Chapter 277: Invitation
Xue glanced at Feng Shi, who was standing aside, with a pale face, and asked, "What do you two young ladies mean?" ”
The grandmother swallowed her saliva and glanced at Xue carefully: "The second young lady said that she would beat that maid with a hundred boards, beat the child down, and then sell it." Madam, if you go down this hundred boards, let alone a pregnant woman, even ordinary people will not die. Our old lady and lady are both people who eat fasting and recite Buddha......"
Xue Shi frowned: "This is indeed hurting the heavens. And by doing so, not only did Xue Ruyu lose her favor in front of her mother-in-law, but she was charged with mean and vicious crimes, and there was no possibility of reconciliation with her husband.
The mama breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is the Chen family's family matter, and I, an outsider, are not good at beaking. My cousin is stubborn and arrogant, and she is not really so vicious, and I ask the old lady and the lady not to take it to heart. No matter what, the child is always innocent. Xue shook his head.
The grandmother was overjoyed, she didn't expect this third lady Wang to be so reasonable, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Madame for being magnanimous." ”
Xue Shi turned his head to Feng Shi and said softly: "As for Auntie, if you are willing to go back to Tianjin to follow your cousin, I will send you away, if you want to follow my niece, then you can stay, and persuade Auntie to see your own wishes." ”
Feng originally came to Wang's house to find Xue's support, but seeing that Xue not only did not help her and Xue Ruyu support, but also secretly provoked a lecture, she naturally didn't want to stay here anymore, so she said coyly: "I'd better go back to Tianjin, I'm not worried about Ruyu." ”
Xue smiled and nodded gently: "Then I'll ask someone to make some gifts for you to take back." ”
The grandmother hurriedly said: "When the slave and maid came, the old lady asked the slave and maid to bring some seafood, saying that it was for the lady and several young ladies. If the lady and the lady like the fabrics, jewelry, and spices, they can send a letter to our house, and we will send them to the lady. ”
Xue smiled and nodded: "The old lady bothered. As he spoke, he walked to the side and instructed Agarwood to go to the treasury to find some good medicinal materials, and the palace satin cloth was wrapped. It can be regarded as a return gift for taking it to the Chen family.
"Presumably the old lady is waiting for Mama to go back and reply, and I won't keep you any longer." I saw that the grandmother said that she wanted to leave now. Xue nodded.
Feng Shi got up from his seat in a gloomy manner, and Xue Shi also got up to see him off, and when he arrived at the door. Xue Shi said slowly: "I see that the old lady and lady of the Chen family are all reasonable people. It is also very good for my aunt and cousin, and I will not deceive my Xue family. Therefore, if the Xue family takes advantage of the Xue family's reasons in the future to stir up trouble, and there is no respect for the elders...... Don't blame me for not being this family, because our Xue family has always been loyal ministers and women, and there are no disobedient and unfilial people. ”
Xue's voice is very soft, and it is still soft, but it is soft and rigid. Feng and the grandmother listened to it, and their hearts sank. They all believed that Xue's words were not said casually.
What Xue meant by this. As long as it was not the Chen family who deliberately bullied Xue Ruyu, but Xue Ruyu who deliberately provoked trouble, her cousin would not be on Xue Ruyu's side.
Xue watched Feng leave. turned around to meet the house, but saw Sanniang standing in the room. Smile at her.
Xue's face turned red, and the momentum and demeanor of the master mother just now immediately disappeared: "I...... Am I not doing well? "All that remains is the uneasiness of the students in front of the teacher.
Sanniang immediately shook her head: "Mother, you are doing very well, even I can't do better than you." Sanniang cheered up the Xue family.
Xue's face was still red, but she was happy in her heart, and she was very satisfied to get Sanniang's affirmation. Just when she was talking to deal with it, she thought about how she would deal with this matter if it was Sanniang who was sitting in her place.
Sanniang is really happy for the Xue family, although she is not yet mature, but she has made great progress. Xue's progress, she has been watching it these days, Xue's is not stupid, on the contrary, she is smart, so she gradually began to be handy in the affairs of the inner house, Sanniang believes that it won't be long before she doesn't need to be on the side to guide her.
It was also because she knew that she couldn't always be by Xue's side to give advice, so just now she kept standing aside with her eyebrows lowered and didn't say a word.
"Do you think I'm saying that I don't take care of my cousin?" Xue Shi thought about it and asked.
Sanniang shook her head: "I think you take too good care of her." You did this just to let her and her in-laws have room to turn around, and those words were also to restrain her temperament, so that she would not dare to confront her elders in the future. Moreover, this matter has become a foregone conclusion anyway, as long as the Chen family is not mad, they will not really let their family die tragically for no reason, you let Aunt Ruyu take a step back and let her earn enough money in front of the Chen family even if she has no face, even if she does something wrong in the future, the Chen family will bear with her a little bit when she thinks of this matter. ”
Seeing that Sanniang understood her thoughts, Xue Shi's eyes were shining with a smile: "You still understand me, I'm afraid my aunt is going to hate me." ”
"It's good to have a clear conscience, anyway, my mother didn't expect to get anything in return from Old Madam Xue and Aunt Ruyu when she did this." Sanniang took Xue's arm and said with a smile.
