Madam Hou

Chapter 58

When the carriage arrived at Weibei Hou's Mansion, Yinniang jumped out of the carriage holding Qingteng's hand. Jiang's second young mistress, Jiang Shi, greeted her at the door, and Yinniang saluted her.Mrs. Jiang took her hand and said with a smile: "We are all from our own family, why should we be so polite, come in first." Then he led her into the Chuhuamen, and said as he walked: "My mother-in-law has entered the palace. Let me take you to Yutongyuan to see Sister Yun first, and it happens that you can talk to Sister Yun, so you can help me persuade her."

Yin Niang asked worriedly: "How is sister Yun these days?" Judging from Jiang's tone, it seemed that sister Yun was not doing well.

Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang shook her head, sighed, and said: "How can it be good? She is the only girl in the family. Sister Yun has always been pampered and grown up. She has never been wronged like this. At first, she was still able to cry. Crying that the young master of the Wang family was designed. Since the young master of the Wang family got married, he has stopped crying. He shut himself in the yard all day, and he is not as lively and laughing as before. The mother-in-law and father-in-law at home are very worried. No. A while ago, my mother-in-law wanted to tell Sister Yun about their marriage. The man was the second son of Princess Ningyang. She loves her, but Sister Yun is unwilling, saying that if she is forced to marry, she will twist her hair and become a sister-in-law."

Just as they were talking, the rough envoy of the mansion brought the green oil car that was walking in the backyard, and Yin Niang and Jiang Shi got into the car together.The car went around for half a cup of tea, and then stopped in front of the gate of Yutong Garden.

Yin Niang and Jiang Shi got out of the car together, and they entered the courtyard together.Several sycamore trees were planted in the Yutong Garden. It was spring, and the sycamore trees were covered with white flowers. When the majestic wind blew, a few white petals fell down, and a layer of white flowers was sparsely spread on the ground. .

A brazier was placed in the middle of the yard, and a fire was lit inside, and a few unburned scrolls could still be seen beside the brazier.Sister Yun's maids, Yu'er and Xue'er, were coming out of it with a bunch of things in their arms, and it looked like they were going to take them out and put them in the brazier to burn.Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang frowned, and asked Yu'er and Xue'er, "What are you doing?"

Yu'er, who was walking in front, looked at the scrolls, purse, handkerchiefs and other things she was holding in her arms, and then raised her head and said to Jiang: "Back to Second Young Mistress, these are all given to Miss Qin by Miss Qin before." Things, the lady said she didn't want to see them any more and would burn them."

Jiang Shi sighed helplessly, then nodded to show that she knew, and said to Yu'er and Xue'er: "Go, that's good, so I won't be sad."

Yu'er and Xue'er blessed Fuli, then walked over, while Jiang Shi led Yin Niang and continued to enter the inner room door.

When Mrs. Jiang and Yinniang came in, Sister Yun was crouching inside a wooden box, seriously searching for something in it, not even knowing they came in.It wasn't until Jiang shi called Sister Yun that she realized that it was them when she turned her head and stood up, wiping the dust off her face with her hands.Then he said: "Sister-in-law, Yiniang, it's you who are here."

In the past, whenever Yinniang saw Sister Yun, she was always happy, like a sunflower blooming towards the sun, even her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, making people who saw her feel comfortable, even if it was When you are in a bad mood, seeing her can also make you feel a little better.But this time when Yinniang saw Sister Yun, she no longer saw that lively smile on her face, instead, there was a gloomy look between her eyebrows and eyes.

After Mrs. Jiang brought Yinniang in, she said a few words to Sister Yun to comfort her, and left the space for Yinniang and Sister Yun.

After Mrs. Jiang left, Yinniang and Sister Yun sat on the kang against the wall, and the maids moved the table on the kang away.Sister Yun held Yinniang's hand, as if she had finally found a vent, and asked with tears, "Yinniang, am I really stupid? My mother used to always tell me that Nuan is not a good person. I don't want to meet her, but I don't believe it, and I still contradict my mother, arguing and insisting on going out to meet her."

Yin Niang sympathized with Sister Yun's experience, but she really didn't have experience in comforting others, so she didn't know how to comfort her, so she took a handkerchief to help her wipe away her tears, and then held her hand tightly.

And Sister Yun doesn't seem to want others to comfort her, she just wants someone to listen to her, sobbing and continuing: "She designed Brother Qing, so Brother Qing will not betray me, Brother Qing He said that he likes me the most, and he also promised me that when we get married, he will be like my father and never take concubines... But, sister Nuan, how could she treat me so badly, we are the best sisters We grew up together, and I told her everything. When she was bullied by Danping County Lord, I helped her take laxatives in Danping County Lord's tea to avenge her, but now, she Robbed my brother Qing, she, how could she be so bad!"

Yinniang continued to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, and after wiping, she knelt up straight and hugged Sister Yun, patted her on the back and comforted her: "Don't be sad, it's not your fault."

Sister Yun leaned on Yinniang's shoulder, and continued: "I remembered, you reminded me before that Sister Nuan and Brother Qing should not meet. I was stupid and didn't understand what you said."

Yinniang continued to pat her on the back to comfort her, and after a long wait, sister Yun's crying gradually stopped.Maybe it was because she was tired from crying, or maybe it was because she relaxed after talking to her, Sister Yun quickly fell asleep leaning against her.Yinniang signaled to Yu'er and Xue'er, helped Sister Yun to the bed, and took the quilt to cover her body.

