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

After dawn and dusk, when she got back to the East Side Courtyard, Animian ordered Banxia: "Get some things out, Eldest Sister is sick again, I'll go and see her... and find some more things, after seeing Eldest Sister , Go see brother Ming again."

There is nothing good in the East Side Courtyard, but the status of Anise is different now, and the old lady ordered her to take care of her. Not long after breakfast, the small kitchen rushed to deliver a few pastries and fruits that were used to be served in the house, Banxia Picked out a few, put them on a colorful glazed plate, and followed Hui Niang to the West Side Courtyard.

Unlike the last time when Yuzhu didn't even go into the bedroom, this time when Yuzhu saw Huiniang, she welcomed her in with a smile, and said repeatedly: "Our girl just woke up from a nap and drank some medicine, sweating a little, Yugui Waiting for the girl to change her clothes, the second girl is waiting outside—our girl is lonely alone, and I always feel that the servants are uneducated, and Yugui and I can't understand what they are saying, so I can't tell the girl Arriving at one place, I was looking forward to a sister who would come to talk with her, but the second girl happened to be here."

Hui Niang smiled slightly. The last time she came, Yuzhu's face of embarrassment but resolutely stopped her is still vivid. At that time, why didn't Funiang feel lonely alone and wanted her sisters to accompany her? talking?However, during this month, she and Fu Niang also met frequently, and Fu Niang's attitude towards her has not changed much. Obviously, Yuzhu's enthusiasm is not because she wants to enter the palace to be Princess Rongcheng's companion. For the sake of reading.

However, what else could have happened that made the attitude of the people in the West Side Courtyard suddenly turn a corner?

Hui Niang was suspicious, so she was not in a hurry to go inside, she just sat at the plum blossom table in the outside room, Yuzhu stood by and chatted with her, this was also a good opportunity to inquire about news.

"Eldest sister has become weaker and weaker in the past few months. She has been ill twice in the past one month. Eldest sister still stays in the house writing and embroidering every day? It should be basking in the sun in the yard."

Yu Zhu blinked, "The doctor said, our girl has been thinking too much these past few months..." She paused, without revealing anything more, raised her hand to pour a cup of tea for Hui Niang, and said with a smile: "We I also often persuade the girl to go out for a walk, or talk to the sisters... But, seeing that there will be too much needlework to do, although there are needleworkers to help, there is no leisure."

Hui Niang didn't understand what she said, she was about to ask calmly, when Fu Niang's voice came from inside, "Is Second Sister here? Please come in!"

Yu Zhu hurriedly asks Hui Niang to stand up and enter the room, but Hui Niang has no choice but to temporarily put aside the doubts in her mind, and gets up and walks into the wife's bedroom.

The wife had already changed her clothes—perhaps she had combed her hair again, and sat cross-legged on the kang under the window, with a fur blanket covering her legs and leaning on the pillow behind her back.She was pale, with obvious sickness, but she was in good spirits and seemed to be in a good mood. "Second sister is here, sit down quickly, the kang is warm."

After coming to Beijing for nearly a year, Fu Niang has never been so warm to her.

Hui Niang was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and sat down opposite Fu Niang, she also took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang, "Is Eldest Sister getting better?"

"It's much better." Fu Niang smiled while holding her mouth, "It's no wonder you're still thinking about me when you're so busy."

"Sister is sick, it's only natural for a younger sister to visit her..." Aninian said while carefully examining Funiang's face, "Why is eldest sister so happy today? Could it be that she is sick and can finally stop going home?" Learn to write and embroider..."

Fu Niang chuckled, "Second Sister was joking." She lowered her head slightly, and took a sip from the cup on the table, with a blush on her face, "However, from now on, I really don't have to Go home and learn how to write and embroider."

"Eldest sister means..."

"Yesterday when my aunt came to see me, she told me that my father had made the decision on my marriage, and there was no room for repentance even on the wife's side—Second Sister, I really don't know how to thank you." Funiang's face was full of embarrassment, but when she looked at Aniniang, her eyes were shining, and there was sincere gratitude in her.

But Hui Niang was confused, "This is a happy event! But, what does it have to do with my sister?"

Funiang smiled slightly, turned her head and looked out the window, she didn't answer Huiniang's question, but said something else, "Second sister may not know, although I grew up next to the old lady when I was young, but the old lady The treatment of me is really average, not as good as the treatment of my elder brother. I have always known that in the future, my marriage will definitely be arranged by my wife - my wife is very filial to the old lady, but deep down she doesn't like it The old lady, except for the elder brother's marriage, she will definitely not touch it, and the marriages of the girls, she will definitely hold her hands--I have already seen my own path, and the future husband-in-law, It must have been chosen from among my wife's natal relatives."

This is not just Fu Niang's path, in her previous life, why not walk this path by herself?

She has sympathy in her heart, and the more she can understand the despair and bitterness in Fu Niang's words.

