Chapter 250: Invitation
Early in the morning, the mild sun rose, and it was another good day.
But An Rong's mood didn't get better, because today was the day when the mansion went to Ciyun Nunnery to pick up Shen Anxi back.
Out of Linglong Garden, An Rong walked a little lazy, when crossing the stone bridge, he threw the green leaves he picked into the water and watched the fish frolicking in the water.
An Rong, who was bored, sat on the bridge and looked at the scenery around.
Peony was worried, and persuaded An Rong, "How can the girl sit on the bridge, what if she accidentally falls?" β
Peony is not brave enough, otherwise he would have reached out and dragged An Rong up.
An Rong did not speak.
Just sit quietly.
Peony panicked in her heart, for fear that a gust of wind would blow.
In a blink of an eye, An Rong called for help in the water.
It's not that there are no people who fall into the water from the bridge, but on the contrary, there are quite a few people.
In the distance, a maid with a petite head and a thin orchid-colored skirt stepped forward.
When I got closer, I realized that it was Dong'er.
When Peony saw her coming, she looked at Dong'er with some wonder and said, "Why are you back?" β
Dong'er accompanied Qiu Ju to the front yard to pick up the maid back.
Yesterday afternoon, the third wife sent a maid to tell SΓΉ Anrong, and tomorrow morning, Renyazi will bring the maid to the house to ask An Rong if the third wife helped her pick it, or An Rong picked it herself.
After all, it is to choose a maid for An Rong, and An Rong has to be satisfied.
Although An Rong asked the old lady before, An Rong was in the house, and there was nothing to do, so let her come by herself.
At that time, An Rong was very irritable, how could he be in the mood to take care of the maid's affairs, so he asked the maid to return to the third wife and let her choose it on her behalf.
That's why Qiu Ju took Dong'er to the front yard to pick up the maid early this morning.
Now that Dong'er is back alone, Peony wonders.
Dong'er replied. "I was going to go to the front yard with Sister Qiu Ju, but halfway through, I heard the maid break her mouth and whisper. Yesterday, the second wife and the fourth wife were punished by the old lady to kneel in the ancestral hall, who wants to be at night. There are nearly 100 cockroaches wandering around in the Buddhist hall, and now the maids dare not approach the Buddhist hall, saying that the Buddhist hall is not suddenly a mouse, there are cockroaches, there are weird, and the cockroaches are still ....... β
Dong'er said, but never said anything else.
Peony was in a hurry. "What else, you say."
Dong'er bit her lower lip lightly, looked around, and then said in a low voice, "I heard that the cockroach also got into the mouth of the second wife, and it was the ...... that the fourth wife saw with her own eyes." β
Peony's eyes froze, and she suddenly gagged.
She clutched her neck and vomited several times, even vomiting tears.
An Rong was no better, only feeling goosebumps all over his body.
Partial peony also asked. "And where did the cockroaches go in the end?"
Dong'er shuddered and said, "It doesn't seem to have come out." β
didn't come out, it must have been eaten by the second wife.
Peony thought of that scene. The pantothenic acid in his stomach reprimanded Dong'er, "Such a disgusting thing, you also sue Miss SΓΉ!" β
Dong'er was reprimanded in a daze, with a look of accusation on her little face, obviously you asked her in the end, she just knew that she was a little disgusting, so she didn't say it, and now she blames her for being disgusting girl. Why does she feel that her palms are so itchy that she wants to tickle people?
Dong'er turned her head to look at An Rong. Seeing her disgusting expression, Dong'er lowered her head.
Peony asked again. "How is the second wife now?"
Dong'er raised her eyes and glanced at the peony and said, "I heard that the second wife even vomited bile, including the cockroach, and the second wife is still fainting on the small bed in the backyard of the Buddha hall at this moment." β
Because of the matter of bribing the mother-in-law and making her drunk, the second and fourth wives were punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and the old lady had an order that no one should let them out until the time.
It was late at night, and the mother-in-law didn't dare to bother the old lady for such a thing.
Although swallowing a cockroach by mistake is disgusting, but if it is spit out, it will not be in the way.
As for fainting, it is because of the acceptance of incompetence.
Think about the second wife, before marrying into the Hou Mansion, she was a serious girl, and in the Hou Mansion, she was a decent second wife, she was usually afraid of mosquitoes, and when she saw ants, she didn't dare to step on them, she was afraid of dirty embroidered shoes, but when she saw an animal so disgusting as a cockroach, she swallowed it!
Such a blow, don't say it's the second wife, even if you change to any maid, you can cry and faint.
It's really hard for the second wife.
Peony turned her head to look at An Rong, with some guilt in her eyes, she just listened to An Rong and Shen Anxi talking, saying that it was not appropriate to release mice, but other animals could.
Other animals, she only thought of cockroaches, so she told the secret guard Brother Zhao Cheng, she just wanted to scare and scare the second wife, and smack them well, who would have thought that they would be eaten.
It's disgusting to think about.
Peony thought that when she saw the second wife in the future, she would think of the cockroach brother who was eaten, walked around in the second wife's stomach, and was spit out.
An Rong patted the back skirt and patted off a little dust on it.
An Rong expressed sympathy for the second wife's accident, but only for a moment.
