Chapter 41: Wandering Posture (II)
The main room went into the face and set up a six-fold floor-to-ceiling glass screen, on which there was a painting of a magpie climbing the branch, it can be seen that it should be the marriage of Youzi that year, and it is also a large piece that is rare to bring back to the mother's house, a low couch is set up under the screen, a small case is placed on the case, and a sheep fat 'jade' bottle is on the case, and two or three branches are 'inserted' in the bottle before cutting the peach 'flower'.
This low couch, small table and several pieces of furniture around it are made of golden silk nanmu, which has its own merits and is enough to pass on to future generations. Looking at the small pieces around, there are also many furnishings such as glazed horses, jade pots, and coral bonsai.
The two little envoys 'women' saw Zhuo Zhao's program light spinning around on the small case, and their hearts suddenly struck, and the one who was less courageous couldn't help but eat: "That is not from the Binwei Courtyard, it is cut from the peach tree in the garden." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie originally just glanced at it casually, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, Mingji couldn't help but smile and said: "Our yard is guarded, you have to cut your own Ming leaves, Ming 'Yin' tell the 'girl'...... Besides, the 'girl' is not that stingy person. ”
Ren Shenzhi was also embarrassed, so he coughed lightly and said, "Mother is inside." ”
Because it is his own junior, there is nothing to avoid, so they all entered the inner room, the inner room is half-covered and half-hung with a pair of water 'essence' curtains, the room has the residual breath of burning benzoin, under the brocade tent in the gilt hook, a sickly face is half-lying on the pillow of thick satin turmeric embroidered dark lines, she is a thin eyebrows and fine eyes of the 'woman', because of a long illness, the face 'color' is pale and with a hint of sallow, holding a family bun, the illness is not decorated with a hairpin ring, pale face' The color of the hair is extraordinarily black, but although her black hair is black, it looks boring when she looks close, and she has already called out softly to be polite, and wants to ask the 'girl' to fetch snacks and fruits to entertain.
Everyone was busy telling her not to bother, and You Canzui said quickly: "Little aunt, don't be busy, we are here to visit you, how can you still be told to '' and tired?" Speaking of which, we are not filial, and we have long wanted to come over to visit our aunt, first because Jiang Qiqi was inconvenient here, and then he left, we are so busy with this and that that we can't get out, it's good that my little aunt doesn't blame us! ”
You Zi smiled and said: "You all have things to do, and besides, I always have to get sick every now and then, and I am embarrassed to come to see me every time." She spoke softly, although there was a lack of qi in her illness, but she always sounded a little cautious, lest she offend people, even if she was a junior.
After a few words of greeting on both sides, Zhuo Zhaojie glanced at the little envoy 'girl' who came in with a plate of candied fruit with snacks but was a little at a loss, pursed his lips and smiled: "We don't have to be so troublesome, you can take it down first." ”
When the little envoy heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and took it out as it was.
After a while, You Zi had not healed in the end, and he 'revealed' the "color" of exhaustion, and Chenguang was not early, so several people took the opportunity to say goodbye - and when they came out of Feixia Garden, Minghe just came over with a basket, and saw that Ren Shenzhi was sending a few people out, so he cleverly avoided the side, and when the people left, they sent it to Feixia Court.
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't see her, walked a few steps, and let You Ju and You Xuan go, she and You Can quietly bit their ears: "I see that my aunt is doing well, and there is no shortage of candied fruits." "Just the furnishings in the Feixia Garden, it shows that although the Ban family doesn't care much about Youzi, but really didn't treat her badly, Zhuo Zhaojie lived in Binwei Courtyard with probably the old things left by his mother Youji, the 'daughter', although it is more 'fine' than the Feixia Garden, and the places are bigger and bigger, but it is still far from the world of difference - after all, You Zi returned to his parents' house in a hurry, due to the long distance, he didn't even bring back the dowry, all these years were all raised by his mother's family, and Zhuo Zhaojie's grandson' The female is fostered in Youjia, and the Zhuo family sends things here every year in a boat to offset the expenses of the "female".
You Can also saw that the candied fruit in the lacquer plate served by the little envoy was sent by the Bai family, after all, the candied fruit sent by the Bai family was given to the second lady first, and then distributed by the second lady.
