Chapter 10 The Situation in the House
Seeing Miss speak, Peach Blossom and Xinghua hurriedly responded together: "Yes, Miss can sleep at ease, we will guard and we will not make a mistake." ”
The fourth lady has been waiting for Peach Blossom's reply, this time she is really a little lacking in energy, seeing that the two of them should go, she didn't say much, just pointed to the iceberg close to the Xiangfei couch, and ordered: "I only squint for a while, and then I won't go to bed, you move this iceberg farther away, otherwise you can't stand the cold air when you fall asleep." ”
Peach Blossom looked at the Xiangfei couch, and then at Miss, and felt that it was still possible to sleep on the hot day, so she didn't persuade much, nodded and said, "Okay, but Miss still has to put a blanket to protect her stomach, otherwise she will suffer from the cold." So saying, he went to the bed and found a blanket to put on the young lady who was already asleep.
Miss Shi Si didn't say much, only closed her eyes, and said softly: "Okay, I know, you just move the ice basin away, I'm very tired this time, you light, I can't say that my mother will come to see me for a while, and she found out that I didn't stop ringing but wanted to nag." With that, she turned around and fell asleep.
Peach Blossom and Xinghua saw that Miss had slept properly, and they didn't dare to say anything, they made a look at each other, and they moved the ice basin a foot away lightly, in fact, Peach Blossom also wanted to move the ice basin farther away, but looking at the heat outside the house, they were still afraid that Miss would be heated, so it could only be such a distance, but they moved away from the position that was originally facing the top of Miss's head, and moved it to the back side position slightly.
Xinghua is not as careful as Peach Blossom, seeing that it is appropriate, she hurriedly pulled Peach Blossom's sleeve, pointed to the outside, and signaled Peach Blossom to leave quickly, after all, she cried just now, and she was embarrassed, and she had to clean up before Mrs. came, otherwise she would be reprimanded.
Seeing her like this, Peach Blossom also knew that she was uncomfortable, and seeing that she had calmed down after this experience, it seemed that this matter was a good thing for her! Speaking of which, although the apricot blossom is so strong, but in the end it is the little sister who grew up with her, and the peach blossom still feels sorry for her in her heart, so she smiled and nodded, and pulled the apricot blossom, which was already a little weak, to the outside.
But what they didn't see after the two of them left, what they thought was the young lady who had already slept, opened their eyes, but they didn't look at them, but looked at the carved couch, smiled, as if they were relaxed, and closed their eyes and fell asleep again.
But what none of the three masters and servants noticed was that there were always ears outside the house, and it was a person they didn't usually expect, who? In fact, it is an honest little girl who usually doesn't care about it, this grass looks stunned, if it weren't for her mother who is the yard kitchen mother of Tianjun, she would definitely not be happy for the fourth lady.
But because Cao'er Niang is a person in the old lady's house, Miss Four left her, anyway, a little girl who does trivial things, she is not delicate and does not hinder anything, but Miss Four is a perfect person, and she still looks at the quality of the girls around her very seriously, so she ignores this girl, and thinks that Cao'er is a bit of a shame for her, and she doesn't need to use her, so she usually pays little attention to her, which brings convenience to Cao'er.
Cao'er hid on the side and pretended to do things, and saw enough of the situation of several people in the bedroom, and had a number in her heart, and when she saw the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms walking out with each other, she hurriedly and quietly withdrew from the porch through the side door, and turned around and walked towards the old lady's Fuxi Hall.
The mother guarding the door didn't care when she saw the grass going out against the sun, but she knew that this girl was going to the old lady's courtyard to find her mother while the young lady was resting, this little thing, these people under them can still accommodate each other, and besides, this grass looked stunned in front of the young lady, but she always brought her some snacks in private, which was an accident, so she didn't stop the grass, only took care of the girl to come back early, and didn't let the young lady wake up and let her go if she couldn't find someone.
Cao'er got the permission of the janitor's mother, and thanked herself, if the grass at this time was seen by the fourth lady, it must be changed, where is this still the girl who is stunned and not outstanding, this is much more exquisite than the apricot blossom, but unfortunately the fourth lady is too confident and high, although she looks very gentle to the people below, but she is disdainful in her bones, which is destined to her failure to win over a person who is beneficial to her.
Although Cao'er is Lao Taijun's spy, Lao Taijun has not seen her in person, nor has she let her eldest girl and the housekeeper see this girl, but just let Cao'er Niang contact with Cao'er, and then Cao'er Niang has private contact with Shi Mama, who is in charge of news in her yard, which is also a good guarantee that Cao'er will not be investigated by others.
In fact, the old lady did not do this only for the four young ladies, the old lady in the courtyard from the young ladies to the masters was arranged in this way, but the position of the manual placement was different, which also allowed the old lady to firmly control the entire inner house of the Weiguo Mansion. As for the affairs of the men outside, the old lady knows a little bit about it, but the original old Wei Guogong is very guarded, and he can't let her, the woman in the inner house, interfere much, which is also a big hatred in the old lady's life.
