boudoir

Chapter 123
After a while, Aunt Su came back with several paper bags and handed them to He Xiuyuan.He Xiuyuan thanked the old lady and went there.The old lady turned around and asked Aunt Su, "What did you take?" Aunt Su thought for a while, and said softly, "A pack of bird's nest, a pack of white fungus, and a pack of ganoderma. I dare not take anything else, such as ginseng and deer antler. The doctor didn't explain it, so he was afraid of bad things."

The old lady nodded: "Very well." She then said: "It's not easy for the fourth son to come in. Now that there is finally another movement, we should take care of him."

Aunt Su heard what she was trying to explain, lest she mistakenly think that she was partial to the fourth wife, she immediately said: "That's right, if there were more children in the fourth bedroom, it would be better than it is now. Although I am the eldest wife After all, the person who had a sister-sibling friendship when he was young, I wish him well."

The old lady nodded and closed her eyes to listen to the play again.

Aunt Su looked at her and also waved her round fan.

Because Liuli let go of her heartache, she was not so awkward when she went to Wutong Courtyard. Now that Yanhua is not there, she can finally take a few breaths. When communicating with Huanhua and others in the school, it is no longer as it used to be. Foresight.

Two days later it was her birthday again, the old lady had already told the kitchen that she would hold a table for her, and only invited the girls to celebrate her birthday in Anxi Hall.Now there are only four girls left in the mansion, plus the old lady, there are only five.I don't know if it's because Liuli is more and more valued by the old lady, Shuhua's attitude towards Liuli is obviously closer now, and because Liuli has never provoke Yu Shi recently, Yuhua wants to take care of the old lady's face, so she has never made things difficult for Liuli , so a table meal is very happy.

The girls' presents were nothing new, but Liuliju was solemnly accepted, and Huanhua's gift included a set of cotton jackets, which were very soft and white after starching.When Liuli was helping the old lady to sleep after Xi finished, the old man even took out a piece of jadeite from under the pillow and said, "You didn't give you any serious present for your birthday last year, please take this jade pendant and keep it well. It is also an old thing passed down from the ancestors, don't give it away."

Liuli hurriedly knelt down to catch it, and said: "The old lady loves you so much, Liuli is ashamed not to accept it."

The old lady sighed, and said: "You have been with me for so many days, I can understand you more or less. Compared with those people, you are better, at least you don't want to see He Fu suffer. Fighting this and that, but don't think about it, what benefits will you get in the end by fighting in your own nest? The old saying goes, "If you fight against the outside world, you must first settle down at home." One day in the future, when you marry a woman, you must also understand this truth. Only the family is harmonious and peaceful. Only with one voice can this family prosper. Fighting endlessly for immediate interests will not end well. I gave you this thing, so you can take it, so as not to worry about them."

After she finished speaking, she patted the back of her hand, as if she had infinite expectations.Liuli's eyes were sore, she resisted the urge to cry, nodded and said: "My granddaughter has remembered it, thank you for the old lady's teaching."

The old lady looked at her, and after a while sighed regretfully: "Unfortunately, you are too young..." Before Liuli could figure out what she meant, she lay down on her body and waved: "Go back and have a rest." Go ahead."

Ever since Liuli moved into Yishou Garden, after the old lady went to bed, Biyun and Qingshang changed to serve the night.And usually only at noon and after dinner to accompany him. Compared with before, he never left, but most of the time was handed over to the maids.But what the old lady eats and uses is under the control of Liuli, so it can be said that Liuli is still the girl in charge in Anxi Hall.

Liuli tucked in the quilt for her, squeezed the jade pendant tightly and withdrew, took a deep breath in the corridor before going back to the room.

Mincui was pregnant, Liuli thought Nie would do something, but seeing her for a few days was normal, although she was not happy, but she was not as resentful as imagined.Liuli secretly wondered, could it be that this big jealousy can really endure this?

She was too busy, and at noon this day, the old lady asked someone to bring some food to Micui, so Liuli volunteered to go.When they arrived at the fourth room, they saw Mrs. Nie sitting lazily on the stone bench in the courtyard to enjoy the shade. The maids reported that Miss Nine had arrived. Mrs. Nie was slightly startled and subconsciously stood up.Seeing Liuli and Hongmei holding paper bags in the yard, they wanted to call people to watch tea, but their expressions immediately turned down.

"What are you doing here?"

Liuli smiled and said: "At the old lady's order, come and deliver some supplements to Aunt Cui."

Nie shot a poisonous arrow in his eyes: "The cat cries and the mouse pretends to be kind!"

Liuli took two steps forward and said, "Who is the fourth madam talking about? Whether the beautiful girl can find a good home, her family style is also one of the selection contents. If the fourth madam's words just reached the ears of the sage, please pay attention to the fifth girl. The prospect of getting it will be gone. The Fourth Madam has always wanted to be on top of others, and she has worked hard to get this opportunity, and now it is about to happen, but don't let it be ruined at this moment!"

