Chapter 491: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (3)
Siqi also couldn't stand Wang Mama's behavior, so she also said.
"Don't pay any attention to her! Our Second Madam will deal with such a person sooner or later."
Mother Wang went into the inner room and saw Shuangshuang sitting on the edge of the bed.
It was not good to keep a straight face anymore, so I immediately put on a smile.
He took the clothes from the side and put them on Shuangshuang attentively while asking kindly.
"The girl is up? Is this because she is in great shape?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mom. I'm feeling much better now."
Shuangshuang responded gently, just like the original owner.
Mother Wang helped Shuangshuang put on her clothes and showed her symbolic concern.
Shuangshuang was just like the original owner, answering every question she asked, and there was no sign of any calculation or grudge between the two.
Mother Wang thought she had completed her task for today and could retire.
Thinking about the money I lost yesterday, I have to find something to exchange for money so that I can make a comeback.
Next, walk around the house with your eyes open, looking for something valuable but not too conspicuous.
Shuangshuang was waiting for this moment. She slowly stood up and sat down, waving to Siqi.
"Come and help me comb my hair. We should go and pay our respects to the old lady."
Siqi was not very willing. "Miss, the weather is so cold now, and you have just recovered from your illness. Can't you go a few days later?"
Xiu Ju also nodded, "Yes, girl, how about we wait a few days before going?
The old lady has always been very kind to the younger generations and wouldn't care about so many things."
They both shook their heads and said, "I'm really unfilial and I can't bear the thought of letting the old lady and the other ladies worry about me because of my illness.
Besides, the doctor at the palace said that I am now in good health and I think I can go out now.
Siqi, go and get the noodles that my second sister-in-law gave me a few days ago.
I'll take it with me to greet the ladies later, so that my second sister-in-law will be happy to see it."
When Siqi and Xiu Ju heard what Shuangshuang said, their expressions changed immediately.
He glanced at Mother Wang, whose eyes were shining, and looked at Shuangshuang with resentment, his eyes full of disappointment.
How could the girl say in front of Mother Wang that she had something good?
Wouldn’t that immediately make you the meat on the chopping board?
Mother Wang became the cat that stole the fish. She would definitely stare at the piece of meat and would not let go until she took it away.
When Mother Wang heard about the red gold headdress given by Second Madam, her eyes lit up instantly.
He quickly and gently asked, "Miss, when did the Second Mistress come to give you the gift? How come this old servant didn't know?"
"Oh, you weren't here that day, Mom, and I forgot to mention it. It wasn't a big deal anyway."
"That's right, that's right."
Then he turned around and urged Siqi who was still standing there motionless.
"What are you still waiting for? Go get the headgear and put it on our girl."
Siqi looked at Shuangshuang and saw that her face was also full of anticipation, and she couldn't help feeling helpless.
He stamped his feet and had to take out the headgear.
Mother Wang couldn't wait to grab the box and open it.
I was instantly shocked by the golden color and my mouth was almost watering.
Siqi wanted to take it and give it to Shuangshuang, but Mother Wang immediately dodged, closed the box and said to Shuangshuang.
"Girl, you're still young and I'm afraid you can't handle such a golden headpiece. Let's wear something simpler."
After hearing this, Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, looked like she liked it very much, and finally acted like she would do whatever she said.
"In that case, Siqi, please put it away for me and find some new pearl hairpins."
"Hey, young lady, I'll put it away right away!"
As a result, when she reached out to take the box, Mother Wang dodged.
Then he said to Shuangshuang in a flattering manner, "Miss, I haven't been very lucky these past few days.
Why don't you lend me this headdress to help me improve my luck."
Now Xiu Ju and Si Qi were both upset, and Xiu Ju started to attack directly.
"Mother Wang, what are you talking about? I've never heard of anyone using gold to improve their luck."
"Little hoof, how old are you? I, an old woman, have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, and I am sure I have seen much more than you.
Of course gold and silver can bring you luck!
Otherwise, look at those rich families, why are they getting richer and richer?
Because they have so much gold and silver, they naturally absorb other people's money."
Siqi and Xiu Ju were so angry at Wang Mama's shameless remarks that they stamped their feet and tried to get it back regardless of the consequences.
Shuangshuang coughed and then said to the two of them.
"Okay, since Mother Wang wants it, let her borrow it for two days.
Just pick out a few new hairpins for me to use."
"Girl, you..."
Siqi stamped her feet in anger.
Mother Wang got the benefit and her face instantly became as bright as a flower.
He proudly ordered Siqi, "Why don't you go and help our girl wash and change her clothes?
Go and pay your respects to the old lady, but don't leave too late."
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief, carefully wrapped up his head, and carefully put it into his arms.
At this time, she had already figured out where the headdress would go.
When Shuangshuang was about to take Siqi and Xiu Ju to Rong Xi Tang to pay their respects to the old lady.
She then said to Shuangshuang, "Miss, I have some trivial matters at home, so I will take my leave first. I will come to serve you in the afternoon."
Shuangshuang acted very gentle and generous, "Mom, if you have something to do, go ahead. I have Siqi and Xiuju here so nothing will happen."
He calculated the time and came to the old lady, and greeted her and the first and second wives.
The old lady looked at Shuangshuang with kindness on her face and asked lovingly.
"Ying girl, are you feeling better now?"
"Thank you for your concern, old lady. The court doctor said that my granddaughter is now well."
"That's good, that's good, don't be so stupid next time.
If you run out of something, just let me know. Although it's distributed monthly based on interest, it doesn't say you can't add more if it's running low."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your advice, ma'am.
It's all my granddaughter's fault. I will never let you worry about it again."
Next, Tanchun and Xichun also came over to show their concern for Shuangshuang.
Then they all came up to the old lady to flatter and play around, which made the old lady happy and laugh.
After a while, a pink ball in bright red brocade came out from the old lady's green gauze cabinet. This should be the legendary Jia Baoyu.
Seeing that everyone was there, he immediately put on a smile and came up to the old lady.
"Grandfather, what good news makes you so happy?"
"As for me, I am happy to see my beautiful grandchildren accompanying me."
"Okay then, we will stay with you forever and make you happy for the rest of your life."
"Nonsense, how can you stay with an old woman forever?"
Jia Baoyu was joking with the old lady for a while, and then he noticed Shuangshuang, who was sitting in the corner, with her head down and silent as usual, and he quickly jumped up to her.
