Chapter 22: Dissatisfaction
Xiao's mother covered her mouth and coughed.
"I heard that a few days ago, the eldest lady led the three girls and the four girls to Guangji together, and when I came back, I saw that the eldest lady's face was not very good, so I went to the wife's courtyard to ask more."
Old Madam Qin was a little stunned: "Hui Yan and Yun Yan went together?" ”
How did she remember that this girl Huiyan and Miaoyan were very incompatible?
Mother Xiao saw what Mrs. Qin was thinking, so she smiled and said, "The little girl's family may have forgotten it a long time ago, and besides, it was also a matter when she was a child." ”
"It's not that you didn't come from the girl's house, and you can break the handkerchief handkerchief, not to mention that the two are not serious sisters." Old Lady Qin snorted coldly.
"That's what the old lady said." Xiao's mother wiped her sweat.
After a pause, she said again: "After that, the old slave went to inquire about the eldest lady, and only then did she know that it turned out that our two girls were her, and she ......."
Seeing that she was reluctant to speak, Mrs. Qin said impatiently: "You don't dare to say anything!" ”
"Yes."
Xiao's mother organized the language, "It was about the girl next to the second girl who went to the kitchen to steal steamed buns, and happened to be discovered by the mother-in-law in the kitchen, and then fought hard, never thought that the second girl went to a stool and rammed it on the mother-in-law's head, knocking everyone unconscious." ”
"The eldest lady was very angry when she found out, but the second girl told her that the mother-in-law was sick to be like this......"
Xiao's mother spoke sharply, describing the situation in a few words, as if she had witnessed it at the time.
The corners of Old Lady Qin's mouth trembled as she listened...... This, is this the second girl of her family's sick seedling?
Mother Xiao was not surprised to see that Old Lady Qin could stuff eggs with her mouth open, after all, when she first knew, she also had this expression.
"And after that?" Old Lady Qin quickly returned to normal and continued to ask.
Mother Xiao told the eldest lady what she had said about Mrs. Tang's interrogation, and immediately looked at Mrs. Qin's face.
"This girl, I haven't seen her for a few years, but she still has sharp teeth and sharp mouth!"
Sure enough, Old Lady Qin still didn't have any sympathy for Qin Miaoyan, but was very dissatisfied with her studying medicine under Xuanpu.
"A girl's family, what kind of medicine to study! She studied medicine, what is the use of the old lady giving her a rejuvenation hall! ”
As she spoke, the old lady Qin used the rattan cane beside her to pestle the ground, making a muffled sound of "tuk tuk".
Mother Xiao listened harshly, and couldn't help but say: "The second girl is also a pitiful, she has neither a father nor a mother at the age of eight or nine. ”
"That's what her mother did!" Old Lady Qin coldly interrupted Xiao's mother's words, "If it weren't for her mother not listening to the old lady's advice, how could she be unladylike?" I said that kid wasn't a good thing! If you work in the Rejuvenation Hall, you can kidnap the young lady of the owner, an ordinary boy from a good family, can you do such a thing? ”
Mother Xiao sighed slightly in her heart, and lowered her head to pour a cup of hot tea for Mrs. Qin.
No matter how much you blame the aunt's wife, that's also a matter of the previous generation, after all, it's not the second girl's fault, her mother wants to elope, can she jump out and say no?
But the old lady Qin has always been a hot temper, and when the old lady was alive, she didn't have a good face for the second girl, not to mention that the old lady is no longer there.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Xiao's mother estimated that it was almost lunch time, and sure enough, a girl sent lunch in a few moments.
After finishing lunch, Mrs. Qin leaned on a rosewood chaise longue couch and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Suddenly, the soft curtain at the door moved slightly, and I saw the eldest lady walking in with a handkerchief.
When the eldest lady saw that Old Lady Qin was resting, she was busy walking back.
"Come on, madam, I didn't sleep, so I squinted for a while." Old Lady Qin opened her eyes and called for her.
Only then did the eldest lady let go of a heart that was up and down.
"My daughter-in-law thought that my mother was resting, I don't know how you are lately, but you are tired?" She asked.
"It's okay," Old Lady Qin replied indifferently, and then went straight to the point, "Miaoyan is back, have you arranged her to Shuyuzhai?" ”
The eldest lady has been looking for someone to clean up Shuyuzhai since a few days ago, and notified the old lady in advance, and now the old lady is asking again...... Why?
"The daughter-in-law is watching Shu Yuzhai idle, besides, the old man entrusted Miaoyan to the big room before his death, and he can't always ask Miaoyan to live in the second room, right?" She said worriedly.
The east courtyard is the former residence of the old man, which will be left to his son in the future, and the second room is ...... Hmph, it's okay to divide the dowry, but she doesn't even need to ask about it, the second daughter-in-law is fine, just find an excuse to send her away.
Old Mrs. Qin glanced at the uneasy eldest lady, and reached out to peel an orange, "The tangerines sent by the wife, let's take them back to my brother later." ”
"Mother, what does this mean?" The eldest lady was stunned.
"The things you gave me to eat are good things, but I've been on fire lately, and I've eaten too much, I'm afraid I'll be able to go back to the west to find the old man in a few days." Old Lady Qin choked on death and said without paying for her life.
The eldest lady walked out of the old lady's yard, looked at the whole basket of tangerines behind her, her face was full of grievances, where did she provoke the old lady again?
scolded her in front of so many girls, she didn't want to lose face!
Xiuhe sighed and whispered: "Don't worry, Mrs., the old lady has always been like this." She's like this today, I'm afraid it's ...... Two girls. ”
The eldest lady understood it when she thought about it.
Oh, co-authoring is to blame her for giving the wonderful words to live in Yuzhai!
"Could this be my fault? I don't want to live in Shuyuzhai, is it difficult to live in the East Courtyard? "Brother Wen lives in the east courtyard, although Brother Wen is not very old, but a little further east, it is the master's study!
"The housekeeper also has a belly full of bags." The eldest lady muttered, and led a group of servants away.
When the lantern was held in the court, it was already evening.
There is a faint glow left in the sky, and the clouds are steaming like magnificence, with a little chill of early spring, and a trace of refreshing people's hearts.
Qin Miaoyan read a few pages of medical books by the window, and then another girl knocked on the door.
Poria ran to open the door with great interest, and the right person sent it was a tangerine, and what was sent here must be an evening meal!
Sure enough, the little girl put a food box on the round table, and at the end, she smiled and said, "The dish is still hot, the second girl, please use it slowly." ”
Where had Poria seen someone so polite to her, she immediately smiled like a flower and sent the girl out in person.
"Girl, it's time to eat!" She urged Qin Miaoyan.
Qin Miaoyan was walking to the round table, and this girl was already about to open the food box.
"Ahh
Poria opened her mouth, but her originally excited voice choked up.
A few very simple dishes, rice rotten soup, mushroom cabbage, the only dish with meat, about the plate of steamed pork cakes with paste and oil.
Qin Miaoyan took a sip of the tea soup, it was almond tea, and she frowned.
Add a little lactose, it's too sweet.
Poria was so disappointed that she pounded the food box with a "dong dong", and said bitterly: "What about the big fish and big meat?" How can these dishes make people have an appetite! Girl, I want to eat pig sausage, roast mutton, roast bamboo shoots, goose chicken, roasted clams, fried shrimp, ......"
The corners of Qin Miaoyan's mouth twitched slightly.
She said, why does this girl always have a bad memory, it turns out that her mind is full of these things, and she hasn't eaten them for many years, she still remembers it so clearly?