When Yinniang came out from Yutong Garden, it was almost noon.Mrs. Jiang kept her meal and asked someone to invite her to eat in the front yard.After lunch, Yin Niang was about to go home, and Mrs. Jiang escorted her to the door.

Yin Niang bid farewell to Jiang's blessing, and when she was about to get into the car, she happened to meet Jiang Hong, the famous Marquis of Weibei who promised never to take concubines for his stepwife, who was riding back from outside.Marquis of Weibei has been the commander of the Royal Palace Guards for several generations, perhaps because of his relationship with soldiers, Marquis of Weibei is a bit serious.After getting off the horse, he saw Yin Niang and asked the daughter-in-law next to him, "This is Concubine Chen's younger sister, the second young lady of the Chen family."

Mrs. Jiang went to salute Marquis Weibei, and then said with a smile: "It's exactly right to talk to my father-in-law. Second Miss Chen and Sister Yun are able to talk, and I'm here to visit Sister Yun today."

Yinniang went forward and bowed to Marquis Weibei: "Yinniang has seen Lord Hou."

Weibeihou said gently: "Get up. Sister Yun is in a bad mood recently, come and accompany her when you have time." Speaking of Sister Yun, Weibeihou showed a rare gentle expression, and it was obvious that he It's the daughter-in-law who really loves her.

Yinniang said she was right.

After all, men and women are different, Wei Beihou nodded after hearing Yinniang's answer, and then walked into the mansion.Yin Niang got into the carriage and prepared to go back to Yongning Hou Mansion.

The carriage drove all the way on the flat road, and Yin Niang was thinking about Sister Yun all the way in the carriage.My childhood playmate, my childhood sweetheart, was about to get married when I grew up, but because of a calculation, the person I love got married, but the bride was not my tragedy. This cannot but be regrettable.

When Yinniang was sighing her [-]th breath since today because of Sister Yun's affairs, Qing Hua, who was sitting in the carriage and opened a small gap in the curtain and had been looking out, suddenly turned her head and said to Yinniang: : "Miss, it seems that someone has been following us. He has been following us since we came out of Weibei Hou Mansion."

"Who will follow us?" In broad daylight, with so many guards at the Son of Heaven's feet, Yin Niang was not afraid of being robbed.

Qing Hua opened the curtain again, and continued to look outside from the inside, after a while, she turned her head and said to Yin Niang: "It seems to be the third son of the Wang family."

It was him!It should be that he hid outside Weibeihou's mansion from the beginning, and decided to follow them when he saw them coming out of Weibeihou's mansion.Yin Niang lowered her head and pondered for a while, then said to Qing Teng who was sitting next to her: "When you get to a remote place ahead, you can ask the carriage to stop."

The carriage continued to drive for a while, and stopped when it reached a remote section of the road. Qing Hua Qing Teng went down first, and then helped Yin Niang down.An elm tree grew beside the road, and Yin Niang walked under the big tree.

No matter how stupid Wang Qing was, he knew that Yinniang was stopping to wait for him, so he hurried forward.When she walked in front of him, as if she was organizing her words, Yin Niang waited for a long time before he spoke: "I think you came out from Weibei Hou Mansion, are you going to see Sister Yun? She... Is she okay?"

People say that there are four joys in life, among which the bridal chamber wedding is the most.But from this prince of the Wang family, Yin Niang could not see the joy of his wedding.Wearing blue clothes, he is still a humble young master, but he is not at all as bright as when he was talking with sister Yun at Yingyuetai that day, but he is full of melancholy. color.

Yinniang lowered her head and thought for a moment, then replied: "Not too good. When I went to see her, she asked the servant girl to carry the things that Miss Qin's family gave her and go out to burn them. She cried for me again, and she kept talking about Miss Qin's family. It's a bad guy, Brother Qing was designed by her. I heard from Second Young Mistress Jiang that Mrs. Jiang is planning to re-engage her, and I heard that the man is the second son of Princess Ningyang."

The face of the person in front showed a tangled look, as if distressed, painful, and regretful.After a long while, he opened his mouth in a low voice: "Then..." But after saying that word, he really didn't know what to say, or whether he was qualified to ask something.

Before he could think clearly and continue to speak the next words, a green-glazed canopy carriage suddenly came far away on the road, and the sound of the carriage was getting closer and closer, and it didn't stop until it was not far from them.Yin Niang and Wang Qing turned their heads away, and saw Qin Nuan get off the carriage holding the maid's hand.

She is already dressed as a woman, combing her hair in a bun, perhaps because she is still newly married, she is wearing a red double-breasted gown embroidered with peony flowers.After getting off the carriage, he walked slowly to Wang Qing's side, saluted, and said, "Master, I'll take you home."

Wang Qing frowned, but did not respond to her.She cupped her hands and saluted Yin Niang: "Second Miss Chen, I'm bothering you today, so I'll take my leave first." After speaking, he ignored Qin Nuan and didn't get into the carriage, but walked in the opposite direction.

Qin Nuan looked at the gradually walking away figure with a gloomy expression.Yin Niang turned around and wanted to get into the carriage and leave, but Qin Nuan's voice suddenly came over: "Do you all think I'm a bad person?"

Yin Niang didn't want to talk to her at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she still replied: "It's hard to define the standard of a good person and a bad person. To be a human being, you must have a clear conscience. I hope that one day in the future, you will not regret what you have done. Things." After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage directly.

After the carriage went away, Yin Niang opened a corner of the curtain to look out, and saw that the third young mistress of the Wang family was still standing where she was just now, looking at the direction in which the young master of the Wang family was going.The spring breeze blew up the hem of her clothes, making her look even more lonely.
