Chapter 11: She's a Good One
Outside the ancestral hall.
The two mothers-in-law took out the gossip they had heard during dinner in the kitchen tonight and chatted about it.
"Hey, you know what? Yesterday, the eldest lady went out, and it was personally sent back by His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
"I've heard about it for a long time! I went out to buy groceries today, and I heard people on the street talking about it! ”
"Huh? This matter has spread outside the house? ”
"No, I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World accompanied the eldest lady for an afternoon out yesterday and said a lot of things!"
"Is what you're saying true? How did I hear that His Royal Highness the Prince was going to withdraw from the marriage a few days ago? ”
"What you said was a few days ago, our eldest lady is so good-looking, His Royal Highness the Prince has never seen it before, this hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, this time, naturally I can't bear it!"
"Then we'll have to wait for you in the future!"
……
Luo Yingxue knelt on the futon in the ancestral hall, her legs were already numb, and when she heard the content of the discussion between the two mothers-in-law outside the door, her face was almost blue!
The handkerchief in her hand was almost stirred by her, and a strong hatred spread over her eyes: "Luo, Shuang, Yi!" ”
After all, he was confined to his feet, and he couldn't visit him if he got the old lady's words, and it was not convenient to come and visit at any time in midsummer, so he waited until the next day to stuff the silver in.
"Miss!"
Midsummer called softly, and carefully took out the meatloaf hidden in his arms: "This is the slave maid just brought from the kitchen, it's still hot, you eat it!" ”
The people in the ancestral hall have all made mistakes and been punished, so there is nothing to entertain in terms of food, but she stole these two meatloafs with great difficulty!
Luo Yingxue smelled the aroma of meatloaf and was already hungry, but when she thought of hearing the chatter of the two mothers-in-law outside yesterday, all her appetite was gone.
She couldn't wait to look at Midsummer, wanting to seek an answer: "Tell me quickly, what has Luo Shuangyi done in the past few days?" ”
Midsummer truthfully told what Luo Shuangyi had done these days, Luo Yingxue asked her to stare at Luo Shuangyi, but she didn't relax for a moment, even when she went to the street, she followed.
After Luo Yingxue heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "You mean, Luo Shuangyi went to find the 'Yunde Opera Troupe' in Ping'an Lane?" ”
"Yes!" Midsummer nodded.
Luo Yingxue hung her head, and a trace of calculation flashed in her eyes.
"Miss, the slave will pinch your legs!" Midsummer stepped forward and gently pressed it on Luo Yingxue's leg.
Luo Yingxue looked at the meatloaf in her hand and took a hard bite!
Since entering this ancestral hall, those dogs who look down on people have sent her either vegetables or tofu every day, and her face is almost full of vegetables.
"Inside, okay? If you don't come out again, if you let the old lady know, you and I won't have good fruit to eat! Outside the door, there was the urging voice of the mother-in-law.
"Hey, it's coming!" Sheng Xia hurriedly responded, turned back to Luo Yingxue and said, "Miss, the slave maid will leave first, you can bear with it, and when the old lady has a birthday banquet, you will definitely be released!" ”
"Well, there you go!" Luo Yingxue waved her hand, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes: Luo Shuangyi, don't you want to please the old lady? This time, I'm going to make you completely lose face in front of everyone!
The list of banquets has been written, and with the help of the two mothers-in-law, the general matters of the birthday banquet have been almost prepared, and Luo Shuangyi is lying on the table, which is covered with messy paper.
She woke up from her dream, looking at the mess on the table, and her eyes were still covered with red bloodshots.
Luo Shuangyi rubbed his eyes, stretched his long waist, looked at the results of his all-night rush on the table, and smiled with satisfaction.
Finally rushed out, she looked at the script handed over by the Yunde opera troupe, there were only a few, there had been no innovation for so many years, and they were all tragic stories, she thought that the old man was old and couldn't see these sad things, so she wrote a script herself.
The play takes the route of warmth, and also adds some heroic deeds of the old lady during her lifetime, praising the great spirit of the old lady, and finally ending the story with a happy ending.
On a whim last night, the inspiration was endless, writing and changing, and before she knew it, it was dawn, she moved her muscles and bones, this stay up late is really hurting her muscles and bones!
It's just that these things, she looks good or good, but others may not be able to agree, after all, after thousands of years, the preferences between people will naturally be a little different.
This script has to be shown to others first!
Can...... To whom?
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Luo Shuangyi's eyes lit up: There is!
She sorted out and summarized the written play book and brought it to Luo Shuangyi's original mother to see, she was still a little apprehensive in her heart, but after getting her mother's affirmation, Luo Shuangyi became more confident in her heart.
The gift of the birthday banquet must have a sense of mystery in order for the parties to feel the greatest happiness, so before Luo Shuangyi came back from his mother's courtyard, he repeatedly told his grandmother that he must not tell his grandmother about this matter, so he happily went back to Wushuang Courtyard with his play book to make up for sleep.
