Chapter 20 Changing ends (above)

  The First Mistress ate dinner, the Eighth Miss came and brought a well made leg warmer.   The First Mistress happens to have some hidden pain in her legs these days, and smiles when she sees this, "It's rare to see your filial piety, I'll give it a try later."   Ronghua opened her mouth twice but didn't say anything, quietly looked to Chen mom beside the first wife, Chen mom smiled, only then did Ronghua say, "The first time mother used this, I'm afraid that the people around her can't serve well, why don't you let your daughter put it on now?"   The First Mistress laughed and said, "Where does this fit? This thing has to be worn close to the body, right? It is always inconvenient."   Rong Hua said, "This is for mother's treatment, the sooner you bring it, the better, and it won't work if you don't bring it properly."   Mother Chen also advised from the side, "The master is not at home and there is nothing else to do at night, why don't you give it a try, besides there is nothing convenient or inconvenient about this being a cure."   Dong Rui also said, "Mistress also said this morning that her legs were uncomfortable, and it's just right for eighth miss to send it now."   The First Mistress was persuaded by the crowd and stopped insisting, smiling kindly at Ronghua, "Then let's give it a try, it's just going to make you work hard."   Rong Hua smiled restrainedly, "What mother said, this is all what a daughter should be expected to do."   Mother Chen and Dong Rui helped to serve the First Mistress to lie down, Chun Yao and Mugen helped Rong Hua to prepare the hot ashes for warming her legs.   She also asked the maids to bring charcoal pots, Ronghua baked her hands hot, then took the medicinal oil to the First Mistress' bedside, Dongrui pulled up the jointed beads tent, the First Mistress leaned on the red embroidered backrest pillows, and her body was covered with a floral brocade quilt, Ronghua sat over there, and carefully exposed the First Mistress' knees, and slowly kneaded them with her hands.   Immediately, the first wife felt that the affected area was sore and painful, but after the soreness, there was a rare comfort. She glanced at Ronghua, her head was lowered and she was concentrating on her appearance, good and supple, the first wife remembered Shuhua on the day of her wedding she had seen the guests, but all the daughters-in-law of the marquis family were calm, gentle and generous, especially to the in-laws are rare filial piety, she was envious at that time, but it is a pity that there is no one around.   Like Shuhua this kind of temperament, even if you want to do everything possible to marry into the marquis, in front of the marquis wife, is not heart. Although research Hua has a few points of small smart, in-laws and aunts to fight for favor is still okay, but not on the big stage.   The medicinal oil seeped through the skin became red and soft, Ronghua took the leg warmer from Chunyao's hand, then raised her head to look at the First Mistress, "It will be a bit hot, mother bear with it."   First Mistress nodded. Rong Hua with a burst of energy put the leg warmer carefully on the knees of the First Mistress, and then tied it with a strap, everyone looked at the appearance of the First Mistress, the First Mistress smiled and nodded her head, "Where is it hot, it is just right, it seems to dispel all the coolness in it, this thing is really a good use."   Rong hua resumed to rub the other leg, but the first wife did not comply, "you are tired for half a day, just command the maids to do it, you sit over to take a rest."   Dong Rui took over the hand and pressed Rong Hua on the bed, "Mistress cares for Miss, Miss just taught me."   Rong Hua seems to be a bit flattered, only smiling coyly at the side, teaching Dong Rui while helping.   The two leg warmers are brought up, Ronghua sees the First Mistress' eyelids sinking a bit, so she thoughtfully excuses herself.   The First Mistress raised her eyes and smiled, "Don't be anxious, I suddenly remembered that the winter clothes for your sisters are ready, so you just choose a set you like first." Saying so, she asked mom Chen to go and open the box cage.   As soon as the box cage is opened, Ronghua walks over to see, inside neatly several sets of winter shirts are placed in three stacks, clearly it is the share of three people, she entered the house but only a few days ago, moreover no one has come to her to measure the size, now the winter clothes are already done.   The First Mistress just she told her that even if she was outside the mansion, the First Mistress was not completely ignorant of her situation.   Her and Yaohua, research Hua's physique is not divided, these clothes no matter who of them are wearable, the big wife let her pick, ostensibly because she did something to make the big wife happy, in fact ...... it is not that simple.   The box cage is not only winter clothes, there are newly made phoenix-tailed pleated skirt, Confucian jacket and lapel pasted.   These clothes with material exquisite and she brought back from outside the house of those can not be compared, alone Ronghua did not have such beautiful clothes, even if it is the study of China, but also will not necessarily have.   No matter which girl looks at the beautiful clothes will like, Ronghua chose a set of both style and color is not eye-catching but also generous set.   The First Mistress looked at it and smiled kindly, "Good, quickly go down and rest!"   