Chapter Seventy-Three: Questioning
"Mother Cui, you go and invite Feng Shuiling over to me, I don't have to guess about this matter, I also know that she made it up with Haiyang. Originally, my wife told me that Feng Shuiling was not a good person, and it was easy to get a son, and the baby was very good, and she didn't do this to pave the way for her son. Old Madam Feng said, pressing one hand on the table, trembling incessantly.
Cui's mother saw that Mrs. Feng was so angry that she just responded, and a little maid hurriedly walked in from outside the house, and said as soon as she entered the door: "Old lady, Aunt Feng asked me to invite you over, and my aunt invited Tailor Chen from Yangzonghai Silk Village to come in, saying that she wanted to sew new clothes for the old lady." ”
The little maid seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the house, raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Feng, seeing her looking at herself with an angry face, the little maid was puzzled, and looked at Mother Cui beside her, only to see her blinking, as if to remind the little maid of something.
But where can that little girl understand what Cui's mother means? Seeing that Cui's mother blinked, she took a step forward curiously and asked, "What's wrong with Mom's eyes?" Why do you keep blinking?"
Asked by the little maid like this, Cui's mother smiled awkwardly, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she was stunned for a long time before she said: "The old lady asked me to invite Aunt Feng to come over, and Miss Qiulu came over, what a coincidence!" ”
"Really? The slave maid also thinks it's a coincidence, but I don't know what the old lady asked her mother to ask her aunt to come over? "The little maid who talked to Cui's mother was the little maid Qiulu who was waiting beside Feng Shuiling, because of her fast legs and feet, Feng Shuiling asked her to be the maid who sent messages and things in the inner courtyard.
Qiu Lu turned her head and took a closer look at the expression of the old lady Feng on the seat, and saw that she had been looking at herself, with her other hand on the table, looking at herself viciously.
"Go and invite your aunt over, just say that I have something to say to her, let her come over quickly." Old Madam Feng's face was full of anger, and the whole person was already so angry that she sat up straight.
Qiu Lu has been serving by Feng Shuiling's side for many years, and she still has some ability to look at people's colors, but Old Lady Feng angrily called Aunt Feng to come, did she want to reprimand Aunt Feng?
After Qiu Lu withdrew, she returned to Aunt Feng's Huixin Courtyard and told Feng Shuiling everything that had just happened in Shou'an Hall, including the fact that Cui's mother kept winking at her as soon as she entered the door.
Feng Shuiling shook his head and slammed Qiu Lu's forehead, "Silly girl, Mother Cui is reminding you that the old lady is angry now, and you also said that big call, didn't you touch the old lady's brows." That's it, I'll go to Shou'an Hall to see why the old lady is angry?"
Feng Shuiling said, the little maid beside her who already had eyes came to help Feng Shuiling take care of her clothes, re-combed her makeup, and ordered her subordinates to prepare the food of Jiang Huarong, the second girl of the Jiang family, and Feng Shuiling went out.
Feng Shuiling gave birth to a son and a daughter for Jiang Haiyang, the first born was Jiang Zhicheng, who was loved by Jiang Haiyang, and the second girl of the Jiang family, Jiang Huarong, who was born later.
In the water pavilion of Shou'an Hall, Mrs. Feng knelt in front of the Buddha, holding the Buddha beads of one hundred and eight sons strung of rosewood in her hand, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was talking to Cai's mother who was standing on the side and waiting, "Shui Ling has always been a person with a city government, when Xinrong got married, she saw that the dowry I gave Xinrong was too rich, higher than my wife's, so she ran over and told me that my wife was not good, saying that my wife was mean to her, and punished her to stand in the ancestral hall and set rules. ”
Cui's mother took out three long incense sticks from the incense box beside her, lit them with a fire fold, and handed them to Mrs. Feng's hand, "Aunt Feng is now not what it used to be, I remember that when she first entered the house, the old lady felt sorry for her, and often mentioned Hou Ye, and asked Hou Ye to go to her house to sit more, and finally gave birth to a Zhicheng brother, thinking that the hard days were over, who knew that Mrs. Feng stuffed a few more beautiful concubines into Hou Ye's house, wanting to share her favor." ”
"My wife did the right thing, but unfortunately she did it the wrong way. Stuffed those people in, not only did not divide Feng Shuiling's favor, but also deceived Hou Ye's body, causing Hou Ye to invite Dr. Feng outside to come in and prescribe tonic medicine for three days. At that time, Feng Shuiling had just finished giving birth, and he had already hidden in the house and watched his wife's jokes. ”
Mrs. Feng took the three pillars of incense handed over by Cui's mother, inserted them into the incense burner in front of the Buddha, and kowtowed three times reverently in front of the Buddha.
"In the end, it wasn't the wife who asked the old lady to come forward and let the old lady help send those women away, and the matter ended here." As she spoke, Mother Cui helped Mrs. Feng up, helped her to sit on the bamboo chair on the side, and told the little maid to make new tea.
"Where is it so easy to stop this matter? Hou Ye stayed in his wife's house afterwards, and Feng Shuiling, in order to take revenge on his wife, personally selected a few top-notch beauties and sent them to Hou Ye's study. made Hou Ye's body, which was originally hollowed out, become more and more empty, and finally gave birth to two sons. In our vein, people are gradually thinning. Mrs. Feng said, recalling the past again.
The title of Marquis of Dingwu was not inherited by the people of their house at the beginning, although they were thin, they were the head of the house, and the other heads of the house, although the people were prosperous, were from the house. The other people in the house were worried about the heirs of their house, so they specially reported a child from the remote head of the house to the Dingwu Hou Mansion, and that child was Jiang Fusheng.
Fortunately, Jiang Haiyang regarded him as his own, and the Tao family also gave birth to Jiang Zhiming later, so he did not let the position of the prince of Dingwu Hou fall into the hands of the next family.
"Is the old lady in the water pavilion?" Old Madam Feng was sitting in the hall when she heard Feng Shuiling's voice outside.
Then I saw Feng Shuiling with three or five maids walking into the hall where Mrs. Feng was.
"When I went to the Buddha hall just now, I didn't see the old lady, so I thought that the old lady should be in the hall at this moment. I don't know what the old lady is going to say when she passes me over? Feng Shuiling saluted Mrs. Feng according to the rules, and then dared to sit on the bamboo chair beside her.
Feng Shuiling changed into a pale pink embroidered cherry blossom Hang thick jacket, and there were not many hair ornaments on it, wearing a hairpin with burnt blue inlaid pearl rice grains, it looked like she was only twenty-five years old, in fact, Feng Shuiling was past the age of a, but the skin folds did not appear on her face, which shows that she usually pays attention to maintenance.
"You picked up Haiyang and told Erlang about the second girl of the original family, right?" Old Lady Feng ordered someone to bring tea to the high table next to Feng Shuiling, and then said coldly.
Feng Shuiling first picked up the tea cup on the high table, and then quickly put it down, "The old lady invited me over, isn't it for Erlang's marriage?" I just mentioned a few words to the old man, saying that she was a virtuous person, who knew that the Hou Ye would actually tell the second girl of the original family to Erlang?"
"You just mentioned a few words? I think it's the pillow wind you blow by Haiyang's side! The original family is a family that has been passed down for several generations, and there is no man in this generation, the eldest aunt of the original family still recruits relatives to enter, once Erlang and the second girl of the original family are married, wouldn't they want my Erlang to join their family?" When Old Madam Feng spoke, Cui's mother had already retreated from everyone, including the waiting maid who had just followed Feng Shuiling in, and then closed the door tightly and guarded the door.
