in spring

Chapter 261
As soon as Chunying said this, the two parties who were arguing endlessly quieted down.Aunt Hua was on the verge of scolding, when she was interrupted suddenly, she said angrily: "Who told me to step aside?! I don't even look at who I am!" The girl was even more angry: "Which onion are you? How dare you call your aunt?!"

Cui Manru didn't know why, and suddenly rushed over and cried: "My good sister, you have to speak for me!" Chunying shuddered, and hurriedly dodged, then heard Aunt Hua scolding: "So you are This little bastard's partner!"

Chunying impatiently entangled with them, and remembering that she was on urgent errands, she said to Aunt Hua, "You don't have to worry too much, Auntie, I'm on an errand in the East Mansion, and I just passed by here today. Our old lady and Fourth Miss There is an urgent matter, and I am ordered to report it to our wife. I have nothing to do with any disputes between the two of you. Please make way for the mothers next to you, and don’t block them all on the door. How do you ask people to go?”

When Aunt Hua heard that she was from the East Mansion, she became less angry, but she also felt that she was the mother of the Young Master and Miss, and was trained by the old lady. Apart from being inferior to the wife of the main house, she was otherwise respectable. It's not bad at all, it's too embarrassing to ask a girl in the East Mansion to give way when she just said so, not to mention that this girl is not in the same group as Cui Manru, a little bitch, so why ask her to give way?If you want to let go, ask others to let go!So he stood there arrogantly with his hips akimbo.The women behind her were about to get out of the way, but when they saw her like this, they thought she would embarrass Chunying, so they didn't move either.

Chunying was a little angry when she saw this, but Cui Manru came back to pester her again: "My good sister, although we quarreled, my mother never offended you? Even if you are angry with me, you should say something fair for my mother. Think I think how much my mother loved you when I was a child!"

Chunying couldn't figure it out, Leng might as well catch a glimpse of a beauty emerging from the group of women behind her, she was surprised at first, and then realized that this beauty was not young, it was Widow Cui whom she hadn't seen for a long time. The skin is already loose, but thanks to the makeup, plus the slender and well-proportioned figure, she can still show some charm, just look at her clothes, it doesn't look like a servant girl's dress, it's not like her old widow's appearance The difference made Chunying murmur in her heart.

In my memory, Widow Cui didn't care much about her, that is, when they met, she would verbally care about her, what's delicious and fun, and never took care of her family members. In addition to Cui Manru's actions over the years, Widow Cui suffered a lot. Enhui from the Lu family didn't persuade her daughter, Chunying didn't have any sympathy for her, and she was obviously idle at home a long time ago, why did she come into the house dressed like this?Then he said coldly: "Didn't Aunt Cui lose her job? It's enough to have a good life at home, and what to do in the mansion again? I'm working in the East Mansion now, and you are all from the Hou Mansion. Even if there is a quarrel, I will Don't care about these nonsense matters. This is the gate to the garden, don't block it here, let people see the joke!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pushed Manru aside: "Get up!" He was about to leave.

Manru cried and hurriedly grabbed her: "Don't go, at least say something for me, the second wife is in charge of the mansion now, and you are from the East mansion, how can you say it's nostalgia? You can take care of it, I can manage it!" Seeing that Chunying ignored her, she simply knelt down and begged: "My good sister, you must help me!" Seeing this, Widow Cui also knelt down.Seeing this, Aunt Hua scolded again: "Where are you mourning?! You must be willing to degrade yourself, degrade yourself, don't embarrass our family!"

Chunying's anger rose. She didn't know why the two groups were arguing, but she really didn't want to interfere now. She caught a glimpse of a group of women and daughters-in-law outside the garden gate poking their heads to watch the fun, so she scolded with a straight face. "Where are the people in charge of the garden?! Are they all dead?! Seeing the trouble here, they don't even come to persuade them. The family knows how to be lazy all day long. If this is the case, why don't you go back to the old lady and the wife and drive them away?" Go, find someone else who can work!"

The surrounding mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law had been watching there just now, and knew that she was from the Dongfu. Now that the wife of the Dongfu is in charge of the Houfu, they all had scruples, so they immediately pushed a representative out and said, "Girl, don't be angry, the two They are all honorable people, how dare we stop them? Even if we persuade them, we won’t be able to persuade them.”

Chunying sneered: "If you can't be persuaded, won't you report it?! There are people who can persuade you! You can gather around here and watch jokes, can you please it?!" After speaking, she shook off Manru's hand, glanced She glanced at her: "Girl, get up quickly, I can't bear it, you mother and daughter can rest assured that you want to cut off my life, but I don't agree!" After saying that, she yelled "Get out of the way!" A big road, let her walk cleanly, no one dared to block, even some timid ones ran to report after discussing with each other.

