Chapter 216: Cup's New Daughter-in-law
The old lady's yard was already in a mess. The girls and daughters-in-law came and went, carrying water, delivering tea, looking for medicine, playing fans, reporting news, and replying, and there seemed to be a hundred ducks inside and outside the house, which was very lively.
In this bustle, only in the corner of the main hall, there was a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes sitting silently, looking coldly at the commotion of everyone, and the corners of her mouth faintly showed a hint of sarcastic smile. Behind her stood two young girls dressed as maids, both of whom were well-dressed. The three masters and servants looked extremely incongruous in this scene, and the passing maids saw that they were indifferent, and there was a bit of resentment in their eyes, but the beauty in gorgeous clothes didn't care.
When Chun Ying followed the third young master Li You into the house, she saw this situation. When the beauty saw Li You enter the door, she frowned and turned her face away, dragging a silk handkerchief in her hand. Lift it slightly to cover half of your face. Li You didn't notice her sitting in the corner at all, so he broke into the room and asked urgently, "How is grandmother now?" Does it matter if your body wants it?! ”
An Shi was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping his tears, and when he heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and called his son: "You'er, come and see your grandmother......" and then wiped his tears, seeing that Li You was frightened, Amber and Onyx, who were standing next to him, saw this, and hurriedly got out of the way and asked him to run to the old lady's bed. The old lady had woken up in the dark, just gasping for breath and patting her chest gently. Li You lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, stepped forward and knelt down, and said softly, "Grandmother, what do you think?" Feeling better? ”
The old lady looked at her little grandson, with a look of love in her eyes, and nodded slightly. An Shi said again: "Be smooth for your grandmother, now she is angry with the old man!" ”
Li You paused, reached out to hold his grandmother's hand, whispered a few words of comfort, and then turned his head to ask Amber and the others about the condition of their grandmother, Amber replied: "Presumably just a moment of short-breathing, now that I have gasped for breath, I have improved a lot, but I have to ask the doctor to see for sure." Li You frowned: "Then what are you waiting for?!" Ask for a doctor! "I've already called someone to invite it, don't worry, third young master, isn't the old lady already awake?" The old lady gently patted the back of her little grandson's hand, and Li You calmed down.
Chunying and Shi'er stood by the door and saw Li You comforting the old lady. He drank again to calm down the daughters-in-law outside the house, and performed their duties, and the originally chaotic courtyard immediately became orderly after a short period of surprise. Chunying and the two looked at each other, although they always knew that he just looked like a child on the outside, and was actually a very scheming person, but he had only seen him coquettish to the old lady before, where had he ever seen him so filial and steady? I only felt that the third young master seemed to have grown five years old and become a reliable man.
Mrs. An looked at her son with a proud face, and judging from the looks of the old lady and several big girls, I believe they also feel this way, the old lady even held her grandson's hand with a touched face, sighing the words "good boy", the original pale face gradually returned to ruddy, I don't know if it was caused by excitement, or the condition has improved.
However, the old lady's health is also a good thing for the Hou Mansion. Chunying saw that her expression was better than before, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that a thought flashed in her heart: Mrs. was there, and there was still chaos in this courtyard, and it was the third young master who was only sixteen years old who came forward to calm the scene. Is this a failure for my wife? The thought swirled twice in her head before it was abandoned.
Looking back and glancing at the beauty in the corner of the house, this must be the second young grandmother who has just entered the door, right? Sure enough, it's a beauty!
Liang Yue is the kind of beauty who looks very traditional and classical, with a goose egg face, willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, cherry mouth, fair complexion, hair like ink, exquisite makeup, she wears a golden silk bun, a golden phoenix eight treasures hanging bead hairpin, and wears a red embroidered Luo skirt, the whole person looks gorgeous but not tacky. In terms of beauty alone, this second young grandmother is even better than Fan Xiru and Rouge, but it is a pity that the slightly disdainful cold color on the eyebrows under her eyes has slightly reduced her beauty.
