Chapter XIX Arrangement
"The Third Lady is here."
The voices of the maids greeting each other came from far and near, and the old lady Jin, who was resting on the red sandalwood openwork curly grass pattern chaise longitarian couch, moved her fingers slightly on her forehead.
"Old lady." Mama Jin lowered her voice and asked, "Look, did you ask me to invite the third lady back, and you can rest again?" β
"No, you don't." Mrs. Jin opened her eyes, stretched out her hand to support her forehead, and slowly supported her body.
Mama Jin hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold it, and when Mrs. Jin sat down, she carefully straightened the placket of the old lady's clothes.
Mrs. Jin let her tidy up for herself, and only said: "The third daughter-in-law is now in charge of the house, and there are such and such trivial things in the family!" Rao her has always been clever, and she is a little unbearable to think about. I'm useless, since I can't help her, don't block her! β
Mama Jin "belched" and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, look at your spirit, you will still be able to make your family for fifty years!" It's just that you want to be idle and throw the burden of this housekeeper to the third lady! β
Mrs. Jin glared at her and said, "You old thing! The older I get, the more I don't have a rule, and you dare to arrange me in front of me, and you still don't know how to chew the root of your tongue behind your back! See I don't hit you in the mouth! β
Mama Jin smiled and begged for mercy: "My old lady, spare me!" If you do fight me, I'll have no face. β
Mrs. Jin is naturally just talking, how can she really beat her? At this time, when he saw her begging for mercy, he snorted coldly and revealed the words.
Mama Jin smiled quietly and turned around and took out a sip from her makeup, and took two sipes of Mrs. Jin's slightly loose temples.
Before it was tidied up, the curtain hanging in front of the door was beaten.
A young woman wearing a fallen horse bun, a large golden seven-tailed tassel and a small phoenix hairpin, wearing a narrow jacket with a golden butterfly and a narrow jacket of orange and red satin, an orange and red jacket with embroidered peony flowers and a red tassel net hem, and a bright yellow flower-sprinkled crepe skirt walked in.
"The Third Lady is here." Mama Jin took the swipe back into the makeup, and when she saw her come in, she smiled and greeted her.
Although she said hello, her tone was very casual, and she did not salute, let alone rush to serve tea.
It was because of the customs of the Xie Mansion, a grandmother like her, who was old and served by the old lady's side, was more decent than ordinary maids, and the young masters not only could not support them, but also respected them.
The third lady Liu was really not annoyed or angry, but smiled and said: "I'm here today, but it will inevitably be hard for Mama, Mama don't be surprised." β
"What did the Third Lady say?" Mama Jin smiled and said: "My old bones, if the third lady doesn't think I'm old and stupid, just leave me alone." β
As she spoke, she gave up the chair next to the couch and invited Liu to sit down.
Liu sat down on the chair with a green satin backrest, covered his lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Mother, you also heard what Mama just said, you have to give me a witness, don't wait until she gets busy and she has something to say." β
Mama Jin was calling the little maid to bring tea, and when she heard this, she hurriedly turned around and said, "How do you say this, I am used to being lazy when I say it." β
Before she finished her sentence, she couldn't help but laugh first, rubbed her stomach with one hand, pulled the sleeve of the old lady with the other and said, "Old lady, you have to call the shots for me!" β
Seeing this, Liu also reached out and grabbed the other sleeve of Mrs. Jin, and said with a smile: "Mother will give me a testimony first, and then let Mama be the master!" β
Mrs. Jin was torn by the two of them, and listened to their nonsense, with a little smile on her face, she only raised her eyebrows and scolded with a smile: "Where are you here for me?" I want to play tricks and play elsewhere, disturbing my peace for no reason. β
As she spoke, she pulled Mama Jin's sleeve back, and twisted it lightly on Mama Jin's waist with her free hand, "You old thing, is it really a bluff for you to slap you in the mouth just now?" β
Mama Jin smiled and rubbed her waist and said she didn't dare anymore.
