Chapter 789
Aunt Chen helped her daughter to rest on the bed, and then asked Shaoyao to find Mrs. Tang, poured hot water into Mo Meixiang's hands and covered her with her. She was someone who had been there and knew the difficulties of her daughter's family, which moved Mo Meixiang even more.
But soon Mo Meixiang couldn't be moved anymore.
"Mei'er, you're not feeling well. Madam, did you say anything else?" After settling her daughter, Aunt Chen hurriedly asked. Although her daughter's family background requires some suffering, she is still a big deal at home.
It's a happy event, Gu should express it.
When the eldest young lady and the third young lady got married, Mrs. Gu rewarded them with clothes and jewelry. Her daughter was not as good as the eldest lady, but she could always be compared with the third young lady, Mo Mianxiang.
The smile on Mo Meixiang's face fell when she heard this. She would hear such words a few times every year. Whenever she had the slightest chance of being rewarded, Aunt Chen would ask her this.
Now her mother is asking her for something.
Mo Meixiang felt a headache, and Mrs. Tang holding her stomach was even more irritated, but looking at Aunt Chen's burning eyes, the greed in them made her panic and didn't know how to deal with herself, so she could only close her eyes and whispered: "Mom, daughter
I was so tired that I didn't hear what my mother said clearly."
Aunt Chen didn't realize that Mo Meixiang was dissatisfied with herself, and she slapped her face in displeasure: "Girl, why are you so obsessed with such a big matter? Look at Mian girl, it's just such a small thing.
Madam rewarded me with two gold hairpins, a pair of fine bracelets, and materials for clothes and shoes, why can't you let me save my worries?"
As she listened, Mo Meixiang felt her head hurt even more. She felt so groggy that she wanted to faint, but she didn't faint. Instead, her consciousness became clearer. She heard Aunt Chen ask Shaoyao angrily: "Shaoyao, you are here, what did you say?"
What did the lady say then?"
This damn girl is so careless that she forgets such an important thing when someone brings her back in a soft sedan. It really makes her angry to death.
Shaoyao was as afraid of Aunt Chen as Mo Meixiang, and did not dare to speak unless she saw her. Now that her name was called, she hurriedly repeated what Gu said: "Madam asked the embroiderer to make two new clothes for the lady, and also asked
Duobao Pavilion will send two more sets of noodles in the future."
Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed. She originally thought that Mrs. Gu would only reward the two students with clothes and some ordinary jewelry, but she didn't expect that she would ask Duobao Pavilion to send them. That was the jewelry given to the eldest and second misses every month.
In this shop, even if the eldest and second young ladies pick out the leftovers, it will be a special honor to wear them.
"Mei'er really has you, Shaoyao, go and have a look. Why hasn't Liuxian come back yet?" Aunt Chen said with concern. Shaoyao saw that Mo Meixiang didn't look well, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of Aunt Chen, so she had to
When I came out, I saw Hong Hu standing under the eaves, and her face suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Sister Hong Hu is here, why don't you come in?" Shaoyao asked in a low voice, while asking Hong Hu to come in.
Hong Hu had been here for a while, to be precise, she came in when Aunt Chen started to ask what kind of reward Mo Meixiang could get. It was when she heard the sounds in the room that she felt embarrassed and couldn't move forward or retreat.
"We just arrived. The young lady said that the Fourth Miss was not feeling well and ordered me to bring something to the Fourth Miss." Knowing who Aunt Chen was, Hong Hu naturally would not tell the truth and did not go in. She just gave the baggage to Shaoyao and went back.
Already.
Shaoyao was not stupid. When he saw this, he naturally guessed that she had heard everything, so he had to take the things in and report the matter to Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen was thinking about the reward that Gu said, and she naturally looked down upon the little bundle that Mo Shang had sent. When Mo Meixiang heard that her eldest sister had sent something, she hurriedly got up and asked Shaoyao to open it and take a look.
.
"You girl, I'm letting you lie down, what are you doing when you get up?" Aunt Chen hurriedly lectured, while pressing Mo Meixiang back into the bed, she winked at Shaoyao and asked her to open it.
The baggage was not big, containing only a few feet of soft cotton and two yellow paper bags.
Aunt Chen despised her even more when she saw it, but seeing that Mo Meixiang cared, she still asked Shaoyao to open the paper package. This stinky girl was now her money tree, so she had to obey her.
Thinking that the madam has prepared such good things for her daughter, she will definitely choose a good in-law for her daughter, and she will be able to enjoy happiness by then.
Shaoyao opened the yellow paper package. One contained brown sugar and the other contained maltose cut into small pieces. There was also a message beside it, saying that if she felt uncomfortable, use two pieces of sugar.
