Chapter 97: Change to a new nanny
It's really lucky that she didn't die in the palace. It seems that her previous guess was correct. This Aunt Feng is the most humble little palace maid. Now she can be a nurturing mother. I'm afraid it's not because of her mother-in-law.
Came out of the Empress Dowager's palace.
Aunt Feng has made up her mind not to keep her anymore, but she does need a capable nanny by her side who can teach her and help her take care of the servants in the yard.
Mother Han was originally a very good candidate, she was absolutely loyal and capable, but unfortunately she was not the original owner and could not be used in order not to reveal her secret. Grandma Feng did not count on her from the beginning, until now Mrs. Wang chose her dowry.
She just realized the problem.
After much thought, she couldn't think of a suitable candidate. The two women in Tinglan Garden are loyal, but they don't have enough ability and vision. In the future, they won't be able to help her when they go to the Duke's Mansion, and they might even have to.
To hold back, Duke Ding's Mansion has been in existence for almost two hundred years. The servants in this mansion may have become spirits long ago. We must find someone who can control those people and also give her some advice.
people.
"Alas!" Sitting on the swing, An Ruoyu thought for a long time and couldn't find anyone who could use her. She couldn't help but sighed. No wonder they said talents were rare. She just wanted to find a wife to marry her, so why was it so difficult!
Zisu couldn't help but be surprised to see the young lady looking so worried. After asking, he found out that the young lady was actually upset, and couldn't help but laugh.
"My young lady, you usually call upon the Duke of Guo very easily, but now you just want to find a mother-in-law. Why should you be so embarrassed? You can just ask the Duke of Guo to help you find one. In the palace,
I have so many nuns, and many of them come out to support me. The Duke of Guo asked me to find as good a girl as I want, and I promised to be loyal. Why did you forget about the Duke of Guo today?"
An Ruoyu: "..."
She also... really forgot!
An Ruoyu slapped her forehead and wailed. The Wang family had always said that the mother-in-law was marrying the mother-in-law, which made her subconsciously not think about Song Yu. She was really stupid this time!
Stomping her feet in annoyance, she decided to ask Ziyun to send her a message and ask Song Yu to help her find a capable and reliable woman to help her. As for eating fish in sour soup for noon, she would give Song Yu a portion by the way.
Go over and give me a bribe. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. This fish in sour soup is just appetizing. I think he will like it.
Having made up her mind, An Ruoyu became full of energy in an instant, but just as she asked someone to go to the big kitchen to get some fresh big grass carp, An Ruomeng came.
Seeing the second sister with a decent smile, An Ruoyu responded with a decent smile reflexively, tsk! The only thing in the whole An family that she couldn't understand was this second sister, she hid her thoughts too deeply.
"Why is the second sister here at this time? If grandma finds out, I'm afraid she will be angry with the second sister."
Someone served hot braised tea, and the two of them sat in the yard talking. To be honest, An Ruoyu was very curious. It was not wise to come see her at this time. Her second sister was not such a stupid person.
"What happened today is indeed my grandmother's fault. I was afraid that you would be sad and I avoided coming here to see you. But seeing how lively and energetic the fourth sister is, I guess you won't be angry anymore, right?"
"Don't mind it too much. Grandma has been used to us juniors being filial and fawning over the years. She will be so angry when she is suddenly rejected. Don't take it to heart."
An Ruomeng's eyes were full of sincere consolation. Although she felt that these words were empty, she still had to say that to be honest, if she were the fourth sister, she would only find excuses to shirk. She would not be as stubborn as her at all.
I don't know if he is stupid or arrogant.
"Alas! I didn't expect that my grandmother would actually want to give me a dowry. I know that the only people my grandmother loves most are the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fifth sister. As for us concubines, she has never liked them, but if I touch Dingguo
It was a betrothal gift given by the father, so how could I have the dignity to marry to Duke Dingguo's mansion? I was angry and would contradict my grandmother like that."
Rolling her eyes, An Ruoyu sighed with sadness on her brows and then became worried again, "You said I made my grandmother so angry, my father won't punish me in anger, right?"
The corner of her mouth twitched, An Ruomeng wanted to say something, since you knew you were afraid, you just said that!
Anyway, this was the first time she had seen her grandmother so angry, and it was also the first time she had seen someone dare to talk to her grandmother like that. Although it was unfilial, it was really satisfying!
