Chapter 66: The Old Things Come Again
Mrs. Yan returned to her room.
I saw the big girl Mei Xiang kneeling on the ground and ordering tea.
Yan Bohe leaned on the couch with half of his body, stretched his neck and looked at Mei Xiang's hand: "Stupid to death, I ordered it so many times, I can't even bite the cup." ”
Mei Xiang's voice was delicate: "Master, the slave is a little stupid, you teach the slave again!" ”
"Okay, let's see the old man teach you how to order tea." Yan Bohe was just about to bend his body to grab Mei Xiang's hand and teach her to order tea by hand.
"Ahem!" Grandma Lin coughed dryly.
The two who were about to hug each other just now immediately separated.
Mei Xiang knelt on the ground, her body trembling: "Madam, the slave is learning some tea from the eldest master." ”
Mrs. Yan didn't look at Yan Bohe, who looked embarrassed: "I didn't stop you, you just have to continue, Grandma Lin, give me the ink, I want to repair a book and go to Chongning to close it." ”
Yan Bohe was suddenly annoyed, and raised his hand to knock the tea cup in Mei Xiang's hand away!
The black pottery teacup fell to the ground and shattered.
"If something doesn't go your way, you will write a letter to complain and threaten it, what else will you do besides the complaint?"
"Mei Xiang was originally the room I received for you, master, what should I sue? Zhen Zhen is back, and she always has to write to her grandfather's family to know, you are so angry, is it not that Zhen Zhen was held by mistake back then, and there is another inside story? Mrs. Yan sat down at the desk, stared at Yan Bohe and asked.
Yan Bohe also realized that he was a little too radical at this time, eased his expression, and said with a smile: "Madame is too worried, isn't she?" Where is there any inside story, I'm annoyed because the plum fragrance you chose for me is a little stupid, and I taught me a few times to order tea, but I can't even bite the cup, you know, as a husband, I just like the way of ordering tea. ”
"Just like tea? I'm afraid it's not true, right? Mrs. Yan said to herself, and then showed a gentle and graceful smile, as usual: "Mei Xiang is not only for you to make a room, but she is to serve you alone, and I am not the evil hostess." The rest room next to your study was given to her, and she will be there for you in the future. ”
Hearing this, Mei Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Tell Madame, the slave maid really ordered tea." ”
Grandma Lin added some water to the inkstone, picked up the ink strip and gently grinded it.
Mrs. Yan took out a gold-sprinkled plum blossom note, held it in her hand and looked at it: "Mei Xiang, clean up the tea set that the eldest master has dropped, and wait for the eldest master to rest in your small rest room for lunch." ”
Mei Xiang said yes, with a hint of surprise on her face.
Yan Bohe didn't want to have another seizure, so he got up and dusted off the corner of his clothes: "Madam, I got a few new jade tablets for my husband, and after resting for noon, I asked someone to send it to my husband and Mrs." ”
"Then thank you, sir." Mrs. Yan took the pen handed by Grandma Lin and looked at Yan Bohe, who was carried out by Mei Xiang, in a daze.
When there were only two people left in the room, she had been holding back tears for a long time: "Tell me how dare he ......?"
"Girl!" Grandma Lin gave a rare snort to Mrs. Yan, interrupting Mrs. Yan's words, after drinking, she walked quickly to the door, looked around, turned around to cover the door, and quickly returned to Mrs. Yan's side, then lowered her voice: "This must not be mentioned." The eldest master did this, if it is exposed, several families will be affected! ”
"I don't care, I have to give Zhen Zhen a proper name, it's a big deal that I will put her in her uncle's name." Mrs. Yan hugged Grandma Lin out of shape and cried.
Grandma Lin hurriedly persuaded her: "Girl, this is absolutely unacceptable, our Miss Zhen Zhen should be recorded in the genealogy of the big house, which is justified." The old man can't carry it, but someone can carry it, our one-"
Grandma Lin pointed in the direction of Boyun Courtyard.
"--Last time the old lady was sick, no one saw him, only saw our Miss Zhenzhen, and the old slave saw that he just wanted to support Miss Zhenzhen!"
"After all, it's a grandfather, and my grandmother is gone, and it's a generation." Mrs. Yan cried for a while, and then picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Fortunately, Zhen Zhen has found it back, and I will slowly deal with Uncle Yan and that guy for the rest of the matter." He thinks about things that are wishful, but I don't want to call him wishful. ”
"But how can the girl promise Miss Zhen Zhen not to marry?" Grandma Lin complained to her in a low voice: "This kind of thing, how can you allow her casually?" ”
"If Zhen Zhen is elected, I can't be the master, as long as she is not elected, how happy Zhen Zhen is, I will allow her." Mrs. Yan grabbed Grandma Lin's hand: "Grandma Jiang, she-I'm so disappointed, there are only you and Zhen Zhen by my side." ”
"It's a pity that our girl is a deep lady, otherwise ......" Grandma Lin hugged Mrs. Yan's shoulders and sobbed a few times with Mrs. Yan: "Just as Grandma Jiang is the girl's distressed adopted daughter and gave it to her, they will be masters and servants in the future, and we will not interfere." ”
Speaking of Grandma Jiang, Mrs. Yan's face sank: "My adopted daughter, do you want her to hurt?" ”
Grandma Lin saw that she was displeased, and quickly closed her voice.
"I'll fix a book now, and you will personally send it to the pen and ink shop. I asked when my father and brother would leave for Beijing to report on their work, so I could make some preparations. Mrs. Yan dipped the ink in advance, took the letter in her hand after writing it, blew it gently, waited for the ink stains on the paper to dry and put it in the envelope, and handed it to Grandma Lin: "You go to my dowry items and find a list of land deeds located in East Third Street, Sanjin mansion, the Sanjin mansion has been uninhabited for a long time, and it will be repaired and given to my father and brother to live in Beijing when they are in Beijing." ”
In the Songhe Courtyard, several craftsmen faced the stove, and some didn't know how to start: "Third Miss, if the water cellar is dug under the stove, the stove will collapse." ”
"Just dig this head, say it's a water cellar, and it may not release water, put it here to hide some secret and private objects, even thieves can't think of it, I will hide things in this kind of place." Yan Zhenzhen was inspired by the underground ice cellar on the other side of the warehouse to dig such a "secret room"
When several craftsmen heard this, they immediately excavated, and the third lady was the master, and since she commanded it, the craftsmen naturally did it.
The sky was dark, and a craftsman said to Qiu Yun, who was guarding the courtyard: "We're done, why don't you tell the young lady about it?" ”
Qiu Yun took the reward money that had been prepared and gave it to the craftsman: "A few people have worked hard, this is the money that our young lady has rewarded you with for eating and drinking." The young lady instructed me to send a few out. ”
The reward was heavy and very rich, and the craftsman and several others were happy to thank Yan Zhenzhen in the house. After that, he was led by Qiu Yun.
"Miss, where is the secret room placed under the stove?" Chunyun is puzzled, even if the water cellar is placed there, it is extremely inconvenient, in case the big house really runs out of water, isn't it too inconvenient to take water from under the stove?
"It's called ingenuity, and the next time there's something like an embroidered image, I'll hide it there, and the thief won't be able to find it if he's tired to death." Yan Zhenzhen naturally had other plans, she didn't say it to anyone.
