boudoir

Chapter 102
When Yan Hua heard that Mrs. Song was walking around in the mansion, her eyes couldn't help but light up!So this time, the drunken man didn't mean to drink, but was looking for a daughter-in-law?From this point of view, the news brought by the Yang family is not false. The Song family really intends to marry the He family. After today is over, won't she soon become the Song family's prospective daughter-in-law?

In a moment of elation, he hurriedly lowered his head to look at his clothes, the scarlet dress that he had just put on was very eye-catching, why does it look tacky now?No, Song Bi is now an official of the second grade, Mrs. Song often goes out with him, and has seen many girls with temperament and taste in Beijing, she can't go to see her in such a colorful dress!
So he quickly went back to the house with the hem of his skirt.When I got to the threshold, I remembered again, what if she saw another girl first because of her delay?Yuhua Shuhua and the others pointed at entering the palace, even if they compare themselves to others, Mrs. Song will be fine, so forget it.But what about others?Didn't the Qi family also have the idea of ​​letting Huanhua marry into the Song family?Although Mrs. Song thinks she is too young and inappropriate, but she is beautiful and can act like a baby. What if Mrs. Song gets better?There are also those concubine girls, it doesn't matter if Zhenhua is not there, Suhua is a foodie, so forget it, but what's terrible is that there is Liuli, that cunning and vicious little girl, in case she happens to have a climbing branch Taking advantage of the opportunity of following the old lady, she stepped forward to flatter Mrs. Song, what should she do if she moved Mrs. Song? ...Even if you don't make her the wife, you can take her back to be a concubine!
Yanhua's thoughts were turbulent in an instant, and the sense of crisis pressed down on her like a mountain.She held on to the door frame and thought for a moment, then ran back with her skirt in hand, pointed at Chunxiang's nose and said, "Where is Mrs. Song going now?"

Chunxiang hurriedly said, "Go to the Heming Pavilion on the west side!"

After Yan Hua heard this, she immediately ran to the west.

Heming Pavilion is close to the back garden, which was originally a place for leisure in the mansion. The Wutong Courtyard, Wenxiang Pavilion and other pavilions are all here.Mrs. Song must have gone there for the sake of enjoying the scenery.Yan Hua ran while watching, leaving Fu Rong behind after a while.But after running for a long time, Heming Pavilion has long been left behind, and no person dressed as a lady appeared.After passing this bluestone path and walking forward, there is Wutong Courtyard. Could it be that they will go to Mr. Guo?

Guo Xia knew many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and it was not impossible for them to come to her to reminisce about the old days.Yan Hua thought for a while, and the more she felt the more she resembled her, she straightened her skirts and stepped onto the Qingshi Road.

On the left side of the road is a grass field with two plum trees planted, and on the right side is a wall. You have to go through the front hall to get to the Indus Courtyard.Yan Hua was concentrating on how to get Mrs. Song to fall in love with her, so she didn't pay attention to the movement on both sides. She was walking into the hallway when suddenly a cat sprang out from the left. Somehow it was stimulated and it flew over her head screaming. Pulled all her hair off!Yan Hua was startled and screamed, and the cat quickly jumped up the wall after being frightened.Yanhua chased after her heart, but she hadn't taken two steps when suddenly there was a sharp pain in the back of her knee, which made her fall to the ground uncontrollably!
"what happened!……"

Before she came back to her senses, her eyes suddenly went dark, and she didn't know what happened at the moment.

Liuli returned to the front yard, the wives were about to go to the banquet hall, and Mrs. Yu was greeting her.Seeing her coming, he stared at her twice in his busy schedule, and then went to talk to the wife of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Liuli searched around but couldn't find Mrs. Qi, presumably Huanhua had dragged her back, so she immediately felt relieved and went to take care of the old lady without mentioning it.

Here Mrs. Song was led by Mrs. Liang to sit down in the banquet hall. Seeing that most of the girls had arrived, she smiled and asked Mrs. Yang, "Why don't you see Miss Five?" Mrs. Yang glanced at the crowd, but she did not see Yanhua. , Mrs. Nie next to her smiled and said: "The fifth girl never likes to go out, but now she has grown up and understands the rules. In the past two years, she has worked hard on needlework." There are also associated benefits, Madam Nie naturally needs to do more work.

After listening to Mrs. Song, she nodded with a smile: "very true." On the other hand, she said: "I heard that it is Mrs. Guo who teaches the fifth girl's homework. I don't know if Mrs. Guo has come here now?" Torn apart.

Yuhua Shuhua sat at the table next to the girls and accompanied the female guest who was also a girl who had not left the pavilion. Hearing Mrs. Song's words, Shuhua glanced at Yuhua and saw that she was talking to Lin Ducha's second girl, so she went Standing up calmly, when he arrived at Mrs. Song's table, he saluted the ladies with a smile, and said, "Please forgive Shuhua for being reckless. I just came to disturb you because Mrs. Song mentioned Mr. Acquaintances are talking in the second room now, and it will take a while before they come out. Madam may as well have some wine and food, and when the husband comes later, Shuhua will come and tell Madam."

Mrs. Song saw that it was her, and when she heard her reply, the more she looked at her, the more delighted she was. She couldn't help but looked her up and down twice, and praised: "You are really a daughter of beauty and wisdom."

