Chapter 111: The Flower Room (I)

"Even if there is a mother-in-law who is familiar with the terrain of the bamboo forest, but the gossip array in the bamboo forest, but the old lady invited the good Taoist in the Xianyuan Temple to come to the house to personally set it up, the gossip array is unpredictable, and the bamboo forest is three zhang higher than back then, but I am afraid that the array is no longer useful. It's not easy to find people inside! The old lady of the Li family took the Nanmu Buddha beads of golden silk handed over by the little maid Xiyue.

He closed his eyes slightly, and said to the eldest lady of the Li family sitting next to him: "You go to the outer courtyard to find a few good people to come over, and follow them to the bamboo forest to find people." I once opened a path in the bamboo forest, and if you follow the path and go in, you will be able to join the people who entered before in half an hour. ”

As soon as the old lady of the Li family finished speaking, the eldest lady of the Li family called the steward who was waiting in the outer courtyard and asked the steward to handle it.

Seeing that the old lady of the Li family was very concerned about finding Gu Yutang and Jiang Zhiming, the Lin family and Feng Lao'an were a little unexpected, although they didn't know what the reason was, but they were both grateful, and they didn't know how to repay them in the future?

If Gu Yutang and Jiang Zhiming are rescued safely, the Lin family must lead Gu Yutang to the old lady of the Li family and kowtow to her.

When Lin raised his eyes, he saw the old lady of the Li family looking preoccupied, with the Buddha beads of golden silk nanmu in her hand, and the words in her mouth seemed to be reciting some scripture again.

Just when the Lin family wanted to ask, Xiyue, who was waiting behind the old lady of the Li family, hurriedly stopped her, helped the Lin family to sit on the boxwood carved chair, and said softly: "Old lady Lin, my family priest is thinking of our third aunt and wife again, and she is reciting the Sutra of the Past to her." Our third aunt's wife had a hard life, and after being driven to the bamboo house by our old lady, she died with hatred. My family took pity on our third aunt and wife, and often recited the Sutra of the Past Life to her, hoping that she would get rid of the sea of suffering as soon as possible. ”

"You said that your third aunt and wife died with hatred, could it be that there is another secret in this? The gossip array in the bamboo forest, could it be that it was set up for your third aunt's wife?" Lin was accustomed to hearing the version circulating in the market, and it was rare to hear something different, and the curiosity in her heart was aroused at once, and she grabbed Xiyue's hand and asked.

Xiyue looked around for a while, and saw that there were no maids waiting around, so she dared to whisper to the Lin family: "Old Madam Lin, it is true that as you said, the gossip array in this bamboo forest is set up for my third aunt's wife. My third aunt's wife had a hard life, her husband smoked a lot of cigarettes before his death, and finally quit, and our third aunt and wife had a child, and the child died before the age of one because of the fetal poison in the mother's womb. ”

The third aunt of the Li family actually quit smoking? How did he die after that? What's going on? The Lin family had a question in their hearts, and when they were about to ask Xiyue again, the eldest wife of the Li family walked over to them.

"Old Madam Lin, the eldest lady is here, I won't tell you the hidden secrets, if the old lady is interested, you might as well ask my old lady, what she said is only more detailed than what I said." As soon as Xiyue's words fell, she saw the eldest lady of the Li family coming over, and after stepping forward to give a salute, she returned to the old lady of the Li family to serve.

Mrs. Li just saw Xiyue and Lin muttering in the corner for a long time, and she didn't hear what they were talking about, so she walked over. Who knew that as soon as he came over, Xiyue turned around and left, and he could only smile at Lin: "Old Madam Lin, you and Old Madam Feng have been tossing all night, you should be tired when you think about it, do you want me to send someone to send you to the guest room to rest for a while." ”

Lin shook his head, declined the kindness of the eldest wife of the Li family, and said, "Eldest wife, I understand your kindness." It's just that I fell in love with your old lady, and I have believed in Buddhism for many years, so let's talk to a few old women here! If you have all right, go down first. ”

It is rare that grandmother can have a few people to accompany her to talk, and Mrs. Li is a little happy in her heart. Seeing that there were Feng Lao'an and Mrs. Lin accompanying the old lady of the Li family in the house, he immediately withdrew from the maids and mothers-in-law who were waiting in the house, and called a few little maids dressed as sisters-in-law to wait inside.

