Chapter 17 Liu Ruoyu
[Chapter 3, Volume 3]
Section 148
In the early morning of the next day, Wei Changying felt Shen Zangfeng kissing her chest for a long time in a daze, she muttered a few words, but fell asleep tiredly...... When he was woken up by the Huang family, when he saw that the sky was bright, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and then he was relieved to think that Mrs. Su was not in the mansion and he didn't need to ask for peace.
Huang took the middle coat and put it on for her, and said: "Although the young lady didn't say when to let the young lady pass over yesterday, the first time I visited the big house, the young lady still got up early." ”
"He's gone to the palace?" Wei Changying straightened his thick knee-length hair, and asked casually, Shen Zangfeng said that his fake will be today, and he will enter the palace to cancel the fake and thank the saint.
Huang smiled and said: "The young lady is really, it's been a few days since she passed the door, how can you mention that Gongzi is still 'him' or 'him'?" When the son left, he also told us to let the young lady sleep more! ”
"Bring the dress, let's go over early, so as not to wait for the sister-in-law." Wei Changying pretended not to hear this sentence and urged.
"The young lady is still wearing a collar and a shirt today." Huang smiled and said, "Look at the formation of this snow-green ground entwined peony pattern?" ”
Wei Changying was surprised: "Why do you have to wear a collar?" ”
Huang didn't say much, and directly handed over a small target mirror - Wei Changying took it suspiciously, and suddenly blushed: but saw that on the edge of the placket, there were deep and shallow kiss marks, and a few places were almost close to the side of the neck, and it was strange that Huang would recommend wearing a skirt with a collar instead of a placket......
After changing clothes according to Huang's suggestion, and hurriedly had some breakfast, Wei Changying led people to the big room.
Like the Golden Tung Temple, the "Xinyi Pavilion" where the big house lives is also a detached courtyard. It's just one more than the Kindo Temple. This is not only because Shen Zangli is the eldest son, but also because the big house now has a pair of children, and the place that needs to be used is more than the third room.
Ten-year-old eldest grandson Shen Shujing has now begun to learn to treat people with her mother, this time Wei Changying arrived, and Liu happened to use her to practice her daughter's hands - let Shen Shujing go outside the door to greet her aunt, and then accompany her aunt all the way back.
This niece is polite, calm, and behaves just right, Wei Changying saw it in her eyes, and secretly praised it in her heart: It is like a cousin when she was young. can be compared with Song Zaishui when he was young, which shows that Shen Shujing is well educated.
When he arrived at the main hall of the second entrance, Liu was frowning tightly, and after Wei Changying entered the door, he found that in addition to her and the subordinates, there was a woman in the hall with a red sandalwood bead flower tree and a deep coat of deer Rui pattern brocade, wearing a fallen horse bun, obliquely inserting two unengraved golden hairpins, and sitting at the bottom with a serious expression.
The woman looked about thirty years old, with pretty eyebrows and eyes, and when she saw Wei Changying, she squinted, got up before Liu opened her mouth to introduce, and said, "This is the third young lady?" It's really beautiful in the world, and our three sons are really talented and beautiful. ”
Wei Changying looked at her inexplicably, the woman stood up, but she didn't mean to salute...... It doesn't look like it's said by a subordinate, but what is the way it came from?
Fortunately, although Liu was a step slower, he also spoke at this moment: "The third brother and sister have just passed the door, and they don't know Aunt Guo yet?" ”
It turned out to be Shen Xuan's concubine!
Wei Changying suddenly realized that the concubine was still half a slave, even if it was a favored concubine, in terms of status, it was not as high as the concubine who married seriously. It's just that this Aunt Guo is obviously pampered, although she is not obviously domineering, but between her words and deeds, there is also a bit of elder.
The Liu family and Wei Changying are both from famous families, and they have been respectful and humble since childhood, and they don't like her like this. But Aunt Guo's words meant so, she didn't think she was an elder, and the two of them couldn't do anything to her because of this, Wei Changying said lightly: "It turned out to be Aunt Guo, I just came, but I haven't seen it before." ”
Aunt Guo saw that her attitude was cold, and she snorted: "Originally, the third young lady was newly married, and I am not an eyeless person, so I am causing trouble at this time. It's just that the second son easily got such a male fetus, and now there is no inexplicable one...... Traces of abortion drugs were also found in the ginseng tea that Lu Qiao drinks on weekdays, which is ...... It's just that the second young lady is not there, I want to ask the eldest young lady to help check it, but the eldest young lady doesn't dare to be self-conscious, so I will invite the third young lady to do the proof......"