"This is something that my grandmother has done too much. What's more, you will marry into the Duke of Dingguo soon. My father will not blame you too much. But fourth sister, you really can't do this in the future. If this matter
If you spread the word and contradict your elders, your reputation will be completely ruined. Even Duke Dingguo may be dissatisfied with you, and it may even affect your marriage. You must not be so impulsive in the future."
"I'm just a little unconvinced...Okay, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again." An Ruoyu nodded obediently, and An Ruoyu was like a well-behaved sister now.
"Okay, don't think about that, look at what good things I brought you." An Ruomeng mysteriously took out a delicately embroidered sapphire blue sachet from her sleeve.
"What?" An Ruoyu took the sachet and smelled it. Yes! It has a very nice fragrance.
He leaned forward and opened the sachet to show it to her. He took the sachet and looked at the small yellow talisman paper folded into a triangle exposed in the sachet and was stunned for a moment, "This is..."
Seeing her reaction, An Ruomeng smiled with satisfaction, "Two days ago, I went to Yuelao Temple to ask for a marriage amulet for you. Before we girls in the capital get married, our elders have to go to Yuelao Temple to ask for a marriage amulet.
I just want Yue Lao to bless me so that I can grow old together with my husband and love each other for a lifetime."
He pursed his lips and observed her face and said tentatively: "I see... your wedding date has been set for a long time. Aunt Tang and her mother haven't even thought about going to Yuelao Temple to ask for a marriage talisman, so they just wonder if they are...
I was too busy, so... I took it upon myself to ask for one. Fourth sister, just don't blame me for being nosy."
An Ruoyu's calm heart was shaken. She knew about the marriage talisman of Yuelao Temple, but she was not the original owner, so she didn't think of such a habit for a while. Now An Ruomeng took out this
She was really touched by giving this marriage talisman to her.
Yes, no matter whether a girl in the capital comes from a noble family or an ordinary family, when she gets married, the elders of the family will always ask for a marriage talisman to ensure a happy marriage.
It is said that the founding emperors and empresses of the Zhou Dynasty met and fell in love with each other at Yuelao Temple, so this custom has spread. Anyone who loves their daughter will ask for a marriage talisman before her daughter gets married, mostly women such as mothers.
Elders, when the wedding date is set, just go and ask for it. When you come back, you will wear it for the girl who is about to become the bride. It is said that the longer you wear it, the more effective it will be.
Rubbing a thin piece of yellow talisman paper, An Ruoyu realized that her wedding date had been set for such a long time, but neither Mrs. Wang nor Aunt Tang had ever gone to Yuelao Temple to ask for a marriage talisman on her behalf.
Not even Aunt Chen.
However, An Ruomeng, the second sister, still remembered her. The precious snow clams and countless overtures had not moved her, but this small marriage talisman made her begin to have a slight recognition of this second sister.
, even though she knew he was purposefully trying to please her, she had to say that she was really happy to receive this gift at this moment.
"Although this sachet looks a bit crude, the silk thread used to embroider the sachet was specially found by me. You can smell the faint fragrance on it. It is said that this kind of silk thread needs to be soaked in many precious spices several times before it can be embroidered.
It will make this fragrance last forever. It is a precious silk thread from the south. I spent a lot of effort to get this little bit. I wanted to embroider a lotus flower for you, but unfortunately there was too little silk thread and I could only embroider some.
It’s bluegrass, I just don’t know if you like it or not.”
"Second sister is interested." An Ruoyu immediately hung the sachet on her waist without saying a word, "Thank you very much, second sister, I like it very much."
The sachet containing the marriage amulet is also very particular. This marriage amulet needs to be worn day and night. The same is true for the sachet containing the marriage amulet. It cannot be cleaned and cannot be taken off until after the marriage. Therefore, if the color of the sachet is too easy,
Not suitable for dirty stools.
As for the sachet made by An Ruomeng, it is sapphire blue, does not look dirty, and has a light fragrance. It must have been carefully thought out. An Ruoyu accepted this favor!
"As long as you like it."
Seeing that she put it on immediately, An Ruomeng's eyelashes trembled and she smiled broadly.
"By the way, there is something I want to tell you. The second uncle and my grandmother's family will arrive in a few days. When the fourth sister arrives, you can't be as impulsive as you are today. The second uncle and his family are fine, but
The Zhao family is very difficult to deal with. We are jade and they are stones. You must not use jade to touch stones, as the gain outweighs the loss."
