Chapter Seventy-Four: Fighting Wits (II)

Rong Hua asked, "Who is here?" ”

Chunyao said: "It's Mrs. Xue's younger sister and the second aunt of Marquis Wumu." ”

Rong Hua remembered what Jinxiu had inquired from Liuli, Wu Muhou's grandmother, Princess Heshuo, did not like the eldest grandson, Marquis Wu Mu, but the grandson who liked the second room.

Now it is Wu Muhou's second aunt who has come to run this trip, so when it comes to marrying the Tao family, Mrs. Xue already knows.

After Chunyao finished speaking, he went back to his life, Rong Hua asked Mu Hibiscus to take the apricot yellow dark plum blossom collar placket, or wear pearl earrings, the whole person only looked very soft, and then went to the old lady's millennial house.

Rong Hua entered the house, looked up, and saw a lady sitting next to the old lady, wearing a crimson embroidered gold makeup folded branch gown, combing the heart bun and wearing a filigree gold inlaid jade pendant gemstone on the front, and inserting a delicate gilt butterfly flower hairpin on the right, which looked graceful and rich at a glance. Second Mrs. Xue's dress is much more luxurious than Mrs. Xue, the wife of Duke An Guo, who inherited the title.

Rong Hua looked at the old lady Tao and the eldest lady again, they were also carefully dressed, and their faces were not inferior to that lady, thinking that they had already received the news that the Hou Mansion was coming.

The eldest lady kept looking out, and there was a hint of disappointment when she saw her, but she still smiled, "This is Eighth Miss Ronghua." ”

The main owner that the eldest lady was waiting for had not yet arrived, Rong Hua smiled slightly, and it was too obvious to ask Yaohua to come over, so she asked Chunyao to call her, just to be a foil for Yaohua. She also obediently wore an inconspicuous garment, and the eldest lady would surely be satisfied.

Rong Hua stepped forward to salute Second Mrs. Xue.

Second Mrs. Xue stepped forward to help Rong Hua up, her eyes turned around her face, and said with a smile: "No wonder, the young lady of Tao Mansion is so beautiful." ”

No wonder where to start? As you may hear, there is a special meaning in these words. This second Mrs. Xue is not only here to deliver posts, but also to ask for directions.

Second Mrs. Xue smiled and said: "I heard that the young ladies of Taofu are all knowledgeable and courteous, and they are really from a family of poetry and books. ”

It's good to hear about it, but the word sister-in-law is particularly important. It seems that there must be someone who is not happy with this family business, otherwise why would Mrs. Xue say such things to praise their sisters.

The person who didn't approve of it was Mrs. Xue.

The eldest lady said politely: "Let the lady see it." ”

Second Mrs. Xue said: "Where is this, but what about treating my sister as an outsider?" "The more I talk, the closer I become, especially the fine lines that smile at the corners of my eyes, which seem to be good to people without adulteration at all.

Everyone laughed, and Yaohua came into the house.

When the main lord arrived, Second Mrs. Xue's eyes brightened a little.

Yaohua wore a magenta Confucian jacket, with pink makeup and gold-trimmed jackets on the outside, pink flowers on her head, and one or two hairpins inlaid with red treasure sideburns.

Yaohua saluted, and Second Mrs. Xue also helped her up and looked at her carefully, her hand touched Yaohua's fingers, and she couldn't help but say, "Why is Second Miss's hands so cold." As he spoke, he handed over the hand stove in his hand, "Warm up." ”

The eldest lady's face changed slightly, but she smiled and said, "It's still Mrs. who will feel distressed." ”

Rong Hua only pursed his lips and smiled.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Xue said, "I have delivered the post, and I will have someone come to pick it up tomorrow," she said, and glanced at the old lady, "I'll invite the old lady." ”

Mrs. Tao hurriedly smiled and shook her hand, "I can't go like this, I'm just afraid that I'm going to cause trouble to you, I am grateful for Mrs. Xue's kindness, and I have to bother Mrs. Xue to go back and thank me for it." ”

Second Mrs. Xue smiled again: "Where is the old lady, if you say this, it's all your own family, why be polite." ”

For the second time, such a relationship was brought closer. The first time is polite, and the second time is to take a stand.

Second Mrs. Xue got up, "It's too much time to come out, I should go back too," and saluted the old lady again.

Only then did everyone send Mrs. Xue out.

