Chapter 137
When the old man came home, he wanted to talk to the old lady about the outside as before, and then listen to her nagging about the trivial things at home, but he didn't expect that when he entered the main hall, he didn't even hear a sound.
When I turned around again, I was facing a stinky face of Tora Uehara. The old man couldn't help frowning, your daughter-in-law put on this face when she wasn't there, then my daughter-in-law wasn't there, don't you need to give your kid a good face?
Thinking of this, he immediately waved his hand: "You go back, you can't eat when you look at your face!" You say, your father and mother are not ugly, how did they come to you and become like this? It's dark, it's stupid. โ
The corners of Yuan Dongliang's mouth twitched, the temperature in Yuncheng was already higher than that in the capital, and he often went to the barracks, the wind and the sun were blowing, and his face did not collapse thanks to the ointment that Ning Nianzhi applied to him every morning. Besides, his daughter-in-law doesn't dislike it, what do you dislike an old man, and it's not for you to watch every day. Also, what's wrong with being tall? Isn't it just a bit of a fabric? I don't want you to give money!
"Then I'll go back to dinner, and if my grandfather has any problems, just have someone call me." Yuan Dongliang saluted respectfully, you don't like to look at me, and I don't like to look at you old man.
Returning to his yard, Yuan Dongliang stood in the house for a while, not hearing the voice of Ning Nianzhi coming over to inquire in the past, and was slightly disappointed. The maid from the outer courtyard replied: "What does the eldest young master want to use?" Before leaving, the eldest young lady explained that when the eldest young master had dinner, he would use more soup. โ
While speaking, he secretly looked at Yuan Dongliang, his face was slightly red, his eyes were affectionate, standing in front of Yuan Dongliang and bowing his head slightly, the placket on his chest was a little sagging, just revealing a touch of snow-white color, Yuan Dongliang's eyes swept over, and he couldn't help frowning: "What about Mama Tang?" โ
"Mama Tang followed the young lady out, and Sister Tingxue and Sister Yingxue also followed." The little maid hurriedly said, otherwise, it would not be the turn of a little maid like them. originally thought that the eldest young lady was pregnant, and according to the usual practice, she should choose one of the maids to serve the eldest young master, but she didn't expect that the eldest young lady would never mention it. But now that the eldest young lady is out of the house, the opportunity has come.
Whether it was the opportunity given by the young lady or not, but the matter was solid, the young lady was angry when he turned around, and there were also the young master and the old lady.
It's not one or two people who think like this, it's just that they come to the eldest young master to talk back, and several people are scrambling, thanks to her poor appearance, so she can sneak out while people are not paying attention, and rush to the eldest young master to talk back.
Although her appearance is not top-notch, but this skin, that is not to say, is not her own pride, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that the frost and snow are bullying. The weather is getting hotter, and the clothes are thin, and the movements are a little bigger, so that the eldest young master can see his skin.
The more the little girl thought about it, the happier she became, seeing that Yuan Dongliang didn't speak, she thought that she was fascinated by herself, and her face was a little shy, with a touch of red on her snow-white skin, her eyes were shy and watery, and her eyebrows were affectionate, and she really had a bit of style.
Moving her arm again, her sleeves slipped down a few points, and she was wearing a jasper bracelet on her wrist, which was lined with skin like jade, smooth and snow-white, and the little girl quietly moved forward a small step in shame, and was about to take the initiative again, but she was caught off guard, and the next moment she had already flown out.
The back hit the table, the corner of the table was just pierced to the bone, and the eyes of the pain turned black for a moment, and the tears immediately fell. Then, I heard the eldest young master standing not far away, shouting coldly, "What about people? โ
Someone outside hurriedly came in, the little maid was ashamed, angry and painful, lying on the ground and not daring to move, and the person who entered the door hurriedly saluted: "The eldest young master is back?" The slave and maid counted the time that the young master was coming back soon, so he hurried to the kitchen, and the young lady explained before leaving, and the eldest young master had to eat immediately after he came back, and he couldn't use cold food, so he delayed some time, and the slave and maid failed to fulfill their duties, so they let people break in, and asked the eldest young master to forgive his sins. โ
It was Chunhua who came in, although Ning Nianzhi said that he was a little disgusted that the names of the four of them were too cheesy, but he didn't change it, and now Chunhua and Qiuyue have been promoted to big girls, Ning Nianzhi went out, leaving the two of them to guard the door in the house.
