Chapter 256: Preparation (4)
After taking a nap, Chu Weilin asked Liuyu to summon Shui Fu.
Shui Fu only thought that Chu Weilin had something to tell her, so she hurried over, and after saluting, she saw that Liuyu had avoided the middle room, and she was a little confused for a while.
Chu Weilin wanted to ask about the affairs of her daughter's family, where would there be a lot of fanfare, so she naturally wanted to be more low-key, she let Shui Fu sit on the side of the pestle, and said, "I want to ask you about Huanyi." ”
Shui Fu was stunned and unconsciously bit her lower lip.
Chu Weilin looked at her and guessed that she should know something, so she asked, "Who is the clothes that Wan Yi is sewing?" ”
"This ......" Mizuki hesitated, not knowing what to say.
She knows about her own old man's mother, anyway, everyone in this house knows, she doesn't have to hide and pinch it to confess to Chu Weilin, but it's different with Huanyi, first, it's not good to talk around, and second, Shui Fu is not Huanyi herself.
Chu Weilin saw her hesitation, and explained: "These days, I just want to let the few of you have a good home, but this is a lifelong thing, and I am always afraid that if I don't handle it well, I will harm you." If she has someone she likes, it's better for me to help each other look at each other than for me to find someone to come and beat the mandarin duck. I didn't ask Huanyi first, I was afraid that I would be wrong, but it made her stumble. ”
When Shui Fu heard this, his heart warmed.
Her family is a child, she grew up in the house when she was a child, and she has heard a lot and seen a lot of the endings of the decent big girls in the past, some masters married out with a wave of their hands, and some became aunts like red notes, but they did not die well. Chu Weilin is so grateful to be able to think about them like this, and to be a maid.
Shui Fu said softly: "Grandma, that dress is Master Liang's." ”
Master Liang?
Who is this?
Seeing Chu Weilin's frown, Shui Fu explained: "It was our master who was invited by our master when he was in Mingzhou, and he came with him when he returned to Beijing, and he lived in the front yard. In September, on the day of the fifth master's rest, he discussed with the lord and the lord in the front yard, and there was a strong wind in the evening, and you were afraid that the lord would catch a cold. Tell the slave and maid to bring the cloak over. The slave and maid couldn't pull away that day. Wan Yi helped run away, and happened to meet Master Liang there. ”
When Shui Fu said this, Chu Weilin also had some impressions.
It was a sunny day, but the wind suddenly picked up just before sunset. She instructed the water to deliver the clothes.
"The aftermath of the matter. The slave maid also listened to what Wan Yi said. I don't know if it's accurate. Wan Yi met Master Dao Liang in the study, she didn't recognize it, bowed her head and walked away. Master Liang stopped her and took the initiative to tell her identity. Later, when Wan Yi walked around, she met a few times, and she became more familiar, seeing that Master Liang's cuff line was knotted, she kindly asked, and Master Liang said, saying that his parents are in Mingzhou, and the cost in the capital is greater than that of Mingzhou, he doesn't dare to spend money indiscriminately, he wants to keep it and send it back, he can't sew it himself, and he is worried. ”
"So Wan Yi agreed to help him sew up?" Chu Weilin's eyes widened.
Mizumi pursed her lips and nodded.
"Confused!" Chu Weilin muttered in a low voice, Huanyi usually looks capable and sensible, why did she suddenly make a mistake?
The cost of the capital is large, but as a master, he has a lot of monthly income, and his food and accommodation are in the house, even if he goes out to socialize with Chang Hengmiao, it is not his silver that is spent, even if he wants to send it back to Mingzhou, he will not be so embarrassed that he can't even take out so much silver.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, there is really no money, isn't there a little bit of favor?
Chang Hengmiao has been back in Beijing for three or four months, Master Liang lives in the front yard, and he will definitely know a lot of little servants who do things in the front yard. No matter how bad it is, take out a few copper coins and ask your mothers to help you sew a few stitches.
Now in the hands of Huanyi, what kind of truth is this!
Seeing that Chu Weilin was a little unhappy on her face, Shui Wei said in a low voice: "The slave maid has never seen that Master Liang, but Wan Yi suddenly has an extra folding fan, and the slave and maid guessed that it was not sent by Master Liang." The slave maid thought, isn't he short of money, how can he still have money to buy folding fans. ”
Isn't that the reason?
Chu Weilin shook her head and said: "Since you also think that Master Liang is unreliable, it is better to persuade Huanyi first, and then I will inquire about the origin of Master Liang, if it is really not a good thing, don't let Huanyi suffer." ”
Shui Fu nodded again and again, turned around and went out.
