Chapter 217: Women Are Just Vines
At that time, looking at the back of tomorrow's departure, He Angelica's heart was full of apprehension and panic, and tomorrow's words were poured down like a basin of cold water in the moon. What does that mean? There is no man in this world who does not lie to women, not one? Rajah...... Fooled her? What did he lie to her?
At that time, He Angelica comforted herself, she was just a weak woman with no family background, even if she had a little ability, good medical skills, and fast learning, but compared to the prince, her idea ability was not enough. Such a she, if she is not favored by the prince, she is as ordinary as a grain of sand on the beach, what value can the prince deceive and use? Princess Xie, Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wan, each of their mothers can give the prince a great help, but he has never favored any of them, it can be seen that the prince is a frank man, and he is unwilling and disdainful to achieve great things through women.
He Angelica breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly laughed that he must have not slept for a few days, and his brain was so sleepy that he was so sleepy that he suspected the prince. Her husband is the most perfect man in the world, she knows that he loves her and he will not lie to her. Tomorrow that fellow must have been unable to sleep for days and nights because he had sent him a drudgery, and he was resentful for a while, so he would say those words to scare her, how could she not believe her husband, her pillow person, but believe the words of someone else?
After comforting and hypnotizing herself in this way, she turned around and went back to Luodong Mansion.
Because she had a high status in the palace at this time, she became a high-ranking guest in the eyes of everyone when she arrived in Luofu, and she was treated with considerable courtesy, almost a triple welcome in the middle and three outside. Although she was so sleepy that she was about to fall to the ground at any time, she felt that all the "family affection" she didn't feel when she was a child came back to her, and she was so excited that she drove away all the sleepy insects that had accumulated for a few days. She often envies that the other concubines in the palace have the protection of their mothers, in fact, although Luofu is inferior to those official eunuchs, it is also her mother's family in the end. The so-called mother family is a safe haven. It is a place where she can let down her guard and sleep in peace, and it is her solid backing forever.
The celebration ceremony lasted for a long time, not only the cousin of the Luoxi Mansion came over, but even the ladies of the Sun family, the Guan family, and the Wu family also came more or less, she bracked up her body for a while, and the old lady finally saw the haggard look under her makeup, quietly shook her hand and said, you go to sleep, I will help you greet the guests. In fact, her tiredness can be seen by anyone with long eyes, the dark circles under her eyes and the bloodshot eyes that can't even be covered by fat powder, the pale and dry lips and the tips of her fingers that tremble unconsciously, can be seen by anyone with long eyes.
However, everyone came to see her on purpose, so how could they let go of this opportunity to feast their eyes. Some people want her to help her with the favorite concubine of King Ning, and want her to help with something, but some people simply come to "visit" her.
Those people came to visit her with their unmarried daughter, and told them inspirational stories: Look, girl, the woman in the red satin skirt is He Angelica, she is an abandoned daughter who was kicked out of her father's house, and she was thrown to the countryside to raise her since she was a child, and she is illiterate in her teens, but she has a beautiful face. Back then, Mrs. Luo wanted to tell her to be your brother as a concubine, I thought her family education was not good, her mother Derong was not good at speaking, and her daughter was naturally not much better, so she rejected Mrs. Luo. I didn't expect this woman to be promising, it was amazing enough to marry Ning Wangfu, and she came back like a human being, and it was really a golden phoenix that flew out of the grass.
He Angelica took these words into her ears, but her face was silent, and she was already numb to the accusations made by others against her mother behind her back. She has also changed from complaining about her mother at the beginning, to now feeling sorry for her mother, she really wants to make her mother's face show a real smile, but the "white-eyed wolf" He Fu in the mouth of the public, He Fu of the prodigal son, can he really make his mother smile like that?
Tomorrow is right, the man is the towering tree, the woman is the vine that surrounds the tree, and the vine can only climb as high as the tree is, and once the vine is removed from the tree, the vine is not far from withering. Although my mother has not had a bad time in Luo Mansion over the years, in essence, she is still a withered vine. Originally, He Angelica didn't notice this, she thought that her mother had been a "aunt wife" in Luofu all her life, and spending those thirty taels every month was the best destination for her mother.
However, just after seeing his mother's beautiful face that suddenly became young, and seeing his mother's bright eyes, He Angelica suddenly realized that He Fu was his mother's tree! Even if He Fu is not sincere to his mother, even if he is only willing to share a cup of leftovers from his bowl of soup to his mother, it is more nourishing than the full pot of broth that her daughter is holding. Can't a woman live alone without a man, a woman is just a vine?
Although He Angelica was not convinced, she couldn't say anything to refute herself, just because she knew deeply that she herself was the same as her mother, and she lived by that man all her life. In that splendid pile covered with Jinghua, as long as that man looked at her more, her heart was sweet. At that time, she didn't know that the sweet honey was poisonous.
With these chaotic thoughts, He Angelica slipped into a quiet and gorgeous bedroom under the arrangement of the old lady, slept beautifully, her heart was full of her honey, and slept from dawn to dark and then to dawn, and after waking up, the maids rushed in, trained to groom and dress her, and put on a comfortable home-style skirt, so that she was very moved, this is the feeling of home.
