Chapter 137: A Visitor's Visit (Part II)
"Mother, I really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, as soon as we mentioned the eldest girl of the Huang family, she came over. It's just that Xiao Tan's family also came over, I wonder if my mother would like to see them?" Although Cai is the wife in charge of the second room, but now that Feng Lao'an is in the house, she doesn't dare to give orders to those little maids beyond Feng Lao'an, so she simply asked Feng Lao'an what he meant first.
"Since they're all here, let them all be invited! If only the eldest girl of the Huang family is invited to come in, and the little Tan family is not allowed to come in, and it is passed out, then our Gu family has lost its manners, and she is still the wife of the Dian Shi, and our family will always give the Dian Shi a little bit of thin noodles. As soon as Feng Lao'an's words fell, the little maid in the house, who was already organic, invited Mrs. Lu and Xiao Tan in.
Because the eldest girl of the Huang family is a married daughter, the servants generally call her the wife of the Lu family, and only Feng Laoan and Cai's few people who have been familiar with the eldest girl of the Huang family since childhood, can still affectionately call the eldest girl of the Huang family.
Because it was a newcomer, it was not good to collide with the master's house, Mrs. Lu wore a water-patterned lotus gown woven with cloud brocade, and a circle of pearl rice grains fell from the corner of the skirt, combed a very simple bun, sparse hair ornaments on the hair, a jade tasseled hairpin, and a string of crystal clear glass beads fell on it.
Mrs. Lu wore two heavy jade bracelets on her hands, which looked full of water.
Compared with Mrs. Lu, Xiao Tan's dress this time is more complicated.
A moonlight white Hangzhou silk jacket, embroidered with pomegranate flowers and grapes, the hairpin worn on the bun is also a few grape golden hairpins, and the hand also wears a gold bracelet with auspicious patterns.
Mrs. Lu and Xiao Tan successively saluted Feng Lao'an, and Mrs. Lu said first: "Lao Anren, I have been married for so many years, but I didn't think that you have changed at all, but you are getting younger and younger." Are you alright? Do you have any medicine?"
Hearing what Mrs. Lu said, Feng Lao'an was happy in his heart, patted Mrs. Lu's hand, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu, don't praise my wife, they are all seventy or eighty people, even if they are young, they are not as good as you young people." I've always been in good health, and I haven't taken any medicine. ”
Feng Lao'an thought that Mrs. Lu was going to ask for medicine for their old lady, so she asked again, "Is your old lady sick?" You asked me for medicine?"
Mrs. Lu waved her hand and said in a continuous voice: "Mother-in-law of the Feng family, it's not that my mother-in-law is sick, but my mother is sick, and she has been sick for so many years, and she has been raised on the couch, and she never gets better." Seeing that the Feng family's mother-in-law's spirit was still so good, I thought about asking the Feng family's mother-in-law what medicine she usually takes, and we can also follow the Feng family's mother-in-law's prescription and buy some back. ”
After listening to Mrs. Lu's words for a long time, Feng Laoan understood. It turned out that Mrs. Lu looked at her spirit and thought that she had taken some kind of medicine, so she asked specially. It is a medicine that is poisonous, and unless she is sick and has to do so, she will not take any medicine for no reason.
However, when she thought of Mrs. Lu's biological mother, Mrs. Huang, who had been sick for so many years, she asked with a little concern, "What?" Mrs. Huang has been sick for so many years, and she still doesn't get better? ”
Mrs. Lu sighed and replied: "It was going to be good, but I went out at the beginning of the month to blow the wind and got cold, so I'm afraid it will be bad again." ”
At this time, Xiao Tan, who had been silent in the house, suddenly said: "Feng Lao'an, sister of the Huang family, on August 15, it is the day when the Guanyin Hall of Fahua Temple outside the city is opened. Guanyin Bodhisattva is a great mercy, saving the suffering, if the sister of the Huang family goes that day, you can ask the Bodhisattva to bless Mrs. Huang's illness to heal as soon as possible. ”
Feng Lao'an didn't speak, so he didn't want to disturb the others, picked up a cup of tea placed on the high table next to him, and drank half a sip gently.
