Chapter Seventy-One: Old Things (II)

Mrs. Tao returned to the Millennium House and sat on the chair, watching the maids busy, Rui Qing brought a cup of hot tea, and Mrs. Tao took a sip.

Is she old, why can't the people around her see clearly? What the hell is going on with this kid.

Mrs. Tao sat for a while, and then asked Rui Qing to take out the things that Yaohua left on her side to see, there were calligraphy, embroidered handkerchiefs, and gadgets made by Yaohua.

Yaohua's handwriting is handsome, although the needlework is not outstanding, but the things embroidered to her are as elegant as herself, and the old lady picked up the new sachet to smell it, and the fragrance of the flowers is very refreshing.

Rui Qing saw Mrs. Tao's thoughts, and stepped forward and said, "If the old lady wants to miss the second miss, call the second miss over." "If there is any misunderstanding here, it is good to solve it, and it can't hurt the feelings of the ancestors and grandchildren. If you want to say what the second lady has in her heart for the eldest lady, Rui Qing believes it, but for the old lady, the second lady is serious about honoring this grandmother, and there is absolutely nothing fake in it.

Mrs. Tao thought about it and shook her head, "Forget it, it's late today, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”

Mrs. Tao lay like this all night, because there was always something in her heart, she tossed and turned until dawn before she fell asleep.

The next day, Yaohua came early to say goodbye, but Mrs. Tao hadn't gotten up yet, Yaohua stood outside the thick curtain and asked Rui Qing, "Why hasn't Grandmother gotten up yet?" Is it uncomfortable? ”

Rui Qing knew the reason, and she didn't know what to say, so she only smiled and said: "Maybe it's the eldest lady's business, the old lady couldn't sleep last night, and she closed her eyes for a while when it was dawn." ”

Yaohua nodded, "Then I'll sit on the side for a while." ”

Old Lady Tao opened her eyes in the inner room and listened carefully to the movement outside. Rui Qing lifted the curtain and saw that Mrs. Tao was awake and did not make a noise, but just retreated lightly.

Rui Qing lifted the curtain, and Mrs. Tao saw Yaohua's delicate embroidered shoes through the gap in the curtain.

Yaohua sat down quietly outside. Mrs. Tao knew that if others came to her old lady's place, they would think her house was boring, and if she heard that she didn't get up, she didn't happily get an excuse to leave, only Yaohua really came to greet her, so she would sit aside and wait for her to get up.

While sitting, Yaohua asked the girl carefully about the old lady's daily life.

Mrs. Tao sighed secretly, over the years, their ancestors and grandchildren have always been so close, Yaohua is also interested in her, these friendships have been like this for many years, how can there be a fake in it?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tao raised her voice and called Rui Qing, "Bring some tea." ”

Rui Qing hurriedly went to make tea, walked to Yaohua's side, Yaohua reached out to take it, then opened the curtain and sent it to Mrs. Tao's bedside with her own hands.

Old Lady Tao leaned on the pillow and looked at Yaohua with a smile, "Come here so early." ”

Yaohua's eyes were swollen and swollen, and her lips were dry and scabbed, no matter how she looked at it, it looked like she had cried all night.

Old Lady Tao stared at Yaohua quietly for a long time.

Yaohua noticed that she raised her head to meet the gaze of Old Lady Tao, "Grandmother, what's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Tao took the tea and took a sip, and said lovingly: "Are you sad for your sister again?" ”

Yaohua lowered her eyelids to cover it, "No." ”

Mrs. Tao smiled and said: "You child is the most kind and compassionate, you always want to reach out to anyone in the house who is in trouble, I like you the most." ”

Yaohua smiled implicitly.

Mrs. Tao said again: "Yesterday I remembered the book you read when you were a child, so I asked the girls to take it out and show it to me." Those books are all taught to you by me, although your grandmother did not read much, but she has learned the basic principles of life, although she has experienced a lot of ups and downs over the years, it cannot be said that she is worthy of her heart, and she is not out of character. He said and pointed to the table outside, "Those are all books you read when you were a child, I read them all last night, and I have always kept those books for you, so you can take them back today, if you think it's good, stay and think about it, if you think it's not good, you can deal with it at will." ”

Yaohua's face changed, "Grandmother, where is this, it's too late to treasure these things." ”

Mrs. Tao smiled, "What is said in there, you only need to remember one or two things on weekdays, it doesn't matter if you save it or not, it's just an object." ”

Old Lady Tao had never said such a thing, and Yaohua's face stiffened.

