First Marriage (VIII) (Part II)

The guests sat down one after another, and were about to serve the food, when they saw Mrs. Cao bring Xia Hui over, knelt down in front of Xinjie and Lian'er, and Xia Hui kowtowed. The people who had been in peace began to be secretly active again. This Mrs. Cao is the person who Mrs. Tang left in the old mansion in the capital. On the second day of the wedding, she knelt in front of the newlyweds with her girl, and she wanted to throw stones at this new grandmother to ask for directions? It was a person with a head and a face like Cao Pozi who came out, and everyone was waiting for a twelve-point god.

Mrs. Cao waited for the voices around her to gradually lower before she spoke: "This girl waited for the third young master this morning, and the old woman brought her to beg the third young master and the young grandmother, so that she could open her face and go to the Wisteria Garden to wait." Grandpa and grandma also have a personal helper by their side, so as not to make grandma too tired. ”

In a big family, a maid has waited for the young master, what does this imply? The third young master has been famous for many years, could it be that he secretly ate it behind the bride's back on the second day of the wedding? Just now, many people who were envious of the third young grandmother began to sympathize with her, and now the jealous ones are beginning to gloat.

Xinjie was annoyed as soon as he saw Cao Pozi taking people with him, and wanted to have a seizure, but he was held down by the people around him. Facing his wife's gentle eyes, he suddenly quieted down and nodded slightly. The husband and wife have the same heart, and even the nearby Xintian and Xinye understand that since this kind of person is not afraid of death, it is just right to use it for the third young grandmother.

After Mrs. Cao finished speaking, Lian'er looked at the surrounding Tang family relatives with a smile, took in everyone's expressions, and then straightened her skirt and slowly stood up. As she stood up, the voices around her were silenced, and Qingfeng waited quietly for her to speak. She was not in a hurry, she slowly walked up to Xia Hui and chuckled: "Mama Cao, this girl is usually disciplined by you, right?" ”

Mrs. Cao didn't know what she meant, so she had to nod and say, "This girl usually follows the old woman and I wait in my wife's Jinhui Garden." ”

"What rules do you usually learn?"

"Xia Hui's batch of girls is to make up for the batch released last year, if the old lady returns to Beijing, they will be responsible for waiting in front of them, the old lady did not come to Beijing, they followed the old woman and me in the yard to take care of the flowers and plants, clean the house, do some needlework."

"My wife hasn't been in Beijing for a few years."

"Yes, it's been a few years."

"So this Xia girl has never waited in front of the lord and wife."

"Yes."

"Thankfully..."

Before Lian'er finished speaking, she was snatched away by Mrs. Cao: "Yes, fortunately, this Xia Hui has never waited in front of the master, so it would be okay for the grandfather and grandmother to leave her face in the room." ”

Lian'er looked at Mrs. Cao for a long time and didn't speak, and then suddenly smiled: "Where did Mama think of it?" I said fortunately, it was this kind of girl who was fortunate that she had never waited for the old lady, otherwise it would have been a great sin to be angry with them. Such a big and ignorant girl wanted to wash her face for her master, but she didn't care that her master hadn't gotten up yet, she didn't ask outside the door, she didn't knock on the door, she just broke in with confidence. If it weren't for the room of the third young master and me this morning, your young master is very good at martial arts, and if it were a change, ordinary people would be scared to death by her movements. If this is the wife alone in the house, in case of a mistake, not only will it be difficult for her to live, but I am afraid that Mama Cao, who disciplines her, will have to bear it. ”

Mama Cao's heart tightened, these three young grandmothers are really not as kind as they seem, and a few words pulled out the ambiguous seeds she sowed in everyone's hearts, and taught her a lesson. But she also said, She is an old man, relying on the old and selling the old, not to mention that she is a wife's person, so she immediately stood up and smiled at the third young grandmother: "The young grandmother speaks very funny, and she really likes it." You are right, this girl is Meng Lang today, but fortunately, she is smart and looks good, so it is just right for her to be in the house. And grandma, you are so capable, just discipline her well. ”

Lian'er squinted at her and laughed, Master, pretending to be stupid and stunned, and selling Mrs. Tang's cheeks: "Mama is really a wonderful person." Your old man's housekeeper is in charge of the old, and the matter of disciplining the girl is definitely better than that of our little daughter-in-law who is new and does not distinguish between north and south. You old man doesn't care, push it to my junior, I know that your old man wants to train me, I don't know, I think I don't know the rules, and even the girls in my parents-in-law's yard have to take care of it. This daughter-in-law's hand is too long, and it also seems that my mother-in-law can't take care of the house, not even a daughter-in-law. ”

Cao Pozi's face froze: "Then how can it?" Those people don't know how to guess. However, the parents-in-law cared about the newlywed son and daughter-in-law, and sent people to wait, which showed more love. What's more, Xia Hui, this girl was born well, which made her open her face, and her grandfather and grandmother also had face when they went out. ”

