The fourth grandmother immediately stopped mentioning the matter of helping Shi Niang, changed the topic with a smile, and talked to Shi Niang about the fifth aunt.

“…… I used to have little contact, but I only heard that the fifth aunt didn't care much about people, and I thought that my aunt was arrogant. Now that I have more contact, I know that the fifth aunt is just introverted, but in fact, she is very kind to others. ”

"Thanks to the fourth grandmother's compliment." Eleven Niang greeted her softly, "My aunt is introverted, but in fact she is a little soft. Now being able to get along with the fourth grandmother is also a rare fate. ”

The fourth grandmother nodded and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, everyone has a misunderstanding, and sometimes there is less communication. Sometimes, it's better to move around a lot. ”

"yes......"

The two talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the Maoguo Mansion.

Wang Lang's body is still spread out in the Shuntian Mansion, and the Wang family has no way to mourn, let alone mourn. Although there was no silver covering, the red drapery and furnishings were replaced by dark blue, and the servants were dressed in dark dresses.

Luo Zhenxing was welcomed to the main hall by the stewards, and the eldest * grandmother, eleven mother, and fourth grandmother were led to Mrs. Wang by a housekeeper mother of the Wang family.

“…… A few distinguished guests are not strange. When Mrs. Wang heard the news, she fell. Big * milk is also sick in bed. It happened that the sixth lady returned to Beijing to visit. I can't help but feel sorry for my parents, brother and daughter-in-law, and help take care of some trivial matters. It is inevitable that there will be inconsiderate places, and please bear with me. ”

The housekeeper's mother was in her early thirties, with a good appearance, wearing a beautiful blue silk cotton jacket, and dressed plainly and capably. Listening to the tone, it didn't look like a maid of the Wang family. Eleven Niang couldn't help but look at her a few times.

The mother in charge saw that Eleven Niang was looking at her, and she didn't avoid it, and smiled and blessed Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang looked a little strange, and felt that this housekeeper seemed to be very kind to herself.

The big * also heard it. Seeing that she spoke and acted very decently, she didn't dare to underestimate her, and said politely: "What is your mother's surname?" Listening to this tone, it turned out to be Mrs. Jiang's side serving. ”

"Don't dare to call your surname." The mother replied very respectfully, "My surname is Yuan, and my name is Baozhu." My uncle and grandmother called it Baozhu's family. It's just because something like this happened in the Maoguo Mansion that the sixth lady asked me to help. ”

In this way, it turned out to be the person next to Mrs. Jiang. No wonder there is such a bearing.

The big * grandmother suddenly said, "It turned out to be Mother Yuan." When something like this suddenly happens at home, no one can stand it. The good thing is that we are not outsiders. You're welcome. ”

Mother Yuan smiled modestly, bowed her head and said "yes", and lightly accompanied them into the main courtyard of Mrs. Tai.

As soon as she walked under the eaves, before the little maid could lift the curtain, a sneer suddenly came from the house.

“…… What my aunt and grandmother said was really unpleasant. The water spilled by the married daughter. You're here. We're here to help. But the affairs of the family have your own brother and younger brothers. It's never the turn of my aunt and grandmother to point fingers. The Wang family is not without sons. ”

That's a very unkind way.

"There's no place for you to speak here." The female voice who retorted was high-pitched and sharp, "Don't forget, this is the Mansion of the Duke of Mao, and the Duke of Maoguo is my father." ”

The person who spoke was Mrs. Jiang Wang Lin.

The three of them pondered the meaning of these words, and couldn't help but look at each other and were stunned at the door.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lang's bones were not cold, and the contradictions of the Wang family had become superficial.

Mother Yuan's face turned red, and she immediately said in a loud voice: "Sixth lady, the two uncles and grandmothers of the Luo family, and the aunt and grandmother, Mrs. Yongpinghou, are here." ”

There was silence in the room for a moment, and immediately someone lifted the curtain.

"Come in, come in, come in."

Eleven Niang looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Jiang who came to lift the curtain herself.

Her eyes were bloodshot, crow's feet were long, and her face was very haggard. A forced smile appeared.

Big * milk, fourth grandmother and eleven mother exchanged a look, and then big * milk whispered "Thank you Mrs. Jiang", and led the fourth grandmother and eleven mother into the house.

Mrs. Wang's main house has five rooms with one ear room each, and the center is the hall. It's full of people at the moment. Some are gorgeously dressed, some are ordinary. The older ones are in their sixties, and the younger ones are in their twenties. All of them had solemn expressions and indifferent eyes, and they couldn't tell who was arguing with Mrs. Jiang just now.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy.

When I saw someone come in, some people showed wariness in their eyes, and several women shrunk their shoulders with a look of fear.

Mrs. Jiang casually pointed to the people in the house: "I heard that Brother Lang had an accident, and I came to mourn." After speaking, he didn't introduce them, and led them straight to the west inner room, "Mother is sick in bed, and she neglects you. ”

The three of them hurriedly followed Mrs. Jiang into the inner room.

The inner room is different from the outside.

The room was filled with the faint smell of medicine, and two maids of fifteen or sixteen years old and a mother in her fifties were carefully serving in front of the bed, all three of them with red eyes and a sad face.

Seeing Mrs. Jiang coming in, they all stepped forward to salute, and their attitude was very respectful.

Mrs. Jiang waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Mother is better!" ”

The mother replied in a low voice, "I took the medicine and just rested." ”

Mrs. Jiang looked apologetic.

