Chapter 131: Righteousness (1)
Xin Zixuan pushed open the window and let the sunlight into the house, and now that the sun is not shining, it is already so hot that people's eyes can't break open. When I was early in the morning, I still felt a little clear and cool, but when the sun went up, the light coolness was gone.
She walked out and accidentally bumped into the corner of the table, a tingling pain, and she clutched her stomach and frowned. Suddenly nervously took half a step back, poked her head out, there was only a little maid sweeping the floor in the yard, she breathed a sigh of relief, touched her belly, and raised a wry smile at the corner of her mouth. Then he walked out of the house slowly, and saw Hongling standing around the corner from a distance, chatting happily with someone. Suddenly, when he turned his head and saw Xin Zixuan standing at the door, he immediately quit the other party, hurriedly ran over, and saluted Xin Zixuan.
Xin Zixuan waved her hand and asked nonchalantly, "Who are you talking to and chatting so energetically?" ”
Hongling lowered her head and explained: "It's Biwuxuan's mother who guards the garden, she is Fang'er's mother, come over to send something to Fang'er, and chatted with me when we met." Hongling quietly looked at Xin Zixuan's face, and saw that she was not angry, so she continued: "I didn't talk about anything, I asked her why she was free to come, I heard that Bi Wuxuan was going to do a happy event recently, and the manpower should be very tight." ”
Hongling said, carefully helped Xin Zixuan to sit down at the table, and poured her another cup of tea. Xin Zixuan motioned for her to continue. "She said that Pu'an sent two housekeepers to her mother, and she happened to replace her at this time, so she took the time to come over."
"The Ling family really has a heart." Compared with the Liu family and the Pang family, the Ling family's maiden family is undoubtedly the most worry-free and considerate.
"Yes, I heard that I also sent two cars of congratulatory gifts to add makeup." When Hongling said it, her tone was full of envy, and she heard that every maid who married will have a big red envelope, which is the dignity of her mother's family. Xin Zixuan was also slightly surprised, she knew that this sister-in-law added makeup to her aunt, and it was not for nothing that her uncle added makeup to her niece, but this was extremely important etiquette. If it weren't for the old traditions of the ancestors, or for the illustrious big families, they would do this kind of thing. "By the way, I just said that the fifth lady has not been in good spirits recently."
Xin Zixuan originally wanted to stop Hongling's words, but when she heard Shaohua, she immediately became nervous: "Are you sick, have you invited a doctor?" ”
After all, she hadn't seen Shaohua for several days. Since Shaohua came out of the palace, she wanted to find a time to talk to her, but unfortunately Xiyuan had some housework disputes, so she didn't go over in order to avoid suspicion. Later, I was also in trouble, so I kept dragging it, but I didn't expect to suddenly hear that Shaohua was uncomfortable.
Hongling shook her head, suddenly smiled, and said eloquently: "It's not that I'm sick, I heard that she asked the second lady to make her a red dress, but the second lady refused." She asked people to go outside and tear the cloth, saying that she would make it herself, but she couldn't even embroider a handkerchief, so she didn't mention making clothes. As a result, the second lady found out and confiscated all the cloth, and she was angry. ”
Hongling's impression of Shaohua was familiar with the time he came back from the Three Kings' Mansion. Just because she is the best among all the ladies to her own young lady, Hongling also has a very good impression of her, and Shaohua speaks wittily and is not fierce or scolding her subordinates, which makes her very moved.
"It's so dignified, what kind of red cloth is pulled, and it's not like to make a wedding dress." Xin Zixuan put her nervous heart back into her stomach, frowned slightly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise when she thought of Shaohua's temperament.
Hongling also replied with a smile: "That's right, the second lady also said so, but the fifth lady somehow got too hard and had to make a skirt." ”
"Later, you go look in the storeroom, I remember I still have a few pieces of red cloth, if I find it, I'll send it to her." Xin Zixuan thought for a moment and commanded.
Hongling was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Young lady, the fifth lady doesn't know how to make clothes, what's the use of you sending it to her." She remembered that Shaohua once came to show off to her with her new purse, and she praised the two swimming fish for being very vivid, which made her chagrin for a long time. Later, she learned that in addition to the swimming fish, the others were Shaohua's masterpieces. After she found out, she hurriedly went to apologize to Shaohua, but she didn't think so, and told her not to worry.
"She won't, then the maids around her will always be." Xin Zixuan glanced at her.
Hongling was a little embarrassed, and said: "I heard that the skirt that the five ladies want to make doesn't even know what the maids are like, so the five ladies can only make it themselves." "If Shaohua's temperament is tough, ten cows won't be able to pull it back.
"Even the maids don't know?" Xin Zixuan was confused at this time, thought about it, and decided to visit Shaohua, "You accompany me to take a look, I want to see what she is doing." ”
Seeing Xin Zixuan stand up suddenly, Hongling nervously stretched out her hand to protect her, "Yes, young lady, but your body is ......" looked at her stomach, and quietly looked at Xin Zixuan's unsmiling face.
"Don't get in the way, let people look at Aunt Qing, don't let others approach." Xin Zixuan pursed her lips and asked Hongling to go down to find the red cloth.
"Yes." Hongling didn't dare to say much, and immediately took the order and left.
After she left, Xin Zixuan's face suddenly sank, and she looked worried. Suddenly, as if he had made a great decision, he walked to the desk, pulled out a few pieces of stationery, and wrote on his own.
If Shaohua knew that Xin Zixuan was coming to visit her, she would immediately jump up and dress up, and then run to the door of Biwuxuan to wait to greet her. But she didn't know, so at this moment she was sitting on the window with a huffing face, one foot bent and stepping on the window, and the other foot dangling in the air, looking very arrogant and ruffian. Chu He and Youhan stood not far from her, watching her swing her feet leisurely, worried that she would not be able to sit steadily and fall down, and on the other hand, worried that she would be seen by people outside, they ran to the Ling clan to complain.
