I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

Hui Niang did what she said, seeing that Forsythia was really curious, she gave her a half-day vacation and asked her to go home later, and come in to serve in the next morning.Although Lianqiao hoped that Anise would go to the front and take her to join in the fun, she was not dissatisfied with Anise's decision.

Seeing Lianqiao bouncing back, Banxia couldn't help but persuade Huiniang, "Lisianqiao is still young, it's a very lively time, in a few years, with more experience, you will be able to become more stable."

Hui Niang was noncommittal, she had no contact with Forsythia in her previous life, and in this life she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lianqiao's current temperament. At least now that she hasn't caused any trouble, Forsythia's innocence makes her With some fresh feeling.Moreover, she had to admit that Lian Qiao's status as the housekeeper's daughter gave her a little more confidence and reliance when she was planning for a rainy day.

Moreover, in the final analysis, it's not that Hui Niang is really not curious about what happened in the old lady's yard, it's just that the idea of ​​staying away from trouble overwhelmed this curiosity, so she forcibly held back and took the maid to the old lady's house immediately. Watch the excitement in the wife's room.It's just that after hearing about this, Animian lost the leisure and elegance to continue planting flowers. After washing her hands, she went back to the house and sat for a while, but she still couldn't calm down.

Ban Xia looks funny from the sidelines, but she can't be like Forsythia, urging Hui Niang to go there. Even at the moment when this incident happened, she was the maid in charge of Hui Niang, so she couldn't just go there to inquire about the news. When I came back to calm Aniang's curiosity, I had no choice but to divert the topic as much as possible, so as to share Auntie's spirit.

"Girl, when it's November, it's the master's birthday, and the wife's birthday, which is also in the twelfth lunar month. It's best to prepare these two birthday gifts now. The slave has thought of a few things to give Yes, the girl chooses one of them?"

Hui Niang raised her head and smiled, and turned all her attention to talking to Banxia, ​​"I've already made up my mind, and I'm thinking about discussing it with Sister Banxia. On my father's side, I want to make a pair of happy clogs as a gift, but I don't know. For the father's foot size, I will need the help of Sister Banxia to inquire about this. As for the wife, I will make a soft hat and send it to the wife. If it is more delicately embroidered, it will be decent enough."

Growing up in her old parents, Hui Niang had no father-daughter relationship with Qin Mengyuan, and only had a relationship with the Wei family - even on the surface, the two sides were estranged from each other.Hui Niang remembered that in her last life, when she first came to Beijing from her hometown, the Wei family treated her warmly for a while, but in this life, she hardly showed even this fake enthusiasm. Forbidding Wei's way of doing things, she simply kept her at a respectful distance, including her sisters, and also adhered to the tenet of "no one offends me, and I will not offend others". When I moved to Dongpianyuan, the sisters also gave me some small gifts.

This time, she planned to give Qin Mengyuan and Wei Shi's birthday presents, and she chose two well-regulated things, which were not outstanding, but not easy to make mistakes.Coupled with the fact that Pinellia was on the sidelines as a consultant, the master and servant discussed for a long time, and decided on the materials, silk threads, and patterns to be embroidered to make these things.

After discussing these things, it is almost time to go to the old lady's house to say hello - this is the time when you can go to watch the fun, no matter how calm Animian looked at before, it is inevitable that she will show a little eagerness at this time, and Ban Xia plans to give it to her. She removed the braids and re-combed her hair, but Animian couldn't wait to go, "I didn't lie down after taking a nap today, so I don't need to re-comb my hair, just change to a skirt and go."

Ban Xia smiled, but followed Aniniang's words and did not comb her hair again.

Forsythia is on vacation, so today Banxia has to follow Hui Niang in person. There is only a small door between the east side courtyard and the old lady's yard, and the door is between the main courtyard and the back yard where the old lady lives. The hallway, and a few steps forward, you will arrive at the old lady's room.

Hui Niang knew earlier that Wei Shi, Fu Niang, and Zhi Niang all arrived at the old lady's room in the middle of the afternoon, now when she took a closer look, not only Polygonatum and Ginkgo, but also Ling Niang's maid, Chuan Bei, And Yinniang's maid, Liancao, was also standing in the corridor together, it could be seen that Lingniang and Yinniang had already arrived, and she was the last one to arrive.

She quickly winked at Banxia, ​​left Banxia outside the door to chat with the maids, and quickly walked into the main room by herself.

