Chapter 14: Questioning
Baozhu has heard a little about the milk brother in Mama Lin's mouth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info I heard that this milk brother is very knowledgeable, he is seventeen years old this year, and at the age of fifteen, he was admitted to Xiucai and became a student of Guozijian. This milk brother has always been the pride of Mama Lin, counting on him to shine on the lintel. Something happened to him, and Mama Lin naturally had no master, turned into a headless fly, and her speech was upside down.
I listened to her: "I was studying in Guozijian in a good manner, but I don't know why I had a quarrel with a classmate named Chen Youju. The classmate's father is Shaoqing of Dali Temple. I don't know what method I thought of to get the Guozijian to remove Zigong's clothes, and accused him of stealing and sent him to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion. The future of his life was ruined, and now he is locked in prison and does not know whether he is alive or dead. He began to cry again as he spoke.
After all, Mama Lin is an elderly person, and this sadness makes her feel low in energy and her body is shaky.
Baozhu helped her a little before she sat down. After thinking about it, Baozhu lowered her eyes and asked slowly, "What does Mama want me to do?" β
Mama Lin shook her head and said, "I don't have an idea for a while. I know that the girl herself is also a young lady in the house, and you can't interfere in the outside affairs, so I just ask the girl to have mercy on me, ask the old lady for me, and let the second master or the eldest young master come forward to inquire about this matter. β
Although the request was presumptuous and reckless, because it was related to her son's safety, Mama Lin didn't care about the rules and respect.
Baozhu is not surprised that Mama Lin has this request. From the very beginning when Mama Lin talked about this matter, Baozhu understood what Mama Lin was asking for. But Mama Lin still didn't understand. She only knew that the old lady doted on herself and did not disobey her requirements, because what she had always asked for was nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun, and the old lady was happy to see those things come true. And now the old lady will not agree, not only will she not agree, but it would be good if she didn't get in the way. Even if you respond verbally, and then find an excuse to send yourself away, you can't say anything. Can you still cry, make trouble, and hang yourself, wouldn't it be more solid for your arrogance? Therefore, it is impossible for her to ask the old lady for this matter.
Mama Lin saw that Baozhu didn't speak for a long time, thinking that she was unwilling, the expression on her face was even more depressed, and she said in a low mood: "It's the old slave who has given the girl a problem, if the girl is unwilling, ......"
"Mama." Baozhu interrupted her, "Do you think the old lady is good to me?" β
Mama Lin heard Baozhu's brainless question, and she didn't know what it meant. But she had always been loyal, so she thought about it for a while. The old lady was naturally too good to say anything to the girl, and she wanted one to ten, and she had nothing to rely on. But it's too good, so it creates the girl's lawless character, but in any case, it's because the girl has no parents when she is young, and she dotes too much because of pity. Therefore, he said: "The old lady is naturally good to the girl. β
As soon as she finished saying this, she heard the girl seem to "hum" from her nose, but because her voice was very soft, Mama Lin thought that she might have heard it wrong. You must know that the girl Suri always talks about the old lady with a look of admiration and joy.
Baozhu looked at Mama Lin carefully, this old mama was a person left by the Fu family, and she was naturally loyal to her, but obviously her brain was not flexible enough, and her thoughts were superficial, and her knowledge was shallow. Or I should sigh that the surface work of Mrs. Feng and the second wife's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is too good. With such a delicate mind and the kung fu of the water mill, even if the old lady who has been following the original owner and thinking about it wholeheartedly, she can't notice the strangeness and weirdness in it.
Since she was confused, Baozhu didn't plan to discuss this issue with her, hoping that she would understand.
It's not that she can't manage this matter, but after taking care of it, there are some inconveniences. But although Mama Lin is confused, she is the only loyal and trustworthy person around her, and if she doesn't do something for her, she will inevitably hurt the loyalty of this old servant. Since she wants to help her, she naturally can't just perfunctory her on the surface, do what Mama Lin said, just ask Mrs. Feng for a begging, knowing that it is a fruitless thing, but she still has to pretend, she is not interested in such a thing. In a way, she has pride.
Baozhu pondered for a moment and said, "Even if you ask the old lady for this matter, it may not be useful. I have a way here, Mama will do as I say, and within three days, my brother will be acquitted. β
Mama Lin didn't believe it in her heart, the girl's problem has always been that she likes to talk big, and she knows this very well. If you don't ask the old lady and let the gentlemen in the house come forward, what can the girl think of if the young lady who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't step out of the door?
