Chapter 37 Preparations

Cheng Jianniang did not sit until she was old as Steward Cao expected, in fact, she only sat for a cup of tea and got up.

"It seems that this little lady must have been cheated of a lot of money by Cheng Ping..."

"To be deceived by Cheng Ping for money, that's really a fool, at least his brain is not bright enough..."

Seeing this little lady being hugged and leaving, everyone here breathed a sigh of relief and sighed.

When they entered the courtyard gate, two or three servant women were running and almost bumped into Cheng Jianniang.

"What's wrong?" Banqin said, looking at the servant woman who hurriedly gave a salute and ran away, raised her eyes to look into the distance, and saw that the servant women and girls were all in a hurry, and the atmosphere at home was obviously tense.

Cheng Jianniang didn't even stop a step, and she didn't seem to see these at all.

Yes, they have nothing to do with the lady, Banqin smiled and raised his heels.

"Lady, what do you want to eat for dinner? I think the fish they sent is still fresh, why don't you boil the fish soup? ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Mrs. Wang, who had barely calmed down a little and was able to sleep for half the night, was frightened by the Cheng family.

"What's wrong with the old lady?" Mrs. Wang shouted in a lost voice, and her face, which had only become better, turned pale again.

"It's okay, it's okay." The servant woman hurriedly said, "Madame is asking me to say, I can't take care of the marriage letter for the time being these days..."

Before the servant woman could speak, Mrs. Wang hurriedly waved her hand and booed her.

The servant woman was so frightened that she was at a loss.

Mrs. Wang looked left and right, and was relieved to know that the people who confirmed what she heard were reliable.

"I see." She sat down and said with a far-fetched smile at the servant, and hesitated slightly. "That. What is your old lady's disease? But does it matter? ”

Listen to her ask about this. The servant woman's face was slightly embarrassed.

"It's nothing, I accidentally choked on jujubes." She said.

Choked?

Although Mrs. Cheng is old, she has always been in good health, how could she choke on eating a date? Could it be that the body is not good?

"How can you choke?" Mrs. Wang asked in surprise.

The servant woman's expression was even more embarrassed, and she didn't even want to lift her head.

"It's just careless." She said.

I can't say that it's because I heard the eldest lady and the second lady fighting....

The two ladies fought in front of the two masters, this kind of shameful thing has never happened to the Cheng family in their lives, and the eldest master has issued several bans yesterday. If the word spreads out about this, all the servants who know about it will be betrayed and beaten out at once.

Mrs. Wang looked at the servant woman's demeanor and frowned, such words squeaked, it can be seen that there is something that cannot be said.

Could it be that this old lady Cheng is very sick? Maybe you won't live long?

If Mrs. Cheng can't do it and do a funeral, the Cheng family won't be able to marry a daughter within a year!

That's great!

Madame Wang's thoughts flashed and she blurted out.

That's great?

The servant woman of the Cheng family raised her head this time and looked at Mrs. Wang with a shocked expression.

"Ah, that was such a surprise, it was fine the other day." Mrs. Wang was busy covering up in embarrassment. "I'm going to pay a visit."

"No, no, no." The servant woman hurriedly said, "Our lady said it. After these two days, it will be fine, and you have to prepare everything you have decided, and then we will have everything done within three or five days. ”

Mrs. Wang was stunned and sat back.

"Your old lady, body, is it really okay? Or, the marriage will be delayed? She said.

"No, you don't." The servant woman shook her head, "My wife specially instructed me when she came, but I was afraid that you would think like this, so let me tell me, my old lady is fine, everything is as usual." ”

Mrs. Wang sighed, her face a little disappointed.

It would be nice if this old lady of the Cheng family really didn't work....

In that way, if you have established a marriage, you don't have to rush to get married, and if you drag it out for a year and a half, Seventeen Lang will forget about this matter and be able to be a groom happily.

"Mother, Mother!"

The young man's shout came from the courtyard.

Mrs. Wang suddenly came back to her senses and saw the Cheng family's servant in front of her thinking of something and waved her hand.

"Quick, quick, you hide." She urged.

The servant woman of the Cheng family was stunned and hidden?

This has never happened before...

Do you want her to quit?

It was too late in a daze, and Wang Qilang, who was wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt, stepped in.

"Don't say a word." Mrs. Wang only had time to warn the servants of the Cheng family, so she raised her smile and looked at Wang Seventeen, "Seventeen, this dress is really beautiful." ”

Wang Qilang raised his head with a smile on his face and waved his hand.

