Chapter 8: The Little Tuanzi and the Old Lady
Early the next morning, when Ruyi got up, Lu Ziqian was gone, Ruyi remembered yesterday's incident and guessed that Lu Ziqian must have gone to find Lu Er.
Chun Tao listened to the movement inside, and hurriedly brought hot water into the house.
Ruyi listened to Xu Lang's words yesterday, only to know what the Lu family was, she hurriedly crossed and married, because she didn't have a sense of belonging to the Lu family, she didn't bother to inquire about that much on weekdays, only knew that the Lu family was rich and rich, and there were some forces in Beijing, but I didn't know what General Lu was Zhenyuan.
Taking advantage of Chun Tao to serve and wash, Ruyi whispered, "Good Chun Tao, you know that I have not been married for a long time, and it is inconvenient for me as a daughter-in-law to ask about the situation in the family, can you tell me?" ”
Chun Tao knows how to read people's faces, and hurriedly beat the girls who cleaned up the house left and right to go out, while carefully curling Ruyi's hair, while saying "Grandma, the slave is a child of the family, the things in this house, the slave dare not say that he knows everything, and he also knows seven, seven, eighty, eight, and eight, our Lu Mansion is one of the best families in Beijing, and the old lady Lu was a great hero when he was a child and his father, and he was a great hero who fought with the ancestor for a lifetime, and the old lady Lu served three generations of emperors, and other slaves did not dare to say, but when our Lu family was in its heyday, the ladies in the house, food and clothing, The style of the whole body is no worse than that of the princesses! When the slave was young, he saw an unfavored princess, and in front of our Aunt Lu and Grandma Lu, she only had the share of accompanying ......"
Ruyi interrupted Chun Tao, "There is still an aunt and grandmother in our house?" ”
Chun Tao nodded, "The old lady gave birth to two sons, and only then did she get a daughter, the baby is tight, she has been clothed and fed since she was a child, but now she is married to Fanbang......"
Ruyi Qi said, "Since you are a baby, how can you be willing to marry so far away?" ”
Chun Tao sighed, "No, it's just the emperor's will...... My aunt and grandmother have not been back to their parents' house for nearly 20 years since they got married...... The old lady's health was not good, my aunt was forced to marry not long ago, and I went, at that time, Master Lu was still young and couldn't support this big family, our Lu family was not as good as before, at that time in Beijing, but I suffered a lot of anger, even the slave's mother, was also found by someone to hit the board wrongly. At the beginning of this year, the slaves heard that there was a great drought in the north, and in the autumn they heard that the Tartars had no food and were grabbing grain in the north, and the eldest lord was conscripted by the emperor to fight the war, but two months ago he said that he was taken captive by the Tartars, and then there was no news...... The emperor was angry, so he told us to go back to our hometown to reflect, and we were not allowed to marry the eldest young master and Tang Shangshu's daughter......"
Chun Tao stopped her mouth suddenly, realizing that she had said something bad, and regretted her love of gossiping in her heart, so she was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Grandma!" Slaves don't have hearts! Please spare the slave and maid this time! ”
Ruyi listened with relish, and suddenly Chun Tao asked for guilt there, and then he reacted, it turned out that Lu Ziqian was engaged to the daughter of the Tang family, but the emperor did not allow it, I was afraid that it was for the emperor's heart, so he hurriedly married himself.
Thinking about it, Ruyi's mouth pursed, but what he was thinking about was not Lu Ziqian's marriage contract, but the marriage of this Laoshzi Emperor, bad people everywhere, if it wasn't for that will, I was afraid that the original owner of this body should be with that Xu Lang Fenghua Xueyue.
But he understood that Chun Tao didn't mean it, so he pulled her up, "I know you didn't mean it, get up quickly, I'm so scary?" Look at you so scared that it looks like I'm going to eat you. ”
Chun Tao burst into tears and laughed, in the end, she was a fourteen-year-old girl, and no matter how calm she was on weekdays, she was inevitably willing to gossip.
Chun Tao was about to thank her, and a little girl outside the house said, "The old lady passed the young lady to ask questions." ”
Ruyi was inexplicable, just thinking of Mrs. Lu's sour and mean appearance, her little face wrinkled into a bitter gourd.
