Chapter 32: I snubbed you
After a "goodbye", Weiyun put on a cloak for Xinyao, and Furong stuffed the jar with tea leaves into Weiyun's hand in a timely manner, but Weiyun couldn't resist it, so she had to accept it.
The corners of Xin Yao's eyes swept over, and without stopping, she pushed open the pavilion door, and the cold wind came with a hint of fresh smell.
Walking away two steps, Xin Yao looked back at Yan Hongyu and said with a pun: "My sister just said that she can't eat the difference between inner and outer camellia, if my sister can see more about its tea shape, taste its fragrance, and work hard to achieve it, she will naturally be able to distinguish right from wrong." The elder sister stayed, and the younger sister retired. The road is slippery after the snow, light moon, you send me out of the house! ”
When Danyue heard this, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Yan Hongyu, and quickly ran to Xin Yao's side, and the master and servant walked out hand in hand, with slight clouds and light flocculents following closely.
Yan Hongyu was sent to the door of the pavilion, and when she saw the figure walking away, she sat back in a daze, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said loudly: "Furong, quickly send someone to the Xiao Mansion to inquire and see if this light moon is a veed." ”
Fleur's face changed slightly, and she hurried away.
……
Saying that, Danyue helped Xin Yao out of the pavilion, and when she saw that the people in the Xu Mansion were left behind, she whispered in Xin Yao's ear and said urgently: "Grandma, the slave maid has never done anything sorry for the big *** thing, the slave and maid are here, they have always kept to themselves, rested during the day, looked at the accounts at night, and rarely even went out of the courtyard gate, grandma, you have to believe me, I ......"
Xin Yao stopped her with her gaze in time and said with a smile: "I don't believe you, do I believe her?" I've wronged you! ”
Danyue's eyes were red, and she didn't have time to speak, so she heard the eldest grandmother say again: "What is going on in the house these days?" ”
Danyue thought for a moment, and said, "Back to grandma, the night before yesterday, the third master and I were checking the accounts, and when we saw a critical juncture, Mrs. suddenly appeared, and the third master sent people away in a few words, and sent more people in the front yard, and idle people were not allowed to approach the study. ”
Xin Yao knows very well that the matter of auditing needs to be avoided by others, and there must be no mistakes, if Yan Hongyu has a misunderstanding because of this matter, she has to wait until the matter is over, and then let the little uncle explain it clearly.
Seeing that her master was thoughtful, Danyue said: "There are a few maids brought from the palace by Madame's side, and those who have nothing to do like to lean on the third master's side, they see that the third master treats me very preferentially, thinking that I have the same mind as them, and maybe I chewed the root of my tongue in front of Madame." ”
Xin Yao smiled coldly and said, "What a big piece of meat and bones." ”
She thought for a while and said, "You go back, you don't need to take the initiative to talk to the little uncle about this, if he asks, you can talk about it." Don't worry, maybe in a few days, my little aunt will find out that she is using her suspicions in the wrong place. If she rewards you with something, you will take it generously, and the people who come out of the palace will have good things in their hands, and they will add makeup to you when they turn around. If the maid in the palace has no more words, don't be annoyed, pack up your baggage, pat your ass and leave, naturally someone will be angry for you. ”
As soon as Danyue heard this, the previous gloom was swept away, and she had confidence in her heart.
She lowered her voice and said, "Grandma, there are problems with those accounts and books. ”
Xin Yao sighed: "What is expected, how long do you estimate it will take to finish it?" ”
Danyue rolled her eyes a few times and quietly stretched out two fingers.
Xin Yao will understand.
Out of Xu's Mansion, Xin Yao was not in a hurry to go back, but went to the newly opened silk village and inn. These two shops are only separated by one street, in the downtown area, people come and go, the location is quite good, and the door of the silk village is particularly magnificently decorated.
Li Jun got the news, hurriedly came out of the shop, and respectfully invited the eldest grandmother to come in.
Xin Yao waved her hand, only looked at the people coming in and out of the store outside, stood for about a quarter of an hour, then went to the inn, also stood outside for a while, whispered a few words in Li Jun's ear, and got into the carriage to go home.
Li Jun saw that the carriage of the Xiao Mansion was gone, so he sighed with admiration: "Fortunately, the eldest grandmother is only a woman, if it is a man's body, it is ......."
……
Two hours later, Furong whispered in Yan Hongyu's ear: "Mrs. Hui, the person sent back said that Danyue had made a marriage with the personal servant Guisheng beside the uncle of the Xiao family half a year ago, and just waited for a good day to pick a good day in the coming year to do the happy event." Everyone up and down the Jiang Mansion knew about this. ”
After hearing this, Yan Hongyu threw the needle and thread in her hand with annoyance, and said with a trace of regret on her face: "In this way, I blamed her by mistake." ”
Narcissus quickly took the needle and thread aside, and said casually: "What if you get married?" Our master has such a character, so she can't be sure that she will have other thoughts. Relying on a few calculations, even our lady please pushes back and forth, and can't fall asleep during the day, who knows what he's doing at night? ”
As soon as the words fell, the curtain was suddenly raised, Yan Hongyu's upbringing grandmother Bai Mama entered the room, walked to Narcissus, raised her hand is a slap, and scolded: "Dead little hoof, relying on Mrs. ** You, I don't know that the sky is high and the mouth is full of Huqin, and next time, beware of me sewing your mouth with needle and thread." ”
Mama Bai was originally a person next to Princess Laoqing, she had always been steady, old, and the princess loved her granddaughter, so she let her follow her granddaughter to Xu's mansion.
