boudoir

Chapter 104 Breaking this matter!

When Mrs. Qi returned to Anxi Hall, it happened that Mrs. Nie was not there. The visitor said that Yan Hua had caused trouble in Guo Xia's house, and she was slapped by Guo Xia, and punished to clean the study room in Wutong Courtyard. Two months ago, at this moment, he was kneeling on the knees of Confucian Master to recite the female instruction. Nie's heart was aroused, and he collapsed when he couldn't help it, so Wu Yinzhong came to prescribe the prescription.

After hearing this, the old lady and Mrs. Yu both shook their heads and sighed, while Shuhua didn't dare to make a sound while accompanying her, Liuli had a calm expression on her face, and scooped up soup for the old lady in Nie's place.Qi's heart is clear, remembering that the marriage with the Song family was messed up by her, the more she looks at her, the more angry she becomes.

Liu Li didn't know about this, and when she heard that Yan Hua was being punished, she felt very calm because she had already expected it.

After the full moon banquet, the second room seemed to have returned to calm. Liang's family stayed for one night and then left. Because they were in the jewelry business in Hejian Mansion, they also left a lot of gold, silver and jade wares during their visit. Except for Xiao Tianyou's, Shuhua also prepared two sets of 24 large and small pieces of pure gold inlaid head and face here, which is very impressive.

On the morning before I left, I went to the main courtyard to say goodbye, and the old lady entertained me with lunch.Because she doesn't come here often, Mrs. Liang also gave gifts to the old lady and other wives, which are nothing more than jewelry headdresses, and the girls are the same, it is a pair of jade plum flower hairpins.

Speaking of the hairpins, Mrs. Liang and the Liang family only communicated by letter on weekdays. There were only eight girls in the Taoist manor, including Xiao Ruimin, so only nine pairs were prepared. When talking about these that night, Shuhua He said: "Auntie is missing a couple, but now there is still a girl in the house." Mrs. Liang didn't plan to prepare colored glaze, so she never reminded Mrs. Liang that it's okay if she doesn't prepare.Mrs. Liang heard this, but she lost her mind, finally Shuhua took her pair and said: "My aunt has given so much honor, and I don't want this pair, so I will give it to Miss Jiu."

Liang's natal family has never dared to offend because they are still relying on the reputation of the son-in-law's house. Mrs. Liang has been given an explanation when she comes here this time, and she must not lose her manners. Come out, had to rely on her.

It's just that Mrs. Liang was puzzled. After seeing off Mrs. Liang and her party, she came back and asked Shuhua, "You seem to think highly of that nine girl now."

But Shuhua said: "She has already recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, she has long been recognized as uncle's own flesh and blood, why should I look down on her?"

Liang had never understood her daughter's thoughts, knowing that she couldn't tell the truth even if she asked, so she gave up.

It has only been a few days here, and it finally rained heavily in the afternoon of this day. There was a sudden news from the long house, saying that the grandmother was very afraid of the heat since she was pregnant, and because she walked in the garden for the sake of coolness, she had a stomachache on the way. It started to hurt, and it became more and more severe, and it looked like it was about to give birth.

The mansion, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly erupted again. With Mrs. Wang giving birth first, Mrs. Xie was not so flustered this time, and with her second child, the delivery went very smoothly, and it only took three or four hours. It came down to earth, but unexpectedly, this time it was a baby girl again!When He Cunli heard the news, he frowned and sighed, and left the hospital.Hearing this, the old lady sighed too, asked Mrs. Yu to take good care of Mrs. Xie, and went back to her room to rest.

This incident immediately cut Yu's aura in front of Liang's by half.The old man named the baby girl Ruixi, and when they were discussing whether to prepare a three-dynasty banquet for Ruixi in the main courtyard, whether it should be a big or small one, Mrs. Liang said: "Besides the royal family, I didn't give my daughter a big one. The etiquette of the banquet of the three dynasties, this rule cannot be violated."

Of course Yu knows that there are such rules, but the rules are made by people. Although the royal family is restricted, there are not no examples of high-ranking officials. It's just to save face, and now Liang's face-to-face blows the bottom, the fire in his heart rises up, but he can't find a word to refute, and his face turns blue with anger for a while.

Because the Song family actually made an appointment with the two families to exchange Geng Tie, recently they had been waiting for the Song family to come to propose marriage as soon as possible, so they were a little flustered, and immediately spoke for Yu: "What's wrong with this girl? Daban invites someone to come over to drink some tea. Could it be that the girl in our house is not enough? Does the second sister-in-law think that she will have a royal family in the future, so she divides us into three or six or nine classes? After all, this We don't even know whose family the nobleman is from!"

Liang Shifu was so angry that she clenched his teeth, in front of the old man and others, and his man was not around, he had to put up with it for the time being.After returning to the room after the meeting, he sat down in front of Shuhua who was writing and said: "You work hard for me, you must squeeze into the palace! You must suppress that pair of cunning wives!"

Shuhua put down the pen, buckled the words written on the back, and said slowly: "Where did the mother get angry again?"

