Chapter 1244 The Oriole Is Behind (2)
It was supposed to be very hot at the end of June. But the weather is beautiful, it rained lightly in the morning, and there was no sun after the rain. The weather is naturally cooler.
Xiang Shi was originally in a good mood, but when the guests came, she was in a bad mood.
Sixteen invitations were issued, but only six people came. The six people who came were Qiqi, the eldest daughter-in-law Liu Shi, Xu Yue's sister-in-law Guo Shi, the wife of the Duke of Wei's family Luo Shi, Zhou Peisong's wives Yun Shi and Yu Rong. Although the other ten people all came with presents, this behavior obviously offended her.
Yu Rong said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the dress you are wearing today is really pretty."
Xiang Shi is wearing a twelve-panel Yuehua skirt today. The skirt has many pleats, and every step she takes seems to be moving in the lake.
Hearing this, Xiang showed a smile on his face: "This is specially asked by the embroiderer of Heyifang."
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "This is tribute satin, and the quantity is very small. Brother and sister are really lucky people."
Between the words of the two, there was a sense of holding Xiang Shi. Although the other four were about the same age as Xiang's, because they were juniors, they all laughed and agreed.
The group talked for a long time, but Zhong Minxiu and Xu Yue did not come out. Everyone was a little surprised that Mrs. Xiang held a birthday banquet but went to Lingshan Temple to offer incense, which was very strange in the first place. Now that the two daughters-in-law haven't come out yet, wouldn't it be even more surprising. However, no one would bring it up so blankly.
Xiang's eyes were not blank, she immediately sensed that the atmosphere was different, and said with a smile: "Fu Tuan, go and see what the eldest grandma and the second grandma are doing? Why haven't you come over yet?"
As soon as this was said, Zhong Minxiu walked in with Xu Yue, who had a big belly.
The two saluted Mrs. Xiang first, and then Xu Yue said with an apologetic face: "I was scared when I walked halfway and suddenly my stomach turned violently. The sister-in-law said that it was the child turning over in the stomach, and there was no hindrance. It took some time."
Zhong Minxiu said with a smile: "This is the first time my brother and sister are pregnant, and they have no experience, so the child suddenly moves frequently and becomes a little nervous."
Mrs. Xiang expressed her understanding and said with a smile: "I remember I was pregnant that day, and I was worried at the slightest sign of trouble." She was inexperienced as a mother for the first time, so she was naturally frightened.
In fact, the situation of the first pregnancy of these people here is similar to that of Xu Yue.
All the people present were born and raised. So talking about the topic of children can resonate with everyone.
After chatting for a long time, Mrs. Xiang stood up and said, "It's boring in the room, let's go for a walk in the garden!" It happened that there was no sun today, so it was just right to go to the garden.
Everyone naturally has no objection.
Walking to the door, Xu Yue suddenly groaned. Seeing everyone looking at her, Xu Yue said shyly, "This kid kicked me just now."
Seeing this, Xu Yue's sister-in-law, Mrs. Guo, turned her head and said to Mrs. Xiang: "The child in Ah Yue's stomach is making a fuss. Madame, do you think you should let Ah Yue go back to rest?" Guo's father is Xu Zhen's right-hand man. , she and Xu Yue have also known each other since childhood, and their relationship is like sisters. Seeing that Xu Yue is not feeling well, naturally she has to come forward.
Mrs. Xiang smiled and said to Xu Yue: "At first, I thought that moving around during pregnancy would be beneficial to childbirth. Since the child is making noise, then you should go back first!" Go for a walk in the garden together instead of letting them go back and rest.
Guo smiled and said: "Ma'am, then I'll take Ah Yue back!" She had a lot to say to Xu Yue.
Xiang nodded in agreement.
Many varieties of flowers are planted in the garden of the Korean government. However, these flowers are all common varieties, unlike the many exotic flowers and plants in Baihuayuan.
When these women get together, there are many topics to talk about. Children, clothes, jewelry, and by the way, something new and missing outside. While walking and chatting, most of the garden was finished in a blink of an eye.
Mrs. Xiang led the crowd to a bamboo grove, and there was a young man standing outside the grove. The boy's expression changed drastically when he saw the crowd. If there is no reason left,
He ran away immediately.
Zhong Minxiu's face changed slightly.
Xiang asked: "You are not working with Shizi, what are you doing here?"
As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that this young man was the young man next to Han Jiachang. This place is relatively remote, if they hadn't come along the road, I'm afraid they wouldn't have turned here.
This young man is called He Guang, and he is most favored by Han Jiachang on weekdays. It can step on other people to climb up, and it is also superior. He Guang immediately knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness: "Ma'am, forgive me, the son fell asleep in the study feeling a little uncomfortable. Gao Sheng guarded the son, I have nothing to do, so Tu Liang came here."
Zhong Minxiu said angrily: "My son is not feeling well, you didn't come to report it, it's fine, you didn't even wait by your side and ran here. What do you want a slave like you to do? Come on, take him down and beat him hard Twenty sticks."
Heguang deliberately pretended to be terrified, and said: "Grandma, please spare my life. I don't dare to do it anymore. I beg Grandma to spare my life." Hitting 20 boards is better than entering the bamboo forest. If found, he will die. In fact, He Guang also persuaded Brother Chang, but unfortunately he couldn't persuade him.
Xiang didn't speak.
Mrs. Zhou's Mrs. Yun looked at the bamboo forest at this moment, and said: "I seem to have seen someone running towards it just now." This means that this young man is lying.
