Chapter Ninety-One: Settled (II)
Mu Hibiscus was busy in the house, "Hurry up and prepare the meal, Miss should come back at this time." (Niu Wen ~ Net)" As soon as the words fell, Hongyu entered the house and saluted Mu Hibiscus, "Sister, Sister Jinxiu called someone back and said that Miss Eight ate at the eldest lady's side." ”
Hibiscus was a little surprised.
Hongyu whispered in Mu Hibiscus's ear: "I heard that the Xue family is going to come to see the eldest lady in a while." ”
Hibiscus's eyebrows raised slightly, so it was.
The eldest lady didn't eat much, Rong Hua put down the dishes and chopsticks and persuaded him frequently, the eldest lady ate some more, and after eating, the maid took down the dishes and chopsticks, and Rong Hua accompanied the eldest lady to change clothes.
The eldest lady watched Rong Hua busy on the side, Rong Hua slightly closed her chin, lowered her eyebrows, and had been serving the decoction in front of her bed for the past few days, respectfully and supple without the slightest mistake.
She has already tested the master's attitude, and in the past two days, she heard that the old lady gave the two girls Hongyu and Hongying to Ronghua, and those two girls were left by the old lady to Yaohua, could it be that Yaohua will not be cared for? …… As long as she thought of this, the eldest lady's cheeks twitched involuntarily, not wanting to be embarrassed in front of the concubine, the eldest lady covered her cheeks with her hands, turned around and told Rong Hua, "You go down first"
As soon as Rong Hua left, the eldest wife asked people to help her to see Yaohua, and she couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Yaohua's illness in bed, thinking of the situation of her two daughters, it became more and more unbearable, but fortunately, Yaohua's condition seemed to be improving, and the eldest lady persuaded Yaohua softly, "You take care of your illness, no matter what, there is me and the old lady, I will always find a good result for you, you just relax." ”
Yaohua Xuexue's face was white, she nodded slightly, and said softly in the same soft voice, "Mother has to rest well, I don't have to worry too much about it, as long as my mother is well, I can rest assured." How's it going on my sister's side? I haven't heard the maids talk about it in the past few days, and my mother should not tell my sister about me. ”
The eldest lady complained: "You kid, you just think too much about others." Saying that, thinking of her daughter's temperament but ending up like this, her heart was excited, and her cheeks twitched again.
Seeing the strangeness, Yaohua hurriedly stood up and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
The eldest lady just covered up, "If there is anything, it will be fine in two days." Saying that, he didn't stay long, let Chunyao help him out, and as soon as he walked to the door, he heard a shout inside, "Miss, you can't ......"
The eldest lady hurriedly turned around to look back, only to see Yaohua stepping on the ground barefoot, standing up, her shoulders trembling, and her mouth said, "I'll send my mother." "It's so reluctant.
The eldest lady couldn't help but walk back, and both mother and daughter wept through this scene.
The eldest lady was talking to Yaohua here, and Ronghua sent Yanhua back to the house, and heard Jinxiu instructing the little maid in the house, "There are many people coming here these days, you should pay more attention." ”
Jinxiu seemed to be too nervous, Rong Hua glanced at Jinxiu, Jinxiu was very serious without a smile on his face, his brows were slightly frowned, and he was a little worried. Rong Hua called Jinxiu to the warm pavilion, Jinxiu hurriedly laid out the Xuanhu skin for Rong Hua to sit, and handed the stove over.
Rong Hua asked Jinxiu to sit beside him, and asked Mu Hibiscus to watch people outside, and then asked Jinxiu, "What's going on these days?" I see you're in a state of flux. ”
Jinxiu bit her lip and raised her head, "Miss, I'm afraid." Do you think someone will use any means to deal with Miss in a hurry? ”
Rong Hua asked again: "What do you say?" What do you hear? ”
Jinxiu shook her head, "No, I just think it's indispensable to guard against people, in case something is lost in the young lady's house, or something more, we won't be able to argue if someone finds out." ”
Mu Hibiscus listened outside and entered the house, "I said that Jinxiu thinks too much, so many eyes are watching, who will put anything in our house." ”
Jinxiu wanted to say something, but looked at Hibiscus but didn't say anything, "It's better to be careful." ”
Rong Hua looked at Jinxiu's appearance, his heart sank, and he thought for a while, "Just pay attention to what Jinxiu said these days." In particular, my belongings are locked in the cabinet, and I should pay attention to the things that others bring in, and no outsiders are allowed to enter the inner room under any circumstances, even the thick girl in our yard is no exception. ”
Hibiscus nodded and went out.
