Chapter 122: Planning
"Auntie hasn't eaten yet, has she?" Lu Shuyi folded her hands and asked Mama Chen, who was serving Aunt An.
Mama Chen bowed and said, "I haven't used it yet." ”
Lu Shuyi nodded with satisfaction.
The white-skinned porridge in the sweet white porcelain bowl is extremely soft and glutinous, and the chopped russet mountain cloth is faint in it, and the porridge bowl is still steaming.
Lu Shuyi sat up straight, facing Aunt An and smiling: "This white-skinned porridge is the most stomach-warming, so let's eat a bowl while it's hot." ”
Aunt An coughed, staring at the bowl in Mo Ju's hand and hesitated slightly.
The relationship between her and Lu Shuyi is not good enough to eat each other's things.
Looking at the white porridge mixed with a few pieces of black things, the bowl was a little far away, and Aunt An couldn't really see what was inside, so she could only smile lightly and excuse herself: "The third lady is really intimate, but I just used half a cup of white fungus lotus seed porridge......"
"Didn't Mama Chen say that her aunt hadn't eaten yet? Besides, white fungus lotus seed porridge can't withstand hunger. Lu Shuyi glanced at Mo Ju and urged: "Don't hurry up and bring the porridge to your aunt." ”
Mo Ju responded with a smile, and said in front of Aunt An with a bowl of porridge: "Auntie, let's take a bite, this porridge was specially ordered by my young lady to make it in the kitchen, and it took half an hour to boil!" ”
Aunt An pursed her lips, and could only raise her hand to take the bowl: "Since the third lady has a heart, then I will eat a bowl." ”
Lu Shuyi smiled, raised her hand and ordered Mo Ju to set up a kang table, and put the rose cake and fried meat mushroom cake on the table.
"I don't see anything good in the kitchen, these two things taste okay, so my aunt will eat some white porridge." Lu Shuyi smiled lightly. I can't see the slightest hatred for Aunt An.
Aunt An took a spoon and took a small sip of the white-skinned porridge, and the black thing in the porridge seemed to taste like a mountain mushroom.
The wind swept over the fried meat and mushroom cakes on the plate on the kang table. The meat in the patty was chopped into pieces and fried in oil again. The oil was so good that she couldn't tell what kind of meat was in it.
It can't be donkey meat, right?
Aunt An's thought flashed, the mountain and donkey meat are not edible, and the Wu family only became distressed after eating the mountain and donkey meat. Lu Shuyi, this girl, doesn't want to draw a gourd in the same way, and she wants to use this method to take revenge on her, right?
Aunt An was full of thoughts, and only picked up the rose cake and carefully ate half of it.
Lu Shuyi saw it in her eyes, she smiled and said, "Why doesn't my aunt eat meat cakes?" She hooked the corners of her lips and smiled: "The meat in the meatloaf is not donkey meat, but minced pork, auntie can eat it with confidence." ”
After hearing this, Aunt An took a mouthful of hot porridge in her mouth, and her throat was tightly blocked. It took a long time to swallow the porridge.
It turned out that Lu Shuyi was waiting for her here......
What a deep thought.
I did so much just to scare her and see if she dared to eat meatloaf.
This is obviously a good play arranged by Lu Shuyi, the person watching the play is Lu Shuyi, and she is the play for Lu Shuyi to make fun of.
Aunt An's fingers holding the spoon gradually turned white, and her knuckles bulged upward, which showed how tightly she pinched and how deep she hated.
The corners of Lu Shuyi's lips raised slightly. A hint of happiness flashed in her heart, she sat up straight and smiled: "Recently, the rules of the seventh sister have been much better, but I see that none of the maids around the seventh sister are competent, and they are clumsy and clumsy." I don't know how to persuade my master, I'm thinking about asking my mother to pick a few new capable people for my seventh sister! Does my aunt have a favorite candidate? ”
Aunt An's face was gloomy, and she held back the anger in her heart. After a long silence, he said, "Mrs. can arrange it as she likes." ”
Lu Shuyi smiled and said, "That's good, I'm still afraid that your aunt will be unhappy!" ”
Aunt An didn't say anything. He lowered his eyebrows and put down the bowl in his hand.
She never dreamed that she wanted to raise a crooked and murderous child. Now it's so much better.
Not to mention that things are not leaky, it is this calm and calm temperament that makes people feel scared.
Is this still the Lu Shuyi she knows? It's clearly a human spirit.
Aunt An pinched her fingers, raised her eyes to look at Lu Shuyi, her expression regained her previous calmness, and said lightly: "What am I unhappy about?" Those maids who are not able to serve their masters should have been replaced. ”
said so, but in his heart he hated Lu Shuyi very much.
The people around Lu Shufang were all picked out by her one by one, and she was very relieved, if the Wu family was replaced, would the new maid still listen to Lu Shufang obediently?
Lu Shufang is a cannon again, and there are few people around to mention it, so she may cause trouble at some point.
If a concubine causes trouble, she will inevitably be disliked when she discusses marriage in the future.
The more Aunt An thought about it, the more angry she became, and her hand shrunk in the brocade quilt trembled.
Lu Shuyi smiled indifferently, and said to Aunt An: "Since my aunt has no opinion, then I will go and tell my mother later, and let her find a few competent people to serve the seventh sister......"