Manru hated secretly, and hurriedly turned around to help her mother up. Aunt Hua sneered and scolded: "Sure enough, both of you mother and daughter are scumbags! You pretend to be virtuous all day long, but you are actually sluts! The old one is dead. A man has never been short of a good friend for more than ten years! People in their teens are still smeared, who do you want to seduce?! The young ones know how to hook up and sow discord, and they don’t know where the broken shoes are, so they dare to want to climb high branches ..."

Even after Chunying went far away, she could still hear her swear words, and she felt very disapproving.The mother and daughter of the Cui family are certainly not good people, but Aunt Hua is not too strong, and I don't know why they quarreled, blocking traffic on the avenue for no reason!
The place where the second wife, Zhuo's director, is located in a side courtyard inside the second gate, not far from the Wanxiang Hall, Chunying looked for it by a familiar way, and when she entered the gate, she sat in the front seat of the hall, and did not ask anyone to report, so she went He hurriedly walked in and bowed: "Ma'am."

The daughter-in-law who was replying stopped, Zhuo raised her head and looked at her: "Why are you here?" Chun Ying hurriedly walked to her side, stopped and whispered.Zhuo's expression became more serious as he listened, and he lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "What's going on?! Our family has nothing to do with his family..."

Chunying replied in a barely audible voice: "Second Young Mistress and Prince Ke's Mansion are sisters..." Zhuo couldn't help but cast a glance at Yijun who was sitting next to her, and frowned.Chunying thought for a while, and then reminded her in a low voice: "In previous years, during the Shangsi Festival, the young ladies would go for an outing at Prince Jing's mansion outside the city..."

Prince Jing's Mansion is on the same level as Prince Ke's Mansion. As the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, Prince Jing's Mansion is naturally much closer to her natal family than her in-law, Princess Ke. Zhuo's brows relaxed when she heard the words, and she asked Yijun with a smile: "Shangsi Festival?" It's almost here, Prince Jing's Mansion will post a post this year?"

Yijun smiled and said: "Originally it was off, but then the elder sister sent someone to pass the word, saying that she was not feeling well recently, so she canceled this year's outing and asked us to do it ourselves."

Chunying secretly thought it was not good, how could it be such a coincidence?She secretly glanced at Mrs. Zhuo, but the latter did not panic at all: "Concubine Jing is not feeling well? What is the reason? It would be too heartless for us to leave her and go to have fun by ourselves. Why don't we go together on the day of the Shangsi Festival?" Go visit her? Ask your fourth brother and younger sister to go with her. Since I returned to Beijing, I only saw her once, and I should go to ask for her. "

Yijun seemed a little reluctant: "I want to visit my eldest sister, I don't care about any day, why does Auntie have to go on the Shangsi Festival? I'm bored in the house all year round, it's rare to go out one day..."

Zhuo smiled: "You child, don't you think you don't go out very much recently? You want to see your eldest sister, any day is fine, but everyone else went to play that day, except Princess Jing who is not feeling well and needs to rest at home. Isn't it lonely? You sisters should go to accompany me. It is much better to have this sister to take care of you than to please the wives."

Yijun didn't know what to think of, blushed, and lowered his head to respond: "Then do what Auntie wants..."

Zhuo gave Chunying a wink: "Go ahead and tell Miss Fourth that you can start preparing things for going out. Don't miss anything. Although Prince Jing's mansion is her eldest sister's husband's house, it is not comparable to ordinary relatives. Do not neglect."

Chunying understood, bowed her knees, turned to leave, suddenly remembered what happened on the road just now, and said to Yijun: "Second miss, on the way here, I saw Aunt Hua and Miss Cui from the second young master's room There was a quarrel in front of the garden gate, surrounded by many people. Would you like to persuade me? After all, it is a corridor, and it is not good to see."

When Yijun heard this, she became angry: "Then what did Cui Manru do?!" Then she was a little annoyed: "Why is Auntie making trouble again?! I've said it countless times, I want her to be more self-respecting!" Hastily got up to leave, but He stopped suddenly, and the expression on his face changed.

Zhuo was a little strange: "Second girl, what's wrong with you?"

Yijun re-sat down in embarrassment: "I forgot for a moment... How can I take care of this kind of thing? Cuiyu, you take a few people there, and invite Auntie back to the courtyard, just say it's my words." The waiter standing by The big girl was stunned for a moment, and then she responded.

Seeing that she had nothing to do next, Chunying hurriedly passed on the message that it was important, so she hurried out of the house, half-walking and half-running, and hurried back along the original road. Moved a little outside the door, but didn't block the door.

