Chapter 259: Interesting Fact
At the end of the day, the road was bumpy, and the bitter green stamen went to bed early, and the spring warbler went back to the room, and just drank a sip of tea, he saw the old woman come to call in person, saying that the general's wife had something to ask.
Chunying remembered those lame excuses of the green in the daytime, and hesitated slightly, wanting to find an excuse not to go, but after pondering for a moment, she lived in someone's mansion, how could she not be too rude, so she responded, followed her to the main courtyard, along the way, the old woman asked some things they were looking for without a trace, Chunying added a guard in her heart, perfunctory words, and did not say any useful news.
When she entered the main hall, the old woman gave the general's wife a look first, and the general's wife raised her eyebrows slightly, picked up the teacup, and drank it slowly, even if the old woman reported, "Madam, the spring warbler girl is here." She didn't even lift her eyelids as if she hadn't heard.
The spring warbler was hung in the middle of the ground, her expression was a little embarrassed, and the maids who were waiting on all sides peeked at her from time to time, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows seemed to be watching the excitement, which made her even more helpless and worried.
In this way, I don't know how long it took for the general's wife to cough twice and scolded in a low voice, "What kind of face are the things that have no rules, they have eaten the rice and grain of the General's Mansion for so many years, and they dare to be so presumptuous in front of the master?" ”
The maids immediately hung their heads and replied respectfully, "The slaves don't dare." ”
"Get out of here." The general's wife seemed to be bored, and waved everyone out.
Chunying knew that this scolding was aimed at her, her face was even redder, and she saw the general's wife coming over, and immediately bowed and saluted, "Slave Chunying greets Madame." ”
The general's wife stretched out her hand and stroked the broken hair on her sideburns, as if she had just seen her standing there at this time, and said with a smile, "Miss Chunying is here, I'm afraid it's very hard all the way, toss you here at this time, don't complain in your heart." ”
"Madame's words are serious, and the slave and maid don't dare."
"That's good, I don't like to be verbose, let's just say it, I'm very worried about your young lady, and I don't know where she is now. When asked about Green Rui today, she didn't seem to believe me, so she invited Miss Chunying to gossip. The general's wife motioned for the old woman to step forward, pressed the spring warbler with a hesitant face and sat on the chair, and then said, "Miss Chunying don't have to worry, I watched your young lady grow up, and naturally I still love her, and I was too annoyed at the beginning... Hey, if I can make up for one or two, I can explain it when the general comes back. ”
Chunying Nuo Nuo answered, "Madame's words are serious, everyone in the house knows that you love our young lady very much." She was so polite, but she still refused to tell the truth, and the general's wife was not in a hurry, but talked to her about homely things, "Miss Chunying, there are sixteen this year, right?" ”
"Yes, ma'am, in three months we will be sixteen."
"It's a good age, but you have to find a good husband, that's the rest of your life."
"That's what Madame said." The old woman answered, "The dead girl in my family, when Mrs. wanted to match her to the guards in our house, she still refused to live or die, but it was a pity that Mrs. was kind, she didn't marry a butcher outside, sharpened her knife and cut meat every day, and she hated and pity me as a mother." ”
The general's wife also sighed, "Your second girl is also a stubborn person, if she really followed Liu Dashan at the beginning, now she is the general's wife, this time the general returned from a great victory, I am afraid that General Liu will be the deputy general." ”
Their master and servant said like this, and it fell in the ears and hearts of Chunying, but grass grew, Wu Shiyi is a person from the General's Mansion, if she wants to marry him, how can she go through the general's wife, if she offends people, won't she block her good life?
However, if the lady and grandmother know that she leaked the secret and will not let her come, it will not work.
Her face turned blue and pale, and she twisted a good handkerchief in her hand like a twist, and when the general's wife and the old woman saw it, they knew that the time had come.
