Chapter 5: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law (1)
Biwu saw the umbrella on Peony's head at a glance, so she walked over with a fan, bowed to Peony in vain, and said with a smile: "The young lady is not in good health, and she can't get sun, so she shouldn't come out at this time, so she can save the heatstroke." ”
Peony smiled: "Isn't it? But in the morning, the prince went to me and said that Yutong was pregnant, and asked me to take more care of her. Taking advantage of the fact that Mrs. is free at this moment, I seized the time to give Mrs. a gift, and transferred more people to call her, plus the monthly example, so that she could raise the fetus with peace of mind and spread out for the Liu family. ”
Bi Wu had already known this unpleasant news, a trace of unhappiness flashed on her face, and she pretended not to care: "The young lady is really virtuous and generous, Yutong did that kind of thing, not only are you not angry, but you are also worried about her, and you plan for her wholeheartedly, which is really a blessing for the son." ”
Peony covered half of his face with a fan, and pretended to sigh weakly: "I'm weak, I'm sorry for my son, if this kind of thing can't be properly arranged, then I won't have the face to see him." ”
What the prince dislikes the most is the young lady's body-in-the-same figure, Bi Wu glanced at the peony's slender and slender figure disdainfully, curled the corners of her mouth, and deliberately said with pity: "Look at your thinness, you have to rest more, take a good look at the doctor, take good medicine, and take good care of your body." A few days ago, the concubine heard Mrs. sigh, I don't know when you will add a sister-in-law to your son-in-law. ”
Peony sighed hurtfully, thought about it, and said: "Actually, I've been thinking about it for the past few days, it's not a way to go on like this, we can't delay our family's heirs, it's better to ...... Alas, forget it, I'll think about it again......"
Bi Wu listened to the sound and discernment, felt that there was too much implied in this sentence, her smile stiffened, and she said quickly: "Ah, young lady, don't be sad." You're still so young, only seventeen, aren't you? The days are still long, and there are opportunities. ”
Peony just shook her head and sighed, looking at her with sparkling eyes: "What about Qi'er?" I haven't seen him in days. Why didn't you bring him out? ”
The heat wave hit, so hot that Biwu almost suffocated, she desperately held the fan, and said: "Bring it over to Mrs. in the morning to say goodbye, Mrs. stayed, and the concubine will pick him up at this time." ”
Peony said: "Qi'er is smart, well-behaved and cute, beautiful and obedient, I like him very much." ”
Biwu said nervously: "Madame said the same thing, that day she also said that Qi'er had lost weight, and she thought that the concubine was not good, so it was better to let her old man take it personally." "There is no room out, and there are many children in the concubine's room who have been taken away and raised by their own side, but if they want her son, they have to see if you He Peony dares to rob Mrs.
Peony said disappointedly: "Oh, that's it." ”
Bi Wu saw Peony's disappointed look, and the secret way was really guessed by herself, this sick woman really has this kind of thought! It's a pity that she won't let Peony get Qi'er no matter what. Qi'er is currently the only male grandson of the Liu family, and she has relied on her all her life, so she has to hold him tightly in her hands.
Yuhe, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Don't worry, young lady, isn't Yutong there?" When she is born, if she likes it, it will be the same if she is brought to raise. ”
How can you let that slut ride on his son's head? Biwu was even more dissatisfied, glared at Yuhe fiercely, and said sharply: "Yuhe! It's not that I'm talking about you, even if you have a good relationship with Yutong, you should persuade the young lady to take good care of her body and give birth to a sister-in-law seriously. ”
Yuhe's goal was achieved, and he smiled faintly and did not answer.
As soon as this incident was interrupted, Biwu had no intention of finding trouble with the peony, desperately holding the fan, and the whole person was in a state of anxiety and rage. Peony looked at her armpits, only to see that her armpit clothes had been soaked with sweat, looking very embarrassed, she couldn't help but feel good, and went to Mrs. Qi's yard first with a smile.
Entering the main courtyard, the eldest maid in front of Mrs. Qi greeted her with a smile, saluted the peony, and said, "The young lady came here early today, and the lady is still reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall at the moment." ”
Biwu smiled at Nian Nu'er flatteringly: "Miss Niannu, Qi'er has caused you trouble today, right?" "She is the biological mother of the only little boy in the house, and she is favored by the son, no one in this house has ever dared to underestimate her, but she is smart in the end, and she knows that the people around her lady must not be offended, so she naturally wants to please Nian Nu'er. Especially at this critical moment, it is necessary to keep a low profile.
"Auntie is too polite, it's all what slaves and maids should do." Nian Nu smiled faintly without humility or arrogance: "The little boy is still asleep in the blue gauze cupboard at the moment, and the nurse is guarding on the side, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”
Biwu hurriedly shook her hand: "No, no, I'll wait for Mrs. with the young lady." ”
In the small Buddhist hall, there was a lot of cigarette smoke, and Mrs. Liu, who was wearing a black gold gauze shirt and a coral red flower silk skirt, knelt motionless in front of the statue of Guanyin.