Liu coughed and said, "This is a matter in the second brother's room, although the second brother and sister accompanied their mother to the Su family, it is not that they will not come back." I'm a sister-in-law, and it's supposed to help her take care of a few nieces, but when it comes to the second brother's heir, how dare I take over such a big thing? Besides, in the Flower Garden, except for the second brother and sister, I am not very familiar with the people next to me. ”
Wei Changying pinched the handkerchief: The co-author Liu doesn't want to interfere, is he planning to call himself over and perfunctory this Aunt Guo together? This is not surprising, according to Huang's analysis last night, if Luqiao Xiaosheng is harmed by people, it is most likely Duanmu's. But the Liu family is also happy to see it happen - after all, there is no son in the second room, and the momentum is difficult to shake.
As for exposing the Duanmu clan, it is not Shen Jishi who is now designated as the next lord, but Shen Zangfeng. The Liu family and the Duanmu family should be an alliance for the time being, if they don't fight the third room, how can the big room and the second room dismantle each other?
However, the Liu family didn't want to dismantle the Duanmu family's platform, but Shen Jishi's biological mother, the Guo family, refused to let things pass like this. Whether it is green or silver, no matter who the biological mother is, the heirs of the second room are always the blood of Aunt Guo and Shen Yongshi, and now the concubine who is pregnant with Shen Yongshi's eldest son was murdered with abortion pills, and Aunt Guo, who is also a concubine and looks forward to the prosperity of the heirs under her son's knees, is unwilling not to find out.
But the Duanmu clan is now accompanying Mrs. Su to fulfill her filial piety in the Su family, and the concubine Liu and Wei Changying did not help her share her worries and solve problems, but took the opportunity to meddle in her backyard - how can there be such a reason? So no matter what Aunt Guo said, it was impossible for the Liu family to promise to investigate this matter by herself, and Wei Changying was the same.
In the end, Aunt Guo is just a concubine, not Mrs. Su. If Mrs. Su sent this and asked the Liu family and Wei Changying to help Shen Yongshi investigate the backyard, who was so bold to murder Shen Yongshi's eldest son, it would be justified.
So Liu emphasized: "I don't dare to say anything about this second room without my mother or second siblings to speak." ”
Aunt Guo said: "I know that the young lady is embarrassed, but now Mrs. Deng is obviously not lightly ill, otherwise why would Mrs. not come back for two nights in a row?" Even the eldest prince went to see it, and said that the Su family had invited Miss Duanmu Ba to come to the house for diagnosis...... Madame must be worried and sad now, I really dare not let Madame worry about this matter again. And the second young lady has to serve the lady, and I am afraid that she will not be able to come back for a while. Wouldn't the person who murdered Lu Qiao annihilate all the evidence in this period of light? In this way, how can the second young lady check when she comes back? ”
just sobbed, "The poor second son is so easy to look forward to the eldest son, but it turns out that he is gone before he sees it!" If the green body is useless, it's fine. But Lu Qiao was so good that he was killed, and if he didn't check it clearly, wouldn't the people who were pregnant in the backyard be in danger for everyone? ”
He said to the chief of the guard, "The third young lady only entered the door, you said, when you entered the door, you saw that the pregnant concubine was murdered, and the one who killed the person has not been found out, and you have a body in the future, can you not be frightened?" ”
Wei Changying was a little displeased that she compared her pregnancy with a concubine, so she said lightly: "Aunt Guo should not be sad, lest she be sad and break her body, and the second brother is also worried about her aunt." ”
Liu had a headache and said: "Auntie, it's not that I don't feel sorry for my second brother, it's just that you see, my mother is not here now, and I have to watch a little bit of everything in this house." The three nieces under the knee of the second brother and sister are still young, since I promised the second brother and sister to take care of the nieces for her, I can't take them to the big house and leave it alone? I really don't have a lot of work right now...... I restrained the people there in Luqiao, and asked them to bring them food, and when the second brother and sister came back, the matter of the second room, of course, the second brother and sister knew best, didn't it? ”
Aunt Guo glanced at Wei Changying, Wei Changying was surprised, Liu found the reason that she was not available, she didn't want Aunt Guo to hit her head with the idea, so she said: "I just entered the door, I don't know anything, but if I want to come to the second room, the second sister-in-law is the most familiar." Now that the second sister-in-law is accompanying her mother in the Su family, why not send a letter and ask the second sister-in-law what she means? After all, it is a matter of the second brother's backyard, and the second sister-in-law should be in charge. ”
A trace of helplessness flashed on Aunt Guo's face, and she said, "I'm afraid that the second young lady will accompany the lady and have no time to ......."
