Chapter 26: Provocation (2)
Yuan Shanniang took the maid and left in high spirits.
Mother Hua wiped Qingshu's tears and comforted her: "Girl, don't cry, Mrs. has always been so out of tune, don't take her words to heart." ”
She wished that Yuan Shanniang would be as good as possible. But obviously, Yuan Shanniang doesn't really have no brains at all.
"I'm fine." After wiping away her tears, Qingshu went back to the main courtyard with Mother Hua.
Mother Zhong saw that her eyes were red and asked, "What's wrong with the girl?" ”
Qingshu didn't want to tell the truth, so he shook his head and said, "The sand blew into my eyes." ”
Mother Zhong didn't continue to ask, the only people who can make the cousin feel wronged in the Gu family are the wife and the eldest young master.
At noon, Mrs. Gu came back. Seeing Qingshu's sorrow, Mrs. Gu asked worriedly, "Qingshu, are you uncomfortable?" ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "I'm fine." Grandma, I don't live in that yard, don't let people clean it up anymore. ”
Old Lady Gu was so shrewd, she asked with a cold face, "Did your aunt say something?" ”
Qingshu hung his head and didn't speak.
Old Mrs. Gu didn't force Qingshu to say, but said, "If you like it, you can go and live, don't be afraid of her." This family is still my grandmother now. ”
Qingshu hugged Mrs. Gu and said softly, "Grandma, you have to be good." Grandma, you must live a long life. ”
She wants this yard, in fact, it is also a temptation. Tested Yuan Shanniang, whether it was really easy for her to guess that she was so vicious, but as a result, this woman didn't even admit what she had said. Such a person with no bottom line can't do anything.
Old Mrs. Gu said happily: "If you live a long life, wouldn't you become an old goblin." But don't worry, why does your grandmother have to watch you get married and have children before she is willing to close her eyes. ”
Hearing this, Qingshu's tears fell to the ground, her grandmother must have been killed. As for whether Yuan Shanniang is alone or with Gu Heping, it is unknown. But no matter who it is, she won't let it go.
Mrs. Gu didn't expect her joke to provoke such a big reaction from Qingshu: "Don't cry, my obedient don't cry." You can rest assured that my grandmother will live to be 100 years old. ”
coaxed for a long time before Qingshu showed a smile.
Taking advantage of Qingshu's nap, Mrs. Gu called Mother Hua over: "What did Yuan Shanniang say to Qingshu to make that child react so much?" ”
Mother Hua told Mrs. Gu what Yuan Shanniang said today, not a word.
Old Lady Gu's eyes flashed fiercely.
Mother Hua said: "Old lady, Mrs. is getting more and more excessive. Old lady, you can't let it go any longer. ”
She has been persuading Mrs. Gu to restrain Yuan Shanniang, but unfortunately Mrs. Gu didn't listen, and Yuan Shanniang was in the house.
"Tube? How? "It's not like she didn't care. At the worst time, she sent Yuan Shanniang back to Yuan's house. But the front foot was sent away, and the back foot Gu Heping came to intercede. She didn't agree, Gu Heping went to Yuan's house to visit Yuan Shanniang every day. In this way, it only fueled Yuan Shanniang's arrogance.
After a few times, she didn't bother to care. Anyway, it wasn't her who hurt in the end.
Mother Hua said: "Old lady, I think what Mrs. Qi said is not unreasonable. Old lady, you can marry the eldest man a second room! In this way, the eldest master will not obey the words of Yuan's aunt and nephew in everything. ”
The eldest master was originally filial, and when the pillow was blown by the wind, the estrangement between him and his master was getting bigger and bigger.
Old Madam Gu shook her head and said, "Don't say this again in the future." She had always hated concubines, and she did not allow her husband to take concubines. She has nothing to do with what she wants, she won't stop Gu Heping from taking a concubine, but she won't do such a thing.
