The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 164
Mrs. Xing has learned her lesson this time. Although she did not give up, she has been thinking hard about marrying Second Sister You to the Xing Mansion, but during several contests with Mrs. Lu and that girl, Mrs. Xing can also see that she It is often the side that suffers.But if the old lady is willing to agree to help, there is more than half hope for this matter to be successful.

Mrs. Xing's thinking was simple, so as soon as she entered the door, she saw Yuanyang standing in the main room talking to the little girl. Mrs. Xing rushed up to her, salivating and smiling: "What are you doing, Miss? I called Wang Shanbao's family yesterday. I gave the girl a pair of cloisonné enamel earrings, will the girl take it?"

Yuanyang knew that this was Mrs. Xing taking the opportunity to please her, so she smiled faintly: "I just said that I would go to the upper courtyard to thank Mrs. Da, those earrings are very novel and exquisitely crafted, they are rare and rare!"

Mrs. Xing was full of complacency, her eyebrows raised: "This is a fresh look brought by my uncle from the south, and I can't buy it anywhere else."

Yuanyang absent-mindedly laughed and said, "It's still the uncle who loves the eldest lady!"

Mrs. Xing saw that Yuanyang said this, but she found a bosom friend, and hurriedly pulled Yuanyang on: "Who said it wasn't! They outsiders thought that my uncle and my family were not in harmony, but they didn't know that my brother was also suffering! There is a person who doesn't understand human feelings. That's all for a lady, but she also has a domineering daughter! Our Xing family has only one seedling, Mr. Lu, but you see, the Lu family only has one son, what good will it do in the future! There is only me, a disgusting old man Things, running around to work for my uncle!"

Seeing that Mrs. Xing's words became more unobtrusive and disrespectful, Yuanyang hurriedly laughed and said: "The old lady is probably in a hurry, it's better for the eldest lady to go in."

Mrs. Xing twisted the waist of the bucket and went away.

The little girl smiled and stood behind Yuanyang: "Sister Yuanyang, the hairpin was not given by any uncle, it was given to the eldest wife by Grandma Zhen of Dongfu. My old lady is working in the house over there. It was Grandma Zhen who called my old lady to our Rongguo Mansion."

Yuanyang snorted disdainfully: "You little hoof, you are very greedy. Since you like it, I just gave it to you. I don't wear that kind of thing." The little maid was very happy, and Mrs. Xing naturally didn't know her lie Someone had already punctured her skin, and she was still complacent!
Let's say that Mrs. Xing entered the inner room, greeted Jia Mu first, and then kept talking about the happiness of the mandarin ducks, intending to make the old lady happy.Mother Jia is so easy to manage today, the old lady impatiently pointed to a carved and embroidered pier next to her kang, and signaled Mrs. Xing to sit down.

Mrs. Xing stopped talking embarrassingly, and half-squatted and half-sat against the outer ring of the embroidered pier.

"Seeing that the new year is approaching, I thought that this year is probably the last year for the girls at home. It is rare for everyone to get together, so I decided to invite both my aunt's family and my uncle's family to have a party on the second day of the new year. Gathering, it's not easy for Aunt Li to bring her two daughters, and that's one of them. Dongfu also sent a letter. Brother Zhen is willing to join in the fun, so he called his two sisters-in-law. I just happened to have something to say. they said."

Mrs. Xing was stunned on the spot, "What does the old lady want them to do? The two sisters of brother Zhen's daughter-in-law are a bit petty and useless, and nothing made the old ancestor feel uncomfortable seeing them."

Mother Jia sneered and said, "Recently, I also like to be a matchmaker to draw a red thread. Aren't Second Sister You and Third Sister You still in her boudoir? Coincidentally, the second master has several widowers who have been widowed for many years under his command, and there are also a few widowers at home. With a low birth rate, the You sisters have become decent young mistresses after they married, isn't it better than eating and drinking at her sister's house?"

Mrs. Xing was in a hurry: "Old lady!"

Mother Jia was really angry this time, but when she thought that her eldest son had become more and more estranged from her over the years, and the second room was not in harmony with her, Mother Jia's heart sank.It was the first time for the old lady to talk to the eldest daughter-in-law with such earnestness: "You used to complain that I hurt the second daughter-in-law too much, but you don't think about it. The second daughter-in-law is more clever than you in everything, can I not be partial?" Don’t talk far away, just talk about mandarin ducks, you two want to get mandarin ducks into your big room behind my back, you really look at me and don’t know what’s on your mind?”

Mrs. Xing blushed with shame, and did not dare to look up at Jiamu.

"To tell you the truth, although Yuanyang is my confidant, I won't let a girl know exactly how many taels of silver I have and how much I have. You husband and wife don't think that I am the kind who doesn't care about the importance. He is the eldest son of this family, no matter how much I love my second son, I will never hand over a large fortune to them."

Mrs. Xing's heart was full of ups and downs. After hearing Jia's mother's words, she couldn't hold back her smile: "The old lady loves us, and the elder and I know it."

Mother Jia patted the back of Mrs. Xing's hand and sighed: "Didn't the boss crawl out of my stomach? I am devoted to my second wife, so naturally I will not forget you and your husband. Because I love you so much, I have to say something." Say."

Mrs. Xing was shocked, since she entered the gate of Rongguo Mansion, it was the first time for the old lady to be friendly with herself like this, and she seemed to be discussing important matters. Mrs. Xing couldn't help but raise a hundred cautions.

