Chapter 138: The Eve of Childbirth (1)
Cai's is the head of the second room, the sixth wife of the Gu family, and she and Xiao Tan's have been friends for many years, they have known each other so much, and they both know each other's temperament. Although she has soft ears and is a person who can't make up her mind, she is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.
Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention that she is not a rabbit either. If Xiao Tan's continued to be aggressive and didn't leave half of the affection between friends, she directly called the maid who was waiting outside to take her out, who would stand here and continue to shout for her?
It's just that the Cai family is unwilling to have a bad relationship with the Cheng family for this little thing, and the two families have lost face. And the old lady of the family is a good person who is praised by all the towns, and she is familiar with her old lady, if she really asks someone to take the little Tan family out, to put it mildly, it will not give face to the old lady and the family; To put it more broadly, it is the Gu family bullying people and bullying an official wife.
Cai thought for a moment, and finally walked to Xiao Tan's side, and said with a smile: "Sister Tan, what are you talking about?" How can our sisterhood for many years be broken by words? However, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I really lacked skills, and if I was free in the future, I would definitely invite the Tan family sister and the Zuo family sister to come to the house to be lively. ”
Cai's deliberately didn't mention going to Fahua Temple with Xiao Tan to make incense, just to open the topic, ease the current scene, and make everyone get by on face.
Seeing Cai's words, Feng Lao'an looked at Xiao Tan's mother-in-law and the old lady of the family, and also persuaded him, "Mrs. Tan, there have been a lot of things in the house in the past two days, and the sixth daughter-in-law has to be busy with the things of my family's Qi girl on the one hand, and on the other hand, she has to prepare things for the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is really impossible to draw." If Mrs. Tan is willing, we can go with us when we return to Chengjiang next month. ”
When Xiao Tan heard this, he secretly said in his heart: Feng Lao'an has personally apologized, if he is not interesting, then it is a little too much.
Xiao Tan smiled a little before he said, "Since Mrs. Cai and Feng Lao'an can't come out in the past two days, then I won't be able to disturb it." After Mrs. Qi gave birth to Lin'er safely, on the day of the third ceremony, Mrs. Cai and Feng Lao'an, don't forget to hand me a post, and I will come over and be lively with you. ”
As soon as Xiao Tan's words fell, Cai's glanced at the maid who was waiting for Xiao Tan's side, and the maid got Cai's signal, and immediately helped Xiao Tan's out of the door.
After Cai looked at Xiao Tan's out, he felt a little relieved, and ordered Bijuan who was standing next to him, "Bijuan, you go out to send off Mrs. Tan's family, remember to send her out of the mansion with all your mustaches, don't let her hurt somewhere, if she hurts her head in our mansion, I'm afraid that I will find a conversation and tell others that our Gu family has lost its manners, and we have issued an eviction order to drive her out!" ”
Bijuan frowned and asked, "Big lady, Mrs. Tan shouldn't be such a person, right?" Wouldn't she even lose face if she did this?"
"Bijuan, then look at the words she just said in the house, did any of them ask for face? It's hard to guarantee that she won't hurt herself, and then go outside, saying that the maid who served in our house injured her and trapped us in an unrighteous place. Cai's was a little worried about Bijuan, and told Bijuan again.
Bijuan got the order and quickly went out of the house.
After watching Xiao Tan's completely walk away, Feng Lao'an finally asked the wife of the Lu family to come out of the inner room, and ordered the little maid to make a pot of Liu'an melon slices.