The old lady has seen what Luo Shuangyi has done in the past few days, and the two grandmothers in her ears have been saying good things about her in her ears since they went to Wushuang Hospital, and the old lady believes that Luo Shuangyi has really grown up this time, and her every move is much more sensible than in the past!
On this day, the grandmothers talked to the old lady about what they had seen and heard in Wushuang Courtyard in the past few days, and said how many things Luo Shuangyi had prepared for this birthday banquet and how much thought she had spent.
The old lady was happy to hear this, and she had eaten half a bowl more during the meal these days.
Thinking of Luo Shuangyi's running around for the birthday banquet in the past few days, the old lady's eyes showed a hint of relief: "Yi'er, she is a good child!" ”
The two grandmothers hurriedly responded, but no, after observing them in the past few days, the eldest lady has changed a lot, and before, it is like two people!
"The old slave also heard that the eldest lady specially invited the 'Yunde Opera Troupe' in order to celebrate your birthday, and personally wrote the script for your birthday banquet?" Mama Zhang suppressed her voice and whispered, this is the news he heard from the courtyard over there.
When the old lady heard this, she felt that these two mothers-in-law were simply praising her granddaughter to the sky, this girl, where would she write a playbook?
The old lady poked her mother-in-law's head and said with a smile: "I don't believe it, you two, I'm about to praise her as a flower, I don't know how many pounds and taels that girl has. ”
When Mama Zhang heard this, she was immediately unhappy: "Old lady, what you said is to wronged the old slave, the eldest lady personally took the play book to Qingshuang Courtyard, and the aunt and the mothers-in-law around her applauded it, so can there be a fake?" ”
"Did she really write me a play book herself?" When the old lady heard this, she instantly refreshed!
Could it be that she underestimated the girl?
Mama Zhang knew that the old lady believed it a little: "Really! However, when the old slave heard that the eldest lady had covered the play book tightly, no one was allowed to see it, and no one was allowed to spread it to the people in the courtyard! ”
The old lady listened to her mother-in-law's words, and the joy in her heart overflowed from the corners of her eyes: That girl is really a good one!
Ancestral temple.
"Oops, my belly! My stomach hurts! ”
In the ancestral hall, Luo Yingxue's shout suddenly sounded, and the two mothers-in-law guarding the door glanced at each other, and one of them hurriedly broke in: "Second Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Even if she is no longer favored, after all, she is a young lady, if something really happens, when the prince blames him, no one can afford it!
Luo Yingxue's face was pale and she looked very painful.
"Are you sick, slave maid, go and report to the old lady!" After saying that, the mother-in-law was about to run out.
"Wait a minute!" Luo Yingxue hurriedly spoke, "I just came to Kwai Shui, it's not in the way, you go and talk to my maid, and let her bring what I want to use." ”
The mother-in-law looked at Luo Yingxue suspiciously, is this really possible?
Luo Yingxue was afraid that she really told the old lady, so she hurriedly said pitifully: "The old lady must still be angry with me now, if you go at this time, maybe you will be implicated, just ask the two of you to go to my yard and bring a word, the maid next to me knows how to do it!" ”
While speaking, Luo Yingxue took off the bracelet on her wrist and stuffed it into the woman's hand.
The mother-in-law knows that Luo Yingxue is not favored, the old lady's birthday banquet is coming, and she has been very busy recently, and she must not have the time to take care of it, so they just went, maybe it was really thankless!
The mother-in-law hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then you wait here, I'll let Midsummer come over!" ”
It didn't take long for Midsummer to come to the ancestral hall with what the woman said, and looked at Luo Yingxue lying on the futon, her face was full of worry.
"Miss, are you alright?"
She stepped forward and quickly helped Luo Yingxue up, Luo Yingxue raised her eyes and saw that the woman was not inside, and immediately took off the disguise on her face.
"Midsummer, quick, take off your clothes!"
"Ahh Midsummer was startled and subconsciously covered his chest.
Luo Yingxue explained a little impatiently: "I'm going to go out, you hurry up and take off your clothes!" ”
Sheng Xia knew that she was just a slave maid, and she didn't have any right to ask what the young lady wanted to do, so she hurriedly took off her clothes.
"I'll be back soon, and in the meantime, you will stay in this ancestral hall, and whoever comes, don't make a sound, do you hear?"
"Miss, be careful!"
After pretending to be in the middle of summer, Luo Yingxue walked out of the ancestral hall through the back door and went straight to the "Yunde Opera Troupe." ”
The head of the class looked at the big bag full of silver given by Luo Yingxue, and his eyes lit up: "What does Miss want us to do?" ”
Luo Yingxue's face was hidden under the veil: "When the time comes, I will naturally tell you!" ”
A trace of hesitation began to appear on the face of the class leader, they knew a lot about the private affairs of this big family, although this young lady gave a lot of money, but they didn't want to take their lives because of it.
"Don't worry, it's not a hurtful thing, it's just a play for you."
The class leader hurriedly smiled and nodded: "Okay, good!" When the time comes, we will listen to you, Miss! ”
