Chapter 79 Bad News
Youyi sat on the sidelines, drinking tea and listening to them. Listening to the words and looking at the demeanor of the second master, you know that he is not a layman. He doesn't talk much, but he gets to the key points every sentence, and is better at capturing the subtle expressions, demeanor and movements of the other party, and speculating on the other party's mental activities. And he can feel that he didn't do it on purpose, but was used to being in a high position for a long time.
Wei Ru is a person who advocates freedom and is used to doing what he wants, how can he like the feeling of being controlled? "The second master can go downstairs to enjoy the program carefully prepared by our Splendid Workshop, and I will take care of the guys and wait for them." After just a few words, Wei Ru had nothing else to say to serve tea to the guests.
"It's so rude to talk to the second master? How daring! The white face standing behind the second master scolded loudly.
Looking at Wei Ru again, he didn't even hear it, and he didn't even raise his eyelids. She took a sip from the teacup in her hand, and the meaning was obviousβI won't send it far!
was so angry that the face turned red, and the partial master was speechless, and he didn't dare to make a mistake. Don't look at him as just a little minion, but no one is so shameless. He has been serving his master for more than ten years, and now he can be regarded as a servant with a good face by his master's side. In the past, I was used to high-ranking officials and nobles, who didn't greet them with a smile? It's just a small businessman with some silver, and he dares to put up a shelf in front of him. Even if he deals with Wei Ru, it's not good enough, let alone the second master? If she says her name, I'm afraid she will be scared to death!
It's just that the master can't reveal his whereabouts this time, so he can bear this tone for the time being.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the second master, and saw that the second master stood up and said goodbye, but he didn't look a little annoyed, and he didn't dare to say anything more. Although he has been waiting for his master for a long time, he never dares to speculate on his master's mind at will, and he doesn't understand. It is said that a woman's heart is a needle in the sea, but he feels that his master's mind is deeper than the needle in the sea. If he doesn't say the right thing and annoys the master, no one will care about his face as a slave at that time.
Youyi saw the three of them go out, and couldn't help but say, "Why does my sister refuse people thousands of miles away? I see that this second master is not simple, and it is not good to offend nobles in business. β
The second master, who had just walked outside the door, heard it so brightly and stopped.
"It doesn't matter. I do a serious business, and I am not afraid of someone deliberately finding fault. Wei Ru didn't look worried at all, "Besides, Dayu's laws are strict, from the emperor to the officials below are diligent and love the people, and they never bend the law for personal gain." The second master is a high-ranking and powerful person at first glance, and he has a righteous spirit between his eyebrows, and he will not do despicable things because he disagrees with me. Besides, there are a large number of adults, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, how can a really powerful person be as knowledgeable as a woman and a child like me? β
Hearing this, the second master, who was standing outside, raised his eyebrows slightly, and left with two entourages.
Youyi stood at the window and looked down, and saw that the three of them went out and didn't go to the bottom of the color shed to see the excitement, but went to the east.
Seeing this, Wei Ru nodded her forehead with a smile and said, "Ghost clever, so many hearts and eyes at such a young age, can you pay it back when you grow up?" β
"No matter how much heart and eyes I have, I can't hold it in front of my sister." Youyi stuck out her tongue, "Besides, I'm not afraid that my sister will suffer?" β
"Of course, I know your kindness." How could Wei Ru not be able to distinguish between good and bad people.
Although the two have only met two or three times, they have no strangeness, and now they are more intimate like sisters.
Outside the door, the mother-in-law brought by Youyi came to urge, saying that Mama Li was going to take the girls back when she saw that the time was not early, so she asked Youyi to go down. Wei Ru hurriedly asked people to fill French fries, and then took Youyi's hand and said, "I know that because of your grandmother's illness, you are not available." When your grandmother is better, you can come and sit down. I often eat snacks by myself, and no matter how delicious they are, I don't find them interesting. β
"Sister's little snacks here are so delicious, I will definitely come often when I have the chance. I'm afraid that my sister will be tired of it when the time comes, but I will have to eat and take it again. "Youyi has long eaten enough of those sweet and greasy snacks in the house, especially Brother Han likes dairy products, and the most common thing to do in Jinfu is desserts mixed with a lot of milk, and she will be tired for a long time after eating a bite.
