Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 43
Wearing new clothes, I went to greet the old lady, and went to visit the concubine's sister. The envy and reluctance I got was definitely countless times the praise.

What is the saying?I am relieved to see that you are not doing well.

After that day, the concubine's younger sister would clamor to see Aunt Xue almost every day, and the nanny who guarded the concubine's sister was reluctant to go to the old lady for this kind of thing at first, but as the number of times increased, they became impatient.Especially as the Chinese New Year approached, the sister-in-law became more and more troubled, and by the time of the New Year's Eve, she had already started a hunger strike to protest.

The nuns had no choice but to discuss it, and finally reported to the old lady.

The old lady pondered for a while, thinking that after all it was almost the Chinese New Year, and it would not be good to hold back any longer, so she allowed the concubine sister to come out to get some air.

After being imprisoned for so long, the concubine rushed to Aunt Xue's yard as soon as she heard that she could get out of the yard.Luo Yunrui was not at all anxious when she heard the news.If the concubine sister came out a few days ago, she would naturally tell Aunt Xue that she was detained by the old lady in the yard and not allowed to go out.Maybe he would tell Aunt Xue about the sachet in detail so that Aunt Xue could be prepared.At least the old lady's attitude towards their mother and daughter should be carefully explained.

It's a pity that ever since she was provoked by Luo Yunrui, her mind is full of new clothes.Seeing that Aunt Xue didn't have time to say something concerned, she clamored to make new clothes.

Aunt Xue was baffled by her, she didn't know that the old lady detained the concubine sister in the yard, and thought it was in the old lady's yard all the time.When she first heard that she was going to make new clothes, she instinctively refused.That's right, the mansion has just sent regular winter clothes, what kind of clothes are you doing for no reason?Besides, Chinese New Year is only a few days away, which tailor shop is still taking jobs at this time?Most of them finish the work at hand quickly, so that they can have a peaceful year.

The concubine couldn't listen to any reason at all, and she would cry endlessly if she didn't make new clothes for her.

Aunt Xue loves her concubine sister very much, and the mother and daughter have not seen each other for several days, which makes her feel even more sympathetic.Seeing her being like that, in desperation, Aunt Xue could only order the maid to ask the housekeeper which shop was still taking jobs.Of course, it's New Year's Eve, and even the poorest people have to prepare for the New Year, and those high-end tailor shops have long since stopped accepting work, so naturally there is no way to make new clothes for Shumei.

The concubine cried for a few more days, and after getting a promise to make a few more new clothes for her next year, she finally settled down.

On Luo Yunrui's side, when she found out that her concubine had begun to give birth, she became uneasy again.

On New Year's Eve, Luo Yunrui ordered to take out the last set of clothes delivered a few days ago.At first glance, this set of clothes is not too outstanding, but the cloak is extremely precious.The whole cloak is fiery red, and it is made of top-quality fire fox fur. This kind of wool is extremely expensive, and only a mother like Luo Zhang who spoils her daughter to the extreme would be willing to do so.

After Luo Yunrui got dressed, the maids around her couldn't help but exclaimed.

There's no way, it's so beautiful, the fiery red cloak sets off Luo Yunrui's white and flawless tender skin, making her look extraordinarily delicate.At first glance, it looks like a little girl.

This attire is really eye-catching, not only got praise from Mrs. Luo Zhang and the old lady, but also the master who hadn't seen him for a long time.Speaking of which, Luo Yunrui really hasn't seen the master for a month.Not only did he not come to visit Luozhang, even Aunt Xue didn't care much about it anymore.As for the reason, Luo Yunrui is quite clear, because the old lady took another room for her, and she was the second-class maid under the old lady.It may not be neat to do things, but the appearance is very good, so it is impossible to serve the master comfortably.

However, no matter how favored they are, concubines and Tong Fang are not allowed to sit on the table this New Year's Eve.Aunt Xue and Bi'er stayed in their own yard, and the old lady asked the kitchen to arrange a table for them.And Mrs. Luo Zhang came to the old lady's yard in person because she felt in good health.As for the new Tongfang, it did not appear at all, and it is estimated that there may not even be a banquet.After all, Bi'er, the housekeeper, received preferential treatment because she was pregnant.

Therefore, there are only the old man, the old lady, the master and Luo Zhang, as well as Luo Yunrui and the concubine.Even if the concubine is also a young lady of the Luo family, she can still attend the banquet.

I don't know if it was because of Aunt Xue's absence, or because of the excitement brought by Luo Yunrui's new clothes, the concubine was not very happy all night.The old man and the old man are both men, and the careless ones didn't realize it at all.The old lady noticed it, but she didn't bother to pay attention to the concubine sister.Mrs. Luozhang really didn't notice, she only cared about adding vegetables to Luo Yunrui, and kept telling her to eat more, but the people around didn't care at all.

As for Luo Yunrui, of course she noticed something was wrong with her concubine sister, but it was too late to be happy, so how could she go to comfort her.

Although there is a habit of vigil on New Year's Eve, they will not deliberately abide by it.

