Chapter 107: Slipping away

Listening to what Lin Zhu said was that Wang Po sold melons, Dabao sneered even more. Scratching her face with her fingers, she said shamefully: "I am more and more ashamed, and everything has passed." It's nothing more than watching your father's and mother's vegetables in the vegetable garden, which is also called a problem. It's not as much as I've seen with Childe. ”

He knew her too well.

Lin Zhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Da Bao has seen some big things, and what I have encountered is some trivial things." But the trifles are also things. You look at my grandmother Lin Yun Lin Duo and the third aunt, they come to find trouble every day, scolding and scolding, and when they see more, they know a lot of things. ”

"That's pretty much it." Dabao narrowed the mouse's eyes and smiled, he loved to listen to Lin Zhu's words, his voice was crisp and the words were clear and pleasant. didn't think about this or that big or small thing to her, and said with a smile: "Your grandmother scolded you a lot, but you know a lot, should you still thank them." “

Although Dabao is a subordinate, he is a superior subordinate. His father, the iron housekeeper, has been the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion for many years, and he is also a rich man. There is only such a son who is over fifty years old, and he has asked someone to teach him to read and write since he was a child, and when he grows up, he follows Princess Sanssouci to study in the school.

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "That's it, those who were scolded by them have gained knowledge." It seems that what they scolded is also good. ”

The two of them talked and laughed, and when they walked over the garden verandah, they saw a few lakes in the middle of the lake and a few small bridges flowing water. Tree-lined gravel paths lead in all directions, and the secluded and tranquil courtyard is hidden in between. Xinqing gradually relaxed.

As long as you don't run into that crying lady, Miss Earthworm. It's like you're in the park, so you might as well have a good time.

She followed behind Dabao, at this time the sun was setting, and the sunset was shining red on the low-key luxury and connotation of Yanfu, just like a fairyland of Yaochi. 、

Lin Shu couldn't help but secretly speak. The style of Yanfu is a bit similar to that of the capital's Proton Mansion,

From the outside, it looks very inconspicuous, no different from ordinary large households. The inside is really luxurious, there are all kinds of gardens, bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and pavilions, and it looks like there are mountains and forests from a distance, just like the palace seen on TV.

She couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Dabao." The Yan Mansion is really luxurious. It's all comparable to the palace. ”

Dabao snorted again: "Zhu'er, our house is the most simple, where can it be compared with the palace." Of course, I haven't been to the palace, but some time ago I went to Dingyuan with my son. That Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is called magnificent. The palace was simply magnificent, paved with gold and precious stones. In comparison, our house is too shabby. ”

A palace built of gold and precious stones? I guess it's a building out of a fairy tale.

However, the ancients had little knowledge, and perhaps it was made of some glass with unknown money.

She said disapprovingly: "The Golden Jewel Palace is also inhabited by people, but I don't think it's true." It's really nice to live. ”

The two of them talked. He came to the verandah where he saw the silver jade when he came.

Dabao's eyes swept over for the first time, took Lin Zhu's hand and said, "Zhu'er, let's go quickly, that earthworm is here." ”

Lin Zhu also saw Yan Qiuyin standing on the verandah, followed by Yinyu Meiyu.

She didn't mean to be here on guard.

She hurriedly lowered her head and followed Dabao out, walking as far as possible behind the lawn trees beside the path, trying to hide her small body.

I secretly prayed in my heart that I would not bump into the muzzle of her gun.

The two of them slipped through the verandah like thieves, and walked wildly all the way.

As long as she escapes from the range she can pursue, even if she sees it and shouts for her to stop, it doesn't matter, as long as she pretends not to hear.

Yinyu on the verandah looked at the backs of the two of them almost walking with a pair of eyes, and then lowered her eyes, stepped forward in a very nervous tone and said to Yan Qiuyin: "Third Miss, that plant, she, she and Dabao went together, and they all passed the garden behind the eldest lady's embroidery room." ”

Yan Qiuyin, who was in a daze alone, suddenly came back to her senses and looked at the path that led in all directions at the end of the verandah.

The two small figures, a man and a woman, had already walked through the garden, and even if they were growing wings, they could not catch up.

Immediately, his eyes widened, and he glared at Yinyu Meiyu and scolded: "Blind slut, let you keep your eyes open and look at that little slut, what do you see?" ”

Meiyu hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, Yinyu whispered: "Miss, that strain, no, it's a little slut." Like rats, the two slaves and maids kept staring at the end of the verandah, but they didn't know where she had come from to get there. Shall we chase after it. ”

Yinyu's eyes kept rolling as she spoke, she and Meiyu actually saw the Dabaolin strain for the first time, but no one wanted to say it.

