209. Indifferent

Ning was stunned and couldn't help frowning: "Why did the eldest aunt say that?" Of course you can, but the eldest brother, second brother and sister-in-law are here, why should I ask? Or is it ...... You mean you want me to send someone? ”

Nala hesitated for a moment and said, "No...... I went to pick it up during the Chinese New Year, wasn't it rejected by Sifujin? I'm afraid I'll hit a wall again this time...... You are a relative of their house, presumably Sifujin will still give you this face. ”

Shuning frowned again, a little angry in her heart. What is this? Want to use it? But his family is not close to the fourth elder brother on the surface, not to mention that his mother has already told the fourth elder brother that Wanning's matter has nothing to do with her, if she intervenes, won't she slap her mother in the face? So she said, "Isn't the eldest aunt sick and confused?" If you talk about relatives, isn't the eldest aunt closer to their house? If you really want to count it, how many of our rooms are royal relatives, has the eldest aunt forgotten that among our sisters, there is also a Wufujin? ”

Nala turned white and bowed his head sadly. Seeing her like this, Shuning didn't want to continue to stab people. The Li family next to him was silent, and the Xitara family looked at everyone carefully, and then persuaded him: "Don't worry about the third girl, in fact, Eniang is also afraid of sending someone to pick up her aunt and grandmother, and the fourth Belle Mansion refuses to stop." This...... Relatives are also intimate...... Last time the fourth brother got married, didn't the fourth elder brother come to congratulate him? This ......"

Shuning smiled faintly: "I understand what the second sister-in-law means, but the fourth elder brother is now on the expedition with the holy car, what is my brother doing in the Fourth Belle Mansion for no reason?" On the contrary, the eldest brother and the second brother are more solemn and smooth, right? As for me. I can't even go to the door. Didn't my sister-in-law forget that I was a pro-lander? In order to take care of housework, it is no longer in accordance with the rules to run at both ends of Fangshan in the capital, if you run to other people's homes as guests at will, do you want to be famous? Although I can't compare to my second sister's noble background, I still know the rules. ”

The Hitara clan had been working with her all these days, and when they heard that she was actually angry, they didn't dare to say anything more. The scene was cold for a while, and in the end, Shuning saw that Nala's face was pale, and she was a little pitiful that it was not easy for her to be a mother. slowed down his tone and said: "Actually, the last time I couldn't pick up people, it was also because the eldest aunt didn't think about it." Where is there a married daughter who returns to her parents' house for the New Year? What's more, the royal family is the place with the strictest rules. But this time is different, first, it is the grandfather's fifth anniversary, and second, the eldest aunt is not good, and it is normal for people to take her daughter back to meet. Today, the saint governs the country with filial piety, and the four blessings will not stop people from fulfilling their filial piety. The eldest aunt just sent the housekeeper to say, or let the two brothers or sisters-in-law come forward to ask for help.

As long as we bring people back, we act rigorously and don't let people catch anything wrong. It's even easier to pick people up later. ”

Nara was delighted to hear this: "Ah, that's right. That's it! It will definitely be done! Shuning smiled. He said that he hadn't seen his brother and sister-in-law since he came back, and he was going back to the hospital, but before leaving, he remembered one thing and asked: "I just listened to the meaning of the eldest aunt, do you want to do a good job of handling the sacrificial affairs?" But when I asked my aunt a few days ago, you didn't say that my uncle and Ama were not at home. Is it just a simple task? Have you changed your mind now? ”

Li lowered his head and coughed lightly, Xitara was a little flustered, and Nala squeaked for a while before saying, "No...... There is no male host at home...... Brother Qing'er and the brothers are still young...... Still is...... Sacrifice one sacrifice to your own family...... It's just fine......"

Shuning got the answer, smiled and left.

Afterwards, she remembered that she only felt very unhappy in her heart, originally she was still a little sympathetic to the disaster of the pond fish in the big house, but now it seems that the style of the eldest aunt Nala has not changed much. Never mind. Anyway, she had promised her mother a long time ago that she would not bother Wanning's idle affairs anymore. She just needs to do her own thing.

