Chapter Seven Trouble
On the second day, Rong Hua got up early on purpose to pay his respects to Madame, and from a distance, he saw Ya Tou's mother carrying large and small boxes, sending the young lady back to the mansion. The steward of the Cui family was busy beside her, "Be careful."
The second young lady's maid, Xiao, hastily ran over, greeted Mrs. Cui with a bow, and respectfully handed her the box in her hand, "This is what the eldest young lady just sent someone to fetch."
Cui's mother took over, and Chu Xiao opened the lid of the box. "It's just two sachets." Chu Xiao's smile was warm and gentle, making anyone who saw her feel at ease.
Mrs. Choi smiled with satisfaction, just about to look into the box when Ah-hua, the senior maid beside Big Miss, rushed over and took the box without saying a word, causing Mrs. Choi's smile to freeze on her face.
Qiuhe said: "The young lady can't be without this, and she entrusted me to hand it over personally."
Choi's mom forced a smile, "Yes, I was just about to send it over to the young lady."
Qiuhe didn't hesitate and directly took the box away.
Qiuhe walked by Ronghua, stretched out her hand to cover the uncovered box, and a special fragrance wafted out of the box. Ronghua couldn't help but take another look at the brocade box in Qiuhe's hand.
The second young lady is still the same, fond of flowers and plants, and making fragrances. The second young lady has always been the kindest person in this mansion, and the maids in her room are just like her, making people feel harmonious, affectionate, and without any arrogant air.
Chun Yao introduced Rong Hua to Cui's mother, and Cui's mother was also a respected lady. Rong Hua cleverly called out, "Mother."
Choi's mother smiled and bowed to Yong-hwa, "Miss Eighth is going to Madame's place, right? Hurry up, the madam is waiting for you now."
Chun Yao led Rong Hua into the mistress's room, and as soon as they entered, they heard a sorrowful cry inside. It turned out that someone had arrived earlier than her. Through the glass screen, Rong Hua glanced sideways and saw Sixth Miss Yan Hua, whom she hadn't seen in three years. Yan Hua was even more beautiful than before, especially with her tears like pear blossoms in the rain, which evoked sympathy.
The big wife was comforting Yan Hua, "It's just a dream, you see this child is just too serious..."
Madam Chen also chimed in from the side: "As the old saying goes, dreams are the opposite. In my opinion, Sixth Miss's dream is extremely auspicious."
Miss Liu's tears were finally calmed down.
The old lady saw Rong Hua, beckoned her to come over, and then smiled kindly, "This is your sixth sister. She had a dream last night that I was ill, so she rushed here early in the morning. This child has a kind heart, and I'm not worried about her."
Rong Hua gazed at Yan Hua, whose eyes were red and puffy. Showing such filial piety so early in the morning... As a lady from a large aristocratic family, these petty tricks were nothing new to her. In her eyes, Yan Hua's performance was merely laughable.
If the lady was so easy-going, she wouldn't have been so reserved and cautious back then... If she hadn't been overwhelmed by joy in the end, she would have... Let's not bring up past matters.
The play of maternal love and filial piety must go on.
The lady pulled Ronghua and said a few words, no more than that the servants were not allowed to use it, and if they were not used to living there, they had to tell her.
The sun is out, Auntie takes a look at the weather outside and gets up, "Let's go, to your second sister's place."
Most of the ladies in the mansion have been married off, and after my elder sister was married to the Hou Mansion, the Tao Mansion suddenly became lively with one wedding after another. Now only the sickly second, sixth and eighth misses are left at home, as well as seventh, ninth and eleventh misses from the Second House of Tao Zhengqian's family, and tenth miss from the Third House of Tao Zhengchuan's family.
"Now there are only a few of you left in the mansion, so you should move around more often," said the madam to Sixth Miss. "Your eighth sister has just entered the mansion, and as her elder sister, you should take care of her more."
Yan Hua nodded and smiled, "Eighth sister is so beautiful, whoever sees her will like her." As she spoke, she also turned to look at Rong Hua, with friendly and affectionate eyes.
Rong Hua saw Yan Hua's eyes flashing, and she couldn't help but think of what her elder sister said last night, her heart skipping a beat.
Renhua is not a person who easily shows kindness to others. When her younger brother, who was less than a year old, died of an illness, her mother's fourth aunt fainted, but she didn't even ask about it and instead focused on serving the mistress in the main room who had caught a cold.
Now Yanhua is saying her good things in front of Mrs. Dai... while speaking, she also looks at Mrs. Dai's face, as if trying to guess some meaning from this sentence.
Yan Hua's diligent and urgent appearance... Rong Hua looked at the embroidered flowers on her sleeve, Yan Hua was not a restless person either, unless it was a critical moment.
Crucial moment.
That's her marriage.
Young ladies from humble backgrounds, in their struggles, are ultimately seeking a good marriage that will make others envious.
But what kind of marriage would make Yan Hua go to such great lengths?
The Tao family has married their daughters into very high-ranking families these past few times. Such a family background is still looked down upon by Yanhua...
Recalling her thoughts, she had already arrived in front of Second Miss's courtyard.
In the past three years, the greatest change has taken place here, and the scenery inside is also the most exquisitely constructed, all of which are liked by the second young lady. Although it is now deep autumn, the few rare trees in the courtyard still have a luxuriant appearance.
