splendid heap

Chapter 125
Seeing the master's frown, Lingxin knew that she must be very conflicted, so she nodded and said: "This second cousin is a timid character, but today she behaved differently. You said those polite remarks, it can be seen that you were pushed into a hurry."

After finishing speaking, Lingxin took a peek at the master's expression, and then continued: "It's not that I'm proud of you, no matter who we are in the Marquis Mansion, we will not be happy for days and nights after hearing this letter. Seeing that the second cousin must have known something, otherwise she wouldn't have acted so positively, and kept saying that the third cousin was good. It can be seen that the second cousin got the letter early in the morning, and it is likely that they have other ideas. . ” The rest of the words are hard for the soul to say, so it can only be a reminder.

Shi Lin knew it just now, and she nodded unconsciously. She was a little suspicious of the second girl's motives just now, but now she can be sure that there is a ghost here, and she gritted her teeth. At least we have to wait until the matter of Uncle Li's family is settled, otherwise she will be robbed by others for nothing. Earlier, she only thought that if she appointed the second girl, she must be pulling Brother Tao. This is not difficult for her. It might be possible to please the eldest brother, and she made this effort to make sense, as long as she comforted her mother afterwards.

Now this matter looks not simple, and it is very likely that the Li family will be involved. Shi Lin felt that she was still careless, and she snorted secretly. It is not so easy to plot against her. Waiting and watching, but thinking of this, she frowned and asked Lingxin: "How do you see Miss Biao's illness?"

When Lingxin heard this, he couldn't feel his heart tremble, and secretly touched the purse in his arms. This was rewarded by his second uncle and wife earlier. She used to help her wife reward people, so she knew that there was a lot of rewards in it. Look at Madam The posture seems to be optimistic about the second cousin, and she feels a little troubled. She accepts the bounty from the second uncle and wife, and naturally knows what she is asking for. Although she didn't say the specific request, as long as the interests of her wife are not damaged , I have to help when I should help.

Thinking of this, Lingxin rolled his eyes, frowned and sighed deliberately: "Speaking of which, this second cousin is also very pitiful, she is actually afraid that the wind will blow her away in such a hot day, it shows that the illness is indeed serious, It's no wonder that I have to stay in the yard to recuperate, Madam, I don't dare to say anything else, but looking at the second cousin just now, I'm afraid she is really sick." Lingxin didn't know about the Li family's affairs, thinking that she was doing this for the sake of Good morning, young master. After all, she thinks Miss Cousin is really sick. Regardless of whether it is true or not, she is not willing to pay attention to it. Instead of marrying a sick second cousin to help her wife, it is better to marry the first cousin who is healthy. After all, they all came from the Duke's Mansion. According to the wishes of the old lady in the mansion, the first lady is no worse than the second lady.

Shi Lin heard Lingxin's words, and she felt a sense of loss, and she didn't know whether it was regret or relief. In short, she was tired and couldn't get up. Now she couldn't make a decision. After all, in terms of identity, the family Only Hui girl is the most suitable one. Apart from her, the fourth girl is also good in terms of identity, and the fourth girl is more popular with her than the second girl. If the uncle of the Li family does not come back, the fourth girl is the best choice. Almost, thinking of this, Shi Lin sighed and said: "Oh, it's a pity, this sister Qin is a little younger, otherwise she would be the most suitable, with good health and a pleasing temperament, and her mother's family is also..." Speaking of She didn't want to mutter about it anymore, after all, there was a lot of age difference, so it would be futile to say more.

Shi Lin's words surprised Lingxin quite a bit. It seems that my wife didn't think about the eldest cousin at all. This really made the second wife happy for nothing. Miss's health is not good enough for her family, but the fourth cousin is good for other things, but the age is not the same, so she won't let her young master wait for a few years in vain, even if their wife is willing to hold back her grandson and wait in the house The old lady and Master Hou will not agree, so the chances of Miss Big Biao are still great.

Thinking of this, Lingxin was relieved for the second lady and the others, but Lingxin didn't have to speak well to the second lady and Miss Da Biao, after all, their wives are smart, so just order a little bit by yourself, if you talk too much, you will be jealous Yes, she won't do it for a few taels of money, so she puts away the idea of ​​helping her to say good things, and just honestly supports the madam to go forward.

The master and servant were in no mood to talk for a while, and walked towards the old lady's yard silently, but they knew in their hearts that there might be a lawsuit to be filed when they met the old lady, after all, they came here to see their house It was Miss Nuan's excuse. Originally, they planned to go to Miss Nuan to see Miss Nuan first, so that it would be easier for the old lady to ask questions, but now who is in the mood to see Miss Nuan again? Yo, I can only go back first and then try to deal with it.