Yuan Dongliang raised his hand and nodded: "The mother-in-law who guards the door, deduct six months, you and Autumn Leaves, deduct three months, which yard is this maid?" Twenty boards, send them back after the beating, and let the steward of the yard come to see me. โ
The corners of Chunhua's mouth twitched, the other one is called Qiuyue, not Qiuye, eldest young master, haven't you been able to remember the name of the maid in your yard for more than half a year? But his face was still respectful and serious: "Yes, the slave and maid will go, the eldest young master will be angry, and the slave and maid will let people come to serve the eldest young master to change clothes?" โ
The people who can be selected by Ning Nianzhi to be promoted to a big girl are all through Ning Nianzhi's strict observation and eavesdropping, not to mention anything else, at least they don't have anything wrong with Yuan Dongliang. Chunhua and Qiuyue didn't go to Yuan Dongliang to get together, in the past, Yuan Dongliang changed clothes, and Ning Nianzhi did it himself, so Chunhua naturally wouldn't interfere.
But if the eldest young master wants to find someone to serve, then it's none of Chunhua's business. She is Ning Nianzhi's eldest maid, but she is also the son of the original family.
Yuan Dongliang waved his hand, signaled Chunhua to retreat, went to the inner room to change his clothes, and when he came out, he saw Qiuyue leading two little maids to set up a meal. Yuan Dongliang sat down, raised his hand and nodded: "You and Chunhua, even if you go to get food, can't you lead the two little maids alone?" Do you have to go with two people? Madame left you not to take care of the house? If you can't even do this, I think you should get out of here as soon as possible, there are a lot of maids in this house, and it just so happens that the second room has moved away, and the people who are waiting for them grab a lot of them, and they don't want to do it, so they change the people they want to do. โ
Chunhua and Qiuyue's faces turned pale, and they knelt down with a pop. Today's matter, it is indeed their dereliction of duty, I thought that the young lady was not there, and the two of them were lazy, not that I didn't expect someone to sneak in, but men, where is there anything that doesn't eat fishy, maybe this matter can please the eldest young master?
But I didn't expect that the eldest young master was really ruthless.
The two of them regretted and anxious, which angered the eldest young master, and they were afraid that there would be no way out in the mansion in the future. If the eldest young master told the eldest young lady again......
"The monthly penalty of three months is still small, if there is such a thing next time, you can also roll up and go home." Yuan Dongliang said coldly, Chunhua and Qiuyue both had cold sweat on their foreheads, this punishment was not heavy, but what the eldest young master said was a little gloomy, and both of them were a little frightened.
"Yes, the slave will not make such a mistake next time." The two of them spoke in unison, but Yuan Dongliang didn't tell them to get up, and raised his hand to pick up the chopsticks. It wasn't until the end of the meal that he waved his hand and motioned for them to come forward and clean up. The two of them were left to dry for a while, and they didn't dare to make a sound, so they tiptoed to pack their things and go out.
Standing outside the courtyard gate, he dared to raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat, glanced at each other, and palpitated: "Let's be careful in the future, this time has passed โกโก time, and I have been a little carried away, forgetting how much the eldest young master values the eldest young lady, and it is also a loss that the cheap skin did not succeed, if there is a case, we are afraid that it will not end well." โ
Qiu Yue hesitated: "The eldest young lady just went out, I'm afraid that the eldest young master is thinking about it, if it is a few days...... Didn't the young lady say that it would be as little as a month, and as much as three months? The eldest young master is a man after all......"