"Wrong mother." He said, "It's your son who looks good." ”

Mrs. Wang laughed, stretched out her hand to beckon him to sit down, and asked if he had eaten much.

Wang Qilang was about to answer, but he saw the Cheng family's servant woman in the hall at a glance.

"You're from your aunt's?" He said, his face turned pale, and he jumped up, "What are you doing here?" Did the woman ask you to come? What does she want to do? ”

The people in the room were startled, and Mrs. Wang hurriedly reached out and grabbed Wang Qilang.

"No, no, she was sent by your aunt to see you." She said again and again, while giving the servant woman a look, "Your aunt heard that you were frightened, and she was worried that it had nothing to do with that woman, and it had nothing to do with that woman. ”

Although the servant woman didn't know what was going on, she was still busy following Madame Wang's instructions, leaning over and saluting repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, Seventeenth Prince, Madame is very worried about you, so let me take a look." She said.

"Alright, alright, you see it, go back and tell your wife." Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said.

The servant did not dare to linger any longer, so she bowed and bowed in response.

“… Don't let the people of the Cheng family come to the door again! No one can come..."

When I walked to the courtyard, I heard Wang Qilang's shout behind me.

What the hell is going on?

The servant woman was confused, and looked back at the chaotic hall of Madame Wang.

The seventeenth lang of the Wang family has always been close to Mrs. Cheng, and Mrs. Cheng is also very close to him, but now he said such a thing, if Mrs. Cheng heard it, it would make her feel cold.

The servant shook her head and sighed, and walked away.

Mrs. Wang couldn't take care of the servants of the Cheng family, and she was secretly sad. It was easy to appease Wang Qilang and sit down. looked at his high-spirited son, and instantly became panicked and uneasy, looking depressed. I was distressed.

"Seventeen, seventeen, why don't you go out and have fun?" She said, "Go out and take a walk." ”

That's a great idea!

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of both mother and son lit up.

That's right, go out for a walk, this month to prepare for family affairs so as not to be discovered by her son, Mrs. Wang thought to herself.

That's right. Going out to relax, the province was pestered by the woman who came to the door, Wang Qilang nodded and thought.

So the mother and son were happy to pack up, and before noon, Wang Qilang took his favorite handmaidens and left happily in the car.

Seeing her son leave, Mrs. Wang, who was relieved, happily urged the servant woman to prepare for the family affairs.

When the servant woman who left the Wang family returned home, it was already afternoon, and the courtyard of the eldest lady was quiet.

"It's all with the old lady." The maid guarding the door pointed in a low voice.

The servant woman couldn't take a break and hurriedly came to Mrs. Cheng, and the courtyard of Mrs. Cheng was also quiet, and the yard was full of servant women.

"All on their knees." The servant woman at the door pulled her and whispered, motioning for her not to go in yet.

The servant nodded. Standing in the courtyard, I could hear a faint sound of conversation coming from the house.

"Fighting? Why don't you take knives and stab each other? ”

On the couch, Mrs. Cheng sat reclining. looked at his son and daughter-in-law kneeling in front of him.

"That's so exciting, what's the point of a few punches with a fist pestle?"

The two couples kneeling on the ground kowtowed, choked and pleaded guilty.

"If you want to die, you can die by yourself, don't come to me, I still want to live a few more days, I don't want to be angry with you." Old Madam Cheng said with a sneer.

Master Cheng knelt a few steps before kneeling and kowtowed.

"Mother, mother, don't be angry, the children are wrong, your body matters." He choked up and said, "Lie down." ”

Second Master Cheng also kowtowed and choked.

"You two brothers, from beginning to end, were played with in the palm of your hand by the Zhou family, and one of them threw it over, you are like a red-eyed hungry dog that has been torn and bitten, and the face of my Cheng family has been lost by you for several lifetimes!" Mrs. Cheng patted and shouted.

was scolded as a dog by her mother, which shows that Mrs. Cheng is really angry.

The two masters of the Cheng family kowtowed, and Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng knelt to hide their faces and sob.

"Say kiss? What does that fool say, dear! Mrs. Cheng shouted, "What's wrong with her mother's dowry being kept in our Cheng family!" I don't think anyone dares to say it's wrong! I see how the Zhou family will rob it! A fool is already benevolent and righteous when we raise her, and if we don't let her get married, who will criticize? Let her get married, only then will people criticize! Are you stupid? I even thought of the bad idea of letting her get married! We can do what we want to do in our family's affairs, and who can take care of it! ”

Master Cheng and Second Master Cheng responded again and again.

