Chapter 5 Pleasing Grandmother
The next day, Ye Hao woke up early, so she instructed Crimson to groom and dress her, and she personally picked out a lake-green silver silk long skirt, so that Crimson had a flowing cloud bun, and a silver gilt dotted emerald plum hairpin was inserted obliquely in her hair, which was simple, generous and elegant.
Mama Li stood aside indignantly, in the past, where was the fourth lady's clothes not done by herself, but now they are all handed over to those maids, and she really can't swallow this breath.
"Fourth sister, according to the old slave, this hairpin is not good-looking, not as good as the tired silk golden phoenix." Mama Li diligently took the tired silk golden phoenix step in her hand, and made a gesture to pull out the hairpin on Ye Hao's head.
Ye Hao's eyes were deep, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she bowed slightly: "Mama Li, what are you doing!" So vulgar and rude. After another pause, he said, "Mama, you must abide by your duty!"
Mama Li saw that she was angry, and her heart sank, what's the matter, how could these four young ladies have such resentful words against her.
She was very angry, she hadn't talked back to her since Ye Hao was a child, although she was a slave and the fourth lady was the master, but her nurturing feelings for the fourth miss couldn't allow this girl who had been pinched in her hands since she was a child to dare to blame herself.
He said forcefully: "The fourth sister dislikes the old slave and is old, and she doesn't listen to grandma anymore."
Ye Hao's face flashed with anger, this old man really didn't stop, provoking her all the time, she sneered and raised her chin: "Mama, you must not be disciplining Miss Ben, right?"
Mama Li's face turned pale, and then she had an epiphany, what she just said was said without thinking about it, and if the fourth lady pursued it, it would be okay.
Let's not talk about her disrespectful responsibility for questioning her master so aggressively, and besides, she dares to discipline the fourth lady on behalf of the old lady, isn't this contempt for the old lady's authority, this crime is too big. She panicked infinitely in her heart, hating herself for being so quick that she almost committed a great sin.
She hurriedly laughed a few times as if flattering, praised Ye Hao a few words, took Ye Hao's hand again, and said cautiously: "Fourth sister, Fang is the old slave who has exceeded the rules a little, but the old slave is also for the sake of the fourth sister, the old slave has always watched his sister grow up, and he has long regarded his sister as his own granddaughter." After speaking, he didn't forget to peek at Ye Hao's face.
The expression in Ye Hao's eyes changed a little, and finally calmed down, and she quietly withdrew her hand from Mama Li's hand.
Treating herself as your own granddaughter is really good at putting gold on your face. How can the daughter of the big house of the General's Mansion be imagined by the evil mother-in-law? It's really self-inflicted.
…………
Mrs. Ye lives in Baishouyuan in the East Courtyard, although Ye Hao has to go to Baishouyuan on weekdays to save morning and dusk, Mrs. Pingsu prefers two rooms and three parties, especially every time she went to see her grandmother in the past, Mama Li told her that she should not stay longer when she came back earlier, saying that the old lady was old and boring, so it was better to go back to the yard to play.
She must have wanted the old lady to feel that she was a vulgar girl who was pampered and arrogant, did not know etiquette and did not know the rules, and it was difficult to enter the hall of elegance. Therefore, the old lady prefers Ye Rong in the second room.
Ye Hao stood outside the door respectfully with Miao Lan, and Mrs. Fang, who was guarding the door, saw that the fourth lady, who had always been late, also got up early for the first time, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances and hurriedly went into the inner room to report to the old lady.
Mrs. Ye got up, and when she heard Mrs. Fang's report, she was also surprised, and after thinking about it, she waved her hand to welcome Ye Zhen in.
Mrs. Fang and the others are all people who live next to the old lady, who doesn't know how to see the wind making the rudder, and they are busy respectfully inviting Ye Zhen into the inner room.
Seeing Mrs. Ye sitting on the gum, Ye Hao first gave her a proper and decent gift, and then said respectfully: "Granddaughter meets grandmother and wishes grandmother a long life and good health."
The old lady was dressed in a dark purple cardigan, a wide skirt of the same color, her silver hair was curled into an auspicious bun, she wore a forehead inlaid with pearls on her forehead, and she wore emerald earrings on her ears, which looked like a standard aristocratic old woman.
The old lady was a little puzzled, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the girl in front of her, this Ye Zhen has always been hairy, when did she learn to understand etiquette like this, and she was so well-behaved, she didn't make any mistakes, she had to be dignified, and she saw her face looking at herself with honest and dark eyes, which was quite innocent and moving.
couldn't help but soften her heart, beckoned her to get up, and asked her casually: "What's the matter, the fourth sister came to see my old woman so early today?"
Ye Hao lowered her head in shame when she heard this, and said softly: "Grandmother, it was Zhen'er who was wrong before, but yesterday I dreamed that my father trained me, telling me to honor my grandmother well, and never contradict my grandmother." He said, 'It's hard to serve your mother when you're away', and when she listened to her father's teachings yesterday, she was ashamed in her heart, thinking that she would listen to her grandmother's teachings in the future, and never be a granddaughter who worries her grandmother. ”
When the old lady heard her say this, a faint smile appeared on her face: "You have also benefited now, you can change your mistakes, and you are very good."
Ye Zhen observed her words and knew that her grandmother was very satisfied with her words, and she said shyly: "Grandmother, Zhen'er knows."
