Chapter 18: The Sunken Lake
Doesn't the grandmother know that Zisu has prejudices against herself? In the end, there is nothing to be done. She wanted to resolve it with Zisu several times, but Zisu didn't give up, so the matter was put on hold, which is why she didn't want to get too involved in returning to the mirror.
Back in the Rolling Garden House, thinking about Zisu's words, the eldest grandmother was secretly sad for a while. The girl beeswax didn't know the situation, she was a little concerned, and the grandmother only said that it was cold and freezing outside, and she was a little angry, so it would be good to warm up for a while.
Beeswax said strangely: "Miss Qi doesn't come, it's just that, and when she comes, she will bring the wind." How good it is to talk in the house, why did grandma go out to see her aunts? ”
The grandmother smiled lightly and was very grateful to the beeswax.
After marrying into Dongfu, the eldest wife Qin asked Zhuang Hu to arrange some people to go to the rolling garden for the eldest grandmother to use, and they had to send people according to the specifications. At that time, Zhuang Hu said to the eldest grandmother: "According to the meaning of the house, the sister-in-law is the head of the family, and the number of people who use it cannot be more, and the less can not be less." The wife said that you will use two in the house, and four for the outside of the house, and those who are assigned to work everywhere will be added according to the house. Sister-in-law, count how many people you need in the rolling garden, report to me, and I will make the scheduling. ”
The eldest grandmother didn't dare to open her mouth to ask for someone by herself, and only said that she could live alone, and there was no need to add it. How do you know that Zhuang Hu made some sarcastic words for this, saying that the eldest grandmother embarrassed the uncle Zhuang Xu. It sounds like a joke, but Zhuang Hu said this: "In many days, the big brother doesn't pay attention to the style, and the people in the house are not as good as the one. What's the point? ”
So, the eldest grandmother said that it would be good to keep one or two people, and there was no need to add more people in the garden. Zhuang Hu didn't say anything and went to report to the Qin family, so the Qin family looked at the eldest grandmother a little differently.
Within a day or two, the Qin family asked his eldest girl Yuan Yi to bring someone to pick for the eldest grandmother.
At that time, Yuan Yi said to the eldest grandmother: "Mrs. said that she can't wronged grandma, so she has to arrange some good ones to serve grandma." These people are the people who came back from the outside of the second master of Beifu, they are clean, and they also listen to the greetings, and the grandmother points to pick them up, and the wife tells the grandmother not to shirk or feel troublesome. ”
The grandmother reluctantly accepted it and chose beeswax from those girls.
Later, Beeswax became familiar with the grandmother and asked her, "Why did Grandma choose me in the first place?" I stood inconspicuously in the back, not good-looking, unable to smile, unable to speak. ”
The eldest grandmother took her hand and said, "If you want to live at home so beautifully, what can you do with laughter?" I saw that you looked quiet, quietly in my heart, and I chose you for this fate. ”
In addition, the grandmother also chose another person. After choosing, the grandmother will keep it for the name.
The name "beeswax" is still given by the grandmother, and the dictionary is the sentence of the literati Yang Wanli of the Song Dynasty: "The queen bee has not been able to enjoy it, and the person has cut the honey room." The old honey has become wax, and the tender honey has become honey". Since then, beeswax has remained close to him. The other person had thick hands and feet, and seemed to be very energetic, and was assigned to use it outside, and he was also given the name, called "Ice Pear", but there was nothing out of the ordinary, because he saw the pear on the table and suddenly thought of it, so he gave it.
It can be seen that the eldest grandmother looks at the girl beeswax, and the beeswax is also very loyal to repay her kindness.
Now, Yu Qi came to the Rolling Garden to talk to the grandmother, and went out to see Aunt Xi and the handler of the second room. The eldest grandmother reasoned that it was due to the weather.
Beeswax saw that the eldest grandmother didn't have anything to say, and knew that she was happy and quiet, so she didn't say anything more.
Next.
The eldest grandmother excused herself by saying that tomorrow was Yu Qi's birthday, and she wanted to say something to the Cao family, so she went to Beifu privately. When I arrived in Beifu, I saw that the Cao family was busy directing people to reconcile accounts, and let people pay close attention to the second girl, there was no time to spare, and after a while, someone came to report something, and she took care of it all inside and outside the house.
When he came in, Cao greeted the eldest grandmother and said, "I'm busy, you can sit by yourself for a while, and talk to you when I'm done." ”
This busy, net to the afternoon, not half a moment of rest, grandma embarrassed to get up and go, sit with for a long time. Later, Cao's subordinate Fei Jiu talked back and forth, and took the girl Ma Dajia together, and bumped into the eldest grandmother sitting on one side, so he didn't make a sound to report, and gently walked to the root of Cao's ear and whispered again.
