Concubine Raiders

Luo's house was custom-made, and the key of each house was set at the beginning of Xu Dynasty.

At the end of the fall, he returned to Zhiyun courtyard.

The little servant girls rushed forward to pick up the umbrella, squatted down to take off her wooden shoes, and welcomed her into the room.

Another servant girl handed over the stove.

She shook her head and said, "bring me some water to clean my face, and I'm going to talk to the eldest lady."

The little maids didn't dare to neglect. They took clean clothes and skirts and asked her to change them. They made hot water to clean her face. They combed their hair again. They looked at the cleaning up. They picked up the hot stove and warmed it for a moment. Then they went to the big lady's house.

Three aunt Niang is taking a few servant girls to do needlework around the brazier in the main room. When she sees Luo Qiao, she says with a smile, "is that scattered? Why did you come back so early? "

Luo Qiao said with a smile: "it's not scattered yet. The corals are drinking happily He said, looking at the work in the hands of the third aunt, "the carp is so fresh. Is it for Miss Wu? "

Aunt Ke's eyes showed a trace of tenderness: "I have nothing to do. I'll make her a full skirt. It's spring next year. It's time to wear it. "

Luo Qiao and aunt Ke said a few words and got up and went upstairs to the big lady's bedroom Go and say hello to the eldest lady

"The eldest lady is talking to mother Xu!" Aunt Ke did not lift her head to embroider the carp in her hand, "say something will wait for a while."

No one is seen!

Luo Qiao laughed at herself, but the smile on her face was very bright: "there must be a maid waiting beside me. I'll show my face. If the big lady asks, I won't think that I went there and I don't know the day and night!"

Aunt Ke looked up with a smile and said, "yes." He lowered his head to do his work again.

Luo Qiao went up the stairs with light hands and feet.

It was quiet upstairs. Only a servant girl was sitting by the stairs with a stove in her hand. The dim yellow light from the curtain of the East bedroom was drawn long and reflected on the dark brown wood floor, with a lonely silence.

Hearing the light footstep sound, the little servant girl suddenly raised her head, saw the falling wing, she laughed.

Luo Qiao didn't wait for her to open her mouth and ordered: "you go to report it! The eldest lady is waiting for my reply

The little servant girl hesitated for a moment, let sink the footstep and walked to the front of the curtain.

"Let her in!" The elder lady's voice was filled with weariness.

Fall Qiao pulled the corner of the clothes, this just walked in.

The maids and maids who usually served in the room were all gone. Only an octagonal palace lamp was lit on the stuffy cupboard on the veranda of the eight steps bed. The bean sized light illuminated the embroidered shoes of the red five bats holding longevity on the feet of the bed. The red lacquer high cabinets placed around now became the shadow of black paint, and rushed to the light, which was like a predatory beast.

"Come back!" The eldest lady was on the pillow at the head of the bed. Her white face was half hidden and half visible beside Da Hongluo's tent. It seemed very vague, "mother Xu, give her a seat."

Sitting beside the bed, mother Xu laughed and put a small machine on the head of the bed.

Down Warped knee salute to the big wife, empty sitting on the small machine.

"What's going on there?"

The old lady sat up straight with her sharp eyes shining in the dark.

After a pause, Luo Qiao said: "when I went, I saw Wu Xiao's family..." She glanced at the old lady, trying to see what her expression was. She didn't know whether the light was too dim or whether she didn't show anything different. She lost everything. "And coral, emerald, hawksbill, azalea and Dewey in our house. The rain trees, rain locust trees, white beads and gold beads in Miss 12's room. The holly in Miss 11's room sat at a table with amber and coral of Wu Xiao's family, while binju, Qiuju and Zhu Xiang served. A total of four dishes, four cold, four hot, ten dishes, a soup. I came back before the seats were over. Don't know what the staple food is? "

"There's nothing going on in Wu Niang's and Shi Niang's rooms?" The first lady's voice is a little cold.

Luo Qiao said in a hurry: "it is said that the fifth Miss sent Lagerstroemia indica in the room and sent two packets of Xinyang Maojian as a gift; ten miss's room is a hundred branches, and sent a purse and a sweat towel."

The eldest lady was silent for a long time, and said, "you go back!"

He got up and went out with his head down and hands down.

"What do you think?" she asked her mother

"My wife is like a mirror in her heart." Xu's mother had a gentle smile, "where do you need a maid to interrupt?"

The old lady sighed and patted her mother's hand: "in the end, we only left our master and servant."

Xu's mother was moved, and her eyes twinkled: "my wife said she was discouraged. You have a great family and a lot of children and grandchildren. You can't find anyone more fortunate than you. "

The old lady sighed and fell down, leaning on the pillow: "I don't know it's too much to use?"

Xu's mother got up, leaned over the old lady's back, pulled out the pillow she was leaning against, and slowly let her lie down.

