Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Outer House
Xiao Shi and the old lady were originally talking, but when they saw the girl open the curtain, Linglong and Lingrong both came in, they were stunned at first, and then showed a reluctant smile, "These two children have arrived together today." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" voice was hoarse and dry.
Linglong was puzzled in her heart, and greeted her grandmother and Xiao Shi with Lingrong.
"You're early, have you had breakfast?" The old lady asked lovingly.
But Linglong could hear that there was weakness in her grandmother's voice.
"I've eaten it." Lingrong said, her eyes drooping slightly.
Linglong also nodded, "After eating, Aunt Yan sent someone to send me her freshly made bean paste bun early in the morning, with rice porridge, I ate three, Aunt Yan's bean paste bun is much more delicious than outside." Linglong took the opportunity to say good things to Aunt Yan.
The old lady was in a trance for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, the bean paste buns she made are delicious, and I haven't eaten her for many years." "There was a lot of nostalgia in his eyes.
When people get old, they love to miss the original things. Everything is so good.
"Lingrong went back and told her aunt that she would bring hot food to her grandmother early tomorrow." Ling Rong tried to keep herself calm and calm, her fingertips trembling slightly, not daring to squint at Xiao's face.
Linglong saw it clearly, Xiao didn't listen to what they said at all, and was distracted by himself. As usual, Xiao Shi's eyes were already full of light, what happened today.
The old lady smiled, "Okay, go back and tell your aunt that the cooking is delicious, and grandmother will have a reward." ”
"Yes." Lingrong nodded in agreement.
Linglong followed suit, "What does grandmother appreciate?" I will also make good food, and I will be a grandmother to taste it tomorrow, and if it is delicious, my grandmother will also reward me. ”
"Leather Monkey!" The old lady smiled and pointed to Linglong, "I still have something to do with your mother today, so I won't leave you two sisters to sit more, go out from here, you go to Meishan Xiaozhu, and tell that I was tired yesterday, and I want to rest for a morning today, so I don't need to come over to say hello, and your mother is going to the prince's mansion today, and I can come back in the afternoon, and I can't go over there in the morning." Second, Linglong wants to follow Zhe Ying's girl to copy the scriptures, don't forget it. Remind Linglong, although she is smiling, she can't stop the tiredness in her eyes.
"Yes, got it." Linglong agreed.
"You two are more close to them, they are all their own relatives, they just came to the capital, if there is anything you want to go, you don't have to run back to tell your mother or me, the elders over there agreed, you take their sisters out for a walk, take the capital around, just a little, pay attention to safety." In addition, tell Liuli that the lunch over there is ready, and if I don't want me to go, the blind thing in the house will be dealt with blindly, if I know, I will not follow. ”
Linglong and Lingrong both nodded in agreement, saluted the old lady and Xiao, and walked out of the garden side by side. Both of them felt that Xiao Shi was a little weird, but no one said anything about it, not mentioning this stubble. smiled all the way towards Meishan Xiaozhu.
When Linglong and Lingrong left Ciyuan, the old lady sighed deeply and looked at her daughter-in-law who was sitting at the bottom, her sallow face made her feel a little more distressed.
Over the years, although she has treated her children harshly, she has indeed broken her heart for this family, and she can't ignore her good.
Xiao Shi burst into tears, "Mother, how can this make me good." The voice was sorrowful, and there was no longer the spirit of the past.
"Are you asking carefully?" The old lady still can't believe that Shichang has an outhouse outside.
"Yesterday, the master rested in the bamboo garden." Xiao said in a hoarse voice. She can't understand, can Aunt Yue serve the master with a belly? Besides, she was full of stretch marks on her belly. Why does the master always go to the bamboo garden to rest every once in a while! This vixen really holds his stomach and doesn't stop.
However, at this time, the Xiao family did not have the slightest intention to fight with these aunts. Compared to the outer house, she would rather let Aunt Yue stumble the master every day.
"Before this matter is clarified, the daughter-in-law doesn't dare to ask the master," Xiao Shi said with a sob, full of grievances, half of his body leaned on the chair, the whole person seemed to be drained, and her eyes were empty, "It's just that what the little girl said with the lord is the same, and the daughter-in-law has to believe it." Early this morning, before dawn, the daughter-in-law asked Luo's mother to go to Willow Lane to inquire, and she should come back when the time comes. ”
The little guy who followed Mu Shichang drank too much wine yesterday, pulled Yang Zhu to speak, and somehow suddenly mentioned this, and told Yang Zhu that the master raised a grandmother outside, who was younger and more beautiful than the grandmother in the house, and had a gentler temperament, and always smiled when they met, every time they followed the master over, they could get a lot of reward, and the grandmother's craftsmanship was good, and the noodles made from the master to the ones they didn't like to eat, and they didn't take Qiao, and they would make a pot when they had the opportunity, so that they could satisfy their hunger, and said that the grandmother was good. I often recite poems with my lord. Yang Zhu was stunned for a moment, and covered the little guy's mouth and asked him not to talk nonsense.
