Chapter 30 The Lady of the Wu Family
Because of the urgency of the matter, on the same day, Yunshui Lou began to pack her luggage, in order to prevent Bai Zihua from being afraid of Mrs. Wu and refusing to go to Xiaohezhuang, whether she knew it or not, she said to her: "Now the family has to prepare the girl's good deeds, and the busy will inevitably affect the girl's rest, the old lady is distressed, and plans to let the girl live in the village for a few days, so that the day of the cabinet is so glorious!" β
You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie privately persuaded her: "You are now in Yunshui Building, although you have started to eat, but the place is familiar and not new, and no one can tell you to do anything now, you can't help but worry about this and that when you are idle, it is not good, it is better to go out and live for two days, look at the fresh flowers and plants in the house outside, and wait until you come back to hear the good news?" β
He also said, "It's spring now, and the eldest sister-in-law's Zhuangzi who married heard that the scenery is excellent, so it's better to go over and have a look, after all, it's rare to want to live such a leisurely life after being a wife." β
Bai Zihua was originally an indecisive person, but as soon as he was said by everyone, he had no idea and nodded in confusion.
Afraid that she would recognize the direction of Qujiazhuang on the way, You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie led her all the way to talk about the east and west, and disgusted that the curtain was dusty, so they talked and laughed all the way in the carriage to the courtyard where the Meng family was married, and until the outside of the house, Zhuo Zhaojie took advantage of You Can and Bai Zihua to talk and quietly opened the curtain and looked - looking at it at dusk, it was a house facing the river, as if it was plated with gold edges, the pink walls and tiles were very exquisite, and many willows were planted inside and outside the house, and at this time it was very pleasing to the eye, Through the willow smoke, you can see the pavilions and rockeries inside, and you can see that although the place is not big, it is also very attentive, in the end, it is the marriage of the niece of Taishou.
The carriage drove all the way into the courtyard before stopping, and the maids went down first, and helped the three of them down one by one, but they saw that the common but bright plants and trees were planted all aroundβin the end, they were individual courtyards, and heavy things such as rockeries were also returned, but the precious flowers and trees were planted but they were afraid that they could not be saved.
Bai Zihua has something in her heart, she has not thought about enjoying the scenery for a long time, at the moment to see the flowers and grass, although they are all ordinary trees in the south of the Yangtze River, she is particularly interested, they brought the cook, because the time is almost up, soon after they sent someone to ask about the food, Mama Ping accompanied her, and said on the side: "Because of the river, the fish and shrimp here are much fresher than in the city, just fish up in the small river next to them, do the girls want to taste it?" β
"I remember Qi Niang's favorite sweet and sour carp?" Bai Zihua was in a good mood, so he showed a considerate temperament.
Zhuo Zhaojie smiled: "It's hard to think that Sister Bai will still be thinking about me...... I don't have this thoughtfulness, what kind of fish does Sister Bai like? β
"I, I like lighter, just steam one." Bai Zihua was praised by her, her mood seemed to be a little better, and the corners of her mouth curled and said.
You Can said: "You two want fish, I want to eat some pork." β
At that moment, Mama Ping suggested adding a few seasonal vegetables and asked the little maid to remember it and tell the cook.
When they arrived at the new place, Zhuo Zhaojie and You Can were thinking about how to deal with Mrs. Nawu tomorrow, but Bai Zihua was hidden, full of interest, and pulled them to talk a lot before going to sleep, and when she slept, You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie didn't dare to sleep like this, so they called Mama Ping over: "Ming'er has to work hard to invite Mrs. Wu over." β
"How dare the old body be two girls and ask for a word?" Mama Ping hurriedly said, "The two girls are running around like this for my family's four mothers, and the two girls should be thanked." β
You Can was impatient and spent his time on politeness, so he stopped Zhuo Zhaojie and said bluntly: "Then, let's call the fourth cousin to sleep today, and after Ming'er Mama goes out, let's tell her again!" β
Zhuo Zhaojie also felt that Bai Zihua was sexual. It's better to hide a lot of things from the meeting, but I'm still a little worried about Mrs. Wu: "Mrs. Wu had to see Sister Bai before she was willing to return the letter, Mama had seen her, I don't know what kind of person this lady is?" But what other plan did you set up while Sister Bai was here......"
Mama Ping understood what she meant, shook her head slightly, and said, "That Mrs. Wu looks like a powerful lady!" It's just that the bearing of the Jing Hai cloth skirt is not bad, as if she also knows poetry and books, although she refused the request of the old body, she didn't say anything unpleasant, only said that the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and Siniang personally guaranteed that she would not return it. β
He looked at him coldly and said, "If the old body looks away...... The old lady is also prepared, we brought dozens of healthy servants over this time, and it is not without ...... The two girls can rest assured! β
Knowing that the Lu family has made up their minds, if the conditions are not good, they will kill people and kill people, or even kill people and plant false accusations, for the sake of the reputation of the Bai family and the Lin family, the in-laws, they will have to do it.
Zhuo Zhaojie and You Can pursed their lips, their faces were a little unnatural, Mama Ping immediately felt it, and hurriedly said: "These things are noble girls, so you don't need to know about them, just leave them to the old body!" β
The next day, Mama Ping didn't get up early, and it wasn't until almost noon that she picked up a basket, put some embroidery in it, and came over and said, "Three girls, the old body will go here." β
Bai Zihuaqi said: "Mama, where are you going?" β
"Mama, go." You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie glanced at each other, but they both said softly.
When Mama Ping left, Bai Zihua looked at them in confusion and said, "This is?" β
"Mama Ping, go and invite someone to come over to see you, fourth cousin." You Can looked around, and sent the person away first, and then said.
Bai Zihua asked curiously, "Who?" As he spoke, his face turned red......
