Chapter 32: Transactions (II)
Mrs. Cai said: "It's all up to the in-laws' wife to arrange, as long as the eight characters match." ”
The eldest lady's frowning brows stretched slightly, and she finally had a smile on her face, and she was busy thanking Mrs. Cai, and as soon as she took a tea bowl and drank a sip of water, a maid pushed the door to report, "Grandma has had a miscarriage." ”
Rao was mentally prepared, but the water in the eldest lady's hand still shook and spilled out, and she didn't care much, so she took three steps and two steps, and walked towards the main house.
Mrs. Cai hurriedly asked people to invite Langzhong, and the whole Hou Mansion was busy again, Mrs. Cai did not forget to instruct, "Let people go to the door to stop the uncle, if the uncle returns to the house at this time, let him go elsewhere to rest first, don't come here, women have miscarriages, and they are always unclean." ”
Her own maid went out to intercept Zhao Xuanhuan and told her about the situation of the eldest grandmother.
Zhao Xuanhuan remembered the appearance of Shuhua after waking up from a nightmare last night, and couldn't help frowning, "Is Mrs. there?" ”
"My wife and my in-laws are here. Mrs. said please rest assured, when the matter is over, I will call you over. ”
"Which one is there?"
The maid said: "Li Langzhong, who is commonly used in the house. ”
Zhao Xuanhuan hesitated, nodded, and then turned around and went to the study.
In Shuhua's house, the maids were busy in an endless stream, all the windows were tightly closed, and thick curtains were put on the inside and outside.
According to Langzhong's prescription, he grabbed the medicine and boiled it, and the eldest lady took the medicine bowl, fed Shuhua with her own hands, and watched Shuhua fall asleep to rest assured.
Mrs. Cai waited for the eldest lady to come out of the house, went up and whispered: "My in-laws' wife has been busy for a day, and I have already asked people to prepare meals, so why should I eat some food." ”
The eldest lady sighed, "At this time, I don't have much appetite, and there are still many things waiting for me at home." I was relieved that Mrs. Cai was taking care of me here, so I went back first. ”
The eldest lady's tone was resolute, and there was no room for turning around, and Mrs. Cai no longer gave in and sent the eldest lady out in person.
As soon as I walked into the garden, I saw Brother You running after his nurse to play, Mrs. Cai came over and was spotted by Brother You, Brother You immediately threw himself into Mrs. Cai's arms like a milk swallow returning to the nest, and shouted, "Grandmother...... Grandmother ......" Mrs. Cai bent down and touched Brother You's forehead lovingly, "all sweating," and told Brother You's nurse, "Be careful, don't be alarmed." ”
The nurse squinted her eyes and smiled, and put the coat in her hand on Brother You, "I played with the uncle in the study just now, and I sweated." ”
Brother You also said seriously: "...... Brother-in-law...... Raise...... High. ”
Zhao Xuanhuan was actually at home, Shuhua had such a big thing, he didn't show up, and the eldest lady's face suddenly sank.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, the nurse covered her words again, "Uncle Huan wants to go out, but Brother You won't let him go, so Uncle has been playing with Brother You for a while." ”
Mrs. Cai glanced at the nurse, but the nurse was too busy to say anything more.
Mrs. Cai knew that the eldest lady was angry that Zhao Xuanhuan didn't go to Shuhua's house just now, and she was not to be outdone, "Xuanhuan likes children." The implication is that Shuhua did not give birth to a child for the Zhao family.
His face was deliberately gloomy, "Look at me, and say this ...... again"
Mrs. Cai turned her head and called Brother You again, "Hurry up and say hello to the old lady of the in-laws." ”
Brother You's clever eyes looked at the eldest lady, then stretched out a finger and pointed at the eldest lady, and popped out a word, "Tai......"
The eldest lady also smiled, "Brother You, good boy." ”
Returning Brother You to the nurse, Mrs. Cai accompanied the eldest lady while walking: "The winter solstice will be in two days, and the second and third rooms in the house should also come back, right?" ”
The eldest lady said: "No, the birthday of the old lady in the house is also coming." ”
Mrs. Cai seemed to suddenly remember something, "I heard that the third master of the Tao family has newly accepted the stepfamily?" ”
Before the eldest lady could speak, Mrs. Cai smiled and said, "I heard that it was the Liao family who made meritorious contributions when Emperor Gaozong succeeded to the throne. Mrs. Cai paused, "It's a coincidence, my sister and her uncle's sister, An Guogong's wife, are also extremely good." ”
The eldest lady was shocked, it turned out that Mrs. Cai knew everything she was thinking.
Sitting in the carriage, the eldest lady remembered her first miscarriage. That year, just in time for the second room to marry, the house up and down are all taken care of by her alone, she is afraid that the mother-in-law will not be happy enough, many things are done by herself, so overworked, the second room on the day of a good day, she ......
The mother-in-law not only did not say some comforting words, but blamed her for not taking care of the child in her belly, she was wronged to the extreme, if it wasn't for her husband holding her hand on the side, she didn't know how to survive this hurdle.
The mother-in-law also said that she would not let her husband come to see her, but in the end, she didn't shy away from it so much.
