Chapter 119: Lessons
The first time Zhu went to vain, he couldn't bear his daughter Lingxuan's crying, so he had to be cheeky and go again, this time he didn't even go in, and the old lady closed the door directly because she was unwell.
This was the case for three days in a row, and Zhu couldn't see the old lady, and his desire to ask for money gradually faded, but he began to be afraid.
She knows her ability very well, for many years in Su Mansion, if it weren't for the support of the old lady, she wouldn't even be able to sit firmly in the position of the eldest lady of the Su family, if she really annoyed the old lady, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The more Zhu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he was so anxious that he didn't sleep all night.
The next day, she hurried out early in the morning, and she didn't know what to do.
The news soon reached the ears of the old lady, who closed her eyes and said, "Leave her alone, this stupid woman who is not enlightened, she is going to make trouble again...... Hum! ”
The old lady obviously just snorted softly, but she scared the few maids waiting beside her so much that they all knelt down!
Linglong had already heard about this, and her aunt had been making trouble at the gate of the old lady's courtyard for three days in a row, and she suddenly stopped going today? Did you go to the house to move the rescue soldiers?
This question was quickly answered, after breakfast, Zhu came back with a bunch of things, and when she entered the backyard, she went straight to the door of the old lady's courtyard and knelt down to ask for sin, it turned out that she went out early in the morning to buy gifts for the old lady to ask for sin.
This sudden change shocked the people around her, she made such a fuss a few days ago, and thought that she was going to fight the old lady to the end this time!
Everyone has their own ideas, if the old lady nods and sets a precedent this time, there will be hope for her own sons and daughters to marry in the future; Even if the old lady shouldn't, it is a great pleasure to be able to see the Zhu family, who is used to being arrogant on weekdays, suffer with her own eyes.
But the old lady didn't say anything, so Zhu kowtowed to himself and admitted that he had miscalculated, what's the matter?
As soon as the Zhu family knelt down, someone went to report to the old lady, the old lady didn't say anything but closed her eyes, Wu Sanniang chuckled: "Old ancestor." The eldest lady finally knew that she was wrong, and it was in vain that you hurt her, do you want to invite her in? ”
"There's no hurry."
Zhu's kneeling was half a day, and there was nothing up and down in the house to go to the door of the old lady's courtyard today to walk around very diligently, and the Jin family in the second room was even more smiling and greeting for a while, and then stood aside to chat with her.
said that it was to accompany the chat, but in fact, it was always Jin's smiling speech. Zhu knelt down and listened. The fire in her heart, she couldn't wait to swallow the Kim family in one bite, of course, she could only think about it. In fact, there is nothing to do about the Kim family.
You must know that the Jin family is the younger sister-in-law of the Zhu family, although only she and a pair of children live in the Su Mansion, but the Jin family's father-in-law Su Bingsheng is also the biological son of the old lady Su, but Su Bingsheng was released to Shu to be the prefect ten years ago. At that time, Lingyu was just over a year old, and her son Su Juefeng was studying in Beijing.
Shu is poor, the mountains are high and the road is far away. The three of Jin's mother and son stayed, and Su Bingsheng took a concubine to take office in Shu.
In the past ten years, husbands and wives have gathered less and left more, and the Kim family has no man by his side. I can't get up in the house, and it is common for Zhu to be tripped and wear small shoes, and now Zhu is unlucky. How can Kim relieve his anger if he doesn't come to see the excitement?
At lunchtime, Wu Sanniang, who was next to the old lady, opened the door and came out. Zhu immediately said nervously: "Mother Wu, is the old lady willing to see me?" ”
Wu Sanniang shook her head slightly, but saluted politely to the Jin family: "Second lady, the old lady invites you to come in for dinner." ”
Jin was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile: "Hey, okay, I'll have a cheeky meal today." Sister-in-law, you kneel slowly, I will help you intercede in front of the old lady later! ”
Seeing the courtyard door slowly close, Zhu was hateful and afraid in her heart, she knew that the old lady was really angry this time, she was going to promote Jin to replace herself? How's that going to work? Even if I kneel here, I can't be trampled under King's feet.
Jin is in a good mood today, seeing that Zhu is deflated, he washed her hard, and she can still be favored by the old lady, this is really pie in the sky, I must show it well in front of the old lady, as long as the old lady says a word, I will come out reads;!
Jin entered the house happily and saw that the old lady was already sitting at the table, with four dishes and one soup on the table, and how to eat the soup and little water! What's more, there are no dishes and chopsticks on the table at all, didn't the old lady let herself in for lunch? Isn't it?
Jin glanced at it and muttered in his heart, faintly feeling that the old lady would not give her a good look.
So she lowered her head and stood silently aside, waiting for the old lady to finish her meal slowly, and then looked up: "Second daughter-in-law!" ”
"Mother, your daughter-in-law shouldn't come to disturb your purity, your daughter-in-law is wrong!"
The old lady nodded secretly in her heart, this second daughter-in-law is really much smarter than the eldest daughter-in-law, but it's a pity that Bingsheng is away all the year round, and it is not right to let her be in charge, and the boss is going to make trouble again, alas!
"Second daughter-in-law, I heard that you have been very idle lately?"
Jin smiled embarrassedly: "Mother, you misunderstood, the concubine heard that her mother was unwell, so she came to take a look, and unfortunately saw her sister-in-law kneeling in front of the courtyard gate, so she chatted with her a few words." ”
"Really?"
"Yes, mother, sister-in-law is straight, sometimes she does things without consideration, and please don't worry about her, since she sincerely admits her mistakes, forgive her this time!"
