Chapter Seventy-Three: Fighting Wits (Part II)

Only halfway through the portrait, Chunyao entered the door. (Niu Wen ~ Net)

Rong Hua saw that Chunyao had an anxious look on his face, so he really got up and said to the painter Mr. Chen: "Wait a while, Mr. Woman, I'll go out and come back." ”

Mr. Chen smiled understandingly, and stopped his pen to rest, and Mu Hibiscus hurriedly poured hot tea and served it to the female gentleman.

Rong Hua went out for a while, and Chunyao was in a hurry to speak.

Rong Hua lowered her head and thought about it, and when she saw Ma Daopo in the mansion, she thought that there would be such a day.

Chunyao said: "Miss Eight has to think of a way, I think Mrs. Bacheng believes it." ”

If you want to let her become a monk, the eldest lady will not agree. Just served the Buddha in the Buddha hall in the house for a few years...... Such a request is very easy to do, and it sounds very simple, but it is just to stay in the house for a few more years, do nothing else, and be trapped in the Buddhist hall.

It's just that when she really enters the Buddha Hall, I'm afraid it won't be that simple.

Regardless of whether the eldest sister can be good or not, just because Ma Daopo said that there will be any disasters in the house in the future, she will always pray in front of the Buddha, and when she is past the age of marriage, it will be too late to say anything, not to mention who can stand not changing her heart to those mud tires all day long? At that time, even if she hasn't changed, outsiders will feel weird when they look at her, what is the difference between going on like this and going to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law?

Yaohua understands the eldest wife.

Such a step-by-step approach was something that only she could have imagined.

Rong Hua nodded to Chunyao, his eyes were full of gratitude, "You go back first, so as not to be discovered, and then I will think about it." ”

Rong Hua returned to the house, sat down and let the female gentleman continue painting.

Ma Daopo's proposal should soon be rumored to come out, and the eldest lady agrees to see if she will build a Buddhist hall in the house. In the past two days, I saw the eldest lady sad for the eldest sister, a mother, at this time, all she thinks of is her own daughter, not to mention the small sacrifices of others.

Counting on the great lady's mercy? How did she die that night, and what did the eldest lady say? It's as clear as if it happened yesterday.

The female gentleman drew the portrait and showed it to Rong Hua.

Where is the comparison of Rong Hua to draw Princess Honghua, it is obviously Rong Hua above.

Rong Hua couldn't help but hesitate a little, "This ...... Mrs. Cai didn't say she wanted to draw a princess! ”

The female gentleman said: "I discussed with my wife before I came, I am afraid that it will be distorted according to the painting, and in the end the painting is not like anyone, it is better to paint Miss directly." It's much better than something that is visible and godless. ”

Rong Hua smiled and sent the female gentleman away.

When the female gentleman walked away, Mu Hibiscus also came back from outside, and saw that the jade was lazy on the side, so she whispered: "Mrs. Cai, the Marquis of Yicheng, is here, presumably to pick up the eldest lady back." ”

The eldest sister can't stand the toss, and she should live in the house for a few days.

Rong Hua asked Jinxiu to inquire quietly, what Mrs. Cai said.

After a while, Jinxiu came back, Rong Hua put down the book in his hand and asked, "How is it?" ”

Jinxiu said: "Mrs. Cai and the eldest lady were talking in the room, their voices were very small, and most of them were not heard clearly, as if they were related to Wu Muhou. But another thing was heard. Jinxiu got closer, leaned over Rong Hua and said, "Mrs. Cai's sister, Hua Guifei, has been crowned the imperial concubine." ”

Rong Hua couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, this is a great thing. The more big a tree is in the Yichenghou Mansion, the more reluctant his father is to let go, not to mention that there is such a fuss as Yaohua, it is impossible to marry her to the Yichenghou Mansion.

Jinxiu talked about Ma Daopo again, "Miss, can that thing work?" ”

Rong Hua smiled, it can only be like this if it is okay or not, even if she arranges it carefully, there may be mistakes in the middle, "Don't worry, there shouldn't be too many problems." ”

Jinxiu clasped her hands together and prayed, "Don't make a mistake." ”

Rong Hua said: "Is there any movement over there in Yaohua?" ”

Jinxiu shook her head, "No." ”

Shuhua has been there a few times, but she hasn't seen Yaohua, with Yaohua's temperament, she should serve in front of her sister's bed, so it seems that although the eldest lady didn't say it on the surface, she had secretly punished Yaohua for thinking about it behind closed doors, although such a small punishment and a big precept are nothing to others, but for Yaohua, who has never been punished, it is already very serious.

"What about the first dawn?"

Jinxiu said: "I have beaten a few sticks and am recuperating in the house." "It's not as simple as just beating a few sticks, it depends on who will deal with Chu Xiao next.

