Chapter 63: Persuasion
On the first day after Mengxi was grounded, after serving the second master for dinner early in the morning, he came directly to Suxitang to ask for peace, and when the eldest lady saw her come in, her face sank and said:
"What time is it?"
When Mengxi heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground:
"The daughter-in-law serves the second master for dinner in the morning, and she is late, please punish the eldest wife"
"Jun'er has finished breakfast?"
The old lady glanced at the eldest lady and asked.
"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law often heard my mother say that it was a medicine that was poisonous, thinking that the second master would be cured from a long-term illness, although she still needed medicine, but it was better to make a medicinal meal in the morning, so it was late, and her granddaughter-in-law would definitely not be next time."
"Get up, just serve the second master"
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at the eldest lady and said.
"Jun'er's body hasn't recovered yet, let Xi'er serve him well first"
"Granddaughter-in-law Xie Lao Taijun is considerate"
After Mengxi finished speaking, she still knelt there and didn't get up, looking at the eldest lady.
"Don't spoil her, don't spoil her, people like us are no longer than the small doors, seeing that the day after tomorrow is going to worship the ancestral hall, how can everything be so unruly and undistant, it makes people laugh shamefully, be careful in the future, don't hear it, don't get up, don't hear the words of the old lady!"
"Your mother-in-law said that you are also for your good, Xi'er should be more careful in the future, get up quickly, the ground is cold."
Mengxi responded, and thanked the old lady, the eldest lady for her teachings, got up and sat down with the support of Zhiqiu, she was already in a cold sweat, this evil mother-in-law is clearly picking bones in eggs, your son is now alive and kicking, and he didn't come to ask for peace, I didn't see you say that he didn't have a regular distance, and being someone's daughter-in-law is really not a human job, although the salary is very high. Of course, Mengxi didn't dare to say it.
After Mengxi sat down, the eldest lady glanced at her, turned her head and said to the old lady:
"Right now, Concubine Jing has set a day for the second grandmother to worship the ancestral hall, it is said that the two of them should worship together, but firstly, Jun'er is very sick, and secondly, Jun'er's body has not yet recovered, Jun'er went to worship the ancestral hall, and it is not good to collide with the ancestors, old lady, you see..."
Mengxi calmly looked at her evil mother-in-law, she was doing everything she could to draw a line between herself and her son.
The old lady shook his head, nodded again, shook his head again, pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head and said:
"According to the daughter-in-law's wishes, find someone to teach Xi'er the rules of worshipping the ancestral hall after the morning, and let her go alone."
"The daughter-in-law will arrange it, the old lady has nothing else to do, and the daughter-in-law will retire first."
"Go ahead, Xi'er is here to chat for a while"
When the eldest lady heard the old lady say this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a spring breeze on her face, she got up and blessed the old lady, said goodbye, and walked out.
"What ingredients were used in the chicken Xi'er made in the morning, it tasted very good, but I couldn't think of what was put in it."
When the old lady saw that the eldest lady was gone, she chatted with Mengxi.
"I put Huang Jing, when my granddaughter-in-law was at her mother's house, I heard my mother say that Huang Jing has the effect of nourishing the qi, moistening the heart and lungs, and strengthening the muscles and bones. "
"It's hard for Xi'er to have such a heart, a few days ago, I came back late from the house and was grounded for three days, Xi'er won't blame Jun'er, right?"
"The old lady thinks too much, this is also the second master's good for his granddaughter-in-law, I am afraid that the granddaughter-in-law just entered the house and does not understand the rules, and it will be a big mistake to walk in the house in the future, the granddaughter-in-law understands the hard work of the second master, how can she complain about the second master?" It's strange to understand! Mengxi added another sentence in his heart.
"Xi'er can think like this, as the saying goes, this husband and wife quarrel, the end of the bed quarrels, young people come over like this, Jun'er is young and reckless, you let it go more, this husband and wife, everything must be good, don't be angry, it's not good to remember the grudge"
Your grandson is much older than me, why don't you tell him to let me! Dream Creek lined up.
"Daughter-in-law Sun understands, Xie Lao Taijun mentioned it, Lao Taijun's shoulders are uncomfortable? Granddaughter-in-law rubs you? ”
"Okay, good, it's still Xi'er intimate, and it's comfortable to rub" The old lady squinted happily.
"Xi'er's joke was very good before, let's listen to it again"
The old lady was pressed comfortably, remembered her joke, and said:
Mengxi thought for a while and said:
Once upon a time, a man was driving a donkey cart to cross the bridge. The arch at the head of the bridge was not high enough for the donkey cart to pass, so he picked up the rivet from the cart and began to beat the stones of the vault, but the stones were too hard, and it took a long time to knock them off.
Someone passed by and said, "There is such a fool in the world!" Wouldn't it be easier for you to dig out a layer of soil under the arch? ”
The driver was not convinced: "You are a fool!" It's not because the donkey's legs are too long to get by, it's because the donkey's ears are too long. ”
Then he turned to the donkey and said, "It's all your damned donkey ears!" ”
"The second grandmother is really a clever person, no wonder you haven't been here for the past two days, and the old lady has been chanting"
The waiter listened to it on the side, and couldn't help laughing, laughing enough, the waiter said smartly.
"But no, Xi'er is not only clever in her mouth, but also clever in her hands, this rubbing, the old body feels comfortable" The old lady also agreed.
"My granddaughter-in-law just read some idle books, just talk about it, the old lady likes it, and my granddaughter-in-law will often come to relieve your boredom in the future."
Seeing that the old lady was gradually falling asleep, the waiter took a blanket and gently covered the old lady, nodded to the second grandmother, and motioned for her to go back first, and Mengxi walked out in fear.
When Mengxi and Zhiqiu returned to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, the aunts had already come over to say goodbye, helped Zhiqiu into the hall, turned the screen, and saw that the second master did not go to the study today by making an exception, and was sitting in the hall chatting with a few aunts.
Mengxi actually had a feeling of being out of place for a while, wanted to turn around and go out, hesitated, and walked in slowly, the four aunts and Hongyu saw the second grandmother come in, and hurriedly got up and came over to greet him, Mengxi raised his hand to signal the aunts to get up, and slowly stepped forward to greet Xiao Jun:
"Second Master An"
"Get up, grandma is in good health today"
"The old lady is very energetic today, and said that the second master will only be raised in the courtyard, and if you want to eat, you can send someone to ask for it."
Damn, if you want to be really filial, go see it yourself, what are you doing here?
Mengxi straightened up as he spoke, and sat down on the chair next to the second master, the four aunts saw that the second grandmother was there, and they didn't dare to sit anymore, they all stood on both sides, and when the second master saw it, his face was slightly unhappy, coughed, and sat there pretending to be dumb.
Mengxi took all of this, but couldn't do it, took the tea handed by Hongzhu, took a sip gently, put down the teacup, and asked lightly:
"I just saw my aunt chatting happily, what did you say?"
"No, just as I was about to say, the second grandmother came in, the jade courtyard has been cleaned up, the second grandmother doesn't need to take a look, what is still missing, make up for it, see when Hongyu will move over?"
Aunt Wang glanced at the second master and stepped forward to say.
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li also looked at the second master, Xiao Jun was stunned when he heard this, put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Mengxi.
