Chapter 152: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

Looking at Aunt Cui, who was low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes in front of her, Liu secretly gritted her teeth.

Wang Dong doesn't like women to be petty and jealous, which she knew when Zhao was there. When she first married into the mansion, she didn't know Wang Dong's temperament, and she had a quarrel with Wang Dong because of the Zhao family, but Wang Dong didn't enter her room for several months. Since then, she no longer dares to show her jealousy in front of Wang Dong.

Aunt Cui is a little slut, just clean up behind her back, why make Wang Dong unhappy.

Liu reached out to pick up the medicine bowl handed by Aunt Cui, and as soon as his palm touched, he felt a burning pain. Liu subconsciously let go, and a bowl of hot medicinal juice fell from Liu's hand and smashed on the ground next to the bed. The medicinal juice splashed on the bedside, and also splashed Aunt Cui's embroidered shoes and corners.

Aunt Cui's face turned pale, and she knelt on the foot in front of Liu's bed. Liu didn't think about it, and raised his hand to slap him hard.

"Slut, you want to burn me!"

Aunt Cui's eyes turned red, and she tried not to let her tears fall: "The concubine has already tried it just now, and it's not hot." How dare the concubine deliberately burn the lady. ”

Just now, Aunt Cui did not frown and stepped forward with the medicine bowl in both hands, Liu's like this, in the eyes of outsiders, it is easy to understand that Liu's deliberately found an excuse to teach Aunt Cui a lesson.

"Slut! You still want to quibble, that bowl of medicine just now is clearly ......"

"Alright." Wang Dong frowned and looked at Liu's family, and said.

Liu looked at Wang Dong aggrievedly: "Master, this slut deliberately came across a bowl of hot medicinal juice." It's trying to burn me. ”

Wang Dong looked at Aunt Cui who was kneeling straight, one of her cheeks was already slightly red and swollen, and Liu Shi was not light just now. Aunt Cui just lowered her head, holding back her tears, her hands tightly clutched the edge of her skirt and trembled slightly. But though she lowered her head. But his back was straight. With a hint of stubbornness and pride.

Such a Liu clan. It's easy to make a man who doesn't know much about backyard struggles make a judgment with such an Aunt Cui. Wang Dong said coldly to the Liu family: "Didn't the Wang family's family motto teach you to be generous and benevolent? Is it the style of the wife in charge to insult and beat the maids and concubines in the family at will? You should study hard before meddling in housework, so as not to embarrass the Wang family. ”

Liu's hearing was like being struck by lightning: "Master, ......"

Wang Dong ignored it, stood up and walked out. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" paused when he walked to the door, and said lightly to Aunt Cui: "She is so energetic, there is no need for you to serve here." Go back to your yard. With that, he lifted his leg and left.

Only then did Aunt Cui stand up, moved slightly outside the bed, and said timidly: "Concubine Maid will bring a bowl of medicine to Mrs. again?" ”

Cui Shi glared at Aunt Cui fiercely, resisting the urge to pick up the porcelain pillow and smash it on her face. Gritted his teeth and said, "Get out." ”

When Aunt Cui heard this, she saluted Liu's Yingying: "Yes, madam." The concubine stepped aside. ”

Aunt Cui respectfully bowed her head and took a few steps back before turning around and slowly leaving Sun's room. The etiquette is perfect, and it is impossible to find the slightest mistake. When she walked outside, Aunt Cui didn't forget to explain the red silk that taught the little maid a lesson in the yard. Let her go in and serve Madame.

Aunt Cui walked out of the main courtyard and smiled slightly.

She'll have to do it first.

It's just that what Aunt Cui didn't expect was that she had just escaped from Liu's yard, and a message spread in the yard before she could take any action.

In the evening, when Sun Yuanhong returned to his courtyard after eating the banquet prepared for him by the Sun family, he heard the whispers of the maids and ladies in the courtyard.

"Eh, I heard that Master Sun came to the house this time to propose marriage for the young master."

"Ah, isn't the Sun family the old lady's maiden family? It's a good thing to kiss and kiss. ”

"It's a good thing. I don't know which young lady the old lady will give to Young Master Sun? ”

"I heard from my cousin on an errand in Songling Courtyard that it was Miss Five. Because the fifth lady fell in love with this young master Sun, she also met the eyes of Master Sun. The other maid interjected with great interest.

"Tsk, you're already an old calendar. Now it is said that the old lady may marry the second lady. ”

"Second Miss? Isn't the second lady sick? ”

"yes. But the second lady, her life is good. Don't you know that the second lady was born on the eighth day of the Buddha's birthday? Born with the Buddha's energy. I heard that people born on this day can not only be lucky in distress, but also bring luck to their husbands. When I was at home, I heard my grandmother mention that there was once a man who had committed a bad spell in Shenlou Town, Deping County, Jinan, and the fortune tellers said that he was a blessed man with a short life, and he did not live to be 30 years old, so although the family was a little wealthy, no one dared to marry his daughter to him. ”

"But nothing can be cut straight at all. At the age of twenty-nine, the man rescued a woman who, seeing that he was lonely, married him in return for her kindness, and did not want to have since escaped death several times, and after several perils, he has been smooth and smooth. Later, an old monk in a temple told him that it was because his wife had married well! And guess what? It turned out that the wife he married happened to be born on the Buddha's birthday, and it was very compatible with this man's personality. ”

"But is this Young Master Sun and Second Miss's fate compatible?"

