Chapter 267: Please come out
Chapter 267, please come out
The mother-in-law lowered her eyelids and sighed secretly, this concubine is okay, but if it is not good, even these slaves and maids are not as good.
"Auntie, don't cry, if you cry and hurt the child, it's terrible, so let's go to our house quietly, if my aunt has something to say to me, I'll bring it to my aunt."
Zou stopped crying, thought for a long time, nodded, and explained to his mother-in-law in a low voice, and the mother-in-law agreed, telling the little girl to wait carefully, turn around and go out, and did not call a car, only walked the alley all the way, and went to Zou's house.
After more than an hour, the mother-in-law cautiously turned into the inn, and when she saw that Jin Zhiyang had not returned, she breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the placket, knocked on the door and entered the house.
Zou looked at her with longing in his eyes and asked eagerly:
"What did Mother say? What did my father say? Is he going to talk to his master? ”
The mother-in-law's eyes flickered, and she stepped forward to help Zou sit down, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, and whispered:
"I didn't see the master, the wife said, let the aunt do her duty, originally sent the aunt over, I just want you to serve the young grandmother and the master with your heart."
The mother-in-law's voice lowered, and she was silent for a moment, and then said selectively:
"Mrs. said that the lord was impeached and lost his official position a while ago, and now how can he have this thought, let the aunt take care of herself, do her duty, and ...... Auntie, don't think about it. ”
What does that mean? Where am I not doing my job? How else do you do your job? My father lost his official position, so he didn't care if I lived or died? ”
Zou straightened up again and screamed, the mother-in-law smiled awkwardly, looked at the sad and angry Zou with pity, and was speechless.
Zou got sick that night, Jin Zhiyang was irritable, and he didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he only ordered someone to ask the doctor to diagnose the pulse and heal, because he was pregnant, the doctor didn't dare to use the medicine ruthlessly, only dared to prescribe some very mild prescriptions, and Zou's disease got up every day.
Li Xiaonuan has been worried since she received the prince's instructions to invite the old lady to come out on her birthday to receive the ceremony, these days, although the old lady is willing to read the battle report every day and talk to her, but every time she persuades her to walk around outside Rui Zitang, she has persuaded countless times, until now, she has not been persuaded once, and now there are only ten days before the old lady's birthday, if everything is ready, the old lady refuses to come out, alas, she doesn't come out, who can have any way?
Li Xiaonuan was worried, and instructed Zhuqing to wrap up the two booklets that recorded the customs of the old lady's birthday in previous years and the gift lists of various mansions, and instructed her to take the battle report sent by the little servant in the prince's study, and took Zhuqing and cicada wings out of the courtyard gate, sat in a sedan chair, and went all the way to Ruizitang.
The old lady read the battle report carefully, turned her head to look at the worried Li Xiaonuan, and frowned,
"I told you, this battle report is clear, Xiao Ke's ability to fight is passable, don't worry about it, it's okay."
"Hmm."
Li Xiaonuan nodded worriedly and agreed,
"I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about myself."
The old lady put down the battle report and looked at Li Xiaonuan carefully,
"What's wrong?"
"It's not happening, old ancestor, in ten days, isn't it your birthday? That's what worries me. ”
"What's the matter? I won't go out, let them go as they go!"
The old lady waved her hand and said, Li Xiaonuan looked at the old lady and said worriedly:
"If you don't go out, I can't help but go out, right? This year is the first time for me to celebrate the birthday of Zhang Luo's ancestor, from marrying in to become a family, or the first time to go back to Zhang Luo's family, ancestor, you say, if it is not done well, in the future, you have to stand on Liwei, but how to stand? ”
The old lady looked at Li Xiaonuan, who had a sad face, and said slowly:
"If you want to stand on Liwei, you can't be on top of this."
"Why aren't you on top of this? Ancestor, don't you know, in February, Princess Jingbei celebrated her 55th birthday, and my mother and I went to celebrate her birthday, and they did a really good job! It's lively and festive, everyone in the capital, dignitaries and eunuchs, there is no one who doesn't go, everyone says good! Ancestor, you think, then the princess of Jingbei is still your junior, it is so lively, if I give you this birthday, it is not as good as others...... Alas!"
Li Xiaonuan let out a long sigh, and the old lady ignored Li Xiaonuan's long sigh, and said a little stunned:
"That girl is fifty-five?"
Li Xiaonuan was stunned, raised her eyebrows, clapped her hands and laughed,
"The girl? That's why the ancestors can call people like that! That girl's grandson is in his teens!"
The old lady glanced at Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan rubbed forward, and said with a smile:
"Ancestor, I heard, that'...... Princess Jingbei is also a martial artist? I heard that I just got married, so I beat the king of Jingbei? ”
"Not really!"
The old lady recalled the past, her eyes were full of smiles,
"That girl is also a capable person, although I have never seen her use soldiers, that battle must be not bad! Whether it's good or not, the kid of the Yang family thinks she can't do anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and on the wedding day, she shouted that she wants to find another talented girl who is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she deserves it!"
