splendid heap

Chapter 62
The third lady was very happy, but she didn't explain, she only glanced at the stunned bamboo branch, smiled and said: "What do you think, what did I come to Auntie to do with the silk thread?"

The bamboo branches were stunned by the young lady's question. Looking at the silk threads in their hands, there were indeed a few colors that were lacking in their house. If my aunt was good at needlework, there were always more needles and threads in the house than in other places. They sometimes If any silk thread is missing, it is likely to be found by the aunt, but they are not here for the silk thread at this moment, and they have to go to the wife later, it is not good to hold the silk thread like this.

Aunt Li and Yuchi saw that Zhuzhi didn't feel happy for a while, they didn't think it was funny, Aunt Li insisted that she couldn't joke with Zhuzhi, but Yuchi didn't have such worries, she immediately smiled and said: "It's really a waste of your usual cleverness Now, I still don't understand, although it is inevitable for Madam to know, but holding something in your hand is always a reason, even if Madam wants to say something, she can't go too far, do you think this is the case?"

When Yuchi mentioned it, Zhuzhi embarrassedly said, "Ah! ' He said, blushing and thanking: "I'm really confused, thank you sister Yuchi, isn't this just a ready-made excuse, whether you believe it or not, it is always a catchy reason, and I will talk about it elsewhere. The silk thread here is fine without my aunt." After speaking, she tightened the silk thread in her hand tightly, this is the lady's excuse, and she must not lose it.

Everyone was happy to be made such a fuss by her, but because of the main courtyard in front of them, they had many eyes and ears, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud, and only looked at each other, which was considered tacit understanding.

Aunt Li saw that she had nothing to explain, so she hurriedly said to Miss San in a soft voice: "Okay, Miss San should go to the front and wait. Auntie will come later, but she dare not go to the room together." In front of people , even if she is the girl she trusts the most, Aunt Li calls her daughter Miss San very politely. This is the sad part of being a concubine.

After hearing this, the third lady understood, and she also understood Auntie's difficulties, and she also understood her fierce opposition to her idea of ​​being a concubine just now. This kind of identity goes to the cousin's house and the status is very different from that of the aunt. For example, Aunt Ma in their family is much tougher than her aunt because she is a good concubine. Madam doesn't dare to embarrass her too much. I went to my cousin's house, but there was still a real aunt protecting me.

The third lady felt that as long as she rushed to give birth to a son, she would have nothing to be afraid of. Not only her status but also her wealth would be much more than that of marrying a concubine. She believed that her aunt would never give much to the concubine, but her grandson would be It's different, after all, the grandson of the concubine is also the son of his own son, isn't it?Besides, in terms of status, the son born with his cousin is considered the grandson of the Hou family, and he has more status than the son of the concubine who went out of the mansion. Can the cousin, the rightful son, not protect his son?

However, Miss San thinks about her aunt's attitude. In the current situation, these things don't seem to be so easy to achieve. She can't let a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet grind herself up and tell her the pros and cons one by one. Well, if I can find my aunt to help her see her in-law's family, that would be a good way out, alas!All we can do is wait and see, so he hurriedly collected his expression, nodded, and cooperated with his aunt and said indifferently: "Well, thank you for the silk thread, I will go now."

Seeing the indifferent expression of the young lady, Zhu Zhi knew it was because she was afraid of showing her appearance outside, so she also restrained herself, only bent over to Aunt Li, and helped the young lady to walk out of the courtyard.

Seeing their master and servant walking away, Yuchi hurriedly supported Aunt Li, and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't be sad, Auntie, haven't you met now, and I can talk more when I have a chance, Miss is looking more and more serious now. Well, it’s better for Auntie to feel more at ease, the young lady will point at you in the future.” Then she helped Auntie Li to walk into the house, and they had to go to the front to wait on them later, Auntie might have cried just now, she I have to help clean it up again, otherwise it will be bad if my wife finds out that something is wrong.

In fact, they don't have to worry about it today, because the second lady got the same accurate words from the old lady, and she was happy that she would never say anything more to the third lady and the two aunts. So I sent someone to say that there is no need for my aunt to serve, and that the third lady doesn't have to wait to greet her when she comes. She felt uneasy, so the third lady and Zhu Zhi only went to the madam's yard for a while, and then Zi Tong, the eldest girl beside the madam, sent her out with a word.

The third lady, the master and the servant, were eager to see the madam. Once they heard this, they didn't stay long and just thanked them, and hurried back. The delay in the aunt's yard was a bit long today, they did not see Zitong's contemptuous gaze behind them as they walked ahead, but even if they did, they would not dare to be dissatisfied, these Zitongs are Madam The proud girl, let alone a lady from a concubine like her, even a young lady and a young master from a direct line would call her sister when they saw her.

