The Wife of the Family (12)
In the past few days, the sun is scorching, a group of people are coming to the lotus pond, in the middle is a red-topped sedan chair, bumpy and upside down, the queue is neat with a guard of honor screen. When Aunt He saw this group of people coming, she was so frightened that she hurriedly threw down the fish food in her hand and ran to the main house to report the news. The beauty in the house was inspecting Yunxi's achievements in the past two days, and when she saw Aunt He rushing in, she didn't look up, and Aunt He stood in front of the door with sweat dripping
"Madam, no, a large group of people are coming to our lotus pond."
Green Lotus frowned, Yunxi also stopped playing, and the beauty looked up at her, and handed a brocade to Aunt He
"Sweat, don't panic, there's a guest here, you don't have to make dinner today, go down and rest"
Aunt He didn't dare to sweat with a white handkerchief, "Alas, then I'll go down, madam" The letter was brought, she couldn't care about so many things, and the immortals fought and mortals suffered. The beauty turned her head sideways to signal Yunxi to continue, the green lotus closed the door, and after a while, she heard a knock on the door in front of the courtyard, and the beauty closed her eyes and was silent, until the end of the rhyme and the song, the knocking at the door stopped for a long time, and the beauty opened her eyes and glanced at "I'll talk about your problem later" and then signaled to the green lotus to open the door
In the house, Yunxi vaguely heard the green lotus question, and then a group of people walked into this small courtyard, a small sedan chair stood in the courtyard, and a person came to the house, only to see a woman standing in front of the door
The woman wore a red gold drape, dressed in a dark green and red brocade dress, dressed in a serious and beautiful temperament, she stepped in and did not salute the master first, but stood in front of the door and looked at the house, Yunxi thought to herself where this is a nobleman, and the beauty lazily tasted tea and did not seem to notice.
The woman looked at it for a while before she walked in and sat opposite the beauty without saying a word, and someone behind her handed a jade fan, and her orchid fingers held it and gently fanned the beauty
"My sister has been bitter all these years, and my sister is very heartbroken to look at" The beauty looked at her, "If a person drinks water and knows it, I am calm and happy in my heart, and no matter how luxurious my life is, it can't compare to this tranquility" I was a little surprised to see the beauty and the woman know Yunxi, and I have never heard of it.
The woman held the towel and sweated and chuckled, "What my sister said is, you always have something to envy me, but it's a pity that this tranquility is going to be broken" At this time, the beauty divided a bowl of tea and handed it to the woman, and the two held the tea bowl and looked at each other and smiled, all of this is in plain words, Yunxi can't understand it, hey!
After a while, the woman spoke again, "My sister is always so open-minded, so that she can keep her heart and play the moving music in this world, and my sister is ashamed." "Is this a fellow traveler? The beauty smiled lightly, "Everyone has their own strengths, you have eight exquisite thoughts, and you are indispensable to the palace banquet, otherwise it will be tasteless" While finishing speaking, she was fond of tea bowls, and the woman's face was as usual, and there was more smile in her eyes, "Then in the future, our sisters will advance and retreat together, complement each other, respect each other." Going around and around, we're still tied together. ”
The woman also took a sip of tea, and the beauty raised her head and her eyes were a little obscure, "Yes, the fate is determined by heaven, and everything is not up to people" The words were in a fog, and the two looked at each other and sat for a long time before the woman patted the hem of her clothes
"Okay, the days of our sisters are still ahead, it's time to get down to business, sister lead the way"
The beauty glanced at her, "Okay, I may not have gone out for a long time, you accompany me to go shopping" The woman actually stood up and bent her knees slightly, "Yes, my sister must accompany me" The beauty went down to change clothes in the room with the help of the green lotus, and the woman was waiting for her outside the courtyard, and when she was about to go out, the beauty glanced at Yunxi and glanced at "Keep up" Yunxi hurriedly followed, this is the rhythm of the move.
Could it be that this is foreign aid invited by the beauty? Yunxi looked secretly, and the woman seemed to be unaware of helping the beauty out of the lotus pond step by step, what was the mood of a woman who had been locked up in the lotus pond for more than ten years out of the lotus pond? Yunxi didn't know, but felt that the beauty was relieved.
A group of people advanced towards the compound, and Mrs. Xiang'an may have received the news earlier, and sent a servant halfway through, and this person turned around and looked left and right, but the woman and the beauty never changed.
Entering the courtyard, there are many slaves standing in the courtyard of Mrs. Xiang'an, there is a small bridge in front of a big lotus pond, and the slaves lead everyone from the corridor to pass, and the courtyard is in front of the lotus pond seven or eight points. Walking into the hall, the people brought by the woman did not follow, only the beauty and the woman were invited to sit down, and Yunxi could only stand next to the beauty, and the green lotus stood behind.
