Chapter 26: Iron Tree Alley
On the night of going home, Zhou Baolu took a big orange, rested it on the windowsill, and closed the window with a smile.
With a place, it is not difficult to check things, Zhou Baolu thought about it all night, and ordered Sakura early the next morning: "You make a clever way, quietly call Aunt Wang Zhilu Dao Tieshu Hutong, don't make her suspicious." ”
Sakura is the best at doing these, not to mention in her own house, even in someone else's house, she also has a lot of deep connections, no matter what you inquire about, or do something, it's very easy.
After listening to what Zhou Baolu said, he should come down and go out by himself.
Sakura's movements were the most neat, but she came back in half an hour to return to her life: "The red silk in Aunt Wang's house almost didn't kneel down and begged me, and gave me a silver bracelet, and I gave her the four words Tieshu Hutong half-concealed." ”
Zhou Baolu pursed her lips and smiled, this narrow girl must have deliberately pretended to leak her mouth, coaxing the people in Aunt Wang's house.
Sakura smiled and said: "Miss guessed wrong this time, I found Bai Xiang who was waiting in the kitchen to do it for me, she begged me to make up for the lack of a second-class maid, now I remembered that she came, so I pointed her to this clear way, and asked her to take this news to do the step of the body, only to say that when I delivered the meal, I secretly heard what Miss said to people, but I couldn't hear it really, this little girl is also clever, and I don't know how to make it around them, and after a while, Red Silk came to talk to me." ”
This girl is really getting more and more clever, and she handed out the news again, and did favors again, and she is strange that people are good everywhere, she is really good at making face and lining, and she will make good connections, and naturally her own connections will be good.
Aunt Wang got the news and immediately sent the maid out to send something to her mother's house, Zhou Baolu laughed secretly in her heart, this is really impatient.
Zhou Baolu had no manpower outside the house, but this did not bother her, she weighed it, and went to sit in the room of her aunt Zhang, and after lunch, Zhou Anming sent a little maid to send her a letter.
Take it apart and look at it, it turns out to be like this. It's strange that Zhou Jilin wants to be kept outside!
Speaking of which, Aunt Wang's maiden brother is also powerful, only half a day later than Zhou Baolu's news, and early the next morning, Aunt Wang came to the main room crying.
Zhou Baolu got up early in the morning, and listened to Sakura come in with a gossip on her face and said, "Aunt Wang went to Madame to cry." ”
Zhou Baolu's mood suddenly improved, this is Aunt Wang's own death!
She was not in a hurry, and when the maid combed her hair and got dressed, she said, "Madame won't have dinner there, just go to the kitchen and send me some breakfast, Sakura, you go to Madame's place to inquire, and when you see that you are almost crying, you will call me." ”
The maids didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Miss Ludao's gourd, but Miss was quirky and couldn't say that there were many tricks, so they all nodded honestly, and Sakura went to guard herself.
After a while, breakfast came, the eldest lady's rules have always been with the ancestors, there is no arrangement, only obey the instructions, although growing up with Zeng's family, Zhou Baolu did not follow the Jiangnan flavor, but with Chen Xiqing, like to eat spicy and other things, although not like Chen Xiqing's hot pot in the morning, but the morning beef noodles and the like are also common.
As soon as breakfast was finished here, Zhu Tang persuaded Zhou Baolu to drink a cup of chrysanthemum tea, and Sakura came in and said with a smile: "Miss is okay." ”
That seems to be the fire.
Aunt Wang's face looked good, but early this morning, she didn't make up, her crying face was yellow and a little swollen, as if it wasn't better, and when she saw Zhou Baolu coming in the door, she didn't dare to take it as big as before, so she stood up busily, pinching the handkerchief and just wiping her tears.
Chen sat on the kang and choked up.
Zhou Baolu sighed in her heart, what is there to cry about this kind of thing! Aunt Wang should cry and cry, what can her mother do to cry so sincerely!
