Chapter 94 The First Lady Is Sick

Zheng's mother didn't expect the eldest lady to react like this, and she was suddenly angry.She and Ms. Liu were old acquaintances when they were in Duke Zhao's mansion. They had grown from a girl to a mother in charge. There was still some affection. As they walked out, they said to Ms. Liu: "Ma'am, this is too unreasonable." To put it bluntly, in the final analysis, the family and sisters are the closest, our wife has always put the eldest lady first, why is it so embarrassing for the eldest lady to preside over justice now." Speaking of this After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Mother Liu, "Tell me the truth, the Duke's Mansion has always been headed by the Da Furen, so why did I feel a little scruples about the Second Wife when I heard what the Da Fu Fu said. In the Duke’s mansion, food, drink and clothes are all for the Duke, no matter what happens, it’s not the Da Furen’s expression on the second room, what’s going on?”

Listening to Mama Zheng's words, Mama Liu sneered in her heart, when did Mrs. Anping Hou put their wives first.However, it was not easy to show it in front of Mama Zheng, so I had to lower my voice and say, "The second master is Mrs. Tai's youngest son. How can you say that he is not partial to the pain. Our wife is also in a difficult situation. If something like this happens, I'm afraid too much." Madam, our wife has to be the first to eat. You go back and persuade Madam Hou not to be angry, and our wife is also in a difficult situation. This big family must be considerate in every way, and we will come here wherever we can."

"Could it be that our wife's slap was for nothing?"

"Then what about the scars on our second master's face?"

"You...why do you turn your elbows outward?"

"I don't want to be abducted. You have to think about how embarrassing our eldest lady is. Now I don't know how to explain to Mrs. Tai."

The words were not speculative, and Mama Zheng left angrily. Mama Liu looked at her back and spat, dissatisfied.All the way back to the main courtyard, Liu's mother felt a little distressed when she saw the frowning look of the eldest lady, and said in a low voice: "Madam, what should we do about this matter?"

The eldest lady said angrily: "How do I know what to do? Since last night, I have wondered why the master mentioned Anpinghou for no reason, and warned me not to have too close contact with them. Now I finally know how to answer It’s over, the feelings beat the second master.”

Mother Liu also felt that this matter was tricky, and after thinking about it, she said: "This matter is a bit strange. How could the well-behaved second lady have trouble with Mrs. Hou? Although the second lady doesn't rub the sand in her eyes, it is not the kind of unreasonable attack. people."

The eldest lady looked up at Liu's mother, "You mean that the second lady knows something. I also suspected that someone had leaked the news."

Mother Liu nodded, "I think the second lady doesn't care about anything, but there must be some people in the mansion for so many years. If the second lady really knows about this..." Liu's mother looked bitter, and the two Madam's temper is not fun, and she won't vent her anger on Da Madam, I'm afraid they will be unlucky to be slaves these days.

"In the future, if you have nothing to do, don't hang around in front of the second lady. Even if something really happens, you just let the little girl go and let you know." The eldest lady waved her hand feebly, "I'll go to the lady's place for a while."

"The old slave will accompany you." Liu's mother immediately helped the eldest lady get up, change her clothes and comb her hair, and followed the eldest lady to the grand lady's place.

Mrs. Tai looked at the eldest lady with a disturbed face, and it was rare that she didn't get angry. She pointed to the round stool beside her and said, "Master, sit down."

The eldest lady was even more disturbed. If the old lady scolded her face to face, it would be over, but now she didn't even have a clue in her heart. After thinking about it, she walked over and sat down, looking at the old lady with her back straight. Madame, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is here to make amends for you..."

"Let's not talk about this for now." Mrs. Tai interrupted Mrs. Da, waved her hand to make everyone in the room retreat, Mama Cui lowered the curtain and kept outside, and sighed secretly.

The Da Furen clasped the veil tightly with both hands, her face was slightly pale, she didn't know what the Tai Furen would say.

