Chapter 156 Visitation
"Sister Mei, what's wrong with you?" Feng Shi finally saw that something was wrong with Bai Meizhi. Seeing that her face was sometimes red and sometimes white, she thought that something was wrong with her body, and asked with concern.
"No, no, auntie, since the eldest cousin is ill, shouldn't Meier go to visit her?" Bai Meizhi quickly recovered, "Meier just thought of going to visit the eldest cousin, don't you know?" What kind of gift is appropriate."
"Why is this so difficult? Let Jin Momo go to my storeroom to get some medicinal materials, and you can just take them there!"
Nurse Jin agreed from the side. She looked at Bai Meizhi coldly, only feeling that she could see a little bit of Bai Meizhi's thoughts.
After dinner, Bai Meizhi took a 30-year-old ginseng donated by the Feng family with her maid, and went to Fuyun Courtyard. After Jinmao waved away the people in the room, she handed it to the old lady. Squeezing her shoulders, she said, "Old lady, it's not that the servant is talking too much. The servant looks at the cousin girl who is not too young. Should the old lady worry about the cousin?"
The old lady sighed, "I've thought about this matter too, anyway, we'll have to discuss it after a new year. Years ago, when I had the opportunity, I would take her to walk around the capital to match those nobles. For the concubine in the family, Sister Mei is easy to talk about, except for one thing, because there is something lacking in life, I just have to see whose family's concubine is more promising, and make up for it."
Jin Momo disagreed, she squeezed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Hasn't the old lady thought about going home? These days, the slaves are watching, and the cousin treats the old lady with sincerity and filial piety. In the future, in this family, the slaves will Look, the old man is more partial to the long house, but the second master and the fourth master are not of the same mind as the old lady."
When the old lady heard Jin Momo saying that she wanted to go home, she became alert. Although she loved her aunt and niece, how could she compare to her own son?
The girl from the Hai family matches the fourth child, and the old lady feels that her son has suffered a disadvantage, and sister Mei will definitely fail.
"You mean the long house? Be a concubine for the boss?"
Sister Jin said slowly, "I heard that my cousin met robbers when she came to Beijing. If it wasn't for the old man, I'm afraid something happened. Since ancient times, beauties love heroes, so I don't know what kind of thoughts my cousin might have. The old lady is all about being a cousin, but if there is a future marriage, the cousin will not be happy? Didn’t the old lady not do a good thing, but instead do something evil? "
"Furthermore, the servants are also thinking of the old lady. Over there, our people are almost exhausted. Even if we arrange two of them to go in, we won't be able to get on the stage. If there is a cousin girl there to make some arrangements for the old lady, Being able to trap the Elder Master's mind, I'm afraid it's not the situation today."
Nurse Jin just clicked to the end. Seeing that the old lady was deep in thought, she stood aside and did not speak. The old lady is not stupid, so she thought that she said she would send the room to the boss. The aunt and niece seemed so out of control, she hesitated to speak a few times, she couldn't help sighing, "Her mother is a concubine, I am a concubine." One hundred times I don’t want her to go this way.”
"The old lady is thinking about it. The old lady still remembers that year when the old lady asked the Taoist priest of Qingcheng Mountain to test the horoscope for the old man. What did the Taoist say? The old man ordered Rick's wife, and only the woman with gold can hold it .”
This is because the Cui family disappeared back then. The old lady wanted to hire her niece from her natal family to Xie Yuanbai to continue the strings, but the old lady refused to agree, and the dead old lady of the Cui family was also a hindrance. The old lady had no choice but to come up with such a thing 10% off.
"Sister Mei..."
"The horoscope of the cousin girl, I still remember, it is the fate with gold in the life." Jin Nanny rolled up her sleeves uncomfortably, and there was an extra silk agate bracelet on her arm. He handed it to her, saying that the girl had just arrived, and they were old acquaintances, so she must take care of her for the sake of the second aunt.
The bracelet is solid gold, and the silk-wrapped agate inlaid on it has red and white onyx-like stripes as thin as silk. It is the top grade of agate, and it is very valuable at first glance. This bracelet was one of the things that the old lady gave to the second aunt, and it also passed through her hands. At that time, she still lamented that the old lady treated her sister really well, and it was a pity to give this bracelet away.
Nowadays, using it as a dowry for one's own daughter is a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Just after eating in Fuyun Courtyard, Xie Zhiwei took a sip of tea after rinsing his mouth. Dan Feng opened the curtain and came in, saying, "Madam, Cousin is here. She brought an old wild ginseng to visit Madam."
Yuan Shi was a little embarrassed, how could she go out to meet people now? If people come in, Xianggong and the children are all there, they just finished their meal, and the family is sitting together talking for a while, will they be interrupted?
Yuan could not help frowning and asked, "Why are you here at this time? How late is this?"
As she said that, she was still going to go to the field to meet Bai Meizhi. No matter how you say it, the visitor is a visitor, and he is here to visit her.
"Mother, my daughter can help you receive it!" Xie Zhiwei stopped her, got up and got off the ground.
Bai Meizhi waited in the bright room, and the maids served a cup of tea. While she was drinking, she looked at Yuan's room calmly. I thought the old lady's room was already very luxurious, but unexpectedly, the furnishings in Yuan's room are even more extraordinary.
I heard that Yuan’s natal family was a military general, and his father was transferred to Fuzhou’s general army. There was only one brother and sister-in-law in the capital. There were as many as ten carts of annual gifts to Yuan’s every year.
Bai Meizhi was immediately shameless, but the sour taste in her heart was lingering, and she thought, Xie's family is noble, and her eldest cousin has been in the army, so she may not be used to these things, otherwise, she would not He will be out racing horses all day today, and he doesn't want to stay with Yuan Shi in the yard anymore.
Hearing the movement, Bai Meizhi hurriedly stood up, saw that it was Xie Zhiwei who came out, she was slightly disappointed, and smiled, "Sister Wei, I heard that my cousin fell, what happened?"
"Mother fell a little hard. I was going to see Auntie Bai. My father was worried about my mother's injury, so he ordered me to come out to treat guests." Xie Zhiwei did not miss the flash of annoyance and unwillingness in Bai Meizhi's eyes, and smiled. "Auntie Bai, it's so late, I'm sorry to trouble you to make a trip."
"Here... can I go in and see your mother? I'm really worried. Since I'm here, I don't feel relieved if I don't take a look." Bai Meizhi looked eagerly at the door curtain of the second room.
The second update!
