241 The gossip that Mrs. Sun heard
Without the neon lights that are the products of modern civilization shining all night, the night of Ningxian County is extraordinarily quiet and tranquil, even if there are occasionally a few black shadows flying in the sky, they are all silent, without causing any barking sound.
In such a dark night without moon and stars, there were two black shadows lurking silently on the roof of the Zhao family's study, one east and one west, just like two piles of moss that did not interfere with each other, motionless. In the study, Master Zhao was looking at the account book sent by Miss Zhao Er.
Master Zhao looked through it and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, yes, the second lady of our Zhao family doesn't let her eyebrows shave, and she takes care of these things very well." ”
"Thank you dad for your compliment, my daughter learned this skill from her father, and it was your father who taught me well." Miss Zhao Er said obediently, looking at Master Zhao's expression, and added tentatively, "It's been so long, what are you going to do, Daddy?" ”
"Hey" Master Zhao sighed helplessly, and said faintly, "This time it's my father's carelessness, and it's my father's greed." I thought that I could take this opportunity to make the Niu family, which had stood in Ning County for a hundred years, infighting, and raise the prestige of our Zhao family, but it's a pity, it's a pity. ”
"Daddy, you don't have to blame yourself too much, your daughter understands that you are doing this for the sake of the Zhao family. It's just that Zhang Ao is too unreliable, and the friends he introduced are also people who have not achieved enough and have more than enough failures, which makes his father passive. Miss Zhao Er said with timely relief.
Master Zhao smiled bitterly, "Hey, stealing chickens can't be reversed!" If it weren't for Yi'er, you made a quick decision and smashed the wind and rain building with someone first, I wouldn't know how to end it. I don't know how I was saved in a daze, and I still don't dare to go out. ”
"Daddy, don't worry, let's take precautions in the future, don't let Zhang Ao's mourning star enter the door. After waiting for a while, the rumors passed, and people forgot about it. Daddy can slowly go out and walk around. ”
"I'm afraid things can't be so good, the owner of Shanhai Pavilion is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and there is the Niu family to support him behind his back, you have to be careful in the future and try to avoid them." After Master Zhao's instructions, he sighed again, "As for Zhang Ao, I'm afraid it's easy to invite God, but it's difficult to send God, let's take one step at a time in the future, I just hope that God can make him forget our Zhao family, and never come to the door." ”
"What Daddy said is that my daughter has written it down." Miss Zhao Er agreed, and the conversation changed, "What about the third sister, you can't keep saying that she is crazy." ”
"Hmph, that thing that can't hold your breath, it's causing me a mess" Master Zhao said angrily, thought about it briefly, and ordered, "In the past few days, you can find a suitable time to let the people in their yard hang up and declare to the outside world that she is going." ”
"Yes, my daughter wrote it down."
"Well, it's not early, you go and rest."
"My daughter quit."
Miss Zhao Er walked out of the Zhao family's study with a dead wind lamp, snaked into the backyard, and went straight back to her yard.
A black shadow on the roof jumped up like a nighthawk, slid its wings, and fell silently as if in the dark night. Until the black shadow was completely gone, the old drunkard slowly straightened up, looked in the direction of the black shadow, and then flew up in the direction of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion.
The boundless darkness covered everything and swallowed it up. The scene that happened in the Zhao family was all silent, and when the sky gradually brightened, nothing left a trace.
'Squeak', the back door of the inner courtyard of Shanhai Pavilion was gently opened, and in the meager morning light, Miss Zhao San, accompanied by Hu Niu, quietly got into a carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, and drove towards the back door of the Ding family's compound with the sound of horses' hooves.
Mrs. Ding was also fully prepared, and she had already sent her confidant to wait at the back door, and as soon as she saw the carriage of Shanhai Pavilion, she immediately flashed out and greeted Hu Niu and Miss Zhao San who got off the car.
Hu Niu came yesterday, she knew her by sleeve, Hu Niu explained a few words to her, pushed Miss Zhao San forward, and got back into the carriage.
The horse's hooves sounded, and the carriage of Shanhai Pavilion returned the same way. Xiu'er pulled Miss Zhao San, who was a little stunned, and flashed into the courtyard, and the back door of Ding's house was quietly closed again. And at this time, a round red sun burst out, dyeing half of the sky red.
Yesterday, the county government sent a letter, Mrs. Sun was going to come to the house to visit, Mrs. Ding had already ordered, everyone should be in good spirits, distinguished guests come to the door, and no mistakes are allowed.
Therefore, as soon as the sun came out, the Ding Mansion was busy up and down, and the specifications were comparable to the specifications of the old lady of the Ding family making a birthday feast.
Mrs. Sun wanted to visit Dingfu not on a whim, some time ago, she was fortunate to meet the mysterious master Mo Niangzi, and Mo Niangzi once said to her stepdaughter Nan Nan that the little child looked like one of her old friends. On this point, Mrs. Sun weighed it for a long time.
