Ordinary clear day

Chapter 211 Indifferent
Shu Ning was stunned, and couldn't help frowning: "Why did the eldest aunt say that? Of course it's okay to pick up the second sister, but the elder brother, the second brother, and the sisters-in-law are all there, why do you ask me? Or... Do you mean to ask?" I send someone there?"

Nala hesitated for a moment, and said: "No... I went to pick it up during the Chinese New Year. Didn't Si Fujin reject it? I'm afraid I will run into a wall again this time... You and their family are relatives anyway, so Si Fujin will still Give you this face."

Shu Ning frowned again, feeling a little angry.what is this?Want to take advantage?But my family and the fourth elder brother are not close on the surface, not to mention that my mother has already told the fourth elder brother that Wanning's matter has nothing to do with her. If I get involved, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of my mother?So she said: "Isn't my aunt sick and confused? If you talk about relatives, isn't my aunt closer to their family? If you really want to count, our rooms are all royal relatives. Could it be that my aunt forgot that we sisters Inside, there is another Wu Fujin?"

Nala's face turned pale, and he lowered his head sadly.Seeing her like this, Shu Ning couldn't continue stabbing people.Mrs. Li next to her was silent, while Mrs. Sitara carefully looked at everyone, and persuaded: "Third Miss, don't worry too much. In fact, Er Niang is also afraid of sending someone to pick up my aunt again, and Sibeile's mansion refuses to accept it." That's all. This...the relatives are also close...the last time the fourth brother got married, didn't the fourth elder brother come to congratulate him? This..."

Shu Ning smiled faintly: "I understand what the second sister-in-law means, but the fourth elder brother is now on an expedition with the holy driver, what is my elder brother going to Sibeile's house for no reason? On the contrary, the eldest brother and the second brother are more upright and compliant? As for I, let alone come to the door. Did my sister-in-law forget that I am engaged? It is already against the rules to run around Fangshan in the capital to take care of the housework. It's not as noble as the second sister, but the rules are still known."

Sitara worked with her these days, and he heard that she was actually angry, so he didn't dare to say any more.The scene calmed down for a while, and finally Shuning saw that Nala's face was pale, and felt a little sorry for her being a difficult mother, so she slowed down and said: "Actually, the last time I failed to pick up someone, it was because my aunt didn't think about it. Where is it?" The married daughter goes back to her mother's house for the New Year? Besides, the royal family is the place with the strictest rules. But this time is different. First, it is the fifth anniversary of the grandfather. Second, the eldest aunt is not well, so she will bring her back to see her Face is also human nature. Today's sages rule the country with filial piety, and Si Fujin will not stop people from doing filial piety. The aunt just sends the housekeeper to talk, or let the two brothers or sister-in-laws come forward to ask. As long as we send people After picking it up, act more rigorously, don’t let people catch anything wrong, and it will be easier to pick up people back in the future.”

Nala was very happy to hear that: "Ah, that's the reason. Let's do it like this! It will definitely work!" Shuning smiled, and then reasoned that she hadn't seen her brother and sister-in-law since she came back, and she was going back to the hospital. But before leaving, I thought of something and asked, "I just heard what my aunt said, do you want to take care of the sacrifice? But when I asked my aunt a few days ago, didn't you say that uncle and uncle You and Ama are not at home, so you just need to do something simple? Have you changed your mind now?"

Mrs. Li lowered her head and coughed lightly, Mrs. Sitara was a little flustered, Mrs. Nala groaned for a while, and then said: "No...there is no male master at home...Brother Qing is still young...or... It's fine if my family sacrifices..."

Shuning got the answer, smiled and left.

When she thought about it afterwards, she just felt very unhappy. At first she had some sympathy for Dafang's misfortune, but now it seems that Auntie Nala's behavior has not changed much.Forget it, anyway, she promised her mother long ago that she would not meddle in Wanning's business anymore, as long as she did her own business well.

The next day, Nala sent his second daughter-in-law, Xi Tara, as a representative, accompanied by Mrs. Wu Xinda, and picked two eloquent daughters-in-law to accompany him, and went to Sibeile Mansion.Sifu Jin Yumin readily agreed to their request, but said that they would send people from Baylor Mansion to serve them.Xi Tara quickly agreed, and followed the servants to see Wanning.

