"The old slave is grateful to Miss San for saving the swift." Cheng's mother stood up again, saluted respectfully, and said, "Yuyan is the dearest person of the old slave, and the old slave Miss Xie San saved her." ”

Cheng's mother's face was full of confusion.

Wei Man hooked his lips and laughed.

At first, when Swift was suddenly sent to Manhui Garden, Wei Man thought it was the "eyeliner" that Mother Wu placed beside her for Mrs. Tai, but with the behavior of Swift after coming to Manhui Garden, as well as Swift's own temperament, Wei Man quickly dispelled this idea in his heart, and after that, Wei Man found that whenever he met Young Master Wen Boyuan and Eldest Young Master Wei Yu, Swift was far away...... And she occasionally met the eldest young master Wei Yu a few times, and Wei Yu didn't have a good eye on her......

Wei Man found that Mother Wu put the swift in the garden, in fact, it was to avoid the disaster, openly and secretly, but to help the swift avoid trouble as much as possible, everything she did, but it was just a gesture, maybe the swift's feelings were not deep, but Mother Wu, who knew the powerful relationship, knew that it was good or bad.

"Mother Wu is serious," Wei Man said with a smile, "Swift is already the one who returned to the garden for me, and she has been serving me wholeheartedly, so I will take care of her." ”

"The third lady is talking about ......," Mother Wu muttered, "...... I have long wanted to come to Manhui to the garden to thank Miss San for her great kindness, but the old slave has never been in good health as he gets older......

Using the excuse of being old and not in good health, it sounds a bit reluctant.

Wei Man's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but follow Wu's mother's words, and asked: "Speaking of which, Mother Wu has been with her grandmother since she was a child, I heard people in the house say that my mother was one of the four big maids who married my grandmother, I don't know if it is or not?" ”

"The third lady is right," Wu's mother said: "The old slave is indeed one of the four big maids in the house brought by Mrs. Tai when she got married, but the old slave only replaced my sister's lack of children at that time. ”

"Oh?" Wei Man asked with some curiosity: "Isn't Mother Wu my grandmother's big maid in marriage?" ”

"When Mrs. Tai was not married, there were four big maids by her side, among them, one of them was called Yingxiang, which was my sister," Wu's mother showed a look of memory and sadness on her face, and said: "My sister is three years older than Mrs. Tai, she is a maid who has always grown up with Mrs. Tai, and her temperament is very honest and honest, so among the four big girls, Mrs. Tai treats my sister the best......"

"Then ......" Cheng's mother thought and thought for a while, making sure that she had never heard of Mother Wu's sister, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Where is Mother Wu's sister now?" ”

"I got sick urgently, just three months before Mrs. Tai's marriage," Wu's mother forced a smile, she didn't want to talk more about her sister who had passed away for many years, so she directly skipped the twists and turns in the middle, and said: "After my sister went, Mrs. Tai was very sad, so she promoted the twelve-year-old slave from the third-class little maid to the first-class personal big girl, and still called the name Yingxiang......"

"I see." Wei Man sighed, while carefully observing Wu's mother's face, thinking to himself, Wu's mother's chance, in the eyes of outsiders, may be a great gift from the master, but for the little girl who was only twelve years old and isolated at the time, I am afraid that she will suffer more exclusion.

"Back then, I was young and didn't know anything, from a third-class little maid who did miscellaneous work overnight, to a first-class personal big girl next to Miss, it was a joke......" Mother Wu's face showed a faint bitterness, but it was fleeting, and said: "At that time, Sister Huixiang and Sister Ruxiang helped me a lot, especially Sister Huixiang, who taught me errands, reasoned with me, and comforted me ......"

Hui Xiang? Who is it? Wei Man looked at Cheng's mother puzzled.

"This, Huixiang," Cheng's mother interjected: "Dare to ask Mother Wu, this is called Huixiang, but it is the aunt next to the old marquis, the Qi family." ”

"Yes, it's Aunt Qi back then," Mother Wu said in a somewhat astringent tone: "Back then, the old marquis and Mrs. Tai were close for nearly half a year, but Mrs. Tai's stomach has not moved...... At that time, the old marquis had two very outstanding personal maids around him, one surnamed Zhu, who was later his aunt Zhu, and the other surnamed Zhang, who is now Aunt Zhang in the house...... After thinking about it again, Mrs. Tai also lifted Sister Huixiang to her aunt......"

Aunt Qi and Zhu, Wei Man has never heard of them mentioned by anyone in the house.

"I remember that they were the aunts who were carried in August of the second year of Daxing, and in October, Aunt Zhu became pregnant," Wu's mother said: "Then, in November, Sister Huixiang, that is, Aunt Qi, was also found to be pregnant. ”

Aunt Qi and Aunt Zhu are pregnant one after another, but now there are no rumors about them in the house, so ......

Wei Man's eyes widened violently, and he muttered, "They ......"

