Chapter 8 The Golden Hairpin
Niu's sent a threat, and Qin Hanzhen was also secretly refreshed when he saw it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, Niu is a patient after all, and after being excited for a long time, he is also a little tired, and he coughs, and his breath becomes shorter.
At this time, there was no one else in the house, so Qin Hanzhen reluctantly crawled close to Niu's, stretched out his skinny little hand, caressed her back, and calmed her. Niu Shi looked back at her and smiled: "I'm sick, but I'm much more well-behaved." ”
Qin Hanzhen tried his best to return her with a sincere and admiring smile, and asked flatteringly, "Grandmother wants to drink tea?"
Niu smacked his lips: "After talking about it for a long time, my mouth is a little dry." There is medicinal tea in the kettle on the kang table over there, it is your grandfather's recipe, it should still be warm, you pour half a cup and give it to me. ”
When Qin Hanzhen heard this, he followed her words, climbed to the small table at the end of the kang, and saw that there was a porcelain pot there, wrapped in a thick cotton sleeve, and guessed that this was the warm pot that Niu Shi said, so he took a clean empty cup from the side and poured half a cup of medicinal tea. The tea is clear yellow-brown, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance, smelling like astragalus water, and two red wolfberries are sinking at the bottom of the cup.
Qin Hanzhen sent the tea to Niu, who took a sip and asked her with a smile, "Do you want to taste it too?" Qin Hanzhen hesitated, but still shook his head. Although this medicinal tea should be something good for the body, since it is a recipe specially prepared by grandfather Mr. Qin for Grandmother Niu's family, it must be formulated for Niu's physical condition. She is also taking medicine herself, so it's better not to eat it casually, so as not to conflict with the medicine.
Niu didn't know what she was thinking, and was still teasing: "Although I forgot about it, my temperament hasn't changed." In the past, I coaxed you to drink this, but you also said that you would not say anything. Although this thing has some medicinal taste, it is really not bitter, sweet and silky, and it is very good for the body. How about you just take a bite?"
Qin Hanzhen paused, obediently took her hand and took a sip. Medicinal tea is indeed not bitter, and it does have a hint of sweetness. Qin Hanzhen smacked her lips and recognized that there should be astragalus, red dates, and wolfberries in it, and she couldn't taste the remaining one or two medicinal materials, but they must all be warm and replenishing, so it didn't matter.
But after drinking this sip, she didn't drink it anymore, but persuaded Niu: "This tea is delicious, and it's good for the body, grandmother drink more, and get better soon after drinking." I don't want to rely on my second aunt, I just want to be with my grandmother. ”
Niu Shi laughed when he heard this: "Is this little mouth dripping with honey? It's so sweet." She casually put the teacup aside and hugged her granddaughter: "Good boy, don't be afraid, and don't pay attention to what those people say." You are the granddaughter of me and your grandfather, and you are the same as Brother Zi'er, and your grandmother will never let your second aunt bully you. ”
Qin Hanzhen nested in her arms and remained silent, but her heart was a little calmer. If her grandfather and grandmother would not indulge her second aunt He because she loved her grandson, then her future life would be much better. She made up her mind that she must hold the thighs of the second elder of the Qin family tightly and never waver.
Cui'er was dragged out of the upper courtyard by Mama Tiger and Mama Zhang, and dragged all the way to the middle courtyard. The lower courtyard is the outer courtyard, people come and go, there are students from private schools, Mama Hu didn't want to lose Mr. Qin's face, so she threw Cui'er to the ground and instructed Zhang's mother: "Go find something to block this girl's mouth, go to the east side courtyard and call Sister-in-law Hu to take a hand, remember to let Hu Da put the donkey cart on by the way." ”
Sister-in-law Hu is the daughter of the Niu family's mother's bookkeeper, and now works as a cook in the Qin family. Her man, Hu Da, drove the car for Mr. Qin, and he was responsible for the family's carriage and donkey cart. The couple took their children and lived in three caves in the East Courtyard together with their father-in-law Liu Shufang. From the aisle next to the account room in the middle courtyard, it is a few steps away.