In a fit of rage, Mrs. Liang poured beans into the bamboo tube and told all about the matter just now, and finally pointed in the direction of Sifang and scolded: "What about Mrs. Nie, do you think that if you climbed to the Song Mansion, you will become prosperous? With their virtue of Yan girl , even if they become relatives, they will have to be divorced in the future! No, I have to meet Mrs. Song later, and break up their matter!"

Shuhua's eyes flickered, and she raised her head: "Mother really wants to see Mrs. Song?"

Liang said bitterly: "Of course it is true! I have to tell her the true face of Yan girl myself!"

Shuhua came out around the desk and said, "Then Shu'er will go with your mother."

Mrs. Liang complained for a while in Shuhua's room, and felt that her heart was much smoother. Immediately, under Shuhua's urging, she posted a post to Mrs. Song and went out.

Shuhua waited for her to go out, then put the two pieces of paper she wrote just now into the envelope, then took out a bank note from the drawer and put it in together, and called Mi Xue again: "Send this to Xihe Mansion in person, hand over Give them the second wife."

Leaving aside the matter of Liang's mother and daughter, Ruixi's three-dynasty banquet arrived within two days, Yu decided to make a big deal in order to win the day.The big deal in this rule means that when people other than the royal family hold a full moon banquet, they post a post to their relatives and friends to congratulate each other. In order to avoid this, the folks have a customary method, which is to say Invitation, when relatives and friends come to congratulate without posting a post, it can be regarded as a visit to drink tea. The government wants to ask the crime but can't get evidence, so it is very popular, so the matter will not cause social unrest. The imperial court has always turned a blind eye to this item.

At the potting ceremony that day, Liuli accompanied the old lady in the flower hall of the long house to give out wedding money, and she also stood a little far away to look at Ruixi, she was very cute and pink.Huanhua walked around and came back and said, "Madam Song doesn't seem to be here today." Liuli also noticed this problem, but couldn't think of the reason, so she said, "Li has come, and Yuemo is delayed by something."

Huanhua also nodded.Liuli said again: "Why haven't you come to the main courtyard these few days?"

Huanhua frowned and said: "Don't mention it, I don't know what happened, but on the night of the Tianyou Full Moon Banquet, my mother looked very bad after serving the old lady and returning to the house, and punished me to kneel down because my sitting posture was a little crooked. , I have not dared to go into her room these few days, just now when I saw her, she still looked bad, and I don't know who provoked her."

Liuli glanced at the place where Mrs. Qi was sitting, but Mrs. Qi happened to be looking over too. Looking at her ice-like gaze, Liuli felt a shiver in her heart for no reason.

After the bastion ceremony was over, He Qili asked Mrs Yu: "Why is there no one in the Song residence today?" Mrs Yu also wondered: "It is said that the second wife has come, so our family should come, I will ask later, look Did you offend her somewhere?" He Cunli nodded, and went to have tea and dinner with the male guests.

Thinking about Mrs. Song, Mrs. Yu felt uncomfortable. Seeing Mrs. Nie approaching sullenly, she called her back: "What's your face?" The happy event in the room, you can't add bad luck at this moment, so you can't feel comfortable, so you hurriedly changed a smile: "It's nothing, nothing." Yu looked at her for a long time, and said: "What's the matter? There are many things today. Your fourth boss's boss is here, tell me, don't put on such a face, it's just plain to make people look down on you!"

Nie's face was startled when she heard this, and she immediately frowned, and said bitterly: "We originally made an appointment with the Song family to exchange posts at Taoranju in the city in two days, but I don't know what happened. This morning, someone from their residence suddenly said that it has been cancelled, am I really worried!"

Yu Shi was also surprised: "They said cancel?"

Nie said: "Isn't that true! They also said that this matter should be put aside for the time being. It's really crushing people at the top level of government. Usually, our woman's family is in a hurry to ask the man to come and get engaged. That's all, but now he still regrets the appointment, it really makes people mad!"

Mrs Yu also felt that this matter was not simple, just now she only said that no one in the Song residence came to the banquet in person, but she hadn't expected this level, at this moment, she thought, could it be that someone broke it?This Mrs. Nie can't hold two or two taels of oil in her stomach on weekdays. If there is anything, she wants the whole world to know. Maybe some people will not understand the secret tricks, but this is a distinguished guest in the courtyard, but it is not worth it to tell her. This one, just said: "Perhaps there will be news in two days, let's put it down now and come here to accompany the guests for me."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Nie had no choice but to put it down temporarily.

Seeing Nie's gloomy face from the side wall, Mrs. Liang couldn't restrain her joy for a moment, and whispered to Shuhua: "This is called lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot! She is not a real person, she stole eight of you." My sister's marriage, I thought everything would be safe! Hmph, if you have the ability to snatch a marriage, you must have this blessing to enjoy it!"

Shuhua smiled and nodded to the familiar female guests, while waving her round fan, she said: "Mother knows that it's useless to be famous, so she should restrain herself, if she sees that we met Mrs. Song, what good will happen? "

Mrs. Liang always obeyed her daughter's advice, and when she heard it made sense, she quickly sat up straight.In the end, I couldn't help being proud, and whispered: "When you enter the palace in the future, but teach them that these concubines are all drinking the northwest wind!"

Shuhua turned her head and glanced at her, then closed her mouth.