You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie knew that they had guessed wrong when they saw her like this, coughed, and said: "Now that the wedding date is imminent, you always have to avoid suspicion, so it is impossible for Lin Jialangjun to call him when he is nearby." β
"That'...... Who's that? When Bai Zihua heard this, he was busy with shyness, and said with disgust.
"Naturally...... Mrs. Wu! When You Can said this, he saw that Bai Zihua's face changed greatly, and he almost overturned the small case in front of him, suddenly raised his hand, pointed at You Can, his lips trembled for a long time and he couldn't speak, but he screamed, and he was about to run when he got up!
You Can immediately jumped up, caught up with her sleeve and shouted, "What are you running!" β
The maids of the three people in the distance saw that the situation was wrong, and they all hugged up, and Zhuo Zhaojie also got up and shouted in a deep voice: "All retreat!" It's none of your business! β
helped You Can press Bai Zihua back to his place together, and saw Bai Zihua looking at them angrily and shouting, "You two lied to me!" You ......"
"Fourth cousin, shut up for me!" You Can shouted, "If it weren't for you, the two of us would follow up what to do on this troubled water!" β
Bai Zihua has a cowardly temperament, although he is full of resentment now, he didn't dare to fight back after being reprimanded, but his eyes were red and he was about to cry, Zhuo Zhaojie frowned and said, "Sister Bai, don't misunderstand!" In fact, yesterday, Mama Ping came to look for Mrs. Wu, and wanted to take the letter back, what Grandzu Lu's mother said, no matter what Mrs. Wu wanted, but if the Bai family can take it out, she will not be stingy, but Mrs. Wu must see you in person, and you will not be willing to return it until you promise not to deal with Na Qu Fuzi again...... Otherwise, you are a girl who is about to leave the cabinet, how can a good elder allow you to go out? β
"So you lied to me for everything you said to come here to relax!" Bai Zihua whimpered, "What kind of place is this?" β
"This is not far from Xiaohezhuang, and Qujiazhuang is in front of it." You Can saw that although she was whimpering, she didn't make a fuss and didn't run, so she let go of her hand, couldn't help wiping the sweat on her forehead, and hummed, "Then Mrs. Wu came here alone, but we are here with so many people to accompany you, what are you afraid of?" She dares to come, are you afraid that she will eat you in front of us? β
Bai Zihua said aggrievedly: "But she ......"
"But what is she?" You Can said impatiently, "When you wrote a letter to her husband and fell into her hands, she just scolded you, and left a letter to prevent you from pestering again, but it was not advertised everywhere!" I see this Mrs. Wu is much more reliable than you! β
Bai Zihua was scolded by her and didn't dare to fight back, Zhuo Zhaojie persuaded her a few more words, and said, "Then Mrs. Wu thinks that Sister Bai still remembers her husband now!" Not to mention that she has been married to Qu Fuzi for a long time, not to mention, Sister Bai's current husband is a student of Huaixing Academy, with a bright future and complete talent and appearance, isn't it much better than a master in Zhuangzi? When we meet, just talk about it. β
Although Bai Zihua was still not at ease, You Canqiang waited here according to her, and could only sit with tears in her eyes, and after a while, she saw Mama Ping holding the basket as usual and leading a woman in cloth into the door.
You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie both fixed their eyes to see the woman - but it was a woman in her twenties, her appearance was mediocre, and her skin was delicate and fair, but this is not surprising, now the world is too peaceful and rich, and the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are nourishing, and the woman here is under the age of thirty, unless she is sick or particularly poor, her skin is not bad, and her figure is also ordinary, only a pair of eyes are not big or small, but they are shining, and she looks very calm and assertive.
Although Bai Zihua and Mama Ping both said that she was a pungent woman, it seemed that You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie felt more capable.
When I got closer, I saw that this woman was not only wearing a coarse cloth dress, but also did not even add ornaments, a silver hairpin on her head that had been dimmed, and her hair was meticulous, although she saw that her family was poor, but she was clean and decent, if it weren't for Bai Zihua's affairs, You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie's impression of this woman was really not bad.
Mama Ping stopped at the foot of the steps and introduced: "This is Mrs. Wu, and the best embroidery girl in the neighborhood is her." β
Obviously, she deliberately took a basket of embroidery samples to find someone, and she was also ready to make excuses.
Then he called to the handmaidens of the neighborhood, "Go down, all of you." β
When the maids were all sent away, You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie saw that Mrs. Wu was standing at the bottom of the stairs with an indifferent expression, and Bai Zihua began to tremble after a few casual glances from her, and sighed in their hearts, so they had to get up and go down the stairs to greet them, and said, "Mrs. Wu, please sit down." β
Mrs. Wu said: "Mountain women, don't dare to delay the good days of a few girls, and ask the white lady to make an oath, and I will take Mama Ping to retrieve the letterhead." β
I didn't expect her to be so direct, You Can liked such a person, and immediately said: "In that case, cousin, you will make it clear to Mrs. Wu - you were also confused back then, and these days you don't think about this matter, and you have lost weight like this!" What's more, today's cousin-in-law is a wonderful person. β
Her last few words were for Mrs. Wu, but Mrs. Wu didn't pay attention to it when she heard it, and only looked at Bai Zihua.
Bai Zihua choked back tears, got up tremblingly and said, "I...... I don't dare anymore! β
Seeing that she was so cowardly, You Can, Zhuo Zhaojie and Mama Ping all sighed in their hearts, but Mrs. Wu pressed tightly: "Please also ask the White Lady to swear that in this life and this life, no matter what the situation is, she will never have the slightest relationship with her clumsy husband, let alone take revenge for it, otherwise in this life and this life, the children and grandchildren will be retributioned and there will be no peace!" β