Feng Lao'an personally poured a cup and handed it to Mrs. Lu, and said with a kind smile: "You were frightened, right?" Mrs. Tan is that kind of person, don't take what she said, don't take it to heart. She was used to being wronged under the old lady of the family, and she could only act outside her majesty. ”
Mrs. Lu picked up the tea handed to her by Feng Lao'an, took half a sip of it, and said with a smile: "If she hadn't specially asked Mrs. Zuo to invite me this time, I wouldn't have come with her." It frightened the old lady, and she had to come out to deal with the aftermath, Shufen was really grateful. ”
As Feng Lao'an was talking, the little maid who already had eyes came out of the pantry with two plates of dim sum, a plate of mung bean cake and a plate of red bean cake. Feng Lao'an picked up a piece of mung bean cake from the small plate and handed it to Mrs. Lu, "Lady of the Huang family, don't mention anything thank you or not, you finally came back from Shaoxing, and as soon as you came back, you came to see my wife, it can be seen that I am worried about me in my heart, I should thank you." ”
Mrs. Lu put down the mung bean cake in her hand, saluted Feng Lao'an, and said, "I was going to have a good talk with Mrs. Feng today, but I didn't know that I was disturbed by the Tan family." If Old Madam Feng is free, come and sit at our Huang family. Before I came, my mother was talking about meeting the old lady so that she could talk to you. ”
"Don't be so polite, the eldest girl of the Huang family, I grew up watching you, your old lady and I have known each other for many years, she has been sick for all these years, and I haven't been able to take a look. When I am free, I should bring a few children to visit, and accompany your old lady to talk for a while. As soon as Feng Lao'an's words fell, a little maid hurriedly rushed in.
The little maid was in a hurry, and before she had time to take a few breaths, she said: "Old lady, Uncle Cheng is back, and now he is arguing with Mrs. Qi in the back room, Sister Zijuan was going to serve Mrs. Qi to drink fetal pills, but who knew that she was driven out by Uncle Cheng." Sister Zijuan saw that the situation in the house was not right, so she hurriedly asked me to report to you, saying that she asked you to go over and persuade you. ”
Before Old Madam Feng could come out of the little maid's words, Cai Shi said first: "When did Uncle Cheng come back?" Why didn't you hear the porter come to report?"
The little maid gasped several times in a row, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Cheng came back from the back door, and he didn't go through the front door, so the little guy who was waiting in the porter didn't know." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the little maid seemed to remember that there was something important that she hadn't said, and continued: "Old lady, eldest lady, Mrs. You also came back with Uncle Cheng, and now she is sitting in the back room." ”
Hearing the little maid mention the You family, Feng Lao'an's heart suddenly shook, and he immediately walked out of the words that the little maid had just said, and asked, "Why did the You family come over?" Didn't I hear that she was sick and was at home with her body? Why do you still have the leisure to run to Punpu to take care of this business?"
The little maid didn't know, so she had to tell the truth, and repeated what Miss Zijuan said to her to Feng Lao'an.
"Old lady, Mrs. You said that Mrs. Qi was not pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Feng family, and then she wanted to kill the child in Mrs. Qi's belly. called Uncle Cheng to persuade Mrs. Qi, but Mrs. Qi refused? The three of them froze in the room. “
The little maid took a breath and said, "When the slave maid came, Mrs. You had already instructed the little maid to boil the medicine, saying that she was going to kill the child in Mrs. Qi's belly. ”
"That woman of the You family, what does she want to do? The child in Xiao Qi's belly is clearly the child of our Feng family, and Xiao Qi is about to give birth, that child must not be defeated! I'll have to go over and take a look! Feng Lao'an muttered, and was already supported by the little maid to the door of the house.
Cai's little maid also heard from the little maid's words that the matter was urgent, so her mother-in-law had already left first, regardless of the fact that there were still guests in the house. So she could only leave her to deal with Mrs. Lu, and instructed the little maid to invite Mrs. Lu to the inner room, and then said: "Mrs. Lu, something happened at home, if Mrs. Lu doesn't mind, you can have dinner in the house before leaving." In the past few days, there is a new Sichuan chef in the house, who will cook a few Sichuan dishes, and stay at night to try them! ”
Mrs. Lu is not such an uninteresting person, she also knows that something happened to the Gu family, and the host's family is not good enough to entertain her, so she said: "If Mrs. Cai has something to be busy with, go down and get busy first!" There's a little girl here to greet me! ”
Since the wife of the Lu family said so, the Cai family took a few little maids who were waiting in the room and went to the back room, leaving only three or two little maids to greet Mrs. Lu in the house.
