Chapter 15: The Pit Girl
Although they all know that someone is instigating the Chen family, they also know that the Chen family actually has no action power, but the soldiers are just coming to block the water and cover the earth, and the two of them are laughing and talking about gossip.
When Chen Xiqing heard about this Huang Gongzi, he immediately smiled and bent over: "This market is really good, it's not that I said, my man is beautiful enough, why is there no such a good thing?" Ha lu haha. ”
Of course, Zhou Baolu has also seen this little uncle, he looks really beautiful, his facial features are handsome as if he was painted, his eyebrows are handsome, his waist is high and his legs are long, his posture is straight, he has lived in the barracks for many years, he is dressed in military uniform at any time, and he is extremely cold, Zhou Baolu used to worry that this little uncle is so unsmiling, always pursing his thin lips tightly, how does the little aunt get along with him, but after getting married, he saw Chen Xiqing's complexion, and his complexion became brighter and brighter, Zhou Baolu felt that there was nothing to worry about.
The two talked happily for a long time, until dinner, after dinner, Zhou Baolu went home with Chen, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and he looked in a good mood.
Chen's family is worried, her daughter is so old, how can she come back.
When everyone entered the mansion, they naturally went to greet the eldest princess Jinghe, and the eldest princess beckoned Zhou Baolu to sit beside her, and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”
Zhou Anming stood aside respectfully and did not speak.
Early this morning, Zhou Anming knew that the second uncle heard that his grandmother had instructed the third uncle to take him to the Wu'an Hou Mansion to pay respects, and the second uncle sent someone to tell the second aunt that there was something in his yamen, so he would not go to the Wu'an Hou Mansion today, and asked the second aunt to ask for him to go for him.
I didn't expect that the family would come back at this time, and the second uncle hadn't come back yet.
Chen looked around and saw that no one handed her a message, so he had to say honestly: "The prince said early this morning, there are important matters in the yamen, but I am afraid that it is not finished yet." ”
The eldest princess snorted.
Zhou Jiyun smiled and played a round: "I also heard that due to the preparation of foreign envoys to the court, the Ministry of Rites is very busy, and there are also cases where the second brother can't leave." ”
The eldest princess Jinghe didn't ask any more questions, but just changed her mind and asked some things about her birthday, Zhou Jiyun said with a smile: "I led Brother Ming to kowtow to my uncles and uncles and uncles, which shows that my brother is sensible and polite, and he is very praised." The uncle also praised Brother Ming's stability. ”
Jinghe, the eldest princess smiled and nodded, these words are just to listen to it, whoever comes to kowtow is not praised, how can anyone say to his face that other people's brothers are not good.
Today is just the first step for the government to set a big plate and push Zhou Anming out.
Something can be seen from anywhere.
Only Chen listened on the side, a little distracted, how come other people's children are good, only their own daughter...... She looked at Zhou Baolu, who was holding the arm of the eldest princess Jing and talking with a smile, her cheeks were red, her eyes were bright, and her spirit was flying...... In that way, where is the appearance of everyone's beautiful and demure?
Chen remembered that he heard his sisters whispering about Lu'er at his mother's house, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he couldn't help but make up his mind that he had to turn her temper around while it was not too big!
Early the next morning, Zhou Baolu went to the upper room to accompany Jinghe to the eldest princess for breakfast, and as soon as she came back, Chen stopped her and said that she had something to say to her.
"Ah, tell me to copy the Buddhist scriptures? What are you doing, what kind of Buddhist scriptures are you copying inexplicably! Zhou Baolu's big black eyes looked at Chen suspiciously.
Chen took her hand and sat on the side of the kang, and said with a smile: "I had a dream when I was in Zhuangzi before, and I dreamed that I walked into a big temple, and after waking up, I felt comfortable, which I had never seen on weekdays, and I felt that this was the path pointed out by the Bodhisattva." I went to Da'an Temple to burn incense, I didn't want to meet a master, and told me, I was brought by the sins of my previous life, and it was destined to be good, but now that there is a Bodhisattva blessing, as long as my closest people copy a thousand Buddhist scriptures to me, and eliminate the evil obstacles, it will be good. Lu'er, in my mother's life, the closest person is only you. ”
Is this true or false?
Zhou Baolu wondered, why did her mother come back here for more than ten days, and she didn't mention a word about any Bodhisattva, Buddhist scriptures, or anything, and went to her uncle's house, and suddenly gave birth to this thing? It's a bit weird.
What are some people in her uncle's family, what is the situation, Zhou Baolu is clear in her heart, what kind of character her mother is, Zhou Baolu is also clear, if it is another time, Chen comes to this one, Zhou Baolu only thinks that her mother is really something, and no matter how reluctant she is, she has to copy Buddhist scriptures for her mother, but when it is so coincidental, it is difficult to say.
Maybe someone said something in her mother's ear, and her mother believed it.
Then I remembered what my little aunt specially told her yesterday, and Zhou Baolu already understood in her heart.