Mrs. Nie felt a little unnatural when she heard it, but she still smiled along with her.Mrs. Yang echoed, "Ma'am, what Ma'am said is that these four girls are actually one in a million regardless of their looks or manners! To put it bluntly, it's because our He Mansion has trained them well. You look like a fairy!" The other ladies sitting next to her couldn't stop nodding.

Shuhua listened to everyone's praise, but she didn't turn away. Instead, she smiled and said generously: "The ladies are absurd, and Shuhua is ashamed. The dishes are about to be served right now. Ladies, please take it easy. Mother turned around and said If you come over to drink with me, Shuhua will leave now."

Mrs. Song nodded with a smile, and didn't look away until she returned to the table.

Shuhua tilted her head slightly, glanced over there from the corner of her eye, and raised the corners of her lips indistinctly.

After Liuli returned to the main courtyard, she waited for the old lady to get dressed and came out to sit at the table. There were three or four tables away from Mrs. Song's table. In addition, there were people walking around the table, and she had to take care of the old lady, but she didn't know all this. .

After the luncheon, the guests had tea and left one after another. The old lady also returned to Anxi hall early because she was not feeling well.Liuli has been waiting on her for the past two months, although she is careful everywhere, but for some reason, her bones are still getting heavier day by day, and now she is not only coughing, but also vomiting from time to time.Invited Wu Yinzhong to come and see, he was not sure what the disease was, so he had to treat it as a gastrointestinal disease, so when he took the medicine, he got better, but when he stopped taking the medicine, he got sick again, very headache.

However, the old lady still didn't let her tell it. Now even Biyun and Qingshang spend less time with her. From the outsiders' point of view, Liuli has already acted as the first-class maid in charge of the main courtyard, and they don't know the truth Among these people, naturally some would catch up to flatter her, while some could not understand her and hated her for standing in the wrong position.For example, just after she helped the old lady back into the room, Qingshang immediately came to help, and Biyun smiled from the side: "Qingshang, you too, you shouldn't do what you do, you should meddle in, what's wrong with you later, nine Girl blame it, you can't afford it!"

Qingshang has been with her all day long, knowing that she has a strong mouth, so she doesn't take her seriously.Liu Li felt uncomfortable when she heard it, but she was only a maid, so she didn't have to argue with her, so she kept silent.

After finishing cooking, she walked out of the door, wondering what was going on with Yanhua, and Huanhua ran towards her, pulled her aside and asked, "How is it?" She winked: "You wait for me at Hemingxuan, I'll be right here." Huanhua guessed that she wanted to avoid outsiders, so he nodded and walked west quickly.

Liuli went back to the main courtyard and said to the old lady: "I'll ask Ba Niang to draw some embroidery patterns." The old lady nodded, and she came out.When going out, Biyun was feeding the mynah on the porch, and gave her a half-smile.

When they arrived at Hemingxuan, Huanhua waved a handkerchief vigorously at her in the hallway.Liuli ran up, pointed to the Indus Courtyard in front of her and said, "There." Huanhua didn't understand what she meant, and followed her to the Indus Courtyard while saying, "Why did you get her to the Indus Courtyard?" Liuli said: " Isn't it good that it's far away from the front yard?" Huanhua thought for a while and nodded.

While talking, I have already arrived at the Indus Courtyard. Liuli has not been here since Guo Xia moved in. The people who live here are really different now. The wisteria and tuttails are very luxuriant, and it has a refined feeling of a paradise.The two maids serving Guo Xia also followed her to the front yard today, but there was no one there at the moment, Liu Li was worried that Guo Xia would come back anytime, so she had no time to look around carefully, then walked to the third room on the east side.

Huanhua could only follow her.When he arrived at the door, Liuli listened first, and then opened the first line of doors to look. He saw that the room full of books was filled with a tangy smell of alcohol. A person in a crimson dress faced the door.Huanhua followed up to take a look, and immediately took a deep breath: "Yanhua! Yanhua! She——how could she be lying in the master's study!"

Liuli closed the door carefully and said, "Is there any problem?"

Huanhua's eyes widened, and he couldn't speak fluently: "This, this is Mr.'s study, she never lets people in! If she knows that Yanhua is sleeping here drunk, she will die of anger!"

Liuli said calmly: "But as far as I know, Mr. Guo doesn't seem to be so fragile."

Huanhua stood there blankly, stared at her for a long time, then pointed at the door: "Well, then she will definitely punish her severely!"

"Isn't this just right?" Liuli spread her hands, "Mr. punishes her, and then she will stay obediently and not make trouble, so those rumors that are not good for her will not fly into Mrs. Song's ears." Is it?"

Huanhua listened in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and murmured: "It seems to be true, this time the second sister-in-law gave birth and Mrs. Song came, and the eldest sister-in-law will give birth again soon, and it may not be a full moon at that time." Banquet, if it's a three-dynasty banquet, Mrs. Song will definitely come again in a few days. At that time, do I have to hide her in the house for a while? Why not take this opportunity to cure her and save trouble... ...Oh, Liuli, you are so smart!" After thinking about it, she immediately cheered.
