Chapter 144: plead

Chapter 144 Intercession

As soon as Mr. Lin mentioned Xie Zhiwei, he was very proud, and couldn't help laughing, "No matter what the eldest lady said, she has never been trusted since ancient times. Although Miss Wei is a woman, it is really rare to be able to understand this truth. It can be seen that she taught me all the time. I listened to it and did it. What's wrong with that? Besides, Miss Wei asked for leave. She has learned all the lessons I have to teach these days by herself, and the homework is well written. If Otherwise, I will not grant leave."

"That's a good thing!" Yuan Shi and You Rong Yan.

Because the old lady is still self-confineing, these days the old lady is in a bad mood, and she doesn't see anyone except Bai Meizhi, and she doesn't let anyone go to pay her respects.

But when Yuan came to and from Cong Lvtang, she had to go through the backyard of Chunhui Hall, so she couldn't pass through the door. In addition, Bai Meizhi proposed to accompany the old lady, so her daughter-in-law had to follow into Chunhui Hall .

The old lady got annoyed as soon as she heard about the long room, and Nanny Jin also knew that it was not what it used to be, so she persuaded her, "Your servant sees that the second wife has lost her mind recently, and I heard that the old man is going to hire a good concubine for the second master. I can't take care of these family matters for the time being. The servants are thinking, if the old lady wants to find a good marriage for the cousin girl, the eldest wife must help her."

"What can she tell?" The old lady didn't think so.

Nanny Jin handed a cup of tea to the old lady, and persuaded, "I heard that the eldest girl went out again today, and there were cars and horses at the door just now. The lord, Huihe and the county lord all come to our door, waiting for the eldest girl to go to the horse market together. The old lady thinks, if the eldest girl is willing to bring one or two, she will bring the cousin with her every time she goes out, relying on the beauty of the cousin Character, not to mention being a concubine, is there always something extra for an ordinary noble son?"

The old lady thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, if you are thoughtful, she is only useful for this."

Nurse Jin took advantage of the situation and said, "Old lady, is this servant going to invite the eldest lady in?"

The old lady watched Yuan Shi walk in. She was quite different from before. She walked with her chest straightened out. She was wearing a double-layer brocade collared beige with eight auspicious peacock patterns, and a skirt with flowers scattered like clouds and smoke underneath. Wearing eight precious golden hairpins, a phoenix held a string of glazed beads and swayed tremblingly with her footsteps. The reflected light made her full moon-like face shine white.

"Greetings to mother!" Yuan Shifu went down, the old lady stared at her, and didn't cry for a long time.

Bai Meizhi looked at Yuan's sarcastically, thinking, in such a family, the status of an old lady can kill people with a word of filial piety, unless the Xie family is shameless.

She went forward, knelt on the footrest in front of the couch, and fell in front of the old lady, pretending to plead for Yuan Shi, "Auntie, the eldest cousin came here because of Meier, please look at me From Meier's point of view, even if my sister-in-law has something bad, I have to forgive her."

"Get up!" Feng also felt very grateful for Bai Meizhi's obedience, her sharp eyesight, and her demeanor when she was young, so she couldn't help liking her even more, "I don't do it for anything else, eldest daughter-in-law, don't blame me for being a mother." You talk too much, I do everything for the good of this family. You see, the second and third child have been married for a long time, and they have a lot of children. You and the eldest are in front of you. Look, it’s just Sister Wei and Brother Xi. , Sister Wei didn’t crawl out of your stomach.”

When it comes to children, Yuan is full of guilt. She lowers her head, as if she has committed a heinous crime, without a single word of excuse.

"In the past few years, I reminded you many times that you couldn't go to the boss's place by yourself. I asked you to pick a suitable person and send him there. First, he will take care of the boss, and second, he might accidentally get in the way? Look at you. Didn’t you hear it? Now that the boss is back, hurry up, just get a few maids in the house, and you have to call you mother after giving birth, and don’t be like those jealous women who are small and small. , Lost the Xie family's face."

Yuan Shi felt that she had seen Xie Yuanbai's thoughts towards Cui Shi clearly. How could she dare to give Xie Yuanbai away?

But the words couldn't be uttered, she had no choice but to say, "Yes, my daughter-in-law understands!"

Bai Meizhi was thrilled to hear it from the side. She really wanted to say to the old lady, "I will be a concubine to my eldest cousin, I am willing." Reason finally allowed her to keep a little reserved. She knelt down in front of the couch, and slowly gave the old lady Squeezing her legs, she couldn't help thinking that even if she was just being a concubine for her eldest cousin, she had to win his heart first.

She has already compromised and refused to be the main wife. Do you want her to lose both fame and affection?

She doesn't want much, just the sincerity of her big cousin, as long as he can treat her wholeheartedly.

She was also doing it for the good of her eldest cousin. She didn't want to see him dwelling on the past, putting his heart on a dead person, forgetting that he was a living person.

Yuan Shi has been unable to win over her cousin's heart for so many years, she is really distressed.

When Mrs. Yuan came out of Chunhui Hall, her steps were heavy. When she stepped over the threshold, her legs softened and she almost fell forward. Nanny Tian grabbed her and asked worriedly, "Ma'am, what happened?"

Yuan Shi felt extremely wronged, she looked around, didn't speak, and was really not in the mood to go to the listening hall, so she said to go back to Fuyun Courtyard to rest, and after entering Fuyun Courtyard, Yuan's all grievances were exhausted. Having said that, she couldn't help crying, "Is it because I am jealous that I don't want to take concubines for the Grand Master? I also want the Grand Master to be willing!"

Because all the servants in Yuan's house were maids who had been with her for many years, she didn't care about Yanmei staying in the house.

Grandma Tian was also filled with righteous indignation, but she remained calm, took the tea from Yanmei, and handed it to Yuan Shi, "Don't worry, madam, don't forget, no matter who wants to enter the door of Fuyunyuan, It's not up to the eldest wife, nor the old lady, the Cui family is watching from the sidelines!"

When Yuan Shi heard this, it was also the same reason. There was one more thing that Nanny Tian didn't dare to say, that is, the Elder Master is not a person who puts his heart into it. Provoking the disgust of the old man, he also calmed down.

"I'm even more impatient than Mei Mei. Anyway, today the old lady is right in saying that the old man's house is weak, how can I not be anxious!" Yuan dabbed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. , When I said it, I was wronged again. The elder said that they started again, and they didn't know how to start again. She didn't dare to ask her.

Yuan Shi is worried here, and Xie Zhiwei is also worried.

The second update!
