Chapter 54: Sandalwood
That day, Mrs. Wen San talked to Ah Yu, and after sending Ah Yu to another hospital temporarily, after thinking about it carefully, she was still angry.
Mama Liu has been persuading her to be relieved, but to no avail.
After Master Wen San came back, Mrs. Wen San chatted with him for a long time, and the next day, she still couldn't hold back and went directly to Duan Mansion.
In the past, most of the people who came to Mrs. Duan came to the Wen Mansion to find Mrs. Wen, and sometimes the situation would be reversed, but each time they would send someone to notify each other a day or two in advance, so that it was convenient for both the other party and themselves.
Only this time, Mrs. Wen San can be regarded as truly uninvited.
The subordinates who were responsible for guarding the door didn't dare to stop people for too long, so Mrs. Wen sent someone to knock on the door, and they immediately divided people to the outer courtyard to report the news, but today Master Duan went to the court and has not come back. The person who reported the news to the outer courtyard ran away in vain, and then went to the inner courtyard, and when the grandmother beside Mrs. Duan called her out of the quiet room, it had been a long time.
Third Lady Wen outside the mansion had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
Mrs. Duan got the news in a hurry, and while she asked the housekeeper beside her to go outside to bring Mrs. Wen in, she changed into a set of clothes for the guests under the service of the maid, but in a hurry, some details could not be taken care of as usual.
At least half of the 12 hours a day she spends at least half of her time in the ashram of the small courtyard, where the Bodhisattva is enshrined, and the incense used for the offering is also day and night.
So much so that Mrs. Duan also had an endless sandalwood fragrance on her body.
When Mrs. Wen San met Mrs. Duan, she smelled the scent of sandalwood, a fragrance that should not have appeared next to Mrs. Duan.
In Mrs. Wen's memory, even if Mrs. Duan was married, she still didn't believe in the gods and Buddhas.
Every time she asked Mrs. Duan to go to the temple to worship the Buddha, Mrs. Duan's attitude was always extraordinary, and she kept saying that 'the gods and Buddhas are outsiders and cannot save people in the world'.
The only thing that could make Mrs. Duan believe in gods and Buddhas was her daughter, who died young, and every time the child's death day, she would go to the temple to worship the Buddha for the child and recite the Sutra of the Death for a day. But on any other day other than that day, Mrs. Wen had never heard her talk about gods and Buddhas.
"Are you ......" Third Mrs. Wen saw that Mrs. Duan didn't have time to dress up, a few strands of white hair exposed on her sideburns, and that white and aged face, she originally wanted to accuse, but suddenly couldn't say it.
She sighed and said, "In the past, I saw that you also lived a worry-free life, why did I see you today, I actually think that you are much older, but there are too many troubles in recent days, so you are tired like this?" ”
In fact, Mrs. Wen also knows that a situation like Mrs. Duan's has accumulated over time, and it can't happen overnight.
It's just that after dressing up in the past, all the abnormalities have been covered up.
And Mrs. Wen San and Mrs. Duan get along for a short time every time, and there is no condition for day and night, if they want to cover up some things, how can the people next to them see clearly.
Mrs. Duan showed a wry smile, lowered her head again, her sleeves gently brushed the corners of her eyes, and when she looked at Mrs. Wen again, she became the Mrs. Duan who smiled lightly in the past.
She said softly: "Xu didn't sleep well last night, and today he looks a little haggard." ”
Obviously, Mrs. Duan didn't want to continue this topic, but she saw her fingertips brushing the folds of her sleeves, stopping on the wrist of her left hand, plucking the small leaf red sandalwood Buddha beads, and said slowly: "I don't have anything to say, but you, who are not good at raising a baby at home, why did you suddenly come to me?" ”
She knew that Mrs. Wen was pregnant, and she also knew that her fetal image was unstable a few days ago, and she gave Mrs. Wen a lot of medicinal materials for raising the fetus.
Third Lady Wen glanced at the maids guarding beside her and said, "You let them out first, I have something to say to you." ”
When Mama Liu and the others from the Wen Mansion heard the hostess's words, they went down by themselves with a very good look, but the people around Mrs. Duan were grinding and didn't move for a long time.
In the end, Mrs. Duan personally let them out.
I don't know if it's Mrs. Wen's illusion, she seems to see the last grandmother to leave glaring at her, thinking about it carefully, it should be a mistake.
Who made that grandma herself a triangular eye, and she was born with a snarky look.
Third Lady Wen's gaze returned to Mrs. Duan from the closed door, only to hear her say in surprise: "I remember Qingying, you have always believed in each other, why don't the people waiting around you now have a good look?" ”
The people around her are not good looks that can be described, one by one, either they are five big and three coarse, or they are scathing, just looking at it is uncomfortable.
"Usually you take it out of the house, or I come to your house to see it. But aren't they like that? ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wen suddenly had a pimple in her heart, and when she looked at Mrs. Duan again, there was a cautious look in her eyes, she slowly pulled in the distance between herself and Mrs. Duan, and then said in a very low voice: "Is it Duan Zhiming who bullied you?" But if you need my help, as long as you say it, I will be duty-bound! ”
Mrs. Duan looked at her fixedly for a long time, and then shook her head.
She chuckled: "Weilan, you! It's still so childlike, today's things are simple, it's as complicated as you think! ”
According to Mrs. Duan's explanation, the ones waiting by her side on weekdays are sixteen or seventeen-year-old little girls, she thinks that the little girls' families are more fun-loving, and when there is nothing to do around them, she often lets them go out for a walk, and Mrs. Wen San came unfortunate today, just in time for them to go out to play.
It sounds like a somewhat plausible explanation, but also a somewhat unreasonable explanation.
Mrs. Wen originally wanted to continue to ask, but Mrs. Duan said again: "Okay, Weilan, you should tell me what you are here for today?" ”
In front of familiar people, people rarely mention the mind of defense.
was interrupted by Mrs. Duan like this, and Mrs. Wen finally remembered her intention today.
After telling Mrs. Duan about Duan Yuzhi and Ah Yu outside, Mrs. Wen San had a dark face and said, "I originally saw that your love for a daughter had nowhere to be placed, and under your pleading, I let you act as Ah Yu's stepmother, who knew that you actually had Ah Yu's idea again......"
She muttered in a low voice again: "When Duan Zhiming proposed marriage to you in the past, I told you that I don't like the people of the Duan family, and I want to marry him with all my heart, if it weren't for you later saying that the two of us have a personal relationship and have nothing to do with the two families, I would be ready to break off relations with you." You know that I don't like the Duan family, even if Duan Yuzhi is your child, I don't plan to let Ah Yu marry him......"
All in all, she doesn't like the Duan family very much.
Except, of course, Mrs. Duan.
