Chapter 338: A Pool of Deep Water
Cui'er asked people to invite Mama Fu, who was serving the big girl and Xiaohu, to the east wing, but she walked to the middle hall, intending to entertain Mama Fu here.
And the big girl and the little tiger have long forgotten the messy rules in the Dingguo Mansion, took off their shoes and climbed onto the kang, and had a lot of fun with Huiya and the two little ones.
"Mama Fu." As soon as Cui'er sat down on the Luohan couch in the hall, Xiangye gave Cui'er moisturizing honey water, and helped Cui'er adjust the cushions behind her to make her sit more comfortably. The incense sticks added some good charcoal to the brazier in the room, and the two of them stood respectfully on both sides of Cui'er, waiting for Mama Fu to come in.
Mama Fu didn't let Cui'er wait for a long time, but she had already arrived at the door of the East Chamber in a moment's time, but she was standing outside the door very well-behaved, waiting for Xiangmo to pass through.
"Miss, Mama Fu is here." Xiangmo, like Cui'er, admires people like Mama Fu very much, is very respectful and polite to her, and says to Cui'er after entering the house.
"Please!" After Cui'er finished saying this, she stood up and took two steps forward, making a posture to greet Mama Fu. This is not really saying that Cui'er wants to greet her, but Cui'er learned from her own mother and expressed her meaning with body language. What Cui'er wants to express is that she values Mama Fu very much and respects her.
When Mama Fu entered the room, she saw Cui'er standing in the hall to greet her, her heart moved slightly, and she hurriedly took two steps forward. Mama Fu knew in her heart that Cui'er's small gesture seemed inadvertent, but it meant that she had weight in Cui'er's heart.
"Mrs. Lian is well!" Although Mama Fu was excited in her heart, her face was not revealed at all, but the action of this salute was like flowing water, very harmonious and beautiful.
"Mama Fu is polite. You may be seated. Cui'er took two steps forward and helped Mama Fu's arm. looked at the fifty-year-old grandmother in front of her, but her face was fair and wrinkled, and smiled gently, but it was very embarrassing for Mama Fu.
"Thank you, Mrs. Lian!" Mama Fu stood quietly in place, watching Cui'er sit back on the Luohan couch with the help of the maid, and she sat on the prepared embroidery pier for a third of the time. There is a sense of satisfaction and respect. But Mama Fu still maintained her words and deeds.
In a place as dire as the Guogong Mansion. No matter when and where, prudence and not rashness are deeply rooted in the bones, and the most critical rule to save one's life.
After Tsui Er sat down. Looking at Mama Fu's every move, she said in her heart that the lady of Dingguo Gongshizi, that is, the grandmother of Da Niu and Xiaohu, gave her upbringing Mama is really not an ordinary person. This Mama Fu followed the two children to Ye Mansion a lot of times. Every time, it is so well-founded, so that people can see that the upbringing is extraordinary.
"These days, Mama Lao Fu has taken care of Yuehua and Chenguang. It's cold outside. I brought a brazier to my grandmother to roast and go to get rid of the cold. "Cui'er is sincerely good to this Mama Fu, not for anything else, just for this Mama Fu when she can't see it. Take care of the big girl and the little tiger a little more.
"This is the old slave's business, and he can't afford Mrs. Lian's praise." Mama Fu hurriedly stood up and replied, looking respectful but not afraid. Both of them are concerned about the big girl and the little tiger. Therefore, they are extremely polite in this room, but because the two are not familiar with each other. can't explain to each other, and there is alienation in this politeness.
Cui'er nodded with a smile, but didn't continue to speak, not because Cui'er didn't want to say, but because she couldn't ask directly about the plum banquet eagerly. Cui'er looked at the teacup, looked at the light-colored honey in the cup, and thought carefully about the plum banquet in the Dingguo Mansion.
In fact, according to Cui'er's heart, when she sent the big girl and the little tiger home, she wanted to bring some maids. After all, there are caring people by your side, even if someone wants to harm the two children, they have some power to parry, and at worst, there can be a person to deliver the letter, and Cui'er can feel much more at ease.
But the plan can't keep up with the rapid change, what a noble family is the Dingguo Mansion, where can the maid-in-law of a small family be allowed to enter? Even Qingshan and Cui'er are the ones who saved the big girl and Xiaohu.
The rules of the Guogong Mansion are big, Cui'er has no way, even Qingshan has no way, and even General Wude has no way. But General Wude couldn't bring Lian Qingshan's maid-in-law into the Guogong Mansion, but he begged his mother to arrange for Da Niu and Xiaohu to be trustworthy people.
This Mama Fu is the most trustworthy one among the trustworthy people, she is the dowry grandmother of the prince of Dingguo. I have been in this mansion for more than 30 years with Mrs. Shizi, who grew up watching General Wenxiu and General Wude, and is loyal to Mrs. Shizi, so Mrs. Shizi put her next to Da Niu and Xiaohu.
Mama Fu is fifty years old, her husband's family is also from the Dingguo Mansion, and now she even has grandchildren, so she naturally doesn't dare to have any other ideas except for being loyal to her master. And it is also good to be loyal to the master and deal with the mother, her decency alone is not decent, her children and grandchildren are decent in front of the master, this is the real decency.
Mama Fu had this idea, so she begged Mrs. Shizi to send her eleven-year-old granddaughter to the big girl as a maid, and sent her five-year-old grandson to Xiaohu as a playmate, which can be regarded as the meaning of being loyal to the little masters.