When Xue heard that New China was ironing, she really felt that there was no more considerate and empathetic woman in this world than Sanniang. Such people are liked from the bottom of their hearts.
The morning has passed so hectic and lively.
Before noon, the Xue family received a post from the porter, and it was the Su family who invited the Xue family and Sanniang to be guests.
Xue told Sanniang, which made Sanniang very surprised.
Since the last time she broke up with Su Min's brother and sister in the Su family, she has not heard from the Su family. This time, he handed over the post in earnest, inviting their mother and daughter to go. The reason written on the post is very simple, Mrs. Su invited several ladies to play cards, and wanted the Xue family to join in the fun.
This is even more strange, Mrs. Su does not like to play cards, and she has never had a card table at home.
But the post has already been sent, even if it is a little hasty, Xue does not dare to slack off. Mrs. Su will be Wang Zheng's mother-in-law in the future, and she will be the elder of the Xue family, and she dare not refuse.
Xue then took Sanniang and explained to Sun in the room.
Sun was also born in Beijing before, and he didn't care when he heard Xue's words, but just told her to go early and return early.
Siniang on the side rolled her eyes and said to Sun: "Grandmother, let the granddaughter go with the third aunt." I've been in Beijing for so long, my grandmother has been in poor health, and my granddaughter hasn't been out yet. ”
Sun frowned: "Isn't it time for you to blame me for being sick?" Sun has become more moody now, except when facing Erniang, he always doesn't know who upset her with that sentence.
Siniang secretly complained in her heart when she saw it, but unfortunately Erniang was not here at this time, she had no one to help, and she didn't know how to convince Sun.
Xue glanced at Sun and said with a smile: "If Siniang wants to go out, let's wait for the next time." This post writes the name of the inviter, and it's not good to take you there, for fear of losing the courtesy. ”
Sun didn't look at Siniang, but said, "Didn't you just say that you want to serve me for your second sister?" Come and give me a leg pinch. Since the third daughter-in-law wants to go out, let's go out. ”
Siniang choked, but she didn't dare to disobey Sun, so she had to bite her lip, kneel beside Sun, and gently pinch her legs. A pair of eyes looked at Xue and Sanniang.
Sanniang pretended not to see it, and Xue just smiled, and took Sanniang out.
The two put on their clothes and went out of the second door and got into the carriage.
But the carriage had just left the alley when it was stopped. Agarwood lifted the curtain and looked at it, and said busily: "Madam, it's the grandmother next to the old lady of the Wen family." Saying that, Agarwood leaned out and listened to the grandmother say a few words in her ear, and then looked surprised.
"What's going on?" Xue Shi frowned slightly.
Agarwood hurriedly replied softly: "The old lady asked her to wait here, saying that when she saw our carriage coming out, she asked her to stop it, and let us go straight to Wenjiayuan." ”
Xue Shi glanced at Sanniang in surprise, and saw that Sanniang was also confused, so he asked, "Did that grandma say anything?" ”
Agarwood shook her head: "The old lady just asked her to tell the lady and the young lady to go to the Wen family, and there was nothing else." ”
Xue was silent for a moment, and then ordered the coachman to go to Wenjiayuan as the grandmother said.
"Sanniang, could it be that this post just now was not sent by Mrs. Su? But if my aunt is looking for us, why don't we just send someone to find us? Rather, it is to be done in this way. Like ...... It's like ...... It's like covering people's eyes and ears,......" Xue said uncertainly.
Hide people's eyes? Whose ears and eyes are covered?
Sanniang listened to Xue's words, but she was secretly contemplating in her heart.
It was a little strange that she took the Su family's post, but she didn't want to be like this.
"When I get to the Wen family, I will know when I see my uncle and grandmother." Sanniang smiled at Xue, looking unfazed.
Xue Shi also learned from Sanniang's appearance and slowed down the emotions on his face. She didn't find out herself, she was always subconsciously learning from Sanniang to deal with people, even Sanniang's always faint smiling expression, Xue also learned three or four points.
When the carriage arrived at Wenjiayuan, Sanniang and Xue went directly to Li's main house and saw that only Li and Wang Zheng were there.
Seeing the ceremony, Li asked with a smile: "What about your mother-in-law and Erniang?" ”
Xue Shi hurriedly said: "My mother-in-law is not happy, so I left Siniang to serve, and Erniang just said that she would go to change clothes and never came back." ”
Li nodded, turned his head to look at Sanniang, took a good look, and beckoned to her: "Good boy, come here, let your uncle and grandmother take a good look." ”
Sanniang paused slightly, glanced at Li, and saw her smiling kindly, so she walked over with a smile and let Li take her hand. (To be continued)
