Chapter 402: Providence and Manpower
After Luo Zhizhen finished speaking, he pinched the corner of his clothes and carefully looked at the old lady's face.
The mother-in-law died, and the father never had her daughter in his eyes, and the eldest brother vaguely guessed that something had been done and was kicked out of the house. She is not like Goro, she is a concubine and a boy, as long as An An is divided, she will naturally have a good future.
She is almost ten years old, and she has been filial piety for her mother for three years, although in fact it is only twenty-seven months, but when she is out of the filial piety period, she is also a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and when the time comes, who will care about her?
Speaking of which, there is only a grandmother, although she has never looked at her differently on weekdays, at least there is no obvious dislike, she has flattered her well in the past two years, and maybe she will have a future.
In the past two years, she has watched coldly, and she can see that this woman can only live a comfortable life if she marries the right person, like the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law.
Seeing the old lady looking over, Luo Zhizhen subconsciously held his breath and rubbed the moon-white plain jacket on his body.
The old lady saw the ups and downs of the rice balls in the celadon bowl, different sizes, but they were all round and fat, and it was obvious that she was also attentive, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "The real sister can make rice balls, and she has really become a big girl." ”
Luo Zhizhen's face suddenly lit up, and he picked up the celadon bowl: "Grandmother, granddaughter will serve you to eat." ”
People are old, they like to eat soft and glutinous things, today is the Lantern Festival, although the old lady said so at the banquet, but it was just for Zhen Miao to go down the steps, at this moment I saw the rice balls made by my granddaughter herself, how could I not appreciate my face, and immediately instructed Hongfu: "First move a small pestle for the third girl." ”
Hongfu moved the chair, and turned around and brought a soft towel: "Old lady." Clean your hands first. ”
She turned around and seemed to be in a hurry, and suddenly touched Luo Zhizhen's arm.
Luo Zhizhen was young after all, and when he touched it like this, he suddenly didn't hold it steady, and the bowl overturned.
The steaming rice balls splashed on the ground all of a sudden, splashing Luo Zhizhen's skirt and the upper of his shoes, and some soup was sprinkled on her wrists, so she screamed at that time.
"The servant should be damned, please punish the old lady!" Hongfu knelt down with a thud.
The old lady raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Hongfu has been with her for many years, and she is the most stable. So reckless. Almost never.
"Is the real sister hot?"
Luo Zhizhen hurriedly shook his head: "Grandmother, I'm fine, after walking all the way, the soup is no longer hot." ”
The old lady saw that Luo Zhizhen's wrist was not red. Breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at Hongfu, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face. In the end, he saved face for the big girl, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you take the third girl to clean up quickly." ”
"Yes, thank you for not blaming the old lady and the third girl." Hongfu hurriedly got up. Go to Fura Zhizhen.
Luo Zhizhen waved his hand, turned around and walked to the table, opened the food box, and took out an identical celadon bowl.
"My granddaughter has little strength, and she is afraid that she will spill on the road, so she also prepared a bowl."
Hongfu's expression froze, he lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, but his hand was quietly clenched.
Yesterday, the grandmother found her privately and told her to pay more attention to the old lady's diet, and specially mentioned that the glutinous rice balls are sticky, and the old lady's teeth are not as good as before.
Although she felt that the eldest grandmother was making a fuss, but as a maid, one wrong step may be a catastrophe, so when she saw the third girl bring the rice balls to the old lady, she was ruthless, and at the risk of being scolded, she solved the bowl of rice balls, but who would have thought that the three girls actually prepared a bowl, if she did anything else, I am afraid it would not be as simple as scolding.
"Grandmother-" Luo Zhizhen held the bowl, with an unconscious pleading in his eyes.
She was very afraid, and the first step she took died like this.
She remembered that the year when her sister-in-law passed the door, she became a sedan chair lady, which should have been a matter of showing her face, but because of her sister-in-law's non-cooperation, she lost her face. Could it be that it is so difficult for a concubine to succeed?
There were tears in her eyes that quietly swirled, and when the old lady saw it, she sighed secretly and said, "Hongfu, what's wrong with you today, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you clean the ground quickly." ”
said and beckoned to Luo Zhizhen: "Come, how about letting grandmother taste the craftsmanship of the real sister." ”
Luo Zhizhen showed a bright smile, carefully held the bowl, deliberately bypassed Hongfu from a distance, scooped up a rice ball with a spoon, and sent it to the old lady's mouth.
The rice balls she scooped up were of moderate size, and the old lady deliberately gave her granddaughter some face and ate them in one bite.
Unexpectedly, the unexpected befell like this.
The old lady smiled suddenly, covered her neck and began to breathe, and soon, her face turned blue.
The bowl in Luo Zhizhen's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Hongfu was still half-squatting on the ground to clean up, but when he heard the movement, he raised his head, and when he saw the old lady's appearance, he was so frightened that he lost his face, and shouted: "Mama Yang, Hongxi, come quickly, the old lady choked-"
Several people waiting in the ear room suddenly rushed in, Mama Yang took the lead, saw the old lady's appearance, her face changed greatly, and she ran towards the old lady and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Hongfu's voice trembled: "The old lady choked on eating rice balls!" ”
"Why don't you call a doctor!" Mama Yang yelled at the maid not far away, and her hands were not idle, helping the old lady to pat her back desperately.
