When Hui Niang returned to the Eastern Side Courtyard, she still felt that what happened tonight was a little unbelievable.

Bai Shu is interested in Qin Jiarong, this is something she has already seen in April, even saying that the two of them hooked up at Tan Hui Temple, this will not make Hui Niang feel strange.But in just five or six months, she suddenly persisted and her heart was like a rock, which made her unable to understand.

Hui Niang was thinking about this wholeheartedly, her face became a little stiff, Ban Xia didn't dare to make a sound all the way, until she returned to her room, she asked Hui Niang in a soft voice: "Miss, just now in the old lady's room... "

"Huh?" Hui Niang glanced at Ban Xia before realizing it, and asked, "You guys really don't know what's going on inside when you're outside?"

Ban Xia cautiously shook her head, "We stood outside and could hear a little noise from inside the room, but the girl might not have noticed that today, Mama Zheng from the old lady's yard was guarding the door in person, we maids just Even those who can stand on the porch are guarded tightly and are not allowed to whisper..."

Hui Niang nodded thoughtfully, "It's really not suitable for you to hear this matter..." She looked at Ban Xia's face, and suddenly smiled, "Of course I believe in Sister Ban Xia, but I still believe Looking at the old lady and the lady——Baizhu is doing something bad, you all saw it?"

"I see." Speaking of Bai Shu, Ban Xia had lingering fears on his face, "It was dragged out by a few women in the outer courtyard, and they gagged their mouths with a white cloth, and couldn't even shout, with tears all over their faces."

"She said she was pregnant with eldest brother's child." Hui Niang curled her lips, "Eldest brother also said that he wanted to marry her as his first wife. Grandmother and father were very angry when they heard that."

"How could Eldest Young Master say such a thing?" Ban Xia was taken aback, and suddenly thought of something, "Then Zisu Sister..."

"Zisu's life is really bitter. Now that my elder brother refuses to take her, it's not that easy to promise her to someone else."

Zisu is the roommate of the eldest grandson that the old lady has been eyeing for many years. The whole family knows about it. Now that Brother Rong refuses to accept her, which servant of the family dares to take her?If she is released to marry someone, the possibility of marrying a good family is not high. Besides, when the old lady is willing to let someone out, that is still a matter of discussion.

Hui Niang wants to help Zisu, but unfortunately she has nowhere to go, so she is powerless.

After sitting under the window and sighing for a while, Hui Niang changed her clothes under the attention of Ban Xia, removed her braids, and took a bath in the clean room arranged in the back room—the time Ban Xia lamented was even shorter than that of Hui Niang, Regarding the matter of Zisu and Baishu, I only said a few words of my own opinion, "Baishu's heart is too big, but Zisu's failure to follow the young master may not be a hard thing. If the old lady If you let her go out, even if you marry a small street vendor and become a straight-faced woman, it may not be more difficult than your aunt's life." After finishing speaking, he went to do his own business.

Hui Niang only remembered the two words of Banxia when she was taking a bath, and only asked her: "Sister Banxia thinks being an aunt is not good?"

Ban Xia was startled, and after a while he murmured: "Everyone has their own destiny, and the slaves don't dare to say that being an aunt is not good, but these years at home, watching the days of several aunts——Da aunt The life with the sixth aunt is naturally the best, and the second aunt is also looking forward to it, but the life of the third, fourth, and fifth aunts is not so comfortable. The fifth aunt is young, and I heard that occasionally the master will go to her Going in the house, sometimes it looks more casual, the third aunt and the fourth aunt live like girls in the nunnery, copying the scriptures when they have nothing to do on weekdays—that’s it, the scriptures they copied, the old lady I can’t even look down on them, saying they are dishonest.”

While rubbing Hui Niang's scalp, she continued: "To speak presumptuously, the food and clothing expenses of Third Auntie and Fourth Auntie are not much better than Sister Zisu's, but such a life is too much. It's boring. If Sister Zisu follows the young master, the food and clothing will not be better than now. If she is unlucky, she will end up with the third aunt and fourth aunt in the future, then..."

Ban Xia swallowed the words "too pitiful" abruptly, but it was impossible for Hui Niang not to hear it.With her eyes closed, she leaned against the wall of the bathtub, her head slightly tilted back, but she was sighing in her heart: Pinellia and Zisu have been together for a long time, she can think this way because she is smart, but Zisu may not be able to do it. See through it all.

At least look at Zisu's performance today...

After taking a bath, Hui Niang walked slowly to the bed in her nightgown, and Ban Xia quickly followed. "Sister Banxia, ​​in your opinion, is Zisu sister interested in the position of aunt, or is she unintentional?"

Ban Xia was asked by Hui Niang abruptly, she was still a little dazed, she thought for a long time before saying: "This... the servant will not be able to see it." She turned around and blew out the candle beside the bed, leaving only a lamp in the corner of the room, and then said: Going back to Animian's bed again, she made the quilt and curtains for her, and said, "The old lady has taken a fancy to Sister Zisu a few years ago, and she has been talking about Sister Zisu serving the young master for a long time. Zisu Even if Sister Su didn't have such thoughts in the beginning, after a long time, she will inevitably acquiesce that she is the young master's person..."

