Chapter 414: The Wind Rises (Part II)
Mr. Zhao read the letter in front of Amber, and then sealed it in front of Amber, and then said to Amber with a smile: "You went back to Madame." I just said that in a few days, I will tell the prince about the personnel in "Kindergarten". Especially like 'slander ** plus, there are credible tigers in the city; The crowd agitates and provokes, and the mosquito can become thunder. It is said that it is a disaster for people; insinuations, saying that the ghost domain is harmful'. ”
Amber went back.
Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Sizhen had already gone to the back garden with Xu Sijie, and was being served by a large group of maids and women to fly kites.
Mother Tao brought two little maids to bring tea and pastries.
Seeing this, Xu Sizhen ran over sweating profusely.
"Mom, Mom, what did you send me!"
Tao's mother hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe Xu Sichen's sweat.
"I made the fourth young master's favorite Poria cake, and the fifth young master's favorite rose cake."
Xu Sijie, who followed closely behind Xu Sizhen, heard a burst of cheers: "Do I have it too?" ”
"The fourth young master has it, and we five young masters naturally have it!" Tao's mother covered her mouth and smiled.
Xu Sizhen happily pulled Xu Sijie into the pavilion, and sat on the stone table with a scarlet mattress to drink tea and eat snacks.
The little guy who helped the two of them pull the kite exclaimed, only to see that Xu Sizhen's butterfly kite was mixed with Xu Sijie's hundred-legged centipede kite.
Xu Sijie was in a hurry, so he ran out, and the maids and mothers-in-law who served Xu Sijie saw it and followed.
Xu Sizhen was pulled by Tao's mother, and while taking a handkerchief to wipe the sweat of his vest, he said distressedly: "My little ancestor." You rest. The kite has its own little guys to take care of, and it will be fine. He asked him in a low voice: "Brother, did Mother Du mention the matter of the fourth lady sending flowers to Mrs. Tai?" ”
Mrs. Tai didn't mention this matter in front of the child, and Xu Sizhen thought that Mrs. Tai didn't know.
"Nope!" Xu Sizhen shook his head, thinking that Mother Tao had asserted that Mother Du knew what to say and what not to say, she raised her face and smiled, "It's all said by my mother." Grandmother didn't say anything. But my mother asked me to talk. My mother also praised me, saying that I was a good son......"
"Really?" He wanted to tell Mother Tao everything that Eleven Niang said, but he was talking energetically, but was interrupted by Mother Tao's laughter, and then replied authentically, "The fourth young master is still young, and there are some things that he doesn't understand." Now the family is controlled by the fourth lady, whether it is Du's mother or Xi'er, they all have to go to her to beg for food. I'm different. I am your mother's companion, I eat your mother's dowry, and I wear your mother's reward, and naturally only I can say some words. ”
The topic turned too fast and was not smooth, and Xu Sizhen was a little stunned for a while.
Mother Tao smiled when she saw it: "Brother just need to remember that Mother Tao is brave and loyal, and she only tells the truth to her brother." ”
Xu Sichen remembered the advice of his deceased mother, and nodded with some confusion.
Mother Tao stood up with a smile and said, "Brother, go play!" It's time for me to go back, too. It's time to incense my aunt and grandmother. ”
Xu Sichen nodded, trying to think about the fading shadow, and had no playful heart.
Xi'er, who was standing outside the pavilion, looked at the figure of Tao's mother who was gradually moving away, and glanced back at Xu Sizhen.
The next day when he went to school, Xu Sijian talked about going to Qingqing with a few cousins and meeting the Han University scholar of the Hanlin Academy with a prostitute, Mr. Zhao smiled and said that he spoke bitterly, and talked to Xu Siqin, Xu Sijian, Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie about the personnel in "Kindergarten".
Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian couldn't help but be a little confused, while Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie were a little confused.
Mr. Zhao sighed in his heart.
Whether it is learning or being a person, it is necessary to take it step by step, so that the seedlings will be pulled out and promoted, and the effect will definitely not be good.
After thinking about it, let the little guy go to Amber and say: "I've been talking about kindergarten these days, but the fourth and fifth young masters are too young, I'm afraid it's difficult to understand the essence of it." ”
Eleven Niang thought about it, saw that Xu Sizhen was about to get out of school, and called a few little maids who had just entered the hospital to play a game - let them stand three or four feet apart, Amber quietly said something to the first little maid standing on the left, and then asked the little maid to whisper to the little maid next to her, so that when it reached the first maid on the right, she said out loud what she heard, and then let the first maid on the left say what Amber told her.
Amber's words were naturally spread beyond recognition.
A few little maids endured uncomfortable, all with strange expressions.
Xu Sizhen and Xu Sizhen went to school.
I can't help but wonder when I look at it.
Amber told them with a smile.
Xu Sizhen's eyes widened: "How could you change the word?" ”
Eleven Niang waited for his words, and smiled and took Xu Si's warning: "If you don't believe it, Brother Zhen will try." ”
Xu Si volunteered to stand first on the left.
The results speak for themselves, of course.
He couldn't laugh and said, "It's all these little maids who don't know how to speak." ”
Eleven Niang smiled and called Amber and Green Cloud, and everyone started to play this game one by one.
In the end, the words were changed.
Amber and Green Cloud were no more than a few little maidens, and they laughed together.