The second Mrs. Xue and the eldest lady said as they walked: "I heard from my sister-in-law, I met Mrs. Yichenghou in the mansion. ”

The eldest lady smiled: "It's also a coincidence, Mrs. Cai happened to be a guest in the mansion that day." ”

Second Mrs. Xue said again: "Mrs. must also know that Concubine Hua has been promoted to imperial concubine." ”

The eldest lady narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Yesterday, Mrs. Cai came over and said about it. ”

Second Mrs. Xue hurriedly said, "This is a great joy. ”

The eldest lady glanced at Second Mrs. Xue, "Not really." Mrs. Cai went to the palace today, also to celebrate the imperial concubine's thousand years. ”

Second Mrs. Xue kept mentioning the Cai family, and everyone understood the meaning of this.

Second Mrs. Xue smiled, and gradually got closer to the eldest lady, and her voice was lowered, and Rong Hua could only hear a few words, "Old lady all these years...... There aren't many banquets like this...... Hou Ye is not a person who likes to be lively...... Tomorrow he promised to ......"

When the eldest lady heard these words, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and sent Second Mrs. Xue out of the second gate all the way, and then said a lot of words reluctantly before watching Second Mrs. Xue leave.

The eldest lady took Yaohua and Ronghua back to the old lady's house.

The eldest lady smiled: "Second Mrs. Xue is a warm-hearted person. ”

Mrs. Tao picked up the teacup and drank the tea, but she didn't make a sound. Which is not warm-hearted, not only to pay attention to their own home, but also to reach out to other people's homes, Mrs. Yicheng Hou Cai is not an example.

This Second Mrs. Xue is not an idle person, otherwise with her second room without inheriting the title, how can it seem better than the long room. Xue Chongli, the eldest room, inherited the title of duke, but Xue Chongyi, the second room, really relied on the face of the family to get the real position. Now Xue Mingrui has inherited the title of his father Xue Chongli, but it is rumored outside that Xue Mingrui, the Marquis of Wumu, is an inflexible person like his father, and the one who really benefits is the second room. It's not that Xue Mingwei, the third master in the second room, assisted in the chaos and gave an additional pro-military academy.

It's just that he followed the army commander through the motions, and he got such a real position, and this gift is like falling from the sky. On the other hand, what did Wu Muhou get? Thankless errand, and carrying a black pot.

Everyone says that "the second room is lost", according to her, the second room of the Xue family is not a loss at all.

Old Lady Tao smiled and turned sideways to call Rui Qing, "Go and take out those candied fruits in my room for the young ladies to eat." Leave them alone in front of me. ”

Rui Qing came up with the candied fruit, Yaohua and Rong Hua sat on the small table, Rong Hua said: "Second sister, let's not play a game of chess!" "Yaohua is a person who doesn't like to talk, so she is naturally willing.

The old lady Tao and the eldest lady are convenient to speak.

The eldest lady said: "The second lady just said that she also invited the young lady of Chang Ningbo's family, which is also a reminder for us." ”

I'm afraid it's not a reminder! The Tao family is not as good as Chang Ningbo's mansion, which was born in Xungui, besides, the relationship between Changningbo's family and Yichenghou Mansion is also there, and being good with Changningbo's Mansion is equivalent to being good with Yichenghou's Mansion, there is no difference, "Isn't the relationship between Chang Ningbo's sons and grandsons-in-law very good?" ”

The eldest lady was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect the old lady to even know these things, and said with a smile: "Yes, we have heard of it, but we don't know what it really is, the eldest aunt is a kind person, and there have always been many people who have a good relationship with him." ”

Mrs. Tao said: "Is the youngest son of the second wife of the Xue family, the third master of the Xue family, married?" ”

She has paid special attention to the affairs of the Xue family, and some of the circumstances are naturally clear, the eldest lady said: "I haven't married the main family yet, and it has always been late for a man from the Xue family to marry a relative." ”

Mrs. Tao smiled, Chang Ningbo's daughter, such a good family affair, the second wife must have taken a fancy to herself, and when the Hou Ye married the daughter of the Tao family, the second wife of Chang Ningbo also had a chance, although they were all low and high, the second room of the Xue family could barely say that the marriage was passed in the name of the ancestors, not to mention that there was a princess grandmother who supported her grandson, and the second wife Xue was very good at calculus, but this matter was not so easy to achieve.

Mrs. Tao looked at Yaohua and Ronghua, "Who are you going to take over?" ”

The eldest lady smiled: "I just want to take Yaohua over." "Anyway, the meaning is already so clear, there is no need to bring more people.

Old Lady Tao glanced at Yaohua and Ronghua who were talking next to her.

Rong Hua and Yaohua were playing chess on the side, Rong Hua was talking to Yaohua while falling, Yaohua seemed to listen absentmindedly, and there was no smile on his face.

Old Lady Tao frowned. It is impossible to say that Yaohua didn't hear anything, since she heard it, how could she have such a reluctant expression.

