Chapter 5: The Eldest Lady (II)
The old lady Tao was tired of the family banquet, and the eldest lady accompanied her back to the residence, settled the old lady, and the eldest lady also returned to her house.
After entering the house, the eldest lady called Chunyao, "Have you been to the second sister's house today?" How is the second sister's complexion? ”
Chunyao replied while taking off the stone blue and silver mouse cloak for the eldest lady, "I've been there, the second lady looks good, and I'm lying on the bed reading a book at that time." ”
The eldest lady showed a kind smile, and her words always revealed very distress, "This child, you know that you are precious to her books." When the weather is good, I don't know how to go out and go around, even if I want to recuperate, I have to see some light from time to time. The eldest lady walked to the window as she spoke, looked at the sky full of stars, and nodded, "It seems that the weather will not be wrong tomorrow, so I will go over early in the morning and take her to the courtyard to relax." ”
Chunyao admitted: "Yes." ”
The eldest lady said, "Now go and take a look, and send some fruit, for the eldest sister will have to go to her sister in a moment." ”
Chunyao was busy from below.
The eldest lady entered the Tao Mansion and gave birth to two girls and a boy, the eldest daughter Shuhua, the second daughter Yaohua, the eldest son Brother An, the eldest daughter is fine, the second daughter accidentally fell into the lotus pond when she was a child, the person was rescued, the body was soaked in the cold pool water, has been riddled with cold diseases, rarely out of the house in autumn and winter, the eldest son Brother An was born in good health, but unfortunately he was born a stupid, and found many doctors to see, but there was no improvement. Only the second aunt and the fourth aunt gave birth to two young masters successively, but they died before they were one year old.
After two times of losing a child, Master Tao was sad and no longer used various methods to ask for a child, who knew that this would be better, ten years ago, Mrs. Sixth Aunt gave birth to a son, Master Tao was overjoyed, and named this baby son Brother Hong.
The sixth aunt's wife fell ill when she gave birth, and Brother Hong's sixth aunt was gone in less than two months, so Brother Hong passed on to the eldest wife as a son-in-law.
The eldest lady cleaned her hands, drank two sips of tea, and dismissed the other subordinates, leaving only Chen's mother to speak.
"This tea was brought by the eldest sister, you can taste it too." The eldest lady left another cup of tea on the table for Chen's mother.
The eldest sister never gives the things that the eldest sister respects to others, and Chen's mother is a little flattered, "How good is this." ”
The eldest lady smiled, "Just eat yours." ”
Chen's mother was brought in by her from her mother's house, and she has always been by her side, there are many people in this house, even if it is a girl who grew up in front of her since she was a child, she can't believe it, only this person brought from her mother's family, she is not suspicious.
Over the years, Chen Gui's family has shared her worries, and the eldest lady remembers that night a few years ago...... After that incident, Chen Gui's position in her heart was even deeper.
The eldest lady said: "Shuhua came back this time, and her heart is even heavier. ”
Chen's mother nodded, "The slave maid also saw it, thinking it was because of the heir." However, my wife has already asked Zheng Langzhong to take a look, there shouldn't be any problems, and the sixth aunt and grandmother haven't eaten yet......"
The eldest lady's eyes flashed, and Chen's mother hurriedly stopped.
Xiao Liu looked for Zheng Langzhong to take medicine secretly, where could he hide it from her eyes, if it wasn't for her acquiescence, Xiao Liu would not have given birth to Brother Hong.
The eldest lady closed her eyes, she had already calculated, if Xiaoliu gave birth to a boy, she would come over and raise it herself, and she would be a sister-in-law in the future, but she didn't expect things to be beyond her imagination, Xiaoliu was a thin life, and he died early, and it was even more logical for Brother Hong to become a sister-in-law.
It can be regarded as God helping her, a smile appeared on the corner of the eldest lady's mouth, God will always be on her side, which is why some people are blessed and some people are born rich.
Although there is an example of the sixth aunt before, the eldest lady is still worried, "Then you can't be unprepared, in case you can't get pregnant, you have to have a countermeasure." ”
Mother Chen has long known her master's thoughts, and the eldest lady has spent a lot of time and pains for her sister-in-law over the years, for fear that the eldest sister will repeat the mistakes of the past, and let alone the family ......business of the Hou Mansion, "Otherwise, choose another one from the mansion to go over, they are all of the same blood, and they are closer to the eldest lady after giving birth to a child." ”
The eldest lady didn't speak for a long time, "And the Shangshu Mansion, you also have to help me get to the heart, do the two things together, and look for candidates." ”
Mother Chen responded, turned her head and thought about it, and leaned over with a smile, "Madam, I have a candidate, she is beautiful, and she is ...... with your heart" The eldest lady glanced at her, and she continued: "Look at Miss Six......"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a crisp crashing sound, followed by the sound of a tea bowl shattering.
Mother Chen raised her head and saw the two maids who bumped into each other, "Two bastard hooves, I don't know who the soul let take away, rough hands, one day I will drive you out of the house one by one to be clean." ”
The two maids hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Chen's mother trained them again, before letting them get up and talk, Xiangqiao is in the sixth lady's house, the eldest lady's room is busy, today temporarily came to help, just now the kitchen made a cup of soup for the eldest lady, when she sent it in, it happened to be hit by Yaqin who ran in, the tray was overturned to the ground, and the soup juice was spilled everywhere.
