Chapter Thirty-Four: The Spring of the Ninth Master Has Arrived
"Oops! There was an exclamation, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
There was clutter in the kitchen, and when Noah ran to the back window and leaned out to look out, there was no one in front of the window, and only a corner of the blue maid's dress flickered past and disappeared around the corner of the house.
It's too late to chase it out, there are many people outside, where can you tell who is eavesdropping?
"You've been in the house for a long time, maybe you can hear who is the right person to listen to the wall?" Noah turned his head and asked the ingot, who was still immersed in hard work.
Yuanbao's mouth was stuffed full, and he was quite unimpressed: "Those mothers-in-law are good at listening to Zhang's parents, the Li family is short, talking nonsense everywhere, what are you doing with them?" ”
Noya thought about it for a while, and his conversation with Yuan Bao Shicai was not a secret, and when he saw that a cook came back with charcoal, he closed the door and window stupidly.
In a short time, the old lady sent her mother-in-law to deliver the message, and Xuan Nuoya went to the front hall to speak.
Several people have always picked their noses and eyes at Noya, and they have to cause some trouble if they have nothing to do, so Noah was too lazy to come forward, and after a long time, he took off his apron, brushed off the smoke and dust on his body, and followed his mother-in-law.
The feast was nearing its end, and the tables were in disarray, and the girls removed the dishes and put on the mouthwash tea and handkerchief.
Noya knew that the northern climate was dry, and it was not suitable for eating too spicy dishes, and the old lady was recovering from a serious illness, so she was merciful when cooking, except for the first dish that the hand accidentally shivered, and did not put too many chili peppers.
It seems that today's dishes are indeed quite in line with the old lady's appetite, no wonder she is rare to be kind to herself and clear her face.
Bailijiu patted his belly and leaned on the Taishi chair, and when he saw Noya coming in, he only lazily raised his eyelids at her, and then hiccuped comfortably.
Qin Bao'er wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, turned around and ordered Xiao Man behind her, with a proud face: "Aunt Lin served well today, and she was rewarded." ”
Xiaoman should have prepared in advance, took out a silver bill from the placket, stepped forward and handed it to Lin Nuoya, as arrogant and rude as her master: "This is my young lady's reward for you." ”
Lin Nuoya knew that Qin Darling was rewarding and secretly depreciating, declaring her superior status in front of others, and degrading Nuoya to be humble.
Noah smiled slightly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Noah is just expressing her filial piety to the old lady, and it is useless." What's more, you are a guest invited by the old lady, if you feel satisfied, you only need to express your gratitude to her old man. ”
Xiao Man's hand stiffened, he didn't know how to answer, and turned his head to ask Qin Darling for help.
Qin Bao'er said extremely impatiently: "The old lady naturally doesn't need you to worry about it, this is the hard-earned money that is rewarded to you, you can spend it, and be thoughtful up and down, so as not to be said that you are stingy, and my face as a lady is not good-looking." ”
Noya sneered in her heart, this was clearly revealing her shortcomings in front of Baili Jiu. How to refute this without revealing a trace is a scholar, if you don't pay attention to it, not only An Ruoxi, but even the people in the house are afraid that they will offend Guang.
She glanced at Baili Jiu, who was full of wine and food, and was holding a toothpick to look at the joke. Bailijiu immediately sat upright, with a sense of crisis.
"Mrs. Xie Qin's reward, Ninth Master, you can take it for Nuoya."
Baili Jiu's skin is thicker than Lin Nuoya's, leaned over and took the silver coin in Xiaoman's hand, stuffed it into his arms, and pointed at Nuoya with a "tsk" voice and said: "The master has already given you so many rewards, and you are still greedy for this little advantage." ”
The style of speech was obviously towards Lin Nuoya, ridiculing Qin's darling for rewarding stinginess.
Qin Darling was bored, and she couldn't have a seizure, so angry that she almost crushed her silver teeth.
An Ruoxi on the side rounded the scene, covered her lips and smiled: "Let's just say that the ninth master is eccentric and rewards his sister Noldor gold and silver, but we can't even see a shadow." Now I'm still complaining, and I don't dare to show my sister's intentions. ”
"It seems that the master's heart is a little off." Baili Jiu lowered his head and gestured with his hand on his chest to find the position of his heart: "Nuo'er is pregnant with the first son of my Baili Mansion, so naturally I want to be petted, and the whole house can be petted vigorously, and I will be spoiled to the sky!" ”
Lin Nuoya was full of excitement, Baili Jiu deliberately provoked her to anger? But looking at Qin Bao'er's gaze, he almost wanted to breathe fire, if he hadn't just eaten enough, he was afraid that he would have to tear himself into his belly, chew it, chew it, and swallow it.
Spoil me? Grandma's, you sit and I stand, you eat and I watch, let me be a "pregnant woman" to serve your family to eat and drink, and have the face to spoil me?
