Chapter 8: Smelling the Fragrance and Seeing Through (1)
Mrs. Huang's courtyard is the fourth courtyard, at the fork in the road, Mrs. Huang said: "I should have invited Su Su to sit in my yard, but I drink medicine all year round, and the house smells bad, so I will go back and clean up, and I will invite you to come over another day." ”
Su Su hurriedly said: "Aunt is too polite, Yang Liu and I grew up together since childhood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are sisters, you must not see me." If it were someone else, Su Su would not be so close, but she also saw Yang Liu's action of touching her stomach just now, but she didn't expect Mrs. Huang to speak out immediately.
What does this mean? It shows that she has been paying attention to Yang Liu, and seeing that she is a little uncomfortable, she hurriedly gave Mrs. Huang a step down, which also made Yang Liu a lot easier. This kind of performance is only for the child with Yangliu's belly, Su Su is also very grateful to her, and when she sees Mrs. Huang, she is not the kind of person who doesn't care about her daughter-in-law's life or death, just for Yangliu, Su Su is also willing to get close to her.
And this kind of closeness, Mrs. Huang also felt it, smiled, and said: "You little sisters go back to the courtyard and talk about your heart, if there is anything, just look for Han." ”
Hearing this, Han took a step forward, "Grandma and Miss Su are used to seeing good things, and the slave and maid don't dare to get an axe, but if there is anything you want to eat and want to play, just tell the slave and maid." ”
Before, at the door, there were many people, but they were curious, and Su Su didn't care too much. Now, when the person arrived, Su Su smelled a shallow aroma, this fragrance was too light, if it weren't for Su Su's sense of smell that opened his golden finger and was comparable to a dog's nose, he would think it was an illusion. Su Su felt that this fragrance was very familiar.
But when she thought about it, she had never concocted this kind of incense, Su Su's memory had always been very good, and this fragrance was not only good but also very special, and she couldn't forget it. But the body is very familiar with it, Su Su thought of a possibility, that is, there is this incense in the memory of the original owner, although it is hidden in the depths of her mind, waiting for her to dig it, but the instinct of this body sends a signal, this situation Su Su has encountered, that is when he treated Ruan Liulang.
As mentioned earlier, Su Su did not have the memory of the original owner when he first crossed over, it was all triggered memories, and only when he saw Ruan Liulang, his body had an instinct and called "Sixth Brother", and then he had a memory of Ruan Liulang.
If she didn't have this instinct, she would have a memory, and she wanted to call a "primary school student" who was only twelve years old at the time her brother without any trouble, Su Su thought that she shouldn't be too natural, after all, her biological age was more than the two twelve years combined.
Later, there were several times when the body had an instinctive reaction, and Su Su summed it up, all of which were things that the original owner thought were very important and engraved in his bones, so even if he did not recover his memory, his body did not forget it.
Su Su thought about it for a long time, but there was still no memory flashing, frowning, Su Su really couldn't remember, so he just let it go first.
At this time, Yang Liu had already taken Su Su to her yard. Su Su saw that the bright smile on Yang Liu's face just now faded in a blink of an eye, and a tired look appeared on his face. "How far away? Why don't I call you a soft sedan chair? ”
Yang Liu waved his hand, "This is here, but a few steps away, I'm not so squeamish." Su Su glanced at her: "You better pay attention." Seeing that although Yang Liu's face was tired, his spirit was fine, Su Su asked, "Are you really good?" This is your home, so you don't have to be too polite. ”
When Yang Liu heard this, he shook his head helplessly, glanced around, and saw that there was no one else except the two little maids beside Su Su and his own henchmen, so he sighed and said: "I also thought before, there are so many masters and subordinates in the Bofu, and I also keep the dripping water of Sui'an Tang Dali and manage the little Huang family is not easy to capture." Now I know that ambition is not old, and the house fight is not small at home! ”
Su Su asked the maids around him to take a few steps back, followed behind the two of them, and said in a low voice, "What's the situation?" You're pregnant, I told you a long time ago, don't worry about the mess. ”
"You and I are in a panic, but I can't help myself." After Yang Liu finished speaking, he complained to Su Su.
Master Huang will go back to the main room every day, and outsiders only treat them as husband and wife, but the whole Huang family knows that Master Huang has not entered Mrs. Huang's room for ten years, and only rests at Aunt Han across the hospital.
I heard that after Aunt Han was "drunk" and used by Master Huang, she wanted to exploit the loopholes left by her ancestors, so she wanted to give Aunt Han an identity as a flat wife, but she was only hammered by Old Lady Huang, and then let alone a flat wife, that is, now Aunt Han is even a slave by Old Lady Huang and is not allowed to leave the country.
