Aunt Cui was shocked when she heard the news brought by Mrs. Guan at this time. She didn't expect that Liu's mother and daughter would be so bold that they could even do the burning of the ancestral hall.

Aunt Cui was speechless after listening to this, as if she was bowing her head and pondering.

"Auntie, my daughter still has something for me to bring to you." Guan Pozi said a little hesitantly.

Seeing this, Aunt Cui said softly: "Mama Guan has something to say, we have known each other for so many years, and I have long regarded Mama as my own." Mama, but you don't have enough money? ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Guan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I just accepted your silver from my aunt, it's enough." Just ......"

Thinking of what her daughter had just said, Mrs. Guan gritted her teeth and said: "That's the case, my daughter is not young anymore, this girl is outgoing, and she will miss her mother-in-law when she is older, hehe, don't be surprised when you say it." Some time ago, Madame pointed her to a good place, and the young man was a young steward, and she was also satisfied with her own talents. So now I'm busy preparing for marriage. ”

Guan Pozi secretly glanced at Aunt Cui, and when she saw that she was listening carefully, she said again: "You also know that she has to serve in the lady's house again, and she has to prepare a dowry, so she can't take care of it, so she may be a little neglectful of what you tell Auntie." Auntie - why don't you find someone else to do for you in the future? So as not to delay you. ”

Aunt Cui stared at Mrs. Guan for a while when she heard this, Mrs. Guan was hairy by her, but Aunt Cui suddenly laughed, and she said softly: "It turns out that Cui'er is getting married, this is really a big happy event, Mama, why didn't you tell me earlier, so that I could be happy and happy earlier." ”

Aunt Cui said and turned back to the back room, and walked out after a while, but in her hand she was holding a bracelet with a red gold engraved twig pattern inlaid with jade Ruyi and handed it to Guan Pozi, saying, "This is my makeup for Cui'er." This is the year before the Chinese New Year, when the old lady was kind to the aunts to buy jewelry, I painted the style myself, you let her see if she likes it. ”

Guan Pozi stared at the table in her hand with bright eyes. Nodding busily: "I like it, I like it, how can I not like it." How could my aunt's vision be wrong. She must have loved it. ”

Aunt Cui smiled and nodded: "That's fine." It's not too early, you can go back first. ”

"Huh. Eh, the slave and maid are gone. Guan Pozi couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and was about to retreat, remembering that she hadn't heard Aunt Cui's reply just now, she couldn't help but stop again, and said with a smile: "Then, what the slave just said ......."

Aunt Cui sighed. said: "That is naturally Cui'er's lifelong event, you go down first, I'll think about it again." ”

Guan Pozi was a little reluctant to hear this, looked at the bracelet in her hand, and then at Aunt Cui, and only said: "Although Cui'er's dead girl is busy, but the slave and maid are idle, if the aunt wants someone to run errands, the slave and maid are willing to serve." ”

Aunt Cui nodded and waved her hand to let Mrs. Guan retreat.

Treat people gone. Aunt Cui stretched out her hands, stared at the Dankou in her hand and smiled softly, and sighed: "The people in this world are really many ungrateful, and few are grateful for gratitude. Just ate the bait I laid down. How can it be so easy to escape if you want to. Her voice was soft and soft, like a lover's whisper.

"Auntie, Mrs. Guan has already been sent out." Yuzhu lifted the curtain and came in to report.

Aunt Cui slowly stood up and said, "Help me change my clothes." ”

"Auntie, are you going out?" Yuzhu said in surprise.

Aunt Cui nodded: "I'm going to Hefeng Courtyard." ”

***

Sanniang had just finished bathing and was letting Bai Zhi wait to wipe her hair with a cotton towel, when she suddenly saw Bai Ying come in and whispered that Aunt Cui was here. asked her to retire the people around her, she had something important to discuss.

Sanniang raised her eyebrows, groaned for a while, and let Bai Zhi go out with everyone.

In the middle of the ring, Bai Ying walked in with Aunt Cui, who was wearing a cloak and dressed in a low-key manner.

"Third Miss." Aunt Cui stepped forward and respectfully saluted Sanniang.

Sanniang replied with a half-salute and said with a smile: "Why did my aunt think of coming to my yard today?" What a rarity. ”

Aunt Cui said softly: "The concubine has long wanted to come, but I'm afraid that Mama Zhao doesn't like the concubine to come here." Mama Zhao, she-I had a misunderstanding of the concubine in my early years, so-"

Sanniang interrupted with a smile: "If Aunt Cui wants to explain the misunderstanding in the early years, then I will have someone take you to Mama Zhao now." You can reminisce slowly. ”

Aunt Cui paused, shook her head and said: "The misunderstanding between the concubine and Mama Zhao is not clear that can be explained in a few words, and the concubine came to the third miss today to discuss important matters." ”

"Something important?" Sanniang playfully read these two words, noncommittal.

"Can the third lady hold back?" Aunt Cui glanced at Bai Ying beside Sanniang.

