Chapter 108: Overcoming Rigidity with Softness, Virtuous Woman's Style

Because the third prince came coldly, Mama Lan was also very nervous at noon, secretly praying that the marriage of the eldest lady and the second prince would not have any changes.

It is not the beginning, the autumn sun is just right, pouring in front of the door straight to the front of the house of the road, the bluestone bricks cross a layer of secluded brilliance, on both sides of the road, two rows of evergreen camphor, still lush as a shade, the green color to the west wind, gently shake the leakage and warmth.

Mama Lan wandered for a while, and finally saw Wei Guogong and his wife coming here one after another, and hurriedly piled up a smile on their faces, stepping forward with steady steps, when they saw Wei Guogong's tightly locked brows, the curvature of the corners of her lips stiffened, and she looked at Huang carefully, but saw that the corners of her wife's lips were soothing, not half nervous, not like she had an argument with Grandpa Guo, Mama Lan was puzzled in her heart.

Seeing that his wife's nurse greeted him, Wei Guogong bowed his head in response, still striding with his hands down, and marched into the main hall with a golden sword, and opened the curtain and entered the second bedroom.

Huang followed closely, and after a slight hesitation, Mama Lan at the back also walked in on her heels, helping Huang to sit on the west seat carved on the big kang along the window, raising her eyelids to look at Wei Guogong's still dignified face, but she didn't know how to quit, only took the tea cup held by Bai Lu, put it on the kang table between the two masters, and motioned for Bai Lu to wait outside the curtain, and stood aside by himself, talking about Huang's hard work during this time.

For many years, Grandpa Guo has never accepted the concubine room next to her, nor has she seen the room, even if she loves Aunt Cui a little, she has never snubbed the Huang family, let alone indulged Aunt Cui to provoke the authority of the main room, and has always been respectful to her as a nurse.

After a long time, Mama Lan became bold, she was not very afraid of Wei Guogong, and she often relied on her own milk to grow up the Huang family's affection, gossiping a few words.

Seeing that Grandpa Guo was not kind today, she guessed that she was dissatisfied with the Huang family, so she emphasized how busy the family affairs were these days, and told the Huang family's hard work between her words, and tactfully reminded Grandpa Guo not to be angry with the Huang family, even if there were any conflicts between the husband and wife, they had to communicate softly.

If it was usual, Wei Guogong would naturally not be disrespectful to his wife's nurse, but today, he was really a little impatient and did not let Mama Lan sit down.

When Wei Guogong patiently drank a cup of hot tea, seeing that Mama Lan was still unconsciously only gossiping, she finally couldn't hold it back, and got up with "Huo".

The head of the family of the Guogong Mansion, when he was a teenager, he also experienced the battlefield with the old Guogong, and trained a decisive military general's momentum, and mastered the Jingwei Command Division for many years.

Mama Lan had never seen such a "majesty" as Grandpa Guo, she choked on her lips and took a step back in shock.

Wei Guogong was not angry, but said in a deep voice: "Don't blame Mama, I have something important to talk to my wife today." ”

The eviction order has been issued, Mama Lan had to stop and retreat in a daze, she dropped the brocade curtain, and then heard a "bang", the door was slammed shut, bringing up a strong wind, shaking the golden embroidered peony on the brocade curtain, as if it was also discolored.

Mama Lan trembled, pulled Bai Lu, who was also stunned, out of the main room, and sent away all the maids on standby in the corridor, but she stayed in front of the window, pricking up her ears to listen to the movement in the window.

Wei Guogong was obviously really angry, and his tone was not lowered-

"That orchid hairpin, what's going on!" Not an inquiry, but a questioning tone.

Mama Lan is lonely in her heart, orchid hairpin? What orchid hairpin?

Inside, Huang expressed the same doubts.

"Madame is still pretending to be garlic?" With a cold snort, even through the window screen, Mama Lan felt the solemn coldness in Wei Guogong's tone.

Inside the room, although the Huang family was suspicious, he did not look aggrieved, and seemed to ponder for a while before he vaguely thought of something, and asked tentatively: "Grandpa Guo refers to the concubine's gift to Chen'er?" ”

Outside the blue mama suddenly realized, followed by but full of brains, the orchid hairpin but Mrs. for the sake of He Da Niangzi and Xu, painstakingly found a piece of excellent mutton fat jade, entrusted Kyoto's most famous jewelry shop "Tiangongfang" chief craftsman to build, not to mention, just processing money is not less than a hundred taels of silver, Mrs. shot so generously, at that time the grandfather and the eldest princess were quite satisfied, how did this son mention this ballast? And it's still so angry.

Mama Lan unconsciously pricked up her ears high.

Wen Wei Guogong immediately asked: "Let me ask you, are Zhilanxuan's maids all chosen by you?" also said how much I loved Chen'er in the past, my heart and eyes were on her, why did you not know how to be a thief? Chen'er's hairpin was actually taken to the pawnshop by the maid and fell into the hands of outsiders! If it weren't for the return of the three princes to their original owners today, I wouldn't have known at all, did you deliberately hide it, or did you really neglect it to such an extent? Do you know what kind of disaster that will happen if that hairpin falls into the hands of someone with ill intentions and stirs up trouble! ”

As soon as Mama Lan heard this, her heart hung in her throat, and many questions suddenly sprung up in her mind, and before she could think about it, she immediately held up the grievances for the Huang family - at the beginning, the eldest lady was ten years old and lived alone, Mrs. Tai didn't care, thanks to Mrs. Niang's careful inside and out, the selected maids were all considered several times, and they reported their temperament to Mrs. Tai one by one, even if they were their own mothers, I am afraid that they could only do so, but in the end, they were separated by blood, in order not to make the eldest lady suspicious, Madame never asked the maid of Zhilanxuan about the words and deeds of the eldest lady in private, but only taught the eldest lady how to control the ...... How did it all become Madame's fault if there was such a mistake? The eldest lady is too, she lost such an important thing, and she kept it a secret from her, which shows that she still doesn't trust Mrs. wholeheartedly, but she is tired of Mrs. being responsible.

