Chapter 82: Contention
Dian Cui couldn't see clearly because he was standing behind, so he had to put his feet on his feet and open his eyes wide to see.
"Little girl, don't take care of those dazzling jewelry, the master's wine glass has been empty for a long time." Wu Yi'an looked at the little maid who was facing the two trays with her eyes shining with interest.
Diancui's face turned red, and he was reluctant to look at the white hosta that seemed to have special magic powers, so he had to secretly stare at him with hatred, and stepped forward to pour him wine.
Wu Yi'an looked at the reluctant little maid, suddenly felt very interesting, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
Diancui reluctantly said Diancui, Wu Yi'an was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh again, saying No wonder you like those jewelry, it turns out that you are also a piece of jewelry.
"Cousin An, you don't bully us Diancui, she is very popular, be careful that the few little maids present don't follow you." The second young master Gui Zhongqing said lazily.
"Oh, really, disrespectful." Wu Yi'an pretended to be frightened.
Yu Rouhan, Ruohe, Dongxue, and several maids looked at each other and smiled, gently covering their mouths, and their faces were even redder.
These fell in the eyes of Gui Chuyu, who had been paying attention to Wu Yi'an, including the little action of Dong Xue, and he couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in his hand again.
These eat inside and out!
Dian Cui was teased by the second young master and the young master, so it was no longer good to stare at those delicate heads, so he had to pick up the wine glasses and fill them one by one for the young masters and sons.
When she arrived at Yuan Zhiheng's side, she saw that he seemed to be a little drunk one cup after another, and she couldn't help but have a little temper, which reminded her of the two cages of kingfishers in her own house. Yuan Zhiheng waited for a long time, and looked up to see that his little apprentice was looking at his wine glass with a blue face, so he had to smile bitterly, silently put the wine glass, and changed it to eating tea.
Come to offer gifts one by one, the old Diao Tou offered a rare purple lotus, the old man has always liked to fiddle with flowers and plants, on the spot he was rewarded with a small silver ingot, and promised that this year's flower room expenses can be increased by three percent, the old Diao head was expressionless, the second young master personally threw into his arms a jar of Huadiao wine that was drinking, this time he smiled and went away satisfied.
When he was gone, everyone couldn't help but laugh at him.
The last gift is the embroidery room, the mother-in-law of the embroidery room is a distant relative of the old lady, and she is an old man with a lot of status in the house. It's just that this woman is stubborn and lazy, which makes the whole embroidery room smoky, and the embroidery of clothes over the years is still the same as a few years ago. Wu looked at the old lady's face, and endured not to get rid of this mother-in-law, and the clothes were really unsightly, so they made them from the shop outside.
This time it is a piece of gold thread embroidered birthday star to offer peach sweat towel handkerchief, workmanship is acceptable, but if this is the old lady's birthday, embroider the old birthday star, Wu is only thirty-three years old this year, and he also embroidered the birthday star, it is really extremely perfunctory.
Wu Shina glanced at the sweat towel, his face was cold on the spot, and he said sarcastically: "The embroidery of Shou Tao'er on this is more careful than last year's, and it is almost the same as the one the year before last." ”
The mother-in-law blushed on the spot, and the old lady hurriedly hit this haha, how can it be regarded as her own relatives, recently they have to rush to make new summer clothes in the embroidery room, and it is understandable that they have delayed.
Wu Shi couldn't help but want to snort coldly when he heard this, the summer clothes they made? The spring clothes they made have not yet seen a shadow, and when the old man saw that she was angry, he immediately clenched her hand and scolded the woman: "If you don't raise idlers in the house, if you dare to be lazy, roll up the bed and leave, you can't do this errand, some people can do it." ”
These words came out of the mouth of the always gentle old man, which could not be described as harsh, and the mother-in-law did not dare to breathe in a horrible atmosphere, even the old lady was embarrassed, she didn't expect her son to be so faceless in everyone, even if he lowered his face.
With her husband's maintenance, Wu's heart suddenly became comfortable, and he glanced at his husband who was holding his hand tightly, knowing that if he had to send off the mother-in-law at this time, it would inevitably make it difficult for him to do it in front of the old lady, especially when he saw the Yue family's face beside the old lady that was crazy and distorted due to jealousy, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.
"That's it, today is my own birthday, and I don't want to find bad luck for myself, get out." Wu waved his hand impatiently.
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, and before leaving, she didn't forget to lick her face and ask, "What about this year's reward?" ”
Before Wu Shi could change his face, the second young master roared angrily: "Get out!" ”
The old woman knew the temper of the second young master, and if he was angry, he would be punched and kicked, and he immediately ran away.
"Qing'er! How can it be so vulgar. The old lady said angrily.
"Grandmother, don't be angry, that person is really lazy and greedy, he gets a lot of wages every month, and he can only grind foreign workers. The second young master knew best where the old lady's weakness was, and a sentence made her forget to be angry.
"This ......" the old lady felt the same thing in her heart, but she just couldn't get used to seeing her son defend the Wu family like this.
"Shut up, dignified seven-foot man, think about some things in the inner courtyard, it's useless!" Master Gui has always had an opinion about this son.
"I think Qing'er is a good one."
"Isn't what Qing'er said wrong?"
The old lady and the Wu family said in unison, as long as their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in the matter of returning to Zhongqing, their attitudes will be rare and consistent.
