Chapter 33: The Guest (II)

Back to the bowstring alley of Baodafang, it is already the beginning of the lanterns.

The eldest grandmother Gu helped the eldest lady get out of the carriage and said in a low voice: "Mother, the second master and the second wife are here!" ”

The eldest lady was slightly stunned: "Haven't you left yet?" ”

"Nope!" The eldest grandmother said in a low voice, "The fourth aunt and grandmother are also here......

The eldest lady raised the corners of her eyebrows: "What is she doing here?" ”

There was already hearty laughter in the main room.

Shi Niang was stepping on the footstool to get out of the car, and when she heard the laughter, she paused.

It was the laughter of the second master......

Yanjing had a curfew at the beginning, and now it is Youzheng. I don't know how far Huanghuafang is from here, and I can't rush back in half an hour......

She thought, the laughter was getting closer and closer, and the second master's voice was clearly audible: "...... Big brother, I'm here to invite you tomorrow. ”

The eldest master's voice was gentle: "Then I'll wait for you, and we'll go after breakfast together." ”

As soon as the words fell, the figures of the eldest master and the second master appeared in front of the hanging flower door, one inside and one outside, and everyone touched each other.

"It's back!" The eldest lord greeted the eldest lady with a smile, and the second master shouted "sister-in-law".

The eldest lady bowed to the two of them, respectfully shouted "master", and shouted "second uncle" to the second master.

Behind them came a woman in her forties. White skin, long face, wearing a fragrant butterfly flower pattern makeup satin gown, inlaid with jade red gold Guanyin distracted, the bowl mouth of the big Western pearl and emerald flowers, and surrounded by a circle of emerald plum blossoms, was hung on the door of the red lantern illuminated, jewelry, very dazzling.

"Sister-in-law." She smiled at the eldest lady, "Knowing that you are here, I specially brought a few children over to greet you." Who knew that you went to the Yongping Marquis Mansion...... Wait until now. I'm sorry I got you there. ”

She is the second wife, Yu.

"You've been waiting for a long time." The eldest lady blessed the second wife, and a young woman flashed out from behind the second lady and shouted "Auntie".

The woman looked like she was in her early twenties, tall, fair-skinned, with supple eyebrows and eyes, and she looked very comfortable.

"Siniang!" The eldest lady greeted the woman with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come too!" ”

"I went back to see my mother, and then I knew that you came to Yanjing. I'll come with it to say hello to you. Siniang smiled like a spring breeze, "I heard that you went to the Yongping Marquis Mansion." Is the eldest sister okay? ”

The eldest lady smiled and nodded: "It's okay!" I'll take care of you. ”

"That's good." Siniang breathed a sigh of relief when she listened, "I heard that she is not lightly ill, and I am sitting in confinement, so it is inconvenient to go." I've been worried! ”

Seven years ago, the third wife was Baoshan and told Siniang to Yu Yiqing, the eldest son of Yu Naisi of Dali Temple. Who knows, within two years of her marriage, Yu Naisi died of illness, and she returned to her hometown in Fuyang with her mother-in-law. The Yu family was originally a destitute family, and Yu Naisi slowly bought some family property after winning the Jinshi, with a total of only four or five hundred acres of aquatic products, and a house in and out of the city, plus Yu Yiqing has many brothers and sisters, and life is a little tight. The second wife felt sorry for her daughter, and every year she had to give five hundred taels of silver from her public office and send it to Fuyang.

That Yu Yiqing has a good education, and he has been promoted in the fifty-ninth year of Jianwu. The next year, when the new emperor ascended the throne of Kaienko, he hurriedly took the exam and failed. The second wife took her daughter and son-in-law to Yanjing on the grounds that "there is no good gentleman in Fuyang", and then took the relationship between the second master and entered the Guozijian to study, and helped rent a house near Laojuntang Hutong.

Or with the care of her mother, Siniang, who has not moved, gave birth to two sons in a row - the youngest son was born last month.

"Is the child good-looking?" The eldest lady smiled and greeted her, "I asked someone to send you some Shandong Ejiao a few days ago, have you received it?" Are you used to eating? That thing is the most blood-replenishing thing. ”

"Roger!" Siniang hurriedly thanked the eldest lady, "Thank you aunt for your concern." ”

Wu Niang and Eleven Niang took this opportunity to come forward to salute the second wife and the fourth mother.

Siniang returned the salute, and the third grandmother Ding led Qiniang out to salute with the eldest wife, Wuniang, and eleventh Niang.

The eldest man smiled and said, "Standing here is not the same." Why don't you go back to the house for a cup of tea? ”

The second wife had a few intentions, but the second master said: "It's not early, you and I have to go to Liu's house tomorrow." It's a long time coming. ”

The eldest lord did not leave any guests, but only ordered: "Be careful on the road." He called Luo Zhenxing, who had been standing with his hands down, to help send off the guests, and he and his wife stood at the weeping flower gate and waited for the carriage of the second room to gallop out before returning to the main house.

The eldest lady asked, "Are you going to Liuge's hometown tomorrow?" Don't tell me, I'm prepared. What are you doing at Liu's house? ”

The third master of the Luo family married the young daughter of the old man of Liu Ge, and after the old lady of the Luo family gave his respect, the old man of Liu Ge took care of the three brothers of the Luo family. In addition to the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival, from the birthday of the old Liuge family, to the young master of the Liu family accepting a concubine, the Luo family will send a steward to congratulate him.

"Ad-hoc decision." The eldest lord frowned slightly, and looked a little annoyed, "Elder Liu Ge had a dispute with Elder Chen Ge over the matter of tea tax, and he proposed to Zhishi in a fit of anger. Who knows, the emperor actually approved it......"

