Chapter 61: She Doesn't Want to
I didn't intend to meddle in this matter, but Guanniang brought everyone to the door, and it was not okay to ignore it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I turned my head to look at Yueying, who walked out in a conscious way.
After a while, Yue Ying took the eldest lady of the Jiang family into the house.
She bent over and bowed, and said, "I've seen the young lady, and the slave is the maid." ”
Guan Niang has already told me that the eldest lady of the Jiang family has a single name "Ying", and everyone in Zhuangzi calls her "Yingniang".
I raised my hand and said, "Niang, get up." He looked at her as he spoke.
Ying Niang's figure is in the middle, her flesh and bones are well-proportioned, she is stepping on blue embroidered shoes, she is wearing a blue placket on her body, and her thin and narrow sleeves reveal her moist fingertips. The hair was combed to the back of the head and curled into a cloud bun, and a plain silver hairpin was inserted into the cloud bun. The face is smooth, the eyebrows are thin and curved, the eyes are not big, but they are very charming, and the straight nose makes the whole person look a little more heroic than the woman next to him.
She stood there with her eyes half-down, her expression calm.
I said to her slowly, "Guanniang told me about you and Liu Shilang. Then he said no more.
She couldn't figure out what I was going to do, and I didn't know what she was thinking. She wanted me to talk more, but I wanted to give her the opportunity to speak.
After a stalemate, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Ying Niang had no choice but to speak: "This matter is at fault with the slave maid, which not only annoys the second elder of the Liu family because of this, but also disturbs the young lady and Xuan Niang." The slave maid is at the disposal of the young lady and the lady. ”
She blindly took the mistake and didn't mention what was going on between herself and Liu Shilang, obviously deliberately avoiding it.
And last night Guanniang looked for her, today Guanniang came to see me early, she thinks that since Guanniang has already spoken, so she thinks that I have an idea in my heart, I just need to wait for me to speak.
But now that I've intervened in this matter, I'm not going to end it so-so. Besides, this is a matter of someone's life, if I make a hasty decision according to her wishes now, it will be too late for her to regret it in the future.
I pretended to be confused and asked her, "What do you think I should do with you?" Did you approve Liu Shilang's request and marry you, or did you obey the wishes of the second elder of the Liu family and reject this marriage? ”
Ying Niang raised her head in surprise, and Qian Niang also looked at me in surprise.
After a while, Ying Niang explained in a low voice: "Slave maid...... That's not what it means......"
I ignored her explanation and asked her coldly: "If the second elder of the Liu family agrees, are you willing to marry Liu Shilang?" ”
This question is also very abrupt, and only this time can she reveal her true heart in a sudden situation.
Ying Niang's face turned red, and she bit her lip for a long time, the crimson faded from her cheeks little by little, as if she had made a great determination, and said coldly: "I don't want to." ”
Why not? I originally thought that she didn't agree to this marriage because she took care of the second elder of the Liu family, but it seems that in addition to this, she has greater concerns.
What could it be? What did Guan Niang tell her? I couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Ying Niang said again: "So please also ask the young lady to explain to the second elder of the Liu family that the slave maid never thought of marrying Liu Shilang, and ask them to relax." ”
"This lady will say it then." After a pause, I asked again, "What about Liu Shilang?" "Don't you have anything to say to him?
Ying Niang's voice was still cold, and she said: "Since the slave has already said 'unwilling', then he will naturally not be entangled anymore." ”
"Okay." I was silent for a while, then spat out a word.
Ying Niang blessed her and said, "Thank you, young lady." He added: "If the young lady has no other instructions, the slave and maid will retreat first." ”
Guan Niang also stood up, and said, "After the young lady has breakfast, I will bring the account books of the Grange again." ”
"Hmm." I nodded and said, "You all go down." ”
The two left together.
Yueying stretched her neck and looked at them for a while, and when she couldn't see them, she sighed with me: "It turns out that Liu Shilang is unrequited love, and Ying Niang doesn't want to marry him, so it's fake to say that the two are 'getting along'!" ”
I chuckled and said, "That kind of thing doesn't come out of nowhere." ”
Yue Ying winked at me and asked, "Then why did Ying Niang say she didn't want to?" ”
"Maybe there's some reason." I took a sip of tea, and the tea was lukewarm, not hot anymore.
"Uh-huh," Yue Ying nodded, and said again, "Then this matter is settled?" ”
"Isn't it just like this for the time being?" I said helplessly, "People themselves have said 'unwilling'." ”
"Isn't it a pity?" Yue Ying said wistfully.
I didn't answer. After a while, I asked her, "Have you been to see Liang Gongzi in the morning?" ”
"Not yet. It's too early to go...... I'm afraid that Liang Gongzi hasn't gotten up yet. Yueying looked a little embarrassed.
I smiled lightly, thinking that it was indeed inconvenient to let Yueying go early, so I said, "Then let's go after breakfast." Then he said to her, "Go to the kitchen and tell them to bring breakfast here." ”
"Okay." There was unconcealed pleasure in Yueying's voice, and her steps were also very brisk.
I looked at her back and felt a little happy, this girl seems to have become much more lively since she came here.
After breakfast, Xuan Niang came over, followed by Ying Niang, who was still holding a stack of account books in her hand.
I think that in the past, when my mother-in-law was here, she would go through these account books in person, because they had no intention of leaving after sending the account books, and Guan Niang also stood aside and explained to me what was recorded in each account book.
I don't want to see it. But I really can't say anything like that at this point. had to stay up with them, pretending to turn over an account book, during which she also asked Ying Niang to go to the kitchen to get tea twice, and Yueying to get soup once, hoping to pass some time.
I sat in the room until near noon, and I didn't read a word in the account book, thinking that I was about to have lunch, so I felt a little more relaxed.
A little maid was led in by Yue Ying, I thought she was here to inform us that the lunch was ready, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, closed the account book, and stood up again to stretch my muscles.
But the little maid blessed her and said: "Young lady, Guanniang, someone from the Liu family just said that Liu Shilang suddenly disappeared at noon, and no matter how I looked for it, I didn't find anyone." Therefore, the second elder of the Liu family came to beg the young lady and Guanniang, hoping to get the people in Zhuangzi to help find them. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "click" sound in the room. The account book in Yinniang's hand fell to the ground.
Her face turned a little pale, and she hurriedly picked up the account book with one hand, but because she was nervous, she accidentally tore the account book. (To be continued.) )
