Chapter 46: Watching the Drama (Part II)
Eleven Niang helped Yuan Niang and slowly walked towards the main house.
On the way, Shi Niang felt that Yuan Niang's body was getting heavier and heavier, and couldn't help but slow down, and said softly: "Do you want to rest." ”
Yuan Niang looked at her with a side smile, the corners of her eyebrows were slightly raised, but the corners of her mouth were twitched, and her expression was very weird: "Don't make a noise!" ”
Eleven Niang was a little strange, but she still obeyed her words and silently carried her up the steps of the main house.
The doors of the main house are empty, and the window lattices on the east and west sides are ajar, as if they are open for ventilation.
She helped Yuan Niang with one hand and pushed the door with the other.
As soon as his fingertips touched the door, he suddenly heard a man's angry shout: "Who's outside the door?" ”
Eleven Niang was shocked, her hand trembled, and she slapped on the door, and the door was pushed open with a "squeak".
A woman's low exclamation came from inside the room.
Someone!
This was the first thought that flashed into Eleven Niang's mind.
And it's a man and a woman!
This is the second thought that flashed into Eleven Niang's mind.
She was stunned, and then a bad feeling rose in her heart.
Yuan Niang, who had been leaning on her shoulder weakly, stood up straight at the moment and said loudly: "Who? Who's in it? As he spoke, he quickly lifted the door frame, raised his feet and walked in.
Eleven Niang watched Yuan Niang stagger, hesitated for a moment, hurriedly rushed forward to help Yuan Niang, and saw a man walking out of the west wing.
He was tall and straight, handsome, and wore a moon-white midcoat. Seeing Yuan Niang, his expression was slightly surprised: "Yuan Niang? The tone was full of disbelief.
Yuan Niang was stammering: "Master Hou? You, why are you here? ”
Hou Ye? Yongping Hou Xu Lingyi?
The corners of Eleven Niang's eyes jumped, and she couldn't help but look at the man opposite.
He looks like he's twenty-five or six years old. The skin is fair, a pair of red phoenix eyes, both large and long, and bright. The kind of condensation of the person who has been in the top position for a long time between the eyebrows gives him a calm and capable person who surpasses his age.
She was surprised.
I didn't expect Xu Lingyi to be so young.
He stared at Yuan Niang and did not answer, but his brows frowned slightly.
Yuan Niang looked at it and snorted coldly, pushed Eleven Niang away, and stumbled past him into the West Wing.
Xu Lingyi watched her enter the house, neither helping nor stopping.
Eleven Niang thought of the woman's exclamation she had just heard......
It's really a house leak that happens to be rainy. Shi Niang's matter has not been resolved, and now she has entered a place where she shouldn't be.
She crept backwards, trying to hide in a corner and become a tall ...... If it can turn into dust, she has no opinion!
But at this time, it has become a luxury to want to be unnoticed.
A sharp gaze fell on her.
"Who are you?" A cold light flashed in the eyes of the questioner.
The little girl with flowers and bones is delicate, dressed in a low-key but gorgeous manner, generous in her gestures, and has a demure temperament.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
What should come will come!
"Concubine Luo's Eleventh Mother." She bent her knees to give Xu Lingyi a blessing, and her voice was calm and gentle, "Ask Hou Ye'an!" ”
Xu Lingyi was slightly stunned: "The Luo family? ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "Exactly!" ”
Xu Lingyi bowed her jaw and was about to say something, but Yuan Niang had already rushed out, still holding a moon-white embroidered bamboo plum orchid skirt in her hand.
"Xu Lingyi," she burst into tears, "I'm not dead yet!" ”
A hateful word, but with a sad tone, it makes people feel sad.
Xu Lingyi stared at Yuan Niang, without saying a word, with a serious expression, which made Eleven Niang feel strange in her heart.
Yuan Niang was heartbroken, her already thin body trembled and crumbled.
Eleven Niang hurriedly stepped forward to help Yuan Niang.
Xu Lingyi turned around and sat on the Taishi chair in the hall with a calm expression. Then he said to Eleven Niang in a deep voice: "You go out first, I have something to say to your sister." There was a hint of weariness in his tone.
Eleven Niang didn't dare to think about it, didn't dare to look at it more, lowered her eyelids, bowed her knees respectfully, answered "yes", and turned around to go out.
Who knows, a woman in a pink gown suddenly rushed out of the west wing, almost hitting Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang instinctively took a step back, but the corner of her eye swept over the woman's face...... Then he stayed where he was like a lightning strike.
"You misunderstood...... Hou Ye and I really don't have anything! "My sleeve was torn in the garden, and I just wanted to change my clothes here!" She pulled Yuan Niang's sleeve and begged bitterly, "Really, if you don't believe it, you can go and ask Miss Gan Jiaqi, I flew a kite with her just now......"
Yuan Niang stood there and sneered.
She turned around and begged Xu Lingyi with tears in her eyes: "Master Hou......" took two steps, and felt that it was inappropriate, so she stopped in place at a loss, "I really didn't know you were here...... I really don't know......" he said, hiding his face and crying.
Eleven Niang was excited, and then she came to her senses. Hurriedly lowered his head and walked out lightly.
It turned out to be Qiao Lianfang, the sixth lady of the Qiao family!
How did she end up here?
No, how could Yuan Niang appear here?
She didn't even go out to greet her mother, who she hadn't seen for more than ten years, but she went to Dianchun Hall for a few good wives......
Eleven Niang gently closed the door.
And I remembered that when I came, the door was blank and the window was ajar......
