Chapter Seventy-Seven: Holding the Incense and Worshipping the Wrong Bodhisattva
Chapter Seventy-Seven: Holding the Incense and Worshiping the Wrong Bodhisattva
When the concierge brought the word in, Aunt Juan received the news that the old lady was coming back, and when she said it, Shang Ruonan was eating the bone broth stewed according to her wishes. Because Shang Ruonan said that what to eat and what to make up, this pig bone is considered bad by everyone, and there is no meat, but Miss said that what to eat and what to make up may also make sense. That's why Aunt Juan went to the kitchen to make it.
To say, usually, people under the pig bones don't like to eat very much. Because of the weight and place, but there are not a few bites of meat. It is usually thrown to dogs. But this time, it's the master who wants to eat. The cooks did as their masters told. I just whispered behind my back.
Shang Ruonan was eating, and heard that the old lady was coming back, according to the information he got recently. This old lady is her own cheap grandmother.
However, according to what I knew in the past, this grandmother was not a good person. Just because she is not at home, she says that the power is handed over to her mother, but she still lets her people take charge of all parts of the house, so that people know. This person has a great desire for power!
Hear Aunt Juan's words. Shang Ruonan looked up at his mother-in-law who was sitting on the side with him. Sure enough, I saw that my mother's face was a little bad.
"What did the master say?"
"The master went out, saying that Master Hu invited him. The messenger was just a little nun, and Changgen sent her some silver. Then he left, apparently, only to bring a letter. ”
Look at the sky, it's almost time. It's tomorrow when I pick it up. Shu Yunniang said:
"You send a message to the outer courtyard, if the master comes back, let the master come directly."
Aunt Juan answered, turned around and went out.
Shang Ruonan didn't know it in the first place, and wanted to inquire about some things about this old lady, and second, he wanted to pretend not to know. People who have been injured and have lost their amnesia. So, watch Aunt Juan go out. He asked:
"Mother, who is the old lady?"
"Your grandmother. Foolish..... Oh, Xiao Si'er can't remember. The old lady is your grandmother, your father's mother. ”
"Oh, I still have my grandmother, where has my grandmother gone?"
Nianlan, who was sitting with her, shouted:
"Wakao! Eat quickly, wait a minute, my sister will tell you. ”
Nianlan said as she gave Ruonan a look, she was worried that her mother would think of some sad things again, so she interrupted Ruonan's questioning.
But Ruonan had already heard it from her mouth. also knows that Nianlan and the other sisters and sisters have an obedient attitude towards this grandmother. But what I want to know is my grandmother, and one person's point of view will determine the person's attitude towards the other.
Ruonan felt that he needed to know what his grandmother was like in the eyes of his mother. So, she pretended not to understand the eldest sister's movements, and then asked:
"Oh, so our grandmother lives in the nunnery?"
Shu Yunniang didn't expect this little kid to have so many eyes, so she smiled bitterly and said:
"It's not. My grandmother was still living at home. It's just that my mother can't give birth to a son, so my grandmother lives in the temple. ”
Mrs. Shang's somewhat unresolved tone made Ruonan feel a little distressed, so she continued:
"There are no boys in the nunnery, and the nuns are all women. She asked her son, she should go to the Bodhisattva in the temple! I think my grandmother is holding incense and worshipping the wrong Bodhisattva! ”
Mrs. Shang, who was taking a sip of water, was shocked by her daughter's words. coughed again and again, so frightened that Xiangyu and Vanilla hurriedly stepped forward to give their wife a good breath.
Nian Lan also looked at her little sister dumbfounded. Shang Ruonan didn't feel that he had said anything wrong, and pretended not to understand anything. In fact, she didn't believe in any bodhisattva who could give birth to a son.
I didn't expect to say a word in passing, so that my mother choked. was also busy trying to come over, but Nianlan hurriedly stopped her and said:
"Don't move, don't touch your hand!"
Mrs. Shang also waved her hand again and again, signaling her not to come. After a while, the merchant and the lady came to their senses, probably because they choked, and the two in their stomachs were also busy, punching and kicking. This made Shang Ruonan feel amazing. She saw with her own eyes that her mother's clothes moved here and there, and her mother stretched out her hand to touch it.
"Mother, my brother is moving!"
I don't know why, Shang Ruonan thinks it's his younger brother. Therefore, when I saw Shu Yunniang's stomach moving, I wanted to reach out and touch it. Nianlan, who was standing on the side, was protecting her sister.
Aunt Juan was a little surprised on the side and said:
"Fourth Miss, do you really see that it's my younger brother?"
"Huh?"
If you want to see it, you don't see it. It's just that Shang Ruonan just thinks that it is his younger brother.
"Madam, look at it, the fourth young lady is smart, and now the fourth young lady is said to be the little young master. Don't worry so much. Sleep well at night. If you raise it well, the child will be good. ”
Mrs. Shang sighed deeply and said:
"How can I not be in a hurry, I am going to be thirty years old, and if this birth is born, I can't regenerate. If only ......"
Shang Ruonan, who was listening on the side, understood, recently his mother was often a little distracted, and she was a little tired, it seemed that she was worried that she would not sleep well at night.
And seeing that the eldest sister was also sinking expression, Shang Ruonan knew, and the eldest sister and the second sister were afraid that they were also a little worried about this. It seems that without a son, the pressure on the family is really not small!
"Mother, you don't have to worry, it's a son or a daughter, it doesn't matter! For you and your father, what you're worried about is what you'll do when you're old. So what if you don't have a son? You have seven of our daughters, and these two in your womb. As long as we are filial to you, we will be better than those who have sons. ”
Shu Yunniang tugged at the corners of her mouth, nodded, looked at the eldest daughter and the fourth daughter, I don't know why, listening to the little fourth daughter say this, it was like taking a reassuring pill.
However, when he thought that his mother-in-law was coming back, he frowned again and said:
"Juan, you go to Hui'an Hall first and tell the people there to clean up. The old lady is coming back. ”
Cuckoo nodded, turned and went out.
Shang Ruonan finished the soup in the bowl and asked:
"Where is Hui'an Hall?"
Shang Ruonan thinks that the Shang Mansion he has walked through is big enough, but he didn't see this Hui'an Hall.
Nianlan looked at her sister distressedly and said:
"Have you forgotten all this? Hui'an Hall is where our grandmother lived. Aren't there two corridors to enter through the second gate of our backyard? This is where we live, and the other way is over, and there is a yard over there, and the original second grandfather's family lives over there. Later, Grandpa Tai divided them. In addition, they were given a house, and they were taken away. ”
Shang Ruonan was a little surprised, I have to think about it, what does the eldest sister mean, Shang Dongliang lives in a big house here, and there is a second room over there, so how big does this business have to be?
