116. Genealogy
It's night, and the autumn wind is blowing.
The second grandmother's face turned pale, and she leaned on the carved lacquered column on the ground of the gazebo in collapse.
"Second grandmother, let's invite a doctor, if it goes on like this, the slave maid is afraid of ......" Banxia is the second grandmother's personal maid, and was interrupted by the second grandmother before she finished speaking.
The second grandmother raised her hand and said weakly: "Don't go...... I'll just rest for a while...... The dinner has begun, right? "The doctor saw that she couldn't hide the food she stole from her, and Mrs. Tai had never liked the second room.
You can't leave a handle.
Banxia nodded: "At the beginning, the dishes were not yet served. ”
"Help me go and sit over there for a while." The second grandmother pointed to the cobblestone pier in the pavilion and breathed a sigh of relief.
She only ate two pieces of osmanthus cake, even if the food was not clean, it would not be so watery, and she couldn't remember how many times she went to the toilet back and forth, so she simply waited in the gazebo not far away.
After the physical discomfort was relieved, the second grandmother began to slowly recall what happened just now, those osmanthus cakes were the snacks prepared by the seventh girl for the eldest girl, and when they were taken to the kitchen to heat, she ate a few pieces of it with greed, and now it seems that there is obviously something unclean in the pastry, and the seventh girl wants to frame the eldest girl?
The seventh girl is the seventh master's own sister, the seventh master has just gained power now, the seventh girl is so impatient, she is really brainless, the eldest girl is the heart of the eldest lady.
Now the second room can't be dispersed, and she can't suffer in vain today, so let's count all this on the eldest girl's head.
It's just that the eldest girl has already taken the lead, and the seventh girl had a quarrel with her because of a hairpin before, and bought her favorite osmanthus cake to show her favor, and after waiting for a long time, she was hungry. called the maid to send the pastries to the eldest lady's kitchen, in the name of hot heat, in fact, it was convenient for her to eat, because the small kitchen was the closest.
I don't want the second grandmother to dare to eat her things. immediately complained to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai has always loved the eldest girl, so she naturally shares the same hatred.
He ordered someone to invite: "Hurry up and find the second grandmother, why have you been there for so long." If you really feel unwell, call the doctor as soon as possible. ”
Gu's mother was ordered to call a few mothers-in-law to go out to find them.
Halfway through, I happened to meet Banxia and the second grandmother, Banxia held a lantern in one hand and the second grandmother in the other, walking slowly, and after hearing the footsteps, the second grandmother tried to stand up straight.
Banxia lifted the lantern and said in understanding: "Second grandmother." There is a small road ahead, the road is uneven, be careful. ”
Gu's mother urged repeatedly: "Second grandma, I finally found you, and the whole room is waiting for you to open the table." Hurry up, Mrs. Tai has already sent the old slave to find you several times. ”
Under the faint light, the second grandmother looked very bright, when did she have such a status in Mrs. Tai's heart.
Wan Erjing thought about it, could it be because of the big girl.
Immediately stunned and said, "There is Lao Gu's mother, I'll rush over." ”
By the time we got to the hall, everyone had already eaten.
The second grandmother endured the discomfort in her lower body, moved lightly in a few steps, and bowed on her knees: "The granddaughter-in-law is late." Please grandmother to punish her. ”
Mrs. Tai glanced at it with drooping eyelids, snorted, and said lightly: "I heard that you went out to find food, but is there such a thing?" ”
The second grandmother was already prepared in her heart, but when she heard it suddenly, she was still shocked by the coldness.
The big girl's eyes lit up. Quietly walked behind Mrs. Tai and said softly: "The second grandmother is probably hungry, usually at this hour, dinner has already been eaten, grandmother, you can be considerate, the second sister-in-law is definitely not intentional." ”
If she is hungry, she has to eat, and she has avoided it intentionally or unintentionally, and the second grandmother secretly slandered herself.
The eldest girl saw that the second grandmother's face was even paler, and she was secretly proud, in the past, the second room never dared to speak loudly, but now she dared to openly grab things, not because the seventh master gained fame, and really ascended to heaven with one person.
The seventh master and the seventh grandmother came late, and Mrs. Tai was obviously dissatisfied, she said this at this time, and Mrs. Tai would definitely take the opportunity to attack, so as to indirectly frustrate the momentum of the seventh master and the seventh grandmother.
Xianyun thought about it for a while, and immediately understood the purpose of Mrs. Tai's visit, and the second grandmother was still thinking about the matter of the seventh girl in her heart, and she didn't think of this layer at all.
After weighing it, the second grandmother hid her face and sobbed: "The granddaughter-in-law was unwell, and when she went out for a walk, she happened to meet the eldest girl's maid sneaking around in the eldest lady's small kitchen, so she went to take a look at it if she was curious, and she couldn't help eating two pieces for a while. ”
"You're talking nonsense, it's obvious that you're greedy and robbed!" The big girl was determined.
The voice was too loud, and when she finished speaking, the eldest girl realized it and covered her mouth in embarrassment.
The men on the other side of the screen heard the movement, and the originally lively banquet suddenly fell silent.
I saw the second grandmother say in a thin voice: "If the eldest girl really doesn't want to give me food, it's okay not to give it, but she actually put something unclean in it, which makes me miserable......"
"You are talking nonsense, I originally planned to eat those things by myself, how could I be drugged, you have a bad stomach by eating it yourself, don't rely on me, grandmother, look at it, second sister-in-law, so quibble." The eldest girl said and shook Mrs. Tai's arm coquettishly.