This matter is settled, the eldest lady smiled, and talked about Ma Daopo, "Mother, there is something I have to ask you to get an idea." ”

Mrs. Tao took a sip of tea, "What's the matter?" ”

The eldest lady said: "Ma Daopo, who often comes to our house to greet her......" There was no disgusted expression on Mrs. Tao's face, and the eldest lady continued, "Tell me, build a shrine in the house, so as to keep the mansion safe," she said close to the old lady and said Ma Daopo's words.

Old Lady Tao's face was cloudy, "How can there be such a thing?" Our family spends a lot of incense money every year. ”

The eldest lady further said: "I didn't believe it originally, but what Ma Daopo said is reasonable. ”

Mrs. Tao thought for a moment, "That's right, to say that she, a monk, wouldn't know what happened in our family, but how could she know so clearly." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Tao had agreed, the eldest lady smiled, "That's the reason, not to mention that the eldest sister's illness is not getting better, I think maybe there will be an improvement if you try it like this." ”

Mrs. Tao sighed, "I can't say anything about this kind of thing, it's okay to build a Buddhist hall, and you have several uncles." ”

The eldest lady smiled: "There is another thing, that is, the descendants of our Tao family must often go to worship in order to be useful." ”

Old Lady Tao's eyes picked, "Where did this come from?" ”

The eldest lady said: "Because I want to eliminate karma for my family, I only have to pay attention to this. ”

Mrs. Tao hesitated, and thought about it in her heart, "There is no such manpower at home, but it is not easy to do." Otherwise, if you carry a maid to do it, as long as you put it in the name of the house, the Buddha will not blame you. ”

The eldest lady smiled, her voice was not loud or small, and the whole room could hear it, "That's not good, you have to match the eight characters in our house." Coincidentally, our Miss Eight's eight characters are excellent. ”

Hearing this, Rong Hua put down the chess pieces and glanced at Yaohua, Yaohua also didn't know what to do, and the two of them stood up together and sat next to the eldest lady.

Since the eldest lady has already said this, she can't pretend that she didn't hear it, anyway, she can't hide from it, so it's better to face it. Rong Hua raised his head, a soft light flashed in his eyes, "Ma Daopo said this, it must be reasonable, and the eldest sister is like this, I don't know what to do if I want to help," said with a slight smile, with a smile in his eyes, "I am also willing to serve the Buddha, as long as I can keep the house safe......"

When the eldest lady heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, Rong Hua was willing to do that, it was very good, she saw that Shuhua was like a day by day, and her heart was like a knife, so she was in a hurry to talk to the old lady today.

Mrs. Tao also kept looking at Rong Hua, the appearance of the child made people feel distressed to look at, every time she saw her, she was so supple and well-behaved, and now she made this kind of request, she actually responded like this.

The eldest lady looked at Rong Hua and said, "It's rare that you have this heart, if your eldest sister can get better, she will ...... in the future" As soon as she said this, she heard someone outside shouting, "Second master, second master, what are you going to do?" The old lady and the wife are here. ”

The eldest lady moved her compelling gaze to look outside, Rong Hua relieved her heart, Brother Hong came.

Everyone in the house looked out, especially Mrs. Tao told Rui Qing to lift the curtain, "Go and see if Brother Hong is here." ”

The eldest lady also wondered, "Didn't this kid go to school?" Why did you come back so early. ”

Rui Qing just opened the curtain, and the seer saw Brother Hong open his robe and walk in, followed by Brother Hong's scholar Moyu and Shi Yan, and the two scholars came in with a nun in their hands.

When everyone saw it, it was Ma Daopo.

Ma Daopo begged urgently, "Second master, second master, what's going on?" Seeing the old lady and the eldest lady, "Old lady, eldest lady, let the second master let go of me." ”

Mo Yu and Shi Yan had received Brother Hong's order before, so they had to wait until they were in the house before the two of them worked together to push Ma Daopo to the ground.

Ma Daopo suddenly screamed "oops" and fell to the ground.

The eldest lady saw that Brother Hong was angry, Ma Daopo crawled over and begged again, and the eldest lady frowned and looked at Brother Hong, "What's going on?" ”

Brother Hong took something out of his sleeve and threw it on the ground, "Grandmother, mother, look what this magic stick has done." ”

Looking at the things on the ground, Ma Daopo's face changed suddenly, and she suddenly shouted, "Wronged, wronged!" Second master, you can't talk nonsense. ”

The eldest lady took a closer look at what was on the ground.

On the ground were a few paper figures and some messy charms.

The eldest lady said, "What is this?" ”

Brother Hong stepped forward and said, "It's all the harmful things that this mother-in-law gave me." ”

Ma Daopo suddenly cried and cried out, "But there is no such thing, but there is no such thing." ”

I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow. Hehe, go pack your things.
