Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 15

It was just dawn, and the lights were lit in Yin Huan's room in Zhuqingyuan. Er Dong waited on Yin Huan to get up, put a small heater in her arms after washing, and muttered, "Miss, it's getting cold so early in the morning. What are you going to do in the small Buddhist hall, I don’t think Granny Li is up yet.”

"How can anyone go to sit early and have a heater." Yin Huan smiled and put the heater on the table, rolled up some face medicine and smeared it on his face, "Today's rest, mother is too late to say goodbye, Er Dong You can pick it up later."

"I haven't seen Miss go to the Buddhist hall before." Er Dong muttered, and ordered An Xia to send Yin Huan there, and he took Xi Qiu to Mama Wang's to discuss making a winter coat for Miss.

Yin Huan watched Er Dong's not-so-tall figure disappear at the door, and sighed, her life was picked, even if she didn't believe it, the reincarnation matter, God didn't see it.

When we arrived at the Small Buddha Hall, Mrs. Li had just woken up. Last night, I played some small cards with some familiar women and drank some wine. I was still dizzy. I woke up from the cold when I got up early in the morning. He and An Xia were at the door and hurried up to greet him.

"Oh, Miss Seven, it's not even dawn yet, you're so early." Yin Huan watched her keep rubbing her hands with a reserved smile, "I'm sorry to trouble Granny Li, but the hour still hasn't changed, it's the late morning A little bit."

"I think it's going to snow today. Alas, I just chatted with Miss Seven and forgot to boil the water. It's a sin..." Mrs. Li slapped her head and hurried back to her residence. She forgot to boil the water, and she really fell asleep.

Yin Huan picked up her skirt and put it into the Buddhist hall. The cold people in the Buddhist hall, who hadn't been there for a long time, were not popular. Maybe Mrs. Li forgot, or maybe no one noticed it at all, and there was no order in the Buddhist hall. A brazier, Yin Huan felt cold after kneeling for a while.

"Miss Seven, it's very cold here, you should go back earlier." Mrs. Li changed the tribute water for the two Buddha statues, put her hands in her sleeve pockets and shivered coldly, seeing that Yin Huan was still kneeling, it was cold The ground is freezing, and if something goes wrong with her kneeling, she still has to take responsibility.

"Grandma Li, there should be braziers in this small Buddhist hall, why didn't you see one?" Yin Huan opened his eyes, looked up at Granny Li with a smile on his face, and Granny Li, who was standing at the door, trembled slightly , I always felt that Miss Seven had a strange look in her eyes, so she smiled embarrassingly, "Miss Seven, you don't know that no one comes to this small Buddhist hall all year round, and Miss Seven often comes here in the second half of the year."

"That's why Granny Li didn't report to the mother in charge. This year, the small Buddhist hall also needs to be divided?" Yin Huan continued her words. No matter how unfavored Gu Yinhuan is, she is also the seventh lady of the Gu family. She will come over on the day of rest and bathing, but Mrs. Li doesn't care too much, because she can't be bullied after seeing her.

"No, no, no, Miss Seven, how dare this old slave, it's just that the cold weather has passed and I haven't seen Miss Seven coming over. I don't think you will come here in winter, Miss Seven, so I didn't mention it to the mother in charge." Gu Fu, the news is also well-informed, which one of the young ladies in the third room can be offended now, if one day turns around and becomes the child of the eldest lady, his own body will not be able to withstand the torment.

"Praying to the Buddha is not a matter of coming when it's cold, but only when it's hot. Granny Li is so much older than Yin Huan, so she should know." Yin Huan said in a flat tone and closed his eyes. An Xia motioned to Granny Li Going out, just when she saw Mrs. Mu standing under the stairs with Siqi, Mrs. Li yelled in her heart that it was not good, and hurried down, "Mrs., why are you here?"

I don't know how long Mrs. Mu and the others have been standing here, but An Xia kowtowed politely, and stood beside the door. Granny Li watched tremblingly, why did the eldest lady even come over in such a cold day.

Mrs. Mu walked up the steps into the small Buddhist hall, frowned as soon as he entered, looked around, found nothing in the corner, and said to Siqi behind him, "Let them fetch some pots of charcoal fire, this It's so cold."

When Mrs. Li at the door heard this, she burst into cold sweat. She didn't know that the eldest lady would come over, and she had been guarding here for several years. Naturally, the charcoal fire was paid for, but she saw that no one came, so she used it and wasted it. I keep it in my house.

As soon as Siqi came out, Mrs. Li held her back, and said with a sneer, "Aunt Siqi, don't go in a hurry, I have it, it doesn't matter if the weather is just getting cold, and it's too late to take it out."

An Xia stood guard outside, only Mu and Yin Huan were left in the Buddhist hall, Yin Huan got up and greeted Mu, "Auntie."

"You are young, what do you often do here." Mrs. Mu went to the altar and lit three sticks of incense, raised his head to pay homage to the Buddha statue a few times, inserted into the incense burner, and looked back at Yin Huan, with no emotion in his expression.

"There were often people in the Great Buddha Hall at that time, and Yin Huan would come here to worship when he saw it was empty, so that the old lady and the others would be healthy."

Seeing her smiling sincerely, Mrs. Mu's expression relaxed a little. This Buddhist hall was still in use when she married in, and it was abandoned in a few years. It's just close to her yard, so I would come over occasionally to have a look.

The two just stood like this, Mrs. Mu didn't make a sound, Yin Huan didn't say anything, they watched quietly until Siqi came back with Granny Li, and several braziers were quickly set up in the Buddhist hall.

It's almost time, Er Dong arrived here with a coat and a heater, stuffed it into Yin Huan's arms, and was startled by her cold hands.