After a long time, Mrs. Xiang'an came late, she came out of the cabinet, dressed in purple and brown clothes, wearing jade to wipe her forehead, but she was in her twenties, dressed old-fashioned, maybe she thought that this would have the demeanor of a clan mother. I saw her being supported by her subordinates, holding her head high and touching the jade in her ears, stepping over step by step with a solemn look, but under the plain expressions of the woman and the beauty, she was a little showy.
Mrs. Xiang'an sat down and only glanced at the beauty out of the corner of her eye, but the servant next to her opened her mouth
"The second lady hasn't gone out for a long time, how did she think of coming to Mrs. Xiang'an's courtyard to meet today, but what is the happy event?"
It is disrespectful for a slave to speak before his master, and with such a tone, the beauty and the woman do not speak, and the slave wants to speak and the green lotus reprimands
"The masters haven't opened their mouths yet, where the crows are calling," he rolled his eyes
The servant looked at Mrs. Xiang'an, Mrs. Xiang'an chuckled and said, "Second lady is good rules" or the same sharp voice, Li Shilang ranked second, she shouted that the second lady was deliberately looking like a beauty was one level lower than her, the beauty looked up at her, her eyes were bright, and Mrs. Xiang'an couldn't help but smile when she saw that her heart was boiling
"What do you mean by this, Second Madam, did you bring someone to my courtyard to look for trouble?"
Yun Xi shook her head in her heart, this Mrs. Xiang'an really couldn't hold her breath, and she still couldn't help it when she was dressed like a girl in her twenties. Mrs. Xiang'an held back the smoldering fire, but the woman next to the beauty smiled
"Mrs. Xiang'an, don't be impatient, when Lord Li and Mrs. Li come, we will talk about it."
After speaking, he didn't care about her, and discussed the music with the beauty as if no one was around, and was despised by Mrs. Xiang'an, who was angry enough, glanced at it resentfully, and went down to the servant next to him. The servant came back after a while, and was still followed by people, and saw an old Ou coming in with a golden silk nanmu cane.
The top of the cane is inlaid with golden lotus with orchid deep ruby, which is neither vulgar nor elegant, the old woman is casual, followed by four or five girls with flowers and bones, she strolls in and sees the beauty sitting next to her, and suddenly looks at her like a needle
"Whoever let you out, so bold"
The eyes are round and the wrinkles are stacked, it is Li Shilang's mother. Seeing this, the corners of Mrs. Xiang'an's mouth hooked, and she hurriedly greeted her
"Mother, you're here. Sit down, the second lady came out somehow, brought a group of people to my courtyard, I asked her and didn't answer me, only said that I would wait for my husband to come, maybe I was not qualified to ask her, so I had to invite your mother to ask what was going on."
Li Zhang's was furious when she heard this, what she was most afraid of was that this fox was trying to seduce her son, thinking that she had spent a lot of effort to drive her to the lotus pond, and walked over and pointed at the beauty
"You shameless woman, you did such a sorry thing back then, and you still have the face to come out, you don't pray for blessings in the lotus pond, you want to force your son to divorce you."
When Mrs. Xiang'an heard this, she hurriedly said, "Mother, don't be angry, you can't convict yourself if you make a mistake, wait for your husband to come back, your husband is the most filial, and I don't want you to be angry for unrelated people."
These words are both persuasion and reminder, if she is embarrassed now, Li Shilang may not be unhappy when he comes back, so it is better to wait for Li Shangshu to come back. was pointed out that the beauty only stared at her and did not salute, Mrs. Li naturally knew this truth and snorted, and was helped to the upper seat.
Now it's painless and careless, and in the end, it's just a copy of the female ring and thinks about it behind closed doors, and this fox has always been the tip of his heart, maybe he will pity her later, but Mrs. Xiang'an's hateful teeth in her heart are itchy but very well-behaved.
The old woman glanced at the beauty again before walking to Mrs. Xiang'an on crutches and sitting down
"When will Squiro-sama come back?"
Squeezed Mrs. Xiang'an aside and stood as if she didn't notice it at all, Mrs. Xiang'an was not unhappy but stood obediently and replied
"I've invited someone to invite me, it should be soon, you can drink some almond juice and pastries at my place, just come to me to sit and drink afternoon tea."
The old woman's eyes narrowed slightly, and Mrs. Xiang'an was busy making people set up food, she has always been particular about eating, and she can make a little flavor.
