The inner room is connected to the bedroom and is separated by a screen. Mrs. Xu originally saw the guests in the living room, and the discussion was in the summer hug, but after feeling that there were one or two ghosts around her, she liked to say it in the inner room if she had any private words, at least here, Mama Yu can still control it.
Sitting on the only Taishi chair in the room, Mrs. Xu asked Mama Yu to move a pestle and put it next to her, and asked Shi Niang to sit down.
"This Gao Mansion seems to be in a hurry. Mrs. Xu said loudly: "We only paid off the money at noon today, and they came to visit the door in the afternoon, it seems that they really can't wait for a moment." ”
Eleven Niang looked up at Mrs. Xu, wondering what she meant by this.
"Eleven Niang, do you know how we got acquainted with Gaofu?" Mrs. Xu asked suddenly.
Eleven Niang replied: "I heard my mother talk about this, because the two masters of the Gao family once saved my father's life, grandmother, you went to thank them, so that the two families became familiar with each other." ”
"Hehe, that's been a long time. Mrs. Xu smiled and said slowly: "Your father was naughty when he was a child, when we first moved to Shangyuan County, there were not enough people, every autumn harvest I have to go to the grange to watch, your father every time he clamored to follow, go to go, and when he went there, he either went up the mountain to catch birds all day long, or went down to the river to fish." ”
"Your father was eight years old that year, and he was as old as you are now, and he slipped out again, but something happened in the river, and the little guy who followed him was the same age as him, and he was not a top student, and when it happened, he ran away alone, leaving your father struggling in the river, if it weren't for the two masters of the Gao family passing by and bringing a servant who knew how to water, your father would be—" Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu stopped, sorted out her emotions, and then continued: "Later, I prepared a generous gift to thank them. ”
"However, Gao Fu knew that I was a widowed mother and lived with several sons, and took pity on me, although he accepted the gift, but later took advantage of the festival to give me a similar amount of the festival gift, so that the two of us went around. ”
It turned out that my grandmother was widowed so early, Eleven Niang thought distressedly.
"At that time, Gao Taigong had not passed away, in our Shangyuan County, Gao Mansion belonged to a big family of one and two, and after getting in touch with them, it was much easier for my grandmother to do anything. ”
"It's easy to put the icing on the cake, and it's the heart to send charcoal in the snow, so, Eleven Niang, grandmother is thinking, if we have the ability, we can help them a little bit. Mrs. Xu looked at Eleven Niang and said.
In addition to being grateful to the Gao family for saving her son, there is also a secret, she is just planning in her heart for the time being, everyone knows that Mrs. Gao's father is not surnamed Gao.
At that time, Gao Taigong's mother was the only daughter of a businessman surnamed Gao, and his father was a recruiter.
Mrs. Xu looked at this granddaughter and thought about how to plan this matter.
Eleven Niang didn't know that her grandmother had so many twists and turns in her heart, and thought that she was out of pure gratitude mentality, so she said: "What grandmother said is that I heard others say that Gao Mansion also owes the Li family money some time ago, and I am still a little worried about them, so we will go to the house tomorrow and inquire how much they are missing?"
Mrs. Xu smiled: "There is no need to ask, if my guess is correct, tomorrow the Gao Mansion should open his mouth to borrow it from us." ”
The fame of the few little ladies of the Gao family is very loud in Shangyuan County, and most of the people who walk around with the Gao family are scholarly families, if the Li Mansion really has bad intentions, not to mention how things will develop in the end, just the rumors that are circulating now are enough for them to drink a pot.
She herself was afraid that her granddaughters would be dragged into the rumors, so as soon as she had money, she immediately repaid her debts!
On the second day, Mrs. Xu took Eleven Niang to Gao's house for an appointment.
The Gao family's reception of Mrs. Xu this time was very high, and Mrs. Gao and the whole family welcomed them at the second gate, which made Mrs. Xu flattered for a while.
As soon as she saw someone, Mrs. Gao took Mrs. Xu's hand and said, "Jing Niang, since you said yesterday that you were going to come to our house, we are looking forward to it! ”
Mrs. Xu said happily: "Then I can't ask for it, the meat and fruit made by the cook in your house, I like it very tightly." ”
Mrs. Gao is a simple person, yesterday she went to Xu's house, it was Mrs. Gao's request, she had to invite Mrs. Xu to come over the house as a guest, I didn't expect Mrs. Xu to agree so easily, or come the next day, go back to the house and talk to Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Gao pondered, this matter of borrowing money, it seems that the grasp is much bigger.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Mrs. Gao took Mrs. Xu and her party and walked inside.
Gao Mansion is a four-entry house, covering a lot more than Xu Mansion, and it is much more beautiful than Xu Mansion, through the hanging flower door, come to a hall, look like this, it should be a living room, in the hall, the old lady Gao is already waiting inside.
"Alas, Mrs. Gao, why did you come out, I'm here to say hello to you!" Mrs. Xu smiled and gave Mrs. Gao a blessing.
Unexpectedly, even Old Lady Gao was dispatched today.
Old lady Gao waved her hand again and again, and said, "I can't help it, I can't help it, you, come to me as if you were your own home, don't you hurry up and take a seat!"
Mrs. Xu excused herself and insisted that Mrs. Gao sit in that seat, and then sit under Mrs. Gao.
As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Xu said to Eleven Niang: "Eleven Niang, don't hurry up and say hello to Old Lady Gao." ”
Eleven Niang immediately blessed herself smartly, and said to Mrs. Gao: "Eleven Niang has seen Mrs. Gao. ”
"Yo, this is Ji Yan's child, I haven't seen you for a long time, but she has grown so big. Old lady Gao said happily.
"That's not it, children are just the same every day. Mrs. Xu happily continued.
In fact, Mrs. Gao has never seen Xu Shiniang.
"Or will you teach the child, I heard Jingyi say, you child is cute to read. Old lady Gao said.
"It's just that Xiao Nizi is scribbling nonsense, where do you love to read. Mrs. Xu said modestly.
Old lady Gao beckoned to Eleven Niang, called her to the side, and asked, "Come, tell grandpa, have you learned the three-character scripture?"
Eleven Niang looked at Mrs. Xu, and when she nodded, she said, "I've learned." ”
"What about the thousand-word text?"
"I've learned it too. ”
"What about the Thousand Poems?"
Eleven Niang nodded and said, "I've also learned." ”
Asked this, the old lady Gao sighed: "Look, the sister of the Xu family, your granddaughter, but amazing, I originally heard Jingyi say that the amount of paper and ink that Eleven Niang sends someone to buy every month is as good as that of a hard-working scholar, I didn't believe it at first, but now I can believe it!"
