Chapter 211: Hurry up and put out the fire
The eldest uncle's mother's angry debut was defeated, and now at the banquet, I felt particularly unappetizing, and all the sorrows and hatreds were accumulated in my stomach, and it looked like I had eaten enough, but Aunt Xue also complained about her: "Cousin didn't say that your nephew and daughter-in-law are an orphan girl who came out of a broken household, and there is only one stepbrother above who is still a white body, and she can't get on the stage without support?" But the second old lady of Xuan Zhutang clearly maintained her very well, and that's it, how did Shu Niangzi treat her? I'm afraid that even the younger generations of my own family are no different, even the old lady of the Shen family is full of praise for her at the banquet!
There is also Princess Qin, I look at it and I am also close to the Gu family, doesn't it mean that Concubine Zheng in the palace resents the Gu family for the matter of Zheng Sangongzi of the Rongguo Mansion? In my opinion, this is not the case at all! Today, I humiliated the Gu family in public for the sake of my cousin, and now it's good, not only will it be difficult to enter the door of the Taishi Mansion in the future, but Shu Niangzi and Princess Qin will not please at all. ”
Aunt Xue only felt that she had a trip today, but she suffered a big loss, and her cousin had to make up for it, how did she know that when her aunt heard her words, she was angry: "I asked you to provoke the Gu family and make her embarrassed in public, but you are good, you didn't provoke her, but gave someone a handle!" If you hadn't said the wrong thing on the scene, no matter how much the second old lady and Shu Niangzi protected their shortcomings, there would be no reason to embarrass me! I don't know how to explain it this time, but you complained first, and it seems that if you haven't experienced today's incident, the Taishi Mansion can treat your relatives who can't be beaten with eight poles as honored guests, and Shu Niangzi and Princess Qin can look down on you. ”
Uncle Zhu and Third Uncle Zhu are brothers of the same mother, the eldest aunt and the third uncle are usually close, the third uncle looked around and saw that there was no idleness, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't blame the Xue family, if you want me to say, it's all Cao's mother's fault." Who said that Gu was mean and arrogant, and didn't know anything about everyone's rules? Who said that except for Brother Ting'er who was confused by the Gu family's beauty, the elders in the Taishi Mansion did not want to see the Gu family? Not to mention the fact that the Gu family turned out to be the daughter of Shu Niangzi's family. ”
The eldest aunt also came back to her senses, shook the hand of the third aunt gratefully, and resolutely decided that Mother Cao was the first choice for the scapegoat.
The third aunt said again: "We underestimated the Gu family, how much we offended her today, if she holds a grudge, she may instigate Shu Niangzi and Princess Qin to target us in the future, so that we will inevitably not be snubbed in the circle of officials and relatives in Beijing, not only Qingyu's future, but I am afraid that it will have an impact on a family of nephews, I know that my sister-in-law does not look down on Gu's, and I also hate such flattering and treacherous women, and her market habits do not have the elegance of a scholarly family, but the situation is pressing, and we should show favor and peace to her at the moment." ”
She also knew that her aunt was arrogant and afraid that it would be difficult to put down the shelf for a while, so she decided to take responsibility for this humiliating matter, so she paid attention to Chungui, and it was easy to see that she was free, so she hurriedly piled up a smile and pulled Chungui aside to speak: "The Xue family's lady has a tricky temperament, and I don't know why she misunderstood you, and only said those insinuations today, your aunt is a straight person, so she didn't have a twisted heart, and she didn't reflect the meaning of Xue Niangzi's words. Don't misunderstand that your aunt still has a prejudice against you. ”
"Aunt Xue is Aunt Xue, the eldest aunt is the eldest aunt, the third aunt can rest assured, and the nephew and daughter-in-law can tell the difference."
Spring returns are not soft or hard, and the smile should arrive.
The third aunt's eyes were deep, she naturally understood that Chungui's words were not actually the meaning of turning war into jade silk, and said in her heart that an orphan girl did not know the height of the sky, and she was indeed worthy of the word "arrogant", but her smiling face was a little softer: "I know that although He Rou is the maid who was chosen by Brother Ting's biological mother for him, the child is stupid and stupid, and his temperament is a little stubborn, and he has a tendon in his head and never knows how to be flexible, Brother Ting and you don't look down on her, but she is also old, so it's not good to keep delaying like this, Now that Cao's mother has returned to the Zhu family, and Rou worshiped her as a godmother, it is also time for Cao's mother to find another family for her, today is Brother Ting's champion wedding banquet, you naturally don't care about dealing with such trivial matters, only wait for a few days The banquet will stop, and we will bring Herou back. ”
Chun Gui is still not soft or hard to smile: "The uncle also mentioned the matter of harmony to his nephew and daughter-in-law, saying that he was still young at that time, and the family motto never allowed his son and nephew to have a maid early, so his mother just chose a few maids for him to serve and take care of daily life, but Cao's mother kept saying this, and Rou was indeed a little stupid in her heart, and always wanted to obey her mother's orders." The uncle had already intended to set her free, but when she heard it, she was looking for death and life...... So I can't agree to this matter on my own, I have to discuss it with my uncle first. ”
"Don't think about it too much, Brother Ting is soft-hearted, although he only treats Herou as a slave, but in the end it is also a life." The third aunt stretched out her hand to pull the spring return, wanting to show her closeness closely, but when she was quietly avoided, the motherly smile on her face did not have the slightest ossification: "Not to mention the sister of Herou, who was loyal to the martyr back then, so that the third sister would not be alone on the underworld, Brother Ting'er's temperament has always been introverted, how many words are hidden in his heart and refuse to say it, but the mother and son are connected, and the love of blood and flesh cannot be separated, he remembers the deceased mother in his heart, and the more he can't bear to see Herou lose his life." ”
This sounds like it is for Lan Ting, but after thinking about it carefully, it doesn't mean this, no matter how humble the slave is, it is also a life, and he agrees, and he doesn't think that the life of the slave and maid is as cheap as a mustard, but it can't be because she wants to die or live entanglement, Lan Ting can only accept her as a concubine in the end, right? Lan Ting remembered his deceased mother in his heart, and he couldn't ignore Sister Herou's loyal martyrdom, maybe he still had the idea of accepting Herou as a concubine, but it was delayed because he paid more attention to the love between husband and wife at this time.