"In the blink of an eye, you have been in our Dong's house for more than ten years. These days are like quicksand slipping through your fingers. Looking back, I am already old and out of shape. You have to watch There will be a daughter-in-law and a son-in-law."

The eldest lady hurriedly nodded in agreement, the smile on her face was as stiff as if she had applied several layers of paste, "What you said is, looking back, it's not like ten years have passed so quickly."

Listening to Da Furen's words, Madam Tai smiled, and the smile on her face became more warm. Looking at a clump of plantains outside the window, she pointed and said, "Look, the pomegranate tree next to the plantains was planted when you first entered the door. Yes, they are thick and strong now, and in summer they are like a cover, and they are a good place to enjoy the cool air."

The eldest lady's eyes fell on the pomegranate tree outside, her eyes turned red, and she felt a little guilty, "At the beginning, my daughter-in-law had been in the house for three years, but she still couldn't conceive a child. It was my mother who heard that the variety of pomegranate trees at home can produce Many sons and grandchildren, the family planted a lot of pomegranates that year, even one in your yard. You took me everywhere to pray to God and worship Buddha, suppressing the restless concubines around the master not to give birth to concubines The emperor's daughter-in-law gave birth to Yuncheng, and later she gave birth to Wan'er." As the eldest lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her voice was a little choked.

No matter what kind of family it is, if the first wife is infertile for three years, the concubine's room has already been cut off and Zitang gave birth to a child.She lived in trepidation in those days and couldn't sleep well day and night, but Mrs. Tai was able to suppress the eldest son so that she could not give birth to a concubine's eldest son, and even sold two concubines with ulterior motives. She seeks medical advice everywhere, even now she remembers Mrs. Tai's kindness.She has been serving Mrs. Tai for so many years with sincerity, even if she has occasional complaints, she swallows them down.

"Do you know why I did this back then?" Mrs. Tai looked at Mrs. Da Furen's eyes gradually sharpened.

The lady's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't answer for a while.

"In ancient times, there was a difference between the concubine and the concubine, but any family that messed up the concubine would cause disaster and gradually decline. As the head of the Dong family, she must put aside her own likes and dislikes and think about future generations. Yuzhou Xue's family is my natal family, so you can see that I have done things for my natal family to harm my in-law's family for so many years? Even if I watched Xue's family fall into the quagmire step by step, I didn't even raise a finger, do you know why?"

The lady's face gradually turned pale, and she didn't dare to sit anymore, so she stood up and listened to the training.

"If I extend my hand for my natal family today, the members of the Dong family will be able to take this and let me help their families in the future. Ants kill elephants, even the Dong family's great business can't stand such a toss. There are no rules, If you don't convince others with virtue and reason, you can become someone else's excuse if you have something wrong with yourself. How can the Dong family's century-old foundation be ruined on the greed, ignorance and ignorance of a housewife? The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest, don't you want to look at this When the century-old foundation fell into your son's hands, it was already full of desolation and riddled with holes?"

The eldest lady broke out in cold sweat, almost sat down on the ground, swayed a few times, then knelt down on the ground, "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows it's wrong."

Mrs. Tai didn't even look at Mrs. Madam, she just stood up, "What is the reason why I abandoned my natal family and my own son, you should think about it carefully, if you still can't figure it out..." Mrs. Tai didn't say anything Go down, lift your foot and walk out.

The eldest lady knelt on the ground, her whole body seemed to be soaked in cold water, her face was pale as if she had rolled out of the snow in a single coat.

Mother Cui watched Mrs. Tai come out and hurriedly stepped forward to support her. She didn't see Mrs. Tai coming out, so she had some ideas in her heart, and helped Mrs. Tai to the next room to rest, "May I make you a cup of tea? "

Mrs. Tai shook her head, "I'm a little crooked."

Mother Cui hurriedly put the soft pillow behind Mrs. Tai, and whispered: "Don't be sad, Mrs. Da is just lost for a while, and she will understand."

