Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 176

This night, the masters in the Rongguo Mansion were destined to have another sleepless night.

Jiamu leaned on the couch, watching Yuanyang arranging the jewelry, and suddenly asked: "Today, Yu'er came to the house, did you see it?" When I ordered to visit Second Grandma, I saw Miss Lin. Miss Lin looked good, and she didn't cough during the handover during the spring break."

Jia Mu nodded and lay down: "I'm also afraid of the smog in the house, and someone will bump into her again." Yuanyang came over to help Jia Mu cover the quilt, and said with a smile: "The old lady is the first one who feels sorry for Lin Lin. Miss. Miss Lin is also very clear. No, I just heard from Hu Po that although Miss Lin didn’t come to visit you, she sent several ginsengs that are centuries old. She told us to remember to give them to you. Take it!"

Only then did Mother Jia smile: "It's hard to embarrass that girl, she is so thoughtful at such a young age!" Yuanyang knew what Mother Jia was thinking, and naturally said to her liking: "Don't underestimate the old lady. Ms. Lin, I heard that Ms. Lin is taking care of all the big and small things in the herb garden. And the embroidery building where the Lin family's business is booming is also under Ms. Lin's attention!"

Mother Jia sighed: "This is girl Feng's unique vision. At the beginning, no one was optimistic about Miss Lin's little tricks, but she invested a lot of money in it quietly, and she must be earning a lot of money now." Let's take a bath!"

Yuanyang smiled lightly. Although she was very curious about Mother Jia's attitude towards Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, she still suppressed her curiosity and said with a smile: "The old lady is also worried about her life. They are all such big people. Who cares?" You are always thinking about it. Go to sleep quickly, or you will lack energy tomorrow." As he spoke, he helped Jiamu put down the gauze curtain, while he lay down casually on Jiamu's footsteps.

Jia Musu likes Yuanyang's caring attitude.Although he still sighed for a long time, he still slowly fell asleep.

As for Mrs. Wang, it was even more difficult. Jia Zheng rested at Aunt Zhao's place as usual. Although Mrs. Wang hated it, she also knew that it was useless to fight because she was old and lustful, so she could only recite sutras night after night.It's hard to hope that Yuan Chun will get a position in the palace, and he will be honored with it.Unexpectedly, the queen's throne, which was originally in her pocket, disappeared inexplicably. Although Mrs. Wang hated it, she also knew that there was nothing she could do.

But this time when he entered the palace to watch martial arts, the invitation from the empress did not come for a long time.It's also annoying.

The girl Caixia lifted the curtain from the outside and brought some porridge and side dishes to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, it's already three o'clock. Would you like something to eat?" Mrs. Wang glanced at the big clock in the hall and sighed: "It's really It’s been a while. Is everyone settled in the mansion?”

Caixia smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, my concubine is very serious. Not only we have inspected here, but also inspected the garden in soft sedan chairs." Mrs. Wang smiled faintly.He said again, "Where is Baoyu? Can the girls still do their best?"

Caixia put the porridge and side dishes on the table in front of Mrs. Wang: "Jin Chuan'er is the safest one, why don't you worry about it?" Mrs. Wang smiled sincerely when she thought of Jin Chuan'er: "Now Thinking about it, it was really right to put the girl Jin Chuaner by Baoyu's side that day. Otherwise, she would have already attacked her meek temperament, and she couldn't control those little girls."

Caixia just smiled.It did not conform to Mrs. Wang's words.But she also agrees with Mrs. Wang's words, after all, Jin Chuan'er is still an innocent daughter no matter what, so it's hard to say about Xiren.Although Mrs. Wang did not mean to choose Xiren in the first place.But it's hard to believe that he did such a mediocre thing without showing his face.

"Tomorrow, you send some of my old clothes to Jin Chuan'er, and tell her that I will reward her for her hard work in the past few days. Also let those little girls be more vigilant. Don't just play around all day long. .It’s not easy for Qingwen to leave, so don’t provoke any foxes.”

Caixia replied: "Don't worry, ma'am. I can save it!" Madam Wang said again: "Tomorrow, you will order Zhou Rui's family to go and see Mr. Xia in person, and ask how your empress is doing in the palace these days?" Madam Wang gave a slight smile. After a pause, he changed his words again: "Forget it, you can ask Zhou Rui's family to come to the room early in the morning, and I will tell her personally."

Caixia smiled and said: "Okay, madam, hurry up and eat some, it's been a busy day, and I haven't eaten a few bites of dinner!" Mrs. Wang finally recovered her kind face: "Sit down and eat some with me too!"

After Caixia thanked her, she found a small pier to sit under the kang, and while laying out vegetables for Mrs. Wang, she said, "I heard the old lady say in a daze yesterday that I want to take Miss Xiangyun over for a few days. Ma'am, do you see?"

