Chapter 10: Blessings

Mrs. Zeng sighed and looked at Qingdang: "You girl, listen to what those mothers-in-law are talking about, tell me about it!" "Old Madam Zeng naturally doesn't listen to what those mothers-in-law say on weekdays, but what people say, sometimes people will be sent to Mrs. Zeng as an interesting thing.

Qing Zhong smiled and smiled, and just about to say it, he saw Yan Ran raise his eyes and look this way, Qing Deng's heart jumped suddenly, could it be that Yan Ran already knew? Since she is so fearless, could it be that she has been instructed by the Zhao family? In this case, the words he uttered would definitely kill Yan Ran's offense. I don't care if I offend Yan Ran, but the premise must be that Yan Ran is completely trampled on by herself, and even their family is kicked out, not that there is any trouble.

After all, the Zheng family is in this Hou Mansion, and it is also the foundation of several generations and hundreds of years. After so many thoughts turned in Qingdeng's mind, the words he said were different from what he thought in his heart: "What those mothers-in-law said, the old lady also knew that it was nonsense. It's nothing more than saying there, one day when the son of the world went to the street, he met his uncle by chance, and the two hit it off at first sight! ”

How could Old Madam Zeng not hear Qingdang's words insincerely, but she didn't show anything on her face, just said lightly: "I see, this is also called fate!" ”

"Yes, it is indeed fate, the two families have married again at this time, and in the future, Uncle Lang will be more affectionate!" Qing Zhong followed the words of Mrs. Zeng, and said with a smile on her face. Old Madam Zeng smiled even more lovingly: "You girl." The mouth is getting more and more talking, I want to reward you too, go and get a double reward! ”

Qingdang hurriedly thanked Mrs. Zeng again, and went down with everyone to receive the reward. Mrs. Zeng sat alone in the room, the smile on her lips slowly became sharp, Qingdang, this girl, is only a little smart, just wait for two years, find someone to marry her, and then she will not be allowed to enter in front of her again.

Qingdang received a double reward, which made the eyes of those little maids glow red, and the flowers have already praised it: "Sister Qingdang is really different from us, we can receive double rewards for this reward, and I don't know when we can have the blessing of Sister Qingdang!" ”

Qingdang's face, Xiao Huan is also honored, and when she heard Hua'er's words, she pursed her lips: "Sister Qingdang's blue eyes are not a day or two for the old lady's blue eyes, you all have to recognize it one by one, don't think that someone has gone up, just pounce on it and wag her tail like a pug!" ”

Yanran and Huazhi walked in to receive the reward, Huazhi heard this and went to pull Yanran's sleeve, Yanran smiled at Huazhi soothingly, and ignored Xiao Huan and stepped forward to receive the reward. The rewarder hurriedly handed the reward money to Yan Ran, and pouted at the green bell.

Xiao Huan saw this action, squinted his eyes and said to the rewarder: "You are holding it in your hands, not in your hands, you have a mouth and can't speak, what are you doing with your eyebrows?" Naturally, it is not ordinary people who can come to reward, and after hearing Xiao Huan's words, she gave her a blank look: "I'm not like some people, I have no foundation, I only know how to please with one mind, but I don't know that this flattery also has to be appreciated by others!" ”

"You, what do you say I do?" Xiao Huan can be the second-class maid next to Mrs. Zeng, and she thinks that she also has a bit of face, but when a mother-in-law says this, she is immediately annoyed.

"This is the first time someone picks up food, and the first time someone picks up and scolds? Miss Xiaohuan, did I name you? Besides, your family has been in this Hou Mansion for twenty or thirty years, which is not the same as the one bought outside! The mother-in-law said apologetic words, but the tone was still the same.

Xiao Huan became more and more angry, and Qingdang hurriedly grabbed her and signaled not to be like this woman.

When the mother-in-law saw that the rewards were all over, she put away the baggage and said: "Miss Xiaohuan, if you want to make trouble, you have to wait until you earn it, at this time, what is the trouble!" After speaking, the mother-in-law smiled at Yanran: "Niece Yanran, I'm leaving, I have to go to my house to play, my daughter, I want you to teach me more!" ”

After speaking, the mother-in-law left with her head held high, Xiao Huan's eyes were even more angry, and she wanted to chase her out. Yanran sighed in her heart, this woman really didn't forget to set off the fire before leaving, but this is also common, she only said to Qingdang: "Sister Qingdang, we should go back after receiving the reward, otherwise, the old lady is there, but there are only a few old mothers waiting outside the door!" ”

Qing Dang knew the weight more than Xiao Huan, and comforted Xiao Huan again, and then left with someone. Xiao Huan glared at Yanran fiercely, and didn't forget to squeeze Yanran when she walked out of the door.

Seeing Xiao Huan like this, Hua Zhi said dissatisfiedly to Yan Ran: "Sister Yan Ran, how can Xiao Huan be like this?" "Flowers speak the same way.

"Well, let's go up." Yanran only said this to Hua Zhihua'er, there are some things that do not need to compete for a while, but always take your time.

