Chapter 302: Nosy
Because the Lin family was still in the house, the maid didn't dare to take the initiative to reply to Gu Yutang's words, glanced in the direction of the Lin family, and saw that the Lin family didn't show anything unusual, so she moved her gaze back, looked at Gu Yutang in front of her, and replied.
"Girl, since Aunt Hong was angry with Mrs. Feng, after we left, Mrs. Feng withdrew from the maid who was waiting in the house, and she was crooked on the soft couch on the side by herself, crying for a while. After a long time, Miss Chunyan, who was waiting for Old Madam Feng, found out and hurriedly ordered the girl to invite the Qi family over. ”
As she spoke, the little maid suddenly stopped and glanced at Lin again.
She was originally a maid serving by Lin's side, and was one of several maids brought down by Lin's from Chengjiang, because Feng Lao'an praised her for being clever a few days ago, and wanted to serve this maid by his side, so Lin took the opportunity to install this maid next to Feng Lao'an, so that he could always know the situation in the back room.
Although Gu Yutang is the granddaughter of Mrs. Lin, she is not the serious master of the maid. The Lin family is her serious master, and when she explained to Gu Yutang that she had just passed, she was beating a drum in her heart, for fear that the Lin family would listen to a sentence that she didn't like and punish her on the spot.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual on Lin's face, she dared to continue.
"Third girl, after the Qi family went to see the old lady Feng, they talked to the old lady Feng in the inner room for a while, and after a while, the Qi family called someone to spread the word, saying that they wanted to invite the old lady to come over, so as to persuade the old lady Feng and give her ideas."
Before Lin could speak, Mama Liang, who was waiting beside Lin, suddenly complained.
"I invite the old lady to come over every day to give me ideas, but there is no loyal person around the old lady Feng? Is our old lady the kind of person who goes with the word? ”
Mama Liang complained about this, and immediately interrupted the maid who was talking, and forcibly blocked back what she wanted to say next.
The maid's words behind me were to say that Old Madam Feng didn't explicitly let the old lady pass, so this matter was the Qi family's idea, after all, the Qi family was an outsider, so there was no need to pay attention to her.
Lin also heard Mama Liang's complaints, and felt that she was right, every time something big or small happened to her second brother and sister, she had to call her over and discuss it together.
It's just that I don't know what's going on this time, I didn't personally call Chunyan, who was serving her, to come and invite her, but called the maid next to me to come over and report the news, so it was obvious that this matter was the idea of the Qi family.
Since this matter was Qi's idea, she didn't have to go over in person, just call a little maid to go over and take a look.
Thinking like this in his heart, Lin said to Mama Liang who was waiting beside him.
"Chunping, since Old Madam Feng called the maid to invite me over, I am tired, and I will rest for a while, so you can go over and take a look for me! If my second brother and sister are missing or broken, there is no need to report it to me, and tell the steward who is waiting in the house to go down and buy it! ”
Mama Liang got Lin's order and was about to push the door out, but Gu Yutang stopped her.
"Grandmother, Tang'er wants to go and see Grandmother Feng, so let Mama Liang take me over!" Gu Yutang looked at the Lin family in front of him and asked slowly.
"No! I won't let you go! Sister Tang, we're about to leave for home, so don't make any extraneous branches. You're the girl in our long room, and my grandmother doesn't want you to get involved in all this mess in the second room!
In these days of departure, you just stay in your own room honestly, even if you don't embroider and paint, just pick a few scripts, pass the time, and don't go out. As soon as Lin finished speaking, he instructed Ah Hua and Da Han, who were standing behind Gu Yutang.
"Ah Hua, Da Han, you are all serving by the girl's side, there are a lot of bad things in the second room these days, you two must take care of your girl, if you let your girl out, there will be a conflict between her and Aunt Hong, and the long house will be involved in these bad things.
Even if you two are killed, it will not be enough to compensate! Lin's words were extremely harsh, and Ah Hua and Da Han, who were listening to the orders, were frightened and stunned.
Fortunately, Ah Hua already had an idea in his heart, and immediately replied: "Old lady, the slaves and maids know. The slaves and maids will definitely remember the old lady's instructions, take care of the girl, and do not let the girl go out. ”
Lin Shi looked at Gu Yutang staring at her tightly, and knew that Sister Tang must be dissatisfied with such a move in her heart, but she had to do it for the sake of Sister Tang'er's good.
Looking at Ah Hua and Da Han who were kneeling on the ground, Lin simply felt a little more and gave a few more instructions.
"Ah Hua, Da Han, both of you are served by the girl. Why is it about to return home! In these days, you two must take good care of the girl, and do not let the girl be subject to the calculations of others.
What's more, after returning to Chengjiang, the two of you have to protect the girl, and there are many more cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the house than in these two rooms. ”
After Lin finished speaking, he waved his hand at Ah Hua and Da Han, and motioned for Ah Hua and Da Han to take Gu Yutang out of the hall.
