Chapter 150 The Grange
Hongmei's identity is different now, and she is already Chen's mother's goddaughter who has not crossed the road.
This matter is related to Chen's mother's eldest son, and letting Hongmei investigate the cause and effect of the matter is a bit inappropriate anyway, and if it is not done well, it will also affect the relationship between their godmother and daughter, and it is not a superior candidate.
So, Fu Duoduo stopped Hongmei and said, "You don't have to go. ”
Hongmei was stunned and looked at Fu Duoduo in confusion.
Fu Duoduo explained: "According to your current identity, if someone knows about it, Mother Chen will inevitably dislike you, and it is better to prevent it in the future." ”
Hongmei is a smart person, and soon turned the corner, stopped, and asked Fu Duoduo, "That...... Who goes? While speaking, her eyes wandered between Chun Fu, who was about to move, and Bi Tao, who was full of calmness, and after looking back and forth several times, she finally stopped at Bi Tao, and asked Fu Duoduo with her eyes.
Fu Duoduo bowed his head slightly, and when he just wanted to speak, he was preempted by Chunfu and said: "Slave and maid go to slave and maid, let slave and maid go, aunt and grandmother." A pair of big eyes blinked at Fu Duoduo, and his expression was full of pleading.
Chunfu also wants to be recognized by Fu Duoduo, instead of hiding behind all the time and watching others dance with long sleeves.
Fu Duoduo hesitated.
She knows Chunfu's personality, she is very arrogant, and there are not too many twists and turns, if she is asked to find out the news, it will inevitably be self-defeating. However, if she refuses to do so, she will surely have a pimple in her heart. Besides, not letting her do something independently is not a long-term solution.
After thinking about it and weighing it left and right, Fu Duoduo said: "You follow Nianjiu, and by the way, you will get acquainted with the surrounding Zhuangzi." ”
Chunfu pouted unwillingly, and Fu Duoduo didn't give her this task to do in the end.
Seeing Chunfu's careful thoughts, Fu Duoduo said: "Go ahead, I will test you later, and see how familiar you are with the surroundings of Zhuangzi." ”
Hearing this, Chunfu came to the spirit and promised: "Please rest assured that the slave will do a good job." As he spoke, he affectionately pulled Bi Tao to retreat, completely missing the previous feelings because Fu Duoduo was more intimate to Bi Tao.
Looking at the back of Chunfu happily leaving, Fu Duoduo shook his head helplessly and said: "This Chunfu is a child who has not grown up after all." ”
Hongmei comforted and said: "She is already a lot better than before, and she will slowly become stable." ”
Fu Duoduo nodded, diverted the topic, and said, "You help me set up the pen and paper, sharpen some ink, and I want to write a letter to the young master." ”
After all, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and there is no paper that can wrap the fire, and she sent someone to privately inquire about Zhuangtian, and Chen's mother will know sooner or later. After she learned about it, she would definitely be unhappy in her heart, so it was better to write the letter to Yu Shiyi long before she knew it, and let her know that she was the first to report to Yu Shiyi. In this way, even if she knew, she would diverge the time, and the relationship between them would not have any impact, but she would be grateful to her.
Hongmei is not stupid, she knows the urgency of the matter, and she is busy doing it.
After a while, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were in place, but there was a lack of people with pens.
Under the service of Hongmei, Fu Duoduo sat in front of the bookcase in his cloak and twisted his eyebrows thinking about how to write.
Before, she had learned to read and write with Yu Shiyi for a few days, but if the writing was smooth, and it was such an important thing, she was a little unconfident, not to mention that Hongmei was still watching, she was more or less stressed, lest she could write badly and make jokes.
Hongmei saw that Fu Duoduo was embarrassed, so she said, "Auntie, the slave will help you make a cup of tea and concentrate." After saying that, he bent his knees and retreated.
At this time, Fu Duoduo was the only one in the room, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After pondering for a while, Fu Duoduo began to put pen to paper, writing down everything she knew. No, at the last moment, I asked a few more words about Yu Shiyi's current situation and the development of things in the house.
After writing, Fu Duoduo picked it up and gently blew the ink that had not dried.
After checking that it was correct, and thinking that Yu Shiyi should be able to understand his dog's crawling words, Fu Duoduo put the letter in an envelope and sealed it with paste.
After everything was done, Hongmei came with the tea that had been brewing for a long time.
Fu Duoduo handed the envelope to Hongmei, and instructed: "Give this letter to Chen's mother, and entrust her to send it to Yu Mansion immediately and hand it over to Yu Shiyi." Also, if Chen's mother asks what this letter is about, you will answer truthfully. ”
Hongmei took the letter and left.
Chen's mother was in the account room at this time, anxiously calculating the accounts, thinking that if the matter of Zhuangtian was delayed, there was no way to solve it, so she could only remove some silver from other places, hire someone to implement the spring sowing matter first, and help the eldest son get through this difficulty first.
Hearing that Hongmei was coming to her, Chen's mother hurriedly put down her abacus, walked out of the tent, and enthusiastically pulled Hongmei to the small hall next to the tent, and entertained her with tea and snacks.