"Maybe you're sick and want something else?" You Can guessed, and then thought of You Xuan's words that "Baijia candied fruit also has various flavors", and couldn't help but complain a little about You Zi's mother and son, "What are they doing?" Although my grandmother usually doesn't ask Feixia Court much, she is not badly treated, so the people outside still think that our family can't accommodate them! ”
Zhuo Zhaojie groaned and said: "The little aunt also put some candied fruits in front of me, but I don't look like they were sent by the Bai family, and there are no cherries in it." ”
You Can said: "I didn't pay attention to what else was in front of her? ”
"When we went in, someone happened to put it away, and you greeted your aunt for fear of not paying attention." Zhuo Zhaojie said quietly, "Xu is my aunt reluctant to eat?" ”
"What's there to be reluctant about?" You Can said in surprise, "The Bai family doesn't want silver money when they send it over, can she still take it out and sell it for silver?" The Moling is so big, if this is the case, where will we never hear the wind? ”
Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips: "Yes." ”
A few people went to Duanyi Yuan to ask for peace, and roughly said that the day had passed - naturally they had omitted the matter of the falcon and the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng, and first went to Feixia Court to visit Youzi, Ban heard that Zhuo Zhaojie also went, and immediately frowned, but he didn't say anything in front of him, and asked a few words lightly, so he left Zhuo Zhaojie to eat, and even You Xuan sent them back to their respective rooms.
After the meal, You Ruoheng went to the study to relax, Ban's Liuzhuo Zhaojie spoke, and asked: "What are you doing in Feixia Garden?" ”
Ban didn't mention it, Zhuo Zhaojie also wanted to say this, she pondered what she was going to say next, and then said with a smile: "When I came back, I met the eleventh cousin, and when I said that, I pulled the eleventh cousin back to take a look...... Speaking of which, she eats it herself, but it is not very good to buy it from outside. ”
She was raised by Ban's single-handedly, and there was something in this that could be hidden from Ban's, and she said with a smile at the moment: "Do you think I have mistreated their mother and son, and I want to talk to them?" ”
"How so?" Zhuo Zhao was so tired of 'sex' that she coquettishly said in her arms, "I'm a strange thing...... Because of the Bai family, the family has never needed to buy preserves, and the second aunt has always been good with the aunt, so naturally there will be no shortage of the aunt's share...... But last time, on the day the Jiang family came over, my second aunt asked me to come and get ginseng from my grandmother, and I seemed to have some disputes with my second uncle at that time...... Aren't the second aunt and aunt bad? Otherwise, why would my aunt go out to buy it? ”
"Your second aunt and second uncle have a dispute?" Ban raised an eyebrow, "What are they fighting for?" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie roughly described what the two said that day, and finally said: "Later, I saw that the second aunt was just as good to the eleventh cousin, and it was not like the younger aunt and the second aunt had any contradictions, but the second aunt was really reluctant to ask me to go that day, but the second uncle insisted......"
"Humph! That's because your second uncle is too timid! When Ban heard this, his face sank, and he said, "Why did I tell you to avoid it that day? ”
"Grandmother...... Don't want the Jiang family to see me? Zhuo Zhaojie pondered for a moment and said.
Ban's 'look' was uncertain: "This idea is going to drag out the signboard of the Minping Marquis Mansion, as if the You family has no backbone and is supported by their in-laws-shame or not?" As he spoke, he sighed hatefully, "It seems that I am wrong to blame your second aunt, I'm afraid that even the Jiang family ...... I thought it was all arranged by me! You kid is also honest, I asked you to go and get ginseng, and you went, I asked you what you were doing in the past in front of Liu, and you said honestly...... Alas, I can't blame you, it's your second uncle who is too timid, just a Jiang family, even if our family loses a little, it's just a matter of saying more good things to make up for some crimes, can you still call Qixiang, purple 'jade' and serve them to pay for the Jiang family's lives? What's more, this matter was simply caused by the Jiang family for her son! He doesn't worry about making more moves......"
