Chapter 228: Mrs. Gu
After dressing up and finishing breakfast, Xiangzhi said, "Grandma sent someone to talk back and forth, waiting in the small hall by the courtyard gate." ”
Jinxiu nodded: "Let her in." ”
Xiangzhi walked to the door and gave an order, and after a while, he saw Mother Sun leading a forty-year-old mother-in-law in.
The mother-in-law squatted down towards Jinxiu and asked for peace, with a smile on her round face: "The old slave's surname is Jiang, and he listened to the call by the grandmother's side, and the grandmother asked the old slave to come over and inform him: Mrs. Gu is coming back for New Year's greetings today, and the eldest aunt and grandmother are estimated to be coming back!" The eldest grandmother is already in front of the old lady and the ladies, please let the third grandmother go over when she gets it! ”
"Okay, I got it."
Jinxiu said to Mother Sun: "Grandma helps the third wife take care of the housework, how can Mother Jiang be free to be free?" Let's still bother Mother Jiang to go through this hard work, I'm afraid that I won't even eat breakfast, so Mom will go and see what fresh snacks Sister-in-law Li has made, and pack two hot ones for Mother Jiang to taste! ”
"Yes! All kinds of snacks! Mother Sun said with a smile: "I have already invited Mother Jiang to taste a few small pastries and drink two black tea brought by Chizhou, Mother Jiang likes it, and I will wrap a few hot meat buns to eat in a while!" ”
Mother Jiang hurriedly squatted down and thanked her: "The old slave is really blessed this time, thank you to the third grandmother!" The third grandmother doesn't have to go to Yan'an Hall, she goes directly to the second hall to warm the pavilion, every time Mrs. Gu comes back, she comes very early, and there are uncles and young masters and young ladies who ask for peace for the grandfather and the old lady! This will be afraid that they are going to the gate, and the third grandmother needs to take two steps faster - our old lady loves this aunt the most, and she is reluctant to be wronged, our grandmother has just married into the house, and she was picked by her aunt! ”
Jinxiu nodded: "Since Mother Jiang likes the black tea in our yard, Mother Sun will give her another two or two, and you have to drink it slowly." ”
Mother Jiang smiled and squinted, and walked out with Mother Sun with great gratitude.
Xiangzhi went outside to get ready, and the people who accompanied her stood at the bottom of the steps waiting to follow the young lady to the second hall, Jinxiu stood up, and asked while letting Xiangtao Xiangcha put on a purple fox cloak for her:
"Just now Mother Sun said that there are big meat buns this morning? Why didn't I see it? Who did it? ”
Xiang Tao replied: "Young lady, there are big meat buns this morning, with thin skin and big filling, all made of good pork belly chopped into shiitake mushrooms and shredded cabbage, and a bite full of oil is fragrant!" But the young lady doesn't want to eat too fatty, so she only served you white rice porridge and double bean cake, golden silk rolls, crystal dumplings, and xiaolongbao! ”
Four of the same, I haven't finished eating, young lady, you have eaten too little!
Xiang Tao added a sentence in her heart, remembering the two big meat buns she ate in the morning, smacking her mouth, that delicious, ahhh
Jinxiu stared at the peach, this spicy girl was raised as a foodie, and she became fat like this in less than a year, her skin was covered with snow and jade, white and tender, and she was a whole ball of mutton fat!
Xiangcha next to him saw that Xiangtao's words were not finished, so he continued: "Young lady Hui, the big meat bun was ordered by Master Hou!" Last night, Chen's sister-in-law Li had already prepared the materials to make double bean cakes, golden silk rolls and crystal dumplings today, and when Hou Ye came back from the outer courtyard, he turned into the small stove and said to Sister-in-law Li: Steamed two more big meat buns, the dough should be thin, and the bigger the meat filling, the better! This morning, Hou Ye ate himself and took a lot of them to the outer courtyard! ”
Jinxiu was speechless at first, thinking of Luo Zhen's bittersweet eating of the batten dough in the outer courtyard yesterday, she couldn't help but laugh: This kid is injured in the heart, right? You have to be cured with big meat buns!
