Chapter 8: The First Sight of An's
For Luo Qingtong, this is a good start, but she is looking forward to the child more.
Lu Xinyi has nothing to do in his life, he likes children the most, and now there is a new member in the family, and Yu Yuan will also have a new friend.
Isn't that a good thing?
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Then thank you old lady, thank you Mama Liu!" ”
While the three of them were talking, the little girl outside came to report, saying that the second wife had brought Sister Xiang to invite the old lady to come here.
Luo Qingtong took a deep breath, An's, is it finally here!
After a while, the second wife, An, brought her eldest daughter Yu Xiang in, and greeted the old lady first, the elders had seen it, Luo Qingtong looked at the second wife seriously, and saw that she was wearing a concubine-colored woven gold long jacket skirt, a satin horse-faced skirt with makeup, and a few golden hairpins on her head, but she was a wife in charge of the feed.
She was followed by her eldest daughter Yu Xiang, who is thirteen years old this year and is already looking at each other.
Everyone sat down according to their positions, and when An saw his sister-in-law, he said: "Today's sister-in-law is early, I am early every day, but I can't catch up with my sister-in-law today!" Eh, why don't you see Sister Yuan today? But my sister-in-law got up early in the morning, and she was still asleep as a daughter! ”
Luo Qingtong thought in his heart, here!
This is ostensibly saying that Yu Yuan can't get up, Zuo is just putting the two children together and comparing them, but Yu Yuan is still young and can't say anything, but if you listen to it again, the voice will be wrong, isn't this just naming her to say that she hasn't come to see the old lady recently, and she will get up early in the morning with bad intentions?
"Sister Yuan is still young, and besides, I've been lying in the house for several days, so I can get up today, so naturally I have to be earlier." It's not salty, it's not light, and it's back.
"Second daughter-in-law, the clothes you have on today are gorgeous!" Suddenly, the old lady spoke slowly.
As soon as An heard the old lady mention the clothes, a smug smile flashed on her face and said: "Isn't it, this material is brightly colored, and it was given by Brother Mu's daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law liked it very much when she saw it, so she asked her to cut it down to make clothes." As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Qingtong.
Luo Qingtong didn't give a single look, what is this for?
In front of her, show off how good her niece and daughter-in-law are to her?
In front of the old lady, you don't have a brain!
If it was the original Lu Xinyi, I am afraid that he would not give a good face, but now that Luo Qingtong has been replaced, he naturally has to endure it at this time, so he smiled and said, "Yes?" Brother Mu's daughter-in-law is the most filial, just looking at her filial piety to her aunt, let alone to her grandmother and other elders, old lady, you say yes! ”
Dial a thousand pounds in four or two, pretend not to know anything, and if you shake your hair again, you are just an aunt, not a mother!
When the old lady heard this, she smiled and nodded.
Mama Liu smiled and said on the side: "Uncle Mu and Grandma Mu are both filial people, and the old lady and the eldest lady are blessed!" ”
Luo Qingtong said yes with a smile, and the old lady listened to it and scolded with a smile: "You old goods, you will pick up good ones!" The eldest daughter-in-law, look at you, although Fang is sick, but this dress is too plain, if my wife remembers correctly, you are younger than the second daughter-in-law! ”
When Luo Qingtong heard this, he silently gave a thumbs up in his heart, really good!
On the surface, she is saying that her clothes are too plain, but in fact, she is saying that the second wife is older than her and dresses more glamorously than her, what is that?
To put it mildly, the second daughter-in-law, your clothes are too colorful!
It's so glamorous that it's not suitable for this age to wear!
Old lady, you're amazing!
Sure enough, as soon as she heard this, An's face changed, is the old lady talking about her getting old?
The old lady didn't care about the lawsuit between their concubines, and said: "Recently, there was a distant guest from the house, and now the eldest daughter-in-law's health is almost better, I discussed with the eldest lady, and this guest will be received by the eldest daughter-in-law, and the eldest daughter-in-law will take care of it." ”
Luo Qingtong got up and bowed to say yes.
An heard that the Lu family wanted to come forward to receive her, and her face was even more ugly, in the past, she was in charge of Zhong Kui in the family, and she also received guests, but now, I don't know which guest to come, the old lady and the Hou Ye actually assigned the Lu family to come forward, what is going on?
The old lady is old and confused, how can Hou Ye make such an arrangement?
Isn't that a slap in the face!
"Old lady..."
"The eldest daughter-in-law should take care of it, and it will inevitably be hard, but when the guests come from afar, what yard they want to live in, and everything they should greet them, you have to be careful."
Luo Qingtong nodded again, and the old lady said something again, so she asked them to go together.
When the two went out, Mama Liu personally opened the curtain and sent them out, what Luo Qingtong didn't know was that when she walked out, the old lady's afterglow fell on her body and stretched it for a long time.
When she walked down the steps, An Shi walked beside her, quietly measured her body, and whispered: "Sister-in-law has face now, but this huge Hou Mansion will never be your sister-in-law in the future!"
