223 The Ding family's joke
The time is approaching, and the time has not yet arrived, and the excited tiger girl is finally back.
At this time, the Shanhai Pavilion was also dispersed by guests, and when it was close to closing, Hu Niu estimated the time, she did not go to the main entrance of the restaurant, but entered the inner courtyard of the Shanhai Pavilion directly from the side door.
The porridge room of Shanhai Pavilion was greeted by most of the ladies and ladies in the doors of various rich mansions, far earlier than the old men in the front hall who were shouting five and six to disperse, so Jiuhong and Yao Tiantian had already packed up and returned to the inner courtyard.
Jiuhong, who had been busy all day, did not rest, but kept waiting in Yao Tiantian's room, waiting for the news that Hu Niu brought back.
Hu Niu symbolically knocked on the door and couldn't wait to push the door in, seeing that Jiuhong was also there, Hu Niu was not surprised at all, and nodded at her, "Sister Jiuhong is also here, are you waiting to hear the joke, right?" ”
"Jokes?" Yao Tiantian was stunned for a moment, glanced at the puzzled Jiuhong, and asked out loud, "You have been gone for so long, to inquire about jokes?" ”
"But isn't it," Hu Niu picked up the soothing tea on the table and poured it down, and then continued: "That impostor lady was probably frightened by the owner, and ran back to find her master without hiding it at all." ”
"Their mansion is decent, and it looks like a big family. However, there should not be as famous as the Niu family and the Zhao family, and we have never heard of such a family before. Hu You recalled the still elegant house she saw, and commented pertinently.
"Is this family's surname Ding?" Yao Tiantian groaned slightly, and asked thoughtfully.
"Surname Ding?" Jiuhong listened to Yao Tiantian's words, her expression also changed, and she muttered in a low voice, "Could it be that today's play is for Mrs. Ding?" ”
"Eighty percent of the time, let's listen to the jokes of the tiger girl first, and then draw conclusions." Yao Tiantian was noncommittal, and said thoughtfully.
Mrs. Ding came to Shanhai Pavilion to drink porridge very low-key, and Yao Tiantian also deliberately protected the guests. Therefore, Jiuhong knew that her husband's surname was Ding, and she had been greeting Chunxiang, the little girl with Mrs. Ding, and she had guessed a lot.
And Hu Niu is in charge of the kitchen, she prepares whatever Yao Tiantian tells her to prepare, and Jiuhong comes forward to greet guests outside, and she pays less attention to things about guests. Therefore, she is not very clear about Mrs. Ding's surname Ding.
Now, looking at Yao Tiantian and Jiuhong's dumb riddle-like words, the excited tiger girl suddenly pursed her mouth and played a little character, "You sent me a big stupid girl to find out the news, but you hid everything from me, you, you bully people, and don't tell you funny jokes!" ”
Since this matter may be related to Mrs. Ding, who came for treatment, and it is the situation of Hu Niu going out to investigate, she is not an outsider, and it is also appropriate to tell her.
After thinking about it for a while, Yao Tiantian said with a slight apology, "Sister Huniu, in fact, we don't mean to hide it from you." It's just that these are the guests' **, since we want to make the guests feel at ease and satisfied, naturally we can't shout about the situation of others all over the world. ”
"If we are deliberately hiding it from you, how can we let you follow that person? Besides, if we are sincere in hiding it from you, how can we talk about it in front of you? Whether it's me or Sister Jiuhong, it's not such a careless person who can't hide words, right? ”
Yao Tiantian explained softly, and at first Hu Niu was angry and stretched a face, when Yao Tiantian said back, Hu Niu involuntarily nodded, and said embarrassedly, "The owner is right, it was the tiger girl who wanted to go wrong, and Xiang Da Zhuang made a bull temper like a bun, so that the owner and Sister Jiuhong saw the joke." ”
"Sister Tiger Girl, what you said is serious. In fact, we just know that the lady's husband's surname is Ding, and the family has no worries about food and clothing, and we don't know about other situations, so it's just a casual guess. Jiuhong took over the tiger girl's words and said with relief. Since Yao Tiantian didn't hide it from the tiger girl, Jiuhong also said it honestly.
Since the last time Jiuhong stepped forward to test the poison, Mrs. Niu believed the words of the people in Shanhai Pavilion and solved the crisis of Shanhai Pavilion, she not only truly integrated into this big family, but also became much taller in everyone's minds. Especially Hu Niu, she was deeply moved by her belief in Yao Dongjia so firmly and swore to follow her to the death, and Jiuhong's impression in her Hu Niu's heart took a 180-degree turn and became a person she admired.
