A world of glory

Mama Sun, Aunt Wang, and Lin San's wife, these three names lingered in the second wife's mind.The second wife thought about it for a while, and finally understood a little bit, she was furious immediately, she didn't show her face at all, she still smiled and asked Yaohua: "I just remembered, it's not common for her to follow Aunt Wang." By your side. Why can't this mother often walk around in the mansion?"

Yaohua replied with a smile: "It's not considered to be walking, I only see her playing cards and drinking with wives and wives, I think it's just a sneaky game while I'm free."

The second wife raised her eyebrows, her heart became more and more unhappy, she just turned her head and said indifferently: "Why, there is still that decent person who eats wine and makes money in the garden, it is really getting better. here."

As he was talking, he saw that he had already arrived in front of the Huici Hall. Caiyun, the eldest maid next to the old lady, was sending the little girl to feed the fish. When she saw the second wife coming, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Greetings, grandma."

The second wife hurriedly ordered Yaohua to help Caiyun get up, and then asked with a smile: "Is the old lady awake, how is your appetite today?"

Caiyun listened to the second wife's question, and quickly replied with a smile: "Last night, the wind blew all night, the leaves rustled, the old lady tossed and turned all night, and this morning she woke up at dawn. I just used it." A bowl of porridge, and I boast that the chicken breast tastes good on the plate, but I can’t eat more.”

The second wife was still a little worried at first, but she also laughed when she heard what Caiyun said, and said: "It's not a precious thing, it's just good for the old lady to eat, and I can let the kitchen cook it another day." He also instructed Caiyun: "It's just that although these things are good for your mouth, they are very oily things after all. The old lady is also there, so you should persuade them on weekdays."

Before he finished speaking, a little maid came to ask the second wife to go in, and the second wife followed without saying a word.When Fang entered the room, he saw that the window was bright and clean. The old lady was sitting on the recliner and was chatting with two old mothers. Seeing the second wife coming in, she hurriedly smiled and said, "This is my granddaughter-in-law." Then she smiled at the second wife: "This is my old sister from my mother's family, please meet me."

The second wife has such a thoughtful mind, she hurriedly came forward to greet her with a smile, and the two nuns were also the masters of the eldest daughter, so they hurriedly returned the gift, and then boasted with a smile: "This grandma is a bit like the second wife." When the girl was young, she was pleasing just by looking at her appearance."

After hearing this, the old lady pulled the second wife to her side, and said affectionately: "No, it doesn't look like this, but her temperament is similar to that of Yunniang, and she is also a talkative and laughable person, but not cute. No way." Then he smiled and asked the two nuns: "Speaking of which, ever since Laohou and I entered Beijing, we have less and less contact with our family, so I don't know how Yunniang is doing now?"

The two nuns looked at each other, and said with a smile: "The second girl is not bad in health, but she can't get away from her body. This time, the younger one came to Beijing, and she specially sent something back, so that the younger ones can give it to her." big girl."

The old lady smiled and said: "She is eight years younger than me, but it's not the time to worry, but I have gone to be an old marquis, but I eat, sleep and count the days every day." Laughing, she took it again Pazi wiped the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "As this man gets old, he misses the past even more. Now that he's here, he should leave some time to tell me about the family affairs."

The two nuns were also knowledgeable, and smiled flatteringly: "The big girl is full of children and grandchildren, and now is not the time to enjoy the blessings. Don't say whether to stay or not, even if you don't stay, the younger ones should also come to invite them every day." A few times, my wish came true." After a few more gossips, the old lady ordered someone to lead the two nuns out to resettle them.

Seeing that the two nuns had gone far away, the second wife smiled and said: "The old lady used to talk about being bored, but now it's all right, with her mother's family accompanying her to chat and laugh, even her energy is better than usual, today You should eat two more bowls of rice at noon."

The old lady laughed and scolded: "But I drank a few more bottles of vinegar secretly. I ate brother Yi's vinegar before, and now I pick up the sourness of relatives. It is like this on weekdays. Tomorrow, Ruoxin will add a few people to brother's room. It’s no longer a vinegar kiln.”

The shy second wife's face was full of clouds, and she said directly: "Who cares about the people in his room, what does it have to do with me, I don't know which one is jealous?" The maids also covered their mouths and laughed.

