Chapter 96: Doubts
Grandma Yang was already jokingly laughing on the side: "What I said is that Uncle Chu is the most amiable person, and when he sees us, he will call each other." Grandma Rong, when you first got married, it was not the same as when you were in the boudoir, and when you were in the future, you will know how to be as shy as a daughter-in-law as when you were a girl? ”
Yan Ran only smiled lightly and didn't say anything. Grandma Chu was there to observe her words and looks, and when she saw that Yanran didn't say anything, she smiled and said: "Aunt Yang, Grandma Rong is from a big family, gentle and shy, and has known etiquette since childhood, which is different from us people. Grandma Yang also smiled and said a few words, Uncle Chu listened outside the door, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, but this is nothing, as long as he can step into his house and meet once, there is a chance. In the past few years, I have never seen a woman who is not interested in herself.
Thinking about Uncle Chu, he spoke: "You girls want to talk together, then I will leave first!" "Why didn't Grandma Chu understand what Uncle Chu meant, she got up with a smile and went out to pretend to see him off, Uncle Chu glanced at Grandma Chu, and Grandma Chu understood. When he stepped into the hall, he saw Grandma Yang and Yanran looking at the tricks, and Grandma Chu said with a smile: "When he goes out, I'm afraid he won't come back for lunch, so it's better for a few of us to have lunch at my house, so as not to make people angry and cause trouble when they go back." ”
Grandma Yang didn't know that this was a plan, and it wasn't the first time she had eaten at Grandma Chu's place, so she smiled and said: "It's just right, the mother-in-law who cooks in my family has taken a leave of absence today, and the maids at home are not good, and I still wonder if I will have a meal at my sister-in-law's house last week." ”
Grandma Yang agreed, and Yanran agreed. Grandma Chu went to the kitchen to let people prepare some wine and rice, and then walked back to the hall and talked to Yanran about who embroidered well and who tattooed well. Seeing that Yanran just listened to them with a smile on her lips, and occasionally only interjected a sentence or two, Grandma Chu couldn't help but wonder if she was revealing something? But soon Grandma Chu shook her head in her heart, over the years, from pretending to be a boudoir girl to pretending to be a woman, which person was suspicious?
Thinking about it, Yanran is self-contained, after all, she has been in the Hou Mansion for so many years, thinking that Grandma Chu can't help but feel disdainful, but she is just a waiter, what are you doing pretending to be such a young lady? But no matter how disdainful she was in her heart, the smile on Grandma Chu's face did not change for half a minute, and she greeted Grandma Yang and Yanran more enthusiastically.
Yan Ran only carefully observed the actions of Chu Yang and the others, and said that when interacting with people, you must always be distracted, and you can't just look at the good is good. The three of them have their own thoughts, but in the eyes of outsiders, the more they talk, the more lively they become. After a while, the kitchen sent wine and rice, and Grandma Chu invited the two of them to sit down, and when she saw that there was a plate of braised elbows inside, she asked the maid: "I remember if there is no braised elbows, where did this come from?" ”
"Uncle Fang just came back again, and the grandmother who listened to it wanted to keep Grandma Yang and Grandma Rong for dinner, so she asked people to go to the cooked food shop outside to buy it, and said that the elbow of this family can't be bought if it's late, and it's a coincidence today."
The maid replied there, and Grandma Yang had already nodded: "Sister-in-law Chu, if Uncle Chu is really thoughtful, my family only knows how to eat, how do you know how to buy things and come back to entertain guests." ”
"It's just a small thing, how can you worry about it?" Grandma Chu couldn't help but secretly say in her heart It's a pity, Grandma Yang is a lively person, but it's a pity that she was born badly, not to mention, family affairs are normal, married to the youngest son who has been single, those things in the room, plus a piece, are only three or four hundred taels, this bit of silver, how can you still look at it?
Grandma Chu thought in her heart, and her eyes slid from the small silverfish earrings worn by Grandma Yang's ears to the pair of garnet earrings in Yanran's ears.
What's more, only the bones that are difficult to gnaw will become more and more fragrant after gnawing. Grandma Chu smiled on her face, Grandma Yang said a few words on the side, and Yanran occasionally replied a few words, this meal, the guests and hosts who ate it were happy.
When the people dispersed, Uncle Chu strode into the house while he was still cleaning up, and when he saw him coming in, Grandma Chu gave the maid a look and walked into the back room with Uncle Chu. After closing the window, Grandma Chu smiled and said: "See, this one, but he is really so chaste and fierce, I don't take a look at you like this." ”
This made Uncle Chu stretch out his hand and slapped a hammer in Grandma Chu's ear before saying: "I'm afraid that she is not like this, the more she is like this, the more flavorful she is." Saying that, Uncle Chu was about to hug Grandma Chu, but Grandma Chu pushed him: "You can be careful." I looked at the surname Wan, but I was afraid that I couldn't wait, just like that. ”
"Don't worry, the more chaste and fierce she is, as soon as she hooks up, she will do whatever she wants." Uncle Chu didn't care, the maid had already walked to the curtain and whispered, "Master, the maid of the Wanjia family asked if grandma was there?" ”
This is Grandma Wan's pain of being unable to hold back her lovesickness, Grandma Chu glanced at Uncle Chu, and then said to the maid: "I'm naturally not here." With that, Grandma Chu walked to the bedside, lifted a picture of a beauty, and walked out through the small door behind the picture. Uncle Chu hurriedly glanced at the mirror, this is rare, it kills two birds with one stone.