Speaking of the old Taijun's only hatred is his eldest son, the current Wei Guogong has not been close to her since he was a child, and there are many things outside to hide from her, if she relies on her identity to press, he immediately used the old Wei Guogong's testament to push, which made her itch teeth, so the old Taijun simply gave up the eldest son early, chose the obedient second son, and planned to let the grandson of the second son inherit the Guogong Mansion.
Of course, Lao Taijun's plan would not have been possible under normal circumstances, but the "Hu pattern" that occurred in the first month of the thirteenth year of Hongyuan made her iron heart to let her second son's decision to inherit the Guogong Mansion also see the hope that this idea could be realized.
Although the old lady always thinks of the eldest son who went to the town from the house, there is a little remorse in her heart, but she turns her head and sees the second son who flatters her filial piety and obedience in front of her every day, and her shame towards the eldest son dissipates cleanly, who let the eldest son be taken by her mother-in-law to support him as soon as he was born, and then he has been brought by the old man to cultivate, and has not lived by her side for a day, although the eldest son is also respectful to her, but he is not close to himself at all, where can there be a second son who has been raised by her side obediently.
Because of this kind of reason, the old lady doesn't attach much importance to the people in the eldest son's house, if it weren't for the balance of all the forces in the house, she wouldn't value the current eldest daughter-in-law and the daughter she gave birth to, she really can't look down on a concubine! If it weren't for the purpose of weakening the eldest son's house, she would really not have succeeded the daughter-in-law of the eldest son, and let her be the duchess of the Weiguo Mansion with a concubine.
For Shi Huixin and her own brother Shi Tao, the old lady didn't pay attention to it directly, you must know that these two people are simply chicken ribs in her opinion, there is no threat, with the involvement of the Li family in the "Hu pattern", the old Taijun feels that the eldest grandson is destined to be unable to be the prince of the Weiguo Mansion, so if there is someone in the mansion who is not worthy of such careful treatment by the old lady, it will be Shi Huixin, the second eldest daughter, Miss Shi Er.
Therefore, Shi Huixin's yard is only a pseudo-eyeliner arranged casually, and the old lady has not clearly arranged anything for her, so naturally no one has explicitly mentioned the number, which makes the number of children able to be won over by the peach blossoms in front of the fourth lady.
However, although Shi Tao, the elder brother of Miss Shi Er, is not in the eyes of the old lady, but in terms of what she is planning in her heart, she is also concerned about this eldest grandson, but the old lady will not let him get out of his control, and naturally the eldest grandson also has to be placed by his side, which is also the reason why Shi Tao's yard is like a honeycomb, who will not fight in the future? A few masters in the house who have ideas want this prince to give way! When necessary, it is estimated that it is possible to directly ask for Shi Tao's life.
It is precisely because of these reasons that after Shi Tao experienced several poisonings, Shi Huixin was deeply worried, first, she was worried about the safety of this only brother who was unconditionally good to her, and the relatives who could put it in her heart in this mansion were this brother and the father who was far away in the world.
Her father's current defense Gong Shi Huixin is not worried, you must know that he is a general, although the national border is not yet stable, but no one is engaged in large-scale battles, with her father's identity, there is no need to go to the battlefield in person, and there is naturally no need to worry about safety, unless his father wants to rebel, it is not a direct problem.
Second, in addition to her sincere concern for her brother, she also took into account her own current situation, you must know that she has no status in this mansion, but fortunately, some people who do not know the situation still give Shi Tao some face, which makes Shi Huixin still able to maintain in this cold Guogong Mansion.
If she loses the protection of Shi Tao's own brother, Shi Huixin really can't think about it, although her father is here, the master and the subordinates in the house are somewhat worried about killing her, but after all, far water can't quench her thirst! So her brother's well-being is real for her. If her brother is killed, it is estimated that she will be the next to die, you must know that in the deep mansion of this ancient high-ranking family, people like her, who have no support from the outside and no support from the inside, will quietly disappear, and no one will directly ask.
In fact, these are really not Shi Huixin's thoughts, because of the "Hu pattern", for general reasons, several important masters in the Weiguo Mansion, although they did not want to protect themselves and harm the two children, but they also wanted to exile Shi Huixin and Shi Tao for a long time, but fortunately, the Weiguo Gong's power finally turned the tide, which was able to protect the former Weiguo Duchess Li and their eldest sons Shi Tao and Shi Huixin.
These causes and consequences, Shi Huixin is still unknown, but it does not prevent her from guessing something unusual, so she has been on guard, thinking of a way out, not only for herself but also for her brother, and for the sake of a few loyal people around her who have been accompanying her all the way up.
Naturally, Shi Huixin also guessed that her brother and grandma knew some secrets that she didn't know, but in order to protect her, she didn't tell her a lot of things, which was a headache for her, and she felt that if she could find some answers from her grandma and her brother, things would be much easier, but unfortunately she couldn't do it as she wished.