Rong Hua left Jinxiu behind, went to the blue gauze cabinet at the back of the inner room, and looked at Jinxiu deeply a few times before saying, "I thought you wouldn't hide anything from me." ”
Jinxiu raised her head to look at Rong Hua, and still tightened her handkerchief under Rong Hua's gentle eyes, "Miss has a life-saving grace for the slave maid, what else can the slave and maid not tell Miss." Saying that, he raised his head to look at Rong Hua, "I'm just afraid that the second miss will come up with something to harm the young lady." ”
Rong Hua knew that Jinxiu was wary of Yaohua, but he didn't expect it to come to this point.
Jinxiu lowered her voice and said, "Miss doesn't know, the fifth miss of our family may not die of a sudden illness." ”
No matter how calm Rong Hua was, her face couldn't help but change when she heard this, she didn't expect that someone around her would know about that incident.
Rong Hua walked outside to take a look, closed the partition door with his own hands, and then returned to pull Jinxiu to his side, and asked Jinxiu carefully, "How do you know?" ”
Jinxiu said: "This is a few years ago, that day is also coincidental, my mother is sick, I took a day off to go back to see Lao Tzu Niang, only to go back to the inner house late today, is walking to the house, saw a person hurriedly out of the library, I carefully identified it was the second miss, just wanted to step forward to salute, and saw the second miss in a hurry to leave a heart, simply hid and avoided the past, after a while, the second miss walked to the shadow, I was just about to come out, and saw the old man carrying a lantern hurriedly out to find someone, and also held a hairpin in his hand. ”
"In the evening, the eldest lady sent us down early, she and Chen's mother were talking in the house, I dared to go up to eavesdrop, and listened to the eldest lady say that the fifth lady had an affair with a man, and this matter was discovered by the eldest lady, yesterday the eldest lady took a hairpin to the eldest lady to let the eldest lady identify, and the eldest lady found someone to see, saying that it looked like the fifth miss, and did not dare to alarm the people in the fifth miss's house, so I asked the second miss to confirm again, and the second miss also said that it was the fifth miss."
Jinxiu glanced at Rong Hua and felt that Miss Eight's face was getting heavier and heavier, "Of course I knew that the hairpin was lost by the second miss, but I didn't think that she would blame the fifth miss." ”
Rong Hua's fingers trembled uncontrollably when she heard this, it turned out to be like this, she held that kind of longing, novelty, and simple mind, and Yaohua learned to exchange hairpins with Jinlan. secretly exchanged hairpins with others behind their backs, and they never imagined that on the day of the exchange of hairpins, the testimony of the covenant of living and dying together would be used in this way. Only she and Yaohua knew about this matter, and even if the eldest lady asked, she couldn't argue.
Jinxiu didn't notice Rong Hua's emotions, and then said: "The eldest lady said again, I think it is also Miss Five, and the fifth lady likes to go to the library on weekdays, and the eldest lady will return this matter to the eldest lady." ”
"The eldest lord said that the phoenix hairpin that the noble man who came today in the library pavilion was moved, and asked the eldest lady to ask if the fifth lady had moved, if these are true...... Let the eldest lady dispose of the fifth lady. The eldest lady sneered, where do these words still need to be asked, it must be that the fifth lady likes that Feng Hai and moved her mind, and blames the old man for indulging the fifth lady, but now it is good, and he fornicates with men, and steals other people's things, which is not a matter of ruining the family style, since the old man has said such things, just do it. Then let Chen's mother find a few cronies who don't often enter the house to come in and go to Miss Five's house together. ”
No one knows what happened better than her. So that night, the eldest lady brought her mother-in-law over and poured poison on her, and she died in vain. She had long thought that she would not be executed just for the crime of fornicating with a man, but now Rong Hua could vaguely guess from Jinxiu's words that it was Yaohua who moved the phoenix hairpin and overheard something in the library pavilion, and when she was discovered, she left the hairpin and blamed her.
The father was not good at investigating the eavesdropping, so he used her fornication with a man as a pretext to let the eldest lady investigate, and the eldest lady had long regarded her as a thorn in her side, and was convicted without much interrogation.
Yaohua's actions can not only protect Yaohua herself, but also get rid of her. Yaohua thought that after she died, she would be able to marry Zhao Xuanhuan logically, but she forgot that driven by interests, everyone was optimistic about this family business, and in the end, it was Shuhua who married Zhao Xuanhuan.
