Chapter Seventy-Two: Greetings
At the end of September, the Huangfu clan took Mu Yu and Mu Qing and others back to the house.
When Shen Qingli learned the news, he specially made some mung bean cakes that Huangfu loved to eat and went to say hello, but was told that Mrs. Tai had a cold a few days ago and had not yet recovered, so she didn't like to be disturbed.
Another five or six days passed.
In the evening, Mama Chu from Muyingtang took a string of Buddhist beads to Qingxin Garden, and smiled respectfully: "Second young lady, Mrs. Tai asked the slave maid to give the Buddha beads to the second young lady, and the second young lady must hang it in the bedroom." Then, he whispered, "The slave and maid heard that it is very spiritual." ”
"Please thank my grandmother for me, Grandmother Lao bothered." Shen Qingli heard that it was a Buddha bead for a child, so he took it a little embarrassed, and sure enough, each bead was engraved with a grinning little doll, which was very realistic and festive.
"If you want to thank the second young lady, go over and thank you yourself! Mrs. Tai has been well in the past two days, and yesterday she was still talking about the second young lady! Mama Chu looked at her with a smile in her eyes and said, "Mrs. Tai has always gone to bed early and got up early, and the second young lady just passed in the middle of the morning, there were few people at that time, and it was quiet!" ”
"Well, then I'll go and say hello to my grandmother tomorrow." Shen Qingli understood.
After Mama Chu left, she carefully looked at the bumpy little doll above, and a trace of warmth suddenly rose in her heart, yes! In the future, she will also have such a little doll, who will cry, laugh and be coquettish......
Just think about it, and it feels cute!
Thinking of the child, he couldn't help but think of Mu Yunting, his face was slightly hot, he and her child ......
Although Mu Yunting has been going out early and returning late these days, he often doesn't see anyone, but if he has time, he will occasionally come over to sit down.
Although they never stayed overnight, at least every time they met, they would chat a little bit.
I can't say I like him, but I don't hate it.
She was happy with the current situation of the two.
Living in the same yard, she chats a few words when she meets, and when she doesn't meet, she will also help him tidy up the study and tidy up the wardrobe for him.
And he was very appreciative, and announced in front of everyone that the dog's name would be Pete from now on, and that Pete was better than Bagu.
For this reason, the subordinates of Qingxinyuan laughed privately for several days.
It is said that the son of the world has a tendency to be afraid of the inside!
Early the next morning, Shen Qingli got up early and went into the kitchen and stewed a bowl of honey pear soup for the Huangfu family.
Tao Zhi was playing on the side, and saw Shen Qingli carefully put the stewed pear soup into the food box, and quipped: "Young lady, you are going to rob Uncle Shen He's rice bowl, you don't know, Uncle Shen He also pulled the slave and maid for a long time yesterday, saying that the prince has been eating less and less recently, and he doesn't know what to cook, and asked the slave to ask the young lady what the prince likes to eat!" ”
"How do I know what he likes to eat?" Shen Qingli smiled, put the lid of the food box away, and said disapprerovingly, "Eating less means that he is not hungry, starving him for three days and three nights, see if he eats or not." ”
That person has a heavy taste, and even eats live snake gall, probably the ordinary delicacies have long been tired, and he is really sad to cook to death.
"Hehe, this method is good, but Uncle Shen He doesn't dare!" Momozhi pursed her lips and smiled.
The two of them walked out of Qingxin Garden with a smile and walked towards Muying Hall.
From Qingxin Garden to Muyingtang, you have to pass by a bamboo forest.
The young man in the moon-white shirt danced with his sword in the open space by the bamboo forest, his body was dashing and his posture was elegant, although the sword shadow was Huohuo, but there was no trace of murderous aura.
"Second sister-in-law." Mu Yunchao saw the two of them from a distance, wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped forward, smiled, and said, "I got up so early, are you going to say hello to my grandmother?" ”
"Fourth Young Master." Momozhi hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Mu Yunchao nodded at her, which was a response.
"I heard that my grandmother has been getting better these days, so let's go and take a look." Shen Qingli smiled at him, seeing that his clothes were soaked, and the thin placket was clinging to his body, he said, "I won't bother the fourth brother, I will leave first!" ”
"Didn't the second sister-in-law go to my aunt's place to say hello recently?" Mu Yunchao suddenly asked, "Auntie's side, it's been a lot of guests lately!" ”
"I went there once the day before yesterday, but I didn't see any guests." Shen Qingli looked at him confused, could it be that there was something going on over there in Yiqing Garden?
"Oh, I heard that my aunt has been in close contact with the ladies of the Guogong Mansion recently, and I thought you could meet that Aunt Wang there!" Mu Yunchao saw that she was a little puzzled, so he smiled, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the house has been too quiet recently, I'm afraid that some people can't hold their breath and want to remind the second sister-in-law." ”
"Thank you, fourth brother, for reminding me." Shen Qingli became more and more confused the more he listened, and it was inconvenient to ask in detail.
When I arrived at Muying Hall, I saw Mu Yu combing Huangfu's hair with a smile.
The grandparents laughed from time to time.
Thinking of Mu Yunting's words a few days ago, Shen Qingli looked at Mu Yu with some envy, no matter what, this eldest sister-in-law also has a younger brother who sincerely plans for her future.
And what about her!
Except for a few maids around me, my mother's family has not yet shown up!
The people who come and go are all in-laws, who knows what they have in mind......