Fang's mother came over with Brother Lin in her arms, and Chu Weilin played with her son for a while, glancing out the window from time to time.
Bao Hibiscus smiled and joked to her: "Grandma, is this waiting for grandpa to come back?" ”
Chu Weilin glanced at her, couldn't hold back, and smiled.
Chang Yuyun returned a little later than usual, and after changing his clothes, he sat in the east room to talk to Chu Weilin.
Brother Lin was hungry and pouted to feed, Fang's mother hurriedly hugged him out, Chu Weilin motioned to Bao Jin to guard the middle room, and quietly asked about Master Liang.
Chang Yuyun was surprised: "Why did you mention him in a good manner?" ”
Chu Weilin didn't hide it from him, and said the matter of Huanyi, and Chang Yuyun frowned when he heard it.
"I remember, it seems that someone said that Master Liang was married." Chang Yuyun said.
Chu Weilin's eyes tightened, and he pouted: "The one he married stayed in Mingzhou?" Want to cheat another one in Beijing? There are no doors. ”
Chang Yuyun smiled: "It's your maid after all, if you don't nod, what can he do?" ”
"That's not what I said, I'm afraid he's an old fox, and Huanyi will suffer, and when he suffers, I'll stop it again, what's the use." Chu Weilin sighed.
Chang Yuyun held Chu Weilin's hand, gently rubbed his thumb against her palm, and smiled without speaking.
His wife is genuinely considerate of the people around her, and he has always known it.
The hard life in her previous life made her grateful and close to the people who had really treated her, just like Chu Weiwan, Chu Weijing and Ye Yushu, she always hoped that they would be happy and smooth, and would try her best to do something for them, and because of this, Chu Weilin refused to treat these maids who had served her with heart in this life.
"Don't worry, I'll go and inquire about Master Liang's situation." Chang Yuyun said slowly.
Chu Weilin nodded. A lot of peace of mind.
After two days, Chu Weilin had a general understanding of Master Liang's situation.
Master Liang did become a relative when he was in Mingzhou, and he also had a daughter, his daughter-in-law was his family's child daughter-in-law, and Master Liang's parents liked him very much, and he had a good relationship with Master Liang.
Chu Weilin listened to it in her ears, and her heart was very unsettled, although she knew that three wives and four concubines were the norm for most men in this world, but she still couldn't accept it, especially. What does Wan Yiruo have with Master Liang. It's to be a small life.
Wan Yi was a little angry, and it was impossible to agree to be small, probably to keep Master Liang in the dark.
Then again, Chu Weilin inquired. That Master Liang looks average. There's some ink in my stomach. But it's not enough to fall in love at first sight.
Anyway, Chu Weilin looked left and right, and felt that Master Liang was not as good as Chang Yuyun, and Wan Yi didn't have the slightest thought about Chang Yuyun, so how could she be so confused that Master Liang was confused.
Shui Fu secretly persuaded Huanyi a few times. Wan Yi was stunned but didn't listen.
Chu Weilin simply asked Wan Yi personally.
Wan Yi's face turned red, and she twisted and said: "Grandma, the slave maid sees that he has some knowledge, and he also has filial piety in his family, and thinks that people should be good...... The others didn't think much about it. ”
was really deceived, Chu Weilin sighed: "I'll be honest with you, I asked my grandfather, that Master Liang has a wife and daughter in Jiangnan, and his wife is very popular with her in-laws." Master Liang, did he tell you? ”
Wan Yi's eyes widened and she shook her head in disbelief: "The slave never knew. ”
"I'm guessing you don't know either." Chu Weilin patted Huanyi, she had such a reaction, it can be seen that it has not reached the point of no cure, "You can go and inquire with the mother-in-law who came back from Mingzhou with your wife, what they said in their mouths will not be wrong." If you think it's hard for a girl to speak, I'll ask Li De'an's family to ask. ”
Wan Yi lowered her head, thought about it carefully, and said: "The slave knows that grandma is for the good of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will go and ask carefully, if it is really that person who deceived the slave and maid, the slave and the maid will not pay attention to him again." ”
"If you can get your idea, go ahead, if he is pestering, you can just come to me." Chu Weilin said.
Wan Yi thanked her head and went back to the house, sitting stunned.
Shui Fu came in and closed the door, saw her distracted, and persuaded: "I'm not the only one who can't trust him......"
Hearing this, Wan Yi raised her head and said quietly: "I'm alone, but I'm actually quite envious of people who have fathers and brothers." I know that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the more people there are, the more things to do, but occasionally I still think about how good it would be if my father and mother were here. He came to the capital alone, and he always remembered to send money to his parents in Mingzhou, so I thought, I want to have a place where I can bring money back......"
