Because of the good show of the Green Handmaiden, the whole palace was settled a lot. In addition, the Queen Mother added a lot of rare objects, and praised the princess' virtuous virtue and Shuhui in her oral decree. Suddenly, some time ago, the princess hinted that the princess had given birth to children earlier. Things are not what she does.
The empress dowager's move was undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill to Hua Xiwan, and revealed a meaning that her old man did not force Wang Xian to take a concubine. Princess Xian was very good, she was very satisfied, and others should not speculate.
No one could understand what the Queen Mother's repeated and repeated plans were. Some people suddenly remembered that King Xian had been to the Queen Mother's palace a day ago, and had spent a lot of time in it. Instead, King Xian went to beg the Queen Mother.
King Xian's move immediately aroused the praise of the women in the backyard of the boudoir in the capital, and even the female relatives who originally only thought he had a few looks also felt that he was not bad. Most normal women in the world would especially appreciate such men who love their wives and daughters, so unknowingly, Yan Jinqiu won the title of a good man among many women.
Seeing more men who sacrificed their wives in joy, anger and filial piety, such a man as King Xian is rare, and the female relatives praise Yan Jinqiu, naturally there are also female relatives who envy Hua Xiwan, and some male compatriots feel that their recent life seems to be It's not so smooth, the reason is that they have an inexplicable reference.
In the mansion of the third master of Hua, the wedding date of Hua Chuyu and the son of the Lin family is scheduled for the end of autumn. Although there is still half a year left, and the mansion has prepared a lot of dowry for her, Yao shi still instructs the servants to show all kinds of novelties all day long. Stupid, that attitude can't wait to give all the best things to Hua Chuyu as a dowry.
Although Sanye Hua's family is not a particularly dazzling big man in the capital, they are supported by the Houfu behind them, and there is also a princess Xian who is favored by the king, so although the third master Hua does not have much real power, he sent them out. The purchases are very respectable in various shops.
On this day, the buyer in the mansion valued a box of pearls, and even paid the deposit, but it was forcibly bought by the buyer at the Duanhe Princess Mansion.
After listening to the cause and effect, Yao shi cursed bitterly, "A widow whose husband has died and her brother died is also so mad, let's see how long she can be proud."
"Mother," Hua Chuyu hurriedly stopped Yao's words and comforted her, "It's just some pearls, and it's not a rare thing. It's nothing if you have it."
"Silly girl, I want to make a pearl shirt for you as a dowry. Who would have known that Princess Duanhe would be so shameless and snatch something from our mansion," Yao Shi was unwilling, but she herself understood, Princess Duanhe has always had a tough personality, and most people can only give in to what she likes. These days, their family's purchases have been so smooth, and it is more because of the power of Hou's Mansion and Prince Xian's Mansion. Otherwise, their family would not be able to buy so many good things even with more money.
Thinking of Hua Xiwan, Yao shi asked unnaturally: "Do you have any relationship with the man in the palace now? It was rumored a few days ago that the queen mother was not satisfied with her, but is it true?"
"King Xian treats his younger sister with sincerity. As long as King Xian has no other thoughts, the third sister will be fine." Hua Chuyu recalled the rumors she heard yesterday, saying that a maid from Prince Xian's mansion had the intention to seduce King Xian, but was sent by King Xian. In the laundry room, even with the steward, he said, "You don't have to worry about the third sister, she is living well in the palace now."
"Who cares about her," Yao shi coughed uncomfortably. "She is the young lady of the Hou residence, and she is also the princess, so why should we, the poor family, worry about it?"
Hua Chuyu smiled, understanding her hard-mouthed and soft-hearted character, and changed the subject: "I heard that there were some minor conflicts in the second uncle's house. Last time I was in my grandmother's house, I saw the eldest sister with a haggard expression, and I was thinking about whether I should do it or not. Take her to our house for a few days..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yao was interrupted. Yao shi said with a sullen face, "You are a girl who is planning to marry, and it is unlucky to take her to live in the mansion." Yao shi paused, worried that what he said was too unkind, and sighed, "It's not that I am unkind. It's just that the big girl's temperament really doesn't appeal to me. These days, her temperament has become weird and deep. I'm afraid that she will go crazy and hurt you one day. Your brother's temperament follows that of the prince in the big room. , you are the only child who seems to be smart and clever, but you are still very emotional, why don't you worry about me?"
Hua Chuyu was silent. She originally just said it casually, but she didn't expect her mother to say such a thing. In fact, among the three sisters, she has a closer relationship with Hua Xiwan. Since she was a child, she felt that the eldest sister was somewhat introverted and sensitive, but she was stronger. Being with the eldest sister is not as fun and relaxing as being with the third sister. She is not heavy on feelings. She just saw the eldest sister so haggard and worried about what happened to her.
"Mother, what you said..." Hua Chuyu hesitated for a while, "Although the eldest sister is a little more sensitive, she is not so... extreme."
