Chapter 203: Friction
Fu Tingyun caught a glimpse of the coachman who was parked in front of Wu's house in the corner of her eyes, and then looked at the enthusiastic smiling face of Mrs. Wu's personal mother in front of her, and thought of those pots of heavy flowers and trees, she suddenly felt a narrow heart - Mrs. Wu likes to say beautiful things when she meets people, but she can't hide if there is anything embarrassing. Since you've learned your wife's set thoroughly, don't blame me for not being polite......
The thought flashed, and Fu Tingyun said solemnly: "I'm worried that these pots of flowers and trees are not easy to move!" In this way, I bother my mother to help call a few rough mothers-in-law to help us! ”
Not to mention Mrs. Wu's mother, but the crowd standing in front of Wu's house was stunned when they heard it.
Everyone heard that the so-called help was just a kind word, and they never thought that Fu Tingyun would take it seriously...... But these words have already been spoken, how can they regret it?
Mrs. Wu's mother had no choice but to smile and respond, "Okay." He ordered a little maid beside him: "Why don't you go and call a few mothers-in-law to come out and move flowers and trees for Mrs. Zhao." ”
The little maid looked a little frightened and stepped back and shouted.
Fu Tingyun thanked Mrs. Wu's personal mother: "... I just came back from Fengtai, and when I change my clothes, I'll go and thank Mrs. Wu! ”
"Maybe it's just a trivial matter," the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, Mrs. Wu's personal mother put her grievances aside, and smiled and entertained Fu Tingyun, "Mrs. Zhao is polite." ”
Forty Lent, who had been standing quietly next to them when they spoke, listened, and glanced at Fu Tingyun again.
The car man who gave way to Fu Tingyun shouted "Okay".
Zheng San thanked him again and again, and shouted at the hired carriage to come over.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but be drawn to it.
The hired carriage driver carefully reined in the reins several times and tried to let the carriage come, but he listened to the sound of the branches of the flower tree rubbing against the carriage in front of the Wu family, and retreated several times.
Zheng San was a little anxious when he saw it, he pulled down the coachman who hired the carriage, and said, "I'm coming!" ”
Come on, the flowers and trees that hurt me have nothing to do with me!
The hired coachman wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt relieved.
Zheng San drove the carriage halfway and didn't dare to go forward, he drank the coachman of the carriage in front of the door: "Brother, bother to move to the side again!" ”
The coachman was reluctant to listen to Mrs. Wu's personal mother calling Fu Tingyun "Mrs." "I know that there is no decree in my body, otherwise, it is the "widow" of the seventh grade, and the neighbors will raise each other and cry out more and more" Mrs. I was even more unhappy in my heart, and I couldn't help pouting when I heard this, and said impatiently: "My carriage is all against the wall, where do you want me to move?" ”
Fu Tingyun listened and looked towards the carriage.
The carriage was two or three feet from the wall.
She was a little displeased.
Zheng San knew that he was troublesome to others, but the carriage was halfway through, and it was not easy for the front wheel to be caught in the middle, so he smiled with a little apology and a little flattery: "Why don't you come down and rest?" I'll try to stagger the two wagons..."
The coachman smiled coldly, but remained silent.
Zheng San's smile was a little more embarrassed, and he whispered, "Please ask my brother for a favor!" ”
The coachman glanced at the forty-year-old woman, saw that the forty-year-old woman frowned slightly, became more and more bold, squinted at Zheng San, and said condescendingly: "What do you mean by this?" Brother, I have been driving for decades, and the people who have been in it are either rich or expensive, they are not some well-informed and decent people, who doesn't give a thumbs up and praise my brother for how well my car is ······"
Fu Tingyun saw that the coachman glanced at the forty-year-old woman, but the woman was silent, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, and ordered Zheng San: "Since the carriage can't come, then you can move a basin of flowers and trees to your home!" ”
The coachman couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, revealing a little fierceness.
Mother Shu has arrived at the gate of the Wu family, and she is going back, there are more than ten or twenty pots of flowers and trees in the carriage, all of which are luxuriant, and if a basin is moved to the house, it will take at least half an hour. If the carriage of the flower tree did not get stuck and came in halfway, it would be better to say that he drove the carriage out of the alley. But now the carriage of the flower tree was stuck in the middle of the waist, and he either gave way to let them pass, or he was stuck here and there.
Give way to them, he has already said before that the car can no longer be moved, and if he changes his words, he will inevitably be suspected of embarrassing them. It's okay to say that Shu's mother is not there······ If someone takes advantage of the reputation of the Yu family to cause trouble outside, not only will the Yu family not come out, but the three aunts and six relatives who are on an errand in the Yu family will all be implicated and driven away······ It would be bad if the mother said it to the lady. If they don't give way, will they just wait for half an hour, watching them finish moving the flowers and trees and then can't go?
No matter, when Shu's mother and the others got into the carriage, he drove the car out of the alley.
Whether the flower tree is dead or alive, what does it have to do with him?
It wasn't he who drove the car between the two cars.
After making up his mind, he opened his mouth to call out to his mother, but Mrs. Zhao's hearty voice came from his ears: "Zheng San, you tell those who move flowers and trees to be careful, that poinsettia cost me a hundred taels of silver, and that purple magnolia is not cheap, eighty taels of silver a pot...... Beware of hurting there. ”
Mrs. is not a flamboyant person, not to mention that the poinsettia only cost five taels of silver, and the two purple magnolias only cost three taels of silver... But when he saw the coachman's stunned face out of the corner of his eye, Zheng San immediately understood.
