Chapter 20: Changing Ends (I)
The eldest lady had dinner, and Miss Eight came and brought a good leg warmer.
The eldest lady happened to have some faint pain in her leg these days, and she smiled when she saw this, "It's rare to have your filial piety, I'll give it a try later." ”
Rong Hua opened his mouth twice and didn't say anything, and quietly looked at Mother Chen, who was beside the eldest lady, Mother Chen smiled, and Rong Hua said: "Mother uses this for the first time, I'm afraid that the people around me will not serve well, why not let my daughter dress it now?" ”
The eldest lady smiled: "Where is this? You need to wear this thing closely, right? It's always inconvenient. ”
Rong Hua said: "This is for my mother's illness, the sooner you bring it, the better, and it is not okay to bring it illegally." ”
Chen's mother also persuaded on the side: "The master is not at home, and there is nothing else to do at night, so it is better for the wife to try it, and besides, there is nothing convenient or inconvenient about this is a cure." ”
Dong Rui also said: "Mrs. said that her leg was uncomfortable this morning, and it is just right for Miss Eight to send it now." ”
The eldest lady was persuaded by everyone, so she no longer insisted, and smiled at Rong Hua kindly, "Then try it, it's just going to make you hard." ”
Rong Hua smiled stiffly, "Whatever the mother says, this is what the daughter should share." ”
Chen's mother and Dong Rui helped serve the eldest lady to lie down, and Chunyao and Mu Hibiscus helped Rong Hua prepare hot ashes for leg warming.
Asked the maid to bring a charcoal basin again, Rong Hua roasted his hands hot, and then took the medicinal oil to the bedside of the eldest lady, Dong Rui pulled up the bead tent, the eldest lady leaned on the red embroidered back to lead the pillow, covered with a floral brocade quilt, Rong Hua sat over, carefully exposed the eldest lady's knees, and slowly rubbed it with his hands.
The eldest lady immediately felt that the affected area was sore and painful, but after the soreness, there was a rare comfort. She glanced at Rong Hua, she lowered her head and concentrated, well-behaved and supple, the eldest lady remembered the guests she had seen on the day of Shuhua's wedding, but the daughters-in-law of the Houmen family were all calm temperament, gentle temperament, generous and decent, especially to the in-laws It was a rare courtesy, she was also envious at that time, but unfortunately there was no one around.
is like Shuhua's temperament, even if she tries her best to marry into the Hou Mansion, she is not happy in front of Mrs. Hou. Although Yanhua is a little smart, it is okay to compete for favor between mothers-in-law and aunts, but it can't be on the big stage.
The skin soaked by the medicinal oil became red and soft, Rong Hua took the leg warmer from Chunyao's hand, and then raised his head to look at the eldest wife, "It's going to be a little hot, mother bear with it." ”
The eldest lady nodded. Rong Hua carefully attached the warm leg to the eldest lady's knees, and then tied it with a strap, everyone looked at the appearance of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady smiled and nodded, "Where is it hot, just right, it seems to dispel the cool air inside, this thing is really useful." ”
Rong Huafu wanted to rub the other leg again, but the eldest lady didn't follow, "You are tired for a long time, so you will command the girls to do it, and you can sit down and rest." ”
Dong Rui took it and pressed Rong Hua on the bed, "Mrs. feels sorry for Miss, Miss just taught me." ”
Rong Hua seemed to be a little flattered, and only smiled shyly on the side, helping while teaching Dong Rui.
The two leg warmers were brought, and Rong Hua saw that the eldest lady's eyelids were a little sinking, so she thoughtfully retreated.
The eldest lady raised her eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, I suddenly remembered that the winter clothes for your sisters are ready, so you can choose a set you like first." As he spoke, he asked Chen's mother to open the cage.
As soon as the cage was opened, Rong Hua walked over to see, there were several sets of winter shirts in three stacks, which were clearly the share of three people, she had only been in the house for a few days, and no one had gone to her to measure the size, but now the winter clothes have been ready.
The eldest lady just told her that even if she was outside the house, the eldest lady was not completely ignorant of her situation.
She and Yaohua and Yanhua are already on par, no matter who of them wears these clothes, the eldest lady asked her to choose, ostensibly because she did something that made the eldest lady happy, but in fact, it was ...... It's not that simple.
There were not only winter clothes in the cage, but also newly made phoenix tail pleated skirts, Confucian jackets and plackets.
The materials of these clothes are exquisite and the ones she brought back from the house cannot be compared, just saying that Ronghua does not have such beautiful clothes, even if it is Yanhua, it may not necessarily have it.
No matter which girl looks at the beautiful clothes, she will like them, and Rong Hua chose one of them, which is neither eye-catching in style nor color, but also generous.
