Chapter 152 The Return of Aunt, an old grudge
The four-year celebration of Yuanqing is indeed unprecedentedly busy for the Duke of Wei. The marriage of large families pays attention to the order of the ages. If there is no special reason, before the wedding of Yichen and King Fu in June, Su Xing, as a brother, should have married before the ceremony. In addition, the storm of Xiapu Garden in the old year, the eldest princess is also aware of When it came to the Zhen family, she still gave up - although Zhen Mo said that she was dissatisfied with Dong Yin's "indifference" and was not angry for a moment before she became malicious. This excuse could only fool people. The eldest princess was quite aware that the matter was not as simple as the surface. Zhen Mo did not mention it, and the crown princess and Mrs. Zhen were not as innocent as everyone understood, if there was no princess's release. Even if you support it, Zhen Mo doesn't dare to act alone.
Therefore, although the time is very tight, the Duke of Wei and the Dong government are in favor of marriage as soon as possible.
And Su Lian, who is one generation higher than Su Xun and Yichen, and the marriage should naturally be preceded by the two.
Su Lian's wedding date is set for March.
This three consecutive happy events naturally made people busy. Compared with it, the second wife's pregnant aunt is not a big deal.
Especially the Huang family, who is in charge of Zhongfu, is of course more busy than everyone else. Fortunately, the third lady Xu has returned to Kyoto and can also help from the side. At first, because of this, the Li family was very unconvinced - they are all direct wives. Why can't she alone intervene in housework? But when it came to the matter of Aunt Mei, Li was naturally not in the mood to pay attention to these again.
At a busy moment, Jianning Houfu sent people again - originally at the beginning of the year, the transfer order of Aunt Long of Houfu had been issued. After handover and rushing, the Long family finally arrived in Jinyangjing three days ago. On this day, Mrs. Long Juanniang returned to her mother's house to visit her relatives, and the old lady asked people to invite several sisters to come to the house.
As Juanniang's sister, the two sisters have not seen each other for many years. Even if the housework is heavy, they can't miss such a long reunion, although Mrs. Houfu did not "invite" her.
Yichen is not familiar with this direct aunt. It is really because when Juan Niang left Jinyang, she will be six years old, not to mention the sixth mother below, and she has no impression of her aunt. Only the scenery does not feel strange because of the memory of the previous life.
After ten years apart, Mrs. Hou was naturally worried about her daughter. As soon as the mother and daughter met, they couldn't help crying. Everyone urged and persuaded slowly, but not only did it not work, but also made Mrs. Hou's wives cry. A circle of maids and women on the ground were all red until Huang's party came.
Just after following Huang and entering the room, she felt the sadness in it. Looking up, she saw a woman in a round bun, holding a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes. The corners of her lips were just piled up with a smile. Although it was a little hasty, her eagerness did not diminish.
"Chen Erjing, come here quickly and let your aunt have a good look." The old lady was still choked, and the corners of her eyes were even more red, and she waved straight to the sisters Yichen.
The old lady subconsciously neglected Liu Niang again.
Today, the two concubines of Sanniang and Ba Niang did not come. Liu Niang looked a little lonely when they were so cold. Mrs. Hou had no choice but to come forward and quarrel with Huang, and let her daughters talk to Liu Niang.
Yingjing looked at her aunt and saw that she was a little more haggard than I thought. Even the bright red brocade on her body could not decorate the dark color of her cheeks, two green marks under her eyelids, and even silver wire mixed with silver wire between her temples.
"There are some things that are over and it's useless to mention them again." Juan Niang sighed gently and looked gloomy: "Only you remember your aunt's words. You can't trust others too much. Some things are not as good as they seem, and you have to have your own ideas. As the saying goes, you can't be defensive, and you won't suffer losses if you are cautious."
I Jing is deeply convinced that she doesn't want to say more when she sees her aunt, and it's hard to ask.
While gossiping, Jiang Yue was unwilling to find it again and stuck it in Juan's arms: "When my aunt saw A Chen and A Jing, I forgot about it. I just talked to them. I'm not convinced."
By this fork, it was even more difficult for Ying to ask. She only asked Jiang Yue, "Why don't you see the fifth sister today?"
"Don't mention it, because of that monk's nonsense, in order to be safe, the fifth sister didn't even dare to leave the yard. Earlier, my aunt went to see her and persuaded her to come and disperse, but she didn't want to." Jiang Yue sighed, "It's a good marriage. Because of this, people are panicked."
Since Juanniang heard about this, she also felt that something was wrong, but she thought it was not too much for Huang Wuniang to be cautious. At this time, she suggested, "Wuniang also felt bored. It happened that your sisters came, so go and talk to her." So he led a few girl out of the room.