So a group of people saw the old woman sitting in a high position and eating fragrantly, Mrs. Xiang'an was serving with a teacup next to her, and she didn't even have a bite of tea soup in front of the beauty, Yunxi looked down at the two of them or discussed the music as usual, and gradually their attention was also attracted to the past, and they were so hungry that they forgot about it, and the two were talking about which node of an ancient chapter should pause for a few beats to show the heavy rhyme, Li Shilang came in, he strode in with his cronies, he was wearing a red official robe, stepping on thick-soled official boots and wearing a black gauze brocade hat with a solemn expression, obviously coming directly from the office, I have to say that Li Shilang is still a filial old woman, who can leave his official duties and rush home with a word, and his elegant appearance with dark eyes looks quite official
With his sleeves swinging, he first saluted the old woman and then nodded to Mrs. Xiang'an, as soon as he stood up, the atmosphere of the whole room became serious, and Li Shilang deserved to climb up from the bottom, and he should have the momentum.
He didn't squint, sat down under the old woman, looked up at the beauty, and then looked at Li Zhang, "Mother, hurriedly called me over, I don't know what to do?" With questions in his respect, Xu had someone to support him, Li Zhang's was full of confidence, put down the teacup and patted the wooden chair to complain
"Look at this slut, she quietly walked out of the lotus pond alone, and didn't take your wife and me seriously, you must give me an explanation for this matter. When is the drag of this day and two days a head?"
Li Zhangshi was out of breath after speaking, and he didn't know how angry he thought she was, and Mrs. Xiang'an put the teacup and spoke
"Husband, what are you dissatisfied with all these years of my family, why did the second lady force me to come to my yard today to ask the teacher?"
looked at Li Shilang with uneasy eyes, Li Shilang raised his eyebrows after listening, and saw that the beauty lowered her head and ignored him, thinking that she had caused Yunxi to come out of the lotus pond, so she swept Yunxi with a stern look in his eyes
"Yuanbao, but what did you say that made your mother angry?"
Yunxi was stunned at first when he was named, he didn't think that he would bear the brunt, so he had to stand up and face a room, and his eyes were quite steady, and he was blessed, "Lord Shilang, your words are serious, I didn't say anything to my mother, but I just follow my mother's opinion for some things." ”
After saying that, he bowed his head obediently, Li Shangshu's face was a little dark, and she didn't listen to her own advice, Yunxi didn't even shout in front of so many people, "How can you bother your mother about everything, it seems that your mother can't control you" He put on the posture of an elder, if it was an ordinary child, he would be afraid. The beauty smiled faintly, he suddenly felt that he was a little stupid and unhappy, after being an official for all these years, which woman in the family did not hold him, and his eyebrows sank
"Today, I will not punish you for disturbing your mother when you are young, but your words and deeds as the eldest daughter are really inappropriate, so you will come out of the lotus pond in the future and raise yourself under Mrs. Xiang'an."
··· With a slight sigh in her tone, Mrs. Xiang'an pinched the towel when she heard the words 'eldest daughter', and the old woman didn't do it, isn't this equivalent to no punishment, she hit the ground with crutches
"No, this slut doesn't care about the elders' words today. I went out of the lotus pond without permission, and I have committed seven disrespectful elders, and I should take a vacation."
Mrs. Xiang'an wiped her tears when she heard this, "Husband, I am a wife, and others in my yard can break into it if they want, what have I become?"
Mrs. Xiang'an is a little clever, not forced, only soft. Neither of them would give up on this matter, Li Shangshu looked at the beauty inexplicably, but the beauty chuckled and didn't look at him. Li Shangshu's maintenance is a little strange, it seems that he doesn't plan to blindly maintain and maintain it, and this family is suspected of making trouble.
I saw him sit back, scrubbing his fingers, "What is the mother going to do?" Hearing this, Li Zhangshi naturally said mercilessly, and said that he should rest, and he tossed it seriously, and Li Shangshu stopped talking. A room of people sat quietly, Yunxi felt a little funny, and didn't give the beauty a chance to speak, and the family quarreled.
Suddenly, Li Shangshu spoke, "Since this is the case, let's invite the elders of the clan to come over and discuss it together" Yunxi was slightly surprised, and the beauty was as expected, Li Zhang's family was naturally satisfied and asked people to invite the elders of various branches, and did not forget to glare at the beauty angrily, the patriarch needs enough reasons to divorce his wife, and it is rare to seize such an opportunity, so he naturally has to make a big fuss. Mrs. Xiang'an looked surprised, and beckoned a group of servants to hurry to clean up the main hall of the reception, but Li Shangshu looked at the beauty deeply, the beauty didn't say a word or look at him from beginning to end, Yunxi was a little confused, and said that he would take a break, what about the affection of the year?
And everyone didn't sit for long, and the elders of all ethnic groups came, and no one was absent. sat down one after another according to the generations, it stands to reason that he really wants to divorce his wife in front of the ancestral hall, but Li Shangshu is arranged here, which is very strange.