Although Gu Yutang was reluctant, her grandmother had already instructed Ah Hua and Da Han so much in front of her, if she didn't obey, Da Han and Ah Hua would definitely be implicated by herself. When the time comes, the grandmother will blame her, and it will be Da Han and Ah Hua who will be punished.
After Ah Hua took Gu Yutang out of the hall, he took Gu Yutang to a secluded rockery pavilion.
Throwing off the maid who followed behind him, and going around a few more corridors, Ah Hua finally took Gu Yutang to the secluded rockery pavilion, and told Da Han to go to the rockery to control the wind, and Ah Hua explained it to Gu Yutang.
"Girl, the slave maid did not betray you, but these things were ordered by the old lady in front of you, if the slaves and maids did not agree, I am afraid that the old lady will lose face! What's more, the reason why the old lady told us to look at the girl like this is also for the sake of the girl! ”
Because on the gazebo, there are rockeries all around, and if you speak loudly, there will inevitably be an echo, so Ah Hua is extremely cautious when he speaks.
Even if Ah Hua didn't explain these things to her, Gu Yutang knew that they had to agree.
How could these little maids, especially those who served themselves, not agree to what their grandmother ordered?
Even if it is for the sake of himself, he should not be ordered by his grandmother, and if his grandmother blames them afterwards, he will not spare them.
"Ah Hua, I don't blame you, you are all serving by my side, where am I willing to let my grandmother punish you? When my grandmother punished you in public, she slapped me in the face, and I thought my grandmother wouldn't make me lose face in public, right?" Gu Yutang said and looked around cautiously.
Now the whole house is full of people placed by Aunt Hong, and there are maids placed by her on this side of the corridor, if those maids listen to a sentence and a half, it will reach Aunt Hong's ears, and let Aunt Hong get her.
Hearing Gu Yutang say this, she knew that the girl should not blame them in her heart, and she should follow the old lady's orders. The girl pretended to be them in her heart, and naturally she didn't want the two of them to be punished by the old lady.
It's just that in recent days, there have been too many bad things in the second room, and Aunt Hong took the opportunity to gain momentum again, and the girl took the face of Aunt Hong on the spot in front of the two old ladies, thinking that in the future, Aunt Hong would not let go of the girl easily.
The girl often acted for Mrs. Feng and did things that contradicted Aunt Hong. It is not unreasonable for the old lady to let the two of them watch the girl. Therefore, since Ah Hua responded to the old lady's orders, he had to persuade the girl again.
"Girl, Old Madam Feng treats the girl well, just like her own granddaughter. But no matter how well Mrs. Feng treats the girl, she is not the girl's grandmother, Mrs. Lin is the girl's grandmother, and Mrs. Lin is often anxious for the girl's sake for these things.
The girl should also think about the old lady, don't go out these days, and stay in the house honestly. Seeing that Gu Yutang looked unwilling to listen to her, Gu Yutang continued to speak.
Before Ah Hua finished speaking, Gu Yutang raised his eyes and glanced at Ah Hua coldly.
"Ah Hua, when did even you follow your grandmother to persuade me? I know what I'm doing now, so you don't have to think about me. Grandmother Feng treated me well, and now that Aunt Hong has contradicted her old man several times, how can I stand idly by?"
Seeing that his girl looked unpersuaded, Ah Hua knew that he couldn't persuade her. Even Mrs. Lin couldn't persuade the girl, just by her, could she make the girl listen to her?
Ah Hua secretly sighed a few times in his heart, and finally said.
"Girl, just listen to Ah Hua's advice! Don't get involved in these bad things in the second room anymore, I heard that Dingwu Hou's wife Tao has sent a maid to the house to discuss the girl's marriage with the eldest lady, the girl is still honestly staying in the house these days, waiting for the eldest lady to call someone down to take us back! ”
Gu Yutang wanted to say something more, but when she heard Ah Hua say that Mrs. Dingwuhou had sent a maid to the mansion to discuss her marriage with her mother, she still stopped and didn't continue to speak.
Her marriage and the trivial matters of her father and mother have not been completely resolved, and she is involved in the trivial matters of the second room, is it a bit nosy?
She is indeed nosy, after all, these things have nothing to do with her, but Feng Lao'an treats her so well, and she is no different from her granddaughter, is it difficult for her to watch Mrs. Feng being bullied by Aunt Hong?
After a long time, Gu Yutang finally figured it out. The matter of the second room has her own sixth uncle, and she is a junior, so she really shouldn't be involved in these disputes among the elders again and again.
Standing up and looking in the direction of the back room, Gu Yutang took a deep breath, exhaled a long breath, and said to Ah Hua beside him: "Ah Hua, let's go!" Go back to the East Chamber! ”
Hearing that his girl was going back to the East Chamber, Ah Hua immediately burst into laughter, shouted the wind in front of the rockery, and sent Gu Yutang back.
After Ah Hua sent Gu Yutang back to the East Chamber, he went to the West Chamber. As soon as Gu Yutang was finished serving and freshening up, the stone in the west chamber called a maid over and called Ah Hua over.
The round table of sour branches and wood was full of dim sum, including almond crisp, oil cakes and sugar and oil fruits, all of which Ah Hua likes to eat.
