Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 225

Chapter 220 Nine

The eldest wife is melancholy.

Mrs. Yan had seized the opportunity and said, "Brother Wei is my grandson. This granddaughter-in-law is an outsider after all. We are the only family. What do you have to worry about, and you deliberately hide it from me?"

The daughter-in-law is an outsider?
The eldest lady wanted to ask a question, what about herself?Is it considered an outsider, and you, Mrs. Yan, are also a daughter of the Liu family, so isn't that also an outsider?

What a joke.

There seemed to be a beast in my heart that wanted to yell out loudly, but... the eldest lady tried to stop it, and the expression on her face loosened according to the old lady Yan's words.

After decades of getting along, although she dare not say that she fully understands her aunt and mother-in-law, she can still guess one or two thoughts about her.Ten years ago, they could take other people's lives without changing their faces.

what about now?

The eldest lady knew in her heart that even if she was her niece, it really made the old lady Yan cruel. What is a niece, even her own son, as long as it does not affect her position on the top of the pagoda in the mansion, she can easily abandon it.

It was also because of this that although the eldest lady usually kept a straight face, she knew that her actions were nothing more than trivial matters in the eyes of Old Madam Yan.Otherwise, he would have said her a long time ago, but for a while, it was just a few words of verbal training.

And it's all done in private.

"Mother..." The eldest lady seemed to be hesitant, but she quickly made up her mind. All these changes were seen in the eyes of the old lady Yan.

"Brother Wei's daughter-in-law's temper, a stupid person like me can see it. My daughter-in-law can't believe you haven't seen it. A person like her is so cruel. Before Brother Wei left, I asked her again and again My own son, as a mother, how can I not know. If Brother Wei's daughter-in-law followed, let alone the concubine, even the house girl didn't have one. All of this... She did it herself .”

The eldest wife said bitterly: "It's just that one is a concubine, so let's take care of it first. If she has the ability to give birth to a concubine in the future, I should look at her highly. I'm not a fool when it comes to concubines." But she absolutely can't use me to send things, and tamper with it. If it wasn't for brother Wei's extra thought. Mother, let alone great-grandson, even brother Wei might not be able to see her." Zhizi Mo Ruo .

Yan Wei left Beijing and went to a remote place.

Although there is a sign that he wants to be a good man, he wants to stay away from the mansion.

Not deaf and blind.

Her brother Wei couldn't guess the atmosphere in the mansion.

As the eldest wife spoke, she shed tears.I'm afraid I just cried out all the grievances I have suffered these days.Old lady Yan frowned, she didn't expect there were so many things inside.

Although she guessed that Wang Qiang must have made some small moves, she didn't expect...

For this granddaughter-in-law, I am satisfied, after all, I think it is very useful, and when she needs to charge forward, she can take the lead, unlike the eldest wife.But... After all, Yan Wei is the only one in the eldest line, if he really doesn't have a child.

Mrs. Yan hesitated.

The eldest wife took the opportunity to resign and leave, and when she returned to the yard, she sent someone to inquire about the elder.

"The master is in the study." His eyes drifted when the servant replied.

The eldest lady snorted coldly.

I knew in my heart that I must have gone to Aunt Qing again.

Now she and the old man don't even have any superficial affection.Originally, at least on the first and fifteenth day of every month, I would come to the yard to stay overnight.But now, he would rather have someone in the study than come over.On other days, he lingers in Aunt Qing's room every day.

The eldest wife just wanted to soft-spoken and seek peace.

After being treated like this by the great master, there is nothing left but full of anger.

After dinner, when the eldest wife heard that Wang Qiang had gone to the Rongshou Hall, all she could do was sneer again.

Half a month later, Yan Wei frowned again when she received several large boxes from the eldest wife.Just delivered a car a few days ago.

How long has it been?

Although it was in the name of a New Year gift.But Yan Wei was a little uneasy.

After thinking and thinking, I went to the study alone to write a letter.

