Old Madam Feng's small Buddha hall was built in the courtyard behind the garden of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion.

Mrs. Feng's small Buddha hall was changed from a small ear room, the place is not big, but there are all kinds of flowers and tributes. On the incense table is enshrined a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva carved from rosewood, the Bodhisattva's compassionate face, quiet and peaceful, full of love, overlooking the beings below.

Old Madam Feng had already ordered the maid to light incense, and the hall suddenly became smoky.

After the maid Chunming, who was waiting closely, put a soft brocade cushion in front of the incense case, Feng Lao'an knelt on it, closed his eyes slightly, and moved the string of one hundred and eight Nanmu Buddha beads in his hand.

Jiang Huarong, the eldest girl of the Dingwu Hou Mansion, wore a light green embroidered butterfly flying placket, curled a falling horse bun, and sat on the bamboo chair not far away with a worried look, her eyes glanced out from time to time, and she twisted the pale pink square scarf in her hand, as if she was waiting for someone to appear.

Chun Ming looked at the eldest girl with a worried look, and felt that if the old lady finished chanting later, seeing the appearance of the eldest girl, she might be angry again, and hurriedly persuaded her.

"Big girl, if you come, you will be safe, since you have come to ask the old lady, don't think about it. If the eldest girl really doesn't like the second son of the Liu family, the old lady loves the eldest girl so much, and for the sake of the eldest girl's lifelong event, she will go to the Liu family to withdraw this marriage. ”

Chun Ming said, personally brought a cup of tea up, and placed it on the high table next to Jiang Huarong.

Jiang Huarong picked up the tea cup handed over by Chun Ming, and before he could take a few sips, Jiang Huarong didn't hold it steady for a while, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

The lotus-patterned tea bowl of blue and white porcelain was torn apart, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground, and the green brick floor was only cleaned after the tea was wet.

Although the sound of the tea cup breaking was not loud, it fell into the ears of Old Madam Feng, who stopped the Buddha beads in her hand, opened her eyes and glanced at Jiang Huarong, and asked, "Chunming, what's wrong?" Who broke the teacup?"

Chun Ming bent down to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and replied, "Please forgive the old lady!" It was the slave who had no idea for a while, and did not hold the teacup in her hand steadily, causing the teacup to slip down for a while and fall to the ground. The slave and maid swept away the debris so as not to hurt others. ”

As he spoke, Chun Ming immediately ordered the little maid who was waiting outside to come in and swept out all the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

When the waiting maid cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, Jiang Huarong immediately sent away the maid who was waiting in the house.

walked to Old Madam Feng's side, knelt beside Old Madam Feng, tears wet her eyes all of a sudden, and she choked up: "Grandmother, Hua Rong doesn't have the second son of the Liu family in his heart at all, and Hua Rong doesn't like him at all." Grandmother insisted on marrying Hua Rong to the Liu family, why is this?

Could it be that because Hua Rong is the eldest daughter in the family, he has to give away his granddaughter's life? ”

Old Madam Feng put down the Buddha beads in her hand, looked at Jiang Huarong, who was already crying in front of her, and although she couldn't bear it in her heart, she still persuaded her.

"Hua Rong! You are the eldest daughter of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion, you should put the interests of the family first, and you should not play the temper of a small family, how can you say that if you don't marry, you won't marry?"

"The Liu family in Dingyang has been snubbed by His Majesty, and their sons and daughters are more able to endure hardships than others, and the second son of the Liu family is a talented person, if you marry him, he will never treat you badly.

You said that you have the son of the Tao family in your heart, although the Tao family is your grandfather's family, and the person you married is your cousin, but have you ever thought that your mother-in-law is also your aunt, after marrying, wouldn't it be better to control you?"

Jiang Huarong seemed to have blinded his ears, pretending not to hear Old Madam Feng's advice, and still refusing to let go.

"Grandmother, my granddaughter was also raised in your house, my granddaughter doesn't have the second son of the Liu family in her heart, even if she is married, he treats me very well, I don't have him in my heart, don't I let him down? Instead of making a mess and making the two families look bad at that time, it is better to simply call someone to withdraw from the marriage. ”

"Nonsense! Huarong! You are a girl from the Jiang family, how can you say such nonsense? Then the second son of the Liu family has a deep affection for you, how can you live up to him? Old Madam Feng said, the evil fire in her heart had already hooked out Jiang Huarong's words.

Her own granddaughter, who stayed by her side for a few days, thought about going to her grandfather's house again? They Dingwu Hou Mansion, is it so inferior to the Tao family?

The son and daughter-in-law are just towards the Tao family, after all, she is surnamed Tao, and it is understandable to think of her mother's family in her heart. How did you give birth to a daughter who is also towards the Tao family?

I chose a good family, a good marriage, but I don't want it? Do you have to rush to marry the Tao family?

What is so good about the Tao family, that they can fascinate their own granddaughter, and now they don't even listen to what she says.

"Hua Rong, the eldest wife of the Zhengding Liu family and your mother have also known each other since childhood, the second son of the Liu family, you also saw it when you were a child, and you called your sister that.

A few years ago, he came to our house and fell in love with you at a glance, at that time the Liu family had not yet prospered, although the second son of the Liu family had you in his heart, he did not dare to come to the door to propose, for fear that he would not be able to climb high. ”

As she spoke, Old Madam Feng had already stood up from the brocade mat, and Chun Ming also entered the room in time to wait for Old Madam Feng to sit on the soft couch beside her.

Placing the snacks and tea on the table on the small table on the soft couch, Chun Ming reminded in a voice that only Old Madam Feng could hear.

"Old lady, Aunt Feng is here, with a sad face, as if she is not very happy."

"Now that there are more young and beautiful girls in the master's study, when was she happy? usually leaves his identity and is busy competing with those girls for jealousy, and it is common to lose his face. Go and invite her in! ”

Old Madam Feng sat down on the soft couch, looked at Jiang Huarong not far away, still sobbing in a low voice, shook her head helplessly, and reminded her.

"Hua Rong, it's time for Aunt Feng to come in! Don't let her see you like this, go down and wash up! ”

As she spoke, Old Madam Feng glanced at the maid who was waiting beside Jiang Huarong.

The little maid got the old lady's signal, and went to the ear room next door to freshen up with Jiang Huarong in her arms.

But after half a cup of tea, Chun Ming led Aunt Feng into the small Buddha hall, Chun Ming took Aunt Feng to the incense case, took three sticks of incense to her, and Aunt Feng gave the Bodhisattva three sticks of incense, before she came to Mrs. Feng's side and sat on the soft couch opposite Mrs. Feng.

Aunt Feng's original name was Feng Shuiling, and she was the only daughter of Mrs. Feng's brother, and she was raised by Mrs. Feng in her early years.

Later, when Tao was pregnant with Jiang Zhiming, Jiang Baiyang had no one around him to serve him, so Mrs. Feng asked Jiang Haiyang to make a concubine for Feng Shuilingna, and Aunt Feng was the niece of Mrs. Feng, and Tao fought in the house for many years.

It's just that today's Feng Shuiling doesn't look so watery, the whole person seems to have not slept for a long time, haggard a lot, dazed, and has no energy.

Even if Aunt Feng didn't say it, Old Madam Feng would know it. These days, Tao stuffed a few young and beautiful maids into Jiang Haiyang's study, on the surface, they said that they were girls who served pen and ink, but in fact, Tao wanted to share Aunt Feng's favor.