If they hadn't ignored the old lady's orders, how could they have been punished by the old lady to kneel in the ancestral hall, and how could they have encountered such a disgusting thing?
They brought it on themselves.
If they are all the same as the third wife, even if they don't like her anymore, as long as their hearts are towards the Hou Mansion and filial piety to the old lady, An Rong is willing to help them.
Now, it's good that she doesn't fall into the well, or just throws small stones.
If you want to be the ruthless one, throw the snake and release it to the Buddha Hall, can they still have a life?
An Rong continued to walk towards Songheyuan.
I have been thinking about the affairs of the Buddha Hall all the way, and it has been so strange for two consecutive days, and now it has made the people of the Hou Mansion panic.
This inevitably alarmed the old lady.
In the room, the old lady sat on the Luohan couch, gently playing with the Buddhist beads in her hand, and her expression was unthinking.
Mother Sun stood aside and waited, and the old lady glanced at her, "Look at these rats and cockroaches?" β
Mother Sun has served the old lady for decades, and she clearly understands the meaning of the old lady's every move, even a look, she nodded and said, "The slave also feels like someone did it on purpose, the mouse is gone, and cockroaches appear." And there are so many of them, if one or two of them are said in the past, there are too many ....... β
The old lady's eyes twitched.
She was skeptical. Did the third wife and Shen Anxi do this?
The mother and daughter are anxious and jealous. Revenge will be avenged.
Shen Anfu and Shen Anxi fought, it was impossible for the third wife to be angry in her heart, if she retaliated, she did it completely, and she also had that motive.
But it doesn't look like the third wife did it.
After all, Shen Anxi didn't suffer any losses, Shen Anfu and the others were not beaten, and the old lady knew it.
She also admitted that she was partial to Shen Anxi, because she was sick and weak earlier. Pity it.
Now Sanfang and Hou Ye are intimate, even more than in the past, Shen Anmin and Shen Anbei are more like two brothers, and the third wife treats Shen Anbei as her own son.
These days, Shen Anbei is the rice he uses in Xiyuan,
Sometimes I think it's too troublesome to go back to my yard, so I go to bed with Shen Anmin.
As the saying goes, it's good enough to wear a pair of pants.
Looking at the house again, causing trouble, it is not at all restless.
The old lady's heart corresponded, and she was more and more fond of her two well-behaved granddaughters.
No physical evidence was found. will not punish Shen Anxi.
Therefore, the old lady suspected that it was not the third lady who did it, and she and Shen Anxi were the winners. They will despise the second wife and them as victors, but they will not send people to scare them, let alone rats and cockroaches.
Not to mention, the old lady really knows her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
Shen Anxi really couldn't do this, to be precise, she couldn't think of it.
But someone started up, and she did what she did, and that was what she was best at.
Now the old lady doesn't know what to do, and she can't ask the third lady openly. It's distrustful, but if you don't ask. The Buddha hall is so weird, and he will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. It's time for a reason to intercede.
How could the old lady have thought that this was a bad idea thought of by An Rong, who is gentle and always easy to talk, and it has been processed and transformed by the maid peony medicine with many thieves?
"What should I do with the Buddha Hall?" Mother Sun asked.
The old lady raised her eyes, and happened to see An Rong coming in, and sat down next to the old lady after greeting her.
The old lady left Anrong with this ugly sound, and waited for Anrong to give her an idea.
The old lady now relies on An Rong very much.
An Rong blinked lightly, thought for a while, and said, "Let the maid go to find it, there must be a cockroach nest near the Buddha Hall, if it is destroyed, it will be gone, and then go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine, won't it be able to destroy all the cockroaches?" β
An Rong didn't know if there were cockroach nests in the Buddhist hall, but this task was given to the maid mother-in-law.
I can't find it, it's because they are not doing well.
They dare not find it, and if they can't find it, they have to say that they have found it.
Who doesn't have a few rats and cockroaches in their house?
It's just that there are a few more Buddha Halls in the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, after all, it is a little remote there, and it is understandable.
As long as there are no cockroaches, wouldn't the Buddha Hall be fine?
The old lady thought about it and thought it would work.
Those who live in the Buddha hall on the left and right are punished, and those who don't have her heart should suffer more.
As soon as Mother Sun gave the order, Shen Anxi walked in with a smile.
She held a big red invitation in her hand, and when she saw An Rong, she raised it.
Smile brightly.
"So happy, who gave you the post?" The old lady asked with a smile.
The corners of Shen Anxi's mouth twitched, and she said coquettishly, "Grandmother knows how to laugh at me, how can I recognize a few beautiful girls." β
The least number of friends in the house is estimated to be Shen Anxi, she has been sick for a long time, she is out of breath when she walks and talks, and it is delusional to go out.
The ladies who came to the Hou Mansion as guests were not happy to see her at all, for fear that she would cough in front of them and infect them.
With such people, Shen Anxi is not willing to associate with them.
Yes, there was absolutely no one to invite her.
But what she was holding in her hand was obviously an invitation.
Or an invitation to paint peonies.
Such an invitation represents respect.
The old lady smiled in surprise, "Not an invitation for you?" Who is that for? β
ps: In the middle of the night, it's still codeword~~oo~~
I wonder if there are any readers with you?
Ask for encouragement.
By the way, I begged for pink, and it fell again. (To be continued)
