Chapter 162: The Covenant of Keeping the Year

Seeing that the second lady is becoming more radiant day by day, but the old lady of Dongyuan is becoming more and more haggard day by day,

Now there are rumors in Hengfu that the child in the belly of Second Mrs. Qi has beaten the old lady.

"It's ridiculous! Where did this rumor come from? ”

The second lady's belly grew bigger and bigger, and her body became much rounder.

"Where else can it be, naturally it is a person who can't look down on our good people....."

Firecrackers replied.

"I saw that the new aunt in the West Garden has been fighting with the people in the house recently."

Ruyu brought pastries: "Just in Wanhuayuan, I have met her many times." ’

"Okay, the poisonous woman really can't recruit any good dogs, and she can't compare to Aunt Xin's toughness,

Habitual use of some inferior means! ”

The second lady was obviously angry, and refused to stop scolding for a while.

"That's it, madam, the old lady won't care about these rumors, and we don't have to pay attention to them.

If you move the fetal gas, you will be in the hands of the enemy....."

Firecrackers caressed the second lady and handed her flower tea,

"Now even if it's my own food, I'll check it again myself."

"Are you being overly cautious?"

The second lady picked up the teacup and tasted it, the taste was not bad.

"Madame has been looking forward to it for all these years, but now she is only cautious for more than half a year, what's the matter?"

Firecrackers stood up and looked out: "Where did Grandma Guo go again?" ”

"Something happened to her family recently, and I allowed her to come home for two hours a day."

"Looking at Grandma Guo's outfit full of patches, it must be very difficult at home, right?"

"Yes, a husband who is paralyzed in bed in the family, and only one of his daughters has gone before he is ten years old.

A few years later, her brother died of illness, and she passed on her nephew, but the child was stubborn by nature, and spent his days mingling with the scoundrels in the market.

It doesn't make people feel at ease at all, and in the past few days, I heard that the rebel has provoked the yamen, and now he is being interrogated. ”

"It's really a miserable person."

The firecrackers muttered to themselves, but saw that Grandma Guo had returned in a hurry,

Her face looked very tired, she smiled flatteringly at the second lady, and said:

"Madam, the slave is back, and today is half an hour ahead of schedule."

"How's your nephew doing?"

The second lady picked a grape and put it in her mouth.

She's been a big fan of sour lately.

"Hmm.... Still like that.... Not to mention the mourning star, the slave maid went to decoct the medicine for the lady. ”

Grandma Guo didn't seem to want to say more, so she ran out with her hands upside down.

"Ruyu is here to help me....."

She suddenly stopped and called out at the door.

"I'm busy, the nurse calls firecrackers to help you....."

Ruyu was changing the futon for the second lady, and she couldn't get out of it for a while.

"Well, I can't call her, but I'd better make my own people better."

Granny Guo glanced at the firecrackers and hurried towards the kitchen.

"What does she mean by that?"

The firecrackers were made by her unclear, although this Guo Granny entered the house not long ago,

I haven't spoken a few words to her, and I don't remember when I offended her?

"Grandma Guo is straightforward and fast-talking, don't you mind...."

Ruyu on the side hurriedly explained.

"It's still hard to say this, right?"

Firecracker frowned.

"She saw that you were always not in South Park, and she had some relationship with you.

You are the big girl of South Park, how dare she call you? ”

The second lady smiled awkwardly, trying to dispel her doubts.

But who is the firecracker, how can they be fooled by them in a few words?

Soon, I learned from Lihua's mouth that Guo Niangniang met her several times and went to the East Garden.

accompanied the old lady to hang out in the house, talking and laughing very intimately, and the old lady did not wait to see the second lady in the past.

It is known from top to bottom in Qifu, and over time, Guo Nanniang is becoming more and more reluctant to see firecrackers.

No matter what the second lady said, it was useless, and she often encouraged the second lady to beware of firecrackers.

Pear Blossom can't look past it, she has spoken for firecrackers a few times, and now she is also served by Guo Niangniang every day with white eyes.

Pick on her at every turn and count her down.

"This old guy is really, relying on himself to watch the second lady grow up, and he doubts this all day long,

Suspicious of that, I read to the second lady every day, the entire South Park and even the Hengfu are not credible, only she, the nurse, has no two hearts. ”

"Alas! Forget it, she is also for the good of the second lady after all, we just have to do our own thing,

Anyway, she didn't stay in Hengfu for a long time, and when the time came, she naturally had to go back to Qifu, I didn't bother to bother with her! ”

The firecracker flicked the ash on her skirt, no matter how Grandma Guo was suspicious of her,

She has to go to the East Garden these days, and the old lady's health has not improved, and she must always stay by her side.

Presumably, the second lady will also understand, and she will not be aroused by Grandma Guo's words.

Another two months have passed, and the West Garden has been very quiet recently, except for some rumors that spread a few days ago.

The rest of the time is as quiet as the cold palace in the backyard of the palace.

Since the loss of Aunt Xin, the eldest lady has become more and more disinclined to go out, and locks herself in Zhaoxi Pavilion all day long.

