Chapter X
Song Chunniang didn't react, and Aunt Zhang was not annoyed, so she said again: "A few days ago, I helped the second lady pack up her clothes, and I happened to see a few new clothes, which were also made of Yingtian cotton, but they were beautiful, but who knew that the second miss said that those clothes could not be worn, and they had to be taken out and pawned for silver." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I was shocked, how can I pawn clothes? Our Song family is also a big family in Yuncheng, why is there a lack of food and clothing for the second lady? After further inquiry, I found out that it was the eldest lady who gave the order to let the second lady return the silver of the cotton silk back to the cloth village. The second lady only has a few taels of silver a month, when will it be repaid? I really didn't have a way to make this decision. I watched the second lady go to pawn pitifully, and I couldn't bear it. It's a pity that I have an aunt, and I don't have much money in total, so I can't help it. Originally, this matter was over, but now when I see the clothes on the eldest lady, I think about it again, and I have nagged so much, master, eldest lady, don't blame me. After speaking, he also took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, like a poor white lotus.
The corners of Song Chunniang's mouth twitched, Jiang was still old and spicy, no matter how capable Xia Xiaoyou was, it was just a mouthful of kung fu, where could she compare to her mother, she changed her face and became a thief quickly, and her tears flowed when she said it, it was a pity that this kung fu was not used as a play.
Song Chunniang is the most annoying woman to cry, especially this kind of unreal tears, she is disgusting when she looks at it, but people's tears are not flowing to her, the main man is a big man, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, seeing the beloved woman crying and complaining that her beloved second daughter is so and so wronged, how can she not feel distressed, frowned and asked: "Xia Niang doesn't have any savings on weekdays?" If you really can't fill it in for her, what kind of pawn clothes are like? ā
Aunt Zhang wanted this sentence, and she was raising a smile to respond, but Song Chunniang took the lead: "Daddy, this matter is meant to teach Xia Niang a lesson, you can easily help her fill it in, isn't it meaningless?" Otherwise, don't we want to cooperate with Helian Chong, those cotton silk clothes will be sold by him after they are ready, they are all new and have not been worn, and no one will know that they are Xia Niang's clothes. What do you think is good? ā
The clothes of the Song family are all made of their own fabrics and their own sewing room, and if they are mixed with Helian Chong's ready-to-wear clothes, they are indeed unaware.
Song Chunniang's proposal is reasonable, Master Song is embarrassed to favor his second daughter again, and he has to say a few more words to show his fairness and justice, and he cleared his throat and said: "It's still Chun'er who has more ideas, so let's do it." He turned his head and reprimanded Aunt Zhang: "On weekdays, you also take care of Xia Niang, the girl's family should be dressed well, but there must be a degree, such extravagance and waste, if it is passed out, who will dare to propose marriage in the future?" ā
Aunt Zhang's bamboo basket was empty, and she was reprimanded, so she had to force a smile, and repeatedly said that she would discipline Song Xianiang well, but she was thinking about waiting for Song Chunniang to leave, and then take advantage of the lunch time to blow the wind, and then redeem Master Song's decision. Who knows, Song Chunniang also has to stay for dinner, saying that there is still a matter of Buzhuang to discuss with Master Song. In this way, where can Aunt Zhang stay? I had to bite the handkerchief and leave in a huff.
Along the way, the more Aunt Zhang thought about it, the more angry she became, thinking that at the beginning, Song Chunniang was still young, and the young master Song had not yet been born, how favored she was in front of Master Song, not to mention a few cotton silk clothes, it was gold and silver jewelry, as long as she and Xia Niang spoke, how could she not get it?
Where is it like now, Mrs. Song, who is afraid of having a son, not to mention, even Song Chunniang, a girl who is going to marry, can give herself a child. It's just too embarrassing!
Aunt Zhang was angry, turned a corner at the intersection, and went straight to Xia Yuan to ask her daughter for advice, but her daughter was not there, and the maid said that she went to Mrs. Song's for lunch.
Aunt Zhang's eyes rolled and she slapped her thighs, how could she forget her ancestors! Master Song is unreliable, isn't there still Mrs. Song. Aunt Zhang hated herself for thinking of the old lady now, so she immediately turned around again and walked quickly towards the simple courtyard.
When I entered the hall of Jian Yuan, not only Song Xianiang was sitting next to Mrs. Song and joking, but also Aunt Ruan and Song Qiuniang were also below.
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but be disappointed, Aunt Ruan, a sycophant, didn't come early or late, but she came here today to be courteous. With outsiders present, it's a bit of a hassle to ask for an explanation.
