Chapter 17 Mother-in-law's eyeliner

Xu Shi asked, just bowed his head, and made a respectful appearance, in this kind of matter, it is still necessary to ask the old lady to call the shots, one is that Wen Du rarely mentions Wen Xu, but as far as she knows, Wen Du still loved this cousin a long time ago, and second, she didn't know the temperament of that aunt, and she couldn't tell if she was a mean person with a poisonous mouth like Ye's, in case it was, no matter which concubine she chosen, it was easy to let that concubine be rumored to be unpleasant, so as to hate herself, she was not afraid of being hated by the concubine, but more is better than less. Therefore, this arrow still has to be blocked by the old lady, and Xu is full of respect: "The daughter-in-law thinks that it is better to ask the old lady to call the shots." After all, the daughter-in-law has only been in charge of government affairs for more than ten years, and she has very little contact with the second lord's mansion next door, so she really doesn't know which concubine to choose. ”

Mrs. Wen looked at Xu's appearance and knew her plan, it was the same as the last time Aunt Xiao's tablet, she always forced herself to make a decision, she Xu followed behind, there were bad ones, others blamed themselves, some were good, she Xu was also stained.

Old Madam Wen's eyes were cold, and she felt uncomfortable, so she looked at the golden hairpin with two peaches and branches on Xu's head and said lightly: "Let Yujun go." After all, Wen Xu is now also the imperial history in front of the palace, you let an ordinary concubine go, whether it is not on the stage, or is it appropriate for Yujun. ”

Xu's expression changed slightly: "Yujun? ”

Old Madam Wen nodded and affirmed: "Although Yujun is a concubine, she is now raised in your Bitao Courtyard, and her identity is naturally more noble than that of the concubine raised by your aunt's side." Besides, Wen Du has never claimed that Yujun is raised under your knees, and she will show her face the day after tomorrow, and it just so happens that Wen Xu has a broken mouth around her, and they spread it out, and the whole capital knows that Yujun's concubine is no longer an ordinary concubine. ”

Xu was quite surprised by the old lady's decision, for some reason, she always felt that the old lady's decision was not so good, she sank into her mind, but after all, she couldn't refute the old lady's idea, but if she didn't refute it, she felt unwilling, she wanted Yujun to be silent in Bitao Courtyard all her life, obscure, no one cared, the old lady wanted her to treat people, which was contrary to Xu's thoughts, Xu grabbed Luo Pa, resisted under strong pressure, and persuaded euphemistically: "It's not good, Aunt Xiao just died, Yujun still has filial piety, not suitable." ”

No matter how powerful the fox is, there are times when she shows her tail, no matter how well Xu pretends on weekdays, when she really lets Shu take the lead, she really shows her true nature. Old Madam Wen smiled heartily, stroked the small copper stove in her hand with her hand, and said with an indifferent smile: "There is nothing that is not suitable." Aunt Xiao's tablet is in the side room of the ancestral hall, and the tablet of Wen Xu's biological mother is also in the side room of the ancestral hall. Where is it inappropriate, besides, Aunt Xiao's first seven have also passed, and it is appropriate no matter how inappropriate it is. ”

The Xu family also wanted to dismiss the old lady on the grounds that Yujun was young and afraid that too many people would show timidity at once, but the old lady Wen immediately squinted, looked lazy, and called Han Lian and said: "It's really old, and I still want to take a nap in winter." Bao Xin, you help me to lie down for a while. ”

Seeing that the old lady was going to take a nap, Xu felt quite helpless, and he couldn't bother anymore, so he had to get up and leave.

