Chapter 25 Suspected to be a green plum
Farewell to Shanlin's daughter-in-law, as soon as Ran Ran entered the door, she saw Old Madam Gu with a serious expression, her eyes falling on the table, as if she was thinking about what was the problem.
Ran Ran interrupted Old Madam Gu's thoughts softly, saluted with a sweet smile, and then rubbed it over familiarly, "Grandmother Wanfu, I look so good today, like ten years younger." ”
Mrs. Gu has never given birth to a child in her life, and her son is only Gu Shichang, who is still an old concubine, not to mention closeness, it is rare not to dislike it. And Gu Shichang also has no son to rest, the Yao family has passed through the door for so many years, and it has been repeated several times, and finally Gu Lianzhao was saved, so the Gu family held him up and down for fear of falling, and was afraid of turning a blind eye, as long as it was not murder and arson, everyone turned a blind eye.
Although there are a lot of close-fitting maids, in the end, there is a distinction between master and servant, and when it is big, it will be allowed, and after that, it will turn the sky upside down. There was a maid Qi in the past, and then she gave birth to Gu Shichang, and Mrs. Gu was lonely and scared in her heart.
But Ranran's identity is different, what is good to her is that of elders to juniors, she will not be powerful when she grows up, and she will be closer when she is familiar, the key is that she can be good to Gu Lianzhao. Mrs. Gu has entrusted her longing and affection for her children and grandchildren over the years to Ranran, sparing her from making a big mistake, and Mrs. Gu is also willing to protect her.
Of course, she would never say these words to Ranran, but just smiled and tolerated her naughtiness, "You little girl, you've only been here for a few days, and you've learned to be flamboyant." ”
Ran Ran could guess Mrs. Gu's attitude towards her, so as long as she didn't touch Gu Lianzhao's hole card, she didn't mind being closer to Mrs. Gu. At the suggestion of Mrs. Gu, she sat down next to her, massaged the palm of Mrs. Gu's hand, and did not forget to pour soup on her mouth: "That is my grandmother gave me meat to eat, so my mouth is slippery." ”
Old Madam Gu was pinched comfortably, squinted her eyes and said, "Hehehe, don't you have any meat to eat at your uncle's house?" ”
Ran Ran raised her head and stretched out her palm to gesture solemnly, "Yes, the meat of the two fingers was chopped into mince, the soup was cooked, and the sinking ground was removed, and the one floating on it was ours." ”
Old Madam Gu said with a smile: "Then everything that sinks to the bottom will be given to you." ”
Ran Ran lowered her little face and pretended to be pitiful, "Grandmother, can you not chop it up?" I'm afraid my teeth will leak and the minced meat will run away. ”
Immediately made Mrs. Gu happy, "You bad girl, laughing makes my stomach hurt." ”
After talking and laughing with Ranran for a while, Shanlin's daughter-in-law came back, and the old lady Gu put away her mood, took a sip of the good Longjing, and suddenly asked, "This morning, Zhao'er is here again?" ”
Ran Ran said in her heart, sure enough, she was still stared at, but fortunately, she was alert, so she replied unhurriedly: "Yes, I let him go back, but the young master seems to be very unhappy." ”
Old Madam Gu raised her eyebrows lightly and glanced at her, "What do you say?" "I saw Ranran's little mouth pouting high, and she looked unhappy." I told him not to come, and he dropped the book. ”
She didn't lie, Gu Lianzhao did drop the book and went out, which can also be testified.
The longer she followed Mrs. Gu, the more she found that as long as she didn't have anything to do with Gu Lianzhao, Mrs. Gu was very easy-going. If you have a relationship with Gu Lianzhao, then you have to take the initiative to show everything that happened, once there is any concealment, Old Madam Gu will turn her face.
On the contrary, if she explained the matter first, and Old Madam Gu measured the same as she knew, then even if she made a mistake, she would selectively perfunctory the past.
Just like now, Ran Ran knew that Old Madam Gu must have known that Gu Lianzhao was coming to her, as for what she said, although she was not sure how much Old Madam Gu knew, but as soon as she said the general meaning, she was relieved. Whenever there was a little discrepancy with the information she received, Old Madam Gu would turn her face and deny people.