Mrs. Tai's eyes sharpened, "If she doesn't understand, she doesn't need to be a housekeeper anymore. My Dong family's foundation is not for her to use as a favor. Let's just watch the second girl's marriage, and she won't be able to live in peace."

Mother Cui was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"If there is no Bei'an Hou Mansion, everything can be said, but the emperor has promoted the marquis of the Xing family. The second girl's life can't be said to be good or bad, but it just happens to catch up with her. Blessed or unlucky is just a matter of thought." After Madam finished speaking, she closed her eyes. Mother Cui didn't dare to disturb her, she covered Madam Tai with a thin blanket, and quietly backed out.

The sun outside the house gradually warmed up, but Cui's mother felt chilly all over.Mrs. Tai has always been very guilty of the second master, and now it is Mrs. Tai who is the most uncomfortable.Mrs. Tai always said that there is only gain if you give up. She saved the Dong family's foundation, but sacrificed her son's future.

The lady is sick!
It was already the second day when Huiyu heard the news, looked at her girl and said, "Who did you listen to, the news is reliable?"

"It was revealed by the third-class girl next to the eldest girl. She said that the mother in charge of Mrs. Anpinghou's side came the first day. The eldest lady went to Mrs. Tai's place. After returning, she felt a little bad. She woke up the next day. Fever, it is said that she is still groggy." Xue Qi said in a low voice, who would dare to shout about such a thing.

Huiyu lowered her head in thought. It seems that Mrs. Tai reprimanded Mrs. Anping because of Mrs. Anpinghou's matter, but she didn't know how to reprimand her, but it made Mrs. Ma feel sick from fright.Huiyu's expression was also a little bit bad. Watching this scene, she understood the natural oppression between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.The eldest lady is the wife of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, and she is the person in power in charge of the family. If she goes out, she is a master who everyone fawns on, but what about in front of Mrs. Tai?

Mrs. Tai only needs a few words to scare her into sickness.

Even Mrs. Dong, who is as arrogant as the second lady, has not been able to hide from Mrs. Tai for so many years, and has never confronted her head-on.

"I see, you go to my private treasury to see if there are any good ginseng, and follow me to the big sister's place for a while." Huiyu said slowly, since Mrs. Tai suppressed Mrs. Da, then they At this time, Erfang should create a picture of brothers respecting each other, sisters-in-law in harmony, and sisters getting along well.In fact, Mrs. Tai did this to give Erfang a hint, to reassure them.

But they can't really continue to mess around unscrupulously with Mrs. Tai's intentions, they need to stop in moderation.

Mrs. Dong Er heard that her daughter was going to Dong Wan's place, but she didn't show up as an excuse to take care of the scratched Master Dong Er, and brought a gift for Huiyu to take over.Huiyu was relieved to see that her mother could at least save face, she was afraid that her donkey temper would come up and be ignored.But from what she said, it seems that Mrs. Dong Er has never done anything that is too harmful to others.

Dong Wan welcomed Huiyu in with a smile, and the two sisters sat opposite each other, Huiyu put out the gift first, and said with a smile: "My mother gave it to my aunt to take care of her, and I have to take care of my father. Come here, and please don't be offended by my aunt and sister."

"What are you talking about, Second Uncle's matter..." Dong Wan glanced at Huiyu in embarrassment, "Is Second Uncle okay now?"

Huiyu shook her head, "I don't know, my father hides from people all day long, and you know it's hurt on his face." Then she took out the ginseng she brought, "I don't have anything good, this one The ginseng was bought by my mother when I was in poor health, to make up for my aunt."

Dong Wan thanked her, and looked at Hui Yu as if she was watching a joke. After all, she felt that her mother was unreliable, but she didn't know how to apologize for a while. Some things are actually shameless to say.But it can't be stalemate like this, and after these days, Dong Wan can be considered to understand that she thinks that the second wife of the Dong family is useless, but it is her mother who has something wrong and fell ill now.