She shook her head, "Your second aunt is an understanding person, I know that I specially called you to the second room to eat, just I don't want the Jiang family to misunderstand, the self-assertion she scolded Canniang is not your aunt or your eleventh cousin, but your second uncle!" ”
"I see!" Zhuo Zhaojie thought to himself that the Jiang family, who had always made their in-laws dare not slack off, came to talk this time and left after a short time, could it really be for the sake of the face of the Marquis of Minping? But Minpinghou is not just a grandchild, not to mention that the Zhuo family is far away in Chang'an...... My grandfather's face is too big...... She was curious, but looking at Ban's meaning, she didn't know how to inquire about it.
After thinking about it, he continued to ask, "Since the second aunt and the aunt didn't fall out, why did the aunt have to buy another candied fruit?" The Bai family has been pinching and will send it again when they finish eating...... It's always been constant. ”
Ban 'touched' her sideburns, and said with a slight smile: "Your little mother's family doesn't know firewood, rice, oil and salt, and your aunt is just your eleventh cousin's son, how can you not think about him?" ”
Seeing that Zhuo Zhaojie was still confused, Ban Shi said in detail, "Your little uncle Ren Hua was originally very embarrassed, if it weren't for Ren Taishou's insistence on giving that outer room a name, he wouldn't even be able to get a surname!" Later, although he reluctantly recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, the Ren family was a scholarly 'door', a Qinglou was born, and he was also the former head of the famous drunken pavilion in the Northland! Do you want your elders to be able to see the outer room and your little uncle? Besides, the Ren family is flourishing, and there is no shortage of children and grandchildren at all! ”
Speaking of this, Ban sneered and said, "Although your aunt was not born to me, I actually didn't approve of marrying her to the Ren family at the beginning!" It's just that her biological mother was still alive at the time, and although the other official positions I picked were not as good as Ren Taishou, they were not disliked by the elders, and the 'door' lintel was lower, and even a few people who were sisters-in-law were not satisfied. ”
Saying that, he glanced at Zhuo Zhaojie, and said earnestly, "You remember, the 'female' son is weak, and the mother is strong, for example, your step-grandmother is the step-family, your father and uncle are not from her, she has her own parent-child, no matter how virtuous she is...... When it comes to life and death, eight out of ten. Nine of them, always thinking about their own sons and 'daughters', and most of the remaining one or two also have other hardships - this can't be blamed on her, this is the nature of human beings! If it were your mother, even if your grandfather and the Ren family exchanged their wedding letters, no matter how much notoriety I had, I would have to mess up this marriage! Where will you say yes?! ”
Writing down Ban's lesson, Zhuo Zhaojie cautiously asked, "That...... Well, what does my aunt's biological mother do to marry my aunt to the Ren family? I don't think it's good for the Ren family. ”
"What else? It's nothing more than that he takes a fancy to Ren Taishou is a party Taishou, and thinks that since Ren Hua is the concubine he wants to recognize even if he disobeys his parents, he must be extremely favored, and he will have to seek a good future for him in the future! Even if he can't have a good future, he won't be treated badly in private, right? Ban snorted, "That stupid 'woman' doesn't want to think about it, how many brothers and sisters are there in this Ren Hua?" Not to mention that their father is just a guard, even if it is a royal family, the royal family has to be divided into high and low! There are always people who are left out in the cold, not to mention that Ren Hua's biological mother has been dead for several years at that time, and there is no one in the backyard to speak for him! That stupid 'woman' always thinks that my marriage is not good, so I naturally don't bother to care about your aunt, and I feel sorry for who gives birth to her. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie vaguely heard Mama Zhou inadvertently leak the air, mentioning that You Zi's biological mother was originally Ban's handmaid's 'daughter', but she took advantage of You Ruoheng's drunkenness to climb the 'bed' and have Youzi, so she became a concubine, and Ban was worried about it, and the concubine had been very frightened in front of her.
These old things, she and Ban don't want to mention more, Zhuo Zhaojie said bluntly: "Now that my aunt has taken my eleventh cousin back to live in You's house, it can be seen that my grandmother has good eyesight, speaking of which, my eleventh cousin has always read well, I think my eleventh cousin should be a reasonable person, why don't my grandmother treat my eleventh cousin better, and in the future, my eleventh cousin will be able to get closer to my cousin and cousins." ”
Ban nodded her eyebrows, and scolded with a smile: "The little thing with no conscience has admonished me...... It's just so that you can be close to him, so I won't treat him too well! ”
