第20章 立慈母牌坊
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。”

“这怎么了，那姜家女今日也来了，只是不知如今躲哪儿去了。”
“她们这也是一出大戏了。”
“往日姐妹情深，说抢男人就抢，我看怀安王妃也没错，与其受委屈，还不如將所有人都拉下水。”
“听说官家近来不太重用东宫那位了，诸多要事都交给怀安王处理。”
“造化弄人，怀安王从前为了不成婚出征，如今回来还是和王妃成了婚。”
“可不是，今日两口子过来，瞧著跟陌生人似的，怀安王都不大看王妃。”
“可我怎么见怀安王总偷看王妃呢？好像还脸红了。”
“这么漂亮的媳妇儿，就算是性子强了些，男人心里还不是乐呵的，至少出门有面子。”
高枝听著，虽没怎么说她坏话，但她对听閒话確实兴趣不大，故而前去同萧氏打招呼。
眾人听女子上前同萧氏说话，目光纷纷落在人身上。
京城美人无数，最出名的，世家占了两个，一个是高家这位，另一个是同她交好的二公主，便也是沈家后代。
美人一袭芙蓉色绣松竹凤尾锦裙，婀娜身姿，乌黑髮髻盘玉簪，几缕碎发隨秋风扫过莹白面颊，眉眼似水月观音清冷。
分明仙姿佚貌，却给人以凛若冰霜之感，
萧氏活到快四十岁，都没忍住看痴了一瞬，思及高枝也算儿子旧友，生出几分亲切和关怀。
“王妃不继续赏，可是有哪里不適？”
高枝抿唇，“是有些累了，所以休息一会儿，夫人你们自去赏吧，不必等我。”
听小姑娘只是累了，萧氏才放心，领著人离开。
高枝坐在石凳上，环顾四周的团锦簇，才逐渐回过神来。
刚重生时，只顾著想鄷彻的事，如今登了沈家门她才想起涉及潭州的大案和沈家也有关係。
沈老爷子之子，沈贵人的弟弟沈重，前世也在肃清贪污名册上。
因此沈家儿郎尽数抄斩，沈贵人为弟弟辩驳，被打入冷宫，后，就连她好友二公主鄷荣也被送去和亲，惨死途中。
前世得知好友死讯，正是她入东宫受朱皇后欺凌之时，姜透將此事告诉她，她过分伤怀，大病了一阵，险些丟了性命……
“啪。”
她肩膀上沉了沉。
不等她反应，一只布满茧子的手突然捂住她的眼。
“小娘子一人在这儿坐著，好生孤独，不如让爷好好疼惜你。”
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。”

“这怎么了，那姜家女今日也来了，只是不知如今躲哪儿去了。”
“她们这也是一出大戏了。”
“往日姐妹情深，说抢男人就抢，我看怀安王妃也没错，与其受委屈，还不如將所有人都拉下水。”
“听说官家近来不太重用东宫那位了，诸多要事都交给怀安王处理。”
“造化弄人，怀安王从前为了不成婚出征，如今回来还是和王妃成了婚。”
“可不是，今日两口子过来，瞧著跟陌生人似的，怀安王都不大看王妃。”
“可我怎么见怀安王总偷看王妃呢？好像还脸红了。”
“这么漂亮的媳妇儿，就算是性子强了些，男人心里还不是乐呵的，至少出门有面子。”
高枝听著，虽没怎么说她坏话，但她对听閒话確实兴趣不大，故而前去同萧氏打招呼。
眾人听女子上前同萧氏说话，目光纷纷落在人身上。
京城美人无数，最出名的，世家占了两个，一个是高家这位，另一个是同她交好的二公主，便也是沈家后代。
美人一袭芙蓉色绣松竹凤尾锦裙，婀娜身姿，乌黑髮髻盘玉簪，几缕碎发隨秋风扫过莹白面颊，眉眼似水月观音清冷。
分明仙姿佚貌，却给人以凛若冰霜之感，
萧氏活到快四十岁，都没忍住看痴了一瞬，思及高枝也算儿子旧友，生出几分亲切和关怀。
“王妃不继续赏，可是有哪里不適？”
高枝抿唇，“是有些累了，所以休息一会儿，夫人你们自去赏吧，不必等我。”
听小姑娘只是累了，萧氏才放心，领著人离开。
高枝坐在石凳上，环顾四周的团锦簇，才逐渐回过神来。
刚重生时，只顾著想鄷彻的事，如今登了沈家门她才想起涉及潭州的大案和沈家也有关係。
沈老爷子之子，沈贵人的弟弟沈重，前世也在肃清贪污名册上。
因此沈家儿郎尽数抄斩，沈贵人为弟弟辩驳，被打入冷宫，后，就连她好友二公主鄷荣也被送去和亲，惨死途中。
前世得知好友死讯，正是她入东宫受朱皇后欺凌之时，姜透將此事告诉她，她过分伤怀，大病了一阵，险些丟了性命……
“啪。”
她肩膀上沉了沉。
不等她反应，一只布满茧子的手突然捂住她的眼。
“小娘子一人在这儿坐著，好生孤独，不如让爷好好疼惜你。”