The next day. The Nala clan sent the second daughter-in-law, the Hitara clan, as a representative, and asked Wu Xinda's wife to accompany him. He also picked two daughters-in-law who could speak well to accompany him and went to the Sibel Mansion. Sifu Jin Yumin readily agreed to their request, but said that he would send someone from Baylor Mansion to wait. The Hitara clan was busy, so he followed his subordinates to see Wanning.

Before leaving, Wan Ning wanted to say goodbye to Yu Min according to the rules, but she seemed to be not very polite to Yu Min and said something a little excessive. The Hitara clan was afraid that Yumin would blame, so they helped say a lot of good things, but fortunately, Yumin didn't care much and didn't blame him.

But on the way back, Wanning complained that the second sister-in-law was too groveling and lost her face. The Hitara clan only felt full of grievances, and after a long while, he said: "Since ancient times, there has been a difference between the descendants and the concubines. I'm afraid that my aunt and grandmother will offend the main room, so I helped say so many good things, why did I dislike my aunt ***? I don't understand this. ”

Wanning was not quite accustomed to the title of "aunt and grandmother", and was stunned before saying: "Isn't it a shame for you to please her like this in front of her?" She thought we were sycophants in the house. Don't think she's really so magnanimous, in fact, she is very vicious in her heart, regardless of her past friendship, and she always can't get along with me. No matter how much you please her, you won't get anything good. ”

Hitara choked and simply turned around and ignored her. Wanning was trapped for a long time and it was difficult to go out, so she took the opportunity to lift the curtains of the car to see the excitement outside, but she sent someone to talk to her a few times before she gave up.

Back at Tatara House, Wan Ning visited her mother and saw her sick appearance

Didn't you say that it was already good? Why are you sick again? Is it because you're worried about me? Li Shi said lightly: "Since Ama set out on the expedition, Eniang has been in bad spirits, thinking that she is worried about Amma's safety on the front line. ”

Wan Ning listened and said: "That's right, no one told me about the day the army departed, but it turned out that the master had been gone for a long time before I got the letter, hmph, it's all those women who are doing ghosts!" She sighed, "I wonder where Amma is now?" I haven't seen a war yet, so I'd love to see it. ”

Nala's hand trembled, Li glanced at Wanning, and Xitara smiled cautiously: "Grandma is talking nonsense again, soldiers are a major matter of the country, how can we women go to the battlefield?" Wan Ning said: "Who said that women can't go to war?" Mulan. Liang Hongyu, aren't these all heroines among women? ”

Li pulled the corners of his mouth: "The land is indeed a heroine among women, the second aunt and grandmother are really good now, and they are actually on par with these heroines, I don't know if they have learned martial arts, and they also want to serve on behalf of their father?" ”

Wan Ning heard that something was wrong, and glared at Li and said, "Where did I offend my sister-in-law?" Why do you have to go toe-to-toe with me in everything you say? Li Shi just said lightly: "How come?" I'm just saying it, not you. ”

"Stop arguing." Nala sighed, she turned around and said to her eldest daughter-in-law, "You have also been with me for a long time, you must be tired." Go back to the house and rest, tonight your family and Brother Shun'er's family will come, and we will set up two seats in the outer room, just to catch your sister-in-law. ”

Hearing Li's response, she turned to her daughter and said: "You should also pay attention to what you say, now it is no more than when you were at home before, you have married into the royal family, you must be careful in what you say and do, don't let people find faults, otherwise it will be even more sad in Baylor Mansion." Wan Ning was sullen for a while. Bow your head and say nothing.

Seeing that the scene was a little cold, the Hitara clan squeaked and said that he wanted to go back to the Rongqing Hall to be a director. Wanning heard that she and Shuning are now in charge of housework, and Shuning is the dominant person. She raised an eyebrow. sneered: "The third aunt acts cruelly and viciously, don't you know? Actually let her daughter be the housekeeper?! Don't you think there were enough people who died in the family last year?! ”

Li Shi gave her a cold look, then got up and said goodbye. Hitara confessed with a look of embarrassment and left with him. Nala looked at his daughter and sneered, sighed in his heart, took her hand, and asked her about her situation in the middle of the Sibeile Mansion.

