As if feeling a scorching light projected on herself, Hua Meiniang turned her head to look at each other, and unexpectedly looked at Jiao Niang.

Jiao Niang's heart trembled, she quickly lowered her eyes, quickly stabilized her concentration, and then raised her eyes, and raised the corners of her mouth with difficulty.

Hua Meiniang greeted the light, couldn't see Jiao Niang's eyes clearly, didn't care, smiled at her, and said: "The fifth sister is here, I haven't seen her for many days, and it's even more Peugeot." ”

Jiao Niang stepped forward with a smile, saluted her, and saluted the old lady, and then sat on the pestle on the side, "The eldest sister has been reduced recently, but it's too hard?"

Hua Meiniang's tone of voice was simply showing off, "Hey, can you not work hard? The one in our main courtyard didn't care about anything before, but now with my help, he is even more happy, and all the big and small things in the mansion are on me alone." Every day when I open my eyes, it's all about things, up to His Royal Highness's concubine, down to the musician slaves, without my worries. ”

The old lady nodded, "Although it is not easy to be a housekeeper, you also have to take care of yourself." Her eyes fell on Hua Meiniang's belly, "Although Sister Yu is loved by King Rui, in the final analysis, it is better to be a boy, and it is the most important thing to add a boy to King Rui as soon as possible." ”

Hua Meiniang's expression was slightly condensed, she turned to a smile, nodded shyly, and talked to everyone about something else.

She has always been a good person, every sister and brother asked, and asked people to bring gifts to distribute to everyone, even the grandmother around the old lady did not fall, and everyone in the house praised this heart.

"The sixth day of the second month is the 100th day of Sister Yu, and His Royal Highness King Rui said that he would celebrate and invited our whole family to the mansion as guests. Pointing to a few Jiao Niang, "None of you can be missing." ”

When Li Niang heard this, she said happily: "Really, great, I haven't been to the Prince's Mansion yet." The eldest sister is really blessed, and our family is all stained. ”

The old lady crossed her, and sure enough, she was born by a maid, just like the dirt bun who had never seen the world.

And said to Hua Meiniang: "It's good, but will it bother?"

"How? This was personally invited by His Highness. Hua Meiniang said.

Ji Shi felt that there was a light on his face, and he was full of smugness in front of the old lady, "Lord Rui only has one child, our sister Yu, and he naturally cherishes it, thinking about the excitement of the 100-day banquet." If we don't go, won't we refute his face?"

The old lady couldn't get used to her, and said sarcastically: "I'm afraid that it's not enough for someone to be embarrassed in the house, and I have to throw it outside." ”

Wan Niang made a fuss like that, how could the old lady not know, but she didn't bother to care if she wasn't in front of her. At this time, seeing that Ji was proud of his eldest daughter in front of her, he used this matter to block her heart.

"What did Mother say?" Ji pulled his face down.

The old lady pursed her mouth, "Hmph, you know what I say, but you don't know what kind of daughter you raise?"

Ji Shi was stunned, these words really hit her heart, and the smugness was extinguished at once. In my heart, I resented the old lady for making her face in front of so many people, and cursed the old lady for not dying soon at such an age.

Hua Meiniang looked at the two of them coldly, she knew that the old lady and her mother did not have a harmonious relationship, but she had not made trouble to this point before, and she didn't give her mother any affection, so she couldn't help but feel unhappy, and she was not closer to the old lady than before.

After talking about family affairs for a while, Hua Meiniang and Ji left together, and the two went back to the room to talk in detail.

As soon as she went back, she asked about the family during this time, and Ji explained them in detail one by one, lest she miss it, and then wiped her tears and complained to Hua Meiniang.

"Why does it seem like everything is coming for my mother?" Hua Meiniang was thoughtful, and when Ji finished speaking, she noticed that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, these things were not implicated, and she couldn't see anything for a while.

Ji stopped crying, "It's not all your uncompetitive sister, if she is like you, I won't be faulted by the old woman." I just hope that she will marry off as soon as possible and save me trouble. ”

Hua Meiniang comforted her, with suspicion in her heart, "Mother should really keep Tao Xi and inquire again, according to my sister's meaning, the letter was originally for Chang'an Hou, why did it end up in his hands?"

"He said that it was given to him by a small novice, but at that time, I didn't dare to make a statement, and I couldn't hide it. ”

"Tao Xi also grew up under the watchful eye of his mother, he shouldn't lie, that is, someone is getting in the way. Hua Meiniang thought for a while, suddenly grabbed Ji's arm, and said with wide eyes: "It can't be Rou Niang, right? ”

Ji Shi was startled, and immediately slapped the table, and said angrily: "I'll find that little cheap hoof to ask now!"

Hua Meiniang stopped her, "Mother, don't be impatient, this matter is just our speculation, and it can't be counted." ”

"Who else could it be but her?" Ji was very sure, "Fang'er said that when she sent the letter to the Marquis of Chang'an, Rou Niang was next to her, and only she had the opportunity to steal the letter." "I'm in a hurry to go out, "I'll go tell your father the truth now, let him call the shots, and can't let Wanniang suffer this dumb loss." ”

Hua Meiniang stopped again and again, "Mother is confused, if you tell your father about this, yes, you will find out Rou Niang, but it will be harmful to us and not beneficial, and then Wan Niang will really sit down and accept it privately." ”

Ji sat down, she was so eager that she forgot about this stubble.

But he was unwilling, "Is it so easy to let go of Rou Niang's little hoof?"

"Mother doesn't have many opportunities to punish her, so why bother with it. Hua Meiniang's eyes were as misty as clouds, "Besides, I still want to use her." ”

Ji Shi wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at her, puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Hua Meiniang stared, took her hand, and said, "Mother knows me, although I am fortunate to give birth to Sister Yu, but it is also full of difficulties. Sister Yu was just seven months old, and I was attacked by Concubine Zheng, causing me to give birth prematurely. Our mother and daughter are nine deaths, and they came back from the ghost gate, but in the end, our bodies were broken and we couldn't give birth again. ”

Speaking of this, Ji couldn't help but feel sad, hugged her and sobbed, and scolded hatefully: "It's all the Wei Chizhen who suffered a thousand knives, she can't die well." ”

Hua Meiniang was sad and hateful, "I must avenge this revenge, but with my own strength, it is really difficult to easily bring her down." So I want to find someone in the house to help me, first, to help me win favor against her, and second, to give birth to a son for His Highness. ”

Ji pondered for a moment and said, "This idea is not bad, but if you give birth to a son, how can you still have a foothold?"

Hua Meiniang chuckled, "After helping me finish my work, will I still keep her?"

The so-called mother must have a daughter, this is all the remaining means of Ji's play, but the second aunt is not angry, and she gives birth to daughters, so she did not go to the mother and keep the son.

It's just that she didn't expect that someone outside had already given birth to a son to Hua Jintang, and Hua Junyi was three years old when she came back, two years older than her Wanniang.

She looked at Hua Meiniang, "You have taken a fancy to Rou Niang, and you want her to come into the house to help you?"

Hua Meiniang smiled and said quietly: "Actually, I am more optimistic about Jiao Niang." ”
