Chapter 179 Serial (2)
Mrs. Zhao sat on the pestle that Mrs. Gong had started. Holding a pastel tea bowl in his hand, he talked to Mrs. Gong about some interesting things in the countryside, and from time to time glanced at Gong Jingqi, who was sitting listlessly on the side. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that Gong Jingqi's clothes were too luxurious, and the hair ornament on her head was too eye-catching, what was she doing shiny? The girl's home should still be dignified and generous, simple and practical, and I have to talk about it later.
Second Mrs. Gong saw that Mrs. Zhao's eyes were not good, so she hurriedly found some topics to talk about, trying to divert Mrs. Zhao's attention. Gong Jingqi still didn't realize it, got up irritably and walked to the window, pulled the drawstring on the Xiangfei curtain and shook it a few times, and the Xiangfei curtain made a soft "pop" sound.
Mrs. Zhao finally couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Third Miss, this is tired, right?" These rural slang things that the old slave said are really strange and boring. We old ladies often scold the old slaves for being annoying. ”
Gong Jingqi acted as if she hadn't heard, and just lowered her head and pulled the rope to play.
Mrs. Zhao's old face couldn't hold back, she coughed hard, looked at Second Mrs. Gong, and said with a sneer: "The old slave really has a broken mouth that annoys people." ”
Second Mrs. Gong was very angry in her heart, something. Dare to run to her house to spread wild? But in order not to make Gong Jingqi sad in the future, she didn't dare to offend this old pious woman. I could only smile with a stiff face: "What did Mom say?" It's because I've been sick for a long time these days, and she's been waiting by her side, and she's so tired that it's inevitable that she doesn't belong to her thoughts. He turned around and shouted Gong Jingqi: "Qi'er, what are you doing?" Mother Zhao is talking to you, and you can't hear me? ”
Gong Jingqi woke up like a dream, hid the impatience in her eyes, turned around and smiled: "I'm really sorry, the summer is a little heavy today, I'm a little uncomfortable, I neglected my mother, and asked my mother not to care." ”
Mrs. Zhao was a little happier at this time, and said a home remedy: "The third lady tried the salty mung bean soup, this method is very good." ”
Gong Jingqi hurriedly said: "It's still my mother who is well-informed and experienced, so I'll ask someone to do it in the kitchen." After only a few steps, Second Mrs. Gong called her with a stern look in her eyes: "Come back quickly, Mother Zhao is a rare visit, you have to talk to her well." ”
Gong Jingqi responded, walked out of the curtain slowly, looked around, and found a little maid who had a good relationship with Aunt Zhu, and explained in a low voice: "You go to the kitchen and tell Aunt Zhu to ask for salty mung bean porridge, and then you go to the account room." Let's just say that Mrs. invited the big * grandmother to dinner, and asked her to come. ”
The little maid snorted: "What if the big * milk refuses to come?" "She's not stupid, if the big * grandmother is willing to accompany this annoying old woman, she came with the third lady before, where is the use of inviting again?
Gong Jingqi's face sank: "That's your business, you have to invite her to me anyway." If you can't do anything like this, what are you minions going to do? ”
The little maid went to the kitchen with a calm face, looking for Aunt Zhu and said that she wanted salty mung bean porridge, Aunt Zhu saw that her face was not good-looking, and smiled and stuffed a bowl of rock sugar lotus seed soup to her: "Look at you, it's weirdly hot, you have to run up and down, there is still a day for dinner, eat some at the bottom first, and cool off." ”
The little maid said worriedly: "Aunt Xie is kind, the slave still has something." ”
Aunt Zhu said with a smile: "What's the matter, see if you're in a hurry, tell me." ”
The little maid said: "Madame wants to let the big * milk accompany the mother of the Su family, but the big * milk refuses to come, and the third lady has to ask the slave to invite the big * milk." Everyone knows that although the big * milk is full of smiles, it is actually the most difficult to get along. What should I do if I call a slave? ”
Aunt Zhu's heart moved, and she smiled: "You said that the big * grandmother refused to go? ”
The little maid said: "The third lady was with the big * milk before, if she was willing to come, she would have come a long time ago." Isn't that embarrassing? He took a sip in a low voice, "There are good things on weekdays, and everyone surrounds them like flies, and if there are drudgeries, they all run away without a trace, and I am unlucky!" ”
Aunt Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "What's the matter, I'll help you go on this trip!" ”
The little maid was overjoyed: "Auntie and grandmother are the most kind." ”
Aunt Zhu smiled faintly: "It's just a gesture." What's wrong with Mother Zhao's picking the third miss today? ”
The little maid covered her mouth and laughed, and whispered in Aunt Zhu's ear, Aunt Zhu listened with a smile and said, "You find a place to avoid, I'll go to the account room to ask for a big * milk." He instructed the cook and went to the bookkeeper.
