"Ming'er is Chinese New Year's Eve, and things are so hasty." Mrs. Zheng Yejun was still sick, and only Pei's family came forward on her behalf in Wudehou's mansion, and because Pei's had been in the door for many years, he had a body, although after the first three months, An's was not at ease, so he asked Su Ruhui to follow to help with entertainment. The two sisters-in-law changed into plain dresses, took off the gold and emerald, only hairpins and silver ornaments, and went to the martial arts family to express condolences and condolences in a plain manner.

When I arrived at the samurai's house, although I entered the backyard, the messy scene was unbearable to watch.

Pei Shi sighed lightly, but Su Ruhui frowned and said in a low voice: "Although Taifu is the pillar of the martial family, but now there is no one in the martial family who can call the shots?" How did it get like this? ”

They stood at the Hanging Flower Gate for a while, and then a woman in filial piety led a group of handmaidens to come over to greet her, claiming to be the second daughter-in-law of Taifu. Pei Shi and Su Ruhui were in someone else's house, how did they know what happened to Dingguo Gong and Su Wanhai in the front yard? It's all confused.

Finally they were led to Mrs. Mu Guo's courtyard, and the woman in filial clothes threw them to the door, said a perfunctory word, and then shook her hands and walked away.

was so rude that the two sisters-in-law looked at each other.

"Who are the two ......?" Fortunately, the people in Mrs. Mu Guo's courtyard were alert, and they noticed that there was someone at the door, so they hurriedly came out to ask, I heard that it was the female dependant of Wudehou's Mansion, and Mrs. Zheng Yejun, who was sick, came to visit, and the person hurriedly welcomed in, and Mrs. Mu Guo had not woken up yet, so she asked them to sit in the hall and ask the young lady to come and talk to them.

Not long after, Miss Wu came out, but she was two or three years older than Su Ruhui, and sure enough, as rumored, she was not good-looking, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was obviously crying hard.

Pei Shi and Su Ruhua couldn't help but say a few words of comfort, but Miss Wu cried again.

stumbled like this, and when it was finally time to say goodbye, both of them felt tired and panicked. Su Ruhui was still worried about whether the Pei family could afford it, and the martial lady personally sent them to the vicinity of the garden, but an old woman with an uncertain face came to meet her, followed by a few plain women, and the faces of a group of people were not very good-looking.

Pei Shi and Su Ruhui both recognized that the old lady was the wife of the Taishi and Mrs. Xuanguo, and they were both taken aback, Mrs. Xuanguo's eyes turned on them, and when she saw Miss Wu, she eased her face: "Luo'er, I was about to go to look for you, is your mother okay?" ”

"Mrs. Lao asked, my mother took the tranquilizing decoction, and now she hasn't woken up, nothing else, just she's sad." Miss Wu's maiden name was originally Wu Luo, and she was familiar with Mrs. Xuanguo, so she replied softly. When Mrs. Xuanguo was talking to her, the other two women who looked like the daughters-in-law of the martial arts family were eager to fly out of their eyes.

Seeing this posture, Pei secretly pinched Su Ruhua's hand, and under the pretext that Mrs. Zheng Yejun was still sick, he wanted to confess and leave first.

Mrs. Xuanguo looked like she was specially supporting Mrs. Mu Guo, reached out and grabbed Wu Luo's hand, and said to the two: "Your father and brother are all Taifu's old department, and now they are not outsiders, I have something to do with Luo'er and her mother, so I will ask the Deng family to send one to you." ”

Xiansheng Junjun hurriedly stood up, Mrs. Xuanguo is not only the wife of the Taishi, but also above the two of them in terms of seniority, not to mention that the two of them know that the martial arts family is extraordinary now, and they just want to get out quickly, so they can't take care of it, so they hurriedly excused themselves and said that as long as they call a maid to guide the way, but Mrs. Xuanguo left the Deng family behind.

On Huo Guifei's birthday, Su Ruhui had seen this county gentleman, and after a few words of greeting on both sides, Su Ruhui asked Huo Hui casually, and Deng smiled bitterly: "Originally, Hui'er was going to come over, but she was sick with her clumsy husband, so she had to stay at home." ”

Su Ruhui saw the heavy melancholy between her eyebrows, and said in surprise: "The last time I saw the little boy, he was still very energetic, how could he be sick?" Didn't you feel the cold? ”

"It's the wind chill." Deng didn't want to say much, she obviously and Mrs. Xuanguo often came to the backyard of the martial family, and they were brought to the place after a short time, and the carriage went out of the martial family, and Su Ruhui asked her sister-in-law about her body.

"Except for being a little tired, everything else is fine." Pei Shi said with palpitations, "Fortunately, Mrs. Xuanguo has arrived, otherwise that Miss Wu is young and Mrs. Mu Guo is sick again, it is really embarrassing." ”

Su Ruhui also saw the rebellion in the backyard of the martial arts family, but did not continue, but changed the topic: "Just now Xiansheng Junjun mentioned that the little son of the Huo family is sick, although our family has no friendship with the Huo family, but since I know, sister-in-law will ask someone to prepare some medicinal materials and send them over?" ”

"What my sister said is that today, Xiansheng Junjun also sent us out on behalf of Miss Wu." Pei Shi had no objection, and found a more high-sounding reason, but in his heart he secretly laughed at the sister-in-law for the King of Chu to love the house and Wu, because Chinese New Year's Eve was the next day, after returning to the Wudehou Mansion, the two only took a breath, and quickly summoned people to ask, Su Ruhui was in the palace, these butlers' things were the teachings of the An family in the past, but Pei Shi saw too much, plus the prince of the dynasty lost his position, the Taifu passed away, the Su family was sick again, and they couldn't be lively if they wanted to, so the aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other in detail, and some old people in the family reminded, After arranging the matter, I was relieved, straightened my clothes together, and went to talk back to An's.

