Chapter 85: Marriage Proposal (1)
Mrs. Chang Ningbo's house was also brightly lit.
Second Mrs. Xue came to visit suddenly, especially when she asked Miss Fourth to write a riddle of poetry, and there was that subtle expression on her face after seeing Miss Four's words......
As long as she thought about it, the eldest lady couldn't sit still, and instructed Mother Feng, who was beside her, to call the fourth lady's personal maid Qingqiong over and ask.
Who knew that Qingqiong came out of the old lady's side, and he was not afraid of Mother Feng at all, so he refused to say anything no matter how he asked.
When the eldest lady heard this result, she was immediately furious, and asked Feng's mother to call Qingqiong to the house, and she questioned herself.
Qingqiong was a little bold at first, and listened to the eldest lady ask, "In the Hou Mansion, is there anything to hide from me?" ”
That Qingqiong immediately said bluntly: "How can anyone dare to hide something from Madame, and it is in someone else's house, and Miss is just following Madame's surroundings, what else can she do." ”
Hearing these words in the ears of the eldest lady, it seemed to be a little frivolous, and the eldest lady couldn't help but be angry, and slapped her palm on the table, "I read that you came out of Mrs. Tai's side, and you were elevated in everything, but you were arrogant, and you didn't want to think about your identity, but you were just a maid, you were such a bully, even if I let Ya Po lead you away immediately, Mrs. Tai would still protect you?" ”
Hearing this, Qing Qiong knelt down on his knees, "Madam, madam, the slave doesn't mean anything else, and she doesn't dare to do anything to bully the master, she just replies truthfully." ”
The eldest lady sneered, "The Xue family has come to the door, and they still refuse to say it." Turning his head and calling Mother Feng, "I'll find a tooth woman early tomorrow morning, we can't afford such a girl in our house." ”
Qingqiong hurriedly kowtowed, "Beg Mrs. to spare the slave maid, slave maid ......"
The eldest lady looked at Qingqiong's appearance, if it weren't for the current heat, this girl would not have said it honestly, so she didn't listen to what she said, and stood up.
Qing Qiong saw that the eldest lady got up to leave, so she was even more anxious, and hurriedly walked a few steps, "Madam, the young lady really didn't do anything." ”
The eldest lady didn't even look at her, Qingqiong was afraid that she would really be sold, so she hurriedly said: "Miss just left a poem for a moment of curiosity." ”
When the eldest lady heard the poem, her face changed in an instant. Raised his foot and kicked on Qingqiong's shoulder, "What the hell is going on, don't tell me in detail." ”
The green dome was kicked and staggered, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain, and he came back and said: "Miss is passing by Hou Ye's study, and when she saw half a poem on the table, she picked up the pen and continued the back." ”
It turned out to be like this, no wonder Second Mrs. Xue had such an action, it turned out to be for the handwriting. Thinking of this, the eldest lady trembled, and it took a long time to relieve her breath and tell Mother Feng, "Go to the fourth lady's room." ”
Qing Qiong also stood up tremblingly and followed.
The fourth lady was combing her long hair, and when she saw her mother coming, she stood up and greeted her with a smile, saw her mother's gloomy face, and then looked at Qingqiong with her neck shrunk on the side, and immediately understood a little in her heart, and asked nonchalantly, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
Her daughter is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and she is also familiar with Wenhan, she originally liked it very much, who knew that she would do such a thing. The eldest lady suppressed the anger in her heart, didn't dare to speak out, and asked Feng's mother to go out and send the maids away, and then questioned her daughter Qingqiong's words were the truth.
When the fourth lady heard this, she raised her eyebrows, "In this case, if I don't fight for it, is it difficult for others to come out on top?" ”
The eldest lady was angry that she was ignorant, "Do you know that if this thing gets out, your reputation will be over, and who will marry you into the door?" ”
The fourth lady was stunned, "Where do I need others to marry me, as long as I marry into the Xue family, who will mention this matter, besides, I haven't written anything, what if it's not a love poem, when we were in Jinhua Mansion, we didn't often fill in poems and play." ”
The eldest lady said: "How can it be the same, they are all brothers and sisters in the clan." "My daughter was raised in front of Mrs. Tai, but she was spoiled and spoiled, resulting in this kind of temper.
When the fourth lady heard these words, the smug look just now was gone, "Even if I was wrong." Isn't it confirmed that the Xue family has come today? It must be Hou Ye who asked, and ...... when the time comes."
The eldest lady was furious and sneered, "Don't think that you can marry the Hou Ye, marry the Xue family, even if you marry the Xue family, it may not be the Hou Ye." ”
The fourth young lady's face froze at this time, "What does Mother mean by this?" ”
The eldest lady said: "If it is the Hou Ye who wants to confirm, why not let Mrs. Xue come?" Is it because Mrs. Xue is coming here? Do you know that this is a matter of the faces of the two families, where can you fake others? If you marry Hou Ye in the future, how can the big house let the second room know about this kind of thing? Besides, how do you know that it is Hou Ye's study? ”
The fourth lady said: "It was the maid of the Hou Mansion who said that the two study rooms belong to the Hou Ye and the Third Master Xue." Hou Ye is naturally the big one, and the furnishings inside are much better than the one next to him. There is also the same font on the poem as that of Wing Chun. ”
The eldest lady was so angry that her hands trembled, "The big study must be Hou Ye's?" Old Madam Xue likes that kind of font, so others in the Xue family won't please the old lady to practice? Why are you so confused. ”
The fourth lady's whole body softened, "What if I make a mistake?" ”
The eldest lady said: "So far, you can only make mistakes, as long as you can keep your reputation." Second Mrs. Xue intends to marry you for Third Master Xue. ”
The fourth lady's face changed drastically: "I don't marry, I want to go back to Jinhua Mansion." ”
The eldest lady said: "Since you dare to do that kind of thing, you should think of the possible results." ”
The fourth lady sat on the small pestle as if she had fallen apart
Early in the morning, Jinxiu went to the second lady's house to look for Jade, and asked Jade for the gown, as well as the Confucian jacket worn with the gown.