When the master and servants came to the second hall, there was a lively sound in the warm pavilion, and there was no need to guess that it was the aunt who arrived.
I was late and didn't greet the guests!
Jinxiu came to this time and space, although he was born in a peasant family, but when he lived in Chizhou City, he also knew some of the etiquette habits of the upper class of society in this era.
When Jinxiu slept until the morning, she couldn't catch up with everyone to welcome the guests into the foyer, but she was not weak at all: Your aunt is acting according to her old habits, please forgive Mrs. Ben is the new daughter-in-law, and she doesn't know anything!
No one told me from last night to this morning, and waited until the people walked to the gate to make a Jiang Pozi come, if I am a weak person who can't help but walk, I can be even more late!
Although Luo Zhen mentioned it last night, Jinxiu would never say it!
Jinxiu stood under the corridor, silently looked at the thin and tall woman standing at the door of the warm hall, the mother-in-law only called at her "three grandmothers", and then lifted the cotton curtain of embroidered rich peony flowers and clouds with her hands, waiting for her to walk in, Jinxiu did not step forward, only looked at her coldly, the mother-in-law shrunk her neck, blinked her eyes and coughed twice, and raised her voice to report inside:
"The third grandmother is here!"
There was silence inside, and then Shi Shiran walked into the warm hall.
There are no men in the house, all women, it seems that the Lin family has finished kowtowing to the grandfather and the old lady to pay New Year's greetings, and the men went to the front yard, and this place has returned to the world of women.
The mahogany arhat couch carved with 10,000 characters and continuous headdress pattern is laid out in splendid and rich, and the old lady Luo wears a ginger yellow wide sleeve auspicious ruyi pattern placket, the same color is inlaid with treasure and wipes the forehead, the white hair is pulled into a round bun, and a full set of jade and ruby head is inserted, which is bright and shining, and looks radiant, rich and glorious.
A group of women surrounded by her, naturally all of them are surrounded by beads and dazzling, among which the Jin family is more rich and brilliant, and then another lady, thirty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing bright purple dark carved large begonia flowers splendid gown, crane beak emerald flowing cloud hairpin, a pair of longan big pearls dangling in the ears, Jinxiu has never seen this lady, but seeing that her face is a little like Mrs. Luo, and there is a Lin Yao next to her, and her heart must be Mrs. Luo Qiu of Luofugu!
When Jinxiu's eyes turned into the room, Luo Qiu also looked at her, her eyes that were originally full of anger and joy immediately changed their expressions, her smile disappeared, and her face was elongated, more like Old Lady Luo.
The atmosphere in the room was slightly condensed, and nine out of ten people lowered their eyes and pretended not to see Jinxiu come in, but the Jin family unexpectedly smiled and said, "Ah, it's the real daughter-in-law here!" Yesterday were busy walking relatives, I heard that Zhen'er and his wife also went to my uncle's house, our old lady has always been kind and generous, sympathetic to the younger generation, said that the New Year's Day to go to relatives these days do not have to be morning and evening to say goodbye, I think you came back late yesterday? ”
Jinxiu nodded, pretended to be embarrassed, and opened her eyes to say nonsense: "Yesterday, Ah Zhen and I really went back late, so I didn't dare to go over to disturb the elders, Ah Zhen only saw my grandfather in the outer courtyard, and accompanied my grandfather to talk to the guests...... I didn't get any news, I went to Yan'an Courtyard just now to ask for peace, and I heard a mother say that there were guests in the house, so I hurried over! ”
As he spoke, he approached Mrs. Luo and said, "Say hello to the old lady!" ”
took two steps back, and according to the teaching of the palace grandmother borrowed by Nangong a few days ago, he carried out the standard double blessing ceremony like a cloud, and said in his mouth: "Say hello to the eldest wife and the third wife!" ”
Then he saluted with Ma's peers: "Grandma Ann!" ”
Mrs. Luo looked at Jinxiu with a blank face and snorted, Jin looked at Ma, his eyes flashed, he bowed slightly, Ma took Jinxiu's hand, and said apologetically: "It's all my fault for this, yesterday I asked people to go to Chengfeng Courtyard, and I want to tell you that our aunt and wife went back to the house today, but the door of your courtyard didn't open, I thought I didn't go back outside, and then at night, Sister Yu was a little uncomfortable, sticking to me and making noise, and I forgot about it!" It hurt my younger brother and sister to go to Yan'an Hall today, and I missed to greet the guests, I really deserve to be punished! ”
Jinxiu shook her head: "Don't blame my sister-in-law, it's also that I walk too slowly!" ”
sighed in my heart: Life is really like a play, and I also have the potential to be an actor!
