Chapter IV

Mrs. Wu and Wu Changjun exclaimed, Wu Mingqing glared at the two of them, and ordered Mrs. Wu to send someone to get the marriage contract, the two families tore it up in front of everyone, and wrote the marriage contract with Zhou Yunxia again.

When everything was over, Zhou Yunxue leaned on the soft couch, Lychee handed over a cup of hot tea, and the grapes also brought some snacks.

Zhou Yunxue took the tea, took a sip and said, "Can the traces be cleaned up?" ”

The two maids in the hall were not there just now, she let them go to the aftermath, and it would not be beautiful to leave a handle.

Lychee and Grape glanced at each other and said, "Miss, in fact, this matter was only done thanks to the second master." ”

Zhou Yunxue was stunned, "Second uncle? ”

She remembered that the second uncle in her previous life disappeared inexplicably after two years, and her father was going to send someone to look for it, but for some reason her grandmother stopped her, for this second uncle, she only knew that she was fifteen years old, and she picked it up when her grandmother was incense, but on weekdays, she wore a silver mask to show people, to be honest, she really hadn't seen the true appearance of the second uncle when she was so old.

"yes." Lychee said, "According to the young lady's arrangement, we helped the eldest lady into the house to light the incense, and the intimate sister led Wu Gongzi into the house and said that she wanted to come out to get the decanting soup, everything was fine, but the first time I did this, several of us were scared, the fire was extinguished with a shake of the hand, and the oil was poured out. ”

Zhou Yunxue stared at the two guilty maids in front of her, she was almost seen by someone for a bad thing, and she didn't know what this second uncle meant, originally she thought about it, according to her previous life, Wu Changjun must have drunk a lot of wine tonight to defile her soul, and she also ordered someone to bring out her grandmother's collection of wine today, if he goes out and blows the wind, he will get drunk, and he will definitely let people help him to sober up, and his confidant can lead people to Zhou Yunxia's guest room, so that even if he checks, he will be excused because the maid does not know that there is someone in the house, because who would have thought that the eldest lady would not go back to her own house but lie in the guest room, It's just out of the second uncle, an unexpected person, bad things, bad things, but tonight, the Wu family didn't even check this matter, I'm afraid that the Taishi Mansion has been unable to make ends meet, in the previous life, she took her mother's dowry to marry Mrs. Wu and let her run the house, she was still happy at that time, but what she didn't expect to start was a bottomless pit, and she didn't have a mother's dowry in this life, but she wanted to see how their Wu family was going to be.

The two maids looked at their young lady's gloomy face and were nervous in their hearts, but they heard their young lady say, "Since he helped us, it means that the second uncle will not say it." "But it's very unpleasant to have a handle in the hands of others.

"It's okay, you go down and prepare water, Miss, I want to bathe."

Lychee and Grape saw that their young lady softened their faces, so they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts and went down to prepare water, and for some reason, when they found that the young lady was not smiling in the past two days, they inexplicably had a murderous aura.

Since the incident of that night, the Taishifu came to the door on the second day to exchange Geng posts, and two months later, he married someone.

There was peace in the Hou Mansion, Zhou Yunxue went to the old lady every day to ask An to accompany her for breakfast, and then went back to the house under the eyes of several sisters.

Today is still as usual to go to the grandmother to say goodbye, on weekdays she was the first to arrive, today the sisters in the house have cleaned their hands on the table, the old lady waited for him to ask for peace and then happily pulled to the side to sit.

Seeing that his granddaughter had arrived, the old lady ordered someone to set the meal, and after a few people had breakfast, they rinsed their mouths, and then sat and chatted with the old lady.

The old lady took her hand, turned her head to Mama Feng and said, "Go and take out a few pieces of cloth and let the ladies choose." ”

Zhou Yunxia, Zhou Yunshuang and Zhou Yunyu all showed joy, the peach blossom banquet is coming, these concubines are not as good as Zhou Yunxue, the clothes are cut according to the season of four sets per person, if you want to cut, you have to pay your own silver, and the monthly case is only twenty taels, unless your aunt's family is richly subsidized, otherwise there are only a few sets of clothes to wear all year round.

Mama Feng led the little maid to take out six horses and put them on the table, it was Suluo yarn, this kind of fabric is cut into a dress because it is lighter, and when the breeze blows, it will be like a fairy falling in the wind, if it is a peach blossom banquet and wears it with petals, it will be a little more beautiful.

The three of them looked straight, Zhou Yunxia got up and picked up a horse, stroked it gently, the silky feeling passed in her hand, with joy on her face, she looked up and said to the old lady, "This is really Su Luo Sha, where did Grandmother get it?" "There were six horses.

Zhou Yunshuang and Zhou Yunyu also got up and took one each to feel the softness, the surprise in her heart was self-evident, Zhou Yunxue only raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw some cloth, although Su Luo yarn is very expensive, but it is not unusual for her, in her previous life, thanks to the queen's mother, she Yun Silk Brocade and Fenghua Silk were worn, not to mention that she remembered that in two days, Aunt Jin would bring the Yun Silk Brocade that the queen rewarded her.

The old lady saw that everyone took a horse and couldn't put it down, but her granddaughter didn't even look at it, just drank tea, and said, "Xue'er will also go down and pick two." ”

"Let the sisters pick first, and the granddaughter can wear whatever she wants."

Hearing her words, everyone looked at her one after another, didn't she usually choose before she chose others, and the domineering old lady didn't listen to it.