Chen's mother came to ask Yaqin again, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" ”
Yaqin knelt on the ground and hurriedly replied, "Madam, Jinxiu has a magic barrier, and Miss Eight is gone." ”
The eldest lady's hand holding the tea lid suddenly paused, and she looked at Yaqin, "What's going on?" ”
Yaqin said: "Jinxiu was in the courtyard just now, she said......" Yaqin hesitated, not daring to continue.
The eldest lady said, "You just have to tell the truth." ”
Yaqin dared to say it as it was, "Jinxiu said that Miss Eight was gone, she went to look for Miss Eight, and as a result, she entered Miss Five's house," Yaqin paused, "She also said that she saw ...... in the house."
Yaqin swallowed and foamed, "I saw Miss Five." ”
The eldest lady's eyes jumped heavily, "What are these words?" I wanted to stand up, but who knew that when I put my hand on the table, I knocked over the tea bowl, and the tea spilled down and drenched her.
Mother Chen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward with the two girls to wipe the eldest lady, "Don't worry, Mrs., no one has been to the fifth lady's house for a long time, and it is normal for some cats and dogs to make a nest inside. I'll go over and take a look first, and ask a doctor to prescribe some medicine to suppress her shock, and it must be fine. Wait until tomorrow when she comes to her senses, and the wife will send her again. ”
The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, Jinxiu, this girl is quite stable, how could such a thing happen, the eldest lady glanced at Yaqin, "What does it mean that Miss Eight can't find it?" Could it be that you can still lose a big living person? ”
Yaqin was kneeling and did not dare to speak.
The eldest lady stood up, "Go, bring Jinxiu to me, I'll ask what the hell is going on." ”
Several girls dragged Jinxiu into the eldest lady's room, Jinxiu knelt on the ground, her eyes were hollow, her face was pale, she paused on the ground, and she was silent.
The eldest lady glanced at the girl beside her, "Go, give her some hot water to slow down." ”
Jinxiu was so frightened that she was sweating, and she tossed outside for a while, the cool breeze blew through her clothes, invading her muscles and bones, and now a little hot tea hurriedly lowered her stomach, suppressing the cool air, making her cough suddenly, coughing for a while, and the whole person seemed to be a lot more sober.
The eldest lady asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Jinxiu's mind was blank, and the eldest lady's commanding tone made her panic, and she subconsciously said, "The slave accompanied Miss Eight to watch the lights in the garden, and later...... Miss Eight said that it was a little cold, and asked the slave to go back to get the cloak, and when the slave and maid went back, she met a girl, so she told her to go and get the cloak, and she went back to find Miss Eight by herself. ”
"The slave walked back, as if she saw Miss Eight walking into Miss Five's yard."
The slave didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly chased after her, and when she reached the yard of the fifth lady, the eighth lady was gone. The slave was afraid that Miss Eight would enter Miss Five's house, so she shouted in the courtyard, but no one answered. ”
The slave and maid boldly pushed open the door of the house.
She is also stupid, if Miss Eight is here, she will definitely respond to her.
At that moment, she was really dizzy.
As soon as she thought of the scene she saw when she approached the house, Jinxiu suddenly shivered, "And then ...... And then...... Slaves...... I saw Miss Five. She raised her head, her eyes frightened and vulnerable, "Madam, it's true, the slave sees ......"
Many people saw Jinxiu's look, and they all believed it a little, and the timid couldn't help but be afraid.
The eldest lady said in a loud voice, "Nonsense, where did the gods and ghosts come from." ”
Chen's mother accosted on the side, "It's so dark, it must be your hooves that are wrong, but here you are scaring people with red mouth and white teeth, and my wife has long ordered that you are not allowed to go to that courtyard, and you are taking these things as a deaf ear." ”
"Mrs., Mrs...... Too, what the slave said is true...... The slave really saw it...... I don't believe you're looking for two people...... The fifth lady was there......" said as she knelt earnestly at the feet of the eldest lady.
"Hold her for me, I think this hoof is crazy." Chen's mother shouted sharply.
The two girls hurriedly stepped forward and held down Jinxiu, Jinxiu's body was restrained, she had something in her heart but couldn't say it, and she fainted in a hurry.
The eldest lady said: "Come and find Lang Zhong to have a look, this girl is probably fascinated by phlegm." ”
Everyone hurriedly carried Jinxiu into the ear chamber.
After a commotion, everyone returned to the house to listen to the errand, and the eldest lady suddenly raised her head, "What are you doing here?" Didn't you say that Miss Eight couldn't find it? Don't go to Miss Eight yet. ”
As soon as the eldest lady said this, the eldest girl Rui'er, who was waiting for a reply outside the door, hurriedly came up, "Madam, Miss Eight found it, she met the uncle in the garden and was tripped by the uncle." ”
The eldest lady raised her voice and asked, "Brother An?" ”
Ruier said: "Uncle is playing in the Spring Garden at night, maybe there are lights everywhere in the house today, the uncle looks liked, and he drilled out of a hole in the corner, at first we didn't know, we were looking for it in the garden, and then I came outside, and saw that the uncle was pestering a young lady, and I asked to know that it was the eighth miss who entered the house today, so I sent the eighth miss back." ”
The eldest lady said, "What about Miss Eight? ”
Ruier said, "Wait outside." ”
The eldest lady hurriedly said, "Call in." ”