Ma Shila Jinxiu walked up to Luo Qiu and said with a smile: "Auntie, this is the daughter-in-law that the third brother married in Chizhou, look, isn't it very Peugeot?" ”
turned to Jinxiu again: "This is Mrs. Shizi of Changning Bolin Mansion, our aunt's wife!" Brother and sister, come and see Mrs. Aunt! ”
Jinxiu saluted Luo Qiufu, who was sitting on the Luohan couch next to Mrs. Luo: "The younger generation has seen Mrs. Gu!" ”
Luo Qiu snorted coldly: "That's it, go aside!" I can't afford to be a gift! ”
Jinxiu couldn't believe her ears: was this true? Zhong Mingding's house of food and hairpins, there is a person who doesn't know etiquette than herself, a rural village girl? No matter how rude and rude he is, he will not directly say to the person he meets for the first time, "Go to the side, don't block my sight"! But this Mrs. Luo, she just did it!
And Mrs. Luo next to her sat steadily, not taking her daughter's rude words seriously at all, and then glanced at the Zheng family, the Jin family and others, all of them lowered their eyes, looking like they didn't hear it!
Jinxiu smiled, her smile was like a flower under the May sun, bright and delicate, and full of vitality, but in the eyes of Mrs. Luo, it was extremely dazzling:
"What are you laughing at? Country village girl, rude and ugly without rules! That is, Luo Zhen, the bastard rebel who has a mother and no mother's education, will take a fancy to this! also brought back to the capital to be embarrassed, it is simply an insult to the face of our Guogong Mansion! ”
When Jinxiu heard this, she didn't feel coke, she raised her face, glanced at Luo Qiu coldly, and turned to Mrs. Luo and said:
"Dare to ask the old lady, is this really a young lady who was carefully raised by the Chengguo Mansion? How do I look like a fake? Miss Guogong is a noble girl, the so-called noble girl, should have elegant and dignified, knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and virtuous and other conditions, words and virtues are carefully studied, but what about this one? Her conversation and cultivation, to be honest, is not as good as a girl ring by my side! With such inferior quality, how could he be born in the Guogong Mansion? The old lady couldn't have held the wrong child in the first place! ”
Luo Qiu was angry, twisted his face and stood up suddenly, raised his hand and called Jinxiu: "I'll teach you a rough thing with a sharp mouth and sharp teeth today!" Disobedience against my mother and humiliation of my brother and sister-in-law! My son has only been staying at your house for two days, and you have driven her out of the house and made several girls suffer a lot of grievances...... I'm here to settle accounts with you today, and I don't believe I can cure you!" ”
Jinxiu stood still, Luo Zhen said that Luo Qiu also followed her father and brother to practice a few martial arts in the school field when she was young, for self-defense and fitness, seeing that she was tall and tall, and her physique was not bad, if she dared to provoke, she had to suffer the consequences of being counterattacked!