Before leaving, Wanning wanted to bid farewell to Yumin according to the rules, but she seemed to be not very polite to Yumin, and what she said was a little too much.Xi Tara was afraid that Yu Min would blame her, so she helped to say a lot of good things. Fortunately, Yu Min didn't care much and didn't blame her.

But on the way back, Wanning complained that the second sister-in-law was too servile and had lost her face.Sitara felt full of grievances, and after a while said: "Since ancient times, there has been a difference between concubine and concubine. I was afraid that my aunt would offend the main family, so I helped to say so many good things. Why did I offend my aunt? I don't understand the reasoning."

Wanning is not quite used to being called "Grandma", so she was taken aback before she said, "Don't you embarrass me if you flatter her like this in front of her? She thought our family was all sycophants. Don't think she is really so magnanimous, In fact, my heart is very vicious, and I don’t care about my past friendship, and I always make things difficult for me. No matter how you please her, you won’t get any benefits.”

Shi Tara was choked, and simply turned her head and ignored her.Because Wanning had been trapped for a long time and it was difficult to go out, she took the opportunity to lift the curtains of the car to see the excitement outside, but she sent someone to talk to the nanny who came several times before she gave up.

Back at Tatara Mansion, Wanning visited her mother, and seeing her sick, she asked, "Didn't you say she was well? Why are you sick again? Is it because you are worried about me?" Li, who was sitting on the side, asked. Shi said indifferently: "Since Ama went to war, Erniang has been in a bad mood. She seems to be worried about Ama's safety on the front line."

After hearing this, Wanning said: "That's right, no one told me the day when the army set off, but after I left for a long time, I finally got the letter. Hmph, it's all those women who are playing tricks!" She sighed: "I don't know where Amma is now? I haven't seen a war before, I really want to go and see."

Nala's hands trembled, Li gave Wanning a sideways glance, and Xitara smiled cautiously: "Grandma is talking nonsense again, soldiers are a major issue for the country, how can we wives go to the battlefield?" Wanning said : "Who says women can't go to the battlefield? Hua Mulan, Liang Hongyu, aren't these all heroines among women?"

Mrs. Li twitched her lips: "It is indeed a hero among women. The second aunt is really promising now, and she actually looks up to these heroines. I wonder if she has acquired extraordinary martial arts and wants to take the place of her father?"

Wanning realized that something was wrong, she glared at Li Shi and said, "Where did I offend my sister-in-law? Why do you have to confront me with every word you say?" Li Shi just said indifferently: "Why? I just have something to say Let’s be honest, it’s not about you.”

"Stop arguing." Nala stroked her forehead and sighed. She turned around and said to the eldest daughter-in-law: "You have been with me for half a day. You must be tired. Go back to the house and rest. Tonight, your family and brother Shun's family Come all, let's set up two seats in the outside room, and treat it as a welcome for your sister-in-law."

Hearing Li's answer, she turned her head to her daughter and said, "Be careful with what you say. Now you are no different than when you were at home. You have married into the royal family. You must be careful in what you say and do. Don't let people find mistakes, otherwise It must be even more sad in Baylor's house." Wanning was depressed for a while, and bowed her head in silence.

Seeing that the scene was a bit cold, Mrs. Sitara said in a low voice that she would go back to Rongqingtang to be a director.It was only then that Wanning heard that she and Shuning were in charge of housework, and Shuning was in charge.She raised her eyebrows and said with a sneer: "The third aunt is cruel and vicious, don't you know? She actually let her daughter be the housekeeper?! Don't you think that not enough people died in the family last year?!"

Mrs. Li gave her a cold look, then got up and said goodbye.Sitara pleaded guilty with a face of embarrassment, and then left.Seeing her daughter curling her lips and sneering, Nala sighed inwardly, took her hand and asked her about her situation in Sibeile's residence.

