Chapter 161: Li Dai Taozhuang (Middle)
"Squeak" The door opened and closed, and Shui Fu led the Sheng family to arrive. Mo Yu Yuan made a look, and Shui Zhi immediately stepped forward to pour tea and water: "Old Lady Sheng is here, please take a seat." ”
Mrs. Sheng was not polite, swaggered and accepted the salute, took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the other side of the low couch. Sheng Mingxuan and his wife were let to the bottom and sat on both sides of the small table, and the child didn't follow anyone, stepped on the couch with his shoes on, and squeezed together with his grandmother.
The Lord of the Leng Xiang Pavilion was displeased, and even Shui Zhi frowned, but he didn't move and suppressed it. Mrs. Sheng scooped up the teacup, poured a big mouthful, touched her mouth, put it back on the couch table with her heavy hand, and unceremoniously turned her head to call Shui Zhi to fill her up again.
"Mrs. Sheng likes this tea, so drink more, there is still no shortage of tea in the Cold Fragrance Pavilion." Mo Yuyuan smiled lightly, turned slightly sideways and negotiated with Mrs. Sheng, "I know it's not easy for you to come here, and the Ming people don't say secret words, I have understood the reason yesterday, is it that Ling Lang has been appreciated by the official and wants to do something in the mansion?" ”
As he spoke, the Lord of the Leng Xiang Pavilion turned his gaze and looked at Sheng Mingxuan. This was said tactfully, and the person who spoke also firmly took the lead, and the latter was even more aggressive as yesterday, and seemed to be vulgar, so he had to put on a somewhat embarrassing smile and say yes.
Sheng Yang also accompanied a few polite words, but Mrs. Sheng couldn't stand the praise the most, and she wanted to talk about it again, but was stopped by Sheng Mingxuan with a look. The master and servant of the ink mandarin man had a full view of the whole process, and they had inadvertently exchanged glances, and they were more sure in their hearts.
"It's so good, Qiu Xiao's girl is from a hard background, and I have heard about the Sheng family." Mo Yuyuan smiled and continued: "Naturally, my family is in the middle of the road, and I have to make a living as a last resort, so I can naturally understand the difficulties of being in charge of the family. ”
Speaking of this, the Lord of the Leng Xiang Pavilion deliberately paused, and looked at Mrs. Sheng deeply. The other party didn't know what was going on, so he only listened to Mo Yuyuan's solemn tone, and said: "The old sister is hardworking, pulling her son to grow up, and finally has hope, you should make more preparations, make this matter more secure, and it will not come to an end, but someone else has asked for that good errand, I feel wronged for your family." ”
The whole sentence did not leak from beginning to end, and the demeanor and rhetoric were all inappropriate and thoughtful, leaving no room for the Sheng family to interject, so anxious that Mrs. Sheng almost began to scratch her ears and cheeks in front of her, opened her mouth several times to speak, and was immediately blocked by the afterwords, so she could only pick up the teacup and drink tea, saving some face a little.
"That, I'm ......" Mrs. Sheng drank tea like a cow, and after a while, she had two cups at the bottom, and finally seized a gap to speak, the words were still swirling in her throat, and the lord of the Leng Xiang Pavilion had already bent her eyebrows, and waved her hand to signal the Sheng family to be calm and not to be impatient.
"What Mrs. Sheng wants to say, I understand." Mo Yu was constricted, his eyes were dark and disdainful, and he was still warm on the surface: "I have always had to do things under others, and I always have to bother to dredge up." It's just that no matter how much work is put into the side, it is not as good as having one's own person, always serving and accompanying the master, and saying a few thoughtful words is more effective. ”
This seems to be reasonable and pandering, but in fact, it is not shameful, and it is a naked satire of the Sheng family's selling women for glory. Mrs. Sheng's ancestors and grandchildren couldn't tell the difference, but the Sheng Mingxuan couple at the bottom blushed, and wanted to shout several times, watching the old lady nodding like a chicken pecking rice, she had already gone around, and she could only be in a hurry, so she simply twisted her neck, biting her cheeks and enduring it.
Mo Yu Yuanyuan just pretended not to notice: "Qiu Xiao has been in my Cold Fragrance Pavilion for many years, obedient and sensible, I am also distressed and loved, and I want her to have a good home in the future." I think that the old sister is her own mother, and it must be for her own good, so she brought the silver, came with the family, and took her out in a beautiful manner. ”
"Yes, yes, Madame. I don't have any flesh that doesn't hurt. Mrs. Sheng thought that Leng Xiangge was mainly relieved, and her heart was full of joy, and her words were respectful, "Then, you see, we still have the redemption money with us, and we will enter the city before dawn, just wait to take her home, and go out after the dowry, and then enter the official master's mansion, which is naturally happy." You see, this ...... Why don't you call her over? ”
Xu was overly excited, Mrs. Sheng's arms tightened, and her ten fingers were unconsciously clenched, almost forgetting that she still had the baby grandson in her arms. The child was strangled and cried out, "Oops, oops."
Mrs. Sheng suddenly noticed it, and quickly let go of her hand, but she was afraid that her grandson would run around and stir up the beautiful things that would come to her hands, so she didn't dare to let go, and hurriedly grabbed a piece of dim sum on the table and stuffed it over, and finally stopped for a while.
"You cunning, why are you so ignorant...... "As soon as she scolded, Mrs. Sheng stopped, raised her eyes and looked at the opposite side, the lord of the Leng Xiang Pavilion drank tea indifferently, and did not put the gaffes of her ancestors and grandchildren into her eyes; looked at the son and daughter-in-law next to him, he blushed to the base of his neck, and he couldn't wait to brush his sleeves away, and he didn't care about any important person.
"She has survived all these years, of course it is a good thing to be happy, but it is just ......" A slight crisp sound, Mo Yu Yuan put down the teacup, lowered his head and stroked his cuffs, and then the conversation changed, "Qiu Xiao is a good boy, he is in this realm, but his temperament is strong, and he refuses to go to the old man's mansion." Even if I let her out, it may not be able to help Ling Lang's future, in case it annoys the official, it will be bad, you say, isn't it? ”
This sudden rise of the army, Mrs. Sheng was unexpected, and she was only dumbfounded: "This, this...... You, what do you mean, you have talked so much with my wife and son, and you still refuse to let my daughter go! I'm going to sue you, force, force good to be a prostitute! ”
With two "poofs", Sheng Mingxuan and his wife jumped up together, and also began to threaten, mixed with many unclean words.
"What's your name? Before my wife finished speaking, she was so rude and noisy, I should go and call the nursing home, and a big stick went out! ”
Shui Zhi shouted loudly, Shui Fu has been guarding the door since he came in, and when he heard the words, he immediately pushed the door to leave. With yesterday's foreshadowing, this time it really calmed the Sheng family, one by one from fighting cocks to half-wilted frost-beaten eggplants, the arrogance was reduced by eight or nine times out of ten, and they sat back indignantly.
Mo Yuyuan looked calm throughout the whole process, and was not in a hurry to continue, so he dried half a cup of tea for the family. The child didn't care about his father and ancestors at all, only knew that the cakes were delicious, and they were rare to see in his own home all year round, and he couldn't help but gobble them up. When he reached out to grab the third piece, the Leng Xiang Pavilion Lord finally spoke, ending the stalemate.
"Mrs. Sheng is so generous, since I said that I understand your hard work, I naturally won't let your family run around in vain."