One of the girls standing behind Liang saw Chunying staring at her master, so he glared at her, Chunying pursed her lips, turned her head, and heard another girl whisper to Liang with some concern: "Miss, does it really matter?" The first time you entered the door, you asked the elders to say goodbye......" The glaring girl whispered to her: "What is this? Obviously, it was their Li family who was the first to lose, could it be that our young lady was wronged?! Shuhua, you recognize for me who is your master! The girl who called Shuhua didn't dare to say anything more, and Liang was expressionless.
What grievances does she have? On the wedding night, she quarreled with her husband until almost dawn before she fell asleep, and delayed until almost noon before she came to greet the old lady, and her brother made a big fuss in front of the guests at the wedding banquet last night, and punched and kicked her husband, Chunying felt that it was too difficult for this girl to gain a firm foothold in this house. She still poses like this, who can look at her pleasing to the eye? Even if she is unwilling, the overall situation is decided, is she still dreaming, thinking that she has a family to rely on, so she can do whatever she wants in her in-law's house?
Chunying looked back at her and realized that she was not that beautiful. In the end, beauty still needs to be matched with a certain level of wisdom to make people feel happy!
Someone led the doctor in, and a trace of shame appeared on Liang's face, and the Shuhua girl was busy blocking in front of her. But the doctor and the person who led the way also didn't care about her, and hurriedly reported it, there was a little commotion inside, and after a while, Li You personally came out and invited the doctor in.
After another quarter of an hour, he sent the doctor out, and listening to the conversation between the two, the old lady should not have a serious problem. When all the girls and mothers-in-law saw this, they all chanted the Buddha in unison.
An Shi sniffed and wiped his tears, walked out of the room, and instructed Onyx behind him to take care of the old lady's precautions, Chun Ying hurriedly took two steps back with Shi'er, and blessed. An Shi didn't pay attention to it, just talked in a low voice, and coldly raised his eyes to see Liang sitting in the hall. The face was pulled down: "Whose new daughter-in-law has no rules like this?!" Before the elder could speak, he sat down and didn't move?! made the old lady so angry that she didn't even ask, Mrs. Liang is really a good tutor! ”
A trace of anger flashed between Liang's eyebrows, and he got up, frowned and looked at An Shi and said, "Please be cautious when your wife speaks!" The reputation of my Liang family is not something you can slander at will! No matter how bad my family's tutor is, it can't compare to the house, a few lowly girls, dare to give me a look! If you want to blame me for not knowing the rules, you might as well ask your family first. What have you done?! His eyes swept towards Onyx in disgust.
Onyx is a very decent big girl in front of the old lady, since she got married, except for amber in the house, there is no more respectable girl ring than her, even the Hou Ye and Mrs. will not say anything serious to her, now after listening to Liang's accusations, I only feel ridiculous, and I can't help but sneer: "The second young grandmother said this ridiculously!" You got up late today, and the old lady waited for most of the day, and she didn't wait for her new grandson and daughter-in-law to come to say goodbye, and she was tired, so she went back to the house to rest. The second young grandmother came at this time, but I told you to wait a little, so that the old lady could breathe a sigh of relief before she could get up and accept your bow. You are sitting here swaggeringly, there is no shortage of tea and snacks, and there are people waiting, where have you been wronged?! Could it be that the second young grandmother can't even afford to wait for this little time?! You are angry in your heart, and you don't have a reason to send it to your elders! No matter how humble Cai Que'er's identity is, she is also the person who waits in front of the old lady, and you slapped her without saying a word, what kind of rules are you?! ”
Liang blushed slightly, and glared at the girl beside him: "Didn't you hear?" Do you want me to talk to people?! The girl hurriedly stepped forward and scolded Onyx: "Our young lady is talking to your wife, what are you talking about?!" There is no distinction between respect and inferiority, you also deserve to mention the two words of this rule?! ”
"Enough!" An's shouted in disgust, "The old lady is still lying in the house!" You are shouting, you have never heard of a new daughter-in-law in the capital who has just entered the door the next day, and she has not even saluted the tea, so she plays majestic at her mother-in-law! I haven't heard of any new daughter-in-law who has just visited the church, and her brother has beaten her own father-in-law, and she has to quarrel with her! Hou Ye was really confused, he shouldn't have been soft-hearted that day, and after listening to a few words of hard pleading, he married such a daughter-in-law who didn't know what to do! ”
Liang's face flushed suddenly, and he trembled with anger. The beaded hairpin on his head trembled and made a distinct sound. Chunying and Shi'er glanced at each other, and they both secretly wiped their sweat. An Shi raised his head angrily, threw his veil and stepped out of the door, met his son who turned around, and after a few instructions, he rushed to arrange for someone to boil his mother-in-law's medicine and prepare the fine porridge she ate at noon.
