Chapter 141: Preparation
Sister-in-law Niu was stunned, the corners of her mouth were twitching, as if she wanted to speak, but she didn't spit out half a word after all, she only gathered her mind and hurriedly followed. As soon as he got closer, the Lin family, who was walking in front, stopped, turned his head to look at her, frowned and asked, "The person you sent went to report to him?" ”
Her tone was stiff, her words were displeased, and the sister-in-law Niu could hear it no matter how dull she was, so she lowered her head and lowered her body to apologize: "The slave knows her mistakes." ”
The master was unhappy when she did what she did on her own initiative, and she had no way to refute it, so she could only admit it.
"Why don't you even start listening to me?" Lin was annoyed and reprimanded.
Sister-in-law Niu lowered her head, staring only at the upper of her shoes with a pair of eyes, and didn't dare to move.
After a long time, Lin finally reprimanded, "I'll talk about it later", and strode forward with his sleeves brushed up. She walked so fast, her steps so hurried, her body staggered slightly in the morning light. As soon as Sister-in-law Niu raised her head, she saw this scene, and immediately wanted to step forward to help, but after thinking about it, she dropped the hand that had been raised and hung it down at her side.
The master and servant went one after the other, and went to the West Cross Courtyard where Yingge's mother and son were forbidden.
When I brought people in quietly yesterday, although I avoided everyone's eyes and ears, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and this can't be hidden for long.
Fortunately, although Sister-in-law Niu was worried all night, she finally found that the Lin family did not mean to make a big deal about it, although the fault was that even the fourth master really cared about it, is there no Lin family's fault in this matter? If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't tolerate people, Yingge wouldn't have disappeared from Lian's mansion back then, if Yingge hadn't gone out of this door. None of that will happen after that.
Even if the people of the world despise the actions of the fourth master, they will not understand the Lin family's approach.
The trouble started, and Lin's face was completely lost.
But who knows, this time it was the Lin family who intended to make a big fuss, and they couldn't make a fuss.
When they entered the West Cross Courtyard, they called a mother-in-law to block the way. The Lin family was naturally very angry, and scolded the past with a cold face, but the mother-in-law who was in the way smiled and only said that this was ordered by the fourth master, and asked the wife to go back first. Even if she has the audacity, she doesn't dare to let it go.
Lin was so angry that his hands trembled. If it weren't for the last trace of face, the same mother-in-law would lose his identity, but he was afraid that he would have raised his hand and hit him immediately.
She endured and endured, taking a few deep breaths. Exit the West Cross Hospital. Then he instructed Sister-in-law Niu: "Go to the study!" ”
"Ma'am—" Sister-in-law Niu was worried.
Lin's eyebrows were heavy. His face was very ugly, and he almost crumpled the handkerchief in his hand: "I want to ask him if I am a wife." Or that woman is! ”
It's not even a concubine, why does he protect it?
Her eyes were red with anger, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and walked all the way. Sister-in-law Niu followed closely behind her, opening her mouth to remind her that the fourth master might just want to protect Yingge's girl this time! No matter what, the child born to Yingge has always been the flesh and blood of the fourth master, and he naturally won't take it to heart. But she also knew very well that when she said this, not only did the Lin family not listen to it, but she was afraid that she would have to reprimand her two sentences angrily, what kind of flesh and blood are the wild seeds born of cheap maids.
The outer room is in her heart, and she can't even compare to a puppy.
As soon as these words come out, it is not a good word, so it is better not to say it.
Sister-in-law Niu reluctantly swallowed her words.
A bloody storm seems to be imminent.
However, Ruosheng, who single-handedly planned this matter, was in Mingyue Hall, eating with his father.
Even the second master couldn't see Mrs. Yun Zhen yesterday, and he chatted all night, and wanted to go to Qianzhong Garden in the morning, but he was told that Mrs. Yun Zhen had gone out, so he had to come back in a huff. As soon as he entered the door, he happened to bump into Ruosheng talking to the Zhu family, he immediately stepped forward, and Baba asked, "Did you see Sister A yesterday?" ”
Ruosheng smiled and nodded: "I met in the evening." ”
Even the second master beat his chest and paused: "You don't know how to call me!" ”
"It's late at night, what to do when you are called, there is nothing important left and right, and it is the same when you turn around and see your aunt."
"How is this the same! Look at you, you call me, it's my business to go or not, but if you don't call me, it's your disobedience to me! Can this be the same thing? ”
"You're a ...... of fallacy"
"Isn't it reasonable? This also has a rational word! Second Master Lian said confidently.
Ruosheng had no choice, so he had to relent: "Daddy, I was wrong." ”
Second Master Lian was satisfied, then stood up, took two steps forward, and called someone to ask, "Are the dumplings cooked?" ”
He shouted loudly, startled by the voice, Ruosheng couldn't help but blurt out, "Eat dumplings early in the morning?" ”
If you haven't celebrated the New Year's holiday, what kind of dumplings to eat in a good way, you don't want to do this in Beijing.
Second Master Lian turned his head and glanced at her: "Mutton and green onion stuffing!" ”
He just wanted to eat it, but no one had a problem, so he could only follow his words to knead the dough, roll the skin, chop the stuffing, and wrap it.
