Chapter 142: Lessons from the Past (Part II)

Rong Hua came by car, and the Jiang family's carriage greeted him halfway through. (Niu Wen ~ Net)

The subordinate stopped the carriage, and the mother-in-law outside replied: "Young lady, it seems that Mrs. Jiang is here." ”

Rong Hua suddenly had a little difference, the Jiang family had already sent the golden post over, it stands to reason that she would just take the car over on time, how could she go to great lengths to welcome her.

Rong Hua opened the blue curtain with his own hands, and sure enough, he saw Mrs. Jiang, Rong Hua was just about to get out of the car, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Madame, sit down." ”

Rong Hua invited Mrs. Jiang into the car.

Mrs. Jiang's expression seemed to be different from when she was in the Tao family, the previous affinity had become the current politeness and caution, her eyes were lowered, and a smile appeared on her round face, "Because I want to go to another courtyard, I am afraid that the Hou Mansion family will not know the way, so I will come to pick it up." ”

Rong Hua said with a smile: "Originally, it was Madame's host, I should have been a good guest, but I made Madame so troublesome." ”

Madame Jiang pursed her lips and smiled: "Madame, don't be polite to me. ”

The carriage soon arrived at the Jiang family's courtyard, Mrs. Jiang helped Rong Hua out of the car, only to see that the Jiang family all came out, standing respectfully aside, and when they saw Rong Hua, they saluted together, and Mrs. Jiang only smiled on the side. Said that it was a church meeting but did not invite others, the pavilion corridor and garden in the garden were built very beautifully, and the furnishings in the flower hall were also very exquisite, they seemed to be brand new and no one had used them, although the other courtyard was not big, but it was all available, and Mrs. Jiang accompanied Rong Hua to see the entire garden.

The troupe invited by Mrs. Jiang was waiting for the costume backstage, and the head of the class directly presented the play list to Rong Hua, but Rong Hua refused to start the play, "The guest is as good as the host, and Mrs. will arrange it." ”

Mrs. Jiang smiled: "If Mrs. doesn't order a show, I won't be able to watch it." ”

The class owner also explained in advance, but he just bowed down to present the play list.

Rong Hua just ordered a few times.

After a long time, Rong Hua always felt a little strange, it was not that she had never been to other homes as a guest, but she was not like Mrs. Jiang, which made her feel that the host was not like the host or the guest.

Rong Hua stayed to eat, and there were a few things in the meal that she loved to eat very much on weekdays.

Before leaving, Mrs. Jiang smiled and asked people to bring things to Rong Hua, "Madame, don't shirk, they are all things that are not worth it." Saying that, let people open the box, and it was really not a valuable thing, but it was a rare thought.

From beginning to end, neither of them mentioned the Tao family.

On the way back, Jinxiu said: "Madam, it's not strange for you, the people in the garden even know my name." ”

It seems that Madame Chiang has asked people to inquire.

"The descendants of the Jiang family also said that this garden is the first time to welcome guests."

Shuntianfu Yin and Hou Ye don't seem to be ordinary acquaintances.

The carriage hadn't arrived at Xue's house yet, but it stopped, and before Jinxiu could open the curtain and ask the reason, Rong Hua heard Chen's mother's voice outside: "Young lady, it's my Chen Gui's family." ”

Rong Hua looked at Jinxiu, Jinxiu got out of the car and invited Chen's mother to come up.

As soon as the curtain opened, Rong Hua saw Chen's mother outside.

Chen's mother looked obviously different from usual, wearing dark clothes, her hair was a little messy, her face was dull, and her lips were chapped with a few rivers of blood.

Chen's mother got into the car, but she was embarrassed to sit on the brocade cushion, and only said, "The slave is dirty." "After all, after staying in the yamen of Shuntian Mansion for a night, although I carefully cleaned up my body before I came to see Rong Hua, I was still afraid of soiling Rong Hua's things.

Rong Hua said: "Mother Chen sat down and talked. ”

Chen's mother sat down at this time, her legs were tightly closed, the whole person looked extremely restrained, a few snow-white hairs were exposed on her sideburns, and the fingers on her knees were tightened, and she was a little embarrassed.

Rong Hua thought that that night, Mother Chen had been standing beside the eldest lady, facing the life and death of others, she didn't do anything but was very calm, watching all this happen.

How did it feel then than it does now?

"Eighth aunt and grandmother, the slave maid only came out of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion today."

Rong Hua didn't seem to be the slightest surprised, just nodded. Mother Chen gradually confirmed her thoughts, and the eighth aunt and grandmother had long known that she would not come out of the Shuntian Mansion so easily.

She has followed the eldest lady for many years, but she has also gone through wind and rain, but she didn't expect this iron yamen to be so gloomy, after entering, it seems that she will not see the light of day, the more she walks inside, the more cold she feels, saying that she is here to testify, but it is no different from the trial of prisoners, after writing the testimony, the yacha also looked at her fiercely, and re-questioned several important testimonies, she always felt that something had been discovered.

Today, when the officials asked her to come back, she cautiously asked, "Is there nothing else to do?" ”

Listening to the screams of the prisoners, the whole person was like a frightened bird, and she had to ask something to be at ease, so she asked again, who knew that those yacha were impatient, pushing and shoving and shouting at her, and she staggered and fell to the ground in shock.