After spending so much effort and calculation, what he got in the end was a vain, no wonder Yaohua would be seriously ill.
If she hadn't returned to this world, she would probably never have guessed who her murderer was for the rest of her life.
Jinxiu said: "Now that Miss is going to marry the Hou Mansion, I always feel that the second Miss will not give up." ”
Rong Hua nodded, Yaohua would not give up, not only did she not marry the Zhao family, but she also did not take a step back to marry the Hou Mansion, but married the one surnamed Gu, hasn't Yaohua wasted all these years?
Although the old lady is shrewd, after all, she is old, and Yaohua grew up beside her, how can such a flesh and blood family relationship be abandoned like this?
Yaohua's "illness" has always been so timely that everyone in the house has pitied her and willingly planned for her, but this time...... Rong Hua's eyes showed a firmness, but he couldn't just watch her succeed.
Mu Hibiscus pushed open the partition door and entered the room, "Mrs. Xue is here, let Miss over." ”
Rong Hua changed his clothes and came to the eldest lady's room.
Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue listened to Mrs. Xue while drinking tea, and Mrs. Xue said: "I don't know where the Taoist priest came into the house and said for a while, saying that the plum blossoms in our house are blooming well, and there will be a happy event recently. ”
Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue all laughed. Seeing Rong Hua come in again, Second Mrs. Xue smiled even more, and Rong Hua stepped forward to salute.
Second Mrs. Xue said: "It's only been a few days since I saw Miss Eight more beautiful." ”
Rong Hua smiled shyly.
A few people were saying this, and someone from outside came: "The second master is back." ”
The eldest lady said, "Let Brother Hong come in and meet the two ladies." ”
As he spoke, Brother Hong came in with the curtain, first stepped forward to meet the two Mrs. Xue, and then saluted the eldest lady and Rong Hua.
Brother Hong sat on the side, and the eldest lady asked, "Why is it so early today?" ”
Brother Hong replied in a regular manner: "At the end of the year, the doctor will let me come back after reading the exam papers." ”
The eldest lady asked, "How was the exam?" ”
Brother Hong didn't say anything, but handed the scroll in his hand to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady opened it and looked at it, and the paper was sentenced to a first-class sentence, and she immediately smiled.
Second Mrs. Xue saw some clues, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is blessed, and the second master will definitely have a future in the future." ”
After being praised like this, a smile appeared on the eldest lady's face, the atmosphere in the room was very pleasant, and the second Mrs. Xue looked at Rong Hua next to her from time to time, and Rong Hua also occasionally said a word to Mrs. Xue.
Mrs. Xue nodded again and again, and Rong Hua often lowered her head and smiled.
The eldest lady wanted to mention Yaohua a few times, but she couldn't open her mouth when the words came to her mouth.
As soon as Mrs. Xue entered the door, she asked about Rong Hua, and no one mentioned Yao Hua from beginning to end. The last time the Liao family went to see Mrs. Xue, I didn't know what they said, but the Xue family actually avoided Yaohua like this.
After a while, Mrs. Xue and Second Mrs. Xue got up to say goodbye, and the eldest wife, Brother Hong, and Rong Hua sent the two ladies out of the second door.
The eldest lady said, "I'm going to the old lady, you all go back."
Brother Hong looked at Rong Hua on the side, as soon as the eldest lady left, he could stay and talk to the eighth sister, although he was so calculating in his heart, he was looked at by Rong Hua's gaze, and took a step forward and said, "Mother, I will go to see grandmother with you." ”
The eldest lady hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Bring your exam papers with you, so that your grandmother will be happy and happy." ”
Rong Hua looked at the backs of the eldest lady and Brother Hong, and smiled slightly, Brother Hong is the only heir of the Tao family, Yaohua is always going to get married, Brother Hong didn't know how to get close to the old lady in the past, and he won't be in the future, although Yaohua grew up beside the old lady since he was a child, after all, he did something that disappointed the old lady, and then there is only Brother Hong, who is still young and can cultivate feelings.
If Brother Hong can take the initiative to get close, it will be even more different. Brother Hong's studies are "slightly successful", and the Tao family will still rely on him in the future.
The eldest lady took Brother Hong into the main house of the Millennium House.
The old lady was talking to Rui Qing in the house, and when she saw the eldest lady coming, a smile appeared on her face, and when she saw Brother Hong, her smile deepened, and she hurriedly asked the two of them to sit down.
After saying a few words, Brother Hong showed the exam paper to the old lady, and the old lady squinted her eyes and took the exam paper to a little farther away to read it carefully, and praised Brother Hong, "Sure enough, it's good." Brother Hong sat beside him, and the grandfather and grandson talked for a long time, and even the eldest lady couldn't interject.
