Chapter 056: Shi Tai is empathetic
Mama Tang became the old lady's personal maid at the age of twelve, and at the age of nineteen, she married into the Luo family with the fifteen-year-old lady, and she never married anyone in her life, and she was a hardcore loyal servant of the Luo family. She pays the most attention to the distinction between master and servant, hates unfaithful slaves who betray their masters, and never speaks ill of the Luo family.
Fourth Miss Luo Baishao is the granddaughter of the old lady, under normal circumstances, Mama Tang will never talk about the rights and wrongs of Miss Four, even if He Angelica said just now that Miss Four had "accidentally" sprinkled Diao Yam on her chest, although Mama Tang would not really think that Miss Four was an unintentional mistake, because it was a handful of poison instead of a handful of dirt, no one would walk on the road with the poison, and then accidentally sprinkled it on others; But after Mama Tang listened to He Angelica's description, her first reaction was that she must seal He Angelica's mouth, and don't say anything to ruin the reputation of Miss Four, not how to punish Miss Four.
In Mama Tang's view, every young lady of the Luo family is innocent, well-behaved and sensible, innocent is like the dew on the petals in spring, even if they do something wrong, there are slaves who have damaged them, and their essence is still pure and kind. But now, Mama Tang has personally felt the terrible medicinal properties of Diao Yam, and tasted the itch that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, if the self-control is poor, it is really dangerous to scratch the skin and flesh!
At this time, Mama Tang finally knew why this medicine became the favorite of the old bustard in the Qinglou, and why this medicine had the terrifying ability to force good people to become prostitutes, because as long as she tasted the taste of Diao Yam once, it would not be like a second time in her life. Thinking that he just touched the tea bowl brought by the third lady, it was so uncomfortable, wouldn't the third miss who had directly touched the clothes stained with medicinal powder be even more painful? Hearing her say that she had more medicinal powder for the first time, and she had been itching like this for two or three days, and it was so pitiful to endure such an ordeal at such a young age. She is Mrs. Gu's only daughter, and she must help her get justice, otherwise Miss Fourth won't know what she will do next time!
Thinking of this, Mama Tang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and it was just a white magnolia loose flower gauze dress with cactus spikes, because the third lady's skin was punctured a little was only a temporary pain, and it didn't cause any actual damage.
However, that set of ivory silk coats and obscene pants is the most intimate clothing, and there are itchy and unbearable yams in it, if the third lady is tomorrow before getting on the sedan chair, she will have a seizure on the sedan chair, and she will take off the most intimate clothes for a while...... Mama Tang couldn't help but shiver, the sedan chair was followed by the eight guards of Luofu, in case they heard the call of the third lady and stepped forward to check, the innocence of the third young lady would be ruined! When the time comes, it will be unfavorable for him to do an errand, and he will not be able to send the third lady back to the Luo family safely, even if the old lady does not drive her away, she will have no face to stay in the Luo family anymore.
Mama Tang pushed open the basin containing cold water, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Third Miss, you are now tickling powder, it is not suitable to travel far, please stay in the Taoist temple for another day or two, the old slave must go back to Luo's house first!" By the morning after tomorrow at the latest, the old slave will definitely come back to pick up the third lady! If there is no accident, the old slave will bring the fourth lady with her, ask her to apologize to you, and let her listen to the scriptures in the Taoist temple for a period of time to cultivate her self-cultivation! ”
Even through a veil, you can feel He Angelica exuding infinite surprise and unbearable meaning.
