63. Persuasion
When Huilan woke up from a nap, she learned two news. First, Gao Pinghou and his wife brought their daughter and brother-in-law to make amends and sent a number of gifts. It is said that she was going to visit the victims, but the old lady stopped her, and only sent all the gifts they sent to Huilan.
Huilan read the gift list and said that she was very satisfied, the mental damage fee was received, and the victim was comforted. If you see the culprit in the future, you should be able to restrain one or two, and you won't directly copy the knife and stab you. Therefore, Huilan is not soft at all in collecting things, and the compensation should not be a fool.
However, the Wang family had bad intentions towards her, and Huilan told Liu Ya to keep these things alone. The things in the entrance will be talked about later, other ornaments and jewelry, and I will return it to him when the Wang family has something, and it will save her expenses.
There was also a not very pleasant thing, the three brothers returned with honors and could not come to Huilan's room in person to show their merits. was directly taken to the main hall by the guards sent by the old lady, and without saying a word, he fell to the ground and beat the five army sticks. The three brothers who beat couldn't get up, otherwise it is estimated that Huilan would not have had a chance to sleep so beautifully, and she was woken up by San Lang's big mouth.
Hui Lan was staggered, it was still halved, and it was so miserable. If this hadn't been halved or doubled, Hui Lan couldn't help but shudder. At this moment, she was extremely glad that she was a girl, and the most serious thing was to beat the board. Even if your hands are beaten into pig's trotters, they are much stronger than being beaten for a while.
The eldest lady, Mrs. Li, and the eldest lady are busy taking care of the three who are currently half paralyzed. The four ladies and the fifth ladies obediently locked up in the room to accept punishment and write there. The seventh lady was detained by the old lady and was not allowed to come out. So Hui Lan was temporarily clean here, she didn't feel cold at all, and obediently tried not to attract attention in the house.
Before Huilan could read a few pages of the book, an eldest lady came to see her. Hui Lan happily left the book and looked forward to it.
The eldest lady came to deliver a letter to her, except for her grandfather, who did not reply, and the other two gave a reply.
"Big sister, sit down, just send someone to send it, why do you still work and you come here in person." Hui Lan took the letter and put it aside with a smile.
The eldest lady sat beside Huilan with a smile, "I was about to come to see you, so I brought a letter by the way." ”
Qingguo served tea and snacks, and withdrew with the maids in the house, so that the sisters could talk freely.
The eldest lady smiled and looked at the half-human-high camphor wood boxes that were piled up in the room, "Your Majesty Longen, the Gaoping Marquis Mansion is also full of sincerity!" ”
Hui Lan smiled and nodded, "What my sister said is that Your Majesty is fair and benevolent, and Gaoping Hou Zhongjun is generous. ”
The eldest lady smiled and said nothing.
If it weren't for the emperor's deviation, he might not have been able to get so many good things. Something is second most important to the attitude. It doesn't matter if the emperor looks at the face of the Guogong Mansion or the face of the former Xiangcheng Bo. It seems that he still hasn't pulled the bias for the sake of favoring the concubine, which is a good phenomenon.
Since the Wang family aims to replace the Gu family, the two sides have basically torn their faces. When the Gu family leader was outside, he could basically only defend passively. In this case, the emperor's attitude is very important.
Therefore, the old lady sent the news to the sky for the first time, first, to test the emperor's attitude; The second is to look at the behavior of the favorite concubine, after all, the power of the pillow wind can never be underestimated.
The result of such a treatment is either that the emperor is not disgusted with the Gu family, and still has the heart to defend it; Or add one more, Concubine Xian is not a stupid person, she knows the plans of the Gaoping Marquis Mansion, protects her niece and actively reconciles with the Zhenguo Mansion.
The specific details, Hui Lan has no way of knowing, so she can only rely on the results to extrapolate. And the eldest lady obviously knows more than her, but I don't know if she is willing to tell her.
The eldest lady took the tea and skimmed the foam, without meaning to speak.