Mrs. Ye is the original wife of General Ye Lao, and gave birth to three sons for General Ye Lao, namely Ye Meng, the eldest son of the big house, Ye Hao's father, who inherited the general title of General Ye Lao and has been a good kung fu since elementary school, and is now leading troops to fight outside the Northwest Sai.
And Ye Zhao, the second son of the second room, took the road of civil officials and was also Ye Rong's father. Ye Qi, the third master of the third room, also took the path of civil officialdom, although he was not as proud as Ye Zhao in the officialdom, he was left and right, and his official career was relatively good.
As for Ye Gui, the four-room master, he was the concubine of General Ye, but when Mrs. Ye was pregnant with Ye Qi, she let an aunt take advantage of the loophole and gave birth to Ye Gui with General Ye. Fortunately, Ye Gui is loyal and honest, has no bad intentions, and has always been obedient to the old lady, so the old lady Ye does not make things difficult for him very much, and most of them turn a blind eye.
Mrs. Ye is plain and cherishes the second room, the second old man is good at coaxing the old lady, Lin is a capable person, and Ye Rong is very clingy, knows how to do what he likes, is plain and well-behaved, and often coaxes her to laugh.
Ye Hao stared at Old Madam Ye's facial expression with her eyes, and whispered in shame: "Grandmother, granddaughter has done something wrong." She knew that the second room would definitely sue first, and according to Ye Rong's temperament, she would definitely say that it was her own fault for adding fuel to the old lady, and then accuse Ye Hao, as a sister, of being vicious and unable to tolerate her cousin, so as to make the old lady even more disgusted with herself.
Now, she wants to seize the opportunity and take the initiative to admit her mistakes to the old lady and leave a good impression on the old lady.
Old Madam Ye smiled knowingly, "It's good to know your mistakes, remember, don't make it again." She only thought that Ye Hao apologized for grabbing the hairpin with Ye Rong, and she felt more and more that these four girls were more and more pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help but comfort her a few words.
"It's not this, grandmother, yesterday the fifth sister personally brought a bowl of soup and medicine to say that it was to make amends with me, and somehow, there was no slave to serve my sister closely, and then, the granddaughter didn't take the soup bowl and spilled the soup on the back of her sister's hand, causing her to be burned......" Ye Hao was full of self-blame, her hands were nervously pinching her sleeves, and she paused to look at the old lady's face, "The granddaughter really didn't mean to, the granddaughter has always had a deep relationship with her sister, and I am afraid that someone will provoke our sisterhood." "Sincerely, sincerely.
Mrs. Ye has been invading in the backyard for all those years, and has experienced so many ups and downs, how can she not know the strangeness, her face sank, and she gave Mother Wen a look on the side and asked her to investigate.
At this time, the porter came in to inform that the second room had come with the fifth lady. Old Madam Ye nodded, Lin took Ye Rong and walked in, she felt more and more angry as she walked, this morning she was still distributing cards in her yard, and she heard that Ye Hao went to the old lady's yard for a long time, so she panicked, and hurriedly took Ye Rong to visit the old lady, she didn't allow any girl in the house to rob the old lady of her daughter's favor.
Lin Shi had a dignified and gentle expression, took lotus steps, and first greeted the old lady, and then turned his gaze to Ye Hao, whose ruthless gaze was like a poisonous snake, and she still had a virtuous face.
"Second aunt, Zhen'er can't compensate you." Ye Hao gave Lin a salute unhurriedly, and was extremely well-behaved.
Lin couldn't have a seizure, so he had to accept it, and said angrily: "Fourth Miss is really, you and Rong'er have always been good friends, is it possible that your aunt will blame you?"
It's clear that she wants to blame, but she has no good excuse.
Ye Rong pursed his mouth, his face was full of grievances, his eyes were still covered with faint tears, and he called in a soft and delicate voice: "Grandmother, Rong'er's hands hurt."
When Mrs. Ye heard this delicate voice, her heart melted, and she hurriedly took her into her arms and whispered to ask for warmth.
Ye Rong didn't know how to restrain yet, he accepted it when he saw it, he felt that he was still not satisfied, he stretched out his white and tender little hand that was tightly wrapped in white gauze and pulled the old lady's collar, looked at her with watery bright eyes, frowned, and raised his voice: "Grandmother, you have to make decisions for your granddaughter."
"Grandmother, Zhen'er looked at the fifth sister holding the bowl, and the maids who were waiting didn't hand over the handle, if it was passed out, I thought it was Zhen'er who asked the fifth sister to do the work of the subordinates, Zhen'er really had a hard time arguing." Ye Hao's words are sincere, reasonable, and chiseled, so that people can't find the slightest fault.
Lin was about to open his mouth to refute yesterday's incident and get angry for Ye Rong, but he didn't want Ye Hao to say it, so she took the lead, frowned, and looked at the girl with puzzled eyes. It's normal as usual, it's no different, why has she become a little sharp today, could it be that someone taught her such words?
"The second family, I have always known that you are a virtuous and docile person, but you can't be bullied by those cheap maids who bully the master, this time, they will be severely punished." Old Madam Ye is a maid who is determined to rectify Ye Rong, her face is serious and inviolable, she has always paid attention to family style, and she is more paranoid in this matter.