For everyone's gaze, Zhou Yunxue did not have any fluctuations on her face, she still smiled lightly, pointed to one of the batches of pink Suluo yarn, and said to Zhou Yunshuang, "Second sister, that pink horse matches you better than the yellow one in your hand." ”

Zhou Yunshuang was flattered, her second sister has always only been good with the eldest sister, and she used to kindly remind her not to give all the good things to the eldest sister, but she didn't expect to provoke her scolding, and she hasn't spoken to her since then, and she nodded when she met, but she didn't expect to take the initiative to talk to her today.

lowered his head and hid his thoughts, picked up the pink Suluo yarn, and said to Zhou Yunxue with a smile, "The third sister has a good eye, and my sister will listen to you." ”

Zhou Yunxue's eyes smiled softly.

"Third sister, what color does Yu'er wear?"

Ten-year-old Zhou Yunyu blinked her eyes and asked Zhou Yunxue boldly, her aunt had always told her not to mess with the third sister when she was a child, but every time she went over to ask for peace when her mother was there, the third sister would play with her and give her delicious pastries.

Zhou Yunxue saw that Zhou Yunyu was looking at herself a little cautiously, so she smiled and said, "Hmm.. Let the third sister think about it, it's just tender yellow, Yu'er must be beautiful when she wears it. ”

Zhou Yunyu grinned, happily put down the horse in his hand and hugged the tender yellow Suluo yarn, and said in a soft and glutinous voice, "Okay, Yu'er also listens to the third sister." ”

Zhou Yunxia looked at Zhou Yunxue, her eyes flashed with unhappiness, she also looked at the pink one, every year Zhou Yunxue grabbed the beautiful cloth first, and then gave it to her, and now it was pointed out to the second sister in front of her grandmother.

Zhou Yunxue just knew that she had a crush on the pink horse, so she deliberately pointed it out, not to mention that Zhou Yunshuang really looked good in pink.

The old lady saw that the sisters were so harmonious, although she didn't like the concubine, but they were all granddaughters, and the family was peaceful, so she smiled and said, "This piece of cloth can only be cut into one piece of clothing, and the skirt can be used in Luobu, and grandmother also has a few horses." ”

As he spoke, he was about to tell Mama Feng to fetch it, but Zhou Yunxue hurriedly stopped it and said, "Grandmother, there are not six horses, and two horses per person is not right." ”

The old lady frowned: "What about you?" ”

"Grandmother forgot, every year when the queen of the peach blossom banquet didn't send cloth to her granddaughter?"

Every year the queen would send cloth, but she didn't let her go to the banquet, after she said this, the old lady also remembered, so she glared at her, turned sideways and pretended to ignore her, and said, "Then grandmother doesn't worry about you, let the queen mother worry about you." ”

"Don't, grandmother~"

Zhou Yunxue hurriedly took the old lady's hand and coaxed her, Zhou Yunshuang and Zhou Yunyu also laughed softly and persuaded her, only Zhou Yunxia smiled on her face, but her lips were pursed, and she was faintly white.

When Zhou Yunxue went back, Lychee was holding two Luo Bu in her hands, although it was not as good as Su Luosha, but she would not be able to brush the old lady's heart.

Zhou Yunxia went out of Fengyuan and went to Aunt Jing's Rouqing Garden angrily with a handkerchief, and Aunt Jing, who was leaning on the couch, straightened up when she saw her daughter's appearance, her willow eyebrows twisted slightly, and said, "How can you be so angry, the old lady scolded you?" ”

"It's not that Zhou Yunxue yet."

Zhou Yunxia was so angry that she threw the handkerchief in her hand to the ground, stepped on it with her foot raised, and scolded, "Little slut, little slut." ”

Aunt Jing looked at the Jinpa that was already covered with footprints on the ground, and scolded, "What do you look like, if you let the Wu family see your face, do you want to." ”

"Auntie!"

Zhou Yunxia stared at her red eyes and said, "Why can she Zhou Yunxue be loved by her grandmother and taken care of by the queen, she is also a young lady in the Hou Mansion, why does she have everything, I can only pick up the rest of her, why, why..."

After speaking, he lay on the couch and pillowed his hands in pain, a trace of loneliness flashed in Aunt Jing's eyes, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, raised her hand to caress her back, and said softly, "It's my aunt's fault, my aunt's fault..."

It's her fault, if she didn't insist on entering the Hou Mansion at the beginning, she wouldn't be a concubine, and her daughter wouldn't be inferior.

The crying and crying of Rou Qingyuan did not affect Zhou Yunshuang and Zhou Yunyu, they each went to find their aunts, and told them about today's events, Aunt Qiu and Aunt Mei sighed respectively, and told their daughters not to offend Rou Qingyuan, because their two aunts were brought up by Mrs. Hou, but now that Mrs. Hou is gone, Rou Qingyuan is ambitious, and Master Hou doesn't care, and the third lady was also a fool before and let them make trouble, although they seem to understand today's situation, but they can't take this risk, If Rou Qingyuan really goes up, their daughter's relatives are all in her hands, I hope the third lady really understands this time.

The two of them came out of their respective aunts' yards without their previous joy, even ten-year-old Zhou Yunyu already understood the situation of herself and her aunt, but she really likes her mother and the third sister, when she grows up, she can protect her aunt and protect her sister, and then the third sister will not be deceived and bullied by the big sister.
