Chapter 21: Wait and see

Aunt Zhou stopped writing.

"Yueniang." She said slowly, "She's been quite lively lately. ”

"yes." Ah Jin said, "Slave maid, young lady, she has finally woken up."

Aunt Zhou smiled.

"She—" she said, shaking her head, as she continued to pick up her pen and copy the scriptures, "has she ever woken up?" Why do I think she has been so scared that she hasn't slept since she entered our house, so how can she wake up? ”

Thinking of the young lady's appearance, Ah Jin was also a little speechless.

"I have long said that children from this kind of background, the foundation is bad in their bones, unless they wash the scriptures and cut the marrow, they can't help them, the old lady just doesn't listen, it's really like someone else said, she is confused, and even made a matter of asking for the holy decree to determine the marriage, I know that in Brother Cheng's family affairs, the old lady will definitely not let the slut have a good time, but this is too much, not only the slut is not happy, what benefits do we have?" Aunt Zhou said slowly, saying that she had thought that now, she had been copying Buddhist scriptures for three years, and her mood was still messed up, and her pen trembled slightly.

She easily said the title of thief woman, Ah Jin looked indifferent, and nodded slightly.

"A beggar! A beggar! No father, no mother, no relatives and no support, in addition to slapping the thief woman hard, he also injured his hand, so that the thief woman took revenge like crazy after her death, forcing us to be caught off guard and unable to fight back, if I had listened to my words and picked a good one for Brother Cheng, I would not have fallen into this situation now....." Aunt Zhou let out a sigh, put down her pen, and looked a little resentful, "Do you know what the thief woman gave to our Zhou family for this year's New Year's gift?" The old lady has only been gone for three years, and she dares to do this, my brother brings a letter to me to lose his temper, what can I do, don't I want to? Don't I want to be as beautiful as the old lady was in? ”

Ah Jin poured a cup of tea and brought it over.

"Auntie, be careful with your body." She whispered.

Aunt Zhou closed her eyes to ease her mood, took a sip of tea and exhaled.

"My body is fine, I not only have more love than the thief woman, I have more children than her, but I also have to die later than her, I will definitely raise my body well, I must watch her die first..."She said slowly, with a smile on her face.

"Grandma, I think the young lady is different this time." Ah Jin paused for a moment, but still said, "Anyway, she is also the person set by the old lady herself, and if you want to talk about it in this mansion, it is your aunt and grandmother who you can get close to, not to mention, where is her seat, you forget, the old lady put the housekeeper's brand directly into her hands, and only gave it to her three days after she got married, and then it was supported by your aunt, but I didn't expect the old lady to be so sudden, and the young lady cried and died like that, and she didn't listen to what the aunt said, Only then did the eldest lady seize the opportunity to take the stewardship..."

Aunt Zhou's hand clenched the teacup tightly and exhaled heavily.

"Let's not mention the past, what's the difference between being in her hands and in the hands of a dead man?" She said.

"But this time the young lady did a good job." Ah Jin said, "Now the whole house knows that the young lady has left Huangquan Road, and it was the old lady who pushed her back, since the old lady let her come back, it is natural for her to be in charge." ”

Aunt Zhou turned the teacup in her hand, listening to her words, and couldn't help but smile.

"Speaking of which, it's true," she looked at Ah Jin and smiled, "This girl would play such a trick, it's ridiculous to say, but it is undeniable that the more ridiculous it spreads, the deeper the impression will be..."

"Yes," Ah Jin said with a smile, "Also, I taught a girl a few mothers-in-law a lesson happily and cleanly, and Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Su were very surprised, and the eldest lady didn't say it, but secretly checked the house, is this still taboo?" After all, if the young lady wants to be a housekeeper, she really won't be able to handle it. ”

"It's been three years, it's late." Aunt Zhou said quietly.

"Auntie, it's not too late, it's been three years, although the old lady's people have been accepted by the eldest lady, but it doesn't let us see clearly, which ones are really usable, and which ones are just grass on the wall, and now those who are still thinking about the old lady, as long as the young lady calls, they will definitely die down."

"Although the thief woman has been married for eighteen years, she has been crushed to death by the old lady, and it has only been three years, even though she seems to hold the power of the Hou Mansion, but it is just a transplanted tree, the roots are shallow, if the wind is stronger..."

"Yes, so, look, is the slave going to Qiutong Temple? It's also good to look at the young lady's tone. Ah Jin asked.

Aunt Zhou didn't speak, and was silent for a moment.

"It's just that." She finally said, lifting the pen again, "Let's see, you look over there, but don't move, lest we set up the stage, and the drama will be hoarse, and then we will be hung on the stage." ”

Also, thinking about the young lady's consistent temperament, there is really this possibility, Ah Jin sighed.

"It's the slave who is too impatient." She said.

"Don't rush, take your time, it's been so long, and you still care about this day or two." Aunt Zhou said with a smile.

Ah Jin stopped talking, quietly studying the ink, and the Buddha incense curling up on the table spread in the room.

The day in June was very hot, especially when Aru saw the charcoal fire burning in the yard, he felt that the sweat on his body came down.

