第20章 立慈母牌坊（1/2）

瓢泼大雨砸得屋檐噼里啪啦响，京城一夜降温，隱隱有了初秋的寒凉，连家正厅內，亦是气氛冷冽。

几个老嬤嬤奄奄一息被人捆在堂下。

连晓听说孙儿被薄待，发了好一通火。

习氏也难逃连带责任，当著小辈和下人的面，被连晓骂了一阵，亦后悔自己怎么选了这些个老货伺候人。

“婆母別难过。”

古氏安慰习氏，瞥了眼一侧哄温榆玩的连翘，柔声说：“其实这件事，高枝也做得不地道。”

“不是她的错。”

习氏摇头，“是我老了，识人不清。”

“婆母您是心善，总觉得所有人都是好的。”

古氏：“阿枝她出身武將世家，性子也太直了些，將人打成这样遣回来，知道的是她疼惜孩子，

不知道的，恐怕以为她是故意打您的脸，给自己立慈母牌坊呢。”

习氏蹙眉，面上浮现几分犹豫，余光发觉温榆好奇打量，忙道：“当著孩子的面別乱说。”

古氏视线扫过温榆，换上笑脸转移话题：“过两日便是沈老爷子寿辰，到时候，阿榆就能回王府，同你父亲母亲一块生活了。”

温榆听了这话，小脸却垮下来，待习氏说要休息，才和连翘手拉著手回院。

“阿榆怎不高兴？”

连翘看出小姑娘失落。

“我不想回去。”

温榆咬著唇，“她对付人好厉害，我怕她也欺负我。”

连翘很快反应过来温榆口中的“她”是谁，安抚：“虽我同高姑娘没怎么相处，但看得出她不是坏人的，阿榆多想了。”

温榆低头不语，拉著连翘的手，闷闷不乐说：“翘姑姑，我寧愿是你嫁给我父亲，当我的母亲，

你性格这样好，我喜欢你，高家姑娘舞刀弄枪，一点也不温柔，一点也不像娘亲。”

连翘闻声顿了下，眸底闪过几分苦涩，“可不能当著高姑娘面说这话，阿榆，这是为你好，

她才是你母亲，姑姑…只是姑姑，怎能当你母亲呢，去了王府后，要好好孝敬她，你的前程也掌握在她手里的。”

温榆撇著嘴，“我才不会孝敬她。”

她在连家住了几日，父亲都没来看她。

有了高枝，父亲就不喜欢她了。

高家女真討厌。

她才不会喜欢她，更不要那人当她的母亲。

-

一连下了几日雨，到了八月底，沈贵人父亲端明殿学士沈老爷子六十大寿，广邀权贵世家赴宴。

高枝初次以怀安王妃身份出席这等场合，好生打扮了一番，才隨鄷彻一同登沈家。

男女分席，用饭后，沈家少夫人萧氏领女眷们入园赏解闷。

女人多的地方，自然言语就多。

光是打量和议论，高枝都受了好几波。

偏偏习武之人耳力好，就算走在队末，还免不得听见閒言碎语。

“怀安王妃还真是好胆色，先前將太子和姜家女的事宣扬出去，这才几日，就大方出来赴宴了。”
