Chapter 94 The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings (2nd watch)
In the last book, Jiang Xinyao couldn't help but be shocked when she saw Aunt Xiao Zhou's style.
Although the Marquis of Annan was defeated, it was once rich and monstrous. A delicate lady puts aside her self-esteem and face, and does this as a concubine, which is not a small picture.
Her heart moved, and deliberately when she passed by Aunt Xiao Zhou's side, her body was slightly crooked, as if she had been knocked down, she leaned back, and the light woman who followed her hurriedly supported her, and scolded: "Aunt Xiao Zhou, I look at it when I walk, my grandmother is weak and can't withstand the collision." ”
Zhou Xiaoli was busy with Chao Xinyao in a panic, Jiang Xinyao looked at her coldly a few times, and only turned around and scolded after a while: "It's just that I touched it, but you are still making a fuss, why don't you accompany Aunt Xiao Zhou soon." ”
Jiang Xinyao's tone changed, and she smiled at Zhou Xiaoli and said, "Aunt Zhou, I'm really sorry, it's me who didn't discipline the maid well." ”
Zhou Xiaoli had tears in her eyes, but she still smiled: "Fourth Miss is serious, it's all my fault, I must be careful when I turn around." ”
The light floc stepped forward and blessed it, which is considered a gift.
The movement here has already attracted the attention of all the women, and Shen was about to step forward to ask, but Xin Yao quietly grabbed his arm, only to hear Xin Yao smile and say: "Sister-in-law, it's okay, it's okay, it's my own care." ”
Shen glanced at Zhou Xiaoli suspiciously, then pulled Xin Yao away, and when she passed by, Xin Yao clearly saw Zhou Xiaoli's hanging hand and clenched into a fist at some point.
She sighed, in a voice that only two people could hear. Gently said in Shen's ear: "Sister-in-law, the more people can endure, the more they need to be guarded!" ”
Shen trembled. There was surprise in his eyes, and the handkerchief in his hand suddenly fell.
Xin Yao bent down, picked up the handkerchief, and saw that it was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, frowned slightly, and said with a pun smile: "Sister-in-law, you have to hold it steady." ”
Shen looked at Xin Yao's jade-like face thoughtfully. Yan Ran smiled and said, "Thank you, fourth sister." ”
Jiang Xinyao patted her hand and smiled faintly. And don't speak.
……
Today's dinner for the female dependents is placed in the side hall, and the Jiang family has not done a big deal because of the customs in the south, which is afraid of breaking the blessings of the two children. Therefore, even the stage was not opened.
At the banquet, Xin Yao saw that there was no Zhang Xinyu among the Shen family's daughters, and it stands to reason that since the two rooms of the Shen family are so close, it is a little unreasonable for the grandmother of the big house not to attend the 100-day banquet of the sister-in-law's children.
Xin Yao couldn't help but be curious, and just wanted to find an opportunity to ask her sister-in-law, but she was entangled and drank a few glasses of thin wine, and forgot about it for a while.
After eating, Xin Yao sat down for a while, talked to her mother for a while, and then took Tianwei to the carriage and went home.
Tianwei played around for most of the day. I just felt that I was still unsatisfied, and pulled Xin Yao to speak with great interest: "My cousin-in-law gets along really well with the people in the house, two wives." The two sisters-in-law and the eldest lady in the house are all kind people, they are old ladies, and they look loving, which is really enviable. ”
Xin Yao pursed her lips and secretly said that you have never seen the old lady's means, if you have seen it, you will not say this.
"Sister. Well, it's all everywhere. How to deal with it. But it's a science. It doesn't have to be too close, it can't be too far, if it's close, it's unfamiliar, and it's just right. And you can't just look at the surface of everything, the tongue and teeth often fight, let alone people? When there is no stake, my sister and sister are called happily, and once there is a stake, even if it is a brother, it can turn against each other. ”
The last sentence made Du Tianwei think of her eldest sister who had married far away, and sighed with emotion: "My cousin-in-law said it so well!" By the way, cousin-in-law, the little Aunt Zhou behind the eldest grandmother is so smart and well-educated, why did she become a concubine? I heard that she was born as a young lady. ”
Xin Yao patted her hand lightly and said with a smile: "Sister, if a man is rich and noble, he is destined for anyone." ”
Tianwei's eyes widened in surprise, and she murmured, "Cousin-in-law, what you say ......"
Xin Yao took over and said, "What I said is the truth. If my eldest brother is so poor that he is tinkling, even if he looks like Pan An and is stronger than Jin, then Aunt Xiao Zhou will not look down on him. She is not a good stubble, what she wants, she has an account in her heart. ”
Du Tianwei smiled: "My cousin is still good to my cousin-in-law, and I don't even have an aunt in the room." My cousin has been gone for a few days, so it's time to come back, right? ”
Xin Yao said with a smile: "I said that I would return on the sixth day, but today it is the sixth day." ”
Tianwei quipped: "Cousin-in-law, do you miss him?" ”
Jiang Xinyao remembered that there was no one on the pillow in the past few days, and she couldn't sleep well at night, so she stretched out her index finger and tapped her forehead, and scolded: "Naughty, who misses him!" ”
Du Tianwei raised her head proudly towards Xinyao, and smiled deliberately: "Cousin-in-law, you don't want him, why are you blushing?" ”
Jiang Xinyao subconsciously touched her face, and it took a while to react and be fooled. I thought about being married for half a year, and I didn't feel that I stayed in one place every day, but I suddenly left for a few days, and my heart was really a little empty, and I fell into contemplation for a while.