With this question, she sighed even more.Wanning has been in the mansion for nearly half a year, and the fourth elder brother has never entered her yard, and only saw it once at the family banquet during the Chinese New Year.Although others didn't say it clearly, it has become a fact that she fell out of favor before she was favored.Wanning also accused Sifu Jin Yumin of disregarding her friendship for many years and always stopping her from getting close to her elder brother, otherwise the situation would have improved a long time ago.

Nala was a little thankful that her daughter had never been wronged in terms of food and clothing, those maids and women, even if they looked down on their daughter, they would not embarrass others in person.But what made her more uncomfortable was that when her daughter wanted to see Xiao Gege, she was stopped by Mrs. Li; other female relatives would not call her daughter when they had a party, as if she was a plague god.

Nala was annoyed in her heart, but when she thought about what her daughter had done, she was discouraged again, so she could only tell her in detail about the world and how to get along with others, hoping that she would be more sensible.It's a pity that Wanning has only been married for a short time, and her spirits are not calm, so no one knows if she can hear her.

Shuning was entertaining the two nuns who followed Wanning back to her mother's house in the front flower hall, serving them with good tea and food, and also tidying up two clean rooms in Wanning's small courtyard for them to stay in.He also listened to all the "rules for women in the mansion to return to their mother's house" they said, and ordered the servants to follow them, which made them very satisfied.

These two nuns were not the ones who took Wanning into the mansion last time, and they spoke kindly.When Shu Ning began to feel impatient and wanted to find an excuse to politely send them back to the house to rest, the two of them looked at each other and asked about Qiao Yun's parents and family, which surprised Shu Ning.

It turned out that the second steward of the inner courtyard of Sibeile Mansion, his wife and these two nuns have been old sisters for decades, and somehow he fell in love with Qiao Yun, thinking that she was stable and good-looking, and wanted her to be a baby for his son. fill house.Her son is 23 years old this year. He is good at writing and smart. Now he works in the study of the fourth elder brother. Since his wife died of dystocia three years ago, he has been single.This person has also seen Qiaoyun before, and it seems like love at first sight.The mother and son thought the marriage was good, but they did not expect to run into a wall with Wanning.

Wanning seems to believe that this is Sifu Jin Yumin's conspiracy, and wants to send away the people around her, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling her, so she insists on refusing to let them go.And Qiaoyun herself is extremely loyal, if the master refuses, of course she won't nod.However, the son of that family suffered from lovesickness, which has even affected his work. If the fourth elder brother was not at home, I am afraid that he would not be able to please him.His parents were in a hurry, so the two nuns wanted to help, they came to ask Qiaoyun's parents what they thought, if the former master Nala and her family agreed, Wanning would not be able to stop her.

One of the nuns also said: "We watched Brother Yu grow up. He is really a good boy. Because he is smart, the master once said that he was released after two years. Whether it's a rich man or a serious family background, there will always be a big future. Sister Qiaoyun is lucky to follow him. What's more, with this kind of relationship, Madam Wan also has a caretaker in the mansion, right? Please invite the girl Help me talk."

Shu Ning was noncommittal, and prevaricated with words, and only after they were dismissed did they ask someone to check the servant booklet.Qiaoyun is a family child, her parents are gone, her brother and sister-in-law are all working in Baoding Zhuangzi.She and Suyunben came to the mansion in the same batch, so they should be about the same age. Suyun is both married, so she is an old lady. If the second steward's son is really good, it would be a good thing.But since Wanning objected, she just kicked the ball to Dafang.

But she still kept an eye out and asked Suxin to find a way to get some information from Yanyun to see what Qiaoyun meant.In the end, Yanyun revealed that Qiaoyun treated the second lady in charge warmly at the beginning, but she had the intention of helping Wanning. Later, when the son came to see her, she also heard that he was working in the fourth elder brother's study, so she half used it and half used it. My daughter's mindful socializing with others caused them to suffer from lovesickness for her.

When the lady in charge came to propose marriage, Qiao Yun was actually willing in her heart.According to the current state of my master Wanning, the possibility of being favored is not high, and my life is not guaranteed. Rather than being randomly matched with a boy in the future, it is better to climb up this family, and maybe I can get rid of the status of a slave in the future and become a master. Master.Moreover, there is a relationship between the second steward of the inner courtyard, and the master can also get some convenience. If he is married, he can continue to serve him as a daughter-in-law.It's a pity that after all her painstaking efforts, she couldn't get Wanning's explanation, and instead she was scolded.She has cried several times behind her back.

