Chapter 2

Mrs. He only felt the burning on her face. She looked at the gift prepared by her daughter for her eldest granddaughter, and then at the things her third daughter-in-law gave her granddaughter. The second wife was used to getting close to Mrs. He, so she said hesitantly, "Three Brother and sister, this is too much, could it be that you hate my sister-in-law for not sending congratulatory gifts in time? But didn't sister Nuan explain the situation when she came?"

"She must not believe it. Ying'er was at odds with her before she got married." Mrs. He's heart ached when she thought of her daughter. It's not like Ying Er, Ying Er has a gentle temper..."

The words were not finished, but the second lady already understood what Mrs. He meant. Although Mrs. He was her aunt, the second lady didn't agree with Mrs. He's meaning in her heart. Could it be that Tang Nuan should have swallowed this loss?It's not a poor family who came to seek refuge, and no matter how hard she tried, no one would be able to stand out. The three generations of the Tang family are just such a girl. Although she lived in He's house, she paid a lot of money when she came, and prepared gifts for her family members. , it should be tougher.

"I think it's because Miss Nuan is young." Although the second lady thinks that Tang Nuan did nothing wrong, she wouldn't say that. After all, she married a concubine from the He family, and she didn't have much money and power in her hands, so she naturally wanted to curry favor with the old lady. Mrs.

Mrs. He nodded after thinking for a while and said, "That's right, I would like to teach you more in the future. At the beginning, I said that I would bring Sister Nuan over to a place like Nanling. Forget it. After all, it was Liu who did it this time." That's not right, Fu Cui, go get that set of gold..." Mrs. He originally wanted to give Tang Nuan the set of twisted gold jewelry, but suddenly remembered that the two maids around Tang Nuan were wearing them on their ears and wrists. Suddenly, I felt that that set was a bit out of hand, "Find out the purple jade exquisite set and the white jade ringing bell set, and give them to Sister Nuan together with four pieces of Shu brocade in light yellow, water color, bright red, and lotus color."

The second lady didn't make a sound at the side, this year the He family only got twelve bolts of Shu brocade, except for the four that were given to the eldest girl, the other two girls only had one piece for each of them, and the remaining six pieces were all from Mrs. He's place, now let's see I gave Tang Nuan four pieces, not to mention that the Shu brocade was the two sets of jewellery. Back then, the third younger brother and sister mentioned many times that they wanted to give it to the eldest girl as a dowry, but my aunt didn’t agree. Now they all gave it to Tang Nuan. The siblings knew it was time to make trouble again.

Back in the courtyard, Mother Li poured brown sugar and ginger water for Tang Nuan. She ate a lot of freshwater fish today. These things are cold in nature. Tang Nuan hasn't had menarche yet, so she should pay extra attention.

Tang Nuan frowned, obviously showing some reluctance, but she also knew that Mama Li was doing it for her own good. After a little tasting, the temperature was just right, and Tang Nuan drank it all in one gulp. Lan Xi hurriedly brought warm water to Tang Nuan. Warm mouthwash.

Lan Le brought candied fruit, Tang Nuan pinched one and put it in her mouth and felt better, then Mother Li asked, "Miss, do you think the old lady will reprimand the third lady?"

Tang Nuan thought for a while and shook her head and said, "It's impossible to reprimand, I'm afraid it will be beaten at most."

Lan Xi obviously felt sorry for Tang Nuan and said, "My wife is also the old lady's daughter, how could the old lady be so partial."

Tang Nuan didn't care, people's hearts are biased, and she was not raised by the old lady, but after a few days in the He Mansion, the old lady can care about her more, not to mention that the He Mansion let this confused third wife housekeeper Explains many things.

Mama Li glared at Lan Xi and scolded, "I'm not at home now."

Lan Xi was most afraid of Mama Li, she lowered her head and whispered, "Mama Li, I know I was wrong."

Only then did Mama Li's expression soften, and she said softly, "Be more careful in the future, and don't make trouble for the girl."

Lan Xi nodded quickly, Tang Nuan saw that Madam Li had finished speaking, and just as she was about to speak, the little girl came back to report that Fu Cui, who was beside Mrs. He, had come.

Fu Cui has nothing else to do, but to send the Sichuan brocade to Tang Nuan, "Lan Le will send Fu Cui, and the Poria Cake from the kitchen will be packed for her."

"Yes." Lan Le is a little younger than Fu Cui, and she can follow Tang Nuan's side no matter what she eats and uses, and she can also practice calligraphy. There is still a gap between the maid next to her and Lan Le, "Sister, go this way."

Fu Cui responded with a smile, and her attitude towards Lan Le was also very close. After all, the two of them had no stake in each other, and they also knew the old lady's attitude towards Tang Nuan, "Sister is really lucky."

Lan Le said with a smile, "I think so too, the girl is the most kind, and she is not a fussy one." As she said that, she looked at the pair of golden beads stuffed into Fu Cui's hands.

Fu Cui was surprised to see that no one was paying attention, so she put it away and said casually, "The old lady likes juniors the most, especially if the second young master doesn't see the second young master for a day, I'm afraid it won't be a good meal."

Lan Le's eyes flickered and said, "I think the second young master is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, why haven't you met the eldest young master?"

