Chapter 36: Asking for Something
"Silly child, she is your father's nurse, do you know your mother?"
Linglong gasped, father's nurse? But her appearance ...... Even if my father was still young at the time, he could still talk about it when he looked at this kind of appearance? Linglong shuddered, and Song secretly pinched her, "Linglong, quickly take someone to clean up the hall, let's go into the house and sit and talk slowly." ”
Song personally helped the ghost mother-in-law to sit down in the hall, the ghost mother-in-law couldn't speak, just babbling and babbling, Linglong watched for a long time and didn't understand at all, the strange thing is that Song can understand, and it seems that he has a good conversation with the ghost mother-in-law!
Linglong whispered in his mother's ear: "Mother, ask the ghost mother-in-law, is there anyone else living in this courtyard?" Why is such a good yard empty? Why did my aunt put us here? ”
Song glanced sideways at her, and then asked the ghost mother-in-law with a smile one by one, and the ghost mother-in-law took half a day to answer the question.
Song raised his eyes and said to Linglong: "Don't worry, the ghost mother-in-law said that she lives alone in this courtyard, and there is no one else!" Ten years ago, there was a fire in this courtyard, and many people died.
After that, although the courtyard was repaired back to its original state, no one was willing to move in, most likely because it was too yin here, so the ghost mother-in-law moved over. She is here, and others dare not come, and after a long time, it is rumored that this wind courtyard is haunted, so ...... My sister-in-law is willing to give us such a good yard to live in! ”
Hearing what the Song family said, Linglong was relieved, and she breathed lightly, "That's good, mother, then we can stay here for a long time until my father returns to Beijing?" ”
"Huh? Do you want to stay that long? Didn't you say go out earlier to find a yard? ”
"The yard can be found, but even if we find it or buy it, we are not familiar with the place, and we are all female dependents, so a few people live in the new yard and don't feel at ease! What's more, the old aunt is still here, and her life will be even more difficult when we leave, so it's better to stay safe, take care of the old aunt, and ......."
Linglong's eyes rolled, and he leaned into Song's ear and whispered: "I think that the eldest aunt and Mrs. Su are not good at stubble, they must have bullied the old aunt and father and mother before, and the daughter must fill in more blocks for them this time, and make them uncomfortable for a while before leaving." ”
Song looked at her in surprise, and then glanced at her with amusement: "You kid, with your little female doll, what can you add to them?" Be careful not to annoy them and secretly harm you. ”
"Although my mother is relieved, I am not so stupid, my mother forgot what my name is in Jiangzhou? I can't waste my reputation as a vicious second lady! ”
"Stinky girl, she is talking nonsense, you must never mention the matter of Jiangzhou in the future, I want to find you a good mother-in-law for my mother!"
As soon as I mentioned looking for my mother-in-law, Linglong had a headache: "Okay, okay, mother, don't think about this, it's really not good, just go to the countryside to recruit a farmer, are you really afraid that your daughter won't be able to marry?" ”
"How's that going to work? The farmer doesn't take a bath all year round, and the people live in the same room with the livestock, can you stand it? ”
"Mother, are you hungry? Did I go and see them deliver food? ”
Linglong found an excuse to sneak out, Song shook his head and sighed, this girl is good at everything, but her family affairs are blocked in every way, and there are problems again and again, which is really worrying!
Song rubbed his eyebrows and sat down, and suddenly found that the dumb mother-in-law was still sitting opposite, Song smiled embarrassedly, and whispered to the dumb mother-in-law reads;.
Linglong came out and saw that a few maids were tidying up the house, and no one went to get food, so he thought about it, I am afraid that the food in this Su Mansion is not so delicious, and it just so happens that there is a small kitchen in this courtyard, so it is better to go to the big kitchen to ask for some ingredients to make it yourself.
So she called Shen's mother, took Zhishu and Zhihua out together, and asked all the way to the big kitchen.
By the time they arrived, the fire had been extinguished in the big kitchen, and all the servants had gathered in groups in the courtyard to eat. When Linglong came to the courtyard, a woman in her forties came out and looked at her from beginning to end with a cold face: "May I ask who you are?" ”
Zhishu Fufu: "This mother, my young lady is the second young lady who has just returned from Jiangzhou, and the young lady saw that it was too late and no one brought food, so she brought the slave maid and waited over to take a look." ”
The woman's face was cold, and she was polite verbally: "I'm sorry, Second Miss, we make a few meals and a few dishes in Su Mansion every day, and which yards to send are all to be reported a day in advance, Miss, you came suddenly, there is no preparation in the house, you see, the fire is out in the stove, so ...... I can't help it! ”
Linglong swept around and saw that there were still many fresh vegetables at the foot of the courtyard, "Then give us some rice, vegetables and firewood, and we will take it back and make it ourselves." ”
"I'm sorry, Second Miss, how much rice, oil and salt we use every day are reported three days in advance, and these dishes that Miss sees are all to be made for the masters of each courtyard to eat early tomorrow morning, and I really can't spare them."
Linglong narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean, don't give anything?" ”
"I'm sorry, Second Miss, it's not that the slave doesn't give it, there's really not much!"
Knowing that this was the result, Linglong was not angry: "Okay, if you don't give it, forget it, I guess grandpa and uncle haven't finished eating it yet, right?" Then we might as well go to Grandpa's table to have a meal, and by the way, I mentioned to Grandpa, we came too suddenly, leaving the kitchen unprepared, I'm really sorry! Let's go! ”
Linglong glanced at the steward, and sure enough, he turned around and left, the steward stared at the direction of Linglong's going, it was actually the direction of the old lady's courtyard, and the old lady was now having dinner in the old lady's courtyard.
During the day, she had already heard about the new second lady running on the eldest lady in front of the old lady, and the new young lady didn't know the situation, and even the eldest lady dared to run it, let alone their subordinates. But the eldest lady has already instructed, let's embarrass her, what can we do?
The mother-in-law next to the housekeeper pulled him: "Sister Tan, the second lady really went to sue, the old lady knows, I'm afraid our errand will not be guaranteed!" ”
"But the eldest lady ...... there"
"Oh, we won't give it, but we can remind her to let her take it herself! She is the master, we are the subordinates, what can she do with us? Sister Tan, if it's not soon, there will be no shadow! ”
"What are you doing? Chase it! ”
Several women hurriedly caught up with Linglong, and finally persuaded Linglong to go back.
Linglong picked up a bunch of things, and the four of them were all full of arms, and ordered the Tan steward to find two people to help carry the firewood.
The group returned with a full load, but found that there were no pots and pans in the courtyard, so they took advantage of the large number of people to move again and searched all the things that could be used in the large kitchen.
There are some things that can't be given, but when Tan's mother opened her mouth, she couldn't stop Linglong, so she could only look at it, thinking about how to report to the eldest lady?
