Chapter 060: Discussing Family Affairs
Mrs. Tai said lightly: "That's why I called you here to discuss this matter." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Dong Liang and they are leaving, and there is a little shortage of manpower, I think Zhong Cai is very capable, so it is better to call him to help. ”
There was a strange silence in the room for a moment.
In that brief moment, Lin's expression stiffened for a moment, but Zhong was stunned, raised his head, and glanced at Mrs. Tai in surprise.
Zhong Cai's family is Zhong's companion room. She never thought that Mrs. Tai would let her companion take care of the affairs of the house.
As soon as the affairs of the Eastern Courtyard are taken care of, this is a tacit matter of the Qin Mansion, and Mrs. Tai's sudden move is confusing.
Zhong lowered his eyes and quickly turned his thoughts.
Frankly speaking, she didn't want to meddle in the complicated internal affairs of the Qin family, let alone let the Lin family have a chance.
The Lin family has always attached great importance to the power of the family, and the smart thing is to let her go, as long as she doesn't come to the West Courtyard, it's okay to be deaf and dumb. And once the miscellaneous affairs in the mansion are touched, there may be troubles in the future.
"This ...... I'm afraid that Zhong Cai is too clumsy and can't help much. Zhong said softly, wiping the corners of his lips with a cloth towel, "Besides, the eldest brother is going to arrive next month, and the road is not easy to walk in this weather, so I am about to send Zhong Cai to greet him." ”
Zhong's reason for this is excellent.
Zhong's eldest brother Zhong Jingren has been helping the Qin family take care of several kiln factories, and he will return to the house at the end of each year to pay the account, and give some New Year's gifts by the way, which is also a long-standing rule in the house. Zhong used him as an excuse, but it couldn't be repeated.
Mrs. Tai seemed to have expected Zhong to say this, and said kindly: "It will be a few days before your brother passes through the house, but everything in the next year needs to be done right now." Listen to me, first call Zhong Cai to come over to help, and then talk about it. ”
The tone is gentle, but the attitude is categorical.
Lin was full of displeasure, but he couldn't show it, so he had to take the hand in his sleeve out of his breath, pinch and put it away, and it hurt his bones.
Mrs. Tai's attitude was so resolute, and the Zhong family had no choice but to say obediently: "Yes, just listen to Aunt Taijun's orders." ”
Mrs. Tai smiled with satisfaction, and said to the Lin family: "You have also worked hard, I will arrange Zhong Cai's work, and you only care about the affairs in your hands." ”
Lin's expression could barely be maintained, if it weren't for Old Madam Wu secretly pushing her, she was afraid that she would be wronged on the spot.
It also makes so much sense.
Dong Liang left, it was Mrs. Tai's person, Mrs. Tai wanted to arrange for him to give gifts, she had nothing to say. However, Zhong Cai is a person from the West Courtyard, and he arranged it to come in, which is already uncomfortable, but Mrs. Tai still has to take care of this person herself, and put the Lin family, the head of the house, aside, it would be strange if she had no grievances.
Seeing that the green aura on Lin's face was faintly visible, Mrs. Wu's heart moved slightly, and she wanted to help say a few words, after all, their eastern courtyard was of one heart.
However, her mouth opened, and she suddenly remembered that Dong Liang was going to Dadu, and in the final analysis, she was still helping Zuo Sikuang. Mrs. Tai was willing to nod her head to help, and they owed a favor in the East Courtyard, and now they will not suffer a loss if they use Zhong Cai to compensate.
The thought in his heart turned around, and the original words of the scolding could no longer be spoken, Old Madam Wu's open mouth paused for a moment, and Fang squeezed out a paragraph: "Aunt Jun is working hard, what can I help and speak, I will spare no effort." ”
Kind words are always catchy.
Mrs. Tai's face was a little pale, and she said gently: "That's fine, you and I are a family after all, and we need to work together for the sake of the Qin family." The eye wind is impartial, and it just swept on Lin's body.
Lin Shi was touched by the sharp and cold gaze, how many grievances and resentments were frozen into ice slag, and his momentum weakened, he raised his heart and softened his voice, got up and said, "Follow the teachings of Aunt Taijun." ”
Zhong also got up and tied, and said, "Aunt Taijun has taught you a lesson. ”
Seeing this, Yu Shi couldn't sit anymore, so he also stood up, hanging his head and not saying much.
She didn't know anything about today's events, and she sat there without saying a word, but Mrs. Ran taught her two granddaughters-in-law, but she, the former eldest granddaughter-in-law, couldn't watch it, so she had to say something.
Seeing Yu standing up, Mrs. Tai hurriedly said, "That's it, sit down, the eldest lady also sits, you have worked hard." ”
Yu Shi sat down according to his words, and said softly: "Taijun Gu wants to rest, I have been busy for a long time today, I think I am tired." ”
Mrs. Tai was indeed a little tired, so she nodded when she heard this: "After sitting for a long time, my bones are loose." As he spoke, he waved his hand to Wu, Gao, Lin, and Zhong: "You guys go and get busy, it's snowing outside, and the road is slow." ”
Seeing that she looked tired, everyone didn't dare to delay any longer, and after retreating, they went out of the house in pairs.
The snow outside was falling tightly, it was really snowing, Qiongyu was dancing, and when you looked at it, you couldn't even see the figure on the other side.
A few people had their own thoughts, and they were not in the mood to look at the scenery, so they nodded their heads, and then raised their umbrellas and took their pockets, and after a while, the few figures disappeared in the heavy snow that continued to rise to the earth, and they disappeared in a moment.
*****************************
The heavy snow fell all night, and the next day, the snow was clear, and the world was full of clear light, so that people could not open their eyes.
As soon as Qin Sufu woke up, he was shaken by the white snow light on the window, and blinked his eyes before he got used to it.
Yesterday's night was Jinxiu, and at the moment she was sleeping on the floor by the smoke cage, her eyes closed tightly, just a good dream.
Qin Su didn't call people either, he lightly lifted the cloth tent, took off his shoes and went to the bookcase, and reached out to push the window, but the window sash did not move at all.
"Why is the girl so up?" Ah Li walked in from outside, his face was frozen red and simple, like a red fruit, and his hair was dripping with water.
She saw that Qin Su was only wearing a linen jacket, and she stepped forward to complain: "It's so cold that you can freeze your fingers, the girl should dress strictly and get up again, go back to the bed quickly." As he spoke, he kicked Jinxiu with his foot again, and scolded: "Sleep like a pig, and lie flat is a dead pig." ”
Qin Su couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly shook his mouth with his hand, and was pushed back to the couch by Ah Li, and she helped to dress.
Jinxiu took those few kicks, but she still slept soundly, and she didn't even turn over a single one.
Ah Li laughed again when he looked at her, and he didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he attached himself to Qin Su's ear and said, "Girl, look, isn't it a dead pig?"
Qin Su poked her head and didn't make her say more.
Ah Li has served Qin Su for a long time, but he also found some doorways, and knew what Qin Su meant, so he let go of this topic and said: "It's too cold outside, the window sashes are all frozen, and they can't be opened, so I'll ask someone to pour hot water over them in a while." ”
Qin Su listened casually, suddenly remembered something, leaned into the account, took out a pile of paper from under the pillow, and stared at the words on it.
This is the "Chengmen Lixue" at the corner gate of the West Courtyard yesterday, and finally asked for a few poems written by him from Qin Yanzhao, and the title is "I want to read the poems of the second brother, and by the way, I will learn the characters according to the words of the second brother".