Seeing her like this, Tianwei smiled knowingly, leaned on the brocade mat, and didn't speak.
When the carriage had just driven out of a pillar of incense, he heard a hissing sound behind him, and a gray-clothed boy stepped forward to stop the car, knelt on the ground, and said, "Fourth Miss, old lady, please go back to the house immediately?" ”
Xin Yao opened the curtain and looked at the person, but the old lady came to her, and said, "What do you say?" ”
"I don't know the little one, the old lady just sent the little one to invite the fourth lady back home."
Weiyun in the car behind, the two maids who were waiting close to Danyue and Tianwei hurriedly got out of the car, walked quickly to Xin Yao's car, and waited for the master to show off.
Du Tianwei said suspiciously: "Cousin-in-law, what's the matter?" ”
Xin Yao turned her mind a few times and said with a smile: "It's nothing, the old lady asked me to go back to the house." ”
She turned her face and looked out and said, "Are all the guests in the house scattered?" ”
"Miss Huisi, when I came, I just dispersed."
Xin Yao turned around and smiled with Tianwei: "My sister will go back to the house first, and talk to my grandfather, I will come when I go, I'm afraid that the old lady suddenly thought of something and wanted to ask me." ”
Du Tianwei smiled: "Otherwise, I'll go back with my cousin!" ”
Xin Yao thought for a while, but said, "It's not that I don't want my sister to accompany me, I guess the old lady is afraid that she has something to say." ”
Du Tianwei thought about it carefully, the old lady asked her cousin to go back at this time, she must have something to say privately, if she followed like this, it would be inappropriate. So he nodded obediently.
Xin Yao confessed a few words, helped Danyue, and Weiyun's hand went to the car behind. The coachman skillfully turned around and methodically returned the way he came.
Xin Yao and the three of them entered the Jiang Mansion, and the little maid in front of the old lady was waiting in the gatehouse, and when they saw someone coming, they greeted them.
The three masters and servants entered the courtyard of Guiyun Hall.
Xin Yao's heart moved, and she suddenly asked, "Where will the second wife be?" ”
The little maid said smartly: "Fourth Miss Hui, the second wife is in the grandmother's room in the West Courtyard, and there are still a few relatives of the Shen family who have not left, and the two wives are accompanying them over there." ”
Xin Yao said with a smile: "Danyue, go and tell my mother, I like the dim sum made in the house today, and I want to bring a few pieces back to the old lady to taste." ”
The little maid hurriedly said, "Leave this matter to the slave maid." ”
Danyue looked at the young lady's expression, took a deep breath, and chuckled: "There are so many pastries in our house today, how do you know which one the old lady likes to eat the most, the grandmother is waiting, and the slave maid will come when she goes." ”
After that, without waiting for the little maid to reply, he left in a hurry.
When Xin Yao saw her walking away, she straightened her clothes, straightened her back, and Shi Shiran entered the hall.
……
The old lady in the hall sat crookedly on the separate floor, looking at her with a smile on her face, and when Xin Yao finished saluting, she said, "Here, Mama Li is going to serve tea, grandmother called you back, I have something to ask you, go down." ”
Weiyun looked at the eldest grandmother, saw that she nodded, and saw that the old lady had a happy face, so she followed the servants to wait outside, and the maid who went out gently closed the door.
At this time, only the grandparents and grandchildren and Mama Qian standing behind the old lady were left in the hall of Nuoda.
Seeing this situation, Xin Yao couldn't guess the old lady's intentions in her heart, so she smiled and said, "The old lady called me here, but what do you have to say!" ”
The old lady glanced at her granddaughter deeply, and then said, "Kneel!" ”
Jiang Xinyao picked up the teacup unhurriedly, blew it a few times, took a sip, and then got up and walked to the old lady, and said with a smile: "Mama Qian, my body is weak, please bring a kneeling mat here." ”
"Give it to her"
Mama Qian hurriedly took a lotus kneeling mat and put it at Xin Yao's feet, glanced at the fourth lady who was kneeling slowly, sighed in her heart, and returned to her original position.
The old lady put the teacup on the side, lowered her face, and reprimanded: "Let me ask you, do you recognize Xu Sizhen?" ”
Jiang Xinyao frowned, lowered her face, and said with a smile: "Tanhualang, who married Qingwangfu a few days ago, his granddaughter knows this person!." ”
The old lady suddenly brushed her hand, and the tea cup fell in response, and the tea splashed on Xin Yao's brand-new dress, like a small flower printed on it.
Xin Yao laughed angrily: "Old lady, old people, their hearts are too hot, but it's not good, it's better to take care of yourself." If your granddaughter does something wrong, you don't want to say it directly, even if you ask me to kowtow, admit my mistake. ”
Weiyun, who was guarding outside, heard the movement inside and broke out in a cold sweat.
She looked up and saw that the four mothers-in-law in front of the old lady were looking at her coldly, and secretly said that it was not good, so she hurriedly lowered her face, and her mind moved quickly.
The old lady saw that she could still laugh at this time, and couldn't help but be angry in her heart: "What a sharp mouth, I underestimated you, Shan'er, you come out." ”
I saw Jiang Xinshan curling out of the inner room, the morning sun bun combed on her head was plump and towering, and the beads on the five phoenix hanging beads and hairpins trembled slightly with her body. A delicate face with a cold smile.
She looked condescendingly at the kneeling person on the ground, and said with a lotus flower: "Fourth sister, I advise you, let's tell the old lady the truth." (To be continued)