Luo Qingtong glanced at her, didn't speak, and didn't even lose a trace of his steps, holding the maid's hand, he walked down the steps step by step, leaving An Shi behind him, looking at her suddenly tall back, leaving a hideous face.
Luo Qingtong took Jiang Qian back to the yard, and not long after arriving, the girls outside opened the curtain and reported: "Mama Liu is here!" ”
When Luo Qingtong looked up, he saw Mama Liu walking briskly and bowing down; "Greetings, Mrs. Please."
Luo Qingtong nodded, the little girl moved the embroidery pier and asked her to sit down, Luo Qingtong smiled: "It's going to be hard work early in the morning." ”
Mama Liu owed a debt and said with a smile: "Mrs. is polite, if it is not for Mrs. Qiong, it is for Miss Qiong, and the old slave will never give up." ”
Mama Liu is the first proud person around the old lady, and she once worked as the housekeeper around Yu Qiong, and her relationship with her has always been very deep.
At this time, Bi Tao had already taken the little girls to set up breakfast, Luo Qingtong saw that it was all light, so he greeted: "In the early morning, Mama must also have an empty stomach, I am all lighter here, and Mama will also use some together!" ”
Luo Qingtong asked her to sit at the same table, but she didn't even dare to say it, so she had to point out a few things for her to take out to eat.
Luo Qingtong's taste is not heavy, in the end, it is a marquis's family, and breakfast is not much worse, Luo Qingtong uses less, look at the time, Yu Yuan should also get up, and asked the kitchen to make some of her favorite food to send.
After all the arrangements were made, he asked Jiang Qian to pass Mama in, and Bi Tao took the little girls to clean up.
Mama Liu ate faster than her, so she waited outside, Luo Qingtong sat on the top, carefully looking at the booklet in her hand; "The general arrangement, I just told the old lady, but I haven't met Miss Qiong, and I don't know what her preferences are, and I don't even know what Sister Shu'er likes, how good is this?" Luo Qingtong said, with a look of annoyance on his face.
Mama Liu took her look into her eyes and said: "This is not difficult, the old slave has served the girl, the girl's yard has always been cleaned, and the furnishings in the house have always been the same, as long as there is a little bit of what the young lady likes, think about it, if Sister Shu knows that this is the yard where her own mother lived, she will be happy." ”
Luo Qingtong nodded: "It's this reason, even if it's so, I have to bother my grandmother to take it with me once, and in addition, the key to Luming Garden is not in my place, and I have to get it from the second wife." ”
Luo Qingtong sent Jiang Qian to go to An Shi to get the key.
An Shi returned to his yard, closed the door, and said everything: "This Lu Shi! Dare to beg in front of the old lady to be tricky, a steproom, I just give her a little face, I don't ask for it, and dare to instigate trouble! ”
Although Lu's words have always been soft, she has a lot, so she can naturally hear the meaning of those words, and they are so good in front of the old lady, people who don't know still think that she and Brother Mu are a family of mothers and children!
When she said this, she didn't panic!
An complained angrily, but his daughter Yu Xiang, who had been by her side, shook her mother's hand and said with a smile: "Mother, the eldest aunt is really not worried, no matter how good she does, what is the use of Brother Mu and Jiahui's sister-in-law if they don't buy it?" Besides, you and Mrs. Former are the affection of the boudoir, which is incomparable to the eldest wife, in this case, what are you anxious about? ”
Hearing this, An Shi nodded: "It's this Li'er!" No matter how good the Lu family is, Brother Mu doesn't recognize her, then she can't plan anything! ”
Hearing that Jiang Qian came to pick up the key to Luming Garden, An Shi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly an alarm bell sounded in his heart: "Why does your wife want the key to Luming Garden?" ”
Jiang Qian looked innocent, and said a little confused: "Back to the second wife, the slave and maid just did what the wife ordered, as for why the wife asked for the key to Luming Garden, the slave and maid didn't know, but Mama Liu said that the key to Luming Garden was in the hands of the second wife, and the slave and maid came over." ”
That expression, like she was not the big girl next to Lu Xinyi, but a little girl who didn't know anything.
"You...."An Shi looked at her with an innocent look, she really didn't have any anger, and she originally wanted to shirk it, but listening to the meaning of her words, thinking that the old lady also sent a Liu Mama there, thinking that she still couldn't offend such a big Buddha, she could not take Lu Xinyi, the sister-in-law who was the last to enter the house, in her eyes, but she couldn't offend the first offended grandma next to the old lady, and in desperation, she had to take out a large string of keys, take out the string of Luming Yuan and hand it to Jiang Qian.
Jiang Qian took the key and bowed respectfully, respectfully so that no one could find the slightest mistake.
An Shi's anger, which had already subsided, rose rapidly with the string of keys that had been handed over.
"Madame.... That Lu Mingyuan...."After Jiang Qian left, Mama Li beside An Shi spoke a little uneasily, but she saw that An Shi's hand on the side trembled unconsciously.