"Auntie, don't worry." Liu quickly said and said, "Mother also hopes that the second brother will have a son as soon as possible, if she knows about this, she will definitely not let the second brother and sister come back!" ”
"But Madame is now serving Mrs. Deng, so let Madame worry about the affairs of the mansion again......" Aunt Guo bit her lip.
Liu smiled: "Auntie, don't worry, isn't the eldest son of the second brother, who has no fate, also the grandchild of his mother?" How could a mother not care? ”
Having said this, Aunt Guo had nothing to say, so she had to sigh, say a few words of entrustment, and then walked away.
When she left, Liu smiled bitterly and said to Wei Changying: "I'm really sorry for the third brother and sister, you just passed the door, so I trouble you like this." ”
"What did my sister-in-law say?" Wei Changying hurriedly said, "I'm ashamed, the eldest sister-in-law was going to take care of this family up and down, Shu Jing and Shu Ming also wanted the eldest sister-in-law to teach them, and Shu Rou's three nieces have also arrived in the big house in the past few days...... It's ...... that I didn't help me with anything when I was so busy."
Liu waved his hand and said, "It's just that I don't want to meddle in the backyard of the second room, so I deliberately said it to Aunt Guo." Although the nieces are young, they are very sensible, and they don't have to worry about it at all, not to mention that Ruoyu helps take care of them. As for these things at home, my mother has long had rules to follow, and I just watched it. ”
Wei Changying sighed: "I really didn't expect the second sister-in-law to accompany her mother to the Su family, and something like this happened in the second room." Yesterday, husband...... After my husband heard about it, he was also very worried about the second brother! ”
"Oh, isn't it?" Liu obviously didn't want to say much about Lu Qiao, so he changed the topic, "It's noon, if the third brother and sister don't dislike it, just have a meal here with my sister-in-law." ”
Wei Changying said a few polite words and agreed.
The two of them chatted for a while, and then the flower hall was ready to invite, and Liu and she humbly entered each other, but saw that there was already a group of people waiting in the hall.
In addition to Shen Shujing's juniors, there was also a young girl with her back to them, leaning down to wipe her face for the youngest Shen Shuyan. Looking from behind, this girl wore a primrose-colored embroidered small plum blossom narrow sleeve collar undergarment, a moon-white hidden flower skirt, a colorful silk belt at the waist, a hundred flowers brocade silk in her arms, and a hanging hair in a bun, and the two crystal steps on the bun shook gently with the soft wind passing through the hall, reflecting the colorful light and reflecting a piece of brilliance on the crow temples.
Hearing Shen Shujing and his entourage's salutation, the girl hurriedly turned around and followed Ying Ying with a salute: "Seventh sister!" ”
Liu said softly: "Don't be formal. "I introduced it to Wei Changying, "This is Ruoyu, the eldest daughter of my fifth uncle." ”
He also introduced Wei Changying, "This is your sister Wei." ”
Wei Changying looked at Liu Ruoyu, with a white melon seed face, eyebrows and apricot eyes, a straight nose, and the most eye-catching thing was a cherry mouth, not from Zhu, and when she pursed her lips and smiled, she was really a beauty. It's just that this Liu Ruoyu is beautiful, but her little face is pale, and her body is also thin, as if she has been harshly used, coupled with the gloomy color shrouded between her eyebrows, the whole person shows a kind of weak and bullied delicate forbearance.
Previously, Wan hinted that after Liu Ruoyu lost her biological mother when she was young, her stepmother entered the door and was not very good to her. She didn't have her relatives and brothers to help her, only the sister of the Liu family took her over the door for two days, and her life in the Liu family was far less good than that in the Shen family. Now seeing Liu Ruoyu's cautious look, Wei Changying was also a little unbearable, and said with a smile: "Last time, I heard my sister-in-law say that Ruoyu's sister was here, and I wanted to come to see my sister, but I just passed the door, and I was entangled in everything, and I didn't see my sister until today...... If I had such a wonderful sister, I would have to take her to me from time to time. ”