An Ruomeng came here today not just to deliver sachets. She knew that the fourth sister must not know much about her second uncle and her grandmother's natal family. Isn't this the time to make a good sale? You can make a sale just by talking.
Well, why not do it.
"Difficult?" When the word "difficult" comes from the mouth of this second sister, how difficult is it to deal with it?
"Actually, there is a reason why grandma did what she did today."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
An Ruomeng guessed right, An Ruoyu was indeed very interested in these relatives who were coming to An Mansion.
"Alas!" He sighed heavily, "That's all to save face in front of the Zhao family."
"You probably don't know that this time you are getting married, my grandmother's natal sister is also coming. It is said that my grandmother and this aunt have been growing up since childhood. The aunt was married to a scholar, and my grandfather was just a businessman.
My aunt was very arrogant in front of my grandmother. Later, my father and second uncle were present, but my great aunt never made any progress. Until now, my aunt heard that she had a granddaughter with amazing appearance, and wanted to rely on her to suppress my grandmother's arrogance. Grandma is
I want to support my fifth sister and my aunt in the ring."
An Ruoyu twitched her lips, somewhat incomprehensible, "Isn't it enough for her to show off that I am about to marry Duke Dingguo and become Duke Dingguo's wife? Why do I have to promote An Ruofei to compare? Grandma..."
Pointing to her brain, An Ruoyu's expression was a bit incomprehensible, "Is your brain really not confused?"
With a dull face, An Ruomeng didn't know how to answer. She said her grandmother was not confused, but everything she did felt like there was something wrong with her brain. She was confused. How could a junior say that to an elder?
These fourth sisters really dare to say anything with their mouths, and they are so confident just because they can marry Duke Dingguo. Tsk! I'm really envious.
But to be honest, she didn't know what was going on in her grandmother's mind. With her fourth sister as the future Duke Dingguo's wife, she didn't need to do anything at all. A contemptuous smile or an indifferent look could turn that aunt away.
Compared to being in the dust, it's not on the same level at all, right?
But she didn't want to, because she wanted to offend the fourth sister. She wanted to use the fourth sister's dowry to promote the fifth sister, and she wanted to use the fourth sister's betrothal gift to raise her own worth. This is simply mentally ill.
As for the fifth sister, I really don't see how she is outstanding in terms of appearance, status or talent. Could it be that her grandmother praised her so highly just because of her status as a legitimate daughter?
Thinking of this, An Ruomeng began to feel resentful again. An Ruofei was just lucky enough to be reincarnated into the madam's belly. If she had been born from the madam, she wouldn't have had to plan so hard.
This feeling of depression did not dissipate until I left Tinglan Garden, which had a courtyard to itself and even had the luxury of a small kitchen, and returned to my cramped house where I still had to share a courtyard with An Ruoxia.
, this suffocation accumulated in the chest even more vigorously.
Seeing that his lady's face was not very good, Caiwei didn't know why she was angry, so she immediately poured her a cup of hot tea to calm her down.
But looking at the ordinary tea leaves in the cup, and thinking about the tribute tea I just drank from An Ruoyu's place, I immediately became even more furious. One and the other were so hateful! They were both so hateful!
He became so angry that he smashed the entire teacup to pieces with a wave of his hand.
"Miss!"
Caiwei was shocked. The young lady has always been the most gentle and polite, and she was unhurried when things happened. It was rare to see the young lady so angry.
"Miss, what are you..." Caiwei didn't understand. Didn't the lady achieve her goal today? Why are you still so angry?
"Huh..." An Ruomeng exhaled a long breath. The violence in her eyes disappeared, and the violent aura around her gradually became softer. "Please clean it up. If anyone asks, just say that I accidentally broke it."
.”
Caiwei nodded silently. The young lady was in a bad mood today, but fortunately it did not disappear.
"Crack! Bang! Click!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of smashing things next door. An Ruomeng, who had closed her eyes to relax, was so startled that she opened her eyes. The sound of a house being demolished next door made her annoyance surge into her heart again, and she looked sharply at that person.
It's like you can see through the wall and see what's going on next door.
"What's going on next door! I'll be smashing it all day long!"
Chapter completed!