Chen's mother said: "Eighth aunt and grandmother, this matter is over?" Will Shuntianfu ask again? ”

Rong Hua said: "Where can it be so easy, maybe I have to let Chen's mother go over a few times." ”

Mother Chen suddenly became even more panicked, "The slave maid has lost half her life for one night in the Shuntian Mansion, if there are a few more times, how can you get it, can the eighth aunt and grandmother say ...... to the Shuntian Mansion?"

Rong Hua said lightly: "I just came back from the Yin family in Shuntian Mansion, this is already the best way," he said and glanced at Chen's mother meaningfully, "Mother Chen, don't worry, you are by your mother's side, and your mother has repeatedly explained that as long as your mother is there, she will never treat you badly, but there are some things that cannot be revealed like this, after all, it is a life lawsuit." ”

The more I hear this, the more it looks like ...... Especially the cold appearance of the eighth aunt's grandmother.

Chen's mother said: "The slave maid has been by the eldest lady's side for so many years, and she has served wholeheartedly, without any other thoughts. After speaking, he looked at Rong Hua expectantly.

Rong Hua nodded and only said, "I know." ”

Chen's mother suddenly felt like she had a mouth and couldn't speak clearly.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Xue's mansion, Rong Hua got out of the car, Chun Yao greeted him, and was a little surprised to see Chen's mother, and stepped forward and shouted, "Chen's mother." ”

Chen's mother looked over, and the woman beside Chunyao shrank back.

Chen's mother recognized that the woman was the person in Langzhong's house, and the woman talked to the eighth aunt and grandmother, and before leaving, the eighth aunt and grandmother asked Chunyao to bring a lot of things to the woman.

Mother Chen was even more restless in her eyes, and sat in the side room for a while, and went out in the middle to relieve herself, and heard Mu Hibiscus and Jinxiu say, "Madame is pitiful for her." ”

Jinxiu said: "What's so pitiful about that? ”

Hibiscus said: "It has nothing to do with them. ”

Jinxiu sighed at this time.

Mother Chen panicked, the eighth aunt and grandmother are still so kind to others, the same thing, what is the difference between her and Na Langzhong? They all testify for the Tao family, but how can there be such a big difference? Langzhong's eight aunts and grandmothers feel pitiful, why is it that they are not as good as before when they come to her?

Thinking about the past few days, the family reminded her, "Don't be stupid, you still have to think more about some things, although you have been with the eldest wife for so many years, and the master and servant have a deep relationship, but you are also a person with a large family." Don't get into trouble just because you are the person next to the eldest wife, the eldest lady and the eldest master are all ruthless people. ”

She doesn't know what that means? Although the eldest lady treats her well, she also watched the fate of those aunts in the house by the eldest lady's side, what can't the eldest lady do in order to keep her status? Isn't the fifth miss of the year ...... At that time, where will there be a little bit of affection.

Over the years, she has become more and more careful around the eldest wife. Not only for herself, but also because she is no longer alone, and she can't be like before if she has more worries in her heart.

No matter what the eldest lady did, since this matter fell on the eighth aunt's grandmother, if the eighth aunt and grandmother could look up to her, maybe ......

Mother Chen calmed down, entered Rong Hua's house, and saluted Rong Hua again, "Eighth aunt and grandmother, do you remember that there was a deacon named Wang Bao on the Zhuangzi where your aunt and grandmother married?" ”

Rong Hua didn't expect Chen's mother to suddenly mention this matter.

"I remember her, my mother said that he was the most powerful deacon in Zhuangzi, and he had been in charge of Zhuangzi for some years."

Chen's mother nodded, "There is no better understanding of the affairs of the Zhuangzi than him, the old lady's Zhuangzi relies on Zhou Da, but the Zhuangzi managed by the eldest lady depends on him," After a pause, Chen's mother said again: "I heard that he recently married an outer room outside, you also know that this thing is not allowed, the eldest lady is sick in bed these days, and she has no time to ask." ”

Rong Hua understood what Chen's mother meant.

Chen's mother spoke for a while, then got up and respectfully withdrew.

Rong Hua looked at Chen's mother's cautious appearance, although Chen Gui's family did not say what happened back then, it seemed that they had already had the heart to move closer to her.

As long as Chen Gui's family has this thought, they are not afraid of one day telling the whole story of that night.

……

As soon as Tao Zhengan returned home, he saw Yaqin waiting for him on the path, and knew that there was something going on in the eldest lady's house.

Tao Zheng'an entered the eldest wife's room, and the eldest lady sent her subordinates down, and whispered a few words in Tao Zheng'an's ear.

Tao Zheng'an's eyes widened suddenly, "How can Chang Ningbo's family agree?" How long has Chang Ningbo's eldest * grandmother gone, and you don't know, how did you think of marrying his family now? ”

The eldest lady said: "You can set the date and don't go through the door first." ”

Tao Zhengan said: "Since you are not in a hurry to pass the door, let's wait until the 100th day of the big * milk has passed." ”

The eldest lady suddenly became anxious, "Yaohua is not young anymore, and it is always bad to drag it all the time." ”

Tao Zhengan coped with some impatience, "Wait until I think about it carefully." So saying, he got up to leave.

The eldest lady remembered one thing, "I haven't been getting better for a day and a half of my illness, so it's better to let Yaqin be a maid in the room, and the master doesn't have to go to sleep in the study." ”

Tao Zhengan hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Just do what you want."