This question. She sighed even more. Wan Ning has been in the house for nearly half a year, and the fourth elder brother has never entered her courtyard, and has only seen it once at the local family banquet during the Chinese New Year. Although others did not say it explicitly in the other world, it has become a fact that she fell out of favor before she was favored. Wan Ning also accused Sifu Jin Yumin of ignoring her friendship for many years and always preventing her from approaching the fourth elder brother, otherwise the situation would have improved a long time ago.

Nala is a little glad that her daughter has not been wronged in terms of food and clothing, and those maids-in-law, even if they look down on their daughter, will not embarrass people in person. But it was more uncomfortable for her.

It was when her daughter wanted to see Xiao Gege that she was stopped by Mrs. Li; Other ladies have parties. I won't call my daughter either. As if she were a plague god.

Nara was angry, but thought of what her daughter had done. I was deflated again, so I could only tell her about the world and how to get along with people, hoping that she would be more sensible. It's a pity that Wanning has been married for a short time, and her mood is not calm, so no one knows whether she can hear it.

Shu Ning was entertaining the two grandmothers who followed Wan Ning back to her parents' house in the front flower hall, waiting for good tea and food, and also cleaned up two clean rooms in Wan Ning's small courtyard for them to move in. They also listened to what they said about "the rules for the ladies of the house to return to their parents' homes", and instructed their subordinates to do it, which made them very satisfied.

These two grandmothers are not the two who took Wan Ning into the house last time, and they speak kindly. When Shuning began to feel impatient in her heart and wanted to find an excuse to politely send them back to the house to rest, the two of them glanced at each other and asked about Qiaoyundi's parents and family, which surprised Shuning a little.

It turned out that the second steward of the inner courtyard of the Sibeile Mansion, his wife and these two grandmothers have been old sisters for decades, and somehow he took a fancy to Qiaoyun, felt that she acted steadily and looked good, and wanted her to fill the house for her son. Her son, who is twenty-three years old this year, writes well and is also smart, and now works as an errand in the fourth elder brother's outer study, and has been single since his wife had a difficult birth three years ago. This person has also seen Qiaoyun, and he has some meaning of love at first sight. The mother and son thought that this family affair was good, but they didn't expect to hit a nail in Wanning's place.

Wan Ning seemed to think that this was a conspiracy of Sifu Jin Yumin, wanting to take away the people around her, so as to achieve the goal of controlling her, so she refused to let go. And Qiaoyun herself is extremely loyal, the master refuses, of course she will not nod. However, the son of that family has suffered from lovesickness, and it has even affected the errand, if it weren't for the fourth elder brother not being at home, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to please him. His parents were so anxious that they couldn't do it, so the two grandmothers wanted to help, and came to ask Qiaoyun's parents what they meant, if the former owner Nala and her family agreed, Wan Ning would not be able to stop them anymore.

One of the grandmothers also said: "That brother grew up with us, and he is really a good boy." Because of his cleverness, the master once said that he would let him out in two years, whether he was a rich man in business, or if he had a serious background, he would always have a big future. Sister Qiaoyun followed him, and it was also a blessed life. What's more, there is such a relationship. Mrs. Wan also has a care in the house

I also asked the girl to help me talk about it. ”

Shuning was noncommittal, prevaricated with words, and waited until they were sent before asking someone to check the servant's book. Qiaoyun is a child of a family, her parents are gone, and her brother and sister-in-law are all on an errand in Baoding Zhuangzi. She and Su Yun were originally the same batch of people who entered the mansion to wait, they should be about the same age, Su Yun is married, and she is also an old girl, if the son of the second manager is really good. It's a good thing. But since Wan Ning objected, she simply kicked the ball to the big house.

However, she still kept an eye on it, and asked Su Xin to find a way to probe some breath from the smoke cloud to see what Qiaoyun meant. As a result, Yanyun revealed that Qiaoyun was enthusiastic about the second housekeeper lady, but she had the intention of helping Wanning, and later the son came to see her, and she also heard that people were on an errand in the study of the fourth elder brother, so she half used her daughter's family to socialize with others, but caused people to suffer from lovesickness for her.

When the lady in charge came to propose, Qiaoyun was actually willing in her heart. According to the current state of his master Wanning. The possibility of being favored is not high, and there is no guarantee for your life, rather than being a random boy in the future. It's better to climb into this family, and in the future, maybe you can get rid of the status of a slave and become a master. Moreover, there is a relationship between the second steward of the inner court, and the master of his own family can also get some convenience, and if he marries, he can continue to serve as a daughter-in-law. It's a pity that she worked hard, but she couldn't get Wanning's relief. Instead, he was scolded. She had been crying several times behind her back.