As soon as she stood still, she saw Aunt Wen walking over with a twinkle in her eyes.
Inside the door behind her, there was Yuan Niang's sad and angry voice and Miss Qiao's low cry.
Eleven Niang sighed and said loudly: "Aunt Wen, why are you here?" ”
Suddenly there was silence behind him.
She is already like a mirror - Yuan Niang doesn't want to make a fuss about this matter......
Aunt Wen had already climbed the steps, "Miss In-law, why are you standing here?" ”
Eleven Niang smiled slightly: "The eldest sister said that she was a little tired and wanted to rest!" ”
Aunt Wen tiptoed, her eyes swept over her shoulder and looked in, and she said a little absentmindedly: "Do you want me to pour my sister a cup of hot tea?" ”
Aunt Wen is Xu Lingyi's concubine, and the relationship between Yuan Niang and Yuan Niang is like that between a boss and a subordinate......
The thought flashed, and Eleven Niang smiled and said, "Then there is Aunt Lao!" I was about to pour my eldest sister a cup of tea. The place is unfamiliar, and I don't dare to walk around. ”
Aunt Wen was stunned when she heard this.
She didn't expect that Eleven Niang would really instruct her.
Eleven Niang saw her expression clearly, and simply looked at her with a smile: "Aunt Lao is going to help make a cup of hot tea!" ”
Aunt Wen's face was slightly gloomy, her eyes turned, and she laughed again: "Then I'll go make tea for my sister." ”
Turning around and going down the steps, he glanced back.
If someone else comes, I will definitely not be able to stop it.
No matter what the truth of this matter is, Yuan Niang is her sister, Xu Lingyi is her brother-in-law, and there is a circle of noble ladies sitting outside......
Eleven Niang watched Aunt Wen's back disappear in front of her, and then hurriedly followed, and looked towards the hall next to the Taihu Lake Stone, and saw a little maid standing on the steps, and hurriedly beckoned to the maid.
The maid was from the Yuan Niang's house, and she was very clever, so she immediately ran over.
Eleven Niang smiled and asked her, "What's your name?" ”
The maid smiled: "The slave's name is Wen Lian." ”
"Oh, Wen Lian." Eleven Niang smiled kindly, "I have something important, you secretly helped me call Mother Tao...... Don't let anyone know. As he spoke, there was a little shyness in his smile.
Is it to go to the clean room?
Wen Lian guessed, responded with a smile, and hurriedly turned around to call Tao's mother.
Eleven Niang pulled Tao's mother to the middle of the yard.
"Master Hou, eldest sister and sixth lady of the Qiao family are all in the house." She said to Tao's mother concisely while observing Tao's mother's ** expression.
Mother Tao looked at Eleven Niang with a slight surprise, but she was not shocked.
Eleven Niang knew it in her heart, and hurriedly instructed her: "Don't make trouble...... It was a scandal. Of course, Miss Qiao's family did not end well, and the reputation of the eldest sister for more than ten years of virtue was over. I asked my mother to tell Mrs. Tai quietly, only to say that my sister was not feeling well and wanted to see her alone. Others must not leak a little bit of the rumor. Even if it's my mother's, don't talk about it for the time being. ”
Mother Tao looked at Eleven Niang with an unfamiliar gaze.
At this point, there's no point in cringe.
Eleven Niang smiled slightly, calmly accepted Tao's mother's gaze, and once again warned her: "Mom, go quickly!" If I hadn't blocked it just now, Aunt Wen would have rushed in. I can stop it once, but I can't stop it twice. ”
Mother Tao's face was a little anxious, she politely said to Eleven Niang, "I'm tired of you", turned around and trotted out of the hall.
Eleven Niang looked up at the blue sky that was divided into four squares, and let out a long sigh.
After a while, Aunt Wen came, and there was a teacup of the old kiln with azure in the carved red lacquer begonia flower tea tray.
Eleven Niang took the tray and said with a smile: "There is Aunt Lao." ”
Aunt Wen stood there, smiling at Eleven Niang, as if waiting for her to enter the house and leave by herself.
Eleven Niang stood there holding the tray, looking at Aunt Wen with a smile, as if she would enter the house by herself after she left.
For a moment, the two were deadlocked.
Aunt Wen smiled, but a hint of sharpness flashed in her eyes: "Miss in-law, I have served my sister for more than ten years. I treat my sister as if she were my own child, and my sister treats me with respect. ”
It means that Eleven Niang is too rude to her.
Eleven Niang smiled gently: "It's just that my sister has been on the sickbed for a long time, and I can't help but think a lot, and we, the people around her, should be more obedient." My aunt was too eager. ”
It means that Aunt Wen saw that Yuan Niang was sick, so she didn't listen to Yuan Niang's words.
The smile on Aunt Wen's face gradually faded: "I'm afraid that the in-laws don't know my sister's habits and hobbies, so I'm good to mention something on the side." Speaking of which, you've only seen three times after all. ”
Eleven Niang smiled brightly: "Because of this, the eldest sister pulled me here to say something considerate." Saying that, revealing a little amazement, "If the eldest sister doesn't say it, I don't even know that the green building I live in was built after the eldest sister got married." There is also the warm pavilion behind the Green Tower. Yuhang is not like Yanjing, charcoal is very rare. My mother was afraid that my sisters would freeze, so when it snowed, we often lit a fire, and we sisters did needlework in the warm pavilion. My 12 sisters often complained that it was better to light a brazier so that they could roast sweet potatoes and chestnuts and eat them...... "I even have to talk about it at length."