"If you don't learn and don't know how to do it every day, it's worth maintaining it for both of you." Master Gui said with a smile and disdain.
"Qing'er, why don't you learn and don't know how to do it, my wife has always been accurate in seeing people, he is the most intelligent and capable one among several brothers, and you can't see it clearly when you are a father." The old lady complained.
"Mother-in-law is right, Qing'er is not only capable but also filial." Wu Shi hurriedly helped.
"Okay, you're right." Master Gui smiled.
Wu Yi'an and the others also teased Gui Zhongqing: "Baby pimple is really baby pimple." ”
Gui Zhongqing was not annoyed, but only cheekily flattered: "Grandmother has always loved me the most, and naturally my grandmother is the one I respect the most." ”
The old lady was amused by him now, and Wu also smiled at the little son who smeared honey in his mouth.
The unhappiness caused by the old woman dissipated.
Dian Cui looked at the back, and felt that he had learned another trick, and it was really a coquettish child who could eat candy.
Gui Chuyu was very disdainful, and her heart was even more resentful, allowing her to try to please the old lady on weekdays, but the old lady's favorite was Gui Zhongqing!
"Grandmother, mother," Gui Chuyu suddenly rolled his eyes, and said in the laughter of everyone: "Since the embroidery room is full of mediocre talents, let's find a clever and diligent past, I have a good candidate here, and I hope that my mother will allow it." ”
"I don't know who Yu'er is referring to?" Wu asked with a smile.
"That's her!" Gui Chuyu suddenly pointed his finger at Diancui.
"This maid, but she is now a ...... under Aunt Xing" Wu frowned slightly, and Grandma Lu on the side also looked at Diancui with some concern, but this little maid was calm, and she didn't hear the rude or resistance of the eldest lady who asked her to go to such a smoky embroidery room, Grandma Lu couldn't help but praise her a little more in her heart.
Wu asked Xiang Diancui: "Do you know how to embroider?" ”
Dian Cui came out from behind, bowed to Wu's family, and said honestly: "The slave maid was born in the countryside, and the small work is rough work, and I have never learned embroidery. ”
Wu stepped forward to take her hand, put it on his own hand and looked at it, sighed and said: "It's a child from a bitter background, although your hand is slender and slender, but there are too many calluses, too rough, and not suitable for embroidery." ”
Dian Cui was held in Wu's hand because of her hand, and she only felt that she was gently wrapped in a layer of warm warmth, which was distant and extremely longing for her. Diancui's hands couldn't help but tremble a little, and Diancui tried to suppress her desire to say something, because she knew that this was not the right time to be ready for anything.
Gui Chuyu looked at the scene of Wu Shi holding Diancui's hand, which was particularly dazzling, and suddenly couldn't help but step forward and pull Diancui's hand out and throw it away.
Wu Shi looked at her puffing out, and couldn't help laughing, what happened to this child today.
"You can't embroider, you can hand over a needle and thread, smoke a garment, there's always a use for her, isn't it?" Gui Chuyu stepped forward and shook Wu's arm and said: "Mother, speaking of which, she is my maid, now that she knows how to cook, wouldn't it be better to learn the work of the embroidery room, I have the intention to promote her in this way." ”
"Well, Yu'er is right, since it's your maid, you have the final say." Wu Shi can not be so coquettish and begging for his daughter.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were the same, Grandma Yue had a good look on her face, Mrs. Gui and Master Gui only felt that she was just a maid in their hearts, and it didn't matter where they were arranged, the eldest young master was even more indifferent, looking coldly at this little maid who was in the limelight, and felt that this maid was really not simple, so you have to guard against it! Dian Cui himself lowered his head and was silent and couldn't see his expression clearly, Yuan Zhiheng glanced at her slightly sideways worriedly, his eyes were still indifferent, but the hand holding the tea cup became tighter and tighter.
"I disagree!" The second young master frowned and said: "I don't care who she is, she works in the West Courtyard right now, so she is under my control, and the pickles she makes are extremely dessert, young master, I haven't eaten enough!" Yurou, the maid on the side, was relieved when she heard that the young master finally spoke.
"This ......" Wu Shi was a little in a dilemma, watching the two children fight for a maid.
"This maid was obviously bought by me, so it naturally belongs to me, why should the second brother rob me." Gui Chuyu yelled at the second brother angrily, causing the old lady to frown.
"You bought it, but you earned it yourself? It's obviously the silver in the gongzhong, so this maid can only be from the house, not yours alone. "If you want to talk about confrontation with people, he has never lost to Zhongqing.
"You! Big brother, look at the second brother bullying me! Gui Chuyu stomped his feet and looked for Gui Bonian to be a backer.
"Second brother, don't mess around, fight with your sister for a rough maid." Gui Bonian said impatiently.
Before Gui Zhongqing jumped up to fight back, he only heard a chuckle, but it was Wu Yi'an.
"Since your brothers and sisters can't argue, why don't my aunt send this maid to me and take it away, so that your brothers and sisters don't hurt their peace, what do you say?" Wu Yi'an smiled, his face was like a spring dawn, extremely moving.
"No way!" Someone said in unison.
The people who said it were Gui Chuyu, who was obviously short of breath with a crimson face, and the other was Gui Zhongqing, who was red-faced and didn't want to lose, and the last one was Yuan Zhiheng, who had been silent with a blue face.