Several housekeepers came, one lightly reprimanded the women behind Aunt Hua, one stared at Widow Cui for interrogation, and the other taught Cui Manru indifferently. Although Aunt Hua was alone, she felt very ashamed. Staring at the onlookers around him, he spoke harsh words.

Chunying didn't want to be stopped again, so she went around to the side of the crowd, and simply and neatly asked a few women to make way, and finally squeezed a way to pass.Manru's face turned black from being scolded, but she caught a glimpse of Chunying passing by, and hurriedly called her, but was discovered by the housekeeper, and she said coldly, "What sister and sister? She is the person in front of the second old lady." , don’t try to get married! If the girl doesn’t want to listen to my ramblings, you might as well tell your mother to go home and stop coming in! Our Hou’s Mansion is not a place where people can enter casually! The girl has a different identity now, it’s not that she wants to go home You can go home, and you can see your mother if you want to see your mother! I really want to see my relatives, so I went back to the second young lady and asked the second young lady to tell the second wife! Otherwise, even if you take your mother in, everyone will be ashamed!"

Cui Manru gritted her teeth secretly, based on the attitude of the second young lady towards her, how could she make her wish come true?Not to mention that the second young mistress also has feelings for the second wife, but she just invited her mother into the mansion to see her, what's the big deal?He said: "I have already answered the second young master, and the second young master also nodded. Although my mother said that she has no errands now, she was also a errand in the mansion in the past. She is not someone with unknown background. Why does mother say that?"

The housekeeper said with a sneer: "So what if the second young master nods? The second young lady has to speak. This is the inner courtyard! Which young master is in charge of the inner courtyard? There are many children in the mansion, so how do you know that everyone is honest? Don't you tell me?" If something is lost in a house, where can we find it?! If something happens, we have to take responsibility for it! The girl should be more calm, don't take yourself too seriously , Do you really think your mother is the wife of your in-laws?!"

Cui Manru was ashamed and angry when she heard the low-pitched ridicule from the people around her, and she felt even more resentful: If Chunying hadn't said something to tell the housekeeper, how could she be humiliated like this? !How could mother be regarded as a thief? !

Cui Manru turned her head to look at Aunt Hua again, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes: both are maids, and the same are concubines, who is more noble than whom?Why did she insult her mother and daughter?Didn't it mean that when mother came in, she met Lord Hou coming out of Yingyue Hall and asked who it was?What's the big deal?She relied on giving birth to the Young Master and Miss, so she dared to show her face. If the Young Master and Miss hate her, then it will be the reward of the world!

Thinking of this, Cui Manru's eyes flashed suddenly, and he pursed his lips tightly.

Chunying rushed back to the Hou's Mansion, the fourth young lady, Yajun, had been waiting a long time ago, and hurriedly came up to her and asked, "What did mother say?" Chunying whispered into her ear, and she relaxed, and called the girl: " Invite people from the palace to come in, and apologize to them, saying that I am using dim sum, so I have neglected you." The maids hurriedly responded.

Chunying turned to the back hall, came out with a washbasin and towel, and stood next to Yajun. Yajun watched the two women from the palace come in, grabbed the towel and wiped it cleverly, and threw it back into the basin , Chunying retreated holding the things.

Taking the invitation from Prince Jing's Mansion and rejecting the invitation from Prince Ke's Mansion would offend people to some extent, but at least the reason was fair enough.The two women waited for a quarter of an hour for this reply, and they were a little annoyed.Chunying had already brought two pairs of purses from the second old lady, both of which were stuffed with heavy golden scorpions.Yajun came to his senses when he saw it, and rewarded the two women with a smile, asking them to "speak kindly" and "make up for her".The two women were short-handed, so they all resigned with smiles.

Yajun breathed a sigh of relief, the second wife Zhuo came back from the Hou Mansion in the afternoon, went to discuss with her mother-in-law for a long time, then called Chunying, smiled and said: "Thanks to your reminder, we were not in Beijing in previous years, Concubine Jing happened to not hold an outing party this year, if you hadn't told me, I still don't know how to reply."

Chunying hurriedly said: "My servant just remembered this matter, let me tell you in vain, the rest of the matter is decided by my wife herself. This servant was panicked when he heard that Princess Jing would not do it this year. Fortunately, my wife thought about it. There is a way. The servant did nothing, so I really dare not take credit for it."

The second old lady smiled and said: "Your wife praised you, you just accept it, what's the point of being modest?" Then she turned to Zhuo and said, "This child is really good, right? You always say you have to see it again."

Zhuo smiled a little embarrassedly, and asked Chunying again: "When you came, you mentioned that your family had already arranged a marriage for you, but I didn't ask at that time, which one did you book? It has already been hired. What? What is your plan for the future?"
