Chapter 33: It's strange to enter Liu's Mansion for the first time
"You are the little sister of the girl with eyebrows, you are really a gentle and virtuous woman, look at these eyebrows, hey, you are blessed to be an official wife, your Yang family has found you a good son-in-law!"
"Yes, Bao Mei in our mansion is a person who has read the Four Books and Five Classics, and he looks good, and he has only been serving in the courtyard from the kitchen girl to the little young master in just three months, and the old lady has acquiesced."
A group of girls looked around Yang Baodai curiously, and listened to a crisp voice: "Let a few of you serve my sister well, you should take Qiao up, what Brother Sheng said just now is out of my ears, isn't it!" ”
Yang Baodai got up, and watched Yang Baomei hurry over from the verandah, she received Yang Baomei's letter yesterday, asked her to sit in the house, and put Zhao Yuanzhi on, but halfway Liu Shengheng didn't know where to turn it from, and Zhao Yuanzhi hated it very late, so he took people with him.
Recalling that Liu Shengheng looked at Zhao Yuanzhi's eyes with stars just now, she couldn't help but laugh.
The girl who brought her saw her smile, and explained to her: "It's normal that Madam doesn't understand, our little master rarely goes out, I talked to Zhao Gongzi last time, and I eat two more bowls of rice when I come back, men say men's words, women say women's words, let's not go with them." ”
Yang Baomei walked over with a smile, and when he looked at it, he saw that Yang Baodai was wearing a simple plain blue dark stripe long jacket, covered with this moonlight blue butterfly branch, and a milky white makeup long skirt below, holding a bun, decorated with a hairpin with coral pearls, with a pair of bamboo leaf earrings, the whole person was gentle and charming, soft and with a bit of temperament, and I couldn't see that I had been a little cautious at home.
Thinking about it, Zhao Yuanzhi is extremely fond of her.
Yang Baodai is also looking at her sister, I thought that last time the group was already the best goods, and then look at today, from top to bottom is a peach-pink pomegranate bijia, inside is a pale pink group flower narrow sleeve long jacket, the neckline is square, and you can also look at a bunch of gilt buckles, below is a pale yellow pomegranate skirt, sitting with a pair of golden koi, with a gemstone on the ring finger to explain, a silver bracelet on the wrist, rich and handsome, with a pearl enamel necklace hanging around the neck.
The mother-in-law who had just jokingly chewed the root of her tongue quieted down, and called 'Baomei girl' in a proper manner
Yang Baodai was slightly puzzled, and then looked at her sister with a faint and soft smile. Even if she is a first-class personal girl, she is rarely called a girl.
Yang Baomei teased a few words of the girl's mother-in-law, then took her sister's hand, and looked at the girl's mother-in-law with a bit of majesty: "There are distinguished guests in Brother Sheng'er's courtyard to discuss schoolwork with him, there can be no shortage of people in the pantry, a few more pastries are being prepared, make some local side dishes, Brother Sheng ate half more peach blossom cake yesterday, and prepare more ······ today." chattered for a while, and then pulled Yang Baodai to the side.
It stands to reason that the girl who follows the young master, even if it is close to the body, sleeps in the small gauze cupboard next to the pantry, and there is a night watch every day, and those below the second class live in the side courtyard, Yang Baodai looked at the bold and exquisite and magnificent room in front of her, with a blanket of flowers and wealth at her feet, and famous works on the wall, the house is divided into three parts, the bedroom inside, and the arhat bed next to it has a flower hall.
The place where she stands is supposed to be a place where ordinary guests and eat.
Raising her eyes and looking out of the window, Yang Baodai looked at what Liu Shengheng was handsome and handsome and Zhao Yuanzhi was talking about in the main hall, very concentrated, Zhao Yuanzhi sat sideways, and couldn't see his expression clearly, but with that small dimple, Yang Baodai could also feel that this person could meet someone to chat.