Chun Tao hurriedly got up, "Grandma, it's all to blame slaves, this hairpin hasn't been ...... hairpin yet"
Ruyi looked at the gorgeous and complicated hairpins prepared by Chun Tao, and hurriedly waved his hand, "These don't care, pick two plain hairpins, it's not good to make the old lady wait for a long time." Chun Tao thought about it, picked two plain silver hairpins and put them on Ruyi's head, and the master and servant rushed to Mrs. Lu's yard.
The sun has just risen, the birds are chirping, and the flowers are red and willow green, it is really a good weather, Ruyi can't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and the mood is also a lot more relaxed.
As soon as he turned around a rockery, he ran into Lu Ziyu, the second Miss Lu who was in a hurry, snorted ruyi, pretended not to see it, and led Chun Tao to go from another road.
Lu Ziyu saw Ruyi, but she was not in a hurry, "Sister-in-law, where are you going, go to the old lady, or this road is closer." ”
Fu Ruyi didn't look like a good thing when he heard Lu Ziyu's tone, but he was rude to ignore people as a sister-in-law, so he had to reluctantly turn around, "This road is closer, but I think there are a few flowers blooming just right on that road, so I want to go and see it." I didn't see the second sister, and I was rude. ”
Lu Ziyu sneered, "I'm afraid that I have done something good, and it is not good to see people?" What about my sister, but it wasn't the old lady who went, sister-in-law, you did those pickled things, the old lady couldn't bear to use it to stain the eyes of the sisters, Xinghua, let's go, just for a while, I seem to smell the smell of foxes......"
Fu Ruyi was furious and grabbed Lu Ziyu's sleeve, "What nonsense are you talking about?" If you don't make it clear to me, you won't even want to go! ”
Lu Ziyu ate and laughed, "Xinghua, look, this is being exposed, annoyed and angry!" ”
The maid Xinghua echoed, "That's nature, Miss, why should we be like this kind of person, if you don't leave, your aunt should be in a hurry." ”
Lu Ziyu pulled his sleeve back from Ruyi's hand and raised his chin, "I heard that there is no Fu Ruyi!" Don't think that when you entered the door of my Lu family, you flew up the branches and became a phoenix, the local chicken, always the local chicken, the eldest brother was forced to marry you, you really think you are the eldest young grandmother of the Lu Mansion? Stop dreaming! ”
After speaking, he rolled his eyes and pouted as he wished.
Fu Ruyi has also been a pampered girl since she was a child, Lu Ziyu said it so ugly, Ruyi couldn't help but reddened her eyes, "Second sister!" I have entered the door of your house, and I have never been rude to you, why do you do this to me? ”
Lu Ziyu frowned, pulled the apricot blossom and left, and threw a sentence to Ruyi far away, "Who is rare, I just don't like you, how do you stay?" ”
Ruyi stomped her feet, tears fell, and she was very aggrieved, so she took Chun Tao's hand and complained, "Where did I provoke her, I ...... like this"
Chun Tao hurriedly comforted, "Grandma, she is a concubine, you are noble, why bother with her......"
Ruyi's eyes widened, "She's a concubine?" ”
Chun Tao nodded, "No, in the second room of our Lu Mansion, there are only two girls and the second young master, and the second girl Lu was born to the second master's aunt." ”
Ruyi was even more surprised, "There is a son in the second room?" Why haven't I seen it? ”
Chun Tao was relieved to see that she didn't talk to Lu Ziyu, "The second young master is still young, only four years old, cute and tight, at that time, I thought where I slipped away?" We've been delaying for a long time, I'm afraid the old lady is in a hurry, grandma, let's go quickly? ”
Ruyi nodded, and went to the old lady's yard with Chun Tao.
There was no sound in the courtyard, and the mother-in-law who guarded the door looked at her nose and nose, and she didn't dare to come out.
If I saw this, my originally relaxed mood suddenly became heavy, and I asked the girl to go in and report.
After a while, Mrs. Lu's angry roar came out, "Let that shameless woman get in for me!" ”
Ruyi frowned, led the flustered Chun Tao into the house firmly, in the house, Yu and Wu were there, but a few girls were nowhere to be seen, Yu held a little boy with pink makeup in his hand, and sat upright.
Ruyi rules and regulations to the old lady salute, "Granddaughter-in-law, please say hello to the old lady." ”
Mrs. Lu slammed her crutches on the ground, "I don't have you, a daughter-in-law who doesn't know women's morals!" Come! Call Ziqian back, and now he will take a break from Fu Ruyi! ”
Chun Tao cried all of a sudden, covering her mouth and not knowing what to do.