Old Mrs. Su raised her eyes to look at the Jin family, and then lowered her head and slowly fiddled with the teacup: "Juefeng will be eighteen for the New Year, right?" Is his day set? ”
"I have already discussed it with the Shen family, and I plan to set it in the first half of next year, and I have to ask my mother to decide the specific date."
"Forget it, I'm an old woman, I'm not in good spirits, I can't manage that much, you can just look after the life yourself."
"I can't help it, mother, you just feel that Feng's grandmother, granddaughter-in-law naturally wants you to see the days when you enter the door, you should work hard, do your daughter-in-law a favor, take the time to look at the days, or the daughter-in-law can choose a few days for you."
"Okay, let's pick a few days and take a look!"
"Hey, okay, my daughter-in-law knows that my mother is distressed by Juefeng."
"Well, do you have any requirements for a dowry or something from the Shen family?"
"This ...... One qiē but it depends on the mother's decision. ”
Mrs. Su slowly took two sips of tea and was silent for a while: "This time Linglong girl got married, the old man opened his mouth and wanted to subsidize her with 20,000 taels of silver, do you have any ideas?" ”
"Hehe, mother. The silver belongs to the Su family, as long as the father-in-law and you make a decision, how dare the daughter-in-law say anything? ”
"Oh? Do you think it's more than 20,000 taels for Linglong girl? ”
"Not much, not much, what kind of people in Liang Mansion, people hire at least seventy or eighty thousand taels, let's post twenty thousand taels is just right, after all, the third brother is the big one." Why do you have to take out thirty or forty thousand taels of silver? Add makeup or something, and that's pretty much it.
Mother, don't listen to those shallow-eyed tongue chewers, it is a blessing for our entire Su family that there is a girl in our house who marries into the Liang Mansion. Our entire Su family is stained!
Not to mention anything else, in the future, Juefeng and their scientific examinations will be admitted, as long as Liang Guogong and his old man mention it a little, the pen fun pavilion of our children and grandchildren will be much higher www.biquge.info all of a sudden. What a good thing, 20,000 taels are worth it! Absolute value! ”
Jin said as he paid attention to Old Lady Su's expression. Although the old lady only picked at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, Kim could see it clearly, and she knew that she had bet on the right treasure. Only Zhu's pig brain would make a fuss about this kind of thing, and she has two sons. In the future, there will be more places to ask for people, and at this time, I will see where she will regret going in the future!
Jin's words just spoke the heart of Old Lady Su, although she didn't like Linglong. Even if she doesn't like her family, she feels sorry for the 20,000 taels of silver. But compared to the benefits of the back, 20,000 taels is nothing.
She feels more and more that her second daughter-in-law is teachable, the eldest daughter-in-law has a dull brain, and she is still so stupid after so many years of training, this kind of person really can't be taught!
However, if she suddenly takes away the housekeeping rights of the Zhu family, she will definitely make trouble, and Mrs. Su pondered for a moment: "There have been a lot of things in your sister-in-law's room recently, she is not strong, and she often makes mistakes, you are a careful person, and you will take care of the affairs of the big kitchen in the future!" ”
Jin was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and quickly knelt down and thanked him.
Old Mrs. Su nodded, raised her eyes and said to the door, "Let the eldest daughter-in-law come in too!" ”
Zhu knelt for a long time, and finally saw Wu Sanniang come to invite, she was full of joy, fortunately, fortunately, she woke up quickly, and came to make amends to the old lady earlier, otherwise the old lady would not know how to punish herself?
She stood up and rubbed her knees, followed Wu Sanniang into the courtyard, and before entering the upper room, she stopped her makeup, turned around and took a tray in the maid's hand, pulled the corners of her mouth to adjust her expression, and then walked into the house with a smile.
"Mother, the daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, the daughter-in-law heard that Jishitang has a new batch of Korean ginseng, so she went to buy a few early to honor her mother, and asked her to have a large number of them, forgive her daughter-in-law for being reckless."
Zhu knelt on the ground, presented the box with both hands, the old lady stared at her for a long time, and then gave Wu Sanniang a look, Wu Sanniang stepped forward and said softly: "The eldest lady has a heart!" ”
Zhu smiled and said: "It should be, it should be, do a little filial piety!" ”
When she spoke, she glanced at Jin on the side of her eyes, her smile suddenly froze, and Jin smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is really filial, this Korean ginseng will cost a hundred taels of silver!" Alas, I can't compare this filial piety! ”
Zhu's heart has been flustered, but he doesn't know what to say, just when he was happy, he forgot about Jin, and let her see the joke again, this time I don't know how long I want to be happy, hmph, let you take advantage of it, and there will be a chance to get it back in the future.
Zhu glanced at Jin unhappily, and was secretly ruthless in his heart. The old lady above said unhurriedly:
"Eldest daughter-in-law, how is Lingxuan taught?"
"It's good, the two grandmothers are full of praise for her, I believe that as long as you dress up well when you enter the palace, you will be able to choose in one fell swoop."
The old lady was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "It's not up to you to decide, it seems that Lingxuan still needs to be improved, I see that you have been very busy recently, you have to teach Lingxuan and Lingman, and you have to take care of your master, I heard that the new aunt Luo is pregnant, you have to take good care of it." ”
Zhu intuited that the old lady's words would not be good, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, the daughter-in-law is not busy, not busy at all, she can take care of it." ”
"I don't think so, I'm so busy that my brain is confused, where can I take care of it, I just told my daughter-in-law that there are a lot of things in the big kitchen, it's complicated and fine, you can't be busy, or let the second daughter-in-law take care of it!
Second daughter-in-law, you be careful, if you don't understand something, ask your sister-in-law, discuss it, do you know anything else? ”
Jin smiled after thanking him happily: "Sister-in-law, there are many things I don't understand, please give me more advice in the future!" (To be continued)