"How old are you?" Yao shi chuckled, "I've seen people like the eldest girl before. Not only me, but even the tigress in the big room doesn't seem to like her much. You haven't seen that. When the three girls went back to their parents' house to visit them recently, did the tigress no longer like to ask the second girl to go over and talk to the third girl? Every time she invited you to the Hou's mansion, what reason did she say?"
Only then did Hua Chuyu remember that the third sister had returned to the Hou Mansion these days, and the few times she went to talk with the third sister, she had never seen the eldest sister appear. It was only at this moment that she suddenly realized that the eldest aunt had already disliked the eldest sister so much when she called, but when the third sister in winter returned to the Hou residence last year, she was still fine.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Yao shi had no choice but to make her words clearer: "Although that tigress has no merits, she is not a careful person, as long as she doesn't move her child, she will turn a blind eye to other trivial matters. It's passed. But if she dares to think about her three children, she will dare to fight with others."
When Hua Chuyu heard this, she thought silently in her heart, mother likes to take advantage of the aunt's mouth on weekdays.
"When Miss Dongsan returned to the mansion last year, did you pay attention to the look in the eyes of the eldest girl when she looked at the third uncle Xianwang?" Yao shi lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "That dead girl is not thinking right."
Hua Chuyu's back was cold, and fine sweat broke out on her forehead. Could it be that the eldest sister has such thoughts about King Xian? King Xian is the husband of the third sister, how could she have such an unthinkable mind
"If it's just like this, then when the third girl returns to the mansion at the end of the year, you look at the appearance of the eldest girl, tsk tsk tsk, I really feel pity, tell me, who is this look to seduce?" Yao Shi disdainfully With a sneer, "that woman from Zhang's family said something from a scholarly family, but look at what she is, and what kind of daughter she taught. Even her brother-in-law is thinking about her, and I'm so embarrassed for her."
Although Yao thinks that she is not a virtuous and virtuous person, she does not look down on Zhang's self-righteous, but disgusting behavior. At least she can't do anything to sell her daughter's honor, and her daughter can't even think about it. brother-in-law.
"Just like her, she is too embarrassed to seduce King Xian, and she doesn't look in the mirror to see how she compares to the three girls."
Although Yao's words are a bit rough, they are also very reasonable. Hua Chuyu is not a black and white person. After listening to these words, he made up his mind to stay away from Hua Yiliu in the future, for nothing else. Just for Hua Yiliu's inappropriate thoughts.
Not to mention that the third sister and the husband and wife of King Xian are deeply in love, but only that the third sister helped the eldest sister out of the sea of misery, the eldest sister should not and should not have such thoughts. She despised such a person, the so-called way of doing things is different, that's it.
In the palace of King Xian, Hua Xiwan found some bright and festive gems and jade in the private library, and asked Bai Xia Hongying to sort them out, and then selected some of them.
"These things should be sent to the third uncle's mansion. The second sister will get married at the end of the autumn. These things are suitable for her dowry. If it is later, it will be too late." When Hua Yiliu got married, she put on makeup. Yes, so now that Hua Chuyu is married, she can only give it according to Hua Yiliu's example. But she is closer to Hua Chuyu, and it is human nature to send more things in private.
Between people, there is a distinction between closeness and distance, whether they are close to each other. She treats Hua Yiliu as a cousin, and when she treats Hua Chuyu, it is a good sister.
"Don't worry, Princess, the things have already been distributed, and I will send them to the second girl together with the two maids later," Bai Xia smiled and put a box of rubies into the pile to be sent out, and then handed over the gift slip. In front of Hua Xiwan, "Do you see any omissions?"
After reading it carefully, Hua Xiwan thought about it and said, "Didn't Mutong have someone send a box of pearls a few days ago. I saw that the condition was very good, so I also sent it to the second sister. It has been stored for a long time, The color doesn't look good, the second sister has delicate skin, and she looks the best with pearls."
Hongying went to the private storage to get a box full of pearls and put them away, Hua Xiwan was finally satisfied.
Yan Jinqiu walked into the room and saw that the table was covered with various gems, pearls, agates, and immediately smiled: "What are you doing, are you going to make new jewelry?" He was talking about too many jewelry a few days ago. , look at the shaking eyes, why are you interested in playing with these things today
Hua Xiwan pulled him to sit beside him, and after explaining the reason to him, pointed to the gift list and said, "If the second aunt found out, would there be trouble?"
"Did she ever say thank you to you when you rescued her daughter from the sea of misery?" Based on various reasons, Yan Jinqiu didn't have the slightest affection for Mrs. Zhang, so Hua Xiwan was estranged from Mrs. Zhang, and he liked it. Originally, he was worried that because his father-in-law and Hua Er Ye were brothers, Hua Xiwan would be closer to Hua Er's grandma, that is, Zhang's. Now it seems that this is nothing to worry about.
"She likes to make trouble or not, the things are yours, and whoever does not give them to whom, that's your freedom," Yan Jinqiu didn't have the slightest concern, "you don't have to worry about this, after the things are sorted, I will let Mutong Send it over tomorrow and see who dares to talk more."
Hua Xiwan:…
No matter how resourceful a man is, most of them are rough and simple when it comes to the back house.
However, she liked it.
