Chapter 299: Abacus
Now it is freezing cold, the ice and snow on the road are silted, and the road is not easy, and the mother and his party, chariots and horses are parallel, presumably they will not travel day and night, at least half a month, before they can come back.
During these days, there will inevitably be no fewer moths in the long house.
With a pair of clear and bright, star-like eyes, Xie Shuning instructed with a straight face: "Mom, don't worry, just do what you do, and the long room will stop in a few days." ”
Zhuo's mother got such words, but she was still worried in her heart.
There are so many people in the long room, even if the old lady has no idea in her heart, there are still a large number of people such as the eldest wife, the eldest master, and the third master. As the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, this rough calculation, I don't know how many "Zhuge Kongming" there are in the long room.
I don't know how long they can hold the three rooms.
She took the clothes she was holding in Yuzi's arms with trepidation, and retreated with Yuzi to pack up the cage.
Several large mahogany boxes were lined up on the ground one after another, and the lids were all open, exuding a faint aroma of borneol. Zhuo's mother stepped forward and carefully folded the clothes in her hand with Yuzi and put them into one of the boxes.
During the busy time, on the side of the long room, Zhilan had also sent someone to follow the words of the old lady in the long room, moved a ladder and stood by the wall, so that people climbed up to look at the movement in the third room.
The sky was not very good, it was gloomy and gloomy, mixed with thin snow particles, which hit people in the face head-on, and it hurt.
Zhilan stood at the foot of the ladder and looked up at the people on the ladder a few times, and was hit in the eye by a snow particle. "Ouch" bowed his head.
At this moment, the person standing on the ladder and looking at it from a distance had also trembled backwards and climbed down the ladder.
Zhilan rubbed her eyes. Unhappily, he asked, "Can you see clearly?" What's going on right now? ”
"I don't know if I'm wrong...... "Holding the ladder with one hand and trembling at the side with the other, the little girl who climbed down from the ladder said with a white face.
Zhilan still felt uncomfortable in her eyes, rubbed it twice again, and scolded: "That's it, what is wrong with it!" ”
The little maid shuddered and said tremblingly, "I see...... I saw that there were many men in the third room...... And. They all seem to be wearing swords......"
"What?" Zhilan was shocked when she heard this, and she didn't care if her eyes were uncomfortable or not, so she only raised her voice and asked again. "You're really not mistaken?"
"Look, it's true, if Sister Zhilan doesn't believe it, why don't you go up and have a look by yourself?" The little maid glanced at her quietly and suggested softly.
Zhilan was about to scold her when she heard this. But on second thought, it's also the way it should be. Otherwise, she went to the old lady without seeing it with her own eyes, but things were not like this at all, how could she bear the crime of negligence at that time? How can I be a decent person in front of the old lady in the future?
Thinking like this, Zhilan didn't scold, just let her hold on to the ladder and climb up a few times.
Climbing to the top, she peered out.
The gaze crossed the cornices and the pavilions, and fell straight on a few small figures.
Her eyes widened involuntarily. With a low exclamation, he slipped down the ladder in a hurry. dropped the sentence "put the ladder away", and hurriedly ran to the plum blossom dock.
When she arrived at the door, she didn't wait for the maid at the door to pass the word, she opened the curtain herself, like a floater on a summer night, and with a "whoosh" sound, she drilled into the gap and flew straight to the old lady before stopping.
The old lady of the long room was frightened several times in succession today, and when she saw that Zhilan looked panicked again, her heart was immediately raised, and she said calmly: "What are you doing, so frizzy!" ”
Zhilan's face turned pale, where could she care about any rules, so she only approached Baba and said, "Old lady, there are many people with swords in the third room!" ”
"Swords?" The old lady was stunned, "Where did the man with the sword come from?" ”
Zhilan shook her head: "The slave has never seen those people. ”
The old lady's face changed greatly: "Do you see clearly? ”
"Slaves don't dare to talk nonsense." Zhilan knelt down with a "plop".
The old lady's eyes changed, and she was silent and silent.
Zhilan was still kneeling, until there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the door, and someone came to say that the uncle had arrived with the third master, and the old lady glanced at her and asked her to retreat first. Zhilan didn't dare to raise her head if she was amnestied, and hurriedly retreated with her head down.
She stepped forward, and Uncle Xie and Third Master Xie came on the back foot.
The old lady sat on the hot kang, and on the kang table was a broken thread of Buddha beads, and her face was gloomy.
The two sons looked at each other, and each of them came forward to greet her, and no one knew why the old lady suddenly wanted to see them.
This is especially true of Xie Sanye, since the incident of the sixth girl Xie Zhiruo at that time, his life has plummeted, and it can no longer be compared with the past. Therefore, he really didn't have the heart to talk to his mother.
Seeing that the old lady was silent and no one served tea, he couldn't help frowning, and took the lead in saying, "Mother, I don't know why you specially called your son and eldest brother today?" ”
The old lady glanced at him, and said in her heart that if the second child was still there, she didn't have to worry about this little thing now. People have advantages and disadvantages, the third child is not as safe as the second child, and the third child is too aggressive, so he caused the matter of the sixth girl, and almost brought the entire Xie family to the gutter.
