Chapter 7: Gossip
The Song family took everything on themselves, and Yu Zhu and the others couldn't quarrel anymore, so they had to laugh and say: "The weather is indeed hotter." ”
Song said with a smile: "It's good to dissipate your anger, let's go into the house quickly, I'll ask people to take down the longan red date tea, and make another honeysuckle tea, let's all go and get rid of the fire in the body." ”
Everyone laughed, some pulled the Yu family, some hugged the Zhu family, and walked in twos and threes.
Because at this time, the spring flowers are blooming and the breeze is slow, it is a good time to enjoy the scenery, and it is their own concubines to have fun, so everyone does not enter the main house, but goes to the small flower hall in the inner courtyard to laugh.
Taking advantage of the new tea that the Song family ordered the steward to change, and no one took care of him, Mrs. Zhu beckoned her daughter Yufeng to come to her, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Mother was bullied, and you are staring at it like no one? ”
Yufeng said aggrievedly: "In front of the elders, how can there be any reason for the younger generations to intervene? You have always said that Qiu Ruyi is unruly, let your daughter have less contact with her, so as not to be tired, but now you want your daughter to learn from her disrespectful elders......"
Mrs. Zhu glared at her daughter and snorted coldly: "You have stiff wings now, you know that you have blocked your mother with words, and your mouth is so clever, why don't you see it? ”
Yufeng's eyes turned red, this is because her mother can't quarrel with others, so she is angry with herself: Fang Cai is obviously the incident provoked by her mother, otherwise she won't be bored, Qiu Ruyi has always acted unscrupulously, and she can't beat and scold herself, not only does she lose face, but she looks as vulgar and pungent as her.
For a while, the girls served tea, and Yufeng had a chance to retreat to the back.
After Yu's cup of tea, his face calmed down, and he smiled at Song's family: "There have been a lot of things at home recently, and I haven't come to say hello to the old lady for a long time, I don't know if I have the honor to meet the old lady today?"
Song said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's a little unfortunate today, the old lady wants to chant today, and I'm afraid she won't be able to leave the small Buddha hall for a while." ”
Sure enough, the girl said back and forth: The old lady has already gone to the small Buddha hall, and she is afraid that she will not come out until after the lunch in the afternoon.
Yu said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I don't dare to disturb the old lady's worship of the Buddha, so I have to come to the old lady next time to say goodbye." ”
Mrs. Zhu had just fallen behind, and she was unwilling in the end, so she smiled at this time: "If Sister Yu hadn't been stumped by mundane things earlier, she should have been able to greet the old lady with us." ”
Qiu Ruyi rarely didn't open her mouth, because she knew it in her heart: her mother asked Mrs. Qiu to say goodbye, and only once out of ten times could she see her.
Qiu Ruyi observed in several invitations that it was not because Mrs. Qiu looked down on her mother, but because she avoided her mother, but that Yu had always kept silent about this matter, and she didn't know the reason for it.
The Song family didn't want to say more about this matter, so they moved on to other topics, and everyone naturally followed suit to say something else, but it seemed that Mrs. Zhu was out of place, and Qiu Yufeng felt more and more embarrassed.
Fortunately, at this time, the Song family instructed her daughter Yuqing to take a few sisters to the garden for a walk, which relieved Qiu Yufeng's embarrassment.
Mrs. Zhu's mother and daughter whispered, and the people next to them also heard a thing or two, those ladies were a little older, but they didn't hear it, but a few little girls couldn't help but sympathize with Qiu Yufeng.
No matter how inappropriate Mrs. Zhu is, Yu Shi said that Qiu Ruyi, as a junior, can't resist it.
Besides, Qiu Ruyi spoke so harshly, and some of these young ladies had a family background similar to Mrs. Zhu's family.
At the same time, Miss Zhu also knew that Qiu Ruyi had a bad reputation unexpectedly, and couldn't help but hate Qiu Ruyi for ruining the reputation of the Qiu family's daughter.
Therefore, when everyone was playing in the garden, except for Qiu Yuqing, who ignored Qiu Ru's accident because she was the host's family, the other people just enjoyed the scenery and talked and laughed, ignoring Qiu Ruyi.
Qiu Ruyi was still proud of her mother, and the elders didn't say that she was not, and Mrs. Zhu reprimanded her daughter for this, so she felt more and more that she was doing the right thing, and she was the oldest, so she took out the eldest sister's money and pointed at the attractions in the park, and finally found that no one paid attention to her except her own personal girl, and she felt bored.
