Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Lady Squire Visits

At lunch, Noya was very fortunate to be left in Haitang Bay and ate with the old lady. She knew that the old lady had a lot of rules, she didn't say anything when she ate, and she didn't say anything when she slept, so she ate her head in a regular manner, tried to be as slow and methodical as possible, and only picked the vegetables in front of her.

The old lady picked bones in the eggs, and admonished with a calm face: "Young people should not be too picky when eating, they are too willful." ”

Noah choked, holding back anger in her stomach, and couldn't help but want to burp. Quickly took a sip of tea and pressed it down, picked up a little bit of chopstick-like vegetables and vegetables, and stuffed them into his mouth, which tasted like chewing wax. I only felt that the air pressure on the table was dull, and the food was definitely not too easy to digest, so I ate one and a half full.

After rinsing her mouth, before she could take a breath, the old lady urged her to continue her hard study. Noah had slept well in the morning, and at this time she was full of energy, so she began to wander, listening to the whispers of the people in the courtyard with her ears.

She heard someone outside the courtyard trotting through the alley without staying, and went straight into the back room, and reported to the old lady that the lady of the military department had presented a letter of worship and came to visit her old man's house.

The old lady was taking a nap, got up and sorted out her clothes, turned around and ordered the man, hurry up to the Ukiyo Pavilion and invite Mrs. An to Haitang Bay.

Lin Nuoya woke up to her later senses, isn't this so-called Mrs. Squire of the Ministry of War an An Ruoxi's mother?

What is she doing here? Visiting An Ruoxi? I heard that An Ruoxi has been doing a bit of work these days, contracted a cold, and is recuperating in bed.

Noya was a little curious, the last time she returned to the banquet, she had seen An Shilang and several handsome sons of Anfu. But this lady has not met. I don't know what she looks like compared to Qin Darling's black, red and stout tower mother?

The old lady lifted the curtain and saw that Nuoya was still sitting there pretending to listen to the lecture, and waved her hand: "There are distinguished guests visiting the house, you can step back for the time being, go to the ear room to continue studying, I will have time to take the test for you later." ”

The old lady didn't dare to let the tiger return to the mountain, lest if she returned to Yiniantang, Mama Jiao Xi would definitely not be able to restrain her.

Nuoya naturally couldn't ask for it, so she hurriedly cleaned up the messy paper and ink on the table, and then turned around and slipped out with the teaching mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the threshold, Mrs. An Shilang had already walked in under the leadership of the steward, and her steps were a little hurried.

Noya didn't expect her to come so quickly, it should be that the steward didn't dare to slack off, so he invited him into the house for tea first. Now it was too late to dodge, and it was rude, so he could only avoid it sideways, and symbolically bent his knees with his subordinates.

The old lady heard the sound and greeted each other, and the two met each other, inevitably with a set of red tape and greetings with each other.

Lin Nuoya secretly glanced at An Ruoxi's mother, who was seven points similar to An Ruoxi's bearing, plump and round, and looked graceful and rich. Her face is also well maintained, delicate and ruddy, and she is dressed in a triple coat of apricot blossoms and white butterflies, which makes her particularly elegant and extravagant.

Noah was looking her up and down, and when she was secretly assessing herself, the servant who followed behind Madame Squire suddenly turned his head and looked at Noah, his eyes shining.

The man's eyes were not cold, but he obviously deliberately restrained his edge, and still burst out with a cold aura, especially when he met Noah's eyes, Noah couldn't help but rise from the bottom of his heart, and shivered coldly.

The servant was rude, arrogant, and kept his eyes on Noya's face for five or six counts, with inquiry and doubt.

Noya glared back without showing weakness, and found that there was a small scar from the corner of the person's eye to the sideburns, which was inconspicuous, but judging from the obviousness of the skin color contrast, it should be a new injury, and it would definitely not be more than half a year.

"Anzhong, you just wait outside, just give the gifts in your hands to a few mothers." Mrs. Ann turned her head and commanded the man.

The man lowered his head, respectfully responded, handed the gift box in his hand to the mother-in-law in front of the old lady, bowed and withdrew, still not forgetting to glance at Noya out of the corner of his eye.

Mrs. Shilang seemed to have just discovered Noah, and asked the old lady with a smile: "Whose girl is this, she looks so thoughtful." ”

After Nuoya got married, she didn't dress up as a woman in a bun according to the rules like Qin Darling and An Ruoxi, her hair still hung down on her shoulders at will, and she didn't open her face, no wonder she was misunderstood.

The old lady didn't want to talk about it, she disliked her in her heart and couldn't get on the stage, so she said casually: "An unsuccessful girl is admonishing, Mrs. An has won the award." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand impatiently at Noah, signaling her to retreat quickly.

Noah lowered her head, lowered her eyebrows, and bowed slightly to the two, and was about to turn around and retreat.