Xu Sichen also rubbed his stomach with a smile and fell into the arms of Eleven Niang, so frightened that Amber hurriedly pulled him up: "My lord, Mrs. Carefully's body and bones, I can't afford you to hit me like this." ”
He wiped the tears from his laughter and nodded.
Eleven Niang reprimanded a few little maids, not to speak falsely, not to spread falsehood.
Xu Sichen jumped up when he listened, and endured until Eleven Niang finished speaking, and a few little maids retreated, and then said excitedly: "I know what Mr. Zhao meant." This is how the word is spread, so 'the rumor stops at the wise'. ”
Eleven Niang took the opportunity to smile and said: "So smart people will never rush to conclusions when they hear the wind and grass." ”
Xu Si bowed his head heavily.
After that, Mr. Zhao told the story of "Three People Become Tigers" and told the story of "Innuendo". Tao's mother's words were slowly left behind.
Eleven Niang did not forget.
originally thought that if she complained a few words because of the Yuan Niang sacrifice day, she would forget it. But she actually instigated Xu Sichen again, which made her a little tired.
Eleven Niang took advantage of Xu Lingyi's invitation to Yu Yiqing's house to discuss Yu Cheng's marriage and called Lu Yonggui.
"Although Tao's mother's son Tao Cheng is in charge of affairs in the villa, he is the eldest sister's companion room with you, so they should be more familiar with and understand each other!"
Since the last time Shi Niang set up a foolish little guy to follow him every day, he has already understood very well in his heart that Shi Niang is hinting to him that unless he does not make a little mistake in his life, otherwise, Shi Niang can let him be ruined at any time.
His head hung slightly, and he said respectfully: "The villain has some dealings with him." ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "How is he?" ”
Lu Yonggui pondered: "My aunt's grange is in his hands, and he will put a few acres of land every few years, and after a few years, he has added more than 100 acres of fertile land. Sometimes, in a disaster year, it can also make the people on the grange hungry, so that they will not open the warehouse to release grain. ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "In this way, he is capable." ”
Lu Yonggui responded with a smile and said "yes".
Eleven Niang nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip unhurriedly, and asked again: "I don't know what hobbies he has?" ”
Lu Yonggui was stunned, raised his eyelids and looked at Eleven Niang, but who knew that he met Eleven Niang's gaze. He lowered his head a little flustered: "Hobby...... I don't seem to have any hobbies! ”
"How come people don't have a little hobby." Shi Niang smiled and rubbed the teacup, "For example, Steward Lu likes to collect copper coins." For example, I like to play with flowers and plants. You don't mean that Tao Cheng has to buy a few acres of land every few years, maybe Tao Cheng's hobby is to buy land! ”
Lu Yonggui's heart tightened when he listened.
Eleven Niang smiled, didn't make a sound, brushed the floating leaves in the tea cup with the lid of the cup, and occasionally the crisp sound of hitting porcelain sounded in the silent room, adding a little tension to the originally somewhat depressed air.
Seeing this situation, Lu Yonggui knew that Eleven Niang would not give up until he reached his goal. His mind was racing.
Tao Cheng is just a small steward. Eleven Niang can remember his name, it must be because of Tao's mother.
There is never a right or wrong thing about the inner house.
Lu Yonggui didn't want to get involved.
He pretended not to know, reluctantly smiled, and said, "Tao Cheng is a cautious person. If you want to talk about hobbies, it is to love to drink a little wine. Unfortunately, the amount of alcohol is not very good, and nine out of ten times I get drunk. ”
Shi Niang nodded with a smile and said, "Since Steward Lu knows Tao Cheng like this, I think there is something that has to be asked by Steward Lu to come forward." ”
Lu Yonggui secretly complained in his heart, but there was no other way. smiled: "The fourth lady was originally the young lady of the Luo family, and I was the servant of the Luo family. You can't write two characters in one stroke. Madame, if there is anything, I will take it upon myself. It's just that I'm stupid, and if there's anything inconsiderate, please bear with the fourth lady. ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "Speaking of which, this matter is also very simple. Since Tao Cheng was a good wine, he got drunk nine times out of ten. I wonder if he drank wine and told people about buying land, would he be deceived! After speaking, she looked at Lu Yonggui with a smile, "It's good to ask Manager Lu to help investigate this matter." In this way, it will not be discovered by other people and ruin the reputation of our Luo family. ”
Lu Yonggui gasped, and only after a while did he whisper: "Since it is Madame's order, I should do my best!" ”
Shi Niang nodded with satisfaction and sent the guests with tea.
After more than half a month, Tao Cheng came into the house in a panic to see his mother.
Mother Tao inserted the incense, and the feather duster on the case was a random beating.
Tao Cheng hugged his head: "Three hundred acres of wheat fields with good growth, who can't be moved when they hear it!" How do I know that guy is not a landlord. ”
"You still dare to argue!" I raised it myself, and I knew, "Did you drink wine and sign the title deed?" ”
Tao Cheng dared to admit it, and gritted his teeth: "No, absolutely nothing." ”
The matter has come to this point, it is useless to beat, and there is no scolding.
Tao's mother lost her temper, and while going to the inner room, she asked Tao Cheng: "How much silver is missing?" ”
Tao Cheng cringed and said, "Two, two thousand taels!" ”
