Chapter 33: The Family Banquet (2)
Mrs. Liu asked twice, but no one answered, and the room gradually fell silent. Liu Ruoxi wondered in her heart, who was the peony, this name, she had some impressions in a trance, but she couldn't remember it.
Mrs. Liu San on the side changed her face a little, and the eyes of Mrs. Liu, Liu Da/Grandma and others next to her seemed to fall on Mrs. Liu San unintentionally. Liu Ruoxi saw it clearly, it was waiting to see the lively eyes.
"Third wife, Peony?" Seeing that no one answered, Mrs. Liu asked Mrs. Liu San.
Mrs. Liu San was reluctant, so she had to stand up, but did not answer immediately. Her face was slightly reddened, as if she was angry. However, Mrs. Liu never cared about the emotions of her daughters-in-law.
"Third wife, let me ask you, Peony?" Mrs. Liu asked again, and seemed to be a little moved.
"Back to the old lady, our family is reunited, whether she comes or not, what does it matter." Mrs. Liu San said, her tone a little stiff.
"Mother," Master Liu San was busy smiling at this time, trying to divert the topic.
Old Mrs. Liu waved her hand at Master Liu San, only staring at Mrs. Liu San.
"Don't fool me. It's been a long time since I've been back, why didn't she come to me to kowtow? Is this the rule in your room? Mrs. Liu asked again.
Mrs. Liu San's face became more and more red, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't help but stare at Master Liu San again.
"Mother," Master Liu San didn't wait for Mrs. Liu San to speak, and had already said with a smile, "Peony didn't come back today. She...... She's still to come. She is not in good health these days and can't walk, so someone else has been arranged to take care of her and walk slowly. ”
"Exactly." Mrs. Liu San said busily.
"It's true, not to coax me?" Old Lady Liu looked at Mrs. Liu San suspiciously, as if she wanted to find some different answer from her face.
"It's true, this kind of thing, what to do to coax the old lady." It was Master Liu San who replied, and on the other hand, he pushed Liu Yuhuai to Mrs. Liu and diverted the topic.
Mrs. Liu San seemed relieved and sat down again.
After all, Mrs. Liu is an elderly person, because the old son's family is happy to come back, so there is such a spirit that has lasted until now, but she can't help but show a trace of fatigue. When Mrs. Liu yawned for the first time, Master Liu, Second Master Liu, and Third Master Liu all got up to say goodbye.
"The old lady should rest earlier, she is reluctant to give up the third brother, and it is not too late to get together again tomorrow. The third brother's family came from afar and was tired. Master Liu bowed down and said.
Mrs. Liu was indeed sleepy, so she nodded, and instructed Master Liu and Mrs. Liu to settle the people in Master Liu's room. Everyone stepped forward to salute Mrs. Liu, and then slowly retreated.
Back in Mrs. Liu's room, Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but ask Mrs. Liu.
"Who is Peony?"
Second Mrs. Liu hesitated slightly, glanced at Second Master Liu, and saw Second Master Liu sitting on the couch on the side, already holding a book and looking at it, and didn't seem to notice the conversation between their mother and daughter, so she lowered her voice and told Liu Ruoxi.
“…… It turned out to be the big girl next to the old lady and gave it to your third uncle. ”
"Oh." Liu Ruoxi nodded, and suddenly realized.
Mrs. Liu has a habit of giving her sons the big girls she likes to be housekeepers.
But until now, there is no big girl by the side of Old Lady Liu and Second Master Liu. But that doesn't mean there wasn't an arrangement in the first place.
In the courtyard of Second Mrs. Liu, this topic is a taboo, and almost no one dares to mention it in front of Liu Ruoxi. Liu Ruoxi guessed in her heart, she wanted to come to the second master Liu, and the old lady Liu also wanted to send someone back then, but was rejected by the second master Liu. Mrs. Liu didn't like to see Mrs. Liu, and I thought it was for this reason. And when Master Liu San went out of Beijing, Mrs. Liu was naturally distressed, so she gave Master Liu San the most useful and beautiful peony around her at that time.
But today, Master Liu San's family came back and didn't plan to go back, but they didn't bring Peony back.
"Old lady, even if you don't see anyone, you might as well wait until tonight to ask ......," Second Mrs. Liu sighed.
"If you can think like that, it's not the old lady of our family." Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh. Today, Mrs. Liu did this, and she really slapped Mrs. Liu in the face. Even if you don't see anyone, you should not insist on asking when you think about it, and when you see Mrs. Liusan's appearance, you shouldn't insist on asking. There are many things that can't be slowed down a little bit, and then ask about them when the time is right.
Originally, a family reunion was a very happy thing, but because of this, a shadow was cast. Liu Ruoxi looked at it at the time, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San were not happy later.
"Mother, did you see it?" Liu Ruoji remembered something, so she said to Mrs. Liu, "The eldest sister later sat next to the old lady again, and she called for peonies and pomegranates for a while." I also saw her show the old lady her veil......"
Liu Ruoyuan's handkerchief is embroidered with peonies.