Of course, Chun Gui didn't show this suspicion, but he couldn't help but doubt it in his heart, and laughed at himself again for a long time: I have always prided myself on being shrewd and rational, and I never believed those hearsay gossip, not to mention that I didn't know the heart of the uncle of the Zhu family, knowing that they had bad intentions, why did I listen to this ill-intentioned provocation?
It seems that these days are really too stopping, and everyone is stupid!
While pondering, she turned into the door of the moon cave, knowing that almost all the ladies who came to visit today were gathered here to have fun, although there were many maids and servants waiting around her, and it was impossible to be sluggish, but Chungui still came over from time to time to take care of the girls who were not as old as those women who were older than the accident, and because of the difference in temperament and preferences, it was inevitable that they would be close to these few and those but they were not used to each other, in case of quarrels and quarrels, Chungui did not expect the second girl in the family to be able to turn around and calm down, she didn't
Thank goodness for taking the lead.
There was a burst of laughter, and the spring return saw a few girls swinging, walked a few steps, and saw a few girls around watching the swimming fish in the canal, and the eldest girl had a few girls in the clan who accompanied the guests to laugh in the pavilion not far away, looking happy and calm, and the atmosphere was good, but the spring returned to turn around this half circle and did not see Sister Lan Xin.
But this is the main object of care for Spring Return.
called a servant woman to come over and ask, only to find out that the second sister and a few girls were in Tingxie, which was the other half of the circle that the spring return had not yet turned to. She was heading over there, but she didn't think about it, but she saw the canal fluttering over, and when she saw her, she fell out of the air: "I was thinking of calling you, but you came by yourself." Let me tell you, I've been staring at that Tao girl for you today, and the weirdness at the beginning is not to be mentioned, but the current one is even more wrong. ”
Chun Hui followed Ju Xi, it was not good to talk to Qu Chu, and Qu Chu was also afraid that she would bother the fairy Yuyang Zhenjun for this reason, so she hurriedly said to herself: "Miss Tao somehow, clamoring to compete with your sister-in-law to try the pitcher, and your sister-in-law took out the inkstone that Zhao Lanting gave her in the past to make a bet. It is said that Zhao Lanxin will undoubtedly lose, there is no point in winning or losing, Zhao Lanxin is already angry, I think that Tao girl is deliberate, today is to provoke Zhao Lanxin to be irritable and rude, you go and persuade some, otherwise your sister-in-law will make a laughing and generous accident, Mrs. Peng will definitely put the fault on your head, who asked her to ask the old lady first, let you take care of these ladies today. ”
Chungui decisively quickened his pace, and rushed to the scene almost at a trot with Ju Xi, making Ju Xi confused, panting: "Why is Grandma suddenly in a hurry?" There are so many mothers-in-law and maids waiting, are you afraid that the girls will be neglected? ”
"Tateting Pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides, I'm afraid that the girls have drunk some fruit wine today, and it will be great if they fall into the water." Spring return can only be unfounded nonsense.
It is true that the Tingting Pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides, but of course there is a guardrail in the water pavilion, where will the ladies naughtily step on the guardrail and climb over the guardrail to complete this difficult "falling into the water".
No matter how irritable Miss Lanxin is, she is just a weak and weak young lady, and she doesn't have the brute force to smash the person who angers her into the water.
When Chungui finally arrived, there was really a tense atmosphere in the water pavilion, Zhao Lan sat on the beauty with a frosty face, and saw that Chungui was still motionless, but Cousin Tao came over with a smile: "The eldest cousin is here?" Just to testify for us, in front of so many people, the second sister agreed to give her the birthday gift given to her by her eldest cousin when she was old as a bet, if I am better, the second sister will have to cut love, if the second sister still wins, I will not have a second word about what she asks. ”
Zhao Lanxin glanced at her coldly, and said coldly: "Sister-in-law came just in time, but she has to witness the judgment, if Cousin Tao becomes my subordinate as before, I will let her imitate the dog and wagging her tail in public and beg for mercy, and she can't lose her word." ”
Chungui couldn't help but gasp.
