Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 111
Zhao family.

Mrs. Huang, the housewife of the Zhao family, pressed her temples with her fingertips a little irritably.

On the small table next to her, there are teacups and refreshments for guests.

Mrs. Zhu from the third room just left not long ago.The tea was cold, but Huang didn't ask the servant girl to take the tea away.

Seeing her pressing acupuncture points irritably, the maid asked cautiously: "Madam..."

Huang's eyes were closed, and she became more and more impetuous: "You step back."

The maids went down cautiously, and the room returned to silence.

Someone came in gently, and gently pressed Huang's temples with cold fingers.

Huang's eyes were still closed, but she said with a smile: "You little girl, you are so quiet."

It was Zhao Jinhua who came.

She skillfully pressed the acupuncture points for A Niang, and her eyes fell on the refreshments that had not been withdrawn: "The third aunt is easy to calculate." Because she will marry far away next month, the Huang family is reluctant to part with her daughter, so she let her second daughter sleep with her .Just now when Mrs. Zhu came, Zhao Jinhua was counting the honors given to him by A Niang in the inner room.

Huang still closed her eyes: "I understand her."

Both are the daughters-in-law of the Zhao family, Wu shi monopolizes her husband's love, but she and Zhu shi cry secretly every night.Now when it comes to their children's marriage, Zhu's selfishness is understandable.

What's more, the fourth girl, Zhao Jinyi, has always been the father's favorite.She and Mrs. Zhu are both mortals, so it is impossible to say that they are not jealous.

But she thought differently from Zhu Shi.She thinks farther than Zhu's.

Mrs. Zhu wanted to marry her niece to a craftsman, but she... wanted Zhao Jinyi to honor her ancestors.In the future, as long as Zhao Jinyi enters the palace, with her heart like a hive, she will definitely be able to fight a bloody path in the harem.

There has never been a noble empress in the ancestors of the Zhao family.

If Zhao Jinyi is sent to the palace, she will not be afraid no matter how much the male heir of the Zhao family will not be able to support the wall in the future.

When Zhao Jinhua heard this, he couldn't believe it: "Auntie..." Aunt actually said that she understood Third Aunt!Wouldn't that also agree with Third Aunt's idea? !

The fourth younger sister is actually going to marry an official who was born as a small craftsman... Although Song Langzhong's appearance is fairly decent, and he is reckless when saving people, but in Zhao Jinhua's eyes, Song Jingxing is a vulgar craftsman.If you marry such a person, wouldn't it be like watching chickens dance every day, sitting unkempt and eating among a pile of tools?Song Langzhong's family, maybe there is room for the makeup box?
Third Aunt, you are really in a bad mood!Obviously the fourth younger sister helped the third younger sister so that she would not be a concubine...

Huang finally opened her eyes and glanced at her daughter: "I don't have the bad intentions of your third aunt."

None of her daughters had brains like Zhao Jinyi.If Zhao Jinhua is sent to the palace, he probably won't survive three months.That's why she chose such a marriage for her second daughter.Others may secretly say that she is stupid, but she is the only one who can avoid it. The future second son-in-law was sent to the carriage by the housekeeper of the Ministry of Rites with a smile.

She happened to be nearby that day and saw with her own eyes that the housekeeper of the Minister of Rites was respectful and courteous to the second son-in-law.

Mrs. Huang has been the mistress of the Zhao family for many years, so she is not a fool.

Zhao Jinhua said happily: "I just save my mother, unlike my third aunt..."

Huang waved her hand to signal her daughter not to press it again.She slowly sipped her tea: "Aniang thinks, let your fourth younger sister go into the palace."

Zhao Jinhua opened his mouth in astonishment.Enter, enter the palace?Although she is the youngest daughter of an official's family, she always feels that the imperial palace is far away from them.

Huang didn't explain to her at all: "If you want the Zhao family to live well, don't say anything to your fourth sister."

Zhao Jinhua stammered: "Yes, but the fourth sister doesn't have that kind of intention..." The Zhao family sisters all just want to find an ordinary person to marry and live an ordinary and peaceful life.

