Chapter 202: Concubine
You sang the black-faced gang 'girl' to capture the heart of the personal envoy 'woman', and then did not hesitate, hurriedly got up, and ordered Zhuo Zhaojie to follow him to find the eldest lady and inform him of the matter.
Although today's happy event is a three-room event, but the Hou Mansion is the eldest lady in charge, no matter which room she always can't shirk to help, not to mention that the third lady has been in charge of people and things since she entered the 'door', except for the third room, she has not been in charge of people and things, the eldest son of the third room, Wulang Zhuo Zhaoyuan, died young, Qilang's original second son is actually the eldest son, and the marriage of the son and daughter' Although the third lady is not the first time to 'operate', but Zhuo Yuniang, who was out of the cabinet before, is a 'woman' and a 'woman', and marries as a man The third lady has never done it, but she is not as experienced as other rooms.
What's more, the situation is different now, and the guests invited by the Hou Mansion are quite subtle, and they can't cope with it without the eldest lady coming forward.
You expected that the eldest lady should be in the third room, so he went directly to the third room, and when he got inside, he saw that the eldest lady was so busy that her face was haggard, and she was being served by the maid drinking a bowl of ginseng soup.
Seeing You's bringing in with a 'daughter', the two concubines were secretly relieved, and the third lady hurriedly said: "Fourth brother and sister, you are here, I don't know what to do about these things, the tired sister-in-law can't rest when she drinks ginseng soup, the fourth brother and sister came just in time, tell me quickly." ”
Now the Hou Mansion has not been divided, in addition to the big room, the fourth room and the fifth room between the five rooms are very estranged, there is no side contradiction, like there are happy events in the three rooms today, of course the You family also wants to help, but because there are many guests invited today, they need to ' There are a lot of places to worry about, and the third lady can't hold up many scenes, the eldest lady and the You family must leave one to accompany her perfunctory, it is the eldest lady and the You family to discuss, the eldest lady gets up early to help, this will be the You family to come over to change, let the eldest lady take a breath, lest the two most experienced ladies in charge and hospitality are exhausted, and the interest of the wedding is swept away.
This will be the You family, and the eldest lady and the third lady naturally think that the You family came over a little earlier to help.
Seeing Zhuo Zhaojie following behind, the third lady beckoned: "Banniang is behind, thinking about the tea and snacks to entertain the little ladies, is Qi Niang going to help her take a look?" ”
The third lady spared no effort to invite her nephew and nephew to help, but she was afraid that the third room would not do well, and she looked like she was in a hurry, in fact, Zhuo Zhirun's marriage preparation Chenguang was definitely not short, although he was a concubine, but he could read well, and his biological mother was safe, and the third lady herself only had Zhuo Zhaojia's own son to live until now, Zhuo Zhaojia was young, and she hoped that the two brothers would support each other in the future.
However, no one expected that the saint would come out on the prince's birthday, and now the king of Zhending County is more and more satisfied, and the king of Yanchang is afraid of the saint and the queen, so he does not dare to gather easily, so as not to be sued in front of the emperor, so that the saint thinks that this is dissatisfaction with the will, but there is a prince, and the Marquis of Minping has spent a lot of effort on the king of Yanchang County, so he is naturally unwilling to give up.
