Chapter 125: Yesterday's Covenant (Part II)
Chapter 125: Yesterday's Covenant (Part I)
The carriage stopped at Xue's mansion, and Xue Chongyi, Mrs. Xue, and the second wife were already waiting outside the mansion.
Rong Hua got out of the car first, and then helped Mrs. Xue down, Xue Chongyi immediately stepped forward, and naturally took over Rong Hua and the old lady were talking happily.
The second wife also smiled on the side, "My mother just entered the palace, and there are already people at home who can't sit still, and I can't wait to pick it up at the palace gate, and my mother has not entered the palace once or twice, and some people are ......still worried about it" Saying that, she picked up a handkerchief and covered her mouth and smiled, "I knew that my mother should have taken him with me, and our family is so quiet." ”
The old lady glanced at Xue Chongyi and smiled kindly, "I think the noisiest person in this is you." ”
The second wife smiled even more happily, "Look, look, what I say, it's all for my son, and those of us who are daughters-in-law are miserable." ”
Mrs. Xue couldn't interject, she only followed behind, and was about to raise her head to look away, when Rong Hua stopped and walked to her side.
Mrs. Xue's face froze, and seeing the smile on Rong Hua's face, Mrs. Xue's heart also felt a little warm.
"I passed by a time-honored store just now, and I bought a hairpin for my mother." Rong Hua said in a low voice.
The old lady and Rong Hua took the same carriage, and Rong Hua would not stop and buy things on his own initiative, which can be seen that the old lady agreed.
"What are you going to do with those things for me?"
Rong Hua smiled and said, "My mother looks good." ”
Mrs. Xue smiled slightly, "You kid, how can you buy things dressed like this." ”
Rong Hua said: "The old lady has been to that shop before, and the mother-in-law of the car went to see it, and it happened that there was no one inside, and the shopkeeper took out the things and sent them to the carriage for us to see." ”
Second Mrs. Xue listened in front, her face a little gloomy.
When a few people arrived at the old lady's house, they had dinner together, and Xue Chongyi ordered someone to make perch soup to honor the old lady.
The old lady smiled and said, "Although the season is wrong, it tastes fresh." ”
Rong Hua glanced at the smiling second wife, the second room was really not easy in the past two days, only Xue Mingwei did not show up to please the old lady, Xue Mingbai sent the cook, and the second uncle Xue Chongyi sent fresh sea bass, and the eyes of the family were all fixed on the old lady, for fear that they would not get what they wanted.
After eating, the old lady was tired and wanted to rest, and everyone dispersed.
Mrs. Xue took Rong Hua and left first, and the second wife also found an excuse to take the first step. Xue Chongyi waited for the old lady to go into the inner room to rest.
The old lady was lying on the soft couch, Xue Chongyi took a cup of tea and put it on the low table, and talked with the old lady, "Did the queen mother say anything when she entered the palace this time?" ”
The old lady closed her eyes and recuperated, and it took a long time to open her eyes and sigh, "The imperial concubine is always there, and we don't have time to say anything else." ”
Xue Chongyi was suddenly a little disappointed. If it weren't for the old lady who had grasped the direction of the wind through the palace over the years, where would his official have done such a smooth ride.
The Queen Mother is the biological mother of the Holy One and understands the Holy Temperament the most, and generally the Queen Mother can't be wrong in what she says.
The old lady said: "No one can discuss the establishment of a prince in vain, this is what the saint has reprimanded. ”
Xue Chongyi said: "That being said, what the Holy Lord said is a false discussion, and it has been a few years since he said this, and the current situation is not the same as before, and during this time, the Holy Lord asked the warlock to refine the golden stone elixir...... You can imagine it......"
The old lady sank her face, "These words are just listened to outside, but they are not easy to come out of your mouth, you must know the truth that disaster comes from your mouth." ”
Xue Chongyi hurriedly said, "Mother said yes. This is not the first time he has hit a nail on the nail on this topic.
"Did the queen mother say that the saint will accompany the capital, and which prince will stay in prison?"
The old lady sighed, "The Queen Mother said that Prince An is not feeling well, and I don't know if I can drive with him." ”
Xue Chongyi was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, "My son also heard about it, and he was about to prepare a big gift for Prince An." ”
The old lady glanced at Xue Chongyi, "It doesn't matter if the etiquette is not heavy, as long as the heart is there." ”
Xue Chongyi said with a smile: "How does my mother know that Prince An's Mansion has been crowded these days, and my son has not seen many regular gifts, they are all heavy gifts, and he has not expressed anything at this time, I am afraid that he will ...... in the future." Then it will be late. ”
The old lady said: "I don't know much about these things, you can just watch and do it."
Xue Chongyi happily agreed, and then retreated.
Back in the house, Mrs. Xue was already impatient, so she sent the maid out of the house, and kept chasing and asking, "What the hell did you say?" Tell me about it. ”
Only then did Xue Chongyi say the old lady's words as they were.
Second Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "I know that Mingbai's inquiry is right, otherwise why would I urge you to ask, it's good now, the big house is lukewarm with Prince An because of Su Xiyao's matter, we find a way to lean on this big tree, and we are afraid that there will be no shade in the future?" ”
Xue Chongyi looked at his wife, opened his mouth and smiled.
Second Mrs. Xue said: "There is another happy event to tell you. ”
Xue Chongyi hurriedly listened to it.
Second Mrs. Xue sat triumphantly on the chair, and Xue Chongyi hurriedly poured tea and handed it to the second wife.
