Chapter 044: Miss Pays God for Wishing
Sun opened her mouth, she didn't expect that the Gao Dashan family would make a special trip to report the matter to the old lady, because He Angelica was a newcomer with a foreign surname, and she had always been cowardly, and even the subordinates in the family looked down on her, how could someone suddenly speak for her?
Ding Rongjia's complexion changed, and he took the initiative to kneel down and kowtow to the old lady to admit his mistake: "Old lady, she didn't know about the second wife who didn't send a sedan chair, and she blamed the old slave for making her own opinion, and she wanted to take the third lady back quickly, so she called the Gao Dashan family to hurry up at night." It was dinner time before we set off, and we didn't dare to disturb the old lady and the second wife, so we couldn't get the right cards, and we couldn't requisition the family's sedan chair. This matter is indeed the old slave's inconsiderate and wronged the third lady, but if the third lady thinks that the sedan chair is not good, she can bring it up at that time, and the old slave must pay out of her own pocket to hire a sedan chair worthy of her identity at the foot of the mountain. But the situation at that time was that she didn't even show her face, and just let us come back! ”
The Sun family said: "Ding Rong's family is also a person with status, will he wronged a child?" Even if we don't take Li Xiangshi's advice seriously, but now Sister Yi obviously doesn't want to return to Luo's house, maybe she still resents us for not treating her at home, but instead carries her into a remote Taoist temple. ”
Seeing that the old lady pursed her lips and didn't speak, Sun thought that she had been moved, and continued to speak: "Ancestor, what the daughter-in-law means is that since Sister Yi wants to live in the Taoist temple for a few more days, then we will simply pick her up a year and a half later, and let her live in the Taoist temple to grind the wild character cultivated in the former farm." In the future, his temperament will be smoother, and he will not suffer a loss when he marries, unlike Chuanxiong, who has a stiff quarrel with her husband every time she marries. Young Master, you represent your long house; Mei Qiao, you represent the third room; Since the ancestor said that I was prejudiced against Sister Yi, then I won't take a stand, you Changfang and Sanfang will make a decision, and then persuade the ancestor together. ”
Speaking of this, Sun was slightly proud in his heart, because the representative candidates for the long room and the third room were all proposed by her, and she would definitely echo her opinion. Although the Zhao family and the Dong family in the long room are at odds with him, the former brother is quite deferential to him, and he smiles every time he sees him. Two years ago, the third master went to the north to do the deer antler tiger bone business, and there was no one in the one wife and two concubines with her, she did not have any backers in this family, and she would never dare to offend herself as the housewife!
Sure enough, Aunt Mei felt Sun's gaze fall on her face, and hurriedly stated her position: "What the second wife said is very reasonable, and the concubine agrees very much." Besides, it's not that we won't pick up the third lady back, but just let the Taoist Temple discipline her wild and untamable nature on our behalf. The concubines heard that those Taoist nuns had their own set of methods for disciplining people, and the people they managed were as well-behaved as kittens. Although the third lady doesn't understand our good intentions now, when she gets married in the future, she will know that we are all for her good, and she will turn around and thank us at that time. ”
What a clever mouth, Sun applauded in her heart, better than the excuse she thought of herself, since Aunt Mei knows current affairs so well, let's put He Angelica's monthly example into her monthly routine. Then, Sun glanced at Luo Bai with a clear and charming gaze, and said in his heart, your performance was not good just now, and now you must know what to say.