In the middle of December, Qing Huan was busy arranging the New Year's gift. Last year, to avoid suspicion, the family moved to the suburbs.

Mother Xia is mostly in charge of the annual ceremony.

It's just that this year, Xia's mother has gradually stopped.

Seeing her old appearance, Qing Huan herself couldn't help watching her busy, so she had to take over.Fortunately, the maidservants are all accomplished, and Mancao has gradually adapted to the current life more and more.

It was snowing all over the sky again outside.

Because of last year's reasons, in October of this year, the mansion had already prepared things to protect against the cold.Qing Huan did not say that there is no need to prepare.Firstly, she has never experienced the situation in this life, and secondly, she is afraid that it will make people suspicious.

After all, although everyone tried their best to cover up what happened last year.

But if Qing Huan's reasons were true, they would not be on the table.All of this is nothing more than the fact that Rong Chen and Yan Jun, as husbands and younger brothers, trust their sister.

Qing Huan thought it through.

After such a wait, it will be December.

Fortunately, this year's winter is still much colder than usual, but compared to last year, I am well prepared, and it is only a little colder than before, but it is not impossible to adapt.

It is conceivable that the people all over the country can live through the cold winter with peace of mind this year.

Smoke rises from the smoker in the middle of the room.

Qing Huan patted Brother Jin who was fast asleep.

Speaking of this fragrant cake, it was sent from Princess Danyang's mansion, and it is only good for the human body.Rong Jin's health is not good, and he can't smell anything else, but this medicine is barely acceptable.

And in this room, because of the cold, the air is not good.

When the smoker is lit, it makes people feel much more comfortable staying in it.

Footsteps were heard outside.

The thick cotton curtain was lifted from the outside, and the first thing that caught the eye was a big smoked cage.

Ling Lu then stuck his head in.

Qing Huan said: "Do you want to smoke the clothes?"

Ling Lu showed a nice smile: "Isn't this fragrance smells good? Just don't waste it." After speaking, she stared at Qing Huan, as if to see her reaction.

Qing Huan smiled.

Linglu knew she agreed.

After a while, several servant girls came in with their clothes in their arms.

Ling Lu first put the smoker on the smoker, spread out the clothes one by one, and did it by herself.

Qing Huan looked a little dazed.

After Linglu finished everything, she turned her head and saw her bowing her head.

"lady?"

Qing Huan came back to her senses and smiled: "Is everything all right?"

Ling Lu shyly smiled: "Almost."

Qing Huan said with a smile: "You are becoming more and more capable."

Zero Lu covered her mouth.

"About your marriage, it's been so long, but do you have any ideas?" Qing Huan thought that there was nothing to do for the time being, so she pulled Ling Lu to talk.

Linglu has a good personality. Although he is not as calm as Mancao, he is not a person who makes a fuss.The color is also correct, and she is also the big maid and confidant next to her.

There are naturally many people who want to ask to marry her.

Not only some respectable mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law begged in front of him, but some people followed Rong Quan's words and begged in front of Rong Chen.

Rong Chen ignored it.

But I kept it in my heart after coming down several times.

Rong Chen is a person who easily loves his house and crows, he treats Qing Huan well, and takes care of Qing Huan properly.As for this maid, if he can have a good life in the future, he will also be happy.

It's just that Linglu has never had any news.

Even Mancao, who was sent by Qing Huan to inquire, did not come up with any news.Linglu, who has always liked these gossips, is like a gourd with its mouth sawn.

There is no way to ask, but Qing Huan dares to give an interesting answer.

In this way, a month has passed.

Qing Huan still couldn't help asking.

Zero Lu lowered her head.

Qing Huan asked again.

"Ma'am." Ling Lu walked in front of her.

Qing Huan looked up at her.

Ling Lu thought for a while and said, "Madam, don't you want me to serve you?"

Qing Huan was taken aback.

There seemed to be a sad expression on Linglu's face.

Qing Huan immediately came to her senses, shook her head and said, "Where are you going? I can't be more at ease with you. You and Mancao have been by my side since we were young. Our relationship is not comparable to that of other people."