"Isn't this young master short of gold in the five elements? I heard a grandmother who knows fortune telling say that the fate of our second lady is that...... Jin Duomu Wang, four pillars of heaven stem four gold into an image, the ground branch wood is not dry, like water through gold to raise wood...... The little girl bragged wildly.

When Sun Yuanhong heard this, the wine had already woken up for more than half of the time.

"Anyway, it's a perfect match for Young Master Sun's life."

"In this way, the old lady is very likely to marry the second lady. Approaching Young Master Sun is the nephew of the old lady's mother's family, and he couldn't be closer. I definitely hope that Young Master Sun is well. ”

"Alright, don't say it. The banquet in front of us had already dispersed, so we hurried to the kitchen to see if the decanting soup and hot water were ready. Master Sun will be back soon. ”

The maids who spoke scattered in a hurry, but Sun Yuanhong couldn't sleep for a long time after tossing and turning this night.

The news that was said in the courtyard just now had already spread in the backyard of the Wang family when the lights were about to go out. Aunt Cui was stunned when she heard Yuzhu talk about these words, and fell into deep thought.

"Auntie, this is God's long eyes. Let the second miss marry, and our young lady will be safe. Today, Mrs. Liu is still proud in front of you, and she is distressed now. ”

Aunt Cui frowned slightly. This matter was not arranged for her to be done, although the development of things was beneficial to her, but she always felt that something was missing, and she felt a little uneasy.

I don't know who first came out of this. Now in the house, the most unlucky person who wants to see Liu's mother and daughter unlucky, I am afraid that she is the person from the big house. Of course, the Hefeng Courtyard side would not like the Liu family, but thinking of Wang Ke and Wang Jing, Aunt Cui shook her head.

Wang Ke has always been unknown among the sisters, and even if something happens, she never sees her resisting, but will only blindly obey. She watched her grow up, if there was any crooked thoughts, it was impossible for her to realize that after so many years, Wang Ke's temperament was very similar to Zhao's, and she didn't even have Zhao's arrogance. Last time, she was calculated by the Liu family, even if she was provoked, she gave an idea, but she didn't see any action from her, and in the end, if it wasn't for Lian's prevention, I'm afraid she was serving by Liu's side at this time.

Wang Jing is even more impossible, he has never been enlightened about the backyard at all.

Could that have been arranged by the Kim family? Aunt Cui walked slowly back and forth in the room, thinking with her eyes down.

No matter who did it, in Liu's eyes, she must not be able to escape the involvement, and she can't sit still.

"How many days have you been staying in the outer courtyard?" Aunt Cui suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Yuzhu nodded. My aunt has always asked her to pay attention to Wang Dong's movements, but she just paid attention to it, and she didn't see any action from her, but today somehow she suddenly remembered to ask. But she still dutifully explained: "My lord sometimes goes out to eat, and when he doesn't go out to socialize, he will go back to Fangzhi Courtyard to eat." Whether it is eating outside or in the house, the lord will finish bathing in Fangzhi Courtyard before going to the outer courtyard to rest. ”

Aunt Cui nodded: "Later, prepare more plum blossom petals and spices that I said that day, and I will use them when I bathe at night." ”

Yuzhu is busy with his body.

Aunt Cui remembered the moment Wang Dong lost her mind when she smelled the fragrance on her body in Sun's room today, and smiled.

On the night when the Zhao family married into the Wang family's cave room, it was not until midnight that Wang Dong returned to the courtyard drunk. When she entered the courtyard, she fell out of Wang Dong's arms and picked it up by her waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Seeing that he was far away, she wanted to return it to him the next day, but she didn't want him to get up early in the morning the next day, and found that the sachet was missing and it was too late to bundle it, so she hurriedly searched for it, and even wanted to look for it outside the yard, until she remembered that she was disheveled.

Just dressed and combed his hair, he left in a hurry. Even the tea ceremony on the second day of marriage did not appear, and the Zhao family went alone.

She wanted to hand over the sachet to him to thank her, but when it came time to change her mind. The sachet was a little old, and the fragrance was almost gone. She opened the sachet and found that it contained some dried plum petals, as well as an unknown bag of spices.

She didn't know the spice, so she went to the spice shop outside to find someone to identify it, and finally wrote down the recipe for the spice.

She did these things without telling the Zhao family. So although Zhao faintly noticed that there was someone in her husband's heart, she didn't know what kind of woman it was, and she naively thought that one day she would drive out the shadow in her husband's heart. (To be continued)
