Chapter 7: The Storm
The envy in Hua'er's words Yanran heard it very clearly, and she re-threaded the needle and thread before saying: "It is said that the old aunt should have been sealed a long time ago, if it weren't for the ...... this time" Because Aunt Wu did not get the seal, the seal of the second Mrs. Zeng was also delayed, if it wasn't for the mother of the second Mrs. Zeng to come over and talk tactfully with Mrs. Zeng this time, I am afraid that the old lady Zeng will still hold it.
After all, it's nothing if Aunt Wu can't get a seal, but Mrs. Zeng doesn't have a seal, so it's not good to say. Counting the old lady Zeng has also received several seals, tired of being sealed to Mrs. Yipin, and she has to suppress the seal of Aunt Wu, this mood, Yan Ran can guess and it is not easy to say it to Hua'er. He stopped and said: "The old aunt has been sealed, and then your sister and their close service will also increase their monthly money!" ”
The maids around my aunt are only 500 yuan each, which is the same as the maids around Mrs. Zeng who specialize in chores. Although there are four of them around Aunt Wu, there are two more maids than ordinary aunts, but Xiaochan's monthly money is the same as before, and there is no difference.
"Don't talk about the monthly money, it's not the same as usual!" Speaking of this, the flowers rejoiced, Yanran listened to the flowers talking there, the smile on her face was very light, the flowers they bought from outside like this, it was really a little different.
"Hey, Hua'er, I don't see you talking to Sister Qingdang in front, but I'm here to accompany Yanran, your nose is smart enough!" There was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and then Guo'er walked to the door of the house and said coldly to the flowers.
"I'm just here to send silk thread to Sister Yanran, and by the way, I'll talk to her for a while, what will it become in your mouth?" Every time Hua'er and Guo'er see each other, they will inevitably quarrel, Yanran is used to it, and gets up to greet Guo'er: "Is there anything going on?" You're going to come down now? Sit down, I'll find you something to eat!" ”
Guo'er glared at Hua'er, sat on the seat where Yanran was sitting, picked up the purse embroidered by Yanran, and praised it in her mouth: "Yanran, you embroider so well, no wonder the old lady values you!" ”
"It's just a little more careful than you!" Yanran picked up the teapot and poured tea for Guo'er, Hua'er saw that Guo'er was holding a purse in one hand and picking up tea with the other, thinking about giving Guo'er a faceless, and deliberately sighed with a stomachache, and didn't wait for Yanran to come over and hugged her stomach with her hand, and when she hugged her stomach, her arm deliberately turned on the hand where Guo'er took the tea.
Guo'er was limped by the flowers, oops, the tea in his hand has been poured all over his hands, Guo'er didn't care about his hands being burned, he was afraid that the purse was splashed by the tea, and hurriedly looked down at the purse, and then he couldn't help but scream in his heart that it was not good, there were already tea stains on the purse, and the purse was indigo, and it could not be used after washing.
Guo'er's eyes were full of tears, if this purse was a normal purse, it would be okay, but it was Mrs. Zeng who told Yanran to let Yanran embroider it for Mrs. Zeng San, and said to Yanran: "Sister, I wet your purse, I'll go and make amends to the old lady!" ”
Yanran asked Hua'er, Hua'er was already pretending to have a stomachache, and she just wanted to turn the fruit, but who knew that Yanran's purse was wet, and then the old lady would blame it, and it was inevitable that she would have to eat and hang up, so she couldn't help but scream louder, and said to Yanran: "Sister Yanran, I'll go to the thatched house first!" After saying that, Hua'er took a piece of straw paper and hurried to the thatched house.
"This little hoof, if you get into trouble, you will slip away, Yanran, you shouldn't be good with her!" Guo'er's face turned red, and he turned to Yanran and said with some dissatisfaction.
Yanran glanced at the purse and said to Guo'er soothingly: "I'll go and tell the old lady about this, it's not a big deal, what are you doing in such a panic?" ”
"But......" Guo'er's voice was a little low: "Sister Qingdang is thinking about picking your thorns these days!" ”
"You, you don't care about other things, you remember these things so clearly! We are nothing but servants of our masters. If you want to pick on someone else's thorn, the most important thing is to serve the master well! You don't know the old lady's temper, and she is the most generous and kind. You can rest assured. ”
Guo'er's face was still a little uncertain, Yanran patted her hand and took the purse to the top, Guo'er sat at the door with a small bench, waiting with her eyes blank. Hua'er squatted in the thatched house for a long time, and then came out, and when she came out, she saw Guo'er sitting at the door and tiptoed up: "Don't worry, Yanran is different from us, the old lady will not say anything!" ”
Guo'er glared at her fiercely: "You are in trouble, you are used to talking about people at this time, usually a sister is so sweet, at this time, you don't pay attention to anything!" ”
"Doesn't I have a stomachache?" Hua'er died in the end, and Guo'er didn't want to pay attention to her, so the car turned around and carried it to her.
When Yanran came to the front, she heard that there was a fight inside, and now she was afraid that Aunt Wu had won, and she was listening to her say some flattering words to Mrs. Zeng there. Yanran's footsteps couldn't help but stop, Aunt Wu is like this, she is already very blessed, her son can still be sealed if he wears gold and silver, but what is it compared to Mrs. Zeng? Besides, in the past three generations of the Hou Mansion, the male protagonists have had concubines and aunts who have been in the room, etc., there are not hundreds, but there are always fifty or sixty, and there is only one such a blessing.
