Chapter 43: Provocation
Before I knew it, it was October, and I added winter clothes in the morning and evening. The seventh day of the first month is Aunt Lin's thirty-ninth birthday, and the old rule of the house is that all ten full birthdays need to be passed one year in advance.
The teacher also remembered Wanying, who celebrated her mother's birthday at home in the last year of this year, so she insisted on doing a big job. Although the whole house did not say it in person, everyone understood that it was done in accordance with the rules of his wife's birthday.
Aunt Lin originally refused to agree, but first, she didn't care about birthdays and other things; Second, such a big deal is also heart-wrenching. So he excused himself and said: "Compared with previous years, add a scene, and everyone's lively and lively will pass, birthdays, every year, it's not a big deal." ”
Master Shi didn't think so in his heart, for more than 20 years, he had wronged the people in front of him, no matter how Aunt Lin excused herself, she only said: "In the past few years, I haven't given you a decent birthday, which is a dereliction of duty as a husband." Don't think about it, use it with peace of mind. ”
Helplessly, the master insisted on doing it, and Aunt Lin had to follow the teacher's wishes. Three days before her birthday, the post had already been released, and Concubine Dong'an didn't need to mention it. Mrs. Wu Anhou didn't have much friendship with us, but after the birthday of the teacher this year, she often walked around with her wife and mother, so there are also posts. Princess Beiping's post was sent out, because the princess's mother's family was filial, and she knew that she would not come.
The ladies on the list of distinguished guests are: Mrs. Pan Wuxing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Mrs. Wei Zhenbang, Mrs. Wei Zhenbang, the left imperial history of the Inspectorate, Mrs. Luo Guangsheng, the general of the chariot and cavalry, Mrs. Wu Yunqing, the head of the pavilion, and Mrs. Wang Chengfu, the right attendant of the Prince Shaobao Household Department. The rest are all three grades and below, and will not be repeated one by one.
On this day, the autumn is crisp and the sun is warm. Hongfu moved the damp books in the study to the yard, Wanying sandwiched the bamboo pole one by one to dry the books, only to see Lu Rong crying and wiping her tears and running in, Hongfu saw this and knew that it must be naughty outside, so she put down the classics in her hand, and asked: "I am in the nest at home all day, why do you not move when you leave the courtyard door?" ”
"Where am I angry? It was the old lady who hit me in the mouth. If you don't talk about others, it's not you who sent me first. Lu Rong covered her face and cried.
"This dead woman is working every day, how did you provoke her?" Hongfu reprimanded Lu Rong all day long, but when she saw that she was angry outside, she inevitably stood for her.
"Just now I was stubborn with Zhang's mother's big girl in the kitchen yard, she came to deliver the food box, and when she saw me when she went out, she scolded: 'Dirty prostitute, Ming'er is a good day for your master's majesty, the whole family is tossing and turning, what are you still doing here?' Lu Rong sobbed and said, "How old am I?" He scolded me and belittled me like that. ”
"Then why did she hit you again?" Hongfu was also angry at this time.
"I said, auntie, you can't take words to slap me, who is a prostitute knows in her heart." Lu Rong wiped her tears with her sleeve and said.
When Gao Da Niang was young, she was also a little bit beautiful, and she was frivolous, and the second housekeeper Lian Sheng was a soft persimmon, and she and the male servants who had an improper style at home also had some things to do. Now that she is old and decrepit, Lian Sheng has become the second housekeeper again, so she will no longer mention the things of the past, but today she heard Lu Rong's words, and she was naturally annoyed for fear that the things that she couldn't hide would be pulled out in public.
At this point, Wanying and Hongfu both know what's going on, although Lu Rong has suffered, but she is too open-mouthed. Wanying felt sorry for the blood marks on Lu Rong's face, and before she could speak, she saw Hongfu hurriedly running into the house, taking a bottle of safflower oil to reduce swelling, and throwing it into Lu Rong's hand. mourned his misfortune, and said angrily: "Why don't you go up and smack her in the mouth, it's a big deal to her, so as to save these pickled gases." ”
Wanying had no intention of stopping Hongfu from saying this, she was even more worried in her heart, she was afraid that this matter would involve more and bigger waves.
"How can I beat her, you have the ability to beat her." Lu Rong originally suffered a loss, but she was not relieved to see Hongfu's mouth, and she was really aggrieved in her heart.
"If it were me, I wouldn't have made her feel better this time. If you don't kill her majesty, she will become a vicious dog and bite her mouth all day long. ”
Wan Ying frowned and reprimanded: "Hongfu, that's how you teach Lu Rong on weekdays? ”
Hongfu took the books, sandwiched them one by one on the bamboo pole, and said, "Miss, it's because we always let them make them face." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's on the face, or if it's not on the face, I just don't want to cause more trouble for my mother." Wanying's words were slightly sad, not only was Lu Rong humiliated, but also thought that she was about to leave the house in the near future, and she didn't know how her mother's life would live.
Lu Rong heard the silence in my words, stopped sobbing, stepped forward and said, "Miss, do you know what the outside says about us?"
As soon as these words came out, the book in Hongfu's hand was almost frightened, and she directly said, "Hugh wants to talk nonsense." ”
This is obviously covered, just to cover up, how can Wanying, who is as smart as Wanying, not see it, put down the book in her hand, took the safflower oil bottle in Lu Rong's hand, dropped a few drops on her hand, and rubbed it on Lu Rong's face little by little, a strong musky breath came to her face, Wan Ying said softly: "You just tell me what you heard, word for word." ”
Hongfu was not good on the side to stop Lu Rong, and Lu Rong said the matter in one go.
"Just now, Aunt Ruichun in Mrs.'s house went to the kitchen to get the small silver stove for boiling medicine, I was stubborn outside the window, and I heard that Mrs. was distressed and sick again." Lu Rong leaned her mouth towards me again and said: "The old immortal aunt said to Aunt Ruichun, our aunt and grandmother don't know what to do, even if the master is raised, he has to know what his identity is, but an aunt, what kind of lady is the wife, it is necessary to let outsiders laugh at the lack of rules in our master's house." ”
"What did Aunt Ruichun say?" Wanying asked.
"Aunt Ruichun didn't say anything, she only said that it is also a common thing for the little wife of a big family to celebrate her birthday, and our division is also considered to have a head and face in the capital, and the little wife has a banquet on her birthday, which is not unruly."
Wanying thought about it in her heart, it was still Mrs. * who came out to know right from wrong, although she was not happy in her heart, and she was also harmonious and beautiful in her mouth.
Lu Rong had no heart for the city, and said directly: "But the old immortal said that he had never seen such a method, and he obviously put his wife aside." ”
Wanying is in a hurry, this is the means of Gao Da Niang, who stirs up the family, nothing to do, fanning the fire, if such a good opportunity does not give rise to some incidents, how can it be possible? Hurriedly asked, "How did Aunt Ruichun reply to her?" ”
Lu Rong rubbed her face and only said, "Aunt Ruichun only said that Mrs. lives in Zhengshen Hall, where can she put it?" ”
"And then?"
"Then, Aunt Gao still wanted to provoke Aunt Ruichun, but Aunt Rui said that Mrs. was useless, so she left without time to talk to her."
"Finished?"
"That's it, miss! Then the old immortal also came out, and scolded me when he saw me. ”
"Okay, don't mention this, especially in front of my mother, understand?" I say.
"Miss, the face of Midori Rong ......"
Before Lu Rong finished speaking, Wanying suppressed her words and said, "I can't let my mother know half a word about this matter." ”
"Got it." The two spoke in unison.