Shuning knew in her heart, and when she heard that the dinner in the big room was over, she went over to ask the Nala clan to say goodbye, but found that Wanning was very cold to her, or more precisely, there was a sense of hostility and contempt. Although she was a little depressed in her heart, she still didn't see it, and just reported the important events of the day, and mentioned Qiaoyun's matter by the way.

Nala has not yet taken a stand. Wan Ning has already objected, and even accused Shu Ning of trying to tie up her future husband's relatives. At the expense of her interests. Shuning held back her anger. He just said to Nala: "I heard from those two grandmothers that that brother's family has some face in the Four Baylor Mansion. Both parents are stewards with heads and faces in the inner courtyard. I'm not bad, but now I'm on an errand in the study outside, and maybe I can be released to find a career in two years. What is the end of this family matter, I still have to ask the eldest aunt and second sister to make an idea, so I won't ask anymore. ”

She noticed that when she talked about her brother's background, Nala's eyes lit up, and she knew that the other party must have an idea in her heart, so she didn't say anything, so she got up and retreated, completely ignoring Wanning, who was a little fangs and claws next to her.

The next day, on the anniversary of the main festival, Tatara did not invite the clansmen to come, but only a few people from his own house sacrificed a sacrifice. Fang Ning and Su Su both sent people to send things back, and Zhang Bao and his wife, who were far away in Baoding, also arrived before noon on the same day. Wan Ning originally said that she was going to attend, but as soon as she heard that the people in the second room were also here, she refused to leave the courtyard. Hearing these news, Xingbao and his wife sneered a few times, Shen frowned, and no one said anything more.

In the end, it was the Nala clan who said that Wan Ning went to the hall outside to put a pillar of incense on her grandfather after the relatives left. However, she was suspicious again, and felt that although the servants around her did not whisper, the expressions that made each other look at each other were clearly laughing at herself, so she was immediately furious and reprimanded: "Isn't the third sister in charge of the housekeeper?" How can you manage people so ignorant of the rules and chew your tongue?! ”

The faces of the people around him changed greatly, and they hurriedly stood upright and straightened their faces. Wan Ning looked a little proud, and Nala sighed secretly, and asked her daughter to help her back to the room.

At the beginning, the Hitara clan went to pick up Wanning and said that they would stay for three days, so after the sacrifice day, Wanning thought about having a relaxing day. But as soon as she expressed her desire to go out, she was stopped, not only did the two grandmothers say that they did not behave, but even her mother said a few words to her. She was depressed for a while, so she just walked around the house. But as soon as she came out of the yard, the two grandmothers asked her where she was going; Even if I just went to my mother's house, several people followed; Walking on the road, you can see Yahuan Po probing her brain everywhere. She couldn't help complaining that the housekeeper was troublesome, and that she couldn't enjoy freedom at home. So as soon as the deadline came, I simply packed up and left.

Shuning didn't know that she had become the culprit in Wanning's heart that caused her to not be able to enjoy freedom in her mother's house, she just stared at Wanning's spending bills at home for three days, but in the end she approved it.

A few days later, I heard that Qiaoyun's brother and sister-in-law were recalled to Beijing by the Nala clan and received a reward for them to give their sister a decent dowry. Shu Ning knew that the Nala clan had finally persuaded Wan Ning.

Nala seemed to have tasted the sweetness, and every ten days or so, he asked people to pick up their daughter and go home for two days. Shuning only felt that Wanning's cold air for her was becoming more and more obvious, and the expenditure of the big house was becoming less and less unpleasant. But she couldn't say anything, so as not to be misunderstood by the Nala clan that she had wronged her baby daughter, so after the housekeeper had been in good health for two months, seeing that the Nala clan was getting better and the Hitara clan could barely deal with it, she handed over the housekeeper power back to the big house, packed up her own bags, and prepared to go back to Fangshan.

However, her trip was blocked again, and Duan Ning heard some bad rumors in the military headquarters, and there seemed to be some disturbing changes at the front.
