Chapter 82: Twists and Turns (I)

The next day, the subordinates of the Xue Mansion were earlier than in the past, and Mrs. Xue went to the old lady's room even earlier, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard the laughter of the second Mrs. Xue, "Where did I get up earlier than my mother, I didn't sleep all night thinking about this." (Niu Wen ~ Net)"

Old Madam Xue smiled: "What? Are you still coming to threaten me to take you into the palace with you? ”

Second Mrs. Xue laughed again.

Mrs. Xue entered the house, the maids came up and saluted, Mrs. Xue sat on the brocade, the second lady was combing the old lady's hair, both of them were smiling, Mrs. Xue saw Mrs. Xue and said kindly: "Came so early?" Yesterday wasn't telling you not to get up so early. ”

Second Mrs. Xue turned her head to look at Mrs. Xue, "My mother is always afraid that my sister-in-law will be tired." ”

Old Madam Xue glared at Second Mrs. Xue from the mirror, "As far as you can speak, you know everything I think." Yesterday, your sister-in-law was naturally tired after a busy day. ”

Mrs. Xue stood aside and seemed to be an outsider, out of step with the situation.

Second Mrs. Xue smiled, "Sister-in-law, can you take a look at the hairstyle I combed for my mother?" ”

Mrs. Xue went over to see it, and the two of them waited for the old lady to put on her tiara and put on the dress of Mrs. Yipin, and then sent the old lady all the way to the warm sedan chair.

Before Mrs. Xue got into the sedan chair, she seemed to see that her eldest daughter-in-law had something to say, so she turned around and patted Mrs. Xue's hand, "I'll talk about it when I come back from the palace." ”

Mrs. Xue nodded, Mrs. Xue has the best relationship with the queen mother in the palace, and the queen mother is deeply liked by the queen mother, so she should be able to hear some news when she comes back this time.

Mrs. Xue thought for a while, and waited until the old lady's sedan chair disappeared from view, and then went back with the second wife.

……

Rong Hua asked the eldest lady to come back, and Mu Hibiscus was very unhappy when she entered the house. When Miss Ten Jinghua came, Mu Hibiscus was bringing soup to Rong Hua from the kitchen.

Jinghua rushed to Mu Hibiscus Nunu's mouth, Rong Hua smiled and nodded, the two maids around her were facing her, Mu Hibiscus had been busy since she heard her fall into the water last night, Zhang Luo, who had been busy with ginger soup and hot water to soak her feet, fell asleep in the middle of the night, Jinxiu and Mu Hibiscus both came to touch her forehead, for fear that she would catch a cold and get sick, but fortunately, her body has always been very good, and she only had a few chills last night, and her cheeks were a little feverish, and she woke up in the morning.

In the morning, I went to ask the eldest lady to say goodbye, and the eldest lady was busy asking Chen's mother to ask the deacon in the house to go out to purchase medicine for the second sister, and when she saw her coming, she just asked her lightly, "Are you feeling unwell, if you don't feel good, you should quickly ask Lang Zhong to come over." "It's just a formality, if you really care about her last night and don't ask?

Rong Hua didn't care about this, what she really couldn't let go of was the eyes of the eldest lady looking at her, there were some expressions she hadn't seen flashing, slight scrutiny and worry, and even a trace of pity.

Strange pity.

Before Rong Hua and Jinghua could speak, Chen's mother lifted the curtain and entered the house, Rong Hua and Jinghua immediately got up to greet them, and Chen's mother smiled all over her face, "Miss Ten is also there?" ”

Jinghua smiled: "I'll ask the eighth sister for embroidery," said Yang Yang's purse in his hand.

Mother Chen smiled kindly, "It's excellent for young ladies to learn this." After speaking, he went to look at Rong Hua, Rong Hua was wearing a lake-green rose flower gown, and he didn't apply any fat powder on his face but he was still bright and moving, standing aside and generous and well-behaved, such a temperament is not better than which young lady is out, who knows......

Rong Hua's eyes flickered slightly, and he stepped forward to let Chen's mother sit aside, her fan-long eyelashes drooping down, "What's the matter with Chen's mother?" ”

Mother Chen was stunned for a moment, and then coughed, "It's something to ask Miss." The first Xiao in the second lady's house was favored by the old lady Zhuang on the housekeeper of the mother-in-law's grandson, the Sun family came yesterday and married Chu Xiao, and the second lady's house was less powerful, the old lady and the wife remembered that the jade in the eighth lady's house was originally from the second miss's house, so they came to ask the eighth lady what she meant, can she ...... it"

Is it to let Jade return to Yaohua's side, she can't ask for it, but she deliberately hesitates on her face.

Rong Hua's hesitation made the jade who was eavesdropping outside so anxious that she only pulled her handkerchief, she was looking forward to going back to the second miss every day, she had been here for a long time, what if the eighth miss decided to marry her one day, what should she do?

Rong Hua pondered for a long time before nodding and said, "Since this is the case, let Jade follow her mother." ”

Chen's mother immediately bent her eyes, "I'll just say that Miss Eight is a good talker." Chen's mother likes to sit in Miss Eight's house for a while on weekdays, but today she is becoming more and more unable to sit still, Mu Hibiscus found Jade into the house, and Chen's mother got up, "Then I won't disturb Miss Eight." ”

Rong Hua got up and sent Chen's mother to the door of the house, Chen's mother walked to the yard, looked back at Rong Hua unusually, and looked at Rong Hua's gaze, Chen's mother showed a kind smile.