Li You walked into the house, turned his head and didn't look at Liang, but only told Onyx a few precautions added by the doctor in detail, and when she entered the room, he wanted to beckon Chunying and the two to leave. But the Liang family lost face in front of the An family, the main owner left, she had nowhere to go, seeing that this uncle ignored herself again and again, extremely rude, she couldn't help it anymore: "Whose young master enters the inner courtyard, will he not shy away from it?!" Isn't there a rule in the house?! ”
Li You frowned, looked at her coldly, and without speaking, he looked away. Liang was even more angry, turned his head to glare at the girl, but the girl was a little embarrassed, she could speak out on behalf of the other girls, but this is the young master of the Hou Mansion, do you want her to scold?
Chunying looked left and right, remembering that the Liang family had just asked the girl to scold the agate on her behalf, guessing that these children of ancient nobles would probably "respect their own identity" and not quarrel directly with their subordinates, right? But now there is a conflict between uncle and sister-in-law? However, it seems a little inconvenient to let the third young master open his mouth to refute his sister-in-law
Forget it, since you want to please the third young master, just do it completely!
Chun Ying took a step forward and said respectfully: "Second young grandmother, what you said is not right, this is the old lady's yard, the old lady is not good, the third young master came in to ask for help, it is filial piety, how can there be no rules?" The slaves and maids don't know what the rules are in the old man's house, but in our house, the young masters come to greet the old lady, and the young grandmothers and young ladies have always avoided going inside, otherwise, they will also avoid behind the screen. "The implication is that the third young master comes and goes, if you want to avoid it, won't you move by yourself?
Liang glared at Chunying, but Li You glanced at her approvingly, Chunying almost smiled back, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the girl who was about to speak again, so she took the first step to meet her and smiled at her, and said, "This sister, since you have entered the gate of our mansion, you must act according to the rules of our Hou Mansion in the future." People who have always had rules treat those who wait in front of their elders with courtesy. In our house, the sisters in the old lady's courtyard are more decent than others! Like you, you can't shout at them, or even beat them. Today's saint governs the country with filial piety, our Hou Mansion has always been loyal to the monarch, the whole family, the most important filial piety, even the most humble little girl, also know this truth, sister must not do it again in the future. ”
The girl's hands trembled with anger: "You...... What do you mean by that? Are you saying that my young lady doesn't know the rules?! Liang gritted his teeth on the side, and the girl named Shuhua pulled her sleeve in fear, and she shook it off.
Li You smiled faintly, staring at the courtyard outside, but he put his hands together and made a gesture in the direction of the Liang family: "Second sister-in-law, you don't understand these rules, the second brother will teach you slowly." Now my grandmother's situation can't be bowed down by you, even if you want to make amends, she is afraid that the old man will be even more angry when she looks at it. You better go back first, I will tell the second brother when I turn around, and let him teach the second sister-in-law well! After a pause, he added: "If you feel that you can't see a man, you might as well ask your girls to do it next time, move the screen behind you, and block it in front of you, so naturally no one can see you!" After that, he glanced at Chunying and Shi'er: "Let's go." ”
Chunying and Shi'er glanced at each other, both held back a smile, and followed him.
Before he could break out of the threshold, Liang shouted: "Stop! ”
(I'm really sorry for being late today...... )。.。
