Chapter 159: Alertness

If it is usually easy to say, but at this time, Mrs. Shen finished speaking, Lao Anren did not pick up, and the cold snort of the second lady clearly fell on everyone's ears.

Mrs. Shen's face changed greatly, and her eyes became a little hateful when she looked at the second young lady.

Since you dare to do it, you must dare to do it.

Yu Tang didn't see it.

Aunt Chen, who was serving next to her, couldn't let the atmosphere become too bad, she hurriedly smiled: "Mrs. Shen has just recovered from her illness, and I don't know what the doctor has explained?" I also told the little maids and the servants to stay away. ”

Stomach discomfort is not a strange disease, most of the servants of rich and noble families have common sense in this regard, Aunt Chen asked, it is clear that she wants to play a round.

Lao An didn't know whether he was protecting his shortcomings or disliking Mrs. Shen, so he didn't stop it, and the others all looked at Lao An's people, of course, they all bowed their heads as quails.

Mrs. Shen's face became even more ugly, and the corners of her mouth were about to say something.

Gu Xi glanced at Yu Tang quickly.

She didn't expect that this Miss Yu was a shrunken turtle, and she looked out of the way when something happened, and she was watching the excitement from the side, what did Lao An ask her to do?

Is it because she is obedient?

But which of these young ladies of the Pei family is disobedient?

Can Lao An people take someone else's young lady with him in order to find an obedient little girl?

Gu Xi secretly despised Yu Tang in his heart, his mood was a little irritable, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he said with a smile: "Let Aunt Chen bother." The doctor didn't have any special explanation, just let me eat less spicy food for two or three days. ”

She had to find a way to figure out why Lao An called Yu Tang to live in the other courtyard!

Over there, Aunt Chen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Xi answer.

She has served Lao An people for so many years, and she knows the temper of Lao An people, especially after the old lady went, Lao An people became more and more free to do what they wanted without scruples, not to mention that like Mrs. Shen, she is the eldest wife of the Song family, her old man is just scared, and she doesn't leave any affection.

Now that Miss Gu has given this matter a step, she naturally wants to grasp it in her hands, and suddenly smiled: "I have also heard of avoiding spicy things." Although the food at home is usually light, I am afraid of anything. I'll tell those maids. After speaking, he immediately called a little maid over and said, "In addition to talking to the kitchen, you also have to make it clear to Mrs. Shen who serves beside her." If there's a mistake, watch your skin! ”

The little maid resignedly replied and quickly retreated.

Mrs. Chen asked Mrs. Shen, "Have you had dinner?" Do you want to add a little more? ”

That's a little unkind.

Usually, if you want to keep someone to eat, you will keep it directly, instead of asking others if they want to stay.

What's more, Mrs. Shen, aren't they here to eat at this time?

Mrs. Shen's eyebrows raised as she listened.

Gu Xi saved the scene again.

Before Mrs. Shen could speak, she smiled and said, "I'm afraid that there is no preparation in the kitchen, so I'll ask Hexiang to talk to the mother-in-law serving in our courtyard and bring our dinner here, right?" ”

That's what it means to stay for dinner.

Lao Anren glanced at Mrs. Shen.

Blue veins appeared on Mrs. Shen's forehead, but she did not refute Gu Xi's words.

Lao Anren smiled and said, "It's okay!" Mrs. Shen can't eat spicy food, but I am not spicy or happy, Mrs. Shen is just right, if she commits it again, it will be my sin. ”

Lao An people love spicy?

Yu Tang heard of it for the first time.

Gu Xi said with a smile: "I heard from the aunts on my aunt's side that Lao An people used to live with Mrs. Qian, who was an official in Changsha Mansion, for a few days, but I didn't expect that Lao An people's tastes have become the same as those of Hunan people. ”

Yu Tang also heard such a thing for the first time, and she looked at Lao Anren with some surprise.

Lao Anren's expression, which was still a little tense just now, smiled when she heard this, and she sighed in a reminiscent tone: "That was more than fifty years ago!" ”

Gu Xi smiled: "No matter how long it has passed, everyone will remember it." A few days ago, I heard my brother say that when his brother went to Changsha Mansion, he also went to the canal that the old man repaired back then, and said that although more than 50 years have passed, the irrigation of that piece of Kening Township still depends on the canals built by the old man when he was in office! Everyone is grateful for the grace of the old man, and there are still people who still offer the tablet of the old man! ”

"Really?" Lao Anren was surprised and delighted, and his eyes when he looked at Gu Xi no longer had the coldness they had before, and became enthusiastic, "Does anyone still remember my father?" ”

"Really!" Yu Xi nodded, looking sincere, and said, "It was my brother who wrote back to say it, otherwise how would I know?" And my brother's letter is not for me, but for my great uncle. said that being an official should be like a master, and let my uncle educate the children in the family to learn from the master. ”

"Oh, I'm bothering your brother." Lao An was polite, but his face was like a flower, and he talked about following his father in office when he was a child.

Gu Xi echoed a few sentences from time to time, and the atmosphere was warm.

Yu Tang admired it very much.

In her previous life, she still underestimated her.

It makes sense that she can be so popular.

