Chapter 36

Seeing the hopeless appearance of Yu'er and Lu'er, Dongxue sneered shamelessly, Qiutang glanced at the old lady's inner room, stared at Dongxue who was laughing, and said angrily: " Why are you crazy? If the old lady hears this, you'll be fine. Why are you getting smaller every day? What do you care about with the little girls? They've gone through a battle, so you should be afraid Yes." After all, Dong Xueren was more honest, and what he said was to the point.

Qiu Tang didn't mean to talk about Yu'er and Lu'er, but she just felt ashamed seeing their petty appearance. When Dong Xue said it, she knew that she was impatient just now, so she turned her head to look at the old lady's inner room. , although I didn't hear anything, but my heart was still shivering. Looking at Yu'er and Luer's two aggrieved expressions, she was somewhat embarrassed. She was also unwilling to pull down her face and say some soft words, so she held her breath and remained silent.

Xia Hua had something on her mind, seeing them frozen with the door, she hurriedly smoothed things over and said in a low voice: "Okay, okay, there's nothing important to talk about, so I went up and was watched by others. A joke is a trivial matter, and it delays the matter." But it’s a big deal, Dong Xue, you take Yu’er outside to clean up, Qiu Tang goes to the big kitchen to take care of Chun Liu and the mothers in the kitchen to have breakfast a little later, Lu’er and I stay here.”

The four of them convinced Xia Hua, and they said that Xia Hua was the No. We should split up.

The old lady and Mama Shi didn't want to know what kind of official business the girls were doing outside. After the girls left, Mama Shi combed the old lady's hair neatly, and was about to put it on for the old lady. Putting on the jewelry, I didn't want to be stopped by the old lady, knowing that the old lady was in a hurry, so I put down the jewelry in my hand, bent down and lowered my head to the old lady's ear and whispered back: "The news from outside has come, this auntie's house is troubled this time. It seems that the in-laws are forcing the uncle to agree to the marriage between the next son and the cousin of Mu's family. Our aunt was afraid that the uncle would just accept it in a hurry this time, so we rushed back to think about choosing a seat from our own family. Miss married."

In fact, Mama Shi wanted to say that the aunt wanted to pick Miss Second, but thinking of the old lady's attitude towards Miss Second, she could only swallow her words. willing to bring it up.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, the old lady snorted and said, "What can you hide for her? I don't know what she's thinking when I look at her. Isn't she just looking for the second girl? I think she is short-sighted, and she just sees her." The profit in front of me, the girl who does not live up to expectations, wasted my past teachings. She has been married to the Ningxi Hou Mansion for so many years, but she still can't hold on to an old lady who has no experience. Now I want to let go, I really don't understand, what's so good about this Mu family, it's just a second-rank servant of the Ministry of Rites." There was indescribable contempt in this tone.

The old lady's sudden anger scared Mama Shi so much that she didn't dare to vent her anger. She wished she was a shadow. You must know that the old lady's scolding is not something they can listen to. Even if she loses face, she is still a Slave, how did you hear the old lady's gaffe? If one day the old lady looks down on her, these are her sins. I also secretly rejoice that she was careful not to say that the aunt intended to marry the second lady. As for the old lady As long as the wife doesn't know what she knows in the end, as long as she doesn't say it, it's none of her business.

Maybe the old lady also knew that she had lost her composure. These rich old ladies pay more attention to appearance and manners. Once she said something, she would regret it very much, so she looked through the bronze mirror at Mama Shi who was standing beside her. She honestly lowered her head, pretending she didn't hear it, that's fine, she believed in this old man who had been with her for many years, so she coughed lightly, and said lightly: "Little girl Lin is having a hard time too! She The most temperament is to report the good news and not the bad news. I am afraid that she will deliberately hide something that she doesn't want me to know. That's why I asked you to inquire more. You have done a good job, but forget about this today, don't let people understood."

Mother Shi knew that the old lady was beating her, and told herself not to tell anyone about her behavior. After all, the mother was worried about her daughter and spied on her daughter's home, but it was a bit shameful. As for the matter, why don't you know the old lady's selfishness, otherwise it would be a waste of her to manage the news from various places for the old lady for many years, so she was busy and said: "Don't worry, old lady, I'm sorry, besides, there is no such thing in the world. Our old lady is so worried about her daughter who has been married for many years, Aunt Lin also knows that you love to worry about it the most, so she hides things from you, for the sake of Auntie, you must relax your heart."