The topic is inseparable from the things of the ancestors of the Tao family.
How many people and jinshi have been raised in the Tao family, although the old lady has talked about it before, but now she still talks about it again, but she still does not reduce her enthusiasm, and Brother Hong also listens to it with relish.
At the end, the old lady said: "Your great-grandfather ordered Tanhua, but that is all in the past, and the Tao family will rely on you in the future." ”
Brother Hong nodded, "Grandmother don't worry." ”
The old lady smiled and touched Brother Hong's head, "Good boy." ”
Brother Hong seemed to think of something, and his face sank suddenly, "I went to see the second sister, and the second sister's illness doesn't seem to be getting better, can you change Lang Zhong to heal?" ”
Brother Hong said Yaohua, the old lady frowned, and there was a sad look in her eyes, "This Lang Zhong surnamed Wang has seen your second sister's illness for the longest time, and I think he knows best, so I still invited him over." ”
Brother Hong said: "Some time ago, I don't know which Lang Zhong prescribed the medicine to the second sister, isn't it okay?" Why don't you go and ask him over? ”
The eldest lady took over the conversation, "That's the imperial doctor in the palace, it was your eldest sister who invited me before, although we went to invite it this time, but we don't know when we can come." ”
Brother Hong said: "I just want to go to see the eldest sister and ask the imperial doctor by the way." ”
The eldest lady said: "Then how can it be done, your eldest sister is also sick, I heard how to get this." ”
Brother Hong said: "I'll just go and see first, if the eldest sister is doing well, I'll bring it up and let that Langzhong come over again." If the eldest sister asks, I will say let Lang Zhong see if the second sister is completely fine. If the eldest sister is in a bad situation, I won't say it. ”
The old lady thought for a while, "It's okay, if your eldest sister asks, you will say that your second sister's medicine is finished, let Lang Zhong come over to change the prescription, and prescribe a few more doses of medicine to stabilize it." ”
Brother Hong nodded.
The eldest lady was a little hesitant, "Mother, Brother Hong is still young after all." ”
The old lady said: "It's not too young, a man can come and go at the age of twelve, and now Brother Hong is eleven years old, besides, just go and see what is wrong with his sister." ”
And so it was settled.
Brother Hong came out of the old lady's house after dinner, and then left the girls and went to Ronghua's courtyard.
"Sister," Brother Hong took Rong Hua's hand and spoke in the blue yarn cupboard, "The old lady praised me and gave me a jade pendant." It is said that my grandfather used to wear it. As he spoke, he untied it from his waist and showed it to Rong Hua.
Jade represents good luck and is the most important thing to wear with you, not to mention the relics of your grandfather.
Rong Hua's smile deepened and asked, "What else did you say?" As he spoke, he picked up his tea and drank it.
But he was snatched by Brother Hong, and Brother Hong begged: "Sister let me drink first"
Rong Hua smiled: "Your tea hibiscus will be brought up in a while." ”
Brother Hong opened the bowl and drank it, "What's the matter with my sister's drink." ”
After drinking tea, Brother Hong continued: "Grandmother talked about the second sister. I said, the second sister is recuperating now is the most important thing, if not, I will invite a few more Lang Zhong to watch. My grandmother said that there was something good about Langzhong, and I took the opportunity to propose to go to the Yicheng Marquis Mansion to see the eldest sister. After speaking, he looked at Rong Hua with a smile, "Sure enough, as my sister said, my grandmother agreed, and asked me to go to see the second sister for a while, and asked the second sister if she had anything to say to the eldest sister." ”
Rong Hua smiled, "How are you going to talk to the eldest sister?" ”
Brother Hong took Rong Hua's hand, "I naturally want to listen to my sister." ”
Rong Hua took out a book from the cabinet and handed it to Brother Hong, "There is one more thing, you have to go later, pick up the eldest brother-in-law when he is there, quietly don't make a ......noise," he said and attached it to Brother Hong's ear and instructed clearly.
Brother Hong raised his eyebrows, "If he still has a sister in his heart, he will definitely not have that kind of thought." Said and smiled, "Sister, don't worry."
PS:100 pink plus more in it.,Tonight to continue the code.,I don't know if I can add 120.,If it's too late, it's definitely not up......
It is advisable to wait until too late.
In addition: although it is not explicitly stated, it is settled.
What will be the result of the trip to the Marquis of Hongge's Mansion?
