177 beating
The group arrived at Zhuangzi before noon, and it was not the first time to come, Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law was already familiar with the old lady to go, and a few words coaxed the old lady to smile, and she was in a good mood.
"Old lady, I just caught a roe deer in Zhuangzi, and I'll make braised ones for you to taste." Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law waited diligently.
The old lady listened to Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law tell interesting stories about Zhuangzi, listened to it with relish, and nodded happily.
The second girl and the third girl also got out of the carriage, and the second girl came for the first time, and everything she saw was fresh, and her eyes couldn't stop looking left and right, and it was not enough.
"Is this the Zhuangzi with a hot spring? Then I want to soak in the hot springs, people say that soaking in the hot springs will make my skin better. The second girl planned with a smile on her face, and planned to take a good turn.
The third girl smiled and said: "But isn't it, we all played last time, I told you it's fun, there are a lot of things to play, we have to live for a month this time, some are time to play, I'll take you to the barbecue when I go back, I will grill the fish, but unfortunately there are not many fish now, but you can roast game to eat, and it is also very good to have game in the backyard forest, we can toss and worry about it." ”
The second girl blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "Why, wouldn't we be blamed for messing up the eldest aunt?" ”
The third girl covered her mouth and smiled secretly, leaning into her ear and saying: "This Zhuangzi aunt has given the sixth sister as a dowry, and now the sixth sister has taken care of it herself. ”
Only then did the second girl understand, and she glanced at Yang Lan narrowly, and the bricks muttered to the third girl again. The two of them laughed like little mice stealing oil and eating.
Yang Lan leaned over for some reason. "What do you say?"
"We said we would have a good toss on your dowry Zhuangzi. You won't have an opinion, right? The sauna girl looked at her deliberately defiantly.
Yang Lan couldn't cry or laugh, "What tricks can you toss with this little skill, although it doesn't matter if you play, let's take a rest first, go to the hot springs at night and sleep well, I'll take you to play tomorrow." "I'm the best at playing with a child's head.
The three girls nodded again and again, this girl can play and play, and she always has the most bizarre ideas. It can always make everyone have fun and return satisfied.
"Then where do I live, I've heard, they all have their own yards, where do I live? I'm also going to choose a nice and beautiful yard, you can't pull me down. "The second girl heard in the carriage that several younger sisters have their own fixed yards, but they don't have them, and they are anxious about something.
Yang Lan smiled and took her hand and walked towards Zhuangzi, "What are you anxious about, I have already planned it." I'll give you that plum garden to live in, and now it's just right. There are a lot of plum trees in Zhuangzi that have bloomed now, the fragrance is fragrant, the scenery is very good, and the flowers in their yard are not good-looking, you don't have to envy. ”
The second girl was immediately happy by her, and there was more color of anticipation in her eyes, "Really, such a beautiful scenery and we will make tea in the yard to eat, I don't think it's very cold, make tea and write poems under the plum tree, don't be too elegant." "When I think about it, I'm very excited.
"Okay, you can do it anytime, not today, I've been in the carriage for the morning, and I'll have a good rest today." Yang Lan nodded in agreement.
The old lady was waited by Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law to go to the peony garden where she used to live, and she didn't need the children to serve, so she let them play by herself, and made an appointment to go to the hot spring at night.
Yang Lan personally settled a few sisters to live in, and the daughter of the tenant in Zhuangzi was wise enough to wait in the courtyard and do some chores. After all the troubles, he went back to his small courtyard to rest.
In the afternoon, Yang Lan and several sisters got together and had a lively meal with the old lady, and Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law told jokes and funny during the banquet, and the meal was very happy.
After eating, Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law asked her to collect the dishes and chopsticks, and the old lady took a sip of tea and said to Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law: "Zhang Lu's family, this Zhuangzi will marry with Lan'er in the future, do you know?" She held the teacup, slowly sipped the side with the lid, and looked at Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law unhurriedly, with a kind face and a gentle smile.
Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law stood in front of the kang, folded her hands on her lower abdomen, and her attitude was respectful and polite, "The slave already knows, the princess has already sent someone to say it, and we will follow the county lord to do things well in the future." ”
The old lady smiled, gently put the tea bowl on the table, and knocked out a sound, Zhang Lujia's heart chuckled, could it be that she said the wrong thing, the old lady was not satisfied, but it was not difficult to serve, and she was very good at talking.
"My granddaughter is the most filial and sensible, I and her mother are not in love, for fear that she will be wronged a little, especially the Hou Ye is even more spoiled to the sky, I heard that you two are very capable, very polite and obedient, I hope that in the future, as always, conscientiously do not do something to disappoint us, what do you think?" The old lady looked at Zhang Lu with a smile.
