Chapter 131 Righteous 1
Xin Zixuan pushed open the window and let the sun shine into the house. Now, when the sun is not over, people's eyes can't open it. Early in the morning, I still felt a little clear and cool. When the sun went up the mountain, the light coolness disappeared.
She came out and accidentally hit the corner of the table. There was a tingling pain. She covered her stomach and frowned. Suddenly, she stepped back nervously and poked her head out. There was only one little maid sweeping the floor in the yard. She was relieved, touched her belly, and raised a wry smile at the corners of her mouth. Then he walked out of the room slowly and saw Hongling standing at the corner and chatting happily with someone. Suddenly, he turned his head and saw Xin Zixuan standing at the door. He immediately resigned from the other party and hurried over to salute Xin Zixuan.
Xin Zixuan waved her hand and asked carelessly, "Who are you talking to and talking so vigorously?"
Hongling lowered her head and explained, "It's the mother of Biwuxuan guarding the garden. She is Fang'er's mother. She came to send something to Fang'er and chatted with me." Hongling quietly looked at Xin Zixuan's face and saw that she was not angry. Then she continued to say, "I didn't talk about anything. I asked her why she had time to come here. I heard that Bi Wuxuan is going to have a wedding recently, and the manpower should be very tight."
Hongling said, carefully holding Xin Zixuan to the table and sitting down, and poured her another cup of tea. Xin Zixuan motioned her to continue. She said that Pu'an sent two stewid mother to replace her at this time, so she took time to come over.
"The Ling family is really heartfelt." Compared with the Liu family and the Pang family, Ling's mother's family is undoubtedly the most worry-free and considerate.
"Yes, I heard that two cars of gifts were specially sent to add makeup." When Hongling said, her tone was full of strong envy. I heard that every dowry maid would have a big red envelope at that time, which was the decent mother's family. Xin Zixuan was also slightly surprised. She knew that her sister-in-law put on makeup for her aunt. Her uncle put on makeup on her niece, but this was extremely important etiquette. If it weren't for the old tradition of the ancestors, it would be a prominent big family that would do such a thing. By the way, I just said that the Fifth Lady has not been in good spirits recently.
Xin Zixuan originally wanted to stop Hongling's words, but when she heard Shaohua, she immediately became nervous: "Are you sick? Have you invited a doctor?"
In sum, she hasn't seen Shaohua for days. Since Shaohua came out of the palace, she wanted to find time to talk to her. Unfortunately, Xiyuan had some housework disputes, and she didn't go there to avoid suspicion. Later, I also had trouble, so I kept procrastinating. Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard that Shaohua was uncomfortable.
Hongling shook her head, suddenly smiled and said, "It's not sick. I heard that she asked the second lady to make a red skirt for her, but the second lady refused. She asked people to pull the cloth outside and said that she wanted to do it herself, but she couldn't even embroider a handkerchief, so she didn't mention making clothes. As a result, she was also known by the second lady and confiscated all the cloth. She was angry.
The impression of Hongling's Shaohua was familiar when she came back from the Three Kings Mansion. Just because she is the best for her young lady among all the wives, Hongling also has a very good impression on her, and Shaohua speaks funnyly and does not scold her servants, which makes her very moved.
"It's good. It's not about pulling red cloth, and it's not about making wedding clothes." Xin Zixuan put her nervous heart back to her stomach and frowned slightly. Thinking of Shaohua's nature, she couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.
Hongling also replied with a smile, "That's right, that's what the second lady said, but the fifth lady somehow struggled and insisted on making a skirt."
"You can look for it in the warehouse later. I remember that I still have a few red cloths. If you find them, send them to her." Xin Zixuan thought for a moment and ordered.
Hongling was stunned and asked confusedly, "Young lady, the fifth lady can't make clothes. What's the use of sending it to her?" She remembered that Shaohua once came to show off to her with her new purse. As a result, she praised the two swimming fish very vividly, which annoyed her for a long time. Later, she learned that except for the swimming fish, everything else was Shaohua's masterpiece. After knowing it, she hurried to apologize to Shaohua, but she didn't think so and asked her not to worry.
"She won't, then the maids around her will." Xin Zixuan glanced at her.
Hongling was a little embarrassed and hesitated: "I heard that even the maids don't know what the skirt the five ladies want to make, so they can only make it by themselves." If Shaohua's character is twisted, ten cows will not be pulled back.
"You don't even know the maids?" Xin Zixuan was confused. After thinking about it, she decided to visit Shaohua. "You go with me and have a look. I'd like to see what she is doing."
Seeing Xin Zixuan suddenly stand up, Hongling stretched out her hand nervously to protect her, "Yes, young lady, but your body..." Her eyes moved to her stomach and quietly looked at Xin Zixuan's smiling face.
"It doesn't matter. Let people look at Aunt Qing well and don't let others get close." Xin Zixuan squeezed her lips and asked Hongling to go down to find the red cloth.
"Yes." Hongling didn't dare to say much and immediately took the order to leave.
After she left, Xin Zixuan's face suddenly sank and looked depressed. Suddenly, he seemed to have made a great decision. He walked to the desk, pulled out a few pieces of writing paper, and wrote by himself.