The smile was faintly on his face, and he didn't fake it in the slightest.

Rong Hua's body gradually stiffened.

Rong Hua returned to the house and asked Mu Hibiscus while doing needlework: "After we went to the Hou Mansion yesterday, did we have guests at home?" ”

Mu Hibiscus nodded, "It was the eldest lady of the second old lady's family who brought her sister-in-law and nephew over to kowtow to the old lady." ”

Jinghua also heard about it, "I also called the sixth sister over." ”

Sure enough, she thought that her grandmother wanted to find a family affair for Yanhua, which had nothing to do with her......

That's not the case.

Rong Hua remembered what happened last night, the person who stopped the carriage said that he was his father's subordinate, although he was also respectful to the eldest wife, but his words showed an arrogant arrogance, trapping them in the carriage, no matter what the eldest lady said, he had an attitude of being able to help me, like a scoundrel who took advantage of other people's shortcomings.

Could it be that Rong Hua's hand shook and the tip of the needle suddenly pierced his finger, and dripping red blood came out of his fingertips.

Jinghua hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand to check, "Eighth sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Rong Hua watched as the blood slowly seeped into the silk.

……

Chen's mother sent Jade into the second lady's room, and went to the eldest lady to talk back, "Miss Eight didn't say anything, so she let Jade follow me out, but the second lady's house was in a mess, and many things in the house were handled by Chu Xiao, and the other girls couldn't figure it out for a while." ”

The eldest lady said, "Yaohua didn't say anything? ”

Mother Chen took another step forward and said: "The second lady only said that Chu Xiao is not too young, and she shouldn't be delayed, she has thought about finding a good family for Chu Xiao before, but she is reluctant to do it for a while." ”

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, "How many older girls are there in the house?" When it's time to give someone away. "The old man of the province has an idea, fanning the flames on the side, stirring up the restlessness of the house.

Mother Chen just answered with her mouth, if you want to say that there are a lot of older maids in the house, don't talk about a few young ladies in front of her, and when the young lady gets married, they will naturally have a place to go, just say that Chunyao in the wife's room, Rui Qing in the old lady's room, are all old enough.

The eldest lady got up and walked to the warm pavilion, and said to Chen's mother as she walked, "Yaohua's affairs should also be prepared." ”

The eldest lady and Chen's mother were talking in the warm pavilion.

The mother-in-law on the second door of Taofu was squinting and napping, and someone from outside hurriedly woke her up, "Hurry up, hurry up and report inside, Second Mrs. Xue is here." ”

The mother-in-law slept in a daze, "Which second Mrs. Xue?" ”

The man glared at her, "Which Xue did you say?" Of course, it's Wu Muhou's Xue family. ”

The woman hurriedly reported to the inside.

Yesterday, I sat in the Wumuhou Mansion, and today the people of the Xue family came to visit, and anyone can figure out something.

watched the eldest lady welcome the second Mrs. Xue in.

The mothers-in-law at the back door whispered, "I think the second lady is ready to marry Wu Muhou." In this way, the eldest aunt is the son, and the second aunt is the marquis...... "The two young ladies from Taofu are really well married, as for those young ladies from the concubines, who cares."

Second Mrs. Xue sat on the chair and said with a smile: "I have been dangling in front of the eldest lady's eyes these days, and the eldest lady will not look annoying, right?" ”

The eldest lady was amused by the second Mrs. Xue, "I am only happy that Mrs. comes every day." In his heart, he secretly wondered what Mrs. Xue's second wife meant, could it be that the coachman who sent them back last night said something?

Second Mrs. Xue took a sip of tea, "The old lady went to the palace today, and I will come over and sit down when I have a spare child," paused, "Is Miss Eight okay?" ”

The eldest lady said, "It's okay." Mrs. Lao was still worried. ”

Second Mrs. Xue got up shyly, "It's the negligence of the people in the house that will hurt Miss Eight...... The eldest lady didn't complain but was so polite, how could I be embarrassed. ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and said some more gossip.

The atmosphere in the room was easy-going, and Mrs. Xue said: "There is one more thing, come and ask the eldest lady, I want to hold a lantern festival in the house, and invite the ladies and young ladies who are familiar with the family to come over to play, but this lantern festival can't be done without poetry riddles, and it's not interesting for the poetry riddles to let the ladies in the house write them, so I thought, let the young ladies who know each other write some, so that you guess mine, I guess yours, it's interesting," said and asked the accompanying maid to take out a box, and after opening it, it was red paper, and Mrs. Xue looked at these and smiled," That's what I'm here for. ”

The lantern festival is generally held on the Shangyuan Festival, and the days are still far away. Besides, seeing that Second Mrs. Xue meant to write it down now. I'm afraid it's not simple, although the eldest lady thinks so, she can't think of any reason. Second Mrs. Xue made a special trip to make such a trip, and she couldn't refuse, so she smiled and said to Chen's mother: "Go and invite the second and eighth misses over." ”

Today's pink ticket is updated, everyone waits......

The children of this month are really tired, and I am tired of reading the words for a day.