Hongmei was also unceremonious, took a sip of tea, and praised and said: "Godmother, this tea is really delicious, not only the soup is bright, but the taste is also extraordinarily sweet." ”
Chen's mother smiled and said, "Look at what you said, you are with your aunt and grandmother, haven't you ever drunk good tea?" ”
Hongmei responded solemnly: "I have drunk it, but this is the tea of my mother's family, and my daughter thinks that there is nothing better than this." ”
Hearing this, Chen's mother smiled with a smile on her face and said angrily: "It's sweet for you." ”
Hongmei took the opportunity to say: "My daughter is my mother's little padded jacket, and my little padded jacket should make you happy every day." ”
"Okay, good, I didn't recognize you as a goddaughter in vain, with you by my side, all your troubles are gone." Chen's mother smiled and said.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Hongmei took out the envelope from her arms, handed it to Chen's mother and said, "My daughter has something to trouble you." ”
Mother Chen took it in confusion, and saw that the envelope was written with the words "Young Master personally opened", and she already knew it in her heart, but she still pretended not to know, and asked Hongmei: "This is ......"
Hongmei explained: "This is what my aunt ordered, let me ask someone to send it to Yufu as soon as possible and hand it over to the eldest young master." As he spoke, he smiled heartily at Chen's mother, and continued: "In this Zhuangzi, I am only familiar with you, so I can only salivate and beg you." ”
"Oh, I see." Mother Chen pretended to come to her senses and said, "It's okay, since it's my aunt's business, my godmother will help you handle it properly, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Hongmei asked.
Chen's mother said: "It's just that it doesn't matter what is written in this letter, I can tell the people below how to do it." After saying a little inquiry, I was afraid that Hongmei would misunderstand her kindness, thinking that she intended to inquire about her aunt's affairs, so she hurriedly explained and continued: "I am also better at doing what my aunt and grandmother told you to do, so it's better to ask clearly." Of course, if it's inconvenient to talk to the godmother, the godmother doesn't mind......"
Before she finished speaking, Hongmei interrupted and interjected: "You are my godmother, what's so convenient or inconvenient?" Moreover, this letter is for the business of the Grange, and it is not easy to hide it in front of you. ”
"The Grange? Is this letter written about the Grange these days? Chen's mother asked.
Hongmei nodded seriously and said, "Well, yes." After you left, my aunt and grandmother asked me to wait on the ink, and I can't be wrong. ”
Mother Chen smiled and said, "Grandma is really hearted, she wrote the letter so quickly, you sit here for the time being, and I will let people send the letter to Yufu immediately." ”
"Godmother, you wait first." Seeing that Mother Chen was in a hurry, Hongmei immediately stopped her and said, "Nowadays, there are many people in Yufu, even if the letter is sent to Yufu, it may not be able to be handed over to the young master soon." My aunt and grandmother instructed that the person who delivered the letter should be handed over to Wen Zhu in the outer courtyard, he was the young master's personal servant, which was more secure. ”
Chen's mother has heard that the people in the Yu Mansion want to marry their maiden daughter to Yu Shiyi.
If he really sent the letter in such a reckless manner, maybe it was reprinted to someone, and if someone had the evil intention to open it privately, know about the affairs of the Grange, and then add fuel and vinegar to it, then his son's future would be ruined.
Thinking of this, Chen's mother hurriedly said: "Fortunately, my aunt and grandmother are thoughtful, otherwise if I continue to tell me like this, it will be a bad thing." ”
Hongmei took this opportunity to say: "My aunt is kind and sympathetic, and she always thinks about things comprehensively." ”
Chen's mother nodded, and after flattering Fu Duoduo with a few good words, she hurriedly left the hall and found someone to deliver the letter.
The messenger was a young man about fifteen years old a year, named Gou Yu, who was clever and clever.
Mother Chen told and told this little guy to get things done, and took out a piece of silver from his bosom and said, "This is your hard work, but you have to hand over the letter to Wen Zhu in the outer courtyard, and he will follow and serve by Young Master Yu's side." You kid pay attention, stammer, it's good for you, you know? ”
Gou Yu nodded again and again, and said solemnly: "The little one will personally hand over the letter to Brother Wenzhu." ”
Seeing that Gou Yu said this, Chen's mother laughed and said, "You are really not ashamed, you didn't even see each other, but you called your eldest brother hotly." ”
The dog hung his head embarrassedly, scratched his scalp, and giggled hehehehe.
It was not early, and Chen's mother didn't have anything to do with the dog, so she asked him to go early and return early.
After Gou Yu left, she did not go back to the hall immediately, but summoned the little maid next to her to go to the wing where Fu Duoduo lived to inquire about things.
It wasn't until after the time of the two pillars of incense that the little maid who inquired about the news came back, and Chen's mother went back to the hall with a smile on her face, and treated Hongmei more affectionately than before, which was really comparable to her own daughter.
Hongmei noticed the changes in Chen's mother, and after thinking about it carefully, she understood why she was like this, and she admired Fu Duoduo's foresight very much in her heart.
