Chapter 109: The Storm Rises Again (I)
Rong Hua panicked, raised his head, and saw Xue Mingrui's clear eyes.
It turned out that he was not asleep.
Rong Hua bit his lip, "Master Hou is tired, so settle it early, I'll let the maid come in and serve and freshen up." ”
She lowered her head and frowned, with a little shyness and panic in her eyes, and her bright red lips pursed, as if she wanted to hide her emotions, but she showed a little softness.
Xue Mingrui looked away, "Your brother Brother Hong has a good relationship with you. ”
Rong Hua was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xue Mingrui to ask Brother Hong, the previous nervous and embarrassing emotions disappeared all of a sudden, and Xue Mingrui's slender fingers were easily opened.
Rong Hua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"The family doesn't know much, I'm actually with Brother Hong," Rong Hua raised his head and glanced at Xue Mingrui, "He really treats me as a sister." ”
Xue Mingrui thought of the Tao family's expression when he returned to the door today, and obviously didn't take this married daughter to heart. Everything is in the interests of the family, they are all controlled pawns, marriages, careers, and even what kind of people to befriend are all designed in advance, and they must follow this path, otherwise they will be abandoned.
Xue Mingrui couldn't help but think of the past.
Rong Hua looked over and only felt that Xue Mingrui's expression was getting deeper and deeper.
After a long time, Xue Mingrui said: "I heard that Brother Hong has entered the left-wing sect. ”
Rong Hua nodded, "It's the Yicheng Marquis Mansion who helped me." ”
Xue Mingrui said: "You have seen the seventh brother, and the seventh brother was originally studying in the Left Wing Sect. ”
Rong Hua remembered the heartiness and casualness of the seventh master, but he was somewhat similar to Brother Hong, if he had the opportunity to call the two of them together, maybe he would be able to get close.
"Left-wing sectarians don't necessarily learn anything."
Rong Hua raised his head in surprise, "Left-wing sect is not the best school?" ”
Xue Mingrui got up and got off the kang, Rong Hua hurriedly followed down to serve, and called the maid to come in to serve and freshen up, and finally lay on the bed, Rong Hua thought that Xue Mingrui would not continue the topic.
"I used to study at the Left-wing Sect, but I didn't satisfy the doctor."
Rong Hua looked at Xue Mingrui's stretched eyebrows, very surprised, "I heard Mrs. Tai say before, how could it be ...... when Hou Ye was a child?"
"You don't have to have a good memory, you can do anything. The doctors in the left-wing sect are all old things, they can't see new things, and they are boring and boring when they talk about things, and they don't have any meaning. Xue Mingrui paused and said, "My father invited Xixi, and then went to the army. ”
The sons and daughters of the nobles have no imperial examination, so they can only join the army.
Rong Hua said tentatively: "Hou Ye means to let the Seventh Master ...... also"
Xue Mingrui said lightly: "It depends on Lao Qi's own meaning." ”
Rong Hua lay down but couldn't sleep, Brother Hong had mentioned to her more than once that there was nothing interesting in the left-wing sect, if she hadn't been by her side to supervise at all times, Brother Hong might have given up early in the morning, and he might not even be able to pass the previous small exam.
Rong Hua hesitated and didn't know whether to speak, Xue Mingrui mentioned Brother Hong first, did he mean this?
Xue Mingrui blew out the lamp, the room was dark, and Rong Hua said, "If Master Hou really wants to invite the seventh brother to Xixi, can you ...... Brother Hong and Brother Seventh are also about the same age. ”
Xue Mingrui's expression couldn't be seen clearly in the dark, Rong Hua was a little uneasy, she hadn't tried to make any requests to others for a long time.
"Wait for Xixi, let Brother Hong come and take a look."
Rong Hua couldn't help but smile a little, "Thank you, Master Hou." ”
Xing Changyuan's family came back from outside, and said in the third wife's ear: "Man'er hasn't been found yet." ”
The third lady smiled coldly, "If something so big happened, how could you still find someone." Did Xue Mingwei come back? ”
Xing Changyuan's family also had a playful expression, "The third master came back and saw that Man'er was not there, so he went to the second wife's house to ask the second wife for someone." ”
The third lady first smiled proudly, and then the rabbit died and the fox became sad, "Man'er is also a lovely person, and she also made me a pair of shoes, she is clever and can observe words and feelings, and her round little face is blessed when she looks at it, at first I wanted to bring her over to serve Mingying, who knew that she would look at the second room more." I thought there would be a good future with the second room. ”
Xing Changyuan's family smiled and said, "It seems that the third master will not give up easily. ”
The third wife said: "What if you don't give up, today in full view of everyone, Na Man'er did something wrong so she hid, what does it have to do with the second wife, no matter how much trouble you make, you can't make any tricks." ”
Although Xing Changyuan's family was a little sure in his heart, he still asked the third wife, "How could the second wife go to such great lengths to clean up a Man'er, it stands to reason that Man'er is an obedient person and has a very docile personality, and in the future, when the third master marries the main room, it will be ...... to carry Man'er as an aunt."
