Chapter 8: Spring Day (6)

On the twelfth day of the first month, the weather is fine.

Three days later, He Xinwan will become Commander Luo's wife, and these days are naturally not idle.

Early in the morning, several ministers and the wives of the Director of Water Services gathered at the Yaci Residence.

The wives of the official families gathered together, but they played mahjong and listened to the drama to pass the time. Fortunately, He Xinwan has lived in Lanfeng Tower for a long time, and it is not difficult to deal with these official wives. It's just that I'm sick and I've been with me for a long time, and I'm a little impatient. Moreover, so many ladies and wives can't be accompanied in a day or two.

After a little round, He Xinwan said that she was not feeling well, and asked Zhuang Xiaoxian to replace her and go in to rest.

In the dimness, I faintly heard the sound of talking outside. The voice was shrill, and He Xinwan woke up suddenly.

"Yo, yo, Mrs. Wang, why do you have time to come." I don't know if it was the lady who spoke first, and there was a sour taste in her voice.

"Mrs. Wang, I'm really sorry, Mrs. is not feeling well, she just went to rest, I'm just afraid that I just fell asleep." Zhuang Xiaoxian didn't show anything.

"Miss Zhuang is polite, it's unfortunate that I came." This is Mrs. Wang, He Xinwan has already heard of it, she is the chief of the guard who commands the Rong army, and Wang Xue is the insider.

Since she moved to the official residence, there is more convenient news, and she has come to visit early. But only Minister Wang's family members have never come. For this reason, it has been choreographed several times by other ladies.

I came today, but I don't know why.

Listening to Mrs. Wang's speech, she is not like an official wife who does not understand etiquette.

"Now that we're here, let's play two laps together! Mrs. Xing will wake up in a while. Zhuang Xiaoxian's kind invitation.

"It's fine." There was a sigh of clothes, followed by the sound of rubbing mahjong, thinking that Mrs. Wang had already taken a seat.

He Xinwan had just been lying down for a while, and she had no sleepiness after being woken up. But I didn't want to go out and deal with the people outside. With only his eyes open, he lay quietly on the couch and listened to the sound of the conversation outside.

"Every time I invite you to come with me, you are not there, why are you free today?" A lady's voice, although the words are extremely decent, is also an intimate tone, but in the end it is sandwiched with needle cotton.

"A while ago, it was the Chinese New Year, and several nurseries and nursing homes in the city had to be taken care of. I didn't come in time to say hello to the commander's wife. Mrs. Wang's tone was still light, but for some reason, He Xinwan heard a little provocation.

"Yes! How did we forget, Mrs. Wang is a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go. He is a director of the charity association hand-picked by the commander. Madame's slightly sour voice rose again.

"That's a good thing, and I think Madame naturally agrees." Zhuang Xiaoxian's voice was quite calm.

I think those ladies have been here for a few days and know the weight of Zhuang Xiaoxian's words in Yaci. Now that she had spoken, she put away her sharpness.

"Then I'll be relieved." Mrs. Wang's calmness in dealing with Zhuang Xiaoxian was only light.

There was silence outside, and the sound of mahjong rubbing resumed.

There was a wife who was watching next to her, and she was slightly impatient: "Tsk, Mrs. Zhu, what are you bumping into when you go out today, this luck is really stinky, you might as well rest for a while." ”

"My sister didn't say that, I don't know if I ran into something unclean. I think Mrs. Wang also came from Huiju Road today! It's also such rotten luck. Presumably, Mrs. Wang's luck at the card table today is not good, and Mrs. Zhu is not happy in her heart, so she naturally wants to find other people's discomfort.

"Mrs. Zhu's mansion and the concubine's net worth are not very far, if you say that the commander's mansion will go all the way. Unfortunately, the concubine went to Zhuxi Thatched Cottage earlier, so she came directly from Luojia Road. When I arrived, I bought a newspaper on the side of the road. Mrs. Wang's detailed explanation didn't seem to have heard Mrs. Zhu's intention to lead the conversation to her.

"Six loaves, I'm confused." After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, there was a sound of inverted mahjong, thinking that it was a bright bottom of the paste.

