Chapter 71 Happy Event (1)
Wenyang Mansion.
On this day, the sky was blue and the clouds were white and the sun was shining. The Dingyuan General's Mansion was even more peaceful.
It rained a few days ago, and the water stains remained on the bluestone road, reflecting dazzling light in the sun. In the afternoon, the warmth of the air came up, and the number of women going out for a walk was increasing.
A stream of footsteps came from the gravel paved road leading from the front yard to the back house. Listening to the footsteps, it seemed like a few people were walking back and forth.
Along with the sound of soft talking.
The one who calls herself a woman is a middle-aged woman. Her voice is low and magnetic. Although it is not beautiful, it makes people feel very comfortable. The tone is filled with a spontaneous humility, but it also reveals a hint of ability.
Just relying on the tone of voice can make people unable to help but give trust. Judging from this self-proclaimed person, he should be the heroine who is highly valued in the general's mansion.
The voice of a woman who spoke to her was obviously a young woman. Her tone was very peaceful and gave people a gentle feeling, like the spring breeze blowing on her face. It was Song Xinyou, the hostess of this house!
The two girls were talking about the matters of planting flowers in the mansion and purchasing slaves and maids.
When winter and spring are over, how to welcome the arrival of summer and embellish the scenery of the mansion is also a big event for the hostess.
"...Madam, the main road has been planted with flower seeds. All of them are assembled with good varieties as you told me. Now they should be planted properly. Other roads should also be placed with flower seeds, both sides of the east and west and north and south partitions. The flowers are planted with flower varieties that are not afraid of the cold, so that they can enjoy the flowers in the snow in the back home in the spring of the year."
".........All the courtyards, Canghailou is the general's study. According to your instructions, only ten plum trees have been transplanted. They have begun to recover and survive. There are also courtyards. According to your instructions, they will divide the seeds and let them arrange them by themselves."
"...There are seventeen ordinary flowers and six precious flowers, which have been planted. The old lady and the second lady also selected the best varieties and sent them there."
"That's how it's planting." The manager said at last.
Hearing the female manager in front of him, he carefully reported these reports, but missed the only one. Song Xinyou smiled faintly and asked, "Where is Miss Cousin?"
"Madam, according to your instructions, I specially selected six small bags of precious flower seeds and a large bag of mixed common flower seeds, and sent them to send them, but the person sent back soon came back to report, saying that Miss Cousin had something to say, and she was allergic to pollen, so she was not very fond of flowers, and she just liked to raise some green bamboos. The seeds were sent back, and the housekeeper replied with his head down.
"Don't you like flowers? Haha... This is a pity. The yard of bamboo looks quiet, but it seems to be too deserted!"
"Yes, although quiet, when you arrive in this yard, you feel a sense of cold air and you can't stay there for a long time." The female manager responded immediately, showing that she was worried!
This is the first time Song Xinyou knows Su'er's hobbies that there are very few girls who don't like flowers in the world.
However, if you are allergic to pollen, it is also a legitimate reason.
She was wearing a light blue dress. After hearing this, she just smiled faintly, adding a little more spring to this prosperous spring.
Although the manager on the other side was a woman, he was a little lost in his sight for a moment.
Song Xinyou's appearance is naturally elegant and elegant, but what makes people admire is her peaceful and bright temperament, her magnanimous demeanor and capable means.
When she married into the Wang family and presided over the residence of the two counties, she not only handled everything in an orderly manner, but also naturally recognized her status as the number one hostess, which was not simple.
"Since that's the case, Mrs. Li, let's buy some new bamboo seeds and send them to Miss Cousin's yard!" After a little consideration, Song Xinyou smiled and ordered. Based on her instinct, she knew that Su'er's woman was really not simple and could not be taken lightly.
"Yes, madam." Mrs. Li said respectfully.
"Let's go to the garden over there again."
"yes!"
After taking a few steps, Song Xinyou suddenly frowned, stopped and pressed her hand on her abdomen.
"Madam? What's wrong with you?"
After closing his eyes to recuperate for a moment, Song Xinyou opened his eyes and saw that Mrs. Li had a concerned look, and said lightly: "It's okay."
Continue to move forward.
"Madam, go further and there is a firewood room. This is the place where the lower-class slaves and maids live. The wife is rich, so don't get into bad luck." Although Mrs. Li didn't know what happened, it was obvious that Song Xinyou had just had a moment and his face looked a little ugly.
While accompanying Song Xinyou forward, she paid attention to her wife. Seeing that Song Xinyou quickly recovered from normal, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was promoted to the head of the inner house, her wife was not bad to her. Such a mistress naturally made her feel a little fond of her and she didn't want something to happen to her.
However, she was a person who had experienced it and had some speculations in her heart. After thinking about it, she kept this in mind.
"By the way, a group of new servants and maids just moved into the firewood room, right?"
Song Xinyou stopped and asked casually, but Mrs. Li's forehead felt a little sweaty.
Mrs. Li quickly lowered her eyes and replied seriously: "Yes, madam, these servants and maids are the ones I reported to you half a month ago."
