Chapter 547: Transformation
Chapter 547
Holding his own son's soft little body, Niu Hulu, who has always been arrogant and indulgent, rarely revealed a trace of maternal love, and there was a warm smile on the corner of his mouth.
Outside the window, the warm sunlight sprinkled on her body, dispelling the faint haze in her heart, looking at a pair of magpies crying gracefully on the treetops, she lowered her head and landed a kiss on the forehead of the little brother, "Bao'er, Eniang will definitely bring you back to her side, no matter who wants to stop it, I will not let go." ”
In fact, Niu Hulu's family made such a decision, not only because of the overflow of maternal love, but also because she understood her status in the mansion and the bad image in the eyes of the fourth master, and it was a fluke to be able to give birth to a son.
Perhaps, the son she was holding in her arms at this time was her only child.
Thinking of this, Niu Hulu felt even more lucky, glad that she could get a man in one fell swoop, no matter whether it is a salted fish to turn over in the future, or to eat and wait for death, there is always a hope.
It is precisely because of this that she resents the Li family who wants to take away her parents and son.
The Li family has relied on the honor of the early years, from the inconspicuous little Gege to the only two side blessings in the house, and there are children around the knee to accompany them, of which the second Gege Mo Yaqi has won the eyes of the fourth master's biological mother, Concubine De Niangniang, and has been raised in the palace, she Li has already lived so happily, and she is still so greedy, trying in vain to take away her Niu Hulu's only hope, then she Niu Hulu will not continue to endure so patiently.
Don't look at the Niu Hulu clan's Ama is just a petty official who is not in the stream, but the Niu Hulu clan has always been united, and there are many capable people in the clan, and his influence in the court is not ordinarily large.
Before, she loved face, reported good news to her family but not bad news, thinking that she couldn't lose face in front of her cousin, so she would be so down, but if even her only hope was taken away, then she still cared about the use of those empty things, and it was a big deal to tear her face and directly fight with Li's bar.
Niu Hulu, who had made up his mind, smiled confidently, raised his hand and touched the tender fetal hair on the little brother's head, and said softly: "For motherhood, I am not the silly girl in the West Courtyard who doesn't know how to use her family background, Bao'er will rest assured that she will raise her body here in Fujin, and after a few days, E-Niang will bring you back to her side in a beautiful manner." ”
After speaking, she glanced around the room with some vigilance, and saw that the two grandmothers did not notice what she said, so she smiled and came to the parent-child grandmother, gently entrusted the child to the grandmother's hand, and at the same time took out a purse containing two pearls the size of a dragon's eye from her sleeve and secretly stuffed it into the grandmother's hand.
Through the purse of the dark moire brocade, the grandmother touched the two beads of average size and dripping round inside, and her heart was happy, but her face was silent, but she put on a posture of resignation, holding the little brother in swaddling clothes with one hand, and stuffing the purse into Niu Hulu's hand with the other, "Gege, you are ......"
Niu Hulu didn't know Mama's careful thoughts, if she really took back her purse, then she would have completely offended Mama Yan in front of her, not to mention that she would take her parents and children back to her side in the future, and she would not be stingy with Mama Yan for a long time.
"With a little caution, you don't shirk it like this, let others see it, it's not good-looking. Niu Hulu deliberately turned around, made an angry look, and said with a straight face.
At the same time, she did not ignore the grandmother who took care of the little brother from the Wu family, but in the purse she sent, there was no longan-sized Nanzhu, and only a few second-class pearls that were not big or small to make earrings.
But even if it was such a reward, she believed that the grandmother would not be picky.
After all, the elder brother she took care of was from the Wu family, and if she wanted to give a reward, it should be given by the Wu family who had been buried underground, or by the side Fujin and Fujin in the mansions like the Li family and the Wulanala family, and the reward she gave was just to ask for face.
"The two grandmothers are still busy here, so I won't bother much. Laughing and talking to the two grandmothers for a while, seeing that their little brothers were already crying and going to sleep, Niu Hulu didn't stay any longer, got up and said, "Don't send it away to the two of you, so that the two little brothers don't get cold in the wind again." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked out.
