Chapter 315: Things Are Wrong
Widow Cui shy away from the potter's coachman with some flinching. Holding his body, he replied in a low voice, "I'm fine...... Didn't hit the ...... It's really not ......."
She looked up, Chun Ying quickly lowered the curtain, cut off the other party's sight, and quietly cleared her throat, holding back her voice: "Uncle Tao, if people are okay, let's leave early, we have to hurry." ”
The potter was a little hesitant, just now he clearly saw her fall, he is a kind person, he must ask clearly before he can rest assured: "Second girl, you wait a little longer." This sister-in-law, are you really okay? If so......" He was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by the sound of running.
Several women ran over, their sleeves rolled up high, and their faces were angry, and when Widow Cui saw them, she wanted to flee, but because the potter's coachman was in the way, she did not succeed in escaping, but was surrounded by those women, and scolded her: "You old prostitute." The black-hearted corpse, what are you doing running so fast?! If you don't have a weak heart, why do you want to run?! You must have stolen something! ”
"I didn't, I really didn't ......" Widow Cui cried sadly, "I was just passing by, really, I really didn't steal ......"
A woman sneered and pulled her sleeve, and despite her struggles, she reached in and searched twice, and took out a green jade bracelet - the texture was just plain, and it didn't look like a valuable commodity - held high so that everyone around her could see clearly: "Look what is this?!" Where do you still have valuable jewelry?! When the rebels entered the house, they had already taken them away. You must have stolen it! Then he said to his companions, "Which family has lost the bracelet?" Claim it, and send this thief to the steward's wife!" ”
One of the women shouted, "It looks like something from my house, it was given to me by our master, and I kept it in the box, but I didn't expect it to be stolen by this old prostitute!" ”
Widow Cui kept waving her hand again and again to say things like "no", "I didn't steal", and when she heard the woman say this, she cried: "This is someone else's gift, I really didn't steal it, you can ask your boss to know......" The woman's face turned black, and her eyes almost shot poisoned arrows: "No need to ask, I will take you as a thief!" ”
The other women echoed, "Isn't it?" As long as she comes to the door, there will be one or two fewer things in our house, how can there be such a coincidence? All the men in the family gave her things? She's clearly a thief! ”
"And the face said that it was sent by someone else? Don't look at what you look like, a man is going to vomit when he sees you, who will give you something?! ”
"Isn't it? Obviously a slut. also posed as a widow and a festival all day long, in fact, the entire backstreet, but all the public, she has hooked up! ”
"How come there is no one to clean up such an adulteress?!"
"You don't know? Her daughter is a person in the second young master's house, and when she first opened her face, she walked with the wind and shouted everywhere, for fear that others would not know that she was the second young master's mother-in-law! ”
"Whew! It's just a person in the house, not even an aunt, which mother-in-law is she? Our second young master's mother-in-law is still in prison, and she may go to the Teaching Workshop Division when she will go. Could it be that she also wants to go to the Faculty Division? ”
Some people snickered, and some people disdained: "Twenty years ago, the Teaching Workshop Division might have been able to accept her, but now ...... Don't even lift shoes! ”
"Don't say it, someone is good about it now. I didn't see her look like this, and some men said that she was pitiful, and she was in a hurry to send her money and food?! ”
"It's just crying, what's the big deal? It's pleasing to men, no wonder there was a riot at that time, and people broke into her house for a long time. She didn't hurt a single hair, and she still had the spirit to tell the little daughter-in-law of the rebel neighbor's house that she was more beautiful! If it weren't for the reinforcements coming quickly, a life would have been killed by her! ”
As soon as he said this, passers-by were also excited. Originally, it was just a few women scolding Widow Cui, but gradually more and more people participated, Widow Cui became a rat crossing the street, and she couldn't escape, so she could only keep crying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to, I was also forced, and no one has lost their lives, so I ask you to have mercy......