Mother Hua said, "Old lady, my cousin has now opened her mind." Mrs. is always so cynical, not to mention that the cousin girl will live in the Gu family in the future, I am afraid that she will not dare to come to the door. ”
Now in Mrs. Gu's heart, Qingshu is the most important, and even Gu Xian has to take a step back. Mother Hua's words pinched the seven inches of Old Lady Gu.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu was silent, Mother Hua continued: "Now the eldest lord is very much for the Yuan family's aunt and nephew, and if this trend continues, in the future, the aunt will not support her if she is wronged in the Lin family." ”
Old Lady Gu was silent for a long time and then said, "Let me think about this. ”
I didn't agree, but I didn't oppose it as violently as I used to. It's good to loosen up, as long as she pushes harder, she believes that the old lady will agree.
The next few days were calm.
That night, Mrs. Gu and Qingshu said, "Tomorrow is the birthday of Mrs. County Ling, and my grandmother is going to the banquet." Qingshu, you go with me! ”
Qingshu nodded and said, "Okay." ”
On the second day, Qingshu was freshening up, and Mother Hua came in with a small mahogany box.
In the small box, there is a red gold collar. The collar was inlaid with several rubies, the middle one the size of a dragon's eye core.
Qingshu was shocked when he saw this Yingluo collar. Not to mention the others, these ruby gems are worth hundreds of taels of silver. And this workmanship is also very exquisite, and it can't be taken down without seven or eight hundred taels of silver.
Take out such a valuable collar casually, how rich her grandmother is!
Mother Hua took out the collar and put it on Qingshu.
Qingshu touched the ruby in the middle of the collar and hesitated: "Mom, I still don't wear it, what should I do if I lose it?" ”
In fact, she is not afraid of losing it, but she thinks that this circle is too conspicuous. If she catches the eyes of someone with a heart, she doesn't want to be kidnapped.
Mother Hua smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, Xingyu and Jiaoxing will accompany you at that time." ”
At this moment, the maid outside raised her voice and said, "Old lady, Mrs. has come to say goodbye." ”
Qingshu didn't want to wear this ring, but he changed his mind. She only wore a longevity gold lock and a shrimp bracelet before, and Yuan Shanniang was resentful. If you want to see this Yingluo collar, I'm afraid that I will swallow her heart alive.
Yuan Shanniang has something to ask the old lady this time: "Mother-in-law, I want to pay five months' monthly money." ”
"There is no shortage of food at home, you are not short of clothing, what are you doing with so much money?"
Yuan Shanniang wanted to hide it, but unfortunately she couldn't hide it, as long as the old lady asked people to inquire, she would know: "My little brother is optimistic about others, and he will be hired after the Dragon Boat Festival." My mother was sick some time ago and used up all the savings in the family, so she wanted to borrow a hundred taels of silver from me to buy a dowry for my brother. ”
It sounds good to borrow, not a meat bun beating a dog without returning. It's just that Yuan's mother cried with Yuan Shanniang for a long time, and she agreed as soon as her heart softened.
The younger brother marries and wants to marry the elder sister who pays for the dowry, and this kind of thing can be done by shameless people like the Yuan family. However, Mrs. Gu already knew the virtues of the Yuan family, so she didn't raise her eyelids at the moment: "The business in the shop has not been very good recently, and there is no money in the account." Advance five months' monthly money, this is certainly not a no-go. ”
Yuan Shanniang clenched her fists angrily. It costs a few hundred taels to the thief girl, and she doesn't have a monthly amount of money for a few months. This old woman is really biased.
Yuan Shanniang held back her anger and said, "Then I'll advance two months' monthly money first." ”
Old Madam Gu waved her hand and said, "This is the last time, and you are not allowed to advance monthly money in the future." Otherwise, each one is like you, and he must not mess around. ”
Yuan Shanniang lowered her head and said, "Yes, mother." She was afraid to look up and let Old Lady Gu see the hatred in her eyes.
ps: Tomorrow's five watches, the time is uncertain.