He Angelica exclaimed: "Mama, since you are unwell, why don't you rest in the Taoist temple for two days before setting off, if it is late today, why do you have to rush overnight?" And the fourth sister hasn't done anything to be sorry for me, why does Mama want the fourth sister to apologize to me? This Taoist temple is so simple, the fourth sister is unacceptable! ”
Mama Tang said firmly: "The fourth lady must be punished, and this is also for her sake, if it is not a last resort, the old slave is not willing to expose the fourth lady's shortcomings to the old lady." Now that I think about it, the second lady is usually too busy and ignores the teaching of the fourth lady, and there are Diao slaves who take advantage of the loopholes in the middle, so that the fourth lady can learn these harmful tricks. Fortunately, she is only nine years old now, and it is still too late to correct it in time. ”
He Angelica asked in surprise: "What did the fourth sister do wrong?" Mama, you don't think that the itchy powder on your clothes is sprinkled by the fourth sister, right? ”
Mama Tang glared: "Who is she not?" I didn't 'think', now I'm 'sure' that it's her! The dress was personally selected by the second lady, and the small clothes were specially ordered by the second lady, and in the end they were all placed in Baoqin Pavilion waiting for me to get them, and outsiders couldn't touch them at all! Plus Miss Fourth has a collection of itchy powder, who is she if it's not? ”
He Angelica was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, and clarified: "I think Mama you must have misunderstood, this is just a coincidence, Mama said before, when Cui Ranunculus passed through the garden with her clothes, she fell and spilled the clothes on her hands on the ground, I guess, whether it was the thorns of the cactus or the itchy powder, they were all stained at that time." The fourth sister was playful, and I often saw her fiddling in the study with various colors of powder, and I guessed that she must have accidentally spilled the powder in the garden, which only got on those clothes. ”
Seeing that Mama Tang's face was still not good, He Angelica immediately waved his hand again and changed his words: "No, no, maybe the medicinal powder in the garden was not spilled by the fourth sister, the entire Luodong Mansion is so big, and there are nearly three thousand masters and slaves combined, and others may also have that kind of medicine, right?" Perhaps, someone stole the medicine of the fourth sister and deliberately blamed her; Maybe ......"
"Third Miss, don't intercede for her anymore!" Mama Tang interrupted her sharply, "Although itchy powder is a nasty thing, the price is high-class, almost comparable to Heding Hong, ordinary minions can't afford to buy a bottle after saving two or three years of wages, how can they buy a random sprinkle?" I didn't expect that Miss Fourth also had a collection of 'other powders of various colors', and there might be more dangerous forbidden drugs in them, oh my God, I must persuade the old lady to send someone to thoroughly search Miss Four's Taoyao Courtyard! I know that Miss Third is kind by nature and loves your cousin, but if you shield her like this, you will harm her in the future! ”
"How so?" He Angelica covered his mouth through the veil and exclaimed, and tears appeared in Yingying's eyes.
Mama Tang rubbed her palms to relieve the itch, and frowned and told her: "The fourth miss has been pampered since she was a child, and in the entire Luodong Mansion except for the second miss, everyone loves her the most, so she has developed a personality that does not know the sky." Now that she is only nine years old, she has learned to use such poisonous tricks to harm her cousin, and when she grows up and gets married, the disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, between concubines, and between wives and concubines will become more complex and changeable, and she can do whatever she wants! The Luo family loves her a lot because of her identity, but her identity can't be brought to her husband's family, even if she is the emperor's princess, there are times when her husband's family is unsatisfactory. ”
He Angelica wiped his tears with a handkerchief and asked, "Do you have to send the fourth sister here to be trained?" There is also a nurturing grandmother at home, can't you teach the fourth sister at home? ”
"If it weren't for the last resort, I wouldn't be willing to persuade the old lady to make such a decision, now that the matter is so serious that it is necessary to take special measures, I must strongly persuade the old lady to send Sister Shao'er to the Taoist temple, so that those sisters-in-law who don't have seven emotions and six desires can be thoroughly disciplined."
Mama Tang is by no means talking big, how loyal she is to the old lady, how much the old lady trusts and relies on her, therefore, her opinion largely affects the old lady's judgment.
When she was young, Mama Tang was a strong woman with insight and ideas. and the old lady's master and servant have come over for decades, whether it was to assist the old lady in charge of the feed, or now the two of them have retreated to the second line to retire for the rest of their lives, every time Mama Tang finds out what problems exist in Luofu, as long as she puts forward a reasonable risk analysis and then proposes specific rectification measures, the old lady will seriously take it into consideration. After tasting the sweetness of success many times, it not only deepened the old lady's trust in Mama Tang, but also made Mama Tang subconsciously have a conceited emotion slowly breeding.
Strong and conceited, at best it is vigorous and resolute, decisive and capable, at worst it is rigid and self-serving. Coupled with the itching of her hands, Mama Tang was impetuous, which affected her judgment, which made things develop in a better direction than He Angelica expected.
In fact, even if it is not Mama Tang who comes to report today, but any other person from the Luo family, He Angelica can also temporarily play his acting skills and change the theme on the spot. However, Mama Tang is the closest person to the old lady, her role is equivalent to thirty ordinary maids and grandmothers, even if she is still facing the second wife and second lady, as long as she plants a seed of doubt in her heart, if time waits for this seed to take root and sprout, she will definitely be able to help He Angelica pull the bowstring, beat the side drum, and let her sing a big drama in Luo's house.