"Phew! Do you still have the face to show mercy to us? Why don't you show mercy to us?! ”
The Tao coachman originally saw a group of women scolding Widow Cui, and he was a little blind, and wanted to chastize, but was stopped by Chunying: "Uncle Tao, don't worry about it, the widow will be fine, let's go quickly, save yourself being blocked here, and delay time in vain." ”
The potter said in surprise: "But those people are bullying that sister-in-law?" How could you leave her alone? ”
Chunying smiled: "Do you think she is a good person?" I've lived here for a long time, and I know all those people, that is, they are more powerful, and they don't hurt people, and if they make a big fuss, there are still people on top of them. If you speak for the widow Cui, beware that you won't be able to drag yourself out! From the words of those aunts and aunts, she probably guessed what happened in the back street of Houfu that was attacked on the night of the turmoil in the capital. She didn't have a good impression of the Cui family's mother and daughter. Now I don't want to chase, so I can only urge the potter to leave.
When the potter's driver heard this, he already understood a little, sighed, and led the horse back two steps, turned the horse's head around the crowd, and continued to walk forward. When she was thirty or forty steps away, Chun Ying also heard that those women were going to send Widow Cui to the housekeeper, and some people hesitated that they would offend the daughter of the Cui family, and they made a lot of noise.
When she arrived at the gate of Dongfu, Chunying got off the bus first, and when she stopped on the steps in front of the gate, the person guarding the door recognized her and greeted her with a smile on her face. Chunying greeted them with a smile, explained her intentions, and asked them to take care of the potter. Everyone happily agreed, and the foreman also smiled: "The girl will come back next time, just let the coachman come to say hello, let's open the small door directly and let the girl's car come in, there are many people outside, in case of collision, wouldn't it be wronged the girl?" ”
Chunying smiled dryly and thanked her, and turned back to the potter's coachman for a few words. So he carried a few baskets of baggage and went inside, and only after entering the second gate did his mother-in-law come up to help with things.
The first thing to go to is naturally the Songyiyuan where the second old lady lives. The second old lady was very pleased, and immediately rewarded her with a sitting, not the old footsteps or a small stool, but a serious round stool. Chun Ying pondered the face of the second old lady, and humbly gave in three or four times before sitting down, and for the first time she sat in a horizontal position to look at the face of the second old lady, she was in a good mood.
She took out a pair of cotton shoes and put them on for the second old lady, and said, "Although it is spring now, the wind is still very cold in the morning and evening. The old lady still wears padded padded well. I remember before leaving, you always said that the shoes were tight, so I made them two points bigger, and the old lady tried to see if they fit? ”
The second old lady tried it, and it really fit, and it was not tight, it was very comfortable to wear, and she was even happier in her heart: "It's hard for you to be so careful, I know that you are a good boy, even if you go out, you will think about me in your heart." ”
Chunying smiled, even if she didn't have the intention to please, she originally planned to make such a pair of shoes and send them in. The elderly have been sick for a while, have little activity, and have some edema symptoms in the lower limbs, so their feet are naturally bigger, and the shoes are bigger and more comfortable to wear. She also persuaded: "If the old lady is in good spirits, she can also walk around the yard in her spare time and exercise her muscles and bones." It's no good to be stuffy in the house all the time. It's just spring outside, and the flowers are blooming beautifully. It is also a pleasure to ask the fourth young master or the fourth young lady to accompany you for a walk, and to gossip or two. ”
The second old lady nodded happily: "Okay, okay, it's up to you." I'm just looking for someone to talk to and take a walk. How many days have you been out, what are you doing at home? ”
Chunying said simply, of course, she didn't mention her big house, but just talked about the shopping situation, and focused on the interesting experiences among them, which aroused the interest of the second old lady: "It's really lively!" It's a pity that I've lived for so many years, and now even my grandchildren and daughters-in-law are about to enter the door, and I haven't gone to the streets of Beijing once in earnest. When I was in the north, I never went out because it wasn't very peaceful outside. I can go out in Jiangnan, and the scenery is good, but unfortunately at my age, I don't have the same reason to squeeze the streets as young people, and I don't want to go out when I go back to the capital. I can only look at it a few times when I pass by in a carriage or sedan chair, and if no one is following, I don't even know the way! At this, her expression was a little gloomy, and the person fell silent.