Seeing Zitong heading in the direction of the third lady, Zicao sneered, shook her head unconsciously and said: "Okay, don't look down on her, she is a lady anyway, don't always look at her." She is not pleasing to the eye, if one day you fall into her hands, you will suffer."

Zitong said disdainfully: "I have nothing to shame people, why bother to be afraid of her, besides, I will be like this if she doesn't behave like this? What I despise the most is that she deliberately took something when she went to the backyard, As if you had no choice but to say that the needleworker in our backyard is the best? All the embroiderers in the mansion have nothing to eat, so they won’t go to the embroidery room to get anything they need! Who are you fooling, can’t we be fools?”

Zicao sighed, and persuaded in a low voice: "Okay, okay, the eldest lady is still waiting in the room, if you let her hear what you said, it will be another lawsuit, and if there is a quarrel between the two ladies at that time , do you think you can get it? Don’t worry about this salty radish, it’s serious to work as an errand, don’t you see that even the wife doesn’t care about her? What kind of insight do you have with this.”

Zitong just couldn't see it for a while, she was happy to be told by Zicao, she wrinkled her nose and said: "Yes! I am a carefree person, just you guys are calm and carefree." After saying that, she said to herself The one laughed "噗呲", afraid of being heard by the eldest lady in the room, he hurriedly covered his mouth again, and the two of them, Zicao, laughed a few times.

It’s not as different as in the two-bedroom courtyard. The Dafang’s here is much simpler, because Huihui, the eldest daughter of the Dafang, doesn’t need to greet the Dafu when she is grounded, and there is no aunt in the mansion because the Duke of the country has been in the border town all the time. Greetings to Da Furen or something, so the Zhihe Hall where Da Furen lives is particularly quiet, and the people who serve her seem lazy.

Earlier, the place where the two wives were in charge was a small flower hall near the yard between the big house and the old lady, so after finishing the housework, the big lady came back earlier than the second lady, and now the big lady has come to her Please Ann's Fourth Miss has spoken.

Because there was no outsider, the mother and daughter leaned on the couch outside together, and the one who fanned them behind them was Huang Li, one of the four yellows, the lady's personal maid, who was considered a confidant, so the two of them had no scruples about talking.The eldest lady picked up her daughter's slender and tender wrist, and looked at the light yellow old beeswax bracelet against the light coming in. Not to mention it was really a good thing, it was even in size and the color was right, and it was covered with There are beautiful net-like ice cracks, and the lady fell in love with it at the first sight.

Although Miss Si also liked it, she saw her mother smacking her lips in surprise, and hurriedly said: "I look good, but unfortunately, my wrist is a little thinner, and it looks a bit big when I wear it. Why don't you give it to your mother? Anyway, I wear it again." No, the old lady won't say anything if you think about it." After speaking, she was about to scroll down.

Although the eldest lady is a money-gathering temperament, she will not be greedy for her daughter's things, but seeing her daughter being so filial to her, she still feels good in her heart, so she stopped and said: "Okay, mother has it herself, how can I ask for your things?" , besides, since the old lady rewarded you and gave it to me, it would be bad, and if the old lady finds out about it one day, it will be a good time to suffer again."

After hearing this, Miss Si hurriedly said: "It's okay, I don't need to wear this bracelet every day. Where does the old lady remember what we wear on our wrists every day? The old lady probably has a lot of these bracelets. Seeing that the box that Xia Hua took out was taken casually, and there were five bracelets in it, but it still seemed empty, maybe the old lady doesn't even remember which bracelets she admired."

After hearing this, the eldest lady smiled and said: "It's good if you have this heart, mother is happy in her heart, she doesn't have to get good things to miss me, the old lady already dislikes me because I don't have a dowry and I'm just a registered daughter-in-law, and I don't have much knowledge. , I usually do things out of line, she still wants to find fault with me, not to mention that if she finds out that I am greedy for my daughter's things, don't talk about my face, I guess I won't even save half of my face One." Speaking of this, he smiled wryly.

When Miss Si heard this, she had no choice but to rest her thoughts of persuasion. It was her mother's heart disease that she didn't want others to mention it, and she seldom mentioned it. If she said it today, it can be seen that she has a deep resentment towards the old lady. Who is to blame?Mother is indeed short-sighted and greedy for money, these things are engraved in her bones, I am afraid that it will be hard to change, plus father is not at home all year round, if something happens in the house, who can mother ask for support?Fortunately, my grandfather's family is powerful and there is an uncle to support my mother, otherwise my mother's situation would be even more difficult. Thinking about it this way, Miss Fourth is in a bad mood.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were not in a good mood for a while, Huang Li, who was playing the fan, looked at something wrong, rolled her eyes, and hurriedly turned around: "Hey! Ma'am, didn't the second uncle send some melons and pineapples yesterday? Well, you ordered them to be put into the well water to perish yesterday, and you said that they were reserved for the young lady and the young master, so it may be just right to take them out for the young lady to use now."