"There's no one in the world who can't use it. It depends on how you use it! " Her voice was gentle, gentle, and calm. "Miss is the most intelligent person I have ever seen in the world. She must have thought of what you think; she must have thought of what you did not think of. You are the one who gave birth to her and raised her. I watched her grow up. At this time, we don't help her. Who can help her? Even if you don't believe in your own eyes, you should also believe in the eyes of the eldest lady. What's more, in recent years in Beijing, the eldest lady has come and gone with such a group of rich and noble people with different eyes. You, just put your heart back where you are and live a comfortable life While speaking, he has been tucked into the corner."Dongqing, sleep with me today." "We haven't talked like this for a long time," she said with a smile

Xu's mother laughed: "I haven't slept at the foot of the old lady's bed for many years, and I still have a strange idea." Say, go out to call small servant girl roll bedding to come in.

******

at this time, the warm Pavilion is busy. Dongqing looks at binju and goes back to Lvjun building quietly.

“…… The eldest lady received a letter from the eldest master after a nap. Without a cup of tea, the third grandmother of Xifu came to discuss the first lady's sacrifice to the field. It was Du Wei who went in and reported it. " Dongqing and Shiniang were sitting around the fire basin. "The north wind was blowing that day. I don't know who opened the window lattice behind the stairwell. When she came in, the curtain hit the doorframe and clanged violently. At that time, the eldest lady smashed a cup of tea and almost hit Du Wei's head. "

The Luo family had been divided once by the old man. The old man divided the east courtyard of the original Luo house, and a cousin of the old lord divided the West courtyard of the Luo house. Everyone yelled at Dongfu and Xifu.

Eleven Niang pulled out the red silver frost charcoal in the brazier with tongs.

In other words, after receiving a letter from the master, the old lady became angry at the little servant girl who lifted the curtain.

"I received a letter from my uncle and I was having dinner." Holly sorted out the news she had heard, "because the eldest lady lost her temper in the afternoon, and everyone was trembling. At that time, feicui was waiting by. After receiving the letter, the eldest lady held the letter and said nothing. He got up and walked around the room for a few times, and then he sent for his mother Xu. They spent most of the night alone in the room

Eleven Niang was shocked.

Is the big lady the kind of person who is more calm and calm when meeting big events? Or did you guess wrong? No, even if they guess wrong, the big aunt and the second aunt also guess wrong? Is it wrong for Wu Xiao's family?

Thinking of this, she could not help but get up and pace the room.

This banquet was originally a touchstone. Five Niang, ten Niang and twelve Niang had the same attitude as usual. What is unusual is that Wu Xiao's family and Luo Qiao are both too enthusiastic, but both of them are the people who can best understand the feelings of the eldest wife. Wu Xiao's family, in particular, walked in the inner courtyard and made friends with each other. Luo's husband is in charge of all external affairs. What's the matter? Her news should be the best

Eleven Niang can't help but stop.

"What about mother Wu? Did mother Wu do anything special? Or did you say something strange? "

Dongqing was slightly stunned. She lowered her head and pondered for a long time. She hesitated and said, "mother Wu has been listening to us all the time..." Speaking of this, she suddenly shocked, "by the way, half of the wine, mother Wu asked me to accompany her to clean the room. She pursed her mouth and said a very strange thing to me

Eleven Niang can't help but go and sit beside holly.

"What did you say?"

Seeing that eleven Niang looked nervous, she paid so much attention to what Wu Xiao's family said. Dongqing thought for a while and repeated what Wu Xiao's family had said: "she said: I'm still happy here. Back home, often alone, lonely. I'm busy tearing down the west wall every day. I don't have a hole in the west wall. If you please this one, you offend that one. Please that one, and offend this one. Inside and outside are not people. This is not, this early morning was left to the eldest wife. I've been so sad since I came back. It's not like Lu Yonggui who went to Yanjing with the eldest lady. After several years' absence, he bought a house in Yanjing and lived a life of Beijing people. This is the prime minister's gatekeeper of seven grade officials! I, too lazy to look at his face, take this opportunity to go outside to have fun. So that he doesn't think I'll have a place to play if I stay in the house. "

Tear down the east wall to pay Paul It's not good to be a man at both ends I was sent by Luo Qiao to see my wife When I came back, I was sad Unlike Lu Yonggui who went to Yanjing with the eldest lady Lazy look at her face Take this opportunity to go out and have fun

What does Wu Xiao's family want to express?

They are the confidants of the eldest lady!

What is there to suggest to her at the risk of offending the eldest lady?

Eleven Niang was lost in thought.

"Then we went back to the warm Pavilion, and Luoqiao had already left. Feicui is removing forsythia

"Oh Eleven Niang returns to God, "what does she say?"

Dongqing said with a smile, "you know, they have always been wrong. It seems that there was something wrong with Forsythia when she was on duty. She slapped her face and left a mark on her face. She can't show her face in front of people these days. Feicui has a look of schadenfreude. "

Eleven Niang once again fell into meditation.

(red envelope to see me, very happy! We went out to dinner together...)
