Chapter 156: Means
"This ......," the old man was startled when he heard this, "this is too serious, isn't it?" ”
"It's useless to keep this scourge, let's get out after the execution." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "If there is someone who wants to intercede for him, then leave with him." ”
As soon as these words came out, no one dared to intercede for him anymore, the man saw Chu Yue'an's expression was cold, not like a joke, knowing that he had caused a big disaster this time, he hurriedly slapped himself a few times, and begged for mercy: "Good girl, living Bodhisattva, I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong, I don't dare, please spare me this time, I really don't dare!" I apologize, I apologize to a few young ladies, just now I was talking nonsense, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore, I don't dare to move my hands and feet again, please you, spare me this time. ”
"What are you still doing?" Chu Yue'an asked coldly, "It's my words, don't you understand?" ”
The two servants of the Hou Mansion immediately stepped forward and dragged the guy down.
Chu Yuean glanced at everyone with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, as long as you are well-behaved, the Hou Mansion will not treat you badly, so get busy." ”
Only then did the crowd disperse with palpitations.
Chu Yueyun swallowed her saliva: "Second sister, you are a little ruthless." ”
"Now there are rumors in Zhuangzi that I am killing chickens to show monkeys, telling everyone to take care of their mouths." Chu Yue'an said lightly, she glanced at Chu Yuexi, "Can you get angry?" ”
Chu Yuexi nodded, she looked at her second sister with some fear, and asked herself if she dared to cut people's tongues and hands?
Chu Yueyun said: "This kind of scumbag, even if he deserves it, he is used to running rampant around here, and there is really no one to cure him!" Can't let this kind of person affect the mood, let's eat game! ”
Saying that, a few people went back to the house, and set up a fire in the yard, and Uncle Li took the hares and pheasants that he had brought back to peel them, and they had to climb for a while, and the three sisters took advantage of this effort to greet the old lady.
Mama Sun was waiting for the old lady to have breakfast, and the old lady smiled: "This new millet is delicious, this spring water is sweeter than well water, I can only eat one bowl on weekdays, but today I have eaten two bowls." ”
"It's a blessing to be able to eat." Grandma Sun smiled, "The old lady will have another bowl." ”
"I won't eat it." The old lady waved her hand and smiled, "When people are old, this digestion is not good, and it is easy to accumulate food if you eat too much." ”
At this time, Grandma Sun's daughter-in-law, Pu Shi, entered and told her about the riot that happened outside and Chu Yue'an's handling method, but there were some complaints about Chu Yue'an's cruel methods, which affected the neighborhood relations around here.
The old lady listened silently, without speaking, and the maid offered ginseng tea, she took a sip, and held the teacup in her hand to keep warm.
Mama Sun understood the old lady, and when she saw her attitude, she immediately smiled and said: "This second young lady has good means, and she is worthy of being a person who came out of the old lady's side!" This trick kills the chicken to show the monkey, we are not good, and we have to come to the Hou Mansion, the second lady has such a decision, but people can't believe that this is a teenage girl! ”
The old lady nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "A few girls are used to being pampered, and they will cause trouble when they come out, if there is a gap in this neighborhood relationship, you have to maintain it, but if they don't want to stay here, they don't want to renew the lease, we don't need to embarrass them, they can go wherever they want, we won't stop them." ”
"The Hou Mansion is merciful, who of them doesn't know? Where can they find such a good master after leaving the Hou Mansion? Grandma Sun smiled, "It's all the fault of the old slaves, they lack discipline on weekdays, and they dare to even criticize the Hou Mansion." ”
She glared at her daughter-in-law, thought she was talkative, and said unhappily: "It's what you should do to take care of the mouths of the people below, and you even have to do it for the young lady, you are embarrassed to come over and talk about it, why don't you go out and prepare breakfast for the young ladies!" ”
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will go down and prepare."
After a while, the three sisters of Chu Yue'an came to greet the old lady, and by the way, they told them what had just happened.
"I already know what happened to Fang Cai." The old lady said, "Although there is nothing wrong with you handling it like this, but since this place has been handed over to Grandma Sun to take care of, you still have to inform her, and I will remember it in the future." ”
"Yes." Chu Yuean lowered his eyes and said.
"Originally, I took you out to relax, but I didn't know that this is not a quiet place, I know that you have been wronged." The old lady said, "It's not as good as the capital, there are not so many rules, fortunately, the surrounding mountains and rivers are beautiful, you guys walk more on weekdays, remember to bring people, I heard that there are weasels stealing chickens around here, you should be careful of encountering them." ”
Chu Yueyun said with a smile: "Grandmother, I'm very good today, I have beaten two hares and a pheasant, let's eat game later!" I'll go down to the mountains again, and I'll make two foxes for your grandmother!" ”
"That's amazing!" The old lady laughed, "You are a girl's family, just pay attention to safety." ”
Chu Yue'an found out that after leaving the Hou Mansion in the capital, the old lady was also a lot kinder, just like an ordinary grandmother in the countryside, teasing her grandson. Thinking about the bustling capital, the magnificent Hou Mansion, but there is a part that suppresses human nature, after entering that environment, it will subconsciously maintain that order, so that all the most basic things in human nature are gradually buried.
