Chapter 51 Pink Ticket in Fireworks 9o

After about two cups of tea, Mrs. Qiao turned back.

Her face was pale and she looked dazed. The maid stepped forward to help her, but she pushed her to the ground.

The maid's face showed pain, but she didn't dare to hum and got up, and went to help Mrs. Qiao again.

This time, Mrs. Qiao was helped by the maid in a daze, but her eyes were fixed on Qiao Lianfang who was sitting next to Mrs. Qiao. After a long while, she returned to her position with one foot raised and one foot lowered.

Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Lin saw thin beads of sweat on her forehead, and she was swaying as if she had lost strength. She couldn't help but worry, "What's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Qiao, who was always lively and agile, turned to look at Mrs. Lin, her eyes a little distracted, and it took her a long time to concentrate and said: I feel a little uncomfortable.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly asked: "Do you want to call a doctor?" She stood up and said, "I'll go and talk to Mrs. Tai."

Mrs. Qiao suddenly grabbed Mrs. Lin's arm: No, no need. I just had a bad stomach. Yes, I had a bad stomach. The fresh peaches sent by the fourth lady

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but frown.

Mrs. Qiao's strength was so strong that her arm hurt. No matter what she said, she never seemed to be okay.

But she said it was okay. Why should I bother myself?

Thinking about it, she pulled her arm back without any trace, and said with a smile: If you feel uncomfortable, just say something. I can call the doctor.

Mrs. Qiao nodded, half-leaning on the imperial chair as if paralyzed.

Eleven Niang saw this and vaguely felt that Yuan Niang must have told Mrs. Qiao about Qiao Lian's room.

Does the eldest lady know?

She looked at the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was talking and laughing with Mrs. Gan beside her.

Eleven Niang was about to turn her head when she saw the eldest lady standing up and whispering a few words to Mrs. Gan. Mrs. Gan smiled and nodded. She entered the flower hall and called a maid: "Take me to the clean room." Then she gave instructions.

Luoqiao, come with me.

She bent her knees to salute, followed the eldest lady, and was led by the little maid to the clean room behind the flower hall.

The eldest lady stopped in front of the cleaning room and stuffed a small silver lock into the maid's hand: "You don't have to serve here anymore, I'm not used to it."

The little maid glanced at Luoqiao, happily took the silver needle, and stepped back.

The eldest lady whispered to Luo Qiao: You stay here. If someone comes, wait for me outside. Do you understand?

Luo Qiao hurriedly said: Got it.

The eldest lady nodded slightly, stood at the door of the clean room and looked around for a moment, and saw that there was indeed no one around. Then she went out from the corner door next to her, passed through the Dianchun Hall, and hurried to the small courtyard.

Two women stood in front of the steps in the hall, standing on tiptoe to watch the excitement. Seeing the eldest lady coming, they stepped forward and saluted: "Where are you going? Our fourth lady has already rested. What can you do? I'll wait until tomorrow morning."

talk later

Someone immediately yelled: It’s dark, so your eyes are also going blind.

The two women immediately turned around and respectfully called Mrs. Tao.

In the middle of the night, in the hall, a woman wearing an official green flowered gown walked over with a serious face. It was Mama Tao who was serving Yuan Niang. When she saw the eldest lady, she put a smile on her face: eldest lady

, you are here

The eldest lady nodded and walked forward impatiently: How is Yuan Niang?

"We are waiting for you." Mother Tao responded and accompanied the eldest wife into the small courtyard.

The small courtyard was dark, except for two red lanterns hung under the eaves of the main house. A little maid stood in front of the door, picking her fingernails out of boredom. When she saw someone coming, she immediately opened her eyes wide and looked very alert.

Asked who.

It was my mother Tao who answered. The eldest lady saw the little maid heaving a sigh of relief, turned around and opened the door: The fourth lady just asked

Mother Tao nodded, served the eldest lady into the house, turned around and said sternly to the little maid, "watch carefully," and then closed the door behind her back.

The creaking sound of the door hinge was clear and distant in the quiet courtyard, startling the little maid.

Yuan Niang rested on the nanmu bed facing the window in the west wing. When she saw the eldest lady, a smile spread across her lips. Under the white ram's horn palace lantern, she looked soft and peaceful.

"Mother Tao, give your mother the things," she said softly. Although she looked tired, her eyes were bright.

Tao's mother responded and took out the white skirt embroidered with bamboo, plum and orchid hems.

The eldest wife answered it, but sighed: Why are you doing this? The Qiao family is not easy to offend.

Mom, you should know better than me. Yuan Niang smiled slightly, her dark eyes were as deep as ancient wells under the light. There was no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed. They thought I was sick and there was nothing they could do. That’s why.

Going in and out unscrupulously. If I didn't pick the hardest one and smash it, it would only cause endless trouble. There is no other way. If we talk about it seriously, although I set this trap, if she hadn't thought

I went to show off in front of the Marquis, how could I be fooled? Why didn't I see other girls coming to join in the fun? I can only blame myself for being too eager. You can't blame me.

The eldest lady remained silent, obviously agreeing with her daughter.

You have put this dress away. Yuan Niang said with a smile, as she would avoid being found by anyone who wanted to, thinking that she could sit back and relax.

The eldest lady nodded: I don't have to. Then in front of her daughter, she took off her skirt, put the skirt on her body, and put her own skirt outside.

Qiao Lianfang was not as tall as the eldest wife, and the skirts at that time were all very pleated. The eldest wife was so dressed up that she couldn't even tell that she was wearing a skirt underneath.

"What do you mean by Mr. Hou?" she asked when she was wearing a skirt, but she agreed with your idea.

