Chapter 8: Sisters

Jiao Niang still remembers that at that time she was pregnant, and she was favored by King Rui, her father was also promoted, the Hua family rose to the top, and there was an endless stream of courtship, and the most valuable was the Huaguo Mansion.

Although the prince of Huaguo lost his wife, he had a noble status, and there were countless people who wanted to marry him. However, Hua Guogong was very optimistic about King Rui, even if there were only two daughters left in the Hua family at that time, they would marry as in-laws.

Li Niang is the elder, and this marriage will naturally fall on her head.

But the night before the marriage, Liniang was found drowned in the lotus pond, and Rou Niang, as an alternative, naturally replaced Liniang to marry.

But Jiao Niang will not forget that night, Rui Wang Ye went on the expedition, she went back to her mother's house to live, because the weather was hot, to the garden for a walk, just behind the rockery she watched Rou Niang push Li Niang into the lotus pond.

She was cowardly and weak, and she didn't dare to speak out, for fear that exposing herself would cause death, and even more afraid that spreading it would damage the reputation of the Hua family, so she had to rot this matter in her stomach.

As the saying goes, dogs that bite people don't bark, even though Liniang is usually attached to the main house, always relying on Wanniang's momentum to run rampant in the house, and always crowding out her, but compared with Rou Niang, it is much simpler, but it is Rou Niang who is silent and vicious that is really terrible.

Jiao Niang smiled sweetly, she couldn't see any mustard, "The fourth sister came just in time, I also packed up, let's go together." ”

He turned to Mother Li and said, "Mom, don't forget what I told you." ”

After speaking, he went out of the house with Shui Xiang and Rou Niang.

Mrs. Hua lives in Ballantine's Hall, not far from Xiyan Pavilion, from the corner gate of the southwest corner, crosses a bridge, and leads to a sandwich road, which is the east side of the old lady's main house.

The two of them had just turned around from the road, and they were meeting Wan Niang who was going to ask for peace on the other side, wearing a bright red cloud brocade plum blossom pattern dress with her round little face, which was very festive.

They saluted each other, and the three sisters walked together.

Wan Niang was arrogant, and walked half a shoulder to talk to them.

Jiao Niang glanced at her, her heart moved, and she said to Rou Niang: "I heard that a few days ago, at the Beijing Poetry Conference, the fourth sister was praised by Chang'an Hou, saying that you are both talented and beautiful, and you are beautiful and wise?"

Rou Niang's cheeks were smeared with crimson, and she hung her head shyly, "Fifth sister, don't make fun of me, it's Chang'an Hou who praised it, and I can't take it seriously." ”

"False praise? Chang'an Hou poems and books are famous in Yanjing City, he said that if the fourth sister is good, it must be good. Jiao Niang glanced at Wan Niang, and then said ambiguously with Rou Niang: "I heard that the Marquis of Chang'an is handsome and chic, and the women in the city are flocking to him, and he can get a word of praise, and no matter how many people envy it, they can't envy it." Could it be ......"

Rou Niang was ashamed, bit her lip, and said angrily: "Fifth sister, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Yes, don't talk nonsense if you don't know!" When Jiao Niang mentioned the three words of Chang'anhou, Wan Niang listened with her ears open, and the two of them were ambiguous at this time, how could they still hold their breath.

Glaring at Rou Niang, he said disdainfully: "What kind of character is Chang'an Hou, how can he fall in love with a concubine, but he just said a word, what is there to show off." ”

turned around and continued to walk forward, raising his chin, "A character like Chang'an Hou marries a relative, it can be seen that it is the woman's family identity, what if the poems are well written, and the show is good for the article." ”

Wan Niang loves Chang'an Hou, and it took a lot of effort to marry him in her previous life, but as far as Jiao Niang knows, Rou Niang and Chang'an Hou are also ambiguous in private.

The blush on Rou Niang's face slowly faded, and there were traces of twitching on her cheeks, Jiao Niang looked at her and quietly hid the smile on the corner of her mouth. Then spread his gaze to Wan Niang's clothes, and said: "Second sister, this dress is really good-looking, the embroidery is exquisite, the plum blossoms are vivid, the same as the real one, it's new, right?"

