Chapter 45: A gift from the second aunt
You know, this didn't happen in a previous life.
However, Qin Huaiyu thought about it and figured it out, it was Wang Wanqing who accompanied her to the plum blossom banquet in her previous life, but she was not the second aunt, and she wanted to come to the second aunt to repay the peach.
She wrote down this love, and after thanking Qin Hongyao, she asked the maid to prepare a gift for the second aunt.
The so-called exchange of courtesies and friendship is slowly cultivated in this way.
Seeing that Qin Huaiyu was about to send something, Qin Hongyao suddenly waved her hand and said, "Big sister, no need, my mother said it, it is not a valuable thing, just don't dislike it." ”
Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu responded with a smile: "The second aunt's heart is so precious, how can I dislike it." ”
When I said this, I saw the maids come in and say that the meal had been prepared.
Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu instructed Jinshu to put away his clothes, and he took Qin Hongyao's hand to eat.
In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Huaiyu ordered the maids to prepare gifts and send them to the second room, Liu Yueniang saw that Qin Huaiyu had a heart, and listened to her daughter talk about how good the eldest sister was all afternoon, and she had a better impression of this concubine in the long room, but she was a little sincerely concerned.
Originally, Liu Yueniang sent clothes, although she didn't carry people on her back, but she didn't publicize it, but in this huge plain Hou Mansion, the news was the easiest to spread, so by the evening of the same day, most people knew about it.
Early in the morning of the second day, when she went to greet Mrs. Qin, Qin Huaiyu saw that Liu Yueniang's face was a little haggard, and Qin Hongyao's eyes were also a little red, as if she had just cried.
She came late, and the room was almost full of people. The third aunt Zhang Jingui lowered her head, faintly gloating, and Bai Ning'er, the concubine in the second room, stood aside with a look of uneasiness. Even Wang Wanqing's expression was a little irrelevant.
She was surprised in her heart, but her face was not revealed, and she said dignifiedly: "Say hello to grandmother." ”
Seeing her coming, Old Madam Qin nodded lightly, and continued to look at Liu Yueniang and said, "Since you are your mother-in-law, you should have a bowl of water, so you don't have to turn around and ask people to find faults, saying that our Plains Hou Mansion is harsh on the concubine, and it is like saying that it will be spread out?"
Liu Yueniang still hung her head, and when she heard this, she responded respectfully: "Sister Miao's clothes, my daughter-in-law asked someone to cut them earlier, but I didn't fit them well before, so I took them back and repaired them, and I can send them in the afternoon." ”
When she said this, she paused, and continued to laugh: "But what my mother taught me is that my daughter-in-law should have a bowl of water, and she will definitely not be next time." ”
When Old Madam Qin heard this, she nodded and said, "You know the best, the men work hard outside on weekdays, and you can't help at home, so be honest." This husband and wife are prosperous, and there is a fire in the backyard, will you be better?"
No matter what she said, Liu Yueniang just bowed her head and agreed, without half an expression in her expression.
Qin Hongyao on the side was so angry that her eyes were red, and she wanted to open her mouth several times, but Liu Yueniang secretly held her down and pinched her. She bit her lip unwillingly, but she didn't dare to speak out.
After Mrs. Qin finished speaking to her, she glanced back at Bai Ning'er and said, "And you, since you are a concubine, you should do your duty as a concubine, if I find out that you are instigating again, be careful of your skin!"
Hearing this, Bai Ning'er suddenly said with a white face: "Old lady, the concubine body remembers." ”
She said there was a reason for this.
Because Liu Yueniang sent Jiaozhu yarn to Qin Huaiyu, last night, Bai Ning'er adhered to the intention of making trouble for Mrs. Zhengfang, so she added oil and vinegar in front of Qin Xuan.
Originally, the relationship between the second master Qin Xuan and his wife was not good, but now when he heard the complaint of his concubine, he felt extremely uncomfortable when he knew that his wife had given it to his nephew and daughter.
After all, this Qin Hongmiao is her own daughter, and now she sees the sigh on her concubine's face, and her daughter is extremely aggrieved, how can she bear it?
The second master, who couldn't help it, went directly to Liu Yueniang's room and scolded her with her head and face.
But where is Liu Yueniang easy to bully? At the moment, she sneered: "Master, where are you talking about, don't say that this has been different since ancient times, just say that this Jiaozhu yarn was sent by my mother's family, and I will give it to whoever I like." If you want to love your concubine and daughter, you can buy it for them with your own money, I'm stopping you?"
Qin Xuan, who had been squeezed for a few words, couldn't hold it on his face, and scolded several times in a row: "I don't know what to say!"
Liu Yueniang sneered more and more when she heard this: "Yes, the concubine is not a so-called concubine, she was born in a merchant, so I don't know, it turns out that in this big family, she uses his wife's dowry to raise a concubine, and she is so arrogant." ”
Over the years, her dowry has been spent so much, but not all of it has been spent on her daughter. On weekdays, just turn a blind eye and forget it, Jiaozhu yarn and other precious things want to be taken away, I want to be blind, right?
Over the years, they have quarreled constantly, and Qin Xuan has been a scholar again, saying that he can't say that such a sharp-toothed woman is so angry that he brushes his sleeves and leaves.
Who would have thought that this would not be the end of it?
Liu Yueniang quarreled that night, but she didn't go to her heart, and went to sleep directly, who knew that when she woke up the next day, she came to ask Mrs. Qin for peace, but she was beaten by her, the reason was that she quarreled with her husband, and a bowl of water was uneven?
Liu Yueniang's heart was angry, her face became more and more calm, and she was still in the mood to give her daughter a look and make her calm down.
Qin Xuan is the only son of Old Madam Qin, and he hurts like an eyeball on weekdays, but now that he is squeezed like this, Old Madam Qin must be overwhelmed.
At this ordinary time, because of the quarrel between their husband and wife, Old Madam Qin did not find her own fault, she had long been used to it. Previously, when the old plain marquis was alive, it was better, since the death of his father-in-law, if it wasn't for the prevention of ruining Qin Xuan's reputation, I am afraid that the old lady Qin would have divorced his wife a long time ago.
And she has endured until now for the sake of these children.
Liu Yueniang lowered her eyes, endured this breath, and after looking back and seeing her daughter's distressed eyes, she inexplicably felt soft.
Fortunately, these two children make her feel that it is worth it.
After the old lady Qin in the room finished talking about them, she saw the schadenfreude on the face of the third daughter-in-law next to her, and made a voice from her nose, and said lightly: "And you, stop some in the courtyard, I heard that the third child brought back another one?"
Seeing that Old Madam Qin poked her heart as soon as she opened her mouth, the smile on Zhang Jingui's face instantly disappeared without a trace, and the other party was her mother-in-law, she couldn't say anything else, so she could only respond in a low voice: "Yes, it is said that it is a good family, but the family is poor, so she volunteered to be a concubine." ”
