Chapter 52: The Gap
The first is to ask for pink.
The backyard of the Liu family, the small cross-courtyard near the South Corner Gate, is the residence of Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma. At this moment, in the house across the courtyard, Liu Da/Grandma is instructing the nurse of the big official.
"I hugged the big official and went to sleep, and I was more vigilant at night. Let me know that you are careless, and I can't spare you. ”
The nurse hurriedly agreed, and walked away cautiously with the big official in her arms. Grandma Liu's face was a little gloomy, and the girls serving in the room hardly dared to pant loudly. They all know that Liuda/Grandma is in a bad mood at the moment. Almost all of these people in the house have been scolded by Liuda/Grandma.
In this case, being scolded is quite light. They still remember that once Liu Da/Grandma and Liu Yujiang got angry, and let people beat a little girl to the point of breathing. The little girl was sent home that night, and Grandma Liu gave twenty taels of silver. When the little girl returned home, she stayed up until dawn and was gone. Liu Da/Grandma later gave ten taels of silver, and the matter was revealed.
The girls were silent, and the two daughters of Liuda/Grandma were also frightened at this time, and the eldest sister and the second sister stood on the ground with their hands down, hanging their heads, and they didn't dare to speak.
"Eldest sister, tonight, you take the second sister to sleep in the back room." Liu Da/Grandma calmed her face and took a sip of tea, as if she saw that the eldest sister and the second sister were still there, so she ordered.
Even in the face of the two daughters, Liu Da/Grandma's face did not ease in the slightest.
"Yes." The eldest sister agreed yes, pulled the second sister to curtsy to Liuda/Grandma, and went out lightly.
Liu Da/Grandma is still sitting on the couch drinking tea. The water in the teacup was empty, and she didn't put it down. A pair of eyes swept gloomily towards the inner room. After a while, I could hear footsteps in the inner room. Liu Yujiang had already taken a bath and changed his clothes, and walked out with some unsteady steps.
Accompanied by Liu Yujiang, there were two girls, Xia He and Dong Mei.
Liu Da/Grandma's eyes swept over Liu Yujiang's body, and landed on the two girls like knives, scraping the two girls from head to toe.
The plackets of the two girls were a little wet, but they were still neat, and their faces were silent.
Liu Yujiang walked across from Liu Da/Grandma and sat on the couch. I want tea on one side.
A girl was about to step forward, glanced at Liu Da/Grandma, and didn't dare to move.
"A room full of dead people!" Liu Yujiang said angrily, raised his hand, and swept a bottle on the low table to the ground. The bottle was glazed, and it shattered immediately with a crisp sound when it landed. There was a timid girl who started to tremble.
"Big/Master, who is this angry with!" Liu Da/Grandma put down the teacup heavily, and as soon as she opened her mouth, her eyes turned red first. "Seeing that we are not pleasing to the eye, I simply went to tell the old lady and sent us away, and there was that good one to serve the eldest / master. There is no more unpleasantness for the eldest / master. ”
"What nonsense!" Liu Yujiang raised his eyes to look at Liu Da/Grandma. At this moment, his face was not so pale, and his eyes were much clearer. It turned out that I vomited once in Mrs. Liu's yard and came back to drink sobering soup. I took a bath again, right now. Liu Yujiang's wine has been sobered up for the most part.
"You drink tea by yourself, I want a sip of tea. You don't let the girls move. What do you want to do, are you serious trying to pinch me? That's it, there is no master here, there is a place to keep the master. As Liu Yujiang spoke, he broke his sleeves and stood up, and was about to walk out.
Liu Da/Grandma sat still at first, but when she saw that Liu Yujiang was not just talking, she had already walked to the door, Liu Da/Grandma couldn't sit still, and she cried out.
“…… You go, you go, don't go back to this yard. I got married at the age of fourteen, and I have suffered a lot with you over the years. Single-minded, scheming, helping you calculate, young and gentle, with gray hair. You don't have a conscience......" Grandma Liu cried.
The girls who are waiting in the house all hang their heads low, wishing that there is a crack in the ground under their feet to get into.
Liu Yujiang walked to the door, and when he heard Liu Da/Grandma say this, he stopped, turned his head suddenly, and stared at Liu Da/Grandma.
"You can be regarded as telling the truth, and you hate to suffer with me. If you don't like me, what did you do earlier? Liu Yujiang sneered and said, "It was our Liu family who robbed you?" ”
Grandma Liu Da/Grandma choked in her throat and hiccuped. Liu Yujiang looked at Liu Da/Grandma, his eyes were full of disgust. However, he did not continue to speak, nor did he go outside, but waved at the girls who were waiting in the room.
"All down!"
The girls were so pardoned that they almost wished to grow two more legs, and in the blink of an eye, they were clean from the house. The one who walked at the end cleverly closed the door. After going out, the girls didn't dare to stop, and they all walked away.
Grandma Yoo was sitting on the couch, still hiccupping.
Liu Yujiang walked over, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Da/Grandma.
