Chapter 9 Intimacy

I sat in the sedan chair with my head drooped, feeling very aggrieved in my heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although I didn't have much experience of living in a large family like this before, and I didn't know much about human affairs, I could still feel that I was being treated coldly this time.

On the surface, I am my mother-in-law's daughter-in-law, but in fact she is not as affectionate to me as her mother. If she saw her righteous daughter, she would be even happier.

I couldn't help but smile wryly.

But I understand that such suspicion in my heart will not bring me closer to my mother-in-law, and I should continue to do my duty as a daughter-in-law as if I didn't notice anything.

Thinking of this, I comforted myself in my heart, maybe it was because I had just passed the door and had too little time with my mother-in-law, so I was unfamiliar, and after a long time, maybe my relationship with my mother-in-law would become closer.

I pulled myself together and decided that no matter what my mother-in-law thought of me, I would treat her with the best of her.

When I returned to Lanfu, I explained to the kitchen the meals to be arranged, mainly light side dishes, and considering that my mother-in-law and Mrs. Ge would have to delay some time chatting outside, I asked the kitchen to cook later.

After noon, my mother-in-law's palanquin returned. Meals in the kitchen have also been prepared. I asked the maid to bring the food to the dining room, and then waited in the hall for my mother-in-law to come over.

My mother-in-law went back to her room to change her clothes, and when she saw me standing by, she beckoned me and said, "Sit down." ”

I said politely: "Shuzhen asked the kitchen to cook another porridge at noon, do you want to use some porridge first?" ”

She paused for a moment and said, "Come on, I just feel a little thirsty." ”

I smiled and picked up the porcelain bowl to help my mother-in-law serve the porridge, and said, "Shuzhen thinks that my mother and Ge Ganniang have been talking outside for a long time, and they may feel dry mouth, but after drinking too much tea before the meal, they will not be able to eat the meal, so I let the kitchen cook the porridge." ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "You kid is quite careful." ”

I felt happy in my heart, put the porridge in front of my mother-in-law, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't just pick up good words, if there is anything inconsiderate about Shuzhen, please point it out." ”

The mother-in-law gently scooped the porridge with a spoon and said, "Since you and I are a family, we will definitely not see each other in these things." I am a person from the past, and it is also my responsibility to teach you. ”

I smiled sweetly at her and said, "Shuzhen will definitely listen to my mother's teachings." ”

The mother-in-law pays attention to "food is silent, sleep is silent", so no one speaks in the entire dining room when eating.

When they had finished eating, the maids removed the dishes. I sat quietly and waited for my mother-in-law to leave.

I didn't expect my mother-in-law to talk to me.

is talking about her daughter-in-law "Qing'er".

The mother-in-law held the tea bowl and said, "Your Ge Ganniang's daughter is about the same age as you, and she is also a very filial and sensible child. ”

I was a little curious about this "Qing'er", so I couldn't help but inquire and asked my mother-in-law: "When did my mother accept the Ge family's lady as a righteous daughter?" ”

The mother-in-law sighed, looked out of the hall, as if recalling the past, and said, "That was a few years ago, I went to the grange to see how the crops were growing, but when I came back, I met bandits, and those bandits were very fierce...... They took all the money and silver we carried, and they even knocked us unconscious, robbed our carriage, and threw us into the wilderness, but later it was your Ge Ganniang family who saved us...... How can such a favor be repaid? Later, I accepted Qing'er as my daughter-in-law. ”

I didn't expect that the people around me would encounter such a dangerous thing, and I felt scared when I heard it, and I couldn't help but have a little admiration and sympathy for my mother-in-law.

She has been a widow for many years and has supported the entire Blue Mansion, which is really not easy.

Mother-in-law is right, how can such a favor be repaid? I was suddenly ashamed of my previous cautiousness.

My eyes were sour, and I said to my mother-in-law: "My mother has suffered like this, Shuzhen feels sad, my mother should be happy at such an age, if there is anything to let Shuzhen do in the future." ”

The mother-in-law said: "I understand your intentions, but you have just entered the door, and some things are not familiar with it, so I can't call them all to you." ”

I lowered my eyes and said, "Shuzhen will study hard, just call me if my mother has anything." After a pause, he said: "Since the Ge family is kind to her mother-in-law, she is also Shuzhen's benefactor." Why don't you find a time to go to Ge's house and thank them in person? ”

"Not necessarily," the mother-in-law smiled, "I will find a time to bring Qing'er to live at home for a while, and then you can treat her well." ”

"Naturally, you have to be hospitable." I replied. But I thought in my heart, if this "Qing'er" is really Aunt Qing, then what should I do?

She is a benefactor of my mother-in-law, and I can't treat her lightly. But if she is Aunt Qing, I know that she is likely to marry Lan Sheng in the future, is it possible that I am still really a sister to her and kindly?

I can't do it, I can't just let her marry Lan Sheng like this.

My mother-in-law looked at me and smiled with satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and said, "I feel very relieved that you are so sensible." ”

I smiled reservedly and said, "My mother praised Shuzhen like this, and Shuzhen felt embarrassed." ”

I sat in the hall for a while, and only after my mother-in-law returned to her room did I go back to the courtyard where I lived.

Yueying is holding a sewing basket under the corridor to do needlework.

I wondered if my mother-in-law's birthday was approaching, should I sew a piece of clothing for my mother-in-law's birthday? Although my female worker level is really not on the stage, I guess my mother-in-law can't appreciate the poetry, painting and music that I am good at. It's better to make a piece of clothing by yourself, even if you can't see how good the workmanship is, but the mind can definitely be seen.

After making up my mind about this, I thought that the room that I had been saying to be used as a small study had not been cleaned up for a while, so I beckoned Yueying over and asked her, "Did you go to the street and ask if there was a shop that sold glazed tiles?" What about craftsmen? Did you find it? ”

Yueying replied: "It's all found, and the craftsman said that he will come to the house in the sky after tomorrow." I told them about Zhu Niang's request, and they will bring something over. ”

"That's good. Let's go and clean up the room for a while. I said to her as I walked.

Moon Ying followed me.

I said again: "I want to sew a shirt for the old lady, and I want to show off the pattern, what do you say is good to show?" ”

Yue Ying thought for a while and said, "Let's show 'Purple Qi from the East', it is not only beautiful, but also very auspicious." ”

I turned around, pinched her little face, and smiled, "You're deliberately embarrassing me, right?" Can I show off well 'Purple Qi from the East'? He said cheekily: "I don't care, you gave me the idea, you have to help me show, I'm responsible for sewing." ”

Yueying also smiled and admitted: "Okay! It's good to be able to do your part for Zhu Niang......"
