Chapter 19 A Little Bit of the Past
After Xia He saluted the old lady and Aunt Zhou's mother and daughter, she said crisply: "Old lady, early this morning, the money shopkeeper of Jinjue Pavilion sent a man to invite the second wife over, saying that the things that the second wife set last time had just arrived, please let the second wife look at it." ”
The old lady was confused and asked, "What your second wife has ordered has just arrived?" ”
Xia He smiled: "Oh, the slave is stupid and didn't say it clearly." The second wife ordered a few jade carving ornaments for the second master in Jinjue Pavilion last time, saying that the second master's room was too simple, and on the day of the big day, she was afraid of laughing at relatives and friends, so she asked the shopkeeper to find some good things. ”
"Oh, that's a good thing!"
"Isn't that a good thing, old lady? Coincidentally, last night, the things arrived, and the shopkeeper was afraid that the second wife would not be satisfied, so he sent a guy to invite him early in the morning, saying that if he was not satisfied, there was still time for Master Zhuoyu to re-polish it, and he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the good day of the eighth day of October. The second lady was in a hurry and asked the slave to come over and say something to the old lady. ”
The old lady didn't expect the Gu family to be so attentive to the marriage of her concubine, and she was about to speak with a wrinkled smile, but she heard Aunt Zhou say sourly: "What did you do earlier?" I was so anxious that I forgot the etiquette of the old lady to ask for peace. ”
The old lady glared at Aunt Zhou angrily, and said with a false smile: "Who is following?" ”
Xia Hechong ignored Aunt Zhou's sour words, and said with a smile: "The second wife took the fourth lady with her, Chunlan, and Weiyun followed." The second master also knew about this, and he was afraid that the old lady would be worried, so he sent a slave to give the old lady a squeak! ”
The old lady smiled: "You second wife, you have a good heart, but you are a little timid." The second master just knows about this, where is the need to come over on purpose? ”
Xia He said smartly: "The second master also said so. But the second wife said that the old lady was the head of the family in this house, and she needed to tell the old lady about everything, so that she could feel at ease. ”
Aunt Zhou's mother and daughter each snorted coldly, and they both twisted their heads away.
The old lady smiled casually: "Okay, I know." Let's go back. ”
Xia He saluted, glanced at Aunt Zhou's mother and daughter with her spare eyes, and retreated respectfully.
The old lady said to Aunt Zhou's mother and daughter: "Look, this is what the wife of the house should look like." What you say and do, not only can you not make mistakes, but you also have to make people praise it, Xiuyue, learn hard. ”
Aunt Zhou had already scolded Gu seventeen or eighteen times in her heart, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so she had to hum a few words to deal with the old lady twice.
Aunt Zhou returned to the house, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. That Gu family, adding things to the concubine's room is not what she should do, but she is shouting everywhere as a big thing. I can't wait for the whole house to know that she is virtuous and virtuous, with a foxy face, who will she show it?
When Grandma Sun entered the door, she happened to see Aunt Zhou's distorted face, and stepped forward to ask for peace. A few words were whispered in Aunt Zhou's ear.
Aunt Zhou hurriedly said: "Really, can you hear clearly?" ”
Grandma said: "Auntie, don't worry, the slave can hear clearly." When Chunlan walked halfway, she happened to meet Danyue in front of the fourth lady, and when she met, she said, "Danyue, go back to your house, there is someone from Jinjue Pavilion." There is something urgent to find Miss Four. Go quickly, it's too late to come. ’”
Before Aunt Zhou could react, the grandmother-in-law said again: "Auntie, listen, obviously I am here to find the second wife, why do you say that you are looking for the fourth lady?" If it's late, don't be in a hurry, show the second master an ornament. Why is there such a hurry? I asked the porter, and they said they were waiting at the door early in the morning. Auntie, I'm afraid there is something greasy in this. ”
Aunt Zhou pondered for a while, and then said, "You say, what will it be?" So urgent. Could it be that Jinjue Pavilion has a good business, and everything has to be robbed? ”
Mrs. Sun hurriedly said: "My good aunt, Jinjue Pavilion has only been open for a few months, where will it be like this?" According to the slave maid, the second wife didn't look like they were going to buy something, but like they were going to meet someone. ”
Aunt Zhou got up abruptly and said sharply, "Someone? Who will it be, could it be that the Gu family is stealing people behind the master's back? ”
When the grandmother heard this, she was so anxious that she jumped to her feet.
"Auntie, lightly, lightly, you can't talk nonsense, this is a terrible thing. Besides, the second wife is really like this, how can she take the fourth lady with her? ”
Aunt Zhou was a little dazed: "Then you say, what are they going to do?" ”
"No matter how capable the slave and maid are, they can't find out about this, how to act, and the aunt has to make an idea, I'm afraid that if I miss this village, there will be no such shop."
Granny Sun said as she looked at Aunt Zhou's face.
"The slave just can't bear to be a good person like my aunt, and she can't stand to straighten her waist by the second wife every day. Now in our house, up and down, who doesn't praise the second wife for being virtuous. ”
"Let's go, let someone prepare the car, and let her Gu visit Jinjue Pavilion, let's take a look, hmph, beware of catching me." Aunt Zhou said evilly.
Grandma Sun forced down the snickering joy in her heart, and hurriedly said: "My good aunt, that's right, the slave maid asked people to prepare the car, you wait!" ”
……
It is said that Jiang Xinyao hurried all the way to the door of a house, and just got out of the car with Weiyun's hand, a figure flickered in front of her.
"Why did this come about? Quick, come with me, the old lady is afraid that she won't be able to, so I'm waiting for you. ”
Yan Sixteen was pacing back and forth at the door in a hurry, and without waiting for Xin Yao to stand firm, he hurriedly stepped forward and yelled two sentences, and then strode towards the inner house.
