Chapter 0236 - Take office with the master
It turned out that the twelfth aunt Xueyan lived in the west courtyard, which was also a courtyard with a separate courtyard, which was separated from the courtyard, but the terrain was not as good as the east courtyard where Feng Jiao lived. Xue Yan is only about twenty, with a round and fat face, white and clean. Her father is the richest family in Guojiazhuang, and her family's manor is within a radius of several miles. Xueyan's father Guo Cheng has more than ten children around him, and Xueyan was originally a concubine, and she has no status in the family. That year, Lu Xiang just became the magistrate of the county, and the landlord Guo wanted to expand the family business, thinking that Lord Lu liked women, so Mrs. Zheng was in charge and sent Xueyan in.
Lu Zhixian naturally did not refuse, and Xizizi accepted Xueyan and became the twelfth aunt. He thought that this matter would be dispersed from then on, but he didn't know that Father Guo had a lot of ideas, and after visiting him several times, the two became grasshoppers on a rope. The father relied on his son-in-law to make a fortune, and the son-in-law made a lot of profits from the middle, and the two played without leaking. In this way, Xue Yan's position in the mansion is very important. Although Lu Xiang doesn't like this white and chubby woman, for the sake of her father, he still has to take care of it from time to time.
Xueyan is not as good as Feng Jiao, Feng Jiao's lazy sex is leisurely in the house. If you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you, and there will be harmony in the house. Xueyan is a fiery character, as long as something doesn't go well, she will either beat or scold, and she will always make the whole house restless.
That day, Xue Yan heard that the old man had given a gold bracelet to the East Courtyard, and the anger came up. She took four or five stout maids straight to the east courtyard, saw Feng Jiao, and without saying a word, she stepped forward and slapped her. Feng Jiao was originally enjoying the shade on the chaise longue, but was slapped inexplicably, and her heart was very angry. She stood up from her chair. also smiled and blessed Xue Yan and said, "Grandma Twelve is here!" What are you angry about? Grandma Twelve, please sit down and let the girl bring herbal tea. Twelve grandmothers put out the fire. ”
Xue Yan saw that she was very obedient, and sat down on the chaise longue chair angrily. Feng Jiao gave Cui'er a look and asked her to bring herbal tea. Cui'er understood what her grandmother meant, and went straight to the back room. After a while, he came out with a pot of herbal tea. At that time, Xue Yan was still angrily scolding Feng Jiao for being a fox, and seducing men all day long. In the beginning. She also saw Feng Jiao listening with a smile, and when she saw Cui'er coming out with a large pot, she suddenly felt bad. Get up and run. Feng Jiao still smiled, took the basin, fell down from head to toe in front of Xue Yan, and said in her mouth: "Aunt Twelve is dry. Eat Fengjiao's basin of foot washing water. Put out the fire for the twelve aunts. ”
Xue Yan was drenched and hated. In a fit of rage, she snatched it up, grabbed Feng Jiao's hand and bit it. Feng Jiao stretched out her neatly trimmed nails and brushed them twice, and Xue Yan drew a blood mark on each side of her face. It doesn't matter if you take a bite on your hand, but if you get a scratch on your face, it's fatal. After that, when you go in and out of the house, how can you see people? Xue Yan couldn't catch Feng Jiao. Sitting on the ground and crying, he couldn't beat himself, so he had to angrily scold the maid and step forward to beat Fengjiao.
These maids were extremely stout, and at the behest of their grandmother, they all rolled up their sleeves, put on a posture, and rushed towards Feng Jiao. Feng Jiao was not in a hurry or jumping, picked up the kitchen knife handed over by Cui'er, stuck it on the armrest of the chaise longue, and said: "Feng Jiao was originally a tofu seller, but she has no other skills, and her kung fu cutting is still at home." Who wants to be stabbed like that, Feng Jiao just accompanies him. After that, Feng Jiao yawned for a long time, lay back in the chair, grabbed the knife in her hand, closed her eyes and hummed a slang song: "The night is heavy, the moonlight is shining, my sister misses my brother, and I panic when I think about it." Take off the red embroidered skirt and take off the little white clothes, my sister misses my brother, and I hope that my brother will come to bed. ”
The girl in the West Courtyard scolded Feng Jiao in her heart, but she could only stare at her with her eyes. If they really want to go up and tear Feng Jiao, they have to weigh the kitchen knife in her hand.