Now, the owner and Sister Jiuhong have said so, and the tiger girl has nothing to doubt, she blushed for her little nature, and quickly told her experience of this night.
It turned out that Hu Niu followed the so-called lady out of the gate of Shanhai Pavilion, she was worried about the other party's alertness at the beginning, so she relied on herself to learn a few kung fu of the three-legged cat, I am afraid that she will be discovered. Or, if someone gets in a carriage, she can't run on four legs on two legs, and she will be thrown off.
However, soon after going out, Tiger Niu found that her original worries were unnecessary. I don't know what the owner said to others, the other party seems to be frightened, completely lost his square inch, and ran all the way after going out, neither in a car, nor in a sedan chair, and without being guarded against being followed.
Hu Niu easily followed that person all the way, watching her stumble all the way and go straight to the west of the city, where the mansions of rich and noble families are gathered.
The so-called lady did not notice that someone was following her, and she ran straight into a rich and decent-looking house, and the doorkeeper seemed to call her something 'Xia' girl, and she paid no attention to them.
It seems that this 'Xia girl' still has some face, she went straight to the door, and the person who guarded the door didn't mean to stop her at all. It's just that after she went in, she muttered in a low voice, "Hmph, what's the spirit, now you are not the second master's aunt and grandmother, with the identity of the second lady's marriage, you want to be majestic in front of our brothers, I really don't know how many catties and taels I have." Second Lady ......"
The whispered slanderous words of the gatekeeper, Hu Niu only heard the first half clearly, but did not hear the words about the second lady in the back, presumably this person also knew that he was talking about the serious master behind his back, and unconsciously lowered his voice.
It was this half of the vague words that aroused the curiosity of the tiger girl, that person was obviously a married lady's dress, but just now the owner said that this was a 'girl', not that she was a 'lady', and now the gatekeeper called her 'Miss Xia', and said that she was going to be a concubine for the second master, what the hell is going on?
Hu Niu looked up at the plaque of this family's rules: Ding Mansion. With this in mind, he turned around and walked towards the side door of the house, which was specially designed for people to enter and exit.
Tiger Girl's luck is good, she just hid herself in the shadow of the tree not far from the side door, and saw an old mother dressed a little shabby walking out of the side door of Ding's house, the doorkeeper saw her coming, pouted in disgust, and didn't give her one.
The old mother felt the gaze from others, her face was entangled, and she seemed to whisper something before she got out of the door.
The tiger girl had an idea, slid to the side, flashed the shadow of the tree, pretended to pass by inadvertently, and muttered in her mouth, "This little slinger turned his face too fast, and he didn't know what his surname was when he just entered the mansion, and he didn't even know his old friend!" ”
As soon as Hu Niu's words landed, her 'complaint' immediately found her bosom friend, and the old mother who was sulking immediately said, "Who said no, these errand people in the house gate, one by one, their heads are long and their heads are on the top of their heads, which is more magical than the old man in the house." ”
"yes, yes, it's infuriating." Hu Niu hurriedly took over the conversation, naturally walked to the old mother's side, and seemed to have an unintentional suggestion, "I have a sulky stomach, it is rare to meet such an understanding person as my mother, go, I invite you to sit in the tea shop in front." ”
The old mother nodded without thinking about it, "It's okay to sit and sit, except for the nest that is held at the door of the house, it is really stuffy here." ”
In this way, Tiger Niu took the old mother and sat in a nearby tea shop. The old mother was so angry, and the tiger girl deliberately guided her, and the old mother shook out all the things that should be said and what should not be said.
It turned out that this old mother's ancestor and this old lady who settled down were distant relatives, and the two of them played together when they were children. Now although the old mother's family has declined, thinking about the love when she was a child, she still inquired and ran to visit the old sister, just in time for the 60th birthday of the old lady of the Ding family, so she stayed for a few more days, and suffered a lot of people's eyes for this.
This old lady of the Ding family has a total of two biological sons, but the eldest son's wife in the main room is not angry, and she has not come out, and several of the side rooms are also daughters. Therefore, in the face of the huge family business, the second son and daughter-in-law used their brains, wanting to let the old lady spit out as soon as possible, and put the power of the family in the hands of the second son and daughter-in-law who have grandchildren.
But this eldest daughter-in-law is also quite a means, up and down to take care of it properly, the old lady already likes to let her take care of the house, hesitated for a while, so that the relationship between the big house and the second room is more tense, and finally had to let out the words, if the eldest lady still has nothing to do within two years, the old lady for the sake of the family, and will not be able to take care of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years.
No, as soon as the old lady's words came out, the second room became arrogant, and even the girl Xia next to the second lady felt that she had become the master of this Ding Mansion.