The old lady saw that her son began to talk nonsense again, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Xiao Jiu finally came back, and he will go back to the barracks tomorrow morning, so let's rest early, right?" ”
Bailijiu was reluctant: "I haven't tasted this tea yet, so you will issue an eviction order, am I so unwelcome to you?" ”
The old lady smiled and nodded his forehead: "You have always been in a hurry in front of me, scratching your ears and cheeks like a monkey, and I look confused." Go down all of you, and leave Noah to talk to me. ”
Noya was inexplicable, the old lady had always had a headache when she looked at herself, so what did she do with herself? Could it be that the mouth of the cannibal is short, and you have to thank yourself?
She looked left and right, and saw An Ruoxi and Qin Darling on the side lowering their heads when they heard this, their cheeks were crimson, and their eyes were full of spring, and they suddenly realized.
This is the old lady who dislikes herself and gets in the way, so she stays in front of her and urges Bailijiu to do "business".
Noah put his hand on the pergola and looked out, the sun was still high, he was prostituting during the day, openly pimping, alas, the old lady was too much.
Winter is coming, will the spring of the Ninth Master be far away?
Qin An and the others thanked the old lady shyly, smiled implicitly at Baili Jiu, the autumn waves rippled, and only then did they reply with a sense of urgency, and they couldn't twist the waist of the water snake into a twist and drip oil.
Noya quietly waved his hand at Baili Jiu, and made a congratulatory gesture with his teeth. Bailijiu smiled malice.
The old lady glanced at Noya angrily, took out a butterfly hairpin from her sleeve, and handed it to Bailijiu: "Ruoxi, why is this kid so careless today, he actually threw the hairpin to me, and you just handed it back to her in a while." ”
Noah pouted secretly: This old lady's heart is not a little biased.
Baili Jiu is a rebellious character, and he has always liked to work against his mother. Her mind Noah could guess, how could he not understand?
He took the hairpin in the old lady's hand, didn't look at it, and threw it to the ingots on the side: "Help me run to Mrs. An's yard." ”
Yuan Bao didn't wait for the old lady to open her mouth to stop her, and she had already run away without a trace, faster than a rabbit.
"Tonight, Aunt Lin will stay with me, you can wash up early and go rest." The old lady was obviously displeased, and seeing that Baili Jiu was still standing still, she urged again.
Bailijiu turned his head and smiled at Lin Nuoya, Nuoya felt a little hairy in her heart, and she grew crazy "rubbing", she had a premonition that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Baili Jiu squinted his eyes and said fiercely: "I still have an account that I haven't settled with Nuo'er." ”
"What account? We'll talk about it tomorrow! The old lady's face immediately sank.
Bailijiu shook his head: "This woman didn't fight for three days, went to the house to uncover the tiles, and actually burned her son's beast garden, which is a great crime, and it must not be connived." ”
"It's just a few house sparrows, and you can catch them again. What's more, Aunt Lin is now pregnant, and this fault is remembered for the time being. ”
The old lady protected her for the second time, which made Nuoya feel for the first time that the old lady was kind and kind, comparable to Guanyin Bodhisattva who rescued suffering.
"It is precisely because she is pregnant that prenatal education is very important!" Baili Jiuyi pulled Noya's hand and didn't give up: "I have to teach her a lesson today, otherwise I'm not in the house, she is pampered and will poke a hole in the sky." ”
Bailijiu couldn't help but drag Nuoya out of Haitang Bay and went straight back to Yinian Hall. Noah was apprehensive and well-behaved and silent.
"I helped you out today, how can you thank me?" Bailijiu let go of her hand, turned around and asked with a smile.
"The Ninth Master uses Noya as a shield, so he doesn't owe each other, and the two cancel each other out, right?" Noah asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it enough for you to burn the tent of the beast garden?"
"I didn't do it in the first place, and the Ninth Master knows it." Noah muttered under his breath.
"Since you have confessed it yourself, what do I have to doubt? You're stupid enough, you're stupid enough. Bailijiu pouted disdainfully: "Master remembers that you were very spicy when you were in Linlang Pavilion, why did you directly admit it this time?" ”
"The Ninth Master knew Noya before?" Lin Nuoya looked up and asked suspiciously, "When?" ”
Baili Jiu smiled evilly: "Of course, I have known each other for a long time, and I am in love with each other, and I am committed to it for life, otherwise how can you have the flesh and blood of your master?" ”
"You?!" Seeing that Baili Jiu was not serious again, Noah was so angry that he turned his head and left. If it is about being thick-skinned, she is willing to bow down in front of Baili Jiu.
"If you forget, the night is long, and the lord can remind you slowly." Baili Jiu laughed.
Noah paused, turned his head, and smiled smartly: "I'm sorry, master, today Noya checked the old imperial calendar of Yiniantang, and everything is not appropriate today." The night is long, you should go to Mrs. An to do something important for the benefit of the country and the people, and to pass on the ancestry. ”
Baili Jiu smacked his lips: "If you don't want to accompany me, can your husband go back to Linlang Pavilion and talk to the beautiful sisters there at night?" ”
Noya didn't look back, walked straight into the courtyard, and closed the door: "Remember to mention my name, my own family, I will still take care of it." ”
Bailijiu laughed "haha": "As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials, and the ancients did not deceive me." Marry a good wife, it is convenient to find flowers and ask willows. ”
Lin Nuoya behind the door secretly scolded: "Looking for flowers and asking willows? Beware of the willows! ”