Mrs. Tao seemed to have a deep meaning, "The girl named Chu Xiao next to you is not young, right?" ”

Yaohua raised her head and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Chu Xiao has always followed me, there has never been a big mistake, my mother has already ordered someone to beat Chu Xiao, Chu Xiao will not dare to talk nonsense next time after receiving a lesson......

Old Lady Tao smiled, "Which subordinate doesn't go out and talk nonsense, it's nothing." ”

Yaohua glanced at Mrs. Tao cautiously, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Mrs. Tao said again: "I'm just afraid that if you have the heart to go out and say something, it will ruin your reputation in the future, you must know that you are a young lady who has not been out of the cabinet, the most precious thing is your reputation, as long as you take a wrong step, your life will be over." ”

Yaohua's eyes were red and she still wanted to speak.

Old Madam Tao lay down again and waved her hand, "You go back first, I want to rest for a while." ”

Yaohua saw that Mrs. Tao closed her eyes and ignored her, so she could only get up and come out of the inner room, and saw Rui Qing and said, "Grandmother is tired and has fallen asleep." As he spoke, he glanced back again, and then left with Xiangzhu.

Yaohua walked to the door and met Rong Hua with Jinxiu.

When the two met, Rong Hua smiled first: "The second sister is also here to greet the old lady?" ”

Yaohua smiled slightly, and her voice was soft, "Yes, grandmother didn't sleep well last night, and she is still resting." ”

Rong Hua still said: "I'll go in and say goodbye." ”

The two of them each led the person in a different direction.

After entering the house, Mrs. Tao really fell asleep. Rong Hua and Rui Qing said a few words outside, and asked Jinxiu to hand the small jar in her hand to Rui Qing, "This is the yellow plum made by Jinxiu's sister-in-law, and I asked someone to bring it in today, and this jar is for the old lady." ”

Rui Qing smiled and took it, "It's not easy to make this yellow plum, it's not good to have something to say, ten steamed and nine dry, one plum in a few months." The words have come here, and Rui Qing can't help but ask about Jinxiu's brother and sister-in-law.

Jinxiu said: "I have an errand in the village, and my life is much better." This is all because of the kindness of the master in the house, which is why we have today. ”

Rong Hua sat for a while and came out of the old lady's house, before Rui Qing could send out of the yard, a little maid hurriedly came over, the maid saluted Rong Hua, and whispered something in Rui Qing's ear.

Rui Qing's face changed, and she smiled and said to Rong Huafu: "There are still some trivial matters in the house, Miss Eight will go slowly, and I won't send Miss off." ”

Rong Hua said: "Go and get busy with you!" ”

Coming out of the Millennium House, Jinxiu whispered: "Otherwise, I'll go and see." ”

Rong Hua shook his head, looking at the girl's appearance, there was no need to ask, "It should be the fourth aunt." "When something like this happens, the eldest lady is even more worried about the fourth aunt's life.

As long as the fourth aunt dies, everything will die without proof. Although this matter will not be solved, it is inevitable that no one will know the real situation inside.

Looking at Yaohua's appearance today, she will not be too relaxed, and she will inevitably fall into some shortcomings, so she will have to be more cautious in the future.

Rong Hua raised his head and looked at the clear sky, as soon as the eldest sister entered the door, she went to ask the fourth aunt, and in the end, the fourth aunt died, and Chu Xiao was beaten by the board. The atmosphere in the whole house was so tense.

Come to think of it, that's the only thing that's going to be.

The eldest sister must have known about Miss Five and Zhao Xuanhuan back then...... Otherwise, she obviously didn't do anything wrong, how could Shuhua's attitude towards her change so much?

In the past few days, it has been rumored in the house that the fourth aunt has been sick and unable to speak. Yaohua took advantage of this to put everything on the fourth aunt's head.

Rong Hua went to say goodbye to the eldest lady again, but the eldest lady was not in the house, so Rong Hua hurriedly went to the eldest sister's yard.

Rong Hua entered the house and saw that the second wife Wang, Miss Seven, Miss Nine, Miss Ten, and Miss Eleventh were all sitting in the eldest sister's room, and even the Liao family, who was sitting in the small confinement, came.

She was already early enough, and others were earlier than her.

The second wife was talking to the third wife Liao enthusiastically, but Liao was a little absent-minded and tired of coping, and the second wife didn't seem to notice this, and still talked endlessly. The second wife, Wang, has always been famous for her good temper, and she is even more willing to obey the eldest lord and eldest wife, and has never complained.

Rong Hua stepped forward and saluted one by one.

The second wife said a few kind words, the third wife Liao let out a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on her face, and pulled Rong Hua over, Miss Ten Jinghua hurriedly gave Rong Hua a seat, Rong Hua sat next to Liao, and Jinghua sat down with Rong Hua.