The eldest lady looked at it and smiled kindly, "Okay, let's go down and rest!" ”
Rong Hua and Chunyao withdrew, and the eldest lady instructed Chen's mother, "Let Yanhua come in and choose a set of clothes." ”
Chen's mother hurriedly went to find Miss Six.
Yanhua entered the big lady's house, and didn't notice that the house was any different from usual, Chen's mother led her straight to open the cage, and when she saw these clothes, Yanhua was even more happy, without saying a word, she stretched out her hand to pick and choose, and finally took a set of the most colorful hundred butterflies to wear a flower jacket, and the lower body was a colorful dark flower silk pleated skirt, Yanhua lifted the clothes and looked at them, smiling with a pink face.
When he got these clothes, Advantech suddenly thought, "What about Mother?" ”
Chen's mother said: "The eldest lady is resting in the warm pavilion, and I ordered me to wait for the young lady to look at the clothes." ”
Advantech didn't ask again.
Mother Chen couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth coldly, the clothes could be picked so carefully, and the slight differences had to be considered, but she didn't have the patience to care about her mother anymore.
Advantech lifted the clothes and asked Xiangqiao next to him, "How is this?" ”
This kind of workmanship is naturally magnificent, and Xiangqiao is also happy, "It's not as bright as that, but the young lady is just as beautiful as she wears." ”
Advantech threw the rest back into the cage, "I think so, bright colors are what match me." After taking all the clothes, he said to Chen's mother again: "I will come back tomorrow morning to greet my mother." ”
Mother Chen naturally smiled politely.
Miss Six has been so presumptuous all these years, the eldest lady has ordered her once, but she still hasn't relented, it's still like this, Mrs. has worked hard all these years in vain.
Chen's mother sent Yanhua out, and Yanhua found that Chen's mother was not enthusiastic about her in the past, and it was related to the last time she was scolded by the eldest lady in the blue yarn cupboard, and secretly scolded the slaves in her heart for looking down on people, but there was another thing in her mouth, "My mother has always thought about me first over the years, even if she scolds me, it is because I am intimate, you know that only close people will be like this." ”
Mother Chen sneered in her heart, but said, "What Miss said is true." In the past, Miss Six did give her some benefits, and she accepted it because she knew that the eldest lady had no one available except Miss Six, but now that the situation has changed, the tolerance for Miss Six in her heart has disappeared without a trace.
Chen's mother returned to the house.
The eldest lady was closing her eyes and recuperating, "Which one did you choose?" ”
Chen's mother said: "Miss Six compared it, and the bright colors still make her look better." ”
The eldest lady sneered, "No wonder it's been so long." ”
Chen's mother said: "Ladies also love beauty. ”
The eldest lady's face was very bad, "I'm afraid that I won't do anything else except superficial work,"
Chen's mother stood aside and stopped talking.
It took a long time for the eldest lady to sigh, "Shuhua is a careless person, it seems that I still have to make up my mind about this matter." ”
Rong Hua handed the clothes to Mu Hibiscus, who happily put them away, "This set of clothes is just right to wear in the past two days." ”
Chunyao also smiled: "Yes, in a few days to worship the ancestors on the winter solstice, the young lady will wear this set of clothes." ”
Rong Hua nodded.
Chunyao brought the tea and said, "Mrs. asked Miss to pick out clothes first, which shows that she is satisfied with Miss." ”
Chunyao has never said such a thing, Rong Hua has always been intimate with her, Chun Yao really thought about Rong Hua at this time, and took a closer look at it today.
Although the eldest lady didn't say it, she was really satisfied with Miss Eight in her heart.
Rong Hua felt tired, and slept peacefully, Mu Hibiscus put down the curtain, turned off the light, and slept outside the warm pavilion, Chun Yao slept outside, after a while, Mu Hibiscus heard that there was no sound outside, and knew that Chun Yao was asleep, so he slowly got up, walked inside by the moonlight, and called Rong Hua softly, Rong Hua opened his eyes, his eyes were shining and he was not sleepy.
Mu Hibiscus said: "Miss, I heard from the maids below that today Lang Zhong entered the mansion to see a doctor for the second lady. ”
This is not surprising, the eldest lady often finds some well-known Lang Zhong to enter the mansion to diagnose the pulse of the second lady.
"When Lang Zhong left, the eldest lady also sent it out herself."
What kind of Langzhong can make the eldest lady care so much. Rong Hua carefully recalled the scene of seeing the eldest lady today, and the eldest lady kept stretching her eyebrows and eyes, and smiled a lot.
If she remembered correctly, in the past, whenever Lang Zhong checked the pulse of the second lady, the eldest lady's mood would plummet.
Is this time different from the previous ones? Second Miss's illness, perhaps, can be cured?
If that's the case, then no matter how much she plans, it's too late......
In the eldest lady's heart, no one can shake that person's position, as long as that person gets better, the rest of the people will all be reduced to pawns.
