Chapter 70 The Zeng Family?

In one day, in Madam Li's heart, the young lady's intelligence is unmatched. It is natural to tell the young lady about these things. Maybe, the young lady will have unexpected ideas, so she seriously recalled: "Their family is the same as the aunt's family. The relationship between the young master and the young master was also briefly mentioned in the letter just now, so I don’t need to talk about this, the only thing is that his master is a character.”

What is this called?Isn't it possible for a person to become the highest official of the second rank?Huihui smiled unconsciously, fearing that Mammy would be annoyed, she hurriedly stopped her smile, nodded and said: "That's natural, if there are any senior officials from the second rank who are not smart enough, I won't talk about it, Mammy just cares about it." Tell me about the relationship between his family and my aunt's? I wonder if this trip is unusual?"

Nanny Li also felt that it was unusual. If the aunt came to meet her daughter-in-law, she shouldn't have brought an outsider to the house. After all, she had to be seen by her cousins, so it was inevitable for Master Zeng. I have to see you too, after all, those who have turned around can be regarded as family friends, can't they?Then the question arises, how can one's own daughter-in-law let other men look at it first, what if there is an accident?

When the young lady who listened asked, Nanny Li frowned, unable to think of a reason, she naturally did not hesitate, and said directly: "No, the wife of the Zeng family should be quite kind. People can still talk, by the way, although the master of the Zeng family has a good relationship with Lord Hou because of his wife, but because one is a military officer and the other is a civil servant, the two are not very close."

When Huihui heard this, she knew that the relationship between the Ningxi Hou Mansion and the head of the Zeng family might not necessarily be good. Most likely, it was a personal relationship between the wives of the two families. However, after a woman gets married, the people she associates with will change with her husband's family. , no matter how close they used to be, if the family is not willing, it can only be a private relationship. The Zeng family must have a house in Beijing. How can the son of the Zeng family live in Ningxihou's mansion?But these are not things that she, a woman in the inner house, can know. Since her brother said nothing happened, she naturally let go, then nodded and said: "That's it! It seems that the relationship between the two families is normal, and now I don't understand what happened to my aunt. The intention is to let go first."

Mother Li sighed and said, "That's not true. Forget it, we will hide anyway. Besides, there are outsiders, old ladies, and they will not be willing to let the young lady go out. This will be more beneficial to our actions. Come on, miss, don't worry about this, first tell the mother what your plan is for this Miaoer, I'm beating my heart, I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, it will really be exposed." After finishing speaking, I thought of the second lady's words As a human being, I'm really a little worried. That master is not a kind person, and he has changed a lot compared to the eldest lady in their room.

Naturally, Huihui also knew Mammy's worry, seeing that Mammy could no longer explain why, she could only put aside the Zeng family's affairs first, nodded and said: "Well, it can only be like this now, as for Miao Son?" After finishing speaking, Hui Hui still sighed, raised her eyes to look at Mammy and said, "Do you know that in the past, I thought about our brothers and sisters living in this mansion, except that there is no help for each other, and everything can only be messed up. I can live, and now that I know that my father may have plans, I naturally have to plan something for my brother."

After hearing this, Nanny Li's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "This is true! If you want me to say, Miss should wake up earlier. Although we don't have to argue with them, it can't be successful at all and we have no defense Well, in case someone else still wants to keep us from living, no matter how anxious the time is, I don’t know much about the eldest and young master, and people are not common, his yard is really messy, This is thanks to the fact that there are few people in the yard, otherwise the sky would be turned upside down?" She was dissatisfied when talking about this.

Seeing that Mammy's breath was a little unstable, Hui Hui hurriedly stopped Mammy, and said with a smile: "Mama, really, I became anxious again, your body is really not suitable for getting angry, the reason why I am so similar today Isn’t it just to get her back, I want her to watch the yard for my brother, so that those people don’t have to be lawless. Earlier we had no way out, so naturally we didn’t dare to do anything, and my brother often said let me Never mind, he himself seldom goes back to the yard because of his studies, and he came here to be out of sight and out of mind. Now it's different. When Uncle Er Bing comes back, I have nothing to be afraid of. It's a big deal and I don't want anything. I will take you with me. A few defected to my father."

It can be seen that it was a child's talk, but it also made Nanny Li show off her face, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, what did we do wrong? Why bother to escape, do you want to get famous if you escape? The young master will What censures did you encounter? Have you thought about these things carefully?" She became serious as she spoke, but she knew that her master had a good idea, dare to think and do it!But she can't really think this way, if her reputation is ruined, how can she treat her deceased wife.

