Chapter 123: Liu's Bruises
Although Erniang didn't finish speaking, but Liu also understood, she reached out and stroked her lower abdomen a little gloomily, although she has been following the master for so many years, the master is not the ridiculous and lustful person who pulls people everywhere in the house, but since giving birth to Erniang, this belly has always not moved.
But...... The fierceness in Liu's eyes gradually appeared, and even so, she could not tolerate someone who could threaten her status.
Wang Jing...... Wang Jing......
Erniang looked up and saw Liu's eyes, and she was shocked, she naturally knew what Liu's was thinking.
"Mother, no." Erniang shouted.
Hearing this, Liu looked at Erniang, who got up from Liu's arms and waved his hand to signal everyone around her to retreat. The maids and maids who were waiting quietly bowed out of the house.
"Mother, don't do anything to the fifth brother, it's not the time yet." Erniang clenched Liu's hand and said seriously.
Liu knew that although her daughter was young, she had an idea, and she had always helped her with advice, so she didn't listen to her daughter. At this time, although he was a little unimpressed, he still asked, "Why not?" ”
"The fifth brother is now the only man in our third room, if he has three long and two short...... Mother, don't forget, the Wang family is not just our room! The father is now past the standing, if he does not have a son, then he will have to bear a lot of pressure in the family, have you forgotten your uncle and grandfather? ”
Liu Shi was shocked when he heard this.
The uncle and grandfather that Erniang said are Wang Xian, the current scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wenhua Palace. Wang Xian had no children, and was forced to accept a concubine under the pressure of the clan, but he only gave birth to a daughter. In these years, the clan is forcing Wang Xian to choose a child from the clan to succeed, and Wang Xian has not returned to his hometown for a long time because of this matter.
But if you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth, Wang Xian always has to give an explanation to the clan, even if he is the teacher of the Son of Heaven. As an important minister of the court, as long as he is still surnamed Wang, he cannot ignore the opinions of the clan and go his own way.
"Mother." Erniang looked at Liu Shi with some hesitation. In the end, he said ruthlessly: "Mother, my father is now being reused by the imperial court, didn't I hear last time that my father had outstanding political achievements in recent years." Does the emperor intend to let his father enter the cabinet in the future? ”
There was an irrepressible joy on Liu's face, because Zhao had only been dead for a year. Wang Dong has not yet asked her to be sealed, if Wang Dong is promoted again, then the title of Mrs. Decree on her head will definitely not be able to escape. When the time comes, it will definitely suppress the pleasant head of the five-grade Jin's family.
When Erniang saw Liu's face, she naturally understood what she was thinking, so she had to pour cold water on her and said, "But, mother, don't forget that your name is not on the Wang family's genealogy now." If the father is in a high position, I am afraid that someone in the clan will take the opportunity to take advantage of this loophole to remarry a stepwife for his father. If there is no fifth brother as a shield. This reason for marrying a wife for my father is even more sufficient, and even my grandmother has nothing to say. At that point, we will be in a precarious position. ”
Liu's face gradually turned pale when she listened, and she opened her mouth several times to refute, but in the end she couldn't find a reason to refute, because she knew that every word Erniang said was the truth, and because it was a fact, every sentence seemed to poke her heart and make her hurt sharply.
"If I had a son, if I could have a son......" Ryu closed his eyes. muttered.
Erniang looked at her mother sadly, and she was very sad in her heart, but there was no way. I could only lean over and hug Liu's arm and comfort: "Mother, don't worry. You're still young. Let's take Wu Niang with us first, and let Aunt Cui keep an eye on Hefeng Courtyard, and wait for later...... I am not afraid that Aunt Cui will not obey orders. ”
***
In the side hospital of Fangzhi Hospital, Aunt Cui is sitting on the clinical couch embroidering a purse. Pink plum embroidered on the ink blue background, solemn and elegant. After embroidering the last plum rui, Aunt Cui slowly walked out the long thread thread threaded in the needle, made a knot around the needle tail on the inside of the purse, and cut the thread with small scissors.
Aunt Cui put the embroidered purse on her hand and looked at it carefully, and smiled slightly.
"Yugui, bring me the dried plum blossoms I collected in the winter, don't forget the spices you asked someone to buy last time." Aunt Cui turned her head and instructed Yuguidao, who was holding the soles of her shoes on the side.
"Huh." Yuzhu answered and walked out of the house.
After a while, someone lifted the curtain and entered the house, and Aunt Cui was about to say that she was coming back so quickly, but she saw that it was Yuzhu who had been sent out before, and at this time Yuzhu did not come back alone, she was followed by a mother-in-law.
Aunt Cui saw that the visitor's eyes flashed, and without waiting for Yuzhu to speak, she glanced at her, and Yuzhu picked up an unfinished show shed on the kang, took a horse and turned around and went out and sat at the door.
Aunt Cui smiled and saluted the visitor, and said, "Mama Guan." ”
"Ouch, I can't help it, I can't help it......" The mother-in-law called Mama Guan hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Aunt Cui, and saluted Aunt Cui again.
