Chapter 9 Countermeasures (below)
Chun Yao took the Buddha beads to the First Mistress to explain the original reason.
Mother Chen said, "This method has never been heard of by anyone before, but there are similar local methods."
The First Mistress reached out and took the string of Buddha beads, thought about it with a sad expression on her face and sighed, "Jinxiu this child has been by my side for some time now, I really can't bear to part with her, it's just that there are so many people in the mansion, and with all the chaos in the house on a regular basis, this illness can't be nourished."
Chen mother hurriedly said: "Mrs. don't worry, outside the matter I have already arranged, should give Jinxiu medical treatment silver money a not less. I will instruct her family to take good care of her and come back in when she is well."
First Mistress said, "Although I have done my best, but I also can't let go of this girl in my heart," rubbing the Buddha beads in her hand, "It's not difficult to recite a few scriptures, I'll just try to do my part, in case it doesn't work ...... "
Chen mother smiled and chimed in, "To be able to let your wife think of you like this, is also Jinxiu's good fortune."
The First Mistress stopped talking, closed her eyes, rolled the Buddha beads in her hand and recited the sutra twice, then handed it to Chun Yao, "You go and try, don't be too sad if it doesn't work."
Chun Yao nodded his head and said yes.
Chun Yao was just about to leave when the First Mistress suddenly asked, "You said this string of beads belongs to the Eighth Miss?"
Chun Yao said, "It is the eighth miss'."
The First Mistress said, "So Miss Eighth believes in Buddhism?"
Chun Yao nodded, "In addition to the Buddha beads, there are some scriptures, Buddhist incense and incense burners at eighth miss's place, and last night before I went to bed, eighth miss even asked me to light a Buddhist incense."
The First Mistress did not speak, only after half a day did she slightly jaw, "It's good to believe in Buddha, it's good that people will always have something to believe in."
Chun Yao sent the Buddha beads to Jin Xiu, the First Mistress and Chen Mama were talking in the house.
"Have you prepared for tomorrow?"
Mother Chen said, "It's all arranged, and the young ladies have all been notified."
The First Mistress took a sip of tea, "Yaohua's body isn't well, and it's only the Sixth and Eighth Misses in the house."
Chen mom hurriedly said, "Yes."
"That matter is more important than anything, we can't choose the wrong person."
Mom Chen said again, "Yes."
First Mistress narrowed her eyes, "All guess what's really on my mind."
Chen mother laughed, "But no one can guess what is really in the heart of Mrs. ......"
First Mistress said, "That is not necessarily, the master favors who, accidentally say something to ...... the House of people bullying, and then have any plans, such a thing is not unprecedented before."
Chen mother remembered the former fifth young lady, would even rely on the master's favor, and man privately engaged for life.
First Mistress glanced at Mama Chen, "Sixth Miss has been coming around a lot lately."
Chen mom said, "Yes, today at noon, she even entrusted someone to send me an altar of inverted jar of vegetables from her hometown, I was wondering if I should send it back to her." Sixth Miss is also too impatient, even early in the morning crying and running, not to mention the First Mistress, is she a glance also recognized a true and false.
The first wife's voice is low, "Confused, what is given to you, you take it, otherwise she is not at ease." The First Mistress smiled coldly, "It's nothing, but I want you to put in a good word for her in front of me."
"I just hate it when someone plots something behind my back, getting a few ears to ask around for information, and doing some unsettling things behind my back, especially those that seem well-behaved, may not really be that obedient."
The corner of the Great Mistress's eye raised, "I just want to take advantage of tomorrow's banquet to see who will make a move."
Chen mother quietly came together in the big wife's ear and said a few words, "Do you think this will work ......," the voice gradually smaller. First Mistress smiled faintly, gradually stretching her brows.
Jinxiu was Chen mother arranged in a slightly clean room of the subordinate, with two maids take turns to take care of, Chen mother has sent people to tell tomorrow Jinxiu's family to come to pick up, people are leaving, the House will not have someone to wait carefully, just on time to send the soup and medicine.
Jinxiu open eyes, a moment feel the whole person become light, like a kite as soon as take off, as long as cut off a line connected, will fly without a trace, a moment also feel very heavy body, even gasping for breath to have no strength.
She was tired, too tired, but did not dare to close her eyes, as if once she closed her eyes, the boundless darkness would invade her.
She was afraid, back then she heard the First Mistress and Mother Chen talking outside the window, and as a result, that night, the Fifth Miss died of an acute illness.
She should have gone to tell fifth miss, if she had done that, perhaps fifth miss would not have died.
She was just too scared, it was as if there were countless eyes staring at you in this mansion, she didn't dare to move, let alone take a wrong step.
Now that fifth young miss has come back, it is because of resentment, it must be resentment against her.
Jinxiu heard someone calling her name in a daze, she reluctantly turned her head, there seemed to be a silhouette in front of her, only she couldn't see it clearly.
"Jin Xiu," the person's voice was clear, "I know what you saw in Fifth Miss's house."
The words came out faintly, causing her to jolt awake.
The scene in front of her eyes was suddenly clear, she saw a pair of clear eyes, it was ...... Miss Eight.
The eighth young lady took out a white silk silk, and the breeze blew gently, and the silk silk floated on her face.
Jinxiu's heart snapped, the circumstances of that night came back to her mind, she kept telling everyone, but no one believed her.
"Jin Xiu." The eighth young lady smiled slightly, her smile warm and peaceful, "Jin Xiu, it's me you're seeing."
It took Jin Xiu a long time to wake up from her shock.
"It's me."