But what if it is a room that cannot be put on the table, what about being an unknown "aunt", people have the favor of Master Huang, and Mrs. Huang is in charge of the house on the surface, but in fact it is Aunt Han who takes care of it, and the people call it "Second Wife" in private.
If it weren't for Mrs. Huang giving birth to the only heir of the Huang family, I don't know what kind of situation I would have fallen into. is because he has a good son, Master Huang no longer likes his original wife, and no one dares to snub her, Aunt Han still has to be a slave in front of her.
Such a shameful thing, the Huang family will not spread it, Grandpa Qiao inquired and inquired, and trusted that the Huang family would not treat his granddaughter badly, and the uncle was also a good one, and there were thirty childless ancestors who could take concubines, some small details were ignored in the past, and it was a little embarrassing for Yang Liu to marry in.
The Huang family has been passed down for several generations, and her main task is to be the next generation of successors of her husband, since no one has mentioned calling her a housekeeper, a grandmother is begging for a life in the hands of a general room who is not an aunt, how can it not be aggrieved. Fortunately, the brother-in-law of the Huang family is also tough, and with the support of Mrs. Huang, a small kitchen was built in Yangzhitang, and everything went to the private accounts of the brother-in-law of the Huang family, or Yang Liu didn't know if he could bear it.
Su Su didn't expect that there would be such a god in it, and he frowned and thought about it, "Your father-in-law is not an official, otherwise a favorite concubine and killing his wife will be enough for him to eat a pot." However, your brother-in-law is the only heir in the family, and you are pregnant with an heir, but you have to open a small kitchen, and you have to smuggle accounts? That's a bit wrong! ”
Yang Liu shook his handkerchief, "Your brother-in-law didn't tell me to take care of it, but only told me to take care of the fetus, it's really annoying!" Yang Liu has been with Su Su for seven or eight years, and he has also learned a few fashionable words, which feels too apt to say.
"Aunt is willing to be pressed by a dowry maid?" Su Su became more and more puzzled, that Mrs. Huang looked very sensible, how could she be willing to call a housekeeper.
Yang Liu's expression was uncertain, he looked around, and whispered: "I heard that Aunt Han was pregnant before, and she hid it, and it took almost five months for someone to find out." The Huang family has been passed down for several generations, and her belly is so big, even the grandfather of the Huang family is afraid that he is the heir of the Huang family, so he simply turns a blind eye and only waits for birth to be recorded in the name of my mother-in-law as a concubine. ”
Yang Liu paused when she said this, feeling that it was a little bad to gossip about the elders, but in the end she was closer to Su Su, and there were some things that she had held in her heart for a long time, so she continued: "When Aunt Han was eight months pregnant, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, my father-in-law actually wanted to ask her to attend, but my mother-in-law was unwilling, and when the two argued, somehow, my mother-in-law wrestled with Aunt Han who persuaded her next to her. It's a boy. ”
After that, Yang Liu didn't need to say it, Su Su guessed that it must be Aunt Han who was injured and couldn't get pregnant anymore, the wife of the Huang family lived in a simple place, Aunt Han got the right to steward the inner courtyard, and several elders of the Huang family felt indebted to her, although they couldn't give her the title due to the rules of the ancestors, they acquiesced to her identity as the "second wife".
Sure enough, what Yang Liu said was the same as what Su Su guessed, it was all a routine.
"It's just that I'm very puzzled, although Aunt Han is still her mother-in-law's dowry maid in name, but in private no one knows that she is a nameless but real second wife, why does she still have to live in the same yard with my mother-in-law, and insist on serving my mother-in-law every day to get up and freshen up, and she comes first in everything. Even if she doesn't have the heart to compete for favor in her heart, is there no pain of losing a child? ”
This is what Yang Liu is most puzzled about, and Su Su shuddered for no reason when he heard this, and he shivered for no reason, as if he was answering Yang Liu's question, as if he was muttering to himself: "Perhaps, this is her revenge." ”
After Su Su finished speaking, he and Yang Liu looked at each other, and both of them felt a chill, and they were extremely frightened when they thought about it!
While speaking, he had already arrived at Yangzhitang. When I entered the yard, the maid and the maid came up, "Grandma is back!" "Miss Susu is here!" Su Su saw that they were all Yang Liu's companions, and they were a few people they didn't know, and they were young.
Everyone surrounded Yang Liu and Su Su into the house, Yang Liu didn't have to be polite to Su Su, sat straight on the chair, and said: "You also sit down, this time the body is a little weak, I think at the beginning, it was to stand for a day, it was also lively, and now it's only been a while, it's a little unbearable." Then he instructed the maid and the maid-in-law: "On a hot day, there is no need for tea, bring a pot of sour plum juice, a pot of watermelon juice, and a dim sum before I leave, and I ordered the kitchen to make it, and bring it up." There is also the Dutch water that the uncle brought back yesterday. ”
The maids soon brought up a large food box, which contained a box containing twelve kinds of candy and fruits.
