Chapter 85

In Anhetang, in the old lady's bedroom, Chunnuan and Qiuju are helping the old lady get out of bed, the elderly sleep less, as long as they can sleep for more than half an hour at noon, they will be fine.

After changing clothes and washing face, He Xiang combed the old lady's hair, tied a refreshing bun, inserted a two-inch-long green flower branch and hosta, walked out of the hall with her help, and sat down on the cushioned Arhat couch.

Mother Lin handed a cup of warm tea to the old lady. The old lady looked at her and said, "It's enough for Chunnuan and them to be here at noon. You are not young, and you sleep lightly at night. You should take a nap. "

Mother Lin smiled and said: "I sat and took a nap, because Mama Chi from Yuhui Courtyard was there, and chatted with their wives some gossips, so I was happy."

The old lady took a sip of tea and asked, "Mama Chi hasn't returned to Yuhui Court yet? Are you afraid that Qing'er will ask her to do something?"

"It is said that the young lady will sleep for more than an hour at noon every day, but she did not wake up so quickly, so she is not in a hurry to go back. She probably has to leave now."

The old lady put down the teacup and said: "I was too busy in the morning to listen to her details. Stop her quickly, and I will ask her a few more questions."

Mother Lin agreed to back down, and signaled to the girls who were serving beside her to follow her out.

After a while, Mama Chi came in, and the old lady asked her to sit on the footrest, and handed her a small plate, which was filled with preserved melons and candies.

Mother Chi took the plate, thanked the old lady, put a piece of winter melon candy into her mouth, and said with a smile, "The candy given by the old lady is sweet and delicious!"

The old lady couldn't help laughing. Back then when she married into the Hou's mansion, she brought in sixteen dowry girls, the youngest was only seven or eight years old. Mama Chi was one of those little girls who got some melons from her every day. Seed candy, it seems like something happy.

The old lady smiled and asked: "Look at you so greedy, my granddaughter-in-law treats you well? Doesn't she give you these things to eat?"

Chi's mother hurriedly replied: "Young madam is really kind to the people below. For a woman like me, there are little girls in the room who sweep and wipe, do laundry and serve tea. There are candied melon fruit plates on the table on weekdays. Master Hou From time to time, Mrs. He gave good tea and snacks, and the inexhaustible good things in the main room were delivered to our room first..."

"Well, it's because they respect you for my sake. When you live in that courtyard, you should also consider them more, and try your best to manage the subordinates for them, and you have to beware of outsiders coming in to make trouble, just like This morning...it hurts my heart to mention this!"

Mother Chi hurriedly got up to comfort the old lady's chest, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady, put me in Yuhui Courtyard, just because the old lady is worried about Master Hou and Young Madam, I understand it in my heart, I dare not Slacking off. It’s just that what happened in Yuhui Courtyard this morning was too unexpected, and I didn’t expect that two cousin girls would come out of the courtyard and make such a statement!”

Mrs. Zheng waved her hand: "Two ignorant girls! I love them a lot when they are children, and they have always been well-behaved and smart. Unexpectedly, it makes people worry about growing up... Sigh! Although they are close relatives, after all they are People with foreign surnames! In the future, be more careful!"

"Yes!"

Mother Chi heard her tone of voice, and knew that the old lady was really angry this time, and the quarrel between Fang's cousin and Miss Wang was too much!

At that time, the old lady put aside many girls from high families and wealthy families, and made every effort to marry her grandson back to Xiaojiabiyu Xia Yiqing. In addition to Xia Yiqing being the grandson's favorite and specifying to marry, but also because Xia Yiqing's horoscope and grandson's are natural. Perfect match!Husband and wife live together and prosper together, love each other and grow old together, and in the future, hundreds of children and grandchildren will enjoy endless wealth and blessings... Mama Chi still remembers that when the old lady heard that the alchemist ordered orders for the two, she was so excited that she shed tears on the spot. Busy engagement and marriage, the clearest goal is to see the little grandson as soon as possible!As a result, there is now such a rumor for her, saying that Xia Yiqing can't get pregnant and have a baby. Doesn't this mean that she wants the old lady's life?

Mrs. Zheng pondered for a while, and said to Mother Chi: "There is no wind, no waves. If there was no chaos in the Yuhui Courtyard in the morning, there would be nothing for them to talk about... You heard the young couple arguing in the middle of the night a few days ago, saying yes Lord Hou scolded the Young Madam, and then saw Yan'er coming out of the Hanjin Courtyard in the middle of the next night, I had someone arrest Du Zhong to ask, and it really happened that I went to the palace again... The little enemy is just disobedient! Accompanied by a newly married wife and room, who would be uncomfortable if they changed? Don't let it be that they are really awkward, but Mingli pretends to be reconciled for us to see? Have you looked carefully?"

"Old lady, I'm watching with my heart! I have eavesdropped several times outside the window on the corridor. Sometimes they joked, and sometimes they really argued! But the next morning they woke up very well, and the young lady sent Lord Hou out of the hospital. Parting told him to go to the hospital early. Come on, she carefully tidied up Lord Hou's clothes... The new daughter-in-law looks so shy that even Lord Hou has a slight smile on his face! The old lady also knows that our Lord Hou doesn't smile on weekdays, except for you and me. Mrs!"

Mrs. Zheng nodded and sighed: "How else can we say that it is mutual generation and prosperity? You see, since we got married, Yan'er has no stomach troubles or headaches. He used to cough every now and then. I can't bear to see him looking downcast. Pulling him out as a guest... His complexion is much better now, and he is in good spirits every day, which is great! That, that is, we have been married for so long, why is there no news from your young lady?"