But I saw the green shadow in front of me flickering, and it was Luo's grandmother Ma's again, wearing a bean green satin embroidered golden peony jacket, blocking in front of Jinxiu, shouting "Aunt to calm her anger", while dragging Luo Qiu with all her might, the golden hairpin on the falling horse's bun was knocked crooked, and the grandmother did her job, it was really hard!
Seeing this situation, Zheng's face was anxious but he didn't know what to do, Jin got up and stood on the side unhurriedly and persuaded: "Mrs. Gu, you have a lot of adults, for the sake of the younger generation who don't know anything, please don't care!" True daughter-in-law, hurry up and make amends to your aunt, and this matter will be over! ”
Splendid: "......"
It's not my fault, I'll pay a woolen gift!
Let that psycho come and see if I don't beat her! It's a big deal not to live in your capital, go back to Dongshan Village in Chizhou City to live a leisurely life!
Mrs. Luo was angry and anxious, and pounded the Luohan bed hard: "Stop, stop!" Stop! ”
Luo Qiu pushed Ma away, turned around and said to Mrs. Luo: "Mother! Now that you have entered this door, you can take care of the bullet pressure, why can't you teach her a lesson? ”
Mrs. Luo sighed and beckoned to her daughter: "Come on, sit and talk." Son, you have to change your temperament, you're too impatient, you need to know that the coming days are long, when will you pick her up? I have to do this......"
Jinxiu was speechless again, didn't have eyes to see the interaction between this superb mother and daughter, and said to Mrs. Luo: "The juniors have asked for peace, and I have also seen Mrs. Gu, if it's okay, I will go back to the room first, and the juniors will retire!" ”
Luo Qiu had been pulled by her mother to sit down, and at this time she stood up again and said angrily: "Look at it, you are still not convinced that you are rude and rude and uneducated!" Elders talking, you interject in vain! Not to mention that you are a new daughter-in-law, you are an ordinary junior, shouldn't this son serve and accompany in front of the elders? But you want to quit, what do you want to do? Unvirtuous and unfilial things! ”
Jinxiu said coldly: "Whether I am educated or not, whether I am virtuous or not, it is not your turn to evaluate!" I want to serve here and accompany the elders, but I have eyes and ears, and I hear you discussing the future and slowly clean me up, I can't stand it, I'm afraid! I quit because I want to get out of the way, so that you can discuss how to harm me, isn't that good? ”
Jin's eyes flashed, and he said well: "True daughter-in-law, the sky is blue, don't talk nonsense!" ”
Mrs. Luo scolded angrily: "Shut up for me!" It's up to you, a country girl, how can you be virtuous, who is worth harming? ”
"But I heard clearly, you just said you were going to clean me up!"
Mrs. Luo said angrily: "You stupid and stupid local goods! To clean you up is to teach you, do you understand? ”
"I don't understand, in my hometown, cleaning up is harm! If you don't believe it, you always ask your aunt, she is also from Chizhou! ”
Zheng Shi was coldly mentioned, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Village slang saying, I don't understand this!" ”
Jinxiu didn't even look at Zheng, and pursed her lips with disdain.
Luo Qiu said: "What kind of place should you be?" Come when you want, go when you want? ”
Jinxiu sneered: "So, Mrs. Gu knows what kind of place this is?" So dare to ask: Is this place surnamed Luo, or surnamed Lin? What is Mrs. Gu's surname now? Whose housewife is it? ”
"Presumptuous!"
Without waiting for Luo Qiu to answer, Old Lady Luo slammed the Luohan bed hard, and two red clouds rose on her face due to extreme anger: "Feng, you are too disagreeable!" Qiu'er has always been a delicate girl in this house, your father-in-law and mother-in-law have never allowed her to suffer the slightest grievance, how dare you treat her like this? Grandpa Guo loves Qiu'er very much, and whoever provokes her in this mansion will be punished! (To be continued.) )
