Chapter 640: Buddha Beads
Old Madam Zhai pointed at Jiang Baoqing, trembling slightly because of anger: "You, you ......"
"Mother, Baoqing didn't mean it," Second Lady Wen raised her voice slightly, looking like she was in a hurry to play a round for Jiang Baoqing, "Don't be angry, your body has just gotten better these days, what if you get angry again?" ”
Saying that, Second Mrs. Wen looked at Jiang Baoqing with some disapproval, "You kid, you have a small heart, your grandmother just appropriated some ice in your yard, look at your temperament, what people say." ”
Mrs. Tang San accosted on the side: "I see, in the end, it comes from the countryside, and this upbringing is not even comparable to that of a small family." ”
Old Madam Zhai's eyes when she looked at Jiang Baoqing were simply full of disgust.
Chunqin stood behind Jiang Baoqing, and everyone looked at Jiang Baoqing's expression, she naturally saw it clearly. She hadn't experienced much of a big battle, and when she saw a room full of elders accusing their grandmother, they all looked stern, their legs were bent and weak, and they almost fell to their knees.
Fortunately, Miliu next to her reached out and held her up without a trace, so that she would not be embarrassed in front of everyone.
"Be mental, don't embarrass grandma." Mi Liu's tone was extremely light, and he said quickly.
Chunqin's heart sank, yes, her grandmother is in a difficult situation right now, and these maids can't help much, but at least they can't drag this back.
Facing the accusations of Old Madam Zhai, Second Mrs. Wen, and Third Mrs. Tang San, Jiang Baoqing frowned slightly.
She was born extremely beautiful, and she always smiled and groaned on weekdays, even when she didn't speak, she smiled, and then she suddenly frowned, like a spring breeze blowing a pool of green water, and her heart trembled.
Jiang Baoqing was about to speak, but he heard a report from the maid outside, saying that Mrs. Shang had come to greet Mrs. Zhai.
Old Madam Zhai snorted coldly: "It's diligent to come now!" ”
Second Lady Wen's eyes moved and lowered her eyes.
In the end, it is the widow of the eldest son, even if Mrs. Zhai no longer likes Mrs. Shang, it is not good to slap Mrs. Shang in the face in front of so many people.
Old Madam Zhai's tone was very bad, and she let Mrs. Shang in.
Mrs. Shang was dressed in homely clothes, as if she couldn't see the tension in this hall, and walked into the room with a smile. Mama Xing came in after Mrs. Shangda, holding a brocade box in her hand.
Mrs. Shang seemed to have just seen Jiang Baoqing and the others, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, you are also here." ”
Second Mrs. Wen covered the unwillingness that flashed in her eyes, and saluted Mrs. Shang with a smile: "Sister-in-law." ”
Even if she is now the lady Hou whom everyone respects, in this Hou mansion, she is still the "second lady" who is pressed by Shang's sister-in-law.
Mrs. Tang San followed behind and saluted, shouting "sister-in-law".
Mrs. Shang Da was a little indifferent to Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Tang San, and she couldn't see her joy or anger, so she nodded slightly.
Only when Jiang Baoqing curtsied and shouted "Mother" did Mrs. Shang show a little sincere pity, took Jiang Baoqing's hand, and said with great distress: "Baoqing, why are your eyes red?" Who is bullying you? ”
In fact, this is Mrs. Shangda's preconceived idea, and the atmosphere is really not good.
Jiang Baoqing replied in a low voice: "Mother doesn't have to worry, I'm fine." ”
Old Madam Zhai was very angry, and sat in the top chair and patted the arm of the chair heavily: "...... Everyone, look at what you're talking about! Your good daughter-in-law, the people of the house, where do you dare to bully her! Saying that, he was a little impatient, "It's so late, what are you saying hello!" ”
This was a bit yin and yang, Mrs. Shang smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes: "Mother, you are a little favoritism, in the evening, the second brother and sister and the third brother and sister all came to greet you, why can't I be the eldest daughter-in-law?" ”
Old Madam Zhai was panicked by Mrs. Shang's words, her face was gloomy, and she took a deep breath.
"Besides, my daughter-in-law didn't come empty-handed this time," Mrs. Shang motioned to Mama Xing to step forward and opened the brocade box that Mama Xing was holding in her hand, "This is a few days ago, my daughter-in-law heard that my mother was not feeling well, so I went to Master Zhi to ask for a string of Buddhist beads." This Buddha bead is the master of the knowledge of the light himself, wearing the body for 9981 days, the daughter-in-law invited back to the house, and recited the Buddhist scriptures for 7749 days, today just happened to be a gift, hurriedly sent to the mother. ”
Old Madam Zhai was stunned for a moment, the gloomy color on her face slowly faded, and she was a little happy: "Is it really Master Zhi's consecration and wearing?" ”
Mrs. Shang smiled slightly: "Where does the daughter-in-law dare to deceive her mother, this is indeed the master of the knowledge himself opened and worn for nine hundred and eighty-one days, I heard that such a Buddha bead contains the power of the Buddha, can bless the mother's body is blessed and healthy." ”
When I get older, I naturally believe in these gods and Buddhas, and I know that the master is a monk who often listens to him talk about the Buddha even the Queen Mother, and the Buddha beads that have been consecrated and worn by him are naturally extremely precious.
"Quick, show it to me." Mrs. Zhai seemed to forget Fang Cai's unhappiness, and with a little eagerness, she asked Mama Xing to hold the Buddha beads, and originally wanted to wear them directly on her wrists, but she was afraid that she would surprise the Buddha, so she decided to put the Buddha beads on tomorrow after burning incense and bathing.
In this way, the tense atmosphere in the hall of Fang Cai naturally disappeared a little.
Second Lady Wen's eyes were a little gloomy.
Mrs. Shang asked Jiang Baoqing with a smile: "Baoqing, what did you say?" ”
Mrs. Tang San was about to interject a few sarcastic words Jiang Baoqing almost made Old Madam Zhai angry, Jiang Baoqing didn't give her this opportunity, and her voice was crisp: "Mother, it's nothing, it's just a misunderstanding." The second lady did something wrong, which made the old lady unhappy. ”
Mrs. Tang San's eyes widened.
Isn't this "the wicked sue first"?!
Second Mrs. Wen was also laughed at, but her years of skill still allowed her to ask Jiang Baoqing with a smile: "Baoqing, you kid, what are you talking nonsense?" So he framed the second aunt in person."
Jiang Baoqing's eyes widened slightly: "Isn't it?" Because the second lady didn't manage the ice cellar well, the old lady almost didn't need ice in the yard. ”
Second Lady Wen almost broke her work, and her eyes looked at Jiang Baoqing a little colder: "Daughter-in-law, didn't you say that, isn't the ice in the old lady's yard offered?" How could our entire Dingguo Marquis Mansion break the ice in the old lady's yard? ”
Jiang Baoqing nodded: "Yes, so, the second lady took our share of Jingxuan to book." Then, as alms, he squeezed some ice out of his own share and gave it to us. Jiang Baoqing paused, and tilted his head slightly towards Mrs. Shang's side, "Mother, listen to this, if you let people who don't know the inside story listen, it doesn't look like the second lady is reluctant to give the ice in her share to the old lady, so she gave the ice in the yard of her nephew and nephew to the old lady?" ”