Qiu Ruyi said to Qiu Yuqing that she was going to change her clothes, and as soon as she walked out of a short distance with the girl, she heard the happy place behind her and laughed heartily.
Chu Er couldn't help but say angrily: "What is it to laugh, what is so funny." Could it be that one of them stumbled and knocked his teeth?"
Xing'er hurriedly dragged Chu'er, and pointed to the little girl who led the way in front of her.
In this case, he couldn't lose the position, Chu Er had no choice but to shut up, but Qiu Ruyi smiled disapprerovingly: "It's better this way, just without constraints, let's play our own happily." ”
This is true, Qiu Ruyi and his entourage enjoyed the flowers and willows, and there was a little girl from Qiu Mansion who introduced each landscape in a colorful way, although Qiu Ruyi also played in this garden a few times, but this time it was the most enjoyable.
After watching the gorgeous peony flowers, Qiu Ruyi and the others smelled a burst of fragrance, and it turned out that a few white magnolia trees not far away had bloomed.
The little girl also said happily: "This was planted by Gongzi a few years ago, and it has never bloomed, but I didn't expect it to bloom this year." ”
When Qiu Ruyi heard this, he couldn't help but get excited, so he wanted to go over and enjoy it, and a few people walked along the stone road, just passing through a rockery, but saw a clear stream gushing out of the mountain, Qiu Ruyi couldn't help but stop, not wanting to stop but causing things to happen.
It turned out that there were a few mothers-in-law who took care of the flowers and trees, who had just finished their work and sat on the side of the rockery to rest and gossip, and when Qiu Ruyi came over, they happened to be foaming at the mouth and talking about Yu.
I only heard a mother-in-law say: "If you want to say that this Yu family is really lucky, a merchant girl, no matter how rich she is, she can't wear silk and satin, gold beads and jade hairpins." The blessings he cultivated in his previous life actually married into the Qiu family and became an official's wife, and this blessing could not be found in Shunyang City. ”
The person next to him echoed: "No, otherwise she is a good Buddha, and I don't know how much silver she sprinkles in the temple every year, and the odds are more than those given to the ancestors of the ancestral hall of the Qiu family." ”
The previous mother-in-law said: "If you don't say that the merchant girl has little knowledge, the temple should be for the Buddha and Bodhisattva, but you can't ignore the ancestors, without the ancestors of the Qiu family, where did she come from to do it." A few years ago, it was better, but I heard that now it is getting more and more stingy, and the things that cost money in the mortal clan are not willing to pay more, if there is no one, forget it, and the one who favors her family's gold and silver mountains, the businessman loves money is really true. ”
"No, if the clan is more generous in some things, it can also make the people in the clan look up to it. It's just that the Yu family is the master in the end, who dares to say much about the money, I expect her to think of it herself, and I don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey. ”
Qiu Ruyi was already angry, and when she heard this, she looked at the two little girls in Qiu's mansion and sneered: "It turns out that I still know that I am a slave and a maid, and when I talk about my master, I am the head." Go, call them to me, and I'll listen to their insights. ”
The two little girls were already leading the way in front, but when they saw Qiu Ruyi stopping, they hurriedly turned back again, and when they heard Qiu Ruyi's instructions, they stood there a little at a loss.
Chu'er's chest was already filled with righteous indignation, and when she saw this, she wanted to walk over there in person to call someone, but she was pulled by Xing'er and laughed loudly at the two little girls: "I don't know what errands the eldest sisters over there are doing in the house, and they are bothering the two to call them over, my young lady has something to ask." ”
The little girl still didn't move, and the people behind the rockery immediately silenced when they heard the words, and it took a long time to see the three mothers-in-law move over slowly, and saluted Qiu Ruyi: "I've seen Miss Ruyi." ”
I didn't want Qiu Yuqing and the others to be admiring the flowers nearby, and they also came over when they heard the movement.
When Qiu Yuqing saw those mothers-in-law, she couldn't help but take a closer look at Qiu Ruyi, and said with a smile: "Sister Ruyi's face is not good, isn't it that these rough mothers-in-law collided with my sister?"
Qiu Ruyi also smiled: "What is it if you collide with me, I just think that a few of them are really condescending in this mansion, and they actually want to teach my mother to do things!"
Qiu Yuqing's face changed, she glanced at the mothers-in-law and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
The mothers-in-law were busy with smiling faces and said: "This is really a misunderstanding, the little ones have the heart of a bear and a leopard, and they don't dare to arrange the master." ”
