Chapter 11 New Year 2

Nine raised her head and squeezed her lips tightly. Her pure black eyes reflected Feng's mother's panicked face because of the accident, as if she was lonely and helpless, and seemed to expect Feng's mother to give her a definite answer. The room was very warm, and there was a special quietness, only the kettle on the charcoal stove made a "sizzling" sound.

Mother Feng didn't feel warm and her limbs were stiff, but there was a cold sweat on her back. She wanted to see Sister Jiu's thoughts in her eyes, but there was only a faint sadness in her pure black eyes.

What did Sister Jiu know?

She was thrilled all over.

Feng's mother didn't answer for a long time, and the ninth sister didn't force Feng's mother. Just think she was joking. She bent down and picked up a small shovel from the ground, put it on the stove, and continued to say, "Well, look at what I said, my grandmother is my direct grandmother. How can she not want me!"

Mother Feng smiled and said, "Look at what you said, the old lady naturally loves you. What the old lady left for you is for your dowry. When you get married, the old lady will have to add a few shops for you!"

Sister Jiu's face blushed and showed a trace of shyness under the light of the fire. "Jiu'er is still young, and now she just wants to serve under her grandmother's knees."

Feng's mother looked at the ninth sister's face like a peach blossom. Although she was young and had not yet grown, she already had some eyebrows. The nose and mouth are like the old man, but the eyes are very similar to the old lady. But seeing Sister Jiu bowing her head slightly, Feng's mother suddenly relaxed. Sister Jiu is still young. Without the help of the old lady, the Xue family would have been sad. She is afraid that the people in the hospital should take away those family property.

"How happy the old lady would be to hear your words." Feng's mother's heart is much clearer. Although the ninth sister is small, she is like an old lady and an old lady. She is worthy of her granddaughter. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the ninth sister was pleasing, and said, "There is no intimate person around the old lady these years. The third sister often goes to talk to the old lady, but after all, the third sister is the daughter of the second wife, and she is not considerate. Day and night finally brought you back. When the eldest lady passed away, it was said that you were also seriously ill. The old lady went to the White Horse Temple for a month and asked for your safety in front of the Bodhisattva!"

Sister Jiu'er smiled and looked relaxed. "Jiu'er thinks too much, don't blame Jiu'er. The third sister also asked me to go to Nanyuan more often. The third sister is good.

Sister Jiu seemed to say this inadvertently. Sure enough, Feng's mother's face was not as beautiful as before. She said, "It's too late now. I'll go to bed first. When they come back, you can leave Sister Jinxiu to serve me."

She was unhappy. Although Yao's mother and Huaping just wanted to talk to Feng's mother alone, they were also looking at Yao's mother and Huaping's attitude, but the result made her a little disappointed. Yao's mother was young, but Yao's mother was not ignorant, but she did not insist on staying. Yao's mother may not be in her heart. There is no way to respect her, but to treat her as a distressed child, and there is no awareness in the deep courtyard. After the incident of Zhao Xue, she became more and more aware of how important it was to have several good servants in the house.

"Oh..." She sighed in her heart and closed her eyes helplessly. There must be a good person around her.

She took a fancy to Feng's mother. Although one is an old lady and the other is a second wife, now there are only two around her, and there are still seven years left. The time is too long, and she has to make plans for herself now.

Feng's mother understands what the ninth sister means. The ninth sister should have the intention of helping Jinxiu, otherwise the ninth sister would not have specifically asked her to tell Jinxiu. When she saw the tired face of the ninth sister, she thought that the ninth sister was not in good health and should have planned to stay up. She made the bed and served the ninth sister to sleep. After seeing the ninth sister asleep, she left the house.

As soon as she came out, a cold wind poured into Feng's mother's neck. She couldn't help fighting a cold war. Seeing that there were only a few rough maids and women around, she called over and ordered a few words and left Dongyuan.

Xue's house is brightly lit, but Feng's mother's face is a little gloomy and she goes straight to the main courtyard. In the past two years, the old lady will only live in the main courtyard on New Year's Eve. Feng's mother has served the old lady here for more than ten years, and she is naturally familiar with it. After walking through the three upper rooms from the corridor, I turned a corner and passed the ear chamber. Several maids in the ear room served tea and whispered there.

Originally, the second wife was in charge of the main room, but she didn't want to care about these broken mouths, but she heard the voice of Lin's mother beside the old lady.

"The old lady of the forefather has known about this matter, but how can our Xue family go against the Marquis of Anguo? Didn't you say that the third sister's marriage will have to wait for another year? Why did it change again? Tomorrow is New Year's Day. The son of the Marquis of Anguo will always come to Xue's mansion. At least he is also the husband of the second sister. Does the second wife still want to make trouble in this solar term?

Who said no? But the third sister didn't know that the old lady would make such an arrangement. It was a hard life with the second sister. The third sister treats people kindly, and even our servants are kind, but I hope that the third sister will have a good home.