Qi Qi frowned, and said: "Auntie, you must be dazzled, I didn't see anything just now." Qi Qi didn't think much about it, she just thought that this young man was having a private meeting with some maid here. But the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, it is better to close the door and deal with it by yourself, how can you make a fuss in front of the guests. If there is trouble, it is the Han family who are ashamed.
Seeing this, Zhong Minxiu hurriedly said: "Eldest sister is right, mother, let this slave be taken down for strict interrogation."
But Mrs. Xiang acted as if she hadn't heard what the two of them said, and said, "I want to see what the hell the dog is doing."
Luo Shi likes to go to theatres, so there is no way to miss a good show for free. Seeing Mrs. Xiang walking towards the bamboo forest, she followed immediately.
Yurong felt that something was wrong, she didn't want to follow at all. But everyone went, and she would feel guilty if she didn't go. If something really happened, she would definitely be suspicious.
Qi Qi and Liu Shi looked at each other, but in desperation they had no choice but to follow.
This small courtyard in the bamboo forest is Qingzhu Xiaozhu. When Yuxi suffered from smallpox, she was moved here to recuperate.
The group didn't see any maids, but when they walked outside the courtyard, they heard a blushing voice. That voice was really not small, and it was very loud.
Zhong Minxiu's complexion changed drastically, this voice was not from Ruyue at all, what's going on.
Luo Shi is a person who is not too big to watch the excitement. Not only did he not feel ashamed when he heard the voice, but ran into the courtyard excitedly. That slippery movement left others dumbfounded.
Mrs. Xiang was very happy, it saved her a lot of trouble if someone helped her to take the lead.
Qi Qi, Liu Shi and Yu Rong stood still, only Yun Shi and Zhong Minxiu followed in.
"Ah..." The scream could be heard three miles away.
Mrs. Guo helped Xu Yue back to the yard where she lived. After entering the house, Xu Yue waved away all the maids.
At this time, there was no one around, so Guo Shi didn't hesitate, and asked: "Your mother-in-law celebrates her birthday, why is your mother-in-law not at home?" This is very strange, but it's not easy to ask in front of everyone.
Xu Yue said with a smile: "Second Uncle and Second Master An both went to Changzhou to fight the war. Grandmother was very worried. She was very angry when she saw that her mother even held a birthday banquet. However, Grandmother has a good temper and went to Lingshan without arguing with her. Temple." Qiu's approach means that what is invisible is pure.
Mrs. Guo shook her head: "Which mother-in-law would not be happy when encountering such a thing. I heard that your mother-in-law is a smart person, but now it seems that the rumors are still not credible."
Xu Yue smiled and said: "It's not that she's not smart, but she has plans." Xiang thought she was doing it secretly, but her every move fell into the eyes of Zhong Minxiu and Xu Yue.
Guo asked with a puzzled face: "A Yue, what do you mean by that?"
Xu Yue smiled and said, "You'll find out later." She won't say anything more. Although Mrs. Guo is as close as a sister to her, and is now her own sister-in-law, there are some things that cannot be said.
Guo Shi laughed and scolded: "You still keep it a secret from me!" Although she laughed, she knew in her heart that she was afraid that this would not be a good thing.
After a while, Bai Ling, Xu Yue's confidant, came in and said, "Second Grandma, something happened, something serious happened."
When Guo Shi heard this, she looked at Xu Yue reflexively, and something really happened.
Xu Yue smiled and said: "It's just that you caught the son of the world having an affair with Zhong Wanting, what are you doing in such a hurry." The beautiful Zhong Wanting. Fortunately, my husband is different from him, he doesn't lift his eyelids when he sees Zhong Wanting.
Thinking of this, Xu Yue couldn't help sighing, Han Jiachang and her husband are really the same. It is unbelievable that these two were born to the same mother.
Bai Ling shook his head and said, "No. The second grandma is not Zhong Wanting, but Aunt Shi. The second grandma is Aunt Shi." The full name of this aunt Shi is Shi Qiaoman, and it was given to Han Jianming by Han Jiu a year ago. This Aunt Shi is said to be a girl from an official family. She has a beautiful face and is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Han Jianming especially likes it. Not long after entering the mansion, she was officially raised as a concubine. At that time, Mrs. Xiang hated her so much that her teeth were itching, and then she didn't know why Aunt Shi accidentally bumped into the old lady, and she was put under house arrest by the old lady for two months. Later, Han Jianming treated her a little coldly.
Xu Yue was stunned: "You didn't make a mistake?"
Bai Ling shook his head and said, "I can't be mistaken about such a big matter. You don't know that Grandma fainted when she saw Aunt Shi." Zhong Minxiu arranged for a maid beside Qiu Shi, but now It's no wonder she doesn't get dizzy after becoming Han Jianming's concubine. Having an affair with the maid next to my grandmother, although I was shamed by others, I could only say that she was flirtatious. But having an affair with a father and concubine is a loss of personal morality. Once this happened, Han Jiachang would be disqualified as heir.
Xu Yue said indifferently: "If you faint, you will faint." She began to know that after Zhong Wanting hooked up with Han Jiachang, she felt aggrieved for Zhong Minxiu. He even told her about it secretly. In the end, Zhong Minxiu said that she was overthinking and that she believed in Zhong Wanting.
Xu Yue later found out that she had underestimated Zhong Minxiu, the elder sister-in-law, and she had known about it for a long time, but she didn't say anything. As for what Zhong Minxiu was plotting, she didn't bother to delve into it. She only needs to take care of herself and her children, and wait for her husband to come back. The rest has nothing to do with her.