"However, mother, Jiao Niang is not stupid..."Second Master Cheng hesitated and raised his head and said.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Master Cheng's fierce glare.

"Mother, mother, you are angry, we know that we are wrong, so we will do as you say, mother." He hurriedly said.

"Get her out now, now, immediately, immediately!" Old Madam Cheng shouted, stretched out her hand and pointed outside, "I said a long time ago, this is a broom star, this is the disaster star of our Cheng family, she killed your father, killed her mother, and now she is going to kill me again, kill me, and you, none of them can escape!" ”

On a cold winter day, the gloomy and thin old lady said this sentence with a hideous expression, which made the people in the room couldn't help but feel a hairbreak on their backs.

"Yes, yes, son, I'll do it." Master Cheng kowtowed and said.

He personally waited for Mrs. Cheng to take the medicine, and watched her lie down, before Mr. Cheng and the others retreated.

Walking out of the courtyard, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng immediately separated, not looking at each other.

"Then do as Mother says." Master Cheng pulled his face and looked at Second Master Cheng and said.

Cheng Er's expression was also heavy.

"Well, I listen to my mother." He said.

Listen to your mother, not your eldest brother, as used to say.

Master Cheng sneered in his heart and looked at Second Master Cheng.

Second Master Cheng avoided his gaze, gave a cursory salute, and left with Second Mrs. Cheng one after the other, walking farther and farther away in Master Cheng's sight, until the turn was gone.

Master Cheng sneered and was a little stunned, he was older than the second master Cheng, only the two of them were the same mother, he was not good at reading since he was a child, so he inherited the family business, and wholeheartedly supported the second master to study, and the second master has always respected and trusted him like a father.

"Big brother, I listen to you."

"Big brother, do what you say."

The respectful and obedient brother who followed behind him had changed by this time.

He straightened up, began to look at himself with suspicion, and began to stop saying that I listen to my eldest brother.

Is this an inevitable change that has grown up?

No, absolutely not, if there were no external causes, the two brothers would never have become what they are now, think about two years ago, they were still peaceful and Anshun brothers and brothers Gong Fei and Concubine, all this came back from that fool!

Master Cheng clenched his hands.

"Come on, send her to the Taoist temple today." He said.

There was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone pushed it open without intervening during the day.

Banqin, who was sitting under the porch ironing his clothes, raised his head and looked at the four or five servant women who walked in.

They looked at each other, and the servants stopped.

"You're just in time." Banqin spoke first, "I'm about to find someone, it's not good to live here, so I will pick a new place to live for my wife." ”

The servant woman at the head laughed.

"Yes, that's really a coincidence, we were ordered by the master to send the lady to a different place to live." She said.

Banqin looked at her yin and yang strange smile, frowned and put down the iron.

"Where?" She asked.

"It's still an old place, Xuanmiaoguan." The servant woman laughed.

Mystery view?

"You're going to drive the lady out?" Banqin asked in surprise.

"What's the call?" The servant woman smiled, "Yes, please." ”

Banqin stood up.

"Okay girl, pack up, let's go." The servant woman laughed, and waved her hand, and the other servants rushed over.

"You," Banqin shouted, standing in the doorway to block it, and someone behind her pushed her away.

"You're going to drive me away?"

Cheng Jianniang's voice sounded in her ears.

Banqin hurriedly got out of the way and watched Cheng Jianniang stand over, holding the arm rope, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, and there were slight beads of sweat on her nose.

Although there is no place for the lady to shoot arrows, Cheng Jianniang's daily habits have not changed, but they have changed to draw an empty bow indoors.

But the bow in her hand was not empty.

The servant woman outside the door stopped, and looked at the strange appearance of this lady with some surprise.

"It's not to rush, it's to ask the lady to go out and avoid it." The servant woman at the head said, "That's also an old place, and the lady has also lived, so it's very familiar. ”

She said with a smile and walked, and as soon as she raised her foot, she saw the woman in front of her raise her hand and spread her bow to aim at herself, buzzing, and the wind hit her face in an instant, and her head seemed to be smashed by a heavy object, and she retreated back with her, and her hair and temples suddenly fell in all directions.

What happened?

The servants were stunned, and then the woman in the lead howled.

"Murder!"

The courtyard was suddenly in chaos, and cries and shouts poured out, because of the crowd and panic, half of the door panels were knocked down, and the remaining half shook in a hurry, and an arrow stuck in it trembled.

"It's not murder." Cheng Jianniang put down the bow in her hand and said lightly, "This is called archery." ”