Ah Ruzheng was a little excited and excited to take over the barbecue work from Qi Yue.

"....There is an open fire and some water.." Qi Yue sat down on the beauty couch beside him, shaking a small fan, and commanding.

Here, Aru was in a hurry but with a smile on his face, he put all kinds of food on the wire, because the action was not skillful, and he was not burned to the point that he put his hand in his mouth and sucked.

"Aru, I'm done, you can taste it." Qi Yue greeted Aru with a smile when he saw it, pointing to the food on the small stone table next to him.

“… When it snows in winter, the ladies in the family also play with this..."Ah Ru said with a smile and walked over a few steps, but at that time, the cooks were busy, and the little girls didn't know how to do it, let alone such maids.

"We love to eat this more in summer...."Qi Yue said casually, she rented a house next to the hospital, with a small open-air platform, and when she didn't work night shifts in summer, colleagues and friends liked to gather here to eat, drink, complain about the heavy workload, and complain about the disobedient leaders of the patients.....

Aru, who reached out to light the lights in the yard, stopped slightly.

"Young lady, you can try this." Ah Hao held a string of tofu and shouted happily at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue leaned over and took it.

"Well, yes, put less salt.. It's time for the meat to turn over... Be careful..."

Ah Hao hissed and put his fingers in his mouth again, but he couldn't stop laughing.

"This is not to eat, but to have fun." Qi Yue smiled and lay back on the beauty couch.

The night was hazy and the stars were dotting.

Such a night sky is rare in the city, but after coming to Daqingshan, I am fortunate to see it often.

It's just that I didn't expect to look at the same starry sky again, but it is two time and space.

Qi Yue put his hands under his neck and looked at the night sky, not knowing what his relatives and friends were doing at this time, whether they were immersed in the grief of losing their loved ones, or continuing to live day after day, at this time, they were either walking on the way home from work, or taking over shifts to start rounds, or calling friends to start nightlife.

And everything that was once familiar has nothing to do with her, she is like sitting alone in front of the big screen, watching the bustling but untouchable.

Aru withdrew his gaze and lit the lanterns in the courtyard one by one.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Ah Hao's laughter, and Qi Yue's soul wandered out of the world.

There are very few visitors to Qiutong Courtyard, and because Qi Yue and Ah Hao always like to eat, some little girls are attracted in front of the door, but they are just a group of lowly-grade rough girls.

"Ahh A crisp female voice sounded outside the door.

"It's Caijuan." Ah Ru heard it and said, a little surprised.

"Who is Caijuan?" Qi Yue asked casually.

Ah Hao was just about to open her mouth, but someone outside the door answered for her.

"I'm Caijuan in the Third Young Master's Courtyard." The female voice said, knocking softly again.

Dingxi Hou had four sons, Qi Yue nodded, then ignored it, and then lay down and shook a small fan to look at the stars.

"Caijuan, why are you here?" Aru stepped forward to open the door.

Qi Yue looked sideways and saw that it was a girl who was about the same size as Ah Hao standing at the door, but she didn't step in.

"What else, I'm hooked by the scent..." Caijuan said with a smile, halfway through her words, she suddenly saw Qi Yue sitting in the courtyard, and by the light and starlight, she saw that the woman was lazy, if it wasn't for the small fan in front of her shaking, she would have thought she was asleep.

"Young lady," she shouted, leaning down in a bow.

Qi Yue didn't move, shaking her fan and smiling at her.

"But you want to try Ah Hao's craftsmanship?" She laughed.

"Ah Hao's craftsmanship is now very famous." Caijuan laughed at this funny.

Ah Hao, who was picking up two skewers, smiled proudly.

"It was taught by the young lady.," she opened her mouth to say.

Aru coughed.

"I'll give this to you." Ah Hao swallowed the unfinished words, and in order to cover up, he walked over and handed her the meat skewer in his hand.

Caijuan smiled and took it.

"Then you're welcome, I'm here for this, I just passed by, and I couldn't walk when I smelled the fragrance." She smiled and saluted Qi Yue again, "Young lady, don't laugh at me for being gluttonous." ”

"It's a great blessing to be able to eat and love to eat." Qi Yue smiled and sat up, "Aru, take this eggplant, garlic and chicken wings and taste them." ”

"Thank you so much, young lady." Caijuan said with a smile.

"It's really cheap for you, this is our young lady who bakes it herself..."Ah Hao said reluctantly, and was interrupted by Ah Ru before he finished speaking.

"The young lady opened her mouth to reward people, don't you want to be lazy, just bake some more for the young lady." Aru said with a smile.

Ah Hao nodded a little wryly.

Caijuan smiled and didn't speak, took a handful of skewers handed by Aru, thanked her again and turned around and walked away.

She quickly walked to the foot of a big tree not far away, and when she got closer, she saw a figure standing in the shade of the tree.

"Young Master." Caijuan called in a low voice.

Chang Yunqi stood in the shadow of the tree, and his eyes still fell on Qiutong Courtyard, and the gate was closing, covering the figure of the woman who was already a little strange.
