Chapter 16: Mrs. Aunt's Intentions

Huihui hadn't heard these allusions from Mama, she would have heard it, and felt that what happened to her aunt this time might be something happened to the Hou Mansion in Ningxi, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a hurry, so she nodded and said: "In this way, it may be that something happened to the Hou Mansion, otherwise my aunt wouldn't be in such a hurry." ”

Mama Li knew the matter, so she nodded and said: "Well, what you said is right, after receiving the letter from Grandpa Guo, your second uncle set out to investigate the matter, and really let him know a little bit of the inside story, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a hurry to rush back." ”

When Huihui heard this, she hurriedly pricked up her ears and urged, "What's the matter?" Mama talk about it quickly, and if we know the root cause earlier, we can also think of ways to deal with it. She was really afraid that these people would hit her with ideas, and she was anxious to find out what was going on.

Mama Li naturally knew what Miss was anxious about, and she didn't feel a little funny, in the end, it was a child, her temperament still couldn't be stabilized, where could the marriage be decided so simply, with Grandpa Guo standing there, the marriage between Miss and the eldest young master was not something that others could control casually, but it was also necessary to prevent someone from using some unpopular means, and even Grandpa Guo couldn't stop it.

Thinking about it like this, Mama Li also became serious, and they had to pay attention to it first, so they nodded and said: "Miss is right, we have to deal with it carefully, this aunt is a famous smiling tiger, but whatever she wants to do, most of them will be able to do it, in case she says that she moves the old lady, but it will be annoying." ”

Huihui might as well be so capable of her aunt, who rarely meets, if she says that she moved the old lady to agree to marry her cousin, it would be really bad, you must know that this ancient is the most important filial piety, if the old lady presses her father with her identity, for the sake of filial piety, her father may have to respond, this is from the fact that they are now unreasonably grounded in the small courtyard by the old lady, and her father failed to say that the old lady let her out is a proof.

In this way, the situation is really not as good as Mama said, the old lady can't be a force to stop her aunt, but will become a resistance to her aunt, which is not good! Then he nodded and said, "Mama is right, we have to be on guard, my aunt has decided to set me in order to get my father's full help, so we have to be careful." ”

Mama Li also realized the current situation, nodded hurriedly: "What Miss said is that since you beat your mother, Grandpa Guo and Grandma have not kissed before, at that time in Beijing, what happened to Grandma's family, even if Grandpa Guo is a gang, he also sends others to go, he does not come to the door in person, and the meeting is only faint, and then Grandpa Guo went to the border city, and it is even more difficult to come and go, only in the house." ”

When Huihui heard this, she intuitively felt that the indifference between her father and her aunt might be rooted in her mother, but this was not the time to delve into this, so she only nodded and said: "If it is like what Mama said, it is estimated that something must have happened to her aunt's family, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry!" ”

"Yes, your second uncle inquired, some time ago the old lady of the Ningxi Hou Mansion seemed to bring her niece and granddaughter back to the mansion to be her granddaughter's companion, except for this, there is nothing else, I guess the problem is here, didn't this old lady think about marrying her granddaughter to the young master a few years ago, but unfortunately your aunt didn't let go, so she had to do it, this time the son brought the niece and granddaughter home, and eighty percent wanted to give the young master cousin a family affair again." Mama Li sighed.

Huihui also knows about this, and she is fortunate to see the granddaughter of the old lady, a delicate and weak beauty with a good name, called Mu Wanxi, she is different from the flamboyant beauty of the eldest sister in the family, and also different from the flamboyance of the fourth sister, it is a clean and pure beauty, the daughter of the standard scholarly family, gives people a sense of softness, but Huihui still thinks that she is a little too high, and her temperament is a little more sensitive, and she doesn't have much appetite.

Huihui thinks that the most regrettable thing about this beauty is that her life is a little bitter, her mother gave birth to her not long ago, although she has no mother, but she has a brother-in-law, she does not have this, this Mu Wanxi's father married the lady is not evil, but unfortunately she didn't pay much attention to her, otherwise how could she agree to raise the girl of the Mu family in Ningxi Hou Mansion for a long time, which is hindered by the reputation of the Mu girl.

Therefore, Huihui felt that Mama said that the old lady of Ningxi Hou Mansion was a little unclear or a little grounded, because she was reluctant to leave her daughter to leave her flesh and blood behind, it was not a reliable thing, these two families live in the capital, not far away, Mu Wanxi's father is a decent and old-fashioned literati, how can he treat his daughter badly, the family has its own rules, I think that the stepwife is not good to do something insulting, it is definitely not a problem to feed Da Mu Wanxi, and it is not a boy, It's just a big dowry.

Therefore, Huihui felt that the old lady was really kind enough to do bad things, so that Mu Wanxi was a little small because of her long-term pet fence temperament, and naturally slowly and slowly with her father, and the younger brothers born by the mother are not very close, if a woman does not have a maiden brother to support her on this day, the life of her husband's family will be difficult, Huihui really doesn't know if this old lady is confused, and the only granddaughter is now unrelated and reliable.