Huilan sat up obediently and said solemnly: "The eldest sister told me good words last night, and my sister benefited a lot. Regarding the follow-up to yesterday's incident, the Wang family and the Wang sisters also want you to solve your sister's doubts. You know, I'm a careless person, and I barely cared about anything out there. Now a man sits at home, and evil comes from heaven. No matter how ignorant the little sister is, she has to figure it out, after all, the heart of defense is indispensable. ”
The eldest lady turned her head to look at Huilan, her eyes unpredictable. After a while, she put down the teacup and said quietly, "I think you will never have to ask about these things." ”
Hearing the melancholy in her words, Hui Lan's heart was slightly sour, "After all, people can't be children forever, and the most responsible person for themselves is always themselves." My sister is only a few years older than us, so there is no need to protect us as children. A family must be guarded by all family members, and the burden cannot be placed on just one person. They are all brothers and sisters in the family, you have the heart to protect your younger siblings, and of course your younger siblings also want to protect you. ”
Hui Lan knew that the eldest lady was smart and capable, and she cared more about her family and valued her younger siblings, but she didn't want the eldest lady to push herself too hard. It's not a good thing that people are too smart, and they have too much responsibility.
Seeing that her face was complicated, moved and thoughtful, Huilan interrupted, "And our daughter's family should be more noble than a stinky man, and they should contribute to something." Are the two cousins and Rokuro in the family really so unproductive, bent on hiding under their sister's skirt to shelter from the wind and rain? ”
The eldest lady snorted and laughed, "Ah Hui is poor, make fun of the second brother like this, beware of them being annoyed." ”
Huilan grinned, "Big sister can help me keep it secret, I'm not afraid of the second cousin, I can't provoke the mouth of the third cousin, and I can't beat Liulang." The eldest sister also knows the mental abilities of the three of them, so she should let go of her hands, and the same is true for the sisters. If you don't take advantage of the fact that you are now stumbling under the noses of your elders, is it possible that you want us to wrestle only when we are alone in the future? Then there will be no one to clean up the mess for us, maybe we won't be able to get up if we fall! ”
Speaking of the back, Hui Lan has a positive color on her face. It can be seen from yesterday's emergency that the four ladies and the five ladies all lack experience. Of course, this is affected by the negligence of the eldest lady and the concerns of the five ladies, but it is also related to the eldest lady's practice of doing everything. The old lady reminded vaguely, but apparently the eldest lady had not yet made a decision.
The eldest lady was thoughtful, and sighed for a long time, "It was my mistake, no matter how capable I am, I can still protect you for the rest of your life." The second brother is Lang Jun, they should go through the wind and rain and go on their own, even if I care, I can't interfere much. You sisters should also have their own lives, and I shouldn't hinder your growth in the name of care. This is not love, this is harming you again, I am very wrong. In the end, the eldest lady burst into tears and was so excited that she wanted to stretch out her hand and slap herself.
Hui Lan hurriedly held her mother's hand, "Big sister, don't blame yourself too much, you are concerned about it." If it weren't for the fact that she was thinking about a few of us, why would the big sister bother with this god. "The so-called obstacle does not see Mount Tai, or smart people are the most likely to fall into the obstacle.
The eldest lady was silent, and Huilan said a lot of comforting words, and finally persuaded the person.
The eldest lady slowly wiped her face with a handkerchief, and felt a lot, "Ah Hui is really smart, and she has really grown up." ”
Hui Lan said modestly, "My sister is too awarded, I'm just a bystander, how can I be as powerful as you say." ”
The eldest lady smiled and couldn't help but rub Huilan's head. She doesn't have to go out, she doesn't comb her hair when she takes a nap, and the fluffy ones are indeed suitable for rubbing.
Huilan almost blew up, except for the second and fourth lady of San Lang, who liked to rub her head when she first came, everyone else didn't have this problem, not to mention that she was so old now.
The eldest lady laughed and hugged the fried Huilan in her arms and comforted her for a long time, Huilan was not really angry, she was also very happy to see that the eldest lady was in a good mood.