Sometimes when the prime minister goes, he will also eat behind closed doors, and the subordinates of the West Garden are even more frightened all day long, although they often do so in private

Talking about whether the eldest lady is suffering from any terminal illness to be like this, but on the surface, she still serves in a regular manner, and she doesn't dare to show half curiosity.

The moon has entered winter, the heavy snow covers everything in the house, the cold wind is grinning, and people can't open their eyes every time they blow.

The old lady is still bedridden, and seems to have been ill for a long time, and it is time to leave the house.

Because of this, the old lady was sick, she was not at ease, and Nanyuan was also pregnant.

I'm afraid I can't cope with the firecrackers.

Seeing that An Ning was like this to the old lady, Firecrackers was also very emotional, presumably they could only compare their hearts with their hearts.

will be exchanged for the true feelings of this tribulation.

Coming out of the East Garden, the firecrackers met Guo Niangniang in the garden and hurriedly passed by holding her belly.

"Granny Guo? Is this going out again? ”

Firecrackers followed her.

"What is she hiding in her stomach? Did she take something out of the house? ”

If it is cold today, although everyone is wearing a little thicker, Grandma Guo's figure is a little bloated.

The belly is a little bigger, which is not an eyesore, but it is strange that her expression is tight, and her hands are not restless holding her stomach.

From time to time, I look back and look left and right, and all this is a little weird in the eyes of firecrackers.

After she went back, she hinted to the second lady whether to give Guo Niangniang's jewelry and let her go out to sell it to supplement the family.

The second lady said that she had never given her anything, and told the firecrackers not to guess for no reason, Grandma Guo is not a person who likes to steal.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Firecracker didn't ask again.

Day after day, finally in the New Year, Pear Blossom Ruyu always asked her around the firecrackers,

When to go out of the house to buy New Year's goods, you have to buy a lot of small firecrackers back.

The second lady also followed them around, always coaxing her to go to the street to buy firecrackers and come back.

For a moment, she couldn't remember how many years she had spent in Hengfu.

In the past, during the Chinese New Year, South Park was not so festive and lively.

still thanks to the blessing of the second lady's big belly, and even the prime minister came over several times a few years ago.

It's a bit ironic to think about it, the East Garden is low-key, and the West Garden is even quieter.

If it weren't for the busy Nanyuan, the Prime Minister's Mansion really wouldn't have seen the slightest festive atmosphere.

"Alas, this year is going to keep the New Year, are you following the South Park or the East Garden?"

Rika came over again and deliberately begged for a beating.

"I won't follow anyone, go back to my own courtyard and guard ..... by myself"

A firecracker slammed into her head with a white eye.

"West Garden is different from the past, look at them lonely."

Ruyu and the three of them stood at the gate of the South Garden, looking at the West Garden.

"That's nature, now our lady is deeply favored, even the sick old lady remembers,

I often send some supplements over, but the poor lady has no one to care about, like an abandoned woman......"

"Shh Firecrackers hurriedly covered Pear Blossom's mouth.

"Be quiet, don't get yourself in trouble....."

"Can she still eat me?"

Rika pursed her lips aggrievedly.

"It's not that you haven't seen the poison of Xiyuan's methods, don't think that you won't be targeted if you're a maid, be careful to get into trouble if you don't choose what to say."

"This is at the entrance of the South Park.....

"Don't say it's at the gate of South Park, even if it's next to your pillow, be careful!"

"Oh..... Well......"

When Rika heard this, she looked at the firecracker with a serious face, not as if she was joking, and then shrugged her shoulders a little timidly.

But she underestimated the eldest lady in the past, if she hadn't seen her methods again and again, she couldn't have imagined that a weak woman would be as vicious as her heart, or the second lady of her family.

Although he is a little short-tempered, he often has to be unforgiving, but he never harms others.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the firecrackers followed everyone busy, and ignored the disgusted eyes that Grandma Guo frequently cast at her,

On such a festive day, she will never sweep away everyone's luck.

The old lady also wore a gorgeous dress, and came out to follow everyone to be happy, the eldest lady was dressed in plain clothes, and her face was pale,

But it is like the first recovery from a serious illness.

During the reunion dinner, Aunt Mo in the West Garden has been following the eldest lady.

For some reason, Firecracker felt that she was more like spying on the eldest lady than serving.

The eldest lady also paid little attention to her, and often ignored her words.

This master and servant made her a little interested.

It seems that the eldest lady doesn't like this new aunt very much, didn't she say that she was transferred from Chengfu?

It should be very familiar, huh? How can it be so cold?

And that Aunt Mo was not very pleasing, with a stiff face like the eldest lady,

doesn't smile, can't even say a word of flattery, where is there a little bit of a subordinate look?

The master didn't please here, but he still said a few words to the subordinates,

This aunt's temperament is really strange......

The firecrackers secretly observed for a while, and saw that the old lady was unwell and had gotten up to go back.

Xiyuan also left the banquet, leaving only the second lady and the prime minister still glued together.

promised Si Yanjin to keep the New Year with him, and the firecrackers instructed Ruyu to go to his small courtyard.