The old man and the old lady are old, so naturally they won't keep watch.Luo Zhang is pregnant and left after eating.Both Luo Yunrui and Shumei were still children, and the night watch was too unrealistic for them.However, they all ordered their personal servant girls to watch the night on their behalf.It's okay for the master, but he was anxious to see his concubine, and when the old master and the old lady went to rest, he also left.

Luo Yunrui was not in a hurry, and ordered Xiaolu to bring some snacks, saying that she could eat some when she was hungry.Of course, the snacks are not the point, the point is that she is waiting for the concubine to speak.

After hesitating for a long time, the concubine finally said, "Sister, your clothes are so beautiful."

Because there was a warm dragon in the room, Luo Yunrui actually dragged off the cloak not long after entering the room.Therefore, she pretended to be naive and asked: "Is the dress beautiful? I think the cloak is more beautiful. I like it."

The concubine was of course talking about the cloak, and she immediately continued after seeing this: "Yes, I'm talking about my sister's cloak."

"Well, it's very beautiful, my mother made it for me!" Luo Yunrui raised her head proudly, and the concubine gritted her teeth secretly in anger.

"Then... elder sister, younger sister has a merciless request." The concubine had made up her mind to ask for the cloak, but she just couldn't see that Luo Yunrui had something she didn't have.

Luo Yunrui didn't realize it, but just told Xiaolu: "Bring me the cloak, I'm going back to rest." Xiaolu took the cloak as she said, and put it on for Luo Yunrui.

The concubine's eyes turned green when she looked at the cloak, and she clenched her fingers involuntarily: "Sister!"

"Huh? What's the matter?" Luo Yunrui answered indifferently as she put on her cloak neatly.

"Sister, I really like your cloak."

"Well, me too." Nodding, Luo Yunrui did not forget to order Xiaolu to bring the snacks just now.Someone must be on vigil today, and if she doesn't sleep all night, she will naturally be hungry. She will not eat much of those snacks, and it is good to give the rest to the maid.

Seeing that Luo Yunrui was about to leave, the concubine panicked: "Sister, can you lend me your cloak to wear for a few days?"

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Luo Yunrui's mouth, she knew that the concubine would not be able to bear it.However, when she turned around, there was a very embarrassed expression on her face: "This... this is what my mother made for me."

"I know, I'll just borrow it for a few days!" The concubine always asks for things, but unfortunately, none of the things she borrowed can be returned.

Luo Yunrui frowned and said in puzzlement, "Then why don't you ask your aunt to make one for you?"

Sometimes, honest words hurt people the most, and the concubine almost couldn't hold back, but fortunately, she thought of an excuse in time: "It's Chinese New Year, the tailor shops are closed, and there is no new clothes. Wait until the next year When my new clothes arrive, I must return them to my sister immediately."

Luo Yunrui was not persuaded by this reason, but said in an even more inconceivable way: "It's strange, there is no tailor who can make new clothes by himself! Like Bier, she just bought new clothes for the maid to make. By the way, you Look at my shoes, my mother made them herself!"

The concubine bit her lip and looked down at the shoes on Luo Yunrui's feet.Perhaps the cloak on Luo Yunrui gave her too much shock before, so she ignored the embroidered shoes on her feet.

To be honest, this pair of embroidered shoes was indeed made by Luo Zhang, but it was not made just two days ago, but it was already made last year.It's just that Luo Zhang miscalculated the size at that time, and Luo Yunrui couldn't wear it at all.No, it was discovered by Xia He a few days ago, and it was just right after a try.Luo Yunrui felt that she was not lying, it was indeed sewn by Mrs. Luo Zhang stitch by stitch.

"Sister, if you don't have fabric, you can get it from me. My mother bought me several good fabrics before, but because she was pregnant, it was inconvenient to make clothes for me, so she went outside to order. However, those few fabrics I'm useless, if you want, just come and get it." After speaking, Luo Yunrui took Xiaolu and left, she knew that this big Aunt Xue would not want to live a happy new year.

Sure enough, the next day I heard from Xiaolu that Aunt Xue seemed to be making a fuss last night, so she ran to call the doctor at dawn.Presumably, Shu Mei lived up to her expectations and tossed hard all night.

The doctor here has just arrived, and the people from Zhang's mansion over there have also arrived. Of course, they are here to pay New Year's greetings. They are the second master and second wife of the Zhang family, and their twin sons.

There are two young masters from the Zhang family, the eldest is called Zhang Bingkang, and the second is called Zhang Bingjian.In the previous life, Luo Yunrui and her concubine sister were married at the same time, and it was Zhang Bingkang, the young master of the Zhang family.Thinking about it now, this marriage seems to have been settled in the first month of this year!
No, she doesn't want to!This time she had to find a way to reject this terrible marriage.

However, just as she walked into the old lady's yard, she saw a nanny rushing in in a panic, almost knocking her down.Luo Yunrui frowned, she knew this nanny, she was from the Zhang family, strictly speaking, she was the nanny of the young master Zhang Bingkang.She is so flustered, is something wrong with the Zhang family?
"Second Master! Something happened! Something happened at home!"