The bystanders were clear, and both of them clearly saw the attitude of the carefree son, and felt that the consequences of the young lady's entanglement first were very strict.

The two of them are Yan Qiuyin's personal maids, and they both know that if the young lady can marry the carefree son in the future, the two of them will have the opportunity to stay with the son, and they will have the opportunity to be accepted by the son. Carefree Boy is a fairy-like character, with a good appearance and high status, even if he only is his maid, he is happy.

Naturally, they won't help Yan Qiuyin mess around, and both of them think that the young lady is making trouble for the son everywhere, and she is messing around and not knowing the blessings.

Yan Qiuyin watched Dabao disappear with Lin Zhu, and said angrily: "It's all you two who don't have long eyes, you are blind, and let that little slut go, otherwise Miss Ben will have to teach her a lesson today, so that she knows that she can't swagger in front of her second brother in the future." ”

Meiyu didn't dare to say more, so she just bowed her head and kept silent. Yinyu said: "Miss, why don't we go after her and teach her a little lesson?" ”

Her eyes rolled again as she spoke, in fact, she knew that it was impossible for Yan Qiuyin to go to Lin Zhu, and Yan Mansion had strict rules for the level of young lady. In the past, you couldn't go out of the gate without the old lady's house number, but now the old lady is old and doesn't want to care about these idle things, so she will temporarily hand over the management to Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen has followed General Yan for 20 years, earlier than the mother who has no worries about Yan, and also gave birth to a boy and two girls for the Yan family. Mrs. has been dead for so many years, but she has always been in the position of aunt. The affairs of the family are presided over by the old lady. There are no status privileges, and now I finally have such a right, and I am strictly guarded. Don't talk about Yan Qiuyin, even her own daughter, the eldest lady of Yanfu, can't go out a few times a year.

Of course, no one dared to ask Yan Qiuyin to go out with Carefree Child, but Carefree Boy would not take her out often, and it was even more impossible now.

Yan Qiuyin rolled her eyes and scolded: "What a lesson!" You were blind when it was time to teach, and now you think about it, can you get out? You didn't see Erniang holding chicken feathers as an arrow. As if nothing had been done. All waiting. Wait for Miss, I will one day become the young lady of Yanfu. They must be good-looking. ”

Yinyu hurriedly said: "Miss is right, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. In the future, our young lady will become a young lady, and she will be the head of the Yan Mansion. Whoever makes the young lady unhappy, we will let whoever can't eat and walk around. ”

The silver, jade, and jade were all sent to Yan Qiuyin when she came to Yan Mansion. I followed her for many years. Meiyu is not good at words. He is very assertive and hard-working. Yinyu can speak and understand the Tao, and is very good at observing words and feelings. The two cooperated well, and they also understood Yan Qiuyin's temper. Know how to keep her from being vexatious.

Sure enough, Yan Qiuyin's gloomy face softened slightly, and said, "You still have a little knowledge." Let go of that little slut today, Yinyu, you go back with me, Meiyu stays here and watches, if you see the second brother coming, come back quickly and report the news. ”

Meiyu agreed, standing on the edge of the verandah, looking at one end of the verandah.

She knew that every time the young lady was unhappy, Carefree would definitely come to see her. As long as she sees the figure of Childe from a distance, she will go back immediately, and Miss will see me with pity.

But she waited until the moon rose, and Dabao had already entered, and there was no shadow of Gongzi.

Early in the morning, Lin Zhu pushed open the door and saw Cai Erniang walking out of the vegetable field with a bamboo basket hanging on her arm. Seeing her from afar, she said, "Zhu'er, my mother picked a few tender cucumbers for you, but they are fresh." There are also small eggplant beans, which will be steamed for you and mixed with some old garlic and cold vegetables. ”

There are cucumbers to eat! Could it be that the cucumber flowers have only fallen and the cucumbers can be eaten in a few days? This is growing too fast! Lin Zhu flew out like a butterfly, and after a while, he arrived at the vegetable field, walked carefully on the vegetable stalks, stretched out his arms, and kept his body balanced, so as not to step on garlic sprouts, shallots, cabbage and carrots.

Caier was hoeing the idle grass in the pepper and cabbage field not far away, looking at his daughter's cute posture with his eyes on the corner of his mouth showing a pleased smile.

His daughter is growing up day by day, and the longer she grows, the more beautiful she becomes, it's not that he is partial, he has also seen several young ladies in Yanfu, and young ladies from several wealthy families in the town, and he thinks that he is not as good-looking as his own daughter.

