Chapter 72: Eating Behind Closed Doors
By the time Huiya calmed down and came to the gate of the Zhao family with her mother-in-law, it was already an hour later. After Huiya hesitated for a long time, thinking that her life experience Aunt Cui would also know sooner or later, so it was better not to tell lies, so she didn't explain anything, only said that she was going to Zhao Mansion to find someone.
Stopping the carriage in front of the Zhao Mansion, Hui Ya whispered a few words to the righteous aunt, and the righteous aunt got off the carriage and went to the door of the Zhao Mansion, knocked on the door knocker.
"What's the matter?" A doorman in his thirties poked his head out of the door, looked at the dress of the righteous aunt, and was not sure which servant it was, so he frowned and asked.
"I am the servant woman of the Huxi Ye family, and our little lady wants to ask to see the second lady of the Zhao family." Although Aunt Yi didn't know why her Miss Huiya wanted to see the second lady of the Zhao family, she still came to the door to ask to see her. After all, my aunt and grandmother said that as long as Miss Huiya's request is not too excessive and there is no danger, she should accept it.
"Huxi Ye family? Haven't heard of it! That Menzi was stunned when he heard what Aunt Yi said, and couldn't help frowning and thinking. When Aunt Yi spoke, there was a lot of southerners' Wu Nong's soft language, although the official language was good, but it also had some local accents, which looked at the eyes of the people in the capital, it was a dirt bun that did not enter the stream.
"Our second lady went out with the second master, as fast as March or as slow as half a year, if you have anything, come back in three months." The man looked down on the righteous aunt in his eyes, so he spoke vaguely and wanted to send her away.
Aunt Yi has also taken on a lot of things in the inner house and outer courtyard, this door squinted her eyes, she knew what was going on, and before the door closed the door, she took out a loose piece of silver in her hand.
The silver was not big, only about five yuan, but the righteous aunt knew that this silver was enough for the door to stop the door. After all, a decent housekeeper only has one or two pieces of silver a month, although this Zhao Mansion looks bigger, it is not much stronger than the Ye Mansion.
That menzi was indeed as Aunt Yi expected, and successfully stopped the action of closing the door, but not because the Zhao family's family was similar to the Ye family, but because that Menzi was an open-minded person who saw money, and spent a lot of effort to get the top people in exchange for such a fat gap with oil and water, so he naturally wanted to earn back the capital.
"The second master and the second lady did go out, but what else does this eldest sister have to ask, the little one must know everything." The menzi looked at the silver in the hand of the righteous aunt with bright eyes, and the words in his mouth were like the wheels of the car.
"The second master and the second lady are not at home, where did they go?" Aunt Yi is a good worker, and the silver is held in her hand and does not move, but she uses the fastest time to calculate the current situation. The first thing is to ask the whereabouts of Second Lady Zhao, if Second Lady Zhao can't come back, will it be the same for the other masters?
"It was said that they went to the south, where did we know where to go, but looking at the second master, when they went out, they brought a large convoy of more than a dozen cars, and even the doctor accompanied them, and this distance is not close." The man pouted and said, in his heart, he couldn't understand that the two of them ran out with great fanfare.
"In addition to Second Mrs. Zhao, are there any female elders in the mansion that can be visited?" Because it was Miss Huiya who visited, Aunt Yi subconsciously thought that Huiya was going to visit the daughter of the Zhao family, so she only asked the daughter.
The old lady took the eldest lady and the third lady out to go into the incense...... "That man is not a fool, when he said this, his eyes were only fixed on the grain of silver, but the old lady refused to say a word about their return date."
The righteous aunt was very disdainful in her heart, but she still handed the silver to the door with a smiling face, only to get a sentence that the old lady was going to go for ten days, and the door was slammed shut.
"Phew, who's who!" The righteous aunt held back her anger and walked to a distance of about ten steps from the gate, only to bow her head and snort, and gasped fiercely and walked in the direction of the carriage. The five dollars of silver were exchanged for a closed door, which is really disgusting to death.
"Miss Huiya, the old slave went to inquire just now, this Second Lady Zhao of the Zhao Mansion went out with Second Master Zhao a few days ago, and if you go south, it will take at least three months to come back." Aunt Yi carefully considered the sentence, and then slowly replied.
"To the south?" Huiya was a little distracted when she heard this, what were her father and mother doing in the south? I've gone back to my hometown, I've never heard of it before!
"Yes, it's been a while, and the man said that if you want to see the second lady, you have to come back in three months." Aunt Yi paused, and then continued, "The old lady, eldest lady and third lady of the Zhao family have gone out to enter the incense, and they will come back in about half a month, do you want Miss Huiya to visit them first?" ”
After Aunt Yi said this, there was silence in the carriage, Huiya lowered her head and pondered for a long time, then shook her head, "Let's talk about it then, let's go back first." ”
The carriage swayed, Huiya's heart was indescribably gloomy, she didn't know her life and death in a foreign land, and her father and mother still had the heart to go out? Is his own safety really not important at all?
As for the grandmother, the eldest aunt and the third aunt, Huiya's impression of them is only the dislike of their reputation, although they try their best to be fair to themselves, and there has never been a shortage of food and clothing, but they have never made Huiya feel the warmth from their family.
My father and mother are not here, what is the need for those people to see, I tried my best to rush thousands of miles away, but I was eaten and closed without even seeing the face of my family, why is this happening? !
Huiya shook her head, her heart became more and more entangled, and after returning to Yefu, she lay down on the bed, not wanting to speak and only crying silently. By the time it was time to eat dinner, her eyes were already red and swollen like peaches, which scared Mrs. Lian enough, and asked her what was wrong, and called all the people she brought with her to interrogate one by one, but there was nothing to gain.
Huiya knew that her appearance frightened Mrs. Lian, so she hurriedly packed up her mood and pretended that nothing had happened. Huiya has the experience of her previous life, although she pretends to be like her face, but people who really care about her can still see her unhappiness, especially from time to time in a daze, and from time to time with a bitter expression, which makes Mrs. Lian's heart like a knife.
"Huiya, let's go out for a walk today, how about going to the silver building to make some good jewelry?" Mrs. Lian looked very depressed when she saw Hui Ya, so she was ready to take her out for a walk. (To be continued.) )