Li Xiaonuan nodded heavily and said approvingly:
"You deserve it! Ancestor, don't say it, it's really changed, over the years, I haven't heard that the king of Jingbei has taken a concubine. ”
The old lady's face was gloomy, Li Xiaonuan looked at her carefully, sighed heavily, pulled the old lady's sleeve and shook it gently, and said worriedly:
"Ancestor, I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can't do kung fu, I can't fight, old ancestor, you say, I have to have some strengths, right? Ancestor, on your birthday, no matter what, I have to be decent and decent, and being able to run a family is also a strength, right? ”
The old lady slapped Li Xiaonuan's hand away,
"You can do whatever you want, I won't go out!"
"Ancestor, you will come out for a while, just for a while, the family will kowtow to you, and I will send you back, Ancestor, you haven't seen your aunt for many years, right? My aunt is a little old, and King Jing, that is, Xiao Jing, he has been crowned King Jing, and in a few months, he will have a child, the old ancestor, that is the fourth generation. ”
The old lady was silent and didn't speak, Li Xiaonuan looked at her carefully, continued to rub forward, and pulled the old lady's sleeve,
"Ancestor, if you don't go out, I won't be able to live this day, I'll move in today and live with you."
The old lady raised her hand and patted Li Xiaonuan's head,
"What does it matter if I can't get out? It's not the first year!"
"It matters! How sad it is that my aunt can't see you when she comes back! Motherless children are the most pitiful!"
"Hey, you kid, your aunt is a concubine, how can you come back when you say you come back?"
"My aunt will definitely come back, you celebrate your birthday, can she still come back? Old Ancestor!"
Li Xiaonuan then shook the sleeves of the old lady's clothes back and forth, but she didn't let go, the old lady was entangled by her.
"Okay, if your aunt comes back, I'll go out and receive her gifts!"
Li Xiaonuan was overjoyed,
"What does the ancestor say counts? When my aunt returns, you have to come out and receive her gifts!"
"When do I speak and don't count?"
The old lady looked at Li Xiaonuan and said, Li Xiaonuan nodded with a smile,
"That's that, the ancestor is not me, the ancestor is a man of his word, and he must practice what he says!"
Li Xiaonuan came out of Rui Zitang with relaxed steps, and hurriedly rushed to the main courtyard to report, and the princess became anxious and flustered.
"Hurry up! It's a little tight at this time! It is necessary to invite the troupe, invite hundreds of operas, build a stage, arrange the customs defense, and build a reed shed...... We have to hurry!"
"Mother, don't worry, I have to tell my father about this matter quickly, he has to tell the foreign stewards to do everything outside, and there are still more than ten days, and it is not very urgent."
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly persuaded the princess, and the princess raised her hand to stroke her chest and breathed a sigh of relief,
"I'm so happy, I'm flustered when I'm happy, it's okay, it's okay, I'm going to let people invite the master in, we have to discuss this matter carefully."
In the afternoon of the same day, the Runan Mansion began to be busy, and Li Xiaonuan was even more busy with his feet on the ground, and he didn't even have time to eat.
After seven or eight days of busyness, I finally have some clues, Li Xiaonuan is still busy from morning to night, this night, back to Qinglian Courtyard, it is already the right time, bamboo leaves welcome out of the house, lift the curtain, Li Xiaonuan tiredly stepped into the house, in the house, Mama Wei looked at Li Xiaonuan with concern, bent her knees and saluted, behind Mama Wei, Cheng Xuyi bent her knees, glanced at Li Xiaonuan timidly, and lowered her head again.
Li Xiaonuan looked at Mama Wei and Cheng Suyi with some surprise, took two steps forward to help Mama Wei up, and signaled to Cheng Suyi,
"Mama hasn't rested so late? Waiting for me? ”
"No, the young lady is very busy these days, don't be tired, you have to rest more."
"I know, don't worry, Mama, I won't be tired of myself."
Li Xiaonuan helped Mama Wei to sit on the couch, and let Cheng Suyi sit down with a smile, Mama Wei took Li Xiaonuan's hand, looked at her face carefully, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:
"I'll just say a few words, and I'll leave after speaking, and the young lady will hurry up and rest."
Li Xiaonuan nodded, Mama Wei turned around and took a pair of shoes from Cheng Xuyi's hand and handed them to Li Xiaonuan.
"Look, are these shoes well done?"
Li Xiaonuan took the shoes and turned his head to look at Cheng Xuyi,
"This is what Sister Flocculent did?"
"No, the third lady's needlework is stronger than you back then, and she is willing to work hard, you see, but after studying for a few months, these shoes are very good."
Li Xiaonuan looked at the shoes carefully, although it was incomparable with Mama Wei's needlework, but it was extremely rare for a seven or eight-year-old child to be able to do this.
"Well, these shoes are really well made! Who is this for? ”
"To the Ancestors."
Cheng Xuyi's face was flushed, and she said with joy:
"I want to ...... I want to give my ancestors a birthday gift. ”
Li Xiaonuan looked at Cheng Xuyi with pity, and then lowered her head and looked at her shoes carefully, the ancestor never mentioned Cheng Xuyi, what kind of mood did she have for Cheng Xuyi, the granddaughter of the concubine? If these shoes are given away, is it good or bad?