Ran Ran's words passed the review of Old Madam Gu, so she sighed and said quietly: "He lacks a companion to read." ”
The crisis was resolved, and Ran Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "Didn't you hear that there are two scholars?" ”
Old Madam Gu regained her approachable and smiling face, took Ranran's little hand, and said softly: "The scholar just gave him an ink endorsement, and he didn't know many words, and Zhao'er was also older, so it was not easy to find a suitable person." ”
Rich people are different, and there is a difference between companions and scholars. Ran Ran immediately thought of the little boy who protected her in the palm of his hand, and patted his chest and said that he wanted to learn literature and martial arts to protect her from being bullied. Thinking of this, Ranran's heart suddenly softened, and she sighed softly in her voice: "It's a pity that my brother is not here, my brother is literate, and he is about the same age as the young master." If someone accompanied the young master, he wouldn't be so depressed when he studied. ”
Old Madam Gu had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were full of meaning, she gently patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "If you have this heart, grandmother will be content." ”
Then Shanlin's daughter-in-law took some homework for her, and when she saw that Ranran's daughter-in-law still didn't grow, she let her continue to practice in Mrs. Gu's hall, until after lunch, Mrs. Gu took a nap, and was driven back by Shanlin's daughter-in-law.
I was extremely resentful of the embroidery needle in my hand, she was pierced six or seven times in one morning, and she couldn't let Shanlin's daughter-in-law see it, otherwise she should be nagged again. When she returned to her room, she immediately threw away the embroidery as if she had received a hot potato, and threw herself directly on the bed.
Miao Ling helplessly followed behind to clean up for her, and suddenly heard Ran Ran ask: "Miao Ling, who is Jingjing?" ”
When she heard the name Jingjing outside the house, she suddenly felt a subtle strangeness in her heart, the person who could come to Mrs. Gu to intercede must be different from the other maids in the house. And Mu Lin's daughter-in-law seems to be very close to Shanlin's daughter-in-law, so it seems that this maid's identity is even more promising.
It's better not to be Gu Lianzhao's former child daughter-in-law.
"Who? Who do you say? Miao Ling was stunned for a moment, and then she realized who the person she asked was, "Oh, Jingjing!" It was originally the eldest maid in the old lady's house, and I heard that the old lady brought it up, and she has followed the old lady since she was six years old, and it has been seven or eight years. ”
Really! A big stone sank in Ranran's heart, and she was taken by Mrs. Gu for seven or eight years, so isn't it her childhood sweetheart with Gu Lianzhao?
Lush? Ranran?
I don't know why, she couldn't cry or laugh a little, no wonder she felt that the name Jingjing was a little familiar, not very similar to her name, and the two of them were named after each other.
"Then why don't you see her?" She asked casually.
Miao Ling didn't care, so she said: "I heard that she was sick, and the old lady asked her to go back to recuperate, and I only saw her once when I came in, and I didn't see her again." However, I heard that Jingjing is different from the other maids in the family. ”
"What's the difference?" She was a little nervous, and perhaps this difference was the source of her subconscious sense of crisis.
Miao Ling frowned and thought for a long time before replying: "The Gu family only moved here six years ago, and the house was built at that time, except for bringing several carts of furniture, there were a few people in total. Mother Xu and Jingjing both came together at that time, so the old lady was closer. ”
Ran Ran was very surprised that the Gu family had lived in Yunluo Village for such a short year, and she also thought that the Gu family would either be a wealthy family with a career nearby, or move from Yuecheng to the countryside to live, after all, the surrounding environment of Yunluo Village is unique. It is said to be a village, but in fact, its size and population can be called a small town, and Yunlu Village across a mountain is completely different.
Ran Ran asked again, "Neither are the swifts?" ”
Miao Ling shook her head, she also heard these words from others, "No, many people are not, and they are not from the village, they only came in later." It is said that it came from the village, but we don't know where the village is, probably the land under his name. I heard that the rich people in Beijing like to buy Zhuangzi in other places, so everyone said that the Gu family was a rich man from Beijing. ”