An Ruoxi happened to be at this time, stepped into the courtyard from the outside, and when she saw Nuoya, she smiled: "The sister of the Lin family is also there?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Squire behind her stepped over in two steps and took Noya's hand affectionately: "It turns out that you are Aunt Lin, I have long heard Ruoxi's father mention you, and when I saw it today, it was really a fairy-like character." ”

Noah felt uncomfortable and tried to pull her hand out of her palm, but she squeezed it more passionately. Helplessly, he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and Noah couldn't help it, so he only laughed twice and said, "Madame has won the award." ”

Mrs. Shilang was still unaware of Nuoya's disgust, took her hand by herself, and said enviously: "I heard that Aunt Lin's cooking skills are excellent, and I have long wanted to come over to ask you for a lesson or two, but I didn't think that it was really fate, and I happened to meet here." ”

An Ruoxi also greeted her: "The craftsmanship of the sister of the Lin family, Ruoxi admires it so much, I only regret that I didn't learn cooking with my mother at the beginning, and now I can only envy it." ”

The mother and daughter sang and harmonized, which made Noya confused and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. She only understands one truth, that is, "dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice will make holes", and the child's temperament is really inseparable from tutoring.

That Qin darling said to herself that the wind is the wind, and that the rain is the rain, and Mrs. Qin is also the same pranky, and when I saw An Ruoxi's mother today, I also understood who An Ruoxi learned from the smile on the surface, and who did she learn from the style of not a good thing behind it. She Lin Nuoya didn't believe that An Ruoxi's mother, who had always regarded herself as a thorn in the flesh, would appreciate herself like this.

Mrs. Shilang looked at her left and right: "Is this fate or have I seen it before, no matter how you look at Aunt Lin, she feels very kind." Dare to ask where Aunt Lin's ancestral home is? ”

Noya knew that when the old bustard took advantage of his coma to sign the deed of sale, in order to prevent Noah's family from coming to the door to find trouble one day, he preached to the outside world that Noya was abducted and trafficked by human traffickers, but he didn't know about his amnesia, and how many people in Linlang Pavilion could guess it.

Noya prevaricated quietly: "It's insulting to the ancestors to say it, don't mention it." ”

Mrs. Shilang naturally didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so she only asked sideways: "Aunt Lin is a good Sichuan chef, in fact, you can guess without asking, it should be a Bashu person." It's just that your accent doesn't sound like it. ”

Noah only responded perfunctorily: "Ashamed, ashamed." ”

There were distinguished guests, and the old lady naturally looked at Noya unpleasantly, and warmly invited Mrs. An Shilang to sit in the room, and instructed her subordinates to serve fruit and fragrant tea, thoughtful and enthusiastic.

Noya was finally liberated and went to seek advice from Xi Pozi, and as soon as she turned around, she felt a sudden numbness in her knees, and her whole body involuntarily rushed forward, and she fell firmly, and her palms were scratched with a layer of skin.

Fortunately, all the subordinates were busy performing their duties and greeting Mrs. An Shilang, and no one noticed her, so as to avoid a lot of embarrassment.

Noah pretended to get up as if nothing had happened, rubbing her sore knees, only to feel that she had fallen inexplicably. When he looked up, he saw that the somewhat strange Anfu servant was standing at the gate of the courtyard, staring at him without blinking, as if he wanted to peel something off himself. When she saw Noah looking at her, she turned around and disappeared behind the door.

It's just strange, how could Mrs. Ann bring such a weirdo out? Noya muttered to herself, shook her head, and saw that her mother-in-law was waving to her in the ear room on the side, so she walked over.

Mrs. An Shilang also sat for a while, and the parents exchanged a few short greetings, greeted the people in the house one by one, and told An Ruoxi a few words, which was nothing more than a clichΓ© such as honoring her mother-in-law and serving her husband wholeheartedly, so she said goodbye to the old lady and An Ruoxi and left.

Noah saw through the crack in the window that the arrogant and impudent servant was following Mrs. Ann closely, with his head held high, and he walked steadily, without any humility or deference as a servant, but more like a guard or a thug.

has been tormenting, sitting until the sun is in the west, and the people in the house reported that they returned to the house for a hundred miles and nine times, and Noya temporarily escaped the clutches of the old lady.

Since Baili Jiu moved out of Yinian Hall and lived in the study, he often didn't go home at night, I heard that he and the Oiran Jinniang of the drunken dream building rekindled the old love, singing every night, and grinding his ears and temples. This finally found out with her conscience, and took the initiative to return home, and the old lady was naturally busy driving Noya out.

To be honest, Noah was a little distressed about the silver of the General's Mansion. This loser old man ignored the two flower-like mothers-in-law in his house, idle moldy and bad water, and stuffed the silver with white flowers into other people's pockets, which hurts when he thinks about it.

The old lady was also angry, scolded one by one "fox spirit", and asked her about Bailijiu's hidden illness. Lin Nuoya felt that this was all lice on the bald man's head, an obvious thing, so he betrayed Baili Jiu with great unrighteousness: "The ninth master is alive and vigorous, and he is full of aggression!" ”

I heard that the old lady immediately called Qin and An to her and said bitterly, quite hating that iron is not steel.

The two are also aggrieved, as the saying goes, "near the water, flowers and trees towards the sun", you can't see the shadow of a hundred miles and nine miles every day, how to seduce? Heroes are useless!

The old lady repeated her old tricks, looking for various reasons to return to her home, which was simply heartbreaking.

As soon as Bailijiu entered the door of the General's Mansion, it became a piece of fishy meat, and the well-informed Qin and An surrounded them like mosquitoes and flies, never leaving an inch, and they couldn't drive them away. On a cold day, the clothes are getting less and less, and the neckline is getting lower and lower, rubbing it into his arms vigorously. Until both of them were infected with the wind chill, tears flowed, and they had to stop.

Lin Nuoya felt that it was called a relief!