Zhang's mother agreed, turned around and went to the east side courtyard. She was not in a hurry to block Cui'er's mouth, and she wanted the whole family to know about the good things He had done.
Zhang's mother is not in a hurry, naturally there are people who are in a hurry. Cui'er shouted all the way, "Second grandma save me", "Second grandma, you promised", let her shout out of the gate of the Qin family like this, and keep the whole village knowing that the girl of her big house took refuge in the second grandmother He family, and now she has been kicked out of the Qin family, what face does the He family have?
There was finally movement in the west wing of the upper courtyard, He's door opened a crack, Taisheng's sister-in-law squeezed out, quickly walked through the courtyard door, walked down the steps, pulled out a big white handkerchief from his sleeve, and quickly blocked Cui'er's mouth, and gave the latter a look. With both prongs, Cui'er finally couldn't utter a word, and stared at her with wide eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Taisheng's sister-in-law gave her a look at her at the same time, it seemed that she had a deep meaning, maybe she would have taken out the handkerchief from her mouth and scolded her back.
Her hands weren't tied.
Taisheng's sister-in-law didn't care about talking to her for the time being, turned around and said to Mama Hu with a smile: "Don't worry, Mama, our grandmother is really wronged, she was worried about Sister Sang'er in her heart, and she was worried that there was only one Mother Zhang by her side, and she would not be able to take care of her, so she told Cui'er that this girl was good to wait, where did she think that this girl would make her own opinion? Mrs. punished her, it should be." It's just that our grandmother never dared to have the idea of crossing the wife's house. Mama must defend our grandma more in front of his wife. ”
Mama Tiger smiled faintly, ignored it, and only glanced at Cui'er mockingly.
Although Cui'er's mouth is gagged, her hands are free. She was extremely anxious in her heart, and she didn't understand what Taisheng's sister-in-law meant by saying these words. Where did she make up her own mind? What she said was obviously ordered by the second grandmother, didn't Taisheng's sister-in-law listen to it right next to her? She was punished by her wife for doing things for the second grandmother, how could the second grandmother turn her face and refuse to recognize people?
If it weren't for the fear of offending Taisheng's sister-in-law, it would be difficult to ask for money from the He family in the future, and Cui'er would have to jump up and scold people at this time. But when she thought that she was about to leave the house, she couldn't take away the good things she had accumulated over the years, and even the things he rewarded had to be deducted, Cui'er was not calm anymore, and desperately pulled the sleeve of Taisheng's sister-in-law, trying to win her attention.
Taisheng's sister-in-law smiled at Mama Hu, seeing that she ignored herself, but Cui'er behind her was constantly harassing, so she had to turn her head and glare at the latter, and said silently with her mouth: "I'll talk about it later, I won't make you suffer." Cui'er stopped and let go of her hand in disbelief.
While talking, Zhang's mother came back with Sister-in-law Hu.
Mama Tiger instructed them: "Take this girl all the way out of the door, throw the donkey cart up, pull her back to her house, don't let her shout all the way." When Zhang's mother went to search their house, Sister-in-law Hu acted as a helper. If Cui'er's father and mother dare to stop him, they will ask Hu Da to deal with him. ”
Sister-in-law Hu is slightly chubby, and she also has the strength to handle it, Hu Da is a rare strong man in the village, and she has learned a few fists and feet from Qin Ping, and he can't get close to him when he is three or five Han in Xiancun. With their husband and wife going with them, although Zhang's mother is softer, she is not afraid that she will not be able to deal with Cui'er's family. Mama Tiger has always been a meticulous person, and she couldn't have thought it through.
Zhang's mother and sister-in-law Hu agreed, and escorted Cui'er all the way. Cui'er frequently looked back at Taisheng's sister-in-law, but she didn't shout anymore. Taisheng's sister-in-law hesitated for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "I'll go and help, lest that girl escape." "I followed hard. There was no way, He Shi told her to coax Cui'er. Even if the other servants were suspicious, she had to get things done.
