Chapter Forty-Six: Grandpa Sun
"Sent away?"
"Sent away. A little man bowed back to speak, for a while, did not hear the command again, leaned to the side, and looked at the previous speaker at an angle, only to see a fifty or sixty-year-old gray-haired man struggling to write, smiling so much that his face was deeply frowned.
"What's going on in that house?"
The little servant lowered his head, "The door in Rongguo's Mansion is closed, even the people who came out to buy look like they have palpitations, except for the news from Zhang Da just now, nothing else can be found, but"
The old man listened to the little girl's words at the beginning, his brows tightened, and he listened to "but", afraid that he had missed something, so he asked anxiously, "But what?"
The little guy didn't dare to delay, pouring beans like that, "I found out in Ningguo Mansion, saying that it will be a few days, Doctor Sun will treat the girl, and after the end, there may be a young master Jia Lian from the big house who will go to the master to confess in person." ”
It turned out that the old man was the old housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, when Lin Ruhai's father was still there, when Lin Ruhai did not enter the official career, the Lin family lived in Beijing, and later when the family went, Lin Ruhai returned to his hometown in Gusu to guard filial piety, and after the end of the filial piety period, he took the imperial examination and became famous in one fell swoop. Later, Lin Ruhai sent the girl into Beijing, let the old housekeeper watch more, the old housekeeper should be strong, and he was full of interest to arrange manpower everywhere, in order to find out the situation of his own girl, it was better at first, and they all said that the old lady was very good to the girl, and his granddaughter retreated, although there were some small voices saying that the girl was not, he also thought that those people could not eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, but these days, the rumors have become more and more serious, just when he wanted to inquire carefully, it was strictly forbidden, and he got that the girl seemed to be sick because of the rumors, and he didn't know anything else, this was still the news he just got from Zhang Da。
Now Brother Dafang Lian has gone to ask for sin, does this mean that it is not good?
Lin Fu's fist clenched loudly, the Lin family has always been in a single line, and in this generation, there is only one single seedling of Lin Daiyu, and the Jia family is still bullying to this point, which is really unreasonable!
"Steward Lin! Steward Lin!" the little guy woke up Lin Fu, Lin Fu came back to his senses, smoothed out the corner of the crumpled rice paper that he had pinched, saw that the words on the paper were dry, folded it, put it in the envelope, sealed it with fire paint, and then stamped his own seal on the seal. Carefully handed the letter into the hands of the servant, and instructed, "You send someone to deliver the letter to the master quickly, and remember not to delay." ”
The little guy understood and whispered yes, and Fei also went out with the letter.
At this time, on the other side, an old man in ragged clothes came to the gate of Ning Guofu, and the leader who guarded the gate drove the old man away softly.
"Uncle, hurry up! this is not a good place to beg. He also took out a few copper plates from his waist and gave them to the uncle.
I didn't want the uncle to frown, his eyes widened, he sprinkled the copper plates, and said, "Go to your one who asks for food, and give your family a call for the master, saying that my grandfather is back!
A few young and vigorous young men behind the leader were furious, some helped the leading brother pick up copper plates, and some shouted, "Oh, hey!
The leader hurriedly stopped and scolded, "Things that don't have long eyes, how did I teach you in the past, dogs look at people with low eyes!"
The most important thing to guard the door is his eyesight, and since he was arranged by his master to look at the most important door in this house, he naturally has his pride. This old man really looks like a flower, but after a closer look, the material of the clothes is a few points better than the one on his body, and in addition, when he called the lord of the house, he was not half in awe, and his tone was quite familiar, looking at his face was a little familiar, but if he wanted to recognize it carefully, this unkempt face really couldn't be recognized.
In any case, the most important point of guarding the door is that he would rather look high than underestimate, even if he is really a flower child, he can also give the master a good reputation of being a corporal of Lixian and pity the poor, and look down, others seem to be bullying others, and then by those people with broken mouths, the master will be annoyed and blame them for a qiē, and a word of lax discipline will be gone. But be careful not to lose the bearing of the Guogong Mansion, the degree in this is not to say, the leader thought.
"This, eh, uncle, they are young and ignorant, please forgive the uncle first, the uncle will sit here first. As he spoke, he slapped the stunned little brother on the head, "Stinky boy, don't move the stool yet!" Although the kid is not smart, he can still understand people, so he moved the stool awkwardly.
"Uncle, I'm going to invite someone here, wait a minute!"
After speaking, he took a little brother and walked two steps to the door, and the little brother asked in a daze, "What's the matter?"
The leader pinched him, "You stupid goose! Although they are all slaves, but this slave is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the top minions follow the master every day, and the rewards are more, and the minions below do not see the master all year round, in addition to the rules, only like the big girl was born when the whole house rewards can get more things, and a few minions are even only able to see the master when they are matched, which is why so many people want to make up in front of the master.
It stands to reason that they should first go to the housekeeper in charge of them, and then let the housekeeper notify Jiao Da, the chief steward of the outer courtyard, and wait for Jiao Da to see and agree before they can lead people to see the master, but due to the particularity of guarding the gate, the head master of Ning Guofu gave them the right to directly see the chief steward of the outer courtyard. So the meaning of the leader is naturally to go to Jiao Da.
The little brother understood, and went in to find Grandpa Jiao.
After a while, Jiao Da came out, Jiao Da saved the master's life in his early years, and he was very faceless in front of the big and small masters of Ningguo Mansion, the boys didn't see him in the past, a Jiao Da came in person, and they all came up to please him, although Jiao Da was old, his strength was not small, and he pushed everyone away, and took three steps and two steps to the old man's side.
"Grandpa Sun is here, the master has been waiting for you for a long time, come in!"
The boys opened their mouths in shock, especially the scolding boy, who couldn't shrink into a ball, and the tall and strong boy cowered so much that he hid behind the boy who was a head shorter than him, which was really ridiculous, but fortunately no one looked at him. The leader breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, thinking that he was better to be careful.
"It's Jiao boy, since you're in a hurry, don't pull your grandfather in!" The old man was a little tired all the way, and he didn't pretend anymore.
Even if Jiao Da was in front of his master, he couldn't drag it, but in front of this sloppy old man, he respectfully led people in.
Not to mention the suspicions of the boys outside, the old man surnamed Sun was led directly to the study by Jiao Da and guarded the door by himself.
