While he was talking, Ling Su lifted the curtain and reported, "Zhulan is here." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Before the words were finished, Zhulan had already entered the room with a smile, and when she saw that everyone was there, she hurriedly stepped forward to see the ceremony, and Yuqiao asked with a smile: "How is grandmother?" Yuqiao was supposed to go to say hello first, but it was too late, for fear of disturbing his grandmother's sleep. ”
Zhulan replied: "The old lady is fine, Grandma Xie is worried, I heard the girl and the fourth grandmother turned, the old lady got some high-quality bird's nest the day before yesterday, and asked the fourth grandmother to go back with me." ”
Zhou Zhenwei frowned and said in a deep voice: "Why bother Yuqiao Niang, I'll go with you." "I want to stand up.
Zhulan was embarrassed and smiled: "The old lady asked the fourth grandmother to go in person." ”
Yu Qiao smiled close to Zhou Zhenwei's ear and said softly: "Grandmother must have something to say to me, I will come when I go, what kind of heart do you have." ”
glanced at him with joy or displeasure, and in the end she was already a charming little woman, and she was so beautiful, so this glance slipped out a little amorous. Zhou Zhenwei smiled lightly, stood up from her, twisted his waist to follow Zhulan, couldn't help pinching her fingertips, and saw that the little beauty looked back and doubted, he instructed: "If the grandmother says something, the lady is embarrassed, don't agree, wait for me to decide." ”
Yuqiao nodded in agreement, and then he let go of his hand and let her go.
It is the end of the year and the beginning of the year, although the moon is clear and silver, but the trees in the garden are in the green onion cage, the branches are four, Zhulan still carries a lantern in front of the careful light of the road, and the mouth said: "The fourth grandmother walked towards the light, a few days ago, the second grandmother fell here, her hands and feet were red and swollen and broken, and it hurt very much to look at." ”
Yu Qiao's heart moved, this was next to his own courtyard, and he asked casually: "She is also at this hour?" ”
Zhulan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Listening to the red book, at this moment, when she came to find it, the second grandmother had fallen to the ground and was still angry at her. ”
The two talked, and after a while, they arrived in the old lady's room, Zhulan opened the curtain for Yuqiao, and replied with a smile: "The fourth grandmother is here." ”
Yuqiao entered the room, but saw the old lady sitting on the couch, in front of the couch there was a sunflower-style carved lacquer table, on which was placed a square plate with a smoke and blue painted gold landscape pattern, and there were celadon teapots with lids and six celadon bowls, and two or three plates of tea fruits. The eldest lady was sitting next to her, pouring tea for the old lady.
Yuqiao stepped forward to salute, but was stopped by the old lady, only beckoned her to sit down, Yuqiao hesitated, and the eldest lady smiled: "You haven't seen you for a few days, why are you unfamiliar?" The ancestor called you to sit, and you just listened to her. Then she went up to the edge of the couch and sat next to the old lady.
The old lady looked at her and asked with a smile: "Have you been back for a long time?" Yu Qiao hurriedly said the words of his father's late return. She didn't say anything anymore, and only ate Lu'an melon slice tea with her head on her chin. The eldest lady poured another bowl of tea and wanted to put it in front of Yuqiao, Yuqiao hurriedly got up and held it with both hands, and chuckled: "The eldest aunt has broken Yuqiao, and the nephew and daughter-in-law are filial to you." ”
"Don't bother with this fool." The old lady glanced at the eldest lady and sneered: "The good person she trained is a little, and she knows how to seduce the lord of the house." ”
Yuqiao pursed her lips and said nothing. The eldest lady blushed and was ashamed, got up and knelt down on her knees on the old lady's couch, and said with tears: "The ancestors know, Ruizhu's girl is really a daughter-in-law and niece, pity my brother and daughter-in-law died early, see that she has nowhere to go, and take it by her side, on weekdays, she helps to do some chores for me in the house, begging for food, just trying to have an eaves to cover her body. Now that this happened, the daughter-in-law beat her half to death with a rattan stick, and after careful torture, she realized that it was Zhenhuan who lured her first, and she was still ....... She suddenly glanced at Yuqiao and stood up.
"Nothing, you just say it." The old lady was impatient. The eldest lady replied stubbornly: "Listening to Ruizhu, Zhenhuan also has dirty thoughts about Yuqiao. ”
The old lady made a gloomy face and said: "You have to say it carefully, how can that little hoof know, if you can't make a reason, and you will tarnish Zhenhuan's reputation, see how I punish her." ”
The eldest lady said in a low voice: "Although Ruizhu has done something wrong, she is not a person who is a man of false .....!" She was a little ashamed to speak, and when she looked up, she saw Yuqiao lowering her eyebrows and lowering her eyes silently, the old lady was angry, her face was majestic, her heart was cold, and she couldn't care about it, and hurriedly said: "Whenever Zhenhuan and Ruizhu act, they always have to call Yuqiao's name to help them have fun." Zhenwei also knew this, he had no intention of bumping into them that day, and he listened to everything that should have been heard. ”
"I'll just say, for no reason, how could Zhenwei beat him up, there are still these ravines." The old lady was shocked and angry, trembling with anger, pointing at the eldest lady and scolding: "You are a deacon at home on weekdays, are you a blind and deaf person? The people around you will always show some clues, and you are like a dead person. On weekdays, I know how to talk about trivial things. When encountering a big event, you will shrink into nothing, so useless and incompetent, you don't care about the affairs of this house, I will send someone else to pick it up. ”
He looked back at Yu Qiao and said: "No wonder Zhenwei came to discuss with me to buy a house and move out to live, I just thought it was you who wanted to split up, it was difficult for you, but it was the wrong person." ”
Yuqiao's eyes were red, she wanted to cry, rubbed her handkerchief and choked up: "Grandmother also heard it, my cousin did such a thing, Yuqiao was innocently implicated, I only felt ashamed when I thought about it, I have no face to see people, and those who know are just that, I don't know how to chew Yuqiao's tongue, how to reverse black and white!" After speaking, early tears rolled down, with sorrow and resentment, like pear blossoms soaked in spring rain.
The old lady took her hand and comforted: "It's strange and pitiful, grandmother knows that her granddaughter-in-law is a good character, you can rest assured, whoever dares to chew half a word, will be punished for twenty and then expelled from the house." You were born in this house to accompany my mother-in-law for a few years, and you still live in the original courtyard, and no one will let you. ”
She looked at the eldest daughter-in-law who was still kneeling there, and said, "That little hoof named Ruizhu can't be kept, and a little girl will go out of the house early tomorrow morning." ”
The eldest lady suddenly turned pale and cried: "The ancestor is merciful, according to the daughter-in-law's wishes, Ruizhu did such a shameful thing, and she couldn't wait to drive her out of the house, but the doctor only diagnosed her yesterday, and she actually had a happy pulse!" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only the old lady was stunned, but Yuqiao was also rarely moved. The eldest lady continued to plead: "Ruizhu is not good, it is always the blood of the Zhou family in her belly!" ”
After a silence, the old lady looked solemn, turned to look at Yuqiao and said: "It's late at night, my granddaughter-in-law has just come back from her mother's house, she must be very tired, go back and rest!" ”
Yuqiao's heart was like a mirror, knowing that they were going to discuss matters alone, that is, they stayed at the hotel, and obediently exchanged a few words of greeting, and did not mention it since leaving. (To be continued.) )
