Chapter Twenty-Six: One Man Attains the Way
"Madame teases, where will the scholar do business." Master He replied with a smile, although his mouth was modest, but his heart was full of contempt.
The trip of the big clan, the three religions and the nine streams, Shinong industry and commerce. As a scholar, no matter how down-and-out he is, he will not be a dirty businessman!
Sun Zhutou said jealously: "Madame, I don't know, Master He's father is a famous member of our thirteen counties, and he has his own family business and property, where is there a shortage of money?" I come to the government to do things for my own pleasure! ”
Chang Le's eyes flashed, looking at this master He who was about forty years old, and couldn't help but sigh:
It's good to be rich in the second generation!
Zhang Changxiu listened to their chatter silently on the side, and actually felt a little enjoyment. I was in a good mood and my brows were relaxed.
Because of small talk, the meal took another quarter of an hour to finish.
Xu hasn't been so relaxed for a long time, Chang Le really ate all three bowls of laba porridge.
The dishes on the table, except for the plate of fat, did not move much, and the other two plates were eaten cleanly.
"Oh, I knew that I would have asked Aunt Hao to do less." Sun Zhutou looked sorry, stared at the neatly arranged empty bowls in front of her, and said with satisfaction, "Madame is really extraordinary!" ”
"I just ate my stomach a few days ago, so I didn't eat much greasy things, which wasted Sun Zhutou's kindness." Chang Le said slightly apologetically.
Sun Zhutou looked abrupt: "No wonder the master only needs some porridge and side dishes, it turns out that the lady has an upset stomach." Oh, my grandson didn't do a bad thing with good intentions! Madame didn't say it earlier, why didn't the master stop it? ”
Chang Lehu looked at Zhang Changxiu suspiciously.
He's so kind?
Zhang Changxiu calmly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and resisted the urge to drive Sun Zhutou out of the yamen.
He stopped?
He had to know!
"It's not early, I've eaten well, let's go back." Zhang Changxiu pretended not to hear Sun Zhutou's question, and got up and brushed his shirt lightly.
Master He always looked at the plate of fat meat, immersed in the pain of the flesh. Hearing this, he withdrew his gaze and bowed his head respectfully.
"I'm going to get people to prepare the horses. I'll leave it to Sun Tou to clean up. ”
He doesn't have any attachment, he just can't see food wasted!
It's uncomfortable to look at it more.
……
Red Bean Garden, the dark fragrance floats, and the previous fragrance is soft and soft.
Hua Chu'er leaned softly on the soft couch in the outer room, her eyes fell on the door, quietly waiting for Zhang Changxiu's arrival.
Because of the long waiting time, and the symptoms on the body are not cured, a face is white and transparent. frowned, I really felt pity.
The table in the center of the room was full of delicious food, but it was already cold, and there was a beautiful skin.
The wick of the oil lamp was cut twice, and Ruyu ran in from outside.
Ruyu walked slowly to her side and whispered, "Madam, don't wait. The head of the house had just come back and went to the pot courtyard with his mother in his arms. ”
Hua sat up suddenly, her eyelashes trembled, and she said incredulously: "Took her to the pot courtyard?" ”
"Yes." Ruyu nodded, "The master mother seems to be tired and asleep." The head of the house said that they had already eaten, and they were very tired today, so they would not come. Let the servant serve the lady's meal and rest early. ”
Hua Shikou pinched into his palm and slammed it on the table. I couldn't get out of breath for a while, and I felt that the things in my eyes and hands were as obstructive as Chang Le. His eyes were fierce, and his subordinates violently pushed the small case on the couch to the ground.
With a loud "bang", Ruyu knelt on the ground, lowered her head and didn't dare to raise her eyes, and said tremblingly: "Madame, don't be angry, be careful of being angry." ”
Hua Shi was in a somewhat frightening state at this time, his white face was flushed, his tender black eyes were glowing with fire, and he gritted his teeth until his entire jaw trembled.
The fall of a table was not enough to relieve the anger, and Hua slowly walked to the table with a fierce gaze. Grabbing the edge of the table with both hands, a wave of anger rushed out of his heart, surging his hands and toppling the entire table to the ground.
Suddenly, the whole room was like a fight between the male and the lightning, crackling, and light and shadow flashed.
Ruyu had never directly encountered such an angry outburst scene, and was directly frightened to the ground, shivering in her hair, the corners of her eyes were red, and her little heart suddenly jumped out.
She felt that the second lady was not at all as tolerant and kind as rumored, and was secretly worried that she would not end up with Suhe.
Hua Shi looked at the mess all over the place, just like dismantling Chang Le into eight pieces, and finally vented his anger. The whole body was also emptied, and the body of the weak willow seemed to be swept away by the wind and fell to the ground. Trying to support his upper body with his hands, panting heavily, there was an unquenchable hatred in his eyes.
Chang Le, you wait! I'm not going to let you roll over!
The silence of the room was abnormal, Ruyu looked up in fright, caught a glimpse of the paralyzed figure on the ground, turned pale with fright, and stepped forward to help her up.
"Madame, ma'am!"
"It's fine." Hua Shi glanced at her and said lightly, "I just accidentally hit the table, just find someone to clean it up, don't alarm the head of the family." ”
Ruyu nodded again and again.
"How's Soho?"
Ruyu said softly: "Sister Suhe's injury is a little better, and now she is being taught by Aunt Xi in the miscellaneous courtyard." Madame, don't worry, I personally sent Laba porridge over today. ”
Hua closed his eyes.
That Aunt Xi has always loved to make things difficult, and Suhe's life must be difficult. I can only temporarily grieve Suhe.
