Chapter 9
Ah Yan raised his face slightly, swallowing the moistness that was forced into his eyes.
She still remembered that later, the fourth sister who was the imperial concubine summoned her into the palace, looked down at her, and said lightly that the emperor looked at his own face and intended to reuse Gu Song as the imperial businessman, and asked him to prepare well.
At that time, Ayan lowered his head and thanked him.
When he knelt, he threw all the pride of the past thirty years under his feet.
Yes, the Ayan of the previous life was proud, arrogant, and unsightly.
It's also shallow.
After thanksgiving, she raised her head, and what caught her eyes was the smile of the fourth sister.
As the fourth sister of the imperial concubine, she didn't need to say anything, just stood tall, with the posture of a victor, with a faint smile, and looked at the sister who knelt down under her seat with pity. At that time, the fifth sister on the side looked at herself with disdain, raised her eyebrows and said:
"In the future, you always have to be angry, don't bother the fourth sister if you have nothing to do. ”
===
The red felt curtain was lifted, and Xi Qing came over and said with a smile:
"The young grandmother has already come to urge, and the soft sedan chair is at the door, saying that it is going to pass. ”
In a word, pulling Ah Yan back from her past thoughts, she hurriedly burst out laughing and said to her mother:
"Mother, let's go quickly. ”
Gu Song thought of the current events, and was also a little sullen, so he poked the golden silk cake with a chopstick, and said:
"Be careful on the road, if you come back late, send a small servant back, and I will naturally ride a horse to pick you up. ”
The third lady poked his head:
"You are out of tune, it is serious to go to school to study as a good student, where do you dare to rely on you to pick it up!"
At that moment, Ayan followed the third lady out of the hanging flower gate, and saw that there were already two soft sedan chairs waiting here, the sedan chair was very small, it was dedicated to the ladies and ladies in the inner courtyard, and each sedan chair was carried by four stout servants.
Ayan and the third wife each got on, the soft sedan chair got up, out of the Rongxiang Garden where the third wife lived, first went to the Ci'en Garden where the ancestors lived, entered the weeping flower gate, passed through the hall, and bypassed a large screen of eight spliced landscape characters Huanghuali, several people passed through the three halls, and then came to the large courtyard of the main house.
At this time, there are a few soft sedan chairs parked in the yard, and the girls and grandmothers who want to go out are clustered in the yard, or there to watch the cats and dogs fight, or watch the various flowers and plants placed on the verandah through the mountains on the side, as well as magpies and parrots and other birds, one by one dyed colorful, very festive.
The ancestors loved elegance, and there were no less flowers and birds.
Seeing this, Ah Yan knew that it was late, so he hurriedly followed the third wife in, but saw that several girls and grandmothers were there, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked the ancestor for peace.
The ancestor sat on the soft couch, half leaning on a gold silk brocade pillow, half covered with a big red Fushou brocade felt, but the legs and feet were exposed, a little maid wearing an apricot red jacket held a beauty in her hand to help the ancestor beat her legs, and the green peach stood there with a rosewood lacquer tray.
Squinting at Ah Yan and the third wife, he looked at their clothes, but he didn't like it, and immediately stretched out his hand, signaled the four girls to approach, groped her hair bun, and said:
"When I went to King Ning's Mansion, it was no better than our family, but I couldn't be like a small family, and my eyes were short-sighted. We are the high gate of the fourth generation, and you are all precious young ladies, so you must keep this in mind. ”
The four girls were slightly blessed and nodded with a smile:
"Ah Ning must follow the instructions of the ancestors. ”
Nodding with satisfaction, the old lady looked up at the second girl, and when she saw the beaded hairpin on her head, she frowned without a trace:
"Where did this thing come from?"
hurriedly stepped forward to bless her, and the second girl smiled and said:
"Because my hairpin with flowers has been repaired in the past few days, and I don't have any good jewelry when I go out, so I borrowed this from Ayan. ”
When the fifth girl heard this, she looked at the fourth girl in surprise, and then turned her face and glanced at the third girl.
The old lady glanced at Ah Yan and the third lady on the side, and couldn't say that she liked it or liked it, so she nodded: "Go ahead." ”
After saying that, he closed his eyes, and he didn't want to pay attention to people anymore.
At this time, I saw the eldest young grandmother come in, it turned out that she had gone to personally order the carriage and horses, and now she entered the house, and said with a smile:
"It's really refreshing to see these four girls in our family dressed up like a flower. If I had run into it somewhere else, I wouldn't have dared to recognize it. ”
After talking for a while, he went to rub Ah Yan affectionately, and then went to take the hands of the second and fourth girls.