In fact, it's no wonder Li Nanny is in a hurry, Huihui really thought about leaving. At that time, she didn't know that when Uncle Erbing came back, she had thought that there were too many people in this mansion who didn't want to see them. In the past, she had never been out of the house, so it was difficult for others to know that there was still the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei in the Duke of Wei's mansion, and no one thought to look for her after she left.

Since outsiders don't know that there was a second lady in their family's mansion, it won't affect the reputation of the mansion much. Huihui feels that for the sake of other ladies in the mansion who have not left the court, the wives will only use the second lady as a second lady. The matter of her leaving was kept under wraps, Huihui reckons that if she really leaves, as long as her father-in-law doesn't ask, these people in the mansion can't just say that she died of illness, or they might just come here It was silent, as if the eldest daughter of himself had never existed in the mansion.

But these can only be thought about, Huihui naturally understands what Mammy is thinking, Mammy will never be willing to give up her status as the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion easily, speaking, Mammy's thoughts are also right, In ancient times, identity was very important no matter who you were with, especially with women. Without a good background, it was impossible to enter the gentry circle. Even a woman from an aristocratic family could marry into a high-ranking family as a regular wife. But if it's Bai Ding or a woman from a merchant's family, don't even think about it, the level is daunting.

Huihui knew that for her future, Mammy would not even mention those thoughts of running away. Even if she was willing to marry into an ordinary family, it would have to be a young lady who married from the Duke's mansion. This is Mammy's insistence, unless There are irresistible factors, otherwise I will have to endure until I get married. Afraid that Mammy will be worried, Huihui hurriedly comforted me: "I just said it casually, Mammy, don't worry, there is a brother here, I won't do it too." Reluctant to let go."

After hearing this, Nanny Li still felt dissatisfied, what is Qingli, don't even think about it!But with Miss's temperament, it's good to be able to say that she doesn't leave lightly. Fortunately, she won't leave Miss's side. If you watch her every day, can she make her do something wrong?Then he took a step back, nodded and persuaded: "It's right to think so, what's wrong with life? You said that because you haven't seen life outside. You see that we are living worse than other people in the house. But compared to those ordinary people outside, it can be said that there is a world of difference."

Mother Li paused for a while when she said this. After all, not to mention the young lady, even the big girls in the mansion live better than the girls from the small households outside the mansion. This analogy seems to be a bit too much for the young lady. How can Miss be compared to those girls from ordinary families?But I was afraid that the lady would still think wildly, so I bite the bullet and said: "Miss can't get through such a hard life, so don't think about anything, just stay honest, everything depends on the mother, no matter what, the mother will always be happy." I will do everything possible to make you walk out of the Duke's Mansion in a dignified manner."

Huihui knew that this was Mammy Li's obsession and her promise to the deceased, so she felt helpless and respected Mammy's love and promise. For Mama's heart, Huihui felt that She should also live a good life, and she can no longer let the people around her be disappointed and anxious, so she cheered up and said: "Don't worry, mama, if there is any possibility, I will insist on going out from the main entrance of the Duke's Mansion, and I will never let you go." My mother is disappointed, and of course I won't let Mammy down." After speaking, she playfully hugged Mammy's arm and rubbed it.

For such a young lady, Mammy Li felt very helpless while being happy, so she smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's good that you can remember what Mammy said, I think you'd better read less idle books in the future , I don’t have to change my temperament, I always think of weird things.” After admonishing Miss, Li Momo said angrily again: “It’s true for the young master, too. If you follow the rules, don't you not have to worry about the lady? Now you are still tired and want to win people for your brother."

Huihui knew that Mammy was speaking out of anger, and Nanny Li loved her brother as much as she loved herself, so she covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Mommy is speaking angry in front of me now, if elder brother comes, you must be I can't remember what cat or dog is, so I just pulled my brother to ask some questions, and when the time comes, what my brother says, you just respond to it."

What Huihui said was so funny that Xiangyu sitting at the door laughed too. Seeing the two children like this, Nanny Li patted Huihui's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "Naughty! Just your story How long, when did I behave like you said?" After speaking, I also remembered the situation when I saw the young master, and I couldn't help but blushed, and argued: "Besides, it's not that the young master is too busy. I didn't see him a few times, and he was unlikely to come to our courtyard, so I had to find an excuse to go and see him. I only bumped into him once or twice ten times. .”

Huihui smiled, thinking that her nanny is really cute, but she didn't want to argue harshly with her, fearing that she would be embarrassed, so she changed the subject and said: "It's true, if you really want to blame it, you can blame my brother more, but brother also Because I am a man, I was able to hide from those messy things in the yard, so I thought that with the backing of Uncle Erbing, we would have extra money, and gather a few to use It would be better for the girl to keep her heart on behalf of her brother."