She came back to her senses and continued to look at the house, this is a wing of the courtyard, she looked at her sister who made tea for her, walked over and asked directly: "How is the young master of the Liu family good to you?" Such a spacious house is pointed out to you, and the old lady in charge has no opinion? ”
Yang Baomei raised her hand and beat her, simply opened the cuffs and put her elbow on the palace sand to show her, she was so white-eyed, the girls from big families had to order this thing when they entered the door, and the tone of contempt "Is it enough to explain!" You dead girl, now someone is spoiled and lawless, dare to make fun of your sister, Brother Sheng is just me as a friend, you don't know, he looks rich, in fact, life is difficult. ”
There are many places to pickle things in big families, Yang Baodai just smiled and said: "If my mother knows that you are dozens of times better than ordinary girls, I don't know how to be happy." ”
She also thinks that Liu Shengheng is an excellent son-in-law, gentle and polite, handsome, and talkative.
"Don't, you can stop, as soon as her mouth is released, Zhang San and Li Si don't know how to say it, Brother Sheng doesn't give me a few more months of money, and every mother in the whole yard looks at me pleasing to the eye, and the girls who serve me before me exclude me in various ways, didn't I take money for the family for a month before, but I had a fight with those girls' mothers, just those few."
Speaking of what happened just now, Yang Baomei tapped his fingers on the small case, and several fathers and mothers scolded him.
Yang Baodai listened slowly, the smile on her face slowly converged, and took the initiative to cover the back of her sister's hand, Yang Baomei paused as she spoke, smiled again, and nodded at Yang Baodai, who was full of worry, and blinked, "Fortunately, Brother Sheng knew right from wrong, and stood up to help me say a few fair words, but the old lady knew, so she felt that Brother Sheng was interesting to me, and opened her face to me, Brother Sheng knew, and apologized to me, saying that she wanted the old lady to take it back." ”
The girl who opens her face is considered a preparatory aunt, and the premise of this preparation must be to give birth to a child, otherwise wait for the wife to enter, and you will be allowed to serve when you meet a kind person, and if you meet a jealous person, you will marry directly or drive out.
As long as there is no female owner in the yard, the open-faced girl is the invisible lady, the main wife is a few years late, how can she let a girl step on her head, the most important thing is that the young master's body lifts the open-faced girl, that is all moved by two sincerity.
The two sisters chattered about the recent situation, listening to the younger brother who had taken the Tongsheng exam, Yang Baomei stood up excitedly, folded his hands and recited two sentences of Buddha, smiled and took Yang Baodai's hand, and blinked: "Our family can be regarded as a scholar, by the way, you and Zhao Yuanzhi have been married for four months, seeing that he is going to Fuzhou in May, why is there no news from your stomach?" ”
Her gaze involuntarily swirled around Yang Baodai's stomach.
"Can you say something good!" Yang Baodai was ashamed and raised her hand to hammer her, "Where is this kid who comes when he says it!" ”
Yang Baomei was very serious, his eyes became serious, and he pulled her wrist: "Brother Sheng came back that day and said that Zhao Yuanzhi would definitely be able to win, and he was probably half-sincere and half-helpless when he married you, that is, he used you to respond to the second-room rich wolf relatives!" ”
"If you can't give birth to a boy and a girl····· Do you dare to say that Zhao Yuanzhi can really entrust you for life?! What if he comes back to marry another person and comes back to you, how many men dislike the chaff and marry more, and there are countless strong second wives who squeeze the original partner out of the house! You don't think about your future. ”
Looking at Yang Baomei's face, Zhao Yuanzhi really can't see through it, and if he can't see through it, he has no bottom in his heart, looking at the moisturized appearance on Yang Baomei's face, he knows that the two of them are also diligent in the same room, how can there be no news? She is inevitably worried, others don't know Yang Baodai, she knows very well, this person's biggest ability is solid eyes, and a hundred cows can't pull back the people and things he recognizes!