Chunhua frowned: "Don't be stupid, as long as the eldest young master still has feelings for the eldest young lady, he will not take advantage of this time to do anything, if someone comes to you again, you have to figure out your identity, don't you understand what the eldest young master meant just now?" Who is the master you serve? Whose big girl are you? โ
Qiu Yue hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister Chunhua, don't be angry, I was a little confused just now, but now I understand, the eldest young master has a deep love for the eldest young lady, whoever comes is for nothing, we are the people of the eldest young lady, naturally we should be biased towards the young lady, I know what to do in the future." โ
The two of them were muttering and talking, but Yuan Dongliang couldn't hear it. Just after eating and didn't want to move, I took a book and leaned on the soft couch to flip through it, turned two pages and remembered what happened when Ning Nianzhi was at home, the two of them sometimes read a book together, she pointed her fingers on the book, white and pure, slender and delicate, when she saw something interesting, she couldn't help laughing, and occasionally read it out for him to listen, mostly to discuss the plot of the book with him. Sometimes, when he was reading, she would do needlework, and to be honest, there wasn't much time she used needlework from the time she entered the door.
For more than half a year, I made a dress for the old lady, a purse and a fan cover for him, but there is no shortage of sewing rooms in the house, and she is not expected to do needlework to support the family. Therefore, when he saw her doing needlework, he had to try his best to make trouble, because it was too much of an eye to do this at night. Kiss it, hug it, play tricks, and you'll laugh.
Thinking about it too much, Yuan Dongliang couldn't help but sigh, his daughter-in-law was not at home, and life was really difficult. Forget it, I can't read the book, so I just wash and scrub and sleep.
The next day, the house was even quieter, and the other three families had moved out, and the house felt empty. At first, the old man comforted himself that he was much cleaner. But for two days, three days, four or five days, the old man felt that he was a little โกโกquiet, and when he returned home, he followed up in the secret room, and he could hear the echo when he spoke.
The old woman is really ruthless, she took her granddaughter-in-law to have a good time, and she was left with her grandson. Glancing at Yuan Dongliang, the old man hated iron and steel, he used to see him and his daughter-in-law greasy and crooked, they have been separated for a few days, don't you miss his daughter-in-law? If you think about it, you can quickly go and get the people back.
The granddaughter-in-law is back, and the old woman will definitely come back.
Yuan Dongliang was stared at inexplicably, and he didn't know what the old man was smoking, so he stayed with him for dinner two days ago. Anyway, there are only two of them left in this mansion, and it is troublesome to divide them into two sides, so let's just go together. But what's the matter with staring at yourself all the time, you don't seem to have done anything wrong, right?
"Let's go, let's practice." After eating and sitting for a while, the old man got up, Yuan Dongliang was a little helpless: "I just eat, if I do it, I'm afraid that my stomach hurts when I turn around, so why not play chess?" โ
The old man smacked his lips, just play chess, it's all about finding something to do, and this can also kill time.
After another half a month, the grandfather and son also got used to it, ate and played a game of chess, and when it was time to go to bed, they went back separately, got up after a nap and went to the yamen. Come back at night as usual, no one in the house is waiting anyway, and I don't care if I go home sooner or later.
However, if you put things together and deal with them together, you can also free up a day or two. Yuan Dongliang wanted to go to Zhuangzi and ask his daughter-in-law when she would come back. So I came back early in the morning, ready to go to bed early, got up early in the morning, and quickly whipped up, maybe I could feel Zhuangzi go up the morning after tomorrow.
But it was too late to come back a few days ago, and I finally got an early one, but I couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, so I got up and went to the martial arts training ground. I'm so tired that I can fall asleep when I turn around.
After practicing the knife technique for a long time, I came back with a stinky sweat. Chunhua and Qiuyue were still dutiful, and they ordered someone to prepare hot water early. Yuan Dongliang stepped into the bathtub, what should Ming'er take when he goes out? Things at home, it's not uncommon, buy them outside, which shop doesn't take too much time?
