Chapter 4 Calculation
The third aunt and grandmother said again: "Lin Yi and Lin Fang are only one year apart, right?" I've heard that someone has already asked about Linfang. ”
Lin Fang was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she realized that she was blushing when she came over.
Everyone in the room looked at Lin Fang and smiled, and Lin Fang couldn't help but be embarrassed.
It was Dong's mother who relieved the siege, "The meal is almost cold, the old lady, aunt, and the two young ladies still eat first." ”
Talking and laughing in front, the atmosphere is harmonious after a meal.
After eating, Lin Fang and Lin Yi sent the third aunt and grandmother out of the door.
Walking to the moon gate, Lin Yi suddenly remembered, "I wiped my grandmother and my uncle's grandmother, and the third aunt brought it back to my aunt, and my mother and I went to say hello to my grandmother another day." ”
The third aunt laughed, "Don't bother too much if you're sick." ”
Lin Fang helped Lin Yi speak, "It's always the sixth sister's heart for the elders, we don't know what to give to the elders every day, there is a lot of filial piety in it, the third aunt helps to talk in front of the uncle and grandmother, and the sixth sister can be more comfortable when she enters the house to ask for peace." ”
The third aunt and grandmother were laughed by Linfang's words, "You are clever." ”
Lin Yi and Lin Fang looked at each other and smiled.
……
Hehetang quieted down, Mrs. Chen sat on the carved mahogany soft chair to look at the newly sent Xiaochun peach bonsai from the flower room, Mrs. Chen looked at it for a while and waved her hand to let people change the bonsai into a peach blossom vase.
Old Mrs. Chen frowned, "Has the third lady come back?" ”
The eldest lady took the third lady to the nearby Shuiyue Nunnery to worship the medicine king.
Dong's mother said: "I haven't come back yet." "The worship of the medicine prince has to eat fast and listen to the scriptures, and it will take at least another hour or two to get home.
In this way, the sixth girl came to her room, not arranged by the third daughter-in-law.
"Let people pay attention and see what is happening on the third master's side." Old Mrs. Chen looked at her slightly when she thought of this, and there were some things that she couldn't be guarded against.
Old Mrs. Chen's face was not good, and Mother Dong whispered in a low voice, "It's a coincidence that Miss Six won't pay attention to these things when she's young." "The young lady was surprised and unfamiliar when she saw the third aunt and grandmother, and she didn't look like she was pretending.
At this point, Dong's mother told the old lady what the little maid in the big kitchen said.
"Six girls hit someone?"
Mother Dong nodded, "That's what I said." ”
"You can't lie." Old Mrs. Chen's face was pale, "Where does the cautious appearance of the sixth girl look like an arrogant and domineering person, how can the third aunt and grandmother believe it?" The six girls brought the food to my room, and the long room said that he would not think that I had framed the six girls. Such a brainless thing can only be done by the idiot of the eldest daughter-in-law. ”
Mother Dong bowed down and said, "The slave has suppressed the matter, and the people in the big kitchen will not talk about it again." The long house won't notice it. ”
I suppressed the matter today, and I don't know what kind of moth will come out tomorrow, "If the eldest daughter-in-law can be smarter, I don't need to bother like this," Mrs. Chen glanced at Dong's mother lightly, "I let the third child come back to put it under my nose, lest he do something earth-shattering quietly, and it will be too late to regret it." You have to let people keep an eye on people, not only the third family, but everyone in this garden has to show me carefully. ”
Mother Dong bowed down and said, "That's what the old lady said. ”
Old Mrs. Chen took out the Buddha beads from her sleeve and twisted them, "Do you think the long room will like Lin Yi?" ”
Dong's mother sat on the Ruyi pattern square bench and rubbed the feet of Mrs. Chen, who had frostbite on her feet in Sichuan and Shaanxi in those years, and it was especially itchy when the spring flowers bloomed.
"No," Dong's mother didn't want to think about it, "The fourth lady and the third aunt and grandmother have been intimate for more than one or two days. Although the old lady of the long room has a cold temperament, she also looks at us four young ladies differently. The sixth lady is quite thoughtful in terms of etiquette, but in the end, it is hard to beat the real gold, don't you see that the eyes of the third aunt and grandmother are always on our fourth miss. ”
Whether it is temperament or appearance, Lin Fang is one in a thousand, after all, Lin Yi lives in a small place with her parents, and she will not have any knowledge. When Mrs. Chen thought of this, Lin Yi's beautiful eyebrows and eyes unconsciously rose, could it be that she really looked like the slut of the Zhao family? No wonder the Zhao family will be fascinated by the old man.
The chilblains on the feet are no longer itchy, but the chilblains in the heart cannot be healed. She led the child to live hard in Sichuan and Shaanxi, but she didn't expect the master to follow the slut to live happily in Beijing. She just wanted to correct the status of her children for so many years.
"You can't underestimate the third child. Zhao's slut is scheming, and the wild seeds she gave birth to are not much better. Back then, she was also gullible about Zhao's reputation for being virtuous, who knew that she was not as good as a prostitute in Goolan Courtyard, and when she saw the master, she tried her best to pounce on it, otherwise where would the wild seed come from in her stomach.
……
Lin Fang and Lin Yi sent the aunt and grandmother of the long house to the weeping flower gate, and saw that the blue tweed official sedan chair was gone, and the two of them returned to the garden while talking.
"The peach blossoms are in full bloom these days, and the young lady here in Gyeonggi likes to put the peach blossoms in the embroidery room." Lin Fang played with Lin Yi's hand affectionately, as if she were a sister of the same mother.
