boudoir

Chapter 150 Undercurrents surging
But what she is worried about is indeed a matter. Although she has only met Luo Mingzhu once, she has the impression that she is a very modest girl. Since she has already arranged a baby marriage, even if the marriage is not satisfactory, she has to settle it before she can be with her. People talk about relatives, how could such a thing be pulled out at this juncture?
She shook her round fan and squinted at Mrs. Nie. In her conscience, she didn't want to pay attention to the matter of the fourth room, but Mr. Xu was in Yu'an, and it was just a small effort to inquire about Luo Dashi's family background. After thinking about it Then he said: "It will take at least seven or eight days to write a letter. In addition, it may not be possible to inquire comprehensively immediately. It will take half a month anyway."

Seeing her nodding her head, Mrs. Nie immediately straightened her waist: "Don't be afraid of this one, the old lady's filial piety is still on the left and right, it doesn't matter if it's half a month or a month!" After speaking, she stood up again, and said with a beaming smile: "Please leave this matter to me." You, I will not delay your meal, I will thank you again after the matter is completed!"

Ruier sent her to the door, Yuegui came in and took a look at the food on the table, while putting it away to reheat, she couldn't help sighing: "If you don't delay eating, the food is already cold. If you delay, the food will still be cold." Must it be rotten?"

Haitang pouted and came over to help, and also said: "You also said to thank you after the matter is completed. If it is sincere, how can there be any reason to thank you afterwards?"

Liuli let them complain, pondered for a while, and went to the study to write a letter.

Although I told Nie that it would take seven or eight days to go back and forth, but in fact, it took four or five days to get there.In the past six months, she has made a lot of money selling calligraphy. Although Aunt Su has been unwilling to take it, she has already saved up the 20 taels of silver, and according to Ruier, they have saved a lot of money in Ruifeng Bank. With a few banknotes, now I finally don't have to go out of my way to call myself poor.With money in hand, it is much more convenient to do things. Now if you want someone to go to the street to bring something, although they will go in the name of Nine Girls, but if you spend two dollars to give a reward, the people who do things will run away It is obviously much faster.Therefore, when she writes letters to her masters and uncles, she usually adds money and goes fast.

Anyway, she will get back all the money spent from Mrs. Nie.

After finishing writing the letter, she handed it to Rui'er, remembering that Mr. Xu's letter said that Mrs. Mistress suffered from headaches recently, so she planned to ask Wu Yinzhong for some good medicine for gynecological headaches.

She called Yuegui over: "Dr. Wu has not been to the mansion these few days?"

The maids thought she was not feeling well, so they all surrounded her.She hurriedly waved her hands and said: "It's not that I'm sick, I'm asking Dr. Wu for some medicine for my wife." Yuegui then said: "Lin Lang just brought the girl rouge, saying that the third grandma is not feeling well these days, and passed on to Dr. Wu tomorrow Come into the mansion early in the morning, the girl might as well go to the long room to find him."

Lin Lang is the maid in Aunt Su's room, and now Aunt Su's supply of colored glaze is paid out with Aunt Su, so every month when Aunt Su doesn't come by herself, she has to send her maid to walk around from time to time.

After breakfast the next day, she took Haitang to the long room.First go to Aunt Su's room to say hello, Aunt Su is taking medicine.

"Mother is feeling unwell again?" Liu Li sat on the bedside and stroked her back.

Aunt Su smiled, "It's okay, it's just an old disease."

When she laughed, her cheeks plummeted. She has lost a lot of weight these days, and although there are no major problems, the days of taking medicine are more frequent than before.He Yuli now alternates between her and Aunt Chen's two rooms, sometimes she feels uncomfortable, and also stays in Aunt Chen's room for two consecutive days, the servants said privately that he has taken a fancy to Hui Er who is next to Aunt Chen.

Liuli knew that Aunt Su knew it too, but she didn't seem to care, at least Liuli couldn't feel it.At first she thought that after the fall of the Yu family, Auntie Su would be the victor, so it was reasonable to regain some territory in the long room, but now she felt that she didn't have He Qianli in her heart at all, and she was still as before, quietly. Be her elegant and generous aunt.

Liuli sized her up for a while, then moved her eyes to her temples.There are already a few white strands there, tarnished like faded years.

She patted her back lightly, and said casually, "The second girl hasn't come back for quite a while, right?"

Aunt Su nodded: "I still go back in the first month."

Ever since Aunt Su revealed Min Hua's life experience to the public, this big secret is no longer a secret. Min Hua came back not long after and cried for a long time at Aunt Su's lap, but Aunt Su didn't say a word, nor did she shed a tear Not out.Min Hua finally had no choice but to go.

Some people said that Auntie Su was heartbroken, but Liuli felt that she was hating.Her hatred for Yu Shi has spread to Min Hua in the past ten years, that's why she was so harsh to her before, even a little unreasonable, but in that situation she had to cover it up.Until she tore open the wound in her heart, she was finally tired and didn't bother to hide it.