Mrs. Jin turned her head and grabbed Liu's hand again, patted the back of her hand lovingly, and scolded: "You are really, the affairs at home are not enough for you to be busy?" What are you messing around with this old thing? β
Liu smiled: "Where am I messing around? I really encountered a difficult matter, I wanted to ask my mother for her idea, and I thought that I couldn't do it alone, so I wanted to ask my grandmother for help. β
Mrs. Jin took her hand and asked her to sit beside her, and asked, "What has stumped you?" β
Liu got up and sat on the couch, and said according to Mrs. Jin: "It's a difficult thing, but it's a happy thing to say." β
Mrs. Jin sighed, and was about to listen carefully to what the Liu family said, but the Liu family didn't say anything, and she couldn't help but blame: "You kid, where did you learn the problem?" I only said three and a half sentences, didn't I want to be anxious? β
Liu Shi hurriedly stretched out his hand to put his hand on Mrs. Jin's shoulder, and Xiao Li kneaded and said, "Mother, don't blame me, it's because I'm afraid that I will make you unhappy by saying something, so I'm a little hesitant." β
Old Madam Jin chuckled and said, "Just say, if it really makes me unhappy, I don't blame you." β
When the Liu family heard this, they deliberately hesitated for a long time, and when they saw that Mrs. Jin's face became more and more impatient, they said cautiously: "Since my mother said so, then I will say it directly." I have come here for the sake of the fourth brother's room. β
Before her words landed, Mrs. Jin's expression turned cold, and she snorted coldly: "You are in the third room, why bother to worry about the affairs in his fourth room?" β
Liu smiled and said: "What my mother said, where should the three rooms and four rooms be divided so clearly?" Not a family yet? The fourth brother got Lin'er this time, which is a great joy, according to custom, three days later, it will be 'three dynasties to wash the child', and it should be a banquet to invite relatives and friends. I counted the days, but it was indescribably coincidental, that day was nineteen, but it was Guanyin Niangniang's birthday, so this banquet could not be hasty. The fourth brother and sister have just given birth, and their bodies are weak, so I, as a sister-in-law, of course have to help prepare some. β
Old Madam Jin sneered: "You are thoughtful, who can remember your goodness?" β
Liu Shi Zhengse said: "My mother handed over this family to me, and I only treat people with the word justice, not my conscience." Do you want others to think about me in everything? So what's the point? β
When Mrs. Jin heard her say this, she loved her more and more in her heart and understood things, so she couldn't bear to save her face, so she said, "Since you have made up your mind to be a good sister-in-law, come and ask me what to do?" I don't want to act with you. β
Liu said: "Where do you dare to bother your mother? I have already ordered the banquet hall and the restaurant where the food is prepared, but I am still a little unsure of the list of banquets, so I have brought it to my mother to see if it needs to be added or subtracted. β
As she spoke, she took out a neatly folded piece of red paper from her sleeve, spread it out and held it in front of Old Madam Jin with both hands.
Old Madam Jin pushed her hand away without looking at it, and only said: "You have always understood the proportions, and you know who you should invite to come, so you don't need me to look at it anymore." β
Liu Shi sighed and said with a wry smile: "I did have a number in my heart, but now I have no score." Originally, most of the people invited to this 'Three Dynasties Wine' were people from the baby's grandfather's family, but I listed a list of names, all of whom were relatives of our Xie family, I was afraid that when the banquet was held that day, others saw that the relatives of the Xie family but did not have a family of four brothers and sisters, and they would chew their tongues behind their backs and say that our Xie family treated the four brothers and sisters harshly, so I came to ask my mother, do you know where the four brothers and sisters' maiden family is? I'll have someone write a post to send it. β
Old Madam Jin was already angry in her heart when she heard Liu's explanation of her intentions, and now the more she listened, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but scold: "What to give!" She is a fox/charm who has no home and no roots, and she seduced Ziyan and her for life, and I didn't drive her out of the house to be merciful to her. Do you want me to post a post now, and invite those reckless and rough people on the rivers and lakes to come to the house and let others see the jokes of our Xie family! β
Seeing that she was annoyed, Liu didn't dare to say any more, only lowered his head and was silent.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Jin couldn't help but blame herself for being out of control and angering her for a while, which made her sad, so she slowed down her tone and sighed: "Let's go, you are also a good intention." Go ahead! Just follow that list and send people to deliver posts. β
Only then did Liu have a smile on his face, got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Jin, and said to Mama Jin, "Come and help me on the nineteenth", and then withdrew.
Old Madam Jin listened to the congratulatory voices of the little maids outside the house, and sighed deeply.
Mama Jin smiled and stepped forward to squeeze her shoulders and said, "What kind of sigh is the old lady?" Now that there is such a capable principal as the third lady in the house, what else do you have to suffer? β
Old Madam Jin closed her eyes and didn't answer her words, but only taught her to exert herself on the sore area, and after a long time, she slowly exhaled her turbid breath.
"The third daughter-in-law is indeed capable." Mrs. Jin sighed: "I think I have given birth to four sons in my life, Da Lang followed his father as an official, Erlang set up a school in the clan, Zi Yan is the youngest child, I have been favored since I was a child, the third child is neither long nor small and not as knowledgeable as Erlang His father valued, now he is only a businessman, and he deals with the shopkeepers every day, if it is not for the third daughter-in-law will plan, maybe how the third room is declining now!" Besides, Dalang's daughter-in-law serves Dalang in Shangjing, and Erlang's daughter-in-law and Erlang are in charge of clan studies together, if it weren't for the third daughter-in-law's dedication to taking care of it, this family is estimated to have been in chaos a long time ago. β
Mama Jin smiled: "What you said is biased. Why did several ladies click over, but there was only one fourth lady. β
Old Madam Jin opened her eyes, glared at her, and said, "Don't you know that I hate the Na Li clan?" I shouldn't have let her in in the first place! I won't be angry with the little monkey she gave birth to today. β
"You mean Miss Six?" Mama Jin thought it was funny, "Why do you say it's a little monkey?" I look at her very cutely. β
Mrs. Jin chirped: "What's the use of being born well? His temperament is like that of a barbarian in the countryside. If you want to say these things that provoke me again, don't blame me for not giving you face. β
As soon as her words came to this, Mama Jin also knew that she had lost her sense of proportion, so she hurriedly lowered her head in silence, and took the beauty to beat Mrs. Jin's legs carelessly.
