Chapter 144: Birthday
The tranquility of Vinh lasted until the evening of the next day.
Luo Yan stood outside the gate of the mansion to see off Chang Xuan, who was sent by Han Feng to guide the dyeing process, and as soon as she and Jiu'er entered the door, they saw Rong Liuyi running over sweating profusely.
When Rong Liu saw Luo Yan, he slowed down, "Oh no, the fourth grandmother is gone!" The second lady sent me to the government to find the second master. Rong Liu ran out of the mansion like the wind from Luo Yan's side......
Zhu Xingru is dead! Luo Yan couldn't believe it. "It is said that good people don't live long, this time God opened his eyes and accepted bad people!" Jiu'er said crisply, seeing Luo Yan's solemn look, "Miss shouldn't be sad for that pig's head......"
Luo Yan waved her hand, "Although Zhu Xingru is arrogant, she is a heartless master, even if she does bad things, she is easy to deal with." It's just that she died too strangely, one corpse and two lives......" Luo Yan remembered that night she cursed Zhu Xingru to die, and her tongue was happy at that time, but she couldn't sleep at night. The next day, when she heard that Zhu Xingru did not jump into the pond, Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The two walked to the gate of the garden of Yonglu Building, and there was a mournful sound from inside. The sharp voice was torn like crying bitterly, and when I heard it, I knew it was Qingluan's voice.
"Qingluan is crying so miserably!" Jiu'er whispered. Luo Yan looked over and suddenly saw Jin Hai hurriedly coming out, followed by four mothers-in-law. Jin Hai almost bumped into Luo Yan, Jin Hai hurriedly gave a salute, and trotted towards the warehouse with his mother-in-law.
Luo Yan didn't stay, and told Jiu'er to leave quickly and go back to Muxi Garden.
The silver hairpin came out of the Yonglu Building and went to the Juju Dove Tower, and when he saw Luo Yan and Jiu'er in front, the silver hairpin walked a few steps quickly, "Say hello to the third grandmother." ”
Luo Yan turned around and saw that it was a silver hairpin, and stopped to wait for her to speak. The silver hairpin really had something to say, Dr. Ding came to the house for two days and prescribed a lot of prescriptions, Qingluan went to grab the medicine and came back to boil it, and wanted to bring it in for Zhu Xingru to drink, but Mrs. Cheng asked Mama Qu to send it in.
All the slaves and maids in Yonglu Building can only stay on the first floor and wait, and only Mrs. Cheng and Mama Qu can go to the second floor. The deacon's mother-in-law who guarded the gate was added to the garden gate of Yonglu Building, and the gate was even more strict last night.
That Dr. Ding never came down in Yonglu Building, and Rong Jue stayed upstairs all the time. The food and drink were also sent in by Mama Qu. Just now, Rong Jue went downstairs and said that Zhu Xingru was dead. Qingluan was the first to rush upstairs, but Mrs. Cheng didn't let anyone stop her this time, and the silver hairpin and Jin Hairpin also followed upstairs......
Luo Yan looked at the silver hairpin's flickering eyes and said, "Hmm." I didn't expect the fourth grandmother to ...... so young What a pathetic! ”
The silver hairpin was stunned for a moment, "The fourth master is even more pitiful, his face has lost weight, and his expression is sad, it is really distressing......" Silver hairpin said this. Suddenly blushing. She immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, "What the slave maid wants to say is that when the slave maid went in, she felt that there was a strange smell in the fourth grandmother's house, and although Dr. Ding smoked wormwood in front of the bed, the slave maid could still smell the strange smell hidden in the wormwood smoke......
"Everyone is at peace with their destiny, and happiness and longevity cannot be forced. Mourn also. You're going to be busy these two days. Luo Yan said calmly.
"The third grandmother is right, the slave maid is going to inform the second lady that the carriage and horse have been prepared, and the second lady said that there is a funeral at home. Let the second lady avoid it, and let her go back to the capital overnight. ”
Seeing that Luo Yan didn't seem interested in her words, the silver hairpin hung her head and said goodbye and went to the dove tower.
Luo Yan looked at the figure of the silver hairpin and disappeared into the afterglow of the evening, and asked Jiu'er: "Just now the silver hairpin said that the carriage and horses have been prepared?" ”
"Yes! The second lady is really quick and thoughtful. Jiu'er didn't know why Luo Yan was asking.
Luo Yan felt a chill in her heart, "Jiu'er, you are looking at our door, and you will come back to me when Rong Meiniang comes out in a while." Jiu'er answered, standing by the broken door of Muxi Garden, looking at the Ju Dove Tower.
Luo Yan quickly stepped into Muxi Garden, Mrs. Jiang's door was open, Rong Xi's laughter came, and Luo Yan's mood eased a little. She was afraid that Jiu'er would come back after a while to verify her idea......