Yuan Niang answered the question and said with a smile: Mrs. Tai agreed to propose marriage to the Jiang family for Brother Zhun.

The eldest wife showed some surprise on her face. She obviously didn't expect Yuanniang to say such a sentence. She hesitated and said: "Then the Marquis also has a stepmother."

Now is not the time. Yuanniang said with a smile, let's deal with this matter first. That matter is not urgent. Even if it is urgent, it cannot be urgent. You have to wait until I die. She curled the corner of her mouth, and there was a bit of sarcasm in her expression.

.

The eldest lady's eyes turned red. She held it back for a moment, but finally couldn't hold it back any longer. Tears fell down.

Mom, don’t be like this. Yuan Niang took her mother’s hand. I didn’t come to you to make you cry.

The eldest lady nodded casually, took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears: "What else do you have to do? I'm here to listen. I will definitely help you do it. But I can't help complaining. I really don't understand. The disciples of the Jiang family have old friends in both the government and the public, and they can communicate with them."

I don’t know how glorious it is to get married in such a family. Why did the Marquis refuse to agree to it? If he had agreed long ago, how could he be so tired? You said, as if you remembered something, your tone suddenly became cautious: Could it be that he really had something in mind?

Abolition of the heir apparent and the establishment of a concubine would violate the laws of the Zhou Dynasty. He would be impeached by the imperial censor. Isn't he afraid that his reputation would be damaged a hundred years later?

Mother, after so many years, don’t you still understand? Yuan Niang smiled and said, if the laws were so useful, why would we set up another Metropolitan Procuratorate?

Yes. The eldest lady replied reluctantly, looking quite helpless.

Therefore, the top priority now is to get married to the Jiang family. Yuan Niang's expression was calm. When the time comes, Brother Zhun will have such a powerful Yue family, and no one will be able to shake his position as the heir apparent. By the end of his words, he was very convincing.

Yes. The eldest lady nodded. Have you thought about which girl to book for Brother Zhen? I think Jiang Bai, who is the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, is the best. He is now the bachelor of the academy. If nothing happens, he will be admitted.

It's just around the corner to pay homage to the Prime Minister.

Well, Yuan Niang frowned slightly: Mom and I thought of going together. There is one in their family, and he is a direct child. He is just two years old this year, and he is about the same age as Brother Chen. As for the Wang family, I have sent someone to Taiyuan with heavy gifts.

Since our family is willing to get married to Wang Lang, I believe she will not refuse to be a protector for Brother Chen.

The eldest wife was a little hesitant: After all, the Mao Kingdom Palace was in decline. She asked Wang to do Baoshan. She didn't know if the Jiang family would give her face. She was afraid that her daughter would think she was unwilling, so she explained, "I'm not reluctant to give up."

I have a daughter, because I’m afraid that the Wang family will get something for nothing.

There are some things you don’t know. Yuan Niang said with a smile, although the Wang family was born into a noble family, she was a lowly person in the Jiang family and was very good at being a good person. When Jiang Bai was serving as a concubine in Yanjing, Jiang Bai’s wife was seriously ill.

Not only did she serve her untiedly, but she also went around seeking medical advice for Jiang Bai's wife, praying to gods and Buddhas. Later, Jiang Bai's wife recovered from her illness after taking the medicine she found, and she was not as affectionate to Mr. Wang as usual.

Yes. I once asked someone to send a message to the Jiang family, but the Jiang family politely refused. Otherwise, why would I need to ask her to make peace with her.

You know these things better than I do. The eldest lady smiled and said, just make up your mind.

Yuan Niang muttered: Mom, you have to worry about the marriages of the three sisters. After all, the elders and younger ones should be in order.

The eldest lady raised her eyes and showed a bit of coldness on her face: Don't worry, I know what to do.

Yuan Niang let out a long sigh, and for the first time there was a look of sadness in her expression: Sometimes, one has to believe in fate, so she stayed in the flower hall, but this happened, and she didn't panic at all.

I still wanted to take a look, but now I have no choice but to choose her. I just hope that God will bless me and take pity on my hard work. She is the same on the outside and I didn’t look the other way.

While the eldest lady and Yuan Niang were talking about themselves, the third lady took advantage of serving tea to the eldest lady and went to the flower hall with the fifth lady with a wink.

They were shipped quickly from Nanjing and cost twenty taels of silver each. Suddenly they all disappeared. Do you think it's strange? The third lady's voice was very low. If I hadn't been familiar with Liu Ji, I wouldn't be here today.

I made a big fool of myself for my first family dinner, and the anchovies ordered by my wife were not included. When I checked, I found out that the errand boy was your mother’s nephew. To be honest, our natal family didn’t come from somewhere.

How come a foreigner who has moved from a different place and has hired outsiders to do all the errands for his parents’ family comes to work for the Xu family. Fifth brother and sister, it’s really hard for me to get involved in this matter. It’s better for you to take care of it yourself.

The fifth lady smiled and said: Don't worry, third sister-in-law. If the person on duty is one of mine, I will definitely give you an explanation.

See what the siblings said. The third lady smiled and said, I don’t want to pursue anything. I just think this matter is too strange. You know, I have just taken over the family affairs. It is inevitable that there will be things I can’t do, and it is inevitable that someone will give me power.

You can't be careful at all times. He said, sighing helplessly, I really hope that my fourth brother and sister will get better soon, so that I don't have to worry so much and can hand over this burden soon, looking reluctant.

The fifth lady listened with a smile, and was about to say a few polite words, when suddenly someone under the eaves of the flower hall exclaimed: Mrs. Qiao, what's wrong with you?
