In the long room, Cui Ying poured a cup of ginseng tea for Yu's.

Aunt Su, who was doing needlework on the side, said: "Sister doesn't sleep well, ginseng tea is refreshing, let's make some chrysanthemum tea." ”

Yu closed his eyes and rubbed the corners of his forehead: "I haven't slept peacefully for several days, and if I don't eat this, it will be even more difficult to stay up at night." ”

Aunt Su thought about it, put down the needle and thread and walked up, stroked the sides of Yu's sideburns with both hands, and said softly, "I'll help you rub it." ”

He Qian strode in with a gloomy face, and when she saw the two of them like this, she couldn't help but stop. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him for a while, he laughed to himself: "The eyebrows are considerate to Mrs., and Mrs. is now satisfied?" ”

Yu Shi opened his eyes and sneered out in his nose: "Master's words can lift me up!" What am I! Living such a happy life, there are the concubines of the grandfathers waiting inside, and the relatives of the grandfathers and relatives outside chasing after the name, what qualifications do you have to be unhappy? However, the old man was satisfied, and he was newly appointed as the imperial history of the three products, and he added a little daughter who is like a flower and jade, which can be described as very beautiful! ”

He Mingming flicked his sleeves and got up: "My dignified daughter of Lord Yushi has become my own maid, thanks to you for doing it!" ”

Yu sneered again: "If you are unwilling, you can mention it to the old lady!" And there is no one in your way! ”

He Qian was trembling with anger, pointing at her for a long time without speaking.

Aunt Su hurriedly said: "Sister is angry! The old man didn't have to say a word. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at him.

He Mingming snorted heavily, flicked the curtain and went out the door.

The little maid Huang Xing poured tea and came in, and when she saw that the person had left, she couldn't help but wonder. Yu's anger did not subside, and he smashed the ginseng tea in his hand with water: "There are no rules!" Which taught you to look around in front of your master? Drag it out and fight! ”

Poor Huang Xing was smashed out of a hole in her head, and she was dragged out and slapped a few times.

Aunt Su didn't dare to speak. Yu Shi stiffened his face for a long time before he said, "You go down." ”

The glass has not been dripping all day, and at night there is already a little false fire rising. I had no choice but to run to the door: "Please pour me some water." The mother-in-law guarding the door was chattering and ignored her. Liuli had to say it again, and the mother-in-law with a pomegranate hairpin on her head glared: "What kind of water to drink?" Stay honest! Someone will take you to the housekeeper at dawn! ”

Liuli was stunned: "Why do you want to see the housekeeper?" ”

Another mother-in-law in a green jacket said with a smile: "The eldest lady said, I can't bear to let you be left behind, and you have to raise a cat and dog in the house, so let you stay and be a rough maid!" ”

Pomegranate Flower muttered: "The old lady stayed well in the courtyard of the big house, eating wine and chattering, and had no choice but to be sent here to blow the wind, and you dare to send Lao Tzu to serve tea and pour water!" Dream on you! ”

The night breeze whistled through the curtain, and the sky was already darkened by thick clouds. Ruri stood for a moment, then slammed the door shut.

Aunt Su returned to the house and leaned against the door for a long time before her eyebrows felt a little warm. Hold the candle and walk to the dressing table, and look at the mirror for a long time, until a pair of beautiful eyes in the mirror ooze some red threads, then put down the candle with his face. The face is still beautiful, but not younger. A thirty-eight-year-old woman, no matter how well maintained, is not as charming as an eighteen-year-old.

She waited twenty years, but she waited for nothing but to grow old.

Lu Wei walked in: "Is my aunt going to rest?" ”

Aunt Su was stunned, shook her head and said, "No, I have to go out again." ”

Wei Wei was silent, picked up the Yuehua robe and put it on her, and looked at her sideburns.

There is no moonlight tonight, and the flowers and trees under the porch are particularly rich. When Aunt Su arrived at the old lady's study, the old lady was watching Min Hua practice calligraphy. Aunt Su bowed, and Min Hua quickly got up and called "mother".