"I saw a lot of flowers and trees in the house."
Lin Fang smiled and said, "There are the most types of peach blossoms in our house, so why don't I take my sister around and take a look." ”
In the past, she lived in the garden for a short time, but no one ever offered to take her to the garden.
"Okay." Lin Yi simply agreed, and it is also a good thing to enjoy the peach blossoms.
Mrs. Chen likes peach blossoms, and after the second room of the Chen family moved in, she planted peach blossom trees everywhere in the garden.
Passing through the Bowang Pavilion is the peach blossom dock, and Lin Fang took Lin Yi to the east garden while watching.
To the east is the residence of the uncle and aunt.
Orange Hong, who was following behind, looked at the unfamiliar scenery and was a little scared in her heart, so she kept turning her head to look. Even if you look at the peach blossoms, they are too far, but the two young ladies have no intention of stopping.
"That's Fangfei Garden, let's go there and fold two peach blossoms."
Hearing Lin Fang's proposal, Lin Yi nodded.
At the end of the bluestone road is a quiet path, which is now sprinkled with peach blossom petals, and it seems that the placket of your clothes is stained with fragrant fragrance when you walk through it gently.
It's a place you can't refuse.
Especially Lin Yi rarely sees such beautiful peach blossoms.
Lin Fang's footsteps slowly stopped, but Lin Yi seemed to be dumbfounded, and walked forward with orange and red.
I don't know where I went, I just felt that I was really in the sea of flowers, in the middle of the stretched flower branches, Lin Yi looked at a half-opened peach blossom and was just about to reach out and fold it off, her fingers touched the branches, and suddenly heard the sound of a woman moaning in her ears, Lin Yi was suddenly startled, and her feet fell to the ground softly.
Lin Fang was suddenly shocked, "Sixth sister, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lin Yi didn't care about the pain in her feet, and stretched out her hand to point ahead, "Who...... Who's there ......"
Lin Fang looked in the direction of Lin Yi's finger.
……
Mrs. Chen calmed down and wanted to write a few notes.
Agarwood opened the curtain and hurriedly entered the house to say, "Old lady, something happened to Aunt Liu." ”
Aunt Liu used to be a second-class maid in front of the old lady, but later she was taken by the eldest man and wanted to go over and carry her aunt.
Dong's mother, who was grinding ink on the side, was getting up, Aunt Liu was pregnant, could it be ......
Agarwood took a breath and continued: "Aunt Liu said that she was going to have a miscarriage. ”
Old Mrs. Chen raised her eyes when she heard this, Aunt Liu was already five months pregnant, and it stands to reason that she was already stable, how could she suddenly have a miscarriage.
Mrs. Chen glanced at Dong's mother, and Dong's mother asked, "What's going on?" ”
Agarwood said: "Aunt Liu was walking in the yard, and I don't know why I suddenly had a stomachache, thanks to being bumped into by Miss Fourth and Miss Six." ”
What's going on, how did the two young ladies go to Aunt Liu.
Old Mrs. Chen frowned, "What about the girl next to Aunt Liu?" Call her in. ”
As soon as the door curtain moved, Xiaoqing walked quickly forward and saluted the old lady, after passing just now, she was shocked and frightened, and opened her mouth and couldn't speak clearly, "Slave maid...... Go to the big kitchen to make snacks for my aunt...... My aunt was fine when she left...... I don't know what's going on, but my aunt suddenly had abdominal pain......" said and shed tears.
There is only one maid by Aunt Liu's side, this girl never leaves Aunt Liu on weekdays, how could she suddenly go to the big kitchen for so long.
Mrs. Chen got up with the Phnom Penh Liuyun Embroidered Purple Pillow and got up, "What are you waiting for?" Please go over and take a look. ”
Agarwood answered, and hurriedly took Xiaoqing down.
Old Mrs. Chen looked at Mother Dong with a calm face, "Go and see what's going on,"
……
Aunt Liu in the inner room shrank into a ball with a pale face, her hand stained with impatiens juice tightly clutched the belly pocket of the child embroidered with the word Fu, and there were moans from time to time.
Lin Yi and Lin Fang watched the two grandmothers enter the inner room and ask questions, and after a while, Mother Dong, who was next to the old lady, entered the house.
Seeing Lin Yi and Lin Fang, Dong's mother was very surprised, "Why are the two young ladies still here." ”
Lin Fang seemed to be frightened, her pale face didn't know what to say, and she looked at Lin Yi with big eyes.
Lin Yi's dress was stained with mud, and people stood aside with support.
Orange Hong said in a low voice: "Sixth Miss has broken her foot, and she has already asked people to find bone-setting medicine." ”
Mother Dong's eyes fell on Lin Yi's feet, "How can this happen," she said and instructed the little maid in the house, "What to do in a daze, let people raise their shoulders quickly." ”
The little maid ran out in response, and Dong's mother stepped forward to help Lin Yi, "Sixth Miss sit down and rest first, is there anything else that hurts you besides your feet?" ”
Lin Yi frowned, "It's just that my feet hurt a little, mom doesn't have to worry about me, go and see ......" I don't know what to call the people in the inner room.
Dong's mother followed Lin Yi's line of sight, and Miss Six had just arrived at Chen's house, so she naturally didn't know who the people in the house were.
The two young ladies were safe and sound, and Dong's mother went to see Aunt Liu.
Lin Yi sat on the brocade and only heard Aunt Liu say sadly: "Ask Mother Dong to save the child in my belly." ”
Lin Yi turned her head sideways to look at Lin Fang, Lin Fang didn't seem to care, but subconsciously tilted her head to the inner room.