Mrs. Wang was slightly taken aback: "I see, you just do what the old lady says. You should wake up more on weekdays for things in the mansion. Don't rely on the aunt for everything. She is also weak. Don’t get sick again!” Caixia obediently responded, obviously, at this time, Caixia had become Mrs. Wang’s right-hand man in the housekeeping, and Caiyun, who came to Mrs. Wang’s side almost at the same time as Caixia, was close to Jia Huan. A little bit, but everywhere is on guard.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhou Rui's family came to wait outside Mrs. Wang's room early in the morning. When there was movement in the room, they came in with the maids to serve.Mrs. Wang saw Zhou Rui's family and said, "I remember that there is a pair of porcelain vases from the Ding Kiln in the warehouse. You collected them and sent them to Mr. Xia, and said that we haven't seen your mother these days. How are you doing?" Zhou Rui's family Naturally knowing the meaning of this, he took the order and left without asking any further questions.

Unexpectedly, before I walked out of Mrs. Wang's small courtyard, I heard a servant's announcement from outside: "Quickly go and tell your wife that the little yellow gate in the palace is here to deliver the Queen's Empress invitation. The old lady's yard, please hurry up, madam!"

Mrs. Wang couldn't help being overjoyed when she heard it, but when she heard that she had gone to Jia Mu's yard first, she couldn't help but feel a little bit hungry.But she didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly changed into big clothes and went to Jia Mu's yard.

As soon as he entered Jia Mu's yard, he heard laughter from the hall. It turned out that Mrs. Xing and Aunt Xue had arrived early, and they were talking to the little Huangmen.Xiao Huangmen is also very clever, coaxing Jiamu to be very happy with one sentence from the left.

Mrs. Wang came in and saluted cautiously: "My daughter-in-law has met my mother." Jia Mu smiled and said, "Get up quickly, it just so happens that this father-in-law is here to send the invitation to the Queen's Empress, and there will be a martial arts competition in the palace at the beginning of next month. Take Sanya to watch the ceremony together!"

Mrs. Wang was a little surprised: "Are you only bringing Sanya with you?"

Mother Jia sighed: "You are also confused. The second girl is taken by the eldest daughter-in-law, and the fourth girl is taken by Zhen Ge's daughter-in-law in that courtyard. But Bao girl, I also want to bring her in to see the world. But when the time comes, I have to trouble Eunuch Wen to give our mother a message."

Eunuch Wen smiled obsequiously at the side: "Look at what the old lady said, this is what we should share. The queen empress also said the day before yesterday that the girls in our Rongguo mansion are all first-class and good-looking, and she specifically confessed that she must Take it with you."

Jia's mother wondered: "Why is this? Could it be that the Empress has any special arrangements?" The little yellow gate looked around, and then said mysteriously: "To tell the truth, the old lady said, this time it is very important." It may be that the empress is going to help several princes choose their concubines. No, the third prince is already seventeen, and he doesn't even have a housemate around him. The emperor is very dissatisfied. He has raised it with the emperor several times, and even the empress It was blamed!"

Jia's mother's expression changed, and she smiled: "That's because Eunuch Lao brought the words. Yuanyang is going to serve tea for Eunuch Wen. After talking for a while, I didn't even drink my saliva!" Huangmen poured tea, and quietly stuffed a thin piece of paper to Xiaohuangmen.The little yellow door also knows the way inside, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Yuanyang!" Then he looked at Jia Mu, and said with a smile: "However, the elder brother who was born with a jade in the house is a good one. A few days ago, Concubine Han Guifei had been talking about it for a long time, saying that this time it was a chance to see it!"

Mother Jia sighed: "Hey, I'm afraid my grandson is not so lucky. He was burned by a candle a few days ago, and now the blisters on his face have not yet come off!" What a coincidence!"

Then he stood up and said goodbye: "I've been out for half a day, and it's time to go to the empress, so I'm leaving!" Jia Mu hurriedly ordered the young man to send him out of the house, and Mrs. Wang ordered someone to pretend Some snacks, tea, etc., have been sent out of Ningrong Street before giving up.

After dinner, Mother Jia left Mrs. Wang, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a long time in the room.When Mrs. Wang left Jia Mu's courtyard, her expression was normal, but her steps were much lighter.

After listening to the girl's report, Aunt Xue said sarcastically: "I know that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must have nothing to calculate. These days, you should pay close attention to what they are going to do?"

"Yes, ma'am!" the girl replied.

Only then did Aunt Xue wave her hand, signaling that the girls all retreated, and sat alone by the window, lost in thought.Thinking of the ins and outs of Xiao Huangmen's words today, the martial arts competition this time might really be an excuse for the Empress to choose relatives for the royal family, otherwise why did the invitations include the names of all the girls and sons.Wouldn't her own daughter be at a disadvantage?No, no matter what, the old lady will have to drag Baochai into the palace this time. With her daughter's appearance and character, she doesn't believe that the princes will look down on her.

Thinking about it, Aunt Xue hurriedly called her companion, and told her to hire all the famous tailors in Beijing with a lot of money. These few days, she seized the time to make some brightly colored clothes for Baochai, and finally told her to keep it secret. act.

After the escort left, Aunt Xue thought about it again, and for some reason, she thought of Daiyu, and she couldn't help thinking of a plan.Thinking of this, Aunt Xue laughed for a while, and couldn't help admiring her own intelligence.

After laughing for a while, Aunt Xue walked down to Baochai's house slowly, and after gossiping for a long time, she said: "I haven't seen Miss Lin very much these days, you can accompany me to their herb garden tomorrow Bar!"

Baochai was originally bored talking with her mother, but suddenly she was taken aback, looking at her mother, deeply puzzled.