Lian'er chuckled: "People say that their parents give it, but they don't dare to resign, and Mama Cao insists on letting us accept this girl, is it what the old lady means?" How did I not know that the old lady was busy in Kansai every day, and would think of giving a girl she had never met to her newlywed son to make a child? Or does Mama Cao think that you can be the master of your wife after following your wife for a long time? Can you give your wife's things and people to others at will? Or does Mama Cao feel that she is the second wife of the Tang family, and she can point fingers at me and the third young master in front of many relatives here? ”

Mama Cao was taken aback: "Third young grandmother, don't talk nonsense, how dare the old slave have such a non-trivial idea?" ”

"Mama Cao kept saying no, but she was doing it. And in front of so many relatives in the family. Thankfully, it was in front of everyone. If it's behind my back, I won't know how to talk about me and the third young master at that time. At that time, it was either that the third young master was unfilial, or that the wife was unkind. But I didn't expect that all of you people who were deliberately doing it for the sake of your wife's good, for the good name of the young master, and for your own selfish interests. ”

"The third young grandmother should not accuse me at will. The old slave has followed his wife for more than 30 years, how could he do such a thing. ”

"Won't do it? Then who taught me just now like a lesson to his daughter-in-law, and wanted to open the face of the girl in the master's yard to his husband to take the house? Isn't it the mother-in-law's duty to do this kind of thing? Or did the grandmother wait by the side of the wife and the master for a long time, and had other thoughts about the master? That's why today I occupied the magpie's nest, taking advantage of my wife's absence in the capital, and taking the opportunity?"

Mama Cao was flustered at this time, If this word reaches Mrs. Niang's ears, Mrs. Cao's jealous personality, whether she has it or not, will shed her skin if she doesn't die. She hurriedly knelt down: "Yesterday, the old slave drank too much wine, and his brain was not clear. If you do something wrong, the old slave has no intention of transgressing, so please punish the young grandmother. ”

Lian'er smiled and said, "Look, Mama said, my young daughter-in-law doesn't know anything, how can I punish you." Although the Queen Mother taught us that some people around us may forget their identity when they are old, they always look high and think about good. However, Niangniang also said that the Tang family's family rules are strict, and there will be no such subordinates who carry their masters behind their backs and obey the yang and the yin. You are the wife's companion, not only in the Tang family for many years, but also an old man from the Earl of Dongting's mansion, naturally you will not do this kind of deception, deceive the old master, and bully the young master. ”

Mama Cao hurriedly kowtowed.

Lian'er said again: "When we left Kansai, my wife said that when the weather was warm, she would go to Beijing to do some things. I think there are still a lot of things to clean up in this wife's yard, that is, the head and face jewelry, expensive clothes, shoes and hats that the wife has not taken away, they have to be taken out and taken care of. Now that Mama is here, it's just right, Mama Su," she turned around and called the chief steward of the inner courtyard of the old mansion: "You have worked hard these days, assign someone to help Mama Cao sort out this Jinhui Garden, so that Mrs. can come back more comfortably." ”

Mama Su saluted and agreed. This Mama Su is the old man brought out by Chen Biyan, everything in the inner courtyard of the prime minister's old mansion. Over the years, the masters have often been absent, and the outside affairs are Ding Bo, and the inner courtyard is dominated by Mama Su. Early this morning, she inquired about the movement of the Wisteria Garden, and knew that the two masters had gotten up, so she went to the gate of the garden to wait and meet the new grandmother. She had already heard from the Kansai people that this white girl was assertive and capable, and this Cao Pozi would bump into her head without knowing what to do. Do you really think that everyone is like the third young master, who was bullied by his wife, just ninjas, and walked away? It is small to punish Mama Cao for not coming out in Jinhui Garden, and checking all kinds of finances is the means of this new grandmother. Obviously, she is very aware of the various problems of the subordinates in this big family, and she also knows how to hit seven inches. Mama Su was very glad that she went to make her stand early this morning.

After experiencing the scene on the day of the confession, the people who were originally in Mrs. Tang's old house in the capital, with similar thoughts to Mama Cao, wanted to block the third young master and the young grandmother, but they didn't dare to act again. After seeing Lian'er's fierceness, Mama Su felt that the old master had a vision, and she was even more dedicated to these two. Some of those who wanted to move were also flattened by Mama Su secretly. Let the couple spend a few days very comfortably. The brothers of the Tang family naturally did not come to disturb, the prince went to the south to inspect, and Xinjie put down all the official chores and concentrated on accompanying his wife.

Before the day of returning, the Queen Mother sent someone to remind them that the bride still had a gift to return to the door.

"The old lady said that the third young grandmother was originally a sedan chair from the courtyard of Wenzhao Houfu, and she should naturally go there when she returned to the door. The newlyweds return to the door, and the husband also accompanies him, and he needs to return to the Houfu Courtyard before tomorrow, so that he will be lucky, and I hope the two of them must be on time. ”

Elves such as Lian'er and Xinjie, as soon as they heard this, they knew that there was a mechanism, and they were obviously summoned by the Queen Mother. Lian'er and Xinjie both have the right to enter the palace at any time, and the old queen mother actually made a detour and summoned her in Chen's mansion, There must be a hidden secret.