In wealthy people's homes, they are all common things. Aunt Chen secretly said she was stingy. When she saw Mo Meixiang took a piece of maltose, she also looked like she was not a useful person. This made Aunt Chen dissatisfied and she reached out and knocked over the candy.
.
"Tomorrow, I will ask Liuxu to buy sesame candies for you." It was rare for Mrs. Chen to be generous, but Mo Meixiang no longer needed her generosity. She looked at Shaoyao and hurriedly picked up the maltose candies and threw away the piece in her hand.
"Mom, don't waste the money." Mo Meixiang whispered, shrinking back into bed, "Mom, my daughter is tired."
Aunt Chen only thought that she was feeling unwell and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, you have a rest first and go to the kitchen to take a look for me."
Mo Meixiang pursed her lips and hummed, then opened her eyes when she heard Mrs. Gu went out.
"Miss, it's still clean." Shaoyao said hurriedly. The room was cleaned and there was no dust on it.
Mo Meixiang pursed her lips: "Put it away, don't let mother see it."
Shaoyao nodded and put everything in the cabinet so that his aunt wouldn't see it.
Mo Meixiang looked at the peony and couldn't help but think of the pair of pearl flowers that her eldest sister gave her. If her mother knew about it, she would go there, and they could sell it for a lot of money.
"Shaoyao, where are the pearl flowers given by the eldest sister?" Mo Meixiang asked. She took it with her when she went to Qiuwu Courtyard this morning. She originally wanted to return it to the eldest sister, but she never found the chance.
"My slave is keeping it." Shaoyao replied hurriedly, taking out the small box from her arms and putting it away when she was undressing Momei Xiang. Fortunately, the second lady was not in the back room at that time, otherwise, if the second lady had seen it,
I'm afraid it will be another trouble.
Mo Meixiang took it over and took a look. Seeing that the things inside were intact, she hurriedly asked Peony to put it away: "Don't let my aunt know."
Shaoyao nodded: "Don't worry, miss, I won't tell my aunt."
What kind of temperament does Aunt Chen have? She wants to get a piece of the money out of the frying pan. If she finds something of such value to the young lady, she will definitely not let it go.
Originally, it was reasonable for a mother to collect valuable things for her daughter. Aunt Chen only had one daughter, Mo Meixiang, so she didn't have to worry about her using it to support her brothers. However, Aunt Chen was only thinking about money, and she was afraid that it would go into her pocket.
Can't get it back.
Although the Mo family is rich, the glory is only for the legitimate daughter. A concubine has to pay a price if she wants to get ahead. Even if she is unlucky, she may not even have the chance to pay the price. Therefore, as a concubine, her dowry is meager, so she still has to pay the price.
Rely on your own daily savings.
Normally, although Mo Meixiang knew that Aunt Chen was trying to coax her, she didn't hesitate, but this time she was really sad, and she didn't want anyone to take the things her eldest sister gave her.
Seeing that Peony had hidden something, Mo Meixiang still felt dizzy. When she closed her eyes, she felt like the world was spinning, but she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was in a trance. She suddenly remembered that Qing Xi had said that the eldest lady was still kneeling. She hurriedly opened her eyes and asked Shaoyao
: "Shaoyao, I seem to have heard from Aunt Qingxi that the eldest sister is still kneeling. What's wrong?"
Shaoyao knew that the eldest lady was good to her, so she whispered: "Miss, I didn't hear clearly what was going on. I only heard the lady asking the eldest lady if she knew she was wrong, and the eldest lady knelt down." After that, she saw Mo Meixiang.
Frowning in worry, he said hurriedly, "But the eldest lady was no longer outside when we came back, and now that Hong Hu has sent us something, she must be fine."
After hearing this, Mo Meixiang realized that she was nervous, so she could only purse her lips and smile: "Thanks to my eldest sister for helping me today."
Shaoyao nodded: "No, if the eldest lady hadn't come, the second lady wouldn't have known how long she would have been reluctant to go. It was obviously you who was recommended by the second lady."
The smile on Mo Meixiang's face fell again, and she shrank back: "Shaoyao, you go out and guard."
After Shaoyao finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, but she was really unwilling to do so. It was clearly the second young lady who forced the young lady to go there today, and it was the second young lady who secretly pushed the young lady, so that the young lady fell down and bumped into Mr. Chu.
Only then would he accidentally tear off his sachet.
But the second young lady took advantage of the outsider's presence and scolded the young lady. If the eldest lady hadn't come, the young lady wouldn't know how long she would have to kneel.