"Although they are masters and servants, their feelings are like sisters."

"When I first came to Beijing, you two and Aunt Liu were always by my side. Not to mention serving me, I was willing to stay by my side for the rest of my life."

Ling Lu smiled again when she heard that.

Qing Huan had doubts in her heart: "What are you?"

Ling Lu's reaction was too strange, completely beyond Qing Huan's expectation.

"Madam." Linglu bit her lip, and seemed to make up her mind after struggling and said, "Madam, I'm actually used to calling you a girl. Let's call you a girl this time."

Qing Huan nodded involuntarily.

"Girl, I don't want to get married."

"Linglu, you..."

Ling Lu shook her head: "Girl, listen to me first."

Qing Huan had no choice but to wait aside and listen quietly.But in his heart, he thought that no matter what Linglu's reason was, he would definitely dispel her idea.

How can you not get married?

If you don't get married, what can you do in the future?
Although raising her for the rest of her life is nothing, Qing Huan herself is willing.Isn't that the case with Xia's mother, but this person without a family is different after all.Although Xia's mother was capable and capable all her life, she was also extremely miserable.In his later years, he still needs to be supported by others, although this is also an honor.

But to maintain it, Mother Xia still had to be careful.

Just as Qing Huan was thinking about it, Ling Lu continued to say: "I am also happy to see that Sister Mancao is married. It's not like I haven't thought about it in my heart, but..."

There was a trace of bewilderment in Linglu's eyes.

"Girl, if I don't want to, I don't want to marry someone I don't know."

Qing Huan was stunned.

Her thoughts were simply too unbelievable.

In this world, there are many examples of newlyweds seeing each other for the first time only when they are in the bridal chamber.A few people in Linglu are still good.

At least the rules are not strict, they are all met first.

If you want to, if it's appropriate, let them get in touch with each other in secret.

This was of course because Qing Huan was reluctant to part with the maids around her.

But I have to say that even if other people don't have this treatment, they can at least know who they are marrying.And many people in this world don't know it.

"Linglu..." Qing Huan's mouth squirmed.

Ling Lu had already knelt down.

The room fell silent, and it seemed that only Brother Jin's breathing could be heard, who was sleeping heartlessly on the bed.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still two people in the room, one was sitting and the other was kneeling on the ground, silent.You have to think that there is no one else in the room.

Ling Lu knew that she was afraid of making Madam sad, but she still gritted her teeth and knelt down.

This is probably her only waywardness.

……

When Rong Chen came back, he heard Qing Huan sigh.

"what happened?"

Qing Huan glanced at him and turned her head away.

She hasn't figured it out yet, so she really doesn't want to tell Rong Chen.

But... an hour later.

After Rong Chen had washed up and was about to go to bed, Qing Huan was still standing there, seeming to have infinite troubles.As a last resort, Rong Chen got up and pulled her onto the bed.

"What's the matter?"

Rong Chen's voice is gentle and caring.

Qing Huan said unconsciously: "It's not about Linglu."

By the time he realized it, Rong Chen had already heaved a sigh of relief, and his brows relaxed.

Seeing this, Qing Huan felt a little guilty.

Presumably, his behavior just now caused Rong Chen to misunderstand.

Feeling very guilty for a while.

Rong Chen was tired all day, so he just pulled Qing Huan into his arms.

Breathing is a little heavy.

Qing Huan couldn't bear it in her heart, and she didn't run away, instead she lay down in his arms again.

"What's the matter?"

Maybe it was because of tiredness, or because Rong Chen's voice was a little confusing.

Qing Huan said in a daze: "It's not a matter of Linglu. I don't know what she thinks. Mancao has been married for almost half a year. But when it was her turn, she even told me that she didn't want to marry. No What are you willing to marry? Although it’s not that you can’t afford her, you are willing to support her. But if you don’t marry, how will you live in the future?”

Even Yan Jun wants to...

Linglu is already there, and she will be an old lady after waiting.