A Niang, worse than Third Aunt!
Zhao Jinhua was taken aback by the thought in his head, subconsciously covered his mouth, and looked at the place where Motuan was lying in a panic: "Mother, why don't you see Motuan today?"

The ink ball was born as a snow-white ball, except for a little black on the forehead, but A Niang insisted on naming it Mo Tuan.

The ink ball was given by my father, and my mother didn't like it, but she kept the ink ball in the house and rubbed it every day.

It really is.The usual white ball is gone.

Mrs. Huang straightened up and called the maid who usually took care of Motuan: "Qiu Ling, Qiu Ling."

But another servant girl, Qiu Ye, came in with her head bowed: "Ma'am, I haven't seen Qiu Ling since the afternoon ringing."

Zhao Jinhua said: "Could it be that Mo Tuan is not good, and Qiu Ling dare not show her face."

She came here only in the evening, and today she spent the whole day packing up the dowry in her yard.

Huang said indifferently: "This little hoof, if she doesn't report her knowledge, are you still afraid that I will beat her? Mo Tuan is just a beast, if it's not good, it's bad, and there are even those who don't dare to show their faces. You go and look for it. It's late at night, and it's time to rest."

Qiu Ye got orders and went with the other two.

Huang took the small key and opened the small box at the bottom of the box: "You will leave the cabinet next month, and Auntie can no longer be by your side to protect you. Lingnan is so far away, and the only one who can help you is this .”

She took out a roll of yellowed silk from the small box and handed it to her daughter.

Before the eldest sister got married, she lived in the same yard with her younger sister, so she had secretly told her about the teachings of her mother before marriage.

Zhao Jinhua looked at Juanbo, and his ears turned red: "Mother..."

Huang looked at her a little strangely: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Jinhua unfolded the brocade with a blush and a heartbeat, and what was about to catch his eyes was a scene that made people blush and heartbeat, but unexpectedly, it was a few powerful characters "Women should strive for self-improvement".

Uh?Unlike what he expected, Zhao Jinhua was a little dumbfounded.

Huang's words are earnest: "Since ancient times, most men have been unreliable. Of course, if the future son-in-law is good, Madam can rest assured. But if the son-in-law is bad, my son, no matter what, you must remember , you must not seek death and be ridiculed by others, but live stronger and stronger. This beautiful silk was passed down from your grandmother to A Niang. Before your sister got married, I forgot to pass this beautiful silk to her. Now you are going to get married, money and wealth are things outside of your body, no matter how much A Niang gives you, if your will is not firm, even if you have thousands of dollars, you will not be able to protect you."

Zhao Jinhua burst into tears.

Auntie, she is talking about herself.My father is a playboy. After all these years, he still insisted on letting go, and made Auntie shed tears.

Although A Niang is the eldest housewife of the Zhao family and is in charge of the Zhao family's midwife, Zhao Jinhua heard with his own ears the servants in the other house muttering that this man is not by his side, and that he guards the empty room day and night, so he has a lot of free time to come. Let's settle the accounts.

She straightened her waist and wiped away her tears: "Aniang, the child will live a good life after listening to you."

Mrs. Huang locked the box, glanced at the clock leak, and said: "It's late at night, wash and rest early, get up early tomorrow, and I have to teach you how to do housework."

Zhao Jinhua held the Juanbo, hummed, and was about to go to the inner room when Qiu Ye rushed in in a panic, her face pale and her lips trembling: "Madam, Madam, it's not good, Qiuling, Qiuling, she , she's gone!"

The juanbo in Zhao Jinhua's hand almost fell to the ground.

When Manager Hu arrived, the body of the servant girl Qiu Ling had already been covered with a white cloth and was parked in a side room in the backyard of the big house.

Sitting in the flower hall, Huang's face was pale.

Hu Guan came to see Huang in advance.

Looking at Guanshi Hu, whose beard and hair were all grey, Huang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak.

Manager Hu is a fine person, so he couldn't see that there was something wrong with Huang's expression.He stepped into the side room, the servant lifted the white cloth, and Guanshi Hu frowned.

On Qiu Ling's lower abdomen, there was a terrible blood hole.