"I'm not sure. It depends on the words of Mrs. Anguo. I think the second wife wants to wait a few more years, maybe let the ninth sister get married. The second wife just woke up to the old lady, but she didn't see much reaction from the old lady. However, he still said that the third sister was ready to marry the son of the Marquis of Anguo, but the sixth sister's marriage could be considered. He also said that the sixth sister was still young and couldn't be anxious.

Feng's mother did not react behind the door for a while, but the news revealed in these words was really terrible, at least a bolt from the ninth sister. But after thinking about it, the ninth sister had already kissed Prince Yi's house. How could the second wife have so much ability? She opened her mouth and felt cold all over. Some time, when the old lady gave her to the ninth sister, she must have wanted the ninth sister to marry into the Prince Yi's house in the future to help the Xue family, but now the old lady acquiesced to the second wife. Hearing those words, the second wife tried to defer the marriage between Prince Yi's mansion and the ninth sister, and then let the sixth sister marry Prince Yi's son. She was quite disdainful. Did she say that she could retreat? It sounded boring. When Feng's mother was about to leave, another word came from the room, but it was Deng's mother's voice, but Feng's mother did not leave for a moment.

"There is nothing we can do. What the emperor hates most is that officials form parties for personal gain, and the inner palace concubines collud with officials. Our Xue family always has to find a backer. The Marquis of An is the emperor. Hey, but I don't know why. The second master went to visit Prime Minister Zuo and was taken by the patriarch's mansion. The emperor Longyan was furious. Maybe Yu Linjun will come to the house to get people. You go and inform the old lady first so that you can be prepared.

"Isn't there any legend about the noble concubine? The third sister is also her niece, isn't she? Maybe he will give the third sister to the ninth prince. The second master is also for the ninth prince..."

"Shh, keep your voice quiet. We can't say this. Anyway, let the old lady have a bottom line in her heart! We old mothers can also take good care of the maids. Don't provoke the moths in this stall. This year won't let people pass!"

"Isn't it? I don't think the emperor will really take the second master. Speaking of which, the second master is also the emperor's brother-in-law, that is, to warn those adults. But after all, Xue's family lost face. If the eldest master hadn't left Beijing and took office, it would not have been the second master's turn. Seeing that the eldest master was going back to Beijing, such a thing happened, and it was also the second master's filial piety, and the old lady acquiesced in the identity of the second master's family. The old lady also advised the second master not to get too close to Wang Guifei. Now something happened. The second wife actually wants to beat the property left by the old master. I'm afraid the old lady on the ninth sister won't let go..."

Feng's mother took a few steps back in horror and turned pale. It was just a question of whether she could be favored in the future, but now... she dared not think about it and silently returned to Dongyuan. She is now the mother-in-law of the ninth sister, and it is not easy to have too much contact with the old lady, but she didn't expect that the old lady no longer regarded her as her own. She couldn't help laughing. The old lady was still as ruthless as ever. It was really right to send the brocade to the second wife in those years, and she had some resentment against the old lady in her heart.

Along the way, Feng's mother's mood also calmed down a lot. When she arrived in Dongyuan, her mind was also clear. The old lady is not bad for their family. She also believes that as long as she works for the old lady, she will always look back. Although she is working in Dongyuan now, she has also been imprinted with the old lady underneath. Maybe she is too**. She also knows that, but she has been taking care of Sister Jiu recently, so she has not paid attention to it. Things. Lin's mother and Deng's mother have been serving the old lady and second wife, and they are naturally well informed. She secretly scolded herself for being emotional. If she had just met the old lady, maybe...

She opened the door, and the candle was still lit in the room. Sister Jiu said, "Mom is back so soon!"

Mother Feng was shocked, came to her senses in a blink of an eye, and said with a guilty heart, "Haven't you slept yet?"

Sister Jiu sat up from **, was put on her head, wrapped herself in a ball, and looked at Feng's mother's face. "It's noisy outside. As you know, I slept lightly."

Mother Feng is much more relaxed, but she is worried about what Sister Jiu will see, but she still wants to remind Sister Jiu and said with a smile, "Just now, I went to the main room to bring you some cakes back. I'm afraid that you will get up at night and eat some, but I don't want to hear Mother Lin and Mother Deng say something."

Sister Jiu thought for a moment, and Lin's mother couldn't remember. Deng's mother seemed to be a celebrity beside the second wife. She looked at Feng's mother with interest, "Try to hear it, I'm idle now."

"That is, the old lady and the second wife are worried about the third sister's marriage. However, something happened before you came to the house, and I was afraid that something would happen in the courtyard..." Mother Feng told Sister Jiu everything when she heard it. She didn't think that Sister Jiu would not understand the tricks. The eldest wife was favored by the emperor at the age of 12. As the only daughter of the eldest wife, this ninth sister must be good. The true biography of the eldest wife, but the part of the ninth sister's marriage has been covered up.

Sister Jiu was surprised that there was such a thing. I'm afraid that the second wife spent a lot of money on those things. If only she could know Xue's account book!
