Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 16 Mother and Daughter
After the eldest wife sent Dong Mo off, she went to the yard where the second girl lived.Although the two are mother and daughter, due to the rules of the mansion, after the second girl grew up, they arranged another residence, and they did not live together.

However, the eldest wife presided over Zhongfu, so she chose the closest and most comfortable yard for the second girl out of selfishness.Regarding this point, the old lady just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

The eldest wife met Linglu who came out at the gate of the second girl's courtyard.

"Why are you here?" The eldest lady was a little unhappy to see Linglu here.

Linglu said honestly: "Young lady asked me to bring jewelry to the second young lady."

The eldest lady frowned, remembering what the old lady told Dongmo to bring, she ignored Linglu and went straight into the yard.

Inside the room, the second girl was lying on the bed sulking.

Rui Zhu persuaded from the side, with a troubled face, a wooden box on the ground was not closed, and a pearl hairpin and a few silk flowers spilled out from it.

In the other corner of the room, Xuezhu was immersed in her embroidery work, looking at the bedside from time to time.

After the eldest lady came in, she frowned even tighter.

Seeing this, Mother Cui stepped forward to pick up the jewelry and wooden boxes scattered on the ground, and at the same time let Ruizhu and Xuezhu go out.

After hearing what she said, Ruizhu retreated respectfully.

Xuezhu was a little farther away, and when she got up to leave, the eldest wife said unintentionally: "Why does this maid seem to be by Miss Seven's side?"

Cui's mother smiled: "Ma'am, you forgot. The girl is still missing a needle and thread. After the old lady found out, she borrowed Xuezhu from Miss Seven's yard. Xuezhu's craftsmanship is good, and she used it in the wedding. Some of the quilts are made by Xuezhu.”

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows and looked at Xuezhu.

Xuezhu's heart jumped wildly, but she didn't dare to show timidity on her face.

"Mother, she's not from Seventh Sister." The second girl shouted impatiently.

She was holding her breath in her heart, and she was looking for the eldest wife, so she was willing to waste time on the insignificant Xuezhu.Besides, during the past few days of getting along, it's not like she didn't insinuate about Seventh Sister Xuezhu's affairs, plus the expression of another maid in Seventh Sister's room who just came over.

Thinking about it, Xuezhu hadn't become Seventh Sister's person yet, otherwise she didn't know that Xuezhu was a good embroiderer.

No matter what the second girl thought, the eldest lady didn't say anything before.

Xuezhu didn't dare to move, and stood erect at the door.

"What are you doing standing there, the masters want to talk, so why don't you avoid it." Cui's mother winked and said while pulling Xuezhu out.

The door closed softly.

As soon as the person left, the second girl couldn't hold back her temper any longer, and kicked Xiaoxiu pier over with a bang, and Xiao Xiu pier slammed straight onto the huanghuali flower shelf.The plum vase on the flower stand was a little shaken by the knock.

"Mother, I don't want to marry anymore. I won't marry. Marry whoever I love. Then Mrs. Ru Yang gave such a big box of jewelry to Seventh Sister, so let Seventh Sister marry it." The second girl threw herself In the arms of the eldest lady, her face was full of grievances.Mrs. Ru Yang's deeds really made the second girl feel uneasy.Where did the second girl who grew up being pampered and pampered have ever been treated like this, then the people of Uncle Ruyang's mansion are really giving the second girl a bad blow.

This is still not married.

A day passed, and the second girl became more and more depressed.

It's just that her words made the eldest wife's eyelids twitch, and she couldn't help but rejoice that she came here today.

Otherwise, if such words are really spread, how will Qian Huan marry in the future.

As soon as the thought flashed, the eldest lady suppressed the anger surging in her heart, and pulled the second girl to sit on the bed.

"You can't mention this in front of others." The eldest wife had a bit of a mentality of hating iron and steel: "Why are you so stupid. You know how much effort you have to get this marriage. You You think anyone can marry Ruyang Bofu. Not to mention others, but your grandmother is the first one who refuses."

The second girl couldn't help but startled.

The second girl didn't know how this marriage came about.Now that the eldest lady stopped suddenly, she couldn't help being dumbfounded.However, there is still a faint joy in my heart that is most valued by the old lady.

How could the child who came out of her womb not understand, when the eldest wife saw the appearance of the second girl, she suddenly understood in her heart.

"You silly daughter, the old lady loves you as a granddaughter. The old lady settled your marriage for you, otherwise, can your mother or your father who is fascinated by the bitch have it? . There are quite a few people in this mansion who want to take your place as Mrs. Uncle Ruyang. Don't say stupid things, if your grandmother hears about it, your mother won't be able to help you."

The second girl thought of the third girl, and felt disdainful in her heart.but also know in
The eldest lady didn't understand, so she told the second girl what the old lady had said to herself: "Look at your fourth sister, don't look at the usual generosity, if there is a chance, you can snatch this marriage. Really What chance would there be without you? As for your fifth younger sister, I'm afraid she has her own thoughts."

The second girl hesitated: "I know something about the fourth sister, but I don't believe in people like the fifth sister."

