Chapter 102: Old Things
Lan Xiang listened to half of the words of the old lady and Aunt Sun, and turned her head sideways to give Fleur a look.
In the end, it is the master and servant who have been with each other for many years, Furong understands, first bends her knees to greet the old lady, and then asks Aunt Sun how she is doing, and then says: "Our young lady is a prosperous husband with a face." ”
Aunt Sun twitched the corners of her mouth as if she was smiling, and looked at the old lady meaningfully.
The old lady was smoking a cigarette, and the smoke filled her face, and she said lightly: "The two acacia plants at the weeping flower gate block the light, turn around and ask Acton to bring a few boys and cut it." ”
The acacia tree, also known as the hibiscus tree, the meaning of the old lady's words, several people present knew it by heart.
Fleur looked frightened and hurriedly retreated behind Lan Xiang.
Lan Xiang looked embarrassed, and immediately dropped the words: "Let's not talk about the two acacia trees, let's talk about the jade girl, I went to my brother's bedroom last night, and those daughters-in-law chewed their tongues behind their backs early this morning, how ugly and ugly it was." ”
The old lady just wanted to put the mouth of the cigarette pouch in her mouth, and said in amazement: "Yugo went to Yi'er's bedroom?" ”
Lan Xiang nodded: "Yes, I will leave after a long time." ”
Aunt Sun was scheming, and said with a slight smile: "How can the girl know so detailed?" ”
Lan Xiang was stunned.
The old lady's face suddenly sank, and she glanced at Lan Xiang and said, "Also, you are a girl's family, and it is not good to stare at these things." ”
A red glow flew on Lan Xiang's cheeks: "I listened to those daughters-in-law." ”
The spark in the cigarette pouch gradually weakened, the old lady handed it over, and Aunt Sun grabbed a pinch of cigarette material from the copper basket on the kang table and put it in, pressed it with her fingers, compacted it, and took the paper medium to light it, and returned it to the old lady. I don't think the jade girl is very good, but it's not so cheap, in short, her reputation is not important, Heng Zhi is a guest, stay for a few days and leave, but you can't let these things ruin the reputation of the general, don't say that in Wula, Jilin, even if it is Beijing City, our general is also famous, long live the lord, the queen mother likes it, otherwise how can you give marriage. ”
She said something to the old lady's heart, and she only smoked and smoked, without saying a word.
Lan Xiang's face was white and red for a while, and she didn't get any benefits herself, so she found an excuse to leave.
I heard the girl outside say, "Miss, let's go back." ”
Lan Xiang was weak: "Hmm." ”
Aunt Sun in the room spat at the window: "It's still a thief." ”
The old lady snorted: "So what, she is just an orphan girl rescued by Yi'er, her family background is unknown, relying on Yi'er to call her brother, I will become her mother, but I want to be my daughter-in-law of the Guerjia clan, she is far from enough, I am thinking about it these days, as soon as the matter of Shuyu Gege passes, I will find her a mother-in-law to marry, so as to save Yi'er, I also told you about this, do you have a suitable one in your heart?" ”
Aunt Sun nodded: "Yes, the Tian family who opened a medicine shop on the street, such a big deal, people have taken a fancy to the name of the General's Mansion, and they don't care what Lanxiang's origin is, I told the woman who was in charge of Tian, she has no opinion, and when I ask the shopkeeper Tian, this matter will be settled." ”
Tian Ji crude medicine shop, the old lady knows, but Jilin Ula can't find a few such big facades, Tian shopkeeper himself is the owner, and he also sits in the hall to see people, although the lintel of the Tian family in the general's mansion is lower, in short, Lanxiang is not her own daughter, she is not the daughter of the Guerjia family, so it is not an insult to her, the old lady said: "You should be more concerned about this matter." ”
Aunt Sun promised: "When Master Tian has a letter, as soon as the matchmaker arrives, the matter will be settled." ”
Suddenly, he asked, "Do you want to say anything about Lan Xiang?" ”
The old lady shook her head: "No need, she calls me a mother, and the parents are in charge of all major marriage matters." ”
Aunt Sun was faintly worried, afraid that Lan Xiang would have a pimple in her heart and would not marry smoothly.
A few days later, the Tian family came to the news, and the Tian shopkeeper had no objection to this family business, and specially invited two matchmakers to come over to propose marriage, and the old lady agreed.
The marriage was decided, and Lan Xiang was informed, she was stunned for the second half of the day, and only when Fleur called "Miss", she sighed as if she had woken up from a dream.
Furong knew that she was unwilling, so she persuaded: "The slave knows that the Tian family, but it is one of the largest families in Jilin Ula." ”
Lan Xiang glanced at her: "You married." ”
Furong choked, and said in her heart, if I can marry Tian Gongzi, it will be a blessing that I have cultivated in eight lifetimes.
Lan Xiang was silent again, thought about it for a long time, then climbed on the kang, took out a new pair of shoes from the kang cabinet, found a small baggage leather bag, and held it in her arms, and did not allow Furong to follow, and went to Aunt Sun's residence alone.
It just so happened that Aunt Sun was sitting on the kang drinking alone, Lan Xiang pushed the door in, and the smell of wine in the room made her nauseous, and she didn't dare to show disgust, so she called "Auntie", and sat cross-legged opposite Aunt Sun like an old acquaintance.
"Why is the girl here?" Aunt Sun took a sip of wine, put down the wine cup, pulled out a few peanuts and a sweet potato from the mud brazier, and ate the wine fragrantly.
Lan Xiang opened the bag, took out the pair of shoes and said, "I just made a pair of shoes, which are a little squeezed, so I want to give them to my aunt." ”
Aunt Sun glanced at it and shook her head: "It's too fancy, I'm so god-old, I'm not dressed appropriately." ”
Lan Xiang smiled: "Who said that my aunt is old, my aunt is a beauty that we can count in Jilin Ula, and it is appropriate to dress no matter how fancy she is." ”
Knowing that it was flattery, it was also very useful to listen to, Aunt Sun sighed with emotion: "That was all back then." ”
Lan Xiang put her shoes on the kang, looking at her black hands of peeling peanuts and sweet potatoes, the charm was gone, all that was left was the wrinkles on her face, and her unkempt and sloppy appearance, Lan Xiang was disgusted in her heart, and she didn't dare to show it on her face, and said: "Yes, the old general had a soft spot for his aunt, why didn't he achieve a good marriage, it's a pity." ”
Aunt Sun's face was cold, like someone who poured a basin of cold water on her head, her heart was excited, and she said with a little displeasure: "If the girl has nothing else, please go back, I'm drunk and want to rest." ”
Lan Xiang said, "Okay, I won't disturb my aunt." ”
said goodbye and left, went out of the door and smiled coldly, and said in his heart, you don't let me be happy, I don't let you have a good time, if it weren't for the old lady, you would have become the concubine of the old general, I don't know if you really forgot or fakely forgot, this is a reminder to you, so that you also know what it's like to lose your beloved.
In the room, Aunt Sun pushed open the wine cup, leaned and slowly fell on the kang, tears slowly overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and she said to herself tiredly: "Drunk, really drunk." ”
