Chapter 6 Harmony with Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
Mrs. Wen is old and well-cultivated, when she was young, who dared to be so pretentious in front of her, she would have been slapped by her, but Xu is the daughter-in-law she picked, and she has to bear it.
Old Madam Wen smiled: "I am also worried when you say that. Then let's do it, I'll write you a note, and say, I ordered you not to allow the Xiao tablet to enter the main house of the ancestral hall, and you can go and do a big job. You don't have to worry about offending the master, can he still lose his temper with his mother for a side room! ”
When Xu heard this, he was satisfied, and he couldn't feel the irony in the old lady's words at all.
"Daughter-in-law, thank you mother."
"I'm old, you can let Hanlian write that note." The old lady's tone was lazy, and Xu Shi hurriedly went to find Hanlian.
After sending Xu away, a lantern had been hung under the heavy corridor outside, and the lantern reflected the snow, which was very beautiful.
Han Lian looked at the green bamboo chariot carrying the Xu family and snorted coldly, pushed the door and folded into the room, and said to the old lady: "The Xu family simply doesn't know what to do. I even want the old lady to write this kind of note, so that the old lady can play and suppress her son. It's as if the old lady is guarding against the old man. ”
The old lady smiled: "The Xu family is very good at retreating." It's just that she is the main room in the house, and she is not allowed to enter the main house of the ancestral hall, which is a reasonable request. I'll let her count me this time. ”
Han Lian hesitated: "That hairpin?" ”
"You don't have to reward her." After speaking, the old lady sighed, "Aunt Xiao has served the master for many years, and she can be regarded as sensible, although her identity is not very high-profile, but as an aunt, she can do it without fighting or grabbing, without being jealous, and it is not bad to raise Yujun." It's much better than Aunt Ruan Liu and the like. Xu had a miscarriage because of Aunt Xiao, I thought she would make things difficult for Aunt Xiao, but she didn't act excessively. Less than half a year after Xu's miscarriage, she was pregnant again, she was uncomfortable at that time, Aunt Xiao specially went over to give her massage, incense, and decoction, I thought she would take the opportunity to make things difficult for Aunt Xiao, but she didn't either. So I always think that Xu's wife is okay. Now that I think about it, I'm blindsided. She is good to the Xiao family, but she just wants to use the Xiao family to balance the two aunts of Ruan Liu. She is good to Xiao Shi, and it is estimated that she is also selfish. Today, she has revealed her trick of retreating to advance, I don't know how many turmoil will be in this house in the future, without the Xiao family's balance and Ruan Liu's two aunts! ”
Han Lian smiled: "I have been coldly watching my wife's actions over the years, but there is something terrible about it." However, depending on how powerful the Xu family is, after all, the old lady in the house is the biggest. ”
Han Lian said, lit a pillar of "Dream Changqing" in the incense burner on the square table in the small four corners, and then spread a silver-white background and red silk satin quilt with gold flowers on the side of the kang, covered it with Mrs. Wen, and said with a smile: "Old lady, go to sleep, it's already late at night." ”
Cai Xiu Caizhu finally persuaded Yu Jun, who was crying and her eyes were swollen like walnuts, to return to Mingxin Xiaozhu, fortunately, the charcoal fire in the house has been lit, and the mothers-in-law also know how to take care of it.
Yujun took a bath with colored beads and embroidery, and then returned to sleep on the soft couch in Taiqing Pavilion.
Her soft couch was a sour pear branch wooden bed with a green smoke tent, and the bed was very high, and when she was three or four years old, she couldn't reach the edge of the bed, and her mother carried her to bed.
Later, when I grew up and became much taller, I was able to step into bed and sleep on my own.
Sometimes she didn't dare to sleep alone, so she called her mother, and the bed was too big for her to sleep with her.
Her mother covered her with a tanned silk satin quilt and put her to sleep.
Now, lying alone in the couch, the colorful embroidery is well served, and she has already put a warm soup woman in the quilt, and the quilt is warm, and occasionally there is the sound of the branches outside the window being crushed by the snow, which is even quieter, but Aunt Xiao can no longer accompany her to coax her to sleep.
She put her hands straight in the quilt, and Aunt Xiao taught her that when a lady sleeps, she lies flat on the couch and never twists left and right.
The blue smoke bed tent was lowered, and the curtain next to the bed was crescent-shaped, carved with various colors.
Yujun turned her head to look over, the light on the table against the wall was still on, and she had been sleeping like this.
Caixiu Caizhu made a bed on the kang outside the door and slept: "Miss must call the slaves and maids if she wants to get up at night, so as not to be careless and slip." ”
Yujun hummed highly, and fell asleep with the quilt in her arms.
In the Qinyin Pavilion, Aunt Ruan was still sleepless, playing the pipa to the snow, and gently swiped her hand from the pipa, making a burst of clear sound.
Aunt Ruan's eyes were leisurely: "At the beginning, Aunt Xiao also praised me for playing the pipa well." ”
The maid cracked and said, "Aunt Xiao has already gone." What does the master want her to do! ”
Aunt Ruan's eyes were leisurely: "I'm not thinking about her, I'm thinking about old things." ”
Aunt Ruan said, coughing lightly.
Cracked Silk hurriedly poured a bowl of hot water, handed it to Aunt Ruan's mouth and said, "The master has been coughing since that miscarriage, so let's stay up late." ”
Aunt Ruan shook her head: "I have always had a doubt in my heart, Aunt Xiao has always been neither fighting nor grabbing, and Mingxin Xiaozhu has never been able to withstand turmoil. Why did the old man make an appointment to come to me that day, so he turned his head and ran to find Aunt Xiao, and why, Mrs. sent a maid to tell me those words, which made me so angry that I had a miscarriage, and told me to hate Aunt Xiao. Now, I have been in the house for some years, and my heart is much more mature than in previous years. Now that I looked at it coldly, I suddenly realized that Mrs. deliberately provoked me that day and instigated me to go to Touyun Pavilion to scold Aunt Xiao, causing Aunt Xiao to vomit and vomit, and her illness worsened. ”
Cracked Silk smiled: "What does the master think!" Aunt Xiao's illness is an old disease, a disease accumulated over many years, how can it be that you are angry with your master. ”
Aunt Ruan shook her head: "It doesn't matter how Aunt Xiao got sick or how she died, the important thing is that I actually made Mrs. Madame's knife to hurt people!" ”
Cracked Silk shook his head: "What does the master think now?" ”
"What can you think! I'm just surprised that Xu's methods are so bloodless to kill people like this. It seems that it is not so easy for me to find a good future for Jade Butterfly. ”
Early the next morning, Mrs. sent someone to say that Yujun had filial piety on her body, and it was inconvenient to greet Mrs. Yujun, and the greeting ceremony within ten days was waived.
Aunt Liu said that she was not happy, and Mrs. also exempted her from the greeting ceremony. Secretly, Aunt Liu sent someone to the outside of the mansion and invited one of the best tailors in the capital to come into the mansion to cut clothes.
Aunt Liu thought that Aunt Xiao was gone, and only Aunt Ruan and Mrs. Ruan were her opponents in the house. Without Aunt Xiao's national beauty, she is more dressed up to attract the attention of the master. Therefore, all the good fabrics at the bottom of the box were cut by the tailor, and they waited for Wen Du to come out of the palace.
Since Aunt Xiao's illness worsened, Wen Duan has been busy with her until the palace issued an edict saying that the emperor wanted him to enter the palace and he hurriedly went.