Aunt Zhang thought about her thoughts, she was stunned, she had always been sharp-toothed, and she sat quietly next to Song Xianiang.
Song Xianiang said pleasing words, which made Mrs. Song laugh, and she was about to need someone to answer the conversation, when she turned her head and saw her aunt sitting aside, stunned, and didn't react, so she kicked her with her foot.
You've come to your senses! Why else are you here! Song Xianiang's eyes glanced at Aunt Zhang, which finally made her react.
"Yo, does Sister Zhang have something on her mind? Why do you look restless? Aunt Ruan, who was sitting opposite, looked at the interaction between Aunt Zhang's mother and daughter, and asked as if she was concerned.
"What the hell is there?" Aunt Zhang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and defended, "My sister thinks too much." "I don't want to say more.
Aunt Ruan didn't give up, pursed her lips and said, "The master has always been used to being taken care of by his sister, why is this not serving in the study?" ā
Which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, Aunt Zhang became angry when she heard it, no matter how exquisite she was, she couldn't suppress the unhappiness in her heart, and replied in a rough voice: "The master and the eldest lady are talking about business, where do I dare to disturb." ā
"It turns out that the old man doesn't need to wait, so he wants to come to the old lady, no wonder he comes so late......" The meaning of the words is not that Aunt Zhang didn't put the old lady at ease, and she didn't need it, so she wanted to come over?
When she said this, Old Madam Song's face sank.
Who in the Song family doesn't know, Mrs. Song doesn't like to be opportunistic, according to Aunt Ruan, Aunt Zhang is not just courteous, left and right. His eyes swept over, and he said coldly: "If you are busy, you don't have to take the time to come." I don't have a shortage of people to serve me. ā
Aunt Zhang's face turned white and blue when she was said, and she secretly regretted that she had hit an evil spirit today, why was she squeezed everywhere? According to this trend, let alone begging for an explanation for a few cotton silk clothes, it is difficult to finish lunch with peace of mind. Mrs. Song was born as a village woman, and she spoke and acted straightforwardly, which made her unhappy, and the reprimand was still light, and she had to be served by family law if she didn't do it well.
Seeing Aunt Zhang deflated, Aunt Ruan's heart was secretly refreshed, and she wanted to say a few more words, but she heard Song Xianiang's delicate and delicate voice and said: "Oh, ancestor, I have said that it is the most taboo to be angry when eating, anger is not good for digestion, and you will be so uncomfortable that you can't sleep after a while." Aunt Ruan is also really, knowing that our ancestors are not restrained in eating, and it was not easy for me to make the ancestors happy, and you say something unhappy, isn't this kind of thing the same sooner or later? I have to pick a meal and say, it can't be intentional, right? ā
With such a big hat buttoned down, where did Aunt Ruan dare to be, she hurriedly argued: "Second Miss, don't wronged me, I just said a few words truthfully, where is the intention." ā
"Hmph, you are seeking truth from facts, but this is also said on different occasions, no matter how big the truth is, if you say it on an inappropriate occasion, won't it become inappropriate?"
Song Xianiang has sharp teeth, and there are piles of crooked heresies, where can Aunt Ruan say it, her face is white. Song Qiuniang had a soft-faced persimmon, and she didn't dare to stand up for her aunt, and she felt that her aunt had nothing to do and had to do something, so she begged for hardship, lowered her head and counted the rice grains in the bowl, and couldn't wait to finish lunch and leave.
Song Xianiang solved Aunt Ruan, and raised a smile to coax Mrs. Song: "Old ancestor, don't be unhappy, others are not sensible, why do you use your body to be angry with them, you don't have to be angry with yourself, it's not cost-effective." Come, this eggplant stew is rotten, and it tastes good, you can taste it. As he spoke, he took a pair of chopsticks and eggplant and put them into Mrs. Song's plate.
Mrs. Song has always liked her second granddaughter, good words sound comfortable, and good dishes smell good, why are the two aunts who are both ages not as sensible as a little girl?
What a fight at mealtime! It's a good dish for nothing.
Mrs. Song was too lazy to take care of the two aunts, so she walked down the steps set up by Song Xianiang, continued to talk and laugh with Song Xianiang and eat, and left the others aside.
Aunt Zhang, Aunt Ruan was snubbed, and she didn't dare to be angry, if she provoked the old lady again, she would have to eat the first ribs. As for Song Qiuniang, she ate with her head bored from beginning to end, trying to treat herself as an invisible person.
In one meal, five people eat their own tastes.
After the meal, Mrs. Song had to take a lunch break, and the two mothers and daughters went back to their respective homes.
