Chapter 35: Self-inflicted humiliation
Lin Mansion, Chuntang Garden, except for the rustle of wind and rain hitting the dead branches of the trees, there was no other sound, and even the female envoys working in the courtyard couldn't help but slow down a lot in their hands.
There was silence all around, but there were bursts of angry shouts from the hall from time to time, and everyone held their breath, curiously glancing towards the middle hall of the garden, but they didn't dare to come out.
The old lady Lin sitting on the high house sat in it, she was dressed in a dark blue dark striped placket, with a gray-blue brocade inlaid black jade forehead on her head, a large hairpin inlaid with gold and emerald green, and a large dark green pillow on her waist, her expression was very solemn, which was very different from usual.
The mother of the big house owner of the Lin Mansion was awe-inspiring, and the anger on the old lady's face from yesterday to the present was hard to dissipate, and she was haunted by the fact that Xian Rou was injured, so why wasn't she? As the mother of the big house of the Lin Mansion, as the mother of the big house of the Lin Mansion, she was even more distressed, and she had already scolded the perpetrator of the big mound Zaifu thousands of times in her heart, but because of the power of the host Yongding Hou Mansion, she naturally did not dare to show it blatantly.
"Send this bowl of osmanthus jade brew to Rou'er!" the old lady pressed her hands to her eyebrows, her yellow old eyes were bloodshot, and she looked very tired.
The big housekeeper's mother hurriedly took the white porcelain bowl on the table and went out...
Mrs. Lin stroked her eyebrows, her gray eyes deepened, remembering that Shangguan Linyan, the grandmother of the Marquis of Yongding yesterday, personally sent the injured Xianrou back, and said for a while, the whole body was just some prevarication, and said that the old lady of the Hou Mansion missed her very much, and obviously gagged her with the love of the old sister, and finally let the little maids stuff in a number of valuable gifts.
The old lady's eyebrows were furrowed, and even the sides of her mouth were bent into several ravines, like a dry ditch, which looked even more vigorous.
Everyone saw that the old lady was silent and pondering, and for a while they were all silent, and stood on both sides, not daring to sit down.
"Mother, my son thinks this matter is over, right? Rou'er is also at fault, she is not sensible, the noble of the Hou Mansion has a birthday, she can't bear it, and she has a quarrel with someone..."Lin Zhanghuai, the second master of Lin, didn't speak, but was pulled by the woman behind him, and the words that originally came to his lips immediately swallowed back when he saw the woman's sideways and obscure eyes.
This Lin Shanhuai originally did not have an official and a half-job, but he was a person who spent his days wandering around, drinking flower wine and visiting the flower building, which can be described as a bad deed, in an accidental situation, he was pulled by the Marquis of Yongding, and finally gave him a civil job as a doctor of Chaosan, he was very grateful to Dade, no, even his wife's cold face, he did not notice, and walked out to speak for the Hou Mansion.
"Old lady, what the second uncle said is very true, the Yongding Marquis Mansion is a relative of the emperor, and we can't afford to mess with it. Xiangshi, the concubine of the big house standing under the pillars at the back, walked out with Supa, she flirtatiously stroked the black silk on her shoulders, and her eyes were like silk: "What's more, you and the old lady of the Hou Mansion are friends in the boudoir, and you don't like it, we can't twist our arms and thighs, and it's better to have more than one thing, that Rou'er is too willful, and it's self-inflicted to teach a lesson... Let her know later..."
"You shut up.."
Before Xiang's words could speak, he was stopped by a loud voice...
Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see the big housekeeper's mother Li standing by the door, her hand holding the sieve trembling violently, a pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be about to spew fire, and she looked at Xiang who had just spoken, and the red dates in the sieve jumped to the ground, Xiang shrank and hid behind the big man, staring at the red dates at his feet, and his head drooped lower and lower.
Li Shi walked over with scarlet eyes, stretched out his index finger and scolded: "You heartless slut, Rou'er is not your daughter, you naturally don't feel distressed, Baba goes to please some people.." The Li family has long lost the steady and dignified of the past, scolding like a shrew, with his willow eyebrows upside down, very sharp!