There is a road between Yongxiu Temple and Bitao Temple, and the snow on the road has been swept away by the third-class maids. ”

Bao Xin was puzzled: "Letting Miss Yujun go to the festival may not be a lift." Aunt Han is a dusty woman, who knows what kind of virtue she is! If she and the Ye family are all the way, and her mouth is poisonous, then the slightest mistake or omission in Yujun's etiquette will be spread very unbearable. So, Miss Yujun goes, who knows if it's good or bad! ”

Xu shook his head when he heard this, "What does the old lady not know, I think she just has the intention of lifting Yujun!" He stopped his steps and said to Bao Xin: "I don't believe that the old lady doesn't know why the Ye family can't participate in the ceremony, you can send a maid to the Yongxiu Monastery to inquire later." ”

Bao Xin responded, and Xu raised his head again: "The old lady looks like she is not caring and fooling, but in fact, she is fine, all the wind and grass in the second master's house next door can't hide from the old lady, when the old lady Wen died, after our master and the second master separated, the second master's biological mother, Aunt Xu, moved to the next house with Wen Xu, and the old lady has always been worried that Aunt Xu will provoke the discord between Wen Xu's brothers, so she has placed a lot of her own people next to Aunt Xu, even if Aunt Xu is dead, there is still an old lady's eyeliner in Wen Xu's house. It's just that the old lady is shrewd and hides deeply, like a crocodile in the water. Without a big storm, she wouldn't have come out. However, the Ye family has offended the old lady a lot in the past, and the old lady will definitely be able to grasp the reason why she can't come. ”

Bao Xin nodded and said, "The slave maid knows, and the slave maid will ask Petal Hong to inquire about the flower discount of the Yongxiu Monastery later." ”

Xu nodded, the willow leaf eyes flowed, and the eyes that were as deep as a cold pool contained a wisp of unbreakable determination, looking at a bare willow branch on the side of the road, but he turned subtle and said tactfully: "Speaking of which, the Yongxiu Monastery is really as strong as an iron bucket, I have repeatedly wanted to put someone next to the old lady, but the old lady has shirked it for various reasons, and now there is finally a flower fold willing to send a message to our Bitao Courtyard, you have to let the petals be careful, don't be discovered by the Han Lian." Also, reward more good flowers for discounts. People die for money, birds die for food, you reward her more, she will take the initiative to hand out any news next time, no need for us to inquire. ”

Bao Xin replied softly, looked up at the gate of Bitao Courtyard, and Xu said, "Let's also send more eyeliner to Yujun's side." ”

Bao Xin understood: "The slave will pick out a suitable girl as soon as possible and send it to Miss Yujun for eyeliner." ”

In the Yongxiu Temple, Mrs. Wen sat on the couch, playing with a jasper inlaid quail Ruyi in her hand, playing with the slender Ruyi handle in her hand, Mrs. Wen's slender and capable fingertips slowly crossed from the jasper handle, and the jade texture of cool silk silk was transmitted to the fingertips, and Mrs. Wen's head and neck were lowered, contemplative, like a crane drinking water.

The room was warm, Xiao Ru made a pot of light blue tea filtered by Yunfeng's tooth shoots, and saw Han Lian standing on the side, the old lady was silent, so she took the initiative to walk to the small square table beside the old lady, and picked up a square cup to get a cup of tea. After putting down the teapot, Xiaoru withdrew, Mrs. Wen raised her head, a little uncomfortable, worried about Ruyi, and said in a muffled voice: "This Ruyi was given to me by Wen when she married Ye Fuhua." Wen continued, this kid, oh, it's hard to make me hate, and it's hard to like it. Although it is a concubine, in terms of filial piety to me, it is not inferior to Wen Dui, but he was provoked by his biological mother Aunt Xu Meiyan and Aunt Ye to have a lot of children with me. ”

Han Lian pursed her lips and smiled: "People's hearts are separated from the belly, the second master is not your own child, no matter how much you respect you in your heart, after all, it is not as good as Master Wendui, Master Wendui is your own child, no matter how negligent you are in courtesy, it is also the meat on your body." Even if Master Wen Xu gives you 10,000 jade ruyi, it is just a courtesy, and Master Wen Du will not give anything, but will save the province in the morning and dusk, which is also filial piety. ”

The old lady sighed: "If I had been ruthless and didn't let Xu Meiyan marry into my Wen family, my Shu'er would not have died." If I am ruthless and don't let Xu Meiyan split up with Wen Xu, Ye Fuhua will not marry Wen Xu. Perhaps, Wen Xu will be able to marry a better daughter-in-law, and there will be no such things. ”
