Chapter 210: A Chance Encounter
"Miss, are you here?"
Chen's mother, who was watering the vegetation in the courtyard, saw Jiang Yingli coming, put down the kettle in her hand, and immediately greeted her.
Jiang Yingli was resting very well at home, at this time she was radiant, with a smile in her eyes, and nodded: "Yes, Mother Chen, is Madam in the house?" ”
Mother Chen nodded happily, bent down and said, "Madame is here." ”
"Okay, I'll go in and see Madame." After Jiang Yingli finished speaking, he walked into the room with seven small steps.
"Yingli, are you here?"
Madame came out in response, and although she had a smile on her face, the sun reflected on her face, and she looked too pale, and her complexion was very bad.
"Mother, why doesn't your complexion look very good?" Jiang Yingli looked at Mrs. Hou suspiciously.
Mrs. Hou hooked the corners of her mouth helplessly, walked to the side and sat down, and said melancholy: "After the old woman came back, everything in the house has changed, how can her complexion be good?" ”
Jiang Yingli smiled, moved to sit down beside Mrs. Hou, took her hand and said, "Mother, aren't I coming back?" Nothing will be the same, you don't have to worry about it. ”
Mrs. Hou rubbed her temples, shook her head and said, "What can you do, isn't that man still staying with those concubines every night?" If you want to blame yourself, you can only blame yourself, and love is late ......"
Jiang Yingli couldn't see Mrs. Hou's sad appearance, squatted beside her, and comforted her softly: "Mother, don't think about it, you also know that Dad is a filial person, this time it's just to fulfill the old lady's wishes, you have been married for many years, and you haven't mentioned taking a concubine, this time it's because of the old lady, it will be like this, and it can still prove that Dad has a mother in his heart." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Hou's dim eyes finally flashed, but they dimmed later, "Master Hou is indeed filial." ”
Jiang Yinglian's heart sank, but there was still a smile on his face, and he persuaded: "Let's not talk about it first, my mother, as Mrs. Hou of the Hou Mansion, is the main room, so I should cheer up, don't let those little concubines compare, and I can't let the old lady see the joke." ”
"Let's go, mother, you are also suffocated in the house during this time, Yingli will accompany you out shopping, Yingli will buy you some rouge gouache to dress up!" Hearing Jiang Yingliang's words, Mrs. Hou's heart warmed, and a smile appeared on her face again.
Rouge shop.
"Madame, Mademoiselle, what do you need?" As soon as Jiang Yingli and Mrs. Hou walked into the rouge shop, Xiao Er walked up.
Jiang Yingli waved his hand and said politely to Xiao Er: "Let's just take a look for ourselves." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Er retreated and let the two choose by themselves.
Looking at the various rouges and delicate storefronts, Mrs. Hou retreated a little, she whispered in Jiang Yinglian's ear and said: "Yingliang, this rouge shop looks good, but the color seems to be brighter, not suitable for ......"
Jiang Yingli patted Mrs. Hou's hand comfortingly, held her and said, "Mother, don't worry, Yingli will definitely pick the most suitable one." ”
"I know your thoughts, my mother understands it, but it's just ......" said that, Mrs. Hou was about to pull Jiang Yingli out.
Jiang Yingli stopped Mrs. Hou with a smile, and persuaded her: "Yingli can have today's achievements of the Hou Mansion, and Yingli is filial to his mother!" If you are not filial, it is not tolerated! Mother, don't let down your goddaughter's heart! ”
Jiang Yingli was coquettish to Mrs. Hou, but Mrs. Hou had no choice but to compromise with a smile.
"Yingli, which one do you think is appropriate? I'm dizzy...... Mrs. Hou held a box of rouge in one hand, compared left and right, and asked Jiang Yingliang's opinion.
Stretching out his head, Jiang Yingli carefully compared, pointed to the rouge on Mrs. Hou's left hand and said, "This, madam, this color is natural, and it really matches Mrs. Hou's elegant temperament!" ”
"Good little girl, you actually said something to coax me!" Madame Hou snickered shyly, feigned annoyance, and looked at her with disgust.
"Madam, do you think this white auspicious cloud hairpin is good-looking, or is it a pink-flowered yellow hairpin?" Jiang Yingli took out two hairpins from the two wooden boxes and asked.
Mrs. Hou didn't see anything after watching it for a long time, so she could only shake her head and say, "It's all good, I think it's all good." ”
"Then take it all." Jiang Yingli smiled knowingly.
She pointed to the side: "Xiao Er, that rouge, that Qingdai, and these two hairpins should be wrapped for me." ”
"The girl is really good-eyed, this is the best in our store!"
Xiao Er's face was attentive, and his fingers flicked back and forth on the abacus: "A total of one hundred and fifty-five taels of silver." ”
After Jiang Yingli finished paying, he took his things and walked out of the store with Mrs. Hou.
"You just came back from the palace, and you haven't rested well, so you want to accompany me......"
Before Mrs. could say a few words, Jiang Yingli interrupted with a smile: "Accompany my mother to go shopping, I can't ask for it, how can I be tired." Looking at Jiang Yingliang's sincere appearance, Mrs. Hou couldn't help but be moved, she knew that she was right to accept her as a righteous daughter at the beginning.
"Mother, let's go, let's go shopping again." Jiang Yingli stepped forward cordially and grabbed Mrs. Hou's arm, Mrs. Hou nodded in agreement, but the next moment, Jiang Yingli just turned around and bumped into a man's chest.
Jiang Yingli blushed instantly, stepped back, and hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry." ”
"What's so embarrassing, what's the point of throwing some hugs in the face of your husband?" A familiar voice came from ahead.
"Autumn ...... Ding Shi! Seeing the person in front of him clearly, Jiang Yingli swallowed the words that had originally blurted out, and said hello stiffly.
Mrs. Hou saw that Jiang Yingli and Ding Shi had a closer relationship, especially when she heard him talk nonsense, her face was displeased: "You are not Yingliang's husband yet, don't talk nonsense." ”
Ding Shi looked at Jiang Yingli ambiguously, and complained to Mrs. Hou: "I think that Li'er has also expressed his heart to Mrs., and I am not married to Li'er, this sooner or later thing, how can it be nonsense." ”
What Ding Shi said was true, but the more Jiang Yingli listened, the more he felt that he couldn't listen to it, and his ears were hot.
"So what, everything has not been settled, who said that the fence must be you, I will find a family for the fence." The smile on the corner of Mrs. Hou's mouth deepened, and she said this deliberately.
In fact, she also saw it early in the morning, Jiang Yingli liked it, and she couldn't force it, as Ding Shi said, the two of them were about to be a good thing, but she didn't want Ding Shi to be so easy.
"What? Who are you going to marry Yingli? I disagree! I absolutely disagree! I'm married to Dingjiang Yingli! Ding Shi's eyes widened, full of incredulity, and he also knew that Mrs. Hou had always disliked him, so as soon as these words came out, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Even Jiang Yingli clenched her fists and looked at Mrs. Hou eagerly, and the sentence "I don't want to marry someone else" was about to run out of her mouth.
Seeing the anxious look of the young man, Mrs. Hou pursed the corners of her mouth, forced back a smile, and said to Ding Shi: "What's the hurry? I said that I want to find a good family for the fence, if you pass my test, maybe you will be the good family? ”