Rong Hua thought for a while and ordered, "Be careful and see who will come to the mansion in the next two days." ”

……

Mrs. Cai, Marquis of Yicheng, came back from Tao Mansion, and Zhao Xuande and his family were already waiting in the main house, and dinner was ready.

Mrs. Cai glanced at Zhao Xuande, "Has your eldest brother come back?" ”

Zhao Xuande said: "I didn't come back, my eldest brother sent someone back to say that there were still some things in the military department and I wouldn't come back for dinner." ”

Mrs. Cai was a little unhappy, "How much can the military department do, he is outside all day, and I haven't seen him like this before." "Now I go home less and less, and as soon as I go home, I go into the study, what is going on with Xuan Huan and Shuhua? Although Shuhua sometimes has a little temper, it doesn't come to this point, Xuan Huan has always been gentle to people, but his wife who gets along day and night makes it like this.

The second grandmother, Liu, waited for Mrs. Cai to change her clothes, with a smile on her face, "You went to see your sister-in-law?" ”

Mrs. Cai said: "If you don't go to see it with your own eyes, I don't feel at ease." ”

Liu looked sideways at Mrs. Cai's face and asked, "How is my sister-in-law?" Is there any better? ”

Mrs. Cai didn't show it on her face, "It's still the same, I'm afraid it will take a while to recuperate." ”

Liu said tentatively: "My father knows an old gentleman, who was originally from the Tai Hospital, and now Zhishi is at home, and that old gentleman is very good at seeing the woman's illness, do you want to invite him to come over and show your sister-in-law." ”

Mrs. Cai's face showed a hint of joy, "The consultation fee and thank you gifts are indispensable, you have to let people come to the house in person to invite," and glanced at Liu again, "I want to thank your father, it is more appropriate than anything else to have this relationship in it." ”

This means that as long as she knows the residence of the old imperial doctor, she will not let her mother's family interfere again, and she can't say too much to her mother's family, so as not to let outsiders know.

In this way, the sister-in-law's illness must be serious, Liu nodded and smiled, "Mother, don't worry." ”

Mrs. Cai sat down and asked the maids to prepare the vegetables.

Zhao Xuande said: "I thought my mother would accompany my grandmother to be lively over there." ”

Mrs. Cai smiled, "We will officially hold a banquet tomorrow to celebrate, and we will all have to go over then." ”

Zhao Xuande's face was beaming with joy, "It's good now, the saint has crowned the imperial concubine, and the mother is expensive by virtue of the son, and now there is only one step away." As soon as I said this, I felt my wife kick my foot.

Mrs. Cai really sank her face.

Zhao Xuande smiled, "Isn't this at home?" ”

Mrs. Cai didn't say anything. After eating, he went back to the house and lay down.

Zhao Xuande was told by his wife, "There are many people in the house, you can't learn from the eldest brother to be more stable?" The net provoked the mother to be unhappy. ”

……

In the evening, Zhao Xuanhuan finally returned to the house, went into the house and changed his clothes to greet Mrs. Cai.

Mrs. Cai was playing chess with the girl in the house, and when she saw Zhao Xuanhuan coming back, the girl got up smartly and blessed Zhao Xuanhuan, and hurriedly poured tea.

Zhao Xuanhuan saluted Mrs. Cai.

Mrs. Cai beckoned, "Come here, finish playing this chess with me." ”

Zhao Xuanhuan sat down to look at the chess game and held the white son.

Mrs. Cai looked at her son's face while playing chess, still gentle, even if she pursed her lips, her lips were raised, as if she was smiling faintly.

"I went to see Shuhua today."

Zhao Xuanhuan paused for a moment and asked, "How is she?" ”

Mrs. Cai said: "I don't think it's very good, my face is getting more and more yellow, I'm just afraid of ......" sighed again, "Your second brother and sister said that your father-in-law knows an old imperial doctor who is good at women's diseases, I think Shuhua will come back in two days, so I will go and ask the old gentleman to come over to the house." ”

Zhao Xuanhuan seemed to be fascinated by the full plate of chess pieces, and it took a long time before he said: "I'll inquire again to see if there is a better Langzhong, and invite him to the house." On the surface, it is a gentle answer, but in fact, it is rejected. I don't want to reveal what I'm thinking.

What was going on in this child's heart, she couldn't even figure out what she was a mother with. If you want to say that he doesn't like Shuhua's character, he hasn't seen anyone close to him over the years, and there are a lot of beautiful maids in the house, so he can't look down on any of them? Either he doesn't go home, he hides in the study as soon as he gets home, and he doesn't see his favorite chess play a few times.

The maid brought the tea and withdrew.

