Chapter 226: Hongchun's Marriage (3)
Hongchun returned home from studying in the palace, very tired, and the little eunuch who served with him carried a lantern in front of him, and said with a smile: "When I got up this morning, the master was in the back of the clothes, and the grandmother in the courtyard of Fujin on the side handed a message to the slave, so that the master dispersed and went to the side Fujin house to ask for peace" Hongchun vaguely guessed that it was for the Wang family and the Cui family to compete for favor, and he was very impatient, and said: "I know." Walking through the garden, I saw the brilliant lights in the courtyard from a distance, Hongchun dressed up and walked inside.
Seeing that several big girls from the side Fujin were all standing in the corridor, they were surprised and asked, "Where is Eniang?" The slave maid Fu Fu at the head said: "Master, the master went to Fujin to talk." Hongchun sighed, turned around and was about to leave, the slave took another half a step forward, and said respectfully: "Please go to the Buddha Hall to take a look, at night, Wang Gege and Cui Gege somehow fought in the garden, Fu Jin knew, angry, and ordered the two Gege to kneel in the Buddha Hall and wait for the master to fall." Hongchun's face was suddenly cold, his eyes were cold to the bone, his hands were behind his back, he pondered for a moment, and then went down the stairs.
The night is confused, the Buddha hall is located in the east, because the Fu Jin does not worship the Buddha, that faction of the direction to the deserted and bleak.
Today, it was bright, and several lanterns several feet high were lit around, and the light shrouded the entire Buddhist hall.
Entering the courtyard, I saw countless girls standing on both sides, Hongchun entered the lobby along the corridor, Minqiu stepped forward and whispered: "Fujin and side Fujin are drinking tea and talking in the east ear room, and the two Gege are kneeling in front of the Buddha shrine in the west, Fujin is not very happy, and the master should speak carefully." After that, he lifted the curtain with his own hands and invited Hongchun in.
I heard the sound and said, "Is it Hongchun?" Come on in. "Hongchun answered outside
"Yes", Fang leaned into the house, first asked me for peace, and then asked for peace for the side Fujin, and then said: "I heard the girl say that the Wang Cui family made a big mistake in front of Fujin, which made Fujin unhappy, it was because I was not strict in discipline, please punish Fujin." After speaking, without saying much, he lifted his robe and knelt down in front of me, kowtowing three times.
I hurriedly helped him and said, "Get up and speak first." Fang Fujin didn't feel that it was Hongchun's fault, and said: "You men naturally can't control the affairs of the backyard, this matter depends on me, as their mother-in-law, but I can't let them respect each other and live in peace." If Fu Jin wants to blame me, I can't let the serious master be punished for the things in the backyard. The fourteenth master is not in the house, Hongchun is the only man in charge, and it is not good to hear it. Hongchun glanced at the side Fujin and said, "There is Fujin in the house, why do you need me to be in charge?" E-Niang doesn't have to blame herself, everything is up to Fujin to decide. These days, I do favor the Wang family, and I snubbed the Cui family, and the two of them are unhappy, all because of me" He said that he was not good, and spoke for the two Gege, as if he was partial, but made me look at each other differently.
I sat upright on the main seat, put my arms on the stool at will, and said, "They are the people in your house, what do you want to do with them?" Hongchun still said the same sentence, and said: "Listen to Fujin's disposal." "Over the years, Fang Fujin has been managing the backyard chores, if this matter is not a rumor, Fang Fujin will not tell me.
At this time, when she heard that Hongchun actually asked me to dispose of it, she had a pimple in her heart, and she felt that her rights had been deprived of her life, and she was very unhappy.
She raised a smile and said, "How can Fu Jin worry about such a trivial matter?" Then he said to me, "If the slaves and maids are brought back today, they will definitely teach them a good lesson, and there will never be a next time." If any of them dare to commit it again" She gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "The slave and maid will drive people out of the house" She also clearly remembered that the fourteenth concubine Wu was kicked out of the house by me, and now she is still raised in the house, and she has not seen anyone for several years.
I wanted to draw a scoop according to the gourd and put her style on display. I listened to her arrogant words, doing whatever she wanted, not at all as humble as before, so I said: "When Hongchun's daughter-in-law Guerjia enters the door, they move into the new mansion, and the two Gege will naturally follow." In the future, there will be the Guarjia clan in charge of the two, but the side Fujin will save his heart. After a pause, he smiled lightly and asked in a cold voice: "Why don't you go out of the house with Hongchun?" I heard that Hongchun's mansion is very magnificent, and I went to Fujin to take care of Hongchun's housework. I didn't seem to be smiling, and I didn't look at her squarely, just staring at the uncovered Biluochun on the coffee table, the green and faint color, reflecting the fire under the palace lamp.
The back of Fu Jin's hand trembled slightly, and he thought that I didn't dare to do anything with her with Hongchun, so he smiled and said: "No matter how good Hongchun is, it's not a slave's home, Fu Jin's words are really strange." "The fourteenth master is alive, and she is a serious side Fujin who has children, how can she say that she will be taken away?
Thinking of this, Fang Fujin settled down, knowing that I couldn't do anything about her, but he added a little arrogance. I glanced up at her, a shallow smile on my lips, I knew that this kind of sneer that was not smiling was the most penetrating, and every time Fourteen put on such a look, the minions below would always be half scared to death.
