Chapter 15: The Return of the Maiden (2)
There was a faint coolness from the brocade on her shoulder, and Zhao's heart was about to bleed, but she didn't make any movement, she just patted her daughter's back gently, one by one.
Just like when she was a child, she soothed her emotional daughter. She really wanted to go back to that time, when Nan'anhou Mansion did not have the glory it has today, and at that time, it was the time when the two of them were grinding their ears and temples. At that time, this backyard was her world, and Nan Anhou belonged to her alone.
After crying for a while, An Sanniang slowly raised her head, and looked at Zhao with a pair of red and swollen eyes, "Mother, I know what to do?" Seeing the resolute-willed An Sanniang, Zhao sighed slightly, she hoped that Sanniang could grow up as soon as possible.
Just like when she came, An Sanniang also left in a hurry when she left.
Zhao's day is also not idle, Nan's mother picked out four second-class maids, this time Jinlan Courtyard is missing four second-class maids, to quickly choose a few third-class maids to come up to the second-class maids, and arrange someone to clean up Hanshuang Courtyard and Ningxue Courtyard.
And in addition to this, the Zhao family also had to bring two of the second-class maids over to Mrs. Tai for a look, and she could set off to pick up people if she agreed.
After a big lap, Zhao was so tired that he was sweating profusely and panting.
There are too many things today, and the Zhao family sent people to various courtyards to spread the word, so as to avoid the aunts and concubines from asking for peace. She finally had time to sit down for lunch, and in the afternoon she was going to see her mother-in-law everywhere.
is in charge of the entire Nan'an Hou Mansion, although Mrs. Tai doesn't care about things on the surface, but the Zhao family knows that Mrs. Tai is clear about these things about herself.
Therefore, the Zhao family also disdains to do anything about these things, anyway, sooner or later it will be given to her son.
"You say, is this one that Mrs. Tai picked up the same as her mother, bewitching." Nan's mother asked quietly, it was An's mother who went in at that time, presumably An's mother knew more.
"Anan, let's just wait and see what happens." An's mother read a little book with her wife when she was young, and she has a relatively calm temperament, which is also reasonable, and the master's affairs should not have been talked about by them.
"Alas, look at me, I'm all confused." Nan's mother is actually also concerned about chaos, isn't it just to add two concubines, according to An's mother's idea, no matter how many come, it can't shake the position of the lady, so it doesn't matter.
After a month, the four daughters of the concubine came back, and the four daughters in Xuzhou, just reached the age of the flower and bones, and the Zhao family endured great sorrow and went to drink the cup of tea.
Fortunately, there was good news from An Sanniang's side, and the Li family was sent to Xiao Zhuangzi. This may be the biggest good news this year, Zhao's head is down, and his exhausted appearance makes Nan's mother and An's mother very worried.
Yangchun went down to Yangzhou in March, and heard that the seventh daughter grew up in Yangzhou, and the Zhao family had no time to care about the others, and now she listened to Mrs. Tai's arrangement with Nan'an.
The spring breeze is blowing, the tender willows are hanging low, the lake is sparkling, and the eyes are bright and vibrant.
Passing by the alley, walking through the shadow wall, passing through the semicircular door, a path leads to the backyard. The small flowers in the two places, pink and tender, show a bright face, face pampered, and strive to bloom.
An Liuniang took a deep breath, it turned out that this was the air in the courtyard of the deep house.
"Girl, please go this way." Yuping took someone to wait at the gate for the legendary fourth girl, the sixth girl.
A pointed chin, a beautiful face, big watery eyes, and white and translucent skin. The body is bumpy and convex, and when you get out of the car, everything in the world seems to have lost its luster.
Looking at Yuping with a smile, An Die's shock in the eyes of the people standing at the second gate to pick her up was clear at a glance, but she still stood calmly.
After being stunned for a while, Yuping took the lead in coming back to his senses and gave a standard blessing to An Die, "Girl, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. are waiting for you in Rong'an Hall, please come with me." After Yuping finished speaking, he led the way in front of An Liuniang's group.
Entering the Hou Mansion, Mother Liu couldn't help but raise her head and look around, fifteen years after that day, she saw the still golden Hou Mansion, even more so before. His eyes were slightly red, and his excitement was about to overflow.
However, at this moment, Liu's mother tried her best to suppress her feelings. Because no matter what, she went out with a mission, and when she came back, Mrs. Tai would definitely not treat her lightly.
So for so many years, Liu's mother told herself that she must bring the six girls well. She knows that only if the girl is good, she can follow well, the girl is the bargaining chip in her hand, she has pressed for fifteen years for the future.
"Grandmother is well, mother is well." A standard blessing with a slight smile on his face.
Seeing such a magnificent Hou Mansion for the first time, An Liuniang's eyes did not fluctuate at all, but her faintly trembling hands still revealed her mood at the moment.
Taking in all the small movements of Andie, Mrs. Tai had a kind smile on her face.
On the round face, the years have left traces, and the kind Mrs. Tai sits on the rosewood with auspicious clouds, and the circle of carving is simply beautiful.
Mrs. Tai and Zhao observed An Die's salute as soon as she entered the door, and Mrs. Tai raised her hand slightly, "Hurry up." This standard dress, as well as proper etiquette, made Mrs. Tai nod slightly.
It can be seen that Liu's mother is attentive, but fortunately, the carving is just right, and all kinds of etiquette and standing postures seem to be done in one go, without that feeling of being constrained.
"What books can Liu Niang usually read?" When she was planning to bring people back, Mrs. Tai had already investigated everything that had happened to Liuniang in the past fifteen years.
Even the poetry and calligraphy master and the female red master that Liu's mother invited to Liuniang knew that because there were really no girls of the right age in the Hou Mansion, if there were, Mrs. Tai didn't think about it anymore.
"Back to my grandmother, on weekdays, the master taught the four female books and practiced calligraphy, and the female red granddaughter liked it more." After speaking, Liuniang took the tray from Liu's mother and presented the embroidery she had prepared for the elders.
The purple-red golden silk peony tourmaline ruby wipe the forehead, the milky white pearls the size of millet grains, go around in a thin circle, the atmosphere is noble and noble, the thing is not very valuable, but it is better than the heart.
Mother Xu took a step forward, "Thank you, Sixth Girl." Then it was sent to Mrs. Tai, who smiled and nodded, "This embroidery is really good." ”
And to Zhao is a sachet, red satin fine silk, cool and smooth satin, embroidered with graceful and luxurious plum, plum is not afraid of the cold, the branch magpie is spring.
