Wonderful Puppet

After seeing Uncle Wen's family off, life seems to have returned to the calm of the past.

The sky is getting colder and colder. Every morning, a layer of hoarfrost begins to form on the branches and window lattices. With a breath, you can see the lingering white dragon.

After hearing the steward's report, Zhen Miao was a little surprised: "The second madam is going out today?"

"Yes, he said he was going to the Dafu Temple to offer incense." The housekeeper replied respectfully.

These people, if they were a little eager to move at the beginning, then when Tian's health became worse, until they married their daughter-in-law and hadn't re-managed the house, those messy thoughts faded away.

Zhen Miao pondered for a while and said, "Go and call Guanshi Wang who is in charge of correspondence."

A few days ago, Luo Erlang's eccentric performance always made people feel that things were not that simple, and maybe there was something wrong with Erfang.

Not long after, Manager Wang trotted all the way over, panting slightly: "Grandma, what's your order?"

"Steward Wang, sit down." Zhen Miao signaled Bai Shao to bring a small scorpion.

Wang Guanshi took a quick look at Bai Shao, then quickly looked away, and sat gently on the small chair, leaning forward.

"Recently, have there been any posts or letters from Erfang?"

"Second room?" Steward Wang's heart skipped a beat. What is the grandma doing? Although she is in charge of the house, she even asks about the correspondence between the other rooms, which seems a little too much.

However, he still didn't dare to hesitate for too long, and said, "Back to grandma, there are a total of two posts specially sent to Xinyuan during this period of time, one is from the third grandma's natal family, and the other is... It was sent by Jian'anbo Mansion."

He also found it strange that the letter delivered to Jian'anbo Mansion was not for the grandma.It was actually for the second wife.

Zhen Miao's heart sank when she heard that it was sent by Jian'anbo Mansion.

No matter how unresponsive she was, she hadn't forgotten what Mrs. Li was doing with her fifth and sixth sisters here not long ago!

So, Tian and Li, have they reached an agreement?

"Okay, Guanshi Wang. You go down first, Bai Shao, and send Guanshi Wang off for me."

"Grandma is too polite to bother Miss Bai Shao to deliver it." Steward Wang got up, but even though he said that, he couldn't help but look at Bai Shao again.

With a sullen face, Bai Shao said lightly, "Guard Wang. Please."

After sending Guanshi Wang away, Zhen Miao called Aluan and Qingdai, after thinking about it, she called Qingge again: "Let's go, follow me to Dafu Temple to offer incense."

Dafu Temple is on the green hill behind the imperial city.Zhen Miao took the carriage and arrived in less than an hour, but she just wanted to enter the monastery, but she could only park the carriage aside.Climbing up the stairs along the mountain, fortunately this section of the road is for Zhen Miao who has never stopped to exercise.It's not a big deal, the other three maids, except Aluan who is a little panting, Qingdai and Qingge are walking like flying.

Met the Zhike monk.Zhen Miao revealed her identity, and then said: "My aunt and I made an appointment to come to offer incense together, but the carriage we were traveling in broke down on the way, which delayed some time. I wonder which hall my aunt is offering incense now?"

The Zhike monk did not doubt that he was there, clasped his palms together and said: "The second lady of your mansion is in the wing room on the right side of the Heavenly King Hall, enlightened, and bring the female benefactor there."

A little novice came over and said crisply: "Female benefactor, please come with the little monk."

A group of people passed through the hall, and vaguely heard chatter and laughter coming from the room.

"Female benefactor, here we are."

The little novice stepped forward and knocked on the door, Tian Shi could not help being stunned when he saw who was coming.

Zhen Miao smiled, "Second Aunt, my car has finally been repaired, I didn't keep you waiting."

Without waiting for Mrs. Tian to speak, she thanked the little novice and led Aluan and the other three inside.

The wing room of Dafu Temple was not big, but it was cleaned very quietly, and the furnishings inside were not crude. There was a pot of tea plums in full bloom on the window sill, which seemed to provide a resting place for the female relatives of a wealthy family.

It was because the room was not big, Zhen Miao could see clearly what was going on inside with just a glance.

Mrs. Li was still sitting on the big kang built against the wall in the wing room, with a kang table in front of her, with a tea set on it, and Zhen Bing and Zhen Yu sat under Mrs. Li.

Seeing Zhen Miao looking over, Zhen Bing's face was flushed and he was extremely embarrassed, while Zhen Yu kept a straight face, as if he was trying to endure something.

Zhen Miao was so angry that her heart ached.

Mrs. Li is really good at it, even if she wants to get married with Mrs. Tian again, there is no need to bring the fifth sister to others, especially Luo Erlang, the girl who gave birth to smallpox and has pockmarks on the east side of the street. , with him ruined!