If Shaohua knew that Xin Zixuan was coming to visit her, he would immediately jump up and dress up, and then run to the door of Biwuxuan to wait for him. But she didn't know, so at this moment she was sitting on the window with an angry face, one foot bending up and stepping on the window, and one foot hanging in mid-air, looking very arrogant and ruffian. Chuhe and Youhan stood not far away from her and watched her swinging their feet leisurely. At the same time, they were worried that she could not sit down and fall down. At the same time, they were worried that they would be seen by people outside and ran to Ling to complain.
"Five ladies, don't be angry. Madam didn't mean to quarrel with you. It's just that now is a good day for the third lady, and there is really no one at home. Chu He persuaded him in a good voice.
"I don't want someone from the sewing room to help me. Can't I do it myself?" Shaohua didn't know how many times he was rejected. He was depressed and had nowhere to vent his angry. Ling even let people watch her. Before Wanhua went out, she was not allowed to go out, meet guests, or make other things.
Youhan didn't think about it and burst out, "Can you make clothes?"
When she dared to say, she immediately subconsciously covered her mouth, blinked innocently, and responded to Shaohua's unhappy eyes.
"It's not embroidery, just cut it casually, and then sew it up with needle and thread, isn't it?" Although he was stabbed to the pain by Youhan, Shaohua still defended a few words.
Chu He explained sly: "But you have cut several pieces of cloth. Although I haven't made clothes, I also know that it's not easy to make clothes. I have to measure the size of the waist, how long the waist, how many folds, how big each fold is, and how to hide the line. Chuhe didn't know how to observe words and colors as young Han. He was stunned and solemnly broke his fingers to count the secrets of cutting clothes. He didn't notice Shaohua's increasingly ugly face.
Youhan hurriedly pulled Chu He's sleeve and saw that she didn't notice at all, and immediately interrupted her. Fifth Lady, Chu He means that it is not easy to make clothes. You see, you have pricked your fingers several times, and we are distressed. Why don't we wait? The good thing of the three ladies is to finish it within this month. We will ask the master to go home to do it for you at the beginning of next month. At that time, you can do whatever you want.
Looking at Chu He's confused and innocent expression and the flattering face of the young man, Shaohua rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Do you really think you are coaxing a three-year-old child? A Niang clearly means not to let me make red clothes. Really, how can there be so many rules? Who said that an unregulated wife can't wear red clothes? I used to wear so many red skirts, but no one said no.
In fact, at the beginning, she told Ling Shi to make a dress. Ling Shi only thought that she was looking at Wan Hua making a wedding dress and was envious, so she said a few comforting words to send her. However, after Shaohua mentioned it several times, she asked curiously, but when she heard that she wanted to pull the red cloth, she refused without saying a word.
Shaohua was angry. Seeing that Ling didn't plan to explain, he secretly asked Youhan to go out and buy it for her, wanting to secretly cut cloth and make clothes. Unexpectedly, it was far more difficult to make clothes than she thought. She cut several pieces of cloth in a row and cut them into incomplete cloth, so she had to let the young man go out again, but this time she was caught by Ling. Just now, the three of their masters and servants were dragged to Xiyuan for training. Shaohua ran back angrily and had nowhere to vent his anger.
"It's red." Chu He corrected Shaohua's language disease very seriously and was immediately pinched by the young man.
Youhan said vaguely, "Maybe Pu'an's rules are not the same as those of the capital."
Looking at the two maids muttering in front of them, Shaohua finally said helplessly, "That's all. A Niang is satisfied with the third sister in her eyes. She probably won't expect me to be like the third sister." Thinking that Wanhua looks more and more like an adult, she became more strange after hiding in the room and talking with Ling for a few days.
Shaohua jumped down from the window and was so scared that Chuhe ran over to help her. Unwaiting for them to reach out their hands, she had landed on the ground with her feet and turned into the house like the wind.
Youhan first reacted and pulled Chu He to follow. Seeing that Shaohua's skills were getting lighter and lighter, their hearts also jumped up and down with her figure.
"Is there any news from your second sister-in-law?" Shaohua suddenly asked.
"I probably can't come. She can't leave now." Chu He shook his head.
"What's going on?" Shaohua was stunned and looked at the young man in a daze.
"The aunt of the garden has come to the door again." Chu He answered honestly.
Shaohua suddenly narrowed his eyes and said unhappily, "What is she doing here? It's not like looking for trouble, is it?"
Chu He shook his head and said naively, "I don't know about this, and I haven't heard of any woman coming here. Maybe she just came as a guest."
Youhan Chongchu rolled her eyes, and she was more aware of this kind of gossip. Seeing that Shaohua immediately came close to her head with interest, she said vividly, "That's your ignorance. I heard that after the daughter-in-law returned to the door, the aunt came to visit. After praising the second young lady first, she began to talk to the second young lady about the daughter-in-law, and said that the second young master is the heir and the incense of the third room. It must not be stopped. He also said that the second young lady should be more generous and put the overall situation first. The second young lady is the new daughter-in-law and comes from the Hou family, so she didn't turn against her. If she were someone else, she would have quarreled with her for a long time. How could anyone say such a thing as the new daughter-in-law just passed the door.
"My second sister-in-law didn't tell me about this." Shaohua was shocked after hearing this.
"Five ladies, how could the second young lady mention it to you? Not to mention that she had just passed the door and established a good image with her husband's family, I just told you, what can you do as a woman who hasn't gone out? Youhan shrugged his shoulders. Seeing that Shaohua seemed to be about to leave, he immediately persuaded, "Five Lady, don't worry too much. After all, this is a matter of Taoyuan. If the second lady knows, she will definitely have to count you again."
