Chapter 159: This Disease Is Healed
"It seems that my sister has learned a lot of rules recently."
Murong Ji showed just the right amount of astonishment, looked at the old lady and said, "What about the second aunt?" Why don't you see the second aunt? β
Old Madam Murong didn't know how to answer, and set her eyes on Murong Xue.
Murong Xue took a deep breath, "Mother is sick and coughing badly, it is inconvenient to come to see her, please forgive the princess." β
"It's really interesting." Murong Xi smiled and said, "The last time I saw the second aunt, she said that her sister was sick. Now that I see my sister, my second aunt is sick again. This disease really needs to be cured! β
Murong Xue: "......"
Today's please An also saw the second lady, who was good-looking and could kill a cow on the spot, of course the old lady knew that it was just an excuse.
Then he interjected with haha: "Ji'er has been intimate with Xue'er since she was a child, don't the other brothers and sisters remember?" β
She beckoned to a man, "This is your fourth cousin, who hugged you when he was a child, do you have any impression?" β
Murong Ji raised her eyebrows, looked at the so-called fourth cousin, thought for a long time to make sure that she didn't have any impression, and said bluntly: "Grandmother also said that when she was a child, she really doesn't remember." β
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember, your fourth cousin is also going to participate in the Spring Festival this year, I heard that the examiner of the Spring Festival was selected by the prince?"
The old lady directed her conversation to the things that were on her mind.
Murong Ji's arrival today really gave her a big surprise.
From the moment he heard the news, the first thing he did was not to go out to greet Murong Xi, but to arrange for someone to gather all the juniors and come to Wutong Garden to show his face in front of Murong Xi.
Especially a few girls who are about to say goodbye, they want to use Murong Xi's way to find a few good people.
Of course, the most important thing is Murong Hao, who is about to take the exam.
It may be true that there is a bit of real talent, but as long as there is a word from the regent, it can stand out from the many scholars.
This kind of shortcut, the old lady is very willing to take.
Murong Xi didn't want to bother with it.
She pretended not to understand the old lady's words, and said with a smile: "Grandmother's news is really well-informed, and grandmother knows so thoroughly what her grandmother doesn't know." β
The old lady didn't hear her sarcasm, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that Ji'er doesn't know, so the old man said that if he knows, he will definitely inform you in advance of the matters to be paid attention to in the examination room of the fourth cousin." β
"Well, I'll ask when I go back, and then let the prince come to the house in person to inform the fourth cousin?" Murong smiled and nodded.
The rejection in the words was obvious enough, even if the old lady still wanted to pretend to be confused, there was no way out.
With a somewhat embarrassed face, the old lady picked up the teacup and looked away.
The third lady was the most frightened of Murong Xi's words.
Murong Hao is in his third room, so let the regent personally come to the door to guide him?
Killing him was pretty much the same.
The third lady hurriedly glanced at several juniors and asked them to go out quickly.
He raised his handkerchief and smiled: "The princess has been sitting for so long, why hasn't she even served a pastry?" Green Branch, go get some pastries. β
At this moment, Murong Xi suddenly beckoned and said to a woman who was walking out of the room, "Huh? This is Sister Yue'er, right? β
Murong Yue was short and inconspicuous in the crowd.
But Murong Xi still recognized her, and everyone present was quite surprised.
Especially the old lady.
The joy that had just retired spread to the corners of his eyes again, and he ordered the others to leave, leaving only Murong Yue.
"Yes, she is Yue'er, and she is about to die, so you still remember her. Yue'er, come and see your cousin. β
Seeing that the old lady was smiling from ear to ear, the third lady didn't say anything.
Murong Yue is the concubine of the second room, and there is no benefit in setting up a family affair in the third room.
However, Murong Hao's topic was put on hold, and she didn't bother to pay attention to the affairs of the other rooms.
Murong Xi suddenly became enthusiastic, got up and took Murong Yue's hand and said, "The main reason why I came today is actually because of Sister Yue'er. β
Murong Yue was used to being suppressed by the second lady and Murong Xue on weekdays, and she had an inferiority complex in her bones, and she never dared to face Murong Xue squarely.
Hearing that it was for her, the little girl blinked in astonishment.
Murong Ji looked back and asked the old lady, "Grandmother also said that Yue'er will be in time." Why didn't I receive the post? I'm still thinking about being a praiser for Sister Yue'er! β
"And the ceremony?" The old lady was stunned on the spot.
The next most important thing in Murong Mansion is not her birthday?
"It's still early, it's still early, it depends on how your second aunt prepares-" The old lady didn't expect Murong Xi to make such a fuss, and she couldn't think of perfect wording for a while.
On the other hand, there is still some anger in my heart.
She remembered that she was a concubine, but she didn't say a word about her 60th birthday banquet.
The old lady didn't have a calm face, and she didn't look at her with a smile, but said: "I haven't been back to the house for a long time, and I don't know the rules of the house." The girls who came out of the concubine are all simple and formalβ"
"Oh?" Murong Xi looked at the old lady in shock, "But how do I remember that the eldest sister had a courtesy back then, although I was still young at that timeβ"
"Yes, yes?" The old lady's expression began to panic, her fingers unconsciously clenched the teacup in her hand, and her eyes dodged, "How many years have your eldest sister been married, why doesn't grandmother remember that there was a ceremony at that time?" β
The old lady stiffened her face and forced a smile, "Speaking of your eldest sister, maybe she will return to Beijing next month." At that time, you will go back to the house more often and walk around, and talk to your big sister about yourself. β
Murong Xi snorted, and under the old lady's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, she asked what the old lady wanted to hear the most.
"Why did the big sister suddenly return to Beijing?"
"Isn't this my mother's 60th birthday next month?" The Third Lady knew it was time for her to play.
Murong Xi repeated meaningfully, "Grandmother's sixtieth birthday? Yue'er's sister's gift is just that, why haven't I received my grandmother's birthday invitation? β
The old lady suddenly couldn't pretend anymore, and said coldly: "Sister-in-law didn't receive the post? β
The post has been posted a long time ago.
After all, the 60th birthday is a big event.
After the second child was excluded, holding this birthday banquet was a good time to regain people's hearts.
The invitation was handled by the second lady, and the old lady never thought that the second lady would deliberately leave Murong Xi's post so small.
In a few breaths, the old lady had sorted out all the ins and outs of the matter.
Perhaps Murong Xi's visit to the door today was not because of Murong Yue, but because of the invitation to test her.
She hadn't seen the name yet, and stupidly guided Murong Xi to ask about her birthday.
The old lady couldn't regret it, and said angrily: "Go and invite the second lady to me!" If you're sick, as long as you still have a breath, you can carry it for me! β