Otherwise, go buy the elbows of Dongping Street? The shop was right on the way out of town, so it was just a matter of pausing for a while. Or, the dim sum of Miao Kee Shop? Or, Zhu Ji baked cakes?
Thinking about it, he didn't realize that someone had entered the bathroom, and when there was an extra pair of hands on his shoulders, Yuan Dongliang reacted, and as soon as he raised his hand, he directly carried the person out and smashed it straight on the opposite wall. The man screamed and slid down the wall, and Yuan Dongliang saw that it was a woman.
immediately frowned, it is true that in the past few days, I have seen a lot of such women. When walking, someone suddenly falls, and is falling into his arms, and when he goes to the study, someone will send a snack, obviously not a maid waiting in the study. When practicing martial arts, there will be people holding towels and waiting outside, but they used to be held by small people. When eating, some people will deliberately roll up their sleeves to pick up vegetables, and the weather used to be hot, so I didn't see anyone so unbearable.
Yuan Dongliang is not stupid, his father-in-law in the past, and now his father-in-law, that is also the dragon and phoenix among the people, the talent is all-rounder, handsome, handsome, and has a high status and money, and in the two years when he just returned to Beijing, not only the maid in the family, but also the person who found an excuse to bring the concubine to the door. The maid is just one of them, and there are colleagues outside to send, to put it bluntly, it is four words, through the room, aunt.
Yuan Dongliang frowned impatiently, these people were all dazzled by wealth. In the past, when he first came from the capital, there was nothing else except the love of the old lady, the second room wanted him to die, and his grandfather had not yet decided to completely hand over the original family to him, why didn't he see these maids paste it at that time?
At this time, Yuan Dongliang didn't expect that a ten-year-old child, which maid would be so anxious to send it directly to the door?
"Young master, the slave wants to help you wipe your back." The woman who fell down was still dying, but Yuan Dongliang didn't even stand up, and shouted outside, Chunhua and Qiuyue immediately came in, and when they saw the woman lying in the corner, their faces changed.
It's just a blink of an eye, and it actually makes people get in, if the eldest young master misunderstands that they put people in...... didn't dare to continue to think about it, and the two of them hurriedly made amends: "The slave and maid are negligent, and please ask the eldest young master to forgive the sin, and the slave and maid will drag people out." โ
Yuan Dongliang waved his hand: "This, just hand it over to the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, and Ming'er will sell it directly, if you have a family, even your family will sell it together." โ
The woman in white clothes was startled, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "The eldest young master forgives me, the slave maid really just wants to come to help the eldest young master wipe his back, the slave and maid are loy......al," he said, while looking up at Yuan Dongliang pitifully, there was a pool of water in his eyes, and the pear blossoms brought rain under the candlelight. Chunhua Qiuyue felt a little pity when she looked at it, but Yuan Dongliang's face remained unchanged at all, and he only said in a deep voice: "Didn't you hear?" โ
Chunhua shuddered, hurriedly dragged Qiu Yue, and stepped forward to drag the woman, but the woman was struggling, twisting her body and rubbing her clothes more loosely, while watching Yuan Dongliang beg for mercy.
Yuan Dongliang's brows furrowed even tighter: "Shut up!" "It's not that he's afraid of calling someone, this entire mansion is his, who dares to criticize the master? I just think this sound is a little too noisy, it sounds like a crow, which is very annoying, so it's better not to listen to it.
Chunhua and Qiuyue are two people, there are other mothers-in-law guarding outside, Yuan Dongliang has spoken, no one dares to delay, and he tied people up and sent them to the front yard overnight. Waiting for Yuan Dongliang to fall asleep, Chunhua and Qiuyue glanced at each other, both of them were a little worried, this time the eldest young master didn't directly say what punishment the two of them would receive, but according to the eldest young master's temperament, what he said at the time was not too serious, if he said it later, it would be serious.