Mother Chi said: "Old lady, you are too anxious, you have not been married for two months yet!"

The old lady insisted: "From the day of the bridal chamber, if we are together every day, we should have it! Can you see that there is something wrong with her during the day?"

Mama Chi was cruel, so she had to tell the truth to Mrs. Zheng: "Young Madam...the monthly letter just passed a few days ago!"

After hearing this, the old lady was stunned, silent for a while, and said to Chi's mother with a straight face: "From now on, you must tell me whether Qing'er comes or not."

"Yes, I understand!"

Mama Chi lowered her head and thought for a while, then she made up her mind and said, "I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

"Say!"

"Yes! I am valued by Mrs. Meng in Yuhui Courtyard, and I ask about many things, but Mrs. Young's dowry women are also very shrewd. I don't know if Mrs. Meng will give them another explanation? The matter of eating, drinking, bathing and washing between Young Madam and Master Hou is not in the hands of the people of the Hou Mansion. The side yard of Yuhui Courtyard is dedicated to boiling water and washing. I was stopped by the woman in charge several times when I went there. I went to find the young lady, and the young lady smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about the chores, which are dirty and messy." But what the woman yelled at me was: "Young lady said, this yard is an important place, and there are no chores." People wait, don't enter! I, I became a random person in that Yuhui courtyard! I was so angry that I brought someone to forcefully break in to check, old lady..."

There was a look of hesitation in Chi's mother's eyes, and Mrs. Zheng glared at her: "Speak up if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say!"

"Yes... so what, they say that the sheets and clothes of the newlyweds are always a little ugly, but our Yuhui Courtyard is too clean!"

"You mean?"

"I just broke in and looked at it for two days, and the young lady asked me to have a good talk. Naturally, I couldn't do it sideways. Later, I secretly checked the changed bedding and clothes in the previous room. There were eight or nine times. Smell the smell of sweat, nothing, nothing else!"

The old lady Zheng stared blankly, her face was pale and she leaned against the pillow, her hands and feet were limp: "You mean, don't you mean that my grandson can't, can't do things?"

Mother Chi hurriedly knelt down on the footrest, crying in a hurry: "Don't be like this, old lady, I'm just afraid that you will be in a hurry, so I haven't dared to talk nonsense... I want to wait until they really have it, then it will be fine, and there is no need Worry about it!"

Mrs. Zheng came back to her senses, raised her hand and slapped Mama Chi vigorously: "You bastard! Don't you know that I'm worried for so many years? Don't you mind adding this? Don't give it to me in the future. Hidden, no matter what, report it all to me!"

Seeing her slowing down, Mother Chi quickly agreed: "Hey! Don't dare again!"

Mrs. Zheng let out a heavy breath, and said harshly: "I don't believe it! My grandson can't give birth to a son?"

Chi's mother hurriedly said: "Old lady, keep your voice down! If this word is passed on, it will be terrible!"

There was a sharp light in Mrs. Zheng's eyes: "Whoever dares to spread the word will be beaten to death!"

Then she said to Mother Chi: "You go back now, Qing'er is afraid that she will ask you when she wakes up, after they rest at night, you come over again, then I will talk to you in detail! Go!"

"Yes!"

Mama Chi exited the hall, Mama Lin came in, and said with a smile: "The old lady can pinch and count. My aunt, cousin, and Miss Wang just walked to the front yard!"

Mrs. Zheng hummed, beckoned Mama Lin to come closer, and whispered in her ear, "Take two safe ones to my room. There are four agarwood and copper corner boxes on the hard couch in the west room. Find out all the erotic pictures and other things that came as a dowry, put them in a box, and then go to the pharmacy in your house to find some fragrant tablets or powders that young couples love to use..."

Mother Lin was dumbfounded: "Why do you want these?"

Mrs. Zheng waved her hand: "Just do it, I have my own use! Go and come back, I will tell you later!"

At this time, Fang Zheng took Fang Baochan and Wang Wenhui into the hall, and Fang Zheng hurried up and said with a smile: "What's the mother, even if you ask me to do it, why bother to send Mama Lin? I am idle, and I am idle." , but you can't leave Mama Lin even half a step!"

Mrs. Zheng watched Mama Lin leave, and said to her eldest daughter, "It's an important matter. I don't worry if she has to do it! You go to buy joss sticks and various offerings in the morning, and also buy some rice flour, melon candy powder for the adopted ones in the monastery." Orphans and widows, is it going well?"

"Everything has been bought, mother can rest assured."

As Fang Zheng said, she went and knelt down in front of Mrs. Zheng. Seeing this, Baochan and Wen Hui also knelt down quickly. Fang Zheng said with tears, "Mom, please punish me, it's because I didn't discipline myself strictly , these two little enemies..."

Mrs. Zheng showed a trace of tiredness on her face: "Okay, it's all over. I scolded Baochan and Wenhui in the morning, and I don't want to mention it again. Just remember my words: no matter where you are, don't provoke such dangerous people again." The matter of Feng Wuying, how many disasters came from this!"

Fang Zheng turned around and scolded: "You two are unfilial, your grandmother is so old, and she has to work hard to teach you personally, why don't you thank your grandmother?"

Baochan and Wenhui kowtowed, and seeing Wenhui crying again, Mrs. Zheng sighed and said, "Get up, and be more obedient and sensible in the future. Grandmother doesn't blame you, neither do aunts, cousins ​​and sisters-in-law. Strange, it’s hard to say when I go to someone else’s house in the future! Be sure to remember it!”
