Chapter 92: Dark Tide
"It's been raining for days, it's really annoying!" The old lady in the Lin Mansion leaned against the window and complained boredly.
The room was damp and stuffy, Mama Li was fanning on the side, and said with a smiling face, "Old lady, the old slave is going to get some incense to dispel dampness?" ”
The old lady bowed, but her brows were even tighter.
"Old lady, this incense smells pretty good, I heard the third lady say that the young master specially bought it to honor you." Mama Li said with incense.
The old lady stretched her brows at this time, and said with relief, "It really smells good, and it is also You'er's filial piety." ”
"That's not it, young master, but I'm thinking about you all the time, old lady."
The corners of the old lady's mouth rose more and more, obviously proud of the only golden grandson, but the rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and her good mood was really difficult to maintain.
"Yuying, come here." The old lady beckoned, and when Mama Li approached, she lowered her voice and asked, "Is that done?" But don't make a mistake. ”
Mama Li's expression froze, "It's done, the old lady can rest assured." ”
"Amitabha, it's also my wife, I want the house to be safe, so I made this decision." The old lady showed a reassuring smile, then she closed her eyes, folded her hands and muttered to herself, "Buddha Mingjian, the demon is not in the house during this time, the house is safe and the family is harmonious, but as soon as the demon sends a letter to the house, the family will change dramatically, and it is thanks to the blessing of the Buddha that the danger can be turned into a disaster, and now the return of the demon is approaching, the disciple is a mother and grandmother, and he really can't bear to see his descendants tortured by the demon, and I beg the Buddha to forgive." ”
The old lady's voice was very soft, but Mama Li had served her for many years, so she could naturally hear it clearly, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she echoed, "Don't worry, the old lady can rest assured, the Buddha will bless the kind-hearted people and punish those who are evil." ”
The old lady's eyes were dark, and she muttered, "I haven't been to the incense for many days, and when the weather clears, I will go to the Big Buddha Temple. ”
Mama Li nodded hurriedly, "Look at this day, I'm afraid that the plum will come out tomorrow and tomorrow, and the old slave will go to prepare later." ”
It is not a simple matter for the old lady to go to the incense, at least the wives in each room need to be accompanied by no major events. Mama Li naturally got a notice from room to room.
In the third room, as soon as Zhu heard Mama Li talk about it, he smiled and said, "That's good, I haven't been to the incense for many days, when will I leave, please tell Mama Li again." After that, she politely sent Mama Li out of the door.
In order to compete for favor, Lin Yan has always gone to Zhu's house to drill, this will also be there, she pouted and said, "Mother, is it appropriate to go to incense on this rainy day?" Even if the rain stopped, the field would not be dry for a while. ”
Zhu Shi glared at him, "The old lady's decision must be appropriate." Saying that, she waved her hand impatiently, "Let's go back, although Shuyuan's class has stopped, if you have nothing to do, practice more women's red needlework, don't run to me if you have nothing to do." ”
"That's because the mother has a fairy spirit, and the daughter often comes." Lin Yan said coquettishly, but seeing that Zhu's face did not improve, she hurriedly bowed her head quietly and said goodbye.
Turning her back, she secretly rolled her eyes, thinking she hadn't seen it? I don't know who rolled their eyes behind Mama Li's back just now. When I was in a bad mood, I poured my anger on others, and I was still the housekeeper's wife. This belly, hum!
Not to mention how Lin Yan was unconvinced, the Zhu family became more and more uneasy.
She was not in the mood to do anything else, so she directly asked the little maid to call Lin Guangwen over.
