Chapter 302: The Steproom (Part II)
The Taihu Lake stone that is higher than the eaves blocks the view of entering the door, and the green bamboo in the twilight spring has emerged a few young leaves, the breeze blows, rustling, and the small courtyard is peaceful and quiet.
Eleven Niang helped Mrs. Gan to go around the rockery in the small courtyard to the main house.
The door of the main house is ajar, and the window lattices on the east and west sides are ajar.
She couldn't help but be in a trance.
The last time she came, it was Fuyuan Niang...... Then, I met Xu Lingyi......
This time, though, it was Mrs. Fugan. But the scenarios are so similar.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but look at Mrs. Gan with a side face.
Mrs. Gan's mouth was pursed tightly, her eyes were blank, and her face no longer had the same composure as before.
What happened to the Gan family? It was surprising that Mrs. Gan could be like this!
She was secretly surprised, and Yan Rong led the little maid to greet her.
"Ma'am, the house has been cleaned up!"
Eleven Niang nodded, Mrs. Gan came back to her senses, and smiled politely: "Trouble the fourth lady!" But there was no trace of pleasure in his eyes.
"How can you talk about trouble." Eleven Niang smiled, "I've already sent someone to invite your personal mother!" ”
Mrs. Gan smiled and entered the main house with Eleven Niang.
Xu is the house has been uninhabited for a long time, although it is clean, but there is a cold smell everywhere.
"Mrs. Gan, you will be on it!" Mrs. Eleven Niangfu Gan rested on the black eight-step bed in the east room, and served a cup of hot tea to Mrs. Gan with her own hands.
Mrs. Gan picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea, and then she took a long breath and her expression eased.
Eleven Niang took the pillow on the big kang near the window and put it behind Mrs. Gan: "You lean on it first!" I'll wait for your mom to come and leave. ”
"No need!" Mrs. Gan said softly, "Today is your sister's sacrifice day, and you are also busy. Leave me alone. Then he looked up at the little maids beside Eleven Niang, "Aren't there still them?" ”
Eleven Niang has a good impression of Mrs. Gan, who has always been kind to her, and she can't bear to let her stay here alone when she is unwell. insisted: "It's not bad for a while." Thinking of the time when he was having lunch at this time, he said softly, "Are you hungry?" Or I'll have someone make a yokan, you can use a little more, and then get a good night's sleep in the afternoon to nourish your spirits. After speaking, he didn't wait for Mrs. Gan to answer, and directly ordered Yanrong to do it.
"Don't bother!" Mrs. Gan hurriedly stopped, "I'm not hungry!" ”
Eleven Niang gently persuaded her: "Only after eating can people have spirits." If you don't have the spirit, you can't do anything! ”
Mrs. Gan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and did not make a sound.
Eleven Niang's heart was relieved.
It's good to be able to listen to persuasion.
asked the little maid to urge Yanrong again: "Hurry up and bring it over!" ”
Mrs. Gan sighed softly when she listened, closed her eyes and leaned on the pillow embroidered with goose yellow hibiscus flowers on a big red background, reflecting her pale face, revealing a few wins and weaknesses.
Eleven Niang gently helped her tuck the quilt and sat on the small pestle in front of the bed to accompany her.
After a while, Yan Rong hurriedly brought in the yokan.
Eleven Niang personally brought it to Mrs. Gan.
Mrs. Gan barely ate a few pieces.
Eleven Niang poured her another cup of hot tea and rinsed her mouth, smoked a pillow to serve her to lie down, and then put down the tent lightly, and was about to leave, but was grabbed.
"The ...... of the Four Ladies"
Eleven Niang lowered her head and saw Mrs. Gan's eyes full of tears.
"The child is gone!" As soon as she spoke, tears welled up.
The child is gone? Whose child is gone?
Mrs. Kim?
Eleven Niang's gaze couldn't help but fall on Mrs. Gan's abdomen.
Yan Rong's expression changed greatly, and with a gesture, he immediately took the servants in the house down and guarded the door.
And Eleven Niang thought about it, and immediately overturned her guess.
Mrs. Gan's knees were empty, and the sons of Cao E, Lan Ting, and Zhong Qinbo were all born to their wives. If it is Mrs. Gan, who is middle-aged and has a child, it will be a great joy, although it will not be as starry as the moon, but it will not be as busy as it is now for Lanting's marriage!
After thinking about it, Mrs. Gan choked up and said, "When I was young, my uncle was afraid that I would be moved if I gave birth to a son, so he kept guarding against me...... I thought that I was a continuation, a halfway couple, and it was normal for my uncle to be uneasy...... The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time. As long as I am genuinely good to him and to my children, sooner or later he will understand what I am...... Never thought of it......" Mrs. Gan sobbed, "Now that my uncle wants to keep someone to rely on for me, the prince is starting to worry...... He's going to be a grandfather, but he's just raised in my name, so he can't tolerate it? She said, covering her mouth and crying in a low voice.
The absence when adding the box, the excited look of Gan Da * milk, fainted today. There are answers.
Eleven Niang looked at Mrs. Gan, who was crying and didn't dare to cry unscrupulously, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Since the uncle has a heart, the child is gone, and it will be reborn in the future!" She comforted Mrs. Gan insincerely, "Don't be too sad, your body is important!" ”
"Regenerate ......" Mrs. Gan shook her head lightly in dismay, "Uncle is old...... There will be no chance in the future......" Crystal tears fell down Mrs. Gan's cheeks and fell on the pillow, and immediately turned red. She bit her lip tightly, as if she was afraid that she would say something inappropriate under her sadness.
