Chapter 147: Old Lady Luo
Mrs. Luo, who first arrived in Chizhou City, can't look down on Luo Zhenzhi's house that she bought and let people step up the renovation of the house, such a five-entry small courtyard can't even compare to the palace of the Guogong Mansion in the capital, not to mention the tall and magnificent, rich and beautiful Chengguo Mansion, it is simply not worth mentioning!
The Zheng Mansion welcomed the in-laws from the capital with the most solemn etiquette, and Mrs. Luo entered the gate of the Zheng Mansion, while happily chatting with the enthusiastic in-laws, while quietly observing with the corner of her eye, and finally decided to live back to Luo Zhen's five-entry courtyard - Zheng Mansion is an old house, although it has a background and is rich enough, but it is not as refreshing and fresh as Luo Zhen's house, not to mention that living in someone else's house is a guest, which can be compared to living in your own house comfortably and safely!
It's only been five or six days since she arrived in Chizhou City, and she hasn't seen anyone from the Feng family come to see her, and she hasn't said anything, so Mrs. Luo feels very uncomfortable.
This countryman is vulgar and shallow-eyed, both greedy for wealth and nobility but ignorant of etiquette, and the in-laws come from afar to condescend to the nobles, they don't go to the house to greet them, and they don't even show their faces! Do you think that Gao Pan will be able to sit on an equal footing with the Guogong Mansion if he gets married? Do you want to invite them, the ancestor of yourself, to make a post?
After Mrs. Luo finished entertaining the people who came to visit from all sides, she couldn't help but complain a few words when she was free.
Zheng said: "Fang Shizhen has to walk for two days to the state city, and it is difficult for that girl on this hot day, maybe she is walking on the road!" ”
Old Madam Luo snorted lightly, and Mama Luo, who was fanning the old lady next to her, smiled: "The two-day journey is not far, how can we come from the capital?" The in-laws are also too careful, so wouldn't it be good for us to go directly to the house to live? The old lady still wanted to see with her own eyes how the lion's mane mushroom grew, but she said that she was building a new mansion and couldn't live in it, so she had to be tired of Miss Feng's running! ”
Under the Luohan bed where Mrs. Luo was lying, the four girls sat around the table, and Jin Qiaoyue accompanied Lin Yao to move the chess pieces. Luo Yan and Jin Qiaoyun ate snacks while watching chess, and listened to the adults in their ears.
At this time, Luo Yan couldn't help but interject: "Mama, don't say it so nicely, don't you be ignorant to bully us?" It's a village girl who lives by selling mushrooms, where did she come from? It would be nice to have a small courtyard and a few low houses to live in like our family's grange! The animal was scurrying about. The chickens and dogs are very dirty, ouch! It's disgusting to think about, but fortunately I don't have to go to her house! ”
"Is it really that scary? Oh, my God! Grandmother, I don't want to go to her house! Lin Yao took a move. He patted his chest with his hand, and his little face turned pale.
Old Madam Luo scolded with a smile: "Look, they are all scared like this!" Don't worry, grandmother is willing to let my precious good granddaughter suffer that grievance! ”
Zheng smiled: "It's just talking, how can you really go to the countryside to live?" Your second brother lived in Fangshi Town for some time last year. There is a restaurant in Zheng's Mansion in that town! Dongshan Village is very close to the town, but it is a little noisy in the market day, but it is only twenty or thirty miles away from the county seat, we are all ready, find a clean house in the town or the county seat to live, easy to get fresh mushrooms......"
"Last time, the third brother sent those mushrooms back to the capital, my father was afraid that he had finished eating, and after such a long time, he should have planted another crop a long time ago, why didn't he send them again?" Luo Yan said.
Mrs. Luo pulled down her eyelids. Mama Luo sighed and said: "I just don't know what's going on, the old lady came to Chizhou because she thought that she could save more for the old man to eat and relieve some pain." Doctor Xu also said that fresh lion's mane mushrooms may be more effective, and the old lady should try it herself, or if this is the case, then the old man can also come! ”
Lin Yao was surprised: "The third uncle is coming?" But he couldn't move when he was lying on the bed! ”
Luo Yan glanced at her dissatisfied: "You don't talk nonsense, who can't move?" My dad can still get people to sit by himself for a long time! ”
"I mean, he can't even get out of bed and walk, how can he come here?" Lin Yao argued.
"Did you get here by walking? Can't my dad come back on the boat? Luo Yan choked.
"Alas. Why are you arguing again? Girls, talk about it! ”
Mama Luo was busy persuading, and Zheng also walked over and patted Luo Yan's shoulder: "Yao'er is a sister, you are a sister, you should let go!" Say less. Yes? ”
"How small can she be? It's time to get some sense! ”
"Why am I not sensible?"
“……”
The two little girls muttered and muttered, Mrs. Luo frowned, feeling a faint pain in the corners of her forehead, in broad daylight, is this about to have another seizure?
She waved her hand impatiently, and Zheng hurriedly motioned for the girls to stand down. He walked to Luohan's bedside and served the old lady with Mama Luo.
"What does Mother think? Do you want to take a pill slowly? ”
Old Madam Luo asked Mama Luo to gently press her head, and sighed: "That pill has been eaten for so many years, and it seems that it is becoming more and more useless...... Alas, it's also difficult! I always remember that lion's mane mushroom you sent back from your mother's house last fall, the first time I ate it, it was wonderful! It is more than ten times better than Imperial Doctor Xu's pills! But the last time Xiao San'er sent it back to Beijing, although it was still a little useful, it didn't seem to be as good as the one you gave...... Could it be like this? Whether it's medicine or mushrooms, the more you eat, the more you can't use them? ”
Zheng paused for a moment: "This, I don't know either!" Xiao San'er said in the letter that this batch of mushrooms was raised in a warm house at home, perhaps, the domestic ones are not as good as the wild ones in the mountains? What's more, it is so far away, and it is a lot of rain in spring, and there are a few rains on the way to send it, which is better than last autumn, the sky is high and refreshing, and the two mushrooms are not stained with a drop of water when they are sent to the capital! ”
Mrs. Luo bowed slightly, expressing her agreement with this statement: "I want to try it now, whether the fresh lion's mane mushroom is better, how can it make the old three young people suffer, he is in pain and alive, my heart is going to break as a mother!" ”
Zheng sat down and rubbed the old lady's legs, and sighed: "So how can a little filial piety from children and grandchildren be worthy of the kindness of their parents?" Han Ru has been raised with hard work, and he has to worry about this and that...... Mother, you have been suffering from this headache for many years, so worry less about snacks and take care of yourself! ”
Old Madam Luo slowly closed her eyes: "I thought, I don't have to worry about you, but I didn't swallow this breath, I'm afraid I can't do it!" ”
When Mama Luo saw that the old lady was about to sleep, she lowered the cushion and let her lie flat, and whispered to Zheng: "It's not the third master's uncle...... Didn't you go back to Beijing with you? I have also asked the third master's subordinates these days, and they answered vaguely, but the city of Zhou is so big, and there are no people, could it be that the second master Jia is really like what your wife said, just live in that county or town, and it is convenient to eat fresh lion's mane mushrooms? I'm afraid that the greenhouse won't be able to raise many lion's mane mushrooms, don't you eat them all, so you haven't sent them back to our house for so long? ”
Old Madam Luo didn't fall asleep, and when she heard this, she immediately opened her eyes, cleared her throat and said:
"Call Fang Er quickly, I have something to ask him!" (To be continued.) )
