Chapter 27: Retreat

Akitoin's reaction was soon known to those who had a heart.

"So, she didn't say anything without clothes?" Aunt Zhou turned a page of Buddhist scriptures and asked.

Ah Jin nodded.

"The girl was also punished by Mrs. Liu, and she knelt when she said she knelt?" Aunt Zhou looked up at her and smiled.

Ah Jin sighed, his face was a little feverish, and smiled bitterly.

"I really didn't expect that the girl who came out of front of the old lady would kneel down to a third-class mother-in-law..."Aunt Zhou covered her mouth with her hand and laughed, "If the old lady really sent her back, I'm afraid that a slap in the face will pull her back..."

"The young lady may be trying to please her." Ah Jin said.

"Please? Is she stupid? Not to mention that she now occupies the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of other people, just because she was brought into the mansion by the old lady, in this life, she will never please the slut. Aunt Zhou said with a faint smile on her lips, and smiled self-deprecatingly as she spoke, "This, how can I expect her to understand?" Let each man do his own thing. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Ah Jin.

"Do you still want to go for a walk with her?" She smirked.

Ah Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I told you that mud is mud and you can never hold up the wall." Aunt Zhou smiled, smiled and sighed, "If the old lady had such a disregard for me at the beginning, how could the slut have a chance to enter the door, how could I..."

When she said this, the hand holding the pen clenched tightly, and the words stopped abruptly here, looking at the Buddhist scriptures in front of her and being silent.

Ah Jin on the side just stood quietly with his head down, as if he hadn't heard anything or seen anything, and after a while, Aunt Zhou picked up the pen again and slowly copied the scriptures, and the room was quiet again.

When it was nearly evening, I came out of the back door of Mrs. Hou's Rong'an Courtyard to the west, and passed through a sandwich road, which was where the treasury of the Hou Mansion was located.

"Mother Zhou has eaten?" Everyone smiled respectfully and said hello.

Zhou's mother nodded with a smile.

"Nowadays, when it rains, it is damp, and when it doesn't rain, the weather is very dry, and it is moisture-proof and waterproof, you should all pay attention." She said.

"We all know, mom rest assured." The mother-in-law replied with a smile.

The woman and the little man who got more news ran out of the door, and automatically stood up to say hello to Zhou's mother, who looked all the way over, and at the end, stopped at a woman who was about forty years old.

The woman had her head bowed, and she wore the cardigan that the women often wore and did not stand out.

"Sister Feng, there is a banquet at home the day after tomorrow, and she is the family of Dong Guogong in the capital, I remember that there is a gold and jade ornament screen in the old lady's library, and let people move out and put it on display." Zhou's mother said to her with a smile.

The woman bowed her head and bowed first.

"Yes," she said, "is there a pair?" ”

Zhou's mother smiled and took out a pair of cards.

The woman looked.

"Is there a young lady's pair of cards?" She asked, lowering her eyes.

Countless eyes looked around, and the woman just kept her head down and didn't say anything superfluous.

Mother Zhou looked at her and still smiled, didn't say anything, and withdrew her hand.

"The prince is coming back, there are a lot of things at home these days, and the yard of the prince is also being repaired, and people come and go, be careful." She said.

Everyone responded in unison, watching Zhou's mother take people away, and surrounded the woman with a hula.

"Dong Niangzi, what's the matter with you?"

"What do you want? Why do you need a pair of cards for young women? ”

Everyone said babblingly, and their faces were a little indignant.

"The old lady said at the time that what she left was for the young lady's dowry, and there must be the young lady's pair of cards to open." The woman was neither anxious nor annoyed, but lowered her head and said sullenly.

Another woman sneered.

"Dong Niangzi, I know what you think, but I heard that the young lady's illness seems to be getting better these days, and my heart is alive." A woman smiled weirdly, "But it's also possible that this time the house made clothes, just forgot the young lady, maybe the young lady will come to the library with the right cards to pick up clothes and jewelry in a fit of anger..."

Everyone laughed, but the woman still kept her head down and said nothing, as if she was deaf and dumb, and everyone made fun of her for a while, but the woman never responded, and then she was not interested.

At the beginning of July, the day of the son's return home finally had definite news.

"If it is really as Madame thought, the prince pushed the entertainment of the state capital all the way, and he had to rush back before fifteen." Su's mother wiped her tears and said.

The little guy who read the letter of the prince was rewarded by the Xie family with a lot of money and sent out.

Xie Shi looked excited and a little restless.

"I'm going to have to go see how the house is cleaned up? Brother Cheng doesn't like those flowers, grass, or red, green, and green accessories, so don't block them as soon as you enter the house..."She said.

Su's mother smiled and pressed her to sit down.

"Madam, don't worry, the people who clean up the house for the prince are all people who grew up with the son, and they don't know this." She laughed.

Xie Shi let out a sigh and sat down.

"I don't know if it's dark or thin..."She couldn't help but wipe her tears with a handkerchief.

Su's mother accompanied her and said a lot of words of relief.

"What's the woman doing lately?" Xie asked with a straight expression.

"Not really, honestly, according to your instructions, I invited the doctor to take a look, said hello, no one came out of the house, said it was not good, and I didn't want to see anyone." Su's mother said.

