Chapter 32: Brother-in-law
However, in a few days, rumors spread throughout the Wu family, and people were spreading that the eldest lady Wu Yuan was a disaster star.
For a while, few people stepped on the threshold of the middle courtyard, and even the people who sprinkled the sweep left in a hurry after finishing their work, for fear of being contaminated with bad luck.
"Sister Lilac, look, why are those subordinates so snobbish, and they believe whatever they say outside? You say that the eldest lady can't really be a scourge, right? Yuzhu asked worriedly.
"What nonsense, we are all in the same yard, do you see that Miss is a scourge? Aren't we all fine! How can you believe all that nonsense that is circulating outside. Seeing Yuzhu's hesitation, Lilac said angrily.
"I'm just talking nonsense, phew, bah, bah, Sister Lilac, don't be angry, what kind of person Miss is, we all know it, someone must want to frame Miss." Yuzhu saw that Lilac was about to get angry, and hurriedly pulled Lilac and said with kind words.
"Okay, you can have a snack, Miss is so good to us, we can't break Miss's heart." Lilac pulled Yuzhu and said, "I'm going to go out later, you remember to take care of the yard, Ruxin Ruyi and the two of them don't do anything for a day, just follow those people to chew the root of their tongues, don't mix with them." ”
Lilac hurriedly responded, "You can go, don't worry." ”
It was noon, Wu Yuan took a nap in the house after lunch, Lilac pulled the embroidered curtain, saw Wu Yuan sleeping sweetly, and quietly went out of the house.
Lilac walked through the verandah, turned into a side door, the mother-in-law guarding the back door of the kitchen was dozing off in front of the door, the maids all called her fat mother, the fat mother is the most kind and poisonous, the maids always ask her to sneak out of the house to see a relative or want to buy something on weekdays.
Lilac pushed the fat woman and said softly, "Fat mother, fat mother, wake up." ”
The fat woman was dreaming, and was suddenly woken up, stood up with a "bang", and hit the vegetable basket next to her.
"What's the matter! Dead girl! All the good dreams are all noisy by you! Say it! What do you want to do? The fat woman crossed her waist with her hands and said impatiently.
Lilac flattered with a smile, took out a few pieces of silver and stuffed them into the arms of the fat woman, and said, "I want to go out to meet a brother, the young lady agreed, and I will come back soon, and I will ask the fat mother to make it convenient." These scattered pieces of silver also asked the fat mother to buy some wine and food to eat, and it was used as a lilac to honor the fat mother's care for me on weekdays. ”
The fat woman scolded and said while opening the door: "Even if you have a conscience, unlike those cheap hooves who are ungrateful, they forget my fat woman when they climb the high branches, you go and come back quickly, otherwise I will be punished with you when the time comes." ”
Lilac hurriedly nodded and got out of the back door, walked along the riverbank, walked all the way through the alley, and came to the door of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, the two stone lions at the door of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau were majestic and solemn, and there was a person wearing a sword and armor standing on both sides of the high steps.
Lilac was a little stunned, according to what was written on the name card handed in by the righteous brother, the righteous brother had changed his name to Wang Yong.
Lilac stood at the gate for a while before she mustered up the courage to walk up the steps and asked, "Big brother, I want to find someone named Wang Yong." ”
The janitor looked Lilac up and down, said "Wait," and went in to pass the word.
Another janitor smiled and asked, "Sister, who are you from Wang Dart?" What are you looking for him for? ”
Lilac was a little overwhelmed and replied, "He is my brother-in-law." ”
As he was talking, he saw a dark, strong man in a tight-fitting suit striding out of the room, laughing, "Girl, I'm waiting for you." ”
Only then did Ding Xiang recognize that this was her brother-in-law Wang Yong, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Big brother." ”
Wang Yong patted the janitor's head and said, "Let your eyes roll around, this is my sister." ”
The janitor smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother Wang, your sister is really smart." If only we had such a clever girl. ”
"you, take a good look at the gate!" Wang Yong kicked the gatekeeper's buttocks, turned his head to Lilac and said softly: "Sister, don't be afraid, they are used to being wild and have never seen a woman." Let's go in, as soon as the eldest brother came back, he handed over the post to the Wu family, why did you only come out today? Is the Wu family not allowing you to come out? ”
Lilac hurriedly said: "No, no, don't get me wrong, big brother, Miss treats me very well, we went to the temple on the outskirts of the city a few days ago to accompany the old lady to make a vow, just came back yesterday, after the young lady saw your post, she allowed me to go out of the house to see you." ”
The two walked inside while talking, and along the way they passed by the martial arts training ground of the dart game, and they were all a group of men who were practicing martial arts, and they all smiled and greeted Wang Yong when they saw him.
After a while, he arrived at the main hall, Wang Yong smiled and said to Lilac: "Sister, come, I've seen the big boss of the dart game." ”
Lilac was stunned for a moment, and said with some concern: "Big brother, I'm afraid, I'm just a maidservant, how dare I disturb others?" ”
"Don't be afraid, sister, the big boss is my father-in-law, that is, your father-in-law, when I came to the dart game to eat, fortunately I met my father-in-law who took me in and taught me martial arts, otherwise my eldest brother would have starved to death on the street."
Lilac listened to Wang Yong's words, obediently followed Wang Yong into the main hall, and saw a single middle-aged man sitting at the head of the hall with a dignified face.
Lilac hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Lilac greets the big boss." ”
The one-eyed man laughed and said to Wang Yong: "Yong'er, this is the righteous sister you said, right?" ”
"Yes, father-in-law, it's her, my sister-in-law Lilac."
Wang Yong turned his head and said encouragingly to Lilac, "Sister, call your father-in-law quickly." ”
Only then did Lilac change her tone and call "father-in-law" affectionately.
The one-eyed man stood up, picked up Lilac, laughed and said, "Okay, good, good, my Wang Zhenyuan now has another daughter, okay!" Good! Good! Tell the lady to come out and recognize her new girl. ”
After a while, I saw a heroic woman in red coming out of the backyard.
"Lilac, this is your sister, Zhaodi." Wang Zhenyuan introduced with a smile.
Lilac hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Sister Zhaodi." ”
Wang Zhaodi waved her hand and said, "You are the righteous sister that the wooden pimple said?" Fortunately, you are not biological brothers and sisters, otherwise you would be as dark and silly as a pimple, or you are beautiful and beautiful. Don't call me Sister Zhaodi, it's ugly to death, my father wanted to have a son, but he gave birth to a woman like me, so he gave me such an ugly name. You are a maid from a big family, or you can help me come up with a nice name, anyway, I don't want to hear the word Zhaodi. ”
It was the first time for Lilac to see such a bold woman, and she suddenly didn't know what to do, so she said tentatively: "Otherwise, I'll call you Sister Red Sleeves, you look so good in red clothes." ”
"Red Sleeves, Red Sleeves." Wang Zhaodi read it silently twice, clapped her hands and said: "Just call me Red Sleeves, this name is good, a hundred times better than my father's old name." ”
Wang Zhenyuan was quite helpless, he had walked the rivers and lakes for most of his life, and he had never seen any strong winds and waves, but there was nothing he could do about this daughter. Since her mother died in childbirth, this daughter has been raised as a boy, following him to walk the rivers and lakes, running darts everywhere, and there is no appearance of a lady.
Well, now I have another girl today, and I am still a gentle and quiet girl!