Except for Mama Fu, the rest of the people who followed Da Niu and Xiaohu were mostly the companions of General Wude's wife. This group of companions was quite beautiful when Mrs. Wude was alive, but since she passed away, the rumors that General Wude was going to continue the strings have not been broken, and these minions who were left behind by the original match have become embarrassed, and even faintly isolated.
And now the return of the big girl and the little tiger has given these old people hope. Whether it is for her own future or for the masters, Mrs. Wude's dowry is tightly united around the big girl and the little tiger, and is loyal to the little masters.
The room was quiet for a moment, except for the occasional sound of the wind outside. What Cui'er wanted to ask, Cui'er and Mama Fu both knew it, but the two were very polite on their faces, but they didn't know each other well, although they had the same goal. But how to open this mouth still needs to be carefully considered.
Fu Mama naturally also understands the reason that she loses the initiative when she speaks first, first admiring Cui'er's composure and calmness, and sitting quietly waiting for the young deputy general's wife to be breathless, but she didn't expect Cui'er to be more stable than her, sitting on the top and not moving and not saying anything.
"Mrs. Lian......" Mama Fu finally couldn't hold back the quiet atmosphere, Rao lost the initiative, but she also stood up and took the lead in speaking. Although Mama Fu is already fifty years old. It is the old man of the Dingguo Mansion who has seen a lot of the world. But in front of Cui'er, she didn't dare to take it big at all, after all, the two little masters she served were sincerely Mrs. Lian in front of her as her mother.
"Mrs. Shizi sent me to escort the two little masters over, one is to invite you to the plum banquet in seven days. Second, I want to tell you in detail about the situation in the Dingguo Mansion. Mama Fu had a smile on her face, Mrs. Shizi has been her master for decades, and Mrs. Shizi's words are like a holy decree to her.
"Then there's Mama Lao." Cui'er nodded and smiled. motioned to Mama Fu to go down in detail. Cui'er smiled softly, but she was not confused. With a wave of his hand, Xiangye and Xiangzhi went down to guard the door, leaving only Xiangmo by his side.
"Now in the Dingguo Mansion, in addition to the prince of the world, there are two other lineages. They are the second master and the fourth master...... "Mama Fu originally received the order of the prince of Dingguo, and came to surrender to Cui'er and asked her to take care of the two little masters more when she enjoyed the plum banquet, and this statement began to gush endlessly.
Today's Dingguo Mansion is in the palace. In addition to the branch of the prince of Dingguo, there are two descendants. They are the second master and the fourth master, and there are several branches that are attached to different lineages.
The tiger father has no dog son, the Dingguo Mansion is a loyal martyr, and the Dingguo Gong and his sons and even grandsons are all fierce generals on the battlefield. There are eight generals in the Dingguo Mansion, and the prince occupies three of these rooms, two of the second and fourth rooms, and the late third master of the third room.
Mama Fu was just talking about the heirs and in-laws of each room, and there was no superfluous comment, but Cui'er saw a sign from it, although the son of the world is strong, the second master and the fourth master are not weak. If they want to compete for the position of the son of the world, and they are ruthless, they may not be able to succeed.
Cui'er listened to Mama Fu talk about the Guogong Mansion, but her brows wrinkled slightly, knowing that this Dingguo Mansion, which looks infinitely beautiful on the surface, also has an unknown shady scene inside.
These days, there is a father and mother at home who love and pamper each other, and even Huiya, a child, is obedient to herself, Cui'er knows that she is living a leisurely life, and she is lazy in her heart. But being lazy doesn't mean being stupid, Cui'er thought of this plum banquet for seven or eight points with a slight turn in her mind.
Since ancient times, once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and the Hou Gate is still like this, not to mention the Guogong Mansion! The Dingguo Mansion has been proudly existing since the founding of the country, and it has accumulated over the past hundred years, not only the connections of the Dingguo Mansion in the court, the prestige in the army, but also countless side heirs and intricate family relationships.
Da Niu and Xiao Hu are now the great-grandsons recognized by the Dingguo Mansion, and they opened the ancestral hall and wrote the family tree. How to perform at the flower viewing banquet, although this position will not change for the big girl and the little tiger, it is still extremely important.
Because before this, Da Niu and Xiao Hu had not participated in any formal occasions and were not recognized by outsiders, which was equivalent to the first appearance of the two children among the powerful in the capital.
The prince of Dingguo is the grandfather of the big girl and the little tiger, and the wife of the prince is the grandmother of the two. Looking at these alone, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the big girl and the little tiger in the house.
But the mother is not on the father's expedition, although there are close relatives who love them, the two children are young after all, if someone deliberately designs them, they may not fall into the trap. The big girl and the little tiger are like holding gold and don't know it, and they are high-status and easy to coax in the eyes of others.
If someone is just trying to coax or get some benefits from the two children, Cui'er is not so worried, but if someone is determined to make some mistakes at the flower-viewing banquet, which is already prone to accidents, the loss of face is secondary, if it hurts the two children and loses their lives......
Cui'er didn't dare to think deeply, she only felt that her heart was tightly pinched, and the big girl and little tiger who were regarded as her own must not fall into such a terrible situation. Cui'er secretly gritted her teeth, even if the Dingguo Mansion was a tiger's den in Longtan, she would have to break through for the sake of the two children!
As Mama Fu spoke, she saw the fleeting look of perseverance on Cui'er's face, and said in her heart that Mrs. Shizi was right, this Mrs. Lian really loved her young lady and young master. Soon after, at the plum banquet, if she assisted, maybe she would be able to turn the danger into a disaster.