A pair of moist eyes flickered at Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai's heart melted, and she coaxed: "Grandmother will make decisions for you, don't worry." ”
Mrs. Tai sternly ordered: "Eating is a fact, but you have to blame others for eating discomfort, the second granddaughter-in-law, you are not small today." ”
I really thought that with the seventh master, I could act arbitrarily if I got the official.
The second grandmother was already prostrate, and after a few mouths, her legs were weak, and Banxia hurriedly held on.
In the eyes of others, it was the second grandmother who was frightened by Mrs. Tai's words.
Qi Ziyin, who was sitting in the men's seat, clenched his hands in his sleeves.
Xianyun couldn't sit still, and slapped them in the face.
got up and said to Mrs. Tai Fu Yifu: "I see that the second grandmother's face is extremely pale, and she is weak to speak, so what she said should be true." ”
Turning his head, he asked the maid beside the eldest girl: "Have you eaten those osmanthus cakes?" ”
The maid didn't speak, and turned her head to look at the eldest girl, in fact, she didn't know how there was something wrong with the pastry. When the seventh girl sent it, the eldest girl had eaten two of them, and there was nothing wrong with it, but something happened to the second grandmother.
The eldest girl hurriedly jumped out and said, "Of course I didn't eat." ”
That's what I want. The second grandmother obviously suffered a loss today, and it doesn't seem to be self-directing and acting.
"In that case, bring those osmanthus cakes. If you verify it, you can know whether what the second grandmother said is true. Xianyun glanced around, and finally his gaze fell on Mrs. Tai, looking at each other, Xianyun was not afraid.
Mrs. Tai seemed to be irritated by Xianyun's eyes, raised her voice, and said a "good" word.
There are ready-made imperial doctors. Xianyun naturally recommended it, but Mrs. Tai said impatiently: "Don't disturb their interest in women's affairs, find someone to try it, and it will be over." ”
I have already swept away the interest, and it is still your wife who takes the lead, Xianyun pouted.
Mrs. Tai's eyes narrowed. smiled and said to the second grandmother: "Since you have doubts about this matter, why don't you try it." ”
The second grandmother has obviously lost her strength, Mrs. Tai is too thick, Xianyun said bluntly: "It's better for the big girl to try it, after all, it's the big girl's thing, and she will never harm herself." "It only harms others.
The eldest girl was startled and waited for Xianyun, who smiled faintly.
The eldest girl asked Mrs. Tai for help, and Mrs. Tai said, "Then Yuqiu will try." "Yuqiu is the big girl's maid. Hot osmanthus cake. ”
Yuqiu ate it under the gaze of everyone, didn't finish the three pieces, his face changed greatly, he covered his stomach with his hands, and ran out in a hurry.
Suddenly there was silence in the room.
Mrs. Tai's face was pale, and she felt that her cheeks were hot. Glared at the eldest girl.
The eldest girl shrunk her neck, took a few steps back, stared at the remaining osmanthus cake in disbelief, and then blurted out: "Impossible...... No way, when the seventh girl just sent it over this morning, I still ate it, and there has been nothing wrong. ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Tai felt even more shameless, and the eldest girl really couldn't help herself on stage today.
However, in a place that no one noticed, the changes in the expression of the seventh girl fell in the eyes of the second grandmother.
From the worry just now and the current big sigh of relief, the second grandmother concluded that most of the incident was done by the seventh girl.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the big girl is acting on purpose now.
The eldest lady was already flustered and at a loss, looking at her daughter distressedly and uneasily.
The eldest grandmother said appropriately: "The meal is already hot, let's eat first." ”
This remark won the heart of Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai was eager to take over this chapter.
It's just, then it's so easy for you to think, if the situation is not right, just slip away, think beautifully!
The second grandmother covered her face with a handkerchief: "Grandmother, although this matter is the granddaughter-in-law's fault, but the eldest girl's actions are really too deceitful, now I really think about it, the granddaughter-in-law has suffered such a big grievance, can't she ask for an explanation." ”
Mrs. Tai sighed and persuaded: "You have indeed been wronged, and you really have to blame the eldest girl for this matter." ”
The corners of the seven girls in the crowd not far away curled their mouths, full of anticipation.
"It's because she didn't discipline the maid effectively, and now Yuhe has also received the same retribution, so she will send it out today, and my aunt will copy a hundred Buddhist scriptures as punishment." Mrs. Tai raised her eyebrows lightly and glanced at the second grandmother.
The eldest girl would have copied Buddhist scriptures for Mrs. Tai across the mountain, where is this punishment, the second grandmother was unwilling, and wanted to say something, her eyes glanced at the seventh girl's lost gaze, as if she thought of something, and couldn't help but be silent.
The eldest girl was crying and mourning, and God knows how much she hated the Buddhist scriptures she copied to please her grandmother.
When the matter was settled, everyone was seated, and dinner began.
The family banquet that originally wanted to win over was dispersed in a turmoil, but Xianyun was very satisfied.
There was a commotion, Mrs. Tai was afraid that she was not in the mood to "teach" her, and when she was about to get up and leave, she was called by Gu's mother again, and there was a big girl with a displeased face who was ready to leave.
The maids served a snack after dinner.
Mrs. Tai suddenly took out the family tree, shook it in front of everyone, and said after half a sound: "The procedures have not been down before, and they are only done today." ”
Motioned to Gu's mother to hand it over, and Gu's mother handed it directly to the seventh master.
Xianyun sat next to the seventh master, just in time to see clearly, and the others also stretched their necks to look.
The seventh master turned the pages overnight, this is the genealogy of the Qi family, when he turned to the second room of the Qi family, the seventh master was stunned.
Xianyun took the opportunity to look over, and the names of her and the seventh master happened to come into view. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