There won't be anyone who will describe all this so clearly, there won't be anyone who knows so meticulously, unless it's in the same room as her ...... But how did Miss Eight dare, how did she dare to say everything at this time, is Miss Eight not afraid that she will go to the First Mistress to say ......
The eighth young lady s gaze is clear, without half a bit of hesitation and fear.
"Jinxiu, the only one who can decide life and death is you. To others it is insignificant, to you, life is only once, the only only once."
Jin Xiu came back to her senses, and there was no longer anyone in front of her eyes as it was empty.
After a while, only soft footsteps could be heard outside, Jinxiu looked over sideways, Chun Yao walked towards her with a string of Buddha beads.
Chun Yao's words gradually entered her ears, "The Buddha beads were given by the eighth young lady ...... The First Mistress recited the scriptures ...... I put it under your pillow, maybe it will work... ..."
Chun Yao put the Buddha beads away properly, said some comforting words and left.
Jinxiu only felt unusually tired and finally closed her eyes heavily.
Early the next morning, the young ladies of the mansion woke up to freshen up.
The grooming maids all retired, and Mugun gave the eighth young lady the opportunity to straighten out the pendant around her waist, "I heard from the people in the mansion that the second master was introduced by the aunt to go to the left wing zongxue, which is only available to noble hun's children."
Not long after, the granny outside came in to talk to Mugun, "The marquis' wife is coming to the house, we need to prepare carefully for the young lady, the first wife said, don't lose your manners in front of the guests." Said the maid behind holding a vermilion lacquer gold inlaid box, "These are the first wife let send."
Mugun nodded and took it.
The granny added, "The second master is also going to be there, the eighth miss and the second master haven't met yet, you need to be careful to mention it when you're around the eighth miss."
Mugun added, "Yes."
Mu Hibiscus went into the house, taking advantage of Chun Yao's absence, she quietly said to Rong Hua, "Sure enough, it's someone from the Marquis' residence, no wonder it's so grand." She opened the box in her hand for Ronghua to see.
Inside the box there were three walking sticks, a few palace flowers of piled yarn and a few copper and bead emerald butterfly hair clips.
Mu Hibiscus couldn't help but rejoice at the sight, "Miss, let's see which one you want to wear? Or change a more colorful clothes? This blue printed rosebud pastie is always a bit ......"
Rong Hua smiles and gets up, "It's time to go greet mother." The Marquis' wife is coming to the mansion, how could the First Mistress bring her to accompany the guests? On reasoning that she had only just entered the mansion, many of the rules were still unknown, how could she not be allowed to attend such a grand occasion, not only that but she also sent a granny to send these things, this was also too much of a favor to her.
In the end, what is the reason? I'm afraid it's more than just to test her.
All changes are the same, she just need to be a good daughter, there will be no mistake.
Rong Hua went out of the courtyard, and Mugen followed anxiously, ''Miss, what exactly do you have planned? The marquis' wife passing through the house is a good opportunity, with the young lady's appearance, dressing up will definitely make the marquis' wife pay attention, besides, if the first wife sends these things, isn't it obvious that she wants the young ladies to dress up prettier and show them to the marquis' wife?"
Ronghua said lightly, "What can be done to make Mrs. Marquis like it?"
Mugun stared wide-eyed, although she had not spent much time beside the eighth young lady, but she also knew that the eighth young lady had that heart for the marquis's aunt, back then, I heard the aunt say that back then, when the eighth young lady heard the news of the marriage of the eldest sister and the aunt, her face was so pale that it was scary, and the seventh aunt even advised the eighth young lady, "Whoever told the others to be a first-born young lady has that kind of destiny, even though it's a declining nobility hun, the ancestor always had a title. Ancestors always had a title, maybe one day ......."
It turned out that the seventh aunt was really right.
Now there is just this opportunity, Miss did not give birth to a son and a half, if the ordinary family is also even, the Zhao family's first-born son that is to inherit the title, the first wife in order to stabilize the position of Miss will certainly have some action, it is unlikely to trust the foreign bloodline.
Not my kind of heart will be different, this kind of words, Mu Ge has also heard.
Mugun then said, "With the talent and appearance of the young lady, in the future after the door and then the eldest son, the position of the wife sooner or later is the young lady."
"It is said that the Aunt did not marry the concubine because of Missy, who doesn't know, isn't there a line of 'jealousy' in the Seven Exits?"
Rong Hua glanced at Mu Ge, "You still know about the 'seven out'?"
Mugun instantly blushed, lowered her head and whispered, "I also listened to the grannies chewing their tongues."
"So what if you can be a proper wife?" Ronghua looked at the red lantern spikes swaying in the wind, fluttering ecologically and gracefully.
Thinking back to the first time she saw him, his clear pupils were like the river under the moon, the breeze was light, his sleeves fluttered up, and his posture was as handsome as a Zhilan jade tree.
How many times we met, his eyes with a smile, full of deep love.
She secretly thought about marrying him and staying with him for a long time.
Just now ......
Mugun was surprised, "Could it be that Miss doesn't want to marry into the Yi Cheng Marquis? But there is no better marriage than this."
Ronghua smiles slightly, "That's not necessarily true."
A person like the First Mistress would not put everything on the Yi Cheng Marquis.
What's more, the Yi Cheng Marquis Mansion has not been ...... ordinary these past few years.
It was too risky to have one honor and one loss.
Mugun's eyebrows jumped slightly, "So, Miss, you are doing this because you want the First Mistress to like you more?"
Although the set of rules and regulations is sound, after all, it is too slow, to get close to a person's heart, it may not be necessary to be this cautious, "I have a faster method."