The third lady smiled lightly, "I'm afraid that the second room was careless this time, and something happened, you must know that the old lady hates this the most, otherwise she wouldn't have ...... back then."
The words of the third wife confirmed the thoughts in Xing Changyuan's heart, "The second wife is a person who hunts geese all day long, but she was pecked in the eye by geese. ”
The third wife pursed her lips and smiled: "I remind the second nephew and daughter-in-law that this is also the case, if Dafang makes a fuss about this matter, it can be regarded as revenge for a tooth for a tooth, only a good person like me will do such a good thing, and Dafang wants me to do this love." ”
Xing Changyuan's family said: "That's nature. Speaking of this, Xing Changyuan's eyes flashed, "But the slave maid looks, the Hou Ye is not as cold to the young lady as we thought before." Today, the young lady came back from her mother's house and was still wearing the cloak of the Hou Ye. ”
The third lady picked up the tea and drank it, "It's just driven by interests, Master Hou doesn't want to marry Gaomen just because he is afraid of being restrained, and everyone knows the reason why he chose a concubine like Miss Tao Ba to be the lady of the main room, what will happen in the future, and it will be easy to get out." If Hou Ye gets the trust of the above and has a good future in the future, are you afraid that you won't be able to find her wrong place and give up the position of the main room? When the time comes, when they come forward to give marriage, they will all be happy. ”
Xing Changyuan's family said: "It's still my wife's long-term thinking." ”
The third wife said again: "Men, they all focus on the future, who cares too much about the personal affairs of their children." The second nephew and daughter-in-law just entered the Xue Mansion, how many things she knows, and there was a Jing Su before. ”
Xing Yuanyuan's family said: "Isn't Jing Su already dead? ”
The third wife glanced at Xing Changyuan's pursed lips and smiled, "How can you know the truth in this, I think the men in the Xue family's room are all affectionate." Let's talk about Jing Su ......" The third lady sighed deliberately, thinking of the Peony Pavilion, "I don't know what to do, go deep, the living can die, and the dead can live." How do you know that the old lady didn't keep a hand. ”
Old Madam Xue was lying on the warm kang, and the maids in the house withdrew one after another, leaving only Mother Li to accompany the old lady.
The old lady opened her eyes, and there was no kind expression on her face, "Have you gone to ask from all the houses?" ”
Mother Li nodded, "I've gone and asked." The maid in the third master's house said that the second wife went to the third master's house yesterday and said that Man'er was careful, and the little young master was not feeling well these days, so she asked Man'er to go to the big milk room to help. I was afraid that this would not be accurate, so I found a few maids to ask, but they were all words, and I thought it couldn't be wrong. Except for the third master who came back to look for Man'er in the second room, there was not much movement in the third and fourth rooms. After a pause, "On the other side of the long room, when the young lady and the Hou Ye returned to the door, the maids in the young lady's house had been in the garden for most of the day. ”
Old Madam Xue raised her eyebrows slightly.
Li's mother said, "Do you need me to go to the houses to mention something?" ”
The old lady said: "That's not necessary, although I agree to this family business, but it is not easy for her to marry into our family with a concubine girl past several sisters, I want to give her a chance to see how much she has in mind." ”
Rong Hua only felt a faint smell of grass at the end of his nose at first, and the soft quilt was rubbed on his face, warm and comfortable, but the next moment he became unfamiliar, and the sound of intimate breathing fell on his ears, Rong Hua felt a little itchy, and couldn't help but move lightly twice, and then opened his eyes.
Under the slightly dim light, the contours on Xue Mingrui's face were slightly blurred, his clear eyes were a little hazy than usual, and the coldness and indifference on his face also melted into a little bit in the warm breath.
Her long body leaned over, her fingers slowly reaching into her small clothes, and the unfamiliar feeling made her heart beat irregularly.
Rong Hua wanted to retract, his lips pressed down and gently fell on her lips, her heart tightened, and she reached out in a panic to grab his arm, and gradually his entire breath invaded......
Chunyao and Jinxiu waited outside the door for a long time, but they didn't see any movement inside.
