Chapter XXVI Methods
"When is it? The second and second daughter-in-law still want to play?" Mrs. Lin was in a hurry, and slapped the tea cup on the high table next to her, shaking the tea cup on the high table to jump, "Mama Liang, you wrote to the second daughter-in-law, saying that I was sick, and I was about to die, so let her hurry up and bring the second child back." ”
"Old lady, how can this be done? You're so alive, how can I curse you for no reason? "Mama Liang didn't dare to write, she had followed the Lin family for decades, and she had never seen the Lin family so angry, thinking that the eldest master must have written something in the letter, which stimulated the Lin family for a while.
"Mama Liang, if I ask you to write it, you can write it, where is there so much nonsense?" As soon as Lin finished saying the last sentence, the next sentence followed, "What is the eldest daughter-in-law doing these days?" Do you have any news?"
"The eldest lady has been living in Black Mountain Villa these days, according to the report from the spies of Black Mountain Villa, the eldest lady went at the beginning of the month and has been living for more than half a month." Mama Liang didn't dare to look at Lin's eyes, and lowered her head.
"Compared with the boss, the eldest daughter-in-law is calm, and she is worthy of being the daughter of Lu Liangyang's family, but it is different from other people's families. You also wrote a letter to her, saying that I had called the second family to come back, and asked her to come back quickly, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and the two of them would just make trouble at home, if it spread, where would my Gu family's face go?" Lin seemed to be in a hurry, and coughed a few times in a row.
"The third girl, do you want someone to tell her, so that she can be mentally prepared." Mama Liang handed over a cup of tea and asked.
"Yang asked me to bring Tang'er to Pengpu, just because I don't want Tang'er to know about the troubles of her and the boss, and you still have to tell her? You, you, you, have been following me for years, and you have become more and more old and confused. Lin drank the tea handed by Mama Liang and said slowly.
"Yes, yes, why didn't the slave think of that? The third girl, who is only seven or eight years old, knows these troubles of her parents, and she may cry urgently. The old lady can rest assured, the slave will not let the third girl know. After Mama Liang finished speaking, she went down to write the letter that Lin had instructed to write.
At noon, when the Lin family had just had lunch and was talking with Feng Lao'an in the hall, Gu Yutang came over with Jiang Zhiming. Feng Lao'an changed his usual today, wearing a royal blue Ruanhua Lake silk gown, and a jasper inlaid red gold hairpin, which was very dazzling in the crowd.
Lin's makeup and costumes today are very plain, and they have not pressed or covered anyone. She saw that Gu Yutang had been sitting under the hall wringing his handkerchief today, his eyes were dark around him, and the whole person was listless, as if he hadn't slept well last night. asked someone to hand over a cup of tea, and Gu Yutang raised his head.
"Tang'er, didn't you sleep well last night? Why is the whole person listless. Lin asked with concern.
Before Gu Yutang could reply, Ah Hua, who was standing next to Gu Yutang, quickly said, "Old lady, you have to let someone catch a cat!" Last night, Miss slept until midnight, and suddenly a mouse fell from the roof and fell onto Miss's couch, which woke her up in one fell swoop. After the young lady was frightened, she never fell asleep, and when she got up in the morning, she squinted casually and came. ”
"How so? Where did the rats come from?" Feng Lao'an hurriedly called the steward who helped Gu Yutang prepare the room and asked.
The housekeeper who helped Gu Yutang prepare the room was Steward Du in the second room, and the son of the second room had lived in the second room for decades. I had never heard anything about rats, so I asked Gu Yutang: "Third girl, did you fall asleep after eating a snack last night?" In our house, there are a few rats in the kitchen, and all the rats in other places have been caught by the night cats, and it must be that the three girls' snacks are not tightly closed, which attracts rats. ”
"Yes, the girl did eat last night before she went to sleep." Ah Hua couldn't stand still, afraid that Mrs. Lin would punish herself because she knew that she secretly gave Gu Yutang a snack.
"In that case, I will wait and tell you to go down and let someone carry a cat to the courtyard of the third girl. It's just that this spring is coming, and it's common for cats to call spring, so don't be scared by the three girls. After Steward Du answered, Feng Lao'an ordered him to go down and do things.
At this time, Mrs. Lin suddenly said sharply to Ah Hua: "Didn't I tell you not to give the girl food at night?" You also gave her so many snacks, fortunately you only attracted a mouse last night, if you attract a group of rats and bite the three girls, what can you do?"
This time, Gu Yutang preempted Ah Hua, "Grandmother, I couldn't control my mouth and didn't clean up the food box, so I attracted the rats." Don't blame Ah Hua for this matter, blame Tang'er, if the grandmother wants to punish her, she will punish Tang'er alone. With that, Gu Yutang knelt down.
After seeing Gu Yutang kneeling down, Ah Hua also hurriedly knelt down.
"It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of Miss, so that Miss was worried and afraid, if the old lady wants to be punished, punish Ahua!" As soon as the words fell, Ah Hua protected Gu Yutang's front.
Old Mrs. Lin saw that Gu Yutang and Ah Hua both knelt down, and laughed secretly in her heart, these two stupid children are really masters and servants! How could she bear to be punished?
"Old sister, don't blame Sister Tang and her girl, you should blame me, the food box is still given to Sister Tang, if the old sister wants to be punished, the culprit should be me." Feng Lao'an sat next to her and whispered.
This Feng is also like a child, where did she say that she would be punished. But since Feng Shi found her a staircase, then she should go down the stairs given by Feng Shi!
"Second brother and sister, how can I blame you? You also feel sorry for Sister Tang, I always detain her at home and don't let her eat more. That's why she eats so many snacks behind my back. Since Grandmother Feng interceded for you this time, then I will let you go this time, and if there is a next time, I will definitely punish you severely! Mrs. Lin said, poured a cup of tea herself, and handed it to Feng Lao'an.
Since the Lin family did not punish them, Ah Hua hurriedly helped Gu Yutang to stand up and patted the ash on Gu Yutang's knees.
At this time, Jiang Zhiming suddenly walked in from outside, saw Gu Yutang's embarrassed appearance, couldn't help but feel curious, and asked, "Are you rolling on the ground?" It's so gray?"
Gu Yutang ignored him, Jiang Zhiming said to Feng Lao'an: "Second grandma, in a few days it will be the grape festival in the township, and then the Famen Temple on Changxin Street will hold a temple fair, can the second grandma want to go out and have a look?"
Feng Lao'an glanced at Jiang Zhiming, then at Gu Yutang, and saw that the two of them seemed to be enemies, and smiled and said, "People are old and can't walk." After a few days, Brother Sheng will come back from his grandfather's house, and you will take Sister Tang and Brother Sheng to go out to have a good look, the temple fair in the township is rarely held once, and there are merchants from Java to set up stalls, so you can take Sister Tang to have a good time. ”
As soon as Feng Lao'an's words fell, Jiang Zhiming and Gu Yutang each glanced at each other, snorted coldly and left.
Looking at the backs of the two villains walking out, Feng Lao'an took Lin's hand and said, "Old sister, take a closer look at these two little guys, how worthy they are!" We'll have to find a way to make them a pair. ”
The Lin family didn't answer her, thinking about the Yang family and Gu Liming in her mind.