"Second aunt and second aunt, is this a coincidence?"

Tian forced a smile: "Yes, who knew that it was such a coincidence that I met your second aunt and saw your two cousins, tsk tsk, it's not the second aunt who said that your two cousins ​​are very good Girl."

Zhen Miao pursed her lips and smiled: "My younger sister is indeed fine."

Tian secretly rolled her eyes, and said in her heart that she praised you for being fat, and you are still out of breath. If it weren't for Erlang's words, I would still despise you!

Zhen Miao sat down on the kang unceremoniously, and changed her tone: "But Second Aunt is also modest, and my third sibling is also very good."

She blinked at Mrs. Li: "Second aunt, my third sibling is the niece of my second aunt's family. They are well-behaved and sensible, and they are as close as mother and daughter to my second aunt. People who don't have a mother-in-law above me look at them, don't mention how envious they are." gone."

The smile on Li's face froze.

She had also inquired about it before, and this is what she was most dissatisfied with about this marriage.

Don't look at the defeat of the Tian family, but the youngest daughter-in-law is Tian's own niece. No matter how good other daughter-in-laws are, she can't surpass this niece in front of her mother-in-law. of.

If so, her Bing'er might be offended.

When Tian Shi heard what Zhen Miao said, she became anxious and hurriedly said, "That girl is honest, she is far inferior to your two cousins."

Damn it, it's one thing for her to want this marriage, but it's another matter if she is disturbed by Mrs. Zhen.

Zhen Miao looked surprised: "Second aunt, I heard that among the girls in the Tian family, the third younger sibling is the most outstanding!"

What this means is that Tian Xue is the most outstanding girl in your natal family, but she is far inferior to my two cousins, so your natal family is also frustrated!

Tian Shi was choked out of breath, staring at Zhen Miao with her lips moving.

Zhen Miao thoughtfully walked her down the steps: "Second aunt, my niece and daughter-in-law understand, you must be modest."

Nonsense, of course I am humble!Tian almost couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Seeing Zhen Miao smiled, "However, you feel dissatisfied with someone who is outstanding like the third younger brother and sister, you are too picky."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li felt something was wrong.What?My own niece is so picky, how can it be good for her daughter?

Since Zhen Miao came into the room, she was full of laughter, but she dug one hole after another for Tian to jump.

Tian squatted in the pit and couldn't climb up, wanted to cry but had no tears, and was so angry that his eyes dimmed.

"Second Aunt came to Dafu Temple to offer incense this time. Did she come to pray for Erlang?"

Tian picked up the snow-white handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth reservedly: "Yes, I have wanted to come here for Erlang for a long time, but I never got the chance, I didn't expect to come out today, and I met Mrs. Li by chance. It's really fate."

Erlang is about to take part in the examination in the spring, so it's normal for her mother to go out to pray for her son, right?

Zhen Miao persuaded with a worried face: "Second Aunt, don't worry too much. Although Erlang is thin, his complexion is pale. Presumably it's because he studied too hard all day, so his body couldn't bear it. , Let me tell you, go out for a walk more every day. Practice your body, maybe it will be much better."

"What?" Li's eyes were like knives, and he slashed at Tian.

She wanted to marry her daughter to the Duke's mansion, and she was interested in a promising young Jinshi in the future, but she didn't think about making her daughter a widow in the future!

Li's short-sightedness also has the advantage of short-sightedness, hearing Zhen Miao's words imply that Luo Erlang is not in good health, he faintly retreated in his heart.

Tian was furious, and no longer caring about the presence of Li and others, he said angrily: "Zhen, you are too worried, Erlang is in good health, you are a sister-in-law, when did you see him turn pale? ?”

This is to tell Li Shi that Zhen Shi is a sister-in-law, and it is too late to avoid suspicion on weekdays. How can there be so many opportunities to see Erlang, and it is nonsense to say that Erlang is not in good health.

Zhen Miao raised the corners of her lips, and gave the final blow: "A few times when the eldest son was away, Erlang came to Qingfengtang. I saw that his face was not very good, so I didn't want to persuade him much."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she felt that something was wrong.

The prince is not here, what is Luo Erlang doing in Qingfengtang?This little uncle, does he have other thoughts about his sister-in-law?

She raised her eyes secretly, took a closer look at Zhen Miao, saw her lips were red, her eyes were like lacquer, and there were dimples on her plump cheeks, which made one look intoxicated, and her heart sank.

She is a woman, and she is a concubine from a big and intricate family. She is not like those serious ladies who understand the lethality of beauty to men.