Yanling said: "Otherwise, go in and call up, Hou Ye is never late." ”
Chunyao glanced at Yanling, "Since it's not too late, where is our turn to go in and call." ”
Yanling was a little unconvinced, but she didn't dare to speak again.
Chunyao said: "It's just the fourth watch, there is still some time for the Hou Ye to go to the court, let's wait a while, as long as we don't miss the early court." Then he arranged for the maids to prepare the toiletries, and when the door opened, they went in and served.
After another moment, Rong Hua's voice came from the room.
Jinxiu hurriedly pushed the door in, and immediately came out again after listening to the order.
Hibiscus went up and asked, "What's wrong?" Do you want to get up? ”
Jinxiu's cheeks were slightly red, "I want water." ”
Hibiscus's face also turned red, and he was busy arranging.
Rong Hua got up first, and then changed Xue Mingrui into an official uniform, it was the first time she saw Wu Muhou wearing an official uniform, and the buttons on the neckline made him more cold and tough, in comparison, the softness just now made people a little trance.
"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
Rong Hua nodded and sent Xue Mingrui out, "Tomorrow is the Worm King's Day, do you want to take out the books in the Hou Ye's study?" ”
Xue Mingrui hesitated slightly, "Just take out the books in the big study in the courtyard, and don't move the small study." "The big study is with Xue Mingwei's study, and the small study was built next to the new house later.
Xue Mingrui goes to the small study on weekdays, and the maids are careful when they go in to clean.
After sending Xue Mingrui away, Rong Hua instructed Mu Hibiscus to call her up.
I didn't expect to sleep so deeply, and after waking up, my body was still a little sore, Jinxiu came in to comb Rong Hua's hair, "Just now Cui'er went out to wash the list and came back and said that everyone outside was looking for Man'er in the third young master's house." ”
Rong Hua hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you ask her if she had seen it?" ”
Jinxiu said: "I asked, Cui'er was brought from home by us, and I didn't know Man'er at all, so I said I hadn't seen it." ”
Rong Hua nodded, just about to speak.
Mu Hibiscus came in and said, "Gao Jinrui's family is here." ”
In addition to the accompanying room she brought from the Tao family, she has not made specific arrangements for the rest of the people, according to the eldest wife's wishes, Gao Jinrui's family and Feng Lichang's family are all going to stay in the Xue Mansion.
Gao Jinrui's family entered the house, stood next to Rong Hua and smiled slightly, and looked at the Jinxiu and hibiscus in the house from time to time with his eyes.
Rong Hua said: "Mother Gao has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Gao Jinrui's family smiled: "But it's nothing, but I want to trouble the girl to watch outside." ”
Gao Jinrui's family obviously wanted to be her companion, but in fact, the eldest lady sent her over to "mention" her. I don't know what she has to say when she comes over so early.
Rong Hua glanced at Hibiscus, who withdrew from the room.
Gao Jinrui's family said: "There are a few daughters-in-law brought by Mrs. who are very good at combing their hair, not that Miss Jinxiu's craftsmanship is not good, it's just that this lady's hair bun is still less beautiful." Why don't you choose a daughter-in-law to come up and dress up for your wife. ”
It's not that she hasn't thought about it, but she hasn't had time to do it yet, and she really needs an older daughter-in-law in the house. Chunyao and Jinxiu are young after all, and they don't understand some things.
Seeing that Rong Hua didn't speak, Gao Jinrui's family laughed and said, "My wife is just talking nonsense." After a pause, he stepped forward and whispered, "Madame, have you heard about the third master's room?" ”
Rong Hua didn't expect Gao Jinrui's family to talk about it.
Gao Jinrui's family said: "The slave maid is old, some things are commonplace and can't help talking, it is not easy for Mrs. to have such an opportunity," he said and whispered a few words, "Although there may be no one anymore...... But there are some things that can't run...... Just find a servant...... I heard that the third master values Man'er very much, how can he let him spoil it at will and sit idly by? After such a fuss, everyone in the house knows the truth, and it is impossible for anyone to suppress it. ”
When Gao Jinrui's family said these words, their faces did not change.
would have thought of such an idea, it is really worthy of the people around the eldest lady.
Gao Jinrui's family said: "Madame can't be too soft-hearted, you must know that the current situation is that the second room is pressing our long room, if you don't give the second room a little bit of power, when will our long room turn over." Saying that, he smiled slightly, "Deacon Cui's niece Lian Rong went to the old lady first......
Ahahahaha. I'm going out tomorrow.
The recent plot is a bit foreshadowing, and it will soon become tense.
As for Xue Er's problem, it must be solved slowly, and everyone must have confidence.
At the end of the month, everyone still has pink tickets.
