Chapter 587: Fate (II)

Seeing Mrs. Gao away, the second lady lay on the drunken chair in the study with her eyes closed, holding a white jade arm ring in her hand and grinding it carefully, as if all her thoughts were placed on the uneven moire on her fingertips.

Yuxiang used a red lacquered begonia flower tray to hold up the autumn pear paste filled with white sweet porcelain, and when she saw the appearance of the second lady, her expression showed a little hesitation.

When the second lady encounters something difficult to decide, she will lie on the drunkard's chair and rub the white jade armband left by the second master and used as a paperweight.

Speaking of which, she hadn't seen the second lady like this for some years!

Yuuka hesitated whether to disturb the second lady, and the second lady had already opened her eyes: "It's Yuuka!" ”

Now that the second lady has noticed that she is coming in, it is superfluous to withdraw again.

Yuuka smiled and said "yes" and walked over with autumn pear paste.

The second lady put it down after eating a few bites, and laughed softly: "Today's taste is a little special!" It seems to have added hawthorn to it. ”

"You've eaten it!" Yuuka laughed, "I only put a little bit of it - this is what I learned from the fourth lady." The sixth young master doesn't eat well these days, so the fourth lady thought of this method. I was afraid of too much dry stomach, so I only put three hawthorns in each pear. I saw that you have a bad taste these days, so I did something like the fourth lady. ”

The second lady smiled and put the autumn pear paste that had only eaten a small half bowl in the tray.

"Doesn't it taste good?" Yuuka wondered if she should put rock candy like before.

"It's delicious!" The second lady smiled, "It's just that I don't want to eat it now." You can take it and eat it! ”

Yuuka replied and lowered her head to collect the bowl and spoon. Seeing that the second lady closed her eyes and lay in the drunken chair again, she thought about it and said, "Madam, is Mrs. Gao here and said something?" ”

The second lady opened her eyes and saw Yuuka's face full of worry, and her heart warmed.

She thought of Mrs. Gao's words before leaving.

"I also know that your sister-in-law broke the appointment and went too far. But now your sister-in-law also regrets it a little. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the liberty of coming to see you. Adults' business is adult's business, and it's not good if it affects children! It will be the Double Ninth Festival in two days, and your sister-in-law wants to set up a banquet at home to entertain Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Fourth, and take this opportunity to accompany Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Fourth. ”

Pointing to the small pestle next to him, he said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

Yuuka's heart hung in the air.

The second lady is not the kind of person who likes to talk to the people around her when she has nothing to do.

"Mrs. Gao is here to ask me to come forward to help highlight the marriage between Rou Ne and Brother Yu'er......" The second lady looked at the dust of the green and blue squares, and her expression looked a little stunned.

The events of that year are clear.

"Okay!" Hearing this, she couldn't help but be excited, the marriage between the eldest son of the Xiang family and the second lady gradually became a problem for the second lady, "In this way, you can also make up for your regrets back then!" She longed, "The second lady has a gentle temperament, and the needle girl is very popular, and she will definitely please her mother-in-law when she marries." ”

The second lady didn't make a sound, but her face showed a little bitterness.

Yuuka was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think seriously. After a while, he said thoughtfully: "Are you afraid that the fourth lady will not agree?" ”

The second lady shook her head lightly and sighed, "According to my original intention, I don't want to care about this matter anymore. But when I think of Roune, I feel a little uneasy in my heart. But back then, my sister-in-law broke her trust, how could I do this in front of the fourth lady again! ”

It means that I still want to mention it in front of the fourth lady!

Otherwise, how could you be so troubled by gains and losses, and it looks like it is difficult to decide?

Yuuka helped the second lady come up with an idea: "Why don't you talk to Mrs. Tai?" Didn't Mrs. Tai also want to form this family relationship in the first place? And Mrs. Tai ...... to you"

Before she finished speaking, she encountered the opposition of the second lady: "After all, Mrs. Tai is a grandmother, how can she pass the Hou Ye and the fourth lady to decide the marriage of her brother privately?" Even if the fourth lady responded to this family affair because of filial piety, it was not in line with the etiquette, which made Mrs. Tai embarrassed! What's more, since the fourth lady's health gradually improved, Mrs. Tai has never interfered in the affairs of the inner courtyard, first, the fourth lady has the ability to preside over the feed, and second, she also wants to make the family's affairs right. You know, we're all elders now. Fish begins to rot from the head. This must not be done! ”

Yuuka couldn't help but get anxious: "Then, the marriage of the second young lady is not settled like this?" "It's always a pity.

The second lady was silent for a long time.

"I'll think about it again......" The voice was a little helpless.

But on the way back from greeting Mrs. Tai the next day, she unconsciously walked to the gate of Eleven Niang's courtyard.

The little maid saw that she was busy communicating with her, and Eleven Niang also greeted her: "How can the second sister-in-law have time to come to me to sit!" Please come in! ”

The little brother followed behind his mother like a tail, poking his head out and looking at the second lady curiously.

The second lady couldn't help but smile, and her mood was much lighter.

She reached out to touch Brother Jin'er's head. Brother Jin flashed and hid behind his mother.

"Sit in the second sister-in-law's house!" Eleven Niang said apologetically, "He's a little naughty." ”

I don't know why, Brother Jin seems to be a little afraid of the second lady, and he is always a little restrained when he sees him.

"Children, it's all like this!" The second lady smiled faintly and entered the house with Eleven Niang.

The two of them drank tea, and the second lady sighed when she talked about Wang Jiubao's execution.

