I only heard the old lady say in a deep voice, "The old body doesn't know what Chu Lang you are talking about, there are thousands of people with the surname Chu in the world, and the girl is looking for the wrong person." ”

The woman raised her head and said with a firm gaze, "Chu Lang in the mouth of the slave maid is the eighth master of Pukou Chu, who lives in Foshou Lake, and he once gave me a jade pendant and promised to accept me as a concubine." ”

She wiped her tears, took out a piece of jade pendant from her sleeve, held it in both hands and presented it to the old lady, the old lady took it, it was a good mutton fat jade, the whole body was smooth and smooth, and it was carved with Bogu patterns.

This is the eighth master's belongings, and now it is used as a token of love on this woman.

The old lady breathed for a moment and said slowly, "Bring it to me." ”

Shen's mother took two steps forward, took the jade pendant in the woman's hand, and presented it to the old lady.

The old lady took the jade pendant, looked at it for a while, and handed it to Shen's mother, but Shen's mother did not return it to the woman, but just held the jade pendant in her hand and stood back in its original position.

The woman knelt on the ground and tilted her head, her eyes followed the jade pendant and folded it back and forth, seeing that Shen's mother didn't mean to return the jade pendant to her, her eyes stopped in Shen's mother's hand for a moment, and then she turned her eyes back to look at the old lady, and added softly, "Chu Lang also gave the slave a few pieces of hairpin ring jewelry, and I didn't bring them today." ”

The old lady stared at her and froze.

The woman's eyes were full of tears, dripping with water, and she looked crystal clear, and I felt pity.

This hard-working performance can deceive men, but can't deceive women, but why are there always some who pride themselves on good acting skills and can't understand it?

Although the old lady died before she had time to take a concubine, it doesn't mean that she hasn't enjoyed the room, the old lady still has a deal with such a woman, of course, she understands what she means at a glance.

The old lady stared at the woman, and felt sick in her heart.

glanced at the low-hanging curtain in the west again, this was originally a matter shared by her daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect her daughter-in-law to pick a child, and she was the only one to face it.

She suddenly understood why her daughter-in-law couldn't stop when she saw the concubine like a big cat seeing a little mouse, and always rushed up and slapped people first.

At least relieved, isn't it, she also wants to jump over and tear that woman's face now, tell you to seduce my son, and call you a fox to mess with my family style.

She breathed deeply to calm herself, but she heard the report from her grandmother that Mrs. Zhong had arrived.

The old lady got up and went out to greet her, and asked the mother-in-law to drive the woman to the backyard to stay, and then deal with it when she came back, but she still ignored Xiuguan, and Xiuguan had to continue to stand in place.

Mrs. Zhong used to work in the Tai Hospital, and only returned to her hometown this month and settled in Pukou, and the old lady also took Ruan's to give gifts.

Today, Mrs. Zhong heard that she was treating Ruan's family, so she specially brought her daughter-in-law with her, and Xiusun stepped forward to salute Mrs. Zhong's daughter-in-law, Gu.

Gu Shi looked down and saw that the little girl, white and chubby, was very cute, her big eyes seemed to be soaked in water, and there were still small teardrops on her long curly eyelashes, and she was suddenly a little distressed.

She took out a small pillow from her carrying box and placed it, Ruan Shi weakly put her wrist on the small pillow, and the old lady Zhong sat in the circle chair next to the couch, put her three fingers on the pulse, tilted her head for a moment, and then changed her hand.

After a while, Old Lady Zhong swiped her beard and smiled, "Congratulations to the old lady, Mrs., this is the happy pulse." ”

The old lady seemed to be in disbelief, and excitedly asked again, "Is this true?" ”

Later, I remembered that he was a famous doctor who rejuvenated his hands, and he couldn't help but be surprised, "Don't blame the old man, the old body is so happy." ”

Old Lady Zhong waved her hand absently, and said with a smile, "It's okay, congratulations." ”

Then he said, "My wife's baby is only more than a month, so I should pay more attention." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law happily saw off the old lady Zhong, and the old lady sat beside Ruan's couch and asked for warmth, asking for a while, what do you want to eat, and then asking if she was tired, and almost forgot about the woman in the backyard.

Ruan Shi lowered his head slightly from beginning to end, some joyful, some shy, and some aggrieved.

Xiusun pouted slightly when she looked at it, mother, your acting skills are too bad, would you be like this if you were ordinary? Acting is also about considering the character itself.

"Mother, I'm fine, I just don't have the strength to go back to the house to rest." Ruan Shi leaned on the chaise longue, took the old lady's hand, and said softly.

The old lady's heart immediately became crisp, and she felt that her daughter-in-law was extremely delicate and pitiful, and completely forgot how unstoppable Ruan's beating up her aunt was on weekdays, "You can rest, everything has my old bones." The old lady said softly.

Finally remembered that there was something missing in the backyard, she immediately ignited her fighting spirit, found the mother-in-law who was serving, raised her shoulder, and repeatedly ordered her to slow down, and personally sent Ruan back to Cong Jiexuan, and Xiusun also followed.

Back in the main house of the Huanshi Mountain House, the old lady sat in the Taishi chair and drank tea slowly.

She is very happy in her heart, she has been looking forward to it for many years, and finally looks forward to another child, if it is a man, it will be the best, and then she will step up the arrangement, and strive to let Ruan and Chu You hold two for three years, and three for four years, so that there will always be a few men.

The old lady sat in the hall and watched the fallen leaves fall outside the eaves, and suddenly felt that the lonely autumn sun was also very bright and brilliant.