But these are not what Huihui can worry about now, she herself is still in dire straits, and she is not worried about others, after listening to her grandmother's words, she thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's the reason, it is estimated that the old lady wants to marry her cousin again, and her granddaughter will not be a nephew, anyway, the old lady wants to keep her grandson in her hands, and she doesn't want to find a granddaughter-in-law who favors her aunt." ”

Mama Li nodded with satisfaction when she saw that the young lady's analysis was reasonable, and praised her: "Miss is so big, these things are clear, it's so reasonable, your second uncle got some news, this time the old lady probably wants to use the young master's family affairs to make some articles, so that the aunt and aunt are suspicious, if she holds the grandchildren, she can break the situation of the aunt's family dominance in the house for many years." ”

Huihui also thinks that there must be such a reason, isn't there also a tripartite force in her own house, the old lady is using the containment between the two daughters-in-law of the second room and the big house to achieve her own control of the whole house, this old lady of the Hou Mansion has been holding back for so many years, and now she can turn over, how can she ignore it, this is the winning means of the ancient inner house battle, so she smiled and nodded, and said happily: "This old lady is estimated to be out of the way, with her own granddaughter by her side, and she took her niece and granddaughter as a backup, no wonder my aunt is in a hurry." ”

Mama Li echoed with amusement when she heard this: "Men are all good colors, this wooden girl is stunning enough, and now there is another girl, it is estimated that the color is also excellent, otherwise the old lady will not take it, these two beautiful girls are dangling in front of the young master every day, isn't it chaotic, it seems that the second son of the Hou Mansion in Ningxi is very promising, and there is a faint momentum that surpasses the young master, can the aunt not be in a hurry?" ”

This is true, my aunt only got a cousin and a child in her life, and she looked like an eyeball, thinking every day that he could inherit the Hou Mansion as soon as possible, how could she be willing to let her mother-in-law win over her son, and use beautiful women to attack, isn't this ruined, the son of a concubine in a family is not a good thing for my aunt, can you not be in a hurry?

In this way, it seems that this Hou Mansion is not firmly in the hands of his aunt, otherwise how could this second son have a chance to get ahead, it can be seen that this Ningxi Hou is not a stupid person, and he also knows that the heir is important, and he didn't let his aunt get involved in the affairs of this outside man's family, thinking of this Huihui and laughing, this Ningxi Hou Mansion is not very peaceful! No matter which girl marries in, she will face the embarrassment of two mothers-in-law, one is not good, or both are offended.

Thinking of this, Huihui remembered that she had said earlier that the safflower was hiding something, and as soon as Mama came back, she said something else mysteriously, and she didn't have time to tell these things, so she said: "Mama, we won't talk about this Ningxi Hou Mansion for the time being, after all, I will never marry in, I have something to tell you." ”

Mama Li didn't understand that she hadn't been gone for a day, why did the young lady have something to tell herself, and thought that something bad had happened, so she hurriedly asked, "But what grievances did you suffer, or did the eldest lady send someone to provoke again?" "This is the only reason she can think of for the things that can make Miss feel wronged.

Huihui looked at Mama in such a hurry, knowing that she was really protecting herself, so she smiled softly, waved her hand and said: "No, Mama is thinking about it, I stay in the yard every day, how can the eldest sister touch me, although the old lady didn't say that she wouldn't let the sisters come, but she definitely doesn't want the sisters to get close to me, the eldest sister is the best at speculating about the old lady's mind, how can she do it?" ”

Mama Li was right to think about this, she frowned unconsciously, looked at Huihui, and said directly: "Okay, Mama won't guess for herself, tell me, what is the matter, I want to see which one of the unsightly people came to our yard to consume while I was not at home." ”

Hearing Mama say this, Huihui is not surprised, after all, they have been together for more than ten years, what can they do not know Mama, they have not seen each other for most of the day, and they have something to say, but it is not because of outsiders, this is actually very easy to guess, since Mama has expected it, Huihui did not think much about it, and replied: "Actually, I can't say one thing, it should be said that there are two things, one is that in the morning Peach Blossom had a dispute with the number, as if Peach Blossom went to the eldest sister's yard again." ”

Before Huihui finished talking about the matter, Mama Li was already a little angry, squinted, and said very dissatisfiedly: "What is this called, I haven't been at home for a while, she can't bear it, and she actually went to the yard of the eldest lady in a bright way, it's just that she doesn't take the young lady in her eyes, it's really hateful!" ”

Huihui didn't care about these so-called awe, and said indifferently: "Don't be angry, I don't care about this, besides, what kind of person this peach blossom is, don't we already know it, always secretly guarded, it's better to let her show her feet, and solve her as soon as possible, otherwise it will become a big trouble sooner or later." ”
