Chapter 128: Asking for help
Honeysuckle didn't expect that on the seventh day of the first month, Songyan's mother came to the door.
She was dressed in a soap-colored shirt, her face looked a little yellow, but her hands were much whiter than her face, and she held a tray with a tray embroidered with various auspicious patterns.
"The slave's name is Xianghe, and he is doing work in the sewing room, and the lady asked him to send some sachets to each room, and he has to go out for fifteen miles to facilitate rewarding."
If you reward money, reward more than others, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of showing off wealth, and if you reward less than others, you will be scolded for being poor and sour, it is a decent person's practice to put it in a small sachet.
When Xianghe spoke, he was a little rigid, word by word, as if he had recited it many times, and his voice trembled.
Xie Jingyi smiled, "Father went out of the courtyard, and mother led her sisters out as guests." I'm home alone. Bothering my grandmother to go on this trip, my grandmother bothered. ”
Xianghe heard Xie Jingyi say, a spirit, her mouth opened, and she didn't know where to start, she raised her eyes and looked at the little girl sitting on it, who looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, small, milky, and looked like a doll that hadn't grown up.
But now no one in the entire Yongping Hou Mansion knows, this little girl is a powerful character, and she has made the eldest lady angry several times, and in Mrs. Hou's courtyard, since she came, she has changed eighteen sets of new tea utensils.
There are others, because her husband's ancestors are all born in the family, so she only knew.
A few days ago, the houses in the house were poisoned, and even the big room didn't dare to say anything, but the one in front of him must have an explanation, the main courtyard killed a grandmother that night, and the lady came to the Chuntang courtyard in person, and sat for a while before leaving.
That grandmother, but Mrs. Hou's dowry grandmother, has been in charge of the sacrifice in the house, and Mrs. smashed the eighth vase that day.
This matter is bloody and bloody, and no one dares to talk about it, but when they see the second room, they are more or less shocked, and they dare not be as sloppy as before.
Seeing that there was nothing to say, and that honeysuckle was about to come out to see off the guests, Xianghe turned his heart and stammered, "The slave name Xianghe is...... It's Songyan's mother, and today I specially begged for this errand to send a purse, in order to ask my little mother to save my hard-working child. ”
Once the words were spoken, Xianghe calmed down.
There is nothing wrong with her doing work in the sewing room, but this kind of work of delivering things on weekdays is not her turn, because she can not only invite merit to be familiar in front of the master's family, but sometimes she can also get a reward.
Their family is an old man in the house, they have their own dignity, even if they don't fight, they can also have a foothold, and they don't think much about it, but when this thing came, they found out that there were many Buddhas before, and now they are miserable.
Xianghe thought, his eyes were red, and he regretted not getting up at the beginning.
Xie Jingyi's eyes widened in surprise, "It turned out to be Songyan's mother, and Songyan took good care of my family's youth." It's just ......"
Xie Jingyi said, pausing with a little embarrassment, "You also know, our second room has entered this Hou Mansion for less than a month, and it is a concubine, in front of Mrs., there is no decency, and I can't speak." If you are in trouble, why don't you ask your wife for help, she is a Bodhisattva-like person, and she will not sit idly by. ”
Xianghe's mouth moved, and he stopped talking, and after a while, he didn't know how to say it, so he only kowtowed to Xie Jingyi.
Xie Jingyi glanced at Honeysuckle, who immediately went over and helped her up.
"Mama don't be like this, the things in this house, my lady doesn't know, isn't it good to be a dowry to the eldest lady of the big house?" Honeysuckle said while holding Xianghe.
Xianghe's tears fell suddenly, "Blame me, blame me." Although my husband's family is a child, he has always been doing some inconspicuous work, and he can't say anything in this house. The little lady didn't know when she first arrived, but the Wen family was really ......"
Xianghe gritted his teeth as he spoke, and his voice was a little quieter, "The Wen family is really not a good place to go, when they came back to the door, it was my father-in-law who received them." It's just that the Wen family is broken, Mrs. Nawen is mean and unkind, and when she gets off the carriage, she wants my father-in-law to lie down and be a stool. ”
"We have been in the mansion for so many years, neither Master Hou nor Mrs. Hou have been like this. The three little ladies of the Wen family are all not easy to serve. Pity my two children, who are only eight years old now...... If you go to Nafu, you may not know what you will be like. ”
"I'm stupid, and I can't tell lies, Songyan said that Xiaoniang is a kind person, and she treats donkeys with sincerity, so I cheekily begged to come over."
"The Wen family is like this, does Dafang know?" Xie Jingyi frowned and asked softly.
"Yes, there were quite a few people there. Mrs. Wen is high-flying, and she has a marriage certificate in hand. ”
Xie Jingyi was taken aback, "You also wrote a marriage book?" ”
Xianghe nodded, "It was in the autumn and winter of last year that I came to the door, not only with the marriage certificate, but also with the token given by the Hou Ye." At that time, Dafang did not agree, and Mrs. Dafang instructed us not to mention such a family affair, and no one thought that this family affair could be done at that time. Mrs. Dafang is preparing to get married, and the people she chooses are all powerful people. ”
"Now that this family affair is done, some people are not suitable, and the companion room is vacant. Yujiao Niangzi was very upset, a few days ago Mrs. Dafang invited the Taoist priest to calculate the future, saying that it was to add blessings and joy, these days Mrs. Dafang is looking for auspicious things everywhere, and I don't know which one invites merit, I mentioned it, and the Taoist priest counted it, saying that they are the eight characters Wang Yujiao Niangzi ......"
Xie Jingyi listened, gritting her teeth with even more hatred for this family, she only thought that Xie Yujiao saw that the Wen family's family was too low and unwilling to marry her, so she asked Xie Jingxian to replace her, and she didn't know that the Wen family was the den of this tiger and leopard wolf, and now it seems that they know it clearly.
I don't want to jump, so I push others down.
Xianghe saw that Xie Jingyi was silent, and called anxiously, "Little lady, please help me." ”
Xie Jingyi pondered for a moment and glanced at her, "Your in-laws, did you serve in the mansion when the original Mrs. Hou was still in the mansion?" ”
When Xianghe heard this, he nodded busily, "Yes, since the Xie family has a name, my husband's family has been here." ”
Xie Jingyi narrowed her eyes, it was the same as what she inquired about, otherwise, why would she let Honeysuckle win over Songyan early?
Sometimes it's just to pave the way for the future, Xie Jingyi secretly laughed at himself for a while in his heart, he is really not a good person!
"Go back, I'll go to the stables in a few days to see the young people." If possible, I would like to hear from the old man about the ancients. ”
Xianghe was stunned for a moment, and nodded ignorantly.
Xie Jingyi smiled and motioned for Honeysuckle to send her out.
While walking, Honeysuckle said loudly, "Thank you for your advice, my little lady likes rich flowers, I always embroider so badly, I can't see it, today after you dialed it so little, you can be regarded as understanding the problem." ”
Xianghe echoed again and again.
Honeysuckle laughed, "Be careful of this threshold, it's slippery outside." I would like to thank Madame for her kindness. ”
Xianghe looked at the door and suddenly realized that she had been in it for too long, and Honeysuckle had even found a reason for her.