The eldest grandmother realized this, got up and went to salute, and said, "Mrs. is busy, then I will come back later, and I will walk outside the courtyard." ”
Cao nodded and didn't leave her.
Going out from Cao's place, walking a few yards, nothing more than looking at the flowers and appreciating the grass, in fact, I remember the bamboo garden very much, I wish to walk to visit with one foot, but it is not good to be blatant, so I walked slowly and stopped.
After walking for a while, the grandmother saw that there was no one around, turned to the direction of the fence bamboo garden, walked according to the path, went down through the lakeside corridor, crossed the bridge, and approached the fence bamboo garden. When she walked to the bottom of the porch, she saw a few people in the gazebo by the lake, chattering.
The eldest grandmother listened carefully, it was the voices of the two sisters, Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying, as well as their girls Wanjin and Ziyuan.
Beeswax grabbed the grandmother slightly and gestured, "Grandma, look over there." ”
The eldest grandmother raised her eyes slightly, and really saw clearly, the two Zhuang sisters leaned on the railing of the gazebo, stretched out two fishing rods, and the girl looked behind her at the line floating on the water.
It turned out that these people were fishing.
The big grandmother wanted to turn around and leave.
Who knows, Zhuang Xuan's girl Wanjin "yo" sounded, roughly signaling the girls to pay attention, and she said, "Grandma is here." ”
Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying brushed a few pairs of eyes and turned to look.
Zhuang Ying knew the etiquette, turned to the grandmother, and bowed halfway. Zhuang Qian didn't move, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said happily: "Sister-in-law came to fish!" ”
After listening, the eldest grandmother moved the lotus step lightly and slowly approached.
After entering the pavilion, the grandmother tiptoed to look at the lake, and then laughed quietly: "The girl is fishing!" ”
Zhuang Qi laughed out loud and said, "A good fish is not afraid of thunder, so what do you do quietly." Sister-in-law is still afraid that the bad fish will not take the bait? ”
The eldest grandmother smiled shyly to hide her embarrassment.
Zhuang Ying came to help her grandmother a little, greeted spring with a smiling face, and her beautiful eyes swam between her eyebrows to show her the basket containing fish on the ground.
The basket was empty.
The eldest grandmother smiled: "The girl who dares to love is here? ”
Zhuang Xuan didn't reply, and the girl Wan Jin standing behind her said naughtily: "Grandma doesn't know, the two girls have been sitting for most of the day, and none of them have been caught." ”
Wan Jin didn't stop, Zhuang Qi shouted excitedly: "Take a look!" What is this not a fish? ”
Everyone looked at the lake according to Zhuang Xuan's eyes, and saw that the line pole in her hand was moving, and it was obvious that the fish in the lake had been hooked.
The eldest grandmother saw that the line was pulled nervously, and felt that there was a big fish underneath, so she urged Zhuang Ying to help pull it, and she involuntarily went to help Zhuang Xuan.
Who knows, Zhuang Xuan threw a rod on the ground and said angrily: "Look, the fish has run away!" ”
Everyone looked at the lake again, and there was no trace of life.
Zhuang Ying shook her head and said to the eldest grandmother: "Sister-in-law Hugh wants to believe her, this trick has played me many times." She was moving her own hands, and she was blind and said that a big fish had taken the bait. ”
Zhuang Xuan quibbled: "Your hooves and mouth stink, if it weren't for your crooked chatter and a few carts of complaints, this would have been a basket full of harvest." ”
Wan Jin saw Zhuang Ying's flushed face, and hurriedly supported her, but raised his chin to the eldest grandmother, and said, "The girl blames the third girl, maybe the eldest grandmother is here, and the fish knows her, so she won't take the bait." ”
When the grandmother heard this, she couldn't stand.
At that time, the girl Zi Mandarin picked up the fishing rod from the ground and handed it to Zhuang Xuan, but Zhuang Xuan didn't answer, but said, "Don't fish." He said in a strange voice: "That's the strange sister-in-law?" My sister-in-law should pay me a basket. ”
The embarrassment of the grandmother is repeated, and she is only promised.
Beeswax didn't know that Zhuang Qian was joking, so he only cared about the protector, and said softly: "The girl is also wrong with our grandmother, when our grandmother came, I saw that the thread in your hand was moving!" ”
Zhuang Xuan's eyes swept towards the beeswax, he was stunned for a while, laughed non-stop, and said, "Yo, my sister-in-law is really smart." ”
The eldest grandmother responded to Zhuang Qian with a smile, and signaled to the beeswax to apologize with her eyes.
