Chapter Twenty-Four: Aunt Zhou's Pond Fish Disaster

Stacked Cui Courtyard has always been very quiet at this time, there is no long eyes to come and go, Yutan enjoys a rare day of leisure, casually pick up a book of poetry to see, Cui Mo also steal a bath, as the chief maid, Cui Mo is busier than the young lady, have to comb a little girl, and called a little maid to help grate the hair, the freshly washed black hair is black and shiny, pull the bun, bring a silver hairpin, take a picture of the diamond mirror, see that there is nothing wrong, about to go to the Miss where to serve.

A little maid who was doing rough work outside called Xiaohong ran in, "Sister Cuimo, I heard that the old lady lost her temper over there, and sent that Mama Liu away." ”

Cui Mo suddenly came to his senses, "When did this happen?" I was in a trance and listened to the old woman being sent to Zhuangzi to retire. ”

Xiaohong's eyes lit up, "Sister Cuimo, just now, before there was a tea time, the old lady personally ordered someone to go to the Zhuangzi and beat the twenty boards of Mama Liu, and told the steward that he should be strictly guarded, sister, you said that you are not angry." ”

Cui Mo came to his senses, "Did Mama Liu do anything again, who did you listen to?" ”

Xiaohong looked dazed, "Mei Lan next to the old lady told me, Mama Liu, she has gone to Zhuangzi, what else can she do again?" It's not that the old lady knows that the old woman is not good, so she lets people beat her. ”

The old lady didn't bother to take care of an old lady, Cuimo guessed that there was something she didn't know here, she told Xiaohong, "You are not allowed to go outside to shout about these things, and we are not allowed to spread the word outside in this courtyard, if you let me know that you have a big mouth and a long tongue, see if I don't pull out her tongue." ”

Xiaohong stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Sister Cuimo, you are so ruthless, you just said that you were going to pull out your tongue, which of us would dare to go out and talk nonsense." ”

Cuimo asked Xiaohong to listen attentively, if there was something to tell her, she rewarded her with a plate of fruits to eat, sent Xiaohong away, and hurriedly came to see Miss, and told Miss what she said, Yutan also felt surprised, this Mama Liu sent it out, and what is there to be angry with the old lady.

"I see." Yutan agreed lightly, rubbing his sore neck, "You pinch me, look at those account books are more tiring than embroidery, I haven't done my homework today, I don't want to use needlework at all." ”

Cui Mo kneaded Miss's shoulder, "If you want me to say that Miss has embroidered well enough, now she has embroidered four large pieces like curtains, Miss can rest first." ”

Yutan smiled bitterly, "Where can grandmother see that I'm idle." ”

While the master and servant were talking, Caiyan beside Madame came over, "Miss, Madame asked you to come over, saying that even dinner will be eaten at Madame's side for a while." ”

Yutan knew that her mother had also heard about Mama Liu's beating, which undoubtedly swept Aunt Zhou's face, and it was no wonder that her mother was happy, so she instructed Cui Mo, "Bring the little clothes I embroidered two days ago to show my mother." ”

After Yutan finished speaking, he took the green bamboo and the red line and left first, Cuimo packed up the embroidery of Yutan, dotted out a package, let the little maid take it, and told the little maid who was watching the house in the house not to be lazy, take care of the thrush, don't let the little civet cat scratch it, and then go to the main room.

Don't inquire about the things in the house, Cui Mo knows these rules, she lowered her eyelids and pretended not to see it, and walked forward with her head down, as soon as she arrived at Madame's side, she saw that the small corner door of the west courtyard behind her was opened, Aunt Zhou came out with two little maids, the slender waist was already bloated, Invite Yue carefully supported, Cui Mo hurriedly avoided the side, Aunt Zhou saw her, glared fiercely, Cui Mo's heart jumped, she never offended her, and she saw Aunt Zhou go to Shi Yuxuan with her head held high.

Cui Mo didn't bother to pay attention to these idle things, and when she entered the door of the main room, Cai Die came out and smiled quietly, "Why did you delay for so long, Madame still wants to see Miss's needlework." ”

Cui Mo smiled, "Doesn't the family have to be instructed again, right?" Those little maids, when no one is watching, they are lazy, they only know how to play blindly, and there are few who have a plan in their hearts. ”

Caidie pulled her to sit in the next room and poured her tea, "Madame and Miss are talking in the house, it's cheap for the two of us to be here." While looking at the small clothes embroidered by Miss, I couldn't help but say, "Miss has embroidered so much, the stitches are getting better and better, and you can't see it if you don't look carefully." ”

The two of them talked about some needlework, and whispered about Mama Liu, and Cuimo said, "I saw Xiaofuzi go out of the second door just now, and I don't know what happened." ”

Caidie smiled, "I don't know which one ran to intercede." ”

"I just ran into it on the road and glared at me, and I'm still hairy in my heart."

The two bit their ears and whispered and laughed, and suddenly there was a heart-rending scream, which was not a good movement, but it scared the two of them a lot, and they hurriedly came out, and saw the little maid in the yard probing out their brains, and saw Caidie coming out, and a little maid ran over and said, "It's Aunt Zhou's call, in the Hou Ye's study, I don't know what's going on, do you want to go out and see?" ”

"Look at what you see, when you are bad, what to do and then do it." After saying the little girl, Caidie really heard a series of suppressed howls and cries, as well as Li Mingwei's loud roaring voice, how did Aunt Zhou offend Master Hou? He glanced at Cui Mo, and saw that the door of the inner room opened, and Yutan came out with a curtain, "What's going on outside?" ”

Caidie hurriedly greeted her and said, and after a while, the little girl ran back, "Aunt Zhou's half of her face was swollen, and she covered her face with her hands and cried all the way back, she seemed to be unable to walk, and she was crying there holding the old locust tree." ”

Qi pondered for a while and asked Aunt Zhou's maids to take her back quickly, and the west cross courtyard was busy for a while, and finally helped Aunt Zhou back, and a painful cry came out, like a cuckoo crying blood, which made people break their intestines.

Li Ming came to the main room with a snort, Qi hurriedly stood up to meet him, Li Hou Ye supported Qi and complained, "Didn't you say that you don't want to get up?" I don't know how to maintain it. ”

Qi asked tentatively, "Master Hou, did Sister Zhou make you angry?" At this time, you can bear a little bit of what is wrong. ”

Li Mingwei said ruthlessly, "Madam, you don't know, there are some things I can't handle." He shouted outside again, "Sue sΓΉ that the courtyard is not allowed to make a sound, and dare to threaten me with the little cub in her belly, I can't beat her to death." ”

Aunt Zhou stopped crying when she got the message, but one or two painful muffled voices came out, and invited Yue to come over and cry, "Oh no, our aunt and grandmother fainted, and there was a lot of blood." ”

The Qi family was about to pass the imperial doctor to show her, Li Mingwei valued the heir, and finally nodded and agreed, so after a lot of chaos, the bright lights in the West Cross Courtyard tossed for a night, and Aunt Zhou finally struggled to give birth to a little brother in the middle of the night, and then fainted.