When they returned to the upper room, Shi An had already gone to see Aunt Wu, and when Aunt Wu was gone, she came to thank Mrs. Zeng again. Yan Ran heard Aunt Wu's words of thanks from afar, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this is the pain of being a concubine, even if it is her own granddaughter, no matter what she does, she must be so late as her grandmother.

Shi An was able to go to see Aunt Wu, it was still the kindness of Mrs. Zeng, otherwise, there would be many people who couldn't even stand Aunt Sun's gift!

"Aunt Wu and Grandma Wu are so blessed!" Hua'er couldn't help but say enviously, Huazhi wanted to agree, but seeing Yanran's look, she didn't speak. Yanran smiled at them and lifted the curtain and walked into the house, where Mrs. Zeng was saying to Aunt Wu: "Wait for two more days, the seal will come down, you have the seal, don't be so polite to me in the future, you and I have been friends for forty or fifty years!" ”

"Don't dare to do that!" Although Aunt Wu had a seat in front of Mrs. Zeng, after hearing Mrs. Zeng's words, she hurriedly got up and waved her hands and refused: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, what kind of person is Madame, how dare the concubine talk about this with Madame!" ”

What Mrs. Zeng wanted was Aunt Wu's words, and when she saw that Aunt Wu was still waiting for herself, she stretched out her hand to pull Aunt Wu to sit down: "You also have Aunt Sun at this glance, and if you wait for another two years, you will be able to hug your great-grandson, and if you hold such a ceremony in front of my eyes, it will not look like it to outsiders!" ”

"Madame's words should be dismissed, don't say that I will hold my great-grandson in a few years, even if I have a gray grandson, I am also a member of Madame's house, how can I not be polite? Besides, if my wife hadn't treated me like this, how could I have been so blessed! Aunt Wu didn't dare to resign again and again.

Old Mrs. Zeng smiled even deeper, this is the blessing of being an aunt, even if she gets the title and her son becomes a weapon, she must be honest and honest, otherwise she will be laughed at and frivolous, whether she is fifty or seventy years old this year, she has to be like this.

Mrs. Zeng was right, a few days later, Aunt Wu's edict really came down, and the day she came down coincided with Aunt Wu's 50th birthday. Aunt Wu's birthday in previous years was just that Mrs. Zeng instructed the kitchen to make her a table of wine and send it to her room, and the people in her room kowtowed to Aunt Wu for her birthday.

This year, Aunt Wu was entitled, and Mrs. Zeng saw that she was still observing etiquette as usual, so she instructed Zhao to invite a group of plays, and set up a few tables of wine to celebrate Aunt Wu's birthday. opened the grace again, and released all of Aunt Wu's relatives and nephews, which was also regarded as their blessing for Aunt Wu.

On the day the Wu family was released, Uncle Wu brought the whole family to kowtow to Mrs. Zeng, and Mrs. Zeng rewarded them with another hundred taels of silver, and said to them: "In the future, if you release it, you can also have contact with your aunt!" ”

When Uncle Wu heard this, he hurriedly said: "The old lady said this, ashamed of the little ones, from today onwards, although they are not from the house, but the big and small masters in the house, the kindness of the little ones, the little ones remember!" How dare you be arrogant and regard yourself as a relative of this Hou Mansion? ”

Seeing that the people of the Wu family knew how to advance and retreat, Mrs. Zeng nodded with satisfaction, and asked them to say goodbye to Aunt Wu, who said the same thing to her nephews and grandchildren. When all the people of the Wu family left, Aunt Wu sighed lightly, and after half her life, she was so hard that all her family members were released, but what about the release? The son's uncle's family is still not surnamed Wu!

Aunt Wu sighed there, but others would not think like this. Especially on Aunt Wu's birthday, although Zhao did not come to kowtow, he also ordered the big girl next to him to come over and salute on his behalf. In the eyes of outsiders, Aunt Wu is even more beautiful, especially Xiaochan looks at the scenery of Aunt Wu, and the thoughts in her heart are like fire, how can I leave Aunt Wu and go to Mrs. Zeng's room?

"Sister, although there is a second-class nest next to the old lady now, there are so many maids in this room, more than a dozen of them large and small, all staring at it!" Hua'er listened to Xiaochan's words, which was different from more than a year ago, and said very dejectedly.

"Aren't you and Qingdang good? And Yanran, if I can't come, wouldn't it be the same if you went up? Xiaochan saw that her sister was discouraged, so she pushed her and turned her words.

"Yanran, that person, you don't know, the water can't be splashed! Besides, she is different from Qingdang, Qingdang is greedy for money, but Yanran has never seen anything? Xiaochan listened to her sister's words, her brows furrowed very tightly, how can she think of getting her sister forward?

Footsteps suddenly came from outside, which made the Xiaochan sisters startled, their location is a very remote place in the garden, it is said that no one will come, but in this remote place, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will whisper again. Xiaochan covered her sister's mouth and quietly poked her head out.

"Yanran, I know you don't care about these things, but this opportunity is rare! If you don't take it, how can I go! Xiaochan saw a mother-in-law who was washing the pulp on Zhao's side, and was pulling Yanran there to talk, and Hua'er also saw it, with disdain in her eyes, Yanran didn't care about it on weekdays, to put it bluntly, she still didn't think there were enough things to give.