"As long as you come, you can take care of it, fries, pots, salted chicken, hamburgers, pudding, drunkard peanuts, ......"
"Yes, I won't be able to move my feet if I keep talking." Youyi reluctantly stood up, "I must report in advance next time I come, so that my sister has time to prepare these meals." I'm really leaving, thank you sister for your hospitality. β
Wei Ru sent her to the door and repeatedly told her that she had the opportunity to come again. Youyi saw that the sisters and Mama Li were waiting, so she had to leave.
The sisters got into the car, and Youyi saw her bring a food box, and said with a chuckle: "Eat less food outside, especially those street food, it's normal to look at novelty and eat." It's good in this season, but it's easy to eat bad stomach in summer. β
"Big sister is very right." Youyi nodded and replied, "Originally, I wanted to bring it back to my grandmother, wife, grandmother, and sisters to taste. Now it seems that I can only eat it slowly by myself. β
Yunyi was very curious, opened the food box and looked inside, "It smells very fragrant, and it looks really novel." What is this made of? β
"French fries, fried with potatoes." Youyi pointed to the ketchup next to her and said, "It's refreshing to dip this and eat it." β
Yun Yi hesitantly picked one up, carefully dipped it in the sauce that seemed red to her, and took a small bite. Xiuyi stared at her every move, and saw her chewing and savoring it slowly, first with caution on her face and then with a smile.
"The sauce is moderately sweet and sour, the fries inside are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the taste is very good. I don't know where I bought it from, I haven't eaten it before. Yunyi picked up another one and let Xiuyi taste it too.
Seeing that the two of them were eating very well, Yuyi on the side couldn't help but look over. But after all, Fang Cai said something like that, and she couldn't let it go.
Youyi also deliberately angered, "Big sister has always had a bad stomach, I don't dare to let it." Besides, it's not a good thing, it's just a small snack that can't get on the countertop. β
When Yuyi heard this, the slightest thought of wanting to taste it in her heart disappeared. She straightened her back and stopped looking at the food box, but the smell was digging into her nose.
"What should I do if I choke on eating while the car is still walking?" She saw that the two sisters were eating very well, and she couldn't help but talk.
Yun Yi closed the lid of the food box, still a little unsatisfied, she smiled at Youyi and said, "Go back and give me some for the fourth sister, and I'll send someone to get it." Anyway, the eldest sister doesn't eat it, and the second sister doesn't like it very much. The old lady is old, and she doesn't dare to give her something to eat, and the wife has been guilty of stomach acid these days, and she can't eat anything that tastes sour. Brother Han likes sweets, how much can Brother Jin and Mama eat? β
"It's rare that the third sister likes it, you don't need the third sister to send someone to get it, I'll let someone send it to you." Youyi smiled, and she could see that Yunyi really liked the taste. Although Yunyi has a lot of eyes and speaks with * adulteration, she still retains a trace of a child's gluttonous nature. Seeing the food, it is no longer completely according to Yuyi's preferences, and now that Youyi is raised by the old lady's side, it is uncertain who will talk to him in the future.
While speaking, the carriage arrived at the Jin Mansion. The sisters got out of the car one after another, went in to say hello to the old lady first, and saw that the old lady was walking slowly under the support of Mama Lu.
"Can the old lady's waist be strained?" Youyi hurried over and grabbed the old lady's other arm.
"It's long overdue to go down to the ground." The old lady smiled, "Dr. Li doesn't even prescribe tonics, I'm afraid that if I make up too much and don't move, it will not be good for my body." In fact, the old lady's waist was almost good, but she didn't dare to act rashly. She tried to sit up a few days ago, but she didn't feel anything serious, so she went down to the ground and walked around.
Yuyi wanted to come forward and wait, but she couldn't intervene, so she could only smile and lean over and say: "The old lady's body has always been strong, although she fell down, she recovered faster than others. If it hadn't been for this fall, the old lady would not have been in bed for several months, drinking the bitter water three times a day. Now that my waist is better, my body is conditioned by tonics, and other places are stronger than before. Now the old lady's body is twenty years younger from the inside out. β
"Among so many sisters, although your mouth is not the most coincidental, it is better than ironing people's hearts with your words." Although the old lady brought Youyi with her to raise her, but Yuyi is a descendant in the end, and she is both talented and beautiful, so she naturally likes it a little more in her heart.