Mama Tang shook her head and sighed: "Miss, you have no stake in Miss Four, just because you are too good-looking, you make Miss Four feel unhappy, and then use tricks to frame you." When she marries in the future, she will definitely be a proper wife in her identity, and there will be younger and more beautiful women in her husband's concubines, will she kill them all? At that time, she will commit the sin of seven outs, not only will she be abandoned by her in-laws, but even the Luo family will be disgraced! ”
He Angelica blinked his eyes and innocently suggested: "Then find a good husband for the fourth sister who does not marry a concubine!" The second aunt has a lot of connections, and she will definitely be able to find a good family for the fourth sister. ”
Mama Tang shook her head and sighed: "It's not easy to talk about! Not to mention that most of the men in the world are in the twilight, even if there are really a few good men who are willing not to take concubines, there are still irresistible situations. Many times, only one or two of a man's wives and concubines are what he really likes, and the rest are shoehorned into him. To say a word of arrogance, your late grandfather, grandmother and the old lady of our family, the three of them were also entangled when they were young, just because the old lady of Chai Mansion was confused for a while, and the three of them were so tired that they had pimples in their hearts for decades......"
Looking at the innocent eyes of the third lady who didn't know what the relationship between men and women was, Mama Tang shook her head and said, "Forget it, you are still a child, and you can't understand what I say so much." Anyway, in a word, instead of pinning our hopes on finding a good husband, it is better for us to be ruthless ourselves and discipline the fourth lady well. As long as the old lady can be explained, even if the second lady and the second old man oppose it, the fourth lady must have to go to the water business view to practice penance for two or three months, and then decide whether to let her continue to cultivate her body and nature here according to her performance. ”
He Angelica tried hard to persuade in vain: "The fourth sister is very good with me, how can she harm me?" Mama, don't wronged the fourth sister if you don't have evidence, even if there is evidence, you must persuade the ancestor to give the fourth sister a chance to defend herself! In the months when I was hungry, my fourth sister sent me supper for more than four months, so that I could have a good meal every day before going to bed! ”
Mama Tang slapped her thigh angrily, and said hatefully: "Third Miss, can you grow your brain and give you a sumptuous supper before going to bed for four consecutive months, Miss Four's intentions are simply Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!" Only you are stupidly kept in the dark, but you are grateful to her! Seeing He Angelica's confused gaze that still didn't understand it, Mama Tang shook her head, "No matter how bad Miss Fourth is, she is also surnamed Luo, I shouldn't say that she is not, Third Miss, you can slowly comprehend." By the way, how is the way of the sister-in-law of the water business view? Are there many ways to discipline people? If it's not strict enough, I'll have to choose another Taoist temple to train the fourth lady. ”
He Angelica waved his hand and stopped: "Don't look for it anymore, let's just look for it in Shuishangguan!" From the stewards to the disciples of the Taishan masters, all of them are empathetic and exquisite. As long as you put forward your ideas and requests, they will definitely try their best to satisfy you. It's just one thing, they don't love those yellow and white things, if you give them too much silver, they will definitely make all the delicious dishes for the guests in the hostel, then you won't be able to achieve the desired effect. ”
Mama Tang nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, it was originally a penance exercise, I won't keep more money, even if I want to add sesame oil, I will wait until the last time to pick up the fourth lady." And I will remind the old lady that even Miss Four's entourage must be carefully checked, and she will definitely not be allowed to take advantage of the loophole and escape this great opportunity to hone her temperament and will. ”
"I hope that the fourth sister can get rid of her naughty old habits as soon as possible and become a person like the second sister." He Angelica sighed, raised his handkerchief and wiped away his non-existent tears.
Mama Tang was worried about the juniors in Luofu, and she also sighed, and said sincerely: "If those young ladies who live in Luofu can have a flawless personality, temperament, appearance and figure like Miss San, then the Luo family will definitely regain the glory of the old man when he was alive." ”
He Angelica hurriedly excused himself: "Angelica is not as well-behaved as the eldest sister, as delicate as the second sister, as lively as the fourth sister, and as cute as the cousin and niece, how can there be a grandmother who says it so well." Suddenly, she mysteriously glanced left and right, changed her tone of voice, and asked, "Mama, is there anyone in Luofu who is sick?" Sick people are not ...... One of the twin cousins, Wei and Bamboo? The symptoms are not ...... A red rash on your chest? ”
Mama Tang was very surprised, the cold light in her eyes flashed, and she asked oppressively: "Third Miss, who told you this?" There are not many people in the Luo family who know about this, and I am the only one of them who came to see you, how did you know about it? ”