"My uncle's family has been going through trivial matters for the past half a year. I figured out that the one who set up the door in the Xing family is not your brother, but your little niece!"

Mrs. Xing couldn't help but sneered: "Old lady, don't praise a girl like this. Xing Xiu's smoke weighs a few catties and a tael. Doesn't the daughter-in-law not know? Their family loves their children too much, and it's shameful to be used to his daughter. "

After hearing Xing's answer, Jia's mother felt powerless.

Although Wang is dull, she still knows how to read people's faces.If I said this to the second daughter-in-law, although I didn't think so in my heart, I must have started to agree with myself.

Mrs. Xing was stupid, and Mother Jia could only patiently say: "I don't have much theory on the other side, I just tell you that it's useless for you to try your best to please my uncle, why don't you think about how to make Miss Xing and you have one heart. Then Second Sister You, don't always think about sending it to Xing's house, even the careless women in our house know that the two sister-in-laws in the East Mansion are very unruly. , aren't you afraid of being criticized by others in the future and delaying my uncle's future?"

Mrs. Xing is the most independent person, Wang Shanbao's family is not around, and the aunt who was favored by the big house a while ago who advises Mrs. Xing is also not there, so Mrs. Xing is a little uncertain when she hears the old lady's words.

Jia's mother took the opportunity to say: "It just so happens that you are here, I have something important to tell you. The Xing family mentioned to me a while ago that they wanted to get married, and it was for your third younger sister's brother, Zhang Yi's child. The original intention of the Xing family It's about mentioning the third girl, but when I think about it, it may not be the original intention of my uncle and wife, it's probably because the Xing family sister changed her rhetoric."

Mrs. Xing laughed without thinking: "How is this possible? The old lady overestimated her!"

"It's not that I overestimate Miss Xing's family, it's that you all underestimate her!" Mother Jia said lightly, "You might as well take this opportunity to go to Fengwei Hutong to find out what my uncle and wife are saying, and say that our family wants to send the two of them away. Let the girl get married, ask my uncle and wife if you want to?"

Mrs. Xing stood up joyfully, and bowed to Mother Jia: "Why don't you want to? If the old lady is willing to grant this kindness, I will accept it on behalf of the third sister!"

Jia's mother shook her head helplessly: "You can't be the master of your third sister, your uncle and wife can't do it, only Xiuyan girl can talk." Seeing Mrs. Xing's disdain flashing away, Jia's mother sighed: "I don't know what to say." Let's put the words here, right or wrong, you go to Xing's house, you will naturally know when you ask."

The next day, Mrs. Xing was going to bring Jia Yingchun to Fengwei Hutong, but who would have imagined that snowflakes flew up in the sky early in the morning, and at noon, the snow became heavier and heavier.

Xiuyan got up early in the morning, first asked the old lady at home to show Lu Shi's peace pulse, then made meat porridge with her own hands, served Lu Shi with Daiyu, and then hugged Fu Geer in her own room lunch break.

Xiuyan's house is a third-generation residence in Zhengnan. Ever since she got Fu Geer, the fragrance of flowers that used to linger in the house all year round has been replaced by the fragrance of milk.Fu Geer also seems to like her sister's place very much. As soon as he arrives at Xiuyan's house, he giggles and laughs non-stop. He can often play with his little feet for a long time. Much stronger.

Lu's body needed rest, so Daiyu moved in to share the same room with Xiuyan. The two girls took care of Fu Ge'er together, but they also enjoyed themselves, raising Fu Ge'er to be white and fat, everyone loved it.

The room smelled of milk, and it was cold and windy outside, Meilian walked in wearing a squirrel cloak with silver trim, the little maid hurried up to dust off the snow, Meilian took the whisk from the little maid, and only asked: "Miss Lin is here?"

"Sister Zijuan took care of Miss Lin to take a nap next door! Our girl is coaxing Brother Fu!"

Meilian took off the cloak she was wearing, stood in front of the brazier and rubbed her hands for a long time, until her whole body was warmed up, then opened the felt curtain and entered the inner room.Xiuyan leaned on the bed, patting Fu Geer with her hands.

The red-faced Esharen with the little meatballs, his two little arms are not honest for a moment, always trying to stretch out from the burden.

"Girl." Meilian called Xiuyan in a low voice.Xiuyan opened her eyes, and got off the bed cautiously, fearing to disturb Fu Geer, she went to the table and drank a cup of warm tea.

"This is a secret letter sent by Song Qianhu to Baili urgently. The person from the Fusi just handed it in through the back corner door."

The sealant on it has not been moved at all, and the envelope seems to be creased, there is no snow water, only the remaining warmth of the girl's body.

Xiuyan opened the letter and read it word by word. Although Meilian was anxious, she didn't dare to disturb the girl.At some point, Mio walked in, followed by Fangguan, seeing that something was wrong in the room, Mio hurriedly pushed Fangguan out.

"My good sister, go to the big kitchen and see, is the ginger soup that the girl wants ready?"

Fangguan knew that this was Mio's excuse to dismiss him, and felt uncomfortable, but when he tried to look into the back room, the door was already covered by Mio's curtains, so it was completely airtight.Fangguan couldn't hear what the girl and sister Meilian said.

The snow-protecting clothes outside were obviously Meilian's, but with such heavy snow, Meilian couldn't stay indoors, did she go to some important place?
