Chapter 99: The Future Duchess
But this time, the eldest lady did not allow others to see her jokes, and the people in the Qingqiu Pavilion were all asked to keep their mouths shut, and those who came with Wang's mother, or Pingjue's side, did not dare to talk more.
After the girls came, they didn't know that Ping Jue had dropped the medicine bowl again, and they thought about it, if it was spread out, it would seem to have become a sin for her and the citron.
In today's class, I talked about "Heng Theory", and Fuyi was calm, and my sisters were also attentive, but Wang's mother suddenly broke in and sent the re-boiled tonic to Fuyi.
said the same as before, and said that the eldest lady felt sorry for her.
Yun Zhi asked: "What kind of medicine to take, why don't you ask a doctor to check the pulse first, even if it is a tonic, it has to be different from person to person, what are you putting here, Mother Wang, do you want to hear it?" ”
Yunzhi is not a child of a big house, he has been raised by the old lady since he was a child, and everyone looks down on the second lady, and Mother Wang naturally does not dare to be presumptuous.
But she was angry in her heart, and was scolded by a weak child in person, and at this time, the second lady was going to rely on the old lady to press her, where did she swallow this breath, simply ignored Yunzhi, and urged Fuyi to drink the decoction.
"Please also ask the girl to drink the medicine quickly, so as not to disturb you to teach the young ladies, and not to delay me to do other work." Mother Wang picked up the medicine bowl this time and wanted to send it directly to Fuyi's mouth.
Fuyi had already said that she would drink it for a while, but Mother Wang had to see her drink it with her own eyes, so she almost pressed Fuyi and opened her mouth and poured it down.
God knows how the subordinates of Xinghuatang have fed Ping Jue for so many years, could it be that the eldest lady is also like this, torturing that child mentally day and night?
"Wang's." Someone suddenly came in front of the door, and everyone heard the sound and looked at it, it was Mama Rui.
Mama Rui is not only the old lady's wife, but also the old man's nurse, although she is a subordinate, but the family respects her as an elder, and she has a status in the house.
Originally, the old servants in the family who had been accumulating years were all serving their ancestors, and they should not be easily slackened, and these young girls of Yunzhi were always polite and respectful when they saw them.
At this moment, seeing that Mama was coming, they all got up from their seats, and Mama Rui invited the girls to sit, and said to Mother Wang: "When the imperial doctor came to greet the old lady the day before yesterday, he took a pair of tonic medicine for Miss Yan's pulse, and she has been eating it for the past two days." But although the girl's body is weak, she can't make up for it, so she won't bother the eldest lady. You go and tell the eldest lady, the lady is busy and hard all day long, and the old lady can't help much, so leave this little matter to her. “
Mother Wang asked with a smile: "You are always here, specially to tell this matter?" ”
Mama Rui was still very kind: "I just entered the door and heard it, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but the old lady is afraid that the children will be greedy for cold, and they are most vulnerable to cold when they sit and read without moving, so they called me to come and tell me." ”
"Yes...... Mother Wang smiled awkwardly, gave the medicine bowl in her hand to the maid on the side, and said, "Since Miss Yan is already taking tonics, she doesn't dare to take any more, so I'll go back to the eldest lady." ”
She owed to Mama Rui and was about to leave with someone, but when she passed by Mama, she only heard Mama whisper softly and majestically: "It's also a fifty-year-old person, what else can't you see through, persuading the master what to do and what not to do, don't you know how to count in your heart?" “
Mother Wang's heart tightened, she lowered her head and didn't dare to answer, and left in a hurry with someone.
Fuyi breathed a sigh of relief here, and stepped forward to salute Mama: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Mama Rui said with a smile: "The old lady said, don't be greedy, it's all golden and expensive." ”
said and said: "There is another thing, the third prince came with news that the emperor was going out of the palace to hunt, and he should have gone a while ago, because the queen mother was sick, and while the sun was not yet hot, she still had to go for a run." ”
The girls looked at Mama with blank eyes, guessing what she was going to say next, but when they saw the kind old man, they smiled and said, "The third prince said that the emperor can bring his family with him, and he wants us to draw up a list as soon as possible." The old lady wanted to go shopping by herself, but she was afraid that the girls would not want to go, so she asked me to ask, and if she was really not happy, she was not reluctant. ”
This can make Yunzhi and them anxious, although the emperor hunts every Spring and Autumn Period, but the accompanying ministers are not able to bring their families every time, and even if they do, it will not be Yunzhi's turn to be a girl. For so many years, when the first emperor was in power, Yunzhi followed her eldest sister once, and the three girls had never even seen anything in the paddock.
Although she was happy, the fear of being oppressed by the eldest lady was still entangled in her heart, calculating how to live in the future, since the eldest lady wanted to torture her from the heart, this time it would not work, there must be a next time.