Mama Lan across the window was full of grievances, but the Huang family in the room did not say a word of abscurity, only stood on the edge of the kang with respectful eyes, first full of panic, and then blamed herself repeatedly, saying that she was too careless, no matter how many trivial things to do, she should not neglect the things in Chen'er's yard, and there was no grievance.

When he saw that Wei Guogong's expression eased slightly, he asked the three princes today about the beginning and end of "things returning to their original owners".

After listening to the details, he was naturally afraid, and even his eyes were red, and he blamed himself even more, so he had to go to the eldest princess of Yuanyingtang to ask for guilt.

Wei Guogong saw his wife's attitude, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared, and he remembered that the Huang family had been cautious over the years, treating Gao Tang and children, many deferential and gentle, in the early years, her mother was wary of her, and she never complained.

In the end, I still can't bear it.

Wei Guogong softened his tone: "That's it, thanks to the third highness who returned the hairpin, this matter can be regarded as dangerous...... Only you can be more cautious in the future. ”

Huang made another promise, although he did not swear by gambling curses, his expression was very serious.

"Chen'er's marriage must be out of the cabinet next year at the latest, some trivial matters in the house, you have to teach carefully, and the dowry must also be carefully prepared, except for the three children left by Wan Niang back then, add some more, sort out the list, and then discuss with your mother...... I've been busy with official business these days, so I've been resting in my study. ”

When he had finished speaking, he heard the door open and close.

Mama Lan was listening carefully, and went out of the house without defending Guogong, so frightened that she didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly walked to the end of the porch, and stepped into the ear room in a few steps, but she tripped over the threshold in a panic, and almost fell to the ground, and her ankle was sore, which made her gasp several times.

The probe shrank his brain, and saw that Wei Guogong was out of the main courtyard, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go to the bedroom to "enlighten" her wife, and limped to the door of the main hall, and saw Aunt Cui wearing a plain white silk dress, a light green silk skirt, and a slender waist Chu Chu came like a "sick Xi Shi", and his chest was suddenly blocked with a bad breath - this cheap hoof, all day long, brocade clothes, jade food, clothes to reach out for food and open mouth to raise, I don't see half a point of hard work, and often have a headache and a headache and stomach pain, with these subordinate means, let the grandfather of the country hold it in the palm of his hand and hurt, Usually in the morning and dusk, let her stand a cup of tea and stagger, as if she had been wronged, this time I heard that the grandfather of the country returned to the house, but followed by the door to block the wife.

Mama Lan's chest was stirred with fire, but she didn't feel that her feet hurt, and she stomped down the stone steps with sonorous steps, and the door god was generally blocked in front of Aunt Cui.

"Auntie is going to do something here! Isn't it still holding your heart in the morning and crying out that it hurts? ”

Aunt Cui was thinking about her thoughts all the way - at noon today, Sanniang came to her yard for the first time and stayed to accompany her to eat, which made her very happy, but she didn't want to hear her daughter talk about her thoughts, so it turned out that she asked Wei Guogong to inquire about the intention of the third prince...... Seeing Sanniang's shy, but shining eyes, Aunt Cui couldn't figure out her thoughts, she was shocked and scared, and persuaded Sanniang not to miss her life because of the thoughts in her heart...... The status of the third prince is so noble, it is impossible for the concubine to marry a concubine.

didn't want Sanniang to wait for her to finish speaking, so she turned cold, and left a sentence "I don't need to worry about my aunt, you don't want to help and just say it, don't waste your heart to make excuses", and walked away.

Aunt Cui regretted in her heart, and felt sorry for Sanniang in the end - if it wasn't for the fetus in her maid's womb, but from the concubine, with Sanniang's appearance, it was not impossible to be the third princess.

Therefore, despite being full of embarrassment and after several thoughts, Aunt Cui still decided to do her best for Sanniang.

She couldn't think of any way, she only pondered that Duke Wei had always doted on her, and Mrs. Guo was also very lenient, so she wanted to beg - if Sanniang is not qualified to be the concubine of the third prince, it is not impossible to be a side concubine.

But I didn't want to just enter Herui Garden, and I was blocked by Mama Lan.

"The concubine is a little bad in the morning, and she lost her manners in front of her wife, and now she is here to make amends with her wife." Aunt Cui gritted her teeth and mustered up her courage, wanting to bypass Mama Lan and continue inside.

Mama Lan sneered: "Looking at me, I'm really confused, I can't see through my aunt's idea, what is wrong with my wife, I haven't heard that Grandpa Guo returned home early today, and I rushed to flatter, not that I said Auntie, in the past, Duchess Guo was virtuous and generous, you also have to know a little shame, Madame doesn't care about you in general, but I can't see it." ”

"Mama...... The concubine is not ...... "If it was usual, Aunt Cui was ridiculed, and she didn't have the face to send it to the door to beg for disgust, but when she thought of Sanniang, she had to insist.

Mama Lan has a mouthful of saliva already brewing in her throat, and she is about to "puff" out of her waist with a fork......

The window of the second room was pushed open, and Huang showed a still pleasant face, looking at the two people facing each other at the bottom of the stairs, and said gently: "Mama, you are tired for a long time today, you should take advantage of the afternoon to rest for a while, so that your aunt can come in and say." ”

Mama Lan was very unwilling, and when she saw Aunt Cui entering, she finally spit on the ground, and stood in front of the window with a big grin.
