Chapter 63
When Huang Li mentioned it, the eldest lady regretted that she had lost her mind. She looked at her daughter and saw that she was also depressed. She quickly adjusted her expression and said with a smile, "Yes, thanks to Huang Li's mention, otherwise I would have forgotten it. Hurry up and get the melon first, and we two will talk after eating."

After Da Furen said this, Huang Li hurriedly continued: "Madam can remember these mundane things when she sees Miss at this time, but there are servants who will remember for Madam, you! Just feel free to joke and have fun with Miss. "As soon as she interrupted like this, the atmosphere rose, not only did the eldest lady laugh, but the fourth young lady also joined in the joke.

The eldest lady treated her confidant girl by her side fairly well, smiled and hurriedly ordered: "Okay, okay, stop talking here, hurry up and let Huang Yuan pack it up and bring it here, we are still waiting, yesterday Seeing that there are quite a lot of melons, you can also eat some along the way, so as to save your mouth."

Huang Li was really happy after listening to his wife's order. The melons sent by the second uncle yesterday were really good. They were not only beautiful but also delicious. I just want to eat, but I don't think I can eat it today, so I giggled and said: "Yes, I will talk about it now, and make Huang Ying and the others happy." Just as I was about to leave, I didn't want to stop again. Embarrassedly said: "Look at this servant, I'm really happy, but I'm confused. Now that this servant is gone, who will fan the madam and miss? Or call sweet potatoes or peach blossoms to come in and fan?"

Da Furen waved her hand indifferently and said: "What's the problem, it's not very hot at the moment, besides, there is an ice basin here, so it doesn't matter if you don't fan it for a while, you go quickly, don't worry about it." Call sweet potatoes and peach blossoms to come in."

Huang Li saw that Madam was probably going to have a private conversation with Miss, so she didn't say much, and said with a smile: "Okay, the servant girl will go down first, by the way, Madam Madam, do you want the servant girl to pour a cup of tea to drink first?" Soothe your throat."

The lady directly waved her hand and said: "Okay, we are so rambunctious, we are not thirsty, you should hurry up and get busy, don't talk about this, no matter how much you say, I won't reward you with more slices of melon." Oriole After listening to it with a smile, he didn't say much, nodded and went down.

After Huang Oriole went down, the eldest lady picked up the fan herself and asked, "Qin'er, what do you mean by looking at the old lady today?"

Fourth Miss knew that her mother was her for the exam, so she didn't hide it, and replied directly: "Is the old lady's meaning unclear? She was thinking of giving the eldest sister to the aunt to be her daughter-in-law. It's really funny. Could the old lady be able to be the master of the aunt? In other words, could the aunt be the master of the master and uncle? I think this matter is still a bit unclear. Look at Jin Liang, I am considered the first daughter of the Duke's Mansion, otherwise there is a second young lady in our family, who is really the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion." He said so, but his tone was sour of.

The eldest lady knows her daughter's heart knot. In front of the eldest daughter of the second young lady, her stepdaughter still has to bow her head. It is precisely because of this that she looks down on the second young lady, and she is sick all day without knowing it. What's the matter? I can't die. If I went there three years ago, wouldn't it be very satisfying? It not only swept away the barriers of my daughter, but also seriously injured the big girl in the second room. It really counted in one fell swoop. It's a pity that the girl was so fateful that she couldn't die .

Thinking about it this way, the eldest lady gritted her teeth and said: "This second girl is also useless. She has been overwhelmed by the eldest girl every day. As a result, our room is always a section shorter than the second room, and I am a majestic Mrs. Ren is controlled by others everywhere, after all, it is those two unpleasant people who have dragged us down, otherwise, depending on how happy you and your brother are as old ladies, how dare Mr. Lan give me a wink." Said When I saw that I was run over by Mrs. Lan's, I was so angry that my heart ached. I only sighed that my life was miserable, but my own sister-in-law couldn't suppress my younger siblings.

When the Fourth Miss heard this, she not only rolled her eyes secretly, but if you say her mother really has the ability to vent anger, she is no match for the second aunt, and she implicates the sick second sister by ramblings. You know, most of the reasons why my mother is under the control of my second aunt are because firstly, my mother has never learned housekeeping, so naturally I don’t know how to be a housekeeper, and secondly, my mother is always a bit greedy. Have you been caught everywhere?
Looking at her mother who was very unhappy because she thought of something she didn't like, the fourth lady's heart was off again. Anyway, she didn't like the second sister who fell down when the wind blows. If the mother wants to blame her, she can let her Go ahead, then smiled and said: "Mother, why bother to remember her, the third sister who is the most silent in this family is better than her in front of the old lady, anyway, she can't turn over with the old lady around, it's a pity It is useless for her to occupy the title of the eldest daughter of the first wife. Otherwise, it would be the elder sister's turn to lose face today. If it is said that the one who can match the status of the Ningxi Hou Mansion can only be the serious Duke of the State My daughter, how can I get close to my niece."