Mother Wu closed her eyes and said lightly: "After Aunt Zhu found out that she was pregnant, she was taken by the old lady to her yard to raise the fetus, but when she was just six months pregnant, she unfortunately had a miscarriage...... After the miscarriage, Aunt Zhu moved back to her yard and has been recuperating in bed...... After dragging on for a year, I went to ......"

The aunt who was accepted for the purpose of giving birth to an heir, after the miscarriage, Aunt Zhu lost her value and was driven back to the original house by the old lady, but she has been labeled as an old lady, and Mrs. Zhu will not treat her well...... Wei Man can imagine how bleak Aunt Zhu's last days should be.

"That," Wei Man asked hesitantly, "Aunt Qi is ......?"

"When Aunt Qi was nearly nine months pregnant, one day, Mrs. Tai suddenly fainted," Mother Wu seemed to be recalling the scene of that day, her expression on her face was a little complicated, and she paused before she said again: "I invited the imperial doctor, and I found out that Mrs. Tai is also pregnant." ”

Weiman's heart jumped.

Regardless of whether Aunt Zhu's miscarriage had anything to do with Mrs. Tai before, in short, this result is something that Mrs. Tai is happy to see.

If Mrs. Tai is not pregnant and forced by the situation, she must choose an aunt to give birth to the eldest son of the old marquis, compared with Aunt Zhu and Aunt Qi, Mrs. Tai naturally hopes that the person who gave birth to the eldest son is Aunt Qi who was born as her personal maid.

If Mrs. Tai is not pregnant, the child in Aunt Qi's womb is for Mrs. Tai, it is Aunt Qi's pregnancy for her, and she will try her best to protect Aunt Qi and Aunt Qi's belly, but Mrs. Tai is suddenly pregnant, then, as the main mother and mother-in-law, can Mrs. Tai tolerate an eldest son who is one year older than her own son?

"Mrs. Tai's image is very bad, she vomits whatever she eats, and the maid who serves and the people in the kitchen toss it is a person who turns it on her back......" Mother Wu smiled, but there was a lingering coldness in her eyes, and said: "Once, I took the time to visit Aunt Qi, but found that there was no maid in the house, she was lying on the bed alone, she fell asleep, I woke her up, she was still very confused, I asked to know, she hadn't eaten for a day......"

Really......

Wei Man sighed inwardly.

After all, Mrs. Tai still couldn't tolerate Aunt Qi giving birth to a child before her.

There are so many servant women in the huge Hou Mansion, if it weren't for the permission of Mrs. Tai, who would dare to snub an aunt who is about to give birth so much.

"I couldn't look past it, so I went to the kitchen to get food for Aunt Qi," Wu's mother continued to recall: "It's just that at that time, the people in the kitchen were busy with Mrs. Tai's food, saying that Mrs. Tai vomited again, and they were all doing everything possible to make things that could enter Mrs. Tai's population...... Another maid called me, saying that Mrs. Tai was unwell again, and wanted to find the spices brought from her mother's house, so I had to ask the little maid to help me send a plate of snacks to Aunt Qi......

"That dim sum ......" Wei Man couldn't help but ask, "Did you send it to Aunt Qi's hands?" ”

"No, the little maid said that her mother called her to run errands, but she didn't go......" Mother Wu looked at Wei Man's eyes and shook her head, there was a strange light in her eyes that Wei Man couldn't understand, it seemed to be sad and relieved......

"I can't rest assured that Aunt Qi will go to see her when I am free," the corners of Wu's mother mouth hooked up a cold smile, and said, "This found out that the Zhang family is cooking for Aunt Qi." ”

"Zhang!" Wei Man said in surprise: "Aunt Zhang of the Second Room Water Jade Courtyard, Zhang's family! ”

"Yes!" Mother Wu nodded, smiled coldly, and said, "It's Aunt Zhang from Shuiyuyuan." ”

"Aunt Zhang, she," Wei Man muttered as she asked, "Why did she go to cook food for Aunt Qi?" Aunt Qi, she won't really eat it, right? ”

"Although Aunt Zhang is the personal maid of the old marquis, and she is a person that the old lady likes very much, it stands to reason that the relationship between the Zhang family and us wedding maids should be bad, but the relationship between Aunt Zhang and our main courtyard at that time was not bad......" Wu's mother smiled bitterly and explained for Wei Man: "When the old lady wanted to take an aunt for the old marquis, everyone in the house knew that the aunt must be chosen from the Zhu family and the Zhang family...... Zhang's is much more prominent than Zhu's, and he is a well-spoken person, and everyone thinks that Zhang's is more likely to become an aunt...... It was because Mrs. Tai heard that Mrs. Tai would raise the Zhang family as her aunt, so she chose the most beautiful Aunt Qi among the wedding maids...... Zhang ran to Mrs. Tai's side and cried, saying that she didn't have the intention of being an aunt, and begged Mrs. Tai to help her shirk in front of the old lady...... Although Mrs. Tai didn't help her go to the old lady to talk about it, she had a much better impression of her, and after that, Zhu became an aunt, and when she met the old marquis, she was all in order, and Mrs. Tai believed her......"