But if you want to come to Chen's temperament, you have to cry if you have nothing to do, at this time, it is naturally inevitable, Zhou Baolu sat next to Chen's side and said: "Mother, what's the matter, it's early in the morning, what's not happy?" ”
He turned back to Aunt Wang and said, "Why is my aunt crying here, what happened?" ”
Aunt Wang didn't dare to speak, Chen hugged Zhou Baolu, crying more and more, Zhou Baolu asked two more questions, Chen just cried and shook his head, and only said for a long time: "This is an adult's business, and it has nothing to do with your children." ”
Zhou Baolu became irritable: "Everyone is crying, and they don't tell what's wrong, what is this going to do?" And my aunt is also, knowing that my mother is not in good health, the doctor has repeatedly said that it will cause my mother to cry, but I am afraid that it will become worse and worse, my aunt does not believe it, according to me, if there is any grievance, you should endure it, and now if there is something to do, I will come to the room to cry, causing my mother to cry, how to get it. ”
This eldest lady has nothing to do and has to kick three times, if she doesn't speak again, I'm afraid that there will be some charges to be placed on her body, Aunt Wang is really afraid of her, and gave Zhou Baolu such a reprimand, and said honestly: "Miss Mingjian, I just heard some rumors, because it is an important matter, I dare not go back to Mrs., but this rumor is mixed with a lot of pickled words, the eldest lady is a boudoir girl, I really dare not go back to the eldest lady." ”
Zhou Baolu said: "Those rules are just outside, when I am outside, I naturally hear some pickled words, I can only go away, but now at home, there is no one, you don't come back to my mother, now you have to go back and forth, I can see my mother crying like this, how can I not ask, you say it as soon as possible is serious." ”
Aunt Wang went to see Chen, where did Chen have the slightest idea, just crying, Aunt Wang also knew that the mother of the Taoist was a Bodhisattva, the most prejudiced, so she went back to her, except for crying There is no other ability, this room really wants to discuss things and this thirteen-year-old girl, so she said: "These days, the prince is often not in the house, I don't dare to ask the reason, only the former son of the prince rested in the study, I saw that it was snowing, and sent the maid to send the prince to send ginseng tea, The maid heard what the new aunt Zhou Fu and Zhou Cai were talking about in the words of the little maid who followed the prince out of the house, and there were many words that did not dare to return to the eldest lady, and I didn't dare to believe it, so I sent someone to inquire quietly, it turned out that the prince bought a house in the Tieshu Hutong in the south of the house and raised a new aunt. After hearing this, I didn't know what to do, and I didn't dare to hide it from my wife, so I had to go back and forth from my wife. ”
Zhou Baolu said: "So that's the case, according to me, it's not a big deal, who doesn't have an aunt in each family, since your father can accept you, you can accept a new aunt, what is there to cry about." ”
Zhou Jilin already has three aunts, the most favored Aunt Wang, Aunt Jin, who gave birth to Zhou Baoqi, and a personal maid who originally served him, Liu Er, who was a roommate, also carried her aunt after Chen entered the door, but Aunt Liu was one year older than Zhou Jilin, and she had no heirs, and now she is not coming out in the backyard.
Chen spoke at this time: "Lu'er, what does your girl's family know, Aunt Na is not a big deal, it's just that this outer room, hiding from his parents and wife, there must be something in the middle that can't enter the house, once it comes out, how can it be done." ”
Zhou Baolu still didn't care: "If that's the case, then bring it into the house, and it's over." ”
Aunt Wang spoiled the inner house, seeing that Zhou Jilin had a newcomer, it was normal to cry, but Zhou Jilin had not been in the same room with the Chen family for five years, Zhou Baolu really didn't know what Lu Daoniang had to cry about, many favored aunts, how good the effect was, Aunt Wang was suddenly much more honest.
This kind of trick of favoring, except for the princess, what lady wouldn't know?
Not to mention the ready-made favored outer room, there is no such thing, the housewife opened her face to her maid, lifted it up, and gave it to the master to suppress other concubines, which is also commonplace in each family.
is like an aunt, taking advantage of Aunt Hua's pregnancy, the big girl next to her, Lan Xi, opened her face and gave it to her uncle, Aunt Hua is much more honest these days.
Aunt Wang grabbed Chen's words, and immediately said: "What Mrs. said is, reasoning, which girl does the prince want to admit into the door, we are nothing more than multiple sisters, and we are only happy, but now the prince is kept secretively outside, it is inevitable that people will speculate whether there is something important wrong, and nothing else, if it accidentally comes out for a while, everyone has no defense, and no one knows what is going on, in case it hinders the future of the prince?" Besides, even if it has nothing to do with the future, how can the princess be angry when he calls the princess and the horse master knows that the prince will stop his wife and remarry behind his parents' back? Even the people we serve, and some of them are not. Now that we know the way, let's ask clearly, and then take precautions, Mrs. said but? ”
This Aunt Wang's mouth is really sharp.
This passage is reasonable and modest, considerate and aggrieved, it seems that people have been favored for ten years or there is still a truth in someone's family, at least they can speak and know how to be considerate, and their vision is destined to be not high because of their origin, but they are still quite outstanding in the subsections.
Zhou Baolu hurriedly said before Chen spoke: "Or my aunt has a plan, what I said is very true, no matter what happens to this matter, you have to know the beginning and the end, and it is important to know yourself and the other. ”
Aunt Wang was dumbfounded, why is this eldest lady so scoundrel!
That time, he scolded and wanted to take away his own stewardship, but now that there is something, he has become the aunt who knows how to take care of things, and he will send himself to come out, and if he makes trouble in the future, there will be a ready-made black pot.