Huang said again. Seeing Juanniang and the beautiful sisters talking in private, she was a little panicked. At this time, when she saw that there was no change in the relationship between the two goddesses, she sighed gently. She also saw Juanniang taking several juniors to see Huang Wuniang and quickly followed her. Along the way, she ignored Juanniang's cold face and only pretended to be hot. It's cold and noisy with her.
Huan Niang is very impatient, but it's hard to say it directly in front of the younger generation. It was not until outside the courtyard where Huang Wuniang lived that she let a few little women go in and turned to Huang and said, "Second sister, don't go in. That cloud water monk appeared strangely. Maybe someone is malicious..."
Seeing that the little women were not present, Huang smiled at the corners of her lips. Despite this, her expression was still gentle: "I know that the third sister was still for the past... At the beginning, the third sister and I had nothing to talk about, and I know your feelings for the Duke... Third sister, I really didn't expect things to be like this. If you want to talk about her mother Originally, it was also for your plan..."
"If you don't talk secretly, you know what the second sister did in those years." Juan Niang sneered, "It's useless to say more. I only regret that I didn't defend myself from you and told you all my mind, so that I gave you a good opportunity."
Huang was very distressed: "My sister really misunderstood me."
"Misunderstanding?" Juan Niang sneered: "Listen to me that my mother doesn't want me to be a successor, so I have an idea in my heart. Let me ask you, why did the Long family come to propose marriage at that juncture? How did the poems I wrote get into the hands of Ruo Xu? Who told him that I had admired him for a long time? Second sister, don't say that you don't know anything about it. It's all what the second brother did.
Huang was stunned on the spot.
"If I hadn't happened to see the letter, asked it in surprise, and was still kept in the dark by your brothers and sisters, it was no coincidence that the Long family proposed marriage at that time. Second sister, you should be sincere and deep. You have been playing in front of me for so many years!"
In the face of Juan Niang's fierce questioning, Huang finally couldn't insist on the "misunderstanding" and stammered to explain: "I was also desperate at that time. Third sister, although you have a good impression on the prince, and because of the children left by the eldest sister, you are going to marry to the state government, but As you know, mother will definitely not agree. You are the legitimate daughter. My mother will not let you be wronged, but I was helpless. At that time, I was moved and afraid of procrastination. The Duke changed its original intention and had other choices. If you miss this marriage, you know that my mother intended to marry me to the Yao family at that time. Although that man is also widowed, he is old and has a rough temperament... I really don't want to... Long Jialangjun has a good impression on you. He is also from a hopeful family, outstanding talent, and will not humiliate you. I admit that I have used some means, and I have no choice but to force you, let alone harm you.
"Didn't you hurt me?" Juan Niang sneered: "In this way, should I thank you? How much have you imitated my handwriting, copied my poems and Ruoxu 'to show your heart'? Do you know that the eldest daughter-in-law of the old lady of the Long family was her niece at that time? Because if you mistakenly think that I have feelings for him, don't you hesitate to disobey your mother? I didn't know why my mother-in-law was so picky about me until I saw that love letter! In the eyes of my mother-in-law, I am a villain who does not keep the way of women, teaches each other privately, and provokes their mother-child relationship. I have asked my second sister for all the hardships over the years.
Huang's mouth is tongue-dropping: "I don't know..."
"The second sister's hypothetical feelings should be restrained. After ten years, the dust has settled, and I am not willing to pursue these old things." Juan Niang's eyebrows were solemn: "I heard Chen'er and Jing'er say that you treat them well, and I don't want to sow discord. Just remember one sentence and treat the eldest sister's flesh and blood well. If there is anything wrong with their three brothers and sisters in the future, I will not let you go."
After saying that, Juanniang ignored Huang and turned around coldly.
After turning the corridor and partition wall, the second lady Jiang just came out and said fiercely at Juanniang's back: "It deserves to please her. If she had gritted her teeth and marry the Duke's mansion, her mother-in-law may not have compromised. It was not that she was moved by looking at Aunt Long's talent. Don't worry about it, sister. Come with me. The second master has been waiting for you for a long time.
Huang smiled slightly, and the shame and surprise at the corners of his eyebrows were restrained. He only looked at Jiang: "My sister-in-law just heard it. Since the third sister is suspicious, I'm afraid that the eldest brother may not be unprepared."
"Girls are relieved. Since the rumors are everywhere, our house is not one step closer to the fifth mother. Even if they are suspicious, they will not rely on us at that time." Jiang smiled gloomyly and took Huang and left.