Yanran lowered her head and walked in, standing behind Old Madam Zeng as usual. Mrs. Zeng had already said: "Yanran, you came just in time, show me the cards!" Yan Ran should have walked up, Aunt Wu had already smiled and said: "But if I win Mrs. a string of money, Mrs. will ask Mrs. to help look at the cards, I, simply give this money to Mrs., Mrs. will not want Yan Ran to look at the cards!" ”
Mrs. Zeng showed the card in her hand to Yanran, and asked Yanran to see which one she was going to make, but she said to Aunt Wu: "Your monthly money will rise next month, what's wrong with giving me some shares?" Aunt Wu pursed her lips and smiled: "I, too, is also Mrs. Tuo's blessing, if it weren't for Mrs. You, I wouldn't have increased my monthly money!" ”
Since Aunt Wu wants to increase the monthly money, it seems that the matter of the seal is accurate, Yan Ran whispered to Mrs. Zeng which card should be played, and thought in her heart.
Qing Dang took Xiao Huan up to change the tea for everyone, Xiao Huan saw the purse hidden in Yan Ran's hand at a glance, and looked at Qing Dang, how could Qing Dang not understand what Xiao Huan meant, and said with a smile: "The old aunt is right, in this family, not everyone has to trust the old lady's blessings?" ”
These words made Mrs. Zeng's face smile, and Qing Zhong said again: "If you want to talk about TOEFL, Sister Yanran is the most TOEFL, by the old lady's side, I can't leave you now!" ”
"Hey, what you said is the same as the green bell you tasted!" Mrs. Zeng, who was accompanying Mrs. Zeng to make a corner, put down a card and laughed and had fun.
"Third wife, what you said, I want to dismiss it, don't say that Sister Yanran is so pretty, just say that she has a good needle and thread, and we can't compare." Qingdang's face smiled more and more cheerfully, which made Aunt Wu say to Mrs. Zeng with a sigh: "The needle and thread that Mrs. looks at must be different, and I don't know if I have this blessing, please also ask Miss Yanran to embroider one!" ”
"Yanran, you go and bring the purse you embroidered for the third aunt and show it to the old aunt!" Mrs. Zeng instructed Yan Ran, and then said to Aunt Wu: "However, if you want to bother this girl, I won't follow it!" ”
"Look, we're just not blessed!" Aunt Wu deliberately said to Mrs. Zeng San that Mrs. Zeng San knew that she would look at Yanran when she smiled.
When Qingdang opened her mouth to speak, Yanran didn't expect it to go around to herself, but when she spoke, Yanran felt that something was wrong, and when she saw everyone looking at her, Yanran couldn't help but be a little impatient, but she quickly calmed down and said to Mrs. Zeng: "Sister Fang Cai Qingdang also said that I was careful, but I just said that I was slapping my mouth, Fang Cai's purse was almost embroidered, my mouth was a little dry, and I didn't pay attention when I got up to pour tea, and splashed the tea on the purse." Take it now, and ask the old lady to forgive me for my sins! ”
Saying that, Yanran knelt down, presented the purse to Mrs. Zeng with both hands, Qingdang wanted to step forward and take the purse to Mrs. Zeng, Mrs. Zeng had already picked up the purse, and after looking at it, she said: "You girl, you are honest, I will let you hurry, you will do it day and night, look at this time, but you have done it wrong." Get up, don't do this next time, and if you do it again, I'll punish you for embroidering a purse for each of us!" ”
Yan Ran did not ignore the disappointment that flashed in the green bell when Mrs. Zeng spoke, and only stood up after thanking Mrs. Zeng Yanran, Aunt Wu had already taken the purse from Mrs. Zeng's hand, and praised after looking at it: "Sure enough, the craftsmanship is good, the stitches are so dense in such a hurry, I couldn't catch up when I was young!" It's that the red jade can catch up with a few points! ”
"Are you confused about winning today? Isn't Yanran Hongyu's granddaughter? This hand needlework, I'm afraid that Hongyu has taught some of it! Mrs. Zeng's words made Aunt Wu gently pat her forehead with her hand: "I forgot, damn it, damn it, that lady doesn't dislike me for being old and confused, do you want to fight cards?" ”
"Yes, of course, I want to win the money back from you!" Mrs. Zeng continued to play cards as she spoke, and Mrs. Zeng San also made a few interesting words on the side. Yan Ran's heart was put down and she continued to serve beside her, but occasionally when she saw Qing Dang's face, Yan Ran's hand was still clenched subconsciously.
"Tell me, what's going on with that purse today?" After fighting for a while, Mrs. Zeng said that she was tired, and asked them all to go back, she wanted to rest, and when she leaned on the couch, Mrs. Zeng asked Yanran to beat her legs, and asked calmly with her eyes closed.
"I know that I can't hide anything from you, old lady!" Yanran's words made Mrs. Zeng open her eyes, and then smiled: "Your grandmother is not as good at talking as you, in fact, I can guess that those little girls, one by one, have nothing to do, just like the immature cats and dogs, always thinking about scratching a paw!" ”