The third lady hurriedly smiled and said:
"Grandma looks very good today. ”
The eyes of the eldest and young grandmothers swept over the third wife, but they were slightly surprised, but those surprises flashed very quickly, so she smiled and said:
"The third lady looks a lot younger today. ”
Everyone laughed and said goodbye to their ancestors, so they got on the soft sedan chair with the support of their respective maids.
The soft sedan car was bumpy, and after a short time, the three-layer instrument door came out, so they each got off the soft sedan car with the support of the maid, but saw that three luxurious eight-treasure pearl cuigai carriages were waiting here, and they had already put on the mule tamer.
Several girls and the eldest young grandmother and the third wife all got out of the car, because there were six people, so the third wife took the second girl and the third girl, and the eldest young grandmother took the fourth girl and the fifth girl. The five girls originally wanted to follow the young grandmother, but who knew that Aunt Guo, the biological mother of the five girls, pulled the five girls and asked her to have one with her. The fifth girl had no choice but to follow Aunt Guo.
After getting into the car, the carriage and horses drove out of the outer courtyard, went out through the corner gate, and went out into the street.
The third lady sat in the middle, holding Ah Yan in one hand and the second girl in the other, while Tingyu and Xiqing waited on the side.
The second girl had actually been a little apprehensive since just now, and when she saw that there were no outsiders around, she bit her lip and looked at the third wife and Ah Yan uneasily, and said, "I'm afraid that Ah Rong is going to make trouble for the third wife and the third sister." ”
In fact, Ayan mentioned this matter of borrowing pearls to the third wife, and he didn't take it to heart at the time, but when he looked at the ancestor today, he suddenly felt a little worried. At this time, the second girl spoke like this, and the third lady didn't know what to do.
It was Ah Yan, Yun smiled lightly, and said:
"What's the matter, the one who doesn't like you, no matter how careful you are, is also to blame at every turn, and you can't please it. ”
When the second girl heard this, she was stunned.
I knew that Ah Yan was right, but I couldn't help but sigh, no matter how poor Ah Yan was, there was still my brother and mother, and what about myself? The frail and sick second wife had her own son, where would she take care of herself. Who will make the decision for himself in the future? I have to fight hard and pay attention to a handsome and good family for myself.
In this carriage, when several people were talking, in another carriage, Aunt Guo saw that there was no one left and right, and cautiously asked her daughter the fifth girl.
"How did these two girls hook up with the third room well?"
Aunt Guo was originally just singing in the streets, but later she was brought back by the eldest master to be an aunt, and she was very vulgar when she spoke.
The fifth girl pouted and said unhappily: "Auntie, you ask me, but who am I going to ask!"
Aunt Guo knew that the five girls were still holding grudges about what had just happened, so she couldn't help poking the five girls' heads at the moment.
"You little hoof with no conscience, and you don't look at whose belly you came out of, why are you so bent on stammering with others now!
When the fifth girl heard this, two bubbles of tears hung in her aggrieved eyes.
"It's also your fault if you don't give a good face, originally I followed the fourth sister every day, and others looked like a good princess at first glance. If you are fine, you will talk about it, and now you are pulling me and you together, so that people can know that I am different from the fourth sister at a glance!"
Aunt Guo hated that iron could not become steel, and gritted her teeth.
"You heartless! You don't want to think about who I pulled you here for? How did I give birth to you heartless one. Don't you look at it, now that these two girls are climbing and the third room, why don't you know how to climb it? I didn't dare to go to the ancestor just now, but I heard the girls who went in to bring tea say, the pearl hairpin on the second girl's head, it was given by the third girl! Do you know how much that thing is worth, how many clothes can you get in for it? Why don't you have the second girl who is clever!"
The fifth girl became more and more unhappy, snorted and began to cry.
"You used to whisper in my ear every day, saying that you wanted me to please the eldest wife, the eldest young grandmother, and the fourth girl! I have always listened to you, but now why don't you have to dislike me for not winning over the third room? You don't know, the fourth sister has always disliked the third sister, the fourth sister doesn't like it, and I have trouble with the third sister! Could it be that you see that the third sister of the other family is rich, and you want me to please others?"
Aunt Guo saw her daughter crying, after all, she couldn't bear it, so she wiped her tears for her, and comforted her while wiping her tears.
"Don't cry, now it's not to say that you and the three girls are hot, but to see, what's going on, don't really let this country mansion fall, we are still stupid and don't know what's going on!"
The fifth girl sobbed, crying and stubbornly said:
"I don't care if this Guogong Mansion is ruined or not, anyway, Ah Yan is there, I am not good with her! In the past, the second sister and I both flattered the fourth sister, and the fourth sister has always liked me more. Now that the second sister has gone to find Ah Yan, I don't want to please her! It's just the daughter of a concubine, where is she nobler than me, is it possible that I really go up to the pole to please her!"