Wan Niang likes to be flattered the most, stopped and turned around, touched the embroidery on her clothes, and showed off: "If you say that you don't have knowledge, you don't have knowledge, you can't see that this material is Yunjin, and a horse is no less than 100 gold." Oh yes, I forgot that you didn't come out a few days ago when you were guarding filial piety and the palace rewarded, but even if you came out, you wouldn't get such good material. ”

She pinched her contemptuous eyes and looked at Rou Niang, "I remember that the fourth sister still wanted to grab this horse with me that day, but whoever has what kind of clothes is matched, and they can't fight, the clothes are like this, and the people are like this, the fourth sister said that I am right?"

Jiao Niang could hear Rou Niang's inhalation subtlely, but seeing her expression as usual, she smiled gently at Wan Niang and said, "What the second sister said is very true, this dress can only look good if you wear it." ”

The curtain in the old lady's room was lifted high, and the waiting grandmother came out to invite them into the house, Wan Niang snorted lightly, turned her head and walked into the house, "It's good that you know, it's not that you can't snatch it away." ”

Jiao Niang pretended not to understand anything, looked at Rou Niang with a pair of big watery eyes, and wondered: "What is human, and robbed, what kind of dumb riddle is the second sister playing?"

Rou Niang smiled slowly and took her hand into the room, "It's not a dumb riddle, it's just a joke." ”

She pretended to be relaxed, but Jiao Niang felt that her bones were going to be crushed by her.

The room was very warm, the two stoves on the ground were burning, and the old lady Hua was sitting on the big kang, her eyes closed, her lips moving up and down, chanting Buddha.

It wasn't until Mama put it in her ear and said that a few girls had come to say hello that she opened her eyes.

After saluting, the maid took a few pestles, and the girls sat down in order.

Liniang's person replied, saying that she had a cold last night and couldn't come to say hello to the old lady.

The old lady sneered after hearing this, obviously not believing it, Rou Niang saw this, and said: "The third sister did get caught the cold yesterday, and she also wanted to come over to ask her grandmother for peace this morning, but she really couldn't get up." ”

The old lady glanced at her lightly and said, "It snowed yesterday, but there was no wind, what kind of cold did she get in? ”

Rou Niang was just about to explain, but the old lady continued: "You don't have to defend her, it's really born in the womb of a mother, and none of them have a truth." ”

Rou Niang was embarrassed, and saw Wan Niang gloating on the side, becoming more and more embarrassed, looking up at Jiao Niang sitting opposite, and cast a look for help.

Jiao Niang glanced at her, stood up and said, "Grandmother should take medicine at this hour, I will serve you." ”

The old lady looked at her with a less sharp look in her eyes and said, "It's because you have a heart, and you still remember when my wife took medicine." ”

Jiao Niang smiled: "Grandmother bit by bit, those of us who are grandchildren keep it in mind." This morning, the fourth sister told me that if my grandmother is not good at taking this medicine, I will ask a doctor to come and prescribe a dose of medicine, and I will definitely take care of my grandmother. ”

The old lady looked at Rou Niang and nodded, "You're not bad." ”

Rou Niang was suddenly in a good mood and looked at Jiao Niang with gratitude.

The old lady's medicine is kneaded into pills, and you can take it with boiling water when you eat it. Jiao Niang waited for her to finish taking it and asked for water to rinse her mouth.

Wan Niang saw that there was an opportunity to flatter, so she hurriedly poured a cup of tea and brought it, but she was in a hurry, stepped on the corner of her skirt, leaned forward and was about to fall, and screamed in her mouth.

Rou Niang Jiaoniang was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward, one helped, one pulled, and several maids and women also hugged her, and it took her seven hands and eight feet to stabilize her. This Wan Niang finally stood on her feet, and she didn't want to shake her hand, so the teacup turned out, and she just watched the whole cup of hot tea splash towards the old lady......