Ronghua and Chunyao retreated, and the First Mistress instructed Chen Mama, "Have Yanhua come in and choose a set of clothes as well."   Mother Chen hurriedly went to find Miss Six.   Yan Hua entered the First Mistress's house and didn't notice any difference between the house and the usual, Chen Mama led her to open the box and cage, seeing these clothes, Yan Hua was only happy to see them, without saying a word, she reached out her hand and picked and picked and finally took a set of the most colorful Hundred Butterflies in Flower Ru Zao, underneath was a colorful dark flower damask pleated skirt, Yan Hua lifted the clothes up to take a look at them and smiled so much that she had a pink face.   Getting these clothes, Rhenhua suddenly thought, "Where is mother?"   Chen mother said, "The first wife in the warm pavilion to rest, ordered me to wait for the young lady to see the clothes."   Yan Hua then did not ask another question.   Chen mother couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth coldly, the clothes can be picked so carefully, the tiny difference still have to count some, but have no patience to care about her mother again.   Research Hua lifted up the clothes and asked Xiang Qiao next to her, "How about this one?"   This kind of workmanship of the clothes is naturally elegant, Xiangqiao also followed the joy, "Not as bright as that one, but Miss wear the same beautiful."   Yan Hua threw the rest of that pick back into the box cage, "I think so, the bright colors are the ones that match me." Taking all of the clothes before saying to mother Chen again, "I'll come back tomorrow morning to greet mother."   Mother Chen naturally smiled and was polite.   The sixth young lady has really been reckless all these years, the first wife pointed her out once, but she still hasn't restrained herself, she is still like this, the wife's efforts all these years are considered to have been in vain.   Chen mother to send yan hua out, yan hua found that Chen mother did not past to her warmly, but also when it is and last time in the blue gauze cupboard she was the first wife scolded about, heart secretly scolded the lackeys are dog-eyed, the mouth has another words, "these years mother always think of me first, even though it is scolded me, that's because I'm sweet, you are aware of, only close people will be like this. "   Chen mom laughed coldly in her heart, but on her mouth she said, "Miss said yes." In the past, the sixth miss did give her some benefits, she accepted it also because she knew that the first wife had no one to use except the sixth miss, now that the situation has changed, the tolerance in her heart for the sixth miss ran away without a trace.   Chen mom returned to the house.   The First Mistress is closing her eyes to recuperate, "Which one did you choose?"   Chen mother said, "Sixth miss compared it, or the bright colors set her off better."   First Mistress sneered, "No wonder it took so long."   Mother Chen said, "It is also true that young ladies love beauty."   The First Mistress' face was very bad, "I'm just afraid that apart from superficiality, they won't be able to do anything else."   Mom Chen stood aside and stopped talking.   The First Mistress sighed only after a long time, "Shuhua is a non-calculating one, it seems that I still have to make up my mind on this matter."   Ronghua handed the clothes to Mugun, who joyfully accepted them, "This set of clothes is just right to wear in the next two days."   Chun Yao also laughed, "Yes, in a few days for the winter solstice ancestor worship, miss will wear this set of clothes."   Ronghua nodded.   Chun Yao brought tea and added, "Mistress let Miss go pick out the clothes first, so it's obvious that she is satisfied with Miss."   Chun Yao had never said such words before, Rong Hua had always treated her intimately, so Chun Yao truly thought about Rong Hua, and today she purposely took a closer look.   Although the First Mistress did not say anything on her lips, in her heart she was truly satisfied with the Eighth Miss.   Ronghua feel tired, early to sleep, Mu Geen put down the curtain, will be extinguished, since sleeping in the warmth of the outside of the pavilion, Chunyao sleep in the outer room, after a while, Mu Geen heard no sound in the outer room, know that is Chunyao fell asleep, and then slowly sat up, through the moonlight to go to the inside, and gently called out Ronghua, Ronghua opened his eyes, his eyes shining all without sleepiness.   Mugun said, "Miss, I heard from the maids below that there is a bone-setter coming into the house today to give the second miss a medical treatment."   This is not surprising, the First Mistress often finds some reputable bone-setter to come into the house to check the Second Miss's pulse.   "When the bone-setter left, the First Mistress even personally sent him out."   Exactly what kind of bone-setter could make the First Mistress care so much. Rong Hua carefully recalled the scene when she saw the First Mistress today, the First Mistress had been stretching her brows and smiling especially a lot.   If she remembers correctly, in the past, but whenever a bone-setter checked Second Miss's pulse, the First Mistress's mood would drop.   Could it be that this time was different from previous times? Second Miss's illness was, perhaps, curable?   If so, then no matter how much she planned, everything would be too late ......   In the First Mistress's heart, no one could shake that person's position, and as long as that person got well, the rest would all be reduced to pawns.