"Girl, the old slave knows that you have always been very intelligent, but after all, this matter involves officialdom, and a woman's family can't control these things. Not only you, but even the old lady and the second wife are not easy to come forward. β
Baozhu knew that Mama Lin questioned her ability to do things, but she was not annoyed, and smiled lightly: "This matter is naturally difficult for ordinary women's families, but we are women's families who live in the Hou Mansion. Don't you know that there is a word called bullying? β
β¦β¦
Mama Lin was stunned, and after reacting, her face was full of wry smiles. Throw oneβs weight around? Is this really a girl's style of doing things? The girl Su Ri really bullied people! Isn't the girl going to hit the door with open fire?
If that's the case, not only the girl's face, but also the face of the Hou Mansion will be lost.
Mama Lin couldn't help but tremble when she thought of this situation, and quickly got up and knelt down and said, "The old slave knows that the girl has good intentions, but if she goes directly to the door, the consequences will be unimaginable." Please dispel this idea. The girl didn't have to ask the old lady either. The old slave went to ask the old lady, if he gave grace, it would be good, if he didn't give it, the old slave would accept his fate. The girl must not pay herself for the sake of the old slave. β
Baozhu couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This old lady is really a tendon, can she only think of such a simple and crude method? Or is it that in her mind, her abilities have no credibility?
"Mama, listen to me first, this matter ......"
As soon as Baozhu's words began, Mama Lin cried and said, "Girl, this matter, the old slave will find a way by himself, so don't ask." β
β¦β¦
I'm afraid of being like this! Baozhu was a little depressed in her heart.
In fact, she didn't know that Mama Lin was a hundred times more depressed than her now, why did she think of finding a girl to find a way? Knowing that the girl has always been an unreliable person, who does good things badly, and does bad things worse, she is really anxious!
"That ......," Baozhu coughed, "I think it's better for Mama to listen to me." β
Mama Lin's intestines were repentant at this time, and she said categorically: "The girl doesn't need to say it anymore, the old slave will try to do it, but the girl must not come forward!" β
"Mama Lin!" Baozhu finally couldn't help but accentuate his tone! To say that her lifelong cultivation has also been honed, she has never been angry, but she doesn't want to be forced by a confused old woman today, so she interrupted her words three times and twice.
Mama Lin was drunk by the jewel, and finally quieted down, looking at her girl with only a pair of old eyes.
Speaking of which, Mama Lin is only a forty-year-old woman, but she is already old, which shows that she has worked hard every day. Baozhu knew that this Mama Lin married late in her early years, and later became widowed, and when she gave birth to her second son, she was weak, but her younger son died early, and she was too sad, and her health became worse and worse. Fortunately, she has a strong temperament and struggles to come over, but she regards her only eldest son as the root of her life, but now that the eldest son has such a disaster, it is inevitable that she will be flustered.
Thinking of this, Baozhu did sympathize with him a little, and his voice couldn't help but soften: "Mama listen to my idea first, if it doesn't work, then I will plead with the old lady for Mama?" And I'm not trying to hit someone's doorstep. I used a knife to kill chickens, and my grandmother looked down on me too much. Such a trivial matter is not worth showing my face. β
Mama Lin still didn't believe Baozhu's words, and the girl's cowhide was too big, but when she heard that she didn't show her face, she put her heart down. The girl's reputation is bad enough now, if she goes outside again, it will be difficult to find her in-laws in the future......
To say that Mama Lin is indeed a loyal servant, even if her son has an accident and becomes like this, she is still worried about her girl's life.
Baozhu saw that she finally stopped contradicting herself, so Fang slowly explained her method to Mama Lin.
Mama Lin frowned and said, "Does this really work?" β
Mama Lin originally thought that Baozhu was not reliable, but Baozhu said so sincerely and firmly, and her words were quite reasonable, she couldn't help but be suspicious. I thought to myself, although this matter is urgent now, it is not bad for three days. If you are single and go to the old lady to beg the old lady, if you are rejected, you will not even have room to turn around. Now let's do what the girl says, if it doesn't work out, then the girl will have nothing to do.
