Chapter XVIII
Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Yunshui was waiting for the old lady to get up, and there was a legend at the door that it was Manager Zhao who came to greet the old lady.
The old lady was also stunned, it is said that she has not been at home for many years, and Manager Zhao is always looking for Ye Zhang's to reply to him when he has something to do, why did he come to the middle courtyard early in the morning? The old lady asked Thrush to take Manager Zhao to the front hall, while she was served by Ye Yunshui and dressed.
"I said I wouldn't let you do it, can the wound on this hand be easily moved? If it leaves a scar, it is a major event in a lifetime. The old lady didn't let Ye Yunshui do such work, but Ye Yunshui smiled and said coquettishly, "My granddaughter has not been filial piety in front of her grandmother for a few days, you have fulfilled my filial piety, and it is not possible to let me be coquettish once!" ”
The old lady was relieved, but she only let her mean that she let Cui Hong, who was standing next to her, take over, Cui Hong was the big girl in charge of the old lady's clothes, seeing that the old lady was really happy at this time, she was happy to flatter Ye Yunshui a few words, "Old lady, you are blessed, the big girls are so filial to you." ”
The old lady was full of smiles in her eyes, and took Ye Yunshui towards the front hall.
"The slave has said hello to the old lady!" When Mr. Zhao saw the old lady coming out of the house, he stepped forward and kowtowed, "Seeing that the New Year is over, the slave will kowtow to the old lady first, and I wish the old lady a long life and a long life!" ”
The old lady scolded with a smile, "You old thing, why are you still doing this when you're in your forties?" Get up, sit down and talk. ”
"It's still the old lady who is sympathetic to my old bones, and it's not as good as one day at a time, but I hope I can serve the old lady for a few more years." Mr. Zhao is now also forty-seven years old, when the old lady married to the Ye Mansion, Mr. Zhao was just a small steward, but now he has become a big housekeeper in the first house, in front of the old lady, he is a slave long and a slave is short, and he can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face outside.
Ye Yunshui looked at Manager Zhao carefully, although this person is forty-seven years old, he has never been blessed, he is still a lean figure, but his smiling eyes are shrewd and capable, Ye Yunshui rarely intersects with him, although he has this person, he is not very impressed.
As if sensing Ye Yunshui's gaze, Manager Zhao saluted towards Ye Yunshui, "This is the eldest girl, right?" The old slave also saluted you! ”
Ye Yunshui hurriedly turned sideways to avoid him, raised his hand and said: "Manager Zhao has killed me, you are an old man in the house, and you are the elder of Yunshui, and you have taken care of Yunshui a lot in the next day, how can you give me a salute to a junior, please get up quickly." ”
A flash of surprise flashed in Manager Zhao's eyes, but he returned to his smiling face in an instant, "The eldest girl has killed the old slave, how can the old slave be an elder." ”
"Deserved, deserved, why not? The people of all ages in this house, who don't count on you at all? Look at your hair in your forties now, your hair is gray, and you are also tired and tired! The old lady sighed with emotion, and Mr. Zhao replied gratefully, "With the old lady's compassion, the old slave is tired to death, and he admits it!" ”
"Bah, bah, you just talk about it early in the morning, say, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what are you doing here with me?" The old lady knew that Manager Zhao must have something to say, otherwise she would not have come to the door early in the morning, and she deliberately rushed to the big room and the second room to ask for peace.
"Back to the old lady's words, last night the old man said that the eldest girl had a hand injury, and specially asked someone to ask me to go to the shop and get the best wound medicine to come over to the eldest girl." Manager Zhao took out a box from his arms, and there were several blue and white porcelain vases in it, "This wound medicine is a unique special product of our Ye Mansion, and even the generals of the army use this special effect of the wound medicine, and the nobles in the palace still ask for some to eliminate the scars and remove the scars, but the signboard of our Ye Mansion, the eldest girl can take it carefully." Manager Zhao handed the thing to Ye Yunshui pointedly, and Ye Yunshui took it and thanked him.
"If you get a medicine, you have to run in person, so that you can't get it!" Although the old lady said so, she was very satisfied in her heart, Ye Chongtian did this, firstly, he was afraid that Ye Yunshui would have a bad scar on the hands of a girl, and secondly, he was also giving the old lady a long face, Ye Yunshui was here with her, and he asked the chief manager to run in person, which also showed to the outside world that the old lady in this family is still the master and the final word.
There is a stir in this yard, I am afraid that even a cat or dog can ask about the taste, not to mention these people who have more eyes than meat.
Manager Zhao still had a smile on his face, and he stepped forward to give the old lady a salute before saying, "Hehe, it's a matter for the old slave to take medicine, and there is also a private matter that I want to ask for the old lady's grace." ”
"Say." The old lady was waiting for the second half of his sentence.
