Chapter 249: The Burrow's Courtyard

The maid couldn't be more clever, and immediately knew what she meant, covered her mouth and smiled: "After all, Mrs. has already brought the words, whether it is successful or not, it has nothing to do with Mrs. ”

"Not really." Yu's posture turned around elegantly, caressed the vermilion lacquer railing with one hand, and chuckled: "This head dislikes people's bad reputation, but that head is a nobleman above others, and the brain is not enough, and he still talks about people behind his back, and even asks people to listen to it, that's all, and now there is still a face to come up and call people to beat, it's really ......."

She shook her head, took a handkerchief and half-covered her lips, and chuckled: "Fortunately, it didn't pop out of my stomach, otherwise, I'm afraid I would be able to vomit a few mouthfuls of blood." ”

The maid smiled and said, "Madame is a very precious person, and what comes out of Madame's belly is naturally good." ”

This made Yu Shi laugh more and more, and seemed to be in a good mood, so he helped the little maid to the small hall in front of him, and continued to entertain the guests.

The weather at the beginning of February, the cold is still quite heavy, the spring banquet of Zhongyong Bofu did not last too long, only after the beginning of the Shen Dynasty dispersed, everyone said goodbye one after another, Wan and Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were thoughtful, both stood on the edge of the door, and sent the guests away with a smile on their faces.

The Ni family left a little late, and when they left, the Wan family's eyes were already a little tired.

greeted the guests all day long, and said a lot of words, even the younger Yu could not hide his tiredness, let alone the elderly Wan.

And Rao is like this, the Wan family also cheered up, pulled Ni Shi and said a lot of kind words, the words were very courteous, looking at her expression, it seemed that Chen Ying had just rejected Yu's matter, or knew but did not give up.

Chen Ying didn't care about this, and walked through the hall with the crowd, and a crying voice suddenly came from behind him: "Uncle...... Uh-huh......"

The abrupt voice ended with a whimper, as if the person who spoke had his mouth covered.

At this time, there were quite a lot of guests in front of the Yi Gate, everyone was surprised, and they followed the sound, but only saw a few figures hurriedly flashing behind the Hanging Flower Gate, as if they were two or three rough women, but it was only fleeting, and it was quiet again soon after the Hanging Flower Gate.

"This little girl, it's the hardest to regulate, it's good to play a few boards." Wan's face was as usual, his eyes didn't sweep in that direction at all, he sighed and turned to everyone, with a little shame on his face: "A few minions who are not successful have frightened the big guys." ”

Hearing this, many in the crowd showed thoughtful expressions, but no one asked more.

In the end, this is also in other people's houses, and these private affairs of the back house are not easy for outsiders to deal with.

It wasn't until the last carriage drove away from the gate of Bofu and the side door of Zhongyongbo's Mansion was closed that the smile on Wan's face faded cleanly.

"What's going on?" She asked Yu Shi on the side with a calm face, and the green tendons on her forehead protruded.

Before Yu could answer, he looked at both sides first, and said softly, "You guys go back and rest first." ”

Sister Lu Wanyin and the two young daughters-in-law were all there at this time, and when they heard this, they hurriedly bowed down and quickly left Yimen.

When they were far away, Yu frowned and said in a low voice: "The old lady forgives her sins, and the mother-in-law who guarded the door just now had a good head and asked someone to run out." ”

"What did she do when she ran out?" Wan Shi spoke as he walked back briskly, his face so gloomy that he could drip water.

Yu's expression was sluggish, and then he hurriedly followed, and said respectfully: "Back to the old lady, I heard that it was her grandmother's injury that recurred, she couldn't sit still, and she wanted to go out to ask for a doctor." ”

Wan Shi didn't speak, but the cheek muscles tensed for a moment, and the hand on the little girl's shoulder was even harder.

The sharp and long nails pierced the little girl's clothes in an instant. Fortunately, the clothes were very thick this season, and the flesh was not pierced this time, and Rao was like this, the little girl still had a white face in pain, and her body trembled, but she bit her lip desperately and didn't dare to say anything.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked north along a path behind the Hanging Flower Gate, bypassing the garden and the large number of houses, until they walked to a deserted courtyard in the northernmost corner.

In front of the gate of the courtyard, there were two mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists, and when they saw her two coming, they hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to salute: "Say hello to the old lady, hello to the lady." ”

Yu waved his hand and motioned for them to step back, while stepping forward to hold Wan's arm, replacing the little girl, and said softly: "Old lady, why don't you take care of your daughter-in-law, you are tired for a day today." ”

When Wan Shi heard this, he closed his eyes weakly, and in an instant, fatigue surged up, almost drowning her.

At that moment, she looked as if she was several years older, and a few gray strands of hair slid down her sideburns and fell down her cheeks, showing more and more depression.

"It's better for me to come, you're young and careless." She said slowly, her face gradually falling cold, and she raised her hand to the two mothers-in-law with a calm face.

The two mothers-in-law understood, stepped forward to open the lock on the courtyard door, and opened the door.

It was a very small courtyard, very shabby, except for two dilapidated houses, only one of which was deserted.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the main room, they saw a young girl wearing a homely jacket and a ring bun, being guarded by two mothers-in-law in the house, and a woman who looked like a housekeeper was taking a cloth towel out of her mouth.

The girl's hairpins were messy, her face was gray from east to west, and her skirt was torn in a few places.

As soon as she saw Wan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law enter the house, the girl immediately pounced on her like a desperate person, and the two mothers-in-law stopped her by pulling and pulling, so she struggled to kneel on the ground, touched the ground with her head, and cried "Bang Bang" and cried: "Uncle and grandmother, cousin, please, please save my grandmother, she is dying...... Her injuries were already severe...... Please, please have a doctor come and take a look at my grandmother. ”

She wept so hard that Wan sat on the armchair brought by the servant, and looked down at her, his eyes cold and unmoved. Yu stood beside her with his head half-bowed, also silent.

In the room full of household goods, piled up with brocade and treasure tent bead curtains, it looks much more gorgeous than its appearance, and the room is also very warm, and there is a big charcoal basin in the corner, and the charcoal in it is as white as frost, which is actually good.

The girl's cry echoed intermittently through the room, but there was no sound beyond that.