The conversation between the two did not stop until the arrival of the second wife, and in this way, Lao Anren was still interested, and pulled the second wife to talk about it for a long time.

The second wife obviously not heard of it for the first time. She not only responded with a smile, but also said, "Mother, my grandfather's death day is approaching." Do you want to talk to the master of Zhaoming Temple and make a few water and land dojos for your grandfather? ”

"Not really." Lao Anren sighed and said, "You haven't been in contact with your grandfather, and he has a bad temperament." Before he died, he left a will to burn his body and sprinkle his ashes in the West Lake. Your uncle was so frightened that he had no idea, so he specially invited the suzerain of the family to come forward, and then buried your grandfather in the ancestral grave. I sometimes wonder who Yaoguang's temperament is following, and I think it's your grandfather. But your grandmother and grandfather don't think so, and they like him very much. Otherwise, your grandmother wouldn't have left all her dowry to Yaoguang when she left. You were just married! ”

Pei Yan's uncle is the heir brother of Lao Anren.

Isn't it because Pei Yan is his own grandson?

Yu Tang disagreed.

However, listening to what Lao An said, Pei Yan is really similar to his grandfather.

He even burned his body and sprinkled his ashes...... She shuddered at the thought of it.

The second wife may not be dissatisfied with Pei Yan's inheritance of her grandfather's property, but it is true that she is very good at talking.

"My grandfather has done whatever he wants all his life, the third uncle is like my grandfather, and my grandfather also likes the third uncle, so he wants to leave his own things to the third uncle, and my grandfather's things are better in the hands of the third uncle than in our hands, which can be regarded as a sword gift to the hero." She smiled and said, "It's also a good story." ”

Lao Anren looked happy and relieved, shook the second wife's hand and nodded.

Pearl came in and whispered that the meal was ready.

The second wife stood up with Lao Anren in her arms.

A group of people followed Lao An to the west to eat.

Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen sat on the left and right of Lao Anren.

Gu Xi sat under Mrs. Shen, Yu Tang sat under the second wife, and several Miss Pei sat by age.

The meal was also eaten quietly, and there was no mess.

After the meal, the Lao An people were in good spirits, and everyone went back to the east to drink tea and talk.

The topic shifted from Mrs. Qian before the meal to the snowy scenery of Phoenix Mountain.

Phoenix Mountain is on the outskirts of Hangzhou, and when it comes to the snow scene of Phoenix Mountain, of course, Gu Xi has more right to speak.

She talked vividly about following Gu Chaoyang to Phoenix Mountain to catch sparrows when she was a child.

Several Miss Pei, including Lao Anren, Second Wife and Mrs. Shen, all listened with relish. Only Yu Tang sneered in his heart.

In her previous life, she had also heard Gu Xi talk about catching sparrows.

It's not in Phoenix Mountain, but in Yongfu Temple, located in the western suburbs of Hangzhou.

According to Gu Xi in her previous life, it was her mother's tenth anniversary, and it was the first time she accompanied her brother Gu Chaoyang to the temple to make a dojo for her mother.

She believed Gu Xi's words in her previous life even more.

But Gu Xi can play to this extent on the spot, and Yu Tang still admires her very much.

The room was lively, and Aunt Ji walked in with a somewhat cautious expression and said a few words in Lao Anren's ear.

The smile on Lao Anren's face disappeared all of a sudden.

The fifth lady was so frightened that she grabbed Ah Shan's shirt behind her.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to be frozen.

Gu Xi hesitated.

Yu Tang knew that she felt that she should leave, but she didn't want to lose the opportunity to get close to Lao Anren.

Some opportunities are fleeting.

Before Gu Xi could speak, Lao Anren had already said lightly: "Since she has a heart, let her in!" After speaking, he also glanced at Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen was inexplicable, but Gu Xi had a bad feeling in her heart.

Yu Tang and a few Miss Pei held their breath.

After a while, Aunt Ji walked in with a woman in a silk robe.

Yu Tang was so frightened that he almost exclaimed.

The person who came was actually Mrs. Pei.

Yu Tang looked at it, but he hadn't seen her for more than a year, compared with Yu Tang when she first saw her, it was like she was ten years older all of a sudden, not only with gorgeous sideburns, but also with obvious wrinkles, and a haggard look, as if she had been twitched all of a sudden, and had no energy.

"Mother!" The eldest lady respectfully greeted Lao Anren, with a humble expression, where is there still the previous dignity and arrogance.

Yu Tang was at a loss for a moment.

What happened to the eldest lady in the past year? How could she be in another courtyard? Have you lived here since the old lady's funeral? Or did Lao An go into the mountain this time and bring the eldest lady with him?

Yu Tang's heart was like a tsunami, and she was afraid that others would see her surprise, so she lowered her head and drank tea in disguise.

It's just that the corner of her eyes inadvertently swept over Gu Xi when she put the teacup, and found that she was also drinking tea with her head down.

Yu Tang smiled bitterly.

Lao An has said to the eldest lady: "You are not in good health now, and you have to invite Imperial Doctor Yang to come over every month to take the pulse of peace, you can rest more, I have the second daughter-in-law to accompany me, and a few girls to accompany me, and there is nothing for you to be busy, you just take care of yourself." ”
