Uncle (16)
The marriage has been decided, and Wan Siqing herself did not expect it to be so soon. Generally, wedding dresses have to be sewn by oneself, although for girls from wealthy families, most of them are sewn by the embroiderer early. The girl wanted to sew a few stitches and treat it as her own. But who told Wan Siqing to lose her parents since she was a child?
This kind of thing is usually handled by the mother-in-law in the family. Which embroiderer to find, whether to let one embroiderer embroider or divide it into several embroiderers, and how long it takes to complete the embroidery, all aspects must be considered.
But Mrs. Wan was disgusted and rejected Wan Siqing before it was too late. How could she think of doing this for her?
Mr. Wan is a man. He has never been exposed to these things since he was a child. Naturally, he does not know that girls have to prepare these things since they were young. The old lady is old and has only two sons but no daughter. After so many years, she has long forgotten This batch.
As Wan Siqing is a girl who has not yet left the court, if she mentions this kind of thing, it means that Sichun is shameless. She must not mention it, but if she doesn't mention it, she will get married without a wedding dress, so she can only go there in a hurry Buy it and use it.
And if her future mother-in-law sees that her wedding dress is not very fine, she will definitely not say anything on her face, but in her heart she will definitely feel that this daughter-in-law is not favored by her parents. If she meets an evil mother-in-law who is evil in her heart, Wan Siqing's life in her husband's family was difficult.
These are probably what Mrs. Wan is thinking. After all, she is just an aunt. Even if the old lady finds out the clues and asks about it, she can also say that she is busy taking care of the housework in the house and can't take care of it at all. After all, Wan Siyuan's wedding dress However, Wan Siqing had already decided on an embroiderer while her parents were still alive, so the old lady couldn't use the excuse "You want your own daughter but not your niece" to blame her.
As an aunt, it was already very interesting for her to take care of Wan Siqing. If she were to blame her for this reason again, it would not be good for Wan Siqing's reputation.
Wan Siqing naturally didn't know what Mrs. Wan was thinking, but she wouldn't let herself see herself without a wedding dress like Mrs. Wan thought.
Fortunately, she still remembered things when her parents were around and knew how important wedding clothes were to a woman. Therefore, after realizing that no one in the house thought of taking care of her wedding dress at her old age, she took a copy of the silver taels herself. I asked someone to buy fabrics and wedding dress styles, and I made them bit by bit.
She was just counting the days, but Wan Siqing didn't expect that she would get married so early. According to Mrs. Wan's appearance, she should have wanted to delay her.
In fact, Wan Siqing knew many things in her heart. She knew that Mrs. Wan and her mother didn't get along at first, and Mrs. Wan was not a tolerant person. By such a coincidence, Wan Siqing's parents both passed away, and she was regarded as their beloved by her parents. The precious person became an orphan and fell into the hands of Mrs. Wan.
But even if she knew, what could she say?
Mrs. Wan copied the Buddhist scriptures to take to the temple and burn them to pray for her dead parents.
As a daughter, she is not even willing to pray for her parents?
The food delivered from the kitchen was not good, either cold or undercooked, or the food that belonged to Wan Siqing had been replaced by something else. But she, a seemingly beautiful young lady, was actually just an orphan.
Even if he asked the old lady for help, the old lady was old. If something happened along the way, Wan Siqing would have no support, and he would offend the servants in the house, making life even more difficult in the future.
Please beg Master Wan. After all, he is a man and cannot always be in charge of things in the house. After all, Wan Siqing still has to be under the control of Mrs. Wan. If she sues a subordinate, it will be an offence. If she sues Mrs. Wan, it will be disrespectful. Filial and ungrateful.
No matter how you go, it's a typo.
This is also the reason why Wan Siqing has been silently enduring it. In this situation, what else can she do except endure it.
But it's fine now.
Sitting by the window, facing the brightness outside, the girl, with hope for the future, sewed the wedding dress that was about to be completed stitch by stitch.
In fact, even if she followed the previous rhythm, she could sew before getting married. But now that the wedding date has been set, Wan Siqing no longer took her time as before, but speeded up the sewing time and speed. Try to finish sewing the wedding dress as early as possible.
Therefore, Wan Siqing spends more and more time in the room these days. Except for going to greet Mrs. Wan in the early morning, she almost spends the rest of the time hiding in the room sewing her wedding dress.
While sewing one stitch at a time, Wan Siqing suddenly heard an announcement coming from outside. She turned her head and saw the girl opening the curtain to salute her, and a smile appeared on her face: "Is the second sister coming to see me?"
The girl immediately flattered and smiled: "A girl is a girl. Before I even said who it was, the girl had already guessed that the second girl was here."
Wan Siqing smiled and shook her head: "Besides the second sister, who else would come to see me."
Male elders generally do not come to the girl's room. The old lady is so old and rarely goes out of her own room. Mrs. Wan is just an aunt and is not close to Wan Siqing, so of course she will not come.