The more she talked, the more sad she became, and she hid her face and cried.
Shui Fu sat down with her, but she didn't know how to persuade her.
said that her family was good, and when she said it from her mouth, she didn't even believe herself, but if she wanted to say that her family was not good, it would be better to be alone, which would make her even more sad.
Wan Yi cried for a cup of tea, slowly quieted down, and said in a dumb voice: "Grandma said that I only knew that there are not only his parents in Mingzhou, but also his wife and daughter...... It's better to be a sister-in-law! ”
Shui Fu stood up and said angrily: "He actually has a wife and children? This big liar, if I meet her, I will clean him up! ”
Crying out, Wan Yi's mood was a little more relaxed, and she talked to Shui Fu for a while, and said: "I will go to Qinglan Garden to ask my mothers in the next few days, and when I question him face to face in a few days, I can also say that he is ugly, so that he will not be blocked." ”
Shui Fu said again and again: "Reasonable, reasonable, we will not go to the front yard these days, but Laba will definitely meet that day, you should ask him when the time comes, if he is a liar, throw back these things he gave him, I think he is a kind of person, these things will not be bought, maybe who gave them away, he gave them to you." ”
Before the maids' affairs were dealt with, Chu Weilin became busy.
In late November, it was the time for the various Zhuangzi shops to enter Beijing to offer their accounts.
A few years ago, the account books were collected in the Da Zhao family, and the Liu family and Chu Lunxin said that they were starting to do it, but in fact they didn't have anything, so this year, before the shopkeepers entered the house, several wives wanted to carefully take a look at the accounts, and they had to know it when they took over.
Tu Shi was tired for the past few days, so he asked Chu Weilin to go with him, and he could also be a helper.
Although the Great Zhao family was gone, the long house was a long house after all, and they couldn't get past them, so they let the Lu family come.
Lu Shi put on a thick cloak and came in with a hand stove.
It was obviously not cold outside, but Lu Shi had already wrapped himself tightly, and when he took off the cloak, he revealed his emaciated face with a pointed chin.
Chu Weilin watched the Lu family lose weight day by day, and her body formed a sick and weak sister Lin, as if the wind was blowing.
Chu Lunxin and Chu Weilin exchanged a look, they both knew that this was a heart disease, and the Lu family was tortured by the sullen breath in their hearts day by day.
On the other hand, Liu's how she should be or how she should have minimized the impact of the previous incident.
Chu Weilin invited the Lu family to sit down, glanced at her hands with obvious green muscles, and secretly thought that the Lu family and Chang Yuye and his wife were not people with a good heart, and if they went on like this, they didn't want the Liu family to do anything, they couldn't hold on to it by themselves. When the four rooms are separated in the future, and the long house goes up and down, God knows what will become of it.
A few people gathered together to look through it.
Da Zhao is not a careless person, and the people under him are also trembling, so they are afraid that there will be a mistake and the Da Zhao family will be punished, so there is no problem with this account book on the surface, but in fact, everyone can't figure him out for a while.
Entering the house to serve the account has to be busy all the way to Laba, except for a few old shopkeepers who have served the ancestors to kowtow in the Songling Courtyard, the rest are a few wives and masters to collect the accounts.
Chu Weilin didn't have to be idle, she was busy with the Tu family, Chu Weilin knew that the Tu family wanted a good image now, and she didn't want to ask the ancestors to pick thorns, and the second room on the bright side must be harmonious and cordial, and the Tu family pulled her in everything and played a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a harmonious relationship, even if Chang Yuyun didn't like Tu anymore, he had to take care of this face.
In the wax moon, most of the people who came to serve the tent were shops on the outskirts of Beijing.
Chu Weilin glanced at the dresser, and when she heard the deed of land given to her by the old lady, she took it in, and now nominally, the Zhuangzi has become Chu Weilin's thing, and she can give it to Liuyu in the future.
The shopkeeper Hu and his family were going to come to serve the account, Chu Weilin thought about it and went to Yiyuxuan to find Chu Lunxin.
Chu Lunxin listened to Chu Weilin's words, and couldn't help but sigh: "The eldest aunt treats Liuyu with real care. ”
"The son of the Hu family, the eldest uncle's mother has seen herself, it shouldn't be bad, my uncle and aunt will accompany me to take a closer look, let Liuyu also take a sneak look, if it is suitable, it will be decided, if it is not suitable, I will also return to the eldest uncle and grandmother." Chu Weilin said.
Chu Lunxin was willing to help with this, and said, "When the Hu family comes, you can send someone to tell me, and I will definitely come over." (To be continued......)