If you don't stumble on yourself, you're a good person!
After Shen Qingli stepped forward to greet him, he sat down silently, and after Mu Yu finished combing his hair, he stepped forward to serve Huangfu and washed his hands, before he stepped forward to open the food box and said: "I heard that grandmother has a cold these days, and my granddaughter-in-law stewed a bowl of honey and pear soup, and grandmother tasted it." ”
"Li girl has a heart." Huangfu said with a smile in his eyes, "After drinking the pear soup boiled by my granddaughter-in-law, there is no bad reason for this disease." ”
Mu Yu also had a smile on her face, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother is so partial, I also said a few days ago that I would make pear soup for you, but grandmother said no, and said that it would be good to drink a few pairs of Chinese medicine, and now, as soon as the granddaughter-in-law came, she immediately changed her rhetoric!" ”
"What's wrong with this, the daughter is always someone else's family, and the daughter-in-law is her own." Huangfu clapped her hand and sighed, "Yu Niang, you can't stay by my side all the time!" ”
"Grandmother, I will accompany my grandmother all my life!" Mu Yu said seriously.
"You kid, such a big person still says such things, and you are not afraid of your brother and daughter-in-law's jokes." The Huangfu clan said angrily.
Shen Qingli was inconvenient to interject, so he just brought the pear soup to the Huangfu clan.
Huangfu picked up the spoon, took a sip of pear soup, nodded and said, "As soon as you taste it, you know that this pear soup is simmered slowly over low heat, and Li Yatou is really attentive." ”
"That's what a granddaughter-in-law should do." Shen Qingli said with a light smile.
"Brother and sister, I heard that you were robbed by King Jin a few days ago?" Mu Yu suddenly asked, "He didn't do anything to you, did he?" ”
"Nope." Shen Qingli said embarrassedly.
That's too straightforward, isn't it?
"Then why did I hear that Erlang beat King Jin hard for you!" Mu Yu glanced her up and down.
It turned out that on that day, he really had a fight with King Jin.
Shen Qingli suddenly thought of Mu Yunting's torn cuffs, and couldn't help but feel a little mixed in his heart.
"Li girl, this is also what I want to ask you, these days, your father-in-law is hiding from me, and Erlang is also hiding from me, if I hadn't listened to those rumors, I wouldn't have known about it!" Huangfu sighed, "I told you when I left, if there is anything, just go to Lingxiao Temple to find me, but you!" This is to treat me as an outsider! ”
"Grandmother, don't get me wrong, my granddaughter-in-law just doesn't want you to worry, and she doesn't mean to hide it from you." Shen Qingli told the ins and outs of the matter.
"In this way, that King of Jin should really be beaten." Mu Yu said coldly, "Why didn't Erlang kill him with one punch, if he was killed, he would be relieved." ”
"Nonsense, how can King Jin be beaten when we say we will fight?" Huangfu looked at Shen Qingli and sighed, "It's best if you're fine, the most important thing for us women is to be famous!" It's just that people's words are terrifying, and the outside world doesn't know what to say about this matter! ”
At this time, the Su family and the Liu family walked in one after another, followed by the ladies in the house, and the room suddenly became crowded.
The smell of various fats mixed together quickly spread throughout the room.
Huangfu couldn't help but sneeze.
"Mother, if you don't feel well, lie down for a while." Su Shi hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arm and asked with concern.
Liu also echoed and said: "What the mother wants to eat, just open her mouth, and the daughter-in-law will order someone to do it at any time." ”
"It's all right, you all sit down!" Huangfu sat on the big kang by the window with a solemn face, and his eyes gently swept over the two concubines.
Su and Liu sat down.
After the ladies came forward to see the ceremony, they sat down one after another.
"Erlang's daughter-in-law came early." Su Shi looked at her with a smile.
"Mother." Shen Qingli smiled faintly and blessed her, looked at the Liu family again, and shouted softly, "Second aunt." ”
Both of them nodded, which was considered a return gift.
"Second sister-in-law." The sisters-in-law also shouted in unison.
Shen Qingli returned the salute one by one.
"Okay, family, don't be so polite." Huangfu glanced at everyone, and said, "Why don't you see Dalang's daughter-in-law?" ”
Only then did Shen Qingli realize that the Xia clan did not come.
No wonder it's so quiet in the house.
"When the in-laws heard that their mother was back, they said they wanted to come and see it, and the eldest daughter-in-law said that they would come together when they came." Su Shi said, hurriedly got up and curtled at the Huangfu clan and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law made a big mistake a few days ago, and I asked my mother to punish her." ”
"What's wrong?" Huangfu slowly finished the pear soup in the bowl, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
Peony hurriedly took a bowl of water, and when Huangfu rinsed his mouth, Su said with guilt on his face what happened on the day Shen Qingli went to Zhuangzi, and said: "It's all because the daughter-in-law is unladylike that she caused such a big disaster, and she punished her mother." ”
"Did you find the groom?" Huangfu looked at her thoughtfully.
"No, if something like this happens, you must have absconded in fear of crime." Su Shi looked at Shen Qingli and said, "That day, after Erlang's daughter-in-law came back, she didn't say anything, and the daughter-in-law and the master didn't know about it at the time. ”
As he was talking, Xia led two graceful and luxuriously dressed women to walk in, and one of the women smiled and said, "My in-laws have always been cautious and thoughtful, and there is nothing I can't forgive myself." ”R1152