Liao said: "I just told your second aunt that I will move to Sanmiao Hutong in a few days. ”

Rong Hua's eyes lit up, "The third aunt is moving to the capital?" ”

Liao said: "Yes, your third uncle is going to participate in the Autumn Festival next year, so it's more convenient." ”

Rong Hua looked at Jinghua, and Jinghua had a smile on her face.

Rong Hua and Liao's side were talking, and the second wife glanced at Rong Hua inquiringly, and then smiled disappreciatively.

Rong Hua knew what the second aunt meant, although she was from a big house, she was a concubine, even if she was close to the third room, she did not have the conditions for competition.

The second wife looked at the inner room again, frowning worriedly, "There are one after another in this Lang, and I don't know what happened to me." ”

The second wife looked like she couldn't sit still.

Sure enough, the second wife stood up and said, "I'll go over and have a look." ”

Rong Hua smiled secretly. are all people of the Tao family, marriage does not necessarily have to be selected from the big room, several young ladies in the second room are also of the right age, and they were just sent over as concubines before, in case the body of the eldest sister is really not good, then it is not necessary to choose a concubine.

Yaohua was already optimistic about Wu Muhou's family affairs, leaving her and Yanhua as the two concubines, and the second wife naturally saw hope in it.

After a while, the second wife came out of the inner room, and sure enough, she did not bring back any useful news. The eldest lady is cautious and will not tell the truth until she has decided on anything.

Sending all the Lang Zhong in the house away, the eldest lady Fang came out of it and saw everyone smiling reluctantly.

The second wife stepped forward and asked, "What did those Lang Zhong say?" ”

The eldest lady said: "What Lang Zhong said is the same, it is a woman's illness, and she can't come in a hurry, so it's better to raise it slowly." ”

The second wife sat up straight, "Although this woman's illness is not curable, it will not be too serious. ”

As she was talking, Chen's mother came in and whispered a few words in the eldest lady's ear.

The eldest lady frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Did you find Lang Zhong to see? ”

Chen's mother said: "I can't say anything good after seeing it." ”

The eldest lady asked again, "Can you open a prescription?" ”

Chen's mother said: "Where are you willing to prescribe a prescription, I just say that it is useless." ”

The second wife finally couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

The eldest lady looked a little sad, "The fourth aunt is seriously ill," and she didn't say anything more, and hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go over and have a look." ”

As soon as the eldest lady left, everyone couldn't sit still, and walked out while talking, and when they reached the moon cave gate, they separated.

Rong Hua passed the door of the Moon Cave and was walking forward, when a figure suddenly appeared and startled her, and then she saw that it was Brother Hong.

Brother Hong came up with a smile and took Rong Hua's hand, "Sister, come here to talk." ”

Rong Hua stepped aside and asked Brother Hong, "Is the matter done?" ”

Brother Hong nodded and said in a very low voice: "Sister, don't worry, this matter is on me." As he spoke, he took out a bracelet from his body and stuffed it back into Rong Hua's hand, "Sister put this away." ”

Rong Hua suddenly wondered, "Didn't you take it as a pawn, why did you take it back?" "This is the bracelet left by Aunt Seven, carefully put it away on weekdays, no one else has ever seen it, and no one will know if she takes it out, if she doesn't need silver money this time, she won't ......

Brother Hong said: "Sister, don't worry, I have already thought of a way." After a pause and a smile, "I wanted to be a man again tomorrow, but who knew that today I met that Ma Daopo, and that woman looked at the jade pendant on my waist, so I took off the jade pendant and gave it to her." It also saves us trouble. ”

The man was so insatiable.

Brother Hong said again: "She promised me that she would bring me the things in two days, and said that she would help me with them...... When the time comes, see how she quibbles. ”

Rong Hua said: "If she repents, what will you do with your jade pendant?" ”

Brother Hong smiled and said: "Sister don't worry, I have promised her that I will give her benefits after the matter is completed, if she really regrets it, I will say that the jade pendant is lost, and at most she will be scolded." ”

This is also a good way, she was worried that she would come to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady asked how the money that Brother Hong gave to Ma Daopo came from, but Brother Hong couldn't explain.

Rong Hua looked at Brother Hong, the younger brother who would only hide behind her could now help her, thinking of this, he smiled slightly, "Be careful, don't let her see anything, otherwise your efforts will be wasted." ”

The child was looking for me, and everyone hugged me and cried, and finally fell asleep.

It's not easy to have a child, and you don't have any time for yourself.
