Chapter 228: Huo's Mama
"Auntie...... Third Master. Mother Luo had already seen Chen Ying at this time, so she hurriedly stopped talking and walked over with a smile: "Master, are you done?" ”
"It's a little while." Chen Ying replied, his gaze sweeping over the old woman.
Coincidentally, at this time, the old woman also turned to look over, and in front of Chen Ying's eyes, a slightly dark and thin face appeared, with kind eyebrows and eyes, but the lines of the jaw were sharp, which showed that the killing was decisive back then, and now that she is old, she is also very sharp.
"The old slave has seen Chen Sanye." The old woman bowed to Chen Ying in a non-standard official language.
Chen Ying didn't know her, and she didn't dare to accept her courtesy, so she avoided it sideways, and Na Luo's mother stepped forward and said softly: "If you go back to your master, this grandma is Mama Huo next to the little marquis, and the last time I was in the Siyi Hall, the slave and maid went to the ready-to-wear shop outside to buy clothes, and it was Mama Huo who helped the slave and maid take care of it, and it was the slave and maid who knew her." ”
It turned out that this was Mama Huo.
Chen Ying has heard this name for a long time, it is said that this Huo Mama grew up watching Pei Shu, since Pei Shu's grandmother went, the master and servant have been dependent on each other in the huge Hou Mansion.
"It turned out to be Mama Huo, I was disrespectful." Chen Ying nodded to Mama Huo,
Mama Huo laughed and said, "The old slave disturbed the peace of the third master, and the third master forgave the sins." He coughed twice.
Seeing this, Chen Ying turned around and lifted the curtain: "Mama, please come in, it's snowing outside." ”
Mama Huo waved her hand busily, grinned her teeth, and said with a smile: "Don't torture the old slave, this is a little snowy, it's not in the way." ”
Before she could finish speaking, she coughed again, and two abnormal flushes welled up on her cheeks, which looked a little sickly.
Mother Luo was very fond of her love, so she persuaded her from the side at this time: "Come in, Mama, the little marquis hasn't come here yet, let's warm up first." ”
Chen Ying also said: "Mama, come in and drink hot tea, it's still quite cold today." ”
Seeing that the two of them were so polite, Mama Huo couldn't push it anymore, so she walked over with broken steps, and Mama Luo hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said, "You can be slower, the ground is very slippery." ”
Chen Ying raised the curtain higher, and Mama Huo said "I can't help it", but Luo's mother was very powerful, and forced her into the house, and picked a clean cup to pour tea for her, and Chen Ying invited her to sit by the fire to keep warm.
How old is Mama Huo, after sitting down, Fang felt that her hands and feet were frozen, so she beat a pair of old legs with her hand, and said self-deprecatingly: "Let the third master see the smile, the old slave's old bones, now it is really not very useful, it has really become a burden." ”
Luo's mother smiled and said, "Hey, where is this, your body is strong when you look at it, and you are blessed." ”
Chen Ying also said: "Mama Huo is in good spirits and will definitely live a long life." ”
When she said this, her voice was very soft.
It can be seen that this Mama Huo should have heard of her for a long time, and from the time she saw her to the present, the old man has not shown the slightest surprise, and his expression is very calm, which shows that Pei Shu has told everything about today.
"The old slave came out to buy it today." Xu was afraid that Chen Ying would be puzzled, so Mama Huo said with a smile at this time: "Because the Hou Ye is about to leave Jinan Mansion, the old slave thinks that he must bring some soil rituals back to give them to others, so as not to make people say that the Hou Mansion is rude, and the Hou Ye is impatient with these, so he will hand them over to the old slave Zhang Luo." It happened that the Hou Ye went out today, so he asked the old slave to follow the car, and bought the things back by the way, so as not to run alone again. ”
Chen Ying didn't say anything, and Luo's mother praised there without saying anything: "The little marquis is so kind-hearted, and he pities the old and the poor, you really met a good master." ”
These words went straight to Mama Huo's heart, she couldn't help but smile, and laughed with a wrinkle on her face: "Isn't that exactly what you say, the old slave has really fallen into a blessed nest." ”
Mother Luo followed her and said a lot of auspicious words, and she couldn't help but be happy when she heard it, and for a while there was a lot of laughter in the house, but it was much more lively when Pei Shu was there.
After some more gossip, Mama Huo gradually retracted her smile, moved her body in her seat with a little anxiety, and said, "The old slave now has something I want to ask the third master, I don't know what I can do?" ”
Her expression was quite apprehensive, and her voice was a little lower.
Chen Ying smiled and said, "I made it." As he spoke, he gestured to Luo's mother.
Luo's mother understood, quietly retreated, and covered the door.
Mama Huo put down the teacup, sat up straight, and asked, "When the old slave just entered the courtyard, he was walking out with Hou Ye, although the old slave's eyes were not good, but he also saw that Hou Ye's spirit seemed to be a little ...... Not so good. The old slave asked a lot, is something wrong? ”
As she spoke, she stared at Chen Ying tightly, her eyes showing a strong sense of concern, and she could even be said to be a little nervous, as if she was afraid that Chen Ying would say something bad.
It seems that the relationship between Mama Huo and Pei Shu is really like a relative, as in the legend.
secretly thinking in her heart, Chen Ying didn't hide it, and said everything that could be said, even including her going to build a girls' school, and told her about it. After all, even if she doesn't say these things, Pei Shu should tell Mama Huo later, but it's better to simply say it.
Listening to Chen Ying's words, Mama Huo didn't show much surprise, she only sighed lowly, her face was a little gloomy: "The old slave just said, why is the Hou Ye's aura like that, but it turned out that the deceased eldest girl was mentioned." ”
Her expression became sad, her two faint eyebrows drooped downward, and the furrow on her face seemed to have deepened a lot: "It's not that the old slave has a broken mouth, the big girl's life is really ...... Poor tight. ”
As she spoke, she sighed again, lifted her sleeve and wiped the corner of her eye.
Chen Ying stared at her, but didn't ask.
The reason why human beings have the function of forgetting is to let themselves forget their grief and start anew.
Pei Shu's seemingly understated tone before, as well as Mama Huo's sadness at the moment, all show that the death of Miss Pei back then was a very worrying past.
Chen Ying didn't want to easily uncover the dusty scars, that would be too cruel.
However, Mama Huo began to speak again at this time, and what she said was the opposite of what Chen Ying thought.
"Since the Hou Ye told the third master about this, the old slave felt that the details in it were afraid that the third master would be able to listen to it." She said, without hesitation in her tone, but full of certainty and even eagerness: "Even the old slave himself feels that the third master is a person who is easy to get close to, and those things have been told to you, and you won't laugh at it if you think about it." ”