Beeswax recognized, and quickly bowed deeply.
The eldest grandmother said: "Don't be angry with her, girl, she is a newcomer like me, and she doesn't know the rules." I beg your pardon. ”
Zhuang Xuan said "um", sat on the railing, and sighed: "Sister-in-law sits." ”
The eldest grandmother was embarrassed to sit down and said, "I'll come to greet my wife, and I'll go out for a walk when my wife is busy." Seeing that my heels are directionless, come and disturb the golden hook of the girl on the fish fairy. I didn't dare to sit down. ”
Zhuang Qi said: "Then what's the matter, sister-in-law is here to fish!" My sister-in-law can catch it, and she will pay me a loss. ”
Zhuang Ying felt that Zhuang Ju's joke was too much, and helped the eldest grandmother speak: "Sister-in-law, leave her alone, let her sit alone!" "Then I pulled my grandmother to leave.
Zhuang Xuan stopped him and said, "Hoofs without conscience, this son will recognize my sister-in-law as my own family." Dongfu has a lot of financial power, and I can't lose a basket of fish, so what can I do if I catch a basket of fish on the spot? ”
Zhuang Ying said: "My sister is bored and continues to sit down and fish, so why bother sister-in-law." It is pure to take people and bully. ”
Zhuang Xuan didn't comply, and said, "Did I say something wrong?" I was just there, and when I saw the fish on the hook, it was my sister-in-law who came and scared away my big fish. I'm just bored, otherwise, what do I want my sister-in-law to do? ”
As he spoke, he handed the bamboo pole to the grandmother.
The eldest grandmother is not good not to take it, and it is even more difficult to ride a tiger in her hands, and in this scene, Zhuang Qi is chattering, and the fish at the bottom may not be willing to take the bait, and he has something important to do when he comes to Beifu.
Fortunately, there was a burst of laughter next to the gazebo. The people searched for prestige, but no one was found.
Zhuang Xuan shouted at the voice, "Who is it?" What's so funny? ”
After speaking, Zhuang Xiu himself couldn't stop laughing, and his voice was louder than the person just now. It means to compete.
In the blink of an eye, the laughter before stopped. Zhuang Qi and the others were puzzled, and heard the squeak of the green grass by the lake, and walked out alone.
Everyone can see it clearly, and it is exquisite.
Zhuang Xuan saw that it was true, his originally smiling face suddenly froze, his eyes widened, and he urged Wan Jin: "Wan Jin, when did a hen come to our lake, and it was so noisy." ”
Wan Jin said: "Girl, the hen doesn't know the master, I heard that if one person gains the Tao, the hen will go to heaven." Isn't it easier to get to our lake than to heaven? ”
Zhuang Xuan calmed his face and said, "Go, drive the hen away." No wonder I can't catch fish, it turns out that I have bad luck! ”
Between words, Yi Linglong bent down, lifted a basket from the grass, and pulled out a bamboo pole. smiled: "Oh, there are so many fish on my side, I have to have a basket after a while." It's all to blame for the chickens and ducks over there, otherwise I could still catch a basket! ”
Yi Linglong's voice was so high and loud that it could be heard throughout the lake.
Zhuang Xuan couldn't bear to be so sarcastic, so he stomped his feet and said, "Who is the chicken and who is the duck?" You make it clear! ”
Yi Linglong didn't raise her eyes, and said in her mouth: "Oh, why is this water surface so bright, I can't see anything, I heard a chicken called Hua Tender Chicken crowing!" It's annoying! ”
Zhuang Qi was angry, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to tear up. Seeing this, Zhuang Ying and the eldest grandmother didn't call the girl to pull it, but were anxious to hold Zhuang Xuan.
Zhuang Qi was angry on his head, and he squirmed to find Yi Linglong. Yi Linglong glanced at it quietly, and felt ridiculous, so she couldn't stop laughing, this scene was even more arrogant.
Several people writhed in the pavilion. Zhuang Xuan was extremely angry, waved his hand away, and hit the eldest grandmother on the head and face, and the eldest grandmother was forced and fell to the railing.
Suddenly, I only heard the girl screaming behind me, and at the same time, I heard a sound from under the pavilion.
When everyone looked down at the pavilion, the water splashed, the water halo was linked, and the grandmother opened her arms, looming and struggling underwater, shouting.
Yes, the eldest grandmother was pushed into the water by Zhuang Xuan.
