Chapter 67: The Zhao Family's Affairs
The girl in red was also stunned when she saw Sanniang and Wang Jing, and then raised her eyebrows.
"Why is the black charcoal face here?"
"Presumptuous." Liu shouted: "This is your cousin, who taught you to be neither big nor small?" ”
Zhao Hui'er on the side pouted when she heard this: "She is also so big or small to my cousin on weekdays. ”
Liu's eyes glared at Zhao Hui'er fiercely, and Zhao Hui'er was so frightened that she subconsciously hid behind Zhao Fan.
"Mother, don't be angry, don't be angry again." Zhao Xiuniang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Liu rub her chest.
"Yue'e! Why don't you come and make amends to your cousin. Zhao Xiuniang shouted at Shen Yue.
Shen Yue'e was dissatisfied and wanted to reply, but when she looked up, she saw Liu's hand shaking unconsciously, biting her lip, and bowing neatly to Wang Jing.
"I'm sorry, cousin, it's all my fault."
Wang Jing was frightened by her headless movements and took a step back.
Seeing her stiff voice, Liu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
"Where are you doing this? Come up and greet your cousin. ”
Shen Yue'e obediently stepped forward and greeted Wang Jing and Sanniang.
"Where have you met?" Liu Shi looked at Wang Jing and asked.
Wang Jing touched his head when he heard the words and looked at Sanniang.
Sanniang saw that Zhao Xiuniang looked over with some concern, and smiled at Liu: "When I entered the mansion, my brother was offended because he didn't know his cousin." ”
Wang Jing didn't say anything when he heard this.
Liu glanced at Sanniang and Wang Jing, and then looked at Shen Yue, who was bowing her head and playing with her fingers, but after all, she didn't pursue it again.
Liu pulled Sanniang and Wang Jing to talk on the couch again, and before he said a few words, he heard someone outside report that the uncle was back.
After a while, they saw Li and a man with a square face and thick eyebrows walking in, Sanniang and Wang Jing knew that this was their uncle, so they stepped forward to salute again.
Zhao Shouye asked Wang Jing's homework with a smile, and asked Sanniang's daily pastime.
"Mother. The kitchen is already stocked. Li stepped forward and said with a smile.
Liu nodded lightly and said, "Let's set the table." ”
The dining room is located in the front hall of Liu's courtyard, and a round table with mahogany inlaid marble for 20 people is equipped with a variety of dishes.
"Tomorrow I'll change the table and change it to a smaller one. Sitting lively. Liu pointed to the table and said to Li.
Li said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law has also thought about replacing this table, and the daughter-in-law remembers that there is a round table with a red sandalwood cloud bat pattern in the courtyard where Xiuniang lives, which is one size smaller than this." It's a waste to put it empty in that yard, and tomorrow's daughter-in-law will let people change it here. ”
Liu said lightly: "Xiuniang lives in that courtyard. How is it wasted? She doesn't need it? ”
Li glanced at Liu carefully and said, "Look I'm confused, my daughter-in-law thinks that Xiuniang is still living now, and she will be idle again when she returns home." The courtyard was supposed to be for Hui'er to live in, and her little girl didn't need the table, so it was a waste to put it away. ”
Hearing this, Liu nodded and said, "The courtyard is bigger, and Hui'er's little girl is not needed for the time being, so it's better to leave it to Xiuniang and Yue'e." ”
Li was stunned when he heard this. Hurriedly said: "The daughter-in-law is talking about the table, not the yard." ”
Liu pretended not to hear, and led Sanniang and Yue'e to sit on the table.
Li glanced at Zhao Shouye, but Zhao Shouye just lowered his head to talk to Zhao Fan, and Li was so angry that he almost tore the handkerchief in his hand.
Zhao Xiuniang kept her head down and didn't speak.
The Zhao family didn't seem to have a different table for men and women, so the family gathered around a table to eat.
Sanniang sat next to Liu, Liu's hand kept putting vegetables into Sanniang's bowl, Sanniang didn't say a word, what Liu sandwiched she ate.
After a meal, Sanniang felt that she was a little supportive. Liu was very happy.
After eating, Zhao Shouye sat for a while, and then a steward came to him to discuss the matter of checking the accounts, and Li accompanied him for a while and left with the two children, and there were only Sanniang Wang Jing and Zhao Xiuniang mother and daughter left in the Sun courtyard.
"Mother. Eat a ginkgo pill, your mood is a little more ups and downs today. Zhao Xiuniang found a medicine bottle and said to Liu.
"You're just going to stare at me every day and take my pills! Life and death, wealth and wealth are all fate, what can't you see? Liu glared at Xiuniang.
When Zhao Xiuniang heard this, she couldn't help covering her mouth and sobbing.
"Mother, you should think it is for me and Yue'e, take care of yourself. If you have any three long and two short, Yue'e and I might as well go with you. ”
"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Liu raised the crutches in his hand and beckoned to Zhao Xiuniang, but when he saw that he was about to hit Zhao Xiuniang, he was biased and knocked on the ground.
"Bring the medicine." In the end, Liu exhaled angrily.
Zhao Xiuniang stepped forward and waited for Liu to take the pill.
"I heard that Imperial Doctor Jiang, who cured the stroke of the concubine Niangniang, followed Prince Li to Yanzhou, if he can be invited to see his mother, maybe his mother's illness will be cured." Xiuniang took the medicine bottle into her arms.