After breakfast, the old lady came over, first talked to her for a while, asked her about her life in the palace, asked her about her physical condition, and then aimed at her lower abdomen, and asked her if there was any news. She shook her head in disbelief and replied that she had injured herself in Shuishangguan in the past, and the doctors said that she had a cold constitution and should not be pregnant. The old lady shook her head and sighed, and was silent for a while, knowing that this granddaughter was a good person, and the family treated her differently.
He Angelica remembered his mother's affairs, and asked the old lady what the housekeepers from Qingzhou said - that rich man He had abandoned his mother for six or seven years, why did he suddenly change his mind, is there any trickery in this? A person as dull and soft as his mother, going to Qingzhou, where he is not familiar with his life, alone, will he be bullied by others? In the years when He Fuman didn't want his mother, he must have accepted a lot of concubines, his mother has no experience in impeaching concubines, and he has not seen He Fuman for a long time, so he must have accumulated a lot of misunderstandings between each other.
He Angelica poured this brain problem to the old lady, and the kind old lady patted her hand and comforted, Sister Yi, you can rest assured, the old body has inquired with a few people who went to sea with He Fu, then He Fu did make a lot of money by running a boat, and he is currently worth more than 10,000 yuan, and he settled in Qingzhou because when his family fell in his early years, there was a little aunt who was sold to Qingzhou to be a concubine. Now his aunt is angry, squeezed out the main room, and was supported as the prefect's wife, and He Fu settled down in Qingzhou, also with the idea of enjoying the shade under the big tree.
He Angelica frowned, still worried about her mother's situation, she always felt that He Fushi had never loved his mother. In the past, he was to take advantage of his mother, and maybe he coveted her beauty, but since he heard that she couldn't have children, He Fu immediately looked down on her. He Angelica's bystanders are clear, and they can see clearly, He Fu and his family, the eyes that look at their mother are all cold and disdainful, although He Fu's old mother and sister often smile at their mother, praising their mother for being a virtuous person, but as soon as they turn around, the curvature of the corners of their lips turns into a distorted sneer. It's just that she was nine years old at the time, and she was soft-spoken, and she and her mother were also "strange biological mothers and daughters" who had not been together for a long time, and that kind of relationship was sensitive and fragile, so many words could not be said in her tongue.
He Angelica is most worried that his mother provided food, clothing and entertainment for the He family, and those people still looked down on his mother like that, after many years, his mother's beauty faded, and even her little belly was plump, which could not be compared with He Fu's young and beautiful concubines, it can be said that no one in the entire He family likes her mother. Even if the mother lives in the He family with the halo of a Luofu concubine, and even takes charge of the feed, how long can such a beautiful appearance be maintained. The mother's squeamish temperament does not share her husband's experience with other women, and seeing that day after day, her husband gets into the teenage concubine's beautiful maid's room, how long can the mother's heartfelt smile last? That He Fu, is he really his mother's beloved?
After all, the old lady is not Luo Chuanxiong's mother-in-law, although she watched Chuanxiong grow up and get married, and she also sympathized with her experience, but in the end there was no kind of heart-to-heart connection between biological mother and daughter. The old lady just sympathized with her, not put herself in her shoes, so the old lady didn't even think about these problems that He Angelica was worried about, but just repeatedly praised He Fu for having the ability and conscience, and the He family came to work, and sighed that Chuanxiong had finally come out. But I never thought that a woman who was no longer young and had no fertility could be successfully transplanted from the south where the seasons are like spring to the cold north, whether she could smoothly take root in the soil, give birth to new sprouts and new leaves from the withered old vines, and climb the fickle tree of He Fu.
Just when He Angelica wanted to further discuss his mother's problem with the old lady and ask the old lady to think about countermeasures together, the old lady suddenly changed her head, and said that the eldest Chuanbai was waiting for a treasurer in Jinan, and there was no news after waiting for half a year, and the second Chuangu was in Huai'an...... Lao Sanchuan Park is in Fengyang...... The former brother is in the capital...... The marriage of the former brother's daughter Yan Sister...... Sister Joan's husband...... Sister Shao'er's fiancé......
He Angelica's ears were buzzing, listening to the old lady's initial stumbling tone, gradually talking more and more, and mentioning more and more justifiably, He Angelica suddenly thought that the reason why her mother was able to receive a "treasure box worth two thousand taels" from the old lady was not because the old lady wanted to compensate her mother for the silver that was deceived by the second uncle, but the silver that the old lady paid for paving the way for the family and building a good relationship with her own capable granddaughter. Her mother had gone all the way to find her husband with her golden treasure box, so she had to pay for her mother's treasure box here—and a long list of bills ten times more than the value of the treasure box.
She is her mother's daughter, and it is a matter of course to pay the bills for her mother, so she is neither complaining nor annoyed, but her whole heart flew to Qingzhou with her mother's carriage, and she can't think about anything more. Who can tell her that her mother, who is not very bright, has arrived in Qingzhou safely? Will there be a dutiful escort tomorrow? When my mother arrives at that strange new home, does she see her handsome husband who died in name only many years ago?
Dizzy with the heavy bill, she rushed back to Daning non-stop, and after the holiday with the prince, she went into her room, worrying about the bill, while anxiously waiting for the news from tomorrow, time was as slow as a snail crawling on a chessboard, grid after grid.
After she lined up the bills according to the degree of difficulty, he finally came back from Qingzhou tomorrow, and he told her that her mother had been divorced by the He family, and he had escorted her mother back to the Luo family.