"Fifth lady, don't be angry, Madam didn't mean to get along with you. It's just that now is a good day for the three ladies, and the family is really empty. Chu He persuaded in a good voice.
"Shouldn't I ask someone in the needlework room to help me, can I do it myself?" Shaohua didn't know how many times he was rejected, he was depressed, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. The Ling family even let people watch her, and before Wanhua went out, she was not allowed to go out, she was not allowed to meet guests, and she was not allowed to make trouble.
Youhan didn't think about it, and burst out: "Do you know how to make clothes?" ”
After she dared to finish speaking, she immediately subconsciously covered her mouth and blinked innocently in response to Shaohua's unhappy gaze.
"It's not embroidery, just cut and cut and sew it up with a needle and thread, isn't it?" Although he was poked in the sore spot by Youhan, Shaohua still defended a few words stiffly.
Hatsu explained sarcastically: "But you have already cut several pieces of cloth. Although I have never made clothes, I also know that it is not easy to make clothes, and I have to tailor the clothes, how big the waist is, how long the waist, how many pleats to make, how big each pleat, how to hide the thread, this is all particular. Chu He was no better than Youhan who could observe words and looks, and he was stunned, and he solemnly counted the tips for cutting clothes with his fingers, and didn't pay attention to Shaohua's increasingly ugly face.
Youhan hurriedly tugged at Hatsuhe's sleeve, and seeing that she didn't pay attention at all, she immediately raised her voice to interrupt her. "Wu Niangzi, Chu He means that making clothes is not an easy task, you see you have pricked your fingers a few times, we look distressed. Otherwise, let's wait, the good thing of the three ladies will be done within this month, and we will ask the master to go home and do it for you at the beginning of next month, and you can do whatever you want. ”
Looking at Chu He's blank and innocent expression, as well as Youhan's flattering face, Shaohua rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Are you really coaxing a three-year-old child?" A-Niang's meaning is clearly not to let me make red clothes, really, where are there so many rules, who said that a lady who has not decided to marry must not wear red clothes, I used to wear so many red dresses and no one said no. ”
In fact, at the beginning, she told Ling that she wanted to make a dress, but Ling only thought that she was watching Wanhua make a wedding dress, and she was envious, so she said a few comforting words to send her away. But after Shaohua mentioned it a few times, she asked a few words curiously, but when she heard that she wanted to tear the red cloth, she refused without saying a word.
Shaohua was angry, and seeing that the Ling family didn't plan to explain, he secretly asked Youhan to go outside to buy her back, wanting to secretly cut cloth and make clothes by himself. Unexpectedly, making clothes was far more difficult than she imagined, and she cut several pieces of cloth in a row, until there was no complete fabric, so she had to let Youhan go out again, but this time she was caught by the Ling family. Just now, they all dragged their master and servant to Xiyuan for a training, and Shaohua ran back angrily, with nowhere to vent his anger.
"It's red." Chu He corrected Shaohua's speech disease very seriously, and was immediately pinched by Youhan secretly.
Youhan said vaguely: "Perhaps, Pu'an's rules are not quite the same as those in the capital." ”
Seeing the two maids muttering small movements in front of them, Shaohua finally said helplessly: "That's it, A-Niang is content with only one of the third sisters in her eyes, she probably won't expect me to be like the third sister." Thinking that Wanhua was becoming more and more like an adult, after talking mysteriously with the Ling family in the house for a while a few days ago, she became even more strange.
Shaohua jumped down from the window, so frightened that Chuhe Youhan ran over to help her, but before they could stretch out their hands, she had already landed on her feet neatly, and turned into the house like the wind.
Youhan reacted first, pulling Chu He to follow, seeing that Shaohua's skills were getting lighter and lighter, and the hearts of the two jumped up and down with her figure.
"Is there any news from the second sister-in-law?" Shaohua suddenly asked.
"Probably won't be able to come, she can't leave herself now." Hatsuho shook his head.
"What's going on?" Shaohua was stunned and looked at Youhan blankly.
"Mrs. Taoyuan has come to the door again." Hatsuho replied honestly.
Shaohua suddenly narrowed his eyes and said in an unhappy tone, "What is she here for?" It's not like I'm looking for trouble. ”
Chu He shook his head and said innocently: "I don't know about this, and I haven't heard of any lady brought here, maybe it's just a guest." ”
Youhan rolled her eyes at Chuhe, she was still more aware of this kind of gossip. Seeing Shaohua immediately came and leaned over with interest, she said colorfully: "That's your lonely and unheard, I heard that after the daughter-in-law returned to the door, the aunt came to the door as a guest, and after praising the second young lady first, she began to talk to the second young lady about the daughter-in-law scripture, and also said that the second young master is the heir, is the incense of the third room, and must not be broken, and said that the second young lady should be generous, everything is based on the overall situation." Rao is second young lady is the new daughter-in-law, and she was born in the Hou Mansion, so she didn't turn her face, and if she wanted to be someone else, she would have quarreled with her a long time ago, how could anyone say such a thing as soon as the new daughter-in-law passed the door. ”
"The second sister-in-law and sister-in-law have never told me about this." After hearing this, Shaohua was taken aback.
"Fifth lady, how could the second young lady mention it to you. Not to mention that she just passed the door, and she also set up a good image with her husband's family, that is, I told you, what can you do as a lady who has not gone out. Youhan shrugged her shoulders, saw that Shaohua seemed to be about to leave, and immediately persuaded: "Fifth lady, you still don't care too much, this is Taoyuan's business after all, if you let the second lady know, you will definitely have to be counted again." ”
