Chapter 399: Nature
The latest chapter of "The Peasant Landlord's Wife"...
Leng heard that Hui Niang promised to see her niece, and her heart was overjoyed, "Nacheng, Wanru and her third sister-in-law, I will bring my maiden niece over to you in a few days to take a look at it first." ”
Hui Niang nodded, and then said: "Mother-in-law, I am not a matchmaker, and it is impossible to see your niece at once, I hope you don't talk about this to your niece first, so as not to be a little embarrassed to see it at the time." ”
Hui Niang felt that it was better not to talk about this matter first, lest she not fall in love, and this would also lose the face of the Leng family in her mother's house, so she couldn't say it, and it would be very embarrassing for everyone to meet in the future.
Leng was shocked, afraid that his little caution would be seen through by Hui Niang, and said: "I naturally know this, Wanru and her third sister-in-law, you can rest assured." ”
Hui Niang said this, it is not good for the Leng family to directly mention her niece, and Hui Niang is also right, if she really happily ran to her mother's house and said that she had fallen in love with her sister-in-law's daughter, and in the end it didn't work out, wouldn't it be shameful to die?
I'm afraid it's hard for my daughter to do it in the middle.
After Leng left, Ma and Aunt Qi also asked Hui Niang, what did Leng just say to her, Ma and Aunt Qi also knew what Pi came last time, and did not hide it from the two of them, and said: "It's not for my mother's brother's business, no, the fourth brother and sister have a niece in her mother's family who is about the same age as my mother's brother, so I want to make a match." ”
After listening to this, Ma thought about it, and said honestly: "Third brother and sister, I don't think the mother of the fourth brother and sister is not a good person, her temperament is a little similar to her mother, I estimate that what she said may not be successful." ”
What kind of person is Leng's, they have also seen a few of them in the first month, and it is really strange that Leng's is so active in trying to match her niece and Liu Ping'an.
Ma finished. Seeing that Hui Niang's face was wrinkled and her brows were wrinkled, her face was not good-looking, she opened her mouth, stopped talking, turned around and went to get busy, Aunt Qi counted a few words from Ma Shi beside Hui Niang, "This Ma Shi, don't say good things, just say these ugly words, I think her temperament is really the same as before." Didn't change. ”
Hui Niang glanced at Aunt Qi helplessly, "Okay, Aunt Qi." You are a knife mouth tofu heart, I can't see your thoughts, I'm fine, what my sister-in-law said is not bad, let's see it then. I won't tell my mother yet. ”
If she had told Pi, Pi would have forgotten everything with joy, and as soon as she saw the beauty of her parents, she would marry her home directly, and ask what else she would say? Pi's temperament, Hui Niang knows best, and made up her mind. Let's get past her first, and then talk about it.
Soon, Hui Niang was busy. put this matter behind her, and when the Leng family brought her niece over a few days later, Hui Niang remembered the good thing she had told the Leng family last time.
Leng's niece is really as Leng said. He is very beautiful and tall. Before Hui Niang finished looking, Leng had already taken her niece into the shop, Luo Jiu saw that a guest came in, stepped forward to beckon Leng and her niece to sit, turned around and went to pour tea.
Leng's niece didn't understand why Leng's wanted to bring her here, so she pulled her sleeve and asked, "Auntie, why are we here if we have nothing to do, didn't we all have breakfast in the morning?" ”
Leng said: "Ping'er, don't worry, your cousin's third sister-in-law and I still have something to say, let's sit down first, take a sip of tea and rest, didn't you just say that you were tired?"
Leng Ping'er put away the impatience between her eyebrows, nodded, and sat quietly beside Leng's side, Luo Jiu quickly brought tea, there was a guest at the other table called Luo Jiu, Luo Jiu poured tea, and passed, Hui Niang looked at Leng Ping'er a few times, at this time she was also busy with the things in hand, and when Leng didn't look at it, she whispered a few words to Aunt Qi, and then went out to talk to Leng.
"My mother-in-law is here, it's really early today, Aunt Qi, bring two bowls of dumplings over and give my mother-in-law and her niece a taste."
Leng Ping'er was happy in her heart, she liked it the most, Leng had never eaten dumplings, and felt that this dumpling must be something new, but she refused: "Wanru and her third sister-in-law, you are welcome, we are not hungry, don't let people be busy." ”
As soon as Leng's voice fell, Leng Ping'er answered: "Auntie, this cousin's third sister-in-law has a lot of kindness, let's not refuse." ”
She wanted to taste what this dumpling tasted like.
Aunt Qi just got Hui Niang's instructions, and quickly got two bowls of dumplings and served them over, first served Leng's, and when it was Leng Ping'er's turn, Aunt Qi's hand deliberately slipped a little, and the soup in the bowl immediately poured towards Leng Ping'er's body.
Leng Ping'er didn't pay attention for a while, her clothes were wet with the soup in the bowl, Leng Ping'er screamed in fright, and quickly stood up and pushed Aunt Qi, Aunt Qi was pushed back a few steps by Leng Ping'er, and the bowl in her hand also slipped out, accidentally breaking at Leng Ping'er's feet.