Yanran also drank two glasses of wine when she was in Chu's house, and when she came back to clean up, she took a nap, and just after taking a nap, she heard someone talking outside, Yanran listened carefully, but felt that the person who spoke was a little strange, and lifted the tent and asked, "Who is outside?" ”
The maid had already walked in: "Grandma, is Grandma Wan passing by, saying come in and see if grandma is at home?" "Grandma Wan? Yanran's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, Grandma Wan has been looking at herself unpleasantly, how could she come here at this time? But Yanran still packed up and walked out.
Grandma Wan was sitting there drinking tea, and when she saw Yanran coming out, she took a closer look at Yanran, and when she was happy with Uncle Chu, Uncle Chu deliberately pretended to leak her mouth, saying that she saw that the garnet earrings worn by Yanran were very good-looking, and if they could be worn on Grandma Wan's ears, they would definitely increase their appearance. Then he said that if he was really younger, he would look better.
Grandma Wan's heart was ignited when she was jealous, and when she left the Chu family, she hurriedly came to the Rong family, wanting to see why Yanran fell into Uncle Chu's eyes? At this moment, seeing Yanran walk out, because Fang woke up, his face was still light red, and he looked at the delicate dripping.
Grandma Wan's jealousy became deeper and deeper, and she really wanted to tear off the smile on Yanran's face, thinking about Grandma Wan's voice, she couldn't help but be a little harsh: "Hey, Grandma Rong is really a newlywed Yan'er, I want to be tired at night, and I sleep with the door closed during this big day." ”
Yan Ran was still about to salute, when she heard Grandma Wan's words, Yan Ran's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, but she still said: "It's just that when Grandma Chu was eating, I drank a few glasses of wine and was a little sleepy." snubbed Grandma Wan. ”
Hearing the word Chu, Grandma Wan's brows furrowed even tighter, and then she said: "It turns out that at noon, you were having lunch at Chu's house, why was Grandma Chu not there when I passed?" This strange sentence made Yan Ran can't help but look at Grandma Wan, Grandma Wan also felt that she was too much, if Yan Ran looked at it, it would not be good, and hurriedly covered up: "I got a new piece of material before, I want Grandma Chu to help take a look, what style is good, Xing Chong brought the material over, who knew that she was not at home, even Uncle Chu was not at home." ”
This latter sentence is purely a snake painting, even if Yanran doesn't want to be suspicious, when she hears this, she has to be a little confused. Grandma Wan didn't feel appropriate when she said the latter sentence, so she hurriedly covered up and said: "My family often says that Uncle Chu is kind and knows everything, and they say that they want to learn more from Uncle Chu." ”
Yanran sighed, Grandma Wan already had a ghost in her heart, so it was not good to sit again, she was about to say goodbye after a few words, Yanran sent her out, just as Rong Qi also came back, and saw that Grandma Wan knew that it was a neighbor, and nodded to Grandma Wan.
When Grandma Wan saw Rong Qi, she couldn't help but think of Uncle Chu's words again, and said to Rong Qi: "Grandma Rong is so beautiful, Rong Sanye, you are so blessed, it's just such a delicate woman, in a family like ours with shallow houses and few people, it can't help but be a little ......."
Saying that, Grandma Wan felt that this was too explicit, after all, it was just Uncle Chu who praised Yanran, and there was nothing else to say, but when she and Uncle Chu got along, didn't they often come and go? In order to be able to stay with Uncle Chu for a long time, I also have to remind Rong Qi again.
Thinking of Grandma Wan, he said again: "Always, it's better to stay at home more." After saying this, Grandma Wan also said goodbye and left. Rong Qi's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, Yan Ran had already walked in when she was changing her clothes, took Rong Qi's changed clothes and put them away and asked, "You came back early today, what do you want to eat for dinner, I'll let you do it on the stove." ”
Although Yanran was born as a maid, she served so closely, and it was not bad to do needlework, but she didn't know anything about the things under the stove, and Rong Qi didn't expect Yanran to cook for herself, so she stretched out and said: "Well, the old man called me at noon today, and ate some snacks at his place, I'm not hungry at this time, what you want to eat, let the stove do it." ”
Rong Qi was a blessing in disguise at this time, and that statement entered the eunuch's ears, and when he sent the silver, he was summoned by the eunuch, and praised Rong Qi in front of Master Rong, and sometimes asked Rong Qi to talk to him.
Yan Ran listened and said, "Didn't the old man talk to you a few days ago, what is he doing today?" ”
"That's a strange thing to say!" Since Yan Ran asked, Rong Qi also threw what Grandma Wan said in her ears, what kind of character her daughter-in-law is, Rong Qi still understands very well. The glory and wealth of the Hou Mansion can't be impressed, let alone others?
"What's the odd thing?" Seeing that Rong Qi only said this sentence and stopped talking, Yanran couldn't help frowning and asked. Rong Qi came out of his thoughts before he smiled and said: "This old grandfather has a brother in his hometown, and the family is doing well in the township with the kindness of the old man." This strange thing is the grandnephew of this old grandfather, his niece and granddaughter were sixteen last year, and she was originally going to be married, but when she went to the theater last year, she was abducted. ”
The author has something to say: Listening to the drama here is not to go to other people's houses to listen to the play, but to listen to that kind of wild play, which is a very unruly practice.