Bypassing the corridor of the depicting beams and paintings, and passing through the Moon Cave Gate carved with the pattern of the Five Blessings Gate, Niu Hulu saw the Wulanala clan, expressed his loyalty, and then led Qingwei with a smile and went directly back to the courtyard.
Qingwei was a big helper arranged by her mother when she learned that she was grounded and suffered again, so she specially pawned a part of the dowry, took the silver to find a way, and arranged a big helper through the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
On weekdays, she has always been valued and trusted by Niu Hulu's family, and she also reads Niu Hulu's mother's help to her, so she is very loyal to Niu Hulu's family, and often takes the risk of angering Niu Hulu's to say some good words to remind her, and now seeing that Niu Hulu's mood seems to be good, she can't help but mention the matter when she got up early to ask for peace in the main courtyard, "Gege, what you are doing today is a little reckless." ”
"You haven't gotten a biological child yet, so I don't know how important this child is to me, but you'll understand when you have a child in the future. Niu Hulu shook his head with a smile, pointed to the small pestle in front of him, and motioned for Qingwei to sit down and speak.
Qingwei smiled noncommittally at Niu Hulu's words, and said in a low voice: "It's thanks to that Fujin didn't blame you for this, otherwise just based on your rude behavior, I'm afraid that Li Fang Fujin would be in trouble with you." ”
"In the future, I'll be more careful. Although what Qingwei said was not good, and there were some suspicions of praising the Li family, Niu Hulu was not stupid, especially after listening to the reminder of the Wulanala clan, where would she not understand that Qingwei was for her good.
It's rare that Niu Hulu's can listen to the words, Qingwei has a feeling of keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, and she is also light-hearted, just about to remind Niu Hulu's two sentences, she noticed a trace of ruthlessness flashing in Niu Hulu's eyes, and the big stone that just landed reached her throat again, "My good character, you won't be doing anything stupid, right?"
Although Fu Jin and Li Fang Fu Jin have embarrassed you many times before, but they are the serious masters of the jade, you can't come nonsense!"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid this time!" Sensing the worry in Qingwei's eyes and the nervousness in her tone, Niu Hulu nodded with a smile, beckoned her to come up in her ear, and said softly, "Before, I was too blind and arrogant, thinking that with my appearance, I would make the fourth master look at me differently, so I would make so many ridiculous moves, and now I will watch them in the dark, I don't believe that they will not make mistakes." ”
Although Qingwei didn't agree with Niu Hulu's actions, it was rare for Niu Hulu to be willing to use her brains, so she naturally wanted to encourage her more, "Gege, it's good that you can understand this." ”
"You ask someone to send a letter to my mother, and ask her to help me find two idle ladies with tight mouths and sharp ears. Niu Hulu raised his hand and beckoned Qingwei to follow, and said with a smile while taking out pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other guys from the brocade box under the round table.
In less than a moment, Niu Hulu wrote a letter of less than 100 words, sealed it with vermilion lacquer fire, and left a code with Eniang, and then grabbed a few golden melon seeds from the corner of the brocade box, and handed them to Qingwei along with the letter.
Arranged for Qingwei to send a letter to Eniang, Niu Hulu was not idle, beckoned the little palace maid to help, and took out the needlework she did before she got married from the moth-proof camphor wood box, and placed them on the round table one by one. The three of the Guerjia clan, and the other interstitial screens, were given to other Gege in the house.
To say that Niu Hulu's hand needlework, it is really better than the Suzhou embroidery girl in the house, but she has rarely calmed down to do these since she entered the house, and the embroidery work she did at home before was her painstaking work, a treasure, very rare, she was reluctant to use it herself, and she was reluctant to give it away, so she was put in the box in one go, planning to wait for her to be favored and become a side Fujin, to please those palace concubines and concubines, and to get a good reputation.
Now that she wants to figure it out, she will naturally not be the same as before.
The only drawback is that there is only the eldest son Honghui, who is not good, but this son is not good, but even so, her prestige in the mansion is definitely a scorpion (du).
And the two side Fujin, one Li helps take care of the middle feed in the house, and the other Guerjia is the person on the tip of the fourth master's heart, if you want to give gifts, of course you can't leave behind.
As the old saying goes, it's better to fall into a group than to leave one behind.
Since Chang Fujin and the two side Fujin have sent it, the other Gege who live in the same mansion will also have to send a copy.