Eleven Niang shed tears.
I was afraid of getting my makeup dirty, so I hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of my eyes.
Since sending Mrs. Gan away that day, Eleven Niang has occasionally been in a daze when she is alone.
Amber couldn't help but worry when she saw it: "Madam, it's all right after these two days!" ”
"I'm fine!" Eleven Niang said, "I'm just thinking about things." ”
As Eleven Niang began to host the feed, they came into contact with more people and faced more things. Amber sometimes has to carefully sort out her thoughts, let alone Eleven Niang!
Amber didn't dare to disturb her, so she could only take care of her carefully in her daily life.
I washed the cherries myself and put them in a crystal saucer.
Sister Zhen has returned from the Weibei Hou Mansion.
Eleven Niang beckoned her to eat cherries: "Go wash your hands and eat cherries!" ”
Yan Rong and the others hurriedly fetched water for Sister Zhen to clean her face and hands.
Sister Zhen sat affectionately beside Eleven Niang.
"How?" Eleven Niang pushed the crystal plate with cherries, "It's still lively over there, right?" ”
Sister Zhen nodded again and again: "Sister Fang and her two cousins, Sister Xian and one of her cousins, Aunt Twelve, and Miss Li and the two young ladies of the Liang family...... It took three tables to sit down. Everyone is playing drumming and passing flowers! ”
She went at the beginning of the afternoon, and it was the beginning of the end of the day, and after an hour and a half, she only had lunch and came back.
"Isn't it a bit of a pity?" Eleven Niang looked at Sister Zhen with a smile. The sisters were playing there, but she was coming back.
"No!" Sister Zhen smiled brightly, "Sister Hui is so happy to see me go." He added, "The second aunt is also right, I haven't taken it yet, so it's better to participate less on such occasions!" Then he pulled the sleeves of Eleven Niang, with a little coquettish look, "Mother, I will never be like this again!" ”
Looking at her satisfied smiling face, Eleven Niang smiled and grabbed her shoulder: "It's good to know!" When I go back, remember to talk to my second aunt. ”
Sister Zhen nodded, her face showing a few hesitations.
"What's wrong?" Eleven Niang asked her softly.
Sister Zhen thought about it for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Second aunt doesn't seem to be very happy in the past two days!" ”
Since Mrs. Xiang went back to her parents' house to visit her sister-in-law, the second lady went out twice, once saying that she was going to Mrs. Xiang's mother's house to visit the sick, and once when Mrs. Xiang went to see her off. But the second lady's expression has always been faint, and Eleven Niang herself is also very busy, so she didn't look carefully when she met Mrs. Tai.
She muttered, "Do you know why you're upset?" ”
"I don't know." Sister Zhen said, "I see that Sister Yuxiang has been light-hearted these days, and she scolded the little girl for being too noisy. ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "So it's not happy?" Doesn't your sister Amber often scold the little girl? ”
"That's different!" Sister Zhen said seriously, "Mother has a good temper, although everyone respects you, you don't feel scared when you see it." Those ignorant little maids are only when you are amiable, and you will inevitably be arrogant. If Sister Amber doesn't care about discipline anymore, won't those little maids have no rules. The second aunt was very solemn, and everyone was already a little trembling when they saw her, let alone frolicking. Sister Yuuka is a temperless person, and now she actually scolded the little maid for coming......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help muttering, "It's probably because the second aunt is in a bad mood, so she feels annoyed when she hears the slightest movement...... Sister Yuuka lost her temper just now! ”
Eleven Niang has no concept of dignity and inferiority. Although she obeyed, she did not delve into the slightest transgression, and the little maids were young and relaxed in front of her. Unlike those housekeeping mothers, they have all been picked by her, and they are also accurate one by one, and they are a little afraid in front of her.
However, Sister Zhen observed really carefully!
The second lady doesn't have a housekeeper, and there are no children who are naughty, although Xu Siyu's marriage is not going well, there is no letter that the Xiang family disagrees. She is in a bad mood, is it related to the Xiang family's delay in giving the Xu family an answer?
After sending Sister Zhen away, Eleven Niang asked Amber to inquire about the second lady's return to her parents' house.
The next day, Amber writes back.
"I heard from the mother-in-law who followed the car that the second lady went to Mrs. Xiang's mother's house to visit the patient, and after staying for less than half a pillar of incense, she came out without even eating. At that time, it was Lord Xiang who sent the second lady out of the hanging flower door. The second lady asked Mrs. Xiang when she would go back, and Mrs. Xiang was full of discomfort, saying that she would have to wait for Mrs. Xiang's sister-in-law, Mrs. Gao, to recover from her illness before going back. The second lady sighed and came back without saying anything.
Later, he returned to his parents' home. Mrs. Xiang, the young master, and the young lady have not yet returned. Mrs. Xiang's personal mother instructed the family maid to move the cage to the carriage. I had told him to go home after dinner. As a result, at dusk, a small servant from the Gao Mansion came over, saying that the old lady of the Gao family heard that Lord Xiang was about to take office, and he had something to say, let Lord Xiang go over quickly. The second lady didn't even eat dinner, so she went home. ”
Mrs. Xiang stayed at her parents' house and did not even see her husband off; The second lady went to Gao's house to visit the sick and did not stay for dinner; The brother and sister were talking, and Lord Xiang was called by the little servant sent by the Gao family again......
It seems that this matter will not be settled so soon!