"Mama, please take a seat, I'll let the maid serve tea." Aunt Cui greeted with a smile.
Mama Guan shook her hand and said hurriedly: "Ouch, my good aunt, when are you still paying attention to this." Slaves and maids are not here to ask you for tea. ”
Aunt Cui paused when she heard this, looked at Mama Guan and said, "Mama is here today, what important things do you have to say?" ”
Mama Guan rolled her eyes at this time, as if she was hesitating.
Aunt Cui smiled, turned around and walked to the dresser in the inner room, opened a small drawer under a double-layered jewelry box painted with gold and scorpion, took out a plain small purse from it, and picked out a golden hairpin with a red gold four-sided pyramidal hosta flower head from the upper drawer.
Mama Guan stretched her neck in this room and peeked into the inner room, and when she saw Aunt Cui turn around and come out, she hurriedly shrank back, pretending to stand up respectfully. Aunt Cui just didn't see her little movements, slowly walked in front of her, and smiled and stuffed the purse in her hand into Mama Guan's hand.
"Take this to Mama for tea, don't dislike it."
Mama Guan secretly checked the purse in her hand, and estimated that it was about one or two silver nudes, and she was satisfied, but her eyes were still fixed on the golden hairpin in Aunt Cui's hand that looked to weigh three or four dollars.
Aunt Cui seemed to have forgotten that she still had a hairpin in her hand, and only smiled softly and said, "I heard that your girl has been promoted to the first-class girl next to Mrs., and I haven't given a congratulatory gift yet." As I said earlier, Cui'er is a clever girl and will definitely be used by Madame, so I'm right? ”
Mama Guan slanted at the golden hairpin in Aunt Cui's hand, and said with a smile on her face like a flower: "Accept your auspicious words." In the end, Cui'er's girl can have today's blessing, thanks to your kindness, aunt, and always remember to reward slaves and maids. Therefore, although she went to work with her wife, the slave and maid stayed here to guard the yard, and she did not cut off contact with her, and she was able to find an opportunity to find a good future for her when she learned that a big girl beside her was released. ”
"However, the girl of my family, it's not that I want to praise her, she is really a good girl with affection and righteousness, she always remembers the affection of your aunt who has helped us all these years, and always tells the slave maid what to repay the kindness of the aunt. No, as soon as there is news over there, they are in a hurry to send me to see you. ”
"Oh? What's the news? Aunt Cui said with some doubts in her heart.
Mama Guan hurried to Aunt Cui's ear, and poured all the words of her daughter's explanation to Aunt Cui, lest she not say it in detail.
Aunt Cui couldn't help but clench her hands into fists when she heard this, and she didn't notice that the petals of the hosta flower hurt her palms, but Mama Guan, who had been paying attention to her hands, was a little painful.
"Auntie? Aunt? Mama Guan couldn't help but exclaim.
When Aunt Cui heard this, she came back to her senses, and when she looked at Mama Guan, her eyes were already full of tears, and she was pitiful: "Madam, does she really have this plan?" I want to ...... my Yue'er."
Mama Guan cursed and swore: "It's true, my girl heard it with her own ears." Although the second miss was sent out later, with the lady's obedience to the second miss, she will definitely follow the second miss's wishes. ”
Aunt Cui blinked, and a tear in her eyes fell down her cheek and smashed on the ground at her feet. Her eyes were as clear and crystal clear as if they had been washed: "Why did the second miss suddenly have such thoughts?" ”
Guan Pozi said: "The second miss seems to feel that the fifth miss and the third miss are getting closer, so that they are alienated from her, the second sister. The slave maid guessed that the second miss was worried that the fifth miss was too close to the third miss and the fifth young master, and she was a little worried...... You know, Madame has no children...... The most taboo is the Hefeng Courtyard...... "Although Mrs. Guan said half of her speech, she left half of it, but Aunt Cui understood what she meant.
Thinking that it was because of the two brothers and sisters of Hefeng Courtyard, the Liu family, that they thought of breaking up her and Yue'er, Aunt Cui was extremely ruthless in her heart. She gritted her teeth and cursed fiercely in her heart, but her face was still weak, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"What else does Madame have to say?"
Aunt Cui finally handed the golden hairpin in her hand to Mama Guan, and Mama Guan quickly caught it, for fear that Aunt Cui would regret it, so she quickly stuffed it back into her sleeve pocket.
The look in Madame's eyes at that time seemed to want to make a move on the Hefeng Courtyard. However, the second lady stopped her. Mama Guan hurriedly said.
"Why did the second lady stop Madame?"
"The second lady drove Cui'er and the others out, so they didn't hear it."
Aunt Cui secretly pondered in her heart, and finally had to admit that this second lady was very thoughtful. I'm afraid you have to be careful when acting in front of her in the future, so as not to let her catch the handle.
It's just that it is impossible for her to let Liu's wishful thinking succeed, and she wants to take away her Yue'er from her, Aunt Cui sneered in her heart, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, then let's see!
Aunt Cui asked Na Guan a few more words, and until she couldn't answer anything, she personally sent her out of the door. ()