Yin Huan tightened his coat and finally felt warmer. Seeing Mrs. Mu still standing there, she thought for a while and stepped forward to hand the stove to her. A flash of surprise flashed in Mu's eyes, "Yin Huan is going back soon, this stove Just give it to Auntie, the brazier is slow to warm up, Auntie will not catch a cold." After finishing speaking, he left the small Buddhist hall.

Mrs. Mu hugged the heater in a daze, the heat dispelled the chill, and the clarity in the child's eyes made her unable to bear to suspect that this was done on purpose.

"Ma'am." Siqi called out from the side, and Mu turned around to see the three small figures quickly disappear at the gate, "Don't break the warm pot in this small Buddhist hall from now on."

Siqi nodded and said yes, a little surprised. When he looked at the door again, Yin Huan and the others were long gone. She had been serving Madam for so many years. It's not uncommon to receive things from some people, just to say something nice.

But the madam is always indifferent, the old madam also said that the second lady of the third room is smart, the madam didn't agree, she just said wait, now it seems that the madam wants to choose by herself...

Not long after Yin Huan returned to Zhuqing Courtyard, Siqi sent another maid over to bring over the stove and a pot of ginger tea. The ginger tea seemed to be just brewed, and there was a fragrance wafting from it.

"Miss, drink some, it must have been freezing in the small Buddhist hall just now." Er Dong hurriedly poured out a bowl for Yin Huan to hold to warm his hands, while sending the maid out, he met Qian Qian on the way. Gu Yinfang who just came back from the aunt's yard.

Gu Yinfang saw that the people around Er Dong looked familiar. After returning to the house, she asked her maidservants and found out that it turned out to be someone from Da Furen's yard. Before she could sit down, Gu Yinfang went to Gu Yinshuang In the room, as soon as she entered the room, she pulled Gu Yinshuang and said, "Sister, do you know that I just saw Er Dong escorting the maid out of Da Furen's yard."

"What are the maids in Da Furen's yard doing here?" Gu Yinshuang asked the maid to pour hot tea for Gu Yinfang, "Did you read it wrong?"

"How could it be? The last time my sister and I went to the Da Furen's yard, I saw that maid, the second sister, that guy Yin Huan must have used some means." Gu Yinfang stomped her feet angrily, as if the adoptive thing If you have to choose one of yourself and your sister.

Gu Yinshuang's expression gradually became condensed when she heard it. A few days ago, she took Yinfang to the Bauhinia Courtyard, saying that she was visiting the eldest lady. At that time, the eldest lady had just finished her afternoon nap, and she just sat for a while. After picking up two embroidered sets made by myself, it came out, and no maid from the Bauhinia Court came to her.

"Ah Xun, go and find out where Miss Seven has been and who she has met in the past few days." Gu Yinshuang finally asked the maid to check, thought about it, and finally decided to go to Aunt Qian's place.

As for Lan Xin Yuan, Mrs. Fang was also a little surprised after listening to Qing Ya's report. The sister-in-law hadn't expressed her opinion on the adoptive person, so why did she suddenly send someone over, "You mean that Miss Seven has been taking a bath every time since July?" Go to the small Buddhist hall."

"Yes, Qing Ya asked Mrs. Li, she said that every time she rests, Miss Seven goes to sit in the small Buddhist hall to pray for blessings."

"I thought it was all for her to go a few times, but I didn't expect to still go now." Fang was silent for a while, and finally sighed. Aunt Zhou's temper was not so serious, Qing Ya paused and continued, "Aunt Qian even wrote a letter to the master."

"Then it seems that the master is going to come back early this time." Fang smiled lightly, "It's fine if he comes back, I'd like to see how he manages to be the master."

Fang knew what Aunt Qian wanted to do without guessing. She went to her mother's place after getting nothing from her, but how could they be the ones to make the decision? Now it is even more important for the husband to come back and make the decision. The three families still rely on the Gu family For those who live a life, it is difficult to let him have the final say.

"It's going to snow soon, go and tell Mama Li, tell the people below not to be lazy, and sweep out the way when it falls. No one in this yard can fall." Fang stood up and put on his clothes. I took off my coat and walked outside. It was almost noon, but it was still dark, and it was cold when the wind blew...

Sure enough, within five days, Gu Yucheng came back. The first thing he did after he came back was to visit Yang's yard, and then he came to Fang's place. The first thing he said when he sat down was, "This is what I wrote in the letter." Isn't it very clear, why do you think there are better people?"

"Master, did you hear someone say that I have a better candidate here." Fang cast a slight glance at him, looked down at the account book in her hand and ignored it.

Gu Yucheng coughed in embarrassment, looked at the maids present, and waited for them to go out, then took Fang's hand, "I'm not at home, so I don't know everything."

Fang gently pushed away Gu Yucheng's hand and looked at him with a touch of injury in his eyes, "Master went to mother's yard as soon as he came back, and then he came here to blame me. Is it true that you don't know everything?"

"Of course not. It's just that it's been a few days. Since you wrote to me, have you nothing to say?" Gu Yucheng came back in a hurry after receiving Aunt Qian's letter. During these days in Hui'an City, he has seen clearly that the Mu family has a great reputation in Hui'an City. If his child is adopted by his sister-in-law, he will be able to receive some favors from the Mu family in the officialdom. .

"After the old lady mentioned it, my sister-in-law didn't say anything, she just said to have a look first." Fang gave him an annoyed look, "What's the use of being in a hurry, others thought you were in a hurry to send your daughter there!"

Gu Yucheng was stunned, and then his face was sullen, "You mother, why don't you take a few children to walk around with your sister-in-law more, I know you don't like Aunt Qian, but why is this Yinshuang My eldest daughter is cute and sensible, and my sister-in-law will definitely like it."

Qingya outside the house only heard Fang suddenly call out the master's full name, and then there was no sound...