The lady looked at the tree and smiled, "I don't know where your father got this rare thing from. In autumn and winter, it's always like this. I liked it when I saw it, so last year I had someone plant one in my courtyard too. Who knew that by autumn, its leaves would wither and turn yellow? But the two trees in her courtyard just wouldn't wither."
"I originally thought this yard was warmer, so I let her live here, but I didn't expect that this girl would actually be living in a treasure land."
The lady said so with a smile gradually rising on her face.
Rong Hua turned her head sideways and looked over.
That bright and gentle smile, faintly, truly heartfelt kindness suddenly revealed without a doubt.
This is what true pampering looks like.
Only parents show affection towards their own children.
The old lady had not yet entered the house, and the second young lady had already come out to greet her. Seeing the old lady, the second young lady affectionately called out "Mother." Her eyes held a hint of a smile, her lips were a faint pink color, but lacked a bit of healthy luster, and her slightly pale face made one feel a pang of heartache whenever they looked at her.
The lady looked at him carefully again and said, "What's wrong? You look terrible."
Xiao hastily said: "Second Miss didn't sleep well last night, probably thinking of Fifth Miss again."
Rong Hua heard this and couldn't help but raise her head, subconsciously looking towards Yao Hua, only to find that Yao Hua was also staring at her.
The old lady sighed, "You have so many sisters, why can't you just make room for her in your heart?" She turned around and pulled over Rong Hua, "Your second sister and fifth sister were the closest, when your fifth sister left, she was heartbroken and cried herself sick."
"All these years, no matter how much I advised you, it was all in vain." The old lady took Yao Hua's hand again, "Now that's settled, you've also gained a younger sister, and coincidentally, this younger sister is also named Rong Hua. From now on, you two should get closer to each other, don't think about people from the past anymore. If you continue to torment your own body like this, I'll really be worried to death."
The madam brought the two people's hands together, and Rong Hua touched Yao Hua's fingertips, feeling a chill.
Yao Hua smiled warmly and said, "Hello, Eighth Sister."
Such a pure smile brought back the faint memory of many years ago. When she was young, every time she saw Yuhua's pale face and frail body, she couldn't help but get closer to her.
Yao Hua, although she was a legitimate miss, did not despise her illegitimate status. They read the same books, evaluated the same words, and their emotions were in sync, always being the closest sisters in the mansion.
Everyone accompanied Mrs. Zhang in the garden for a while, and Chen's mother came over to whisper a few words in Mrs. Zhang's ear, only then did she let everyone disperse.
Chun Yao accompanied Rong Hua into the house, and as soon as Rong Hua sat down, a maid brought in a cup of tea.
That girl was born clever and had a few points of cleverness in her eyebrows, and she politely greeted Rong Hua.
Chun Yao then said, "This girl is called Mu Jin, she was chosen by Mother Zhou, her hands and feet are quick, and her appearance is also good. Miss, try her out, if you find her useful, keep her by your side."
Rong Hua nodded, and she formally had a personal maid by her side.
Chun Yao said: "There are still some things that the lady has rewarded that have not been arranged properly, I will go and settle them first, and then come to serve."
After Chun Yao left, there were only two people left in the house, Rong Hua and Mu Jin.
Rong Hua gently lifted the teacup and slowly sipped her tea, while Mu Jin crouched down beside her to massage her legs. Her hands pressed against Rong Hua's right knee, rubbing it for a moment before looking up at her. "On such a cold day, Miss, is your old injury hurting?"
Miss Ba had fallen on her right leg when she was a child, and whenever the weather turned cold, the place where she fell would ache severely. When Rong Hua first woke up in this body, her old injury was acting up again. Her aunt bought some medicinal water from a foreign country and applied it several times before the pain gradually subsided.
In recent years, she has gradually become accustomed to this old illness. The dull pain that usually lingers is no longer a concern for her.
"It's much better now, it doesn't hurt that much." Mu Jin was the one who gave her this name. When she went to the Luangang burial ground to look at the tomb that the Tao family had found for her, she met Mu Jin there and brought this dying servant girl back with her.
It can be said that this is also fate.
Mugwort stood up and smiled, "Miss, I can finally see you."
Seeing the considerate maid, Rong Hua's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile, only for it to flash and disappear immediately. "Didn't we agree that I would think of a way to bring you by my side? How can you be so bold, little maid?"
Mu Ge looked at Rong Hua with a stern face, and immediately begged, "Good miss, I've been very careful. From the moment I entered the manor, I've always respected Mother Zhou, waiting for this day."
Ronghua sighed, fortunately, Zhou Mama was a greedy person. As the eighth miss born outside the mansion, her status was low, and the eldest madam had not given any special instructions, so Mugui took advantage of this loophole.
This matter was purely coincidental. If there had been a slight mistake, Mu Ge wouldn't have come here and she would have wanted to get this girl back amidst countless twists and turns.
Mugwort this girl still doesn't realize.
"Miss, you really scared me last night, fortunately you thought of a way to escape."
"Speaking of which, Rong Hua remembered, "Have you heard about Jinxiu's condition?"
Muxin shook his head, "The imperial physician in the mansion gave Jinxiu some medicine, but none of them worked. She's been lying in bed every day, mumbling and talking nonsense. According to Zhou Mama, if she doesn't get better in a few days, they'll have to carry her out of the mansion."
She didn't think Jinxiu would be so seriously ill.
