Chapter 37 (1/2)
Over the past few days, the atmosphere of going to the room has been very heavy. Since the old lady came back from the garden, she has been gloomy and has to speak to her carefully. The maids dare not breathe. They serve the old lady carefully, and they have to stand on tiptoe.
The old lady is angry that her father made up her mind to lead her to the garden to meet with Guo's aunt and sister-in-law! Although my father had been explaining to the old lady that day, he didn't know that Mrs. Guo was also in the garden, but the old lady didn't want to calm down. My father seemed to give up trying to please the old lady. He didn't see anyone in the past two days.
The big eyes of Suixi once again glanced at the old lady who was slumbering on the soft couch. She put the white silk in her hands into the embroidery basket, jumped off the round stool, and moved a thin quilt with red peony embroidered with gold silk on the Kang bed, and walked to the soft couch with some difficulty.
When Tris saw this, she wanted to help her. Suixi gave her a quick wink and told her to walk carefully. She nodded with a smile and came to help Suixi cover the old lady with the quilt.
The old lady immediately opened her eyes. Her eyes were so clear that she didn't seem to be asleep.
”The girl saw you close your eyes and immediately went to move the mattress.” Tris explained with a smile and put the big pillow behind the old lady.
”It's cold. Grandmother has to hold the quilt.” She lies on the edge of the soft couch with a smile.
The old lady's face showed a gentle smile, ”darling, I already know how to care about my grandmother.”
She said with a smile, ”of course, I should care about my grandmother. My grandmother should laugh more, so that I can be happy.”
The old lady touched her head pitifully and sighed, ”you are still a child. I don't know what grandmother is worried about.”
Uncle Guan was so fascinated by Guo Jingjun that he lost his mind. Since ancient times, concubines are like business. After signing a contract, they have nothing to do with each other. If they are good concubines, they should give betrothal gifts. However, if they come from his mother's house, they should first greet their mother. Only with the consent of the mistress, can the concubine come out to see his family.
No concubine's family members dare to claim to be in laws!
What she was afraid of was that the wife would not become a wife, and the concubine would not become a concubine, which would cause gossips. Finally, she would fall into a bad reputation. Not only would the eldest son have no future, but also the youngest son would be affected.
The woman Guo Jingjun must not be allowed to destroy this family.
”Grandmother is not worried. Would you like to fold the flowers for you? The osmanthus is so fragrant today.” He pulled the sleeve of the old lady and whispered.
The old lady came back to her mind, and her cold face softened her face. ”No, go and show me the orchids you embroidered in the morning.”
After hesitating for a while, she went to the embroidery basket to take the white silk which she had been embroidering for a long time. There was one on it Like flower embroidery, she twisted to give the white silk to the old lady, ”grandmother, this orchid did not open well.”
”It's called orchid not blooming well?” The old lady laughed and pointed to the embroidery of orchid or onion. ”Did you embroider this thing in a morning?”
She scratched her forehead with pleasure. In fact, she was absent-minded. When she found out what she had embroidered, it was too late to tear it down. ”It's the orchids that don't look good.”
The old lady pinched her cheek in a bad way, ”but I can still find such a reason.”
Tris and Cuibi both cover their mouths and smile. The heavy atmosphere seems to be relaxed a lot.
Suixi lowered his head, his face flushed and took the white silk back, ”I'll go to embroider again.”
After a while, Guan Niang brought the stew to the old lady. She knew that the old lady had been on fire recently, so she went to cook some light stew in the morning.
After meeting with Guan Niang Zi as he pleased, he sat back to embroider orchids under the sign of the old lady, but his ears cocked up to listen to them talking.
”Don't just stew for me, but also stew some tonic for me.” The old lady asked Guan Niang to sit beside her and whispered.
When Guan Niang heard the speech, she lowered her head slightly. Her white cheek looked pale. The old lady sighed in her heart, ”did you stay in the side yard last night?”
Since Mrs. Guo left, uncle Guan has been staying in the side yard.
”Niang, Auntie Guo is pregnant, and her mood is bound to be upset. My uncle is also thinking about her body...” Guan Niangzi tried to explain for him with a smile, but she didn't want the old lady to be unhappy.
The old lady snorted, ”in the end, is it for her body, or is she fascinated by her heart and soul? In the past, you were soft and gentle, but now it is different. If you don't think about yourself, what will you do if you are overtaken by her? Do you really want to salute the woman when you meet her
What do you mean? Guan Niangzi was stunned and raised her head. ”Why should I salute Guo Jingjun with pleasure? It's against the rules!”
I don't know anything! She thought that Suixi would complain to her grandmother, but she didn't say anything. The old lady looked at her granddaughter pitifully and lowered her voice and said, ”Guo Jingjun doesn't seem to be a peaceful person. If you bear with her today, she will come closer to you. When you have no way to go, do you think about what to do? You should think about your daughter, tooGuan Niang frowned. Of course, she didn't want to step back. Otherwise, she would not have arranged for mother Liu around Guo Jingjun. But in other people's eyes, was she still weak? What should we do?
”In the final analysis, the reason why you are so scrupulous is because she has a son and a half son in her stomach. If you can give birth to a son and a half, no one will dare to see that you are not an eye.” The old lady's eyes fell on Guan Niang's belly.
Guan Niang Zi had to smile bitterly. She went to doctor CAI to check her pulse. She had no big problem with her body, but she couldn't bear it. She was about to die.