The old lady said, "Why are you here?" Didn't there always be a mother-in-law to pick it up in the past? Aunt Su smiled: "The weather is cold, and there is some bloating, so I will take a walk." ”

The old lady took the tea and blew, and Aunt Su took a small porcelain jar from Lu Wei and handed it over: "This is my own pickled hawthorn, which helps to consume food, so I brought a little here." ”

The old lady nodded, but she didn't seem to have the heart to taste it. He looked at the pages and said, "Say whatever you want." ”

Aunt Su glanced at Su Wei, Lu Wei understood, and took Min Hua out, and there were two small servants in the other room, and they also retreated.

Aunt Su said: "If there are some unpleasant words in the eyebrows, my uncle will dare to say it when he agrees." ”

The old lady said, "If you are also here for that girl, there is no need to say it." ”

Aunt Su said: "No, the eyebrow sound is for our master." She raised her head: "Qingyun's new deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, this is a good thing, the family should be more supportive and compassionate inside and outside the family, and maintain his reputation, but has my uncle ever thought that Qingyun had lost a pearl in the sea outside Beijing ten years ago, and now this child is back, and he has been taken into the house to pray for the old lady, and there have been rumors outside this matter." If this child is really reduced to a house slave, what will happen to the outside world?

"In this matter, Qingyun has something wrong, but there is an accident, the mistake has been cast, we can't make the mistake and make Qingyun fall into the quagmire! Isn't my uncle afraid that someone will take advantage of this to attack Qingyun in the court? ”

When Aunt Su said the end, she was already a little excited, and her eyes were slightly red. The old lady looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed: "It's hard for you!" Only you, the child, think about him in every way! ”

Aunt Su shook her head and lowered her eyes to wipe away her tears.

The old lady got up and paced twice, and said, "According to you, how should you place her?" ”

Aunt Su pondered for a while and said, "If you let her out according to her own will, it would be inappropriate for her to let someone coax her to do something unfavorable to He Mansion if her children's family is talking nonsense outside." According to the eyebrows, it is better to let her live as a young lady, in this way, one is to block the mouth of the good deed, all the He Mansion has a benevolent and beautiful name, and put an end to the possibility of her fabricating nonsense outside, and our house is not short of her to eat, but it is just a dowry at that time. ”

The old lady snorted with her hands, noncommittal. For a while, he said: "This is also feasible, but my reputation for several generations of He Mansion is going to be ruined on this 'concubine'!" ”

Aunt Su said: "Don't you accept her and demote her to a house slave, and your reputation will be preserved?" What's more, did my uncle forget that Min Er is also a concubine? ”

Later, her voice lowered, with a deep loneliness.

The old lady couldn't bear it between her eyebrows, and sighed: "It's been a pain for you all these years, I know, if it weren't for Qi'er, you wouldn't have come to talk about this." - It's getting late, you go back first, I'll go see your aunt. ”

Aunt Su sent Min Hua back to her room, and carefully asked her about the medication in the past few days before returning to her house with Lu Wei.

He Lingming was waiting in the room, and when she saw her come in, she stepped forward to untie her robe. Aunt Su raised her lips and said, "I shouldn't be here for the past two days, why is the master here?" He Mingming was embarrassed for a while: "I think I haven't been here for a few months, I came to see you and talk." ”

Aunt Su asked Lu Wei to make tea, and while personally uncovering the gold-painted plum blossom wide-mouth urn on the cupboard, she took a fine porcelain plate and filled two kinds of preserved fruits.

He Qian tasted a piece of dried apricots and said: "I was at the old lady's place just now, and the old lady called me to go next door, asked me about some political affairs, and said that I wanted to recognize the glass and return to the ancestors, is it what you said?" ”

Aunt Su's hands playing with the plate paused slightly, and she said: "How can the concubine have this ability, but when she picked up Min's child, she chatted with her uncle by the way, and the master didn't want to go out and talk nonsense." ”

He Qian nodded and said no more. He said, "I know what you want." If Yu has half of your gentleness and thoughtfulness, I will be content! When I come to Japan, it will become a big deal, and I will definitely compensate you well. ”

Aunt Su smiled without waves: "The master has already been ranked in the third grade, and he will definitely be promoted again in the near future, and it will naturally be a big thing in the future." ”

He Mingming let go of her and stood up, with a sudden incomprehensible meaning between her eyebrows.