These words sounded pleasant to the ear, and the old lady was so upset, she felt that she secretly inquired first because she was worried about her daughter's family. "When I do this, I don't care if she understands or not. I gave birth to a daughter like her. When I was young, I raised her in a precious and precious manner. I was afraid that she would be arrogant and would not be ashamed to complain to me. There is a way to inquire about it in private, and I really want to think about how to help her, alas, children are debts!"

Mother Shi still believed what the old lady said. When the aunt was at home, not only the old lady doted on her, but the old man also loved her very much. Even the uncle and the second master let everything go. Even if they got married separately, the habits developed over the years cannot be changed at once. Whenever the uncle and the second master have anything to do, they can still be close to Aunt Lin and her.

But Mama Shi knows that after all these years, it is still a little different. The current Duke of the State is also the uncle. The aunt and wife are divided, and even the old lady has a little estrangement, let alone the second master. The second grandma and the eldest lady have already made the idea of ​​the father-in-law and the second master. The former brothers The friendship is almost gone.

It's not easy to answer the old lady's words randomly, Mama Shi can only stand aside as if she can't hear her, thinking about something, she is the old lady's confidant, how can she not know the old lady's mind, and Ning Xihou The old lady in the house is naturally very willing, but what she wishes for is not the eldest daughter of the family, Miss Shi Er, but the eldest daughter of the second room, Shi Fangxin, who happens to be only two years younger than the young cousin. People match well.

But Mother Shi thinks this is very mysterious. After all, the second master is just a third-rank Dingyuan general. How can the eldest daughter of his family be worthy of the son of the Hou family? Even though the son is his own young cousin, he can't force him The old lady of the Ningxi Hou Mansion and the Lord Hou agreed to this far-fetched marriage. The old lady probably thought it was too difficult to handle, so she wanted to know the inside story of the Hou Mansion. Knowing what her own daughter thinks, in order not to marry that girl from the Mu family, she will definitely choose the eldest daughter of the Duke of the country, and the eldest daughter of the second master's family is extremely difficult to consider.

It is for this reason that the old lady did not hesitate to make people feel ashamed, and sent her, a confidant, to handle this matter. Now the news has come, but it is a pity that there is nothing specific and useful. You must know that the news can be obtained without asking them. Guess what, what the old lady wants to know most is the attitude of Lord Hou, but who is Lord Hou? Even flies and mosquitoes don't even think about flying close.

The old lady naturally understood the joints that Mama Shi could communicate with. She didn't answer Mama Shi's words, and didn't care too much. I understand, but I also have my own thoughts, and I can't tell her clearly for a while, now for the sake of my daughter, the villain can only be an old woman like me." Although she said this very vaguely, but She knew Mother Shi could understand.

Mama Shi knew that the old lady would not say this for no reason, so she hurriedly tried to persuade her: "The old lady is true, our aunt is the most caring, how can she not understand that the old lady has a whole heart for her, even if she can't figure it out now, But I will definitely be grateful in the future, most of the loving mothers in this world should be old ladies, aunts are smart since they were young, how can they not understand."

The old lady who said this was ironic in her heart, and for a moment she brushed away the worries that had started since she received her daughter's letter, and she also made up her mind, so she said firmly: "Okay, now it's time to say hello to dinner It's time, don't be busy with these things, after a while you are watching people are going to leave, go to the second girl, I haven't seen her for a long time, she is weak, this hot day makes her a little girl My family dragged my sick body to see my old woman, I really couldn't bear it, I am old and I don't want to move, so you go to see her for me, and you have to know what to say."

Mother Shi sighed secretly when she heard this, knowing that the old lady had made up her mind to stop the aunt's idea, but she was afraid that the aunt would have trouble with her, so she thought about taking action from the second lady first, and maybe she could arrange it first, so that The aunt let go of her own mind first, this is a way to have the best of both worlds, but unfortunately this is not good for the second lady, but although she has no ill feeling towards the second lady, she is an old lady, so naturally she prefers For the old lady, I can only tolerate as much as I can in private, after all, this child is really too pitiful.

Fearing that the old lady would misunderstand that she was not dedicated, after the old lady gave her orders, Mama Shi hurriedly responded: "Yes, the old lady will just take care of it, the old slave knows how to behave, this time I am going to take care of the sick second young lady for the old lady, The poor old lady is full of kindness! In the future, when the Duke comes back, he will definitely be grateful to the old lady, that is, if anyone knows, he should praise our old lady for her kindness."
