Chapter 57: Undercurrent
Qing Lan cried angrily, and the personal maids around her didn't know how to persuade her, so they circled around her anxiously.
"Miss, don't cry here, it's amazing for people to see it." The maid took a handkerchief and wiped her tears in a panic.
Qinglan cried regardless of it, "Why did she say that about me?" How old is she? ”
"Miss, you can't say that, you will be punished if you hear it." The maid persuaded with a bitter face.
"I'm going to say it, but it's just like me, what kind of sister's shelf, who is rare!" Qinglan was swept in the face one after another, embarrassed and aggrieved, crying pear blossoms with rain.
The maid sighed, and felt that there was nothing wrong with the eldest lady, it was her own young lady who did something wrong, how could she slap her sister's face in front of other people's sisters, this is too much.
After a while, the maid in front of the old lady came over, "Say hello to the second lady, and the old lady will let the second lady come over." He saluted with a smile on his face.
Qing Lan suddenly stiffened and her voice was dumb, and it took a long time to find her voice back, "I don't know if my grandmother only called me one or did she have any orders?" He nervously rubbed the handkerchief in his hand, and crumpled the handkerchief so that it didn't look like it.
"I also called the eldest lady and the second miss, as well as the young ladies of the Shangguan family, the second miss, the slave maid has to inform the others, please take a step."
Qinglan's face turned pale, a little uneasy, and she answered in a low voice, "I know." ”
Qinglan's maid sighed in her heart, it's bad, it is specified that the old lady is going to be angry, this young lady of our family is really ......!
After a while, everyone arrived, and Mingzhu also led her sisters over, and when she saw the old lady, she asked the juniors to salute first, "Say hello to the old lady." "The smile is lovely and cute.
"Well, sit down, good boy." The old lady's face was unhappy, and she looked very strict.
Mingzhu glanced at the three girls kneeling on the ground in the room, the three Qinglian sisters were all kneeling on the ground, and Lingyun pouted with a look of grievance.
Ming Ya glanced at her grandmother with a solemn face with some doubts, and then looked at Mingzhu for help, hoping to get an answer from her sister.
Mingzhu walked around the room with a hint of clarity in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were lightly raised with a calm smile, obviously having guessed something.
The old lady kept staring at Mingzhu, and when she saw her expression, she sighed again in her heart, a little depressed.
"Lian'er and Lan'er were arguing in the yard just now, and Lan'er was crying, what did you say was wrong? Yun'er doesn't have to feel wronged, you are also at fault. The old lady's face looked a little disgraced.
Qinglian and Qinglan glanced at each other, and turned their heads away from each other unconvinced, ignoring no one.
After a while, the Li family, the Wang family, and the Zhang family all came over, and when they saw that the children were all kneeling on the ground, Li asked in surprise: "Mother, but did Lian'er make a mistake?" It's our fault to let my mother worry about it, and I will punish Lian'er when I go back." ”
Qinglian raised her head suddenly and looked at Li Shi in amazement, and suddenly covered her face and cried bitterly, crying with despair and sorrow, which made people unbearable.
Li was startled by this cry, and instinctively frowned and was about to reprimand, but when he heard the old lady sneer, she shook her head helplessly and angrily and smiled bitterly.
"You're such a good mother! Are you in a hurry to convict your daughter without asking? How much do you hate this daughter, and you can't wait to ruin her reputation before you are willing? The old lady's eyes became sharper and more majestic.
Li hurriedly waved his hand and denied it again and again, "No, mother, Lian'er is the eldest sister who didn't take good care of her sisters, she can't escape the blame, I hate her, where did you start talking about this?" "She never dared to admit this crime.
Although she is not her own child, she is also her mother in name, and she is directly responsible for her poor upbringing.
"What about the second child, what do you think?" The old lady didn't seem to mean to tell them the truth.
Wang was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "In my opinion, it's probably Qinglan who is in trouble, this kid is high-spirited and does things with loopholes, and often makes jokes, Qinglian is affected and wronged again, and this kind of thing has happened many times in the past, Qinglian, this kid is good, it's a pity!" ”
This sentence made Qinglian taste the pain of the heart, and the people in the house understood, which means that Qinglian would be more perfect if she was a concubine, she has a good temperament and a good temper, tenacity and gentleness, and can also take care of her sisters and understand the overall situation, but it is a pity that her background has fallen behind.
The old lady stared at Li Shi with a smile, and Li Shi suddenly blushed, couldn't open his mouth, and froze there to accompany the punishment station.
Li really doesn't like Qinglian, because Qinglian's aunt is the eldest master's maid who received her to make a room, and she is a little bit of affection, and she has been favored for so many years.
Every time the Li family saw Qinglian, who looked like his mother, he felt a little disgusted and disgusted, although he had never been harsh, he would never discipline him more, and it was good not to frame him.
Qinglan's face turned even paler, she trembled with fright, and stared at Qinglian even more resentfully, her gaze longed for Qinglian, which made Wang frown.
The old lady was not surprised to see Qing Lan's terrifying and terrifying gaze, Li's eyes lowered slightly, and the old god stood aside, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
The old lady let out a long sigh, turned her eyes to Mingzhu, and asked in a soft voice: "Good boy, I think you know the purpose of my calling them, just tell me, what is wrong with them?" Let them also know how many pounds and taels they are. ”
Mingzhu stood up and said with some hesitation, "It stands to reason that I am an outsider and really shouldn't intervene, but the old lady asked me, and I should also respectfully say two words of truth is the reason for my relatives to remind me." ”
Speaking of this, he paused, looked at his aunt Zhang, Zhang smiled and nodded, there was no displeasure and shame in his eyes, he was frank and generous, which made Mingzhu praise in his heart, it was not in vain that grandmother hurt this aunt, and she really liked it.
The old lady of the Zhang family also nodded in approval, "You just say it, no one dares to blame you." ”
With a straight face, there are sandalwood Buddha beads twisted in his hand, and the Buddha beads are oily and shiny, and it can be seen that the years have been long.
The bronze carved beast incense burner in the corner of the wall burns sandalwood, and the curling cigarette slowly winds up, permeating the room, making people's minds gradually calm down, the sun outside the window is just right, the mottled sunlight shines on the bodies of Qinglian and others, falling a layer of broken gold light, Yingying's waist looks more and more thin and pitiful.
Mingzhu sighed and saluted the elders, with a calm and calm demeanor, "Please redeem Mingzhu for being rude, since some words have been asked about my head, I will tell me what I think, and I have fulfilled the affection of my relatives."
Today's incident is also caused by the high morale of our sisters, and I also have to pay part of the responsibility. The reason was that Cousin Qinglan took a snack, but said that she only invited me and Mingya to use it, and did not mention the second sister and the third sister, which made my two younger sisters feel embarrassed, and I held my breath in my heart and refused to give Sister Qinglan face. ”
Speaking of this, Mingzhu glanced at the audience, and was not surprised to see Wang's expression as expected, and there was a little contempt for Qinglan on his face, and he only hated her disgust for causing trouble for herself.
And Li's expression is a little subtle, both stunned and some take it for granted, it doesn't matter what it is, and he doesn't care what the truth of the matter is.
