Chapter 31: Trade-offs

"Then according to you, send it to the Taoist temple?" Master Cheng asked.

The girl held the tea, and Master Cheng took a sip of satisfaction.

"A new big monk from Wanning Temple fried good tea, and it took a lot of favors to get a pot." He said.

"Isn't it just spending more silver?" Mrs. Cheng said.

Master Cheng smiled.

He has nothing to do in his life, but loves tea.

"It's not what I meant to send to the Taoist temple." Mrs. Cheng said, "It's what my mother meant." ”

A servant woman came in from outside the hall, whispered a few words beside her, and withdrew.

"What's the shame?" Master Cheng asked.

"The second child sold a maid over there." Mrs. Cheng said, sighing a little helplessly, "As I get older, Qingniang's temper also grows." ”

"Nonsense." Master Cheng put down the teacup unhappily, "You don't care?" ”

"I don't dare to care." Mrs. Cheng said, pausing for a moment, "Since this child entered the door, the house has really been chaotic." ”

"Then send it away." Master Cheng said.

"Do the people of the Zhou family still need to go out of their way to say hello?" Mrs. Cheng asked.

Before the words were finished, a servant woman hurried in outside the door.

"Master, madam, the Zhou family has sent someone." She said.

It's really not about people in front of people, why are you here again?

Mr. and Mrs. Cheng glanced at each other, a little surprised.

The Zhou family came this time not as good as last time, it was four men and four women, but the situation was also like the master that the Zhou family had contacted before.

"The old lady asked us to come to take over our eldest lady's dowry shop, Zhuangzi." One of the men in charge said.

The people of the Cheng family were stunned.

"Ridiculous!" Second Master Cheng sat up straight and shouted.

"Uncle is angry." The steward leaned over and said, "In the past, the lady didn't come back, and I thought she wouldn't live long, so the old lady didn't make any plans, but now that the lady is back, she is not young, and the dowry will definitely be taken away when she goes out in the future." ”

The old ladies of the Cheng family showed strange expressions.

Fool, still planning to go out?

This week, the people of the family are really blushing at all when they lie.

"So, the old lady asked us to take care of the dowry of the eldest lady in person, so that the lady can go out in the future." The steward continued.

"Do you think our Cheng family will be greedy for Jiao Niang's dowry?" Mrs. Cheng asked with a sneer.

"The old lady doesn't think like this, she just wants to be a good lady for herself." The steward said expressionlessly, "If you can't say it clearly, you might as well invite the government and take the dowry list in person, it's not good to let the old lady of the in-laws bear the stigma in vain." ”

"There are lists, how can you not tell?" Second Mrs. Cheng spoke, "What do you do to that." ”

Anyway, I can't get any benefits for myself, and I can't get it for others.

Mrs. Cheng sighed in her heart.

"You're here just in time." She said, "Go and meet the lady, she will go to the Taoist temple to recuperate in a few days." ”

The men and women of the Zhou family were stunned, but they were instructed before they came, and everything was decided by the steward, so they lowered their heads and said nothing.

"What are you going to do with the Taoist Temple?" The steward asked, "What do others say?" ”

"How so? At the beginning, the Taoist priest calculated that this child's three souls and six spirits were incomplete, and he was sent to the Taoist temple to be blessed. Second Master Cheng said coldly, "It's not that you don't know the way, if you don't believe us, there are many good doctors in the capital, send them over to you to take a good look." ”

The steward smiled and leaned over to salute.

"Don't dare, the second master's blood relatives are naturally good, but the old slave doesn't know how to talk nonsense." He apologized.

Master Cheng and Second Master Cheng glanced at each other and shook their heads.

All the Zhou family wants is interests, and as for that lady, they really ignore it.

"Since Zhilu Dao is the flesh and blood of our family, then we don't worry about handing over this dowry to you." Master Cheng said lightly, "My brother and sister are gone, but Jiao Niang is still there, his father is still there, and my uncle is still there, where is your turn to point fingers?" ”

Second Lady Cheng immediately sat up straight.

That's right, my father is still here, and it's not your turn to be an uncle.

It's time to talk about the dowry.

These two boxes and three parties began to fight for me, you enter and I retreat, not a day or two can be said to be good, people don't care much about the management of the dowry, in contrast, the news that Cheng Jianniang is going to be sent to the Taoist temple is more important.

"What? Want to send the lady to the Taoist temple? ”

The maid and servant woman in Cheng Jianniang's yard suddenly became chaotic.

