Chapter 66: The Precursor (I)

Tao Mansion, the little maid in the eldest lady's yard had just brought the copper basin down, and Chen's mother hurriedly entered the house and said a few words in the eldest lady's ear.

The eldest lady's face, which was originally calm and relaxed, suddenly changed, "What about Shuhua?" How is Shuhua? ”

Chen's mother said: "The eldest lady is not very good. ”

The eldest lady said: "Tell me to prepare the car immediately, I will go to the Hou Mansion." ”

Chen's mother said worriedly: "It was the eldest lady who secretly sent someone back to say it, will the eldest lady rush over early in the morning make the Hou Mansion feel ......?"

The eldest lady's face immediately sank, "Do I have to pick a time to see my daughter?" ”

While the two were talking, Yaohua entered the house.

The eldest lady only complained when she saw Yaohua, "Aren't you feeling unwell?" Go back and lie down! Then he frowned and instructed Chen's mother, "Go and arrange it." He asked Chunyao to come over and change her clothes behind the screen, and instructed Chunyao while changing her clothes, "Wrap the pair of sunflower green pastel entwined flower pattern dendrobium, as well as the things that were packed up last time, be sure to bring the 'Shoushan Hall' solid Peiyuan paste that the trustee bought." ”

The eldest lady was busy confessing to Chunyao, and she didn't notice that she had neglected her second daughter.

Yaohua stood in the room, the maids were only busy with the things that the eldest lady had confessed, and the little maid hurriedly served a cup of tea to the second lady.

When Chu Xiao saw the little maid looking at the eyes, he knew that she had been temporarily arrested and served.

As long as the eldest lady has something, she can't care about others. The eldest lady is like this, and the maids in this room are also like this, Chu Xiao glanced at the second lady.

The second lady was still as usual, and there was no strange look on her face.

After preparing the things, the eldest lady took Yaohua's hand and patted it again, "Go back and rest!" ”

Yaohua's gentle eyes were full of worry, "Mother, is there something wrong with the eldest sister?" ”

The eldest lady hesitated slightly, but still didn't tell the truth, "It's nothing, your eldest sister has been in poor health, I'll go over and take a look now." ”

Yaohua looked at her mother's expression of wanting to speak, "Shall I go with my mother?" ”

The eldest lady hesitated, Shuhua didn't know what the situation was...... If this kind of thing happened, she should be prepared, her earlier thoughts resurfaced, and she smiled at Yaohua, "It's important for you to take care of your body." ”

Yaohua said: "Mother goes alone, and there is no one around ......"

The eldest lady said: "But even if you go and see, you don't need anyone," and then paused again, "I'll take your eighth sister with me, and you can rest assured that you will wait for news in the house." ”

Yaohua was still about to speak, but Chen's mother had already come and said, "The car is ready." ”

The eldest lady naturally let go of Yaohua's hand and said to Chunyao next to her: "Go and call Miss Eight to come over, and go directly to the Hanging Flower Gate." ”

Chunyao immediately trotted away.

The eldest lady and Chen's mother talked as they walked, followed by the maids who were carrying things.

The eldest lady and her party walked out of the courtyard, Yaohua stood under the porch for a while, suddenly smiled faintly, and slowly left with Chu Xiao.

Rong Hua hurried to the Weeping Flower Gate with the hibiscus.

There was a carriage bolted to the door.

The eldest lady lifted the curtain and let Rong Hua get into the car, and said to Chunyao and Mu Hibiscus below: "There is no one else, you two should also get in the car!" ”

The four men got into the carriage, and the carriage began to move forward.

Rong Hua glanced at the eldest lady, who didn't know what she was thinking with a straight face.

Rong Hua cautiously asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

The eldest lady half-closed her eyes, like a mud tire in the niche, and her voice was flat, "Your eldest sister's personal maid Qiuhe found out that she jumped into the well and died this morning." ”

Rong Hua couldn't help but be surprised.

"The body only floated up this morning, I think it died a few days ago. I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried about your eldest sister's body. Speaking of this, the eldest lady suddenly raised her head and glanced at Rong Hua.

The eyes were sharp and full of deep meaning, Rong Hua's eyes suddenly shrank, pretending to be timid, and his heart was extremely calm. I hope Shuhua's body is fine, in case something bad happens...... I'm afraid that the eldest lady will have other ideas, thinking about this, and thinking, if Shuhua's body has a big problem, what will the eldest lady do? Will you marry a concubine as a concubine? Future......

Just thinking about it, he heard a few shouts outside, the carriage slowed down, and then it shook again, Rong Hua was caught off guard, his elbow hit the inner wall of the carriage, the eldest lady was also startled, Chunyao asked outside in a loud voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Ma Sanchong, who had been driving for a long time, said back and forth: "Mrs., it was the axle of the carriage that cracked, and the wheel lost its alignment and fell into the drainage ditch on the side of the road. ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately blushed angrily, "Why didn't you check when you came out?" ”

Ma Sanchong, who drove the car, was a slave of Taofu, and he had been driving the car for the eldest lord, and the eldest lord believed in him, and he only served the eldest master most of the time on weekdays. Because several coachmen helped to deliver the people yesterday, it was his turn to be on duty this morning. Early this morning, the eldest lady sent him on an errand, he was unhappy, Chen's mother was in a hurry, so he was lazy and lazy before he bolted the car out, and he didn't check the car. This car followed the old man out of Beijing after a long journey, did not have time to maintain, and there was a problem when it was used today.