Sanniang smiled: "If my aunt has something to say, it's okay." ”

Aunt Cui's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears swirled in her eyes, but they didn't fall out, which made people feel worried when they saw it. Sanniang quietly looked at her for a while, and only when she had appreciated enough did she say softly: "Does my aunt have any 'important things' to discuss with Sanniang?" ”

Aunt Cui's eyelashes trembled, a teardrop slid down her cheeks, and one was still hanging in her eyes: "Third Miss, the concubine got the news, madam, madam, she wants to bring Wu Niang to Datong." ”

Sanniang thought to herself, where did this Aunt Cui get the news? It seems that her low-key indisputability over the years has really been done for people to see.

Although she thought so, Sanniang smiled and said: "This is a good thing, I heard that the second sister said that Mrs. invited several famous teachers to her in Datong to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even the embroidery girl who taught needlework was invited from Beijing, and I heard that she had embroidered a phoenix robe for the queen mother back then." If the fifth sister is in the past, and she is loved by the lord and wife, and the second sister is also in love, she will definitely have a good future in the future, auntie, shouldn't you be happy? ”

Aunt Cui choked when she heard this, and paused for a while before crying: "I should have been happy, but she is still young, and she is not very sensible on weekdays, and the concubine is afraid that she will go to Datong to make Mrs. angry." When the time comes, the concubine can't plead for her if she wants to. ”

Sanniang groaned: "The second sister has always had a good temper, and nothing should happen to her to protect the fifth sister, auntie, you are too worried." ”

Aunt Cui saw that Yu'er didn't take the bait for a long time, and she didn't have time to rub her mouth with Sanniang here, so she could only open the skylight and say something bright: "Actually, the concubine came today to remind Miss San." Tomorrow, the second lady will ask you to go to the old lady to serve in front of the lady. ”

Sanniang frowned when she heard this, but did not speak, Aunt Cui looked at Sanniang's face and continued: "Third Miss, you know that the concubine was born in Hefeng Courtyard. Back then, it was because the late third lady took pity on the concubine that the concubine is where she is today, and the concubine has not dared to forget the grace of the Lord for a moment over the years. Therefore, when she heard the news, the concubine hurried to inform the third lady. ”

"Third Miss, if one of your concubines really goes to serve Mrs. Liu, it is tantamount to recognizing the status of Mrs. Liu's wife. After that, she will ask for the genealogy of the Wang family. Mrs. Liu entered the mansion before the death of the third lady, although she was a flat wife, but she was just a noble concubine with a higher status than the concubine. It's a trap, you can't jump into it. The third lady only has your fifth young master in the world, how can you be insulted like this? The concubine ...... as soon as she thought about it It's very sad. But the concubine is small, and there is really no way to stop it. ”

Sanniang looked at Aunt Cui and said worriedly: "Then according to what Aunt Cui saw, what should Sanniang do?" ”

Aunt Cui took out a handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "The slave has thought about it, is the third lady also sick?" But if you just pretend to be sick, I'm afraid that the doctor will be exposed as soon as he comes, so it's better to ......" Aunt Cui glanced at the steaming hot tea on the table.

Sanniang shook her head in her heart, how could the only way these women could think of escape was self-harm? Siniang is like this, and Aunt Cui is like this. Or does Aunt Cui think that if it is not her daughter's body, she can toss hard?

"Auntie wants me to burn myself?" Sanniang pretended to be surprised and said, "But it's summer, what should I do if the wound has been bad?" Will there be a scar? ”

Aunt Cui saw that Sanniang was a little scared, and hurriedly said: "Third Miss, it's just a momentary pain, and it's over after enduring." Naturally, the government will ask the best doctor to treat you at that time, and there will be no scars. ”

Sanniang pretended to hesitate, but Aunt Cui saw it but shed tears: "If it is, if the concubine herself or the concubine's daughter can bear this sin for the third lady, the concubine will not hesitate at all." When the lady was alive, she often said, 'A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated', and the concubine really can't bear to see the third lady's flesh and blood trampled on to this point. ”

Sanniang gritted her teeth and said: "Sanniang knows, aunt doesn't need to say it, Sanniang will do it when the time comes." ”

When Aunt Cui heard this, she slowly collected her tears and burst into laughter: "The concubine knows that Madame's daughter will definitely be decisive." ”

Sanniang smiled and nodded: "It's not too early, auntie go back first." ”

Aunt Cui saw that her goal was achieved, and she didn't want to stay longer. hurriedly saluted Sanniang and withdrew.

When Sanniang saw her out of the room, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake it. This aunt's crying skills are really good, and she finally sent them away. However, when Liu discussed this matter with Erniang, there must be no one around, or only someone who can be trusted.

And Aunt Cui can know so many things about the Liu family, it seems that she has laid eyeliner around the Liu family.

This Cui Juan'er is really not simple!

"Miss, do you really plan to injure yourself to escape the matter of serving Madame Liu?" Bai Ying looked at Sanniang and said worriedly.

Sanniang said lightly when she heard this: "Didn't you say that the body hair and skin are affected by your parents?" Aunt Cui kept saying that she was unhappy for my mother. But Sanniang knew that if my mother knew about it, she would put my safety first. How can I do something that makes my relatives and enemies happy? ”

"Is that young lady planning to serve Mrs. Liu?"

Sanniang smiled when she heard this, with some pride and confidence in her smile, as if the calculations of the Liu family and Erniang were like children's toys in her eyes, and she didn't pay attention to them at all.

"Then she has to have the ability to do it." ()