"Oh, I'll be assigned to the group of slaves and maids at the Second Lady's House?" The question became more casual this time.
"Yes!" Mrs. Li's answer became more cautious, with only one word.
You should know that as a general promoted to the head, Mrs. Li did not belong to any of the two wives' confidants, and had always done only what she should do.
She knew about the affairs in the mansion.
The eldest lady and the second lady get along very well, and they are not at strife.
This is not so much about the deep sisterly relationship, but the two wives are both smart people, while Song Xinyou is decisive and magnanimous, and has already taken over the power of the mansion, so there is nothing to fight for.
You should know that the Qin Dynasty lost its deer and the whole world chased it. In peacetime, everyone was peaceful. Since Song Xinyou could quickly consolidate his position by relying on his family background, status, and means, there would be no fierce battles.
But she knew that the privilege given to the second wife by the general was still the one that Song Xinyou had in his heart.
However, Song Xinyou is very well-educated and very intelligent. She never asked her second wife at this time. She only occasionally asked a few words, which made her have an illusion that this eldest wife actually has control over the inner house.
"Since that's the case, there's no need to go and see it. I believe Mrs. Li will definitely not make any mistakes when doing things." Seeing Mrs. Li's forehead gradually sweating, she seemed to be thinking about it in a serious way. Song Xinyou's eyebrows were curved and she said very considerately.
What should be beaten has been beaten, and it is enough that the power in the mansion will not be left behind. As for some trivial matters, there is no need to worry about it.
Turning his head and looking in one direction, Song Xinyou subconsciously stroked his lower abdomen, and his eyes drooped slightly.
How could she not understand Wang Hongyi’s intention to support his wife?
Perhaps, she was afraid that the Song family's power would get involved in Wang's too much, but she was also a smart person. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.
Especially already there.
"Madam?" Mrs. Li called out softly.
Song Xinyou came to her senses, naturally lowered her right hand, smiled at the assistant, and said, "Let's go back."
"No." Mrs. Li lowered her head and responded. When she looked up again, Song Xinyou turned around and walked a few steps away. Looking at her back, there was a moment of confusion in Mrs. Li's eyes.
Murmuring to himself, Mrs. Li followed.
"Qingzhu sent by the eldest lady?" Standing in front of the yard, he saw some maids and servants digging a pit. Su'er smiled gently, and her attention was not put here.
Turning his face and looking out of the yard, she meditated and glanced around.
From her perspective, the entire Jiedu Mansion was shrouded in a thin layer of clouds. It was originally white, but recently, there was a hint of redness.
This is a sign of great luck. You should know that individuals, residences, and overall luck are different.
Su'er had already checked several yin energy that had not been dissipated, and thought to take them to the underworld next time. This was the person I had killed before, and somehow he didn't go to the underworld.
But... Su'er recalled the glance just now that Song Xinyou suddenly had a layer of power on her body, blocking her spiritual sense, which was really amazing.
Thinking of this, he thought about it. At this moment, a servant suddenly came to pass the message saying that the old lady had just bought some cloth and asked her to go over and pick a few pieces.
"Please go back to the old lady, Su'er will go here." Su'er said with a smile.
When the other party walked away, she went back to the house to change into a clean dress. After checking, she took a maid and walked towards the old lady's courtyard.
It has been a while since she arrived on the shore, she has adapted to the rules and human nature very quickly, and finally she will not reveal her identity.
On the way, we met Song Xinyou who was with the old lady. The two of them had seen Li and chatted and joked, while Su'er was secretly paying attention.
However, I found that except for a faint halo covering Song Xinyou, this kind of power never appeared again. It was quite inappropriate to investigate at this time, so I had to let it go for the time being.
When the two daughters came to the old lady's courtyard, Zhao Wan was talking to the old lady if she was not sure whether she had arrived first or had been here.
Then I saw the old lady looking at Zhao Wan with a smile. In this situation, if it were other noble women who came from the family, they would inevitably not get angry.
Song Xinyou smiled, not even a trace of hidden anger. She first met the old lady, and then smiled at Zhao Wan to show each other, and walked over to join in.
For a moment, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted, and in a very natural way, it turned into a chat between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
When Su'er, who was walking behind, saw her, her smile became stronger and stronger.
"Looking at you and your two sisters-in-law, you know the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If you don't know, you think it's mother-in-law and daughter. But I'm poor, I'm just an outsider!" She said coquettishly.
"Little girl, I'm here to pretend to be pitiful again. If you say that, you must choose materials first so that you can't help but talk to me again." The old lady smiled and said, very much pampering Su'er.
After getting the old lady's response, Su'er blinked and said with a smile: "Then Su'er, you're welcome, let's choose first!"
This look made the three girls laugh and scold again.
At this moment, a servant came in and couldn't help but report a message: "Old lady, the two ladies, the general has won triumphantly, and he has won a great victory. The Li family has been destroyed, and Du Gongzhen has withdrawn his troops."
Everyone in the room was stunned at first, and then they were overjoyed. Although they seemed normal, they were actually worried about the frontline news.
Chapter completed!