Nie's face turned red when she heard this, and she wanted to open her mouth to argue with her, but she couldn't help worrying that she is now Guo Xia's disciple, and if she was a bad person, she might get this word into the palace through Guo Xia, so she went all the way. Sitting back on the stone bench, he raised the silk to fan the wind.

Liuli smiled slightly and signaled Hongmei to follow her to find Mincui in the backyard.

Mincui and Liuli have never met face to face, so when they heard she was coming, they couldn't help calling Chunxiang out to greet her.Chunxiang had already known about the character of the nine girls from Yuegui Haitang, and knew that she was a very talkative figure in the main courtyard. If she was to be transferred back to the main courtyard in the future, she might have to ask her to say a few words. Fu, said: "The maidservant is late to greet you, please forgive me, Miss Nine."

Liuli smiled and said, "How can Chunxiang show such a big gift? I can't stand it."

Chunxiang also laughed and said, "If Nine Girls can't afford to be, few people can afford to be." As he said that, he glanced at the Mincui Room, with a deep meaning in his eyes.Liuli also knew that she meant that it was her fault that Mincui was promoted as a concubine, so she didn't say much, and asked where Mincui was going, and followed her into the house.

He Xiuyuan is very concerned about this unborn child, and Wu Yinzhong has confessed, so Mincui has been lying on the bed for the past few days to recuperate.Seeing Liuli coming, he got out of bed, and said apologetically, "Since Miss Nine delivered something in person, she should have gone out to meet her, but our master has explained, so please forgive me. After these two months, I will come again The Upper Court would like to thank the girl."

Liuli looked at her now with cold eyes, she was not as low as before, she seemed to be pampered, but she didn't think about receiving much courtesy from her, so she ignored it and said: "It's worth it." What, since the fourth uncle has ordered it, my aunt should pay attention to her body, I have never done anything, the few supplements here are all brought by the old lady, you let the maids boil them and eat them."

Min Cui quickly asked Chun Xiang to take it away, and then asked about the old lady's body.Liuli exchanged a few words with her, and then left.

Out of Sifang Hongmei suddenly whispered: "Miss, believe it or not, Aunt Cui may not be able to keep this child."

Hongmei and Liuli are very familiar with each other, and they have no scruples in speaking on weekdays.Liuli turned her face away when she heard this, and scolded her coldly: "What are you talking about?! But you want me to tell the old lady to hit you?!" Seeing her anger, Hongmei didn't dare to kneel down and say nothing.Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Lisao said in a slow tone, "Get up, don't say a word that you shouldn't say in the future, otherwise you won't know how you will die someday!"

Hongmei bit her lip and nodded, standing up.

It's already hot in May, and the draft will come to the final moment.In the past few days, several masters in the mansion have been running between the court and the court. He Xiuyuan, who has never been good at this, is also carrying a purse around to do business. Nie is even more anxious, for fear that the duck he got may not be born. What accidentally flew.

The old lady held a small banquet in the mansion, and invited the county magistrate of Chunyang, Mrs. Jing Guogong and Guo Xia. These three people are all people who have direct or indirect close relationship with the palace. It is very difficult to stand out from the crowd and get a good ranking, so as a family member of her natal family, she had to ask the wives Jieshi from the prince's mansion to help clear up the relationship.Jing Guogong's mansion and Prince Yu's mansion are both relatives, but this face cannot be refuted. Guo Xia is also a very righteous person, entrusted by the old lady, she said on the spot that she would do her best to help.

The final selection was on May [-]th, and everyone had greeted her from all directions, and the old lady felt a little more at ease. On May [-]rd, Aunt Su and others were accompanying the old lady to eat rock candy lotus seeds to relieve the heat. He Zhong suddenly sent news that the fifth girl had a fight with the second girl from Pan Renli's family, the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in the Chuxiu Palace this morning, over a plate of grapes, and the second girl Pan's face was scratched up!As a result, Mrs. Pan sued the queen, and the queen was furious. She had issued an order in advance to refute Yanhua's qualification to enter the palace, but Miss Pan got a reward from the queen as a consolation!
Before He Zhong finished speaking, the old lady almost lost her temper, Liu Li had to send someone to invite Wu Yinzhong, and here she persuaded Aunt Su with good words, finally nothing serious happened.

When Wu Yinzhong opened the prescription, the old lady pointed in the direction of the palace and said: "How can this unprogressive thing cause conflicts with the Pan family? Don't you know that Master Pan is the immediate boss of the Grand Master? Da Furen I had a good relationship with Mrs. Pan, but this time I offended him, and you must be implicated. She originally took the third girl's place, and now she has caused this trouble. If I had known this, I should have thrown this beast away Drowning in the ditch counts!"

Hearing this at first glance, it seems that he is partial to He Yuli, but in fact both Liuli and Aunt Su have heard it, and she is implying that something is wrong.In the two months since entering the palace, Yanhua has never made any major mistakes. It seems that she has a basic sense of propriety in her heart. Most of the incident was provoked by Miss Pan, and Yanhua fell into her tricks in a hurry, so it was naturally a disaster.