Ruyi was choked by Lu Ziyu and was already angry, seeing that Mrs. Lu was shameless and wanted to divorce her, she was even more angry, how did she not know that this ancient woman's chastity was greater than the sky, this was to force her to death!
Ruyi raised his head and looked directly at the old lady, without any hypocrisy, "Dare to ask the old lady!" Which of the seven daughter-in-law committed? How is the daughter-in-law shameless? The old lady doesn't explain, and the daughter-in-law doesn't accept it! ”
Mrs. Lu got up with her crutches, "Okay!" Good! Since you don't care about your face, I'll let you be excused for understanding! Last night, you and Ziqian returned to Ningning, why did you pull and pull with a strange man on the street? ”
Ruyi suddenly, it turned out to be for this? It's ridiculous!
So he raised his head, "Old lady, my Fu Ruyi is sitting up straight!" Last night's incident, I didn't want it, how can I blame it? ”
Mrs. Lu sneered, "Then I want to ask you, what was your relationship with that man before you got married?" ”
Fu Ruyi was about to speak, and Wu came up and took her hand, "Good boy, Hugh has to talk back." ”
pleaded with the old lady again, "Mother, Ruyi is also helpless, who would have expected that the man would pull when he came up?" You have to lose your anger, otherwise what if you are angry......"
Mrs. Lu glared at Wu, "Just you talk a lot?" It's not your place to speak, sit down for me! ”
What else does Wu have to say, Ruyi patted Wu's hand, no matter what the truth of the matter with green onions is, now that Wu is still interceding for her, Ruyi can't even cause her to be punished, "Mother, go back and rest, daughter-in-law doesn't matter." ”
After speaking, he raised his head: "Old lady! Now that you know Xu Lang, the granddaughter-in-law has to say a few words! Xu Lang and I were childhood sweethearts, but you Lu Jiaqiang and I are engaged, and my Fu Ruyi knows what courtesy, righteousness and shame are! Since I have married into the Lu family, I will treat Ziqian wholeheartedly, but the old lady has not been waiting to see her daughter-in-law from the beginning. The grandmother of the Lu family? It's not uncommon for me to have wishful thinking! I don't need Ziqian to give me a letter of resignation, I'll leave! ”
After Ruyi said this, he only felt that the depression of not being able to ask the old lady for peace every morning for the past month was swept away, so he threw up his sleeves and walked out.
Mrs. Lu fell on her back angrily and sat down on the chair, "You...... You...... Good! I couldn't say the whole thing.
Before Ruyi's feet stepped out of the house, he felt that something was pulling the skirt, and when he looked down, he saw that it was the cute young master of Yuxue in the second room.
A little person, with a tiger head hat, and a pink and tender little face that can't wait to pinch out the water.
Ruyi was looked at by the big wet eyes, and his eyes softened a little, and he squatted down and touched the villain's head, "Is this my brother?" Sister-in-law, I don't know your name? As he spoke, he hugged him and kissed the little doll on the face.
The villain was giggled by Ruyi's kiss, and twisted into her arms, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law~ My name is Lu Zixuan, do you remember?" ”
Ruyi looked at the small group in her arms, and couldn't help but twist the tip of Lu Zixuan's nose, "Sister-in-law, I can't remember!" Sister-in-law gave you a nickname, okay? In the future, my sister-in-law will call you Xiaotuanzi! ”
Lu Zixuan still smiled, arching back and forth in Ruyi's arms.
Yu couldn't stand it, so he hurriedly pulled Lu Zixuan, "You kid, how can you get along with ...... It's so unruly with my sister-in-law?! ”
After that, he slapped Lu Zixuan's ass a few times. Xiao Tuanzi left Ruyi, and cried "Zixuan wants a sister-in-law!" ! Don't be a mother! Wow......"
Old Mrs. Lu was even more angry when she heard this, "What sister-in-law, Zixuan, you don't have a sister-in-law!" ”
Xiao Tuanzi snorted and sobbed, "Grandma lied to me, Zixuan's sister-in-law is there!" ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his chubby finger and pointed at Ruyi, struggling to get off the ground. Yu was afraid of hurting him, so he had to break with the small group, and threw himself into Ruyi's arms and refused to get up.
Outside the door, the girls' greetings came, "Hello, young master." It turned out that Lu Ziqian heard the wind and was late.
