8. Foreshadowing (II)
The moon stars are scarce, and the willow trees planted in Bofu have also budded, and green branches have gradually emerged, and the evening breeze is particularly comfortable. The scenery is refreshing, but in the main hall of the second room, all the girls and mothers-in-law have a straight face, walking cautiously and lightly, for fear of making the second wife even more angry.
The candles in the house jumped and jumped, and the light gradually became a little faint, making the whole room dim.
Frangipani lowered her head and carefully removed the glass lampshade and used scissors to cut the candles, and the room was much brighter.
Yu's mother was holding a set of eighteen blue and white porcelain bowls from the Daguan kiln to serve Li's bird's nest porridge, and smiled to coax her to be happy: "Anyway, our master will come back the day after tomorrow, and my wife will be happier." ”
Hearing Song Yi, the murderous aura on Li's face eased a lot, and he waved his hand to signal Yu's mother to remove the bowl, and then squinted at Huang Yao, who was trembling and waiting on the side, and asked softly: "You just said that Miss Six punished Hongyu and Green Clothes?" ”
Huang Yao nodded hurriedly, and explained the matter to Li Shihe in detail, and finally said with some worry: "Sixth Miss, she seems to be different from before. ”
Yu's mother didn't take this seriously in her heart, a seven-year-old girl, no matter how different it was, how different could it be.
Li Shi thought for a moment and said, "Oh? What's the difference? ”
Huang Yao thought carefully about the words in his heart, and then said slowly: "Sixth Miss, she just came out of the old lady's room a few days ago, and turned around and went to the ancestral hall. ”
Ancestral temple? Go to the ancestral hall to kneel to your mother?
Li's brows furrowed even tighter, and he immediately lengthened his face, and only after a long time did he sneer: "Sure enough, it's not my own or I can't feed her, am I not good enough for her?" But she turned around and went to her mother to complain about her grievances. ”
Yu's mother was also puzzled: "It's really not her style to argue." You have taken her with you since you entered the door, and I have been watching coldly for so many years, she really regards you as her own mother" Thinking about it, Yu's mother looked at Huang Yao with a cold face, and snorted: "It won't be any of you who said anything in front of her, right?" ”
"No, no!" Huang Yao's face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly shook his hand to distinguish: "How dare the slave?!" I usually can't avoid it, how dare I mention this to Miss Six? However, Miss Six is not the only one around me who has to use it, Green Yi usually follows closely, she is the daughter of Mother Xu, they are the original Cui family, maybe they don't know what they said. ”
After a pause, as if he remembered something, Huang Yao hurriedly straightened up again and added: "That's right, that's right, Miss Six was so strange in the old lady's room that day, if it was according to her usual temperament, she would have made a fuss, but that day the third lady made noise about her in front of so many people, and she didn't make a sound, and she also compensated the old lady and the third lady herself." ”
"Mom, you hunt geese all day long, and you are caught by geese, right?" Li Shi smiled: "I said a long time ago that the mother Xu next to her can't stay, after all, she was brought by the Cui family from her mother's house, maybe she doesn't know anything." What's more, even if you don't know about our past, let a person who has been with the Cui family for more than 20 years stay by her side, sooner or later she will be seduced, and you won't listen to your mother. Now keep it, I'm afraid it will leave a disaster. ”
Yu's mother was also puzzled, and her bitter face seemed to be very puzzled: "What is the use of Mama Xu staying by her side for the past five years?" How did it just work in the past few days?"
Li leaned lazily on the soft pillow, and said with his hand: "Now it doesn't matter when she got up, the old man is about to bring back another big trouble, we can't find two troubles for ourselves, right?" ”
"What do you mean?" Mother Yu glanced at Huang Yao, who was kneeling on the ground, and hesitated: "The old lady's eyes are good, Rao is you have been serving diligently and carelessly in the past few years, and she is also indifferent." If you're right Miss Six"
Su Zhi is the most clever, and when he heard them talk about this, he hurriedly bowed and beckoned to Huang Yao, Huang Yao was stunned, and then reacted that the next words were not something she could hear, and lightly lifted the curtain with Su Zhi Su Xin and went out.
"What if her eyes are sharp? I've done enough in the past five years, and even the master can't find out that I'm not here at all. This time, those girls and mothers-in-law did not serve well, so that she was offended by the sixth lady, for her sake, I changed a few good girls to serve her, can the old lady and the old man still eat me? Li chuckled, with a look of disdain and disgust, and continued: "What's more, I want to clean her up, and I'm not in a hurry at this time, when I leave this uncle's mansion and go to the master's office, the emperor is far away, who can care about what I do to her?" Mom, do you really think I can't take it? ”
Aren't you afraid of your aunt and grandmother, can't you bear it? Mother Yu sighed and relaxed in her heart, nodded and echoed when she heard the words: "This is also true, Mother Xu is the nurse of Miss Six, but she is not satisfied with serving Miss Six at all, and Mrs. should send them down." But now that it's been closed for nearly a year, isn't it a little inappropriate to send it now? ”
The big family takes the New Year very seriously, and it is rare to have a seizure at this time.
"It's just to take advantage of the fact that they are sent now, and the master of the province will come back and cause another incident." Li Shi rubbed his forehead and felt a little headache: "I can't get rid of these two troubles, and thinking about it gives me a headache." When the old man came back, Mother Xu cried in front of him, maybe it reminded him of Cui's benefits again. That Xu's mother is used to borrowing the dead to live, if it weren't for her crying and crying at the master's place, and asking the master to go to the old lady to ask for love in person, how could Brother Yan be put in her grandfather's house to raise for a year? It's not reasonable to say that there is no such thing anywhere! ”
It is precisely because of this incident that Li's heart should be that Mother Xu's diaphragm deserves to be killed, and it is more unpleasant to look at her than to look at Song Chuyi.
According to her temper, it is really difficult for her to endure Mother Xu for so long, and at the moment, Mother Xu is indeed ineffective in the matter of Song Chuyi's injury, and now she can't say anything, Mother Yu thought about it, nodded and said, "What Mrs. said is the same, but what if Miss Six makes trouble?" ”