"Lady. My mother said that tomorrow is my birthday. I want to eat a big longevity peach, no, I want to divide you and your father and mother in half. Rong Xi happily took Luo Yan's hand.
"Look at Rong Xi's happiness!" Mrs. Jiang smiled, "Ming'er has to prepare well." This year, Rong Xi became a parent, and he is the head of the family, and his first birthday must be grand. ”
As she was talking, Mama Zhu came in from outside the door with a bitter face, "Madam, the slave maid just went to the kitchen to ask." Ming'er won't let our garden open the stove to cook. I'm afraid I can't drink and feast these days. Zhu Mama glanced at Luo Yan and Rong Xi, and spread her hands helplessly.
"Yes! The fourth grandmother is just gone, and I forgot about this stubble! In the past two days, I just wanted to celebrate Rong Xi. Mrs. Jiang was a little disappointed.
"Ming'er cooks a bowl of longevity noodles, and Mrs. will give the birthday gift to the third master, which is also grand." Zhu Mama comforted.
"What kind of birthday present?" Rong Xi asked Mrs. Jiang with some excitement. Zhu Mama pretended to be mysteriously said that it was a gold belt, and Ming'er saw it.
"What birthday present do you want to give me?" Rong Xi looked at Luo Yan, his eyes full of expectation. Luo Yan was stunned for a while, secretly blaming herself for not taking this matter to heart. "I'm going to give Xianggong a big gift, and you'll know tomorrow."
Rong Xi was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "Mother, my mother wants to give me a big gift!" Mrs. Jiang caressed Rong Xi's arm lovingly, "Your lady is hard, you have to love her more." Rong Xi looked at Luo Yan and smiled, and Luo Yan blushed. She didn't think about what gift she could give Rong Xi, and the silver in her hand was to be used in the dyeing room. She can't afford things that are too valuable, and she is not good at doing her own handicrafts......
"Wouldn't it be too frugal to only cook a bowl of longevity noodles tomorrow, the master is coming back from Huaxi Village......" Mrs. Jiang was a little embarrassed.
Zhu Mama ran out of ideas for a while, and hurriedly diverted the topic, "Why don't you see Baodie and Jinyuan?" ”
"Bao Die and Jin Yuan were summoned to Yonglu Building on an errand. Each house is to set aside two to deal with the errand...... I'm a little worried that Jin Yuan is still young, and he hasn't experienced anything, can he be a good errand? ”
"Jin Yuan, with Bao Die's reminder, shouldn't do anything wrong. It's just that there are enough maids in Yonglu Building, why do you have to summon people in other courtyards to answer the errand? Luo Yan was puzzled.
Mrs. Jiang was silent. Zhu Mama said: "This is the style of the second lady, otherwise how could the prestige come about!" ”
Luo Yan was thoughtful, and looked up to see Jiu'er coming in, and Jiu'er did not avoid people, saying that Rong Meiniang and her husband had gone out of the house with their entourage.
"It's really fast enough, there are a few cars of luggage cages when the second lady enters the house...... There is also the kitchen, I learned on the way to the kitchen that the fourth grandmother was gone, and when I got there, Li's mother said that she would not let the stove hold a banquet. ”
Luo Yan didn't want to break it, she had already figured out the reason for this qiē thing. She didn't want to care about what happened in Yonglu Building, and it had nothing to do with her. Luo Yan just wants to give Rong Xi a good birthday.
Luo Yan mentioned that she would go to Qixia Mountain early tomorrow morning to celebrate Rong Xi's birthday, there are mountains and rivers there, and there are restaurants on the road.
Zhu Mama thinks it's good to mention it, "The slave maid will prepare a few more small fruits to bring, and eat the fruits in the sun on the grassy slope, not to mention how beautiful it is." Zhu Mama was a little overjoyed when she thought about it.
Rong Xi listened attentively, and said in a loud voice that he was going to eat fruit on the grassy slope. Mrs. Jiang frowned, she was afraid that Mrs. Cheng would not let them go, and Yonglu Lou would be mourned tomorrow morning, but she was afraid that leaving the mansion would lead people to gossip. Besides, how to inform Rong Yongxi?
Luo Yan thought about it for a while, so that Mrs. Jiang didn't have to worry, and after a while, she and Rong Xi went to the old lady's room to ask for peace, and by the way, she said that she would go to Qixia Mountain Temple tomorrow to pray for the Rong family to eliminate disasters, and Zhu Xingru's pregnancy and early death must be a bad omen. The old lady would definitely agree, and Mrs. Cheng would not say anything. As for notifying Rong Yongxi, as long as they wait on the way to Huaxi Village first, they can wait for Rong Yongxi......
Mrs. Jiang stretched her brows at this time, and did as Luo Yan said! (To be continued.) )
