Chapter 69 Zhuang Xiuniang
For the matter of Suifeng Tower, Ling looked a little impatient. As soon as Li Xunzhuo left, he drove both sisters back to Biwuxuan.
Shaohua is a little confused, but it's just a restaurant. Even if it is sealed up, after the storm passes, people can resume opening after the storm. It's just Li Xunzhuo's appearance, as if there is anything lacking in this restaurant. Asked about Wanhua, Wanhua also shook his head and said that he didn't know it. He hurriedly ran halfway, saying that the book had come back and was in the second gate.
Last year, I thought that Wanhua would be decided at the end of the year, so I hurriedly promised the book, but now Wanhua is still in the boudoir, and it is inconvenient to enter the backyard if the book is already matched. I heard from Cui's mother that there was good news for the New Year. It had been two full months. It was not easy for three months before my mother-in-law let people go out. Ling also knew about this, so he let Shuyu be easy to raise and let go. As long as the Shuyu man was willing, he could still be Wanhua's companion at that time.
When Cui's mother got something, she immediately told her daughter, so she hurried in to thank Ling.
Although Cui's mother took care of a lot, Shaohua and Shuyu did not intersect, and I heard that she was pregnant and didn't want to join the fun. After resigning from Wanhua and taking Xiaohan back to Biwuxuan, he didn't expect to bump into Li Sinian.
"Five Niang!" Li Sinian called and saw Shaohua turn around and walked up quickly.
"Second brother, why did you come back so early today?" Shaohua thought of Li Xunzhuo's words just now and looked at him in a complicated mood. He didn't want to catch a glimpse of two little maids not far behind him, one of whom was obviously dressed as a wife. Like her, he poked out his head curiously and looked at each other. A water-red skirt is covered with a plum-green coat with dark blue water lines, and a pair of embroidered shoes that don't match the clothes are exposed at the bottom of the skirt. He found that Shaohua's eyes moved to the ground and hurriedly hid behind Li Sinian, which made him a little embarrassed.
Shaohua is extremely puzzled. Who is this little woman? Her clothes are good, but the colors and styles are slightly old-fashioned and do not match her appearance. In contrast, embroidered shoes with red lotus patterns look poor. On the contrary, the maids around her are not top-notch, but they are always straight and have a femininity.
"I'll be back if I have something to do." Li Sinian's tone was a little unnatural, and his eyes were also erratic. Shaohua was puzzled. He took a step back, looked at the little lady behind him, and hesitated: "This is my aunt's wife. I'm staying at home these days. I just went to say good to Taiheyuan and Xuyuan. Are you there?
"My mother...she has something to do." Shaohua told a little lie.
At this time, Li Sinian went to find Ling Shi, and he was simply looking for hardships. Seeing that Li Sinian was good to her in the past and occasionally brought some small mouths or something, Shaohua still didn't want Li Sinian to touch the ashes at this time.
"Then, please help me take Xiu Niang back. I suddenly remembered that there was something urgent and I had to rush back to the government." Li Sinian kept his eyes on Shaohua.
Ah? Second brother, brother..." Shaohua was stunned and didn't make a sound. Li Sinian turned around and said to Zhuang Xiuniang, and then couldn't wait to leave. Zhuang Xiuniang turned around and chased a step, looked at Li Sinian's back, who almost fled, and stamped her feet reluctantly.
Which one is this? Is this the second Liu Yansui?
The maid secretly pulled Zhuang Xiuniang's sleeve and saw that she immediately recovered. Her expression was free and smiled at Shaohua. Is this the fifth sister?
Shaohua looked at her up and down, whether in terms of clothes or appearance, he couldn't be younger than her. So she nodded and said decisively before she was ready to close the relationship, "This sister is really sorry. I have to go back to do my homework. Why don't I let my maid take you back to the garden?"
The little maid who followed Zhuang Xiuniang seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Shaohua's suggestion. "Just now, the second young master asked the fifth lady to take my wife back. How can the fifth lady send a subordinate to show us the way? This is too contemptuous."
Shaohua was about to turn around and frowned when he heard the little maid's words.
Shaohua couldn't speak, and Youhan immediately retorted back, "If this lady thinks that one of my servants is not qualified to show you the way, please go back. I have to accompany my wife back to do my homework." Although she and Chu He usually abide by their duty and dare not go beyond any more, Shaohua is not bad to them, does not scold them and make things difficult, and they are close to them if there is delicious food and useful. Inexplicably, he was scolded by a little maid he didn't know, but he was still in his own house, and the young man couldn't help but be annoyed.
When the little maid heard what Youhan said, her face immediately became awkward, angry and unwilling. Zhuang Xiuniang looked at Shaohua and looked on coldly. She didn't intend to relieve the siege at all. She quickly said, "This sister, Xiaohong is ignorant. Don't blame her." Seeing that Shaohua did not blame himself, and Xiaohan was too lazy to talk to Zhuang Xiuniang, Zhuang Xiuniang had no choice but to apologize to Shaohua: "Fifth sister, Xiaohong really doesn't mean that."