"Maybe." After worrying all night, Anilian felt drowsy as soon as she got under the blanket.Originally, she wanted to chat with Banxia about Zisu again, but now she had no energy, and she just waited for Banxia to put up the bed curtain for her, and immediately fell asleep.

***

When she woke up the next morning, Hui Niang originally wanted to chat with Ban Xia about the previous day, but she suddenly thought that from today onwards, she would go to the Wei family's courtyard to settle the morning and evening, so she hurriedly told Ban Xia to hurry up. The speed of dressing up, and hastily drank a few sips of porridge before rushing out the door—while walking around the old lady's yard, I bumped into Lianqiao who was coming back from work, ignoring the surprise on Lianqiao's face, He only asked her to go back to the East Side Courtyard first, and left in a hurry.

Wei's yard is extremely lively today.She rarely accepts greetings from her children in her own yard. She used to go to serve the old lady every morning when she woke up, and she only met her non-biological children in the old lady's house.This time the old lady exempted her grandsons and granddaughters, but she did not say that she could not go to serve her mother-in-law. Therefore, after getting up in the morning to serve her mother-in-law, she had to come back to see her children, but she had to travel even more than before.

After entering the room and saluting to Wei Shi, Hui Niang sat aside - Fu Niang didn't show up on leave, so she sat on the first chair to Wei Shi's left. Looking from the side, she felt that Wei Shi's face was a bit unattractive.

"Your father came home very late last night, and he left early this morning." With a sluggish look, Wei tried to cheer up and told his daughters, "Calm down these days, and don't cause any troubles for you. Father and grandmother are upset. As for Funiang, she has had a high fever since last night, so you all go visit my sister later."

Hui Niang originally thought that Funiang didn't come to pay her respects because her younger brother had an accident and felt unwell, but she didn't expect that she was really sick, and she couldn't bear it for a moment.Seeing the maid beside Wei Shi winking at her, she suddenly reacted: Fu Niang is not here, she is the oldest daughter here, when Wei Shi puts on airs to teach girls, she should take the younger sisters to answer "" Yes"——Although Zhi Niang is pampered, she is rare to understand the rules at this time, and does not rush to speak in front of her sister, but Hui Niang is born without this self-awareness.Usually there is Fu Niang standing in front of her, but now that Fu Niang is not there, Hui Niang is a little bit lost.

She got up quickly, recalling Funiang's usual appearance, led her sisters to stand up and salute "yes".Fortunately, Wei Shi didn't have enough energy to pick on Hui Niang's fault today. Seeing that it was almost time, she asked her maid to send her daughters to school.

On the way from the main courtyard to the home school, Zhi Niang and Ling Niang were whispering behind their ears, Yin Niang was used to following her two elder sisters, she walked at the end without speaking, so she left Hui Niang alone.

After living in the capital for more than half a year, it was the first time that Hui Niang realized the importance of Fu Niang's existence. Although she and Fu Niang hadn't really become close in the past six months, she felt really lonely when Fu Niang was away. , and being out of place with my sisters.

It was fine when I didn’t realize this at first, but now the more I think about it, the more I feel bad. Fortunately, during the class, Aniliang’s all her thoughts were on the temporary post, and she didn’t have the time to think about it. Walking towards the courtyard, when she was the only one returning to the old lady's courtyard, she missed Shanniang for no reason.

In the past half a year, she has only passed two letters with Shanniang. The last letter from Shanniang was brought by Brother Tuo Rong two months ago. It is almost the end of the year, so she should prepare some gifts I asked someone to bring it back to my hometown and give it to Shanniang, and my cousin's family.

"Second girl."

Hui Niang was thinking all the way, when she just walked to the door in the back corner of the old lady's yard, she saw Zisu walking towards her.After the turmoil last night, when she suddenly saw Zisu, Animian couldn't help showing a little embarrassment on her face, and she couldn't hide the uneasiness when she spoke, "Why is Sister Zisu waiting for me here in person?"

There was nothing unnatural about Zisu's face. If it weren't for the black and blue eyes and pale complexion that were too obvious, people who didn't know the inside story might not be able to see that she was also related to yesterday's turmoil.But speaking of it, she could be regarded as being affected by innocence...

"Second girl, someone is coming from the palace, and they are waiting to see you in the old lady's yard."

As soon as Zisu opened her mouth, the news that Anenniang said really surprised Animian, "People in the palace?" Aninian looked at Zisu with a somewhat helpless face, but she guessed something vaguely in her heart. The incident more than a month ago, today finally has tangible news.

Although this gesture was a little pretentious, it made Zisu feel a little pity for Hui Niang, she explained softly: "The eunuch next to the empress personally delivered the decree, which is great news."