I knew that the effect was so good, she should have arranged it earlier, what if the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law was not good, it was a big deal that she would be affected, and all her children and grandchildren would be raised in the Huanshi Mountain House.

Xiuguan saw the old lady's expression in her eyes, and her heart was furious, no one could have imagined that the wife was actually pregnant at this juncture.

She was nervous, and the old lady suddenly looked at her, her gaze was not sharp, but she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move.

The old lady quickly turned her gaze away, and then looked at the fallen leaves in the court, and said in a deep voice, "Go back and copy the Heart Sutra a thousand times, and you are not allowed to leave the house until you have finished copying," she paused, and then said, "Also, if you let me know that there is a next time, you will never have to go to the boudoir again, and I will immediately send you to the countryside to find someone to marry." ”

Xiuguan's legs weakened when he heard this, and he hurriedly argued, "Grandmother, you misunderstood, and I am also ......"

The old lady lowered her eyes and waved her hand, "Don't say this kind of stupid thing in the future, I didn't misunderstand, you have a clear heart, go down." ”

Xiuguan didn't expect the old lady to sentence her without even listening to her defense, the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a twist, and she wanted to defend two more sentences, but the old lady suddenly raised her voice, "Come on, drag the fourth lady down, copy the Heart Sutra two thousand times, and don't leave the house until you finish copying." ”

The old lady rarely spoke in such a sharp voice, and the maids and women in the room were startled, and the mothers-in-law did not dare to delay, and quickly dragged the fourth lady by the arm and dragged her back to their yard.

Xiuguan heard that the punishment had doubled from 1,000 times to 2,000 times, and she felt even more aggrieved, why didn't the old lady want to listen? Just because she is a concubine, can she be spoiled at will? The old lady didn't want to think about it, she was also her own granddaughter.

Xiuguan struggled all the way, the mother-in-law dragged all the way, many people along the road saw it, the news reached the Bifen Pavilion, and Aunt Zhao, who had just been released for two days, was so anxious that she walked around the Taihu Lake Stone in the middle of the yard.

Aunt Mo is in high spirits because her daughter has been very proud in front of the old lady recently, and she is closing the door to give her daughter all kinds of make-up lessons, teaching her how to be clever and behaved, and she has no time to care about other people's children.

The most leisurely is Aunt Wang's mother and daughter, who sit opposite each other on the Luohan bed, drinking warm tea, looking at the vine trellises in the courtyard, the purple cloud-like petals have long fallen, leaving only the bending and winding vines.

Aunt Wang listened to Xiuzhi's narration, took a sip of tea, and said idly, "In this way, the fourth lady is still involved in this matter." ”

Xiuzhi also put down the teacup, leaned on the big pillow and said, her expression was calm, and she didn't look like Mu Ne on weekdays, "I thought that the four sisters were all listening to Aunt Zhao, but now it seems that it is not at all." ”

Yes, Aunt Zhao has been grounded, and she has only been released in the past two days, so she will not have the opportunity to communicate with the outside world.

Xiuzhi said with a smile, "This thing is so obvious, even I can see it, she still has the courage to defend herself in front of her grandmother, it's ridiculous." ”

Aunt Wang also smiled, "The old lady is not the Qingtian Yamen, and the punishment has to talk about evidence, so many people can see it, what else do you need to ask?" She thought that she could escape by pretending to be kind, but she didn't know that the old lady hated someone to be careful in front of her. ”

"Auntie," Xiuzhi leaned forward with a begging look that she hadn't had outside, and her still slightly childish face climbed onto her face, "You say, what will the old lady do with that one?" ”

"That one......" Aunt Wang muttered as she looked out the window at the bare branches.

——I'm the dividing line that shifts the lens——

In the Huanshi Mountain House, the woman named Qin Xiyan knelt in front of the old lady again, and cried again.

"The slave maid is also the daughter of a good family, and her ancestors have also been officials, but her family is in the middle of the road, her parents are dead, she only sells her property with the nurse, and moves to the small courtyard at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, barely surviving, and ...... that day"

Hmph, Zhongshan is an elegant place frequented by Jinling scholars, what does she want to do when she lives there? Do you also want to oil wall incense car, peach blossom flowing water? Do you really think you're a stunning woman? So what are you doing here on your knees with a big belly now?

This time, the old lady seemed to be very patient, and did not interrupt for half a sound, leisurely holding the bowl, gently lifting the lid of the cup and playing with the flying tea leaves, as if this matter was very interesting.

The old lady looked at the cyan tea leaves lively and joyful, wandered in the teacup, blew lightly, the pale cyan water surface wrinkled fine ripples, and then she gently brushed the lid of the cup across the water, leveled the water surface, and then blew again.

Mother Shen watched from the side, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and seeing that her master was in a surprisingly good mood today, she didn't interrupt, just counted that the tea would be cold and then change the cup.

Until the third cup of tea was changed, the woman kneeling below seemed to be unable to cry anymore, and her tactful and pleasant voice gradually became hoarse when she first came.

The old lady listened with her ears, blew the tea lightly, and took a shallow sip.

It wasn't until the woman stopped completely that the old lady said slowly, "How many months? ”

Her voice was leisurely and slow, and there was a majesty hidden in it, which was impossible to ignore, and she trembled a little.

The woman's voice was hoarse, and when she spoke, she felt that her throat and eyes were hurt by something, "Four, four or five months." ”

The old lady listened, squinted her eyes and nodded leisurely, her tone was a little strange, "Oh, that's ......" she pinched her fingers and calculated, "it could be four months, it could be five months." ”