Yang Baodai disagreed, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "It's good for the child to let things go naturally, I don't think much about it." ”
Of course, she knew her identity and married Zhao Yuanzhi was already a high marriage, and he would soar in the future······ Yang Baodai laughed again, "I never thought about this, the days are coming slowly, I'm not in a hurry, Yuan Zhen also said that it is okay to have children or not." ”
"You're confused!" Yang Baomei stood up and paced, sighing and complaining, and simply said: "I'll go to the mansion doctor to check your pulse, take care of your body, and work hard during this time." ”
She was just about to go out when Yang Baodai suddenly stopped her.
"Eldest sister, why are you called Young Master Liu Brother Sheng?" Yang Baodai looked at her with a smile, holding her chin and tilting her head to look at her sister: "Big families have the habit of calling young master brother, but they all take the last name, what are you······?"
And just now, the Liu family called this little master, and they all called Brother Sheng. This is very strange, and the male dependents of the Liu family are all from the rain generation, and the name Liu Shengheng is very abnormal, and it is weird everywhere.
Yang Baomei walked over and sat down, took a sip of tea slowly, and explained without hurry: "At the beginning, it was called Liu Sheng, and the old lady gave it to her, saying that when she was born, she decided to live for less than a year. ”
"The old lady likes to call Brother Sheng, and we don't dare to do it, so we just call it." She coughed lightly as she spoke, as if she was about to divert the topic, and asked: "It's time for lunch, what do you want to eat, I'll go to the small kitchen to prepare it for you, I look at Brother Sheng'er's appearance, I won't release Zhao Yuanzhi today!" ”
Yang Baodai pursed her lips and laughed, secretly praised Yang Baomei's ability to lie, and continued to ask, "I looked at Young Master Liu, his body didn't seem to be as weak as rumored by the outside world. ”
Once her eldest sister lies and changes the topic hardly, she will always ask if people are hungry, Yang Baomei was obviously lying in the sentence just now, she looked at her with a converging gaze, "The mansion seems to have great respect for this young master Liu, just now I heard an old mother say that the only one of the Wujin paper weights was brought to him, saying that the best things in the house must be walked in front of him once first, and it seems that other young masters and young ladies do not associate with him." ”
It's not that they don't come and go, but they don't dare to come and go, and they are all hiding quickly.
These are the words she just begged from the little girl's mouth with a silver hairpin.
They are all brothers and sisters, even if they don't get used to each other, they will never do it in the open.
Moreover, men and women have different seats at the age of three and different houses at the age of eight, so it stands to reason that the yards of the young masters should be concentrated in the front yard, but Liu Shengheng has a verandah next to the old lady's yard, which is too unreasonable.
Even Zhao Yuanzhi was stunned just now, they obviously came in from the corner door at the back, but they actually walked a cup of tea and met Liu Shengheng, who was protected by eight Xiao Si. What is the concept of being protected by eight small Si at home?
Yang Baomei originally had scruples, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was okay to hang it high, but as soon as Yang Baomei said that she was opened, she felt that she had to ask clearly, her sister was very tendoned, and she directly opened the words: "You have also been a personal girl for him for almost a year, you should even understand his affairs, I won't ask you deeply, there are too many secrets in big families, and the little master of the Liu family is protected too well, it can be regarded as surveillance, and no one has ever known whose child he is······"
Regarding Liu Shengheng's rumors, the most talked about in the streets and alleys of Qinghua Town is his father's problem.
Yang Baodai's voice was extremely small, but she recognized it as true: "He, is he the illegitimate son of Old Lady Liu outside?" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about! The old lady is seventy-six this year! Yang Baomei looked at her in astonishment, her voice couldn't help but get louder, and then she stared at her and said: "Don't speculate, I understand what you said, but I only know that Brother Sheng treats me extremely well, and the rest is not important to me, and I have long made it clear to him that I will never be a concubine in this life." ”
Yang Baomei got up and poured tea for his sister with a teapot, and looked at her with a squint: "So give me all your worries, I came to you today to talk about your family's economic affairs." ”