Seeing that Yang Zhu didn't believe it, the little guy was anxious, so he shook Yang Zhu away, and swore that he didn't say half a word of nonsense. That grandmother now lives at No. 126 Willow Lane, which is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, rockery pavilions, which are much smaller than Mu Mansion, but the layout is not ambiguous at all, everything is available, and there is a red coral more than three feet high in the house, which is called a beautiful, and the one in the old lady's house is not as good as half of it, if you don't believe it, just go and inquire. Yang Zhu saw that what he said was presentable, so he half believed it, and asked him a grandmother in the outer room, what is she doing so swaggeringly, she wants to live in such a big yard and put such good coral, and the little girl said, don't look at the outer room, and gave birth to two sons for the master! The two young masters who carved in pink and jade are both enlightened, and they are very likable, and they are like carving out of a mold with the master.
One sentence was so shocked that Yang Zhu didn't even dare to drink wine. Although he doesn't do good deeds on weekdays, he understands in his heart that he can live such a comfortable life, all because his mother is Xiao's companion, and Xiao's good can follow them.
hurriedly perfunctory a few words of the little guy, and ran home in one breath, without even breathing, he told Luo's mother what he heard, after speaking, he stared at Luo's mother with his mouth open and stared at his two eyes, his lips were chapped, he kept licking with his tongue, and his head was sweating with big drops, and Luo's mother was so frightened that she almost couldn't lift it in one breath, fainted, woke up, didn't care about changing her clothes, and took Yang Zhu to Fangyuan overnight, Yang Zhu told Xiao again, the master and servant were crying and angry, tossing for half a night, Before dawn, Luo's mother took Yang Zhu to Willow Lane.
As she was talking, Mother Luo came in with a pale face and a curtain, her cloak was scattered, without the momentum of the wife's room on weekdays, she supported the two legs that were already soft and couldn't stand, saluted the old lady, and staggered and finally didn't fall.
When the old lady saw her like this, she understood seven or eight points, and pointed to the little pestle next to her, "Sit there and talk." ”
Mother Luo really couldn't hold on, and she was not polite, she sat down on the small pestle, pulling her mouth and trying to speak, but she couldn't make a sound.
Early in the morning, Xiao ran to Ciyuan and said those words, afraid that the matter would be publicized, the old lady immediately sent a room of girls out, and Liuli stayed in Meishan Xiaozhu last night and did not come back, and now there is not even a person to pour water.
Looking at Luo's mother's dry lips and pale face, she seemed to be more than ten years old overnight, and the old lady felt very uncomfortable.
"Mom?" Xiao Shi looked at his nurse with a hint of luck, how he hoped that she could bring him good news.
Mother Luo pursed her lips, her nose was sore, and tears came out, "Old lady, madam, the slave maid in Willow Lane went to see it, it is indeed the master's outer house." ”
When Xiao Shi heard this, he fainted. Frightened, Luo's mother couldn't care about the soft legs and weak feet, and she couldn't care about the rules in front of the old lady, so she rushed to Xiao Shi in two steps, and asked her to pinch people again, tossing for a long time, Xiao Shi slowly opened her eyes, looked at Luo's mother blankly, and spit out a mouthful of blood with "wow", spraying Luo's mother.
The old lady sat there with a calm face, only scolded for her sin, asked Luo's mother to help Xiao Shi lie on the kang, and gave her a few sips of tea.
"Did you see the man?" Xiao Shi lay on the kang and asked weakly.
Luo's mother looked at the old lady, "I saw it, it's an acquaintance." ”
Acquaintance? The old lady and Xiao Shi were startled and looked at each other.
"It's Mei Jiuniang." Luo's mother gritted her teeth and said. When she was in Willow Lane, seeing Mei Jiuniang's smug face, Mother Luo couldn't wait to rush over and tear her up. When she was not married, Mei Jiuniang and Xiao were close friends, how could she do such a thing, wouldn't she be afraid of five thunderstorms in the sky!
Luo's mother didn't dare to tell Xiao Shi how Mei Jiuniang asked her lightly how Xiao Shi was doing. How to shamelessly recall how good it was with Xiao Shi at that time. How did he say with disdain that he couldn't imagine that he would be able to serve a husband today. I didn't dare to tell her what kind of house Mei Jiuniang looked like, and she was clearly the head of the house.
Luo's mother didn't dare to say that the two children looked exactly the same as the master, or twins. However, she couldn't help but talk about the child.
Hearing that it was Mei Jiuniang, the old lady was stunned. The bitter water is tumbling in the bottom of my heart. It turned out to be her, what kind of sin did she do! My heart seemed to be blocked by something, I was uncomfortably out of breath, I couldn't make a sound with my mouth open, I just closed it, and my eyes were staring at Mother Luo.
Mother Luo saw that the old lady was holding her breath, and hurriedly stepped forward to give the old lady a puff to calm down. It took a long time for the old lady to recover. Xiao Shi rolled his eyes, and Luo's mother ran towards Xiao again.
After tossing for a long time, Xiao Shi woke up leisurely, with a pair of eyes like dead people, with a white face, lying there motionless, and Luo's mother cried.
"Don't cry here, why don't you hurry up and take my post to the imperial doctor." The old lady relieved herself for a while, and said with a strong spirit.
Luo's mother wiped her tears and went out, staggering.
After Luo's mother left, the old lady leaned alone on a half-old peach-pink longevity pattern pillow, looking at the golden sycamore leaves outside the window, her thoughts were flying, Xiao was messed up, and she couldn't mess up.