"Actually, marrying a relative of my wife's natal family is not necessarily really bad. It's just..." Fu Niang paused, as if she couldn't find a suitable word to describe that feeling.

Aninian lifted her lips, wanting to say that she actually knew that feeling.Besides, as far as she knew, the family that the Wei family had chosen for his wife in the last life was pretty good. Although the husband and son-in-law were not young talents and did not have the talent to become generals and prime ministers, they had a solid family background. But they are more than mature, and they can stand still after they get married and have two children in succession. They have both children-such an ordinary life may also be called happiness.

However, there are still some deficiencies in the end. The regret of having no choice and being at the mercy of others may linger with him throughout his life.

Seeing the look on Fu Niang's face, Aninian swallowed the words again.When she looked back again, the bitterness on Funiang's face was gone, and she was full of hope and sweetness, "Auntie said, my father has already selected a family for me, it is the son of a county magistrate, and... ...The third prince is about the same age, and has a reputation as a scholar."

This condition... Huiniang hesitated for a moment, it was hard to say whether she was compatible with Funiang, but judging from Funiang's appearance, at least she was very satisfied. "Sounds like a very well-matched marriage." Hui Niang laughed.

"His father said that he is not a big official, but the land under his jurisdiction is in the south of the Yangtze River. It is the most affluent and good place in the world. The son is still a legitimate son, and he is willing to study. At least he has a reputation. Relying on his father, he will be able to do it in a few years." One of them, Second Sister, if it wasn't for you, this marriage would not be my turn."

Hui Niang shook her head with a puzzled expression on her face, "Elder Sister's words confuse me, how did my younger sister help my elder sister? I can't even figure out my own troubles. I've been confused for the past few months." Confused."

Her words were half-truths, but the emotions revealed were real.Funiang listened, but she smiled slightly, and this smile was a little more sincere than usual, "My sister doesn't spend much time in the capital. Although I haven't been to my hometown, I occasionally hear my grandmother and father say that my hometown Relatives are always more simple than people in the capital, and Uncle Meng Zhangtang's family is even more rare kind-hearted people. The second sister lived with Uncle Meng Zhangtang's family since she was a child, so I'm afraid she really doesn't understand the twists and turns of the capital."

Although these words were somewhat mocking, they were not annoying. On the contrary, they privately praised Auntie's kindness and kindness, which made Auntie feel a little ashamed.

"Any matter in the capital that can be related to the royal family, no matter how big or small, is a first-class matter—unless it is really secret, but even if it is, the news that can really not be spread How many are there? There are no small things in the royal family, and even those trivial things may be used by those who are interested in causing trouble. Not to mention—” She paused, looking at Hui Niang, “Second sister was chosen as Rongcheng The princess's accompanying reading, such a big or small thing."

Fu Niang stretched out her hand, signaling for Hui Niang to drink tea, "Princess Rongcheng is the empress's own daughter, and the second younger sister was chosen as her companion, which shows that both character and talent are recognized by the empress. And I , as your elder sister, she will naturally benefit from it."

Speaking of which, although Hui Niang was born a little higher than Fu Niang, she appeared to be the concubine of the Shangshu Mansion, but she grew up in her hometown in the Northwest—the previous year she could only be called a wild girl in the village, Fu Niang's Behaving in a decent manner is the serious young lady.But now, in Fu Niang's description, it seems that she got a good marriage only because of Aniniang's favor.

Just thinking about this kind of thing, Hui Niang thinks it's very unfair, but Fu Niang's tone does not show any displeasure, but is full of joy.

"In the past few months, so many things have happened in the family. The elder brother has angered the father..." Funiang sighed, "I have already given up on my marriage, and I even took Yuzhu to plan together that day. My wife will marry me to one of her natal relatives. I didn't expect that things will turn around, but now it can't be better. "

"Eldest sister overestimates me." Hui Niang comforted Fu Niang in a low voice, "I think elder sister is very good, she is well educated, even if I am not here, there will definitely be many people who will come to propose marriage."

"But those people, in the eyes of my father, are probably not as good as my wife's natal relatives." Fu Niang shook her head, "I'm not arrogantly belittling myself, but the second sister may not know that although my father has a high official position, he wants to go up One step is difficult. Those promising junior officials, even if they are willing to use their own sons to beg the concubine daughters of high-ranking officials, they still choose those girls from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and even some Hanlin. There is no shortage of girls in the family who hope to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister. However, my father's official position has reached the top, and I am a concubine, and most people are only willing to use the concubine to beg..."

Hui Niang put down the cup in her hand, she just felt that she had been dazzled by these concubines and concubines, and she didn't know where Fu Niang heard about it, she never noticed the difference between the people in the capital towards the concubines in her previous life. How important is that?

Perhaps it was because the disapproval on her face was too obvious, Fu Niang quickly stopped the topic, and said: "Second sister, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me, anyway, I only remember this love from you."
