Chapter 136: The Dream Comes to Nothing
Xia Mansion, Aunt Du's Yirong Courtyard.
The door creaked and slowly opened, and a soft and soft voice came with a bit of joy, "Auntie, Xiang'er made you sweet soup......
"Oh, you, do you want to scare your aunt to death? I always walk so lightly without a sound, what kind of sweet soup do you make, you can finally walk around, and you want to torture others with a serious illness?"
But I didn't want to, Aunt Du in the house covered her heart and covered her face with a reprimand, and the thin and thin girl stood outside the house like a willow, and her slightly improved face was white and clear in the sun.
At this moment, she smiled apologetically, and her hand holding the sweet soup trembled slightly, but Aunt Du didn't even look at it.
"Auntie ...... today. It's beautiful. ”
Xia Xiang was accustomed to such a cold, she obediently stepped in and stood aside, looking at Aunt Du who was gesturing in front of the mirror at this time, and found that the other party had changed into a gorgeous dress that was rarely worn.
At this time, she strung a jade bracelet again, and after a few comparisons, she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.
When Xia Xiang saw her expression, she knew that the other party was in a very good mood, and before she could ask anything, Aunt Du had already stood up and glanced at her impatiently, "Don't sit down quickly, if you fall down in a while, Auntie won't have time to take care of you!"
The old lady sent a message to everyone in the house to go to her yard immediately, and Aunt Du knew the reason as soon as she guessed it.
Aunt Ruan is crazy now, if she doesn't change someone to take over the affairs of the mansion, the Xia Mansion will be in chaos! And the third lady promised her, so today, Feng Shui has finally turned to the gate of her own courtyard, how can she not dress up decently?
Xia Xiang smiled sweetly, only to feel that her aunt was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, but she still cared about herself.
The girl straightened her hair, lowered her head and adjusted her dress, but Aunt Du had already walked to the door and threw a sentence, "Don't go, save your grandmother from being upset!"
Anyway, no one cares if there is Miss Nine in the house.
In Aunt Du's opinion, she has always been poked in the backbone over the years, saying that she gave birth to a money-losing goods who hold a medicine jar all day long, and her son has done nothing, so she is finally about to turn over, she doesn't want to be laughed at by a sick seedling behind her, which will remind her of the fingers she has been subjected to.
Xia Xiang was slightly stunned, and lowered her eyes in some frustration, "...... Good. ”
But before the voice floated over, there was still the figure of her aunt in front of her, Xia Xiang slowly looked at the sweet soup in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.
In the old lady's courtyard, Aunt Su was late, and Aunt Du, who had already been in a mood, frowned and sneered, "Sister Su came so late, could it be that she soaked in the hot springs too much, and her legs and feet were not good?
Aunt Su, who is still unpretentious, has been much more mellow than before, and it seems that the charm still exists, and she humbly compensated for it, "The eldest young master has contracted the wind and cold for the past two days, and he is afraid that he will be sick to the people in the house, so he ......"
In fact, Xia Qianwei explained that Xia Qianwei should not let others know about Xia Xin's recuperation and injured leg for the time being, so as not to cause complications.
"I see, I thought someone was arrogant, and he didn't even excuse the old lady to come, which was really chilling. ”
Aunt Du was so jealous in her heart, why could this poor mother and son live in such a good Yunquan Courtyard? Her little nine was even worse, why didn't anyone let them move?
But it doesn't matter, sooner or later she'll get these two eyesores out!
"Are they all here?" At this time, the old lady's voice came from the inner hall, and she saw Xia Qianwei carefully supporting her, Aunt Du immediately puffed up her chest and looked extremely expectant, not wanting to raise her eyes, but she saw the old lady followed by Xia Qing, who looked haggard, and her eyes couldn't help but show a touch of disgust.
These eight young ladies have no support now, so they have to come to the old lady?
But they didn't want to, accompanied by a familiar voice, everyone looked at the person in surprise.
"The daughter-in-law is late, and she hopes that her mother will forgive her sins. ”
The second lady, who had not set foot in the General's Mansion for a long time, suddenly visited, and Aunt Du's face changed instantly, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in her heart.
Just when she was worried, the old lady looked around at everyone, and her eyes fell on the extraordinarily noble figure unhappily, and she already felt that Aunt Du could not hide her desire to climb up, and then snorted coldly before slowly opening her mouth, "Recently, there have been many affairs in the house, I have discussed with your general, this backyard can't be without a manager, so ......"
Xia Qianwei glanced at the nervous woman lightly, although her expression pretended to be calm, but the thin sweat oozing from her forehead at some point had betrayed her thoughts.
Looking at the jade jewelry she was wearing today, Xia Qianwei couldn't help but shake her head in her heart, people often think that they are about to succeed when they will be slack and show their feet, this Aunt Du is also cautious on weekdays, but now she can't hold her breath.
But there are always people who don't understand that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, if you can't keep a normal heart, how can you achieve great things?
"Qinghe, you used to follow Yurong's side and learned to read the account book, right?"
Aunt Du was shocked, looked at the old lady in disbelief, just met her sharp gaze, and quickly lowered her head weakly.
I saw Aunt Su respectfully step out and salute, her tone was full of trepidation, she didn't expect the old lady to call her by her name, doesn't this mean to hand over the power of the family to herself......?"
"There's nothing to dare to, I'm naturally relieved about the people who came out of Yurong's teaching, and if there's anything else you don't understand, you can also ask the second room." ”
As soon as the old lady's words fell, the second lady looked at Aunt Su with a friendly smile, and there was no half-point of the second house's mother's shelf, "Mother is right, besides, the eldest young master is very smart, I believe that he can also help Sister Su." ”
Aunt Du's hand in her sleeve had already been tightly clenched, and her nails were deeply embedded in her palm without realizing it.
Sister? Who is her sister, has her cousin forgotten......? !
"Whoever has an objection can raise it. ”
The atmosphere in the room has changed subtly, the old lady's voice has a little deep meaning, Aunt Du simply gritted her teeth and stood up, trying to maintain a positive smile, "Old lady, the concubine is not talented, and she has a lot of leisure on weekdays, and she can also help Sister Su." ”
"You, Xiang'er's health is not good, you still have to take care of it, so you don't have to bother. ”
The old lady's tone was full of disgust, Aunt Du clearly felt that all kinds of strange eyes fell on her, and immediately felt that her face was dull, her eyes were red and she looked at the second lady pitifully, hoping that her cousin could pull her, but the other party's eyes were just a little apologetic and helpless, obviously unwilling to help.
And the third lady beside the old lady always looked like she was out of the way, and she didn't mean to speak for her at all.
Aunt Du was extremely aggrieved, hesitated for a moment before retreating to the side with a stiff expression, looking at her luxurious clothes, she only felt extremely ironic, as if everyone was watching her jokes.
Damn Xia Qianwei, she actually tricked her! A strong hatred immediately welled up from the bottom of my heart......
