Longevity Pavilion, main hall.

Mrs. Tang doesn't like luxury, but she loves some antiques. On the red sandalwood shelf on the left is a jade plate from an official kiln, which contains several delicate yellow and exquisite Buddha hands.

On the dressing table of the cabinet is a brocade set of diamond bronze mirrors, in front of the mirror is a jewelry box with red lacquer carved plum blossoms, on the right side is placed a gold-inlaid treasure Hualuan phoenix crown, and on the left is a string of rare inverted rosaries.

Hua Yao walked into the room and looked around, Mrs. Tang was practicing calligraphy at the rosewood table near the bamboo window, the bright noon sun was sprinkled from the bamboo window, there was a yellowish plain silk on the table, and there was an inkstone next to it, and there were a few brushes on the inkstone, and the handwriting on the rice paper was magnificent and magnificent.

Hua Yao didn't dare to bother, and stood quietly on the side and waited.

After a stick of incense, Mrs. Tang finally put down the sheep's hair in her hand, raised her eyelids and looked at the dignified and virtuous Hua Yao, and did not say a word. With the support of the maid, he staggered into the hall and took a seat in front of the couch made of rosewood and rosewood.

Hua Yao followed closely behind, in the middle of the hall, and saluted to Old Lady Tang: "See Mother." I haven't seen her for a few days, my mother is refreshed and healthy, and my daughter-in-law is very happy. ”

Mrs. Tang raised her face slightly and motioned for the maid to serve tea. glanced at Hua Yao and curled the corners of her mouth: "The eldest lady came to visit me, an old woman, in her busy schedule, and it is my blessing to make my Longevity Pavilion shine." ”

The atmosphere of the entire hall instantly cooled to the freezing point, and all the subordinates held their breath, for fear of making a little mistake and being targeted by the two heroines of the General's Mansion in front of them.

Everyone knows that Mrs. Tang doesn't like her, the daughter-in-law Hua Yao who is marrying Ming Media.

Back then, if it weren't for Hua Yao's family background, Tang Zhentian would definitely not marry her if he could let the General's Mansion play a role in the previous dynasty.

Hua Yao's extremely smart woman naturally knows it.

However, no matter what the purpose, Hua Yao married Tang Zhentian, and had a reliable maiden family to rely on, so he was the head of the general's mansion.

She is gracious and powerful, far-sighted, tactful, punishing evil and promoting good, in just a few years, no one in the entire general's mansion from top to bottom dares to make a mistake, even Tang Zhentian is impressed by her pomegranate skirt.

Since then, Hua Yao has properly sat on the position of the eldest lady of the General's Mansion.

It made Mrs. Tang, who was young at the time, lose her majesty and the power that should have been to show off her might.

Mrs. Tang was not convinced, and secretly chose a small jasper to give to Tang Zhentian as a concubine, and this woman was Tang Chaorou's mother.

Isn't Hua Yao a person who is afraid of things? In less than a month, he gave the ambitious maid Cuihe beside him to Tang Zhentian.

A few years later, Tang Dairou's mother unfortunately passed away for unknown reasons.

Cuihe lost favor and was left out in the cold.

This general's mansion is still Hua Yao's world, and no one can shake it.

Mrs. Tang was annoyed every time she thought of the past, and she had no way to take Hua Yao, so she had to put her mind on Tang Dairou, striving for her to get ahead and soar.

Hua Yao looked like she didn't care about her previous suspicions, her skin was like congealed fat, and she said with a charming smile: "Mother is serious, your daughter-in-law loves you very much, is respectful and filial, and she doesn't dare to be the slightest bit neglectful." The general is a well-known filial son within a radius of ten miles, if it is spread that your daughter-in-law is not good to you and is talked about by others, wouldn't it slap the general's face and ruin the general's reputation? ”

The corners of Old Lady Tang's eyes were covered with dense crow's feet, but she was still so bright, glaring at Hua Yao angrily, and said angrily: "You don't need to suppress me with a general!" I've seen you well for years! Something happened to Dai Rou today, are you afraid that I will trouble you, so you took the initiative to take the blame, do you think I am old and confused, and I can't guess your thoughts? ”

Hua Yao sneered softly, not intending to explain anything, as if she had long been accustomed to Old Lady Tang's cynicism and disapproval.

She sat down on the rose chair on the right side, and between her gestures, she showed a noble and elegant attitude, her gaze swept across the people in the hall, and finally fell on the face of the maid wearing an emerald green hairpin, and asked, "Qingxue, how is the third miss?" ”

Qingxue respectfully blessed her body, and replied in a straight voice: "Mrs. Qiyu, since the third watch yesterday in the middle of the night, the third lady was frightened by the ghost that suddenly broke into the boudoir, and she has been delirious, and her speech is upside down, and her words are all crazy words that she can't understand, and she is still confused. The few maids who were waiting in the room were even more frightened, all of them were nervous, or they hid in bed and didn't dare to see anyone, or they couldn't wake up and talk nonsense, and even Zi Chen, who was serving closely, was terminally ill and unconscious. Hey, it's a natural and man-made disaster. ”

Hua Yao pursed her rosy and full red lips, Tang Dairou's illness was far more serious than she imagined, if she was really sick for a long time and was bedridden, Mrs. Tang was afraid that she would not let Tang Anxia go.

At this time, the maidservant girl outside the door came to say: "Old lady, the second lady asks to see." ”

Old Lady Tang's wrinkled face suddenly condensed with a layer of frost, and her dry palm like a tree branch slapped the table hard, and angrily reprimanded: "Let her kneel!" Kneel in the courtyard and be punished! ”

The handmaid trembled and retreated: "Yes." ”

Hua Yao glanced at the angry old lady Tang, I haven't seen her so angry for many years, Tang Dairou is really her old life!

After thinking about it, Hua Yao's heart spontaneously had a thought - the sandpiper and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit.

Her pair of Danfeng eyes were faintly charming, like thorny roses, and there was a moving charm between her eyebrows, and she said unhurriedly: "Chunzhi, you sent someone to invite the imperial doctor in the palace to come to the General's Mansion, take a look at the third lady, and see what kind of illness it is?" ”

Chunzhi responded: "Yes, the slave will send someone to invite." ”

Hua Yao raised her eyes, her charming face flashed a trace of distress, she took out a brocade and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, sighed and said: "Hey, Dai Rou is the daughter of a general, she has lost her mother since she was a child, if she is really frightened, it will be too pitiful." This life experience is like duckweed in the water, drifting and hard-working children. ”

This seemingly heartfelt remark just hit Mrs. Tang's heart, her brown eyes sunken in the eye sockets flashed with a little tears, two fan-like palms patted her legs uneasily, and said with a curled mouth: "Dai Rou may be in a panic for a while, but it will naturally get better in a few days, you don't want the cat to cry and fake mercy." ”

Hua Yao's face showed a worried expression: "Thanks to my mother, I hope this child will survive this disaster safely." ”

At the moment, the maidservant who had just left outside the door hurriedly stepped forward again and blessed herself: "Old lady, the second lady refuses to kneel down and be punished." The slave maid said all the good and bad things, but the second lady said......"

Seeing that Mrs. Tang's face was so angry that her face was like ashes, Hua Yao said calmly: "It's okay to say it directly. ”

The slave lowered her eyebrows and looked at her: "Yes, the second lady said...... She is not wrong, she has not harmed the third lady, and the old lady can't punish her for no reason. If the old lady is unwell and doesn't want to see her, the second lady can go back and come back to see her another day. ”
