33 Tongue Trick (1)
Several masters of the Hou Mansion are going to Xishan for autumn hunting in the near future, and Sang Zhuyue heard the news from Zhou Baolu that night.
Under the guise of visiting her cousin, Zhou Baolu came in and happily told the news, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that my cousin can't go with us." ”
Sang Xuanyue said unhurriedly, "The Hou Mansion and I are just cousins who are cornering, and we can enter the courtyard of this family because of my cousin's light, but I don't dare to hope that I can go to Xishan with my cousin." ”
Who are the people who can go to Xishan? At the very least, it has to be the family of the third-rank official.
Zhou Baolu is not justified in following her, why should she follow?
Is she thick-skinned?
No!
She's going to have a face!
Sang Xuanyue couldn't have said this more politely, but Zhou Baolu didn't know what to think, and suddenly her expression was depressed, and people were also annoyed.
She spoke again, but asked about something else, "I heard that my cousin saw Mrs. Gu and eldest brother in Heyantang today?" ”
Sang Yue's heart tightened, I don't know why she mentioned this, but she tried to make a casual appearance on her face. He bowed his head lightly and said, "I saw it, but Mrs. Gu was unwell, so she left first not long after." I remembered that I had forgotten to take my medicine after breakfast, and I went back to the Rose Garden early. ”
This information was exactly the same as what Zhou Baolu heard from the brocade, and she immediately relieved her mind a little. But looking at her cousin's delicate face, which was full of sickness, became more and more beautiful, Zhou Baolu was still very vigilant in her heart.
She pretended to be curious and asked, "Mrs. Gu didn't embarrass you, did she?" ”
"No, Mrs. Gu is very kind and gave me a meeting gift." As he spoke, he showed the white jade translucent bracelet on his wrist.
Zhou Baolu pursed her lips invisibly, feeling that there was a reason why Mrs. Gu was not welcomed. I think that the meeting gift given to her by my aunt was just a bracelet with a similar head. But she is Mrs. Gu's niece and daughter-in-law, what does Sang Xuanyue have to do with Mrs. Gu? As a result, Mrs. Gu did not distinguish between relatives and distances, and the meeting gift to Sang Twisting Moon was so valuable, how did Zhou Baolu swallow this breath?
Zhou Baolu said, "We are sisters, so I have a heartfelt conversation with you." Forget it this time, the next time you see Mrs. Gu, you try to stay away from her. Our aunt and wife have no one in her eyes, dislike the poor and love the rich, and she is also short-tempered and moody. It's me, and I usually respect her for three points, and if I can't go to her, I won't go to her, so as not to say something inappropriate and be blocked back by her old man. She is an elder, relying on righteousness, just to say a few words to me, it is to lose my face, I can only grit my teeth and endure it? ”
asked another question casually, "Big brother didn't scare you, did he?" The eldest brother is actually okay, he is gentle and amiable in front of his family, but in front of outsiders, it is inevitable that he will be too cold and majestic. If the eldest brother scares you today, don't take it to heart, the eldest brother is just habitually keeping a straight face, and he has no malicious intentions. However, the eldest brother doesn't like the female dependents to be close, and if you meet him again in the future, it is best to stay away. ”
Sang Xuanyue lowered her head and nodded, her fingers stirring a strand of hair, as if she was a little uneasy.
In Zhou Baolu's opinion, this is that she was frightened and afraid of Wu Anhou to the core.
This made Zhou Baolu sincerely relieved.
It's good to be afraid.
In the future, when I see the eldest brother, it is better to always hang my head and avoid it.
Otherwise, not only would she have to worry that her cousin would have a high heart, but she was also afraid that when her eldest brother saw her, he would make the face of the whole house lose its color, and then move other thoughts, which would be very bad.
After all, the eldest brother is going to be lonely for the rest of his life, and if he has another woman, it is inevitable that he will not have other children. At that time, how will her Rong'an inherit the Marquis of Wu'an?
However, it's not appropriate to leave my cousin in the house all the time.
After all, there is also a Shen Tinglan in the house.
In his previous life, when Shen Tinglan married his cousin, he also said that he fell in love with his cousin at first sight......
Can't think about it anymore.
Zhou Baolu took a deep breath, and mentioned the matter of inviting a doctor from Rose Garden today, and asked with concern, "What did Doctor Wu say?" You have been taking the prescription he prescribed before, and it should have worked, why did you faint again today? ”
Sang Xuanyue only said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I've been squashing for a long time, and I got up too violently all of a sudden, and people can't stand it." It was Su Xin that they made too much fuss, and they also alarmed the old lady and cousin for this matter, which really made me uneasy. ”
Zhou Baolu made a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good." But today's incident, in the final analysis, is that you are not well. I think so, you won't go out and walk around for the next few days, just keep it in the yard. It's getting colder and colder, and if you blow the wind again and fall ill, it will be more than worth the loss. Wait for me to come back from Xishan, and then I will find a famous doctor for you to diagnose your pulse, and you will be in the Rose Garden these days. ”
Sang Xuanyue said "don't bother", but Zhou Baolu stubbornly made a decision.
She made up her mind that she was going to marry Sang Xuanyue after returning from Xishan. She can't stay in this mansion, otherwise she may not be able to find out how many rights and wrongs will happen. Find her a family to marry, it is best to seek greater benefits for the Zhou family and transfer her father to the capital......
It's too late, Zhou Baolu is going back, "Your brother-in-law is still waiting for me in Heyan Hall." I learned from the old lady that you had hired a doctor today, so I hurried over to see you. Now that the two of them are afraid that they are in a hurry, I will go back first. I'm going to pack my luggage to Xishan these days, I'm just going to see you, my cousin is recuperating, and I'll talk to you when I come back from Xishan. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Baolu had already walked out of the gate of the Rose Garden, and then hurriedly disappeared into the dark night.
When they turned a corner on the road, Sang Xuanyue and Su Jincai returned to the courtyard together and locked the gate.
What they didn't know was that after the "crunch" sound of the door closing, Zhou Baolu and Brocade and Weaving Cai immediately stopped.
Brocade asked, "Madam, are you going to find the third master?" ”
"Go."
Zhou Baolu answered, turned around and walked to the front yard with the two maids.
The two maids are her wedding maids, and they have also grown up with her since childhood. It can be said that her affairs are clear.
When Zhou Baolu came to the Rose Garden, he would only bring brocade and weaving colors, and would never bring other maids. In this way, even if she and Sang Xuanyue's words are listened to by the maids, they don't have to worry about being bad for her.
As for what she just said, Shen Tinglan and Rong An were waiting for her in Heyan Hall, it was all fake.
Rong An went out with them for a day, and fell asleep on the way back; Shen Tinglan learned that his eldest brother had returned from the palace, so he couldn't wait to go to the front yard to find his eldest brother to talk about something.
Zhou Baolu was reluctant to continue facing the old lady, and wanted to go back to the courtyard to rest, but after thinking about it, she decided to come to the Rose Garden to make a false impression of loving her sisters.
She told a lie in front of Sang Xuanyue, which was completely selfish for her. After all, saying that the third master and Rong An are waiting for her, it seems that the third master loves her very much, and their husband and wife are deeply in love, and they are a happy family.
It's an illusion, but she's willing to take it as the truth.
Let her always live in envy and jealousy for her, always in a dark corner, resentment breeds, hatred is numb, and she becomes unrecognizable, just like her in the previous life.
