Chapter 28: The Generation Gap
"Auntie, auntie, don't cry." Xiu'er said helplessly to Aunt Rong, who was leaning on the head of the bed and crying silently.
Aunt Rong's eyes were full of tears, and she shook her head silently with a pouting face.
Xiu'er blamed herself more and more, she knelt down and grabbed Aunt Rong's hand and said, "It's the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid will never talk nonsense again." ”
Aunt Rong hurriedly turned her face and wanted to help Xiu'er up, "What are you doing?" Get up. ”
Xiu'er stubbornly knelt, "It's the slave who did something wrong, so my aunt will punish the slave." ”
Aunt Rong's tears fell even more fiercely, "Where are you wrong, it's my life." ”
"Auntie is talking nonsense." Xiu'er also red-eyed, and said indignantly, "It's obvious that the fourth lady is self-willed and unruly to let the maid go to the outer courtyard, but now the maid is gone, and the slave maid is just talking, she looks at the slave maid like that, and even suspects the aunt." As she spoke, she looked at Aunt Rong expectantly and said, "Auntie, you can't end up with such hard work, why don't you leave this mess alone, let them go, we will live behind closed doors in this courtyard!" ”
Aunt Rong was stunned, and Nuo Nuo said, "But the old man is ......"
"Hmph, you have to wait for the master to know how good your aunt is, and turn around and beg your aunt to be in charge, so that you can let go."
"Ghost girl." Aunt Rong laughed out loud, pulled Xiu'er up and said, "Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, just don't cry." She patted her side, "Sit down and talk." ”
Xiu'er nodded and sat up next to Aunt Rong.
Aunt Rong patted Xiu'er's hand and persuaded softly, "The fourth miss is naturally more sensitive than others when she lost her mother at a young age, and I am the master's concubine, and the fourth miss looks down on me, you must remember to respect the fourth miss in the future, she is the master, and I can only be regarded as half a master." ”
Hearing this, Xiu'er pursed her mouth, looking unconvinced.
Aunt Rong rarely lowered her face and admonished, "If you do this again, I will ask your brother and sister-in-law to take you back." ”
"Okay, okay." Xiu'er responded helplessly, "Auntie, you are too weak, the fourth lady has never been polite to you since she was sensible, but you are also a serious aunt in the second room, and you are her mother-in-law." ”
"You girl, go get me a bowl of noodles, I'm so hungry." Aunt Rong smiled helplessly, knowing that Xiu'er couldn't think about it for a while, so she had to break away from the other party.
Xiu'er responded crisply and walked out.
And when Xiu'er's back disappeared outside the door, Aunt Rong stared at the end of the bed, and her face became gloomy.
……
Lin Yuan didn't wait for Xiangyue's news, but waited for the old lady and her party.
"What's going on? Where did Xiangyue's girl go? The old lady asked loudly as soon as she entered the courtyard door.
Lin Yuan stood up and saluted, "Old lady, father." She didn't expect the old lady to come too.
The old lady raised her eyelids and glanced at Lin Yuan, and went into the room to sit down by herself.
Lin Guangcheng followed, passed by Lin Yuan, and whispered, "Don't talk back to the old lady." ”
"What the hell is going on? Make the chickens fly and the dogs jump! The old lady took the fragrant lotus and poured the tea, took a sip, and asked again.
Lin Yuan was irritable in her heart, lowered her head and replied, "I asked them to find Xiangyue in Tianjiao Courtyard, disturbing the old lady's tranquility, it was my fault." "Actually, what she wants to say is, what do I have to do with you when I'm looking for someone in my yard?
The old lady didn't know if she didn't hear Lin Yuan's words, so she only snorted coldly, "Then let the next person find it, why don't you come to Ci'an Courtyard to eat?" Even the three girls came over with Xin'er. ”
Lin Yuan's heart became more and more irritable, the old lady had to toss her to do under the idea of the old aunt and grandmother? Could it be that she went to accompany the guest, and the old lady's plan was thus completed?
"I'm anxious for Xiangyue, I'm afraid that I will lose my temper in front of my aunt and grandmother." She replied calmly.
This reason is enough to shut the old lady's mouth.
But the old lady's face sank, "I think you are a ghost, just a maid, what are you anxious about?" Don't be afraid to call your aunt and grandmother to see jokes! When she thought of the old aunt and grandmother who smiled and said, "It seems that the fourth girl is the master and the girl are like sisters", she felt unhappy for a while.
The next person is the next person, how can you be like a sister with the master?!
Isn't Baozhu just laughing at the Lin Mansion she manages, where the master and servant are not distinguished from each other?
Lin Yuan's forehead jumped, "Grandmother is an elder, so naturally she won't look at my jokes as a junior." "And you, a grandmother, have come to embarrass your granddaughter!
The old lady put the tea bowl on the table fiercely, and with a bang, the tea splashed, and she said sharply, "It's just a subordinate, you actually neglect the elders for this, and even don't know how to repent at this time!" I think you're really deluded by ghosts! She coughed violently.
Mama Li rarely didn't speak, only patted the old lady's back and said goodbye.
Lin Guangcheng hurriedly said apologetically, "Mother, don't be angry, it's the son who is not good, Yuanyuan, quickly apologize to your grandmother." ”
Lin Yuan tried to exhale, "Yes, it's my fault to make the old lady angry." ”
"Listen to you, what is this?" The old lady didn't buy it at all, pointed at Lin Yuan and said angrily at Lin Guangcheng, "Look at your good daughter!" This is your precious daughter, regardless of dignity and inferiority, against the elders, just like your good daughter-in-law! ”
Lin Guangcheng's face changed, the corners of his lips twitched twice, and he never said anything to the old lady, only turned his head to look at Lin Yuan and persuaded, "Yuanyuan, it's just a maid, admit your mistake to your grandmother." ”
In an instant, Lin Yuan looked at Lin Guangcheng in disbelief, but she couldn't see the fraud in Lin Guangcheng's eyes at all, and she only had the distress of Second Mrs. Lin being slandered by the old lady, the anxiety of her being scolded by the old lady, and the incomprehension of what she was doing at the moment. At this moment, she seemed to understand something, she seemed to be able to understand why Lin Guangcheng knew that Second Mrs. Lin was dead strangely, and this could not be separated from the Zhu family, but she kept it a secret, and she could also understand why the old lady was so angry today.
In their eyes, the death of Second Mrs. Lin was not as important as the reputation of the Lin Mansion, and the safety of Xiangyue was not as important as accompanying the elders to lunch.
Lin Yuan was a little frustrated, she thought she already knew the key to surviving in this era, but found that all she had learned was a little bit.
She is a little lost, this era is not as beautiful as she imagined.
"Old lady, I was wrong, I was just a subordinate, I shouldn't snub my elders for this, I will definitely learn to respect the master and servant in the future." Lin Yuan lowered her head and replied.
Lin Guangcheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief.
The old lady's face improved slightly, but her tone was still not good, "You can't be absent from dinner, and you should call everyone back, don't make any more trouble, it's just a little girl, if you lose it, you will lose it." ”
"Yes." Lin Yuan replied.
After the old lady and Lin Guangcheng left, Xianghe knelt in front of Lin Yuan with teary eyes, "Miss, the slave knows your predicament, but please let the slave and maid go to Xiangyue, and the slave and maid must quietly not let people find out." ”
Lin Yuan bowed her head, but stepped forward to help Xianghe and cut the railway, "Find, look for it, as long as it is me in this small courtyard, I have to find it." ”