How dare Narcissus talk back to Mama Bai? stroked half of his red and swollen face and didn't dare to speak.
Seeing that she was honest, Mama Bai turned to Yan Hongyu and said: "Madam, the old slave has been by the old princess's side since she was young, and she knows a little about the other side. ”
Yan Hongyu's face was a little ugly, and she said lazily after a while: "You all go out, grandma stays!" ”
After Mama Bai left, she stood in front of Yan Hongyu with her hands down, and said, "What does Madam command?" ”
Yan Hongyu sighed: "Mama, the old man has been resting in the study recently, what do you think about this?" ”
Mama Bai smiled and said: "Madam, do you want to be born in the old man, full of knowledge, and ambitious, but he stayed in the Hanlin Academy for several years, and finally relied on the power of the prince to enter the household, so he naturally wanted to make some merits, so as to live up to the trust of the prince and the prince." He is still young in the household department, so he doesn't need to work at this time, but when? It is understandable that Mrs. has been neglected these days. What's more, when the old man went to the palace to say kiss, he should not accept two colors in his next life, and the words were searing, and the old slave was on the side at the time, and there would be no mistake in listening to it with his own ears. ”
Yan Hongyu's heart was slightly relieved, but she still said sadly: "Mama, I'm afraid it's this time, that time!" ”
Mama Bai hurriedly said: "Madam, which of the maids we brought from the palace at the beginning is not stronger than that light moon?" It's not that the old slave is talking to the master, the few thoughtful people around the lady, the little abacus in the secret crackles, and if they are not careful, they rush to the master, when do you see the master looking at them with his eyes? ”
Yan Hongyu thought about it secretly, and felt that Mama Bai's words made a lot of sense, and her face gradually soothed.
Seeing this, Mama Bai changed her words and said: "Madame is a royal relative, and she is already wronged when she marries into the Xu Mansion, if the lord is true and untrustworthy, how can the prince spare him?" The master is a far-sighted person, how to choose between the career future and the beautiful maid, is it not clear at a glance? My lady, you can be very relaxed, my lord and the light moon, there is absolutely nothing to do. ”
Mama Bai's face loosened her face, and she said, "Mama is an old man for many years, and there are many people watching it. How the lord treats his wife, the grandmother can see it clearly at a glance. It's not that Mama is talking to the master, the master is really speechless to Mrs., she is careful everywhere, she doesn't even say a word out loud, and she entrusts Mrs. inside and outside this Xu Mansion, Mrs. should be content. ”
Mama Bai's words seemed to give Yan Hongyu a reassurance, she showed a smile but panicked: "Hey, Mama, if Hongyuan knows that I am acting like this to that grandma today, he will definitely blame me, how can this be good?" ”
So he told the matter in the pavilion in detail and listened to Mama Bai.
After hearing this, Mama Bai picked up a few teas, handed it to Yan Hongyu, and said in a deep voice: "Today's grandmother is a little out of proportion when she speaks, but you can't blame Mrs. for this, if you want to blame that narcissus for stirring up trouble." According to the old slave, sooner or later, the old man will know about this, rather than hearing about it from the mouths of others, it is better for the lady to take the initiative to inform him, and in the end, if the narcissus is punished a little, the master will not only not blame the lady, but will definitely praise the lady for her thoughtful behavior. ”
"Over there, since she is going to get married during the New Year, Madame can't help but use this reason to reward her with something, which not only appeases people, but also appeases the people behind her through her mouth, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
Yan Hongyu was overjoyed, threw down the teacup, got up and squeezed Mama Bai's hand, and said with a smile: "Grandmother asked you to follow me, I wronged you!" In the future, Mama will remind me more, which will save me from being stupid. ”
Mama Bai sighed lightly: "Madame is too elevated to the old slave, taking care of the old slave is the unshirkable responsibility of the old slave, the old slave does not ask for anything else, only asks the lady to conceive a child as soon as possible, and be with the master and Meimei for a lifetime." ”
Yan Hongyu was happy and ashamed, and threw herself into Mama Bai's arms.
In the evening, as soon as Xu Hongyuan returned home, he was invited to the inner house by Furong beside Yan Hongyu. In the main room, Yan Hongyu set up a table of wine and food, and was waiting for him to come.
After half of the wine, Yan Hongyu hid some of the matter of inviting the grandmother of Xiao Mansion to appreciate the plum blossoms today, and said that she would listen to Xu Hongyuan.
After Xu Hongyuan heard the ins and outs of the matter, he sighed slightly in his heart, but his face was gentle, and he said softly: "These days, I have been busy with things in the yamen, but I have neglected you, is it mine." I thought that my grandfather had given up his face and been grounded for my future, and if I didn't do a good job in this position, I would be really sorry for my grandfather's love for me. I don't want to arouse the suspicion of those subordinates. Don't worry, what I promised you in the past will still be the same in the future, and it will never change. ”
Yan Hongyu saw that his tone was as gentle as before, and there was no trace of displeasure, and what Mama Xindao said was indeed right.
She was overjoyed, picked up a chopstick dish with her own hand, handed it to the bowl, and said with a sad face: "Master, today's maid has no shape, I'm afraid that I will annoy the grandmother, I understand that I want to prepare a gift, and I will accompany the grandmother in person, what do you think?" ”rs