"What?" The eldest lady was shocked, "How can this be?" ”

"I will leave Beijing the day after tomorrow." The eldest man's expression darkened, "We still heard what the third brother said - the second child heard that you were here and was going to invite the third child to come to the house for a gathering, but who knows, but something like this happened." The three of them rushed to Liu's house! ”

The eldest lady waved her hand to Wu Niang and Shi Niang irritably: "You are tired for a day today, go down and rest!" ”

Wu Niang and Eleven Niang skillfully bent their knees in response to "yes", and when they got up, the eldest lord and eldest lady had already entered the main house, but the sound of speaking was faintly audible.

"What's wrong with Yuan Niang?"

"It's fine." The eldest lady's voice was tense, "It's just right, I have something to tell you......"

The sound faded and the courtyard became quiet.

Wu Niang and Eleven Niang returned to the back cover room one after another.

******

Early the next morning, the eldest lord left the second master to have breakfast, and then the two went to Liu's house together.

When Wu Niang and Eleven Niang went to greet the eldest lady, the eldest lady was a little absent-minded, and even the arrival of Brother Wu failed to make her really happy, but let the nurse carry him down, leaving the eldest grandmother to speak alone.

The two went out, and Wu Niang looked at Eleven Niang with a smile: "Speaking of which, we sisters haven't sat together for a long time. Take advantage of today's free time, my sister will come to my house for tea! "Change the cold disdain of the past.

Eleven Niang was slightly surprised.

As long as Wu Niang does not achieve her goal for a day, it will be impossible for her to reconcile with herself for a day.

Such gentleness and kindness, I'm afraid there is a purpose!

But no matter what her purpose is, if she ignores it, Wu Niang may still think that she wants to declare war with her?

Eleven Niang thought about it, and smiled lightly: "Okay! It's been a long time since we've sat down and had tea! ”

Wu Niang chucked slightly, looking very satisfied with Eleven Niang, and then took her to her residence.

It can be seen that the grandmother has put a lot of thought into accommodating them. The east and west wings are not only furnished, but also small things such as tea cups and chair cushions are exactly the same, regardless of each other.

The two sat down on the big kang near the window, Ziwei served tea, and Wu Niang smiled and said to Eleven Niang: "I want to talk to you about myself." With that, he sent Ziwei a few people to retreat.

Eleven Niang also smiled and sent Amber a few to retreat.

There were only the two of them in the house, and Wu Niang sighed and looked at Shi Niang with an apologetic face: "Good sister, I misunderstood you, that's why I look at you everywhere unpleasantly...... Don't be annoyed with me. ”

Eleven Niang was very surprised.

With such a low voice, it seems that Wu Niang is determined to get it?

She looked uneasy: "Sister, don't say that. It must have been me who did something wrong, so I misunderstood my sister. As he spoke, he looked at Wu Niang with wide eyes, "Sister, what the hell am I ......?"

"It's all my fault." Wu Niang looked very guilty, "You don't know, my mother chose you and me to come to Yanjing to visit the eldest sister, but because the eldest sister is married, and the eldest brother is far away in Yanjing, and her knees are empty, so she wants to find two daughters who meet her heart to accompany her all the way, and talk and laugh to relieve boredom." Her face showed anger, "Who knows, this matter falls in the eyes of people with hearts, it becomes that Brother Zhen is not in good health, and my sister wants to choose one of the concubines to be a concubine......"

Eleven Niang cooperated with her to show a shocked expression: "There is still this matter? How come I've never heard of it? ”

"Those people bully my sister for her young age and don't bother to say it in front of my sister." Wu Niang rolled her eyes, "But she chewed the root of her ears and came to my house." As he spoke, his tone paused, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, the people who said this are the eldest aunt and the second aunt." ”

Eleven Niang looked at Wu Niang in surprise.

She can really break it!

However, the eldest aunt and the second aunt are pouting everywhere, maybe, and it is not necessary to have really said this.

Wu Niang saw Eleven Niang's expression and was very satisfied. Laughing: "That's not all. He also said that my mother took the two of us there so that the eldest sister could choose one of them. So, when you were sick that day, you came to my house to ask about my eldest sister, and I was very angry! ”

"Sister!" Eleven Niang looked at Wu Niang with some trepidation, "Sister, don't you think I'm trying to ...... I really didn't know anything like this...... It's just that the boat is boring, so I'm just gossiping with my sister. As he spoke, he showed a self-reproachful expression, "If I knew this, I should have made it clear to my sister." Lest my sister misunderstand me! ”

"No, no, no." Wu Niang hurriedly said, "Speaking of which, it's all my fault for this matter." It's because I didn't explain it to my sister, that's why I ......" she lowered her head, her face crimson and a shy look, "Mother once told me about it...... said that her sister was not in good health, and she was worried that she would have no one to take care of Brother Chen, so she wanted to find someone in her sister to help take care of Brother Chen. said, the only people in the family are me and Shi Niang...... You also know that Shi Niang doesn't like her mother. And asked me, asked if I would like to...... I'm a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, how can I answer...... Therefore, when my mother asked me to go to Yanjing, I refused to go...... My mother persuaded me, and I said, "If I go alone, won't everyone know...... Mother asked me to come to Yanjing with you......"

Eleven Niang was stunned.

Wu Niang has done whatever it takes for Yuan Niang's position......

With the character of the eldest wife, even if there is such a thing, it is impossible to say it. What's more, Yuan Niang is not dead yet!

No matter how rational she is to the person she loves the most, she will have a trace of luck, thinking that she will definitely recover, and those tricks just in case will never be used......