After facing each other like this for half a cup of tea, Feng Jiao opened her eyes and said lazily: "It's nothing, Aunt Twelve will go out, don't affect Feng Jiao's sleep." So saying, he got up and led the girls back to the house, bolted the door, and went to sleep. Xue Yan stood bored in the courtyard, scolded the door twice, there was no movement inside, and in depression, she led her people away.
Since then, everyone in the house knows that the twelfth aunt and the eighteenth aunt are incompatible. Even if the two met on the road, they didn't say hello and went their separate ways. Therefore, today Feng Jiao sent Cui'er to invite Xue Yan to come to the back garden to drink, and her heart beat the drum. When Aunt Don't Twelve saw her, she slapped her twice, Cui'er wasn't very wronged? In order not to cause trouble, Cui'er took a detour to the eleventh aunt adjacent to the west courtyard, found a familiar maid, and sent her to tell the twelfth aunt, only to say that the master was waiting for her to drink by the mirror lake in the back garden. After explaining, Cui'er left and returned to the mirror lake, waiting for the twelve aunts with Feng Jiao and the master.
Sure enough, after a while, Xue Yan came to the mirror lake with two maids. From afar, I saw her with a big disc face, smiling in the moonlight. Feng Jiao hurriedly stepped down from the pavilion to greet her, grabbed Xue Yan's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, Aunt Twelve is here, Feng Jiao has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
The smile on Xue Yan's face instantly retracted, she shook off Feng Jiao's hand, glared at Feng Jiao and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Feng Jiao said: "The twelve aunts sent by Feng Jiao to invite, do you want Feng Jiao to go?" Feng Jiao set up a wedding banquet, and today she specially apologized to the twelfth aunt. A few days ago, we were a little unhappy, and Aunt Twelve should not be blamed. We sisters are under the same roof, we don't look up and don't look down, what kind of grudge do we have that we can't resolve? ”
Xue Yan said coldly: "I have received Aunt Eighteen's wishes, but Xue Yan is not a person who kicks her nose in the face. Eighteen aunts should be provincial. This sentence is aimed at Feng Jiao, and the implication is that Feng Jiao originally sold tofu, and it would be good to be able to enter the house, what kind of shelf?
Lu Xiang saw that the two were facing each other like fighting cocks, and beckoned to Xue Yan and said, "Xue Yan, come, sit here, I have something to say to you." ”
Xue Yan glanced at Feng Jiao proudly, pushed her away, and actually went up to the gazebo. Feng Jiao was pushed by her, but she didn't care, and followed Xue Yan into the pavilion. Xue Yan went up and gave Lu Xiang a blessing. Lu Xiang pointed to the chair on the left and said, "Xueyan, sit here." ”
Xue Yan sat down with a tense face, and said angrily: "The master wants to say that he is drinking with the eighteenth aunt here." Xue Yan didn't come, so she didn't have to disturb the old man and the eighteenth aunt Yaxing. Xue Yan also knew that the master's mind was only on the eighteenth aunt. Why bother to be a thorn in your side? ”
Feng Jiao smiled and sat on the right side of the old man and said, "Aunt Twelve's words are wrong. Today, Feng Jiao invited the Twelfth Aunt to come here for one thing: Feng Jiao was just a tofu seller, but unlike the Twelfth Aunt, she was born in everyone, and she did a lot of things like kicking her nose and face. Therefore, Feng Jiao thought about it, and it was better to go home and sell tofu. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Xue Yan was taken aback. Even Lu Xiang's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed and asked, "Feng Jiao, what did you say?" ”
Feng Jiao could only glance at Lu Xiang indescribably. That means, just be at ease and just listen to my arrangement.