Although Mrs. Sun is a stepfamily, she has a very good relationship with Sun Xianling, because she has never come out, and the previous Mrs. Sun only left a daughter, and Sun Xianling married several aunts.
Since Sun County ordered Laining County to take office, he didn't mention going to his ex-wife's sister's house to walk around, and Mrs. Sun didn't mention it, she raised her carefully, and privately wanted her to treat herself as her biological mother, and didn't want her to have any connection with her mother's family.
It's just that there has been a slight change in the current situation, Mrs. Sun's Mrs. Ding, who has always been unintentionally in contact, has such a friend, and even the wives of high-ranking officials in the capital are proud to know her, and the ladies in the palace all respect the clothes she makes. But I listened to the words of the inexplicable guest, and it was difficult for the Butterfly Clothes Workshop, and indirectly offended the Mo lady, although I saw people, but I didn't have any friendship.
Mrs. Sun has been wondering whether to visit Mrs. Ding and use her to mend the relationship with the mysterious master Mo Niangzi. Just when she was wandering, she heard the news that Mrs. Ding, who had not had children for many years, suddenly became pregnant, and Mrs. Sun, who had also been childless for many years, finally made up her mind.
Mrs. Sun's visit this time is not an ordinary one, and she also has something on her mind. Therefore, after breakfast, she asked the little girl to dress up beautifully, and she also put on the imposing clothes sent by Mo Niangzi herself, got into the carriage early, left the Sun house, and went straight to the Ding Mansion.
However, Mrs. Ding, who went out early, was blocked on the road, and just when her carriage was still two alleys to Ding's mansion, the road in front was blocked by a group of fighting homeless people.
"It's really bold, even the Sun family's carriage dares to block it, is it impatient?" Mrs. Sun raised her eyebrows with the little girl Lihua who was serving, and muttered hatefully, she was about to get out of the car to drive people.
At this moment, Mrs. Sun, who had good ears, moved her expression and stopped Lihua, who was about to get out of the car, "Slow, let's not worry, let Lao Li Tou outside inquire about the situation." ”
"Yes." Pear Blossom's face turned a few times, and finally bowed her head in response, turned around and got out of the car to pass on Mrs. Sun's words.
After sending the pear blossoms, Mrs. Sun patted Xiao Nannan's hand comfortingly, and then listened attentively to the discussions of the people watching the excitement outside.
"Hey, have you heard? Mrs. Ding was not pregnant for no reason. ”
"Does your family have an errand in Dingfu? Is there any inside information that can't be found? ”
"Of course, otherwise, after so many years of infertility, why would there be sudden rumors of joy."
"Tell me about it, talk about it."
"I tell you, don't go around shouting."
"No, no, just say it."
"This is because Mrs. Ding went to Shanhai Pavilion to drink some porridge, so she got pregnant so quickly."
"Shanhai Pavilion's porridge? Is there anything magical? I thought it was bluffing like the jade soup in the Wind and Rain Building some time ago. ”
"If it's really the credit of this porridge, isn't this porridge more effective than medicine? In the future, if your daughter-in-law is infertile, why don't you just go to Shanhai Pavilion to drink porridge? ”
"Shhhh Be quiet! I don't know if we in Ningxian are taboo with medicine? If you chew your tongue again, you will be caught by the servants and put in prison, but don't cry out for injustice. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, let's just watch the excitement of other people's affairs."
"Let's go, let's go, let's disperse."
The words of those people were far away, but the words they said were heard in Mrs. Sun's ears, and ripples rippled in her heart.
At this time, Pear Blossom and Lao Li Tou dispersed the street thugs who were fighting in groups, and returned to the car, and the Sun family's carriage walked up again.
Mrs. Ding sent someone to wait at the gate early in the morning, and saw the Sun family's carriage coming from a distance, so she hurriedly trotted in to report the letter.
Mrs. Ding also cleaned up neatly in the morning, waiting on the soft collapse on the outside. Hearing the return of her subordinates, she got up, held her sleeves and Xiao Tao's hand, and hurriedly greeted her.
When Mrs. Ding walked to her gate, Mrs. Sun's carriage had just stopped, and she was helping Lihua's hand to get out of the car. ”
Mrs. Sun had a kind smile on her face, and helped Mrs. Ding up, "Sister, don't be so polite, if you talk about it, we are all our own family, but everyone is busy on weekdays, and there is less movement, and there are some births, this is all sister's, sister, don't blame sister." ”
Mrs. Ding saw the girl of the Sun family hugging a beautiful five or six-year-old girl from the car, listening to Mrs. Sun's kind words, and slowly figured out the purpose of her visit to Ding's mansion this time. She quickly put on a smiling face and changed her title, "My sister is helping my brother-in-law, and I can't get out, I should have visited my sister." However, it was also a trivial matter at home, so it was delayed, and I asked my sister not to blame it. ”