The second wife pursed her lips and smiled with satisfaction, "Let me tell you, I invited Baoshan to Chang Ningbo's house again, and this time Mrs. Chang Ningbo did not refuse immediately." ”
Xue Chongyi said: "So, can this family affair be done?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his chest, and his smile continued to the bottom of his eyes, "Our family's happy events are one after another."
The second wife picked up the tea bowl, her long nails shook slightly, "You also have to earn a life for me to come back, the yellow mouth has not faded and dares to wear gorgeous clothes to swagger through the market, don't you know where everyone wears that clothes look good." ”
Xue Chongyi hurriedly smiled on the side.
Rong Hua put the newly bought hairpin on Mrs. Xue, and Gu's mother next to her said with a smile: "The young lady just knows how to buy things, and the lady is so beautiful wearing this hairpin." ”
There was a slight smile on Mrs. Xue's face.
After letting the people in the house retreat, Mrs. Xue raised her face again and asked Rong Hua, "Who bought the silver money for the hairpin?" ”
Rong Hua bent down and smiled from the mirror and said, "Don't worry, it's the silver money taken by the daughter-in-law." ”
Mrs. Xue nodded, thinking about today's events, "Although what you said has some truth," she didn't want to say too much about the second wife's actions today, "But since ancient times, the elders and young have been orderly, and those who inherit the title are the eldest sons of the long house, and the second room can't break the rules even if there are more calculations." We can't lose our duty because of the second room, and we can learn from them to be evil. ”
Rong Hua lowered her head and said, "Mother is right, daughter-in-law never dares to have many ideas," said and raised her head and looked straight into Mrs. Xue's eyes, "Daughter-in-law just wants the family to live in harmony and happiness, and everything else is not so important." ”
Mrs. Xue laughed again, and the corners of her eyes were curved into a line, "You kid is also a kind-hearted person." ”
She's telling the truth. She really just wants the happiness and harmony of her family's life, and once she is redone, she knows the preciousness of life even more, and she has already had two lives, why can't she look forward to more happiness? But this does not mean that she is weak, since she is eager to get it, she must also have the courage to take responsibility, otherwise she will not be where she is today.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious than before.
Before Rong Hua left, Mrs. Xue specially asked her how Mrs. Tao's illness was.
Rong Hua smiled and said, "It's a lot better." ”
The eldest lady's illness will not attract much attention from others, but I am afraid that if Gu Ying and Shuntianfu find out, it will also affect her.
With a family like that, her reputation will be damaged to some extent.
Mrs. Xue asked Gu's mother to take out the jewelry box, and also picked a hairpin from it for Rong Hua.
Like the one Rong Hua gave to Mrs. Xue, they are all hairpins made of jade. Rong Hua wore it on his head, and the little green sandwiched in the green silk looked particularly gentle and beautiful.
Mrs. Xue also praised, "It's so beautiful." ”
Rong Hua couldn't help laughing, and said, "The daughter-in-law also gave Yishuang a pair of earrings, and I will send them to her in a while." ”
Mrs. Xue said, "It's hard for you to think about her in everything," she said and sighed, "Yishuang, this child is heavy-hearted, and he is timid and doesn't like to talk." ”
Rong Hua smiled, "I went to see my sister a few times, and I think my sister is a smart person, why didn't my mother invite a female gentleman to teach my sister to read?" "The last time she talked to Miss Xue Liu about the seventh master's reading, she also mentioned that she gave the seventh master a set of books, and at that time she felt that the fifth lady seemed to be very interested in books.
Mrs. Xue's eyes flashed slightly, "Yishuang never mentioned it, and besides, there is no such suitable female gentleman." ”
It didn't seem that she was unwilling to let Miss Five study, Rong Hua tried to say: "My daughter-in-law has learned some, otherwise let my daughter-in-law teach my sister and see if my sister is willing to learn." ”
Mrs. Xue looked at Rong Hua and smiled again, "Since this is the case, you should teach Yishuang first."
Rong Hua came out of Mrs. Xue's room, went straight to Xue Yishuang's boudoir, gave a pair of earrings and talked about reading, Xue Yishuang, who had hung his head, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes showed some joy.
Rong Hua was afraid that she would be timid, and she would inevitably be restrained when she was with her, so she said softly: "If Miss Sixth is willing to listen, you will also call her to accompany you." ”
Xue Yishuang had a smile on his face, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”
This is the first time that Xue Yishuang took the initiative to call her sister-in-law when Miss Six was not present, which is a big improvement. Rong Hua curled his lips and smiled.
Back in his room, Rong Hua hurriedly called Chunyao over.
Without waiting for Rong Hua to ask, Chun Yao stepped forward and whispered, "The people of Shuntian Mansion seem to have found a seal of the Fifth Miss, so they believe that the corpse is the Fifth Miss's." ”
Seal? The things she had been unable to let go of finally had an answer.
It is impossible for the Tao family to take the seal and bury it with her.
Either someone stole her seal and threw it in a mass grave, or that seal was fake.
If neither of these ...... Rong Hua only felt that the blood in her whole body suddenly poured into her heart, and she also dropped a seal.
The seal accidentally fell to the ground and broke a corner, Zhao Xuanhuan picked it up but said that the seal was exquisitely engraved, and she refused to return it to her, she didn't dare to entangle with him more, so she could only leave in a hurry.
The seal fell into his hand.
Today I did a day's car, and finally returned to my hometown in Hebei, tomorrow at five o'clock in the afternoon, and I have to go back to the northeast to see the house, adults and children are tired to death, all cold.