Some people have gone crazy for the title of Marquis of Wu'an, no matter whether it is useful or not, they will spare no effort just to add a block to the Marquis of Wu'an's lineage, not to mention fooling the Chen family casually like this?
And Zhou Baolu is obviously from Chen Xihua's faction.
Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "So that's the case, as long as my mother's body is good, let alone copying a thousand copies, even copying 10,000 copies, I am also willing, so I will copy it tonight." ”
Chen smiled happily: "Sure enough, it's my good daughter, you obediently copy the Buddhist scriptures, you have your own benefits, and your mother will not harm you." ”
Zhou Baolu nodded obediently yes, and comforted Chen with many words, telling her to open her mind, think less and worry less, and naturally get better.
The intimacy and affection mentioned here, turning around, Zhou Baolu called Mang Yu to him and asked: "When I went back to my uncle's house yesterday, Sister Mang Yu served my mother, where did my mother go, who did she meet, and what did she hear?" ”
Mang Yu was already panicked in her heart, even if Zhou Baolu didn't send someone to call her, she would still find a chance to say it, at this time, when she heard Zhou Baolu ask, she hurriedly told her all about Chen's going to see Mrs. Yang yesterday.
Mang Yu also said: "I don't know what the road is, Mrs. heard the old lady say this, and actually responded, the second aunt and grandmother took advantage of the opportunity to say, Mrs. just said that as long as you copy the Buddhist scriptures, you can be good, and the girl naturally does not dare to disobey and shirk. ”
Alas, foolish lady, what kind heart can that young man have, why did the lady listen to it? After listening to the words of those people, he turned around and tossed Miss, what is this called!
Mangyu was anxious.
It turns out that the man said something like this!
Zhou Baolu also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but in the end, she was her own mother, and she had to be coaxed to protect her, Zhou Baolu only smiled and said to Mang Yu: "Thank you Sister Mangyu, I guess my mother also told my sister not to tell me, don't worry, I won't shout." ”
Mang Yu hurriedly squatted down to thank him, and then he had the courage to say: "The slave maid is because she thinks that the lady should not listen to those people, but she came to the young lady like this, saying something that the slave and the maid should not say. ”
Zhou Baolu is not like other masters, even if he agrees in his heart, he has to scold in his mouth: "Can you say this too?" Instead, he smiled and nodded: "If you think like this, I'm relieved, no matter how nice the words are, my grandmother is my stepmother, and I am my mother's only daughter, who can be closer to me?" Sister Mangyu is always by her mother's side, and whatever she hears in the future, whether it is good or bad, just come and tell me, and I have believed you. ”
Following the young lady, it must have a future than following the lady, Mang Yu was originally a slave of the Chen family, and his grandfather is still the steward of the Wu'an Hou Mansion to buy and buy, otherwise Mrs. Chen Zeng would not trust her, and chose her to serve by Chen's side, at this time, after listening to Zhou Baolu's words, she quickly knelt down and responded, Zhou Baolu rewarded her with a few taels of silver and told her to go back to the main room.
Early the next morning, the courtyard where the eldest lady Zhou Baolu lived was lively early in the morning, with chickens flying and dogs jumping, and only a number of people were heard talking at the same time, chattering.
"Quick, move a few more candle heads here!"
"A little more mess on the table! It's not like that! ”
"Put the Buddhist scriptures here, hey, hide them better, forget it, I'll ...... Don't show it at the bottom, just the two above can be seen...... Don't show your stuffing. ”
"Use the whitest powder, ouch, you're stupid, wouldn't it be gray if you adjust a little eyebrow powder! Give Miss an extra layer. ”
"I'll paint Miss's eyes, I promise to look like a bamboo bear!"
“…… Poof, you're going to die, say Miss! ”
"Hey, miss, don't laugh, if you move, the slave won't be able to draw well."
"Dead hoof, who told you to make Miss laugh, you are still serious this time!"
"Hurry up and draw a few more scraps and throw them on the ground, throw them around!"
“……”
All the maids couldn't hold their hands, laughing while busy, and after a while, the room was messy, and there were some good rough-edged paper with some ink balls painted on the ground, and on the table, seven or eight candle heads, a large circle of melted wax tears around, and several stacks of "written" Buddhist scriptures were piled up on the table, and there were a lot of pens and inkstones.
Zhou Baolu looked around and felt quite satisfied, so he said, "It's not appropriate for you to go, it's better to call a little girl." ”
Zhu Tang comprehended, and went to the gate of the courtyard and called a ten-year-old girl named Xiaoting: "You hurry up and run to the main room, quietly return to Mrs., the eldest lady refuses to sleep all night, she has to copy some Buddhist scriptures, and it is easy to fall asleep on the fifth watch. ”
Saying that, she made another look, the little girl was also smart, otherwise Zhu Tang would not have looked for her, she was a little stunned at first, and then saw Zhu Tang's eyes, she understood most of it, and said with a smile: "I know what I know, sister rest assured." ”
A puff of smoke went to the main room.