"Where did the head of the house go with his mother today?"
Ruyu said truthfully: "I heard that I went to the Yamen." The maid heard someone on the street in the afternoon that the master's painting skills were superb, and the recent case was finally about to be solved. ”
"Recent cases?" Hua's beautiful eyes were long and narrow, flashing with some kind of strange brilliance.
"Exactly. It was the theft that had troubled the head of the family for more than half a month. ”
"Theft."
Hua nodded thoughtfully, and stroked the finger that had been wearing the white jade ring.
……
What is called a person who has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and the pot courtyard is a bright example.
Chang Le was still asleep in a daze, when he heard the sound of communication outside the door.
"Sister Shili, are you going to wake up Madame?"
"Don't worry, my wife has recovered from a serious illness, and she is much lazy. It will not rise until the sun rises three poles. ”
"Madame is really pitiful, being bullied like this by that Hua clan. Fortunately, now it's time to turn over again, and you can get it back from that Hua clan in the future! ”
"Okay, okay, don't say it. Let's stay away, she's not here now, she's not well, she can't be stimulated. Wake her up, and there will be no good fruit to eat. ”
After a few words, there was silence outside the door.
I only faintly heard some movement and talking in the courtyard.
Chang Le immediately recognized the sound of Shili.
Shili's words just now must be saying that she has a problem with her brain!
Getting up is really a little angry, she wants to fire her squid!
But who is the other person?
Changle was completely sleepy and sat up suddenly. The six gods were awake, and the voice outside the door was clearer.
"Aunt Rong, it's cleaned up here."
"Chun Nuan, why don't you wake up your wife?"
"Aunt Rong, Sister Shili said that Mrs. is not in good health now, and she needs to rest more on weekdays."
Along with the sound of talking, she also heard the sound of brooms rubbing against the ground, the sound of moving things back and forth. The excitement made her think she hadn't woken up yet.
Wrapped in the quilt, he took two steps with the soft and warm embroidered shoes, and the feeling under his feet was strange again.
When I looked down, it looked like a new pair of shoes.
Inexplicably, she continued to walk out, and was attracted by a pot of coals on the way.
The charcoal was obviously burned into charcoal, and it was not burned by burning wood ten miles away at all.
It's all weird.
As soon as the door opened, she was completely stunned.
Today is the same as yesterday's weather, but with less snow. It's just small snowflakes that are slowly flying.
The yard is fresh, clean, tidy and full of life.
The path was swept out, and thick snow was piled up in the mud on both sides. There are also flower pots placed at intervals on both sides of the road, and red plums are planted inside. The red plum is beautiful and beautiful, and it opens just right, which is pleasing to the eye.
In addition, three people appeared out of nowhere.
Two maids dressed up, an old woman.
"Madam, you're awake!"
The three of them saluted in unison, and when they raised their heads, their eyes were full of tears, as if they had seen an old man who had not seen each other for many years.
Chang Le was frightened by this scene, and searched everywhere for the existence of ten miles, but he disappeared for a long time. At this time, you can only carry it yourself.
"Who are you, and what are you doing in my pot yard?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three people froze instantly, and they seemed to react to something, revealing a tolerant smile.
Chang Le felt that he was being treated like a fool.
One of the old women clasped her hands in front of her chest and slowly stood up.
This man was about forty years old, and he was humble in his conduct, and he should have been the older kind of servant of the Taishou House. Generally, people with such identities rely on the old man to make things difficult, but this old woman doesn't look like it.
"Madam, the old woman Rongxi, everyone calls Aunt Rong, who followed Mrs. before. This is the winter summer and autumn warbler, and the spring warmth who works in the kitchen, and they all followed the lady before. The head of the family explained yesterday, and from today onwards, we will come back to serve our wife. ”
"Madam, the maid is an autumn warbler." The baby-faced maid took a half-step forward and happily introduced herself, revealing a pair of cute dimples.
"Madam, the maid is winter and summer." Dong Xia is very tall, according to Chang Le's calculations, about 1.7 meters or more. The thin body looks like a wicker.
Chang Le suddenly realized that they were really old people.
At this time, I swept over them again, and I was inexplicably moved, but I was not so enthusiastic.
When she was in trouble, she had never seen these people, and it seemed that they were all masters who tended to be inflammatory.
"Madame, woke up so early today? Why are you wrapped in a quilt and go down to the ground, it's hard to wash. ”
Finally hearing a familiar voice, Chang Le hurriedly turned around, gave Shili who came out of the kitchen a look, and motioned for her to come to her side as quickly as possible.
Shili is really followed by a chubby girl, it should be the spring warmth.
"Go on, Shili, come in and help me wash and change my clothes." Chang Le quickly put down a sentence, turned around and wrapped himself in the quilt and entered the door.
When Aunt Rong heard this, she began to arrange in an orderly manner: "Qiu Ying, hurry up and fetch water; Spring is warm in winter and summer, go and prepare for morning food. ”
Chang Le wrapped up in a ball, sat on the bed, staring at the brazier. Only then did she notice that incense had been lit in the house at some point.
The sudden change made her very unaccustomed.
Yesterday it was miserable like ants, but today it is warm.
"Madam, is this difference too big to accept for a while?" Shili had already arrived at the bedside, and in one sentence, "To be honest, when I opened the door this morning, I saw them standing at the dark door with lanterns, and they almost scared me to death." I thought they had been tortured to death, and they remembered us before they were reincarnated, and then they came back. At that time, I wanted to scold, they don't have to be so polite. Fortunately, I didn't say it at the time, and I was almost embarrassed. ”
