jade spider raised her little face, grabbed the jade dragon's hand, and said, "That's why I asked my sister to save my sister!" As he spoke, he got up and knelt down.
Where will the jade dragon suffer, and she hurriedly supported her: "Sister has something to say, just say, let's enter the house together, and we have been waiting for the second master together over the years, can my sister help or not?" ”
Jade Spider reached out and wiped the tears on her face and asked, "Really?" ”
Seeing her so unhappy, Jade Dragon was also a little annoyed, and said, "If my sister doesn't believe it, don't say it!" ”
Jade Spider hurriedly said: "I said I said...... My sister begged my sister and helped me beg my grandmother...... In this Manchurian Mansion, she is the only one who can protect me...... My sister was confused and did something wrong, which made the eldest grandmother and the amethyst girl hate me. My sister is different, I have watched it in the past few years, and they treat my sister with a little sincerity! ”
When Jade Dragonfly heard this, she couldn't help frowning, Zhao Jia's and Mama Zhang were suddenly "sick" this time, and there were some arguments in the house. Besides, the eldest grandmother is from the long house, and there is no reason to meddle in the housework of the second room.
Seeing her like this, Jade Spider said: "The uncle loves the second master the most, and the eldest grandmother is like a brother to the second master." Although my sister is an eyesore, but they look at the face of the second master, plus the younger sister helps the sister to intercede, the eldest grandmother is kind, and she will definitely follow! Good sister, you have already drunk the medicine of the second wife, and you will not have any children of your own in the future. My sister's child is your child. If God blesses him, he can pull Chengren and tell him to be filial to you! ”
The words in front were nothing, but when they heard the back, the jade dragon's face was pale. Over the years, she has been looking forward to having a child all the time, and she still thinks that it is best to wait for her grandmother to enter the door and give birth to a daughter. Don't talk to your mother, it won't hinder your grandmother's eyes.
How many times, she couldn't move when she saw the child, and her favorite place in the house was Grandma Tian's yard. Now, there is no hope.
The jade dragon looked at the jade spider like the pear blossom with rain, and then looked at her belly, only to feel that she was so strange. She stood up, turned around, no longer looked at the jade spider, and asked in a low voice, "If you really think of me as a sister, why did you go to great lengths to hide it for six months?" In the past six months, in addition to the second wife, you have also guarded against me, right? ”
Jade Spider didn't expect her to say this, so she blushed and confessed: "My sister misunderstood, how could my sister mean this?" It's just that...... It's just that ......" in a hurry, she couldn't find a suitable excuse, and after a pause, she said, "...... It's just that my sister is honest, my sister is afraid that you will be coaxed and say ......"
Jade Dragonfly turned her head and said with a wry smile: "Coaxed, not coaxed?" My sister has long thought about getting my sister to come forward, right? ”
The jade spider was hit by her, and she was speechless in a daze, her face became more and more ugly, and there was a bit of despair in her eyes.
Jade Dragonfly glanced at her belly, and finally couldn't bear it, and sighed: "Sister, don't worry, my sister is going to ask for grandma!" After saying that, he didn't stop long, and walked out of the house quickly.
The jade spider was weak, sat on the kang, grabbed the placket, and cried silently.
The jade dragon came out of the house, and was blown by the wind, only to feel cold on his face. She reached out and touched it, but she didn't know when she burst into tears.
She was afraid of being seen out, so she was so busy that she wiped her face in her room before leaving the Huaiyuan and going to Wutong Garden.
When passing by the Peony Courtyard, the jade dragon remembered that he had tripped over the jade spider and had not yet loaded the cigarette pouch for Zhaojia's family. After hesitating at the door, she went to the Sycamore Garden first. Otherwise, when she arrived at the Peony Courtyard, the second wife would think of the jade spider again, and let people pass it on, which would be amazing.
When he arrived at Wutong Garden, Chu Yu was not there, only Xiyun took a little maid to watch the house.
"Grandma is going to the yard of the second wife?" Seeing that Chu Yu was not there, Jade Dragon asked.
In the half year that Zhao Jia's family entered Beijing, they restrained the jade dragons and jade spiders, and rarely came to Wutong Garden.
Seeing the jade spider coming over today, Xiyun felt strange, so he hurriedly sat in the house, and replied: "Gege went to Grandma Tian's yard with the uncle, and today it is the life sacrifice of the father of the two young masters." In the morning, he sent the kitchen to send the offering table, and after the uncle came back from the yamen, the two changed their clothes and went to worship! ”
Jade Dragonfly whispered: "Since this is the case, I will wait for the eldest grandmother, and I have something to ask for!" ”
Xiyun sent candied melon seeds and said with a smile: "Look at you, you haven't been here for half a year, but you're like a guest?" It is said that the second wife can regulate people, but I didn't see anything else, but I trained you to be a little daughter-in-law! ”
The jade dragon didn't answer, so she smiled and grabbed a few melon seeds, thinking about how to ask the grandmother......