Now that the eldest lady asked, Ma Sanchong didn't care about the defense, "Today, the wife is in a hurry, so she didn't check the car, who knew that the axle was cracked." ”

This Diao slave, who ignores him on weekdays, has become more and more rampant, and now he is on the street, but he can't do anything to him, the eldest lady suppresses her anger, "Do this now?" Still can't go? ”

Ma San said, "I'll take a look again." And he went down and was silent.

Wu Muhou Xue Mingrui sat in the carriage, his slender fingers took the letter handed by the man next to him, and the man with a sparse face looked at Xue Mingrui's expression with bated breath.

Xue Mingrui's thin lips pursed slightly, his eyes were deep, and his expression was unpredictable.

The man hurriedly said: "The evidence is already there, if you don't check it, you won't check it, those people don't move down, it's a hidden danger after all." ”

Xue Mingrui said: "It's not been a year or two since the Holy Lord was lenient. Su Xiyao falls, and he will settle down for a while. Look for opportunities in the future and take your time. ”

The man said: "The saint still has concerns, and I don't know when I will be able to trust Master Hou." ”

Xue Mingrui said: "Not to mention the clan relatives, how many children are there in Guixun, it will not be so easy for the saint to choose people from here." ”

The man nodded and said, "It seems that the concubine's side will have a move in the next two days." If you really crown the prince, the odds will be much greater, and maybe you will really be crowned the crown prince. ”

Xue Mingrui glanced at him lightly, "The prince is still far from the crown prince." The Holy Lord's illness sounds dangerous, but it hasn't reached that level yet. Speaking of this, he seemed to hear a familiar voice, Xue Mingrui lifted the curtain of the carriage window and glanced out, and instructed the coachman, "Stop." ”

The coachman hurried up to obey the order.

Xue Mingrui pointed to the carriage on the side of the road, and the coachman immediately understood.

He met the groom who drove the car, the subordinate of Tao Zheng'an's family in the Zhejiang Shilang of the household department.

The eldest lady was in a hurry in the car, and Ma Sanchong looked at the car for a long time, and said back and forth: "I'm afraid this car can't go." ”

The eldest lady looked at Rong Hua, and her face became even more ugly.

She is a young lady who has not left the cabinet, so naturally she can't stand on the street like this, Rong Hua said: "You can only let people go back to the house and call a car." ”

The eldest lady was angry and anxious, "How many hours will it take to come and go?" ”

Rong Hua's heart sank, it seems that Shuhua's illness is not light, otherwise the eldest lady would not be in such a hurry.

Seeing that the Hou Mansion was in front, he couldn't let the Yicheng Hou Mansion send a car to pick him up. Just thinking about it, I heard someone talking outside, and after a while, my mother-in-law came and said, "Wu Muhou sent someone to ask." ”

The eldest lady was surprised: "Wu Muhou? ”

The mother-in-law replied: "Wu Muhou's car is in front. ”

The eldest lady immediately lifted the curtain to look, and sure enough, she saw a carriage parked not far away, and then saw Wu Muhou get out of the car.

Rong Hua also looked over quietly, only to see the corner of Hou Ye's cyan clothes, and the eldest lady lowered the curtain a little.

Xue Mingrui stepped forward and saluted, "Big lady." ”

The eldest lady was inconvenient in the carriage, so she could only bow her head and salute in return, remembering her current situation, she smiled embarrassedly, "What a coincidence, I met Master Hou here." ”

Xue Mingrui said: "I just heard from someone that the carriage in the house is broken, come and see if you can help." ”

The eldest lady smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, "Why are you so troublesome Master Hou." ”

Rong Hua listened carefully, and Wu Muhou didn't say any other kind words, "I happened to be around here, where is the eldest lady going, I'll let the people in the house send it over." ”

The eldest lady didn't expect Wu Muhou to help like this, she was bent on trying to get a relationship with Wu Muhou, how could she insist on refusing, only a few polite words, and agreed.

The groom of Wu Muhou's Mansion pulled the car over, the eldest lady got into the car first, and Rong Hua got out of the carriage, before getting into the carriage of the Hou Mansion, Rong Hua quickly glanced at Wu Muhou next to him, but unexpectedly met his gaze, without enough psychological preparation, Rong Hua was slightly stunned, and his face suddenly turned red.

Seeing the delicate Luo skirt disappear behind the curtain, Wu Muhou Xue Mingrui looked away. Although when I was talking to the eldest lady just now, I only saw the beautiful fingers that showed the sleeves of my clothes, and I guessed that it must be her, and the fingers naturally unfolded, without a trace of nervousness and fear in front of him.

It was the first time he had met such a woman.

The eldest lady instructed her mother-in-law to go back to the house and ask someone to help drive the broken carriage back, and then arrange for a carriage to pick it up at the Yicheng Marquis's Mansion, and then instructed the horseman to catch the carriage.

The eldest lady looked at the spacious carriage of the Hou Mansion, and her face looked slightly better.

The Yicheng Marquis Mansion soon arrived, and Chunyao sent his mother-in-law to Tongyu, and then helped the eldest lady get out of the car.

Seeing that the eldest lady was coming, the maids and mothers-in-law of the Hou Mansion hurriedly helped to get things from the car, and everyone had just entered the garden, and the second grandmother Liu hurriedly helped Mrs. Cai to come out.

Mrs. Cai was not surprised to see the eldest lady, she was still as enthusiastic as before, and said with a smile: "Just talking about the in-laws' wife, the in-laws' wife has arrived." ”
