Chapter Seventy-Three: Asking for Demands
Although Qinglan is cowardly and submissive, as the saying goes, "people's hearts are not enough for snakes to swallow elephants", and this greed cannot be contained. At the beginning, the Qin family asked the matchmaker to say to her family that he wanted to accept her as a concubine for Lin Jinlou, but her father was very hesitant to refuse, but after she secretly saw Lin Jinlou behind the screen, she fell in love at first sight, only to feel that it is difficult to find this talented fairy man in the world, if she is with Lin Jinlou, even if she is a concubine for the rest of her life, she is willing.
Earlier, she lived in the capital, Lin Jinlou doted on her, and the house was full of people, and she called her "grandma", but she hid the word "aunt", and she felt that she was no different from the main room. But back in Jinling, the first thing is to kowtow to the main room for tea, and live in the landlord's room, although the food and clothing are not bad, but the style and the grandmother of the main house can not be compared. When the Lin Mansion opens a family banquet, her concubine will not be able to attend the banquet! Last time, Lin Jinlou planned to rest in the East Chamber, but as soon as Zhao Yuechan came, she smashed the cup and injured the maid in her room, Lin Jinlou did not reprimand, but went back to the main room with Zhao Yuechan to rest.
A few days ago, she instructed her subordinates to run a poetry club, she should have been in the limelight and show her face, who would have thought that his wife would split her head and cover her face and count her beyond her identity, and called her "good life to serve the uncle and big * milk"!
She just discovered that no matter how Zhao Yuechan didn't please Lin Jinlou, how she was cold by her husband, but the identity of the main room was in front of her, everyone had to bow down and call her "big * milk", something ugly happened, and the whole family had to try their best to cover it up; No matter how much she is pampered by Lin Jinlou, she is a concubine after all, and she is a woman who can only live in peace by pleasing her masters. In time, Lin Jinlou has a new favorite, what will happen to her? And now seeing that Lin Jinlou's affection for her has faded, she is still young and beautiful, but when she is pregnant, Lin Jinlou looks at the maid in her room.
The pretty pandan, the elegant pandan, the pandan who is even more beautiful than her......
As for her, will she be like the one sung in the play, "The red face is not old and the grace is broken first......
Qinglan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her nails digging deep into the flesh of her palm.
If this account book is handed over to Lin Jinlou by hand, then the Lin family's eldest * grandmother is only one step away from her, even if there is a glimmer of hope, she always has to give it a try. Thinking of this, she lifted the bed board and hid the account book in the mezzanine between the bed frames.
As soon as the mattress was smoothed, a lightning bolt crossed the sky, followed by a thunderbolt, which made Qinglan jump up. After all, she is not a brave and resolute person, her heart is wavering, worried and afraid, and she wants to find someone to discuss. Wu's mother felt the cold, and she was afraid that she would be sick, so she went home to recuperate, and the remaining few maids and daughters-in-law were either ignorant or stupid. She stood up and sat down again, and her heart was tormented.
Inside the main room of Chiharu Hall.
Zhao Yuechan "snapped", scraped Yingshuang's big ear scraper, and scolded: "Useless obscene things!" Let you go to Ermen and wait for my cousin's servant to get the account books back, what did you get back? You're an old man, and now you can't even do this idea, what's the use of keeping you! As he spoke, he smashed the Buddhist scriptures on Yingshuang's face.
Yingshuang knelt on the ground, covered her face, and said with tears in her eyes: "Big * milk is angry, I bumped into Chunling and Xianglan in the garden, I must have taken the wrong book in a hurry, I was closest to Chunling, and this account book should be at Aunt Lan in Dongxiang." ”
Zhao Yuechan became more and more angry, rushed forward and hit him a few times: "The thunder cleaved your brain, or the little ghost ate your soul!" Do this faint thing! It's not good to fall into anyone's hands, but it fell into the hands of that little slut, she handed over the account book to his wife and uncle, let's not find a rope together and hang it clean! ”
Yingshuang cried and kowtowed: "Grandma, I was wrong, spare me!" ”
Zhao Yuechan was so angry that she trembled, shocked and afraid: "Spare you? How can I spare you? I'm going to find a white silk, strangle you first, and then hang yourself on the beams of the house! ”
Yingshuang hugged Zhao Yuechan's leg and cried: "How did it come to this?" Fang just ran out of account books, this should still be in the East Chamber, it's better to let Yindie steal it......"
Zhao Yuechan said: "Don't mention that useless little hoof, Dongxiang has long been guarding against her." ”
Yingshuang wiped her tears and said, "Then I'll go to the East Chamber." ”
Zhao Yuechan took a sip and said, "Stupid, that little slut didn't notice that he was wrong, maybe he could exchange it for you." If you have found out that it is a terrible thing, how can you give it to you! ”
Yingshuang said: "I said a long time ago, the money in the seal can no longer be released, the big * grandmother listened to the coaxing of the young master, and still took the money out to lend money. If I touch the melon along the vine and find out that the young master has an affair with the eldest * grandmother, I might as well kill him immediately. "I cried harder and harder.