Manager Zhao stood up again at this time, and said with a half-bow to the old lady, "The old slave is also running to the age of destiny, and this body is not complete, and there are some big and small things in the next day, and there are more than enough to do it, the eldest son of the old slave family is now following the old man as a small servant, and the second son entered the house last year and got an errand, and he is a clever person, so the old slave wants my second son to help the old slave share some of it, so as not to miss the errand in the house, that is the sin of the old slave." ”
When Ye Yunshui heard this, it was obvious that Mr. Zhao wanted his son to take over, but shouldn't he look for Ye Zhang's for this matter? But you found the old lady with you? Ye Yunshui continued to listen quietly, thinking that the old lady would respond in one bite, but unexpectedly, the old lady was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke, "I have met your second son, he is sensible, and he is also very stable, but his temperament is a little soft, do you think he can take your errand?" The old lady's words were full of doubts, but this doubt did not refer to Zhao Er's ability.
When Mr. Zhao heard this, he immediately replied, "The second son of the old slave family has been strictly controlled by the old slave since he was a child, but he has a soft temperament, and he is really worried about the old slave, but he is an obedient person and has no second heart for the master. ”
"How old is that second child in your family? Did you say kiss? The old lady suddenly changed the subject.
"Two out of twenty, I have never said kiss."
"Why haven't you said kiss when you're so old? But the horizon is too high? The old lady's words are a little intriguing, what does it mean to have too high a vision? No matter how high he is, he is also a slave in the house.
Mr. Zhao understood the meaning of the old lady's words, and hurriedly replied: "What kind of vision does he have as a slave, if he can really ask for the old lady's grace, it will give the old slave a long face." Manager Zhao sneered, and the old lady only showed a smile at this point, "Although these people around me are also a few years old, they are really reluctant to give it to your family." ”
Ye Yunshui now understood the meaning of the words between the old lady and Mr. Zhao, and he was willing to sell favors to Mr. Zhao, so he took the opportunity to interject: "These big girls around my grandmother are all smart, and the directors can afford to run the house, compared to the young ladies of other people, Mr. Zhao is really eye-catching." ”
Mr. Zhao glanced at Ye Yunshui gratefully, still begging the old lady, "Ask for the old lady's grace." ”
The old lady naturally intended to give a maid out, but she couldn't always agree as soon as Mr. Zhao begged her, and now Ye Yunshui inserted such a sentence in it, but instead gave the old lady a step down, the old lady sighed, as if she was helpless, and swept around the faces of these maids who were waiting beside her, and finally her eyes fell on the maid behind the thrush, and she shouted: "Spring grass." ”
Chuncao's face turned red, and she hurriedly knelt down in front of the old lady, "The slave asks the old lady to show me." ”
The old lady pointed to the spring grass and asked Mr. Zhao, "How is this girl?" ”
Manager Zhao didn't look at Chuncao, and still replied: "It's up to the old lady to decide." ”
"Chuncao entered the house at the age of four, it's a pitiful, and I've been on my side for all these years, and I'm a good hand at running the house, and it's been more than ten years, and I'm reluctant...... Alas, that's it, Chuncao, I promised you to the second son of Chief Steward Zhao, are you willing? The old lady grabbed Chuncao's little hand and looked at her.
Chuncao's eyes turned red, "The slave and maid are willing to serve in front of the old lady all the time, and the slave and maid are not married...... Even if they are willing in their hearts, they have to say this, Ye Yunshui is watching the excitement from the side and does not interject.
"Hun said, only when you get married can you have something to rely on! That Zhao Er is also a white and pure person, his appearance is not a loss to you, his identity is not a loss to you, and he will not let you come back if he is married, and his daughter-in-law is on an errand in this yard! I will ask people to prepare a dowry, in addition to the usual dowry of the big girl, I will also subsidize you with twenty taels of silver, you, just wait for me to enjoy the blessings! The old lady smiled and decided on the family affair of vanilla, and this additional subsidy was given to Mr. Zhao to be more decent, and Mr. Zhao thanked him on the side, and he was happy to go home to prepare for his family.
Ye Yunshui sighed in his heart that this Mr. Zhao is an old slippery, the old lady said that his son was soft, so he asked the old lady to give his son a doorman, and married the old lady's eldest maid, if Zhao Er took his Lao Tzu's class, and his daughter-in-law was served by the old lady's side, how could others dare to take Zhao Er as a pawn? Even Ye Zhang's family didn't dare to talk about this, if he dared to provoke trouble, it would be to slap the old lady in the face, Ye Chongtian would not allow her, even if the old lady passed away in a few years, Zhao Er's heels were also firmly established in the mansion...... Ye Yunshui finally understood why Mr. Zhao asked the old lady, don't look at the old lady who doesn't care about things now, but if the old lady wants to stir things up, it will be a stir and a quasi, but Ye Zhang's family doesn't have this ability.
Ginger is really old and spicy.
