80 weeping
Yang Lan didn't care about Mama Yue's chatter, she knew what she was doing, and slowly drank the white fungus lotus seed soup with her head down.
However, she didn't know that Li Qianxue had already cried all the way back to Songhe Hall at this time, her sad little face and aggrieved eyes seemed to be like someone telling her that she had suffered a great grievance from the county lord just now.
When the old lady saw her blowing in like the wind, her face was full of tears, and she asked in surprise and distress, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you go to Lan'er? Why didn't you talk about it? "I feel a little strange in my heart, why is I crying like this, this child is a little shallow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be a big woman in the future!
Li Qianxue sat on the edge of the kang, hanging her head, revealing her fair and graceful neck, tears fell on the goose-yellow Luo shirt one by one, slowly blurring, staining the orchids on the skirt, the weak and pitiful look is also beautiful and touching.
"Grandmother, sixth sister, she ......!" Li Qianxue sobbed with tears.
The old lady turned to think about it, did Lan'er embarrass her, and thought about it, in the end, the family is the county lord, and it is inevitable that people who enter and leave the palace will be arrogant, which is normal.
"Is she embarrassed you? Hi! What's there to cry about? She is the lord of the county, even the emperor is favored, and a little temper is inevitable, but this child is still very decent in her heart and will not lose her temper for no reason. The old lady gently patted her granddaughter's back and soothed her.
Li Qianxue lowered her head and shot a light of resentment and hatred in her eyes, her fists were clenched together, and she quickly let go again, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said with grief and sadness, "I know what I said." I didn't care about it, but I mentioned the invitation to Princess Heian's mansion. She's the lord of the county, she says she's ....... "I want to talk.
The old lady was a little angry. Shen Sheng asked, "What did she say?" Don't want to help? Didn't you mention what I said? ”
Li Qianxue was overjoyed, and immediately raised her head and looked at the old lady aggrievedly and said, "I mentioned it, but the county lord refuted me very angrily, saying that she didn't sit hot on her ass just when she came back!" If you have time to go to the banquet, you will send me back! ”
It seems that she didn't say a word badly, but every word was aimed at Yang Lan, and judging from Li Qianxue's experience in serving the old lady quietly for two years, she was basically eight points sure.
Sure enough, the old lady looked a little angry, but she still understood and said, "It's me who is in a hurry." The kid just came back! It's no surprise that she's back, this post is indispensable, this time you can't go next time, it's the same, she can't stay at home forever and not go out, when the time comes, I'll let her take you, I'm not afraid that I won't have a chance to go out to see. ”
Although I feel very sorry for my granddaughter who has been wronged, I also understand that some people and things cannot be forced to order, so I can only comfort my granddaughter carefully.
Li Qianxue just wanted to open her mouth to say something more, but when she saw Mother Xu coming in with a teacup, she closed her mouth unwillingly.
"Old lady. Drink the medicine. Just now, the county lord asked Mama Lin to bring some outside specialties back, and there was a gift embroidered by the county lord himself, saying that it was for the old lady to ask for good luck! Mother Xu had already heard that Miss Biao was gossiping here again, so she couldn't help but find an excuse to come in.
The old lady's heart was filled with joy. Sure enough, she was still worried about me, in the end, it was my Yang family's child who didn't raise her in vain, and said repeatedly: "Show me what good things!" ”
Mother Xu was holding a box with red lacquered wood painted with gold carved peony flowers. Approach the old lady and open it slowly. Without leaving a trace, he squeezed Li Qianxue aside, and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. With a look of disdain.
Open the box to see, inside is an embroidered double-sided table screen, just take it to frame, embroidered is the pine crane prolonged years and pine and cypress figures, this picture is exquisite, look at it from a distance and the painting is like, the slightest can not see that it is embroidered, it can be seen that it is full of thought.
The old lady has seen good things in her life, but it is the first time she has seen such exquisite embroidery, which can be called a work of art! If you don't caress it with your hands, you almost think it's painted, vivid, the leaves and feathers seem to be the same as the real thing, and the eyes of the white crane are quite agile and almost come to life, which is really breathtaking.
The old lady was very excited, and praised again and again in amazement: "Good! So beautiful! Beautiful! ”
Mother Xu has served the old lady all her life, so she naturally knows what to do to get to the itch of the old lady, and smiled slightly and joked: "I heard that this picture has been embroidered for more than a year!" The poor child who is only a teenager has this filial piety, but this child is stupid, and he has never shouted a word of bitterness! In the end, she is the granddaughter of the old lady, but she didn't hurt her in vain! Look at what this is no worse than embroidery! I have lived so long, and I think I have seen the world in front of the old lady, but I have never seen such a beautiful thing! What an eye-opener! She muttered a long list of words that came out, and Li Qianxue, who was watching, sat next to her and stood neither walking.
Mother Xu sneered in her heart, in the past, it was just enough to instigate the old lady and the third girl and others, and it was not easy for you to need this favor, and if you endure it, you will endure it, but you dare to instigate the relationship between the old lady and the county lord, and cause trouble for the Yang family and the old lady, then don't blame me for being unkind to you!