Zhao Yuechan kicked Yingshuang and scolded: "Cry! Just know to cry! Shut up! Yingshuang immediately stopped her voice and forced herself to sob. Zhao Yuechan thought for a while, exhaled deeply and said, "Come on, I'm going to the East Chamber." ”
At that moment, Zhao Yuechan brought the maid Bailu and brought her skirt to the East Chamber. Yindie was taking a big pottery urn under the corridor to catch the rainwater, and when she saw Zhao Yuechan coming, she was taken aback, and shouted while opening the curtain: "Big * milk is here!" ”
Zhao Yuechan was so confused that she didn't care about looking at the little girl next to her, and went straight into the house. Chunling was guarding the door of Qinglan's bedroom to do needlework, and when she saw that Zhao Yuechan was violent, she couldn't stop her at all, so she had to pull her neck and shout: "Big * milk is here!" Xianglan was making shoes in the house, wondering in her heart, for some reason Zhao Yuechan came to the East Chamber, looked out, and saw Zhao Yuechan going to the bedroom aggressively, so she quickly retracted her neck.
Qinglan was wandering around the room, and when she heard Zhao Yuechan coming, she became more and more panicked, she didn't know whether to sit down or stand, her mind was messy and blank, and she couldn't think of the slightest way to deal with it. In a panic, Zhao Yuechan had already opened the curtain and walked in, looking at each other, Zhao Yuechan seemed to smile and said, "What is Sister Qinglan busy with?" ”
Qing Lan smiled unnaturally on her face, and said, "No, it's nothing, just sit idle." "I was so panicked that I forgot to let my seat watch the tea.
Zhao Yuechan is a smart person, she understood when she saw Qinglan's description, but she calmed down, picked a chair and sat down, raised her eyebrows and said: "I also have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, the girl next to me is clumsy, and I took the wrong book with my sister's girl in the garden." He glanced at Bai Lu and handed the Buddhist scriptures to Qinglan. smiled: "Sister, look, is this your thing?" ”
Qinglan lowered her head and took the booklet, the indigo blue cover, inside was the "Diamond Sutra" copied with a dignified pen, which was the one that Xianglan lent herself. Qing Lan's heart jumped suddenly, and she quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Yuechan.
Zhao Yuechan was sitting opposite her and looking at her with a smile, although she was smiling, her eyes were like two swords that attacked people, cold and cold, making her shiver all over.
Zhao Yuechan said: "This is your thing, right?" ”
Qinglan reluctantly smiled and said: "I'm tired of my grandmother sending it, this is the Buddhist scripture I lost......" said and walked to the shelf, took down a few brochures and flipped through them, didn't dare to look at Zhao Yuechan, and said: "Strange, I don't have the brochure that my grandmother lost here." ”
"Oh?" Zhao Yuechan raised her eyebrows slightly, walked over and took the notebook in Qinglan's hand and flipped it over, and said with a smile: "That's really strange." ”
Qinglan whispered: "Xu is grandma's girl who forgot things somewhere else." ”
Zhao Yuechan sneered: "Did you forget it somewhere else, or did you hide it?" ”
Qinglan was startled, shrunk her neck, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma said she laughed...... I...... I ......"
Zhao Yuechan said softly again: "What is the name of 'grandma', you and I live together and serve the uncle together, just call me 'sister'." There are also a few people in the original uncle's room, all of them are foxy, bending their hearts and eyes to let the uncle learn badly, I am infatuated, afraid that the uncle will damage his body, and those girls who have a room don't dare to be too restrained, only advise him to maintain his self-respect, who knows that he will make the uncle unhappy. In addition, I am a bit stricter in my housekeepers on weekdays, and some subordinates follow the root of their tongues, and gossip behind their backs, which does not spread my reputation well, I don't dare to cry out for injustice, I just blindly endure it. Later, it wasn't until there was a fatality that the uncle found out that those fox spirits were unconscious and sent them out. He understood that I was good for him, but he was awkward in his heart, so he treated me lightly. My sister is a smart person, although I am sometimes coarse and fail to take good care of my sister, but it can be seen that I have something to embarrass you? ”
Qinglan didn't turn a corner for a while, so she had to follow the conversation and say: "Grandma is a reasonable person and has never embarrassed me. ”
Zhao Yuechan smiled: "That's it." In fact, my sister came in and was pregnant with my uncle's flesh and blood, and I was as happy as something. God mercy, I will have more arms in the future. We sisters rejoice together, aren't we better than our own flesh and blood? ”
Qinglan said: "I just ask grandma to cherish me, I am willing to serve grandma for the rest of my life." "Say goodbye and worship.
Zhao Yuechan hurriedly held Qinglan's arm and said, "I know that you are not a traitor...... Don't hide it from my sister.,My booklet is an important thing.,Sister look for it again.,If you find it, return it to me.。 ”
Qing Lan quietly stroked her stomach with her left hand, and said ruthlessly: "I really don't have grandma's things here." ”
The smile on Zhao Yuechan's face froze, and she hated in her heart: "It seems that she has an iron mouth and steel teeth, and she doesn't recognize her life or death." I hate that she has a wife and the child in her belly to support her, otherwise I would have burned this place and cleaned it up! I couldn't find the book, and the few debts I had just released were gone, and I lost seven or eight thousand taels of silver in vain. It's still a trivial matter if the silver is gone, if the uncle really knows...... "I felt abrupt in my heart, and then I looked at Qinglan's eyes and was extremely resentful.
There was rolling thunder in the sky, and there was silence in the room. Bai Lu whispered: "Big * milk, it's about to rain, do you need me to take an umbrella?" ”
Zhao Yuechan said coldly: "No need, let's go." Turning around and going out, Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed behind.
Walking out of the door and standing on the steps under the porch, Zhao Yuechan turned her head and stared at Qinglan fiercely, her heart was angry, and she said secretly: "Slut! If you want to calculate me, I won't let you have a good time! He exhaled a breath and commanded left and right: "You guys step back, I still have something to say to Aunt Lan alone." ”
Heavy rain was pouring down. RS