Seeing this, the second wife stomped her feet, she couldn't be more ashamed, she smiled at the old lady and said: "I would like to add a few more people in the room, and I don't have to order the girl to knock my legs and back, and I have nothing to do , it’s better to gather a few tables of leaf cards, it’s not too busy.”

The old lady laughed even more.Pointing to the second wife, he said, "You monkey, you make arrangements all day long. Today it's your aunt who arranges it. Let's see how she will deal with you when she comes over."

The second wife didn't panic, but said again: "How about the arrangement, don't talk about anything else, just the nurses around the brothers and the companion room of the aunt are enough to sit at a table, not to mention the other girls and so on .”

"What nanny is accompanying the room? Su girl is making up some jokes again." Madam and Master Hou came in to say hello to the old lady. Hearing what the second wife said, Madam hurriedly asked with a smile.

The old lady's smile faded a little, and she just said: "This monkey has been arranged in your yard today, it should be cleaned up." Why not.

The second wife just smiled and said: "Where did I arrange it? I was wrong when I talked about this leaf play. The nurses of the brothers are only liked by grandma, and I can't make it up if I want to."

The madam smiled, and said: "You should also take Xing'er away, where did my brother's nanny come from to play cards, it's just a lie made up by you."

After hearing this, the second wife replied seemingly unintentionally: "Why did I make it up? All the servants in the house know that Mama Sun likes to play cards the most, and she is the best friend with the third daughter-in-law Lin who died yesterday. I often eat wine with my daughter-in-law and mother-in-law." As soon as these words came out, the countenance of Lord Hou, Madam, and the old lady all changed.As if her eyes were dazzled, the old lady pulled Master Hou to gossip and mentioned the matter of the visitor from her hometown.

Lord Hou greeted the old lady, and said: "I still have some business to do today, so I will go back first, and come back later to accompany my mother for dinner."

The old lady said with a smile: "You go, business is important, and Su girl and Brother Xian's mother are talking with me." Hou Yefang resigned.

After leaving the Huici Hall, Master Hou ordered Master Zhou with a cold face, "Go and bring that grandma to me." Master Zhou saw that Master Hou looked unhappy, and he also had some speculations in his heart, but he followed Master Hou all year round. Beside him, he was well aware of the difference between superior and inferior, so he tied the grandma to the front yard as ordered.

Hou Ye got angry with his wife because of what happened a few days ago, and because of his wife's crying, he accumulated anger in his heart, and he also accumulated a stomach full of shame. Hearing Su girl's words today, it seems like Madam's grievance It's true, I have been in the officialdom for many years, but I was deceived by my servants.All of a sudden, the book ignited and started again, and the guilt in my heart was even greater.

Although Mama Sun is a nanny, she is very respectable in the mansion. In the past few years, she has been pampered and cared about. It's a matter of life, but the mouth is hard for a while, and the bamboo tube pours beans and says something refreshing.

What spreading rumors about people, what instigating the manager of the drug storehouse to change the medicine, what instigating the daughter-in-law to imitate the right card? He's greedy, so no one can blame him. It's just for my aunt and elder brother to vent my anger."

The angry Hou Ye, with blue eyes and red eyes, hurried to Aunt Wang's room.Aunt Wang was coaxing Brother Xiu, when she saw Master Hou come in, she was overjoyed at first, then surprised, before waiting for Master Hou to react, she knelt down and said, "Since Master Hou is here, I also know the purpose of coming. Temporarily appease your anger, please listen to my concubine's words, from now on, kill or scrape, let Hou Ye handle it."

Without waiting for Master Hou to nod, Aunt Wang smiled and said: "Thanks to Master Hou's pity, it has been seven years since Lianyi entered the mansion. During these seven years, although Lianyi did not often serve around, she was also fortunate to be favored and gave birth to her." Xiu'er. Master Hou thought that he had already interrogated Sun's mother when he came here, but he just didn't know why Lianyi acted like this."

Seeing that Master Hou was so angry, Aunt Wang actually laughed out loud, and said with a smile: "Actually, I am just for showing my brother. I can't see through Madam's temperament, I can't figure it out, and I don't know if she is real or not. I don't know, or I don't know, what her companion did. The eldest son judges his status and ability, even if he doesn't rely on the mansion. He is also able to attract others, but he is forced to hide in the yard Dare to move around. The second girl is also a formidable person, and she was forced to stare at Brother Wen's yard all day long. The third girl is motherless, so there is no other way to force her. She only relies on the second wife to protect her. The concubine's family background is not good, and Wen Ge'er has been implicated, and I don't want him to suffer this kind of crime in the future, so I have to take a risk and make some calculations."