"Sister, you're not right, right! Talk about Rou'er, why do you want to point to Sang and scold Huai?" Chen, the master mother of the second room, walked out from Lin Zhanghuai's side, ** her face was full of anger, she shook off Lin Zhanghuai's hand, and raised her eyebrows to look at the Li family who was trembling with anger.
This Li family was already angry, how could she care about her identity as the mother of the big house of the Lin Mansion, I saw her take a step forward, pointed at Chen's nose and scolded: "That's what happened to you? As a stalker, are you afraid that people will know? Why do you take my Rou'er as a cheap? What about the relatives of the Emperor of Yongding Mansion? My nephew is still the current His Royal Highness the Prince! You people with rotten hearts..."
Smack
A sharp shattering sound exploded.. It was as if there was a muffled thunder, but I felt that the sky was spinning, and the beams and pillars of the house trembled.
Suddenly, the hall was silent, and everyone looked at it, only to see two huge enamel bottles with gold and jade and red plums shattered to the ground.
Suddenly, not only was the hall silent, but even Fu Liluo and Gu Yunhua, who had just arrived at the gate of the courtyard, were startled, and the steps they were just about to step in unconsciously slowed down...
The body of the Li family, who was still imposing before, trembled more and more, and the originally delicate crown hair was scattered because of the trembling of the body, and in an instant, he lost all his virtue, shrunk into a ball and hid behind the eldest master and no longer dared to speak.
"Are you all dead to me?" Old Lady Lin took the ink-patterned cane, angrily knocked on the wooden case, her old face was blue, and she coughed violently while holding Su Pa, "One by one, how can you still have the appearance of a child of a noble family?
"Mother, take care of yourself!" The eldest man, who had been silent, glared at the haggard Li Shi fiercely, and stepped forward with a worried face.
Old Mrs. Lin hung on the desk with hatred, and the green tendons in her dry palms flared up: "You don't have to persuade me, I can't take care of you people, I just look forward to dying early, and I don't need to watch you play with each other!"
Everyone threw themselves on their knees and fell to the ground.
At this moment, I heard a shout outside the door:
"Miss Otsuka Zaifu, Second Lady, Second Miss asks to see!"
Everyone was shocked, stood up in a panic, looked at each other, and looked at Gao Sit with different expressions...
Old Mrs. Lin's face froze, and the palm hidden in the sleeve of her hand slowly tightened, and then let go again, and said in a deep voice: "Pass it!"
After a while, a beautiful person walked in with a skirt on his forehead, followed by an old man and a young man with a chest and a hunched back, and there were a few mothers-in-law and maids standing at the door, as well as small servants carrying brocade boxes.
"The younger generation greets the old lady. ”
The girl in Tsing Yi had already stood in the center of the hall, her slender posture was slightly blessed, and her every move was respectful, with a shallow smile on her face.
Lin Hanchu, the eldest son of the Lin family, who was still shrunk and out of the way, was tilting his head at the moment, and his unscrupulous and evil eyes shot straight over, staring at the bright girl in front of the hall in confusion.
The old lady looked at the well-behaved, elegant and feminine girl in front of her, and the fierceness in her eyes was quietly halved, but there was still displeasure on her face, she made a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what Miss Gu is doing here?"
Gu Yunhua only felt that his knees were weak, and the hand holding Yang Suqin involuntarily tightened.
But she didn't know that all her movements were all in the eyes of the old lady sitting tall.
The old lady looked at Gu Yunhua's eyes, and unconsciously felt a little more disdain and disgust.
"When my father heard about my sister's behavior yesterday, he was very angry and ashamed, and at my father's order, I specially brought my sister to ask the old lady for forgiveness today!" Fu Liluo took a step forward, bowed his waist and kowtowed, looked at the old lady sitting tall and stretched a lot, and raised his eyebrows and said: "Father originally wanted to come in person, but because of the incident of the sister-in-law yesterday, he was angry and lay on the bed and couldn't get off the ground, so he asked the younger generation and the second lady of the house to come together to ask for guilt." "The bright girl is like this, and she is stable and generous between her throws, and she doesn't reveal a drop of water when she says it.
This old lady Lin was originally angry in her heart, because no one in the Otsuka Mansion came to apologize, but now seeing that the young lady of the Otsuka Mansion is so safe and decent, the depression in her heart has also dissipated a lot.