And this daughter is blessed, since she came to the vegetable garden, the lady has a smile on her face, and she no longer always sighs and blames herself for not having a child, making him feel guilty. gradually forgot about his unspeakable problem, he felt that the family was very good.

He did his job with a satisfied smile, Lin Zhu ran to Cai Erniang's side, stretched out his head, and saw a few small cucumbers with cute little yellow flowers in the delicate bamboo basket, and a few slender eggplants of the same length, which were also the same length and short beans.

Surprised, he picked up a small cucumber and said, "Mother, this cucumber is too small, can you eat it?" Why are these vegetables picked before they are ripe? What a pity, I'm not greedy. ”

She had never seen such a small cucumber and eggplant beans, and she could still eat them.

When Cai Er Niangzi saw her daughter, she had a motherly smile on her face, touched her head and said, "Zhu'er, this is broken and redundant, if you don't pick them, nothing else will grow." This cucumber, although it is a little smaller, tastes tender and crunchy. It's just that this eggplant bean doesn't have a vegetable taste, and it doesn't taste like June or July, but it is also delicious with more garlic and chili. ”

So that's the case, she understands it, it's like a broken seedling to pick off the excess growth that is not very good, leaving some room for others to grow.

She picked up a small cucumber, casually soaked it in the bucket of watering placed next to her, picked it up and took a bite, and it was really tender and crisp, very delicious.

I haven't eaten fruit for a long time, this gherkin is no worse than fruit, and it can also be beautiful.

After eating two in a row, the second lady looked at her with satisfaction, her haggard face was rough and rough, and there were some red spots.

It's all the result of these days.

She felt sour in her heart, this cowardly mother, she only knew how to cook, work and wash clothes every day, and she didn't let her daughter do any heavy work, did she leave all the delicious food, but she never knew how to be nice to herself.

She picked up another cucumber, soaked it in the bucket, stuffed it into the mouth of the second lady and said, "Mother, you eat it too." ”

I thought in my heart that this mother was only in her early thirties, which was the most beautiful age in a woman's life, but for the sake of this family, she would make herself feel like she was seventy or eighty, and she wanted to find a way to help her.

Cai Er Niangzi ate cucumbers, handed the bamboo basket on her arm to Lin Zhu and said, "Zhu'er, you go and pick the eggplant, the beans are pumped, peel a few old garlic, and smash a nest of spicy seeds." Yesterday, Sister-in-law Cai secretly gave us a bowl of white noodles, and my mother will make soft cakes for you later. By the way, you just need to pick the dishes well, you don't need to wash them, and keep your mother to do it. And when I smashed spicy seeds, I wrapped a piece of cloth around my hands. “

Lin Zhu agreed to carry the basket out of the vegetable field, and Cai Er Niangzi began to help Cai Er water the field.

Lin Zhu went to the kitchen, took out a few cucumbers and put them on the board, picked the eggplant beans, and went to the outside wall to take down the garlic and red pepper that were hanging.

Squatted outside the kitchen door and peeled a head of garlic, ripped off half a bunch of dried red peppers, shook off the dust on it, washed it with water, and put it outside to dry, ready to wait until the water was dry, and smashed it into a chili flake with a stone nest.

After doing this qiē, seeing that my father and mother were still busy in the field, I found some work to do, and I heard that there seemed to be movement outside the gate, and it should be someone from the Yanfu kitchen who came to pick up the food.

Then the two large baskets prepared by the two husbands and wives early in the morning, leeks, spinach, garlic sprouts, cabbage, carrots, and radishes, were moved out of the gate.

The anxious Caier hurriedly shouted: "Zhu'er, the frame is heavy, don't move there, wait for Dad." ”

Lin Zhu turned his head and said, "Dad, it's all some vegetables, it's not heavy, I can do it." ”

I had just moved the dish to the gate when the door opened. It's really a person from Yanfu.

It was Aunt Cai and the two women who picked up the vegetables today. Aunt Cai smiled when she saw Lin Zhu's chubby face, talked to Lin Zhu for a while with a kind face, and secretly stuffed a cloth bag under Lin Zhu's belt while the two vegetable pickers were not paying attention.

The two mothers-in-law also often come to pick up vegetables, and they also like Lin Zhu, one took out a handful of sunflower seeds from the pocket under the placket and stuffed it into her hand, and the other gave her a candy seed with a smile.

The few people in the Yan Mansion who could see her were all good to her, Lin Zhu smiled brightly, and helped the three of them carry the dishes into the back door of the Yan Mansion. Eating candy with joy, he was just about to enter the gate of the vegetable garden, and was surprised to find that the fence wall that was bare a few days ago had changed.

I couldn't help but walk slowly around the wall. (To be continued......)