Liu Da/Grandma took the veil and raised her eyes to look at Liu Yujiang. Liu Yujiang inherited the good looks of the descendants of the Liu family, and when Liu Da/grandma took a look, her heart was sour and soft, and she wanted to endure not crying, but she cried more and more.
Liu Yujiang became more and more impatient, but he still sat on the couch.
"Don't say anything like this in the future, don't let me say anything unpleasant." Liu Yujiang said coldly, "What kind of background are you?" Your good aunt is her hands and eyes, and no one knows about the tricks she plays! Annoyed me, and it was revealed. ”
Liu Da/Grandma's crying stopped abruptly, and she didn't burp anymore, she only looked at Liu Yujiang in shock, with fear in her eyes.
Liu Yujiang smiled.
"You and I have had children all these years. You keep your duty, you know what to do and what not to do, and I don't hate you when you think about the children. Liu Yujiang stared at Liu Da/Grandma's eyes and said.
Liu Da/Grandma was looked down upon by Liu Yujiang, and looked away a little timidly.
"Great/Lord...... Don't listen to any gossip. What does the eldest / master not know, that starter, there is no good heart. Liu Da/Grandma said, the momentum just now has disappeared without a trace.
"In that case, I don't need to say it." Liu Yujiang said, "Where are the girls, Cha Na?" ”
Liu Da/Grandma stood up, poured tea and handed it to Liu Yujiang.
"Today I feel bored, I drink more, and I am very drunk. At that time, I didn't see who was in front of me, you went to inquire, if it was a girl next to the old lady, don't slack off. Liu Yujiang slowly took a sip of tea and said.
Grandma lowered her eyes and reluctantly responded.
"Don't forget, it's not a small thing. She said to the old lady, ten words to you. Liu Yujiang said again.
"Got it." Liu Da/Grandma said, muttering something again, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Liu Yujiang's words.
"The eldest / master said that he was bored, so he drank like that. But what's boring, although it's not satisfactory at the moment, but the third lady has offended the old lady very much, and she is still the eldest / master after all. Seeing that Liu Yujiang was no longer talking, Grandma Liu/Grandma softened her tone and said. She wanted to remind Liu Yujiang that she was very capable and effective. Liu Yujiang doesn't need to take Mrs. Liu's girl so seriously.
It's okay if Liu Da/Grandma doesn't say it, Liu Yujiang sneered again.
"You're fooling me. It's just that the eldest lady fools me, what kind of heart are you! ”
"Where am I fooling the big / master!" Liu Da/Grandma was busy distinguishing.
"When I'm blind, I'm stupid. He Feng Jianzhang came and lived in the mansion, what did he do? Liu Yujiang couldn't help but raise his voice.
Liu Da/Grandma's eyes widened, and at this moment, she finally understood the reason for Liu Yujiang's abnormal attack today.
“…… Always have to get married, what's wrong with my brother. Either way, it doesn't get in our way. Moreover, if it is done, it will be of great benefit to us to say a word or two for us. "Liu Da/Grandma is busy.
"That's what my wife told you? And you believed? Liu Yujiang squinted at Liu Da/Grandma and asked.
Grandma Liu pursed her lips and nodded after a while.
"Think about it, it makes sense."
"Madame is a good plan. Seeing that my side was not successful, he brought his nephew to my mother's family for the sake of my second uncle and aunt's share of the family wealth. Returned to her Feng family, wouldn't that be better! Liu Yujiang didn't think so at all, and sneered again.
"No, it won't." Grandma Liu immediately said, "Grandma, Mrs. ...... It's still for us. Even if it's ...... There's always our share. Let's help each other, even if we want to give Brother Zhang'er some, we still take the lion's share, it's better than letting others go. ”
"Do you really believe that, or do you follow your wife to fool me! Your aunts and nephews are on a vine, playing with me! ”
"Great/Master, the conscience of heaven and earth." Seeing that Liu Yujiang still had doubts about her, Liu Da/Grandma hurriedly swore with a curse, "Great/Grandma, I can be good." Except for the big/master, who can I look towards. And our children. ”
"If only you thought so." Liu Yujiang looked at Liu Da/Grandma for a while, and seemed to believe her words, "Mrs. may not think so." Think about it yourself, whether Mrs. is close to you and me, or to Brother Zhang. ”
Grandma Liuda/Grandma stopped talking.
"Don't be stupid and be deceived. In the future, be careful in everything. Mrs. may not be reliable! ”
At this point, the husband and wife came closer, lowered their voices, and discussed.
Outside, no one saw it, and a petite figure slowly left. She hung her head, pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and her steps were a little stiff, it turned out to be the eldest sister. The eldest sister took the second sister to the back room, but found that the purse she was carrying was missing, she did not alarm the girl, and came back to look for it herself.
Because there was no one waiting outside Liuda/Grandma's door, the eldest sister walked straight to the door and stopped when she heard the voice talking inside. Hearing Liu Da/Grandma and Liu Yujiang talking, the eldest sister wanted to leave, but somehow, in the end, she didn't move.
No one saw the eldest sister, no one knew how long she had been standing at the door, and no one knew what she had heard. (To be continued......)