There are only three girls in the house. The young master is a boy and lives in the front yard. He usually does not come to the sisters. Wan Siyuan and Wan Siqing have never been close, so after the marriage was settled, they often came to see them. The only one Wan Siqing has is Wan Sihe.
Sure enough, within a few seconds, Wan Sihe opened the curtain and came in. When he saw Wan Siqing still holding needle and thread in his hand, he smiled and said, "It's unfortunate that I came here and disturbed my sister's sewing of the wedding dress."
"It's nothing. It's just a few shots away."
Ever since Wan Sihe knew that she was busy sewing her wedding dress, she rarely came to Wan Siqing's yard. Apparently she was afraid of disturbing her. Now that she suddenly came, Wan Siqing thought that she might have something to talk to him about. He said, smiling, and asked the girl to put away the wedding dress.
Wan Sihe had come to her place many times, and she was already familiar with the roads. She found a seat and sat down. While taking the tea from the girl, she tilted her head and smiled at Wan Siqing:
"Third sister, you are about to become Princess Yao. Why is the courtyard still so cold and cold? When I came in just now, I saw that all of them were silent. It seemed to be even colder than before."
Wan Siqing smiled and sat next to her; "My uncle asked me to do this, how can I be so arrogant?"
After saying that, she said to the girls in the room: "I want to have a conversation with the second sister, you go down first."
As soon as this order was given, the little girls who were busy working in the house immediately became happy and went out without even stumbling.
Soon, only the two sisters were left in the room.
Wan Sihe looked at the curtain that was still shaking slightly as the girls went out with some envy: "Third sister, you know how to train and teach the servants. Look at how obedient the girls in your yard are. They don't look like my yard." The girls there are always quarrelsome and noisy, even though they have been tried several times to no avail. "
It's not just because she is a concubine who needs to be looked up to, no one treats her as their master.
Wan Siqing saw the second sister's face was sad and knew that she had thought of her own pain, so she quickly said, "I know how to train and teach my servants. Since they learned about this marriage, they have become more respectful than before. , these second sisters should also know."
That’s right.
Wan Sihe thought that after her marriage was settled, the servants knew that her fiancé was a civil servant, came to the capital to take the exam, and might become an official in the future, so they indeed respected her much more than before.
Feeling relieved, she praised again; "Third sister, you are too modest. Before the marriage was decided, the girl in your yard was very obedient. It shows that you are a very good queen."
This is quite true.
No matter how miserable Wan Siqing was in the mansion, she was still the eldest daughter of the second wife in the mansion. She had learned from her mother, so she could not even manage her own yard.
It's just that she didn't have the confidence before. Even if she had the means, some girls still had other ideas in their minds.
But since the girl who served her knew that she was going to become a princess, she was indeed more respectful to her than before. If she asked her not to go out and be arrogant, they all carefully kept their mouths shut and did not dare to say anything.
Otherwise, what if the girl is unhappy and the girl doesn't take them to the palace? They all signed the deed of prostitution, and most of them were sold to the palace when they were children. It's the same.
If they stay in Wanfu, they are the girls who came from the palace of the fifth-grade official. If they follow the girl to the prince's palace, they will be the girls who came from the prince's palace. When they are old enough to be matched, or the girl is given a deed of prostitution and goes out to get married, It sounds more than a little bit nice when you say it out loud.
Wan Siqing did not continue this topic, but asked Wan Sihe with a smile: "Second sister came to my yard just to praise me? You have always been the most considerate. Ever since you knew that I was rushing to make a wedding dress, you You haven’t come to see me, I don’t believe you just came to chat.”
The two sisters grew up together and had comforted each other before. Wan Sihe stopped talking about anything else and smiled happily:
"You're a clever little kid. It's obvious that you're going to be a princess and you've perfected your eyesight. Don't I have something to ask you for?"
She looked around, a little wary, then ran to the window and opened it. After looking up and down, she made sure that no one was around, then returned to Wan Siqing, covered her lips with the fan, and whispered:
"Sister, there's something wrong lately, do you know?"
Wan Siqing's expression changed, and he looked at her doubtfully: "I am bored in the house all day long, how could I know about my eldest sister?"
Wan Sihe: "Let me tell you, yesterday I came out of my eldest sister's yard and smelled the smell of medicinal materials. As you know, my mother is a medical woman and knows this best. I have been exposed to it since I was a child. "
She whispered: "I smelled the medicinal smell from eldest sister's yard carefully several times, and even took my aunt to smell it together. It is for women to protect their fetuses, so it is absolutely unmistakable."
Wan Siqing was startled and the handkerchief fell to the ground.
Pregnancy protection...
If Madam is happy, she should be in her own yard, why would she be in Wan Siyuan's yard.
If the medicinal material is really for preventing pregnancy, I haven't heard that Wan Siyuan hired a doctor.
Doesn't it mean...
Is she pregnant? ?
