Chapter 81: Spring Peach and Its People
Chapter 81 Spring Peach and Its People
Nianlan knew this mother-in-law, and everyone called her Mrs. Ge. It was the old lady who was merciful, and a beggar woman she met on the road brought her here, and usually helped the old lady take care of the flowers and plants in this courtyard.
Mrs. Ge is a rough person, she doesn't know much etiquette, and when she saw the eldest lady coming, she didn't even do it. Just shouted into the house. Then he turned and went back to water her flowers.
Shang Nianlan was still a little confused now, but she didn't care. But Lily snorted softly, but didn't say anything.
The curtain of the door in the room was opened, and a big girl came out of it, saying that it was a big girl, and it was really bigger than several lilies. She wears a uniform light green blouse and a blue skirt of a merchant girl. Seeing Shang Nianlan coming, he also smiled in surprise, and happily walked over and saluted and shouted:
"Chun Tao has seen the eldest lady."
Then he smiled and saluted the cuckoo:
"I've seen Aunt Juan!"
Du Juan didn't dare to accept the full courtesy, although he was promoted by his wife, and now he is the housekeeper of the Shang Mansion, but that is only the housekeeper of the lady's part, and the affairs of the old lady have not been handed over.
And he is also a subordinate, how can he be the gift of the old lady's favored girl Chun Tao. Therefore, he hurriedly let go of the young lady, turned sideways and received a half-salute, and immediately returned the salute and said:
"Spring Peach girl, look at it, the old lady will raise people. Look at the spring peach girl, but she is getting more and more smart. ”
Lily and Pothos also know the rules, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Chun Tao and shouted:
"Sister Chun Tao."
Chun Tao smiled and turned sideways, and also replied:
"Aunt Juan also teased me, look at the lilies and them, that's called Shui Ling. I'm old. ”
said this self-deprecating sentence, but the trace of embarrassment and resentment that flashed in Chun Tao's eyes did not escape the eyes of the cuckoo.
This spring peach is very outstanding, delicate but not charming. Many people in the house said that Chun Tao looked like a young lady, but she gave birth to the wrong life!
It is said that when the old lady took a fancy to her, she wanted to leave her to the master. Because the lady has always given birth to daughters and not sons. But Mrs. Ren has never had an empty stomach. Therefore, it is not easy for the old lady to accuse the lady of nothing.
But seeing that she had given birth to five granddaughters, the old lady bought this spring peach back and cultivated it well, thinking about planting it on a different plot of land to see if she could give birth to a son. also passed on the secrets of his housekeeper to Chun Tao. also deliberately made the plan rub the spring peach and the master. But the old man was stunned and didn't move a finger of Chun Tao.
This made Chun Tao very sad! It also made the old lady a little angry, and put pressure on the lady, thinking that if the lady agreed, the master would agree.
But the lady refused to say this, and in a fit of anger, she fell down, so Miss Six gave birth prematurely.
But because of the panic of Miss Six's birth, he forced the old man to be anxious and said:
"Even if it's a daughter, I won't accept it!"
The old lady was so angry that she didn't care about the sixth lady who was born prematurely at that time and the young ladies in the house. Not to mention Shu Yunniang, who is in confinement. The old lady closed her yard and didn't care about the affairs of the house at all. The lord is both the outer court and the inner court. At that time, I was tired of the master. But the lord still didn't budge.
In this way, the old lady made up her mind to come to the Bodhisattva! There is no other way for her to have grandchildren. All you have to do is ask God to bless you!
Originally, when she came to the nunnery, she still left Chun Tao in the house, saying that she was helping her wife take care of the house. Because Chun Tao was taught by her, she is indeed an expert in housekeeping. But who can't see what anyone with a discerning eye can see?
Shang Dongliang and Shu Yunniang were still trying to figure out how to refuse, and Chun Tao knelt down and begged the old lady to take him away. I don't want to stay in the house, I just want to follow the old lady to take care of the old lady.
In this regard, Du Juan, who is also a girl, admires and understands Chun Tao very much. Chun Tao knew that the master had no thoughts about her, so she would not fall into wishful thinking. How nice it is to follow the old lady. The old lady has no daughters, and she really hurts a few big girls like daughters.
Chun Tao stepped forward and took Nianlan's arm and said:
"Let's go, the old lady got up and had breakfast, and now she is chanting. I have to recite it three times in the morning and three times in the evening, and I am afraid that it will be finished with a candle of incense. The eldest lady is going to sit down first, right? ”
Nianlan knew some things back then, and at first, she didn't like Chun Tao, but later, after hearing Aunt Juan say something, she also had some changes to this Spring Peach.
Chun Tao helped Nianlan into the house, and there were still a few girls in the house who were busy. was packing up his things, and when he saw the eldest lady coming in, he also stepped forward lightly and saluted.
Nianlan knew that they were afraid of arguing with their grandmother to recite the scriptures. He just nodded and smiled slightly.
I didn't see my grandmother in this house, Chun Tao gestured gently, Nianlan turned her head to look at the window at the end of the side room, and set up a shelf, and there was a white jade Guanyin Bodhisattva on the shelf. My grandmother was kneeling in front of the desk, looking at the scriptures, with a rosary in her hand, chanting the scriptures.
Nianlan sat down, and Chun Tao immediately went to make a cup of tea for Nianlan.
Nianlan looked the house up and down, and the big girls who cleaned up the things were the grandmother's favorite big girls, and Chun Tao was the largest, saying that she was eighteen years old. Down are fifteen-year-old Qiuyue and Xia Zhu, and the youngest fourteen-year-old Dongmei. There are also two little girls running errands. I was dizzy by a few big girls.
Nian Lan was looking. I heard a soft cough from the side room. Grandmother was shouting:
"Spring Peach!"
Spring peach immediately passed. Nian Lan also got up. Seeing that Chun Tao helped her grandmother up, she may have been telling her grandmother that she was coming to pick up her grandmother, and her grandmother nodded slightly.
Chun Tao helped Mrs. Shang out. The old lady has two years left and is also a person of the age of sixtieth year. I have been worried about the fact that I have no grandchildren at home, and I eat fasting and chant Buddha, so that my hair is gray.
But it seems that a few girls are well taken care of. It looks like my grandmother's complexion is still good.
Nian Lan stepped forward with a smile and gave a salute to her grandmother who walked out of the side room:
"Nianlan said hello to her grandmother. Is grandmother okay this time? ”
"You're here? Why didn't your dad come? ”
Mrs. Shang smiled at Nianlan, although she complained that her daughter-in-law only gave birth to daughters, but the first two granddaughters were still spoiled. Just because he didn't have a daughter. I always thought that my daughter-in-law would always give birth to a son. So the first two granddaughters were brought with them for a while.
Older people, for the children they have brought with them, will always be more tolerant! Naturally, it will give some good faces.
Nian Lan Dao:
"My father was invited by Lord Hu yesterday and went to Lord Hu's house early this morning. So I called my granddaughter to pick up my grandmother. How? Grandmother dislikes her granddaughter? Can the granddaughter not be followed? I think about my grandmother every day! ”
"Look at this thick-skinned man!"
The old lady laughed, pointed to Nianlan and said to the people around her.