The Feng family got the news, saying that the girls were back at the old lady's side, and heard that the old lady was wandering all over the place, so he hurriedly put down the matter at hand and rushed over. She inevitably had to say something worried and so on, so that the old lady would lie down and raise her for a few more days.
"Lie down any longer, my old bones will fall apart." The old lady sat down to catch her breath, because she did not dare to put the weight of her body on her lap like ordinary people, and walked a little tired.
The eldest man was reading in the study outside, and he rushed over to see the letter when he got it. The old lady was very happy to see that her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter were so filial.
"Brother Han hasn't come back yet? It's not too early for this day, so hurry up and send someone to pick it up. Brother Jin has a cough, but is he better? "There are only two grandsons in front of me, and of course the old lady should ask.
Feng Shi hurriedly replied: "I have already sent someone to pick it up, but what age old child, what fun can classmates have when they gather together?" The old lady doesn't have to worry about it, she will be back in a while. Early tomorrow morning, I will ask him to come and greet the old lady. Brother Jin was fine, he took the medicine and fell asleep. β
"When the child goes out in the middle of the night, he must be sleepy, so let him sleep a little more in the morning." The old lady nodded, and when she saw the time of sleep, she let everyone disperse to rest.
Early the next morning, Brother Han really came to say goodbye. The old lady saw that he was unscathed, and asked about the party last night, and then she was relieved. She saw that Brother Han was still a little awake, so she asked her to hug her in and lie down for a while.
Youyi lives with the old lady and has also developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. She had finished washing up and came over to have breakfast with the old lady. As soon as the food was put on the table, the eldest master and the Feng family came over again.
The old lady thought it was strange, these two people had just asked for peace in the morning, why did they come again? The old man took out two or three letters and said, "Mother, this is sent by the eldest brother from the west. Because I caught up with the Chinese New Year, I saw that you were not in good health, so I didn't say anything. The top one was received this morning, and I thought I couldn't hide it anymore, so I came here. Mother thinks that she has a spring and autumn season, and her son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter are all looking forward to your long life, so don't be excited. β
Youyi was stunned when she heard this, and then thought that the old lady's sister lived in the west, and she had the best relationship with the old lady. After careful calculation, that aunt should be about sixty, could it be that she has some serious illness or not?
Sure enough, the old lady's face also became ugly. She took the letter and read it one by one, and the more she looked at it, the worse her face became, and she saw that the circles under her eyes were red.
"Why didn't you sue me earlier!" The old lady complained to her son, "You know that I have the best relationship with your aunt, if she really has a ...... this time If I can't see her for the last time, how can I be at peace in my heart? Hurry up and pack your bags, prepare my carriage, and I'll be there early tomorrow morning!" β
"My mother also saw it just now, and the eldest brother in the west also told me in my heart that I should not be in a hurry to tell my mother, I was afraid that my mother would be in a hurry. Originally, it was okay to be in the south of my hometown, and it took a few days to get there by boat. But right now it's in the capital, and the carriage has to turn to the waterway, and it's ten days and half a month to swing. I've had a lot of things going on in the yamen for a while, so I can't just throw off my hands and go without any arrangements. My mother is very old and has just broken her waist, how can I rest assured that my mother will go alone? Mother will wait for me for 357 days with peace of mind, and then set off when I am done with my business. β
"I can't wait for a day, why wait for 357 days?" The old lady naturally didn't follow, "Prepare immediately, I'll take the four girls with me!" β
"You are getting more and more uneasy. Since my mother insisted on going and could not stop her, I had to let her go first, and I then rode a fast horse to catch up. "The eldest master personally went to arrange the carriages and horses and select the entourage.
Feng also said that he would follow to wait for the old lady, but it was just a meeting on the scene. The old lady asked her to stay and take care of the family with peace of mind, so that she had no worries, which was a great filial piety.
The eldest man over there went to arrange it, and Youyi coaxed the old lady to eat, "It's a long journey this way, if you don't eat well now, how can you stand it?" When I arrived to the west, my aunt and grandmother saw that the old lady was not in good spirits, and her heart was inevitably uncomfortable, which was not good for my aunt's illness. β
The old lady nodded, and ate some of it, though she didn't have much appetite.