The fire in the yard was soon burning, and Uncle Li put the peeled game stick through and roasted it slowly.
The maids brought a few small chairs over and told the girls to watch the fun.
Chu Yue still remembered the mother Zhang she had seen last night, so she left first, and asked a few people in the house before finding her.
Mother Zhang was tending to the livestock in the backyard, Chu Yue'an took a few steps forward and shouted, "Mother Zhang." ”
Mother Zhang turned around and saw that Chu Yue'an had come to the livestock shed, and hurriedly said, "Oh, little ancestor, this place is dirty, but it's not the place you should come." ”
"Mother Zhang, I have some doubts in my heart and want to ask Mother Zhang, I hope you can tell the truth." Chu Yuean said.
Mother Zhang wiped her hands on her apron and said a little crampedly: "The second lady wants to know what to say, the old slave knows and will definitely tell you." ”
"Didn't Zhang's mother return to her hometown to care for the elderly? How can you be here to serve the animals? Chu Yue'an asked suspiciously, "You are an old man from the Hou Mansion, and you should be put back to live in your old age when you are old, how can you do such rough work here?" ”
"What is going back to the hometown to retire, that is to save face for the old slave, the old slave made a mistake back then, was expelled from the Hou Mansion, and has nowhere to go, Grandma Sun remembers some old feelings, let me come here, so there is a place to stay."
"Oh? Didn't you serve by my mother's side, and my mother drove you away? Chu Yuean frowned and asked.
"The first lady is kind, the old slave has never seen such a kind person, even if the subordinates make any mistakes, she will laugh it off, and will not pursue it. The old slave still remembers that at that time, Mrs. Xian was pregnant for several months, and her belly slowly grew bigger, and the doctor said that the belly was a boy, and we all did our best to serve, that was the concubine of the Hou Mansion! ”
After a pause, Zhang's mother continued: "Later, I went to the account room to give Mrs. Xian to make up for the ginseng, the account room said that I received three, but the kitchen said that they received two, I jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it, at that time Aunt Zhao, who was still a concubine, was in power, how did Mrs. Dexian intercede, or drove the old slave out, the second lady and the old man were really wronged, the old slave really didn't take that ginseng!" Later, I came to this Zhuangzi, and it didn't take long to hear that Mrs. Xian died in childbirth, poor ah, such a good person, why don't you live long! ”
"After you were driven away by the Zhao family, the Zhao family arranged for someone else to replace you?" Chu Yue'an asked.
"Naturally, after I left, a grandmother surnamed Cui took over from me, and later I heard that not long after, the henchmen and maids who had been serving for six or seven years by Mrs. Xian's side were also sent away because of some small servants." Zhang's mother said, "Later, I thought, how dangerous it is for this first lady to give birth at such a critical time, but there is no one who knows the roots." ”
She looked at Chu Yue'an, stopped talking, and sighed: "It's always dangerous." ”
"I see, thank you, Mother Zhang." Chu Yue'an smiled lightly and took a silver ticket to Zhang's mother, "Take it." ”
Mother Zhang looked at the denomination of the silver ticket and was shocked: "One thousand taels!" This can't be helped, Second Miss, this can't be helped! This is too much, the old slave doesn't dare to accept it! ”
"After all these years, you still remember my mother, I have received this friendship, you can take this silver ticket, find an opportunity to leave here, buy some production areas, and retire with peace of mind." Chu Yue'an smiled lightly, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to Ninghou Mansion to find me." ”
Mother Zhang wiped her tears, held Chu Yue'an's hand and said movingly: "Good girl, you will have good fortune, you will definitely have good fortune in the future." ”
After Zhang's mother's words, I think what Ling Huan said is true, her mother's death is indeed a bit strange, and several henchmen around her mother have been sent away, thinking that this must be Zhao's handiwork. I thought that their grievances were just her thoughts and tried to harm herself, but it turned out to have started ten years ago.
Anyway, if you want to completely uncover your face, what about one more case? She has done too many evil things, so why die a pity?
Ten years ago, Chu Yue'an was only six years old, and the memory of her mother in her mind was not so clear, and now all she can remember is that she looks good when she laughs, and her hands are very soft, and she is always so gentle, as if she will never be angry.
Mother, Chu Yue'an silently recited these two words, the memories of the two lives have slowly merged in her mind, she can't tell which memories are her own and which are the original owner's, but it doesn't matter, she accepts all these memories, so the revenge that should be avenged must be avenged by her personally!