The old lady choked on a mouthful of rice balls in her throat, unable to go up or down, her face began to turn from blue to purple, and she only heard the sound of snoring and panting becoming more and more rapid.
Luo Zhizhen was directly frightened, and at this time he reacted, took a few steps back, covered his mouth and rushed out.
At this time, there was chaos in the house, and naturally no one cared about her.
Zhen Miao happened to enter the courtyard, and suddenly a person fell into her arms, and when she looked at Luo Zhizhen, she couldn't help asking, "Sister Zhen, what's wrong?" ”
Luo Zhizhen didn't look at Zhen Miao, pushed her away and ran away.
Zhen Miao's face changed, she already realized that something was wrong, and rushed in with arrows, and couldn't help but be shocked when she saw the scene in the room.
"Mama Yang, let me come!"
At this time, every minute and every second is precious, Zhen Miao's mind is already blank, she can't think about anything, she pushes Mama Yang away, stands behind the old lady and wraps her waist, clenches her fist against the old lady's stomach with one hand, grabs the fist with the other hand, and hits it hard and quickly inside and up.
Hongxi was taken aback, and hurriedly went up to stop her: "Grandma, what are you doing here, the old lady can't stand it like this-"
Zhen Miao kicked Hongxi out of the way: "Shut up!" ”
She was not idle in her hands, repeating the action just now, Hongxi wanted to go up to stop her, but was pulled by Hongfu.
Somehow, Hongfu now has an indescribable trust in Zhen Miao.
At this time, I heard a wow, and the old lady opened her mouth, and a complete rice ball rolled out.
Zhen Miao breathed a sigh of relief almost like collapse, her whole body was already soaked with sweat, she took a few steps back, and sat weakly on the embroidery pier.
Mama Yang helped the old lady and recited "Thank God" again and again.
At this time, the doctor rushed over and dealt with the rest of the matter.
Zhen Miaoxi came over and asked Hongfu, "What's the matter?" ”
In the house, she always felt a little unsteady, thinking about the storybooks she had read, many people who were expected to have an accident did everything possible to avoid it, and always fell short at the last moment, and her heart hung up.
Not to mention the entrustment of the prince, she has been married for three years, even if the old lady has some mustard for her now, but the relationship established day after day is not a lie, if something happens to the old lady, she will blame herself for a lifetime, rather than regretting it afterwards, it is better to guard against it now.
Zhen Miao thought about it, she was cheeky today, and it was a big deal to say that it was uncomfortable to spend the Lantern Festival alone after the prince left, and she would spend the night here with the old lady. didn't expect that so soon, the old lady would have an accident.
"The third girl brought rice balls to honor the old lady, who knew that the old lady only ate one bite and choked." Hongfu was crying with tears on his face, if something really happened to the old lady, their personal maid would definitely be buried with her.
Zhen Miao's eyes swept Hongfu sharply.
Hongfu knew what Zhen Miao was annoyed about, and bit his lip and said: "It's really a coincidence today, the first bowl of rice balls of the third girl was accidentally touched and spilled by the maid, who knew that the third girl brought two bowls-"
Zhen Miao only then knew the ins and outs of the matter, thinking of Luo Zhizhen crying and rushing out just now, her face changed slightly, and she raised her voice: "Come on, go and find the third girl!" ”
In addition to Mama Yang, as well as Hongfu Hongxi, the two big maids stayed to serve the old lady, the other maids and daughters-in-law were all sent out by Zhen Miao, and after thinking about it, they didn't feel at ease, and instructed Qingge and Finch: "You also look for it, especially the lakeside, rockery, flower shed and other places where people are carried." ”
The old lady has already vomited out the rice balls, but there is nothing serious, but she is old, and after some tossing just now, she has fallen into a deep sleep.
When the doctor left, Zhen Miao said to Mama Yang: "In the future, Mama Yang will have to worry more, grandmother is old, and it is best not to eat some things made of glutinous rice." Hongfu is not easy to persuade, but grandmother still listens to your words. ”
Mama Yang nodded again and again: "I was also negligent." ”
She was a little suspicious in her heart, at today's family banquet, there was no shadow of the rice balls, could the grandmother not be a prophet?
Fortunately, thanks to her, the old lady did not have an accident, and when the old lady woke up, I am afraid that the little knot in the grandmother will be gone.
Hongfu was also surprised in his heart, looking at Zhen Miao's gaze with reverence and a little confused.
At this time, a maid hurriedly ran in: "Grandma, it's not good, the third girl has an accident." ”
Zhen Miao's heart sank: "What's wrong with the third girl?" ”
The maid ran out of breath and panted: "The third girl smashed open the ice hole in Bibo Lake and jumped, but fortunately she was rescued by the girl from the bird, and now she is still unconscious!" ”
Zhen Miao's heart roared past with 10,000 grass and mud horses. I've seen a mess, I've never seen such a mess!
She got up: "Mama Yang, grandmother, you guard first, I'll go and see the third girl." ”
Not long after Zhen Miao left, the old lady woke up and listened to Mama Yang talk about what happened later, and her eyes turned red: "What about the daughter-in-law of Dalang?" (To be continued......)
PS: I made an appointment with a friend to eat a buffet, but she couldn't go tomorrow because of something, and then I was not well...... Where to find a little friend like me, who eats self-help and sticks to the wall to go in and come out of the wall!