Ah Hua sat on the embroidery stool that had been set up, and the stone carried a silver handle pot, and walked in from the pantry, and saw that Ah Hua had already made a big mouth about the dim sum on the table, and the stone smiled, poured out the tea that had been brewed in the beam pot, and placed it next to the dim sum.
"Look at you like a hungry old ghost, haven't you eaten any of these things in a few days? Didn't your girl get those snacks from Mrs. Lin, and she didn't give you a few pieces?"
As he spoke, Shi pushed those delicate snacks in front of Ah Hua with his hand.
Ah Hua devoured a few pieces of almond crisp and drank a few cups of tea, and then gradually slowed down the pace of eating.
After drinking another cup of tea that Shi had poured for her himself, she freed her mouth and said.
"Stone, our girl is not in a good mood these days, and the old lady saw that our girl was not in a good mood, so she didn't let people send snacks to our yard for three days or two. To be honest with you, I haven't eaten such a delicious snack for several days, and I have long wanted to eat it. ”
It didn't take much effort, and the dim sum on the table had already been half solved by Ah Hua, and the stone sat aside and watched it with his own eyes, dumbfounded.
"You eat slowly, no one will rob you! What's the difference between your way of eating and those hungry old ghosts who are reincarnated?" The stone continued to persuade Ah Hua, but Ah Hua didn't listen to a word, and still used the snacks on the table as he should.
Seeing that Ah Hua had almost eliminated the dim sum on the table, Shi suddenly remembered that Ah Hua had just said that the girl of the Gu family was not in a good mood, and before his brother left, he ordered him to take care of the girl of the Gu family.
Now that the girl of the Gu family is in a bad mood, he still has to ask what happened.
"Ah Hua, you just said that your girl is not in a good mood, who made your girl angry? Isn't that you?"
"Stone, where do I have such a ability to provoke my girl to be unhappy, a few days ago my girl went to see Mrs. Feng, and saw that Mrs. Feng was bullied by Aunt Hong, so she wanted to help Mrs. Feng, who knew that my old lady would not be.
No matter what my girl says, my old lady just refuses, and since then, my girl has not been in a good mood. Ah Hua said, glancing at the stone beside him, and saw that the stone was staring at him tightly, as if he was looking at some strange creature.
"Stone, are you crazy? What are you doing staring at me all the time? It's the flowers or the silver on my face that make you look so fascinated! ”
As soon as the words fell, Ah Hua waved his hand at the stone that had been demented, wanting to see if he still had any reaction.
"You mean, the girl of the Gu family has been anxious about Old Madam Feng's affairs these days?" The stone ignored Fang Cai Ahua's left and right movements, and asked her such a sentence.
Ah Hua nodded, and said, 'Yes.' ’
"Why do you think your girl is so nosy? These things are obviously private matters of the Gu family's second room, and your girl came to intervene, wasn't she hated by Aunt Hong? I am the subordinate who served in the house, and the sixth master has already agreed with Aunt Hong, and as soon as Mrs. Cai's mulberry period passes, the sixth master will promote Aunt Hong to be the eldest wife in charge.
Although your girl has returned to Chengjiang at that time, after all, the second room and the long room are the same surname and the same clan, and there will be things to ask for in the future, it is inevitable that Aunt Hong will remember the previous feud and bump into your girl?"
There is nothing wrong with Shi's concerns, but these concerns are also clear to her own girl, why is she still bent on going her own way?
Ah Hua really couldn't figure it out in her heart, but she also persuaded the girl to come, but if the girl didn't listen to the persuasion, she couldn't do anything.
"Stone, why don't you send these things back to the Hou Mansion, talk to the Jiang family's son, and let the Jiang family's son write a letter to persuade my girl. Those of us who are girls have persuaded my girl many times, but the girl doesn't listen to the persuasion, and we can't do anything. The girl pretended to be the son of the Jiang family in her heart, maybe she would listen to his advice? ”
With that, Ah Hua got up from the embroidery stool, took the stone hand and went to the study next door.
When Jiang Zhiming was still living in the West Chamber, Mrs. Feng set up a study for him alone.
Although Jiang Zhiming has been gone for many days, the furnishings in this study have not changed in the slightest. Ah Hua asked Shi Shi to sit in front of the bookcase, and was about to ask him to write a letter, and went back to tell the Jiang family's son-in-law about these things, and asked the Jiang family's son-in-law to persuade his own girl in the letter.
"Ah Hua, although your girl pretends to be my son-in-law in her heart, it's not what my son-in-law says, your girl listens. And the son is busy with the marriage of the eldest girl, so I'm afraid I won't have time to write to your girl. ”
Shi said this, but he had already written the letter to Jiang Zhiming in his hand, and in a few words, he summarized what had happened in Pengpu these days. Packed in an envelope, Ah Hua painted the letter.
"Whether my girl listens to your son-in-law or not, she always has to try. Is it possible to watch my girl make mistakes again and again?"
Ah Hua finished speaking, and glanced at the Western pendulum clock behind her, it was not too early, she should go back.