Hou Ye said angrily: "You can say Ma'am is sorry for you, but Yi'er has something for you. Not only are you ungrateful, but you are even more slanderous."

Aunt Wang smiled, and said: "Eldest Young Master is a good man and good at things, there is nothing wrong with that. But who will let this brother in the house. Only his uncle is the great general of the dynasty. If There were only a few incidents related to his wife's accompanying room. According to Lord Hou's temperament, at most, let his wife rest. Only when the eldest son's life is hanging by a thread, the concubine will order someone to spread the news. The general feels sorry for his nephew, once it is found out that it is related to his wife, no matter what the Zhou family's attitude is, Hou Ye must divorce his wife. If he divorces his wife, Hou Ye will not remarry for the sake of his brother, concubine I can also watch Brother Xiu grow up with peace of mind." After saying this, Aunt Wang bowed again: "I know that I have committed a serious crime, and I think it is inevitable that I will die, but I can't worry about Brother Xiu. Concubine The body only asks for the matter of Lord Hou. After the concubine dies, I will hand over brother Xiu to the old lady to raise him. If the old lady lives a day, brother Xiu can live a day. If the old lady goes away, I can only blame brother Xiu Life is poor and no blessing.

After listening to the words from the bottom of my heart, Master Hou was filled with emotion. Aunt Wang bowed, stood up again and said with a smile, "Master Hou still remembers the song I sang when I first met him." Suddenly she began to sing softly: "When singing, the eyebrows are black and the waist is dancing, and everywhere is charming. The chrysanthemum is cut for the first time, and I want to climb high. The weather is timid. The purple silk barrier, the green poplar bridge. The road is long. Let's sing in wine, Once you return, once your soul disappears."

If you don't look at Aunt Wang's face, just listen to the singing, but it is mellow, soft and touching. When she sings a sentence, Aunt Wang suddenly pulls out the golden hairpin on her head, stabs fiercely in the heart, and said with a gentle smile: "More Advise you, drink up the Zixia cup." Tried to turn his head to look, but he was already powerless and fell to the ground without making a sound.Brother Xiu, who had already fallen asleep, seemed to be awakened by a nightmare, and burst into tears.

Aunt Wang committed suicide in fear of crime, so Lord Hou could only sigh and explain the matter to the old lady.The old lady was the most kind-hearted, and when she heard Aunt Wang's final entrustment, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sighed: "This child is really confused. Anyway, brother Xiu is innocent, since he entrusted it to me , just keep them in my yard."

Lord Hou sighed, and said: "It's all children who are unfilial, and they have to work so hard for the mother."

The old lady only comforted and said: "What kind of filial piety is not filial, no matter what, it is your flesh and blood, and you can't let the maidservant bring it up, and it doesn't look good." You should also have a clear eye, don't delay brother Xiu's future because of the present." Hou Ye sighed helplessly, and retreated again.

Aunt Wang died of sudden illness, as if she had wings, it flew all over the two prefectures.The maids and women sighed for a while, but they were really unlucky, and went looking for other gossip.In the Jingsong Courtyard, Qin Yi was reading a book, only glanced at the flower tree outside the window and sighed: "This spring is too early."

"What poem are you reading again, young master? Don't worry about your body again." Peiyu hurried over with tea and persuaded with a smile.

The moon and the stars were thin and the silver light was bright. Madam sat in front of the mirror, combed her hair, and sighed with a smile: "It's really safe and secure in the boudoir and in the house, but it's so confusing. Don't blame the ancients for their words. Since ancient times, beauties have been so miserable. "

The accompanying roommate of the Zhou family held the mirror case and said flatteringly: "Madam is generous, and even buried Aunt Wang generously. According to the slave girl's mind, even the thin coffin was wasted."

The madam smiled dignifiedly, and said: "What a waste, if she hadn't done such a stupid thing, the old lady and Lord Hou wouldn't have looked at me differently. I can't treat her badly for this credit, otherwise , I should feel bad about it.”

The laughter was faint, the branches outside the window swayed with the wind, and the light and shadow were mottled.The sound of the wind is desolate, the sleeves are cold, suddenly like a ghost, lingering and weeping, it is almost inaudible.Chanjuan cleared the air, Heng'e stopped talking, and the sky was bright and clear for a while.
