Chapter 24: The Meaning of the Locust Tree
Su Wanqiu obviously felt that the eldest lady's mother and daughter had a meaning for Su Yunwan, she glanced at the eldest lady with a little surprise, but thinking about it, in the past, when Su Yu returned home, she would first stay in the eldest lady's Fu'an Courtyard, but this time the eldest lady annoyed Su Yu, and until today, Su Yu has never stayed in Fu'an Courtyard, but has been resting at Aunt Xie's Xingfang Courtyard.
Although the eldest lady did not show it on her face, she was already very dissatisfied with Aunt Xie in her heart, and even disgusted with Su Yunwan.
"Since the fourth sister said Wutong, why don't you talk about what is good about Wutong?" Su Wanqiu smiled lightly and asked.
"As the old saying goes, there are clouds, the phoenix sings, in the high post, the sycamore is born, and the sun rises in the sun." Su Xueyi was not annoyed at all, and there was a faint smile in her beautiful eyes, "The third sister must have heard of this sentence, isn't it a good sign that the phoenix soars in the thousands of miles, and it is not a good sign?" ”
After that, Su Xueyi looked at Su Yunwan again and asked with a smile, "What does the fifth sister think?" ”
Su Yunwan's fingers couldn't help clenching, but she immediately let go again, lowered her head slightly, and said softly and obediently: "What the fourth sister said is true." ”
"It's annoying to drop the bookbag after learning two verses." Su Yunqian was straightforward and spoke unabashedly, Su Xueyi's aggressive appearance made her very unhappy, she and Su Yunwan were both concubines, although they were not born to an aunt, but they would help this timid sister somewhat.
Everyone is used to seeing Su Yunqian and Su Xueyi arguing, and it is not strange to see this.
The old lady raised her eyes to look at Su Wanqiu and asked, "Late autumn, what do you say should be planted?" ”
"Late autumn agrees with the words of the fifth sister, and also thinks that the locust tree is better." Su Wanqiu said with a light smile.
"Since the third sister agrees with the fifth sister, she always has to give a reason, right?" Su Xueyi raised her eyebrows, she couldn't get used to Su Wanqiu, and she couldn't get used to Su Wanqiu helping Su Yunwan.
Su Wanqiu's tone was flat, and he said unhurriedly: "I heard that in ancient times, locust trees were planted in the court of the Zhou Kingdom, and the three princes stood under the locust trees when they saw the Son of Heaven. ”
The corners of Su Xueyi's lips tugged slightly: "The third sister said that she laughed, since it is to be planted in the old lady's yard, I am afraid that this kind of implication is inappropriate." ”
"Fourth sister, you have to listen to me." Su Wanqiu's voice was cold and clear, "It is precisely because of this that until now, there have always been locust trees planted in the courtyard among the people, looking forward to the meaning of the three princes of the descendants." ”
The old lady couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "This is not bad. ”
Su Xueyi's complexion changed, and the eldest lady coughed lightly and said with a smile: "What the late autumn said is right, the locust tree is indeed very suitable." ”
Su Xueyi knew that the eldest lady didn't want her to quarrel with Su Wanqiu in front of the old lady, so she had to press the tone in her heart and said with a gentle smile: "The third sister is still knowledgeable, but Xueyi is not good at learning." ”
On one side, Su Yunwan gently reached out and held Su Wanqiu's hand, she knew that Su Wanqiu was helping her speak, with a look of gratitude on her face, Su Wanqiu turned her head to look and saw that Su Yunwan was smiling delicately, so she also smiled slightly.
After all, the old lady is old, in her heart, Feng Qiwu's omen is naturally not as good as that of the third prince of the descendant, Su Wanqiu is very aware of her grandmother's mentality, so she said so.
The eldest lady carefully looked at Su Wanqiu from head to toe, and she didn't expect Su Wanqiu to have such a ability to figure out people's hearts.
After a few more gossips, the old lady scolded everyone and dispersed, but Su Wanqiu stayed alone.
Since her rebirth, Su Wanqiu has regularly greeted the old lady every day, massaged and kneaded the old lady, and relieved the old lady's pain.
The old lady closed her eyes and leaned back, and Su Wanqiu reached out and gently kneaded the acupuncture points on the old lady's head.
There is a calming incense on the side, and the incense mist slowly rises, and the air is quiet and peaceful.
"Late autumn, I can only wronged you in the previous matter." The old lady sighed softly, what she said naturally meant that the eldest lady used Qingyan to frame her, although she had the heart to punish the eldest lady, but the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Chen Mu is now living in the Hou Mansion, what would this matter look like if it went out.
Su Wanqiu's tone was gentle: "Don't worry, old lady, Wanqiu understands it in her heart." ”
The old lady nodded: "It's better for you to be a child, not like them who make a lot of noise all day long, which makes the family uneasy." ”
The old lady used to be the decisive mother of the Hou Mansion, but since the death of the old Hou Ye, her health is not good, she can't be angry, and she worships the Buddha all the year round, so her temperament gradually calmed down, and she turned a blind eye to what happened in the house, but this does not mean that the old lady does not know.
Su Wanqiu skimmed over the topic and said with a soft smile: "Old lady, it will be your birthday in a few days, and I don't know what gift the old lady wants in late autumn?" ”
"You girl, since it's a gift, why don't you ask me first." The old lady smiled faintly.
"In late autumn, I'm afraid that the old lady who sent me off won't like it, so I naturally have to ask first." Su Wanqiu smiled, with the delicate meaning of these girls of this age.
"You can send anything." The old lady said softly, closed her eyes again, Su Wanqiu's technique was very gentle and skillful, which made people involuntarily relax, and she added, "If you have the heart, you can copy a copy of the Buddhist scriptures." ”
"The granddaughter wrote it down." The corners of Su Wanqiu's lips were slightly curved, and her smile was light.
Su Wanqiu and Chu Yu were in Rongsong Courtyard, and Bang Yue was left in Moxiang Courtyard, she went into Miss's room to clean as usual, and was walking to the makeup room, but found that the drawers were locked.
She was slightly stunned, and then an indescribable strange emotion permeated her heart, the young lady's move was nothing more than a suspicion that she was stealing something, otherwise why should she lock it up? Mademoiselle really didn't trust her so much......
After Bang Yue came out of the main house in despair, she saw three or five little girls in the yard getting together to talk and laugh, Bang Yue barely cheered up and reprimanded: "You guys don't work hard, what are you all doing here?" ”
The most lively girl, Zi Silk, said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Miss Bangyue, we heard about something about Miss, and we are curious, do you want to listen to it?" ”
"Chew on the root of your tongue, be careful that Miss will sell you!" Bang Yue frowned, the people in the house are most taboo to talk about the rights and wrongs of the master, these girls are still so blatant, it's really fatal.
"Girl, don't worry, listen to me first, Miss's begonia hairpin was lost for no reason, do you think it's strange? But it's really strange that the young lady didn't even ask, or even pursue this matter. ”
The girl on the side, Cardinal, interjected: "I think that Miss seems to be covering up this matter for someone, otherwise how could she not even care if she lost something." ”
