Foster son and husband

Chapter 161
Mother He blushed, leaned over and said: "How dare the old slave say that Grandma is not right? The old slave just looks at the old lady like this, and feels sad. The old lady will be strong for the rest of her life... She must be very sad. Grandma will take care of her, so she will feel better!"

Mei Niang looked at Mother He, and murmured in her heart: What's the matter with this woman?Why do you only drag yourself to look after Mrs. Zheng?Talking about direct relatives, and mentioning Mrs. Zheng's love and respect for Heng'er and herself. She is the first close girl that Mrs. Zheng married over. Does she also know that secret?No way, how many people know about Heng'er's background?
Mei Niang looked around, pulled Mama He to walk seven or eight steps away, away from Cuixi, Chunyue and the woman on duty in the corridor, stared into Mama He's eyes and asked coldly: "What does Mama mean, please tell me?" Understood! Why did I ignore the eldest wife? What would happen if I ignored her? Uncle is her eldest son, hasn’t he been here a few times and invited several imperial physicians? What else?”

Mother He was staggered by her, but she didn't show any complaints. Seeing that there was no one around, she sincerely said to Mei Niang: "I think the old slave can't speak, and Grandma misunderstood you! Grandma is A smart person, now that he has given birth to brother Heng, he should know the difference between concubines and concubines. In the future, there may be aunts who give birth to concubine sons and daughters. Will the eldest grandma treat them as brother Heng? The eldest wife has always been the worst What I like is the concubine's father and daughter. They usually come to say hello, and they are only allowed to stand on the porch in front of the door to salute. Now when the eldest wife falls ill, they can enter the room and enter the bedroom of the upper room. That day the two concubines came to visit Well, grandma doesn't know, the eldest wife almost lost her anger, she was angry, how can a person like her be willing to let them see her like this? Qiuhua Courtyard is the yard specially chosen by the old waiter for his wife , the main room is the upper room, how can these people come in and point fingers? No matter whether it is Mrs. Lin or Mrs. Zhou, no one can even think about living in this yard! The wife's heart is only here: the waiter is not free, grandma No matter how busy you are, you can come to Qiuhua Courtyard every day to take care of the nurses, serve soup and medicine, and have your own servants. Grandma only needs to say a few words to dissuade them from coming too often, and don't enter the room Come... Ma'am, I really don't like it!"

Mei Niang finally understood, she breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed again: As expected of someone from the Zheng family, there are indeed similarities, and her mind is not normal—— Zheng Meiyu is vicious, and in order to marry Xu Junying, she deliberately schemed to harm others, kissing her. My cousin didn't let go either.Mrs. Zheng hated her aunt and concubines and concubines in her heart. She was on the verge of perversion. She would not let people in when they came to say hello on weekdays. She just stood at the bottom of the steps to salute. She regarded herself as the queen of Xu's parents' house!She was so ill that the concubine, concubine and daughter-in-law would come to take care of her because they respected her as his wife and concubine, but she didn't appreciate it!Seeing these people sitting peacefully in her upper room, which symbolizes the authority of the mistress, actually added to her heart disease and aggravated her illness?Mother He is the roundworm in Mrs. Zheng's belly. Of course she has the same perverted mentality as her master. She is just a servant, and the sons and daughters of the Xu family are also masters. She can't stop them from entering the upper room and approaching Mrs. Zheng. She didn't dare to reveal anything in front of her, but she dared to say this to Meiniang. Apart from thinking that Meiniang and the eldest wife are regular wives and should have the same ideas, she also felt that with the support of the eldest wife, Meiniang smoothly took over the post of Hou Fuzhong. With a heart of gratitude, he personally served the eldest wife, presided over the Qiuhua Courtyard, and let the concubines and concubines stand aside to maintain the dignity of Mrs. Zheng's main family.

Mei Niang said: "Mom, have you worried too much? My wife has always been a virtuous woman, and she is well versed in the rules of our residence. The men and girls in the mansion, even if they are concubines, are also born to good concubines. There is not much difference between concubine and concubine. Anyone can inherit the title, not to mention taking over from a brother and taking care of a sick aunt, this is due to filial piety - this is what the elders of the clan pay attention to every time the clan sacrifices! Mom is an old man in the house, doesn't she know more than me? Today is confused! It’s late, I have to go to see the old lady of Jinhuatang, and then go to Ziyuntang to ask questions. Come, I will come to accompany the eldest lady at night!"

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Mama He and called Cuixi, and the master and servant left quickly.

You don’t accept a good daughter-in-law doing filial piety in front of the bed, you have to wait for the eldest daughter-in-law to come, and it’s not that Nezha has three heads and six arms, and he’s tired after working for a long time, and he has to accompany the patient in the middle of the night and serve soup and medicine. Occasionally it’s okay, It's like this every day, unless it's my own mother and father, otherwise it's impossible!
Walking quickly to Jinhua Hall, I met Bai Jingyu on the curved corridor, Bai Jingyu greeted her with a blessing, Meiniang returned the gift, and asked her how the old lady was doing, if she didn't need to serve her, she wouldn't want to go there.

Bai Jingyu smiled and didn't answer, looked at Cuixi behind Meiniang, and whispered to Xiangyu who was beside her to go to the front and wait. Seeing this, Meiniang also let Cuixi go first, then Bai Jingyu smiled and said: "Since Here I am, I must go in to say hello! I know that my sister-in-law has been a little busy these days, and she has to go back to her mother's house to visit after entering the palace. As much as you did in the past, to make the ancestors happy, it's good to pass!"