Zhang Lu only felt that the sweat on his back had come down, it couldn't be that he had collected some medicinal materials in the forest in the past and was discovered, he had to talk to that mouth when he went back, he couldn't look at the county lord and slacked off, otherwise he would have to be cleaned up by Princess Hou sooner or later, even the old lady was afraid that she would not be able to pass this pass.
"Old lady, don't worry, you don't know what kind of people we are, we will definitely serve the county lord well in the future, and we will not disappoint Princess Hou." Zhang Lujia hurriedly expressed his position.
"Well, you also saw what happened to the steward in the northeast last time, don't forget the pain if you don't have a good scar, as long as you serve the county lord well, your good is indispensable for serious work, the princess and the marquis are not stingy people, you also know this, don't you? Isn't the profit from the medicinal herbs in the forest given to you every year? The old lady was clearly aware of their every move.
Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law really sweated this time, and kowtowed again and again, "Old lady Mingjian, the two of us don't dare to have any other ideas except for this matter, the son is going to marry a daughter-in-law, this is a last resort, and the slave really doesn't mean to steal." She was frightened, she didn't expect the old lady to know that her family had stuck a small part of the medicinal herbs she had sold.
The old lady smiled, "One hundred and eighty taels is nothing, when I came, the princess said that it was a reward for you, but only this time I don't take it as an example, I'm too old to take care of things, but I can't allow others to bully my granddaughter, do you understand?" She looked at Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law condescendingly, and said seriously.
"Yes, yes. Nubi must be careful, the princess is kind, the old lady is charitable, the slave knows that she can't hide it from her master, and she planned to make up for it after the New Year, but she didn't expect it to ....... Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law sweated on her head.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, looking at the old lady's kind eyebrows, why did she suddenly get into trouble, scared her to death, fortunately, the eldest princess was generous and charitable, and I didn't blame it for our family's dedication in the past, I can't do such a thing in the future, next time I won't be so lucky, the masters are bright.
It's not worth it to ruin the errand for this idea, you have to know how many people are waiting to run our family on this errand, and you have to talk to the owner when you go back, the one in the Northeast is a lesson from the past.
The old lady saw that she really understood, and waved her hand to let her retreat.
When Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law left, she looked at Xu's mother and asked, "Did I say it well?" Is it considered to have completed the task assigned by the daughter-in-law? "She feels like she's doing okay.
Mother Xu also smiled and agreed, "It's very good, you didn't see Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law sweating down, it's freezing this day, obviously afraid of your might." ”
The old lady nodded happily, "Well, she knows that it's good to be afraid, I'm afraid of messing up the things that my daughter-in-law explained to me, she asked me to beat Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law, I'm afraid that if I don't say it well, let her see it, then won't I have to bully Lan'er in the future." ”
"No, how can the eldest princess let people bully her own daughter, she is still a slave, and besides, the county lord is not a soft egg, how can she be so stupid. It's just that I'm afraid of being coaxed and don't understand farming, as long as the people below are cautious, it's not a matter to touch the thief, but there must be a bottom line, otherwise it will be bad to raise your appetite. "Mother Xu is also an experienced person, so she naturally understands what the people below think.
At the beginning, it was all petty theft, cautious and cautious, but if the master didn't know or didn't understand, the minion's heart would get bigger and bigger, bullying the master's face and skin, and he didn't know how to do things at a young age.
The old lady nodded, "You said that I should call the steward of the shop and beat it up, so that they don't bully the children." ”
Mother Xu said: "In my opinion, you will give full authority to the eldest princess, the eldest princess is a means, if she can't do it, let her be replaced, and if she can't understand the old and sell the old, she should be replaced." If you don't have a slave who is more expensive than a master, then wouldn't our family be in trouble. ”
The old lady nodded after pondering, "You go down and pass a message, let the good students wait, if you are ignorant and can't keep your job, I can't take care of them, I'm impatient to settle the accounts when I'm old, and the family is handed over to the eldest princess, I don't care about these in the future, even if I ask for it, I won't care." ”
"The old slave understands that the princess is a person who knows filial piety, and no one will wronged you if she is wronged, so you can have fun here and wait for them to pick us up."
"What you said is very true, I will eat, drink and have fun steadily, I don't know how much better these days are than before, even my son is closer to me than before, I come to ask from time to time, look at me, for fear that I am a little uncomfortable." The relationship with her son is much more relaxed than before, and the old lady is naturally very happy.
The old lady is stubborn, saying that she really won't touch anything if she doesn't care about mundane things, she will never pick it up again if she puts it down, and she really doesn't have any nostalgia when she says she will hand it over completely. (To be continued......)