Fang Fujin was really timid, and reluctantly said: "The slave maid lost her words." I smiled and said, "You're right, this is your home, you are the side Fujin of the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion!" I bit the words Fang Fujin very hard, and even Hongchun heard the meaning, his eyebrows furrowed, and he quietly glanced at Fang Fujin.
I don't mean to suppress Fang Fujin, it's just that in this family, I am the hostess, and I can't go backwards in this matter!
I want to remind her that even if she has Hongchun to rely on, it is impossible for her to bully me.
There was a sudden silence in the room, and the minions standing outside did not know what was going on, but felt that the atmosphere was depressing, and no one dared to smell or see more, and they all hung their heads with their chests bowed, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
But Hongchun spoke first: "When I open the house, I really want to take E-Niang to live for a few more days, if Fujin feels that it is appropriate, just let E-Niang be supported by me!" "I didn't expect Hongchun to say such words, and I was speechless in amazement.
Fang Fujin's body was shocked, and he reprimanded loudly: "Hongchun, you are talking nonsense!" I am the side of the Fourteenth Belle Lord, I followed the Fourteenth Master at the age of fifteen, and now the Fourteenth Master is strong and healthy, how can I leave him? As long as the Fourteenth Master does not dislike me, I will serve him for the rest of my life. I won't let you say that again! Her breath was undecided, her chest was high and she was angry.
Hongchun has always been worthless for Fang Fujin, from childhood to adulthood, the big and small affairs in the house are handled by Fang Fujin, but Ama has never looked at her all year round, and even more so - he has never seen Ama stay overnight in Eniang's house.
What I didn't understand when I was a child, I didn't understand it until I grew up. Because Ama has a blessing in his heart, he can no longer tolerate his own mother.
But Fu Jin treated him very well, so that he had no way to hate her and hate her, so he always thought that when he opened the mansion, he would take Eniang out of here, and no longer care about the laborious trivial matters of the fourteen Baylor mansions.
Let Fujin also taste it, how difficult it should be to manage the eating, drinking and Lazar of such a large family. The two of them quarreled, I didn't know how to interject, and suddenly there was some pity for the side Fujin, she entered the house before me, accompanied Fourteen before me, gave birth to a child for Fourteen before me, and she may even be the first woman of Fourteen.
Since I married Fourteen, I have hardly taken care of the affairs of the family, unless I make a decision on a major matter, or there is something that I can't make a decision on the side Fujin to let me make an idea, other personal contacts, and the banquets between the ministers of the palace, I mostly ignore it, and leave it all to the side Fujin to cook.
She has really worked hard all these years, and she has whispered in front of me, and it is only recently that her wings have hardened.
If she wants to follow Hongchun out of the house, I won't stop her, and I will persuade Fourteen to agree. If I could, I would have liked her to remarry.
I eased my tone, and was about to say something, but I saw that Minqiu ignored the etiquette, and went straight into the house with the curtain, and said anxiously: "Master, Cui Gege shouted that his stomach hurts, his face is pale, and the slave maid feels that he has to quickly order someone to invite Doctor Bai to take a look" Before the words fell, Hongchun had already walked out, I quickly got up and followed behind, and said: "Quickly pass!" Min Qiu turned outside, called a little guy to him, said a few words, watched the little guy disappear without a trace, and then turned back to the west ear room to look at Cui Gege.
Cui Gege rolled on the ground in pain, Hongchun hugged her horizontally, because the Buddha Hall did not get a kang, so she could only lean on her in his arms, he said: "You bear with it, you have already called Doctor Bai." Cui Gege was full of fine sweat, and tears flowed down her face, she nestled in Hongchun's arms, a small group of people, really like a little girl.
Cui Gege said with a crying voice: "The slave is afraid" Hongchun felt pity and said: "Don't cry, there is a master here, and you won't be fine." I was also worried about Cui Gege, so I hurriedly said, "This is close to my yard, send me to the house first." Hongchun was afraid of overstepping the rules, and said: "I'll still carry her back to the side hospital" I frowned and said: "She hurts like this, if something happens, how can she get it?" You're not there, but the bed in the study is picked up again, and let her lie down first. When Hongchun heard that it was the place where Fourteen had lived, he became more and more afraid to move, and said, "How can that be?" Amma" I hurriedly said: "I said okay, go quickly, don't delay Cui Gege's treatment." Hongchun hesitated, looked at Side Fujin, and Side Fujin said: "Since Fujin said yes, naturally you can, you don't have to worry, go ahead." After listening to Eniang's words, Hongchun took a step and ran quickly towards my yard.
Everyone was gone, leaving Wang Gege to sit on the ground alone, just now she took advantage of Cui Gege's kneeling on the ground and bowed her waist and didn't pay attention, and pushed her hard.
Dr. Bai is a private doctor who specializes in treating patients in the Fourteen Prefectures, and he lives in the back streets and alleys.
He first diagnosed Cui Gege's pulse, and then pricked a silver needle, and when Cui Gege was no longer in pain, Fang entered the flower hall to write a prescription, and instructed Hongchun again: "Cui Gege should rest and recuperate, and she is not allowed to run around, she is young and her body has not yet grown, so she must be especially careful to protect the fetus." After finishing speaking, he handed over the recipe to the girl to go to the pharmacy to decoct the medicine, and knelt down and retreated.