Ruosheng was dumbfounded and turned his face to look at Zhu, but Zhu only smiled helplessly.
Not long after, Mama Jin personally walked in with a food box outside. Before he put it down, the second master of Lian posted it first, and asked with a shy face: "Can I eat it all, Mama?" ”
"......" Mama Jin was startled, "You can't eat these dumplings!" ”
Second Master Lian pouted: "I'm sure I can eat it." He grabbed the chopsticks, sat down, stared at Mama Jin on the plate, and beckoned Ruosheng and Zhu to come and eat dumplings without looking back.
On a hot day, the dumplings stuffed with mutton, Ruosheng didn't dare to eat more, but after tasting a bite, it was very fragrant, and a bite full of oil was fragrant.
It's just that Zhu didn't have much appetite before, and he also used several of them.
Mama Jin was also happy to see it, and she was waiting by the side in person.
The sky was bright outside, and the house was also a splendid scene.
After a while, Second Master Lian finally remembered and asked Ruosheng: "You got up so early today, but you have to go out to play again?" ”
Ruosheng put aside his chopsticks and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief: "I'm going to my grandfather's house." ”
Lian Erye bit the food, slurred his speech, and said vaguely: "The last time you came back, didn't you say that you won't go again?" ”
That was what the eldest lady of the Duan family said when she held the Spring Banquet, and since then, Ruosheng has indeed never set foot in the territory of the Duan family. Even the second master remembered it clearly, and suddenly remembered what Ruosheng met in the begonia forest when he went back, and he couldn't even swallow the dumplings at the moment, so he grabbed the chopsticks and said urgently: "You still don't want to go." ”
Ruosheng understood that he was worried about the last time, and sighed secretly.
The Duan family's place, where is she really willing to go. But she learned from her aunt that her third cousin had been given marriage to His Royal Highness the Prince. In this way, the third cousin born by her eldest uncle will become the future crown princess, and she will enter the East Palace in the spring of the next year, and now she is no longer an identity that anyone can see if they want to.
Not to mention, others want to see her outside the Duan family.
But if you still have the name of a cousin, you can be much better than those irrelevant others.
She shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Daddy, I'm just going to see my grandmother, and I'll go back when I go." ”
Lian Erye frowned and muttered, "Just an old woman, if there is anything to see, don't see it!" ”
Mama Jin immediately coughed twice on the side.
Lian Erye closed his mouth tightly, couldn't sit still, endured the moment and said again: "She's not an old woman, am I an old woman?" ”
Ruosheng couldn't help but laugh: "She is, she is, how can you be." After that, she comforted him with a good voice, and persuaded him to let him go. Lian Erye raised his chopsticks and put one dumpling after another into her bowl, and said, "Eat more, otherwise the old woman will pretend to say that you have lost weight!" ”
Mama Kim coughed again.
He turned his head and blinked, "Mama, do you have an itchy throat?" ”
Mama Jin couldn't help but laugh.
……
At about three o'clock in the morning, Ruosheng went out with Hu Qiuniang and grapes. If a person brings less, when he comes to her grandmother, Mrs. Duan, she will definitely be pulled by her and taught earnestly for most of the day. But it stands to reason that she should have brought green plantains, not grapes. But when Lujiao heard that he was going to Yongding Bo's Mansion, his face suddenly turned white.
Hu Qiuniang will mention yì and bring grapes.
Although Hu Qiuniang didn't see it with her own eyes, she had heard about it, and knew that the green banana had also been bumped into, and now she still has palpitations, which is also a common thing.
Not everyone can be like their girls, and they don't show anything on their faces.
So when it came time to go out, the candidate who accompanied Ruosheng to go out together became Grape and her.
Along the way, if they didn't speak, they were silent.
The sound of the horse's hooves echoed in his ears, and finally turned into a "whoosh" from the coachman, and the horse stopped with a snort.
If the carriage was born, the Duan family was stunned when they saw it, they had not sent anyone to pass the message before, but the person who came was Miss Lian's cousin, so naturally they should not be taken lightly, and one of the guards immediately turned around and reported the news inside. The other person greeted Ruosheng and walked inside.
Not long after leaving, the person who had gone to report the news before turned around and came back, accompanied by the eldest maid who was waiting beside Ruosheng's grandmother, and when she saw her, she smiled and saluted: "The old lady was still thinking about you, I never thought that you were coming, and now I am happy." ”
Ruosheng also smiled, looked affectionate, and followed her to the front to see her grandmother.
The old woman, who was dressed in a dignified and delicate manner, leaned on the couch with Buddhist beads, and when she saw her, she raised her hand and beckoned her to come to her side: "You girl, I am here when I am thinking of you!" ”
Ruosheng called "grandmother", accompanied her to gossip a few words, and then turned the conversation to business.
When Old Madam Duan heard that she was going to see her third cousin, she was stunned.
Ruosheng and the girl of Yongdingbo are actually not close, and the elders also know it.
"Grandmother, I haven't seen my third cousin for many days, I miss her a lot, so you can let me see her......" Ruosheng hugged the old woman's arm, half coquettishly. (To be continued......)