The old woman poured a cup of tea for Chunying, and said with a smile, "Actually, there are a lot of girls in the Houfu who are not married now, and there are many guards in our house, and they just communicate with each other, but I don't know if the girls in the Houfu will dislike these guards too rudely." ”
"No," the general's wife also smiled and answered, "I look at Eleven is a good one, good martial arts, and good looks, the day before yesterday, Ermen Li Mama also came to beg me, to match her little flower to Eleven, I didn't respond, that little flower is too simple, really not worthy of a good man like Eleven, I have to match, but also the Spring Ying girl is so literate and hyphenated." ”
Chunying's face became more and more red when she heard this, and her heart was also happy, her voice was like a mosquito, and she said softly, "Madame said that she laughed, the slave is stupid, but she is not worthy of the eleventh captain." ”
The general's wife hid the ridicule in her eyes, and smiled so lovingly, "Miss Chunying, don't be presumptuous, up and down the two mansions, count and count, and you are a top-notch person." If you really want to, I will be an old man under this month, and achieving a good marriage is also a matter of accumulating blessings and virtues. ”
Chunying didn't expect that in just a few words, the things she had been looking forward to were settled, as if in a dream, she couldn't wait to jump up with joy, but the woman's reserve still reminded her, and replied in a low voice, "But it's up to Mrs. to decide." ”
The general's wife smiled even more happily, "That's good, that's good." But—" she pondered for a moment, and then said, "Your slave status is still in the waiting house, if I ask Mama Gui or your young lady to ask for it, they will definitely not give it back, but now where they are, I still don't know, I'm afraid this matter will have to be delayed." ”
Chunying was also ruthless at this time, and decided to give it a go for a better life in the future, her eyes rolled and rolled, and she really came up with a good idea, so she smiled and said, "Madam, the slave maid has also heard many interesting stories in the market during the days when Mama Gui is outside, if the lady is not sleepy, just listen to the slave and maid tell one, how about it?" ”
The general's wife and the old woman glanced at each other, with a touch of joy on their faces, the old woman stepped forward to refill the tea for Chunying, and said with a smile, "Miss Chunying is right, the general and the young general are not in the house, Miss Roulan is well-behaved and quiet, Mrs. is very boring, Miss Chunying has a story, so let's tell it to relieve Mrs. Boredom." ”
Chunying took a sip of tea, pondered in her heart, and said, "We followed Mama around the city by car, and we arrived a few days ago... Lingfeng City, in a teahouse, I heard gossip, saying that outside Lingfeng City, there is a small village, called Yunjia Village, last autumn, the villagers picked up a seriously injured woman to go back, it happened that Mr. Zhao, who taught Mengtong in their village, was also seriously ill, and the village elders made the decision to give them a kiss, and they rejoiced with each other.
I didn't expect that woman to be a prosperous man, since she married this gentleman, not to mention the husband's illness, she also opened several shops on the dock and in the city, making a good meal, and now she is pregnant again, there is a doctor's pulse, saying that it is a male and a female dragon and phoenix fetus, that gentleman is happy like a fool every day. As a result, one day, many slaves came to the door, saying that the woman's family was rich, but the woman was seriously injured and had a high fever, burned out her brain, forgot all about the past, and refused to believe it, so she wanted to live with her husband.
Madame, don't you say it's unusual? ”
The general's wife squinted her eyes and was silent for a long time, but she also smiled slowly, "Well, this thing is indeed very unusual, then Mr. Zhao is also a person who has accumulated good fortune in his previous life, and he only picked up such a good wife in this life, and he is rich and prosperous." ”
Chunying understood that Madame must have understood her story, so she smiled and said, "The slave is stupid and can't say anything, so it's a good story, it's a little boring." It's getting late, Madame rests early, and another day Madame has a free day, and the slave maid will definitely tell Madame something more interesting. ”
The general's wife nodded, "Miss Chunying is so clever, she will definitely marry a wishful husband in the future." ”
Chunying got this reassurance, the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't hide it, and after getting up and saluting and thanking her, she took two steps back and went out.
The old woman carefully covered the door of the house, walked back quickly, and said with a smile, "The old slave said hello to Mrs., although the person is still alive, but she has forgotten everything about the past, and she married and had children, even if the young general finds her, she will definitely not be able to marry again, and Mrs. can rest assured." ”
The general's wife was also full of joy, "I'm afraid that the Buddha knows that I am bored with this matter day and night, and specially sent me kindness to go to this heart disease." ”
"Exactly, Mrs. is kind-hearted, the Buddha is very sincere, and the Buddha naturally blesses Mrs. All wishes come true."
The general's wife was coaxed by the old woman to be more and more happy, glared at her, and said, "Old man, how old are you, and your mouth is still like honey." Aren't you worried about your second girl, tomorrow you want her to come into the house to do things, a woman sells meat all day long, and it doesn't look good. ”
The old woman was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank her.
The master and servant were overjoyed, and began to think about how to deal with the general when he came back, after all, the woman had forgotten everything in the past, and now she was found by Gui Mama, in case she coincidentally remembered the past one day, wouldn't they be exposed, although she could not marry into the mansion again, but it was very easy to provoke the general's father and son to be separated from her.
The general's wife frowned and thought for a long time, a fierce color flashed in her eyes, she clenched the sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand, and said softly, "In this matter, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”
The old woman's body stiffened, but she still agreed, "Madame is right, but that Lingfeng City is also ten days away from here, and it is not as convenient as being in the mansion that day." There are more generals and major generals who will be back soon..."
The general's wife's slender fingers slowly tapped on the tabletop, lowered her eyes and thought for a long time, and then asked, "You go for a while, send a letter to your uncle, Lan'er is also her niece, there is no reason for me to bother with her life's affairs, he should also contribute." ”
The mother-in-law immediately responded and said with a smile, "The Lord Commander also loves Miss Roulan very much, but Mrs. takes care of her very well, and he is not too close to him as an uncle, so it seems to be estranged." ”