He feigned uneasiness, and smiled a little flatteringly: "Don't worry, Mrs., I will personally watch them move, and I will never hurt the branches and leaves of the flower tree." ”
Fu Tingyun nodded.
Shu's mother is a transparent person, she was just hesitant to come forward and say hello to Fu Tingyun, but later saw Fu Tingyun talking about things with flowers and trees, knowing that the other party was angry, thinking that Mrs. Yu had always hoped to soften Fu Tingyun's attitude, so as to resolve the grievances between the two families, knowing that if this matter was not clear, maybe there would be a storm.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly, walked in front of Fu Tingyun in three steps and two steps, bent her knees to salute her, and respectfully shouted, "Mrs. Zhao." Introducing herself: "The slave is the mother next to Mrs. Yu, I saw you talking before, it's not good to come forward to say ......hello," he said, and Fu Fu scolded the coachman: "Why don't you come down quickly and help move flowers and trees!" ”
Not only with a bit of explanation, but also with a bit of calming things and flattery.
Not to mention Mrs. Che of the Yu family, even Mrs. Wu's personal mother also opened her eyes wide.
Fu Tingyun looked at Shu's mother with a kind face, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
She already had a bad impression of the Yu family, and after seeing what the coachman did, she despised the Yu family even more. However, the people of the Yu family are willing to contribute in vain, and she will not postpone it.
Fu Tingyun nodded lightly at Shu's mother, and instructed Zheng San, "You look at it", and then turned his head and said to Mrs. Wu's mother, "The carriage is tired, I will visit Mrs. Wu later." He turned around and went home with the baby in his arms.
Mrs. Wu's personal mother was dumbfounded, and only after a while did she say, "Mother Shu, you, you also know Mrs. Zhao!" ”
"yes!" Mother Shu's years of following Mrs. Yu can be regarded as a spring breeze, how could she have suffered such coldness, she felt like she was blocked in her heart, and she couldn't have a seizure, and she was talking to Mrs. Wu's mother absentmindedly.
Zheng San was very tired of the Yu family's coachman's arrogance before, and at this time, he could be instructed in a proper manner, where would he be polite.
After a while, he said, "After all, the mothers of the Wu family are women, and this flower tree is too heavy, if it falls to the ground, it will be troublesome, and I ask this brother to make a effort." "Let him carry the potted flower tree into the door; One would say, "There is a west sun in the west here, this flower tree will not be transplanted in a few days, if it is damaged by selenium, I can't explain it to our wife, and ask this brother to help move this pot of flowers and trees to the east and put it"; After a while, he said, "This side is too close to the aisle, what if a little maid accidentally kicks the flower pot, and asks this brother to raise his hand and move it to a place against the wall······ back and forth, tired him like a dog, and kept calling his mother in his heart.
I don't have anything to say directly, what's going on with such a tossing back and forth!
He shook his hand.
The old man is gone!
He turned around and walked out the door.
It is enough to have given a little commandment.
Zheng San laughed and shouted behind him: "Hey, you just put this flower tree on the road, if someone knocks it down, who will I find to accompany you!" ”
The coachman was so angry that he didn't answer, and he walked out of the Zhao family's house in a huff and talked to his mother.
Shu's mother was also very unhappy, thought about it, and said, "Forget it, their flowers and trees have also been moved, let's go back first!" "I didn't say a word no.
The coachman was stunned.
Shu's mother had already helped the maid's hand to get into the carriage.
One of the little maids, who had just combed her hair and looked a little timid, looked at her eyes lit up, then lowered her head, and waited silently for everyone to get into the car, and then she carefully climbed to the back of the car and sat down.
Back at Yu's house, Shu's mother told Mrs. Yu about it.
Mrs. Yu said disapprehantly: "It's just a coachman, what is it for the acting master's family to be wronged!" And said with relief, "In this family, you still know me!" ”
Shu's mother was aggrieved for Mrs. Yu, and felt that since the Fu family didn't appreciate it, it would be considered a full courtesy for everyone to nod when they met, and it was really impossible to be so low. Hearing Mrs. Yu say this, she couldn't say it.
Mrs. Yu naturally understands how to restrain her mother, and she puts her heart in her heart: "It's not enough to kill people." If one day the matter of Depu is impeached, all I have done today is evidence that we sincerely compensate Fu, and maybe this case can be overturned because of this. ”
"Madame!" Mother Shu was surprised and delighted, and looked at Mrs. Yu with admiration.
Mrs. Yu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." I remember that I still have a hundred-year-old ginseng in my warehouse, and you ask the person in charge to send a message to Nanjing, so that they can send the old ginseng over, and if there is anything wrong with Aunt Wu's birth, you can also hang it. ”
Mother Shu hesitated: "That's the ······ for you to use."
Mrs. Yu waved her hand and interrupted Shu's mother's words: "Without grandchildren, living for a hundred years is just disturbing." I had a grandson, and when I went to see my ancestors and ancestors, there were people who wore linen and brought filial piety, and I also walked with peace of mind. She didn't want to talk too much about these life and death matters, and asked, "What is Fan doing to Aunt Wu these days?" ”
