Chapter 39: Mother and Son
Zhuang Xinchuan avoided his newlywed wife and came to his mother's Juxiang Courtyard, and asked his mother to go to the eldest lady to ask Qin Tian over.
"Mother, it's not easy for me to talk about this kind of thing, so it's more convenient for you to talk about it!"
Aunt Li slammed the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand on the table next to her, and poked her index finger into his forehead.
"Can't you settle down? It's only been a long time since Bijun entered the door, and you are thinking about accepting the girl, and she is still a person in the courtyard of the big house, you don't know, she has always been close to the people around her, where is it so easy to get? ”
Ling'er stood behind Aunt Li to help her beat her shoulders, but her eyes kept glancing at Zhuang Xinchuan next to her, her eyes flickering.
"Okay, don't beat it, it's light and heavy, it's uncomfortable, get out, give it to me!" Aunt Li impatiently sent the people in the room.
Ling'er and the other maids responded to the call, and when she was about to go out, she couldn't help but glance back at Zhuang Xinchuan, and when she saw that he didn't even look at herself, she couldn't help but flatten her mouth angrily.
After everyone went down, Aunt Li looked at her son beside her, and said: "Xinchuan, Weiniang is looking for an opportunity to force your eldest mother to give way, there is a place for your Yue's family in this matter, let me tell you, during this time, you have to coax Bijun to me!" ”
Zhuang Xinchuan sighed and said weakly, "Got it." He remembered something, turned around and leaned in front of Aunt Li and whispered: "That thing is almost done, but I need the help of Zhongzhong, but I'm afraid he won't give in, is there anything my mother can do?" ”
When she mentioned this, Aunt Li's eyes lit up, and her face showed greed, she squeezed her veil tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Is it really as easy to make money as you say?" ”
"What am I lying to you for?" As he spoke, Zhuang Xinchuan looked at the door, turned his head and quietly stretched out four fingers
"Four thousand taels?" Aunt Li blinked
Zhuang Xinchuan sneered, "It's forty thousand taels, forty thousand taels a month!" ”
"Really?" Aunt Li cried out excitedly, the beads on her head couldn't help trembling, and the glow flickered, but it was far less shining than her eyes.
Zhuang Xinchuan looked at his mother proudly.
"Great! Son, you're so capable! Aunt Li excitedly slapped his arm resting on the table, but suddenly calmed down again, "You won't be discovered by your aunt, right?" ”
"That's why we need to win over Xinzhong and shut his mouth!"
Aunt Li sat up straight, raised her eyebrows, and sneered: "This matter is wrapped up in my mother, and it is so easy to take care of their three rooms!" ”
***
Although Qin Tian was very angry, she could only be stuffed in her stomach if she was angry again, could she ask Zhuang Xinyan, why didn't she save herself?
Forget it, although she thinks that she is very special as a crossing girl, but in the eyes of others, she is just a house slave!
Really, why do others cross into maids, and the young master will compete to flatter them, holding them as if they were treasures, and they are so unlucky? Real people are more popular than dead people!
Qin Tian scolded all the way, and Haifu next to her looked at her gritting her teeth, and couldn't help but take a few steps away from her......
Back in the courtyard, she followed Cuiwei, Yuhuan, and Bisi to serve dinner with the eldest lady and Zhuang Xinyan. When she cleaned her hands, Cuiwei said to her, "You go to the eldest young master, Mrs. has us here." ”
On weekdays, this kind of thing is responsible for following Zhuang Xinyan's Aoyagi or Lianxiang, but today I don't know what's going on, he didn't follow the maid by his side.
"Yes." Qin Tian was obedient on his face, but he was shouting in his heart, let me serve him! Believe it or not, I poured a basin of water on his head?
Of course I don't dare......
Bisi carried a basin of water with a copper basin, Qin Tian squatted aside, and after Zhuang Xinyan finished cleaning his hands, he wiped his hands with a white cloth.