Xin Yao stroked her chest and trotted all the way to catch up.
"Here, Ah Yuan, people are coming!"
Yan sixteen people did not arrive, and the sound went first.
Jiang Xinyao wiped her sweat at the door, straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and entered the door.
The strong smell of medicine in the room came to my nose, and two men, one black and one white, stood under the window.
Xin Yao didn't have time to take a closer look and came to the bed. Xu Hongyuan gave up his position and called the woman on the bed softly: "Mother, mother, the fourth lady is here." ”
The woman slowly opened her eyes, and was dazed for a long time before she said, "Help me up!" ”
Xin Yao looked at the woman carefully, and saw that her face was blue, her cheeks were sunken, and she was so thin that she was no longer human, but she was still conscious.
The woman leaned on the brocade mat, smiled tightly, and said weakly: "People who have been sick for a long time, their clothes are not in order, which makes the fourth lady smile." ”
When Xin Yao heard this, she didn't know why she felt infinite sadness in her heart, and when her grandfather was sick in bed, he always said such things to her. At the moment, his eyes were red and he said: "Grandmother's demeanor is still the same, and the flaws are not hidden, if you don't dislike it." Please call me Xin Yao. Xin Yao visits Grandmother Xu. ”
A smile slowly appeared on the woman's face, and she gasped for a moment, and said, "Good boy...... Come...... Sit down and let me see better! ”
Xin Yao stepped forward. Sit on the edge of the bed and smile without saying a word.
"It looks so good. Child, grandmother is about to die, and I don't see you afraid, it's really a bold, Cui Yuxuan has you, I am very relieved. Thank you, kid! ”
Xin Yao saw that her face was flushed, as if she had a reflection of the light, and her heart tightened. The smile on his face became even bigger, and he said lightly: "Grandmother is kind and kind-eyed, Xin Yao is amiable, where do you feel afraid?" Jade Xuan has today, not alone. Master, Fu Bo has made great contributions. Grandmother gets better soon, and she can see that Jade Xuan is getting better and better. ”
Xu Jinxin shook his head slowly, coughed lightly, and said happily: "Don't look at it, I have always been relieved of his eyes." Now. I can also give an explanation to the Xu family underground. ”
Xin Yao saw that she was struggling to speak, and said softly: "Grandmother is weak, she can't talk much, if there is anything she wants to ask, just ask." I say. Grandmother listened. ”
Xu Jinxin had a lot of appreciation in his eyes, and sighed: "Good boy, grandmother called you today, first, to see you, and secondly, to hear about it." How were he doing in those years? ”
Xin Yao was not in a hurry to answer, turned around and asked, "Little uncle, can grandmother take the medicine today?" ”
Xu Hongyuan said with red eyes: "Not yet, I just brought it, and it's hot." ”
Xin Yao smiled slightly: "Hand it to me." Grandmother, good medicine can cure diseases only with bitter taste, come, let's eat and listen at the same time. ”
"He can cure the disease, but he can't cure his life, I'm afraid he can't wait."
Xin Yao's eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears, and said with a sneer: "Grandfather is patient and good, I am afraid that I can wait for a while, if grandfather knows that you don't care for your body so much, and you are anxious to see him, maybe he will be angry with you." ”
Xu Hongyuan turned his back, wiped a handful of tears, and handed the medicine to Xin Yao.
Xin Yao took the medicine, tested the temperature, slowly fed it to the old lady's mouth, and said softly: "Back then, when my grandfather was sick, I also coaxed him to take medicine like this. My grandfather was very obedient and took the medicine obediently every time. After eating, I complained all the time, and I was disgusted with this and that. I've always been in the left ear and out of the right ear. ”
Xu Jinxin said with tears in his eyes: "He was most afraid of taking medicine when he was a child, he was bitter, and he would rather carry it himself when he was sick." ”
Xin Yao pouted and said, "It's still grandmother who knows him." If you want me to say, he is a tough old man, he can't listen to anyone's words, he always insists on going his own way, and doesn't take his own body seriously. If you see him, you have to talk about it. During the months I was sick, I shed many tears both openly and secretly. ”
Xu Jinxin stroked his chest and smiled weakly: "Good boy, turn around, I'll help you scold him." ”
Everyone in the room, facing each other, looked at the two people in front of the bed with bated breath.
Xin Yao said slowly: "Grandfather's favorite thing to do on weekdays is to read a book, and secondly, to take a walk in the garden. One day, I was naughty and wanted to pluck the plum blossom and make it into plum wine for my grandfather to drink, but he found out and was so angry that he ignored me for three days. I know, that flower is my grandmother's favorite, others can see it, can't move, but I can't be angry for three days, at most one day is enough, grandmother, you judge, can there be such a stingy person? ”
Tears rolled down the eyes of the old lady, and she opened her mouth to say something but could not say it.
Xin Yao didn't wait for the old lady to answer, and said to herself: "His old man is the best to eat, and as soon as there is something delicious, he can't move." There is a girl next to me, and the dishes she makes are a must, and my grandfather doesn't know how many good things he lost to me for eating. Grandmother, do you know that when you eat with your grandfather, there is a three-word secret 'fast, accurate, ruthless', which means that you must start quickly, chopsticks must be accurate, and your heart must be ruthless, if you don't eat according to these three words, let alone the dishes, you can't even drink the soup.
He also likes to teach people very much, he has a straight face all day long, and he looks cold, and the people in the house are afraid of him, but I am not afraid. He said east, I am not west, he said north, I am not south, often he is so angry that he blows his beard and glares at him, and what do he say, 'only villains and women are difficult to raise', I am so smart and clever, well-behaved and pleasing appearance, where is it difficult to raise?
Grandmother, we are both women, you have to help our women get justice......"