Zhao Xuanhuan said: "Is my grandmother okay?" ”

Mrs. Cai put down a black chess piece and took out two white pieces, "Fortunately, although it is slightly different from what I expected before...... "If the Nine Emperor Princes can get married and go out of the palace as soon as possible, and then make a prince, that is the youngest prince among the princes, this status will be different." My sister was originally a concubine, and now she is promoted to the imperial concubine, although she is promoted to the first rank, she is still under the queen. In addition, the previous request for Guining was also rejected...... No one can be sure of the thoughts above.

Zhao Xuanhuan comforted: "These things are not urgent. ”

Mrs. Cai nodded, played chess for a while, and turned her gaze back to Zhao Xuanhuan, "How did I ask you before?" ”

The chess pieces that Zhao Xuanhuan was going to put down picked up again.

"That's what your father meant, and I'm sure I've told you before."

Zhao Xuanhuan frowned slightly.

Mrs. Cai said: "You can choose one!" If you think it's a little better, you tell me, I'll go find my wife. It is already clear in the words that the relationship with Shuhua was too hasty before, and now it has come to this point, "I think Shuhua's younger sisters are excellent." ”

Zhao Xuanhuan thought for a long time, and finally dropped the chess piece, "I'll go see Shuhua in the past two days." ”

The mother and son were playing chess, and Ding's mother came in and said, "Mr. Chen is here, and the painting taken into the palace has been painted." ”

Mrs. Cai smiled: "Quickly invite the lady in." ”

This Mr. Chen came from a famous family of calligraphy and painting, good at character depiction since childhood, and later married a military attaché, the military attache died in the west, after being widowed, he devoted himself to painting, Mrs. Cai wanted to find a gentleman to paint, and Mrs. Cai's wife, who grew up with him, recommended this female gentleman. This female gentleman is the best at grabbing people's expressions for a moment, often interpreting people vividly, and Mrs. Cai has also seen her previous works before letting her paint.

Mr. Chen walked in front, and the maid behind him carefully held the scroll, and Mr. Chen saw Mrs. Cai saluting and said, "The ink has just dried, and Mrs. will be busy sending it over if she wants to see it." As he spoke, he turned and stood aside.

Mrs. Cai's eyes suddenly lit up when she looked over, and the painting was like a real person, but those eyes were more radiant than what she saw, and that temperament really gave her a very familiar feeling.

Zhao Xuanhuan also turned his head to look at the painting.

The woman in the painting is beautiful and elegant, like a fairy, especially the eyes that seem to flow like a stream, revealing a tenacity and calmness.

Zhao Xuanhuan was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Cai turned her head and saw the look on her son's face, paused, then smiled meaningfully, and then instructed the maid, "Put this painting away." He called the female gentleman over for tea, talked for a while, and sent the female gentleman away, and Mrs. Cai came back to talk to Zhao Xuanhuan and said, "The painting is Miss Tao Ba, and it really looks a little similar to your aunt." The concubine will definitely like this painting when she sees it. ”

Mrs. Cai paused and said, "If you have a candidate in your heart, tell me that we can talk before the in-laws' wife makes a decision." ”

Zhao Xuanhuan didn't speak, Mrs. Cai didn't ask anymore, and after playing the remnants of chess, the mother and son went to rest.

……

The next day, the old lady came over to marry the grandson of the Zhuangzi, and said a few words in the old lady's house, and the grandson went to the second lady's house to send some Zhuangshang specialties.

Then I talked to a few acquaintances in the courtyard.

I don't know which mother-in-law asked about the daughter-in-law of the grandson.

"It was a short-lived, and when I gave birth to a baby, the mother and child were gone."

"But you've found a family again?"

Sun blinked, "Not yet." That being said, his eyes were already looking at the second lady's yard.

Mu Hibiscus came back from outside and whispered in Rong Hua's ear: "The old lady also often calls the people from Zhuangzi to come over and talk. But this grandson's daughter-in-law just came a while ago. ”

"Didn't you go to the second lady?"

Hibiscus nodded.

That's it. It must be for the sake of looking at each other, and it seems that she is not wrong in her analysis.

The two of them were talking, and they heard the people outside: "Why is Sister Chunyao here?" ”

Mu Hibiscus hurriedly opened the curtain and let Chunyao in.

When Chunyao saw Rong Hua, he immediately smiled and said, "Eighth Miss, the old lady and the eldest lady let the young lady come over." ”

Hibiscus asked in a low voice, "Just our young lady?" ”

Chunyao said: "There is also the second miss." ”

Rong Hua's heart moved.

Chunyao smiled slightly, "It's a good thing, someone from Wumuhou Mansion is here, probably to invite Mrs. and Miss to come over as guests." ”

Only then did Mu Hibiscus put his mind at ease and happily went to find clothes for Rong Hua.

The drama of the Wumuhou Mansion.

Zhao Da's play.

Hey hey at the critical moment. Miss Eight's marriage is coming soon.

Tomorrow we will announce the list of signed books. Everyone should pay attention.