Now Zhuo Zhirun's grandson is married, which is a ready-made reason, Minpinghou almost scattered the posts all over Chang'an, and the momentum far exceeded the expectations of the third lady before, so the preparations made in advance are not at all, this will make the eldest lady tired to take ginseng soup to support, looking at the eyes are struggling, the third lady can't care to listen to Zhuo Zhaojie's answer, and pulled You Shi to ask: "The fourth brother and sister look at the few people in the Dunyuan Marquis Mansion placed in the 'flower' hall, okay?" ”
"The 'woman' of the Marquis of Dunyuan will definitely arrive, and the others are fine, I just don't know if the Yi family will come." Because the third lady was there, it was inconvenient for the You family to directly tell the eldest lady about the matter, so he helped her first and said, "If you come, it's better to settle them separately, otherwise I'm afraid it will be easy to make trouble." ”
"That's what I think, too, but how do I have to separate it?" The third lady was embarrassed and said, "According to the seniority, the Yi family is the elder of the 'wife' of the prince of Dunyuan, but she is just a concubine in the end. ”
Originally, on such an occasion today, even if there is no old lady in a serious family, since there is a daughter-in-law 'wife' coming, the concubine 'servant' will naturally not come over again, so as not to make a bad arrangement on the side of the lord's family, but Dunyuan Hou's love for the Yi family is one, and the 'private' and 'friendship' between Dunyuan Hou and Minping Hou has always been good, so Dunyuan Hou has never treated the Zhuo family as an outsider, and when the two families come to deal, this Yi family as half a lady of the family comes forward to greet and deal with things is not once or twice, so today the Yi family also came, at least more than eighty percent of the possibility.
You Shi smiled faintly and said, "Anyway, she is also from the old lady's generation, why not ask her mother to call the shots?" ”
The third lady suddenly realized that this was a matter of leaving the problem to the Shen family.
The second and third rooms didn't dare to offend the Shen family, although the You family's idea was good, but the third lady hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Then please ask the fourth brother and sister to help me here first to see how to deal with the remaining things, I will go to the upper room and talk to my mother." ”
She was planning to go over in person and lower her posture to beg the Shen family, lest this scene spread out, and the Shen family thought that the third lady was standing on the side of the big room and the fourth room, and wanted to calculate her together.
You Shi wished that she could talk to the eldest lady if she left early, so he immediately said, "Don't worry, I have something to discuss with my sister-in-law." ”
When the third lady left, the eldest lady tiredly 'rubbed' her forehead and said, "But where is the placement wrong?" ”
"You go out first." You sent his subordinates away, and asked Aunt Mao to go out and take care of the 'door' household, leaving Zhuo Zhaojie by his side, pointing to the 'girl', "You tell your aunt what happened after Liuniang arrived at Jinghong Tower this morning." ”
The eldest lady looked at Zhuo Zhaojie in surprise, and her face changed suddenly after hearing her say a few words, and when Zhuo Zhaojie finished briefly, You added: "A Xing was so lazy that she couldn't let me find out that Liu Niang and Qi Niang were deceived in time, I have already been punished, as for Yi Niang, she is the sister-in-law's person, and today is a good day for Qilang, I shouldn't come over to talk about this, especially the sister-in-law is so tired now, but I think Yi Niang arrived too timely, late to the meeting, where will A Xing save those few words?" It is related to the reputation of the two children, especially Qi Niang has already made a marriage, Ning Jiu's temper, and the sister-in-law also knows it, although he is now the elder of our family, but the eldest princess of Jiyang will not look at Ning Jiu wronged. ”
You said this, because he suspected that Yi Niang had 'inserted' eyeliner in the fourth room, and had even 'inserted' it into Jinghong Building, so he was able to so coincidentally pinch Ah Xing's Chenguang to go to Nian Ci Tang, and prevented Ah Xing from checking the instructions of the eldest lady with You and Mao Gu; Second, she said that she would not accept that the big things would be small and the small things would be nothing, and she must ask the big house for an explanation.