Luo Bai didn't want to follow Sun's words and sell her a favor. However, just because he had other difficulties, this time he had to offend the Sun family once, and then slowly find a way to remedy it. Thinking of this, Luo Baiqian stubbornly said: "After all, the third sister is the only daughter of the little aunt, and I can't bear to let her live outside. Many of our mothers have participated in the training of show girls, and it is more than enough to teach the third sister, not to mention that I see that the third sister has been well-behaved like a kitten, and if she teaches again, she will become a little mouse. ”
The old lady turned to joy when she heard this, and laughed: "Hehe, it's still my ex-brother's words that are very much in line with me, Sister Yi is three points more well-behaved than her mother, where to let Aunt Dao discipline her!" ”
Sun secretly hated and remedied: "I'm not saying that Sister Yi is bad, but I just said that she didn't do the right thing to refuse to go home this time, and she should be punished, and it also made the other sisters take warning." Since the opinions of the long room and the third room are different, and it is inconvenient for me to express my opinions, it is better to postpone for a month or two and then go to the water business temple to pick up people. So that she understands a truth, our Luo family is her benefactor, whether she gives more or less, it is our kindness, she should learn to be grateful instead of disobedient. ”
The old lady shook her head and sighed, and finally waved her hand and said, "For the sake of your loss of your brother and your hard work on weekdays, I won't care about you." I really have to worry about everything, Sister Yi is a hard-working child, can't your aunt hurt her more? Also, Sister Yi has asked the Gao Dashan family to convey the reason why I lived in the Taoist temple until the seventeenth of this month, and the reason why I haven't said it is because I am afraid that your face will be panicked. Since Sister Mei'er is holding on to this, then I'll talk about the reason. ”
Luo Baiqian said strangely: "What is the reason?" ”
The old lady glanced at the Sun, Aunt Mei, and Ding Rong's family in the house, and slowly asked, "You guys, who still remembers what day September 17 is?" Seeing that the three of them were all looking at each other, she looked at Luo Baiqian again and asked, "Brother Qian, what about you, do you know?" Luo Baiqian also shook his head, isn't September 17 every year very ordinary, no one's birthday, what's so special about this year?
The old lady shook her head and said to them: "September 17 of this year is the Jiayin day of the first month of the Jiaxu year, and Sister Yi was instructed by the gods in her dream to bathe and burn incense on this day, worship heaven and earth, worship Sanqing, and pray for the health of the elders. Moreover, this day is of great commemorative significance to our Luo family, Ding Rong's family, you just said that people can't forget their roots, so you might as well go back and think about what day September 17 is for your second grandmother. Whoever thinks of it, you can come and tell me, and I will reward him with a favor. ”
Several people were confused, and they didn't know what medicine the old lady was selling in her gourd.
The old lady walked down the soft couch with her waist, Pomegranate hurriedly went over to pick her up, and the two walked to the entrance of the ear room, and the old lady turned her back to them and said: "Mei Qiao also said that the Taoist temple lives in poverty, and no one wants to let go of the blessings and stay in a barren mountain Taoist temple to eat fast and chant scriptures." Sister Keyi is a filial person, and she would rather suffer more than repay her vows to God and ask for peace and happiness for the Luo family. I'm not Chuanxiong's mother, I'm not Sister Yi's grandmother, you often blame me for favoring them in the past, but which one of you makes me feel comfortable? I just value filial piety and sensible good boy, second daughter-in-law, you ordered to go down, on the morning of September 18, I took Sister Yi back to Luo's house in a sedan chair, and I still lived in the original West Cross Courtyard. ”
The second lady bowed her head, and the pomegranate helped the old lady into the ear room, and the licorice lamp grass behind followed up and put down the bead curtain on that side. The crowd saluted the beaded curtain and retreated.
Luo Baiqian walked out in confusion, still thinking about the relationship between September 17 and the Luo family.
Sun passed by him, his footsteps did not stop, and he dropped a whisper with a cold smile: "Hey, I forgot, your father and Sister Yi's mother are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and you and Sister Yi are cousins, you are closer than others, which is really enviable." ”
When passing by a hibiscus flower garden, Sun reached out and grabbed a handful of autumn hibiscus, crushed it in the palm of his hand, and said hatefully: "It's really a house built on ice, it's not reliable, and men don't have a good thing!" ”
Ding Rong's family echoed and said: "Men are reliable, pigs can climb trees, why should grandma be angry with irrelevant people, who in this family doesn't rely on you to live." What if the one came back, grandma had a way to treat her, and kept it so that she could swallow it bitterly. ”
Sun gritted his teeth: "I hate to see her face, that face with He Jingxian's shadow between her nose and eyes." ”

"Xiaoyi, you're going back to Luo's house soon, isn't it too cumbersome to bring too many things? Besides, if you don't have any good clothes at home, why buy cloth outside and make your own clothes? Zhenjing was very tired from holding two black cloths in her arms, so she couldn't help but complain.