It's a pity that Shi Lin's master and servant were all wrong. Although the old lady was quite angry at this time, she didn't reach the point of asking angrily. She knew that her daughter was now the mistress of a mansion, and she still had to give her the face she deserved. Yes, besides, she deliberately let go of her daughter's trip to the East Back Garden. She was sure that the second girl would not satisfy her daughter.

Xia Hua was always by the old lady's side. She was very worried that the old lady would be angry because of the aunt's affairs. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, she guessed that the aunt would not be able to come back in a while. While playing the fan, he persuaded: "It's getting late for the old lady, take a look, but have you taken a bath?"

The old lady knew that the girl was caring, and when she thought of her daughter being so disobedient, she suddenly felt that Xia Hua was getting better and better. She took Xia Hua's hand and sighed: "Wait, I guess it's time to come back, alas , now you are the only caring person by my side."

Seeing the old lady's tone suddenly softened, Xia Hua couldn't help feeling sour. The old lady is old after all. If this happened a few years ago, she would definitely not have such a reaction, so she persuaded softly: "Auntie This is also kindness, it is really rare to treat sister Nuan so well, we should settle the old lady first, otherwise the aunt will blame herself when she sees that you are still waiting when she comes back."

When Xia Hua said this, the old lady glanced at her with a smile, and said angrily, "You! Why bother to cover up for that enemy? I don't know where she is going. What kind of temperament is my own daughter? She's too old to forget, she's afraid that I'll lie to her, so she doesn't give up and goes to investigate it herself, huh! It's better to go, so that she can give up, and I don't need to waste my time "After speaking, the old lady regained her shrewdness and narrowed her eyes. Although she was angry at her daughter for not believing her words, she also thought it would be better if she saw it with her own eyes, so that she would give up sooner.

The reason why the old lady is so confident is that, firstly, she asked Mama Shi to warn Eryatou and the others, presumably they have not had the courage to disobey her, and secondly, she has reached a tacit agreement with Brother Tao, and he gave up Eryato's marriage. The meaning of the government is to let the second girl out of the yard by herself, and the third is the most important. According to the report of the person I installed, the second girl is indeed sick, and the illness is strange. To pursue, no matter who it is, this result is also what she wants, and the second girl, brother Tao, should not even try to stand out. It's not because she is cruel, but because of the future of the Manchu people.

Thinking of this, the old lady still felt a sigh of relief in her heart, but she still remembered that for the sake of the Li family, the eldest son avoided going to the border town, and the second son never came to real power, which resulted in her own dignified first-class mansion falling into the same position as the ordinary second-class mansion. When the aristocratic family is almost done, the Li family will not be able to calculate this account. She can only calculate it with the two children who are related to the Li family. Besides, how many years has been eaten by her old man, the royal family is the most vengeful. No matter how much the Li family offends the emperor, she won't allow anyone to do it if she doesn't!

Xia Hua didn't know what the old lady was really thinking about, but after hearing this, she also agreed with the old lady's words in her heart. She knew that the second lady was really sick this time. Isn't it even more difficult? Although the old lady has selfish intentions and doesn't want her daughter to appoint the second lady, it is for the good of the aunt. The second lady is so weak that it will be difficult for her children in the future. At that time, the second lady will not be a help, but a drag , it would be better for my aunt to understand earlier, then nodded and said: "That's right, it's good if my aunt understands sooner, okay, old lady, let's rest first, you can't go to bed late."

The old lady thought she was right, and after listening to Xia Hua's words, she became more and more convinced that today's incident could convince her daughter, so she smiled and said to Xia Hua: "How can I not wait, if I don't have a good time tonight Er Tong said to girl Lin, there will be no such convenient time in the future, I have to plan more for girl Fang! That child is most like when I was young, he acts decisively, has a comfortable temper and is not shy, such a child is suitable When the mistress of the Hou's mansion, she is just like a little chicken. She is ill all day long, and she doesn't get angry when she speaks. How can she restrain the servants in the mansion like old fritters?" In the end It's her own granddaughter, she still doesn't have the nerve to bring Huihui along with her.

Xia Hua knew the reason for the old lady's pause just now, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the second young lady just doesn't fit the old lady's eyes!I can't help but sigh for the rough fate of the second lady. She is obviously the eldest daughter of a family, but she has a bad luck and has encountered all kinds of unfavorable fates. She has no elders who can support her. Why not, probably no one is willing to mention it, but these Xia Hua can only sympathize in private, she still has the old lady most in her heart.

The master and the servant were talking, when there was a voice of greeting outside, a little girl had already returned outside, "Go back to the old lady, my aunt is back."

Old Mrs. Shi was angry at this moment, she didn't say anything, she just sat on the head with a sullen face, waiting for her daughter to come in.Xia Hua didn't dare to push her too hard, as soon as she helped the old lady sit down, she hurried to the door, opened the curtain herself and waited for the auntie to come back.