On weekdays, every morning and evening, the old lady's room is always very lively. Although the juniors dare not speak or act in front of grandma, they still talk and laugh, at least on the surface it looks very warm.But today, not only the aunts, but even the decent young ladies dare not whisper small words, and all of them are sitting on the couch or on the kang honestly, only Brother Ming is not there.The concubines are complete, even the third concubine, the fourth concubine, and the fifth concubine who are rarely seen in the old lady's room are all present, but they all stand in a row with their hands tied, all with their heads slightly lowered, looking at their noses and mouths.Only Mrs. Wei was sitting on the teacher's chair next to the old lady's couch, her expression was quite calm, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

When Hui Niang first entered the room, she didn't hear any movement in the room, and she already felt strange in her heart. When she went around the screen and entered the small flower hall, she was immediately startled by the scene in front of her eyes: the old lady was standing straight in front of the couch. There were three people kneeling, and they could only be seen clearly when they got closer. They were Qin Jiarong, Da Yi Niang, and Bai Shu.

What the hell happened, that there has been no result from the trouble in the middle of the afternoon?

The atmosphere in the room was very solemn, unlike the old days where the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren gathered together in the morning and evening Dingsheng, it had a taste of interrogating prisoners.Hui Niang was also a little at a loss for a while, she looked around, and it was Wei Shi who gave her a wink and nodded slightly.At this moment, Hui Niang didn't care about what Wei's secret plan was up to, and after getting this wink, she boldly stepped forward to salute the old lady, and said in a soft voice: "Grandmother, granddaughter is late. "

"En." The old lady gave Aninian a casual look, but didn't say much.

Hui Niang hurriedly sat beside Fu Niang, following her example, she put her hands on her lap, holding the handkerchief—— After a closer look, she was shocked again: the corners of Fu Niang's eyes were slightly red, and her eyelids were still a little swollen. It was obvious that he had just cried.Her gaze involuntarily fell on Qin Jiarong who was kneeling on the ground.

Funiang's crying was obviously because of her twin brother, but Huiniang looked at the expression on Qin Jiarong's face: there was still a bit of stubbornness and willfulness on Muran's face, it didn't look like she had a heart of repentance, I don't know what he did wrong this time, to make the old lady so angry, let him kneel on the ground, and not let him get up.

It was rare for Hui Niang to feel the feeling of a hundred claws scratching her heart, but she also guessed that everyone was silent now, waiting for Qin Mengyuan to come back, so she had to wait patiently.

After waiting for another half a cup of tea, Qin Mengyuan finally dragged in from the outer room, glanced at his son who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Today, the yamen has something urgent to do, and after finishing the errand, I was dragged away by my colleagues." I stayed and talked for a while, and came back a bit late..."

"Okay." The old lady interrupted her son's pleading words, "I know you have a lot of things in the yamen, and it's important to run errands--something big or small happened at home today, otherwise I wouldn't rush I want someone to find you." He stretched out his hand to touch the eldest grandson who was kneeling on the ground, "Even though Brother Rong was raised in my yard, he was always your son. It's better for you to make up your own mind - just ask Brother Rong, what happened today."

As soon as Qin Mengyuan walked out of the yamen, he saw the housekeeper who came looking for him, but he didn't know what happened at home - the whole family knew that something happened to the young master, but it happened in the old lady's house He never left this room from the beginning to the end, so the housekeeper naturally couldn't tell Qin Mengyuan anything.

"Ma'am—" Qin Mengyuan coughed lightly before opening his mouth slowly, but asked Wei Shi, "This is today..."

"Don't ask your wife." The old lady interrupted Qin Mengyuan coldly, "It's not easy for your wife to be a housekeeper these years, and it's also very hard for you to help raise your children. But she has never touched Brother Rong's upbringing. You and I understand these things in my heart. Brother Rong has an accident. I am responsible as a grandmother, and you as a father are even more responsible. Only your daughter-in-law is innocent. This is what I mean. Don’t let you The daughter-in-law spoke."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qin Mengyuan to speak, he pointed to other people in the room and said, "Although this matter is not big or small, it may also affect the future of our family, so I will make the decision and let other children listen to it together—" —— Funiang and the others are girls, but after they get married, they still need to rely on the support of their natal family to be confident in their husband's family. Our family looks pretty good now, but it will be Rong and Rong who will hold up the lintel in the future daughter-in-law, girls should always know what kind of talent their future sister-in-law or sister-in-law will be."

The Wei family didn't even have the right to speak, and the juniors were only allowed to listen in. Of course, even if Qin Mengyuan really asked the daughters, except for Fu Niang and Zhi Niang, the remaining three would not know what happened.Hui Niang was even a little curious, what happened to Brother Rong - it must be a family scandal to cause such a big fight, right?Brother Rong is the eldest grandson, and he has just passed the examination as a scholar. In Huiniang's opinion, no matter what happens, she should cover it up, so as to maintain her dignity.Such a miserable side, really shouldn't be seen by the girls at home...

After receiving the old lady's words, Wei Shi acted like a bystander. She even picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Qin Mengyuan couldn't ask his wife because of his face, let alone his concubine and daughters. Even though he was unwilling in every possible way, he put up his airs and reprimanded his son sharply, "Little animal, what did you do to provoke you? Grandma is so angry? You won't even save face! Hurry up and apologize to your grandma!"