Seeing that Mrs. Lu was silent, Xiao Tan said again: "I heard that the Minghua Building of Fahua Temple is the best place to admire the moon in our Pengpu Township, and the moon cakes made by Fahua Temple itself are also well-known." Not only did we go that day, but many big families in the city also went, so let's go and join in the fun! ”
"Sister Tan family, on the night of August 15, there were many people in Fahua Temple, I am afraid that it will be easy for us to go up the mountain, but it will be difficult to go down the mountain. And there are two stinky boys in my house, put the two of them in the house, I am really a little worried, this is lively, I will not accompany a few sisters to make up. Mrs. Lu thought for a long time, and then refused Xiao Tan's request.
Xiao Tan didn't expect Mrs. Lu to refuse her, and then moved her gaze to Cai's body and asked, "Mrs. Cai, you rejected my invitation last time, and you can't refuse again this time." Among our sisters, you have the most leisure time, and on the night of August 15, you can't put it off any longer. ”
If Gu Lihua hadn't come back yet, she naturally couldn't find a better excuse to turn away Xiao Tan's invitation, but now that Gu Lihua is back, she said that she wants to accompany her husband at home, what else can she Xiao Tan say?
Could it be that she can still destroy the relationship between husband and wife?
Just as Cai's was about to reply, Feng Lao'an had already taken the lead and said: "Mrs. Tan, you also know, my family's Qi girl is about to give birth, and the sixth daughter-in-law not only has to take care of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the house, but also has to take care of my family's Qi girl's delivery, and the day of my family's Qi girl's childbirth is around August 15, I'm afraid it will delay you to go to Fahua Temple to make incense." ”
As soon as Feng Lao'an said this, Xiao Tan was choked at once, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he stood in place and was stunned for a long time.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mrs. Lu was busy coming out to play a round, "Actually, if you go to Fahua Temple to burn incense, you can go at any time." Burning incense to the Bodhisattva is important in sincerity, not in choosing a good day. If you are not sincere, you choose a good day to burn incense, the Bodhisattva can't feel half of your sincerity, and it is useless for you to go, it is better to stay at home honestly and teach your husband and children. ”
Mrs. Lu came out to play a round for Xiao Tan's on the surface, but openly and secretly, she was ridiculing her everywhere. If she hadn't invited Mrs. Zuo to come over to visit her in person this time, and invited her to come with Feng Lao'an to greet her, she gave Mrs. Zuo a face, and then agreed to accompany Xiao Tan's family.
Who knows how she was polite, as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked others to accompany her to go all the way to Fahua Temple outside the city to offer incense during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a day for a family reunion, who would have the leisure to accompany her to the mountains to incense?
She's not bored with herself, what else could it be? It's also Feng Lao'an and Cai's temper is better, if they change their mother-in-law, and meet someone who doesn't know how to be polite, they will immediately call someone out! Who cares if you're a housekeeper or a family daughter?
When Xiao Tan heard this, he raised his head and glanced at the wife of the Lu family, and said, "Huang Shufen, don't you look at what your identity is?" It's just the daughter of a small wine seller, do you think that if you marry the Lu family in Shaoxing, you can be superior? Let me tell you, if it weren't for my eyes on your husband's face, I would have invited you to come and greet Feng Lao'an! Who knew you were so uninteresting! ”
Xiao Tan said, and there was already a girl in front of him who was guarding in front of him.
When Mrs. Lu heard Xiao Tan's words, she didn't take it to heart, but said: "Sister Tan family, now that we are in the Gu Mansion, if you have anything to be dissatisfied with me, after you leave the Gu Mansion, you can tell me again, you are noisy in front of Feng Lao'an, what kind of ability are you?"
Cai Shi saw that the situation in front of him was getting worse and worse, and hurriedly called the little maid to invite Mrs. Lu to the inner room, and after apologizing, he went out of the inner room again, and glanced at the few little maids who were waiting in the house, ready to let them invite Xiao Tan out.
"Mrs. Tan, do you want me to send you out in person, or do I ask a few little maids to invite you out? If I call the little maid and ask you to go out, I'm afraid that your face will not be able to hang up, so please go out by yourself! Cai said, two little maids had already come to Xiao Tan's side, ready to invite her out.
Xiao Tan looked around the room, snorted coldly, and left a sentence, "Mrs. Cai, you asked the little maid to invite me out, I'm afraid that our sisters for so many years won't be able to do it?"