Although there are also sayings that female juniors hold gold bricks.

But what Qing Huan is more convinced of is a marriage of the right age and family status.

Even though she and Rong Chen had a happy and happy life after marriage, her mind has never changed.

It turned out to be a matter of zero dew.

Rong Chen sighed and asked, "If you don't want to marry, why do others insist on you?"

"Of course I don't want to." Qing Huan said in a low voice: "But what can I do, I have to marry when I reach the age. Otherwise, I will be gossiped by others, and a word can kill a person .”

"What if someone is protecting you?"

"I..." Qing Huan was silent.

Obviously, she already knew what Rong Chen meant.

If there was someone who thought the same as her, she could support it, but Yao Peng forced her.

Is it for her harm or for her good?

Qing Huan couldn't help sighing.

Mingming has always felt that his two maids save worry and effort.

But why did it come to the issue of marriage.

Something went wrong.

Qing Huan became agitated, and directly arched into Rong Chen's arms, closing her eyes.

...,

Just as Ling Lu waited anxiously.

Mancao was called over by Qing Huan, and the master and servant shut themselves in the room and whispered.

"What? Linglu, she actually..." Mancao probably guessed that Linglu's marriage might have some twists and turns, but she never thought that it was because she didn't want to marry.

Thinking of this, Mancao was silent.

If it was someone else, it wouldn't be Rong Quan's words.

what will she do.

Mostly it was unwillingness in the heart, but it would not show it on the surface, but sincerely thanked the master for his kindness.Other than that, there is only silence.

After all, the two have different personalities.

What Linglu can do, she really can't do it.

I have to say that she is envious of Linglu.

At least she dared to think and do.

Man Cao suddenly raised her head and looked at Qing Huan.

Before she spoke, Qing Huan waved her hand: "You don't need to say it, you must have the same idea as me." They all have ideas, but dare not do it.

Or it may be hindered by family members, or by the relationship between ethics and ethics.

But Linglu dares to...

So why not support it.

I want to get married for her own good, and I hope her life will be happy.

But since she didn't want it in her heart, why bother to force it.

Moreover, there are quite a few self-combed people in this world, and there are even more servants who never marry for life.One more Linglu is not much, one less her is less.

Qing Huan finally figured it out.

Just didn't tell Linglu.

Linglu learned about it from Man Cao Na a few days later.And she immediately went to see Qing Huan.

The master and servant looked at each other. ,

Qing Huan suddenly smiled and said: "Since you don't want to, then don't marry. After all, I can protect you. If you change your mind and ideas in the future, let's discuss it again."

"Everything is up to you."

Ling Lu really laughed at this time.

After that, Linglu's marriage was put on hold.

Some people asked unsuccessfully, although they felt strange in their hearts, they could see Linglu happily every day.And Qing Huan's attitude towards her was as good as ever.

Do not……

Or trust her more.

Naturally, no one dares to have small thoughts and small actions.

On New Year's Eve of this year, Qing Huan did not go to Dongrong Mansion.

Instead, Rong Chen passed by alone.

Rong Tian was naturally very displeased, and scolded Qing Huan round the corner.

Qing Huan didn't care when she heard the wind.

She was really scared.

If you just go by yourself, it's okay.

But Rong Jin couldn't follow.

Although Rong Tian had a different attitude towards this grandson, there were more people who hated Rong Jin over there.

After the new year, Yan Jun's marriage really came to the fore.

Qing Huan took Rong Jin to the Yan Mansion several times in a carriage.

Yan Jun also suddenly grew up overnight, like the wicker, she grew taller.

In the past, someone who was only about the same height as Qing Huan suddenly became a head taller than her.

Don't say anything else.

This result raises the first question.

The previous clothes didn't fit well, and some of them were too short even though they hadn't been worn.

In desperation, Qing Huan took the clothes that Rong Chen hadn't worn and shortened them, while instructing Chun Zhi and the others to make new clothes and wedding clothes, and sent someone to inform Qiao Chu.