Mama Rui was leaving, so she came over and shook her hand, with a deep meaning in her eyes, as if she was comforting her, but she only said: "The girl teaches with peace of mind, and you don't have to take anything else to heart." ”
Mama asked everyone to continue the lesson, she quietly withdrew, Fu Yi returned to the desk, and when she looked up and saw the girls' faces full of joy, she also smiled: "Let's continue." ”
But the sisters were happy for a while, and when they remembered Fang Cai's situation, they couldn't help but feel distressed.
The third girl asked, "Sister Yan, why does your mother embarrass you?" ”
The little sisters don't know about the eldest lady, so naturally they don't understand what the contradiction is between Fuyi and the eldest lady.
She smiled faintly: "Why is it embarrassing?" The eldest lady cares about me and worries about my hard work. ”
Huizhi said weakly: "But Mother Wang looked so scary just now, I thought she was going to press Sister Yan's head and pour the medicine down for you." ”
The atmosphere became tense and depressing, Yun Zhi slapped the table, and said loudly: "Isn't this okay, what are you children thinking about?" I'm still worried about whether today's book can be recited, but if I can't recite it, one person will hit the palm board ten times. ”
"Don't scare them, you don't rely on rote memorization to study." Fu Yi smiled, "Since we are about to go to Xingwei, let's talk about some stories on the hunting ground in ancient times, okay?" ”
The girls came around, listening to the story is more interesting than telling the article, Fuyi led them to sit under the window, Huizhi snuggled in his arms, not to talk about the big truth of the crepe, talking about the story, Fuyi is also full of energy.
Yun Zhi had seen the magnificent scene of the paddock, and when she heard Fu Yi say it, she laughed at her: "You haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's like the truth." ”
Huizhi said: "Then it's better for us to take Sister Yan with us, grandma must agree, anyway, there must be someone to watch the second sister." ”
Yun Zhi came to tickle his sister's itch, Hui Zhi drilled into Fuyi's arms, the girls made a mess, and the fear of being intimidated by Wang's mother also dispersed.
But Mother Wang couldn't swallow this breath, even if she returned to the eldest lady, Yang didn't blame her, but Mama Rui's words made her uncomfortable.
At this moment, she said: "The old lady's pain for the daughter of the Yan family really doesn't look like the child of a distant relative, the slave and maid look at it, and I'm afraid that she will be accepted as a granddaughter-in-law." Since the marriage of the two sons of Dongyuan, she doesn't ask, then there are only the third sons and the fourth sons left, the fourth son has not grown up yet, and the third lady can't look down on Jizhou, so it must be left to the third son. ”
Yang said coldly: "I knew early on that she was planning to let Zhu Rong inherit the title, so whose child would become the future duchess is also extremely important." The combination of my Yang family and the Zhu family was in line with the times, it was a combination of family and family, and the old lady was an understanding person, and she would definitely not choose a country girl to give her precious grandson. ”
Wang's mother said: "Maybe I'm old, I don't have the courage I had back then, I just want to choose a child who fits my eyes?" ”
The eldest lady shook her head: "Even if the old lady agrees, your master will not agree, he can't wait in his heart to marry a princess for his precious son, and he can still look at a poor teacher?" ”
As he spoke, Zhu Chengqian also sent someone to send back the news that the emperor was going out of the palace to hunt, and ordered the retainers to bring their families, and the eldest lady immediately ordered someone to send a letter to the palace, asking the queen's mother's instructions, and then sent someone to visit her mother at her mother's house.
After the calculation of the whole family, except for the third lady, who wanted to have a safe pregnancy, most of them went, and the old lady naturally reported the name of Fuyi and asked her to open her eyes together.
At night, the citron knelt on the bed to make the futon, and chattered endlessly: "The old men and ladies in the capital, the days are really too leisurely, eating, drinking and having fun." ”
She held the thick quilt she had replaced, and looked worried about the world: "Miss, just like this, the emperor and the officials can really govern the country well?" We don't have this in Kishu, the prince and the princess are either training in the barracks, digging in the ground, or personally transporting goods to the merchants, daring to love our princes and military masters guarding the border, just for the people in the capital to eat, drink and have fun. ”
Fu Yi smiled: "My family Xiang'er is so open-minded, I really can't bear you to just be a little girl." ”
Citron said: "Our sons and daughters of Kishu are all backbone. ”
Fu Yi said: "The truth here is very deep, there are their nos, and there is also the dignity they must maintain, how long we have only been here, naturally I can't understand." ”
Citron went to put the quilt, ran back and said with a smile: "Today, the eldest lady and Mother Wang, they are deflated, they deserve it!" The eldest lady, looking at her serious face, why is her heart so vicious. ”