"Zhenjing, you don't know, when I go back to the Luo family, my clothes and consumption will be extremely deducted, although it is not like in the Taoist temple that I can't even eat, but there is another general There are no risk factors now, so we must prepare early." He Angelica was holding a large wine jar in her left hand and a bag of bulging medicinal herbs in her right hand, which was several times heavier than the cloth in Zhenjing's hand, but she was still walking like flying.
Internal force is really a good thing, so that people are not tired of running, and they are not tired of doing hard work. She couldn't help but wonder a little now, what level of internal strength has she reached, and what kind of difficult action is her current limit? It's better to learn from Chu Overlord another day, and try whether the big copper tripod can afford to carry it.
Zhenjing tilted her head: "Who withheld your food and clothing?" How can it be dangerous in your own home? ”
He Angelica turned his head to look at the salted duck eggs at the door of a grocery store, and said to Zhenjing: "It's hard to explain the reason to you, anyway, after you go back with me, you just need to treat all the people in my family as evil people." You remember, in Luo's house, don't talk to strangers, don't believe what others say to you, in short, except for my words, your words are credible, and you take other people's words as a breath. You can't eat unknown food sent by others, you have to come and tell me first when someone tells you to go with him, and if someone touches you physically, you have to scream loudly and scare the other person away......"
Zhenjing heard that she could stuff an egg in her mouth, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect your house to be such a dangerous place, so I have to prepare early!" ”
He Angelica smiled in surprise and asked, "What do you have to prepare for this girl?" ”
Zhenjing shook her head proudly: "I am also a heavenly opportunity that cannot be revealed!" In his heart, he couldn't wait for He Angelica, and he also chased after her curiously to inquire.
"Ah, I found it." He Angelica raised his hand and pointed, "Look, there is the money village in front, where you can rent temporary containers, let's send the things in our hands there first, and then hire a carriage to send us to the door of the Taoist temple at night, saving time and effort." Just enough to save a few silver tickets, save yourself from bringing them to the market and being remembered. Since just now, there have been two or three guys who neither go shopping nor buy anything, and they have been following us all the way. ”
"Really?! Where is it! Zhenjing looked around in a panic, clinging to He Angelica with her elbow, guessing, "Xiaoyi, could it be sent by the shopkeeper of the Jingji coffin shop just now?" He blamed us for earning more of his silver, and when he saw that our bodyguards were gone, he wanted to snatch the money back! ”
"Don't worry, the transaction between me and Shopkeeper Jing is valuable and marketable, you and I are willing. Although I made an extra 10% of him by my small tricks, in business, I guarantee that he will definitely not suffer. As long as he decorates the fragrant wooden coffin well, and then pulls it to Yangzhou to find a good buyer, it is safe to earn three or four hundred taels. He Angelica looked at her raising the cloth high, looking like she was going to do a big fight, and couldn't help but smile and persuade, "The three people in the back, I look at them as just ordinary thieves, and when they see us buying things and taking money, they follow them up, they really don't look like the local snakes here." Besides, the laws of the Ming Dynasty are strict, and no one dares to rob openly on the street. Silly girl, take your cloth back first, listen to me, it won't hurt to hit people with cloth, if a bad person really comes, you should kick it with your feet, like this! ”
He Angelica casually kicked up a small pebble with his toes, and the pebble flew straight to a big tree more than ten zhang away.
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, the stone broke through the wood, and it didn't even enter the trunk of the tree, leaving only a small black and deep hole. Because the stones flew low and the sound of breaking wood was not loud, almost no passers-by noticed this scene.