Handing over the clothes to Rong Hua, Jinxiu said with a smile: "Jade was unwilling, but later the second lady spoke, and Jade reluctantly took out the clothes." The second lady also said that she would ask Jade to come over to help in a while. ”
Yaohua has always been kind, and she will try her best to meet the requirements of others, otherwise where will her good reputation come from, and it will just be a set of clothes.
This dress is exquisitely made, I don't know how much work it took, the taste in Jade's heart can be imagined, and I will definitely find an opportunity to vent after a while.
Rong Hua tried on the clothes, the sleeves of the Confucian jacket were slightly shorter, and Jinxiu said, "Is this okay?" ”
Rong Hua smiled and nodded, this is better.
After getting dressed, Rong Hua took Jinxiu first, and instructed Mu Hibiscus, "Jade will come in a while......"
Hibiscus nodded, "The slave understands. ”
When I arrived at the eldest lady's room to ask for peace, the eldest lady really let Rong Hua stay, "Last time, the old lady praised you for copying well, and now I may have a wish, you can also help me copy a few copies." ”
Rong Hua wants to take it away.
The eldest lady smiled: "Just copy it here!" ”
Rong Hua nodded and sat down, and Jinxiu was also busy grinding ink.
Rong Hua had just copied a few pieces of paper when he heard someone outside: "A Mrs. Zhang is here." After a while, the eldest lady really led people into the house, Rong Hua sat in the side room and didn't come out, Jinxiu quietly opened the curtain and looked, only to see a woman in her forties wearing a camel-colored gown and a courteous smile into the house, followed by a man in a blue robe, the man looked left and right after entering the house, and his pointed chin was slightly raised. Seeing the man coming, Jinxiu hurriedly lowered the curtain.
Rong Hua's copy was also slightly looser.
After only hearing a few words that didn't matter from the outside, the eldest lady asked her subordinates to take Gu Gongzi outside.
Rong Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
In case Mrs. Da let her meet this Gu Gongzi directly, she will have to take a lot of trouble to arrange today.
Rong Hua put down the pen, it should be to call her out.
As soon as the pen was put away, Chen's mother came in and said, "Eighth Miss, the eldest lady asked Miss to go outside." ”
Rong Hua smiled slightly and nodded at Chen's mother, "This is coming." Standing up, Shi Shiran walked out.
Jinxiu followed behind, realizing that her palms were already sweaty.
Shan said that Gu Ying wanted to go to the pavilion not far in front to sit, who knew that he came out of the house, and when he walked not far away, he heard a maid gossiping, he usually liked to eavesdrop on these, and today he finally entered the inner house of Tao Mansion, so he naturally refused to let go, and found an excuse to send the next person to pour him tea, and he quietly walked over to listen.
I only heard two maids talking about the young lady in the house.
One of them said: "Miss Eight has beautiful clothes today, I don't know which one made them." but they have compared your needle and thread. ”
The other said coldly: "It's your clumsiness, that's my needlework, which was originally made for the second lady, but now it's just used by her to wear it." In his words, he looked down on Miss Eight.
The one smiled and said, "No wonder, what's wrong with me, how can Miss Eight wear clothes so much better than before." ”
The other said: "That's nature, where is there a needle like mine in the outer house." ”
After Gu Ying heard this, her chest was filled with anger, and the Tao family clearly said that although the eighth lady was raised by the foreign mansion, it was no worse than the mansion.
Recently, it has indeed been fashionable to keep his concubine outside the house, and according to the Tao family, the other ladies have already made a marriage, so he reluctantly agreed.
I didn't expect to hear that now. These eight young ladies are so good-looking. What is the use of such a thing, Gu Ying thought like this, and simply strode into the house with the anger in his chest.
Rong Hua was sitting on the chair talking to the woman, only to feel that the woman's gaze fell on her presumptuously, especially on her face and waist several times back and forth, her mouth opened and smiled with an indescribable vulgarity, I don't know if it was the matchmaker that Gu Gongzi found from the market.
The woman was about to speak again, when she saw someone break in.
The eldest lady was startled and immediately stood up, seeing that it was Gu Ying, she could only suppress her anger, "Gu Gongzi came back so soon." "Still complaining that he doesn't know how to be polite.
After Gu Ying entered the house, she hurriedly glanced at Miss Taofu's face, and then landed on Miss Taofu's clothes, the clothes worn by Miss Eight looked really out of place carefully, especially the sleeves were still a little short, what does Taofu mean? After only thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood that Tao Fu was trying to deal with him by plating this mud bodhisattva with a layer of fake gold.
A series of ......
Who is Gu Ying going to marry? hey