This was originally the eldest lady's idea, but she still believed in the old lady.

The eldest wife is not willing to make a wedding dress for others after all the hard work she has prepared.

"You just remember what you have heard, but you are not allowed to say it in front of others. Speaking of it, among these sisters, you are the seventh sister who has the least thought of replacing your marriage. She Now that I have shown you good intentions, you should let go, anyway, in two or three months, you will be the wife of the prince. How can she be an orphan girl compared to your status. Since I gave you jewelry, you should be good Put it away, if you want to reward someone or anything in the future, it's up to you."

One or two pieces of jewelry are no match for Mrs. Shizi, this is not something everyone can get.

The second girl thought for a while, then said in a low voice, "I'll just listen to my mother."

Regarding the attitude of the second girl, the eldest wife nodded with satisfaction: "I have grown up with you since I was a child, and you haven't suffered much setbacks. Mother has always been worried about your marriage to Uncle Ruyang's mansion in the future, and she was afraid that you would be wronged. But Which daughter-in-law in this world is not wronged, just like your mother and your grandmother, although they have the status of niece and niece, but this daughter-in-law should have wronged your mother, and I have not suffered half of it."

Thinking that the second girl would be someone else's daughter-in-law in a few months, the eldest wife's expression became a little dignified.

Should I ask the old lady to teach the second girl the secrets of the inner house, but if it is only this, she will definitely not be able to become a qualified wife of the eldest son.The eldest wife couldn't help but regret the education she gave the second girl in the past.

This matter can't be sloppy, I still need to talk to the old lady, the old lady thought secretly in her heart.

. . . . . .

Linglu went back to the yard, and Qing Huan invited her to talk to her.

"... I asked Rui Zhu about it, and she doesn't know much about the situation in Xue Zhu's family. I only know that she saves the monthly silver every month, and I don't see her spend it. She just asks someone to send it out every now and then. Ruizhu asked me what I wanted to know, and I said that the old lady gave the snow pearl to the girl, even though she belongs to the girl. The girl is also willing to serve her, but the girl is worried and wants to know clearly. Ruizhu didn't say much after listening .”

Ling Lu paused, and asked worriedly: "Do you think she will tell Xuezhu?"

If Xuezhu finds out, I'm afraid that she will make a move. After all, she is also a person by the old lady's side.

Qing Huan said with a smile: "Since I asked you to ask Ruizhu, naturally I am not afraid that Xuezhu will know. Besides, it is even better if Xuezhu knows, and it will save us from asking her to explain."

As for what the old lady knew, Qing Huan had her own explanation.

But from her point of view, Rui Zhu would definitely not be able to speak.

Ruizhu wished that Xuezhu would firmly become a member of Miss Seven's yard from now on, instead of being courteous to Miss Er now, so that she would have a sense of crisis that she would be replaced at any moment.

Qing Huan leisurely sipped the fragrant tea that Aunt Liu had made.

The matter of Jun'er leaving the Rongshou Hall is a little urgent, but there is enough time, just get it done before the second sister leaves the cabinet.Although Jun'er's sleazy behavior is deliberately for others to see, Xia Ye is not Chunying.If it is said that among the four maids around the old lady, Qing Huan must admire Xia Ye the most.Although Xia Ye is not the old lady's confidant, and looks a little soft-hearted.But Qing Huan was interested in these two points.

After Jun'er left Rongshou Hall, there must be no shortage of people by her side.

And the old lady definitely doesn't want Jun'er not to be controlled, so Xia Ye is the best candidate.

Qing Huan hopes that Yan Jun will be a person who can tell right from wrong but also has a kind heart, but her sister cannot always take care of her by her side.And Aunt Liu, who will definitely be left to him in the future, has only pampered Jun'er because of her elders.In this way, if there is someone around her who can influence her, it is after all a maid who takes care of her personally.

During the period of Qing Huan's observation, only Xia Ye got into her eyes.

It's just that how to operate this depends on Xuezhu's attitude.

Aunt Liu approached with a copper basin of water, Qing Huan had a bitter face, but Aunt Liu's attitude was not for her to resist.

"If the girl hadn't stopped me, I would have gone to the kitchen to get a few boiled eggs. Look at the swollen eyes, and the girl doesn't take it easy. What if I cry too much?" Aunt Liu carefully twisted the half-wet The cotton towel was folded in half several times and covered Qing Huan's face.

The slight warmth gradually subsided and the discomfort in the eyes, Qing Huan pursed her lips, and did not object again.

When the heat receded, Aunt Liu took the time to change the water again.

Qing Huan narrowed her eyes comfortably.

Seeing this, Aunt Liu couldn't help being annoyed and amused and said: "Just now I said no, how is it now, is it more comfortable?"

Qing Huan smiled flatteringly and said, "Auntie is the best, don't argue with me."

As for Qing Huan, Aunt Liu could only shake her head helplessly, changing the handkerchief wholeheartedly.

This time, Qing Huan put in all her strength to cry. When she came back with the vines, she bumped into Aunt Liu, which shocked her a lot.

After asking Mancao and knowing what happened, Aunt Liu felt very distressed.