The same is white sugar and fragrant osmanthus cake, the same is bird's nest ginseng powder eight-treasure Western cheese cake, the same is almond bean flour tangram cake, the same is pigeon egg rock sugar small thin roll, the same is pigeon powder chicken fat fragrant leg fried bun roll, the same is frozen taro and lotus root crystal cake, these are six kinds of tea food.
The sugar is the same as Guangdong mint powder lotus seed candy, the same is lemon sour fried banana candy, and the same is bergamot slices. The fruit is the same as fresh snow lotus, the same apple and pine, and the same milk crystal grape.
There are also several bottles of Dutch water under the food box, including ginger ale, lemon water, mint, and salt water. The so-called Dutch water is the earliest soda, and it is also the product of the prosperity of the maritime trade of Dachu, only this one has only recently been introduced.
How to say it, it can only be said that the founding emperor of Dachu still gave some inventions some ways to live, at least he did not invent soda, so Dutch water is still a rare thing in Dachu now.
Su Su is really hot, and he is not polite to Yang Liu, he drank a glass of watermelon juice first, and was about to pour a cup, so he withdrew his hand in Yang Liu's glaring eyes, "I see that you are healed and forget the pain, and it will be your little day in a few days, why don't you still know the taboo!" ”
Su Su was both helpless and moved, and raised his hand to make a surrender form, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I will not do it again in the future." Yang Liu looked at her scoundrel, funny and angry, and said: "I really should let people see what the fairy-like girl Susu looks like in private." ”
Su Su couldn't help but roll her eyes, "It would be nice if it was a fairy, no need to eat or drink water, I still came here to listen to your teaching, I would have been 'flying in the sky' a long time ago." "The few maids and daughters-in-law here know that Miss Susu is really not immortal at all in private, but people are good-looking, even if they roll their eyes, they look better than others, and they are desperate for this world of faces.
Su Su had a lot of whispers to say to Yang Liu, Yang Liu also had a stomach to tell Su Su about and ate something, mainly Su Su forced Yang Liu to eat some fruit, seeing that she didn't vomit, she was more and more sure that she was a mental problem, so she ordered a few dishes that she and Yang Liu both love to eat, and pregnant women can also eat, and ask the small kitchen to make it, and it will be time for lunch in a while.
Then the two entered the Dongnuan Pavilion hand in hand, ready to hold a meeting.
The main house of Yangzhitang is three rooms, one bright and two dark, the middle is the living room, the west is the bedroom, and the east is the place where the willow spends time during the day on weekdays, which is equivalent to the warm pavilion. If it was before, the bedroom was the most suitable, but Yang Liu has now become a pro, the bedroom is the most private space for the two of them, Su Su is a particular one, of course he will not go in, so the East Warm Pavilion has become the first choice.
The East Warm Pavilion is divided into two parts by a blue gauze cupboard, and there is a fire kang under the window in the outer room, a mahogany round table in the middle of the ground, and four mahogany carved stools, which are here for dinner on weekdays.
Although the weather is hot, there is a thick bearskin carpet on the ground, and you can't see the instep when you step on it, you should be afraid that the willow will fall when you get up, and you can see the intentions of the brother-in-law of the Huang family from this small detail.
After entering the blue yarn cupboard, Su Su and Yang Liu took off their shoes under the service of the maids, and asked the maids and women to only listen to errands in the outer living room.
Su Su and Yang Liu were half-leaning on the edge of the couch, and Yang Liu was just about to say something, when he saw Su Su's expression became a little solemn for a moment, "What's wrong?" Yang Liu was taken aback, and didn't know why Su Su showed this expression, this was not the rhythm of a sleeping meeting.
And Su Su actually smelled a fragrance from the moment she entered the door, but if there was nothing, when she entered the blue yarn cupboard, the fragrance became clear, and this fragrance was exactly the same as what she smelled on the "Aunt Han".
Su Su asked suspiciously, "Are you pregnant, and you still smoke incense?" "Willow is the most beautiful of the four of them. Yang Liu hurriedly shook his head, "I know that I am pregnant, not to mention incense, even rouge gouache, I don't use much, my complexion is really bad, and I only use a little bit of the plant makeup you made yourself." ”
"Don't you smell a scent? Faint, very smelly! Yang Liu sniffed vigorously, "I didn't smell it, you used perfume?" Su Su couldn't help but glance at her, "I don't use those things on weekdays, since I know that you are pregnant, how can I use them!" ”
Su Su couldn't help but stand up and sniff the source of the fragrance carefully......