After all, the visitor was a guest, and he was also Pang's niece. Shaohua had a good impression of Pang, but he didn't expect the maid to manage the church so presumptuously.
I didn't want to embarrass Ponzi and Li Sinian, so I said quietly, "Why don't you wait here for a while? I'll call someone to call the people from the garden to pick you up."
"No, no, no, no, no." Zhuang Xiuniang hurriedly waved her hand, but thought that if no one led the way, they didn't know how to get to the garden, and she was embarrassed. "Can I go to the fifth sister's place to sit down? I won't bother you to do your homework, just go and have a look. Second aunt, let me walk around more with my sister and sister at home. Zhuang Xiuniang spoke more and more quietly, as if she had all her words in her mouth.
Shaohua didn't know what medicine was sold in their gourd. He was said presumptuously by her maid for no reason, and now he is still asked to go to her yard. Although he instinctively wanted to refuse, he didn't plan to accompany them back, and he was afraid that he would quarrel with Xiaohong again all the way. At that time, it would be not good for the two rooms to quarrel.
"Why don't you go back with me? I'll find someone else to accompany you back. I still have to make Youhan do something." As soon as Shaohua's words came out, Zhuang Xiuniang immediately raised her eyebrows and thanked repeatedly. On the contrary, Xiaohong looked unhappy.
As soon as they entered the courtyard of Shaohua, the eyes of Zhuang Xiu's master and servant were about to fall out. Zhuang Xiuniang looked at a set of pictures of the four gentlemen in the flowers hanging on the wall, with an envious look on her face, while Xiaohong was interested in the bronze tire silk painting enamel winding branches passionflower eight-treasure flat bottle on the shelf beside her. Youhan was a little disgusted, deliberately coughed, and said to Chu He, "Chus He, come here for a moment. The fifth lady asked you to take this woman back to the garden."
Chu He came in with a cup of wolfberry and red dates. When he saw Zhuang Xiuniang and others, he was stunned for a moment, "Five Lady, who are these two?"
"This is the wife of the second brother and aunt. What kind of work do you have now? If not, take them back to the garden. I'm going to see Mr. Youhan." Shaohua's words made it clear that he didn't intend to let Zhuang Xiuniang stay for a long time.
"It's okay. It's not too much for me to let go of my work." Chu He listened to Shaohua's cold tone and immediately answered.
Zhuang Xiuniang can't hear her voice-in. After all, it was her maid who just did something wrong, and it is not difficult to understand what annoyed Shaohua. He had to bless Shaohua, then grabbed Xiaohong, who was still reluctant to leave, and left with Chuhe.
"What a shallow eyelid!" The young Han complained in a low voice to their backs.
Shaohua scolded the young man with his eyes, and then sighed. If Zhuang Xiuniang is jealous of the things in her room, then go to Wanhua's house or Jinhua's side, I'm afraid her eyes will really fall off. If it hadn't been for the Spring Festival, Ling would have asked her to dress up the house more festively, and she wouldn't have wanted to put something valuable and easy to break at all. Li Xunzhuo thought she was reluctant, so he brought her a small screen made of ivory silk from northern Sichuan, which made Jinhua's eyes red. In order to live up to Li Xunzhuo's preference for her, Shaohua had to let Youhan decorate the house magnificently.
"Do you recognize this woman?" Shaohua asked.
Youhan shook his head, "The third lady seldom walks with outsiders, and even her mother's family has very little contact. However, when the second young master took the exam, he seemed to have been here several times, but when he heard that the second young master returned to Luyang's hometown, they disappeared again. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but begrily for Pang and the others, "They came because the second young master returned to Beijing!"
"What does the third aunt's family do?" Shaohua picked up the wolfberry and red date water and suddenly stopped for a moment.
"The third lady's family is also a three-generation divination. She has never been a scholar, and there are only two direct wives left in the third lady's generation. Lang Jun, who came out of the concubine, failed to pass the exam, so he fell out of his family and said that he had left Beijing. Youhan is a piece of inquiry. The relationship between the whole Li family is not as unclear as she is, which also saves Shaohua from remembering too much by herself.
"So, this is still my niece." Compared with the daughters of compatriots and sisters, Zhuang Xiuniang's relationship with Pang is more intimate than that between Yan Sui and Liu.
Youhan thought for a moment and said, "But I remember that the eldest wife of the Pang family gave birth to four wives and a Langjun. Langjun is one year younger than the second young master. The four wives were married early. Will they be born later?" Youhan said to himself, but looking at the attitude of the maid Xiaohong, it is obvious that she doesn't usually serve Zhuang Xiuniang, and there are no rules at all.
"Then what kind of family is Aunt Pang?" Shaohua held the white porcelain plum blossom cup in both hands and squeezed the warm tea with a light jujube fragrance and sweet wolfberry flavor, which warmed his heart in one bite. I seem to see that the maid is more powerful than the beautiful woman. If this is the object that Pang Shi found for Li Sinian, she should not have lived in Li's house like this. Moreover, Li Sinian looked like receiving hot potatoes.
"I don't know about this. Why don't I ask?" The young man looked at Shaohua.
Shaohua nodded, "By the way, how is the book?"
"Yes."