The old lady said happily: "My granddaughter embroidered me no matter how bad it is, I am happy, it is rare that I like this heart!" How can the embroidery girl compare with my granddaughter! No matter how good they are, I'm not uncommon! What kind of wood do you think I'm better off with? Will the red sandalwood be a little darker? ”
Mother Xu hurriedly made a jubilant excuse, "The slave thinks that the color of Huanghuali is brighter, what do you think?" This picture is embroidered very well, just carve a simple moire, too complicated but fell down! ”
The old lady nodded vigorously, full of convincing.
To say that Mother Xu followed the old lady when she was a girl, the master and servant had several storms, shared hardships and tears together, and the affection was incomparable to others, plus she was middle-aged and widowed but childless and served wholeheartedly, which was valued and relied on by the old lady.
However, Mother Xu is extremely loyal, rarely meddles in the affairs of the Yang Mansion, just serves the old lady, and ignores the outside world, unless someone threatens the interests of the old lady.
"Then listen to you, you help me find some good rosewood. Help me make it pretty, can I put it on my small table on the kang? "The old lady is like a child with a new toy. His face was full of joy and he was eager to share it with others.
Mother Xu followed the old lady's words and said, "I don't think it's good to put it on the table." The place is too small to be opened, you can see if you can put it on the small table over there, and move the celadon vase to the side, that place is eye-catching, and you can see it as soon as you enter the house. ”
The old lady was really happy, and nodded vigorously, "Okay, then you go and help me get it, you have to keep an eye on them." Don't ruin my stuff. ”
"Don't worry, I'll do it myself, and I can't make a mistake!" Mother Xu happily assured the old lady.
Li Qianxue saw that she couldn't do anything today, so she had to say with an ugly face: "Grandmother, I was a little uncomfortable with the wind just now, and I want to go back and lie down." ”
The old lady frowned slightly, but still nodded, "Then you go!" If it's serious, go to the doctor to take a look! ”
"No, it's just a small problem." Li Qianxue didn't say anything more. With a stiff face, he retreated.
The old lady looked at Li Qianxue's back and was very worried, and she was also a little worried, this child is good at everything, but his eyes are too shallow, not to mention that the princess is not happy. She doesn't like it! Ay! But I have a mind in my heart, how good is this!
Mother Xu has followed the old lady for many years and knows her every move well. Look at this, how can you not understand what the old lady thinks! He stepped forward and handed over a cup of hot tea, thinking about it for a moment. Only then did he speak: "Old lady, this young lady's rules should be studied well." You look at how arrogant the three girls were back then, how do you look now? Isn't it a bit like everyone's young lady? ”
The old lady took a sip of hot tea and found that the taste was not as good as the old Junshan eyebrows before, so she asked, "What kind of tea is this?" Why did you make this for me? ”
She didn't answer her, but asked about the tea with great interest.
Mother Xu was not forced, and said with a smile, "This! The county lord learned to copy tea from Master Minghui, this is her own fried white tea Baihao Silver Needle, do you taste good when you drink it? ”
When the old lady heard this, her face softened much softer, and she sighed, "This child is a blessed one, dignified and magnificent, with a joyful vitality in the brightness, and his eyes are especially smart and cunning, and his whole body is full of cleverness!" After speaking, he sighed deeply, as if he was proud and a little regretful.
Mother Xu said with a smile: "If you want to say that this child is really thoughtful, I don't know where she inquired about the old slave who knows that the old slave is a little old, and specially asked someone to bring Master Minghui's medicine patch to me, not to mention that I put on a patch today, and the legs are hot and comfortable!" It's rare that this heart makes people feel considerate! She seemed to have something to say.
The old lady couldn't help laughing, looking at how the old man refused to let go today, Wan Er laughed and said, "What do you want to say, just say it!" ”
Mother Xu thought for a while, and said with a serious expression: "Old lady, the old slave has been with you all my life, and you know the slave's heart best." ”
Seeing that the old lady nodded affirmatively and agreed with herself, she continued: "Old lady, if Miss Biao continues to be so pampered, she will ruin her, even the county lord dares to arrange it, what else does she dare not do?" Now under your protection, there is the love of the big girl, and the Hou Ye will not ignore this child, but no matter how deep the affection is, there will be a day when it is finished! She's going to get married, right? Treat your mother-in-law and sister-in-law like this?
Last time, Master Hou made it clear to you, he didn't promise the eldest girl anything, but promised that he would take care of the child, and he didn't mean to mention family affairs at all, so what's the good thing for you to screw it again? She persuaded earnestly.
She knows better than anyone that the relationship between the old lady and the eldest son of the Hou Ye is not deep, and even some dissatisfaction and resentment towards the deceased mother-in-law are in it. It's unspeakably bitter! Who made our family background lower, and the mother's family played a small faction in harmony and tranquility, and never saw a dispute in the back house, and as a result, he suffered a lot after marriage.
Ay! Just because this mother-in-law is not satisfied with her and can't control the inner house, her husband doesn't like her wooden personality and impatient temperament, you can imagine how hard a woman lives in the back house where there is no blood! But even the eldest son was taken away by her mother-in-law, fortunately, the woman was a prisoner and was confiscated into the door of the workshop and could not give birth to a child, although she was alive when she was squeezed enough to choke the old lady, the woman was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the old lady was confused.
What's the use of talking about that now! The past has long been gone with the wind, and the only thing that can't be erased is those sad memories. (To be continued......)