As soon as Lin Guangwen entered the house, she hurriedly asked in a whisper, "My mother said that she was going to the Big Buddha Temple for incense, but she knew?" ”
Lin Guangwen was stunned by the question, and then sat down with a hippie smile, "How can it, we only found out by mistake, and now she can worry about the things next to her." ”
Zhu frowned, thought about it with some puzzlement, and said uncertainly, "You mean my mother doesn't know yet?" ”
"I don't know." Lin Guangwen replied categorically, took a sip of tea, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You know, my mother hates the four girls in the second room the most, and the four girls are about to come back, how can my mother still care about other things?" ”
"That's just as well." Zhu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but said with some concern, "It's just that my mother will know about that sooner or later." ”
"If you know, you know, it's not necessarily whether it's a man or a woman." Lin Guangwen sneered, "I can't say that I can't raise it at all." ”
Zhu's expression was solemn, and then he closed his eyes like an old lady, and said with his hands folded, "Amitabha." ”
……
"My father asked you to pick me up." Lin Yuan said to Fang Ping in surprise.
Fang Ping replied with a smile, "Yes, when the master sent the letter to the post station, he let the little one set off." ”
Before the two of them could speak, it began to rain in the sky.
Lin Yuan hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go find a restaurant to sit in, I'm afraid the boat won't leave until the afternoon." ”
Fang Ping should be, but pointed to an inn not far away, "Miss, there are still people sent by the old lady to pick up Miss at the inn, the little one will call someone first?" ”
Lin Yuan furrowed his eyebrows, "Who did the old lady send?" Mama Lee? ”
"No, it's Mrs. Feng, and Mrs. Feng's son."
Lin Yuan's heart jumped, "Is it Mrs. Feng who was originally in the small kitchen of Tianjiao Courtyard?" ”
Fang Ping glanced up at Lin Yuan and nodded, "It's her, she was called back to the house by the old lady a while ago to do things." ”
Lin Yuan only felt an ominous premonition, but she was really upset, this happened before she arrived at the Lin Mansion? The old lady asked Mrs. Feng to come over, did she come to disgust her?
Since Mrs. Feng was in the inn, everyone simply ordered some food at the inn, because of the rain, there were many people hiding from the rain in the inn, and it was very lively. It is estimated that this inn is open next to the pier, and it is also used to people often coming in to rest, and the shopkeeper did not rush people, so he was still polite.
Lin Yuan is not that picky, and casually let the shopkeeper serve some signature dishes. Before the dish was served, he saw Fang Ping leading Mrs. Feng and her son over.
Lin Yuan thought that she would never see Mrs. Feng again, but at first glance, she was a little unrecognizable. Although Mrs. Feng was wearing brand-new clothes, her half-white hair and deep wrinkles looked like the arrogant housekeeper in Tianjiao Courtyard.
"Say hello to Miss Four." Mrs. Feng's voice didn't hear any grudges, proper flattery, neither high nor low voice. Bent over, she pushed her son beside her again, "The dog still doesn't say hello to the fourth lady." ”
The dog hurriedly bowed his hand, and also learned from his mother, smiling and saying hello.
Lin Yuan's face was expressionless, but he was vigilant in his heart, and said coldly, "Get up, it's no better outside than in the house." "I don't mention why Mrs. Feng suddenly returned to the Lin Mansion.
After being kicked out of the house, Mrs. Feng seemed to have more rules, and those who knew and were interested did not come forward, and quietly led the dog to stay aside, as if she was really ordered by the old lady to pick up Lin Yuan.
Because of the rain, and because of the addition of Mrs. Feng's mother and son, everyone didn't have the heart to go shopping, so they returned to the boat after eating.
Lin Yuan was worried that the rain would be too heavy and delayed the trip, so she specially asked the boatman.
The boatman was the boatman who rented the boat when the Lu family took Lin Yuan to Chongqing, and he was an acquaintance.
Seeing Lin Yuan asking, the boatman rubbed his rough hands, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile, "Miss, don't worry, this rain will not be long enough, but for a while, you can set sail when the rain stops, and it will not be delayed." ”
Lin Yuan relieved himself at this time, and gave the boatman some more silver, which was considered the fare of Fang Ping and the three of them.
