Chapter 47: Self-Inflicted Wisdom (1)

A table of wine is prepared outside, and there are a few brothers sitting, the oldest is only the eleven-year-old Sixth Master Zhenlu, Mrs. Ma is not at ease, afraid that they will make trouble, so she asks Aunt Li to take care of it, and the table of the ladies is served by a few intimate maids.

Mrs. Ma likes to be lively, and is most satisfied with the appearance of sitting at a table, so she did not let a few young ladies go out to share a table, and asked them to sit with her, saying that they are crowded together and popular, and she is very happy when she sees it. Aunt Chen was punished and closed the door, and Duan thought that he wanted to personally make vegetables for the old lady, but he also stopped her.

"I've made up my mind to eat and drink, don't spoil me." Old Madam Ma motioned for Duan to sit down and said, "What are you serving as a wife?" Do you want to get up the ladies sitting underneath too? Not only did they lose their fun, but they didn't let them eat well. After that, she smiled and squinted her eyes and said to Mrs. Li on the side, "I know that you and your fourteenth daughter-in-law eat lightly, but I am very old, and I prefer oil and gas, and the cooks here also do this, and even the taste of vegetarian dishes is heavier, and you will settle for it." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Li was smiling and silent, Zhou said: "Yesterday, I also told the sixth uncle and the fourteenth brother and sister that the seventh girl and Zhen Heng are just the time to grow their bodies, so they should make up for it with more meat." ”

Mrs. Li smiled undiminishedly, but she kept silent about yesterday's events.

Zhen Xuan was surprised in her heart, according to her grandmother's temper in the past, she must have said something, such as "That's true, seeing that our Xuan'er is thin, she fell down when she was gently taken by her cousin." "When it comes to Zhen Xuan and Zhen Heng, Mrs. Li has never been stingy with some reproachful words, that is, she can't be too embarrassed by the old lady on the horse, and she will still mention a sentence and a half.

But now he didn't say anything, could it be that he had already talked about something in the house just now? Zhen Xuan secretly guessed.

Because there are many elders at the table, the sisters eat a little restrained, Zhen Ying is better, and from time to time she should make a few words with Mrs. Ma, Zhen Huan thought about Aunt Chen, and had to sit and eat patiently, always chewing slowly with her head slightly down.

Mrs. Ma pulled Mrs. Li to drink a few glasses, she had a good amount of alcohol, and she also drank slightly red, listening to the funny jokes that Cao said Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

Zhenhuan secretly glanced at Mrs. Ma, and said in her heart that the old lady was in a good mood, and she should not continue to punish Aunt Chen, and the aunt would be closed for a few days at most, and there would be no substantial damage. What's more, it's not bad to close the door, at least you don't have to wait cautiously in front of you, and you're much more uncomfortable in your own house.

The meal was almost finished, and the maids came in and withdrew, and another round of melons and fruits was served. When Mrs. Li was talking to Mrs. Ma close to her ear, the voices of the boys outside suddenly became heavier, and Mrs. Ma called Jinhong and said, "Go out and take a look, what do you say so happy, and also say that you are happy with us." ”

Jinhong said "hey" and went out to take a look, and came back after a while: "Old lady, a few masters are saying that they want to take a day to ride a horse, but seeing that the weather is good today, they will want to come and ask the old lady to let them go today." ”

After hearing this, the old lady Ma smiled undiminishedly: "A group of crazy people, they are greedy for fun, which one mentions riding a horse first?" ”

Jinhong shook her head: "The slave doesn't know. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Ma didn't look unacceptable, Duan said, "Go and talk to the stable, and a few masters will come over in a while, so that they can take care of it." ”

The mother-in-law who went to the stable to run errands came back after a while, but her face was very solemn, but she couldn't enter the old lady's house, so she had to whisper to Aunt Li outside, Aunt Li's face changed when she heard it, and she hurriedly entered the house and saluted, walked to the side of the old lady Ma, bent down and whispered.

Old Mrs. Ma's smile was gone, and she looked up and glanced at Aunt Li lukewarmly: "What did you say?" ”

Aunt Li thought that the old lady hadn't heard clearly, so she leaned over and said aside. Mrs. Ma's eyes were sharp, and she slammed the tea cup in front of her at Aunt Li's feet. With a bang, the cup shattered.

Mrs. Ma suddenly became angry, and everyone didn't react, Aunt Li was spilled by the hot tea, and she didn't dare to move because of the pain.

"Grandmother, what's wrong?" Zhen Ying came back to her senses, got up and walked to Mrs. Ma's side, and said flatteringly, "But what did the younger brothers do to make you angry?" ”

Mrs. Ma felt the most sorry for Zhen Ying, but she would not be embarrassed when she was angry, so she helped Zhen Ying to leave the table and sit back on the couch, and said: "One by one, they are so smart, do you really think that my wife is old and doesn't understand your methods?" ”

The word "smart" made Aunt Li's face a little darker, and she secretly glanced at Duan's family, and saw that Duan's smile was also a little unnatural, and she was shocked, but the old lady's things were also smashed, so she shouldn't just turn a blind eye and let things pass, thinking of this, she stabilized her mind again.

Mrs. Li saw that there was something to deal with in the long room, so she said, "Sister-in-law, I drank too much and got a little dizzy, so I'll go back first." ”

Old Madam Ma sighed, waved her hand, and said, "Stay, seven girls, help your grandmother come and sit with me." This matter also has something to do with you, so let's listen to it together. ”

Mrs. Ma said this, but Mrs. Li didn't insist and asked Zhen Xuan to help her over.

Zhen Xuan wondered in her heart, what would happen in the long room that had anything to do with the fifth room?

"That's it, you don't have to be ashamed, what is my wife afraid of." Mrs. Ma smiled self-deprecatingly, "You all go back to the room, and those boys also let them go back to the room to stay, and they are not allowed to come out without me." Jinhong, you go and call Chen's over. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhenhuan's heart suddenly became anxious, and when Aunt Li came in to reply, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she was afraid of something, Aunt Chen had just been punished and thought about it, and was called to the old lady to talk back, can the sin this time be lighter than thinking? Thinking of this, where is she willing to be obedient and go back to the house, she will say whatever she opens.

Before the words came out, he was stopped by Zhen Lin, Zhen Huan didn't dare to mess with Zhen Lin in front of the old lady and the Duan family, knowing that Zhen Lin was afraid that she would annoy the old lady even more by talking about it, so she had to suppress the doubts and worries in her heart.

Aunt Chen came soon, and unlike the mugwort green embroidered silk that Zhen Xuan saw her wearing in the morning, Xu changed to a more plain tea white in order to "think about it behind closed doors".

Aunt Chen muttered in her heart, because she couldn't make up for the loss, she had already let the old lady give her a lecture, but it was only an hour or two before she called her over.

"The maid named Sunset is indeed dead, isn't it?" Mrs. Ma opened her mouth slowly, although this sentence was a question, her tone was very firm, and regardless of Aunt Chen's complexion, she continued to ask, "Is it because of unclean hands and feet, you can tell me." ”

It was expected by Zhen Xuan that Xi Mo was more auspicious, but she had always had a hard time believing that Xi Mo's death was related to Aunt Chen, and Aunt Chen had no interests with Xi Mo, even if her hands and feet were not clean, she didn't have to push people to death. But now when I listen to Mrs. Ma's words, it seems that there is something else hidden.

Aunt Chen listened to the old lady's questioning tone, and then glanced at Aunt Li, who was watching the show on the side, and knew that she couldn't hide it, so she told the matter.