Zhu Xiang, who was serving on the side, looked a little weird.

Women's Taoist people, what is not good, to say these things?

Fortunately, Eleven Niang used to discuss national affairs with others, and she didn't feel unusual. I just secretly guessed the intention of the second lady in my heart. But until the second lady said goodbye, she couldn't hear it.

In the evening, he talked to Xu Lingyi: "You say, why did the second sister-in-law think of talking to me about this?" I look at the second sister-in-law, it doesn't look like I know about the child! As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi twisted her nose: "It's enough to have you follow *** heart, how could I pull my second sister-in-law into the water!" ”

"It turns out that I am the one who works hard, and the second sister-in-law is the rich man!" Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi teased.

"Who asked you to marry me!" Xu Lingyi smiled and hugged Eleven Niang in her arms, "Only work with me!" ”

Eleven Niang fell into his arms and smiled.

Xu Lingyi said: "The second sister-in-law has lofty ambitions, but unfortunately as a woman, the second brother passed away again, and it is inevitable that she will be a little lonely in a remote corner." If she talks to you, whether you like it or not, just listen. ”

"I know!" Eleven Niang nested in Xu Lingyi's arms, "I just think it's a little strange." ”

Xu Lingyi said of Xu Silai: "...... How can the county school compare to the academy. After sending a full moon gift to Sister Zhen'er, let Brother Yu'er go back to Le'an. Strive to participate in next year's township examination. You take advantage of these days to set his marriage. After becoming a family, he can study in peace, and we can also prepare for my brother's marriage wholeheartedly! ”

"There are a lot of people who say they are close, but it is a little difficult to choose a family that is satisfactory......" Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi whispered, putting aside the visit of the second lady for the time being.

* * * * * *

The second lady couldn't help but regret it when she returned to Shaohua Courtyard, and wanted to find a chance to go to Shi Niang again, who knew that Mrs. Xiang's invitation arrived first.

Mrs. Tai glanced at it and gave the invitation to Eleven Niang: "You can look at it!" I'm old, let me be lazy! Then he smiled and looked at Brother Jin'er, who was painting on the mirror-like green bricks in the inner room, and Brother Xu'er, who was clumsy and clumsy, and said, "I'm at home with these two baby bumps." You can also play with your hands and feet! ”

Eleven Niang originally thought that Mrs. Tai would treat the second lady differently than ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the Xiang family would treat her, and Mrs. Tai would probably go, so she brought the invitation over to Mrs. Tai to see. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said: "That day, the Hou Ye asked Dou Ge Lao, Liang Ge Lao, Wang Da and others to go to Xishan to climb the heights, and asked the concubine to help prepare food. Even if you are afraid, you will not be idle. Why don't you let the fifth brother and sister accompany the second sister-in-law? ”

Mrs. Tai nodded.

When the fifth lady came to greet her, she spoke.

The fifth lady had a sad face: "I promised my father to take the child back!" ”

Mrs. Tai is about the same age as Mrs. Sun, and she can understand that Mrs. Sun feels that her days are not numbered and she wants to see her daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter more in her lifetime, so she treats Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun very tolerant in this regard.

"Go, go!" Mrs. Tai said with a smile, "The Zhejiang commander is the old marquis's original entourage, and this time he must have sent fat crabs again." When you come back, remember to bring two baskets for us to try. ”

The fifth lady happily responded and asked Eleven Niang, "What does the fourth sister-in-law want?" My father also has a subordinate who serves as a general in Jinhua, and he sends good Jinhua wine every year. I'll also bring back a few jars for my fourth sister-in-law, right? Eat it yourself and give it away, it's all good! ”

"Then you're welcome!" Eleven Niang smiled, but she was worried in her heart, could she really let the second lady go to the banquet?

She had to instruct Zhu Xiang to prepare clothes, and on the day of Chongyang, she got up early to do Xu Lingyi's things, and then took Brother Jin to Taifuzi: "I'll come back after lunch!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Mrs. Tai smiled, "Do you have to go out, drink some wine, and enjoy chrysanthemums?" It doesn't matter if you come back from dinner. We're having a good time with our grandmother, isn't we, brother? ”

Brother Jin is obsessed with painting on the floor in Mrs. Tai's inner room these days, and Eleven Niang sometimes wants to say a few words to him, asking him to paint in his own room if he wants to paint. Mrs. Tai didn't think so, and sent a maid to take a handkerchief and wipe the painting powder on the side, so as to ensure that Brother Jin had a place to paint at any time. It was also discussed to replace the land holding the building with this kind of green brick, so that Brother Jin could paint. Brother Jin became more and more energetic, and when he heard his grandmother ask him, he immediately nodded: "I'll play with my grandmother!" "I wish Eleven Niang would leave quickly.

Eleven Niang couldn't cry or laugh, and went to Xiang's house with the second lady.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Gao standing in front of the door of the hanging flowers with smiles on their faces.

"I'm looking forward to you!" She enthusiastically stepped forward and took Eleven Niang's hand, and then stretched her neck to look behind her, "What about Mrs. Tai?" Seeing that there was only one carriage behind, the mother-in-law who was accompanying the car was helping the second lady get out of the car, she was slightly stunned, and said, "Why, didn't Mrs. Tai come with you?" ”

"My mother is old, and the weather is hot today." Eleven Niang smiled, "I was stopped at home by Master Hou." ”

"It's too hot today!" Mrs. Gao smiled and invited Eleven Niang and Second Lady into the house. The sister-in-law was not unhappy by Mrs. Tai's absence.

Eleven Niang was secretly strange.