Compared with men's desires, those taboos can sometimes be thrown aside. In the previous generation of the Li family, an aunt hanged herself. At that time, she was young and played hide-and-seek with her sisters and hid under the bed. , I heard the voices of grandmother and uncle talking.

It turned out that the aunt had been pregnant for two months when she died, and the child was actually the cousin's next door!

At the time, she was in a daze and didn't understand much, but she knew it was not a good thing, so she buried it in her heart. Later, as she got older, she suddenly realized it, and then looked at those sanctimonious people and found it extremely ridiculous.

In her opinion, everything is imaginary, and only the benefits in her own hands are real.

No matter how talented Luo Erlang is, no matter how good his family background is, without a good body, his daughter's blessing will not last long. If he still has any thoughts on Miaoer, then his daughter will have no luck at all.

Li stood up, her legs were numb from sitting cross-legged for a long time, she swayed and was quickly supported by Zhen Bing.

She laughed dryly: "Mrs. Tian, ​​I remembered that I still have some things to deal with at home, so I'll go back first, so I won't delay your offering incense."

Tian Shi was dizzy with anger, supported his forehead, and glared at Zhen Miao angrily: "Zhen Miao, you said that Erlang went to Qingfengtang, what's going on?"

This little bitch actually poured dirty water on Erlang's body, it's really unbearable, even if she broke up in front of outsiders, she doesn't care anymore.

Zhen Miao stretched out her hand and firmly held onto Tian's arm: "Second Aunt, what's the matter with you, quickly extinguish the fire, it's rare to come out. My niece and daughter-in-law didn't say anything, but Erlang went to Qingfengtang several times to find his son, what a pity The eldest son is not here, and their brothers have not spoken."

The eldest son was not there, so Erlang came over.

Erlang came to look for Shizi, but Shizi was not there.

The art of language is so wonderful. For the same words, as long as the order is reversed, the meaning of the words will be completely different.

Zhen Bing and Zhen Yu looked at Zhen Miao with burning eyes, full of admiration.

When did their fourth sister become so powerful?

Tian was so choked by Zhen Miao, and couldn't take the initiative to choose who to understand, so he poured sewage on his son, seeing that Li was leaving with his two daughters, angrily rolled his eyes and went to the kang. Up and down.

Because the house is not spacious, the maids brought by Li Shi and Tian Shi are all waiting in other rooms, and there are only a group of women who have not experienced the storm in the room.

Seeing that Tian suddenly passed out, Li was startled and opened his mouth to shout.

Zhen Miao stopped her in time, and said very calmly: "Second Aunt, don't panic, Second Aunt has been in poor health recently and often faints, I have experience in this matter!"

Li's eyes widened in surprise: "Grandma Sigu, will you still deal with this?"

Zhen Bing and Zhen Yu looked at Zhen Miao with even more admiration, the Fourth Sister actually knew how to see a doctor!

Zhen Miao stretched out her hand, pointed at Tian's people and pinched fiercely, Tian was in pain, and sat up with a scream.

Zhen Miao smiled and said to Li Shi: "Second Aunt, look, this is an old lady's medical treatment. It is most effective for treating comatose people."

As soon as she brought the old doctor out, Mrs. Tian swallowed the words she was about to scold, with bright nail marks on the bottom of her nose, shaking with anger.

Zhen Bing and Zhen Yu looked at each other and smiled.

Zhen Miao has no time to coax Tian Shi, since she broke up this marriage, her goal will be achieved, so why not escort Tian Shi back to her natal family?

"Second auntie, let me take you out first."

"Oh, oh." Li Shi woke up from the daze and nodded.

Leaving Tian Shi alone, Zhen Miao accompanied Li Shi outside.

"Second aunt, since you're here, you'd better go burn some incense. I haven't talked to my sisters for a long time, and I want to take them for a walk."

Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Although she doesn't like Zhen Miao, Zhen Miao's status is very different now compared to when she was not out of the cabinet, it is also a good thing that her daughters can get close to her.

Zhen Miao took Zhen Bing sisters to walk forward at a leisurely pace, and finally stopped by the release pool.

"Fourth Sister." Zhen Yu spoke first, "Thank you for coming today."

I don't know when, the little estrangement between the sisters when they were young has disappeared with Zhen Miao's marriage, but every time they meet each other, they feel closer in their hearts.

Zhen Miao brushed the fallen leaves on the stone platform by the pool, put on a handkerchief and sat down, then said: "Fifth Sister, Sixth Sister, what are the plans of Second Aunt and my Second Aunt? If it spreads, it will be ugly." (Want to know more exciting news about "Miao Ou Tiancheng"?