Mrs. Liu shook her head and sighed. What Liu Ruoxi saw, she also saw. She also saw Mrs. Liu say something to Liu Ruojuan while people were not paying attention. After that, Liu Ruojuan went to Liu Ruoyuan's side, and the two sisters bit their ears for a while. After that, Liu Ruoyuan's behavior was a little strange. For example, deliberately called the two girls pomegranate and peony, and asked Mrs. Liu to see if her handkerchief was embroidered well.
"Always...... Worry-free. ”
"In the past, they always dealt with us like this, but now, they are the ones who are in the third room." Liu Ruoxi said.
"Originally, they didn't deal with it." Second Mrs. Liu told Liu Ruoxi. This sentence, Mama Chang also said, looking at today's situation, it is true.
"It would be nice if the old lady could do justice. Hey, I don't know what will happen after this. Mrs. Liu said, obviously a little worried about the future.
"What are you talking about?" Second Master Liu put down the scroll, raised his head, and asked.
……
At this moment, in the Liu family's mansion, except for Mrs. Liu, who was tired and had fallen asleep, the rest of the place was brightly lit.
Master Liu San's family is new to the arrival, so naturally there are a lot of things to settle.
According to Mrs. Liu's instructions, Master Liusan's family still lives in the courtyard where they used to live in Beijing, that is, a suite of courtyards that Master Liu San has been living in since he was not married. This courtyard is very close to Mrs. Liu's courtyard.
When Mr. Liu San went to the room, Mrs. Liu San was complaining to Mr. Liu San.
“…… I didn't take a breath, just stared at me and asked what peony was. I don't know, I still think that Peony is her daughter! "Mrs. Liu San is a hot character, looking at her current appearance, it turns out that when she was in front of Mrs. Liu, she was still gentle.
"What kind of words are these, and what kind of system do people hear?" Master Liu San said busily.
"These people are on the right and left, and they are afraid that no one will hear them. Even if you hear it, what can you do? She asked, but I didn't say it? Anyway, I am also married by Ming Media, and I have given birth to children to the Liu family, and I have accompanied you through all these years of hardship. My face is so worthless. Because a girl who bought it for a few taels of silver asked me in the face. You also saw it at the time, sir, and if you don't tell me your whereabouts, the old lady will cure me. In front of a group of juniors, how will I be a person in the future? The eldest lady almost laughed on the spot! ”
"When she came back from afar, she asked me a word or two. The big girl is in front of her all day long, we Shan'er just came back, shouldn't we call Shan'er over when we eat? …… When we meet, I'm going to catch my mistake, and I won't let go of a girl. Catch up with Ming'er, and I don't know how to interrogate me. ”
"It's okay, whatever you have, it's all on me." Master Liu San comforted Mrs. Liu San and said.
"How to push, you said that the girl is behind, come back slowly. In a few days, the old lady asks for someone, how do you say? Mrs. Liu San glared at Master Liu San and said.
"That's what you did in a hurry." Master Liu San said, "It's just a girl, put it in the house, just an ornament." It's good to talk to my mother when I come back. Now, why bother? ”
"A furnishing, nice to say. It's almost on top of me. I know, you can't bear her. Tomorrow, I'll pack my bags and take a few children back to my parents' house. You go and get that back, you have a good life, isn't it the best? ”
Seeing that what he said was not the first way, Master Liu San was busy haha.
"Look at what you said, don't I rely on you? This happened to me after all. In a few days, it will be the old lady's birthday. When I was busy, I was happy, and I still thought about it, and slowly, it was mixed up. Master Liu San laughed, "The old lady has always had this temper, and she actually has nothing in her heart." ”
"Old lady......" Mrs. Liu San said, her eyes rolled, "I'm afraid that the old lady can't remember it herself, and someone wants her to remember it......"
"How?" Master Liu San asked.
"Don't you see? Shan'er told me just now that she saw ...... "Mrs. Liu San said to Master Liu San like this," there are some good people in that room. Originally, when I first entered the door, my eyes were black, and I had eaten many of their stumbling blocks. The old lady is so disgusted with me, and her roots are in that house. Now, I am also a man with children and daughters, and I have to come back to suffer from their nest. ”
"You are angry, and I don't know it." Master Liu San still laughed.
"You're heartless." Seeing Master Liu San like this, Mrs. Liu San glared at him again, and then smiled, "I'm not the little daughter-in-law I was at the beginning." Now, if they want to treat me like they did at the beginning, they have the wrong idea. I just can't see it in my eyes, and that room is not a decent person! ”
"It's not going to happen." Master Liu San said.
"You men are big outside, and you don't know how difficult it is for us women at home." Mrs. Liu San said, "This is a sight to behold, and it makes people's hearts blocked." It is said that it is not a climate, and this family has also been controlled by them for many years, taking the lead everywhere. ”
"I can't say it's the climate, don't believe it. If nothing else, just talk about it. Master Liu San tapped his fingers on the table, "It's been a few years, and I haven't seen them do it." Now, as soon as we come back, I'm afraid that there will be no more business for them. ”