Mei Niang said: "I have you to take care of the affairs of the mansion these few days, so I can walk around without worry. I am really tired when I come back from the palace. My natal sister-in-law is going to have a baby again. How can I ignore it? I want to go back to take care of Yi Er, fortunately, my sister-in-law is lucky and gave birth to twins, even though I am tired, I am also very happy, it was already very late when I returned to the mansion last night!"

Bai Jingyu showed a look of surprise and envy: "Two babies! In a blink of an eye, you will have both children, ah! The grandma of my in-laws is really a blessing!"

Mei Niang smiled: "It's good, it's been hard work. She suffered from pain for almost a day and a night before she gave birth... By the way, I went to the palace this time to see a very good doctor, and I asked for you, because I couldn't Diagnosing the pulse, I just roughly said what you said. The imperial doctor said that your pathogen was caused by a small childbirth. He gave two prescriptions. I didn’t take them with me. I asked Cuixi to send them to you at night. One is to pick up herbs. Eat the decocted soup, one picks up medicinal herbs and boils them in water to wash them, and after one or two months of conditioning, it will gradually get better!"

The expression on Bai Jingyu's face became more complicated, joy and gratitude at the same time, the circles of her eyes were reddish, and at the end she only said one sentence: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Mei Niang shook her head: "You don't need to thank me! I want you to get better, so I can take over the affairs of the Houfu. I won't be able to take care of the house in the near future. This and that are very complicated. I don't know where to start——I know you are smart and capable. You are a powerful person, but you have your own principles for dealing with the world, and the Hou Mansion is in the hands of you and Ru Lan, and if you two agree and do not deceive each other, there will be no mistakes!"

Bai Jingyu was stunned for a moment, looked at her, and said softly: "Did sister-in-law hear something? In fact, there are some things that you don't know. When it passes, just pretend it didn't happen. I used to say that elder brother treats you indifferently. I saw it with my own eyes, and I believed it. It was because you were not in good health after a serious illness, and your husband and wife have been separated for too long, and your relationship has faded. Now I don’t believe that elder brother neglected you in order to marry a new man. I don’t know how to say it, anyway. I feel that the old lady still can't get what she wants this time - I heard from the second master before that the cousin Zhuang lived in the mansion since she was a child, and the old lady only let her get close to the uncle, the second master, and the third master, but she only likes to be with the uncle. In one place, when I saw the second and third masters, I avoided them from a distance, not to mention the other masters, they didn't look directly at them, the second masters were not stupid, they had understood the old lady's mind long ago, only the uncle seemed to be indifferent to everything. I don't understand, but he treats Cousin Zhuang the same as he treats the girls in the mansion. There is nothing special about it... After the sister-in-law left with the girl and the old woman yesterday afternoon, two nuns came to the palace and had a close relationship with the old lady. We talked in the room for a while, drank a cup of tea, and left. Cousin Zhuang went in and saw the old lady come out, she was very happy, and told me that she wanted to go to Tsinghua University to see roses, so I went with her, to Tsinghua University The courtier only glanced at the roses, saying that he was thirsty and wanted to enter the house for tea. The doorkeeper opened the door slowly, and she led the women and servants in, but she didn't dare to move anything, just sat around. Look, I was the one who taught her: take the opportunity to measure the place, so that you can buy new furniture at that time, she is a no-brainer, so she did it, and went into the study to see the old man's bed, saying that the old man's mattress was too old and thin, which made Jin The lock leader went back to Jinhuatang, she brought a new quilt from her own room, spread it out by herself, I just watched from the sidelines, and let her do it... She has committed all the taboos that a lady should not commit, there is a decree So what if the marriage is bestowed and the old lady decides? Just watch, she won't please the uncle after all, and the uncle still belongs to you!"

Mei Niang looked at Bai Jingyu with some headaches: "You, what are you doing? Don't mess with me, I'm not like you, I don't mind who gets the favor of the uncle!"

Bai Jingyu pursed her lips: "Really? But I heard from Rulan that my sister-in-law once said in front of her face: no matter whether it is a concubine or a good concubine, no one wants to enter Tsinghua University!"

Meiniang was stunned: Rulan actually remembered what she said hundreds of years ago, and she even told Bai Jingyu, really!

"How did I ever say that? Don't believe her!"

Mei Niang categorically denied it, and Bai Jingyu couldn't help laughing, and the two of them said a few more words. It was getting late, Bai Jingyu left and went to Ziyun Hall, and Meiniang came to Jinhua Hall.

Mrs. Xu was having breakfast with Zhuang Yulan, Xu Xiaowan, and Xu Xiaomin, while the fifth grandma, Fang Shi, was standing by and taking care of her.

Mei Niang saluted and greeted the old lady. Old lady Xu raised her eyelids to look at her, and handed a plate of Sixi meatballs to Xu Xiaomin: "Good granddaughter, eat this, this is delicious!"

Xu Xiaomin thanked her grandmother, pulled a Sixi ball into her bowl with a spoon, glanced at Meiniang, but didn't speak, Xu Xiaowan's mouth moved, Zhuang Yulan gave her a crystal dumpling, and said with a smile:
"The dumplings are very good, the third sister has a try!"

Mei Niang groaned in her heart: There is no wind today, what kind of tricks are the old and the young singing?Bai Jingyu said that the person who came to the palace yesterday must have been sent by the old lady, and he didn't care if he said anything bad about her, if he wasn't welcome, he just said it, and it would be best if he didn't come over to pay his respects in the future, so as to save everyone from pretending to be hard.
