Early the next morning, before dawn, Zhu Xiaoyan came to the outside of Mu'en Hall to wait. When the mother-in-law in charge of guarding the gate of the courtyard saw her, she was so frightened that she hurriedly rubbed her eyes, thinking that she had seen it wrong.

"Second lady? How do you dress like this? ”

Zhu Xiaoyan knows how to be restrained now, she is plain and elegant today, and she looks more humble than a decent maid.

Facing a mother-in-law, she also said with a rare pleasant face: "I think that I haven't come to greet my ancestor for a few days, and I feel very sorry not to go." So I came here early today, by the way, Mom, I don't have to call the old lady, I'll wait here. ”

The mother-in-law was secretly speechless in her heart, and she responded to this, how dare she really delay? hurriedly went in and returned to Chen's mother, and Chen's mother said, "Just ask her to wait outside." ”

After saying that, he lifted the curtain again and walked into the inner room. The old lady didn't sleep well at night, and at this time in the morning, when she slept sweetly, Chen's mother pretended to be careless and gently took off a bright pheasant feather inserted in the vase. When the old lady heard this, she turned and sat up, and asked with some anxiety, "Who is there?" So early, what's the matter? ”

Chen's mother first confessed and said, "It's the second lady who came, and the slave maid saw that she was in a hurry, thinking that something might be wrong, so she came in to see if the master had woken up?" ”

The old lady was impatient when she heard Zhu Xiaoyan's name at this time, and she was awakened by someone to get up, so she spat and said, "What kind of person should I be?" Keep her waiting outside! Hum! I didn't see her come to me so early to set rules when I was in the past, but now I know that I have lost power, and I know that she came to me to pretend? Phew, it's black her heart! ”

Mother Chen was right when she heard this, but she still persuaded her: "Yes, but madam, the slave maid saw that the second lady came in such a hurry, could it be because there was something on the second young master's side?" Otherwise, she will be summoned in a moment to ask for a few words? It's good to rest assured! ”

As soon as Chen's mother mentioned her uncompetitive grandson, the old lady's heart was blocked again. She sighed heavily and said fiercely, "Don't mention that disobedient monkey to me!" It's really my ....... Alas! If this kind of thing spreads a little rumor, my Song family's reputation will be completely ruined. ”

Mother Chen pondered and said: "Although several doctors have said that the second young master is difficult to cure, but the world is unpredictable, perhaps, the Buddha blessed the Bodhisattva to manifest, and in a few years, the second young master will get better!" ”

"Humph! How many years later? Such a scandal, don't say that it will be a few years, even a year and a half, and I am afraid that the paper will not be able to hold the fire! Ahem....... If it weren't for the grandson I grew up watching and cherished in my arms, I would have been ........"

The old lady spoke, and her eyes gradually revealed disgust. Mother Chen saw it clearly from the side, and said: "Don't worry, madam, you love your children and grandchildren with such a loving feeling, and the slaves and maids also remember the sons and girls in the house." It's just a pity that the second young master is such a talent, alas, otherwise, in another year and a half, it would be time to settle a family affair with the Ning Mansion. ”

The old lady was reminded like this, but remembered, so she asked, "Ning Mansion?" Was it the mansion where they were going to give the three girls of their family to Siwen before? ”

"Yes, old lady, this Ning Mansion had a close relationship with the second lady at that time, and the slave maid heard that except for the kung fu on the surface, the rest has been said! Promise the third girl of their family to our second young master, this marriage also matches ......."

"Match what? Are you really old and confused? Now that Siwen has become like this, let alone the powerful Ning Mansion, even the daughter of the idle common people, it must not be able to rely on! ”

After speaking, the old lady ordered: "Forget it, I will also get up left and right." Go and have someone come in and wash and change my clothes. After letting Zhu Xiaoyan stand outside for a while, he called him in to reply. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhu Xiaoyan stood in the courtyard for a long time, standing really sore, and seeing the sun rising higher and higher, he finally waited for someone to call him in.

Who knows it's okay not to go in, as soon as she entered the door, the old lady reprimanded her with a face that was not a face and a nose. After taking a breath and asking about the marriage with Ning Fu again, Zhu Xiaoyan chuckled in her heart, but she didn't dare to hide it from the old lady, so she avoided the important and trivialized, and only said that she did laugh with Mrs. Ning at the beginning, but she didn't exchange tokens, so she couldn't take it seriously.

As he was saying this, he suddenly heard someone open the curtain and come in and reply: "Second Mrs. Yu, Ning Fu sent someone to send something over, first to your Chunhua Courtyard, and you were not there, so I sent it here." ”

After speaking, the man also brought up a stack of gift boxes and placed them in front of the old lady.

The old lady couldn't care so much at this time, picked up the gold-lacquered cane in her hand, and picked it up on the gift box. All of a sudden, the gift box was scattered, and the precious tonic contained in it was scattered all over the ground.

"Good for you, Zhu Xiaoyan! You're so dead, you! You still dare to open your eyes in front of me and talk nonsense, you say, since there is no decision, why does the Ning Mansion send things to you in three days? Hmph, you're really, the dog has the guts to cover you! ”

As the old lady spoke, the crutches in her hand fell on Zhu Xiaoyan like rain. Zhu Xiaoyan was stunned by the beating, and only cared about hiding around with his head in his hands.