There was a shrill exclamation outside the house. Although He Xinwan didn't see the situation outside, the expressions of those ladies and wives couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

This Mrs. Wang is really an extraordinary woman.

"When I came, I saw a piece of news in the newspaper, but I don't know if everyone knows about it?" There was no sound outside the house for a long time, He Xinwan was drowsy, and Mrs. Wang's voice came from outside.

"There's nothing more to see than something boring." A lady muttered in a broken mouth, and her voice was not small.

"Master Luo, the train was assassinated. It's not a trivial matter, is it? As soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of inhalation around her.

"Mrs. Wang, can I borrow the newspaper and read it?" Don't look at it, He Xinwan has already guessed. Outside, Zhuang Xiaoxian must be frowning. She was also completely sleepy at this time, and quietly watched the movement outside.

"That's nature." There was a sound of movement outside, presumably reading the newspaper.

"Oops...... Oh yes! …… Yikes! Outside, there was a faint whisper of some lady's wife. Listening to He Xinwan's ears, it was like waves of water hitting the embankment, the waves were shallow and ruthless, moving left and right.

"Mrs. Wang, the slave family thinks that as a family member in the army, it is important not to intervene in military and political affairs." Zhuang Xiaoxian's voice was slightly cold and hard.

After getting along for many years, He Xinwan knows Zhuang Xiaoxian.

She is gentle and resolute, and rarely loses her temper, but if she is really angry, it will not be an attack for no reason. I couldn't help but be busy, what did the newspaper say? Do you want to go out yourself?

"We're just talking about the report in this newspaper, and it's not interfering in government affairs. Miss Zhuang is so evasive, I am afraid that she has confirmed the outside world's statement. While he was hesitating, Mrs. Wang's voice came from outside.

"It seems that Mrs. Wang's leisure today is not for Mrs. Wang's sake. So what does Mrs. Wang think? Although Zhuang Xiaoxian's volume was not loud, that tone was not what a subordinate should have for the guests.

"The concubine doesn't dare, it's just that the concubine has some personal relations with the first commander's wife, and Chuanhua is a very good child, and the concubine will not stand by when such a thing happens, but this is also a family matter, and it is up to the new lady to decide." Mrs. Wang's attitude was tough, and she had no intention of retreating.

The wives and ladies outside probably didn't expect such a situation to suddenly happen, and they all had nothing to say. For a while, only the sound of Zhuang Xiaoxian and Mrs. Wang's conversation could be heard outside.

"Madame is not well, and it is not easy to do these things. Moreover, the slave family believed that Major He would never do such a thing. I'm afraid that someone with a heart will filth our wet clothes...... If Mrs. Wang doesn't believe it, she can go to the commander for verification. ”

He Xinwan heard Zhuang Xiaoxian mention He Shiyi's name, and her heart skipped another beat. That kid has ambitions, how could she not see it. Only what happened this time? How could it be related to him?

"Yes! How could Major He do such a rebellious thing, it was purely a blind report by the newspaper......" I don't know that the lady jumped out to speak, and there was a voice of echo next to him.

"Luo Gongzi is not harmed, it's not too late to ask when he comes back! Why bother with a posture of asking for sin. One person spoke, and the others were not left behind. All kinds of voices, one after another, all pointed directly at Mrs. Wang.

"The concubine's body was abrupt, and she thought that Mrs. He was sensible. When he entered the door of the Luo family, he was Chuan Hua's mother. I didn't have any other intention to come this time, I just pointed to my wife to take care of one or two. It seems that this is not the case. Mrs. Wang chuckled slightly.

"Madame Wang, please pay attention to your identity." Zhuang Xiaoxian's voice was slightly deep.

Mrs. Wang didn't speak, only chuckled slightly disdainfully, and in the silent outer room, it was exceptionally clear.

He Xinwan didn't know when she had sat up from the bed, leaning forward slightly. Through the heavy brocade curtain, there was no sound outside. But He Xinwan seemed to feel the atmosphere of gunpowder smoke outside, and her whole nerves were tense.

At this time, I can't go out.