Leng Ping'er was taken aback, she screamed, and pointed at Aunt Qi and scolded with her head and face: "I said what's the matter with you woman, you can't serve anything well, pour all the soup on me, do you want to burn me?" ”
Aunt Qi hurriedly stepped back and said no, but Leng Ping'er said: "No, you still dare to say no, you are such a big person who can't even serve a thing, and you want to pour it on me, tell me what you mean." ”
Aunt Qi opened her mouth and didn't argue, and the Leng family didn't expect this to happen, so she stood up, pulled her to her side, looked Leng Ping'er up and down, and said, "Ping'er, are you okay?" Are there any burns? ”
Leng Ping'er was asked by Leng's question, and tears immediately flowed out, and she shouted pitifully at Leng's: "Auntie, my body hurts, and the soup is so hot, it almost burns my skin." ”
"Where, where, show my aunt, it's not good for this girl to be burned, and it's not good to talk about her in-laws in the future." Leng said nervously.
Hui Niang snorted coldly, didn't speak, Aunt Qi, who was buried in her head, glanced at Leng Ping'er with disdain, and scolded in her heart, the soup was not hot at all, it was all at the usual temperature, this Leng family's maiden niece was just talking nonsense with her eyes open, and wanted to touch porcelain and ask for money.
Of course, Hui Niang understood the meaning of Leng's words, pretended to lecture Aunt Qi a few words, and asked with concern: "Mother-in-law, this... Miss Leng is alright, right? This Aunt Qi, you really deserve to fight, you actually did this kind of thing, that... Miss Leng, you have a lot of adults, don't be like her mother-in-law, ah. ”
Hui Niang said, so she gave Aunt Qi a look, Aunt Qi understood what Hui Niang meant, and immediately apologized, "It's me who is not good, Miss Leng has a lot, let me go this time, I really didn't mean to, I'll apologize to you." ”
Aunt Qi was anxious to cry, looking at Leng Ping'er with red eyes, Leng Ping'er was angry in her heart, and said unrelentingly: "It's useless for you to beg me, it's you who can't serve things yourself, and you beg my forgiveness, I don't know what to be burned by your bowl of hot soup." ”
Leng Ping'er hissed and gasped, and the words were said to Aunt Qi, but her eyes glanced at Hui Niang intentionally or unintentionally.
Leng was also red-eyed by Leng Ping'er saying that he was burned, and he had long forgotten the original intention of coming today, and echoed and said: "Yes, Ping'er is right, if our Ping'er is scalded and disfigured, we can't find our in-laws in the future, let's do it?" What is your sorry sentence that can be smoothed out? ”
"That's right, you have to pay for my medical expenses, otherwise I'll burn you for nothing?" Leng Ping'er shouted.
But I forgot, if I was really burned, I could say such arrogant words, and I just called it pain.
Aunt Qi looked depressed and said honestly: "Miss Leng, you said that I burned you with that iron, but the heat is not hot at all, you see that there is not even heat on the ground, if you don't believe it, you can touch the bowl I just served to your aunt." ”
The guests in the shop looked over one after another, and Luo Jiu and Ma also hurriedly came over, wanting to understand what was going on.
Leng Ping'er blushed for a while because of what Aunt Qi just said, and said with a flushed face: "Nonsense, who said that it is not hot, didn't you see that I was screaming at the heat?" You just said that you don't want to be hot. ”
"Yes, yes, it's your fault to lose money, you have to admit it to me." Leng and Leng Ping'er were unrelenting, Hui Niang sneered in her heart, whether this Leng was really confused or fake, stared at Leng Ping'er, and said: "That's not as good as this, if Miss Leng is really burned, I will immediately ask a doctor to take a look, this night is cured, but there will be a scar, and there will be no delay." ”
"Ah Jiu, you will be busy with the things in the shop first, go and ask a doctor to treat Miss Leng's scalds." Hui Niang instructed, just now she wanted to try this Leng family's maiden niece, but she didn't expect that this person had not yet tried it, and this person himself had exposed his true nature.
Fortunately, she didn't tell the Pi family, otherwise this Leng Ping'er really married into the Liu family, maybe something would happen, with her temperament, don't say peace, she will definitely have to quarrel with the Pi family every day at home, and the Liu family will definitely not be peaceful at that time.
When Leng Ping'er saw that Luo Jiu was going to ask for a doctor, her face immediately changed, and she bit her lip tightly.
Luo Jiu got Hui Niang's order, and soon ran out, Hui Niang asked Ma to appease those guests, and said to Leng Ping'er: "Since Miss Leng's hand is burned, mother-in-law, let's not stand here, go to the backyard and wait for the doctor to come and take a look at the injury, by the way, Aunt Qi, you go and get some well water, and use a wet cloth to compress Miss Leng, don't really burn it." ”
After hearing this, Leng immediately took Leng Ping'er to the backyard to apply cold water, but Leng Ping'er didn't want to go, and shook her head again and again: "I won't go, what if I go, what will you do?" ”
Hui Niang thought this Leng Ping'er was funny, she didn't want to poke her, who knew that this Leng Ping'er was not allowed, that was not allowed, she was really good at cheating, right, sneered, and said seriously: "Okay, Miss Leng, don't pretend anymore, say what you are burned, if you are really burned, how can you still have so much strength to argue with us, you have already called it, right?"
Mother-in-law, don't be deceived by Miss Leng, she has nothing to do at all. ”
