Chapter Seventy-Seven: It is suspected that the old man has returned
"Grandmother! What my aunt said just now...... But really? Liu Yufei still couldn't believe what he heard, blinked his sour eyes, and smiled reluctantly, "Jiangnan Xiao family? Isn't it...... Xiao Zihuan's son? ”
The dream she had in Linshan County finally became a reality......
"So you know Yufei?" The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face became brighter and brighter, originally she just thought that the Xiao family kid had a very good family background, and he was also gentle and polite, but he was more handsome than a woman, and even his age was younger than Liu Yufei, so she was still a little dissatisfied with the Xiao family kid, who thought that the two of them had known each other for a long time!
Liu Yufei had to smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "Yufei went to Beijing this time, and he was escorted by Xiao Gongzi, and he also met bandits on the way, and Xiao Gongzi solved it himself." ”
Old Madam Zhang smiled meaningfully, pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled, "It turns out that the benefactor is Xiao Gongzi!" Before, I was worried that the two of you were blind and dumb marriages, but now it seems that I am too careful......"
Zhang Xiaoxi sat down, lowered her head and said nothing, but pinched a silk scarf with both hands, tears fell down one by one, and the silk scarf was wet all of a sudden.
"Grandmother, are you in a hurry about this? Xiao Gongzi's parents are not in Jingshi, and the marriage is a big event, how can he say anything? ! Liu Yufei spoke quickly and eagerly, seeing that he was too excited, he sighed lightly and said slowly, "Yufei doesn't have any opinions about Xiao Gongzi, it's just that this matter is too urgent?" ”
"Urgent? There's no rush at all! Old Madam Zhang was a little displeased, frowned and said, "Yufei, if the Zhao family hadn't withdrawn from the marriage, you should have married this year, seventeen years old...... It's not too small! ”
Liu Yufei was about to say something, but when he heard this, he couldn't help choking in his throat, so he could only bow his head tamely and respond, "Yes...... Everything is at your grandmother's command. ”
No matter how much her grandmother and grandfather loved her before, but once she lost her contribution and value to the family, the weak family affection was no longer worth anything, so when she was divorced and became a shame and joke for the family, even her maternal grandparents who had always been pitiful to her were no exception, which ...... It's their sorrow as women!
And here in Shufu, Lin Mei is learning to deal with various matters under Mrs. Shu's iron and blood, and she realized that it is not easy to manage a house! From the food and clothing of the masters, to the distribution of people's monthly money every month, even the silver used in the kitchen every day has to be carefully calculated, which makes Lin Mei, who is illiterate, cry bitterly, and sigh that this housekeeper's thing is really not done by people......
Lin Mei followed Mrs. Shu to learn how to take care of the house every day, and worked hard to learn literacy at night, and asked Qingying if she didn't know, so that she learned new things upside down every day.
"Madam, this is Miss Lin's account yesterday." Mama An held a new account book in her hand and respectfully handed it to Mrs. Shu.
Mrs. Shu stretched out her hand to take it, but she didn't look at it carefully, just gently put the account book on the small table on the side, and said lightly with a lazy expression, "What do you see?" ”
"This ...... The old slave did not dare to make a judgment. Mama An pondered her words and replied cautiously.
"What a 'dare not judge'!" Mrs. Shu gently hooked the corners of her mouth, and her smile was gorgeous, "Wang Jin said that she wanted to marry her, and she will be the housewife of the Shu family in the future, so you are afraid?" Don't even dare to tell the truth? ”
"Madam, that's not what the old slave meant......," Mama An hurriedly wanted to justify, until she saw that the smile on the corner of Mrs. Shu's mouth was getting deeper and deeper, and then she let go of her heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a bitter face, "Madam, you are joking with the old slave again......"
Mrs. Shu picked up a brocade to cover her lips and laughed presumptuously, the glory between her eyebrows and eyes was shining, even if more than 20 years have passed, the years still can't hide the natural nobility on her body.
"When I first came to Shufu, I really didn't value him much, what if I had a beautiful appearance, I didn't know etiquette, I didn't know how to read big characters, and I couldn't even do small things like treating people and things, at that time, I really had the idea to let her disappear in the capital, so as not to harm my family Wangjin!" When Mrs. Shu said this, she sighed softly, "Who knows...... Wang Jin actually saw my thoughts, for the first time, so righteous words...... Oh, that's the way it looks, but it's really grown up. ”
"Madame......" Mama An thought that Mrs. Shu was very displeased with Lin Mei, but the more she talked, the happier she became.
"I don't look down on people, but my son is bent on protecting, how can I not be angry? But...... Wang Jin was grounded by Qingtong for a few days, she was quite interesting, in the middle of the night, she took Shu Zhouqingying to catch crickets, heh, do you really think that I and the master don't know what happened in the house? Dare to deliver food? Wang Jin never eats hairy crabs, so she must have solved all those dishes by herself? ”
Mrs. Shu sneered a few times, the expression on her face began to slowly soften, and her voice softened a lot, "As Wang Jin said, Miss Lin's quality is indeed something that other young ladies don't have...... Moreover, it is indeed smart and clever, no matter what it is, it is clear at all, if it is not for Wang Jin himself, even if it is me, I don't believe that it is just a woman from a small county town......"
"That shows that the eldest young master has a vision, so he can pick such a good ......" Mama An was busy patting her ass, boasting that Shu Wangjin had a good vision.
"Now that I think about it, Miss Lin is very much like an old friend...... "Mrs. Shu frowned slightly, as if she was puzzled, and muttered to herself, "That's not right...... That lady should have died of illness eighteen years ago, not to mention, there are so many similar people in the world, maybe I think too much......"
"What did Madame say?" Mama An also remembered something, and then was shocked, "That lady's affairs are taboo in the court, madam, the old slave thinks, it's better to talk about it less......"
Mrs. Shu snorted lightly, as if she didn't care much about Mama An's words, and said lazily, "The imperial cousin himself is not valued by beautiful people, do you want to blame me?" Even if he is rejected, he is not allowed to talk about it in the court, doesn't he know that the more he promulgates this kind of vexatious decree, the more people can't forget Zhao Wanrong's matter? ”
"Madam, Your Majesty is responsible precisely because of the depth of love...... Mama An sighed softly, and also felt a little sorry for Zhao Wanrong's fate, "Miss Zhao is a good daughter, just because she is valued by Your Majesty, even if she is married, she still can't escape the tragic death......
[PS] Friends, the identity of the heroine has finally begun to officially start the plot...... Anyway, I'm going to be grinded to death......