Mama Tiger didn't bother to pay attention to her, and turned around and went to the west courtyard where the girls and mothers-in-law lived. It is a little smaller than the east side courtyard, with only two caves. Cui'er is the only girl under the grandmother Guan family, and she has a small kiln, where are her things? Mama Tiger has to search and find out the valuable items, and the rest of the luggage depends on what Mrs. Niu disposes of.
Mama Hu's search really found a lot of good things, and she made a big package and took it back to the main house of the upper courtyard for Niu's to see.
Qin Hanzhen is still here with Niu's, and he is picking up two small fists with no meat and beating his grandmother's shoulder, which is actually more flattering than practical. Niu was coaxed by his rare well-behaved granddaughter, and when he inspected the contents of the package, his expression was more mocking than angry: "I thought that the surname He gave Cui'er something good, but it was just some silver bills, and the patterns were ordinary, a few silver cloves, gilt hairpins, not worth a few dollars." Cui'er is also a shallow eyelid, just for such a thing, the master doesn't recognize it!"
Mama Hu smiled: "What good things can she have seen? Grandma never liked to wear gold and silver when she was alive, and Cui'er was useless, so she rarely got a reward on weekdays." The gadgets of the second grandmother, in Cui'er's eyes, are already rare good things, and no one will say anything if she wears them by herself. But......" Mama Hu took out an object wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve, opened it and handed it to Niu, "Madam, please see, this seems to be a grandmother's thing, I have seen the grandmother wear it before." ”
Niu Shi was stunned, took a closer look, and his face sank.
Qin Hanzhen glanced at it a few times, and saw that the handkerchief was wrapped in a golden thing, not big, about one centimeter in diameter, but it was a golden flower with exquisite workmanship, and the core of the flower was inlaid with a piece of turquoise the size of a soybean, connected to a silver hairpin rod that was more than two inches long. This is a small gold hairpin, gold and silver rod, not particularly valuable jewelry, but it is also worth a few taels of silver.
Niu said with a calm face: "I remember that this thing was originally a pair, it was brought by Brother Ping's daughter-in-law from home to dowry, and he often wore it on weekdays, but now he has to keep filial piety, so he took it off." If it weren't for the search of Cui'er's house this time, I'm afraid that the family wouldn't know that she stole gold jewelry. When she sells her things, it will be difficult to find them again. Just for this wrong thing, I won't be wronged if I kicked her out!"
Mama Tiger said: "If outsiders ask why our family picked up Cui'er, just use this hairpin as a reason." Although the wife annoyed the second grandmother, she made trouble outside, and it was also to smear the face of the old man and the second master. ”
Niu pouted: "Whatever you want, anyway, I don't want to save face for that surnamed He anymore." If she buys a thief, she won't be innocent!"
Mama Hu smiled and said nothing, but rewrapped the golden hairpin and handed it to Qin Hanzhen: "Sister, don't stare at me, this is your mother's personal thing, you put it away carefully." ”
Qin Hanzhen took the golden hairpin and answered in a low voice.
Mama Hu said to Niu again: "Madam, I don't think it will be possible to go on like this." Cui'er is gone, Zhang's mother has to take care of Sister Sang on weekdays, and there is no one in the grandmother's house, and she doesn't know if she loses anything. Seeing that it is the 'first seven' of the grandmother, if the Guan family comes and sees the mess of the grandmother's things, they will definitely be even more angry. ”
Niu sighed: "This is also true. It's also my fault, I've only been sad for the past few days, and I forgot about this. You go over and clean up in person, let Zhang's mother give you a hand, and lock the house when it's tidy up. Sister Sang'er just let me here. ”
Mama Hu responded, and Niu asked again: "The in-laws vomited blood that day, and there was no news after that, what is going on now?" I know they must be very angry, but Sister Sang is the flesh and blood of Brother Ping's daughter-in-law, she is fine now, why don't the in-laws come to see their granddaughter?"
Qin Han was really stunned, is this talking about the Guan family's mother's family?