The eldest lady was so 'shrewd', she immediately heard who You really wanted to investigate, her face changed a few times, and then she said softly: "Fourth brother and sister, today's matter is that I can't live with you and Qi Niang, I'm here, don't I compensate you first!" ”
You shook his head and said: "Sister-in-law, our concubine has also been these years, and now Wuwu and Wuji are six years old, when I only entered the 'door', thanks to the sister-in-law to have today, I can't complain to the sister-in-law, I said this to the sister-in-law, what is it, the sister-in-law understands that it is not me who is ruthless as an aunt, if Siniang only does what she does to Qi Niang, I will not wait so much until tomorrow, this will know that the sister-in-law is busy and has to come over, after all, Qi Niang and Si Niang are cousins, and it is really nothing' Love, she was confused for a while, I can't forgive, but Liuniang and Siniang were raised by sisters-in-law, even if they are half-sisters, they are not much worse than siblings, right? I'm really surprised by Siniang's thoughts, sister-in-law, please think, how many distinguished relatives are coming to our family today? She did this, I don't know if there is any backhand, this is to take two innocent sisters as enemies! What's more, where did Liuniang and Qiniang offend her? ”
"Yi Niang may have arrived at a coincidence." The eldest lady's gaze darkened when You Shi spoke, but she still whispered for the 'girl', "Siniang and Liuniang have always been good, she will not deliberately harm Yi Niang, and the matter of moving the screen, I did tell Siniang, although I don't remember what time it was, I think, if Ah Xing didn't happen to bump into Yi Niang to the fourth room, she would definitely talk to Mao Gu about the so-called apology, Mao Gu 'shrewd', she will stop it, in this way, it's just Si Niang made a joke about Liu Niang, it can't be true." ”
You Shi looked at her face, and sighed for a moment before saying, "Sister-in-law, since you are reluctant, I can't help but miss it, but ...... I have to say, Siniang is just a young 'spring', just guarding at home in the end is not a way, I think, or find a good family for her, after all, it is the lady of the Hou Mansion, and there is no child 'daughter' to drag down the distraction, today's age can still pick one, even if Chang'an is not suitable, as long as the person is good, it is nothing far away, otherwise it will be a mistake in a few years, she is still young, not sensible, and thinks it is easy to keep a lifetime, if you regret it in a few years, I am afraid that it will be too late to choose someone. ”
This means that no matter what, the You family will not allow Zhuo Jiangniang to continue to stay in the Hou Mansion, and it is necessary to send out the 'door', it is best to marry far away, and there is no chance to return to her parents' house in this life.
The eldest lady was silent for a moment and said, "I understand, after today, I will talk to her about it." He added, "I'll tell her to go back to the big room in a moment, so she doesn't have to come out today, and she won't 'interfere' in anything else." ”
You Shi apologized again: "Sister-in-law, I am in a hurry about today's matter, and I don't hide it from my sister-in-law, I really don't like Siniang very much from a few years ago, this child is too thoughtful, and it is really not suitable to stay at home for a long time." I definitely didn't mean to be disrespectful to my sister-in-law. ”
"I know." The eldest lady shook her head, "You send your subordinates away, and wait for the third brother and sister to leave before you talk about it, not only for fear that it will not be good for Liuniang and Qiniang if it is passed out, but also because you want to save face for me......" She motioned to You's not to speak, "It's me who taught the 'female' no way, and the things of the year were really sorry for Fanghua, and even the sixth mother loved to eat peach 'flower' cake so much, but she couldn't go to Ruan's house, but I also said back then, there will never be a second time for the same thing, although I hurt Siniang, I am not confused in such a matter." ”
"I believe in my sister-in-law." You said cautiously.
After saying this, the tired 'color' on the eldest lady's face became heavier, and the You family didn't dare to let the eldest lady be angry, and softly persuaded the eldest lady a few words, and then called someone in to serve again, but he picked up the things left by the third lady and asked them one by one.
Zhuo Zhaojie remembered the words of the third lady before, and was about to get up to look for Zhuo Zhaoshu, not wanting to be 'pumped' by the You clan to see her sideburns wet. The wet strand of broken hair stuck to the side of his cheeks and had not yet dried, and he suddenly frowned, and said: "You are running around sweating, hurry up and take advantage of this time to have a little effort, go back to take a bath, change your dress and come out, and then clean up the fat powder jewelry, don't let people think that our family is lazy." ”
Nowadays, the climate is hot, although the 'doors' of the third and fourth rooms are not separated by a few steps, but even if there is an umbrella when walking around, everyone is sweating.
Zhuo Zhaojie is no exception, she is young and vigorous, not easy to be calm and cold, although she has been in the house for a while, and there is also an ice basin in this room, but the sweat on her sideburns has not dried, this will be said by You's family, so she responded, got up and led the 'girl' back to the fourth room to clean up.