Zhuang Xinyan lowered his eyes, raised his hands from the copper basin with a cold face, his slender hands were moistened by the water, like white jade, and the crystal clear water droplets slid down his fingertips along his delicate and smooth skin, dripping into the copper basin, causing ripples in circles.
The candlelight next to him reflected on his hands, the white nails, the dripping water droplets on the fingertips, and the bright copper basin all reflected the luster of the luster, and for a while he felt that there was golden light everywhere, shining together, like a perfect work of art.
How can a man even have such good-looking hands, how can a woman live......
Qin Tian looked at his slightly rough hands sadly,
Contrasting starkly......
Hmph, it's a little better! Qin Tian was amazed, and couldn't help but slander.
She wiped the droplets of water from his hands with a white cloth, and did not lift her head, and her movements were not gentle at all.
Zhuang Xinyan glanced at her lightly.
After serving, Qin Tian and the others all retreated, leaving only Yueniang and Haifu to serve beside them.
The eldest lady said to Yueniang while serving vegetables to Zhuang Xinyan: "The marriage of Xinzhong and Yanxing is already being prepared?" ”
Yueniang put a bowl of suckling pigeons in front of her wife, "The second aunt is already preparing." "It's just that it's quiet, and it can't be compared with the second young master at all.
The eldest lady was silent for a while: "How much did the second aunt's wife withdraw in the account?" ”
"One thousand taels."
This is indeed the rule of the concubine, the eldest lady sighed, "Yueniang, I will have dinner later, and I will send two thousand taels of silver to the third aunt in my account, Xinzhong and Yanxing are both sincere children, even if they can't be compared with Xinyan Xinchuan in marriage, they can't be wronged too much." ”
"Madam, no matter how hard you treat her, she also looks at the face of the second room." Yueniang couldn't help but say.
The eldest lady said: "She has followed the master since she was a child, and gave birth to a pair of children for the master. As the head of the family, I have to take care of it. Those things ......" Mrs. shook her head: "I can't blame her completely, she has her own problems." ”
"I hope the third aunt can understand Mrs. Ao's kindness." Yueniang whispered.
After dinner, Yueniang went to deal with the matter. In the house, Haifu placed the four treasures of the study room for the eldest wife, mother and son.
The eldest lady smiled at Zhuang Xinyan and said, "I really didn't read it wrong, Qin Tian is a rare talent, hardworking, motivated, humble and polite, and good-hearted." Tomorrow, I will begin to familiarize her with the business of the tea shop, and she will definitely become a useful person in the tea shop in the future. ”
Zhuang Xinyan wrote on the paper: "Mother, Qin Tian, this girl, don't believe it too early, it's better to watch it for a while." ”
The eldest lady was surprised: "Hasn't she already passed your test?" You're still not at ease? ”
"I saw her tangling with Nobukawa in the back garden."
The eldest lady was silent for a while, then shook her head: "No, Qin Tian is not such a child, maybe you are mistaken." ”
Zhuang Xinyan held the pen in his hand and stayed for a while, the ink on the tip of the pen dripped onto the rice paper, and an ink flower appeared
"Mother, I just can't hear it, but I can see it."
After a while, Zhuang Xinyan wrote these words on the paper, and his movements were very slow.
The eldest lady held his other hand, looked at him and said softly, "Nobuhiko, you are too sensitive and suspicious. ”
Zhuang Xinyan wrote on the paper again: "It's all because people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. When he looked back and saw that his mother disagreed, he wrote: "All mothers are in charge." ”
He put down his pen, turned to take his mother's hand, and smiled softly.
Those people, it doesn't matter if they hurt him, but they can't hurt his mother.
He will never forget how sad his mother sat on the edge of his bed, holding his hand, and cried when he was bedridden because of that incident
The mother cried and said, "It's all my mother's fault, my mother shouldn't have sent her to you without knowing anything, Nobuhiko, it's all my mother's fault, if anything happens to you, my mother shouldn't live." ”
Tears dripped down his hands and burned his heart.
He tried his best to keep himself from becoming a waste in everyone's mouth, but because he knew that he was the only one who could protect his mother in this world.