As for Xue Yan, she was really surprised when she heard the news at first. But then I thought about it. It's a great event. Feng Jiao is out of the house, the eldest grandmother doesn't care about anything, and she is the only one in the house, isn't she happy? So, she pretended to be kind and said, "Eighteen aunts are strict." Although our sisters are a little awkward, they are the masters after all, what do you say about the high and low? But then again. The eighteenth aunt is a loose child, and the eighteenth aunt is indeed a little wronged in the house. It's not a bad thing to go out of the house. ”
Feng Jiao smiled: "Aunt Twelve is right. After the old man left, Feng Jiao went home to sell tofu. ”
Xue Yan hurriedly said: "Master go?" Where is the lord going? ”
Feng Jiao picked her nails and said casually: "Aunt Twelve still doesn't know? The lord has been promoted, and in a few days, there will be an edict to come down, and he will be promoted to go to Shanxi to be the prefect? When the decree is met, the master is leaving. ”
Xue Yan didn't even know about such a big thing. She looked at Lu Xiang and asked, "Master, is this true?" ”
How could Lu Xiang ever know this news? But Feng Jiao said before, as long as she follows her words. So, he only nodded sullenly.
Feng Jiao said again: "This will be at least three or five years, and at most seven or eight years." Saying that, she looked at Lu Xiang with pity and said, "What can I do if there is no one around my lord to take care of me?" If Feng Jiao didn't go home, she should have followed the master to serve. But Feng Jiao, who is leaving, why is he embarrassed to kick his nose and face to follow. ”
Xue Yan grabbed the master's hand, shook it and said, "Master, why don't you tell me about such a big matter?" Xueyan has nothing to do at home, and is willing to follow the master to take office. ”
Lu Xiang looked confused. Feng Jiao said: "Feng Jiao told the master about this just now. Feng Jiao said to the master, up and down the house, if you want to be shrewd and capable, who can compare to the twelve aunts? This follower is not good for anyone but the twelve aunts. ”
Xue Yan didn't know that this was a ditch dug by Feng Jiao for herself, and she didn't think about the truth or falsehood, but Coco jumped in. She was convinced of what Feng Jiao said at this time, and she was a little grateful to her: "Thank you, Aunt Eighteen!" ”
Feng Jiao sighed and said, "It is said that this is a great thing, but the master also has difficulties." ”
Xue Yan was about to be filial piety, and hurriedly asked, "What is the difficulty of the master?" The eighteenth aunt just said, no matter what, Xueyan just did it. ”
Feng Jiao boasted: "Feng Jiao said that there is no one in this mansion who can compare to the twelve aunts." The twelfth aunt also knows that this promotion always has to express a little bit about it, but the lord said that all the belongings are in the Guo family's father-in-law~~~"
Xue Yan patted her thigh and said, "Oh, what did I say, it turned out to be those account books that sold grain." This matter is wrapped up in Xue Yan, tomorrow, no, I will send someone home tonight, bring the account book and hand it to the master. This matter cannot be delayed, and the lord must hurry up. Xue Yan is worried, the night is long and there are many dreams, don't let people arch. ”
Feng Jiao nodded and said, "Aunt Twelve is right, this matter has to be done as soon as possible." However, the twelfth aunt is doing things, Feng Jiao can rest assured, hand over the master to the twelve aunts, and Feng Jiao will be able to go home with confidence. ”
Xue Yan was happy, and said with a fake smile: "How can the eighteenth aunt stay for a few more days?" When I got home, I should come to the house from time to time to see these sisters. ”
Feng Jiao said yes. The three of them drank for a while and gossiped a little. Xue Yan had something to do and hurried back to her room. Feng Jiao naturally understood, and when she left, she sneered and said to the master: "Look, what is this?" I'm afraid that tomorrow morning, the master's lifeline will be at the head of the bed. ”
Lu Xiang admired Feng Jiao so much. Then, he said worriedly: "When Xueyan asks me about my promotion, how can I answer?" ”
Feng Jiao smiled: "! The master's lifeline is in hand, what are you afraid of her doing? But those things still let Feng Jiao keep them, otherwise~~~" Feng Jiao's mouth pursed, her eyes were red, and Pear Blossom said with rain: "Otherwise, Feng Jiao will have to go back to sell tofu." ”
The old man took Feng Jiao, hugged him in his arms, and said again and again: "Give it to you, give it to you, even if you want my old life, I will give it to you, my good aunt, don't cry." (To be continued......)
