Chapter Eighty-Four: A Strange Vision
"The pre-rain tea I stir-fried with a secret recipe does taste better than others." Zhong Lingyu said, "Uncle and grandmother like it, I'll send someone to send some when I get home." ”
"Enough is enough, you gave away five catties. Even if we give some away, it will be enough for us to drink for a year. Mrs. Sun said, "Besides, this tea before the Ming Dynasty and the tea before the rain are very expensive, so you can keep them and sell them for money." ”
Even if she doesn't know much about tea, she knows that the price of tea in front of the Ming Dynasty is comparable to gold. When Mama Wu came back a while ago, she came back with two or three catties of Mingqian tea. Now this tea tastes even better than Ming Qian tea, and the price is naturally better. gave five catties, and the Sun family had already received a gift from Zhong Lingyu. Zhong Lingyu's mother and son are orphans and widows, they don't talk about taking care of one or two, but also taking advantage of others, she can't do such a thing.
Before Zhong Lingyu could speak, Sun Xuemiao next to him interjected: "Cousin Yu, you just said that you fried it with a secret recipe?" ”
"Yes." Zhong Lingyu nodded, and intuitively felt that there was something in Sun Xuemiao's words, and he secretly felt a hint of vigilance.
"Then this tea is the only one, and others can't fry it?" Sun Xuemiao said.
Zhong Lingyu smiled: "Sort of." However, after the fried and processed, some merchants came to my tea house to buy it. Cousin Miao wouldn't be surprised if she had drunk this tea outside. ”
"......" Sun Xuemiao's words about to exit were blocked, and his face was depressed.
After a long time, she said sullenly to her mother Bai: "Mother, do you remember, Governor Qian's wife gave you some tea half a decade ago, and it tastes exactly like this." ”
"You kid ......" Bai glanced at his daughter with disgust, smiled awkwardly at Zhong Lingyu, and explained, "A while ago, the governor's wife came to play and gave me a bag of tea, saying that it was a new tea from Bacheng, which was very sought-after and better than other teas. After your eldest cousin left the office, I made this tea for him to drink, and he praised it for a while. I didn't think it was your tea. ”
Since Bai Shi said it, Zhong Lingyu could explain. She smiled and said, "My eldest cousin and aunt also know that my father went suddenly, and things were in chaos at home; My second uncle coveted my family's tea garden and stumbled me everywhere. My mother is a careless person, and my younger brother is still young, so he can't help much. Everything inside and out, I have to do it all by myself. Some time ago, I made tea before the rain, followed by tea before the rain, but I was also sick in the chaos, dragging the sick body up the mountain to supervise the production of this tea to fry it out, I was tired and lay down, and went home and rested for a while before relieving myself. ”
She pointed to the tea bowl on the table: "At that time, I didn't care about the processing and sale of tea before the rain, so I still handed it over to the shopkeeper Zhang Luo." So the tea was sold, but I didn't care about sending the tea from my relatives. By the time I got better and dealt with this matter, I was already out of filial piety. I thought that I was going to greet my grandfather and grandmother and my cousin and aunt, so I didn't send someone to deliver them, but sent them myself. In this way, it was delayed for a while. ”
When Mama Wu came back, she had already told the Zhong family's big room and the second room, as well as the affairs of Mrs. Zhong's Liu family, and the situation in Zhong Lingyu's family, Mrs. Sun and the Bai family all knew about it. Zhong Lingyu explained just now, and Old Madam Sun felt even more pity for her. And Mrs. Sun is the official of the sixth grade of this general judgment, and in the Fuling Mansion, the position is only lower than that of the prefect and the same knowledge, and there is no shortage of this sip of tea. The meaning of Sun Xuemiao's words was to blame Zhong Lingyu for not sending someone to bring the tea over early and neglecting the Sun family.
Old Madam Sun couldn't help but feel a little displeased in her heart, glanced at Bai Clan reproachfully, and said to Zhong Lingyu: "Your cousin Miao is not sensible, and she doesn't care about what she says, don't think about it." We all know the situation of your family, and Mama Wu has said it when she came back. It's really hard for you, at a young age, still a girl, you have to support a family, and there is such a second uncle......"
Speaking of this, she said apologetically: "Originally, as soon as Mama Wu came back, I wanted to send someone." Why is it that your second cousin was going to be reassigned some time ago, and the family was very busy, so it was delayed. Now that I'm doing well, I'm relieved. ”
She looked at Zhong Lingyu with concern: "What kind of disease did you have some time ago?" Are you alright? At a young age, you have to recuperate, don't lose your body. Don't wait until you're old like me to know that you regret it. ”
"It's okay~ Uncle and grandmother, it's just that there is a rash." Zhong Lingyu said with a smile.
She is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and the matter of being divorced should not be said by her, and she must have an old mother or grandmother, which is the right reason.
And this is the reason why Zhong Lingyu brought Ding's mother here.
It's just that Ding's mother stayed by Zhuang's side, and she didn't know if she was not a particularly awake person, or she was infected by Zhuang's, so she stood there blankly at this time, and she didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Chunli was standing beside her, and he hurriedly tugged at Ding's mother's clothes below, and glanced at her again, and Ding's mother reacted.
She hurriedly took a step forward and said, "My young lady can't eat sea fish, but the second lady Chen asked the eldest lady of the Liu family to bring the fish, saying that it was river fish; The second lady in the second room used words to provoke my young lady again, and my young lady had no choice but to eat a few bites, and as a result, her face was covered with a rash. Then there were rumors in the house that my young lady was disfigured. When the Ye family heard this, they directly sent someone to withdraw from their relatives. ”
Speaking of the back, she choked up and kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
Hearing this, Old Madam Sun was stunned and looked at Zhong Lingyu: "You have been dismissed?" ”
Zhong Lingyu nodded and lowered her head.
Bai sighed: "Poor child. "I also took a handkerchief to wipe my eyes.
Ke Shi originally sat on the sidelines, frowning and looking at his handkerchief, stunned and unthinking, his mind was not in the hall at all. At this time, when he heard that Zhong Lingyu was withdrawn, he raised his head suddenly, looked over, and looked at Zhong Lingyu with straight eyes. Sun Xuemiao's eyes flashed slightly, looking at Zhong Lingyu, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Speaking of his own family affairs, even if Zhong Lingyu didn't care about it in his heart, it was not easy to show it in front of people, he lowered his head and kept silent, he didn't see the strange expressions on the faces of Ke Shi and Sun Xuemiao, but stood behind Zhong Lingyu Chunli and Xiaoyu saw it in their eyes.
The two glanced at each other, and they both wondered in their hearts why Ke Shi and Sun Xuemiao were hostile to their own young lady.
"That Ye family retreated, I really don't know what to do, his family is not blessed, don't be sad. A good girl like you, are you still afraid that you won't be able to find your in-laws? From tomorrow onwards, I will call the shots, and I will tell you that you are a good friend. Old Madam Sun comforted.