said that the golden hairpin walked back and forth in the courtyard with a fan, looking out from time to time, and suddenly saw Aunt Zhu walking slowly alone, and hurriedly ran to the door to inform Ming Fei: "Grandma, Aunt Zhu is here." What to do? ”
Ming Fei asked if she was alone, and said, "Let's see what she does, you two can do whatever you want to do for me, don't panic and let her see it." ”
After a while, Aunt Zhu walked in with a smile on her face: "Don't look at the big * milk, Madame, please come over for dinner." ”
Ming Fei said in surprise: "It's so decent, why do you suddenly want me to go over to eat?" She pointed to the stacked account books on the table, and said embarrassedly: "Auntie, you see, there are so many account books, and it will be troublesome to move them back." If I can't go, I won't go. ”
Aunt Zhu affectionately took her hand: "Big * milk, it's the third lady's mother-in-law's mother-in-law, I heard that you are Miss Cai's family, and our eldest son is from Shujishi, and I want to kowtow to you." You have to go to the scene in front of your wife. ”
Gong Jingqi came to invite repeatedly, and Aunt Zhu also came to join in the fun, what are you thinking? It seems that if you stick to this place, it will be weird. Ming Fei said simply: "It's okay, since that's the case, I'll take a trip." Aunt with me? ”
Aunt Zhu smiled: "I can't do it, there is a mess in the kitchen waiting for me to do, so let's go first." I'll come later. Staring at Ming Fei's eyes, he asked in a low voice, "Big * milk, that key?" ”
Ming Fei reached into his sleeve, held the broken side of the key tightly in his palm, only glanced at the handle of the key, and replied in a low voice: "I looked too closely, and I haven't done it yet." I had just managed to get rid of the mother-in-law who was watching the yard, and I was about to do it, when you came. It's just right, if you delay a little longer, let's open the lock together. "After that, I'll go to Aunt Zhu.
Aunt Zhu stood still and said with a smile: "Hurry up early, not late." There are a lot of things going on today, so let's change the time. Madame took precautions tightly, but she was afraid that she would soon have to invite someone again, and if she bumped into it, she would fall short. ”
Ming Fei said regretfully: "It's so easy to wait for the opportunity." Although you remember the details of your account book, in the end it was only you who did it, if you find clues in it, and then follow the vine, she will definitely have nothing to say at that time. ”
Aunt Zhu smiled: "Don't be in a hurry at this time, let's go." ”
Ming Fei instructed the golden hairpin: "You stay here and pack up the account books, and when the uncle arrives, go to the lady to find me." ”
The golden hairpin will know. Nod your head.
Aunt Zhu said curiously: "Is the eldest prince also coming?" ”
"I wanted to stay a little longer, but I was afraid of the dark, so I sent someone to call him to pick me up, and it was probably almost there." Ming Fei affectionately took Aunt Zhu's hand, "Auntie, let's go together." ”
Aunt Zhu retracted her hand and smiled dryly: "Big * milk, I ......"
Ming Fei knew that she meant to avoid suspicion, so as not to let people see that the two were too affectionate and spread to the ears of Second Mrs. Gong, so she smiled: "Auntie is always so careful. ”
Aunt Zhu smiled, said goodbye to Ming Fei, walked halfway to look around, and quickly turned back. Seeing the mother-in-law guarding the account room from a distance, the two glanced at each other and walked into the bamboo forest not far away.
When Second Mrs. Gong heard that Fei was coming, she asked Gong Jingqi in a low voice unhappily, "Why is she here?" ”
Gong Jingqi was surprised ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