Shuhua has only been married to the Zhao family for three years, and it is already like this, Zhao Xuanhuan ignores her and doesn't say anything, and has the leisure to coax Brother You to play.
The eldest lady's eyes moistened again at the thought.
When she arrived at Tao Mansion, the eldest lady got out of the carriage and just walked through the corridors on both sides of the Hanging Flower Gate, when she saw Yanhua standing aside waiting for her.
The eldest lady sneered in her heart, in the end, it was the mother-daughter connection, Yanhua must have known about the fourth aunt's illness, she ordered that no one should be allowed to visit the fourth aunt, and Yanhua was naturally anxious. Yanhua is now asking her about the fourth aunt, although she can use words to temporarily stabilize Yanhua, it is inevitable that Yanhua will ask again, it is better to delay Yanhua for a few days.
The eldest lady made up her mind, and when she walked over, her face was already sad, and she stretched out her hand when she arrived in front of Advantech.
Yanhua held the eldest lady's hand in surprise, the eldest lady's hand was cold, and her fingertips were trembling slightly, Yanhua couldn't help asking, "Mother, what's wrong?" As soon as the words came out, the big lady's tears fell.
The eldest lady's voice was choked, and she was desperately suppressed, "Yanhua, your eldest sister has a miscarriage." ”
Advantech was stunned when he heard this, "Mother, what's going on?" ”
It's not good to talk outside, wipe the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, and pretend to be calm, Yanhua hurriedly walked to the eldest lady to help cover up.
The eldest lady took Yanhua into the house, sent the maids out, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "I originally thought that your eldest sister was pregnant, and the future life would be better, who knew that she would be so thin, she was still fine when I went to the Hou Mansion yesterday, and she ...... overnight" said and choked up twice, "I knew that Shuhua should not be allowed to marry ......" The eldest lady's words suddenly stopped.
Advantech understood the meaning behind this.
The eldest lady took a sip of tea, rubbed her chest sadly, and let out a long breath, "Let's talk something considerate," she said, pulling Yanhua into the suite warm pavilion at the back, and letting Yanhua sit down beside her.
"You are also older, and you will get married one day," the eldest lady said to Yanhua as if she was in her heart: "No matter where you marry in the future, your mother's family is your home, just like your third sister, although she is married far away, the family has not helped her less, and the family does this, not because I want you to have a support in the future, and you can live a more comfortable life." ”
Yanhua nodded, she understood the meaning of the eldest lady's words, having a powerful maiden family is more important than anything else, the more beautiful the Tao family will be in the future, the more they will be valued in the in-law's family, and in the future, they will not be able to rely on their mother's family no matter what.
Thinking of this, Yanhua had a cold war, saying that once he entered the Hou Gate, it was as deep as the sea, and the eldest lady's words revealed a sense of helplessness and regret.
Yanhua comforted the eldest lady for a while, and then served the eldest lady to lie down, and pulled the brocade quilt on the eldest lady, and then remembered that she was waiting for the eldest lady in the courtyard to ask about the fourth aunt's illness, but now that the eldest lady had closed her eyes as if she was asleep, she was not good at speaking again.
Advantech could only retreat lightly.
Yanhua returned to his residence, Xiangqiao saw that there was no one left and right, and quietly said to Miss Liu: "I heard Chen's mother say that when the Wang family came to propose marriage, it was not Wang Shangshu's concubine room, but Wang Shangshu's younger brother's main room. ”
Yanhua couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, it turned out to be the wife of the younger brother of the first grade, and then think about what the eldest lady said to her just now.
Xiangqiao's face was happy, "Miss...... It's a good family business. ”
Yes, it's a good family affair, she was still watching Miss Eight's jokes on the sidelines, ready to see Miss Eight's expression when she knew that she was going to marry someone as a concubine, but she didn't expect things to change like this.
However, the Yicheng Marquis Mansion that she had been thinking about before seemed so unfathomable, and even the eldest lady, the upright eldest daughter-in-law, ended up today. She has been in the house for so many years, and she has never seen the eldest lady so sad. It can be seen that the Yichenghou Mansion is not a good place to go.
She used to go for the name of the Hou Mansion and the warmth of her eldest brother-in-law, but now that she thinks about it, it is better to get some practicality, after all, she can get the status of a wife without fighting.
Xiangqiao also saw Yanhua's thoughts, "Otherwise, Miss...... You can't let Miss Eight pick up such a big bargain for nothing. ”
Advantech's eyes lit up.
"What happened to the fourth aunt?"
Yanhua was a little absent-minded, "I think it's really sick, if it's not sick, how can Lang Zhong come to ask for the pulse." ”
Xiangqiao said: "When I saw the fourth aunt yesterday, the fourth aunt was still fine. ”
Yanhua's heart was already full of the Wang family's family affairs, and he waved his hand impatiently, "Could it be that who would fabricate any disease?" She doesn't like to say anything in her heart, and I have to see a doctor. ”
Xiangqiao has been by the eldest lady's side for a long time, and knows that every step of the eldest lady's work is meaningful, and Miss Six trusts the eldest lady too much, and one day she will suffer in this.
