Chapter 29: Apology
The third aunt carefully explained to the second miss, and called Yin Zi in: "Wait a minute, the second miss will take Yanhong to the third miss's courtyard, you take this belt, go to the study to find the master......" After saying so, the second miss Mengqi walked towards the third miss's Luoying Pavilion.
And Yin Zi hid the belt in her sleeve, and then pretended to go back to the second lady's Tingxue Pavilion to get something, and after going out, she went straight to the master's study.
"Miss, the second miss is here." Dream Language, who was practicing calligraphy, heard the maid's announcement outside the door, and felt a little strange. This second sister didn't have a good relationship with herself from the beginning, and since she spoke ill of her, causing herself to faint in anger, she was even punished and grounded. Now that it's finally released, why did you come to Luoying Pavilion? At the old lady's just now, she still had a resentful expression on her face. Didn't I intercede for the third aunt, and the third aunt was grateful, so I asked the second lady to come over?
Mengyu cleaned up the notebook on the desk, and now it was too late to burn it, so she found a blank piece of paper and put it on top of her notebook.
"Why is the second sister here?" Mengyu smiled and looked at the second lady Mengqi inquiringly.
"It's okay, just come and see the third sister." The second lady looked around the house and said to the third lady, "What does my sister do in the room every day?" With that, he walked over to his desk. Just feel free to read books to pass the time. Mengyu followed the second lady to the desk.
Xu is Mengyu's handwriting had not yet dried when he was about to post just now, and the ink was printed out of the white paper. The second lady reached out and removed the ballast stone that was pressed on the paper, removed the white paper with a little ink, and found that the paper below was full of words. The font is quite bony, but I have never seen it, and it is not the same as the font of Miss San.
Mengyu looked at the second miss nervously, praying in her heart that the second miss didn't recognize the words of the little dream.
But the heavens did not obey people's wishes, and the second miss still raised her head with a strange face, and asked the third lady: "Who wrote this word?" As she spoke, the second lady glanced at the whole room again, and also took a special look at the open window.
"My sister's question is so strange, of course, this word is written in a dream." Mengyu took the plunge and admitted it. It seems that she can only take one step at a time.
"Is this really written by my sister? In the past, the words of the third sister were not like this. With that, the second lady put down the notebook in her hand, walked to the window in a few steps, leaned out, and looked out of the window.
Mengyu was worried about how to answer, so he didn't notice the second lady's movements: "In the past, Mengyu's body was not good, and the whole person was tired, so he naturally couldn't write well." Recently, my body has improved, and I have more strength in my hands. Recently, she has been diligent in practicing calligraphy, and the second sister will feel that the font of Dream Language has changed at first glance. ”
The second lady turned her head and looked at Mengyu with a look of disbelief: "Is that really the case?" ”
"It must be so." Dream replied in the affirmative.
The second lady let go of the doubts in her heart, remembered the purpose of coming here today, stepped forward with a smile, took Mengyu's hand and said, "I heard my sister say that her health is improving, and my sister is relieved." When I went to visit the third aunt just now, my aunt also asked me to apologize to my sister, because my sister spoke out of proportion that day, forgetting that my sister was not in good health and couldn't be stimulated. My sister's original intention was really to let my sister plan for herself early. ”
The old lady didn't believe this, would she believe it? But since she is here to apologize, in line with the purpose of resolving grievances rather than settling them, then she will reluctantly accept it. Mengyu held the second lady's hand and said with a smile: "My sister knows in my heart that my sister has good intentions, but Mengyu's body is really useless, so it will cause my sister and third aunt to be punished by my grandmother." ”
"Didn't my sister drag her sick body to intercede for her sister and aunt! My sister knows that Sister Mengyu is a kind-hearted person, and we all accept my sister's affection. I just want to ask my sister to forgive my sister for her recklessness that day. With that, the second lady bowed down with a sincere attitude.
Mengyu hurriedly helped the second lady up and said, "The second sister is too polite, Mengyu has never blamed the sister, how can I forgive it." ”
"My sister is generous. Otherwise, tomorrow morning, Sister Mengyu will go to the lake with her sister, and the two of us sisters will enjoy tea and fish, I wonder if my sister will have time? Can you get my sister's love? ”
Mengyu didn't really want to go, but she didn't go, and it seemed that she still had a grudge against the second lady, but she was not broad-minded. So, Mengyu smiled and nodded in agreement: "Then it's troublesome sister." ”
"Don't bother, don't bother, I'll be ready tomorrow, so I'll send Yanhong to invite my sister, my sister must come." The second lady instructed with a smile on her face. After saying that, he said goodbye to the dream and left.