If you go to a place like a Taoist temple, especially if you follow this fool, you will probably not be able to get out for the rest of your life!

There was really no good thing in front of this fool, first caused the two families to be expelled, and now they are going to be tired for life, and it is not much better than the expulsion of the sale!

This fool is really a broom star, whoever touches it is unlucky!

Suddenly, the maid in the courtyard ran in panic, asking for favors, just to get out.

The girl sat under the porch sewing a pair of socks, looking quiet.

There was a slight sound in the room, and she hurriedly put down her needle and thread and hurried in.

Cheng Jianniang was slowly getting up from the bed.

"The lady is awake." She said, reaching out to help.

Changing clothes, cleaning faces, sitting down in front of the window, handing a glass of warm white water, this set of girls is very smooth.

"Lady, according to what you said, I asked for a white lotus pod, boiled it with rice flour and honey, pounded and steamed it, it has been cooled, cut it for you to taste?" The girl asked, "I ate the sweetness just right, I don't know if the lady can close it." ”

Cheng Jianniang nodded.

The yellow and green rice cakes placed on a small white porcelain plate were very pleasant, and Cheng Jianniang ate one or two slices.

"It's fine." Cheng Jianniang said.

The girl smiled happily.

"Are you packing up?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

"Yes, that's all the book that the lady wants to read." The girl said, "On the day I leave, the slave will take it herself." ”

Cheng Jianniang raised her eyes to look at her.

"You're going with me?" She asked.

"Yes, the slave maid is here to serve the lady, and the slave and maid will naturally go there wherever the lady goes." The girl said.

"What's the good of coming with me?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

"If the slave can come to the lady, she is already not welcomed in the house." The girl said with a smile, putting her hand on her lap, "Stay, maybe it sounds better, but the days are bound to be uncomfortable, the slave and maid are also old, and they will be matched with someone in a year or two, according to the identity of the slave and maid, what kind of person can be imagined, these days with the lady, but I feel that this day is comfortable, the slave and the maid think, the reputation of eating and drinking is irrelevant, people can't be everything in this life, and the slave and maid don't ask for anything else, just be comfortable." ”

Cheng Jianniang looked at her and pursed her lips.

"You say so much, can I understand it as a fool?" She asked.

The girl covered her mouth and smiled.

"Lady, don't laugh, if you are a fool, then the slave is a fool." She laughed.

Cheng Jianniang stopped talking, lowered her head and read.

The girl stopped talking, took a few steps back, sat down and picked up the needle and thread.

"In this life, everything is agreeable, and it is not impossible." Cheng Jianniang said suddenly.

The lady spoke a beat slower than ordinary people, and the girl already knew the way, and she smiled when she heard the words, but she didn't go to her heart.

Someone called the door outside the door.

The two of them looked out of the window and saw a strange servant woman, dressed differently from their home.

Like all people who saw Cheng Jianniang for the first time, the servant woman was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses under Cheng Jianniang's blank gaze.

"This is what the family brought to the lady." She leaned over and pushed over a boxy box.

"Half celery." Cheng Jiaoniang said suddenly.

The servant woman was startled and looked up in surprise.

Doesn't it mean that you don't remember people and things? How...

"Yes, lady." The girl replied and reached for the box.

The servant woman was a little confused, feeling that she had thought of something and felt that she had not thought of it.

"Lady, it's food." The girl opened the box and said, her eyes were pleasantly surprised.

When the package opens, there is a double-layered food box, and the boxy lattice inside is filled with all kinds of candied pastries, which are brilliantly colored.

"This is a famous snack in the capital, half ...... The family said that the lady loves snacks, so she specially selected it. The servant said, but she said this to the girl, "but don't eat too much, be careful to spoil your stomach." ”

The girl smiled and didn't speak.

"The old slave has retired." The servant woman said that although the fool was good-looking, it was always unpleasant to be in the company of a fool.

"This." Cheng Jianniang spoke again, picking up a notebook from the side, "You take it away and give it to her." ”

The servant woman was stunned and looked at Cheng Jianniang.

Who is she? Who is she? Does this fool know who is who? Impossible, right?

The girl had already reached out and took it and handed it to the servant.

The servant woman looked at it, and saw that it was a book made of hand-cut paper and simply sewn, thin, she could not read, and she did not know what was written, so she had to pick it up and give a salute again.

The girl was personally sent to the porch.

"This sister, dare to ask what to call it?" After the servant woman walked down the steps, she thought of something and asked again.

The girl looked at her and smiled.

"Slave, Banqin." She said.