An Shi said that he would have to delay the New Year this time, so he kept falling crookedly, closed his eyes and listened to them finish talking about things one by one, before nodding his head and whispering to Su Ruhui to take more hands, so as not to tire the eldest sister-in-law.

Pei knew that her mother-in-law was worried about her eldest grandson, but in fact, she still had to fight for the opportunity to practice with Su Ruhui, she would not fight with her sister-in-law for these, and softly thanked An and Su Ruhui, and saw that An was colorless, knowing that the medicine was coming up, she hurriedly pulled Su Ruhui to retire together.

The next day, there was another understatement in the palace, saying that Rui Concubine was folding flowers by the Taiye Pool, but she accidentally fell down, and even the personal palace maid was drowned because she went down to the pool to save people, Changtai was furious and punished the people of the Suyue Pavilion for burial. Chaoli was busy with the death of the Taifu, so the accident of a concubine was only the Ministry of Rites was ordered to prepare a mourning, because although Changtai called the palace people to accompany the funeral, Zhang An revealed that the concubine did not like the concubine, so the Ministry of Rites was only prepared according to the treatment of ordinary concubines.

After Su Ruhui heard the news, she was busy with the things she was ordering, and she paused, and Yunyan quietly pulled her by the side, only then did she come to her senses and continue to talk to the stewards.

"There's been so much going on this year." Pei Shi sat opposite her, and the moment he saw her gaffe, he said idly, "Is my sister familiar with Concubine Rui in the palace?" Do you want to follow it? ”

"I don't have any relationship with her, it's just that Youzhu Xuan, where Cui Yu's wife lives, happens to be next to the Suyue Pavilion." Su Ruhua said, "As for the elements, I don't need it, the Danzhu County Lord in the palace thinks he will prepare one for me." ”

"Cui Yu's wife?" Pei Shi said, "I heard that the royal wife has been pregnant for a while, I don't know when the delivery period is?" ”

"It should be after Concubine Hui and before Concubine Gui." Su Ruhui sighed, "It's okay now, wait for the imperial heir to give birth to ......" She didn't continue, but said, "Sister-in-law is okay when she sees Ming'er's arrangement?" ”

Pei Shi noticed that it was about the same as in previous years, so he nodded: "I was supposed to go to the Dingguo Mansion tonight, but my mother couldn't get up, and I didn't go, so I stayed at home to accompany her." ”

"Then I'll go for you." Su Ruhua said.

"In front of Mrs. Yao Guotai, my sister must endure a little." Pei Shi advised, "Mrs. Tai has not been in a good mood lately. ”

Su Ruhui was surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

Pei Shi said helplessly: "It's because of the third uncle, Mrs. Tai wants the third uncle to marry a wife, but the third uncle is unwilling, there was originally an aunt and mother in the persuasion to pay back, Mrs. Tai dreamed of the old Guan Xianghou not long ago, and she was in a hurry to urge, where is the third uncle willing to listen?" Mrs. Tai blamed her mother for conniving at the third uncle in the past, and these two times even the husband occasionally went there, and she was treated coldly, and her sister remembered that it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Mrs. Tai was also old, so she endured it. ”

Su Ruhui was unhappy, but she still nodded.

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was used tastelessly, such as Su Wanrun and others were affected by Wu Luo's death, and when they arrived at the female relatives, Mrs. Yao Guo was really majestic, giving Su Rue a look on her face.

Su Ruhui remembered her sister-in-law's advice, so she kept silently letting her ridicule and embarrassment, but Su Rumo couldn't stand it: "The family has a good New Year, what is grandmother doing?" After entering the palace, this is the first time that Rue has returned home for Chinese New Year's Eve, so why bother to make people unhappy. ”

I didn't expect her to help herself speak, Su Ruhui was not surprised, Mrs. Yao Guotai already hated iron and scolded: "What are you afraid of her doing?" She hasn't married the King of Chu yet! ”

The rumors have reached this point, Su Ruhui hates Gan Tang more and more to death, in the past, the six palaces only said that she and the king of Chu were closer, but they didn't know much outside the palace, after all, the two were very careful when they grew up, and they didn't know what Gan Tang said, so they made the city so stormy. made a heavy note to Gan Tang in his heart, and Su Ruhui finally couldn't hold back her rebuttal: "Grandmother said this very strangely, when she first entered the palace, her granddaughter and the king of Chu were still young, but they played together twice, and then they have always kept the etiquette, grandmother doesn't want to think about it, whose granddaughter is raised by, and who is the queen mother?" This kind of gossip, passed on by other people's families, is clearly deliberately to ruin the reputation of our girls, grandmother does not administer justice for her granddaughter, but follows other people's families to talk about me, how can there be such a reason? ”

Originally, Mrs. Yaoguo also felt that Mrs. Tai's words were excessive, Su Ruhua had ruined her reputation, and her daughter would also be affected, but when she heard Su Ruhua say it politely, she frowned and remained silent.

Mrs. Tai laughed angrily: "The Queen Mother has raised so many girls under her knees, why are you the only one who has been rumored?" Why doesn't anyone else say it? ”

Su Rumo was about to speak, and Mrs. Yaoguo told her to stop with a knife in her eyes, only to hear Su Ruhui say calmly: "This shows that the granddaughter is affected by the Su family!" ”