Mengyu only thought that all this was just a small gathering of sisters on weekdays, and she didn't take it to heart.
On the other hand, at the same time, Yin Zi entered the master's study, presented the belt, and said, "This is the belt that the second lady personally embroidered for the master during the two months of grounding." ”
Master Lin looked at the belt in front of him, this stitching method is exactly the same as that of the third aunt on his clothes, presumably Mengqi's girl also has her mother's true inheritance. Since that incident, he hasn't been to the third aunt's yard for a long time. Master Lin thought so, raised his head, looked at the maid beside the second lady and said, "What about the second miss, why did you send it by yourself?" ”
I was really sleepy and met the pillow, originally Yin Zi was still thinking about how to turn the topic to the third lady, since the old man mentioned it, it saved her from spending any thought, and then said: "The second miss went to visit the third aunt's courtyard, and the third aunt told the second miss to apologize to the third lady, and thank the third miss for interceding for her." The second lady had planned to go to the third aunt, so she went to the third lady's house, and after listening to the third aunt's words, she went immediately. ”
When Master Lin heard this, he thought: The third aunt is really not such a vicious person, I am afraid that the old lady blamed her for what happened that time. As for the second lady Mengqi, knowing that mistakes can be corrected, is very good, after all, she is still a child, and sometimes it is understandable that she speaks without a little measure. "You go back and tell the second lady that your father likes this belt very much, and tell her that you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and don't make mistakes again." As he spoke, he waved his hand to let Yin Zi retreat.
After Mr. Lin finished his business, it was almost time for dinner, and after thinking about it, he walked towards the third aunt's courtyard.
The third aunt was sitting at the coffee table, thinking about what loopholes she had to explain to the second lady, and suddenly Qingcao walked into the house quickly, and Fu Shen said: "Auntie, the mother-in-law outside the courtyard said that the master is coming here." ”
As soon as the third aunt heard this, she immediately ruffled her hair, walked to the dresser, dipped a little of the white powder that puffed her face on weekdays, and put it on her lips, and then lay on the bed, and let the grass go to the door to wait for the master.
Master Lin walked into the third aunt's house and found the third aunt lying on the bed, and when he saw him coming, he immediately struggled to get up. Master Lin thought that the third aunt had just been punished for the board, so he felt a little pity, walked up, pressed the third aunt who wanted to get up, and said, "Luzhu, your injury is not healed, just lie down." ”
The third aunt lowered her body slightly, with a little sob, and said, "Concubine, thank you for your understanding." ”
"Alright, I'm here to see how you're doing." Master Lin looked at the third aunt's face and frowned: "Why is your complexion so bad?" Have you asked a doctor to come and take a look? ”
"Master Lao is thinking about the concubine, the concubine is already alive, and the injury is almost healed. The concubine still has to keep her life to serve the master. The third aunt said aggrievedly, as if her wife had never asked her for a doctor.
"Tomorrow, I'll ask my wife to ask the doctor to come and show you." After a pause, he thought of the second lady again, and said, "I heard that you asked Mengqi's girl to apologize to the third girl?" Sure enough, you are still sensible, no wonder Mengqi also listens to you. In the future, you can teach her well, so that she doesn't talk anymore. ”
"The concubine has already told the second miss about this matter, and the second miss also said that she is going to entertain the third miss by the lake early tomorrow morning and apologize." After a pause, he said as if he had nothing to say: "If it weren't for the inconvenience of the concubine, I would definitely go to the lake tomorrow to have a look, and the harmony of sisters is also a good story." ”
Master Lin sat thoughtfully for a while, came back to his senses, and felt that he suddenly had nothing to say to the third aunt, so he was about to get up and leave: "Then you have a good rest, and I will come to see you another day." ”
The third aunt looked at Master Lin with a blank eye, and said, "The master hasn't been here to see the concubine for a long time, won't the master stay longer?" Why don't you have to eat before you leave? ”
Master Lin thought for a while: "No, I have already told my wife that I will eat at her place." ”
The third aunt gritted her teeth and looked at the back of Master Lin leaving, and her flower-like face became distorted.