The big * grandmother didn't wait for Mrs. Jiang to speak, and said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, we won't bother." When the old lady wakes up, she will greet us on our behalf. ”

Mrs. Jiang thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." I'll go with you to see Shi Niang. Speaking of which, she doesn't feel good these days. As he spoke, the corners of his eyes were slightly wet.

When the three of them saw Mrs. Jiang's attitude, they were slightly relieved. With Mrs. Jiang out of the inner room, go to Shi Niang.

Shi Niang's place is the opposite of the old lady's. The three main rooms were deserted, and a little maid of eight or nine years old stood listlessly at the door. Seeing Mrs. Jiang bringing someone over, she saluted in a panic and hurriedly went in to say goodbye.

When they approached, the silver bottle had opened the curtain.

"Auntie, aunt, aunt."

"You big * ......," Mrs. Jiang asked in a low voice.

Yinhua's eyes were red, and he said in a low voice: "Sitting in front of the window in a daze!" ”

Mrs. Jiang sighed when she heard this, and turned to explain to Da * Grandma and the others: "Since I knew that Brother Lang had an accident, my brother and daughter-in-law often sat on the big kang near the window in a daze. If there is any rudeness to wait, please don't be surprised by the two aunts and aunts. ”

Will Shi Niang be sad about Wang Lang's death?

Eleven Niang sounded a little confused.

But the big * grandmother said: "She is young, and when she encounters such a thing, her heart is naturally as uncomfortable as a knife." We are her mother's family, so there is no strange reason. ”

The two exchanged a few polite words and entered the inner room.

There was a thin woman sitting on the big kang near the window in the inner room. She wore a lake-colored brocade jacket and a moon-white skirt, and sat quietly on the big kang near the window, quiet like a lifeless puppet.

The golden lotus with red and swollen eyes like walnuts served on the side.

"Big * grandma, aunt and aunt, fourth uncle and aunt have come to see you!"

The silver bottle cautiously stepped forward.

The man on the kang turned his head.

Her face was thin and pale, her nose was pointed, and her eyes were a little large with dark dizziness.

Eleven Niang had a moment of sluggishness.

This, is Shi Niang? The Shi Niang who is as proud as a peacock and as gorgeous as a summer flower?

"Tenth aunt and grandmother ......" the big * milk said with choked up.

Shi Niang glanced at them blankly, turned her head again, and looked straight out of the window, as if there was some rare beauty outside the window that made her linger.

"Auntie grandma," Jin Lian stepped forward to salute them, "Grandma has been in a bad mood these two days. He hurriedly brought the brocade over again, "Uncle and grandmother, fourth uncle and grandmother, aunt and wife, aunt and grandmother, please take a seat." ”

The four of them sat down, and the silver bottle and the golden lotus made tea.

The big * milk asked about the living conditions of the silver bottle and the golden lotus ten mothers.

“…… Although I still eat three meals a day, I eat less than usual. I don't like to talk anymore. Often, sitting alone is a day. ”

It's not bad to be able to eat!

Eleven Niang sighed slightly.

Everyone was speechless for a while, silently drinking tea.

Mrs. Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "Let the two aunts and aunts laugh." The family is unfortunate. My brother Lang has not yet been buried, and people who want to get a piece of the pie can't sit still. "A posture that wants to talk to them.

The eldest * grandmother did care about Shi Niang, and when she saw that Mrs. Jiang had this tone, she didn't avoid it, and asked directly, "Who are those?" What did they say? ”

Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the people of the Luo family had accosted her.

"My great-great-grandfather's generation was a single one. When it comes to Brother Lang's generation, they are all side branches of the five suits. On weekdays, I don't get a lot of relief from my father. How do you know that something happened to Brother Lang, and no one cares who is the perpetrator? Did Brother Lang die unjustly? I only know that I rushed out and said that my room was closest to us, and asked my father to choose a successor from among them, and ask the Ministry of Rites to report to the Holy God as soon as possible. As she spoke, her eyes were like sharp arrows, "Who is Shuntianfu arresting?" It is Ren Kun's personal servant. He is a pariah, how can he have so much courage to dare to kill the prince of the Maoguo Mansion. Either it was instigated by that Ren Kun, or it was sinned by that Ren Kunding. Whatever it is, the culprit is Ren Kun, how can I let him get away with it? ”

She gritted her teeth, "Those people are greedy for profit, and they say that the Shuntian Mansion has been decided, and they just need to wait for the execution after the autumn." What is there to look up. I made something out of nothing, completely because I was afraid that the son of the Maoguo Mansion would not be my brother in the future, and I would not be able to get the benefits of my mother's family......"

At this point, her eyes turned red. "But Daddy is a soft-eared man. Listening to the instigation of those people, I was afraid that the Wang family would lose their title due to the loss of the heir. Agree to choose one of those families to succeed. If it weren't for the fact that those families also had their own plans. I'm afraid that the heir's son has already reported to the Ministry of Rites. ”

She looked at Eleven Niang and wiped her tears, "I only pity my brother and daughter-in-law, to suffer such a ordeal......"

Eleven Niang heard a little taste.

She looked at the eldest grandmother and the fourth grandmother.

The big * grandmother was accompanying Mrs. Jiang to wipe her tears.

The fourth grandmother looked at her.

The eyes of the two of them swirled in the air.

The fourth grandmother bowed slightly to Eleven Niang, and whispered to Mrs. Jiang: "Listen to the meaning of the eldest aunt and grandmother, does Grandpa Guo want to pass a son over from the side branch?" ”
