Chapter 23: Mid-Autumn Festival
Seeing that Zhang's family opened the door, Cheng Er was overjoyed and also pulled Liu Pu over.
"My grandfather is not at home." When the porter saw it, he immediately squinted and said.
Deceitful!
Outside the door, all three shouted in their hearts.
But he didn't dare to shout.
"Uncle, you see we've come several times..."Second Master Cheng said with a little smile and respectfully flattering.
Before he finished speaking, the little maid sighed and hurried over to salute him.
"Master, are you here too?" She called.
Master?
Second Master Cheng was stunned and looked at the maidservant in front of him.
Call me?
Before he could speak, Liu Pu was stunned and immediately overjoyed, looking at him with a little surprise.
"My lord, it turns out that a little maid in your family can enter and exit the old lady's house, it's weird." He said loudly, and the Shaanxi-Gansu accent became thicker, and he could hear the buzzing in the ears of the second master Cheng.
A little maid in my family can go in and out of the teacher's house like this!
My family, little girl!
Mrs. Zhang picked up the teacup.
Liu Pu and Second Master Cheng got up very interestingly.
"The students quit." They said respectfully.
Old lady Zhang snorted.
Cheng Er and Liu Pu withdrew from the Zhang family's old house.
"Brother Zigu, thank you so much this time." Liu Pu said with an excited expression.
"Brother Yukun, I don't dare to say this." Second Master Cheng's face was a little stiff, but he still squeezed out a smile and said.
"In this way, I'm going to hurry, I can't drink with my brother, and I won't get drunk and return if I have the opportunity in the future." Liu Pu said, reaching out and patting Cheng Er's arm.
Liu Pu practiced martial arts when he was a child, and joined Zhang Chun's disciples halfway. Although he was studying, he didn't let go of his kung fu, and this slap slapped on Cheng Er's arm. The painful Cheng Er old man bared his teeth, but his heart blossomed.
With this one. He is related to the Liu family in the same state.
Especially when he was leaving, Liu Pu carefully asked him about his future position, and he was thoughtful when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything, and left with a smile.
"It's finished?"
Second Mrs. Cheng asked puzzled, while taking the cloak that her husband had untied.
"Liu Yukun is a coarse and delicate person, and he must write a letter to his uncle, with the recommendation of the teacher, plus the help of Bachelor Liu. If this matter doesn't work out again, then I'll just resign and return to the field. Second Master Cheng said with a smile.
Mrs. Cheng is very happy to be able to achieve a good job, and she also expects her husband to earn a life for Mrs. Cheng in the future.
"Then this time is really good, thank you to Mrs. Zhang." She asked with a smile.
Speaking of this, Cheng Er's expression froze.
Xie Zhang old lady admired her face and let her enter the door?
but
"The old lady appreciates his face, not my face." He sat down, with a bit of inexplicability, "It's a little maid in our family." ”
At that time, the porter heard the little maid shouting to the master, and the expression on his face immediately changed. Listening to him again, he didn't say a word about not closing the door as before, but said to go in and ask, and he didn't go in for a long time. So he invited them in.
Master Cheng Er knew that this was the love of the little maid.
"Little maid?" Mrs. Cheng was puzzled.
Second Master Cheng told the matter, and the look on Second Mrs. Cheng's face was no better than his.
"At the time. I can't ask who she is, and I don't know what her name is. Second Master Cheng said. You call all the girls in the house and I'll see which one it is. ”
"How can our maid walk outside at will. And in and out of that outsider's door? Second Mrs. Cheng said, "Master, didn't you hear it wrong?" ”
That's right.
"Then it's not the maid of the house?" Second Master Cheng said.
Not at home? Where is that?
The husband and wife were confused.
"Lady, you are really right, that old man is really not an ordinary person."
The girl put down the basket and said hurriedly.
"I actually saw the master there today." She said, sensing the cold wind blowing, and hurriedly went back to pull the door shut.
Cheng Jianniang put down the book and looked at her.
"The old man is very respectful in front of the old man's door." The girl said with a smile, and it was hard to hide her excitement between her eyebrows, "If the old man tells the old man to let us go back, the old man will definitely comply." ”
"Go back?" Cheng Jianniang looked at her, "It's so easy for me to come out, and I have to be at ease at this time, what to do when I go back." ”
"Lady." The girl was a little nervous, knelt a few steps forward, and held Cheng Jianniang's knees, "Although we live here, you don't want to have any thoughts of refuge." ”
The corners of Cheng Jianniang's mouth curved.
"Life is full of practice, and I don't stick to any one place." She said, stretched out her hand and patted the girl's hand, "You can rest assured, don't think about those things, get up first, teach the few dried fruits you will have to those fairy girls, and catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, they can use it to worship the moon." ”
The girl replied.
"Lady, what do you want to eat, say do it with me, and we will enjoy the moon while eating." She said happily.
Cheng Jianniang nodded and said hello.
"The mountains here are high and cool, and it is a good place to enjoy the moon, but at home, it is not necessarily so pleasant." She said, looking out the door, the bamboo forest rustled, elegant and complacent.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, like thousands of households, the Cheng family was full of lights, and it was very lively.
The children went to the street to enjoy the lanterns and returned, under the leadership of Mrs. Cheng to worship the moon, after the moon worship, the family gathered to eat and drink and admire the moon, Cheng Liuniang showed the flower arrangement, Cheng Wuniang and Cheng Liuniang presented a pair of embroidered shoes to Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Qiniang sketched a picture of the moon, and the family laughed and laughed happily.
When Mrs. Cheng was talking to a few old servants in a low voice, the brush in front of the table where the daughters were sitting rang, and it turned out to be a servant woman who broke a plate.
This kind of thing does not need to be handled by Mrs. Cheng, who has her own lady in charge, and the lady in charge has to go over and scold people in a low voice, and the servant woman has already knelt down to pick it up, and this kneeling, a few round fruits rolled out of her arms.
"Oh, you damned thing, you stole here." A servant woman standing close shouted sharply.
This voice made everyone look at it, and they didn't figure out what was going on for a while, but everyone heard the stealing word.
Old Madam Cheng's face sank and she glanced at Mrs. Cheng.
"She's not stealing." Cheng Qiniang on the other side shouted at this time, "This is my mother in front of me." ”
Everyone was stunned, and Mrs. Cheng had a bad face, looking at Mrs. Cheng.
"Now, such a person can come and serve in the near future?" She asked.
The people who can serve in front of him are naturally well-known, and to do such a thing is naturally to be unclear and not strict in governing the family.
"The daughter-in-law is at fault." Mrs. Cheng bowed her head and said.
"No, grandmother." Cheng Qiniang shouted and stood up, "She didn't steal anything, I asked her to take some and wait for me to go back and eat." ”
"No, no, it's the slave and the maid who owe, it's the slave and the maid who are greedy, and want to steal some fruit, regardless of the affairs of the Seventh Lady." When the servant woman heard this, she panicked and hurriedly kowtowed.
This kind of rush to admit guilt and admit mistakes is very abnormal.
Mrs. Cheng looked at Mrs. Cheng with a gloomy face, and put the tea bowl in her hand on the table, with a click, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the audience. (To be continued......)
