Chapter 10 The Housewife
The woman at the front, in her forties, wore a purple dress, her hair was held in a high bun, a chain of South Sea pearls the size of light blue grapes hung on her chest, a gold bracelet and a jade bracelet on her wrist, and a pair of coral studs of high purity above her ears.
Baili Guyan saw her earlier when she was in the General's Mansion, she was Princess Huairen, that is, the eldest lady in Gu's mother's mouth. The eldest lady is the half-sister of her mother, Princess Huaide, and the two sisters married into the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion respectively and became the head of the house. If you really want to count the seniority, Baili Guyan still has to call her "aunt".
The eldest lady was followed by a woman in a pure white tunic dress, and her long black hair spread out, becoming a dazzling and extraordinary scenery in this courtyard. Apricot eyes, willow eyebrows, and a half-sized red mole is hidden next to the eye on the left side, and Baili Guyan will never forget this face in her dreams, this is the "good cousin" Shangguan Jingmei who sent her on the road with a glass of poisonous wine that day!
Shangguan Jingmei is extremely dignified on the surface, quiet and gentle, but in her bones she is the same as her mother, the eldest lady. She raised her face high, and her eyes were full of arrogance.
Gu's mother trotted all the way to follow the directions, and seeing that the group of them was getting closer and closer to the courtyard, Baili Guyan hurriedly closed the door and turned over to bed.
Mi'er, the maid beside the eldest lady, kicked open the door of the house, took the lead in breaking in, glanced at the woman who was covered by the quilt high above her head, and turned back to the eldest lady and said, "Master, second lady, she ...... She should be under the covers. β
The eldest lady was full of joy, like the expression that a soldier should have when he finally won victory after fighting for a long time. Shangguan Jingmei beside her smiled even more wickedly and insidiously, "Mother, this little cheap hoof, is finally on the road!" β
"Isn't it? Coincidentally, they also went on the road on the same day as the disgusting Baili Lone Yan, who deserves to be close cousins, and even die together! The eldest lady tugged at the corners of her mouth, and her mouth was full of vicious words.
Shangguan Jingmei heard her mother mention Baili Guyan, her eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, not daring to say more.
The eldest lady raised her face and smiled at Gu's mother: "Gu's mother, you did a good job this time, as for the silver taels this time, I will give it to you after she is buried." β
Gu's mother was shocked on her back, she obviously said that she would pay the money after the good thing was done, but now she has to push it until the second lady is buried, and she really wants to find her as a substitute for the dead ghost. She glanced at the person on the bed, bit her lip, and tried to maintain a smile, "Thank you, big lady." β
After about a cup of tea, the maid Mi'er beside the eldest lady lowered her voice and said, "Master, the master is back, just outside the door." β
When the eldest lady heard this, she pulled the corners of her lips and snorted coldly, and slowly walked to the edge of the bed, and then her face, which was originally dancing with her eyebrows, instantly became gloomy, and she cried with a sad face: "Jingwan, what's wrong with you?" Why can't you figure it out, why did you kill yourself by taking poison? You're not in good health, but none of us think it's a dragβ"
Baili Guyan lay quietly, listening to her crying for a while, her mouth was full of motherly care, which was a few points higher than the acting skills of the people who sang in front of the stage.
"Auntie knows that you are sick and may be infected to others, but you don't have to torture yourself like this, the whole Xiangfu doesn't care, why are you so stupid......"
With a bang, the wooden gate was knocked open from the outside, and the white-haired old lady hurried to the scene and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with Jingwan?" β
