Chapter 193: The Jealous Woman (Part II)
Rong Hua and Chun Yao went all the way to Mrs. Xue's house, the maid named Ruxuan had been injured for Mrs. Xue, Rong Hua asked lightly, "How old is Ruxuan?" ”
Chunyao said: "I don't know the specifics, it should be bigger than me and Jinxiu, and about the same as Xiangyu."
That is to say, it has long been the age of marriage, and it should have been released, but it has never been ...... She thought that Mrs. Xue had already arranged for Ruxuan's marriage, and with the previous loyalty to protect the lord, Mrs. Xue should find a good family for her, and prepare a slightly generous dowry, so that she can stay by her side as a housekeeper mother in the future.
Haiyu was arranged by the old lady to accompany the capital, Jingyue herself proposed to stay with the old lady, only these two big girls around Xue Mingrui are slightly special, she also inquired, neither Haiyu nor Jingyue are through the room, so she didn't take it to heart, since she is not even a real girl, she has no need to talk to them, and she doesn't have to worry too much about Haiyu going to accompany the capital, after all, the girl who has not been carried through the room for so long by the Hou Ye's side, even if she has the opportunity, what can she do?
There is only this section of Ruxuan.
After marrying into the Xue family for so long, she has some understanding of the old lady and Mrs. Xue.
If Xue Mingrui didn't say it, she wouldn't be able to see that Xue Mingrui was not Mrs. Xue's biological child, and she could regard the heirs born by her husband and others as heavier than her own children.
Rong Hua narrowed her eyes slightly, she was born by her aunt, and this situation is very common.
Far away, don't say, "Tao Zheng'an married a seven-room concubine." The old lady of the Xue family married as a princess, and the fourth master was not born to a concubine? Let's talk about Xue Mingrui......
Will there be a day when she will also drink the tea that has been brought to her? I don't know how to think of this, she always feels a little uncomfortable.
Many of the books she read taught women how to behave, and one of them was not to be jealous, which hindered her husband from taking concubines and was harmful to the continuation of the family.
Chunyao inquired about the news that Ruxuan and the maids had risen. tongue, also picked up scissors to cut the long one, but fortunately was stopped.
That's why Mrs. Xue is looking for her, right?
She goes to Mrs. Xue's room every day, but she rarely sees Ruxuan's face, maybe since the last time she encountered the party, Mrs. Xue didn't treat Ruxuan as an ordinary maid.
Chunyao was worried, "Young lady, do you want to excuse yourself and don't go, it's always good to avoid it first, after all, Ruxuan is ......"
Parry? Shirk and say you're not feeling well? Mrs. Xue could not bring a maid to her room to visit the sick.
She didn't come to Xue's house on the first day, so there was no need to use such a negative method, besides, asking her to go over was nothing more than wanting to hear what she could say, if she avoided it, wouldn't she give up the opportunity to be the first to speak?
Chunyao bit his lip tightly, but there was no other way but to follow behind Rong Hua.
Rong Hua entered the courtyard, and the maid in Mrs. Xue's room immediately came out to salute and stretched out the curtain.
The room was a little too quiet, Mrs. Xue sat on a chair and drank tea" was obviously a little absent-minded Seeing Rong Hua come forward and salute, he raised his eyes and looked to the side, "Sit down." ”
Rong Hua spoke first, "How did my mother sleep last night?" ”
Mrs. Xue remembered that Rong Hua specially sent An Shenxiang last night, her brows relaxed slightly, and she nodded, showing a smile, "Just ordered!" I fell asleep after a while. ”
Rong Hua said: "Imperial Doctor Huang said that my mother's headache will improve as long as she rests more." ”
Mrs. Xue nodded, "I slept well last night, and I seem to feel much more relaxed when I wake up in the morning." "At this point, I was about to say something else.
Rong Hua smiled again: "Just now, my mother's family sent a little letter, and I said it to make my mother happy." ”
Rong Hua said: "The third aunt's baby has already sat firmly. ”
Mrs. Xue came back to her senses, the corners of her mouth curved, and her face suddenly couldn't hide her joy.
Rong Hua said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law is thinking about going to see the third aunt with her mother one day." Mrs. Xue clasped her hands together, with a pious face, "Amitabha, it is finally the Buddha who estimated your third aunt last time, I thought it was ......", speaking of her sister's body, Mrs. Xue suddenly remembered that anti-thief rebellion, she and her sister were so embarrassed, thanks to Rong Hua rushing to come, and later Ming Rui saved them, Rong Hua and Ming Rui's fate was set at that time.
Rong Hua talked about Xiangyu by the way, "The old lady has appointed the son of the Yu steward, and I read Xiangyu's dowry list just now" The long list is not worse than that of ordinary people marrying a young lady. ”
Mrs. Xue nodded, "Xiangyu has been by the old lady's side for a long time, and she is smart and clever, the old lady will definitely not treat her badly." ”
Rong Hua said with a smile: "It seems that after Xiangyu gets married, she will come back to be a housekeeper mother in the future." ”
Rong Hua deliberately looked at the room.
"Like the Yu steward, although he is a family member in the house, he is a big steward outside, and his status is different, if his descendants are born again in the future, how can the family not help." It is not that there are no descendants of the descendants who have left their nationality and gone on a career in office, and they are generally the children and grandchildren of the chief steward.