Aunt An tried her best to hold back her anger, clasped her palms with her fingers, and said with a forced smile: "Then please ask the third lady to treat me and thank you, Mrs." He lowered his eyebrows and coughed and said, "Then I won't send the third lady." ”
Lu Shuyi raised her lips and smiled, got up and said in a dashing manner: "Then the aunt is so resting, seventh sister and seventh brother, I will take good care of my aunt, aunt can rest assured." After speaking, without a trace of hesitation, Shi Shiran lifted the curtain and left.
Aunt An's motherly ribs hurt, and there seemed to be a knife stuck in her heart, and it was uncomfortable to tear and crack.
If she is humiliated, should her children be humiliated as well? What kind of thing is she, Lu Shuyi? It's just that there is such a soft persimmon mother as Wu......
grabbed the small porcelain plate with the meat patty on the kang table, waved his hand and smashed it on the ground with all his might, and the qi blocked in his heart was released.
Mama Chen hurriedly ran over and shook Aunt An's hand and persuaded: "You better bear with it, Da Zhengyue, if you let the old lady know that you smashed things and got angry, you should be unhappy." He turned his head and said to the eldest girl who was waiting on the side: "Auntie broke the plate by mistake, let's clean it up quickly." ”
Aunt An only felt that the blood was surging up all over her body, and she squeezed her hands and said hatefully: "It's too much to deceive people." It's too much to deceive people......"
Mama Chen whispered: "It's useless to say these words, you better plan earlier." ”
Aunt An pursed her lips tightly. What can you do now?
An Zhijin lost in officialdom, and the An family is now living a little better. But compared to the Lu family, it is insignificant at all, how can she plan?
Especially the second master Lu, she couldn't stay ill for so long, he didn't even come to see her once, and he felt cold just thinking about it.
Even if she is not in a thousand ways, she has given birth to two children for him after all, how can he be so ruthless and refuse to give even a greeting?
Aunt An's eyes were full of despair. looked at Mama Chen and said, "Right now, it's not good for me, I want to turn over...... Difficult...... It's hard to ......."
She used two words "difficult" in a row, which shows the despair in her heart at this moment.
Mama Chen has always listened to Aunt An's dispatch, this time she was rare and calm, and said unhurriedly: "Auntie, don't think so pessimistic, as the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the mountain road is blocked." Isn't there still a waterway? Can't you pass by rowing a boat......"
Waterway?
Aunt An's eyes turned, rubbing the ink pillow on her side back and forth with one hand, and muttered: "Tell me, what other waterways are there?" ”
Mama Chen sat on the edge of the kang with one leg. lowered his voice and said, "Isn't there still our seventh miss?" If our seventh lady can set a good family business early, and my uncle's family is a very powerful family, are you afraid that no one will support you? ”
Aunt Ann was taken aback. Immediately raised his eyebrows and glared at Mama Chen angrily: "Nonsense, Fang'er is just ten years old." Who do I want her to marry when I am a ten-year-old? The wind swept past Mama Chen's body, and she said sharply: "Don't say such things in front of me in the future." Otherwise, Hugh blames me for turning my face. ”
Mama Chen's old face was extremely ugly, but she still whispered: "Why are you angry? Isn't the slave also for you and your sister and brother...... she said carefully: "The slave and maid are talking about marriage, and they didn't say about marrying." Besides, what do you do so much for? Isn't it also for the seventh miss to have a good home in the future, and the seventh young master can have a good future? ”
Aunt An didn't speak after hearing this.
Seeing this, Mama Chen boldly continued: "Our young lady is young, even if she is engaged to the head of the man's family, it will be impossible to marry immediately, and she must wait for two or three years to marry ......."
Aunt An's eyes sank and asked, "What about the candidate?" ”
Mama Chen stretched her neck, put it next to Aunt An's ear and whispered, "Don't you know the candidates?" She whispered: "The He family is the clan of the Empress Dowager He, even the old lady has to please them, if the seventh lady can really enter the door of the He family, are you still worried that our seventh young master will have no backer in the future?" ”
Aunt An's eyes froze, she looked at Mama Chen for a long time, and said quietly: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run, you let me think about it." ”
Mama Chen is right, the He family is indeed the best choice.
Although the world now belongs to the Liu family, most of the real power is in the hands of the Empress Dowager He, and the He family said a word in the court, which is also very important.
If she can really climb the family business of the He family, don't say that Lu Wenru has a backer in the future, and even her brother An Zhijin can have any family support in his future career, and his progress is just around the corner.
Mama Chen said again: "You should know better than anyone else in your heart, expecting our master to give you a head, it will be like throwing a stone in a deep well, you think about it, I'm afraid it's not easy." Don't you often say that it is better to ask for others than for yourself? It's better to make a decision sooner rather than later...... If you make a decision late, maybe you won't even be able to marry Miss Seven......"
Mama Chen's words were like an empowerment, which made Aunt An sober up.
That's right, Mama Chen is right, some things are indeed sooner rather than later. At first, she also thought about Lu Shufang's future destination and the He family, but she repeatedly dragged it out, wanting to wait for Lu Shufang to be older.
However, as things stand, the matter must not be delayed any longer, and planning must begin.
Thinking about this, she immediately asked Mama Chen, "When will the He family come?" (To be continued......)