As for the identity, the eldest lady is the most touched. If she hadn't been recorded by her aunt in the past, how could she have been lucky enough to marry into the Duke of Wei's mansion to fill in the house? She might be someone else's concubine or just an ordinary person. The family's regular wife, life is not so tight, it's still as good as it is now, although the Duke is not at home, but he has money in his hands and a pair of obedient children, and there is no concubine at home to worry about all day long, as long as Being able to find the position of the eldest son of the Duke's mansion for her son, her life is considered complete.

Thinking of her son, the lady's eyes flickered unconsciously, she restrained her expression, left the unimportant second girl behind, coughed weakly, lowered her head and asked: "Speaking of which, the identity of this eldest girl is indeed not worthy of Brother Can Son, since the second master is only a military officer of the third rank, this is still a temporary post, how can he match the lintel of Lord Hou? Speaking of which, brother Can is only fifteen now, and it is still too early to get married. The young master has only been married for a year or two, and the young master is 21 this year, and he was already nineteen when we got married." After finishing speaking, he glanced at his daughter, waiting for her reaction.

Miss Si is only eight years old, how can she think so far, no matter how precocious she is, she just doesn't like the eldest sister gaining power, thinking of provoking the second sister to fight with the eldest sister, then she will look good at the joke, and then step on the second sister to let the old The wife hated her more and more, she didn't want to listen to her mother's words now, she seemed to be a little confused, and asked in surprise: "Mother, what does this mean? Could it be that my aunt is here this time to choose my cousin?" Daughter-in-law? In other families, cousins ​​who are as old as you are usually married! What’s the problem with getting married sooner or later?”

Seeing her daughter's ignorant and immature appearance, the eldest lady suddenly felt that she couldn't continue. After all, her daughter was only eight years old. If she wanted to get married to the Hou's mansion, it would not be impossible. Just because of the seven-year age difference between the two, this There are too many variables in the future, and it is not a good marriage with the daughter. The son wants to care but the daughter is also his own. Besides, based on the old lady's dislike for the two children in front, it is estimated that the aunt will not favor the third young master. Let him accept the title, the third young master does not have these supports, and he thinks that he can make his son fulfill his wish by relying on the power of his mother's family.

After all, it is her own daughter, the eldest lady was sure of her mind, she turned around with a smile and said: "Think about it, our second young master is [-] this year, and he hasn't married yet. Can Brother Can from this aunt's family Get married sooner? Since he is fifteen years old and has not yet engaged, it can be seen that this marriage also has its own hardships. If you don’t have twenty, you have to be eighteen or nineteen. In this way, it will take three or four years from the engagement to the marriage at the earliest. You said that during this period If something happens, the big girl can fix it, you must know that the big girl will be sixteen or seventeen by then."

The topic turned a little bluntly, Miss Si frowned unconsciously, knowing that what her mother wanted to say just now was definitely not what she meant, but she didn't understand what her mother wanted to say for a while, but since she didn't say it, it doesn't seem to be anything The important thing, so I put aside my doubts, thought for a while and said: "What's the problem? If you are engaged, what can happen? Didn't the eldest brother get married for many years? Married to the eldest brother, even the second brother is engaged, although they are not married yet, but if they pass the final exam this year, they will be married."

The eldest lady was blocked by her daughter, and she didn't know what to say next. She originally thought that if she used the second girl to interfere with the eldest girl's affairs, the old lady would never want the second girl to marry to the Ningxi Hou Mansion. At that time, it is impossible to say that my daughter will have a chance. Although it is said that Brother Can is seven years older than her daughter, if Brother Can and his young master are all married in their twenties, then the daughter will only be thirteen or fourteen. , and make the aunt a year or two late, and the daughter just reaches the age of the hairpin, which is not very good.

The lady was thinking just now, if her daughter married into the Marquis Mansion and got this help, wouldn't her brother Qing's title be more stable?But looking at her daughter's beautiful appearance and trusting eyes, she is unwilling to say this anymore. After all, there are too many variables in marrying into the Hou's mansion, and it is impossible to delay her daughter, so she said in an embarrassing way: "It's not that. Although the Hou's mansion is rich and noble, the old lady in their mansion likes her granddaughter, and now she has brought her own grandniece into the mansion. It seems that the old lady and your aunt will have a lawsuit. It’s not a big deal, and the big girl is likely to be delayed.”

These words still don't make sense, her mother doesn't have any extra feelings to care about the elder sister's good or bad, but Miss Si really doesn't want to say this anymore, anyway, the fact that the aunt's visit has nothing to do with their house, they just wait and see I'm free, just stir the water along the way. Thinking of the beauty, Miss Si smiled unconsciously, knowing that her mother would not say anything more, she nodded and said: "Well, that's really the case, forget it, leave them alone, We just wait to see the joke, and I don't know if the second sister will take advantage of my aunt's visit to do something?" This is what she cares most about.

The eldest lady frowned when she heard this, she really didn't want to see this weak second girl again, as long as she saw her, she would think of her dead mother, and reminded herself of the old lady who stood in front of the tablet of the dead every time. low.