"Lord Otsuka is fine, right?"
The cowering acacia in the corner greeted abruptly, and when he saw the old mother's solemn face, he hurriedly retreated to the corner.
Fu Liluo brushed the green silk in his ears, and looked over with a smile: "Thank you for your care! I found the doctor and looked at it, saying that I was angry and angry, and it would be no big problem to rest for two days!
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Shi, who was standing on the porch, stepped over: "The second lady doesn't have to say anything! What does it mean to be ordinary? Our children don't often do this, and we Rou'er are not stingy." Xiang's face was red, and he completely forgot that he had an unpleasant quarrel with Li not long ago...
Fu Liluo secretly scolded in his heart, this Yang Suqin is the second lady of Otsuka Zai, why is she so eyeless!
looked at the person sitting tall without a trace, and saw that Mrs. Lin, who had just stretched her eyebrows, tightened the corners of her mouth, and looked at Yang Suqin, who was silent, with half-squinted eyes.
"Please don't blame the old lady, the second lady of the house said the wrong thing in a hurry, and it was also an unintentional mistake, and please don't worry about the old lady and the lady!" Fu Li Luo Xianxian stepped forward and bowed her waist, her pretty face was as calm as water, and her temperament was as warm as jade.
"Miss Gu is gentle and elegant, down-to-earth and generous, and she is very knowledgeable, and today I forgive Miss Gu II in the face of you and Lord Otsuka Zai.." Mrs. Lin took a sip of the blue and white porcelain cup, her eyes were gloomy, she stared at the pale Gu Yun painting, and her lips curled up with a sneer, but when she looked at Fu Liluo's eyes, she was a little more convinced and loving.
ordered someone to serve tea to Fu Liluo, and asked her to sit on the soft chair...
Fu Liluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and ordered the little guy at the door to strike while the iron was hot, carried the brocade box in, stood up and said: "In order to apologize, I prepared some light gifts, and please don't dislike the old lady!"
Everyone probed their brains, watching several little guys go in and out, all thinking about whether the things in it were worth anything, and some people noticed the old lady's originally annoyed face, and actually smiled a little!
"Old lady, take it! Miss Gu is so gentle and virtuous, don't refute her face!"
Leaning against the cloister, Chan smiled and spoke.
The old lady sitting on the high seat bent her eyebrows, sat upright, held the cloud pattern warm woman, and said: "What you said is very true, this child makes people happy when he looks at it, but it's my stinginess if I don't accept it, isn't it?"
Saying that, he hurriedly beckoned Fu Liluo to come forward, and he was polite
Everyone stared at the two of them in disbelief, watching them talk happily, and their mouths were wide open. It's hard to accept for a while.
"I have heard of the reputation of Miss Gu, and it is a great pity that I did not see the style of the Baliting Lake Fighting Festival that day! ”
Lin Hanchu, who was hiding in the corner of the pillar, came out rashly, with a pair of mouse eyes glowing with thief light, looking up and down at Fu Liluo who was sitting on the soft chair, exuding a greasy light all over his body, Fu Liluo smiled indifferently, his long curly eyelashes covered the disgust at the bottom of his eyes, and the suzu hand holding the cup moved, and did not look at him.
Lin Hanchu was bored, and was twisted by Xiang's eyebrows...
Fu Liluo took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, stood up, and blessed himself: "Old lady, I'm bothering today, and the younger generation will go back first." ”
Old Mrs. Lin frowned, tightened the fox fur shawl on her body, and nodded at her, her eyes full of smiles.
Everyone was stunned again, is this all right? This Miss Gu is really eloquent, and in a few words, the angry old ancestor smiled all over his eyes, and looked at Fu Liluo's gaze with a hint of admiration.
Not only them, but the old and young who followed Fu Liluo were even more victorious, and Yang Suqin and Gu Yunhua's hearts, which were originally hanging in their throats, also chuckled and returned to their original places.
Fu Li Luo bowed, smiled lightly and turned around.
correct
almost knocked down a person, looking at it, Lin Xianying looked frightened, Fu Liluo didn't react, only heard:
Ah, the Gu Yun painting mother who followed behind him jumped like a monkey, screaming heartbreakingly.
"Self-inflicted humiliation!"
I don't know who threw such a sound...