Seeing that the inventory in the box was half gone at once, Niu Hulu's family was distressed, but she was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, and she was reluctant to let the daughter-in-law catch the hooligan, so she was willing to pay the capital in order to completely reverse her status in the eyes of the fourth master and improve her popularity in the house.
Thinking of this, Niu Hulu replaced the embroidery work that she planned to give to the Wulanala clan with a double-sided embroidery of red plum blossoms and rich flowers that she had spent three years of hard work to embroider, and replaced a hollow valley orchid that she planned to give to Xinggege with a high-quality Shu embroidery with moonlight on the pond, so she ordered the palace maid to put the other embroidery work into the box and store it, and turned her head to do the other things.
After choosing the embroidery work for the kang screen, you also need to choose the right wood for the frame.
Niu Hulu frowned and flipped through the small amount of silver tickets stored in the lower layer of the brocade box, and finally sighed a little helplessly, turned his head to the other big palace maid Yudie and ordered: "Go and get the file book from my courtyard's private library!"
Don't look at her family's Amma's official position, although it is not obvious, but there are a lot of good things in her hands, plus she is such a daughter in the family, and she Ama has never planned to let her marry the royal family, she is bent on finding a good husband for her, and she is married with red makeup, so she has just started to stay behind, and she Ama has collected a lot of good wood from all over the country from the south and north, and plans to make her a set of furniture that can be heirlooms, and the result is ......
She is very angry, greedy and vain, jealous of her cousin's scenery of going out to call slaves and maids, and insists on pestering her Ama to agree to let her enter the palace draft, and let her lose the election without doing anything, not only making her Ama dishonest in front of her colleagues, but also making herself the fourth master's character, so these dowries have no chance to cross the road outside.
But even so, although she Ama was angry with her, she still made these rare and good woods on the market her body, let her bring them into the Fourth Master's Mansion, and specially received a number of new gadgets at a low price from the caravan who came back from abroad, so that she would not lose face without gadgets.
If it weren't for the fact that she had too little silver in her hand, she would really be reluctant to use the materials in her body, those things were all good things for hundreds of years, not to mention that they were not available on the market, even in the Fourth Master's Mansion, it was also very rare, and it could only be seen in the palace.
Looking at the good wood that can attract crazy robberies when taken out one by one on the file, Niu Hulu's eyes were a little pantothenic, but he still gritted his teeth and chose a piece of high-quality rosewood and a few pieces of yellow rosewood, and then took out a silver ticket with a face value of fifty taels of silver from the brocade box, and told Yudie to go out of the house to find a skilled wood carver.
Good work with good materials, and with the embroidery work she does, I think this gift can make Wulanala and others like it, Niu Hulu looked at the embroidery work on the embroidery frame by the window, and thought secretly.
Qingwei, who was sent by Niu Hulu to deliver a letter to Eniang, soon returned to the courtyard, and saw that she was lying on the bed with half-squinted eyes, and went to the big kitchen again, and took Niu Hulu's portion of food back, and then waited for Niu Hulu to get up, "Gege, the slave and maid see that the dishes in the big kitchen are good today, you can eat more!"
As he spoke, he sent the chicken soup served for Niu Hulu's to Niu Hulu's eyes.
Although Wulanala's, Li's, Guarjia's Erfu and others don't eat the meals in the big kitchen, the ingredients used in the big kitchen are extremely fresh, and Old Man Liu's craftsmanship is not bad, plus Qingwei took the silver to open the way, so the chicken soup sent to Niu Hulu's eyes is a good thing that has been stewed with medicinal herbs for many years before it comes out of the pot, and the smell makes people appetizing.
According to the example, although Niu Hulu is not favored, she also has two full boxes of food for each meal, such as two meats, two vegetarian dishes, one soup, one dessert, and two snacks.
Of course, the rest of the food will not be wasted, all of it goes into the stomach of the servant who is serving in her yard, and it is only withdrawn after she eats, it is not as good as when it was just done, so she who wants to change her image, took a sip of chicken soup, and pointed to the two meat dishes in front of her, such as fried pork ribs with sugar and called flower chicken, and ordered with a smile: "These two meat dishes, you can take them while they are hot and eat them, I can't eat so much!"