"Second Sister, I apologize to Second Aunt on behalf of my mother." Dong Wan solemnly stood up and said to Huiyu.

"Sit down quickly." Huiyu took Dong Wan's hand and said, "Big sister, we don't care about the elders' affairs, we have our grandmother here. But I think we are also a family and sisters. In the future, big sister Don't hide from me."

Dong Wan forced a laugh, "How can it be like this, I'm happy whenever you come."

Huiyu sat down for a while and got up to leave. Dong Wan personally sent Huiyu out, and when she reached the door, she said, "Second sister, in fact, sometimes I am very envious."

Huiyu turned her head to look at Dong Wan, "We are each other, sometimes I am very envious of big sister."

The two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, shaking hands and making peace.

The Dong family is not restless inside, but the outside is not calm. The most talked about these days is the mysterious man who played chess with Master Wen. It's just that this man has never seen the end, but he has become a legend.

Huiyu looked at the table full of things, looked up at Mrs. Dong Er, and asked, "Mother, what's going on?"

Mrs. Dong Er said triumphantly: "It's all for you."

There are a lot of things on the table, but most of them are things used by men. The best pens, inks, papers and inkstones have not been opened, there are dozens of volumes of well-preserved ancient paintings by famous masters, and there are gold and jade playthings that are often played with at first glance. The workmanship is exquisite, and Huiyu understands it when he looks at it.

"These are all...father's?" Actually, I really don't want to call Master Dong the father, but in order not to be charged with unfilial piety, Huiyu has to admit it reluctantly, not to mention that Mrs. Dong hates it to death. When Mr. Dong Er mentioned it to his daughter, it belonged to your father and your father. It can be seen that if the husband and wife break their heads, their names cannot be changed.

Mrs. Dong Er didn't seem to hear what her daughter said, so she picked up one, looked at it, and threw it back, saying casually: "You can figure it out, keep the ones you like, and keep the ones you don't like for your brother." That’s it. Anyway, even if you play with me, you can’t make it cheaper for others.”

Mrs. Dong Er came like a gust of wind, and then left like a gust of wind, leaving behind a bunch of good things.

Huiyu had a headache and asked people to sort and put away the things, and copied a booklet for her to see how the two brothers and sisters should divide the spoils.

In the room, Xueqi took Bingke Bingyue and two little girls to clean up. Xueqi walked in now, saw Huiyu reading a book on the kang, quietly walked over and leaned over and said, "Girl, Xia It’s a post from the eldest daughter of the family’s second room.” As he spoke, he handed over the post in his hand.

Huiyu sat up straight, Xia Yingbai's post?When I opened it, I couldn't help but smile. It turned out that I asked her to go swimming in the lake.In Beijing, there is a lake in Jifangyuan where you can take a swim, but Jifangyuan is the territory of the Tong family, and what will happen in Uncle Jinrong's mansion still makes her feel lingering. She doesn't want to swim in the lake and meet Ji Fuyan again. Two wolves, Ji Qiyu and Ji Qiyu.

Moreover, doesn't Xia Yingbai think it's a bit dangerous to swim in the lake on the eve of the draft?
Having said that, I looked at the last sentence of the post, which must have four words, and gradually narrowed my eyes. What is Xia Yingbai going to do, or...someone is going to do to Xia Yingbai, so that I can save the situation?

Although Huiyu is willing to make friends with Xia Yingbai, it doesn't mean that he is willing to be a stepping stone for others, so he looked at Xueying and said, "Take Mama Zhong to Miss Zhang's place for a walk, and ask her if she can go." Go swimming in the lake, I want to be with her."

If you ask Zhang Yuqiong like this, she will definitely reveal something to herself.If you don't go, you will inevitably be separated from Xia Yingbai, and if you go, you will not be safe by yourself. If Zhang Yuqiong and Guo Tong both go, she will be relieved.