Liu shook his head and said: "We are not relatives of the emperor, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, how can the imperial doctor be so easy to invite?" What's more, it is rumored that although this Imperial Doctor Jiang is known as the holy hand of the country, he only cares about studying pharmacology and refuses to see a doctor easily. Last time, the father of the governor of Liangguang was sick and wanted to ask him for a doctor, but no one could be found. ”
Sanniang listened to it but secretly raised her eyebrows, she had also heard of this Imperial Doctor Jiang when she was in Puji Town last time.
"Don't worry, I can survive for several years with this life, and I can't die." Liu Shi paused and said, "I heard that the Shen family is here today?" What are they here for? ”
Zhao Xiuniang bowed her head and was silent when she heard this.
Seeing this, Liu raised the cane in his hand again.
"Grandmother, they came to deliver clothes to me and my mother, and by the way, we were told that the yard where we lived had been moved to the newly married third cousin for a new house, and asked us to live in the back courtyard after we went back." Shen Yueniang suppressed her anger and said.
Liu closed his eyes when he heard this: "If Shen Erlang hadn't fallen out with the people in the big house when the old lady of the Shen family died, it wouldn't be like this now." ”
Zhao Xiuniang couldn't help crying again: "That's also because the people in the big house deceived people too much, and they stole the old lady to Erlang's jewelry shop to change the pillars." If they hadn't done this, Erlang wouldn't have taken a boat to go to sea to do business in order to fight for a breath...... Woo......"
Liu sighed, reached out and touched Zhao Xiuniang's hair: "This is all fate, your fate is not good." Before you and your eldest sister got married, I calculated the hexagram for you, but none of them were easy to hang, and the signatures you asked for were all signed. ”
The atmosphere in the house was not good, and Mama Zeng, who was beside the Zhao family, came to report that someone from the Wang family had come to pick up the young master and young lady.
Because when Mama Zhang sent someone to report the news, she said that Sanniang and Wang Jing would live in the Wang family's courtyard, so Liu didn't say anything when she heard it, but just told her to be careful on the road, and the carriage should be slower.
Sanniang and Wang Jing listened patiently, until Liu couldn't think of anything to pay attention to, so they gave up.
Mama Zeng smiled and said, "Old lady, don't be reluctant, let the little master and the little lady hurry back to rest, they are tired from traveling today." They'll come to see you tomorrow. ”
"You don't have to rush to come tomorrow, you can come whenever you want when you wake up. I didn't get up early. Liu Shi said immediately.
Finally, when Liu's explanation was finished, Mama Zeng sent Sanniang and Wang Jing out of Sun's yard.
"Grandma just find a little maid to lead us out, and grandmother still needs someone to serve us." Out of Liu's yard, Sanniang said.
"Yes, it's important to serve your grandmother. And the road is also dark on this road, and it is inconvenient for you to see the road when you are too old. Wang Jing also said.
Hearing this, Mama Zeng glanced at Wang Jing and said softly: "The little young master and the little young lady are both good-natured, just like the eldest lady back then. ”
Sanniang said: "Mama must have been by my grandmother's side for many years, right?" ”
"Yes, I accompanied the old lady's family into the Zhao family, and later my daughter served the eldest lady again. It's just that she is three years older than the eldest lady and can't marry, so she married someone early in the morning. Mama Zeng sighed.
When Mama Zeng saw a little girl about ten years old who had just entered the courtyard from outside, she beckoned to her, and the girl quickly came over.
"Yingge, this is the fifth young master and the third young lady of the Wang family, you come to see a salute." Mama Zeng said.
When Yingge heard this, she hurriedly bent down and saluted.
Sanniang saw that her face was very delicate, especially a pair of eyes, although they were not big, they were very clear under the bright lamp. The demeanor is also very generous and quiet, and I can't help but have a good impression of her.
"Yingge is my granddaughter, and my hard-working daughter is the only one child left." The courtyard gate is ten feet, and it is as bright as day with lanterns, and Mama Zeng's voice makes people listen to it very gloomy.
"Yingge, you lead the fifth young master and the third young lady out." Mama Zeng quickly restrained her emotions and said to Yingge.
"Yes, Mama." Yingge nodded in response, half a step ahead, and led the way sideways.
Sanniang said goodbye to Wang Jing, and Mama Zeng followed behind Yingge with the maids.
The figures of Sanniang and Wang Jing were gradually engulfed by the darkness in the distance, but Mama Zeng stood in place and did not move. Her lips were slightly dull and dry, but there was no expression on her face.
"Where did you go on an errand?" Sanniang asked Yingge.
"The slave and maid are in charge of the old lady's clothes for the four seasons in the old lady's room." Yingge laughed.
Sanniang was slightly surprised, generally speaking, the people who are in charge of jewelry and clothes are the big girls in the room, and Yingge is only about ten years old when she does the errand of the big girl in Liu's room, but is it.
But thinking about her great-grandmother's granddaughter, her personality is also quiet and likable, and she thinks it is reasonable.
When they arrived at the second gate, the carriage was already waiting, and it was Mama Zhang who came to pick up people.
Yingge saw that the person had been delivered, so he made a salute and turned around.
Sanniang and Wang Jing got into the car.
Along the way, Wang Jing seemed a little silent, Sanniang looked at him a few more times, and did not ask rashly.
In the end, Wang Jing couldn't hold it back, scratched his head and said, "Sister, you're right, I shouldn't have said that people are wrong today without asking." It's not Yue'e's cousin's fault. ”
Sanniang smiled: "Then will you think twice about doing things in the future?" Won't you rush out? She is most afraid that Wang Jing's straight nature will cause him trouble, and this kind of character is easy to be taken advantage of.
Wang Jing nodded again and again: "Sister, don't worry, I won't be so impulsive in the future." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