"The young master is in Songyu Academy, and he only comes back once a year." Fu Cui squeezed the golden bead in his sleeve with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "I heard that when the young master was born, the old lady fell ill, which is really dangerous."

Seeing that she had reached the door, Lan Le stopped asking any more questions, and just smiled, "Young lady is new here, and we don't know the rules of the house. If my sister is free, come and teach us more."

Fu Cui nodded with a smile, said a few more words, and left with the Poria Cake.

After Lan Le went back, the things had already been packed. Lan Xi told Tang Nuan what she had asked, and Tang Nuan asked with some doubts, "Could it be that, grandma never waited to see my eldest cousin and even dragged my eldest aunt?"

Mother Li said, "I'm afraid it's really like this. My wife often mentions Mrs. He's house at home. I heard that she is a kind person. This time, the old slave found out that she was the housekeeper of the third lady. I was still puzzled. It's just how these reasons The old lady didn't even mention Madam?"

Tang Nuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be that there are other reasons involved? After all, Fu Cui is not very old, so those may have been heard, so it may not be accurate."

"Anyway, the old lady... the eldest lady is probably having a hard time." Mama Li sighed. The elder of the He Mansion died of illness a few years ago and left the eldest wife and a pair of children behind. Now the eldest young master is sent outside She can only come back once a year after studying, and the eldest lady was deprived of the right to be a housekeeper, leaving only the eldest lady and the second girl, and the third lady is so careless, she doesn't know how to treat them harshly, "Again How can you say that the young master is the eldest son of the mansion."

Tang Nuan shook her head, looking at what the old lady meant, she didn't know who would be the last heir to the He Mansion. This matter is not her business, and she should wait for the elders in the family to come. After all, the He Manor is also an in-law. It's not good for the Tang family to be involved.After all, Tang Nuan is a bit cold-hearted. Although the He family is her maternal ancestral home, she doesn't have any feelings. She won't be sad because of Mrs. He's behavior. It's just the Tang family, but these thoughts cannot be shared with outsiders, not even the mother, because the mother has feelings for He Fu and Mrs. He in her heart.

"Actually, I don't understand. Since my grandmother didn't want to stand up for me, why did she send these things here?" Tang Nuan looked at Mama Li. Mama Li was not her mother's dowry, but after marrying into the Tang family Promoted from the Tang family, Mama Li was the big girl next to her grandmother. After two years of marriage, her husband came out unexpectedly and she had no children. It was inevitable that there would be more gossip in the husband's family, so Mama Li asked her grandmother again. In the end, she returned to the Tang family, and did not want to remarry, so she devoted herself to serving the Tang family.

Mother Li thought for a while, and said with some hesitation, "The second young master of the He family seems to be only two years older than the girl."

Tang Nuan said, "Yes, I met you on the first day here."

Mother Li sighed in her heart. Although the girl is smart, she is still young. It is normal for some things to be unexpected. Thinking of the secret confession made by the master before departure, Mother Li whispered, "Could it be that the old lady is thinking of kissing and kissing?"

Tang Nuan froze for a moment, wrinkled her nose, "I don't want it."

Mother Li smiled when she saw Tang Nuan's appearance, "Miss, don't be angry, this matter will have to wait for the master and the others to come."

Tang Nuan nodded, "Both my grandfather and my father said that in the future, only I can nod my head." As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes proudly, "I must marry someone who is older than my grandfather, father, and elder brother." good-looking."

"It's difficult." It's not the first time Mama Li heard Tang Nuan say this. When she was in the Tang family, Tang Nuan said so, and her mother, Mrs. He, almost fainted. This is not what a lady said. However, Tang Nuan's grandfather laughed and called Tang Nuan to his side, patted Tang Nuan's head and promised that if he got engaged in the future, Tang Nuan would definitely let Tang Nuan nod himself. Tang Nuan's father also nodded in agreement. It's hard to say anything, so I can only secretly tell my daughter not to mention such a thing in front of outsiders.

Tang Nuan didn't care, she also felt that no one could compare to her family members, so she smiled and said, "Father won't agree anyway, but mother...forget it, just leave it to father."

Mother Li responded with a smile.

The second lady in Xiahui Courtyard has already told her husband about the matter, "I don't know what my siblings think, but my sister-in-law is really generous, and I will give away a few thousand taels of things."

The second master He Fan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not just because of the gift."

The second wife, Mrs. Hu, looked at the second master suspiciously, and asked, "Sister Nuan has just arrived, is there nothing else to do?" At the end, Mrs. Hu also hesitated.

The second master stretched out his hand to hold his wife's hand, "I think the younger siblings disagree with the old lady's idea, but they dare not refute the old lady, so they naturally go to abuse sister Nuan." Seeing that his wife didn't understand, he explained, "Brother Zheng She is about the same age as Sister Nuan."

"Oh, it would be great if Brother Yu was older." The second lady said with some annoyance. Brother Yu is the only son of their husband and wife, and he is only six years old now.

"Don't think about it." The second master poked his wife's head, "My brother-in-law is a man of success." There was only such a girl in the three generations of the Tang family. Yes, besides, he is a bastard... Let alone his son, even his third brother's precious son, even the Tang family would look down on him.