She couldn't figure it out, why did the Ning Mansion send someone to deliver something at this time? I don't usually have such a good personal relationship with Mrs. Ning, right? It's really bad luck to get home!

After the old lady had played a majestic role, she stopped and took a sip of tea to take a breath. Then Zhu Xiaoyan knelt there, and he swaggered to the round table and began to enjoy a hearty breakfast.

Strange to say, since the old lady was cured from her last illness, her appetite has increased day by day. Chen's mother did what she liked, and secretly instructed the people in the kitchen to dig out their minds every day and make some heavy food.

The old lady was happy to eat, but she was not stingy at all, and even praised the kitchen lady for coming to work, and now, the kitchen lady was even more happy.

This morning, in the breakfast brought from the kitchen, there was a plate of steamed chicken feet with abalone sauce, jade crystal shrimp dumplings, three-color ghee roasted wheat, and more than a dozen sour and spicy side dishes. There are a whole table of plates, all of which are full of color, flavor and flavor.

In order to show her sincerity, poor Zhu Xiaoyan got up in the morning, washed her face and went out. At this time, my stomach was empty, and my hunger and thirst were unbearable. After smelling the rich aroma of the food that was served one after another, he swallowed his saliva again and again. At this time, the old lady only cared about the rise of her own food, and Chen's mother was serving beside her, praising every dish intentionally or unintentionally, Zhu Xiaoyan smelled the smell and listened to the swishing sound, and wanted to go crazy for a while.

Hum! These snobs, one day, she will definitely make them look good! Dead old stuff!

She lowered her eyes, her hands clenched secretly in her sleeves, her teeth clenched tightly, and she couldn't stop cursing everyone present.

It was easy to wait for the old lady to eat a meal, and someone came in outside, I heard that it was Aunt Gui who came to greet her, but the old lady ordered someone to invite Aunt Gui in front of Zhu Xiaoyan. It's tea and snacks again, so it's not affectionate, just hang Zhu Xiaoyan over there, and it's embarrassing to advance or retreat.

After Aunt Gui came in, she brought the food box she brought, opened it and said, "Ancestor, this is the five-flower wine stuffed meatballs I made in the morning, come, you can taste it, the taste is acceptable?" ”

The old lady ate so many delicacies in one go, and she thought about using it again later. But in front of Zhu Xiaoyan, she wanted to give Aunt Gui extra face, so she asked Chen's mother to take it, and just about to put it in her mouth, she heard a commotion outside. It turned out that Song Siwen got Zhu Xiaoyan's report and hurriedly rushed over.

When Zhu Xiaoyan saw her son coming, she was happy and sour in her heart. But when she thought of her glory and wealth, as well as the next few decades, she hardened her heart and said to Song Siwen: "Why don't you come and see the ancestors?" The old ancestor has loved you so much since you were a child, and in the days when you were sick, the old ancestor didn't worry about you. Go, give the ancestors a cup of tea and rinse their mouths. I see that the wine-stuffed meatballs brought by Aunt Gui smell very fragrant, and you will also ask the ancestor for a bowl to eat after a while, if it is good, I will also learn from Aunt Gui when I go back. ”

Song Siwen has been tossing the maid in his yard for the past few days, but he was horrified to find that he really can't be a man anymore. No matter how beautiful the maid was stripped naked in front of him, he still couldn't fight with it.

In his mind, he would always unconsciously appear the terrible scene of Mulberry appearing in front of him that night, and he was afraid, afraid that this girl who died in his hands would really come back to ask for his life.

As soon as he thought of this, he was unusually weak, and no matter how much tonic he took, he didn't see any improvement.

Every time he thought of this, he was inexplicably frightened and weak in his heart, and after receiving his mother's strict order, he also knew that he was now going to take care of this grandmother, otherwise, with his father's ruthless style and character, if his disease really couldn't be cured, then in the future, in order to avoid people's words, he would definitely send himself far away to a Zhuangzi, and he would die this life.

So Song Siwen immediately smiled and stepped forward to make a cup of tea for the old lady, the old lady looked coldly at this grandson she had loved for more than ten years, how soft-hearted was it, so she took the teacup, and pointed to the bowl of wine-stuffed balls in front of her, and said, "Isn't it not good yet?" Come here so early, but haven't had breakfast yet? ”

"The ancestor took pity on his grandson, and his grandson thought that he hadn't come to greet you for a few days, so he came here early."

Song Siwen said, and sat down next to the old lady. He picked up the bowl of wine-stuffed meatballs, ate most of the bowl, and said vaguely as he ate, "Well, it tastes really good." Mother, you ....... when you look back."

"If you think it's good, eat more, alas! You kid, it's really a ...... that doesn't make people worry."

The old lady said, turned her head a little sourly, and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Clinker, just when Song Siwen didn't finish a bowl of meatballs, suddenly fell headlong, startling everyone.

"Second Young Master! Second Young Master, what's wrong with you? ”

"Siwen! My son, don't scare your mother! Wake up! .......Yes! What's going on? Why do you bleed when you eat? ”