After the refreshments were delivered from the kitchen, Mrs. Li personally held a cup of tea and sent it to the high table next to the old lady of the Li family, and then said to the Lin family with a smile: "Mrs. Lin, since you and your grandmother are in love, you old people will accompany your grandmother in the house to have a good talk!" I will not bother you. ”

As soon as Mrs. Li's voice fell, she walked out of the quiet room of the old lady of the Li family, and not long after she walked to the corridor, she saw a little maid rushing in from outside, and the little maid ran sweating profusely, and did not look at the road ahead, if it wasn't for Mrs. Li Jiada to avoid it in time, I was afraid that the little maid had already bumped into her.

"Where did the wild maid come from? Didn't you see the eldest lady? If you knock out the eldest lady with three long and two short, it will kill you, and it will not be enough to compensate. The maid Bijuan who was waiting beside Mrs. Li helped Mrs. Li sort out her clothes, and angrily scolded the little maid who was already kneeling on the ground.

The little maid was already trembling with fright, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times in a row, kowtowing while kowtowing, and said: "Bijuan girl, it is a slave who has eyes and does not know Taishan, and she didn't see that the person opposite is actually the eldest lady, so she almost bumped into it." Fortunately, the eldest lady is safe and sound, otherwise the slave and maid would have died a thousand times, ten thousand times, and it would be difficult to escape the blame. ”

It's just a trivial matter, is Bijuan so exciting? Mrs. Li glanced at Bijuan beside her, and Bijuan immediately understood what Mrs. Li meant, and personally helped the little maid up from the ground.

While helping her pat the dust on her clothes, she smiled and said, "Little girl, are you okay?" I didn't scare you, did I? I'm such a character, don't take the words you just said, don't take them to heart. ”

"Sister Bijuan, I'm fine. I don't know if the eldest lady is okay, but the slave almost bumped into the eldest lady. The little girl's face gradually recovered, and in the end she was frightened, and her face was still a little pale.

"You said it was almost, but it didn't happen. I'm fine, but I told you to kneel on the ground, and your knee hurts? Do you want me to let Bijuan help you back?" Mrs. Li asked with a little concern.

The old ladies of the Li family don't like to be arrogant and domineering, and they oppress slaves, so these wives of the Li family are all well-known virtuous and virtuous. Although the eldest lady of the Li family usually has some of the majesty of the eldest lady, in the end she is also a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and she can't bear to see the little maid being scared into this appearance by her personal maid.

"Big lady, the slave is fine! It's just a kneeling, in the past, Mother Zhang of the flower room asked the slaves and maids to kneel for three hours, and the slaves and maids didn't shout half of the word 'pain', this little injury is nothing. Seeing that the eldest lady did not punish her, the little maid's mood gradually improved, and a shallow smile appeared on her face.

"Mother Zhang of Huafang often punishes you? You honestly told me that others dare not make decisions with you, but I can make decisions for you! There are more and more slaves in the house, if they don't suppress their momentum, they really don't know who the housekeeper wife in the house is?" Mrs. Li said, helping the little maid to sit down on the bench under the porch.

The flower room of the Li Mansion is the place where the old lady of the Li family specializes in raising flowers, and after the flowers bloom, the flower room will be sent to the meditation room and enshrined in front of the Buddha for the old lady of the Li family. Relying on the protection of the old lady of the Li family, the housekeeper mother in the flower room became more and more dissatisfied with her discipline, even if she wanted flowers in the room, she had to push and ask for them three times before sending them.

If the other rooms want flowers, even if they have money in the flower room, and the amount they have not reached their hearts, they will never send the flowers. It's just that Mrs. Li didn't expect that Huafang was bullying others, and she actually bullied her own people, and took the little maid to get angry.

Seeing that the eldest lady of the Li family looked like she wanted to make her own decisions, the little maid simply cried, wiping her tears while pulling her throat and saying, "Please ask the eldest lady to make decisions for our sisters in the flower room!" Zhang's mother relied on herself to send flowers to the old lady several times, thinking that she had become a celebrity next to the old lady, so she regarded herself as the master. Let us go and wait for her to freshen up, but we should not, so she punished us by kneeling for three hours, and did not give us food. ”