"Really, are those people stupid? How many people have these young masters disposed of, none of them are long-hearted, and they have to hit up! Chunhua complained a few rare words, and Qiuyue also sighed: "I was lucky, I thought I was special, but as a result, I cried when I saw the coffin, and we don't have the time to worry about these people now, just say that the two of us ourselves, if the young lady knows that we are derelict in our duties, maybe this kind of month will be the last month." โ
Both of them sighed, Ning Nianzhi's side Tingxue and Yingxue were also a little worried, combed Ning Nianzhi's hair in the morning, endured and endured, but still didn't hold back: "Madam, let's live in Zhuangzi like this?" In case the young master ......"
Ying Xue pinched Xue Ting, Ning Nianzhi smiled and said, "You two, you've been following me for so long, don't you know what kind of character your girl is?" If I didn't have the slightest confidence in Dongliang, how could I dare to leave for so long? โ
After a pause, he said: "I leave now, and I also give a warning to those in the house who want to climb the bed, Yuan Dongliang is not something that anyone can touch." I don't want to be pregnant with a child, and I have to worry about these things, so I just let your eldest young master solve it first, and then I will go back to the baby with peace of mind. โ
She made a move and Yuan Dongliang personally shot but two different results, she made a move, those unwilling people will only say that she is jealous and does not tolerate others or something, maybe after holding it for a long time, she will move her mind crookedly and hit her and the child with her idea. She absolutely can't bear this.
Yuan Dongliang made a move, that is, he was ruthless, Yuan Dongliang can keep this man, and those who want to climb the bed can also die.
"What is Grandmother going to do today?" Before, the old lady became interested in planting flowers, but when she arrived in Zhuangzi, she was even more energetic, and she could find something to do every day, either to ask the old farmer for advice on farming, or to dress up as a peasant woman, and learn to feed chickens and ducks. Even, he followed the lady of Zhuangzi to a nearby town to catch the market, and he didn't take Ning Nianzhi with him, which made Ning Nianzhi resentful.
"The slave maid just inquired with Mama Liao, and last night, the old lady seemed to be a little interested in making acacia cakes." Listening to Xue said with a smile, what this means is that there is probably no need to go outside to toss today.
Ning Nianzhi also smiled: "Let's go and take a look, if it's delicious, you can also watch and learn." โ
The breakfast was relatively light, and Ning Nianzhi's appetite was good, so he ate a bowl of porridge, two small steamed buns, some side dishes, and two pieces of stewed fish, and then got up to find the old lady. When I entered the door and saw the old lady's dress, I couldn't help but smile: "Grandmother, what are you going to do today?" โ
The old lady was very proud: "How am I wearing this dress?" Isn't it spiritual? โ
Ning Nianzhi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, grandmother's body is very spiritual, and she looks neat." โ
"Today, I'm going to pick locust flowers myself, and I'll wait for me to make you locust cakes when I turn around, to ensure that they are delicious, and when I learn them, I can scare your grandfather when I turn back." The old lady said with a smile, carrying her small basket and walking out: "You are waiting for me on the Zhuangzi, if you want to go out for a walk, you have to bring a lot of people with you, and you are not allowed to go to the river, do you know?" I'll be here now, you don't have to worry about it. โ
Ning Nianzhi nodded: "Grandmother, otherwise, I'll go with you, right?" Maybe I can help too, but I can't do it, but I can see the rarity, okay? โ
The old lady hesitated for a moment and nodded: "That's it, you can't walk around, you know?" Okay, let's go pick locust flowers together. As he spoke, he led Ning Nianzhi out with a smile.
Those who can be selected by the head of the village to accompany the old lady are living a very good life, and they will not complain to the old lady. The old lady has lived in Zhuangzi for more than half a month, and she is more and more happy and relaxed, she laughs every day, either learning this or that, she looks like she is several years younger, Ning Nianzhi is very happy to see this result, and she never stops it, but often follows the old lady to walk outside.
I don't know what's going on, the house is still so high, the yard is still so big, and there are a lot of people waiting, but in the Zhuangzi, it is far more relaxing than in the house, as if as soon as I go out, I take off a set of dignified and expensive clothes in the house, and put on light and flowing clothes, and the whole person is a little relaxed.
