Chapter Forty-Seven: The Waiter's Study
She looked outside and ordered, "Bring in breakfast."
The original girl in the house replied: "Back to the young grandmother, breakfast can only be delivered after greeting the old lady and his wife." ”
This is the person who was by Brother Ping'er's side earlier, and Wang Jingshu asked unhappily: "When was Brother Ping'er's breakfast delivered before?" ”
That girl was originally sent by the house to teach Brother Ping'er about people, she wanted to be an aunt, and she could have some status by fooling this fool. At this time, I didn't like this new young grandmother, so I replied: "The eldest young master doesn't need slaves and maids to serve breakfast, he went out to find food by himself, and there is no habit of sending breakfast in this courtyard." ”
Wang Jingshu snorted coldly and ignored the girl anymore, turned around and pulled out a handkerchief and stepped forward to coax Brother Ping'er and said, "Brother Ping, this thing stinks, let's not eat it, Shu'er will take you out to find good food, let's go, let's go." ”
"Okay, good" Brother Ping said and handed her the crockpot, Shu'er took it and put it aside, and glanced at her own girl.
While walking, she wiped Brother Ping'er's hands, helped him wipe his mouth clean, and took him to the kitchen, which she only knew where it was after she asked Brother Ping.
When she arrived at the kitchen, she didn't let go of Brother Ping'er's hand, no matter what the mother-in-law looked at her, and regardless of the obstruction of these people, she went over and gave one to Brother Ping, coaxed him and said: "Brother Ping will eat something in the future to find Shu'er, Shu'er will take you out to snatch it out and steal it, and she won't let you eat the swill that the pigs don't eat." ”
Brother Ping stuffed it into his mouth violently, choked Shu'er and handed him a bowl of warm soup, so he made a fuss in the kitchen for a while, and fed Brother Ping'er well, so he took his hand and went back to their yard.
The courtyard was still bright yesterday, but today it can't be pretended to be without guests, the brilliance fades, and everything fades with it. It's as simple as if the house has been vacant for many years, and even the furniture has almost been moved.
The soft couch was also removed, the dining table was gone, and the two broken chairs and one had only three legs.
Brother Ping is accustomed to it, this yard and this house are more broken than yesterday, and he is more comfortable than yesterday. When I entered the courtyard, I found a comfortable place, and as soon as I lay down on the ground, I fell asleep.
Shu'er was urged by the previous girl to say hello to the old lady and her wife, so she changed her clothes, combed her hair and followed the girl to the old lady's house.
The old lady looked to be in her early forties, which made Wang Jingshu stunned for a moment, you must know that this Zheng Shilang is thirty-five years old, how can he have such a young mother. After thinking about it, the current Mrs. Zheng is the steproom, maybe this old lady is also the steproom.
But after this invitation, listening to the words of this old lady, it turned out that she was Zheng Shilang's mother-in-law, the biological mother of this stepwife, that is, the aunt of the Cheng family, who was not favored.
was not favored in the Cheng family, but now she has borrowed her daughter's light and come to the Zheng family to be an old lady. The little family spirit in his bones, years of forbearance, once he got his ambition, his face was full of meanness. The body that suddenly became blessed made her very satisfied, and she was full of jewelry, but she was stingy and mean when she gave her step-granddaughter-in-law a gift.
It was a silver gilt bracelet, and it didn't have much weight, so she also helped to make a gesture and said: "This capital is not as good as Guanzhong, you come out of such a small place, you can't be blinded by the prosperity of the capital, don't go out less, don't let people say that this Zheng family idiot married a person who can't see the world." ”
Shu'er couldn't hear anyone call Brother Ping an idiot, so she lowered her eyes and said: "Shu'er doesn't know which idiot her grandmother said, Shu'er married Brother Ping'er as his wife, it must be for Brother Ping'er's sake, so don't let people deceive him." ”
As if she had heard a big joke, the old lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said to the mother-in-law next to her while laughing: "I'm afraid I have to eat two more bowls of this meal today, and I encountered such a funny thing in the morning, this idiot has married a good daughter-in-law." The woman also laughed with her, and the people who didn't know outside listened to the laughter, and thought what a happy scene, what a loving old man.
Mrs. Zheng was still pregnant, and she was surrounded by her own children, and she didn't want to see Wang Jingshu very much, so she drank her tea with Zheng Shilang. It's not good to be too stingy in front of Zheng Shilang, and this mother-in-law's meeting gift is quite presentable.
It was a handful of turquoise jade ruyi, and Shu'er thanked her and was sent away.
At lunchtime, no one brought the food, and the girl did not go to pick it up, but went to the kitchen to eat them. The girl next to Shu'er also went to eat like this, but there were only two masters in this courtyard, but no one sent food.
Xiyan and Xiwen came back and said: "Miss, the kitchen said that there has always been no rule for sending food to the master in this courtyard, and the kitchen can't be the master, so you have to ask the lady to do it." ”
At this time, Brother Ping also woke up, got up and ran outside, Shu'er didn't care about talking to the girl, and then chased after him and pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother Ping, Shu'er will take you to eat something delicious." ”
She took his hand, took him to the outer courtyard, and went straight into Zheng Shilang's study, and the next person who followed him couldn't stop him from coming in, so he knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Zheng Shilang waved his subordinates away, looked at Shu'er with unhappy half-squinted eyes and said, "What are you bringing him here for, can you also come?" ”
Shu'er didn't answer him, but walked up to him, picked up the dim sum plate on his table and handed it to Brother Ping: "Brother Ping, if you don't give us food, we will eat dim sum, where will we eat dim." ”
Brother Ping was obviously very afraid of Zheng Shilang, so he hid behind Shu'er, Shu'er turned around and protected him and said, "Brother Ping, Shu'er will take you out to eat." ”
After that, she picked up the teapot on Zheng Shilang's table, held Brother Ping with one hand, and Brother Ping held a snack plate in his hand, and the two of them walked out of Zheng Shilang's study.
Under the eaves outside the study, Shu'er sat down next to Brother Ping, he ate snacks, and she gave him tea to drink.
When Brother Ping ate the third piece, he suddenly picked up a piece of dim sum and handed it to her mouth: "Eat, eat."
Shu'er smiled, took a bite of his hand, and then poured herself a sip of tea from the teapot he had drunk to his mouth.
Brother Ping put the plate on his lap, stuffed snacks into Shu'er's mouth with one hand, and stuffed it into his own mouth with the other.
After the two of them finished eating this plate of snacks, Shu'er put the teapot and saucer under the eaves, took Brother Ping'er's hand and walked back.
Zheng Shilang looked at the empty saucers and teapots placed on the stone floor, his mood was complicated, his face was dark, and when he looked up again, the two of them had already walked away and could not see the shadow.
This woman, she doesn't go to the lady's yard to make trouble, she doesn't go to the old lady's yard to make trouble, but she comes to his father-in-law's study, which shows that she is not reckless. If you go to those two places, I'm afraid that both of them will be beaten out, and the father who gave birth to him, Brother Ping, will not.
Not only would he not beat them out, but he also had to ask about the matter in Brother Ping'er's yard, why did the two of them have no food to eat, so they broke into his study to grab snacks, and didn't go back to eat, but sat under his roof and ate before leaving?
The empty snack saucer and the empty teapot were placed under his roof, and they were used to poke his heart.
