Chapter 8: Grounded for a while

When the lamp was in hand, Du's mother asked people to set the meal. Knowing that the old lady was in a bad mood, Du's mother specially instructed the kitchen to cook it carefully, and the meals on the table were a little different from the past.

A pot of milk soup and eight-treasure cloth bag chicken, a plate of Wensi tofu soup, a plate of rouge duck letter with sauce cucumber, a plate of steamed goose breast, and a plate of sour bamboo shoots are all the old lady's favorite food on weekdays. In particular, the dish of sour bamboo shoots is made of golden silk and purple bamboo from Yuedi. This kind of golden silk purple bamboo, also known as sweet bamboo shoots, is a famous product of Yuedi, now is not the season when golden silk purple bamboo is abundant, even if it is the outside of the Yue Di merchants, what is sold is just dried bamboo shoots, like this kind of fresh bamboo shoots, it is really rare.

The old lady really had a great appetite, and the silver chopsticks reached out to the dish of sour bamboo shoots much more often.

After dinner, after Mother Du asked her subordinates to clean up, she remembered that she had forgotten to ask something, so she looked at the old lady: "Old lady, since it has been found out that Sister Rong was framed, what does the old lady plan to do with Sister Rong?"

The old lady was holding a white porcelain teapot with a green cigarette bottom, slowly tasting tea, and after listening to it, she glanced at Mother Du, her eyes were unfathomable.

Du's mother's heart jumped differently.

I only heard the old lady say slowly: "Although the matter is clear, but Sister Rong can also be framed like this, and she is also responsible, so let her copy the Buddhist scriptures in her yard for the time being, and cultivate herself for a while." ”

Mother Du didn't understand how long "for a while" was, and she wanted to ask again, but suddenly she thought of the old lady's unpredictable gaze, and her heart was suddenly bottomless, and she didn't dare to ask the words that came to her mouth, so she nodded and said: "The old lady is right, the slave maid will order to go down and let people send Buddhist scriptures to Liuyun Temple." ”

The old lady stood up and walked towards the inner room, saying at the same time, "Mother Du, don't be busy, since Sister Rong has entered the trap, it depends on her ability and how to untie it." After a pause, the old lady's voice came again, "Also, that plate of sour bamboo shoots is delicious." ”

Mother Du was shocked into a cold sweat, she couldn't imagine that although the old lady was old, her mind was sharper than anyone else, and she really couldn't hide this little trick from her.

Retreating, in the zigzag corridor under the shade of flowers and trees, red lanterns swayed gently in the breeze, and there were many people under the shadow of the lamp.

Seeing Mother Du coming over, Zi Peony came over and called in a low voice, "Mother Du." ”

"Go, come with me. Mother Du took Zi Peony to the shadows, looked around, and said, "You go and get a few Buddhist scriptures and send them to Miss Five, and ......" She repeated what the old lady said at the end just now.

Zi Shao's eyes were confused, she really couldn't figure out what the old lady meant.

Juping Temple.

"Bang!" another loud bang came, and the maids and servants lined up in two rows outside the house couldn't help but lower their heads.

It's been almost an hour, and there is still a constant sound inside, and the people outside are silent, and they don't dare to go in at all, for fear of touching the bad luck of the eldest lady and falling into bad luck.

After a long time, seeing that it was quiet inside, Cai's mother ordered Qingju and others to come in and clean up, and she herself turned around and made a cup of mulberry almond tea, and when it was no longer hot, she held it in front of the eldest lady and said, "Madam, you drink a cup of tea first to dissipate your anger." ”

The eldest lady pulled off the expensive hairpin on her head, threw it on the coffee table, lay down on the chair, and gasped: "Mother Cai, tell me how much effort I have spent on all this, this is good, why should her second child want a piece of the pie after the matter is completed, and she will take away the field with confidence! Has she done anything? Not at all! What is she just!"

Cai's mother knew that what the eldest lady said was that the second room was rewarded with the benefits of a piece of land by the old lady for no reason, and she was also aggrieved by the eldest lady: "Yes, Madam is right, the second room didn't do anything, just moved her mouth, this is good, a good piece of land is just let her go, speaking of which, the slave is really unwilling for Mrs. ”

The eldest lady continued to vent: "Mother Cai, you know how long I have been planning for this matter, asking the relationship to get Zhao Jiuniang and the others into the Zhao Mansion, and coming up with an idea to let them drive the main room to Xiaogu Mountain, that is, let them also help me get rid of this thorn in the eye, so that I can have an explanation to the Chen Mansion and the Lu Mansion." This is good, then Zhao Jiu is really a person who can't make a big deal, she has to get some limelight to drill into our sister's pile, as if she is afraid that she is not conspicuous enough, follow behind the dead girl, step on her skirt, she can't pretend to be someone else's hand, she has to go into battle by herself?

The eldest lady finished speaking in one breath and poured a sip of tea fiercely.

Mother Cai soothed: "Madam, isn't this matter over? Now that we all get what we want, our Gu Mansion has nothing to do with the Zhao Mansion." What if the old lady finds out, it is a family matter, is it difficult for the old lady to intervene to help the main room of the Zhao Mansion? That is unlikely. ”

After thinking about it, he smiled again: "The old lady gave each a piece of land today, isn't that a sign of calming the matter? Even if the old lady went to Xiaogu Mountain, she had no intention of pursuing this matter." It seems that the old lady still cares about the face of the lady. ”

In the Gu Mansion, the old lady favored the eldest lady, that was a well-known fact. In addition to the fact that the eldest lady is from the Houmen and has a noble status, there is also the fact that she has a trump card and a powerful general brother, and in this regard alone, the old lady can't ignore the face of the eldest lady.

"It's a cheap second room. The eldest lady still can't solve the resentment in her heart.

Mother Cai raised her head and said with a smile: "Madame, don't worry, although we didn't win all of this battle, we also made some gains." Just now there was news from the old lady's house that the dead girl had been grounded. ”

"How long is it forbidden?" the eldest lady immediately gathered her mind, "What did the old lady say?"

Mother Cai narrowed her eyes, and a smile poured out of her eyes: "The old lady didn't say the specific day, only for a while." Speaking of this, she leaned closer to the eldest lady and said in a low voice, "Madame, have you forgotten that the incident that happened to Sister Fei last year, didn't the old lady also say that she would be grounded for a while? As a result, this ban was banned for more than half a year, and then ...... later."

The eldest lady thought about it, and her face finally turned from anger to joy.

What if she has a lot of property to honor the old lady? As long as she has a firm belief in destroying the dead girl, grabbing the handle of the dead girl, and striking a fatal blow. For the sake of the reputation of the sisters in the house, in the end, the old lady had to give up the third room.

She must let that dead girl follow the path of Miss Seven again.