In other words, there is not only one way to be an aunt.
There is a fundamental difference between the main room and the concubine room, even the concubine room is not much higher than the maid's status, and some are even inferior to the maid in charge.
Mrs. Xue seemed to hear something, and looked sideways, and Rong Hua's eyes met it calmly.
Rong Hua should have heard about it, otherwise she wouldn't have said such a thing on the topic, she looked over, Rong Hua's eyes were bright, and his expression was firm and he didn't dodge her.
Mrs. Xue said: "There were originally two big maids in Mingrui's room. Now that the two big girls are not in the house, it is natural to increase the number of people.
In the side room, Ruxuan quietly walked out and looked at the inner room, she bit her lip and looked at the young lady's expression, since the young lady married the Xue family, she has always been well-behaved and filial to the lady, especially during this time, the Hou Ye is not at home, the young lady often comes to accompany the lady, before the young lady is not married, many people said in front of her, the young lady's status is not high, and she will get along well in the future, after the young lady enters the door, it is really like this, she is kind to the subordinates, and she is good, and the lady is a little similar, maybe it is true......
Now that Madame said these words to the young lady, the young lady should be relieved, Ruxuan was slightly happy in her heart, and then looked over.
Rong Hua nodded, "Just now Jingyue also said that she wanted to stay with the old lady", "said and smiled," the old lady asked me to choose a few of the children born at home to go to the house to run errands" I thought, "The big girl in my house is enough, it is better to pick a few young ones this year, and in the future, when the old people around me are released, they can be replaced." ”
Ruxuan was slightly surprised, but she didn't expect the young lady to refute the lady's meaning in person.
There is no shortage of big girls around her and Xue Mingrui, and even if it is these big girls, she does not plan to be selected to be a room, but to be released to match people, and the girls who are selected to be in the room are generally accompanied by his wife.
As long as you serve your wife well, you will definitely have a good home in the future, so why do you have to come to make a room.
Lord Xue looked at Rong Hua and didn't speak yet.
Someone had already opened the curtain and brought tea in.
Ruxuan bit her lip and entered the room, Mrs. Xue in the seat was a little surprised, Ruxuan served the tea to Mrs. Xue, and served another cup to Rong Hua, the hand serving the tea was a little trembling, and deliberately paused in front of Rong Hua, and did not put it directly on the table.
Rong Hua didn't seem to see it and didn't reach out to pick it up.
Ruxuan's whole person became more and more stiff, and she secretly raised her head to look at Rong Hua, but saw that there was a sharp gaze in her gentle eyes on weekdays, mixed with contempt and disappointment.
When she was in the Tao family, Ruxuan sacrificed herself to protect the lord, leaving a deep impression in her heart. But I didn't expect this girl to be like this...... Determined to be a concubine, she said so much that she didn't dispel the idea.
Or does this girl think that she is a soft personality and can impress her as long as she persists?
Such stupidity.
It took a long time for Ruxuan to put the tea on the table, her eyes were red, she bit her lip and lowered her head.
A tear fell on the low table next to Rong Hua.
Mrs. Xue looked at Rong Hua, "There are some things that you can't ignore and consider, it's not good that there is no one in the room to help Lin." ”
Finally discarded and said.
If she nodded yes, Mrs. Xue would be able to follow the conversation, she refused, but it was this kind of tone of elders teaching juniors.
Rong Hua blushed and said: "I just got married, and I can't figure out a lot of things, and I didn't let the maid interfere in the affairs of the room, I did it myself, just to serve the Hou Ye well, so that the Hou Ye can run errands outside with peace of mind", "continued" "The Hou Ye likes to be quiet, even the maids on night are sleeping in the outermost room." "Even if she doesn't say it, Mrs. Xue should know.
After Rong Hua finished speaking, he raised his head and met Mrs. Xue's eyes, "Don't worry, mother, I will arrange everything in the room." ”
Mrs. Xue nodded, "That's right, everything is fine at home, and Mingrui can feel at ease when he is outside." ”
Rong Hua smiled and nodded, and changed the topic to talk about the third aunt Liao's matter, "I want to make two small clothes for the third aunt, I don't know what style to make, so my mother will help me pick one." The two small clothes are for her and Mrs. Xue.
Mrs. Xue said: "You think about these things the most. ”
Rong Hua suddenly thought of something, pursed his lips and laughed, "I should make another pair of small socks, my mother should give small socks." ”
Mrs. Xue was stunned and said, "No, I forgot that there is this custom." ”
The two of them talked for a while before Rong Hua got up and went out.
As soon as Rong Hua left, Ruxuan came out of the side room and walked straight to Mrs. Xue and knelt down, crying non-stop, "Madame's heart Ruxuan knows, it's just ...... Ruxuan didn't want to embarrass Mrs. anymore, so Mrs. asked Ruxuan to cut her head and be a sister-in-law. Mrs. Xue sighed and asked Ruxuan to help her up, "The young lady's words are not unreasonable, you let me think about it." ”
As soon as Rong Hua came out of the courtyard, there was a heart-rending cry immediately behind him, Rong Hua looked at Chunyao, "Go and inquire, who told Ruxuan what to do."