Shu Ning knew it well, and when she heard that the eldest room's dinner was over, she went to pay Nala's greetings, but found that Wan Ning was very indifferent to her, more precisely, there was a wave of hostility and contempt.Although she felt a little depressed, she still pretended she didn't see it, and just reported the important things of the day, and brought up the matter of Qiaoyun by the way.

Before Nala made a statement, Wanning had already strongly opposed it, and even accused Shuning of harming her interests in order to curry favor with her future husband's relatives.Shu Ning held back her anger, and just said to Nala: "I heard from those two nuns that that Brother Yu's family has a reputation in the Sibeile Mansion, and his parents are both respectable stewards in the inner courtyard. I am not bad, now I work in the study outside, maybe I can be released in two years to seek a family background. How this marriage is going to happen, I still need my aunt and second sister to make up their minds, so I won't ask any more."

She noticed that when she mentioned Brother Yu's background, Nala's eyes lit up, and she knew that the other party must have an idea in her heart, so she got up and left without saying anything, completely ignoring Wanning who was slapping her teeth and claws beside her.

The next day was the anniversary festival, Tatara Mansion did not invite the clansmen to come, but only a few people from his own house made a sacrifice.Both Fang Ning and Xu Xu sent people to bring things back, and the gifts from Zhang Bao and Tong's husband and wife who were far away in Baoding also arrived before noon that day.Wanning originally said that she would attend, but when she heard that the people from the second room were also here, she refused to leave the courtyard.Upon hearing the news, Xingbao and his wife sneered a few times, Shen frowned, and no one said anything more.

In the end, it was Nala's good-for-nothing, and Wanning went to the hall outside to burn a stick of incense for her grandfather after the relatives left.But she became suspicious again, and felt that although the servants around were not whispering, the expressions of winking and pouting at each other were clearly laughing at herself, and she immediately became furious, "Isn't the third sister in charge of the housekeeper? How can you manage people?" Do you have to be so ignorant of the rules and chew your tongue?!"

The faces of the people around changed drastically, and they hurriedly stood up straight, with a straight face.Wanning looked a little smug, Nala sighed secretly, and asked her daughter to help her back to the room.

At the beginning when Sitara went to pick up Wanning, she agreed to stay for three days, so after the festival, Wanning thought about relaxing for a day.But as soon as she expressed her desire to go out, she was stopped by someone. Not only did the two nuns say it was against the rules, even her mother said something to her.She felt depressed for a while, so she just wandered around the house.But as soon as she left the yard, the two nuns would ask her where she was going; even if she just went to the mother's room, there were several people following her;She couldn't help complaining that the housekeeper was so busy that she couldn't enjoy her freedom at home.So when the time limit came, he simply packed his bags and left.

Shu Ning didn't know that she was the chief culprit in Wan Ning's heart that prevented her from enjoying her freedom at her natal home. She was just staring blankly at Wan Ning's three-day expenses bill at home, but finally approved it.

A few days later, I heard that Qiaoyun's brother and sister-in-law were called back to Beijing by the Nala family, and they got a reward to make a decent dowry for their sister.Shuning knew that Nala finally convinced Wanning.

Nala seems to have tasted the sweetness, and every ten days or so, someone will pick up her daughter and stay home for two days.Shuning only felt that Wanning's cold air towards her was becoming more and more obvious, and Dafang's spending was becoming more and more outrageous.But it was hard for her to say anything, so as not to be misunderstood by Nala for wronging her precious daughter, so after two months as the housekeeper, seeing that Nala's health was getting better and Xi Tara was barely able to deal with it, she sent the housekeeper He handed over the power to Dafang, packed his own luggage, and prepared to go back to Fangshan.

However, her itinerary was blocked again, and Duanning heard some bad rumors in the Ministry of War. It seemed that some disturbing changes had taken place on the front line.
