Chapter 8: Persuasion
Jingfu led people into the house and waited in the ear room next to her, and Peony took the first step to pick up the curtain and enter the door, and went to report to the old lady.
"Old lady, the eldest lady is here, do you want to see it?"
Peony stepped forward softly and looked up at the old lady slightly.
The old lady was half-leaning on the chaise longue with lotus flowers and sour branches, and pillowed on the cushions embroidered with rich flowers in red and red. With his eyes half-closed and sleepy-eyed, he pinched a string of beeswax Buddha beads in his hand and twisted them gently.
When he heard the movement, he raised his head and opened his eyes, leaking a trace of essence, and then reined in his emotions.
"See someone?"
Peony bent slightly and bowed, "Yes, I saw it." The face is swollen and tall, how can this be good, no matter how good it is, no matter how good it is, even if you have a face, you are a slave, how can there be a reason for a slave to break the master's face.
Seeing that people have become like this, they thought that you signaled the slave to abuse their own granddaughter, and they couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. ”
The old lady's fingers twisting the beads turned faster and faster.
"Someone asked?"
The voice was a little more majestic, and his face sank unconsciously.
"When I went to the door to explain things just now, the old lady of the neighbor next door came to inquire about what was going on, and I vaguely heard that it was Miss Miss.
also said that my mother was gone, but I pity the eldest lady who lost her mother early or something, so I casually dealt with two sentences and fooled the past. ”
Peony frowned and looked very worried, wanting to say but not daring to say.
"If you have something to say, say it."
The old lady has always trusted and pampered Peony, and she has been serving for many years, so she values her atmosphere and cleverness, unlike other children's small family spirit, Peony can be used in the right place when she speaks and does things, and this girl has her own heart the most.
Peony took two steps forward, poured the old lady a cup of hot tea and warmed it in her hand, and raised her hand to pinch her shoulder.
The slave and maid don't know if this is appropriate, but the slave and maid have a humble opinion. The eldest lady's temper is indeed a bit rigid, and this matter is not necessarily all Mama Ma's fault, maybe the eldest lady is too arrogant and annoys Mama.
But then again, we are slaves, no matter how we get the face, you give it to the old lady, even if the eldest lady is wrong, it is also the master, with you and the master to teach, how can we have the qualifications of our slaves to intervene in discipline, so as not to rely on the old and sell the old.
It's just a matter of beating and scolding our slaves and maids on weekdays, we respect Mama as your dowry, but it doesn't mean that she can beat her master.
What's more, it was hit so hard, seeing that Ming'er was about to be buried, and the Yang family was coming, which made the foreign family look like it was another lively.
It's okay to watch the excitement, but the key is that this reputation is not good, how can it be good if it affects the lord as an official, aren't they all the lord's colleagues who come tomorrow. ”
The most important thing is to point out the reputation of the old lady, which is what the old lady cares about the most.
The old lady's frowning brows relaxed slightly, and her expression was faint and she couldn't see too much emotion.
"What do you think?"
Peony stood behind the old lady, her eyes lit up, and she smiled slightly, "If you want the slave to say that you don't have to worry, no matter what, the eldest lady is also surnamed Du." I looked at the eldest lady coldly, even if she was too arrogant, but she was not necessarily a talent. ”
There was a hint of suggestion in his voice.
The old lady stopped twisting her hand and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say this?" ”
"It's only three sticks that can't make a fart, do you see how the eldest lady does it? The neighbors have come to ask, no matter what, you have to take a turn in your heart, it is easy for a fool to have this ability. In my opinion, the eldest lady is the eldest daughter of our family. ”
"I'm afraid she has a hatred for me and wants to go back to the Yang family."
The old lady was expressionless, but her voice was very deep.
"If you want to go back, let's go back, we always lose some reason at this juncture, and it makes sense to go back to my grandfather's house to be close, in a Yang family, the old lady is a first-class wife who is sealed by the imperial court, and it is qualified to teach the eldest lady.
After all, the eldest lady has no mother, and you have to worry about the big mansion if you have bad bones, there are always omissions. ”
Peony paused, seeing that the old lady didn't react, and didn't know what she was thinking, she bit her lip and made up her mind to take another dose of fierce medicine.
"If you let the future lady teach, not to mention that the eldest lady has all the memories, I don't know how to resent the new lady, not to mention that after all, it is an outer room, and sooner or later it will be turned out.
I'm afraid it's not good for the reputation of the eldest lady, and I don't think the eldest lady's temperament will not be able to have a green ambition in the future, and this primary upbringing can't be wrong. There is no room for flaws in the palace. ”
Peony has long known the old lady's thoughts, and she is bent on going to Qingyunzhi, and she will never let the younger generations decide the future by themselves.
"You're so optimistic about her?"
"The slave was not at the scene at the time, but at present, Mama Ma is about to run out of breath, and we are also in a slight situation, and we are speechless, doesn't this mean that the eldest lady has won the first step?
Don't you think she's worth looking for? In the end, it was a child taught by the lady, and sure enough, none of the daughters of the big clan were easy to get along with. ”
Peony whispered in her ear.
The old lady smiled, the first smile she had shown since the incident.
"You agree with her going back to the Yang family to be educated, I can understand this, but what should I do if the kite is released and the string is broken."
It's not that the old lady can't agree to go back to Yang's house, although going back there makes her feel unhappy, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and she can tolerate it.
"As a grandmother, I feel sorry for my granddaughter, and it is understandable to send two more people to serve in front of me, can it be said that my own granddaughter will carry a burden to go to my grandfather's house to beg for food?
There are always two personal maids, and the grandmother next to the eldest lady can't be stuffed in, but the girls are still small, so why should you put two older first-class girls to help look at the eyebrows and eyes. ”
Peony's eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, and the opportunity came.
"Who do you think is suitable?"
The old lady felt that when it came to her heart, she would never be relieved to let her go.
"I think the splendid in the old man's house is suitable, one is that the dowry deed is also in the hands of the eldest lady, and I won't be too repulsed in my heart, and a new lady is about to enter the door, and I can't tolerate the splendor.
It's better to give a way to live, and wait until the lady enters the door to choose the right opportunity to make Jinxiu an aunt, she will definitely be happy. ”
Jinxiu is a marriage and a room that has been touched by the master, originally said to be an aunt to give birth to a son, but the lady fell ill as soon as possible, and Jinxiu was very loyal and didn't let it.
But she has always been a master's person, and this thread can't be broken.
The old lady nodded slightly in approval.
"I'm afraid that one is not enough, how can there be two to consult each other to be considered thoughtful, one person is a bit arbitrary after all."
A person's words are unreliable, and it remains to be seen that Splendid is a dowry.
"This ...... Otherwise, Fleur is stable and honest. ”
Peony's heart jumped, and the words changed to his mouth.