But she is ruthless, but Min Hua is still righteous, and even came back to see her every now and then. Since Ma Weiqing married her, he has been promoted by the old man to two ranks, and now he is serving as a servant in the Imperial Academy, and he is very devoted to Min Hua One, every time Min Hua goes back to the mansion, he also comes back with her.The old man admired him very much, and was thinking about transferring him to be the head of the household department.Although the servants and the principals are of the same grade, the household department is rich in oil and water. How can it be compared with Qingshui yamen like the Imperial Academy?Now Min Hua hasn't returned to Ning for two months, and he doesn't know if something has happened.

Here she was absent-mindedly accompanying Aunt Su, when Heng Wei lifted the curtain and came in, saying: "Doctor Wu has come to the long room, can Auntie ask him to come in and have a look?"

Aunt Su said: "Forget it, let Third Mistress take a good look at him, I'm still taking medicine here, so I don't need him."

Hearing what Haitang said, Liuli knew that she was notified to come, so she said, "I've been having some headaches for the past few days, you go and tell him, after the consultation, Third Grandma invites him over, and I'll discuss some medicine with him .We will stay for lunch at noon."

Haitang agreed to go, Aunt Su looked at the beaded curtain dangling in the air, and looked back at Liuli: "The third grandma is probably happy. If she gives birth to a son, the family will be separated in the future. I'm afraid it might fall into her hands."

Liu Li said: "In terms of age, she is young, and in terms of the status of her natal family, the Xie family is half a class higher than her Ruan family. The Xie family and Ting Yu treat each other as guests, and have a very good relationship. It is not impossible to have male heirs in the future, or if not, it is okay. Letting life in the room, how can Auntie conclude that the power of giving will fall into Ruan's hands?"

Aunt Su looked at the ground, her tone was calm, but her volume was slightly lower than before, "I was in the main courtyard a few days ago, and I heard the old man talking to the old man, saying that the Xie family had a lot of contacts with King Qing, and the prince and the prince King Qing is a deadly enemy. Xie Fu, the father of the Xie family, is the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry. When he came back to Chunyang last time, didn’t he say that the Ministry of Industry was in charge of building a mansion for the General? Now the General’s Mansion is about to be completed. But suddenly someone filed a complaint against Xie Fu, saying that he had embezzled the government's money, and now the Holy Majesty is assigning someone to handle the case."

Liuli was slightly startled, Xie Fu had an affair with King Qing, didn't Hu Jin mention this back then?Could it be that the Xie family was really involved in the struggle between the crown prince and King Qing?If this is the case, unless Xie Fu has already become an indispensable right-hand man beside King Qing, otherwise, it will be too difficult for him to escape safely this time.This is a war between the princes, and no one will easily take the risk to intervene.

She asked Aunt Su: "Then the old man and the others have thought of something?"

Aunt Su sighed: "It's just that I didn't, that's why I estimated it this way. When are the members of the He family not protecting their own interests? Besides, yamen like the Ministry of Industry have never taken much weight in court struggles. At this time King Qing hasn't stepped forward to protect him yet, so they naturally won't. In fact, Xie's family is not as difficult as Ruan's, so keeping her is still beneficial."

After saying this, she lowered her head and took a sip of plain water.

Liuli was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and drank her tea.

The Xie family also had a place in the court, if King Qing was smart, he should keep Xie Fu no matter whether it was to win people's hearts or preserve his strength.He has not made a move now, and he may not necessarily stand by and watch. Even if he does not show up on the surface to avoid suspicion, there will definitely be some plans in the dark.It's not their turn to worry about these women.However, Aunt Su's words may make sense, the Xie family is not as difficult to deal with as the Ruan family, because usually people who are truly proud in their hearts, she is not so thick-skinned to compete with others.

As soon as the two of them had a conversation, Wu Yinzhong had already arrived with a medicine box on his shoulders.

When Linlang moved to a seat, Liuli said in the first sentence: "What's wrong with the third grandma?"

Wu Yinzhong smiled and said, "Congratulations to Miss Nine, she's going to be an aunt again!"

Liuli shook her round fan and pulled the corners of her mouth, and exchanged glances with Aunt Su.

After staying for lunch, Liuli went back to the room with the headache medicine and handed it to Ruier to send to Yu An together.

It is estimated that when the letter reaches Uncle Xu, it will be Liuli's birthday.In the first noon, the girls all brought birthday presents, and in the next noon, they still went to Wutongyuan to go to school, and in the evening they had dinner in Yishouyuan.Liuli was wondering if Guo Xia would be interested in participating, but Ren Ran stopped her before class began: "Miss Nine, go to the study, sir, I have something to explain."

Liuli hurriedly went to the study room, only to see Guo Xia was doing something in front of the desk with his back to the door.Liuli called out to Mr., and she turned around after a while, and said with a faint smile: "Is your birthday today?" Liuli bent down hurriedly: "Remember, Mr. Lao, it's today. The Shouyuan has prepared food and wine tonight, and some good friends gather together, I wonder if the master will give you a face?"

Guo Xia said, "If I go, you won't be able to enjoy yourself to your heart's content, so let it be. I have a small gift here for you to play with."

As she spoke, she turned her body, picked up a ruler from the desk, and brought a small satin box with countless swastikas printed on it, and held it in both hands and handed it to her.