Chunying's eyes rolled, and she pulled away the topic: "The old lady is going to marry her granddaughter-in-law?!" So, the fourth young master is about to get married? What a great event! ”
Qiu Yan next to him smiled and said, "Isn't it fast?" It's just been decided a few days ago, and it's over in June! ”
The second old lady also changed her previous gloom, and her whole person became radiant: "Exactly, it is the young lady of the Guozijian Siye Zhu family, not only has a gentle and obedient temperament, but also has a good family style, I heard that the uncles and brothers are also very good in learning, and they are also decent." Brother Dun has married such an in-law, and the benefits in the future are endless! ”
Chun Ying nodded secretly, Dongfu's approach to many things was really very different from Houfu's. Guozijian Siye, is the deputy of the chief official sacrificial wine, at most he is a fourth grade, compared to the second master's family who has been promoted to the secretary of the military department, it is determined to be in-laws, and the weight is slightly lighter, but the masters of the East Mansion consider the woman's temperament and morality, as well as the character and knowledge of the uncles and brothers, neither the official position of the other party's father, nor the amount of the dowry of the family's property, and the vision is much longer-term.
Thinking of this, Chunying pursed her lips and smiled: "The biggest benefit is that it won't take long for the old lady to hold her great-grandson, and she will have a great-grandson in the future...... That's when the benefits are great! ”
The second old lady smiled from ear to ear: "You girl is coaxing people again, if I can really hold a heavy grandson, won't I become an old monster?" I just hope to see my great-grandson as soon as possible, and I am satisfied! ”
Qiu Yan smiled: "The old lady is in good health, and it is not difficult to see her grandson!" The girls followed, and the second old lady kept laughing happily, and after making trouble for most of the hour, she felt tired, and went back to lie down, leaving only the two little girls to serve, and generously let Chunying and the old sisters talk on their own.
Chunying took Qiu Yan and Bai Ling's hands back to their room, and when she passed by her former room, she saw that it had been replaced, and it was obvious that someone had stepped up. Bai Ling said: "The new one was not from our family, it was sent by someone else, and she has a good face, and we are all guessing what the intention of the person who sent it is, but now it is still the same as us, waiting in front of the old lady, but she is not very gregarious, and you don't have to pay attention to her." ”
Chunying smiled, pulled them into the house and sat down, and said: "I asked my mother-in-law to bring two big bags in, which was a gift for everyone in the courtyard, I wrapped the share of a few of you in paper and wrote your name, don't remember to ask the little girls, so as not to be robbed by them." ”
Qiu Yan smiled: "You just came, what kind of gift do you have?" Do we sisters need to be born like this? ”
Chunying said: "Is it just for gifts?" It's just because there are many flower shops near where I live now, and the flowers are fresh and beautiful, I remember that you can't even see the flower sellers a few times in addition to the unified shopping in the house on weekdays, so I picked a bunch of them and brought them over. Gifts are small things, but what I give is my heart. Qiu Yan Bailing and the others hurriedly got up and thanked them.
After chatting for a while, Chunying asked where she was because she didn't see Jinyu. Bai Ling said disdainfully: "There are newcomers in the courtyard, she desperately grabbed the errand of training, but she only knows how to beat and scold, and the people below are not convinced by her, and she keeps making trouble every day, and the old lady is also annoyed, it won't be long before she will withdraw her errand!" ”
Qiu Yan pulled her: "Don't say it too loudly, let her hear, it's another storm." She has already promised someone, but she will go out in two or three months, why should you be like her? ”
Chunying raised her eyebrows: "Promised?" It's only been a few days...... "She remembered that there had been no news before.
Qiu Yan and Bai Ling both laughed and said nothing. Chunying didn't want to ask too much, and after chatting for a while, she went to the main courtyard. Although the second old lady is very important, she wants to fight for her father's business, but she wants the second wife to nod.
Unfortunately, the second wife was in a hurry to discuss the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and when she saw her coming, she just said a few words of greeting, and said: "I'm busy today, and I'll talk to you another day." The old lady is happy today and will remember to come often in the future. Qingluan, accompany Chunying. What about Feng Ming? Tell her to go out with me! ”
The girls were busy calling Feng Ming, and it took half a day to bring people in. When Chunying saw it, she was secretly surprised. It's only been a few days, why does Feng Ming seem to have lost a lot of weight? And he kept his head down, and his eyes repeatedly avoided her gaze.
Seeing Feng Ming like this, the second wife, Zhuo Shi, frowned, and because Chunying was present, she didn't say anything and asked her to follow her. Chunying watched them go away, turned around and asked Qingluan with a puzzled face: "I've only been gone for a few days, why have many things changed in the mansion?" What the hell is going on here? ”! ~!