She sighed secretly in her heart, and finally spoke: "Something happened to the sixth child, and now it's time for you to be a brother's help." ”
"The sixth is in trouble?" Xie Sanye's brows furrowed even tighter, and his voice was lower.
Uncle Xie kept his head down, listening a little absentmindedly, and did not respond.
The old lady narrowed her eyes, "I'm afraid the sixth leg's leg is going to be lame." ”
Third Master Xie was taken aback, and Huo Ran stood up: "What's the matter?" ”
The old lady of the long room told the grievances between the Song family and Xie Yuanmao in a few words, and called what the Song family did as a poisonous woman's behavior, and decided that the Song family was not a good thing, and this time it was mostly her conspiracy. Instead of thieves, they entered the house and robbed her and took her away by the way. She began to wonder if the Song family was hiding in a corner waiting for the plane to act.
"The Song family shouldn't have been allowed to enter the mansion back then!" Xie Sanye responded to the old lady's words, but he was inexplicably a little happy in his heart.
When the old lady heard this, she patted the kang table unhappily. Said: "Are you saying this now, the fault is on me?" ”
Back then, she was the first person to leave the Song family in the position of Mrs. Xie Liu.
Xie Sanye hurriedly argued: "Mother misunderstood, my son never meant this." ”
But back then, if you went to the mother and kept the child, where would there be so many things now.
The old lady also understood in her heart, not to mention how wrong she was with Xie Shuning now. Then he said: "The girl from the sixth family is closed, so I won't leave her alone for the time being, and trap her in it first." It's just a girl. In the end, it is not as important as her son, and the Song family may go to find her son first. The third child, you will send someone to Jiangnan and bring Brother Yi back first. ”
Xie Yuanmao can't have any other heirs in his life, and even his only son is pinched by the Song family. The incense behind him. Isn't there just a little left?
After finishing speaking, she looked at Xie Sanye fixedly, and said: "I know that you don't have a good relationship with Lao Liu, but you are brothers who break bones and tendons." What's more, this matter is not only the matter of the sixth child, but also related to the face of the Xie family. ”
Xie Sanye knew when he heard this. This time, I didn't want to accept it, but I had to accept it, so I had to nod my head.
The old lady smiled. Turning his head to look at Uncle Xie, he said, "Aman's girl's relatives, you should let your daughter-in-law go and look at her immediately, and if there is a suitable one, you will immediately inform me." ”
"Mother, isn't it appropriate for us to be in the next room?" Uncle Xie was a little confused, as if he had just sobered up a little later, and asked softly.
The old lady frowned: "How many people are left in the third room?" The sixth child has become like that, and the Song family is like this, if the long room doesn't help, what else is there in the third room? Aman's child is about to die, and she is taught by her mother to understand the reason, what good family affairs can she get in the future, while there is no major incident, she will give her family affairs first, and leave the cabinet early, which is better than anything else! ”
The left and right sides are about to tear their faces, and the old lady has no scruples.
Uncle Xie had nothing to say, so he went back and relayed these words to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady sneered, "The old lady is going to start selling her nieces and granddaughters, and her hand can be stretched long enough." ”
"Shut up, you!" Uncle Xie listened impatiently.
The eldest lady pouted and said nothing, in fact, her heart was full of joy, and she was secretly beating gongs and drums for the old lady.
The old lady was also very comfortable in her heart, feeling that everything was still under her control, just waiting for the Song family to throw herself into the net.
However, only a few days later, the situation changed dramatically.
First of all, the eldest lady was walking upright, and suddenly fell and broke her head, and she couldn't even speak, where could she cope with the work ordered by the old lady.
The old lady was annoyed, so she reluctantly held back, changed the reason for this matter, and handed it over to Mrs. Xie Qi, her youngest daughter-in-law, with a good word for Xie Shuning.
As a result, she didn't live in peace for two days, and Xie Sanye came to tell her with a blushing face that Xie Yi was not in the academy for a long time, and even Xie Chen was not there.
The old lady panicked at this time, why was things completely different from what she thought?
At this moment, Uncle Xie was so worried that he couldn't sleep well, his hair fell down a lot, and it fell sparsely in a few days.
He has always been taking care of the house's affairs, and he has been doing nothing for decades, and he has been living without hindrance.
Recently, however, things have gone awry.
First of all, several shops with the largest flow of water had accidents one after another, and even the signboard was almost smashed, and then the output of several Zhuangzi also became a big problem, either this is bad or that is bad.
In just a few days, the use of the house began to sit and eat.
The eldest lady who will break a penny into two cents on a partial life day takes medicine to recuperate, the second lady Liang has been cultivating and ignoring these worlds a few years ago, and the seventh wife Zhang has another task entrusted by the old lady, and this housekeeper fell on the third lady Jiang.
The first time the Jiang family returned to the house, they spent a lot of money, where did they know that the situation was difficult.
Hands were suddenly tight.
By the time the old lady found out, things were out of control. (To be continued......)