Xie sneered.

"She's so knowledgeable? Sure enough, it's smart..."She said, "Pass the word to me, look at it, once you have the mind that shouldn't be raised...."

When she said this, her face darkened.

β€œβ€¦ She's been sick long enough."

Su's mother couldn't help but shudder, and lowered her head in response.

"Madam, the mountain stone has been bought and is being placed in the courtyard of the prince, madam, you can take a look." The big girl Ah Luan lifted the curtain and came in and smiled.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cheerful.

"Let's go, take a look, this is what Hou Ye personally picked for the prince..."Xie said with a smile, holding Su's mother's hand and standing up.

When she went out, the mother-in-law and maids followed a lot, and each of her own girls went to inform the aunts and ladies, so she met many people on the way, and when she arrived at the courtyard of the prince, the courtyard was crowded with hulala, more than the people who worked.

Ah Ru stood outside the kitchen courtyard door and only felt that there were very few people today, except for a few rough girls, there was no one who could speak, and it had been half a day since she came out, so she had to hold a little girl who ran over.

"Where have the mothers gone?" She asked.

The little girl rolled her eyes at her.

"You're busy, you can come back another day." She said.

"I've been here several times, how can I be so busy? Not a single person was seen. Aru asked with a sigh of relief.

"I don't care about the distribution of examples, my sister can't lie at me if she is angry, she can just bully me." The little girl rolled her eyes and snorted, broke away from her and ran away.

Ah Ru stomped his feet angrily and had to stand and continue to wait, and it was easy to see four or five mothers-in-law coming over laughing.

"Mom, our Akido Temple may be todayβ€”" she hurriedly asked.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by one of the mothers-in-law.

"Wait a little longer, girl, I'm really busy today, and I'll send it when I'm free tomorrow." She said.

Busy? Busy for half a day without seeing anyone? Aru took a deep breath.

"Moms take a break.." She whispered again.

"What kind of time to spare, where is the time, Fang Cai has died in the courtyard, Mrs. is happy, she wants to hold a banquet in the young master's courtyard, there are so many people, the food can't be cleaned up, what's the matter? Why don't you tell the above, and fix it for the girl first? Don't delay your big event in Akiti-in? The woman interrupted her, smiling.

Aru lowered his head.

"That's naturally Madame's business, I, I'll come back tomorrow." She said, turning and walking away.

"I'm afraid that tomorrow will not be idle, girl, don't run away, we naturally remember, we will send it when we are free." The woman said in a loud voice behind her.

"One day or two... And they starved to death..."

"It's just... It's not like I haven't been hungry before... That's where you come from..."

A gossip of laughter sounded behind him, and Ah Ru quickened his pace, and only slowed down when he walked near the Autumn Tong Temple, his expression was depressed, and he only felt weak when carrying an empty basket.

As the young lady said, the limelight against them is getting tighter and tighter, and it seems that they are trying in every possible way to find their faults, and the purpose of finding mistakes is to find another reason to lock them up?

I didn't enter the cave room after worshipping the church, and I was separated for three years, and I didn't have much love between husband and wife, but my mother-in-law was so disliked, what should I do in the future? Such avoidance and deference, can you make the lady look a little more pleasing to the eye, so as not to find an excuse to send them out and throw them on which Zhuangzi to raise....

She thought sullenly, walked absentmindedly, and suddenly ran from behind her.

"Sister Caijuan asked me to give it to you." A voice said.

Aru was startled, and then saw that the man had already run away, it was a little girl, and a basket was placed at his feet, full of rice, noodles, vegetables and meat.

"Hey." Ah Ru hurriedly called her, "Who gave it to me?" ”

The little girl stood still in the distance, turned around and put her hands together to make a mouth shape.

Third Young Master....

Aru couldn't help but be stunned when she saw it, and then came back to her senses, and the girl ran away.

She looked down at the basket with a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, and still picked it up.

"I got it today." Entering the door, Ah Hao hurriedly took it, saw the thing in her hand at a glance, and smiled happily.

Ah Ru hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say the word third young master, nodded, and mumbled vaguely.

Ah Hao has already taken it and flipped through it.

"Young lady, there's still a bottle of wine." She said happily into the room.

Qi Yue came out with a smile.

"That's great, get some snacks and drink some wine tonight, it's beautiful." She laughed.

"Fry what?" Ah Hao's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"Let me see." Qi Yue also came over, looking through the contents of the basket, "There is chicken, let's have a chicken pot, this time there must be a chili pepper must be very authentic... Let's stir-fry again..."

"Can the young lady make a little spicy but still so delicious..."

Seeing the master and servant discussing eating and drinking with great interest, Ah Ru couldn't cry or laugh.

"Young lady, the fifteenth year of the prince will be home...", she couldn't help but say.

"Oh . . . What does this wine taste like? Ah, what do you say? Qi Yue asked.

"The fifteenth year of the world will be home." Aru looked at her and said.

Qi Yue sighed.

"It's a great thing to congratulate." She said, laughing again, "Then we'll have to add another dish tonight to celebrate." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm going to eat the yam of pulling silk..."Ah Hao clapped his hand and laughed.
