Chapter 103: Parting
Jiao Niang sat in the side hall and waited for a while, and then heard someone come out of the old lady's main room. Jiao Niang looked through the open half-open door and saw You Shi wiping tears out, dressed not as flamboyant as that day, much more low-key, wearing a dark blue bat-patterned satin dress, and simply wearing two plain silver hairpins on her head.
"The fourth wife still has to be relieved, don't look back and fall down again, that family won't have a backbone. Mama Mao comforted her and sent her off.
You Shi nodded frequently, suddenly stopped tears, took a gold bracelet from his wrist, and stuffed it into Mama Mao's hand, "Please also ask Mama to help persuade the old lady, in the end, we are all a family, if the old lady doesn't care about Zhu Niang's affairs, I really can't find someone who can call the shots." ”
Mama Mao pushed it a few times, but she didn't push it back, so she had to hold it in her hand, "This matter, it's not big, but it's not small, and the old lady has to think about it again." ”
Saying that, she raised her face to the little maid beside her, and the little maid took a few packets of wrapped ginseng, bird's nest and other things and handed them to the maid brought by You's family, Mama Mao said: "The old lady said, although there is no shortage of these in your house, but this is a little bit of her heart, go back and let the girl Zhu Niang eat more, I hope she can enjoy a few more days." ”
In this way, crying and crying were sent to the door, and after watching You Shi walk away, Mama Mao turned around and came back.
After entering the hospital, he went directly to the side hall, "Fifth girl, the old lady invites you to come over." ”
When Jiao Niang entered, she saw the old lady kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, chanting the scriptures in her mouth. Jiao Niang didn't quarrel with her, she stood quietly aside, and only when she stopped, did she go over to help her up.
"How long have you been here?" the old lady took the hand of the lady and sat down with her.
She was wearing a sandal-colored curved water pattern dress, and her face was ruddy.
Jiao Niang replied: "Just came here for a while." ”
Seeing that Jiao Niang was dressed the same as before she left in the morning, she knew that she had not had time to return to the room, so she came here first, and the old lady ironed in her heart. She is now half of the King of Rui, but she has no arrogance, she is still unreserved, and she is as humble and polite as before.
The old lady's mood slowly broadened, and she asked Jiao Niang how she and Rui Wang got along today, and Jiao Niang picked up one or two irrelevant things and said to her.
"King Rui said, I and he will not be silent beforehand, and wait for the dust to settle. "This is Jiao Niang's proposal, I am afraid that Ji and Hua Meiniang will make a hindrance, and who knows if there will be any changes at that time.
The old lady is not the one who becomes frivolous because of a little thing, she also agrees with this, and can't help nodding, "King Rui is far-sighted, and he is also thinking about your reputation. Looking at Jiao Niang and smiling, "It seems that King Rui is indeed interested in you, and these things are thought about for you." ”
Jiao Niang's cheeks were slightly red, she only smiled, and then asked, "Is Zhu Niang really not good?"
"Do you know everything?" Jiao Niang nodded, and the old lady sighed: "It has been in a state of blood collapse, and now it is a sigh of hanging with medicine, poor that child, she is only fourteen years old, only blame her for her miserable ......life" The old lady did not say the rest of the words, and turned into a sigh.
Although Jiao Niang and Zhu Niang only have one side, they have the impression that she is very different from You Shi and Yueniang, and she has always been quiet, and even quietly will not make a sound when eating.
Such a cardamom woman can be a cash cow for her mother and sister, and finally lost her life. And Na You, until she dies, will also exchange her for another sum of money.
But everyone has their own life, and Jiao Niang can't do anything except pity and sympathy for her.
"Then the old lady wants to come forward for the fourth aunt?" asked Jiao Niang with the old lady's expression.
The old lady wiped the flat needles on her clothes with her fingers, made a "snort", and mocked: "Then You Shi doesn't know how many catties and taels he is, and he wants to find King Rui to press this kind of thing, and it's not embarrassing enough." I didn't agree, I didn't refuse, I let her dry her for two days, don't let her think it's so easy to beg someone. ”
Mama Mao brought the tea, the old lady took a sip, and her face softened slightly, "But then again, this matter can't be ignored, she has a sentence that is right, in the end, it is a family, and she can't write two surnames." If you let the Guo family bully us into our Hua family, you will let outsiders think that we are all easy to bully. ”
Putting the teacup on the side of the small table, he wiped his mouth, and smiled at Jiao Niang and Yan Yuese, "Don't worry about these things, just stay with King Rui for a few more days." I still have a few good materials here, and I will let the tailor come home in a while, and make a few sets for you, so that you can wear them beautifully in front of King Rui, so that he will not forget you when he returns to Beijing. ”
Jiao Niang's face flushed, she took her arm and snuggled up to her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother laughs at me." ”
On the day Yingche left, the sky was clear and the wind was clear, and Jiao Niang sent him outside the city. When parting, it is necessary to be gentle and careful.
Jiao Niang was held in Yingche's arms, and her lips grinded on her sideburns.
Nowadays, it is very popular among the nobles in the capital to use osmanthus, jasmine and other flowers to squeeze flower oil, and apply it to the hair, which can make the hair bright and black, and the hair will not be messy on the scalp.
But Jiao Niang just blended a little petal when washing her hair, except for the fragrance of flowers, there was nothing else.
She knew that Ying Che didn't like to put flower oil on women's heads, and felt like a greasy layer of fat on pork, and she felt disgusting when she smelled it.
"Your Highness came to pick me up today, what did you say to your grandmother while you were waiting in the hall?" Jiao Niang raised her head slightly and looked at Ying Che.
Jiao Niang's skin was like jade, Yingche's fingers rubbed her cheeks carefully, and said, "I didn't say anything, I just asked her to take good care of you." ”
Jiao Niang flattened her mouth and said angrily: "Is Your Highness a Jiao Niang is a child, take care of this, take care of that, just like my father." ”
Ying Che raised his eyebrows and pretended to be angry, "This king listens to what it means, why does it seem that you are disgusting this king?"
Jiao Niang smiled slyly, her smart eyes were crystal bright, "How dare Jiao Niang? His Royal Highness is only ten years older than Jiao Niang, and he is in his prime." "The word ten years old deliberately bites hard.
Knowing that he was teasing him, Ying Che was not angry, and pinched her nose with a smile, "You are a narrow ghost." Jiao Niang also smiled lightly in his arms.
After grinding his ears and temples like this, Ying Che pointed to a yellow pear water-patterned flat wooden box on the small table on the carriage, "Bring it." ”
Jiao Niang gave it to him as she said, but Ying Che didn't take it, and raised it at her, "Open it and take a look, give it to you." ”
Jiao Niang hesitated slightly, but still opened the wooden box, inside was a piece of tissue paper, she looked at Ying Che suspiciously, and the other party only nodded and encouraged. Without hesitation, he unfolded the paper and saw that it was a house deed.