Hearing the conversation between Peony, Biwu and Niannu outside, Mrs. Qi ignored it, and concentrated on reciting the Buddhist scriptures before she opened her eyes and stretched out a hand.
Mrs. Qi said lightly: "What time is it?" Why did they all come? ”
Mama Zhu smiled: "Shen Zheng has just passed a moment. Didn't you say that Yutong was pregnant in the morning? ”
She reminded her, Mrs. Qi had a number in her heart, rubbed her eyebrows, and said unhappily: "It's all a little uneasy." This Zishu will only cause me trouble when he is born. To this day, he still asks me to worry about his group of concubines, but he is happy. ”
She's forty-two years old, but she's well-maintained, and she looks no more than thirty-five or sixteen. is beautiful and jealous, and her mother's family is strong, Liu Shangshu and Liu Chengcai don't dare to fight against her at all, so for many years, she has only had a son and a daughter under her knees.
Liu Chang and Liu Zishu are the only sons, who have been pampered by thousands of people since he was a child, and he has to be naughty and mischievous, which really makes her worry enough. Now he has become a pro-official, and he is also good at doing things, but it is really difficult to deal with women. At the beginning, she was forced to marry the daughter of the He family, who was not in the right household, but she also wronged him, so she indulged him a little, and he pulled him into the house one by one, who knew that in the end, this mess was all collected by her.
Mama Zhu looked at her expression and said with a smile: "If the young lady is not so weak, the lady doesn't have to worry so much, I want the old slave to say, the prince is indeed wronged, with our son's family and character, even if he is worthy of the county lord's mother......"
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she said sharply: "It's already a fait accompli, don't mention it again!" Is it possible to divorce his wife?! He stared at Mama Zhu fiercely: "Don't think I don't know what your idea is, I will never let a widow enter the door!" ”
It's not that Madame doesn't want to divorce her wife, but she has no choice but to do it. As for the widow...... Mama Zhu's eyes flashed, she respectfully bent down and took a step back, took a cup of herbal tea and handed it over: "Yes, the old slave knows that he is wrong." ”
Mrs. Qi took the tea and took two sips elegantly, calmed down her emotions, and said, "Let's go, let's see what they say." ”
Mama Zhu hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the curtain before the little maid standing under the curtain, and said with a smile: "Madame, please." ”
As soon as Mrs. Qi's feet stepped out of the threshold, the smile on her face naturally rippled out, and she said in a gentle tone: "Danniang, it's so hot, why don't you wait for the sun to go down before coming over?" You are weak, so you should pay more attention to yourself. ”
"There is Lao's mother's concern." Peony saluted Mrs. Qi with a smile, stepped forward to help her arm, and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law is much better now, and she is also bored and panicked, and she wants to come out and breathe." ”
Mrs. Qi smiled lovingly: "It's good to come out for a walk in the morning and evening." ”
Peony followed Mrs. Qi's words and whispered a lot of unnutritious gossip with her. After entering the main house, after Mrs. Qi sat down, Biwu, who had never had the opportunity to come forward to offer her courtesy, hurriedly took the white jade plate in Nian Nu'er's hand, handed a plate of golden loquat to Mrs. Qi's side, and said with a smile while washing her hands: "This loquat is fresh and sweet, and the concubine serves Mrs. with a little." ”
Seeing this, Peony also hurriedly got up and rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands and took the small white jade plate and silver skewers handed by Nian Nu'er, and prepared a fruit to serve Mrs. Qi.
Seeing that the two of them were busy, Mrs. Qi said slowly: "Don't be busy, I don't want to eat now." Danniang, you are weak, come and sit next to me to rest. ”
Peony couldn't refuse, so she had to sit sideways on the crescent stool in front of Mrs. Qi's bed. Mrs. Qi called Nian Nu'er again: "Serve tea to the young lady, don't take herbal tea, make hot tea again." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Qi was so interested in peony, Biwu couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, stopped her movements and stood aside, looking at the peony with a slightly sideways face.
Mrs. Qi saw it clearly, and said with a smile: "Biwu, Qi'er has been sleeping for a long time, you go in and take a look, coax him to get up, sober up, it's time for dinner." ”
Biwu became overjoyed at this time, and happily followed Nian Jiao'er, another big girl in Mrs. Qi's house, to the Bisha cupboard.
Mrs. Qi asked Peony at this time: "I heard that Xia Xia is disrespectful to you today?" ”
In this family, there was nothing that could be hidden from Mrs. Qi, and Peony was not surprised, and smiled slightly: "There is nothing to do." It's the little maid in my yard who is not sensible. ”
Mrs. Qi turned the Ganan wood rosary in her hand, and said: "You are the young lady in the family, you should show some momentum, don't be soft, even if the subordinates don't know the height of the sky, others will laugh at my Liu family for having no rules." ”
Peony hurriedly got up and responded, and secretly said to herself, if she really showed her momentum, I was afraid that Mrs. Qi would not be able to tolerate her again. Before her goal is achieved, she must live in peace, right?
